The Young And The Restless – Episode 10-6-25
Transcript
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.
00:27I 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?
00:44What are you still doing here, Padra?
00:47In 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, I 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.
02:29I 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.
02:43I 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 there with Spain?
03:15There's a chance I missed the flight today.
03:20Why?
03:21My dad.
03:22He has summoned me out to the ranch.
03:24I get the feeling he is looking for a fight.
03:34Is that the art of war?
03:36Getting ready for battle, Dad?
03:38Sweetheart, I was just thinking of cold, you know?
03:40Yeah, I know.
03:42He brought you back that book from one of his trips as a gift.
03:45I know.
03:46How are you holding up?
03:48I'm all right.
03:49Sometimes I'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.
03:58But then I'll laugh anyway.
04:01Did you know?
04:03Yeah.
04:03Did you 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?
04:15Well, 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.
04:25Okay.
04:25I will.
04:26If they're funny.
04:28They are.
04:31If you're not up for the meeting.
04:35Kane is coming after our family.
04:37It's an all-hands-on-deck moment.
04:39Yeah.
04:40That'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.
04:55You know that I have a lot of negative information about Kane Ashby and his father?
05:02I'm assuming that Kane has not given in to any of your demands.
05:06No, he has not.
05:06No, he has not.
05:08That is why I 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 leaf 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,
06:13but 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.
06:44Once 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.
07:04Remember, 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...
07:19It 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.
08:07Oh, just the same way Claire figured that out about you.
08:09You know, you've told me time and time again how important it is to create your own brand,
08:16but 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 outstayed your welcome ingenuosity.
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.
08:42Like that 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.
09:28If 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.
09:41I mean, he's amassed billions.
09:44So you know 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,
10:00Cain 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.
10:16Cain 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.
10:26I 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 gonna 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 gotta run home.
11:11I gotta get some stuff ready for Faith,
11:12who's gonna be watching.
11:13Christian, I'm just thinking that maybe
11:15you 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 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
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...
12:06One of those mugs
12:07you 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.
12:16And you ran the underground with Noah.
12:21Still, it just seems like an excuse
12:24to get us both out there.
12:26I'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?
12:44If that happens,
12:47I'm worried you won't come to L.A. at all.
12:55Okay, Kyle.
12:59What's so damn funny?
13:00You, Kyle, you're a joke.
13:03You know, you think by being mean to me
13:06you're making things harder for me?
13:07Oh, I haven't done anything yet, Audra.
13:09But you can definitely expect actions
13:12to 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 to L.A.
13:36with another man.
13:37Sounds like more than a rough patch to me.
13:40You know, you don't want to know what I think
13:42Claire and Holden are doing right now?
13:46I 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
13:55at his favorite hotel rooftop bar,
13:57pointing out the sights to her
13:59and sipping on their strong vesper.
14:01That's not happening.
14:03Are 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
14:12for her delicate, fair,
14:14Midwestern skin
14:15and offering to apply
14:16some sunscreen.
14:17He'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
14:27and knees.
14:28Okay, 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
14:34all that anger
14:34and jealousy
14:35and sexual frustration.
14:38You know, you say
14:39that I 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
15:34that Cain 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 you still managed
15:46to get that terrible gash
15:48in your side.
15:49Nah, it was just a scratch.
15:51A scratch.
15:53I knew he killed you.
15:56I know that Noah
15:58is not the only kid
15:59you're worried about.
16:00Have you heard from Mariah?
16:03Mariah has checked herself
16:05into a clinic in Boston.
16:08Oh.
16:08Well, at least you know
16:09she's safe.
16:10Yeah, she's in a controlled environment.
16:12I just wish that Daniel
16:13and Tessa would check in.
16:15I'm sure they're okay.
16:16The important thing
16:17is that Mariah realizes
16:19she needs help
16:20and she's getting it.
16:21Yeah, I really wish I knew
16:23what it is
16:23that's been tormenting her.
