00:00Hey, I wasn't expecting to see you.
00:21I decided to work from home today.
00:24Harrison's upstairs getting ready.
00:26He is beyond thrilled it's a teacher's birthday, he doesn't have to go to school.
00:30This part, he gets to hang with you.
00:33Well, he's the best part of my day, too.
00:39Are you okay?
00:43Why wouldn't I be?
00:44Just another day in the life, watching my parents implode in front of me, and you, and
01:22Hey, what's up?
01:32Thanks for meeting me here.
01:33Sure.
01:34Sure.
01:35I love getting fresh air.
01:36What's, uh, what's this about though?
01:38Is that Amy Lewis woman still coming into town tomorrow?
01:41Uh, yeah, as far as I know, but, uh, this is about, uh, Quentin's business and I hope
01:47you'll keep an open mind.
01:50Quentin's really something I'm not going to lie here.
01:54I think we should hire Audra Charles.
02:07Good afternoon.
02:09Hi.
02:11We need to talk.
02:15I understand if we both got screwed over by the same person, Victor Newman.
02:24So anyone doing media articles, a followup drops today, smoothing over Rogers departure
02:33from the side.
02:34Oh, and you're going to love the one bearing Billy had Abbott Chancellor as ordered.
02:43So you understand why I'm doing this, right?
02:46What you said about Nikki and Jack, but you understand where I draw the line with Jack,
02:55but you don't mind taking down Billy Abbott couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
03:06Hello Victor.
03:07Chelsea.
03:08My goodness.
03:09Nice to see you.
03:10Good to see you too.
03:12I will make sure he gets them.
03:17Well, if you don't mind my saying so, that's very nice to see you're co-parenting should
03:25be.
03:32I don't have time.
03:33Oh, you would.
03:34If you went along with my plan.
03:36And by the way, you are welcome for the coffee.
03:39Have you decided what you're going to do?
03:43Fire me, not fire me.
03:44I'll tell you the best option.
03:45Pretend to fire me.
03:47Honestly, Billy, let me work in a stealth capacity.
03:52Okay.
03:53I will get the company through these rough patches and boom it.
03:59You will become a superstar.
04:01Everyone will love you.
04:02They'll love me too.
04:03It's a no brainer.
04:04Phyllis.
04:05I'm not.
04:06I don't like the idea of you working in a stealth capacity, but I already set everything
04:11up.
04:12Listen, hold on a second.
04:13I need you to just give me some space.
04:15Okay, let me get my mom off my back about firing you and I will bring you back when
04:19I can.
04:20No, you won't.
04:21No, no.
04:22It's got to be now.
04:23No, it's got it.
04:24You got to give me a little bit of space.
04:25What you got to do.
04:26No, whatever, Billy.
04:27Whatever.
04:29Hello.
04:30Hi.
04:31I didn't want to interrupt.
04:32I know you're busy.
04:33You have a company to run.
04:34So that makes sense.
04:35It's okay.
04:36You want to sit?
04:37Yeah.
04:38Yeah.
04:39Yeah.
04:40Yeah.
04:41Yeah.
04:42Yeah.
04:43Yeah.
04:44You have no time to talk business, but you have time for her.
05:08I was hoping I would run into you.
05:14Must've been hard.
05:15Hmm.
05:16To see my father verbally attack my mother?
05:19In public, no less.
05:20I would love nothing more than to forget it ever happened.
05:24Hey, there.
05:26Hey.
05:27Oh, that is quite an outfit, partner.
05:29You going on a rodeo?
05:30Of course.
05:31Taking me to a farm where they make cheese and ice cream and we get to feed the goats
05:35and little cows.
05:36Little cows?
05:38I can see the appeal.
05:39Oh, you might actually need a jacket.
05:40It's a little bit windy.
05:41Then can we go?
05:42Absolutely.
05:43Bet.
05:44You can't catch me.
05:45Are you calling me slow?
05:46Ooh.
05:47Gotcha!
05:48Dad!
05:49I'm gonna get you!
05:50I'm gonna get you!
05:51No, come here, you two.
