00:00Oh, look who's stalking who now.
00:18I walk through this park all the time, so to me, it seems like you're the one who's lying in wait.
00:24The only thing I'm waiting for is for you to leave me alone.
00:26I guess you have nothing better to do with your time, given you have no job, no relationship, no life.
00:33Really, I guess your sole remaining purpose in this world is to irritate me.
00:40How do you manage to carry around such a large ego?
00:43What are you still doing here, Audra?
00:46In the park?
00:48No, in general, what city?
00:50Nobody trusts you, nobody likes you, nobody wants you here.
00:55Is that right?
00:55How many more failures and humiliations is it going to take for you to leave town?
01:02Are you that much of a masochist?
01:03Do you like people giving you dirty looks, talking about you behind your back,
01:08crossing to the other side of the street when they see you coming?
01:12I mean, why are you that much of a glutton for punishment?
01:16Is that what you think you're going to do to me, Kyle?
01:19You're going to punish me?
01:21I mean, we both know you've been a bad little boy.
01:24You know, let's talk about your latest tantrum.
01:29You know, you stood up and beat your chest and you swore that you're going to make it your life mission to pay me back.
01:36It's going to happen.
01:38When, Kyle?
01:39I'm still here.
01:40I'm still standing.
01:42I'm still unscathed.
01:44Oh, and most importantly, I'm still here to hatch my evil plots to make your life a living hell.
01:51That you are.
01:52If you want to get me out of Genoa City, you're going to have to do a whole lot more than make these tired, empty threats.
01:58I agree.
02:01So just you wait, Audra.
02:03You think things are bad for you now?
02:06The worst is yet to come.
02:08Oh, hey.
02:15I just have a couple of things I need to tie up and I'm ready to go.
02:18I got all of the payroll done.
02:23All my vendors are paid.
02:24I even got that new baker up to speed.
02:28Sharon.
02:28I know.
02:29I know.
02:30I have been the cause of us missing flights in the past.
02:33That is not going to happen today.
02:35My suitcase is right behind the counter.
02:37I am packed.
02:38I am ready to fly to L.A. with you.
02:40That is great, but...
02:41Oh, wait a minute.
02:42Wait a minute.
02:42I forgot.
02:44I have to go over the rollout of the new pumpkin drinks with Esther.
02:49We are going to have a spiced pumpkin latte, a spiced pumpkin chai latte, and a pumpkin cold brew with this pumpkin cream froth in it.
03:02Okay, can you just give me a second?
03:04What?
03:06You don't like our pumpkin drink selection?
03:09No, I love everything this place serves.
03:12Everything.
03:13Okay, what is it?
03:14What's the plan?
03:15There's a chance I missed the flight today.
03:19Why?
03:21My dad.
03:22He has summoned me out to the ranch.
03:24I get the feeling he is looking for a fight.
03:33Is that the art of war?
03:36Getting ready for battle, Dad?
03:37Sweetheart, I was just thinking of cold, you know.
03:41Yeah, I know.
03:42He brought you back that book from one of his trips as a gift.
03:45I know.
03:46Are you holding up?
03:48I'm all right.
03:51Sometimes I'll...
03:52I'll get a text, and for one split second I'll think that it's him, but then I'll remember that he's gone.
04:00But then I'll laugh anyway.
04:02You know?
04:02Yeah.
04:03Did he send me funny texts?
04:05Funny videos of panda bears.
04:08Panda bears?
04:09Yes, Daddy.
04:10They do the silliest, cutest things.
04:13Are they dangerous?
04:14Well, yes, I mean, they're wild animals, but in the videos they're very funny.
04:19That's so funny.
04:21Send me one of them.
04:22Seriously?
04:23Yeah.
04:24I like to laugh.
04:24Okay.
04:25I will.
04:26They're funny.
04:27They are.
04:30If you're not up for the meeting...
04:34Cain is coming after our family.
04:37It's an all-hands-on-deck moment.
04:39Yeah.
04:42That's why I've asked Adam and Chelsea to cut the trip short.
04:47Well, Nicholas is on his way.
04:49Do you want to wait on filling me in?
04:51No.
