00:00oh I am glad you're back look he's here hello Jack I am so happy to see you
00:11thank you for coming oh well New York is just gonna have to do without me for a while
00:20your timing is perfect just we're just gonna have dinner in our newly redecorated dining room
00:25oh I'm sorry right off the bat I'm gonna have to ask for a rain check I'm on my way to meet Amy
00:30Lewis at Society in a little while oh how is she doing she's in the thick of it I there is
00:36absolutely nothing worse than losing a child I'm trying to be there for her as best I can
00:42oh please tell her again how sorry we are I will I had dinner with her right before I left for New
00:48York and I promised her that we would do that again as soon as I got back I'm sure she's very
00:52grateful for your support sadly you and I both know what this kind of loss could do to a person
00:59and add to it that Damien was murdered oh this is just awful it is a huge tragedy I'm sure Amy
01:07wishes he had never gone to Nice or ever met anyone named Aristotle Dumas and that's another thing I'm
01:14so surprised by this Kane Kane turned out to be Dumas with all the build-up and the mystery just
01:22like I don't want any books I just can't believe it the man I knew him to be would never do something
01:28like this he would never go somewhere and create a new identity and deceive his family and friends how
01:36well did you know Kane I've known him for years through Lily and I'm the godmother of their children
01:43and then he and I developed a very close friendship I want to say six six years ago ish um right before
01:51he left town I didn't realize it's really hard for me to wrap my mind around this that he is somehow
01:57involved in the deaths of both Amy's son my poor chance Kane may not be a cold-blooded killer but he
02:04is a very different person than you once knew very different than any of us knew apparently
02:11you can't just blow me off like this Kane I deserve more than a curt phone call so you tell me right
02:19now why am I out there are too many variables that play the plan we discussed can't move forward
02:24I'm sorry variables is that is that a translation for conflict because that doesn't track with me
02:30because Phyllis is sitting here and she brings chaos everywhere she goes I'll explain to you why
02:36I am included because uh I'm not a mess I see Kane's vision and I don't have a girlfriend you know
02:44stuck to me like glue sabotaging the deal okay Sally has nothing to do with this well she doesn't
02:49why is Michael here Kane is this my replacement you know he's been Victor's legal henchman for
02:55decades you want him on the team still in the room go home Billy focus on calming Sally down you want
03:03to help that should be your plan again leave Sally out of this she's got nothing to do with you care
03:07about her and fix it don't let her slip away over a business deal over a business deal Kane this is a
03:15whole hell of a lot more than a business deal okay this is very personal to me I lost Abbott
03:20Communications I lost Chancellor I got nothing left so you owe me brother
03:45Daniel hey hey nice to see you even when you're on the shot and I tried to melt down he was
04:15without your guitar yeah where's aria oh i thought you knew lucy's babysitting her
04:22right yeah i forgot i had some errands to run so she agreed to help me out
04:29she's a good kid well aria loves her
04:33are you okay you seem a bit off you got a second i do
04:42mariah reached out to me she wanted to talk
04:50about what about you and us
04:59i do remember when you and kane were close ashley and i talked about how much time you two were
05:04spending together and he was kind of an inspiration for one of your books right
05:09actually yes he was kind of an inspiration who your muse i think maybe so uh he and i did get
05:19very close after his divorce was final with lily i think kane just really needed a friend
05:26at one point he decided that what we had he wanted it to be a little bit more and i knew that that
05:34wasn't gonna work his life was upside down and i knew it wouldn't be fair to either one of us so i
05:40told him we were meant to just be friends to my thinking no one is worthy of you so did you and kane
05:49uh stay in contact after that no after i turned him down our relationship sort of dissolved and he
05:56left town we haven't spoken since if we could set chain aside for a minute i want to talk about you
06:02how were you especially after everything you've been through i am good i am working with this
06:10fabulous therapist in new york and she's really helping me process everything that happened and
06:15and she's helping me realize it wasn't my fault i was lied to and manipulated by a sociopath
06:24and it doesn't make me weak or small i am a good person and i have a beautiful life
06:33amen to that tracy you are a good person and since you and kane were so close i mean