16:25Sometimes the best thing
16:27you can do
16:28to take care of your kids
16:29is to take care of 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.
16:41It does sound like
16:42something I'd say.
16:43Then follow your own advice.
16:46You know
16:46that the moment
16:47you become a parent
16:49you never stop worrying.
16:52Maybe I'm over worrying
16:54with Noah
16:55but 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.
17:11Sweetheart,
17:11please don't worry
17:12about Cain, ask me.
17:14I've made plans
17:15for any and all outcomes,
17:16all right?
17:17Okay.
17:17I tell you what,
17:18I will stop worrying
17:19about the family business
17:20and the family
17:21once you stop, okay?
17:23Thank you, sweetheart.
17:24You know, yesterday,
17:26Nicholas and I had 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.
17:38That makes him dangerous.
17:40At this point,
17:42he's only made threats,
17:43but if we carry out our threat,
17:46he might follow through with his.
17:47Daddy,
17:49once that AI software
17:51is unleashed...
17:52I don't want you to worry.
17:55You don't.
17:56I have plans.
17:59It's just phase one
18:00of 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
18:13in Victor.
18:13In fact,
18:14the main reason for him
18:15stopping by last night
18:16was to demand
18:17that I not see Jill
18:18without him.
18:19You see?
18:20He's already trying to control
18:22your 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, that's not going to happen.
18:31The clock is ticking
18:32now that Jill is back in town.
18:34Have you spoken to her?
18:35Not yet.
18:37Unfortunately,
18:37her first stop was Cain.
18:39Well, that's not encouraging.
18:41How did you find that out?
18:42Apparently,
18:43Billy was there with Cain
18:45when Jill made her homecoming.
18:46Why on earth
18:47was Billy at Cain's?
18:49I have no idea,
18:50but apparently gave her
18:51quite an earful.
18:52He laid out for her
18:53in great detail
18:55every aspect of Cain's threat.
18:58And what did Jill say
18:59about the fact
19:00that her surrogate son
19:01is poised to launch an attack,
19:03a cyber attack,
19:04on all of Genoa City's
19:06biggest businesses?
19:07Apparently,
19:07she was very angry,
19:09but mostly at Billy.
19:10God knows what goes on
19:11between the three of them.
19:12Yes,
19:13they are a very complicated trio,
19:15but it sounds like
19:15she still has a soft spot
19:17for Cain.
19:18Which gives me reason
19:19to be concerned
19:20about where her loyalties fall.
19:23The fact that I haven't heard
19:24from her is disconcerting.
19:26I am the one
19:26that reached out to her,
19:27alerted her,
19:28and tried to get her
19:28to come back to Genoa City.
19:30Well,
19:31are you going to meet her
19:32with Victor?
19:33Well,
19:34given that Billy
19:35has now told her
19:37about Cain's plan,
19:38no,
19:39the mustache and I
19:40determined that
19:41the best thing
19:42was to divide and conquer.
19:45I do not like
19:46the sound of that.
19:48You could be putting
19:48yourself and Jabo
19:50at risk
19:51with zero backup.
19:52I know how frustrating
20:01and scary it can be
20:02to be a parent
20:03and be in the dark
20:04about what is hurting
20:04your kids.
20:06I thought about
20:08using my therapist title
20:09to see if 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 trust
20:17and not to mention
20:18unethical.
20:20What matters is
20:22Mariah is getting
20:23the help she needs,
20:24okay?
20:26And I know
20:27I don't have to tell you
20:28how hard that must
20:29have been for her.
20:30As a therapist,
20:32I know that she needs
20:33to work through this
20:34on her own,
20:35and that clinic
20:35is definitely
20:36a solid step
20:37in the right direction.
20:39But as a mother,
20:40it's hard not to worry.
20:42While she's safe
20:43and working on herself,
20:45you know,
20:46maybe this will give
20:46Daniel and Tessa
20:48time to figure out
20:49what's going on,
20:49and when that happens,
20:50I know you're going
20:51to be the first person
20:52they call.