04:52Not necessary.
04:53You know that I have a lot of negative information about Cain Ashby and his father?
05:02I'm assuming that Cain has not given in to any of your demands.
05:06No, he has not.
05:08That is why...
05:11I need to destroy him.
05:14I need to destroy him.
05:39Victor Newlin was at our house last night?
05:55I'll have to get the place sage to get rid of his bad energy.
05:59Well, he was pretty civil for the most part.
06:02I would have told you, but I had that late business there last night.
06:05Oh, yeah, and I was asleep by the time you got home.
06:08So, I know you're just letting Victor think that the two of you are working together,
06:12but I'm not convinced that's wise.
06:14It's actually not even official. He's still playing cagey with the whole deal.
06:18Well, is that a red flag for you? Because it is for me.
06:21Victor probably has something up his sleeve.
06:23As do I.
06:25Jack, I am asking you to proceed with caution.
06:29We don't want this partnership between the two of you to blow up in our faces.
06:32I have to admit, what you're planning to do makes me a little uneasy.
06:41Don't be, sweetheart.
06:43Once Adam and Chelsea are back in town, they will, you know,
06:48put all that bad information about Cain Ashby and his father across all platforms.
06:54How Colin got that seed money for Arabesque by swindling that poor widow.
07:00Yeah, that poor widow was Madame de Lyon.
07:03Remember, she owned the damn chateau in which we stayed.
07:07He stole that from her. He stole the vineyard from her and her entire fortune.
07:12That's how Cain Ashby built her so-called empire.
07:15Once that gets out on all platforms...
07:19It will ruin his reputation.
07:22That's right.
07:27Ever understand where you get your confidence from?
07:30Uh, I had to believe in myself when no one else did.
07:34Oh.
07:35Here you are.
07:37Right back in the same spot.
07:39Hey, for your information, there are people out there in the world who still care about me.
07:42Yeah, I can probably count them on one hand.
07:45Hmm.
07:46Actually, make that one finger.
07:47Sally Spectra.
07:50It's clear she threw you a bone when she brought you on to Abbott Communications,
07:54and that has failed to.
07:56Actually, that's not over just yet.
07:58Well, it has a weak pulse, and it's fading fast,
08:01and even if it does launch, it won't take Sally long to realize you are way more trouble than you're worth.
08:06Oh, just the same way Claire figured that out about you.
08:10Yeah, you've told me time and time again how important it is to create your own brand,
08:15but you've only been successful when you've wrought your own special brand of Havoc.
08:20So why don't you take that somewhere else, because you have more than outstaged your welcome in general city.
08:27Hey, if you can't afford a plane ticket, why don't you run out in style?
08:32Well, I'll fly you anywhere in the world, or my family's private jet, as long as it's a one-way.
08:42That won't be necessary.
08:44I pay my own way.
08:47That's right.
08:48You do, one way or another.
08:50You know, I'd slap you with the hope that you'd choke on that little silver spoon that was already in your mouth when you were born,
08:57but that wouldn't mean I have to touch you.
09:00Too good to accept my charity?
09:03Or are you just not comfortable flying private, giving your poor pitiful roots?
09:08How about this?
09:09I will spot you enough for a bus fare to the state line.
09:14Maybe that's more your speed.
09:15If and when I decide to leave Genoa City, it will be on my terms.
09:23Oh, Audra, we are well past the point of negotiating.
09:27If you know what's good for you, you'll make yourself disappear before someone else does.
09:35I can imagine this is going to hit Cain hard, but I don't see him disappearing from the corporate world entirely.
09:42I mean, he's amassed billions.
09:43Sweetheart, he has amassed billions because of his late father's latest scam.
09:51Do you think Cain knew about it?
09:52Of course he knew about it.
09:54Once they go out on all the platforms, via Numa Media, Cain will go from the savvy mogul...
10:05To not being taken seriously by anyone.
10:07Exactly.
10:09It's really important that they know he's no more than his father was.
10:14A scam artist.
10:15A fraud.
10:16Adam is ready to pull the trigger on Cain.
10:18It's been his position from the start to hit first and hit hard.
