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...
06:10Look...
06:13About last night...
06:14No, we don't need to go there.
06:16No, I do.
06:17I need to go there.
06:18I need to apologize for kissing you.
06:26You didn't kiss me.
06:28We kissed each other.
06:31And call me crazy, but I feel like we both needed it.
06:36needed it so you don't have to apologize okay i mean we know what it was it's just hurt feelings
06:45and residual anger and you know a few quite a few whiskey shots later and we kissed
06:55you know maybe we even both liked it but you know it wasn't for the right reasons so
07:01yeah i don't disagree with any of that but still um i just thank you for not being offended
07:13i 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 adra 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
07:53hell i'm gonna hire andre 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
08:19we're both out on our asses because of the great victor newman we have a lot to discuss
08:28sure all right so i heard that you're heading up glissade with kyle and then all of a sudden you
08:35were gone so how does victor play into that well i already violated my nta so i stopped now
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
09:01or maybe the reason is that you were dealing with kyle and victor and you were out of your league
09:06oh let me guess you got screwed over because you play into that whole
09:13too smart to fail thing victor made me promises what you got in writing
09:21well our families go way back no paper working move yeah you know what you're right it was
09:29i mean victor is a master of the game and i fell for it ironic isn't it even knowing
09:38who victor is what he's capable of we still got played
09:46but i am definitely gonna get what i deserve
09:49first all right we'll pump the brakes pop we're just exchanging shin guards not wedding bands
10:02i'm gonna put these in the car thank you okay victor it's always good to see you
10:08good to see you old chelsea yeah
10:12you and i have had our ups and downs right that's putting it nicely
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
10:38pretty haven't ended things right so i just want to say what's my two cents worth
10:48sally specter was never right
10:52you was right for him that's all i'm gonna say you and i stayed
10:59that's it a hard pass without even thinking about it well i don't trust adra so i'm certainly not
11:07gonna hire her and listen if i'm being completely honest with you whatever you guys have going on
11:14with each other this relationship whatever you're calling it it's i really think you're setting
11:18yourself up for trouble listen cousin i don't need the judgment okay i don't need the judgment
11:27i don't need the judgment okay i am just giving you my opinion because i don't want to see you
11:32get hurt you know me well enough to know i can take care of myself you're absolutely right i do
11:38and i i don't mean to overstep and i certainly don't want this to be an issue with us
11:43so just know i'm grateful that we're working together
11:48and i'm just as grateful to be a part of this family slightest there's no place i'd rather be
12:02that's good to hear it's great to hear and we just have to convince lily that
12:08this is where she needs to be you still think that's an option
12:14and she seemed pretty adamant she had zero interest in joining us at winters
12:19well i'm not gonna give up hope that she's gonna make the right decision
12:24we just have to get her to forget about battling victor for rabbit chancellor
12:30knowing how stubborn she is i don't see that happening
12:33you
12:38victor may think that he's one but i am not gonna stop until i'm back on top at chancellor
12:46the winters and the newmans how'd you put it
12:50go way back make daddy paved your way how hard can it be
12:55do you even know what it's like to have to claw and scrape your way into a job you want
13:04a life you want i have worked very hard to get to where i am
13:10they proving it i maneuvered tugger mccall out of his own company and he never saw it coming
13:16no no no you stole it so i guess you missed the ethics course during your mba
13:22well some of us don't have the luxury of playing by the rules lily instead of cheating why don't
13:28you trust yourself trust your gut don't listen to other people for the haters who underestimate you
13:35and stop talking about what you want and take what's yours
13:41weird that you're practically cheerleading me to succeed
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 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
14:45you know normally when i see you working you're more fired up
14:48buffling with ideas about abbott chancer 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
15:07you 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 lone voice sally
15:21thank you appreciate that
15:25cheers cheers yes
15:38all right let's get this jacket on dude and we're gonna keep eating pigs and we can maybe milk a cow
15:45and maybe collect eggs right out from under the chickens no way you guys are gonna have the best
15:51time i expect lots of pictures okay it's a shame that you have to spend such a beautiful day inside
15:57yeah i'm doing calls you are the boss though right i bet you haven't left your laptop in hours
16:04he hasn't which leads me to believe that you've earned yourself a break
16:09what do you think yes yes yes come with us dad please
16:17let's do this
16:22let's go
16:26well this has been interesting definitely quite the unlikely lunch duo
