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.
06:09Uh...
06:10Look.
06:14About last night?
06:15No, we don't-
06:16No, I do...
06:17I need to go there.
06:18I need to apologize for kissing you.
06:27You didn't kiss me.
06:30We kissed each other.
06:34call me crazy but I feel like we both needed it so you don't have to apologize okay I mean we know
06:44what it was it's just hurt feelings and residual anger and you know a few quite a few whiskey shots
06:51later and we kissed you know maybe we even both liked it but you know it wasn't for the right
06:59reasons so yeah I don't disagree with any of that but still um I just thank you for not
07:11being offended I mean it could have been worse I could have fallen straight into bed with you
07:20Javad she is a hell of a businesswoman she has great instincts okay she's passionate
07:28creative resilient she'd be an asset to any company do you think maybe you're a little
07:34biased to Audra and her passion she was smart enough to wrestle Glissade away from Tucker
07:41she lost it to Kyle Abbott right you have to know Kyle had a hand in getting her booted from Glissade
07:46yes I I didn't know that but it doesn't really matter either way because there's just no chance
07:53in hell I'm gonna hire Audra let me guess Nate told you Victor cut you out of some deal you were
08:03working on together my condolences you know I was really hoping to just enjoy my lunch in peace
08:11oh lunch that's right martini extra olives oh okay you're staying we're both out on our
08:22asses because of the great Victor Newman we have a lot to discuss
08:29sure all right so I heard that you're heading up Glissade with Kyle and then all of a sudden
08:36you were gone so how does Victor play into that well I already violated my NDA so I stopped now
08:45Victor is the mystery investor who helped me take Glissade away from Tucker
08:51I trusted him and as far as he can trust the man and then he fired me for no reason
09:00or maybe the reason is that you were dealing with Kyle and Victor and you were out of your league
09:06let me guess you got screwed over because you play into that whole
09:11Victor made me promises what you got in writing
09:17well our families go way back no paper where can you move yeah you know what you're right it was
09:26I mean Victor is a master of the game and I fell for it ironic isn't it even knowing who Victor is
09:35what he's capable of we still got played but I am definitely going to get what I deserve
09:48all right we'll pump the brakes pop we're just exchanging shin guards not wedding bands
09:57I'm gonna put these in the car thank you okay
10:00Victor it's always good to see you good to see you old Chelsea
10:04yeah you and I have had our ups and downs right that's putting it nicely
10:19that's putting it nicely yeah
10:24I've watched you become a remarkable woman
10:28and a great mother I know that Adam and Sally split up I also know that you and
10:37and pretty haven't ended things right so I just want to say it was my two cents worth
10:48Sally Spector was never right about it you was right for him
10:56that's all I'm going to say you and I stayed
11:00together
11:04that's it a hard pass without even thinking about it well I don't trust Adra so I'm certainly not
11:11going to hire her and listen if I'm being completely honest with you whatever you
11:17guys have going on with each other this relationship whatever you're calling it
11:20it's I really think you're setting yourself up for trouble
11:24huh listen cousin I don't need the judgment okay I am just giving you my opinion because
11:31I don't want to see you get hurt you know me well enough to know I can take care of myself
11:36you're absolutely right I do and I I don't mean to overstep and I certainly don't want this to be
11:42an issue with us so just know I'm grateful that we're working together
11:55and I'm just as grateful to be a part of this family slightest
12:00there's no place I'd rather be that's good to hear it's great to hear and we just have to
12:07convince Lily that this is where she needs to be
12:12you still think that's an option she seemed pretty adamant she had zero interest in joining
12:18us at Winters well I'm not gonna give up hope that she's gonna make the right decision
12:24I just have to get her to forget about battling Victor for Abbot Chancellor
12:30knowing how stubborn she is I don't see that happen
12:36Victor may think that he's won but I am not going to stop until I'm back on top at Chancellor
12:45the Winters and the Newmans how'd you put it go way back make daddy paved your way how hard can it be
12:56do you even know what it's like to have to claw and scrape your way into a job you want
13:03a life you want I have worked very hard to get to where I am
13:09they proving it I maneuvered Tucker McCall out of his own company and he never saw it coming no no
13:17no you stole it so I guess you missed the ethics course during your MBA
13:24well some of us don't have the luxury of playing by the rules Lily
13:28instead of cheating why don't you trust yourself trust your gut don't listen to other people
13:34for the haters who underestimate you and stop talking about what you want and take what's yours
13:42weird that you're practically cheerleading me to succeed