05:52To go, please.
05:54I would get you a coffee, but you look like you're good.
05:55I'm not.
05:56I'm not.
05:57I'm not.
05:58I'm not.
05:59I'm not.
06:00I'm not.
06:01I'm not.
06:02I'm not.
06:03I'm not.
06:04I'm not.
06:05I'm not.
06:06I'm not.
06:08Yeah, uh, look, about last night.
06:15No, we don't.
06:16We don't go there.
06:17No, I do.
06:18I need to go there.
06:19I need to apologize for kissing you.
06:27You didn't kiss me.
06:30We kissed each other and called me crazy, but I feel like we both needed it, so you
06:38don't have to apologize.
06:40Okay.
06:41I mean, we know what it was.
06:44It was just hurt feelings and residual anger and, you know, a few, quite a few whiskey
06:50shots later and we kissed.
06:53You know, maybe we even both liked it, but, you know, it wasn't for the right reasons.
07:01So yeah, I don't disagree with any of that, but still, um, I just thank you for not being
07:11offended.
07:12I mean, it could have been worse.
07:15I could have fallen straight into bed with you.
07:20Javon, she is a hell of a businesswoman.
07:25She has great instincts, okay?
07:27She's passionate, creative, resilient.
07:30She'd be an asset to any company.
07:32Do you think maybe you're a little biased to Audra and her passion?
07:38She was smart enough to wrestle Glissade away from Tucker.
07:41She lost it to Kyle Abbott, right?
07:43You have to know Kyle had a hand in getting her booted from Glissade, yes.
07:48I didn't know that, but it doesn't really matter either way because there's just no
07:53chance in hell I'm going to hire Audra.
07:57Let me guess, Nate told you?
08:01Victor cut you out of some deal you were working on together.
08:06My condolences.
08:07You know, I was really hoping to just enjoy my lunch in peace.
08:11Oh, lunch.
08:13That's right.
08:15Martini extra olives.
08:17Oh, okay.
08:18You're staying.
08:21We're both out on our asses because of the great Victor Newman.
08:25We have a lot to discuss.
08:28Sure.
08:29All right.
08:31So I heard that you're heading up Glissade with Kyle and then all of a sudden you were
08:36gone.
08:37So how does Victor play into that?
08:40Well, I already violated my NDA.
08:43So I stopped now.
08:47Victor is the mystery investor who helped me take Glissade away from Tucker.
08:53I trusted him and as far as he can trust the man and then he fired me for no reason.
09:02Or maybe the reason is that you were dealing with Kyle and Victor and you were out of your
09:05league.
09:08Let me guess.
09:10You got screwed over because you play into that whole too smart to fail thing.
09:16Victor made me promises.
09:17What'd you got in writing?
09:20Well, our families go way back.
09:24No paper.
09:25Working move.
09:26Yeah.
09:27You know what?
09:28You're right.
09:29It was.
09:30I mean, Victor is a master of the game and I fell for it.
09:34Ironic, isn't it?
09:37Even knowing who Victor is, what he's capable of, we still got played, but I am definitely
09:47going to get what I deserve.
09:50All right, we'll pump the brakes, pop.
09:56We're just exchanging shin guards, not wedding bands.
10:00I'm going to put these in the car.
10:04Okay.
10:05Victor.
10:06It's always good to see you.
10:07Good to see you.
10:08Oh, Chelsea.
10:09Yeah.
10:10Yeah.
10:11You and I have had our ups and downs.
10:19That's putting it nicely.
10:22I've watched you become a remarkable woman, a great mother.
10:30I know that Adam and Sally split up.
10:36I also know that you and Billy Abbott ended things, right?
10:42So I just want to say, what's my two cents worth?
10:49Sally Spector was never right about it.
10:53You was right for him.
10:56That's all I'm going to say, you and I stayed.
11:05That's it.
11:06A hard pass without even thinking about it.
11:08Well, I don't trust Audra, so I'm certainly not going to hire her.
11:14And listen, if I'm being completely honest with you, whatever you guys have going on
11:18with each other, this relationship, whatever you're calling it, I really think you're setting
11:22yourself up for trouble.