06:41how do you feel about everything he's done well as far as kane is concerned i have no ill will toward him
06:48in fact the attention was very flattering and if i'm honest i put a really good book out of it one
06:56of your more successful books you seem to remember it was kane was trying so hard to get some balance
07:03back in his life i don't fault him for that but everything he has done since i'm absolutely shocked
07:11to hear this oh and you haven't heard the latest jack i'm so sorry i i forgot to ask i hope you were
07:18able to connect with billy billy what's going on with billy uh billy is enamored with the idea of using
07:24kane or kane using him to reclaim chancellor oh jack no yes i did see billy trying to talk some sense into
07:33him and it did not go well i mean look at you billy you're so pissed off you can't even see straight
07:41there you go there's something we agree on see this is the problem it's too personal for you i need
07:46someone level-headed level-headed phyllis is still involved are you kidding me you're too emotionally
07:52involved how else do you want me to react when you pull the rug out from under me i thought you
07:57could handle it i was wrong i'm sorry you're wrong a lot you're wrong here you're wrong here you're
08:01you're wrong a lot go home another dig at my expense go home make things right with sally
08:07before it's too late this is getting weird okay why do you care so much about me and sally i don't
08:12do whatever you want i just learned the hard way that it's nearly impossible to win someone back that
08:16you care about after you pushed them away i was trying to share a lesson with you save you some
08:21pain oh that's very sweet of you but that's your life and i will never be as much of a screw-up
08:26as you are think whatever you want okay this is your team kane well congratulations okay but don't
08:33come crawling back to me when all of this blows up in your face okay i think we're done here yeah
08:38we're done here hey you should remember that i know a whole hell of a lot more about you now
08:47okay that doesn't make any sense why did she reach out to you and not me is that a good thing
09:06or a bad thing i mean i didn't even know you guys talked we don't really talk i mean we're not that
09:11close um she did say she knew that we had been spending a lot more time together because of the
09:19guitar lessons okay yeah of course she knew that and she felt like we had gotten closer well yeah
09:26mariah's perceptive even with everything that's going on with her she's right we have gotten closer
09:33she asked me to look after you and aria look after us what does that mean i'm not entirely sure
09:40um but it sounded like mariah thought maybe she wouldn't be coming back to you and aria
09:53mariah said that she was leaving us for good not those exact words no but
10:00it sounded like it was a possibility you know from the way she was talking
10:05okay okay okay i guess that makes sense
10:14the last time i spoke to her is when she came by when we were practicing in the park
10:21that's the last time you talked to her she said that she was going to boston to get further help
10:27did you ever um did you ever find out what it was that she'd been hiding from you
10:39i can trust you right yeah i mean of course you can trust me
10:47if there's something that you don't feel comfortable telling me you don't have to
10:50do
10:55where i told me she tried to kill someone
11:00okay
11:03how'd you respond
11:06well i was so shocked i didn't get a chance to get my bearings because she just bolted
11:12i'm sorry i knew she was leaving soon she said that but i just i did not think she would
11:22leave without saying goodbye maybe she felt like she couldn't so she just drops this bomb on me and
11:29disappears
11:32i mean how could she say that she tried to kill a human being
11:37i mean what the hell happened to make her believe that do you think it could be true
11:46do you really think where i could have tried to kill someone
11:52this needs to be taken care of immediately you just need to let billy cool off really you think a
11:57a few moments of of deep breathing is going to settle billy down probably not your services are
12:02not required i need you to fix this happy to uh but first we need to finish our discussion
12:07clarify my position this whole fine house this takes precedence billy needs to be stopped
12:12you know when he gets like this he goes all in and after he comes out of his fog um he'll realize
12:18he had gambled away the entire yacht he won't stop he's cannon fire pointed in our direction and
12:25that's when billy's is most dangerous you can't blame him for being a little upset no i expected him
12:31to lash out but now he needs to be contained we can't let him undermine our goals you still owe me some
12:36clarity after this is resolved uh well do what i can make it go away michael okay