10:24And I like that aggressive strain, I really do.
10:27You're more cautious, which is more appropriate in some situations.
10:31I have my reservations.
10:35Please share them with me.
10:37What if your plan, instead of neutralizing the threat, exacerbates it and makes things worse for Newman, Chancellor and the entire family empire?
10:49When is Victor Newman not looking for a fight?
10:56That's a good point.
10:58Just going to have to hope for the best.
11:00And I'll have to prepare for the worst.
11:03I'm so excited.
11:04We're flying to L.A. to meet Noah.
11:06Yeah, I know.
11:07But unlike you, I am not packed.
11:09So I still have to do that.
11:10I got to run home.
11:11I got to get some stuff ready for Faith.
11:12Who's going to be watching?
11:13Christian, I'm just thinking that maybe you should fly to L.A. by yourself.
11:17Are you seriously bailing on me?
11:20I'm definitely not bailing on you.
11:22I will either be there later tonight or tomorrow at the latest.
11:25I just have to see what my dad needs from me.
11:27Oh.
11:28Well, I guess you're not really any use to either one of us if you fly to California and your head is still here.
11:35I just don't want to be the reason you missed your flight.
11:38Okay, I will go.
11:40I'll go.
11:40But you better not keep me waiting long.
11:43You really worried about Noah?
11:45He has seemed a little off the last few times I've talked to him.
11:51He's probably just nervous or really excited about the second club that he's opening.
11:56You know, and he specifically asked for both of our help and advice.
12:00And what I know about nightclubs, I could probably fit into...
12:05One of those mugs you serve all those pumpkin drinks in?
12:08Exactly.
12:11You're a successful businesswoman.
12:13You're in the service industry.
12:15So there's that.
12:17And you ran the underground with Noah.
12:21Still, it just seems like an excuse to get us both out there.
12:26I'm just having a mom sense that there's more to this story than our son is telling us.
12:31When you're face to face with them, you'll know.
12:33He expects to see you get off that plane with me.
12:38And what if Victor pulls you into whatever the next phase of this battle with Cain is about?
12:45If that happens, I'm worried you won't come to L.A. at all.
12:49Okay, Kyle.
12:59What's so damn funny?
13:00You, Kyle, you're a joke.
13:03You know, you think by being mean to me, you're making things harder for me?
13:07Oh, I haven't done anything yet, Audra.
13:09But you can definitely expect actions to follow words.
13:12I mean, the only reason I've been taking it easy on you is because I still feel a little sorry for you.
13:18Don't you dare feel sorry for me.
13:21If you should feel sorry for anyone, it should be for yourself.
13:24You are in much worse shape than I am.
13:27I don't see that.
13:29You lost your precious Claire.
13:31Yeah, we've hit a bit of a rough patch.
13:34Your girlfriend just flew off to L.A. with another man.
13:37Sounds like more than a rough patch to me.
13:40You know, you don't want to know what I think Claire and Holden are doing right now?
13:45Well, I experienced this charm, so I think I can take a pretty good guess.
13:51It's still early over there, so I'm pretty sure Holden's at his favorite hotel rooftop bar,
13:57pointing out the sights to her and sipping on their strong Vesper.
14:01That's not happening.
14:02Are you sure?
14:04Yeah, because I've seen little Missy drink, and she's a lightweight.
14:07You stop talking about her, okay?
14:09You know, Holden's probably expressing concern for her delicate, fair Midwestern skin
14:15and offering to apply some sunscreen.
14:18He's probably rubbing that sunscreen all over her,
14:22the same way you did with Jabot 50 SPF all over my body when we were in that pool and knees.
14:28Hey, are you finished?
14:29I know you ran through some of these scenarios in your head, and that's why you're here.
14:33You're trying to get over all that anger and jealousy and sexual frustration.
14:37You know, you say that I only have one friend, but you have no one.
14:43You're more alone than I am.
14:45And yes, you have a job, but that's just because you're an abbot.
14:49You're a cliche, Kyle.
14:52The spoiled, rich rat whose life is as wasted as it is empty.
14:58So if anyone should go to a new town to make a new life, it's you.
