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...
05:15I need you.
05:44Victor 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.
06:34I have to admit, what you're planning to do makes me a little uneasy.
06:41Don't be, sweetheart.
06:42Once Adam and Chelsea are back in town, they will, you know, put all that bad information
06:50about Cain Ashby and his father across all platforms.
06:55How Colin got that seed money for Arabesque by swindling that poor widow.
07:00Yeah, that poor widow was Madame de Lyon.
07:04Remember, 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.
07:16Once that gets out of all platforms...
07:20It will ruin his reputation.
07:22That's right.
07:22Do you ever 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.
07:48Sally Spectra.
07:50It's clear she threw you a bone when she brought you on to Abbott Communications, and that has failed to.
07:56Actually, that's not over just yet.
07:58Oh, it has a weak pulse, and it's fading fast, and 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.
08:09Well, you know, you've told me time and time again how important it is to create your own brand, but you've only been successful when you've wrought your own special brand of Havoc, so why don't you take that somewhere else, because you have more than outstaged your welcome engine, we'll see.
08:27Hey, if you can't afford a plane ticket, why don't you run out in style?
08:33I'll fly you anywhere in the world on my family's private jet.
08:38Yeah, 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.
08:51You 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, but that would mean I have to touch you.
08:59Too good to accept my charity?
09:03Or are you just not comfortable flying private, giving your poor pitiful roots?
09:07How about this?
09:09I will spot you enough for a bus fare to the state line.
09:14Maybe that's more your speed.
09:18If 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 Kane hard, but I don't see him disappearing from the corporate world entirely.
09:41I mean, he's amassed billions.
09:44You know, he has amassed billions because of his late father's latest scam.
09:51Do you think Kane knew about it?
09:52Of course he knew about it.
09:54Once they go out on all the platforms, via New Media, Kane will go from the savvy mogul...
10:05To not being taken seriously by anyone.
10:07Exactly.
10:08It's really important that they know he's no more than his father was.
10:14A scam artist, a fraud.
10:16Adam is ready to pull the trigger on Kane.
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.
10:32I have my reservations.
10:35Please share them with me.
10:38What 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.
11:13I'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.
11:37Okay, I will go.
11:40I'll go.
11:40But you better not keep me waiting long.
11:43You really worried about Noah?
11:46He has seemed a little off the last few times I've talked to him.
11:51He's probably just nervous or really excited about this 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?
12:09Exactly.
12:11You're a successful businesswoman.
12:13You're in the service industry, so 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 him, 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?
13:46I experience this charm, so I think I can take a pretty good guess.
13:50It'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 vespers.
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?
14:10You know, Holden's probably expressing concern for her delicate, fair, Midwestern skin
14:15and offering to apply some sunscreen.
14:17He'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.
14:38You 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.
15:05I 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 to hear he'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.
15:25What, you think he's bluffing?
15:28Cain talks a big game.
15:30Doesn't mean he has game.
15:32I think what happened in knees 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.
15:53I 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, somebody 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?
18:05I 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.
18:25He 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 Jabo 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 doesn't know what he's up against.
38:29He doesn't know what he's up against.
38:30He doesn't know what he's up against.
38:31He doesn't know what he's up against.
38:32He doesn't know what he's up against.
38:33He doesn't know what he's up against.
38:34He doesn't know what he's up against.
38:35He doesn't know what he's up against.
38:36He doesn't know what he's up against.
38:37He doesn't know what he's up against.
38:38He doesn't know what he's up against.
38:39He doesn't know what he's up against.
