00:00So of course I follow both of your children on social media, although I have
00:06to tell you they make me feel like I'm out of the loop. Oh my gosh, tell me
00:09about it. Your children are out there in the world, they're working hard, they're
00:13having adventures. So brave and so confident. Does it remind you of anyone?
00:18Like your daughter? Colleen would have loved your children. Maddie would be her
00:24favorite person on the planet. Next to you, of course. Yeah, it would have been
00:29nights for Maddie to have someone trustworthy to confide in, and Colleen
00:32would have given her advice about things just like she did with me even though I
00:35thought I never needed it. Tracey, I'm sorry. I mean, if it's too painful to talk
00:43about Colleen. No, never. I love it. Always. I don't get to talk about her enough.
00:53Don't worry about any of this. It's just that there are hardly any people that
00:57that know her as well as you do or that have these memories with her.
01:00Yeah. My beautiful, creative, intelligent friend. She was all of that. She was.
01:08And I am so grateful to have had her in my life, even though it was just so brief. But
01:14it helps you know how precious our children are. Yeah, I mean, they mean everything, right?
01:20Yeah. And distance is really hard. Yeah. Mine won't even come home for Christmas.
01:26What? Is it like work schedules or something? I told them I would meet them somewhere.
01:32Anywhere, you know, but they said maybe next year.
01:35Lily, is this about Cain? I'm sure. I mean, there's no communication, right? And I feel like it's partly my fault,
01:45because I feel like I've done everything wrong when it comes to Cain and the kids.
01:48Okay. Lily, listen. Do you remember when Colleen was in her rebellious phase? She rebelled against
01:55me and her dad, and then both of us, and she moved in with her Uncle Jack for a while?
02:01During that whole time, the love was always there, and she always, always came back.
02:07I know. I know. You're right. You're right. I'm just, I'm...
02:10I'm not going to give up. I'll give it another chance. Of course you're not going to give up.
02:16Now, the situation with Cain, you do have a little bit of control over. So how are things going between
02:21the two of you? Oh gosh, it is very messy and confusing. Oh, that's so much better than bitter
02:27and angry. Yeah. I mean, you know, I kept my distance for a while. And that's changed?
02:34I mean, things have gotten even more complicated. I can send money or arrange for tickets.
02:47Anything to get you two home for Christmas. To be with Mom. Uh, don't worry, I won't be randomly
02:54showing up or angling for a visit. I just don't want to be the reason that you three don't spend the
03:00week together. So, uh, text me back. Let me know. Okay? I'll make it happen.
03:14Knock, knock. Is it a bad time? And if it is? Well, if it is, I apologize.
03:22Can I come in? Walking into enemy territory. That, uh, that takes brass.
03:31It does. I know. I know it takes brass. Thank you. What do you want, Phyllis?
03:46Hey, bud. I know you weren't happy going on lockdown with
04:16Sienna, but we were right going on high alert. Matt is definitely back in town. We have the
04:21security footage to prove it. Now is not the time to go radio silent. I need you to get in touch
04:27with me or your mother and absolutely keep a low profile until we can get you back on the ranch.
04:33Call me. Turns out stress baking doesn't always reduce stress, but maybe sugar will help.
04:40Something has to. So, Noah hasn't returned any of your messages?
04:46No. And he's made his point. You know, all that talk about being an adult and showing Sienna around.
04:53He is not afraid of Matt. Well, he should be. Matt is a maniac. And I want Noah home now.
05:08I want Noah home now.
05:15Sienna?
05:24Sienna?
05:25Okay, let's talk about that. What's happening with you and Kane? I mean, are you talking to each other more?
05:41Not on purpose, at least. You're talking accidentally? That's interesting.
05:46Well, we'll run into each other, you know, and we'll start talking. And sometimes it makes me crazy. And other times he's very entertaining and convincing.
05:58Convincing about what?
05:59Well, he convinced me to take him to the Abbott Communications launch party.
06:04Wait, he was your date and I missed him.
06:06No, no. He was not my date. He was my plus one. And you know how the night ended.
06:12With Newman Media's attack piece.
06:17I'm just so sorry I missed Billy's big night. But there had to have been some celebrating, right?