15:07I told you and Noah I was coming to L.A., and I'm going to keep my word.
15:14Do you really think that Victor wants you here?
15:18He's going to let you go that easily?
15:20My dad can handle anything that Cain throws at him, if Cain throws anything at all.
15:26What?
15:27You think he's bluffing?
15:28Cain talks a big game.
15:30Doesn't mean he has game.
15:31I think what happened in these shows that Cain is not one to be written off as harmless.
15:39I never should have taken you on that trip.
15:41I was glad to have your back, even though you still managed to get that terrible gash in your side.
15:49Nah, it was just a scratch.
15:51A scratch.
15:53He nearly killed you.
15:54I know that Noah is not the only kid you're worried about.
16:00Have you heard from Mariah?
16:03Mariah has checked herself into a clinic in Boston.
16:08Oh.
16:08Well, at least you know she's safe.
16:10Yeah, she's in a controlled environment.
16:12I just wish that Daniel and Tessa would check in.
16:15I'm sure they're okay.
16:16The important thing is that Mariah realizes she needs help, and she's getting it.
16:20Yeah, I really wish I knew what it is that's been tormenting her.
16:25Sometimes the best thing you can do to take care of your kids is to take care of yourself.
16:32Where did you read that?
16:34Some parenting blog?
16:36Nah.
16:37Somebody way wiser than I will ever be said at once.
16:41That does sound like something I'd say.
16:43Then follow your own advice.
16:45You know that the moment you become a parent, you never stop worrying.
16:52Maybe I'm over-worrying with Noah, but I don't think that that's true with Mariah and what she's going through.
16:59I have a terrible feeling in the pit in my stomach that what she's going through is about to get way worse before it gets better.
17:08Sweetheart, please don't worry about Cain, Ashby.
17:14I've made plans for any and all outcomes, all right?
17:16Okay.
17:17I tell you what, I will stop worrying about the family business and the family once you stop, okay?
17:23Thank you, sweetheart.
17:25You know, yesterday, Nicholas and I had a conversation about the fact that there's a very real possibility that Lily and the kids have written off Cain,
17:34which means he could have nothing to lose.
17:36That makes him dangerous.
17:40At this point, he's only made threats.
17:43But if we carry out our threat, he might follow through with his.
17:49Daddy, once that AI software is unleashed...
17:52I don't want you to worry.
17:55You don't.
17:56I have plans.
17:58It's just phase one of my attack on that bastard.
18:03Dare I ask what phase two is?
18:06I understand your concern.
18:10In fact, I share it.
18:11I am not putting much trust in Victor.
18:13In fact, the main reason for him stopping by last night was to demand that I not see Jill without him.
18:19You see?
18:20He's already trying to control your potential alliance.
18:24That way he can keep me hanging.
18:26He probably is waiting for you to beg him to join forces.
18:29Well, that's not going to happen.
18:31The clock is ticking now that Jill is back in town.
18:34Have you spoken to her yet?
18:35Not yet.
18:37Unfortunately, her first stop was Cain.
18:39Well, that's not encouraging.
18:41How did you find that out?
18:42Apparently, Billy was there with Cain when Jill made her homecoming.
18:46Why on earth was Billy at Cain's?
18:49I have no idea, but apparently gave her quite an earful.
18:52He laid out for her in great detail every aspect of Cain's threat.
18:57And what did Jill say about the fact that her surrogate son is poised to launch an attack,
19:03a cyber attack, on all of Genoa City's biggest businesses?
19:07Apparently, she was very angry, but mostly at Billy.
19:10God knows what goes on between the three of them.
19:12Yes, they are a very complicated trio, but it sounds like she still has a soft spot for Cain.
19:18Which gives me reason to be concerned about where her loyalties fall.
19:23The fact that I haven't heard from her is disconcerting.
19:25I am the one that reached out to her, alerted her, and tried to get her to come back to Genoa City.
19:30Well, are you going to meet her with Victor?
19:33Well, given that Billy has now told her about Cain's plan,
19:38no, the mustache and I determined that the best thing was to divide and conquer.
19:45I do not like the sound of that.
19:47You could be putting yourself and Jibo at risk with zero backup.