12:49you did the right thing getting rid of billy
12:53well it wasn't easy he needed to be cut loose there's something else i need to understand
12:58why does it seem like there's still a rift between you and michael
13:05why would billy's focus be on chancellor what happened to abbott communications a long story short
13:13billy undermined it oh everything has fallen apart what how he could not get chancellor out of his head one
13:21day he wanted to start a new company and build it all his own the next he made sally ceo of the company
13:29sally well at least she's capable it was all to buy him time to get chancellor back and then kane
13:38undermined the whole avid communications launch billy lied to me about that i went to confront him he
13:44worked me into a corner i was about to pull my financing and billy told me to take my financing and go
13:54so so why align himself with kane kane unless kane was offering him something specific to get
14:03chancellor back well not exactly fair and square it wasn't a straightforward purchase from victor
14:09are you saying something illegal billy hasn't done anything yet but he's on the verge he's about to
14:15make a giant mistake one that could send him to prison oh no jack we've got to do something no i've
14:22tried victoria has tried oh honey this is billy gambling again this is he's back at the poker table
14:31back at a place where there's very little hope for our brother who we love so dearly
14:40i get a scotch neat please make it a double please
15:02i can't believe it how could billy not be swayed by johnny and katie's own mother asking him to step
15:09away from billy claims he knows exactly what he's doing it'll all work out in the end okay what about
15:15sally how does she feel about all she's as unhappy as we are she's worried about billy's well-being
15:21but also about the fate of avid communications well has she tried to reason with yes and he hasn't
15:27changed course so he's chosen to turn his back on you and on sally all for the greater good the glory of the
15:34win a roll of the dice yeah he's doing it again he's pushing away all the people who care about him
15:42the most and he won't listen billy's on his own he's headed for a crash i just know it
15:49you stormed out of there rather quickly
15:58if your boss sent you here to calm me down or neutralize me it's a waste of time
16:03what if i just needed a drink
16:09you and i we barely talk anymore i miss you
16:13what are you doing why are you working with him i thought you retired irrelevant
16:23you bored michael is that what it is i'm sure lauren's thrilled with your new gig
16:28i appreciate the concern but uh also irrelevant well this should be a fun conversation
16:35let me be very clear i'm out you're in why i am not your replacement billy we have very different
16:43skill sets i was also brought on well before you were let go you know sometimes timing is everything
16:51then why'd you follow me here to make sure you didn't do anything rash
16:59a lot of people have tried to save me from myself michael
17:04but i promise you this time feels very different pray tell
17:10well kane screwed me over let me in and then he cast me out so why shouldn't i blow up his master plan
17:18it because it would be unwise so you're here because he's afraid of what i might do
17:27he knows that i pose a threat to everything that is dear to him
17:34i think you should go back to your boss
17:37and you should tell him that he messed with the wrong person
17:41and that what comes next is what happens when you undermine me one too many times
17:52i don't know what you're talking about there's no tension between myself and my don't do that
17:57okay there's whatever's going on it's not going to interfere with anything
18:03okay so from what i understand michael said the riff began because sharon needed a lawyer and he decided to defend her
18:14uh sharon was accused of murdering heather and heather was my son's partner
18:21she was also accused of framing my son which she did do
18:26okay so sharon needed a lawyer michael took her case and his instincts were ultimately right
18:35so i guess he made the right call sharon did not kill heather but she did in fact frame my son but
18:41apparently she didn't know what she was doing at the time because she was drugged
18:46sharon pled guilty for framing daniel right yeah um don't you understand this it was unfair
18:55michael owes me michael chose the woman who framed my son over me just let it go
19:05you have no right to say that to me do yourself a favor michael cares about you
19:10all right there's no point in hanging on to all of this it's a waste of time oh waste of time okay
19:16okay easy for you to say you're an interesting creature so are you and this is coming from the
19:22guy who likes ficus and and trains let me see if i have this right
19:31you demand strict loyalty from the people in your life but at the same time