06:21Yeah, for a while. Definitely.
06:23But he had to have been really convincing to get you to agree.
06:26Or I was very weak.
06:29Why did you say yes?
06:31I don't know. He was funny and, you know, not brooding like he was as Dumas. I feel like since
06:39his company fell apart, he's been lighter. I just felt easier to be around him, kind of like how it used to be.
06:44And that's disorienting, isn't it? I mean, to be reminded of the past when you have fought so
06:49hard to forget it. But you really did have a special relationship.
06:53Yeah. Well, we've been through a lot together. My cancer, the baby's coming early, the chaos of
07:00his family. I mean, not that mine was calm, but-
07:03And you did all of that together.
07:05Yeah. Until it all fell apart.
07:08Lily, I think every relationship sort of has its own evolution. The two of you are very connected.
07:17Because of your kids, because of your marriage. And even when you're furious with him, he's still in
07:23your thoughts. Just why does he have to be so charming and funny suddenly?
07:30He was always charming and funny.
07:32Yeah, but he could also be selfish and hurtful.
07:35Yeah. And we all are that way too, from time to time.
07:41Okay. Now you're being rational.
07:42I know. How can I do that? And it's Christmas and everything.
07:45It's terrible.
07:47Oh, Lily, I just want you to find a way to give yourself a break. Seriously. It is okay to laugh
07:53and have fun. And even with a charming jerk who gave you two beautiful children,
07:59real happiness in life is so rare. And it needs to be cherished. And I want you
08:05to be able to enjoy it when it comes along.
08:10Well, I think that you're very challenging.
08:13God bless us, everyone.
08:15Yeah, you're doing your damnedest to just yank me around all the time, aren't you?
08:23Like that kiss out of nowhere.
08:25Out of nowhere.
08:25Out of nowhere. Really.
08:26Okay, well, I'm not done.
08:27Is that all you think I was doing?
08:28I'm not done.
08:29Okay, well then by all means.
08:30I think we are the same.
08:32Okay.
08:32We see life the same way.
08:37Too much is never enough for us.
08:41Yeah, some people might see that level of entitlement as narcissism.
08:44Well, I think some people are stupid. I think some people care about labels.
08:49And I don't. I'm a doer. I make things happen. So, here I am.
08:54Yeah, and I still don't know why.
08:56We should be friends.
09:00Compadres.
09:00Yeah.
09:03Pals.
09:05You were done with me, Phyllis.
09:08I was done with you.
09:11Forever.
09:13And now suddenly you just want to be pals.
09:19Yeah, I have a gift for you.
09:21Yeah, no thank you.
09:21All right, take it. It's the holiday. It's a gift. Take it.
09:25Is it ticking?
09:26Well, maybe.
09:27So, you better open it or else we're going to self-destruct in 10 seconds.
09:36What is it? Blunt force murder weapon?
09:40Uh, no. It's a puzzle for a man who likes puzzles and mazes.
09:48Well, that's intriguing.
09:49You can take it apart.
09:51So, you could try to put it back together again.
09:53Yeah, I don't try. I just do.
09:55Well, it's trickier than it looks. All good things are.
09:59Look, here I am empty-handed. I don't have a gift for you.
10:03Okay, Santa.
10:05I'll just whisper something in your ear, and you can make magic happen.
10:09Noah, please call me or your father. We need to know that you're okay.
10:21You're as worried as I am, aren't you?
10:23I mean, he said he could take care of himself.
10:26Well, the last time that Noah didn't answer, it was because Matt had him locked up.
10:30Well, he was recovering then. He's like 100% now.
10:34The options are, he's ignoring us because he knows that we're trying to keep him safe, or
10:41because Matt got to him again.
10:43Look, he probably just wanted to show Cena around, spend some time with this woman he cares about.
10:48That happens.
10:49This is ridiculous.
10:51I know. How about if I just go track him down myself?
10:54Oh, and then you'll run straight into Matt yourself. Perfect.
10:57Can't think like that, okay? We can't let Matt think that he's got the upper hand here because he doesn't.
11:02I've got traps set for him all over town.
11:05That doesn't mean Noah is safe out there. Neither are you.