19:55Look, I know how frustrating and scary it can be to be a parent and be in the dark about what is hurting your kids.
20:06I thought about using my therapist title to see if I can get some information out of that clinic,
20:12but I know that that would be a violation of my daughter's trust and, not to mention, unethical.
20:21What matters is Mariah is getting the help she needs, okay?
20:26And I know I don't have to tell you how hard that must have been for her.
20:30As a therapist, I know that she needs to work through this on her own,
20:35and that clinic is definitely a solid step in the right direction.
20:39But as a mother, it's hard not to worry.
20:42While she's safe and working on herself, you know,
20:45maybe this will give Daniel and Tessa time to figure out what's going on,
20:49and when that happens, I know you're going to be the first person they call.
20:53Now, we've been talking a very long time.
20:56I know you have a flight to get to.
21:00I'm excited to see Noah.
21:03Yeah.
21:05Go and have a great time with our son.
21:07Just focus on him.
21:09You know, see if you can get him to get on that Ferris wheel out in Santa Monica.
21:13The one that goes over the Pacific Ocean?
21:16Mm-hmm.
21:16I couldn't even get him on the London Eye when we were all there.
21:20He says it makes him dizzy.
21:22I'll tell him to suck it up, you know, and to be as brave as...
21:25His father.
21:27I was going to say his mother.
21:31How is it that you always know just the right thing to say to make me feel better?
21:38I just throw a bunch of stuff out and hope something sticks.
21:42Okay.
21:44I'm going to need you to come to L.A.
21:46There is something going on with Noah.
21:50I can feel it.
21:52I told you I'm going to be there.
21:54And I will be.
21:56No matter what.
21:57Am I right to assume the next steps of your assault on Cain have something to do with this truce that you made with Jack?
22:07I haven't agreed to anything yet.
22:10You know, Sun Tzu advises shoring up alliances before mounting an attack.
22:18Wait a minute.
22:20You have read The Art of War?
22:22Daddy, do you really think that I would walk into the halls of Newman without doing that?
22:26Let me test you.
22:29All right.
22:29What do you think my next move will be?
22:30I think you're going to wait for Jill to react and then make your decision about forming an alliance with Jack.
22:40Well, I'm not so sure that Jill will want to work with either Jack or me.
22:46You think she's going to side with Cain?
22:49Let me just say whatever the outcome is, it'll be good for our family.
22:54Well, to be honest, I'm not going to worry about what Jill will or won't do right now.
22:58Now I'm still trying to wrap my brain around this scenario that you could actually bring yourself to work with Jack.
23:07There is no scenario.
23:09What do you mean?
23:12I want Jack to think that he and I will work together.
23:18I appreciate you filling me in and trying to calm my fears, but I'm afraid you've only heightened them.
23:25I know what I'm doing.
23:27Divide and conquer?
23:29How so?
23:30We agreed to try our cases before Jill individually and not together.
23:36I never had any intention of bringing him along to meet with Jill.
23:41I have things I want to say to her outside of Victor's presence.
23:45Yes, but now you're creating a scenario where Victor can say things to her outside of yours.
23:49Let's not kid ourselves.
23:51It's always been that way.
23:53At least this way, Victor and I can both impress upon her how very dangerous Cain's plan is.
23:59And on that, we are actually in agreement.
24:01But Victor Newman, as a backup, I don't like it.
24:06I don't like it either.
24:07That's why I am not counting on him to save me.
24:10I have a family that is there for me, especially my beautiful wife.
24:15Yes, yes, you've got me.
24:17But Victor has left you hanging as to whether he's on board with your plan or not.
24:22And that makes you vulnerable.
24:24And now Billy is the one filling Jill in on what's going on with Cain?
24:28He's not exactly a reliable narrator.
24:31Jack, I'm just worried that you're losing control of the situation.
24:36Do not lose faith in me.
24:38I'm not losing faith.
24:39I know you are scared, and you don't have to be.
24:43I promise.
24:45All right.
24:46I mean, I hate to think that Jill would go along with a plan that could potentially decimate Newman, Jabot, and especially Chancellor.