20:53Now, we'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 Ferris wheel
21:11out in Santa Monica.
21:13The one that goes
21:14over the Pacific Ocean?
21:16Mm-hmm.
21:16I couldn't even get him
21:18on the London Eye
21:19when we were all there.
21:20He says it makes 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 to say
21:28his mother.
21:31How is it that you
21:32always know
21:34just the right thing
21:35to say
21:36to make me feel better?
21:38I just throw
21:38a bunch of stuff out
21:39and hope something sticks.
21:42Okay.
21:42I'm gonna need you
21:45to come to L.A.
21:47There is something
21:48going on with Noah.
21:50I can feel it.
21:52I told you
21:52I'm gonna be there.
21:54And I will be.
21:56No matter what.
22:00Am I right to assume
22:02the next steps
22:03of your assault on Cain
22:04have something to do
22:04with this truce
22:06that you made
22:07with Jack?
22:09I haven't agreed
22:10to anything yet.
22:10You know,
22:13Sun Tzu
22:13advises
22:14shoring up alliances
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 think
22:23that I would walk
22:24into the halls of Newman
22:25without doing that?
22:27Are you serious?
22:27Let me test you.
22:29All right.
22:29What do you think
22:29my next move will be?
22:32I think you're gonna wait
22:33for Jill to react
22:34and then
22:35make your decision
22:37about
22:37forming an alliance
22:39with Jack.
22:40Well,
22:41I'm not so sure
22:42that Jill
22:42will want to work
22:43with either Jack
22:45or me.
22:47You think
22:47she's gonna side
22:48with Cain?
22:49Let me just say
22:50whatever the outcome is,
22:52it'll be good
22:52for our family.
22:54Well,
22:55to be honest,
22:55I'm not gonna worry
22:56about what Jill
22:57will or won't do.
22:58Right now,
22:58I'm still trying
22:59to wrap my brain
23:00around this scenario
23:01that you could
23:01actually bring yourself
23:03to work with Jack.
23:07There is no scenario.
23:08What do you mean?
23:12I want Jack to think
23:13that he and I
23:15will work together.
23:18I appreciate you
23:20filling me in
23:20and trying to
23:22calm my fears,
23:23but I'm afraid
23:24you've only heightened them.
23:25I know
23:26what I'm doing.
23:27Divide and conquer?
23:29How so?
23:29We agreed
23:31to try our cases
23:33before Jill
23:34individually
23:35and not together.
23:36I never had
23:37any intention
23:38of bringing him along
23:39to meet with Jill.
23:41I have things
23:42I want to say
23:42to her outside
23:43of Victor's presence.
23:45Yes,
23:45but now you're
23:46creating a scenario
23:47where Victor
23:47can say things
23:48to her outside
23:49of yours.
23:50Let's not kid ourselves.
23:51It's always been that way.
23:53At least this way,
23:54Victor and I
23:55can both impress upon her
23:56how very dangerous
23:58Cain's plan is.
23:59And on that,
24:00we are actually
24:00in agreement.
24:01But Victor Newman,
24:03as a backup,
24:04I don't like it.
24:06I don't like it either.
24:07That's why I am not
24:08counting on him
24:09to save me.
24:11I have a family
24:12that is there for me,
24:13especially my beautiful wife.
24:15Yes, yes,
24:16you've got me.
24:17But Victor
24:18has left you hanging
24:19as to whether
24:20he's on board
24:21with your plan
24:21or not.
24:23And that makes
24:23you vulnerable.
24:25And now Billy
24:25is the one
24:26filling Jill in
24:27on what's going on
24:28with Cain.
24:28he's not exactly
24:29a reliable narrator.
24:31Jack,
24:32I'm just worried
24:34that you're losing
24:34control of the situation.
24:36Do not lose
24:37faith in me.
24:38I'm not losing faith.
24:39I know.