11:26Listen, cousin, I don't need the judgment, OK?
11:29I'm just giving you my opinion because I don't want to see you get hurt.
11:32You know me well enough to know I can take care of myself.
11:35You're absolutely right, I do.
11:38And I don't mean to overstep, and I certainly don't want this to be an issue with us.
11:44So just know I'm grateful that we're working together.
11:49And I'm just as grateful to be a part of this family, slightest.
12:00There's no place I'd rather be.
12:03That's good to hear.
12:04It's great to hear.
12:05And we just have to convince Lily that this is where she needs to be.
12:12You still think that's an option?
12:15She seemed pretty adamant.
12:16She had zero interest in joining us at Winters.
12:18Well, I'm not going to give up hope that she's going to make the right decision.
12:23We just have to get her to forget about battling Victor for Abbot Chancellor.
12:30Knowing how stubborn she is, I don't see that happening.
12:38Victor may think that he's won, but I am not going to stop until I'm back on top at Chancellor.
12:47The Winters and the Newmans, how'd you put it?
12:51Go way back.
12:52Make daddy pay it your way, how hard can it be?
12:58Do you even know what it's like to have to claw and scrape your way into a job you want?
13:06A life you want?
13:08I have worked very hard to get to where I am.
13:11Lily proving it.
13:14I maneuvered Tucker McCall out of his own company and he never saw it coming.
13:19No, no, no.
13:20You stole it.
13:21So I guess you missed the ethics course during your MBA.
13:27Well some of us don't have the luxury of playing by the rules, Lily.
13:30Instead of cheating, why don't you trust yourself?
13:35Trust your gut.
13:36Don't listen to other people or the haters who underestimate you.
13:40And stop talking about what you want and take what's yours.
13:45Weird that you're practically cheerleading me to succeed.
13:51I mean, I guess I'm talking to myself as much as I'm telling you.
13:55I guess the question is, are we going to listen?
14:02You okay?
14:03Yep.
14:04Just taking that in, your last comment there.
14:08I was just trying to lighten the mood.
14:10Oh, well, good job.
14:13I mean, my friend did mention the whole rebound revenge sex thing.
14:18Oh yeah?
14:19Was she a pro or maybe it wasn't a she?
14:23Pro or con?
14:24No, no, it was a pro.
14:25Oh.
14:26Yeah.
14:27But, you know, in my experience, it always seems like a good idea, but in the end it
14:32comes back to bite you.
14:34So I'm not really interested in making any more mistakes than I already have.
14:40Agreed.
14:41Good.
14:42Cool.
14:43You know, normally when I see you working, you're more fired up, buffling with ideas
14:49about Abbott Chance.
14:50Are you still in a funk about what's going on there?
14:54You know, I have been busting my ass trying to do right by this company and all I get
14:59for that is my mom ripping into me because she doesn't understand what I'm trying to
15:04do.
15:05Just do it.
15:07You know what you're doing.
15:08I mean, anyone would be crazy not to have complete faith in you to run Abbott Chancellor
15:13the way that it should be run.
15:17You're a long voice, Sally.
15:22Appreciate that.
15:23Cheers.
15:24Cheers.
15:25Yes.
15:27Cheers.
15:28Cheers.
15:29Yes.
15:30Both?
15:31Both.
15:32Why not?
15:38All right.
15:39Let's get this jacket on, dude.
15:42And we're going to keep eating pigs and we can maybe milk a cow and maybe collect eggs
15:47right out from under the chickens.
15:49No way.
15:50You guys are going to have the best time.
15:52I expect lots of pictures.
15:53Okay?
15:55It's a shame that you have to spend such a beautiful day inside.
15:58On duty calls.
15:59You are the boss, though, right?
16:00I bet you haven't left your laptop in hours.
16:04He hasn't.
16:05Which leads me to believe that you've earned yourself a break.
16:09What do you think?
16:10Yes.
16:11Yes.
16:12Yes.
16:13Come with us, Dad.
16:14Please.
16:17Let's do this.