24:55She's not going to do that.
24:56She paid far too dear a price to save that company.
25:00And she thought she was protecting Chancellor from Billy running it into the ground.
25:04She yanked it out from under her son to protect the company.
25:08And that is a decision that has been exceedingly painful for both Jill and Billy.
25:13She's not going to let that happen for no reason.
25:16And I know that honoring Catherine's legacy was also a factor.
25:20Jill's relationship with Catherine was every bit as combative as it was cordial.
25:25You and Jill have had your share of tension as well.
25:30I cannot deny that.
25:32I also know she loved my father very much.
25:36And she loved being an abbot.
25:38Hell, her name is still Abbott.
25:40No matter how she feels about Cain,
25:43I cannot believe she is going to allow that man to sink Jabot or Chancellor.
25:48The truth is, Jack, there's not a lot you can say that's going to put my mind at ease
25:56until this whole business with Cain is over.
25:59I understand.
26:00I just want you to know I'm very eager to get on the other side of this, too.
26:04Good.
26:05Do it.
26:06Now, I have to get to work.
26:07I have a lot to do.
26:09And I was going to meet Kyle here, but...
26:12I guess he forgot.
26:14And you're worried about more than Cain?
26:16Yeah.
26:17He just seems so despondent this morning.
26:21Why?
26:21What did he say?
26:22Not much.
26:23He's trying to put on a brave face, but I know him so well.
26:26He is heartbroken over losing Claire.
26:31Did something else happen since yesterday or something more final?
26:35No, I don't think so.
26:36I thought he was holding out hope that she just needed time and space.
26:40She left the door open.
26:41Jack, I just feel so guilty.
26:45Wait, why would you feel guilty?
26:47Because I think that Kyle feels that both of us took Claire's side
26:51when we were trying to get him to see the whole situation from her point of view.
26:57Honey, my heart goes out to our son.
27:00But the situation he is in is mostly of his making.
27:03Jack.
27:04He's the one that created the scenario that pushed Claire out.
27:08Now he's got to figure out a way to fix things.
27:11If there is a way to fix things.
27:14Wait, why are you looking at me that way?
27:15Well, because we're talking about our son losing the woman that he loves.
27:20And I'm just surprised to hear you sound so cold.
27:25You know, it's amazing to watch you try to turn this around on me.
27:32Everyone knows you hit rock bottom.
27:35You screwed up and in the process blew up your life.
27:39It's not me you're mad at.
27:40Oh, it's definitely you I'm mad at.
27:42No, you're angry at yourself.
27:44You need to accept responsibility and accept reality.
27:47Don't talk to me about taking responsibility.
27:50I have owned up to my mistakes and then some.
27:53Oh, right.
27:53You know, I was a fool for risking my relationship with Nate,
27:58thinking I could control your behavior.
28:01When it's you who can't control himself around me.
28:03Don't flatter yourself.
28:05Yeah, you just wanted me so badly and you hated yourself, right?
28:11So you turned this around on me.
28:12You twisted what happened.
28:14You filled Claire's head with lie after lie lies that she took to Nate.
28:18And that's why I'm in this situation.
28:20You just keep telling yourself whatever lies to make you feel better.
28:23No, you're the one going through life with blinders on.
28:26You are spoiled, rotten, and you live in this complete fantasy land.
28:30The only fantasy I have is a life without you in it.
28:34Oh, really, Kyle?
28:35Is that the only fantasy you have about me?
28:38Mm-hmm.
28:39That's your problem.
28:40You just can't accept how much you wanted me and still do.
28:44Someone so beneath you.
28:46Just admit it.
28:48You're pathetic.
28:49You know, you told Claire that we kissed Denise.
28:53But you made it sound so innocent.
28:56Like it was just some peck on the cheek.
28:58Did she tell her how little clothing was involved or how long that kiss lasted?
29:03Or where it happened?
29:05On your bed.
29:06And did you tell Nate the same?
29:08You want to be in love.
29:10In a solid, stable relationship.
29:13But you can't.
29:14You can try to catch yourself.
29:16Like you did when things were getting so intense between us.
29:20But we both know, Kyle, how close you were to taking things beyond that kiss.