24:40You are scared
24:41and you don't have
24:42to be.
24:43I promise.
24:45All right.
24:47I mean,
24:47I hate to think
24:49that Jill
24:49would go along
24:50with a plan
24:51that could potentially
24:52decimate
24:52Newman,
24:53Jabot,
24:53go and especially
24:54Chancellor.
24:55She's not going
24:55to do that.
24:56She paid far
24:57too dear a price
24:58to save that company.
25:00And she thought
25:01she was protecting
25:02Chancellor from
25:02Billy running it
25:03into the ground.
25:04She yanked it out
25:05from under her son
25:06to protect the company
25:08and that is a decision
25:09that has been
25:10exceedingly painful
25:11for both Jill
25:12and Billy.
25:13She's not going
25:14to let that happen
25:15for no reason.
25:16And I know
25:17that honoring
25:17Catherine's legacy
25:18was also a factor.
25:20Jill's relationship
25:21with Catherine
25:22was every bit
25:22as combative
25:23as it was cordial.
25:25You and Jill
25:26have had your share
25:28of tension as well.
25:30I cannot deny that.
25:32I also know
25:33she loved my father
25:34very much
25:35and she loved
25:37being an Abbott.
25:38Hell,
25:38her name is still Abbott.
25:40No matter how she feels
25:42about Cain,
25:43I cannot believe
25:44she is going to allow
25:45that man to sink
25:47Jabot or Chancellor.
25:52The truth is, Jack,
25:53there's not a lot
25:54you can say
25:54that's going to put
25:55my mind at ease
25:56until this whole business
25:57with Cain is over.
25:59I understand.
26:00I just want you to know
26:01I am very eager
26:02to get on the other side
26:03of this too.
26:04Good.
26:05Do it.
26:06Now,
26:06I have to get to work.
26:08I have a lot to do.
26:09And I was going
26:10to meet Kyle here,
26:11but...
26:12I guess he forgot.
26:14And you're worried
26:15about more than Cain?
26:17Yeah,
26:17he just seems so
26:18despondent this morning.
26:21Why?
26:21What did he say?
26:22Not much.
26:23He's trying to put
26:23on a brave face,
26:24but I know him so well.
26:26He...
26:26He is heartbroken
26:29over losing Claire.
26:31Did something else happen
26:32since yesterday
26:34or something more final?
26:35No,
26:36I don't think so.
26:37I thought he was holding out hope
26:38that she just needed
26:39time and space.
26:40She left the door open.
26:42Jack,
26:42I just feel so guilty.
26:45Wait,
26:46why would you feel guilty?
26:47Because I think
26:48that Kyle feels
26:49that both of us
26:50took Claire's side
26:51when we were trying
26:52to get him
26:53to see the whole situation
26:55from her point of view.
26:57Honey,
26:57my heart goes out
26:58to our son.
27:00But the situation
27:01he is in
27:01is mostly of his making.
27:03Jack?
27:04He's the one
27:05that created
27:05the scenario
27:06that pushed Claire out.
27:08Now he's got to figure
27:09out a way to fix things.
27:10If there is
27:11a way to fix things.
27:14Wait,
27:14why are you looking
27:15at me that way?
27:15Well,
27:16because we're talking
27:16about our son
27:17losing the woman
27:19that he loves
27:20and I'm...
27:21I'm just surprised
27:22to hear you sound
27:23so...
27:24cold.
27:29You know,
27:29it's amazing
27:30to watch you try
27:31to turn this around
27:31on me.
27:32Everyone knows
27:33you hit rock bottom.
27:35You screwed up
27:37and in the process
27:38blew up your life.
27:39It's not me
27:40you're mad at.
27:40Oh,
27:41it's definitely
27:42you I'm mad at.
27:42You're angry at yourself.
27:44You need to accept
27:44responsibility
27:45and accept reality.
27:47Don't talk to me
27:48about taking responsibility.
27:51I have owned up
27:51to my mistakes
27:52and then some.