16:34yeah turns out audra and i have a few things in common is that so that is so
16:41dinner soon yes you bet all right good to see you you too
16:50what 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
17:01you did what what happened to you offering silent support not trying to fix things
17:10did you not hear a word i said about wanting to stand on my own okay hold on answer no you know
17:18i can't believe that you would make me look like a charity case i
17:21told you point blank that if you try to help me this would be over congratulations
17:26audra no don't even try to talk yourself out of it let me lay out the facts hey i meant every
17:34word i said the other day okay i have enormous respect for your instincts and abilities someone
17:42with your savvy and guts would be a huge asset to winters that's why i recommended you there's
17:50nothing charitable about that mr newman come on hey i didn't see you how are you a man
18:02good how you doing are you looking forward to the wedding to my daughter yeah yeah i sure am
18:10i gotta ask you how do you how 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
18:29oh 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 no billy and sally seem to be hanging out
18:46all over town they obviously have gotten close and i know that kills you
18:56look despite all the horrible things that have happened after everything you and sally have been
19:01through after everything you have shared her love for you runs deep a bond like that does not just
19:09go away okay from the very beginning she always saw the good in you just because you hurt her
19:15does not mean she stops caring yeah well even if that is true more time that she spends with
19:23billy she won't feel that way why are you always so negative it's reality okay i've accepted that
19:31sally and i are through i'm not interested in going back what about you are you still holding
19:37out hope that billy's gonna forgive you i want him in my life it's just very complicated it's
19:44only complicated if you're holding on to something that is too broken to be fixed
19:50maybe it's time for you for both of us to move on with each other
20:02is that what you really want
20:03i 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
20:26chelsea do you know how in awe i am of you adam 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
20:48you fought for him and yes even when we butted heads you made him stronger you made me stronger
20:58i 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
21:11for a future that could be amazing who wouldn't want that
21:16who 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
21:39i 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
21:47just take the leap and admit that your feelings are just as strong as mine
21:55just as much pain as it took to get here maybe this is how it was meant to be
22:03not just like connor said just the three of us
22:13you know what i'm feeling much more inspired so am i but i i do have some sketches i need
22:20to get done for a deadline so i should go before you go can you do that
22:24bar trick with coffee and napkin does that that work
22:30you are just gonna have to wait and find out another time
22:35but it does work better with whiskey
22:37and you know screw the doubters you got this
22:58oh billy what was that some little love fest you're still here phyllis oh yes
23:06i am still here but you don't have time for me you don't have time for business
23:12but you have time for a mutual pity party that is none of your business
23:16oh oh it's very much my business because
23:21billy 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
23:51no intention of giving her no 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 wanted
24:14and that is what i will try to talk her into i hope you will help me do that
24:20you 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
24:35did you see how she cuddled up to me she even wanted a belly up from dad too she was awfully
24:41cute i have an idea yes you know who upset i wanted a puppy what do you think of we get a
24:49baby pig instead or a goat oh i think it is the perfect time for someone to go take a bath
24:55why don't you run upstairs and i will be up in a few minutes okay
25:01i'm glad you came dad it was awesome oh i was gonna say the exact same thing
25:09oh you stink go take a bath
25:12it's the best kid ever i would have to agree with you oh i was ready to
25:19dive in between him and that goat you were very heroic
25:24oh looks like you brought home a souvenir oh thanks
25:31harrison had the best time so did i did it again did what he got me out of my head
25:41made me smile laugh forget about all the crap that's going on in my life so thank you
25:54sally and i are friends we've been through a lot and i'm sure you've been through a lot
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's going through hell lucy is inconsolable and i would do anything
26:15anything in the world to take their pain away and do everything in my power to change what's
26:23going on with them but i am totally deemed powerless i mean i don't even know who to fight
26:28i just have to sit back and pray pray for justice i'm sorry i'm sorry it's okay i can't even imagine
26:35what you and daniel unless you're going through i really can't i know we we just we promised that
26:41we would keep this professional and not let our personal lives interfere no feeling zone okay
26:50but let me just say that you and i were we're friends first just know that okay