29:30Sorry I'm late.
29:36I'm supposed to be on a plane right now to L.A. with Sharon.
29:39I hope this is important.
29:40Son, nothing is more important than our family and our company.
29:46I know, Dad.
29:47But I just wish I knew more about what was going on.
29:50Every time I ask you, you tell me not to worry about it and that you've got it handled.
29:53And I have it handled.
29:54But when I ask you to come, it's with good reason.
29:58I'm sure it is.
29:59I'm just anxious to see my boy.
30:01Sounds like he needs my advice.
30:04I need yours.
30:06We're about to embark upon an all-out war against Kane Ashby.
30:11And every move we make from now on is crucial.
30:13I don't think I'm being cold about Kyle's romantic life.
30:21I think I'm being realistic.
30:23We have found time and again that coddling Kyle is the worst thing for him.
30:28Oh, that sounds a bit like an accusation.
30:31Did you or did you not ask Mrs. Martinez to serve braised short ribs tonight for dinner?
30:38It's Kyle's favorite.
30:39We have taught Kyle that lessons of the heart are often the hardest.
30:45And I am not against Kyle learning from his mistakes.
30:50I mean, I've made my fair share and I am wiser than most because of it.
30:54Then why are you feeling guilty for helping Kyle see that he made some real mistakes in how he dealt with Claire?
31:00Because I'm his mother.
31:02All right?
31:02And when I see him in pain, of course, I'm going to second guess our tough love approach.
31:08Okay, I get it.
31:09I do.
31:09I just worry that if we let this go, if we don't make a point of it, he's not going to get the lesson from all of this.
31:18But Jack, don't you see?
31:20Maybe by being tough, we're just making it worse.
31:23I mean, often his first reaction to making a mistake is to lash out.
31:29Well, you're worried he's going to take out his anger on Claire?
31:32Not Claire.
31:35Audra and Holden.
31:37You need to wake up.
31:41I already told you I was onto you from the start.
31:46That I knew you were playing me with this whole fragrance competition idea.
31:50And if you don't believe me, ask my parents.
31:54Oh, ask Claire.
31:55Oh, I'm sure Claire has better things to do than to answer my questions.
32:01And I wouldn't want to interrupt her during her quality time with Holden.
32:05Nate actually thanked me for exposing you for the vile creature you are.
32:12I guess he was holding out hope that you had an actual beating heart somewhere in that chest of yours.
32:18But I, for one, never shared his delusions.
32:21You're stupid, Kyle.
32:22But you're not an idiot.
32:26Sure, you had doubts about me and my perfume war plan.
32:30But the question is, why did you decide to ignore them, huh?
32:33Why did you leave your girlfriend to tend to her dying sick father just so you could entrap me with champagne cocktails and near-naked dips in the pool on the French Riviera?
32:44What, to prove something you already knew?
32:46I did that.
32:46You did it because you loved it.
32:49You love the game.
32:50You're a player and will always be.
32:52That's not true.
32:53You will always find women like me more alluring and attractive than Summer and Claire.
32:58That's why both of those relationships failed.
33:02Everyone sees it except you.
33:05When are you going to accept the kind of man you really are?
33:08So the media onslaught is ready.
33:18You are using Jack and the pseudo-alliance for an as-yet-to-be-revealed plan that benefits us specifically.
33:26That is correct.
33:29Has Mom signed off on this?
33:31Nick is right.
33:32Mom's not going to be very happy about you hurting Jack.
33:35Your mother is part of this family and she is CEO of Chancellor.
33:39Those are her priorities.
33:41Well, I'm going to let you work that out with her yourself.
33:44I just wish I knew if all of Cain's threats were actually real or just a bunch of talk.
33:50We're going to find out soon.
33:51I was talking with Dad before you got here about my concern that once we release this damning information about Colin, Cain has every reason to retaliate.
34:01That's a possibility.
34:02If there's even a chance that Cain has this AI software program, why provoke him?
34:08Since Cain's come to town, it's been all bark, no bite.
34:12Let's just ignore it.
34:13Not going to ignore it.
