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