13:48I mean I guess I'm talking to myself as much as I'm telling you I guess the question is
13:55I guess the question is are we gonna listen
14:02you okay yeah just taking taking that in your last comment there I was just trying to lighten
14:09the mood oh well good job thank you I mean my friend did mention the whole rebound revenge sex
14:17thing oh yeah is she a pro or maybe it wasn't a she pro or con no no it was a pro oh yeah
14:27but you know in my experience it always seems like a good idea but in the end it comes back to
14:33bite you so I'm not really interested in making any more mistakes than I already have agreed good
14:42cool you know normally when I see you working you're more fired up
14:48buffling with ideas about Abbott Chance are 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 for that is
15:00my mom ripping into me because she doesn't understand what I'm trying to do just do it
15:05you know what you're doing I mean anyone would be crazy not to have complete faith in you to
15:12run Abbott Chancellor the way that it should be run you're a long voice Sally
15:21thank you appreciate that
15:24cheers cheers yes
15:38all right let's get this jacket on dude
15:42and we're going to be eating pigs and we can maybe milk a cow and maybe collect eggs right
15:47out from under the chickens no way you guys are gonna have the best time I expect lots of pictures
15:53okay it's a shame that you have to spend such a beautiful day inside I'm doing course you are
15:59the boss though right I bet you haven't left your laptop in hours he hasn't which leads me to believe
16:07that you've earned yourself a break what do you think yes yes yes come with us dad please
16:17let's do this
16:18yes
16:22let's go
16:26well this has been interesting definitely quite the unlikely lunch duo yeah turns out Audrey and
16:36I have a few things in common is that so that is so dinner soon yes you bet all right good to see
16:44you you too what was that about oh just discussing job prospects must be in the air
16:57I uh spoke to Devon about a position at Winters for you you did what what happened to you offering
17:07silent support not trying to fix things did you not hear a word I said about wanting to stand on
17:13my own okay hold on Audrey no you know I can't believe that you would make me look like a charity
17:21case I told you point blank that if you try to help me this would be over congratulations
17:26Audrey no don't even try to talk yourself out of it let me lay out the facts hey I meant every word
17:34I said the other day okay I have enormous respect for your instincts and abilities
17:42someone with your savvy and guts would be a huge asset to Winters
17:46that's why I recommended you there's nothing charitable about that
17:57Mr. Newman come on hey good to see you how are you man good hey Tom are you looking
18:04forward to the wedding to my daughter yeah yeah I sure am I gotta ask you how do you
18:13how do you do this and just act like everything's cool between us
18:18isn't it you used my sister to get what you want and then you screwed her over
18:22so how do you figure it's cool
18:24oh thank god my old man is gone I'm sorry did you tell Victor about Billy and me breaking up
18:39yes I did but it's not like he doesn't have eyes
18:44no Billy and Sally seem to be hanging out all over town well they obviously have gotten close
18:50and I know that kills you
18:55look despite all the horrible things that have happened after everything you and Sally have been
19:00through after everything you have shared her love for you runs deep a bond like that does not just
19:07go away okay from the very beginning she always saw the good in you just because you hurt her
19:14just because you hurt her does not mean she stops caring yeah well even if that is true
19:22the more time that she spends with Billy she won't feel that way why are you always so
19:27negative it's reality okay I've accepted that Sally and I are through I'm not interested in
19:35going back what about you are you still holding out hope that Billy's gonna forgive you I want
19:39him in my life it's just very complicated it's only complicated if you're holding on to something
19:46that is too broken to be fixed maybe it's time for you for both of us to move on with each other
19:59is that what you really want
20:09I am not the only one who thinks the future is ours if we want it Connor feels it too
20:17what's happening between me and you and he wants to be a family again we are a family our version
20:24of Chelsea do you know how in awe I am of you I don't know I think no you just let me finish
20:33okay from the beginning when Connor was diagnosed you were completely present with him
20:41your love your encouragement it gave him the confidence to deal with his diagnosis
20:47you fought for him and yes even when we butted heads you made him stronger you made me stronger
20:59I know we have a really messy past and I get why that could scare you but I feel like these last
21:05few months have brought out the best parts of us and I think we have a whole new foundation for a
21:13future that could be amazing who wouldn't want that
21:21it makes me happy we've gotten close it feels real solid