27:53Oh, right.
27:53You know,
27:54I was a fool
27:55for risking
27:56my relationship
27:57with Nate
27:58thinking I could
27:59control your behavior
28:00when it's you
28:02who can't control
28:02himself around me.
28:04Don't flatter yourself.
28:06Yeah,
28:06you just wanted me
28:07so badly
28:08and you hated
28:09yourself, right?
28:11So,
28:11you turned this
28:12around on me.
28:13You twisted
28:13what happened.
28:14You filled Claire's head
28:15with lie after lie.
28:17Lies that she took
28:18to Nate
28:18and that's why
28:19I'm in this situation.
28:20Yeah, yeah, yeah.
28:20You just keep telling
28:21yourself whatever lies
28:22to make you feel bad.
28:23No,
28:23you're the one
28:24going through life
28:25with blinders on.
28:26You are spoiled,
28:28rotten,
28:28and you live
28:29in this
28:29complete fantasy land.
28:31The only fantasy
28:31I have
28:32is a life
28:33without you in it.
28:34Oh, really, Kyle?
28:35Is that the only
28:36fantasy you have
28:37about me?
28:38Mm-hmm.
28:39That's your problem.
28:40You just can't accept
28:41how much you wanted me
28:43and still do.
28:44Someone's so beneath you.
28:46Just admit it.
28:48You're pathetic.
28:49You know,
28:50you told Claire
28:51that we kissed Denise,
28:53but you made it
28:54sound so innocent.
28:56Like it was just
28:57some peck
28:57on the cheek.
28:59Did she tell her
28:59how little clothing
29:00was involved
29:01or how long
29:02that kiss lasted
29:03or where it happened
29:04on your bed?
29:06And did you tell
29:06Nate the same?
29:08You want to be
29:09in love
29:10in a solid,
29:12stable relationship,
29:13but you can't.
29:14You can try
29:15to catch yourself
29:16like you did
29:17when things were
29:17getting so intense
29:19between us.
29:21But we both know,
29:22Kyle,
29:23how close you were
29:25to taking things
29:29beyond that kiss.
29:35Sorry I'm late.
29:36I'm supposed to be
29:37on a plane right now
29:38to L.A. with Sharon.
29:39I hope this is important.
29:40Son, nothing is more important
29:42than our family
29:44and our company.
29:46I know, Dad,
29:47but I just wish
29:48I knew more
29:49about what was going on
29:50every time I asked
29:51you, you tell me
29:51not to worry about it
29:52and that you've
29:52got it handled.
29:53And I have it handled,
29:54but when I ask
29:55you to come...
29:56It's with good reason.
29:58I'm sure it is.
29:59I'm just anxious
30:00to see my boy.
30:01Sounds like he needs
30:02my advice.
30:04I need yours.
30:06We're about to
30:07embark upon an all-out war
30:08against Cain Ashby.
30:11And every move
30:12we make from now on
30:13is crucial.
30:14I don't think I'm being
30:20cold about Kyle's
30:21romantic life.
30:22I think I'm being
30:22realistic.
30:23We have found
30:24time and again
30:25that coddling Kyle
30:26is the worst thing
30:28for him.
30:28Oh, that sounds
30:30a bit like an accusation.
30:31Did you or did you not
30:33ask Mrs. Martinez
30:35to serve
30:35braised short ribs
30:37tonight for dinner?
30:38It's Kyle's favorite.
30:39We have taught Kyle
30:42that lessons of the heart
30:43are often the hardest.
30:45And I am not against
30:47Kyle learning
30:48from his mistakes.
30:50I mean,
30:50I've made my fair share
30:52and I am wiser
30:53than most because of it.
30:54Then why are you
30:54feeling guilty
30:55for helping Kyle
30:56see that he made
30:57some real mistakes
30:58in how he dealt
30:59with Claire?
31:00Because I'm his mother.
31:02All right?