11:09All right, how about this? I promise you I will keep in touch with you constantly, okay?
11:13It's Noah. Hey, your mom and I were hoping to hear from you.
11:21Is Sienna there? Is she with me?
11:23No, son. We thought she was with you.
11:25She's not. I don't know where she is.
11:36Noah, I'm putting you on speakerphone.
11:39Noah, tell us what happened.
11:41I took Sienna to the park.
11:43What? Why would you do that? I made it clear that I want you to stay here where you will be safe.
11:49I just wanted us to feel like normal people for five minutes.
11:52Ever since I was run off the road, life has been one nightmare after another.
11:55And so you put yourself at risk for yet another one by running off?
11:59Okay, can we not do this right now, Mom? I screwed up. I shouldn't have left.
12:03I wanted to show Sienna around and obviously that was a stupid idea because I've lost her.
12:07He's right. Now's not the time. Just tell us what happened.
12:09I don't know exactly. Someone bashed me on the back of the head and knocked me out.
12:13I woke up. Sienna was gone.
12:15Noah, is there any chance that Sienna is the one who knocked you out?
12:20No, that's insane.
12:21I'm not saying that she wanted to hurt you, but if she wanted to leave town and she didn't think
12:25that you would let her, then maybe- She wouldn't have left me on the ground unconscious.
12:29I don't see that either.
12:31Okay, you're both right. Are you at the park?
12:34Is your head okay? Should we call an ambulance?
12:36We can come and get you.
12:37No, I'm okay. I got out of there. Came to Crimson Lights, figured it was safer to be in public.
12:42That's good thinking.
12:43But Sienna, we have to find her. It was- It was mad. It has to be.
12:47All right? He has her. I know it. He didn't even have the guts to face us.
12:50You're right. This isn't just about him grabbing her. That's not his MO. This is all part of a bigger plan.
12:56We have to find them both before he hurts her, before he- Before he kills her.
12:59Noah, just stay put.
13:02Your mom and I are on the way.
13:07Do you remember when you and Colleen moved back here after you and Steve split up?
13:12I do. And I- I think I know where you're going with this. Um, eventually, Steve and I got back
13:18together and Colleen was not happy about it. One thing I know for sure, Kane is not Steve. And we're not
13:28talking about a reunion, are we? Are we? I thought we were just talking about you allowing yourself to
13:35be comfortable being around Kane. I mean, that's what I meant. Are we talking about a reunion?
13:40No. No, no, no. No. Of course not.
13:43Well then, why is it a bad thing for you to find him entertaining and enjoy chatting with him?
13:49No, I'm just more surprised by my own reactions than anything. That's okay. It's good to surprise
13:55ourselves from time to time. I mean, I think it's a gift, you know? Otherwise, we'd get bored.
14:02Thank you, by the way, for all the sweet advice, when I know the Abbots have enough on their plates
14:06right now. Victor. Yeah, and Adam, and Newman Media. Well, so much for a peaceful Christmas.
14:14Is Jabot going to be okay? No thanks to Victor's media ambush. Jack and Diane are working very hard to
14:21keep everything afloat, as is Kyle and Billy too. I'm so sorry, Tracy. I am. Like, I really feel like
14:30when my dad was working for Victor, it's like, even though Victor was obsessed with winning,
14:35he kind of knew how to keep him in check, you know? But it's like, now he's gone, and my ex is the
14:41reason why Victor holds all the cards right now. You know, I don't know what it is. Is it age or mortality
14:48that makes Victor feel like this is his big chance to take down Jack and Jabot? But I don't blame Kane.
14:58If it wasn't the computer program, Victor would have found another way.
15:02Yeah, but not this lethal. I mean, this whole AI thing is because of Dumas. And when I think about
15:08that, I don't know how Kane can ever rectify the damage that he's caused.
15:12You know, there's something about you, Phyllis. Yeah, I've heard. When you drop your voice,
15:20you get that look in your eye. What look? That look. When I realize that you're about to work me over.
15:29No. I'm not working you over. I gave you a gift. I gave you a gift.
15:36I regret walking away from you. You hate mind games and the back and forth, yet here you are,
15:50trying to get me back on the scoreboard.