21:29but this just all seems like you're trying to fill a void in your life
21:34what you were just talking about the good that Sally sees in me
21:38I heard it in your voice too I know you can see it I know you do
21:43I think you should just be honest with yourself
21:46just take the leap and admit that your feelings are just as strong as mine
21:54just as much pain as it took to get here maybe this is how it was meant to be
22:00how it was meant to be not just like Connor said just the three of us
22:13you know what I'm feeling much more inspired so am I but I do have some sketches I need to
22:20get done for a deadline so I should go before you go can you do that bar trick with coffee
22:26does that that work you are just gonna have to wait and find out another time
22:35but it does work better with whiskey
22:42and you know screw the doubters you got this
22:56oh Billy what was that some little love fest you're still here Phyllis oh yes I am still here
23:08you don't have time for me you don't have time for business but you have time for a
23:13mutual pity party that is none of your business oh oh it's very much my business because
23:20oh Billy get back together with Chelsea please you were doing so well you really were
23:28stay even keeled please please spare us the agony of watching you dig yourself into a hole
23:37Phyllis you're dead wrong let's talk about this all right let's please talk about it I'd love to
23:45so what's the problem do you want the problem is that you promised Lily a job that you had no
23:51intention of giving her none of this is bad okay how do you figure well let me explain it to you
23:59I would like Lily to forget about the idea of running our chancellor
24:07I would like her to join you at Winters work by your side that's what your father would have
24:13wanted and that is what I will try to talk her into I hope you will help me do that
24:24you move pretty fast I don't want to be headbutted by that goat
24:29were you worried no way he was little what was your favorite animal definitely the pit did you
24:36see how she cuddled up to me she even wanted a belly up from dad too she was awfully cute
24:42I have an idea yes you know who upset I wanted a puppy what do you think if we get a baby pig
24:49instead or a goat oh I think it is the perfect time for someone to go take a bath why don't
24:56you run upstairs and I will be up in a few minutes okay I'm glad you came dad it was awesome
25:04oh I was gonna say the exact same thing no whoa you stink go take a bath
25:14it's the best kid ever I would have to agree with you
25:17oh I was ready to dive in between him and that goat you were very heroic
25:24oh looks like you brought home a souvenir oh thanks
25:30Harrison had the best time so did I you did it again did what you got me out of my head
25:43made me smile laugh forget about all the crap that's going on in my life so thank you
25:50so thank you
25:57Sally and I are friends we've been through a lot and I'm sure you can appreciate with everything
26:01you and your family are going through having a friend to lean on is a good thing yes and it's
26:06just so hard right now Daniel is going through hell Lucy is inconsolable and I would do anything
26:15in the world to take their pain away and do everything in my power to change what's going
26:23on with them but I am totally deemed powerless I mean I don't even know who to fight I just have
26:28to sit back and pray pray for justice I'm sorry I'm sorry it's okay I can't even imagine what you
26:36and Daniel and Lucy are going through I really can't I know we we just we promised that we would
26:41keep this professional and not let our personal lives interfere no feeling zone okay but let me
26:51just say that you and I were we're friends first just know that okay thank you for letting me vent
27:01it's all right look everything you and your family are going through
27:05you'll get past this okay you will heal
27:08you know the best way to heal is to stay productive and fight a fight you know you can
27:16win okay that's what I'm saying okay forget everything I've already said forget it forget
27:22about hiring me back or pretending to hire me or me being COO just let's focus on this all right
27:31all right making Abbott Chancellor a success getting Victor Newman out of Abbott Chancellor
27:42in any capacity and also with your mom getting her to focus on the successes and not her stupid
27:51grudges unfortunately I don't think my mother will buy that no no I think we can convince her
27:59together when we are celebrating a new milestone with Connor or when we're cheering him on at a
28:09soccer game or we're just hanging out you can't tell me you haven't thought about it about being
28:15a real family again maybe I've imagined what it might feel like but I there you go but I know
28:23in my heart it will always end in disaster no it wouldn't Chelsea we have been through the bad
28:29stuff we've learned from the past and we have never been stronger than we are right now but
28:35we're still us Adam we're still us come on look at our track record all the feelings all the
28:48good intentions all the hopes for the future we have been there
28:55and it always crumbles
29:00and then what maybe you and I could survive that again but Connor couldn't