34:15Then Cain Ashby needs to find out that my threats are very serious.
34:21A year ago, I may not have said this, but I'd like to think now Kyle has his head on straight and is not going to react in the heat of the moment.
34:31Jack, you just finished telling me that you're worried that he won't learn from his mistakes.
34:35I was talking about his missteps with Claire.
34:37I'm just hoping he finally has some control of his other impulses.
34:43Well, that's easier said than done.
34:46I don't know what this Holden character's agenda is all about, but you know that I have almost come to blows with Audra myself.
34:53Almost?
34:53I would respectfully ask that you show the same restraint that we require of our son.
35:01Another conflict with Audra is not going to help anything.
35:04Hi there.
35:12Hey.
35:13How are you holding up?
35:15When I saw you at the house this morning, you didn't seem yourself.
35:20You're right, Mom.
35:21I haven't been myself.
35:23Should have seen this coming.
35:25How so?
35:28Claire's decision, Sam bagged me.
35:30Knocked me off my balance, but I'm back on my feet.
35:33What does that mean?
35:36I'm ready to fight.
35:44Here you go.
35:47Will Nate be joining you?
35:49Uh, I am flying solo today.
35:52Oh, you know what?
35:52I am literally flying solo.
35:55I'm on my way to see Noah.
35:58How is Noah?
36:00Good.
36:00You know, his nightclub in London is doing so well, he might open one up in L.A.
36:06Good for him.
36:08Yeah, it sounds like he found his passion.
36:10You should see him in the club.
36:12He's just so in his element.
36:14Yeah, I remember he had a flair for it here as well.
36:19He doesn't miss his art.
36:21Doesn't seem to.
36:22He has a very full life.
36:24He and Ali are so happy.
36:26They're head over heels in love.
36:33I was just talking to your father about this.
36:36We just don't want your anger, which is just another way of expressing your hurt feelings, to get the best of you.
36:44Like I said, I found my balance again.
36:47Well, I hope that's the case.
36:49You were pretty upset yesterday about this breakup.
36:52Shouldn't I be?
36:53Well, of course you should be.
36:54We're not trying to tell you how to feel.
36:57No, we just want you to be careful.
36:59Any choice you make right now is going to be based more on raw instinct than rational thought.
37:04Claire said I was overthinking things.
37:07I think she was right.
37:08I'm going to follow my gut, which I should have been doing from the beginning, so I've made a decision.
37:13What decision is that?
37:15I'm not going to wait around, see what happens with Claire.
37:19So are you making the choice to move on?
37:22Oh, absolutely not.
37:23What I mean is I'm not going to wait and take the chance that Holden convinces Claire that she's better off with him.
37:31I'm going to Los Angeles.
37:33And when I get there, I'll do whatever it takes to win Claire back.
37:38Son, I know that you're anxious to head off to L.A.
37:41Do you see Noah?
37:43It's okay, Dad.
37:45What do you need?
37:46As soon as Adam's plane hits ground, you go to him and tell him to be ready on his part, okay?
37:53Done.
37:54And then tell him to inform the IT team to watch for any abnormalities.
37:59We cannot let that slip by.
38:01We've updated the firewall program and we have the best cyber defense that money can buy.
38:05Even though we don't know that Kane's AI program is even real.
38:09Well, we'll soon find out, won't we?
38:12You know, I have a feeling this is all going to start very quickly and very soon.
38:23Kane Ashley has been planning this for a long time.
38:26But he doesn't know what he's up against.
38:28He wants to know what he's up against.
38:33He's up against.
38:33You know, he has they line up to win a loss.
38:34He wants to know what he is.
38:35So, let's go.
38:36The Cleveland fan of the world's playing for a long time is of course.
38:38He wants to know what, grade six, you know, from the top of the world's playing for.
38:39But we have a feeling this is all going to be the way he inventions of the imagine for it.
38:41We can't believe this is all going to be your fault.
38:43That's the idea of the despair and the other's dying for us.
38:45We've overcome it!!
38:46Not too many because we've been trying to answer until the effort because it doesn't matter something important.
38:48Because more Evil have been survived toain there.
38:50The Maxwell has been historic.