15:54Yeah, Kane. Oh, come on. We make a good team. You know that. Who else are you going to find in this
16:01town who is as ambitious and passionate as I am? Passionate or desperate?
16:08Desperate. Really? You know what? The only people who make fun of desperation are the people who have
16:17never had to scrap and save and fight for what they want. You know what? It's a thing that, you know,
16:25motivates me in the morning. My desperation. I was supposed to be at the top of my game with Chancellor,
16:32then Abbott Communications, and then freaking Arabesque. Forget about Jabot. Yeah, Jabot. You know,
16:38I could have been living large right now, but right now, what do I have? I have nothing. I have nothing at all.
16:43So, that's why I have come here, um, with humility, with my hat in my hand, and,
16:59yeah, desperation. I think that the two of us together are the answer.
17:05You didn't think that a week ago. No, I didn't, because you caved to Lily.
17:08I mean, we could have been both at the top of our game as well, and, and you went soft.
17:20I need you, and I think you know you need me too.
17:26Cain certainly has made a mess of things. Um, I think that's a very nice way to put it.
17:40I can't even imagine how that conversation went when he gave the order to create
17:43the world's most insidious programming weapon. Yeah, to show everyone how powerful he could be.
17:49But? Is there a but? When there's something this dangerous?
17:54When he found out the program was stolen, he went to Jack, and he warned him.
17:58Yeah, because of course it was Victor who ended up with it, and he knew he would go after Jabot.
18:03But the warning, it made a difference. Yeah, but does he deserve credit for that? It was still his fault.
18:10Okay, I understand. But don't you think Cain knows he's made a mistake?
18:14Well, he always realizes it after the fact. So are we talking about the present?
18:19Or the past? We're talking about Cain.
18:24Whom you used to love deeply. Yes, I know I did, because he had decency in him.
18:31He would have done anything for me and the kids, you know? He was a good man.
18:35Do you think he's still a good man? I mean, would a good man create something this vicious?
18:40Okay. Good people make dangerous things because they think they can control it.
18:45Yeah, and he was wrong. Come now, come. But, but, is the decency still there?
18:54I mean, I don't know, but I think it doesn't matter.
18:57Oh, Lily, you know that's not the truth.
19:00Forgiveness doesn't do anybody any good if it comes too late.
19:04And the same can be said for love. And at my age, believe me, none of us has any time to waste.
19:16I'm guessing that awesome deal of yours fell through then, huh?
19:21Um, if you would like to gloat, go ahead. I'll let you gloat. Yes, yes.
19:27And, um, I'm here, empty-handed, cupboards are bare.
19:31Victor double-crossed you. Now you're here, asking to team up with the guy that you robbed.
19:37Uh, we're perfect for each other, you know? It'll work because, uh, we know the worst of each other.
19:44That's a positive for you?
19:45Yeah, we know what's up with the other one, you know? It's, it's, uh, we save wasted energy.
19:50Let me ask you a question. Why would two people who don't trust each other team up together?
19:54Hmm. That is a good question. Yeah.
19:57That is a very good question. I'm going to tell you why. Uh, because we know what we're capable of.
20:05So, um, we understand what we have to do. It keeps us on our toes. We understand the task at hand.
20:11I can do that on my own.
20:12Okay, but you, you leave yourself open for attack.
20:14Attack? Phyllis, you're the one that attacked me.
20:17Really? You want to dwell on that? You want to keep on bringing that up? That little detail
20:22that I attacked you? Really? Oh, I'm sorry.
20:26No, you don't have to be sorry. Because we're a perfect team. We have comparable ambition.
20:34Nobody has your level of ambition.
20:37You don't think I bring enough to the table, do you?
20:39No, quite the opposite, Phyllis. I'm, I'm, I'm wondering what I could possibly have left.
20:45That could be of any use to you.
20:50Noah. Noah, are you okay?
20:51Do you have any headache? Any nausea?
20:53Have you heard from Sienna? Oh, could you get me some ice in a towel? Thank you. We have got to get you into bed.
20:59No, Sienna is in trouble.
21:01And I will find her. Okay.
21:02Okay. No, no, no, no, no. You are in no condition to come with me. Thank you so much.