16:18Yeah.
16:23Let's go.
16:24Well, this has been interesting.
16:29Definitely.
16:30Quite the unlikely lunch duo.
16:33Yeah.
16:34Turns out Audra and I have a few things in common.
16:37Is that so?
16:38That is so.
16:40Dinner soon?
16:41Yes.
16:42You bet.
16:43All right.
16:44Good to see you.
16:45You too.
16:49What was that about?
16:52Oh, just discussing job prospects.
16:55Must be in the air.
16:57I spoke to Devon about a position at Winters for you.
17:02You did what?
17:04What happened to you offering silent support, not trying to fix things?
17:09Did you not hear a word I said about wanting to stand on my own?
17:13Okay, hold on, Audra.
17:15No.
17:16You know, I can't believe that you would make me look like a charity case.
17:22I told you point blank that if you try to help me, this would be over.
17:25Congratulations.
17:26Audra, Audra.
17:27No, don't even try to talk yourself out of it.
17:30Let me lay out the facts.
17:32Hey, I meant every word I said the other day.
17:36Okay?
17:37I have enormous respect for your instincts and abilities.
17:42Someone with your savvy and guts would be a huge asset to Winters.
17:47That's why I recommended you.
17:51There's nothing charitable about that.
17:58Mr. Newman.
17:59Come on.
18:00Hey.
18:01Good to see you.
18:02How are you, my man?
18:03Good, how you doing?
18:04Are you looking forward to the wedding to my daughter?
18:07Yeah, yeah.
18:08I sure am.
18:11I gotta ask you.
18:12How do you, how do you do this and just act like everything's cool between us?
18:18Isn't it?
18:20You used my sister to get what you want and then you screwed her over.
18:22So, how do you figure it's cool?
18:29Oh, thank God.
18:31My old man is gone.
18:33I'm sorry.
18:36Did you tell Victor about Billy and me breaking up?
18:39Yes, I did.
18:42But it's not like he doesn't have eyes.
18:44You know, Billy and Sally seem to be hanging out all over town.
18:48They obviously have gotten close.
18:52And I know that kills you.
18:56Look, despite all the horrible things that have happened,
18:59after everything you and Sally have been through,
19:02after everything you have shared,
19:04her love for you runs deep.
19:07A bond like that does not just go away.
19:10Okay?
19:11From the very beginning, she always saw the good in you.
19:14Just because you hurt her does not mean she stops caring.
19:18Yeah, well, even if that is true,
19:22the more time that she spends with Billy, she won't feel that way.
19:25Why are you always so negative?
19:27It's reality, okay? I've accepted that.
19:31Sally and I are through.
19:33I'm not interested in going back.
19:35What about you? Are you still holding out hope that Billy's going to forgive you?
19:38I want him in my life.
19:40It's just very complicated.
19:44It's only complicated if you're holding on to something that is too broken to be fixed.
19:50Maybe it's time for you,
19:53for both of us,
19:55to move on.
19:58With each other?
20:02Is that what you really want?
20:09I am not the only one
20:12who thinks the future is ours if we want it.
20:15Connor feels it too.
20:18What's happening between me and you?
20:20And he wants to be a family again.
20:22We are a family.
20:24Our version.
20:26Chelsea, do you know how in awe I am of you?
20:30Adam, I think...
20:31No, you just let me finish.
20:34Okay, from the beginning,
20:36when Connor was diagnosed,
20:38you were completely present with him.
20:42Your love, your encouragement,
20:44it gave him the confidence to deal with his diagnosis.
20:48You fought for him.
20:50And yes, even when we butted heads,
20:52you made him stronger.
20:55You made me stronger.
20:59I know we have a really messy past,
21:03and I get why that could scare you,
21:05but I feel like these last few months have brought out the best parts of us.
21:10And I think we have a whole new foundation
21:13for a future that could be amazing.
21:17Who wouldn't want that?
21:21It makes me happy we've gotten close.
21:25It feels real.
21:27Solid.
21:29But this just all seems like you're trying to fill a void in your life.
21:34You were just talking about the good that Sally sees in me.