29:06and I would never do that to him again ever our son will always come first I would never risk his
29:13well-being unless I didn't truly believe that we could be a real family again
29:26I do have feelings for you Adam you're the father of my son how could I not
29:34but the kind of love we had
29:38almost destroyed us
29:39thank God we've grown thank God we've become better people
29:46worthy of finding love again and maybe maybe that will be with Billy and Sally I I don't know
30:01but what I do know
30:03is it can't be with each other
30:25if it makes you feel any better
30:27if it makes you feel any better
30:31Duvon turned down my pitch to hire
30:35of course he did not that I wanted that job anyway
30:40but this stops now he promised me no more help I will get what I want my way on my terms
30:48understood don't suppose I could offer some advice don't suppose I can't
30:57stop you speaking as a former backstabbing asshat I had to learn some hard lessons
31:07and then I had to learn to trust the people who cared for me
31:11and let them in and lo and behold my life started going really well
31:19are you getting to the advice part
31:22luck
31:26I just want you to get the same sense of happiness and freedom I found and I'd love it if we could
31:32share it but I also know who you are so if you choose to fight I'll support you 100%
31:44pretty smart of Mr. Martinez to bribe him with that bubble bath
31:46yeah mountains of bubbles all his favorite toys Harrison's going to be in that bath until dinner
31:52which means between me and Martinez we can take it from here you are officially off the clock
32:01okay then I will check in with you later hey Claire
32:09you know how much you bribed my day I had helped
32:14I had helped there was Harrison and the little pig
32:20when she wanted that belly scratch smile on your face I could see what you must have looked like
32:26when you were Harrison's age I'm glad we had today I just I hope I can protect Harrison from
32:36what's going on with this family I yeah I know it's none of my business and I don't even know
32:45what to say or how to help but that confrontation between Jack and Diane I mean I've never seen them
32:52so angry that kind of rage in this house I don't want to expose Harrison to it but I am
32:59at a loss for a solution and at this point we might be past the point of no return
33:06you
33:09just let me have one conversation one short conversation with Jill you know I'm convincing
33:20oh
33:23oh what just um just an article from Newman Media about Abbott Chancellor that's all
33:29nothing okay I'll just look it up myself okay no no no I'll do it no no no no no let me do it
33:38just says that um you're in over your head um that you bungled a deal with Odyssey 7
33:48you can't do it you're in over your head you're in over your head
33:53that you bungled a deal with Odyssey 7 you can't hold on to staff
34:02that you basically have no true vision
34:08damn it
34:11this is right from Victor you know that this is the very thing we have to fight
34:22thank you
34:26what the hell is this Adam
34:30are you going after Billy because of me
34:39Abbott's erratic management style has blown apart the
34:43C-suite before the company has even gotten off the ground
34:47well hello Charlie
34:48hello Charlie
34:50Victor beautiful day isn't it it is yeah except probably not for you
35:01you just broke up with Adam hopefully for the last time
35:07well after this hatchet job Adam did on Billy I'm glad your son is out of my life
35:18hey hey did you see this what is it it's a hit piece on Billy from human media
35:31well it looks like Victor isn't holding back when it comes to Abbott Chancellor
35:36I thought you'd be happy to see a smear campaign on the partner that threw you out
35:42I mean I don't know whether to be thrilled or pissed off
35:48but I'm gonna fight whether you support me or not I wouldn't expect anything less
35:58I didn't come this far to lose everything to some lightweight trust fund baby like Kyle Abbott
36:08I will take the sod pack and the best part will be taking Kyle down
36:14you should probably leave before my moods foils an otherwise great day
36:22that's not possible and I have no place to be
36:30I do not know how we got here or maybe I do and I just don't know how to handle it
36:37my father has always been my rock an example of everything I wanted to be
36:44he's always protected me until until he didn't
36:51I never saw it coming that he and my mother could so easily push me out of
36:56jabot and somehow turn me into the bad guy I can't even imagine how much that must have hurt
37:02you know when my mother tells me I've failed them as a son and my father tells me I am a
37:08disappointment I try to act like I don't give a damn like I've moved on but it hurts like hell
37:18Claire I thought if I could just get away from here away from them that maybe I could find a way
37:25to heal but after last night accusations old wounds were ripped open my mother was a gold
37:38digger who never loved me I couldn't believe they turned on me but to see them turn on each other
37:44is so hateful
37:49my family the love that we have always had if it's not there if it was always a lie then
37:58what else is there