31:02And when I see him
31:03in pain,
31:04of course,
31:05I'm going to second-guess
31:07our tough love approach.
31:08Okay, I get it.
31:09I do.
31:09I just worry
31:11that if we
31:11let this go,
31:13if we don't
31:14make a point of it,
31:15he's not going
31:16to get the lesson
31:17from all of this.
31:18But Jack,
31:19don't you see?
31:20Maybe by being tough
31:21we're just making it worse.
31:23I mean,
31:24often his first reaction
31:25to making a mistake
31:27is to lash out.
31:29Well, you're worried
31:30he's going to take out
31:30his anger on Claire?
31:32Not Claire.
31:35Audra
31:35and Holden.
31:37You need to wake up.
31:42I already told you
31:44I was onto you
31:45from the start
31:46that I knew
31:46you were playing me
31:47with this whole
31:48fragrance competition idea.
31:50And if you don't believe me,
31:52ask my parents.
31:54Ask Claire.
31:56Oh, I'm sure
31:57Claire has better things
31:59to do than to answer
32:00my questions.
32:00And I wouldn't want
32:02to interrupt her
32:03during her quality time
32:05with Holden.
32:07Nate actually thanked me
32:08for exposing you
32:10for the vile creature
32:12you are.
32:12I guess he was
32:13holding out hope
32:14that you had
32:14an actual beating ard
32:16somewhere in that chest
32:18of yours.
32:18But I, for one,
32:19never shared
32:20his delusions.
32:21You're stupid, Kyle.
32:24But you're not
32:25an idiot.
32:26Sure, you had doubts
32:27about me
32:28and my perfume war plan.
32:29But the question is
32:31why did you decide
32:32to ignore them, huh?
32:33Why did you leave
32:35your girlfriend
32:36to tend to her
32:36dying sick father
32:38just so you could
32:38entrap me
32:39with champagne cocktails
32:41and near-naked dips
32:42in the pool
32:42on the French Riviera?
32:44What, to prove
32:45something you already knew?
32:46I did that.
32:46You did it
32:47because you loved it.
32:49You love 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 Claire.
32:58That's why both
32:59of those relationships
33:00failed.
33:02Everyone sees it
33:03except you.
33:05When are you
33:06going to accept
33:06the kind of man
33:07you really are?
33:15So the media onslaught
33:17is ready.
33:18You are using
33:19Jack and the
33:20pseudo-alliance
33:21for an as-yet-to-be-revealed
33:23plan that
33:24benefits us
33:25specifically.
33:26That is correct.
33:29Has mom
33:29signed off on this?
33:31Nick is right.
33:33Mom's not going to be
33:33very happy
33:34about you hurting Jack.
33:35Her mother's part
33:36of this family
33:36and she's
33:38CEO of Chancellor.
33:39Those are her priorities.
33:41Well, I'm going to let you
33:42work that out
33:43with her yourself.
33:44I just wish
33:45I knew if all
33:46of Cain's threats
33:47were actually real
33:48or just a bunch of talk.
33:50We're going to find out soon.
33:51I was talking with Dad
33:52before you got here
33:54about my concern
33:55that once we release
33:56this damning information
33:57about Colin
33:58Cain has every reason
34:00to retaliate.
34:01That's a possibility.
34:02If there's even a chance
34:04that Cain has
34:05this AI software program
34:06why provoke him?
34:08Since Cain's come to town
34:10it's been all bark
34:11no bite.
34:12Let's just ignore it.
34:13We're going to ignore it.
34:15Then
34:15Cain asked me
34:17to find out
34:18that my threats
34:18are very serious.
34:23A year ago
34:24I may not have said this
34:25but I'd like to think now
34:26Kyle has his head on straight
34:28and is not going to react
34:30in the heat of the moment.
34:31Jack
34:31you just finished 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
34:36with Claire.
34:39I'm just hoping
34:40he finally has some control
34:41of his other
34:42impulses.
34:43Well, that's easier
34:44said than done.