21:39I heard it in your voice, too.
21:40I know you can see it.
21:41I know you do.
21:43I think you should just be honest with yourself.
21:47Just take the leap
21:49and admit that your feelings are just as strong as mine.
21:55Just as much pain as it took to get here.
21:59Maybe this is how it was meant to be.
22:03Not just like Connor said.
22:05Just the three of us.
22:08You know what?
22:13I'm feeling much more inspired.
22:15So am I.
22:17But I do have some sketches I need to get done for a deadline,
22:21so I should go.
22:22Before you go, can you do that bar trick with coffee and napkin?
22:26Does that work?
22:29You are just going to have to wait and find out another time.
22:34But it does work better with whiskey.
22:41And you know,
22:43screw the doubters.
22:46You got this.
22:57Oh, Billy.
22:59What was that?
23:02Some little love fest?
23:04You're still here, Phyllis?
23:06Yes, I am still here.
23:08You don't have time for me?
23:10You don't have time for business?
23:12But you have time for a mutual pity party?
23:15That is none of your business.
23:17Oh, it's very much my business.
23:19Because...
23:21Billy.
23:23Get back together with Chelsea, please.
23:25You were doing so well.
23:27You really were.
23:29Stay even-keeled.
23:32Please spare us the agony of watching you
23:34dig yourself into a hole.
23:37Phyllis.
23:39You're dead wrong.
23:42Let's talk about this, all right?
23:44Let's please talk about it. I'd love to.
23:46So what's the problem, do you want?
23:48The problem is that you promised Lily a job
23:51that you had no intention of giving her.
23:54None of this is bad for you, okay?
23:56How do you figure?
23:58Well, let me explain it to you.
24:00I would like Lily to forget about the idea
24:02of running Aberchancellor.
24:06I would like her to join you
24:08at Winters.
24:10Work by your side.
24:12That's what your father would have wanted.
24:14And that is what I will try to talk her into.
24:16I hope
24:18you will help me do that.
24:24You move pretty fast.
24:26I don't want to be headhunted by that goat.
24:29Were you worried?
24:31No way. He was little.
24:33What was your favorite animal?
24:35Definitely the pig.
24:37Did you see how she cuddled up to me?
24:39She even wanted a belly up.
24:41From Dad, too.
24:43She was awfully cute.
24:45I have an idea.
24:47Yes?
24:49You know who else said I wanted a puppy?
24:51What do you think if we get a baby pig instead?
24:53Or a goat?
24:55Oh, I think it is the perfect time
24:58I will be up in a few minutes.
25:00Okay.
25:02I'm glad you came, Dad.
25:04It was awesome.
25:06I was going to say the exact same thing.
25:10You stink. Go take a bath.
25:14That's the best kid ever.
25:16I would have to agree with you.
25:18I was ready to die
25:20between him and that goat.
25:22You were very heroic.
25:25Looks like you
25:27brought home a souvenir.
25:29Oh, thanks.
25:33Harrison had the best time.
25:35So did I.
25:37You did it again.
25:41Did what?
25:43You got me out of my head.
25:45Made me smile, laugh.
25:47Forget about all the crap that's going on in my life.
25:51So, thank you.
25:55Sally and I
25:57are friends.
25:59We've been through a lot and I'm sure you can appreciate
26:01with everything you and your family are going through
26:03having a friend to lean on
26:05is a good thing.
26:07Yes, and it's just so hard right now.
26:09Daniel's going through hell.
26:11Lucy is inconsolable.
26:13And I would do anything
26:15anything in the world
26:17to take their pain away
26:19and
26:21do everything in my power to change
26:24but I am totally deemed powerless.
26:26I mean, I don't even know who to fight.
26:28I just have to sit back and pray.
26:30Pray for justice.
26:32I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
26:34It's okay. I can't even imagine what you
26:36and Daniel and Lucy are going through.
26:38I really can't.
26:40I know. We just promised that we would
26:42keep this professional
26:44and not let our personal lives
26:46interfere.
26:48No feelings though, okay?