19:35would throw absolutely anyone under the bus to get what you want that is true it's a contradiction
19:44yes it is and you are the same way that's why we're pulled together
19:52we come from the same place you know that we're survivors
19:56what a day huh what a day you tired you gonna call it a night
20:12no i'm hungry you have dinner plans no i do
20:20good
20:20well i certainly hope that it's not true that mariah would try and take someone's life
20:29you know something like that is permanent and life-altering
20:35daniel i'm so sorry of course this is making you think about heather and the way that she died
20:39listen mariah is not even ward she's not a monster no but if hearing about what mariah has done is too
20:47painful for you okay i'm fine i'm just i don't understand what mariah said i just can't believe
20:56that she would kill someone i mean i don't know what she meant i didn't get the chance to ask her
21:03she just blurted it out and then shut me out again
21:07do you think it could have been self-defense like maybe an accident with her car or something
21:13if she almost killed someone with her car that would be triggering for her especially
21:20because she had been drinking right of course she said i tried to kill someone i mean it sounds
21:27deliberate i i i don't want to think the worst no you've been very gracious but what if ian
21:33ward's return to genoa city triggered something really dark in mariah
21:37what if mariah's right and i haven't been listening
21:46what if ari and i aren't better off without her
21:54what are you doing why why are you still here because i find you absolutely fascinating billy
22:00don't flirt with me i'm not buying you a drink i'll pick up the tab for both of us
22:05in exchange for what for you listening to reason kane's reason no thank you
22:13you're teetering on the prank billy just just step back let me give you a little advice
22:20kane can't be trusted so get out while you still can michael i'm good where i am
22:26better than this why are you exchanging one egomaniac boss for another i have my reasons
22:37pension for risky behavior is almost as bad as mine
22:40i've heard in the grapevine that you've put yourself in some sticky situations because of
22:45your misguided loyalty but this plan of kane's it takes the cake don't risk your life because of his
22:51dangerous and illegal scheme well you had no problem with it when you thought it would get
22:57you what you wanted what i wanted was chancellor and i deserved it he dangled it in front of my face
23:04and then he yanked it away there's still time to change course billy nope it's too late my eyes are wide open
23:14and kane has himself a new enemy
23:21and he's not gonna like what i have planned for him next
23:25thanks for the drink
23:44well like i said we don't really know each other all that well so i don't know if i'm in any position
23:51to weigh in on where mariah's head is at well she clearly felt comfortable enough to come to you
23:57yeah but i mean i think that was more about you protecting you and aria
24:06mariah is kind and affectionate and loving she is a wonderful partner and an amazing mother
24:17her and given how she was raised that is somewhat miraculous sure i mean her history with ian ward
24:25from the second she was born he had complete control over her life she spent her early years on a cult
24:32and after a lot of mistakes and some second chances she was able to reconnect with sharon
24:40the mother she didn't know she had to become the warm loving person that she is
24:44despite everything ian put her through the mariah i knew was not dangerous or violent i mean she would
24:53only lash out if someone she loved was in danger you know when i spoke to her
25:01she was only concerned for you and aria i mean it seemed as though she was in pain at the thought of
25:09the two of the two of you suffering when she finally told me that she had tried to kill someone
25:17she looked so terrified like she couldn't believe what she was capable of did she say when this
25:26happened no but it must have been on her business trip because she has not been the same since
25:31what do you think i should do i mean should i call her and try to get her to stay in town
25:40or should i let her go to figure it out on her own and try to figure out my own life as a single mom
25:48is this seat taken tracy how are you done i'm good i'm good how are you wait how is retirement
26:04so so oh no so what's the occasion back in town and uh craving empanadas

28:12look it's not my place to weigh in on your decision i mean i want to be there to support you
28:18obviously and mariah too if i can but i don't want it to feel like i'm overstepping or i'm taking
28:28sides i'm sorry this must just be so awkward to put you in this situation
28:35yeah i mean it's a bit awkward but if you're gonna choose sides it better be mine
28:40i'm not kidding i mean you and i are the ones that are friends you definitely have the edge thank you