26:58thank you for letting me vent it's all right
27:03look everything you and your family are going through you'll get past this okay you will heal
27:11you know the best way to heal is to stay productive and fight a fight you know you can win
27:19okay that's what i'm saying okay forget everything i've already said forget it
27:23forget about hiring me back or pretending to hire me or me being coo just let's focus on this
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 together
28:03when we are celebrating a new milestone with connor or when we're cheering him on in 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
28:22i know in my heart it will always end in disaster no it wouldn't chelsea we have been through the
28:29bad stuff 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 good
28:48intentions all the hopes for the future we have been there and it always crumbles
28:58and then what maybe you and i could survive that again but connor couldn't
29:03and i would never do that to him again ever our son will always come first i would never
29:10risk his well-being unless i didn't truly believe that we could be a real family again
29:16i do have feelings for you adam you're the father of my son how could i not
29:25but the kind of love we had almost destroyed us
29:33thank god we've grown
29:34worthy of finding love again and maybe maybe that will be with billy and sally i i don't know
29:49but what i do know is that i will always love you and i will always be there for you
29:55billy and sally i i don't know
30:04but what i do know
30:08is it can't be with each other
30:25so if it makes you feel any better devon turned down my pitch to hire
30:36of course he did not that i wanted that job anyway but this stops now he promised me
30:44no more help i will get what i want my way on my terms understood
30:51don't suppose i could offer some advice don't suppose i can stop you speaking as a former
30:59backstabbing asshat i had to learn some hard lessons and then i had to learn to trust the
31:08people who cared for me and let them in and lo and behold my life started going really well
31:16or are you getting to the advice part
31:21luck
31:24i just want you to get the same sense of happiness and freedom i found and i'd love it if we could
31:31share it but i also know who you are so if you choose to fight i'll support you 100 percent
31:41i'll support you 100 pretty smart mr martinez to bribe him with that bubble bath
31:49yeah mountains of bubbles all his favorite toys harrison's gonna be in that bath until dinner
31:55which means between me and martinez we can take it from here you are officially off the clock
32:03okay then i will check in with you later hey claire
32:12i hope you know how much you brighten my day i had help there was harrison and the little pig
32:21when she wanted that belly scratch a smile on your face i could see what you must have
32:26looked like when you were here since age i'm glad we had today
32:33i just i hope i can protect harrison from what's going on with this family
32:39i yeah i know it's none of my business and i don't even know what to say or how to help
32:47but that confrontation between jack and diane i mean i've never seen them so angry yeah that
32:53kind 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
33:09just let me have one conversation one short conversation with jill you know i'm convincing
33:15oh
33:23oh what just um just an article from newman media about abbott chancellor that's all
33:31what'd it say
33:35jillis hmm nothing okay i'll just look it up myself okay no no no i i'll do it no no no no
33:42let me do it
33:47just says that um you're in over your head um that you bungled a deal with odyssey 7
33:58you can't hold on to staff that you basically have no true vision
34:08damn it
34:09this 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
34:39so abbott's erratic management style has blown apart the sea sweep before the company has even
34:44gotten off the ground well hello sally
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
35:05what well after this hatchet job adam did on billy i'm glad your son is out of my life
35:22hey hey did you see this what is it it's a hit piece on billy from newman media
35:30well it looks like victory 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
35:41i mean i don't know whether to be thrilled or pissed off
35:49i'm gonna fight whether you support me or not i wouldn't expect anything less
35:56i didn't come this far to lose everything to some lightweight trust fund baby like kyle abbott
36:07i will take the sod pack and the best part will be taking kyle down
36:15you should probably leave before my moods force an otherwise great day that's not possible and
36:23and i have no place to be
36:30i do not know how we got here or maybe i do i just don't know how to handle it
36:38my 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 jibo and somehow
36:57turn me into the bad guy i can't even imagine how much that must have hurt you know when my mother
37:04tells me i've failed them as a son and my father tells me i am a disappointment i try to
37:10act 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
37:25find a way to heal but after last night i accusations old wounds were ripped open
37:35and my mother was a gold digger who never loved me i couldn't believe they turned on me but to
37:42see them turn on each other so hateful my family the love that we have always had
37:54if it's not there if it was always a lie then what else is there