26:50But let me just say that
26:52you and I, we're friends first.
26:54Just know that.
26:56Okay.
26:58Thank you for letting me vent.
27:00It's alright.
27:02Look, everything you and your family
27:04are going through, you'll get past this.
27:06Okay? You will heal.
27:10You know the best way to heal
27:12is to stay
27:14productive and
27:16fight a fight you know you can win.
27:18Okay? That's what I'm saying.
27:21Forget everything I've already said.
27:23Forget it.
27:25Forget about hiring me back
27:27or pretending to hire me
27:29or me being COO.
27:31Just let's focus on this.
27:33Alright?
27:35Making Abbott Chancellor
27:37a success.
27:39Getting Victor Newman
27:41out of Abbott Chancellor
27:43in any capacity
27:45and also with your mom,
27:47getting her to focus
27:49on her successes and not her stupid
27:51grudges.
27:53Unfortunately, I don't think
27:55my mother will buy that.
27:57I think we can convince
27:59her together.
28:03When we are celebrating
28:05a new milestone with Connor
28:07or when we're cheering him on at a soccer
28:09game or we're just
28:11hanging out, you can't tell me
28:13you haven't thought about it. About being
28:15a real family again.
28:17I've imagined what it might
28:19feel like. There you go.
28:21But I know
28:23in my heart it will always end
28:25in disaster. No, it wouldn't.
28:27Chelsea, we have been through
28:29the bad stuff. We've learned
28:31from the past and we have never
28:33been stronger than we are right now.
28:35But we're still us, Adam.
28:37We're still us.
28:39Come on.
28:41Look at our track
28:43record.
28:45All the feelings, all the
28:47good intentions, all the hopes
28:49for the future.
28:51We have been there
28:55and it always crumbles.
28:59And then what?
29:01Maybe you
29:03and I could survive that again but Connor couldn't
29:05and I would never do
29:07that to him again, ever.
29:09Our son will always come first.
29:11I would never risk
29:13his well-being unless I didn't truly
29:15believe that we could be a real family
29:17again.
29:25I do have feelings for you,
29:27Adam.
29:29You're the father
29:31of my son. How could I not?
29:33But the kind of love
29:35we had
29:37almost destroyed us.
29:39Thank God
29:41we've grown.
29:43Thank God we've become
29:45better people,
29:47worthy of
29:49finding love again.
29:51And maybe,
29:53maybe that will be with
29:55Billy and Sally.
29:57I don't know.
30:03But what I do know
30:05is
30:07it can't be with each other.
30:27If it makes you
30:29feel any better,
30:31Duvon turned down my pitch to
30:33hire you.
30:35Of course he did.
30:37Not that I wanted that job
30:39anyway.
30:41But this stops now. He promised
30:43me no more help.
30:45I will get what I want
30:47my way, on my terms.
30:49Understood?
30:51Don't suppose I could
30:53offer some advice?
30:55Don't suppose I can stop you?
30:57Speaking as a
30:59former backstabbing
31:01asshat,
31:03I had to learn some hard lessons.
31:05And then
31:07I had to learn to trust
31:09the people who cared for me
31:11and let them in.
31:13And lo and behold,
31:15my life started going really well.
31:19Are you getting to the advice part?
31:23Look,
31:27I just want you to get the
31:29same sense of happiness and
31:31freedom I found.
31:33And I'd love it if we could share it.
31:37But I also know who you are.
31:39So if you choose to fight,
31:41I'll support you.
31:43A hundred percent.
31:45Pretty smart of Ms. Martinez
31:47to bribe him with that bubble bath.
31:49Yeah, mountains of bubbles, all his favorite
31:51toys. Harrison's gonna be in that bath
31:53until dinner.
31:55Which means between me
31:57and Ms. Martinez,
31:59we can take it from here.
32:01You are officially off the clock.
32:03Okay, then.
32:05I will check in
32:07with you later.
32:09Hey, Claire,
32:11I hope you know how much you
32:13bribed my day.
32:15I had help.
32:17There was Harrison and the little pig.