28:50i'm sorry i feel for you i really do i mean i can see the pain and confusion that this has caused
28:59you know it would really help if you would just decide for me because i i'm just so tired of
29:09adulting i'm so over it i hear you yeah i remember there was a time when i could just be
29:16wild and crazy and i had zero responsibilities and there were just no problems those were the days
29:25what does your gut say i mean you ready to just give up on her take a step back and let mariah figure
29:37this out on her own despite everything and how frustrated i've been with her
29:45i still love her and i mean seeing her last time i mean she was so scared i mean she was consumed with
29:58fear you don't want to just let her suffer on her own no i can't i can't do that i mean and for her
30:05sake or for mine so i'm gonna go to the hotel that mariah is staying at
30:19i'm gonna talk to people and i'm gonna see if i can find out anything because i want to get to the
30:23bottom of this phyllis i didn't realize that you knew kane oh yes yes he invited me to his
30:35party in niece and now we're working together i see well i guess it's good that you've been busy
30:44yeah yeah that's good and you you're you're busy yeah writing and you know yes yeah it's been a
30:54really good distraction yeah yeah
30:59do you ever think of martin
31:00yes um sometimes i wake up and i imagine that he's still lying next to me alan i mean
31:13the man i thought i was in love with and then there are the nightmares uh
31:20martin is there and he wants to hurt me and my family
31:28i'm in nightmares all the time
31:33i'm thinking about me and sharon fighting for our lives and that cell just
31:39it's too much phyllis i am still so sorry about what he put you and sharon through no don't be sorry
31:48don't be sorry it wasn't your fault you were lied to i know but it's a terrible feeling to have been
31:55deceived like that to know what he is capable of and how he took advantage of other people yeah but you're
32:01such a good person you're such a good person you are the good person you didn't deserve this
32:09just i wish i hadn't been so trusting um i saw what i wanted to see so
32:17some days are okay and some days are really hard
32:26some days are really hard
32:31phyllis
32:35i wish that some of your toughness could rub off on me because you are just a badass you and ashley
32:43you're a badass no yes you are you are you're a badass not me really
32:54so um the stuff you're writing does it does it have to do with martin now you're getting revenge
33:00through your writing
33:03an author never tells her see that's right
33:05so um when your book comes out i definitely want a copy you will get the first copy that you and
33:14sharon and ashley okay
33:19this is to us oh right the future a life well lived the future the future here here here
33:28so what are we toasting oh to the future in life
33:39poor pain is everything all right
33:47i talked with victoria in the car on the way home from billy's and she's just as worried as we are
33:53about what he's getting into especially since it involves victor victoria knows that won't end well
33:59victor and billy fought over chancellor before this could only be worse yeah and it doesn't seem
34:04like there's much we can do to stop whatever happens next billy has made up his mind
34:12i just hear my name uh if you've been drinking which it looks like you have go home
34:18i hope you can talk tomorrow this won't take long jack i don't want to fight with you billy
34:23you know diane was right i have made up my mind and i don't want to fight either jack
34:30in fact i want to make a deal
34:41um i think it is a great idea to further investigate this
34:46yes if mariah won't give me the answers i need i will find them myself yeah i mean i get it you
34:54know you don't want to lose her i was just telling my dad about you know some of the disagreements that
35:00i had with heather and yeah sure some of them were important but i mean most of them were just stupid
35:07you know they were dumb and in the end they didn't matter they didn't mean anything and i really
35:13really regret all the time that i wasted on them life is short but love wins right
35:22definitely okay i need to get organized okay i need to call aria's nanny and see if she can watch
35:32her for a bit and i will have to check in with abby and ask for some time off work i mean hopefully it
35:38won't take too long to get answers if you need any help figuring out how i mean honestly i don't
35:44even know where to start i hope i'm not walking into anything sketchy i mean i should be careful
35:50right maybe you shouldn't go alone but who am i going to drag along this crazy journey
35:57maybe your best guitar student
36:04wait what i mean do you have the time
36:08i've got nothing but time over here that's for sure are you being serious