34:46I don't know
34:46what this Holden
34:47character's agenda
34:48is all about
34:49but you know
34:50that I have almost
34:51come to blows
34:52with Audra myself.
34:53Almost?
34:54I would
34:55respectfully ask
34:57that you show
34:58the same restraint
34:59that we require
34:59of our son.
35:01Another conflict
35:02with Audra
35:02is not going
35:03to help anything.
35:10Hi there.
35:12Hey.
35:13How are you
35:14holding up?
35:15When I saw you
35:16at the house
35:17this morning
35:17you didn't seem
35:18yourself?
35:20You're right,
35:20Mom.
35:21I haven't been
35:22myself.
35:23Should have seen
35:24this coming.
35:25How so?
35:28Claire's decision
35:29sandbagged me.
35:30Knocked me off
35:31my balance
35:32but I'm back
35:32on my feet.
35:34What does
35:34that mean?
35:36I'm ready to fight.
35:37Here you go.
35:47Will Nate
35:48be joining you?
35:49I am flying
35:50solo today.
35:52Oh,
35:52you know what?
35:53I am literally
35:54flying solo.
35:55I'm on my way
35:56to see Noah.
35:58How is Noah?
35:59Good.
36:00You know,
36:01his nightclub
36:02in London
36:02is doing so well
36:03he might open
36:04one up in L.A.
36:05Good for him.
36:08Yeah,
36:08it sounds like
36:09he found his
36:09passion.
36:10You should see
36:11him in the club.
36:12He's just so
36:13in his element.
36:14Yeah,
36:15I remember
36:16he had a
36:16flair for it
36:17here as well.
36:19He doesn't
36:19miss his art.
36:21Doesn't seem to.
36:22He has a very
36:23full life.
36:24He and Ali
36:25are so happy
36:26they're head
36:27over heels
36:27in love.
36:28I was just
36:34talking to
36:34your father
36:35about this.
36:36We just
36:37don't want
36:38your anger,
36:39which is
36:39just another
36:40way of expressing
36:41your hurt feelings
36:42to get
36:42the best of you.
36:44Like I said,
36:45I found my
36:46balance again.
36:47Well,
36:48I hope
36:49that's the case.
36:49You were pretty
36:50upset yesterday
36:51about this
36:51breakup.
36:52Shouldn't I be?
36:53Well,
36:53of course
36:54you should be.
36:54We're not
36:55trying to tell
36:56you how to
36:56feel.
36:57We just
36:58want you
36:58to be careful.
36:59Any choice
37:00you make right
37:00now is going
37:01to be based
37:01more on raw
37:02instinct than
37:03rational thought.
37:05Claire said
37:05I was overthinking
37:06things.
37:07I think she
37:07was right.
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
37:17and see what
37:18happens with Claire.
37:19So are you
37:20making the choice
37:21to move on?
37:22Oh, absolutely
37:23not.
37:23What I mean
37:24is I'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
37:33and when I
37:34get there,
37:35I'll do
37:35whatever it
37:35takes to
37:36win Claire
37:36back.
37:38Son,
37:39I know
37:39that you're
37:40anxious to
37:40head off
37:40to LA.
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
37:54tell him
37:55to inform
37:56the IT team
37:57to watch
37:57for any
37:58abnormalities.
37:59We cannot
38:00let that slip
38:00by.
38:01We've updated
38:02the firewall
38:02program and
38:03we have the
38:03best cyber
38:04defense that
38:04money can
38:05buy,
38:05even though
38:06we don't
38:07know that
38:07Kane's AI
38:08program is
38:08even real.
38:09Well,
38:10we'll soon
38:10find out,
38:11won't we?
38:12You know,
38:14I have a feeling
38:15this is all
38:16going to
38:17start very
38:20quickly and
38:20very soon.
38:23Kane Ashley
38:23has been
38:24planning this
38:24for a long
38:25time,
38:26but he
38:27doesn't know
38:27what he's
38:27up against.