32:21When she wanted that belly scratch,
32:23the smile on your face,
32:25I see what you must have looked like
32:27when you were Harrison's age.
32:29I'm glad we had today.
32:33I just...
32:35I hope I can protect Harrison from what's
32:37going on with his family.
32:39I...
32:41Yeah, I know it's none of my business,
32:43and I don't even know
32:45what to say or how to help,
32:47but that confrontation
32:49between Jack and Diane,
32:51I mean, I've never seen them so angry.
32:53That kind of rage in this house,
32:55I don't want to expose Harrison to it,
32:57but I am
32:59at a loss for a solution.
33:01And at this point, we might be past
33:03the point of no return.
33:09Just let me have one conversation,
33:11one short conversation with Jill,
33:13you know, I'm convincing.
33:19Oh.
33:23Just, um...
33:25Just an article from Newman Media
33:27about Abbott Chancellor, that's all.
33:35Hmm.
33:37Nothing.
33:39Okay, no, no, no, I'll do it,
33:41no, no, no, no, no, let me do it.
33:47Just says that, um...
33:49you're in over your head,
33:51um...
33:53that you bungled
33:55a deal with Odyssey 7,
33:57you can't
33:59hold on to staff,
34:01and that you
34:03basically have no true vision.
34:07Damn it.
34:11This is right from Victor.
34:13You know that.
34:15This is the very thing
34:17we have to fight.
34:25What the hell is this?
34:27Adam?
34:29Are you going after Billy
34:31because of me?
34:39Abbott's erratic
34:41management style has blown apart the C-suite
34:43before the company has even gotten
34:45off the ground?
34:47Well, hello, Shelly.
34:49Victor!
34:51Beautiful day,
34:53isn't it?
34:55It is, yeah.
34:57Except probably not for you.
35:01You just broke up with Adam.
35:03Hopefully for the last time.
35:07Well, after this hatchet job
35:09Adam did on Billy, I'm
35:11glad your son is out of my life.
35:19Hey.
35:21Hey.
35:23How you doing?
35:25Did you see this?
35:27What is it?
35:29It's a hit piece on Billy
35:31from Newman Media.
35:33Well, it looks like Victor isn't holding back
35:35when it comes to Abbott Chancellor.
35:37I thought you'd be happy to see
35:39a smear campaign on the partner
35:41that threw you out.
35:43I mean,
35:45I don't know whether to be thrilled
35:47or not.
35:49I'm gonna fight
35:51whether you support me or not.
35:53I wouldn't expect
35:55anything less.
35:57I didn't come
35:59this far to lose everything
36:01to some lightweight
36:03trust fund baby like
36:05Kyle Abbott.
36:07I will take the
36:09sod pack, and the best part
36:11will be taking
36:13Kyle down.
36:15You should probably
36:17leave before my moods
36:19force an otherwise great day.
36:21That's not possible.
36:23And I have no place to be.
36:29I do not know how we got here.
36:31Or maybe
36:33I do.
36:35And I just don't know how to handle it.
36:37My father has always
36:39been my rock, an example of
36:41everything I wanted to be.
36:43He's always
36:45protected me until...
36:47Until he didn't?
36:49I never
36:51saw it coming.
36:53That he and my mother could so easily
36:55push me out of Jabot and somehow
36:57turn me into the bad guy.
36:59I can't even imagine how much that must have hurt.
37:01And when my mother
37:03tells me I've failed
37:05them as a son, and my
37:07father tells me I am a disappointment,
37:09I try to act like I don't
37:11give a damn. Like I've
37:13moved on, but it hurts
37:15like hell.
37:17Claire, I thought
37:19if I could just
37:21get away from here,
37:23away from them, that maybe
37:25I could find a way to heal.
37:27But after last night,
37:31accusations,
37:33old wounds were ripped open.
37:35My mother was
37:37a gold digger who never loved me.
37:39I couldn't believe they turned
37:41on me, but to see them turn on each
37:43other, so
37:45hateful.
37:49My family,
37:51the love that we've
37:53always had.
37:55If it's not there, if it was always a lie,
37:57then what else is there?
38:09you