21:07Thank you. Noah, please don't argue right now. You've just recovered from the car crash.
21:12Yes, and I shouldn't have left the ranch. And I'm the reason that Matt found Sienna and me. I know all of this.
21:17The only person giving you a hard time right now is you, all right? We all want the same thing.
21:22And that's for you to be safe and for Matt to be out of our lives.
21:24All I want is to find Sienna. I know you do.
21:28Where do we even look?
21:29Did Matt have connections here that we didn't know about? Where did he live?
21:32Noah, slow down. We don't even know if you have a concussion.
21:36Matt has Sienna.
21:37Okay, and he could be dragging her back to Los Angeles or anywhere.
21:41If he gets her out of town now, I might never see her again.
21:52Do you ever worry that maybe you give people more credit than they deserve?
21:56I have. And that person turned out to be pure evil.
22:02Tracy, I'm sorry. Forget I said anything, honestly.
22:04No, no, honey. No, no. It's okay. It's like talking about Colleen.
22:09People won't even mention Martin's name to me. Our scars are a part of us.
22:16Our scars make us who we are. And life is about learning how to live with them and learning how to
22:21go on and be brave enough to try again. Do you ever think you'll fall in love again?
22:28I think that's complicated, but if it comes, it comes. I will tell you a little secret, though.
22:38When I'm writing, I fall in love with every single one of my characters.
22:43And when they fall in love with each other, I feel it. I feel the butterflies and the nervousness and the hope.
22:55Well, what about when your characters break each other's hearts?
22:58I feel that, too. But I know that there is always going to be another chapter, even if I don't write it.
23:07It's what keeps me open to possibility. That there's always a chance that they will fall in love again.
23:15Maybe even with each other.
23:16Tracy.
23:17No, anything is possible, my sweet friend.
23:25You said that you could forgive me for stealing the software. That's what you said.
23:29In theory.
23:30In theory. Well, let's start there.
23:32Why? Why would I do that?
23:33Oh, please. Cain, let's not dwell on who did what to whom.
23:39Well, you did the what. I'm the whom. Me. I care for them.
23:43I didn't gut arabesque. That wasn't me. Look at the real culprit. Who's the real enemy here?
23:49Yeah, I know. It's Victor.
23:50Yeah, it's Victor. You're going to accept defeat from Victor?
23:55No.
23:56Good. So let me help you.
23:59Help me with what?
24:01Get payback. Not to mention money and power.
24:05In that order?
24:06Yeah, in that order. Maybe.
24:09We need to get our priorities straight. I mean, you want what you want.
24:13Right? I want what I want.
24:16Listen, let's not waste any time hating each other. It's so boring.
24:21I mean, I would rather team up with you.
24:24This, going for what we want, seems like it would be a lot more fun, right?
24:30What's your plan?
24:34Is that your version of yes?
24:35Matt may have schemes and plans in Los Angeles, but he's got no power here.
24:41Your father's right. Matt can't just kidnap Sienna and sneak out of town. He doesn't have any resources.
24:49You're the ones who told me what a psycho he is. You can't just change it up now that Sienna is missing.
24:53He knows everything, that we know who he is, that Sienna and I are together. His funds are cut off, yeah, but what does he have to lose?
25:01When you're dealing with someone like Matt, it is instinctive to think the worst, but I don't think we're there yet, Noah, right?
25:07You thought of something, didn't you?
25:10Did you, Nick?
25:11Yeah, but you're not going to like it.
25:14Tell me.
25:16What if Matt didn't take her? What if Sienna went with him willingly?
25:20Why do you keep assuming the worst of her? All right, she's in danger. She didn't knock me out.
25:24She didn't run away with Matt.
25:25We know you have feelings for her.
25:27I love her.
25:28But can we completely rule out that these two have been playing the long game?
25:32Yes, I can.
25:33Look, son, we think that we have wiped Matt out. What if we're wrong about that?
25:37What if Sienna has stashed away some money, enough that they can go and start a new life somewhere else?
25:42Why would she run off with me?
25:44I don't know, but maybe it's part of the bigger plan, you know, to infiltrate the family.
25:48Sienna's already been out to the ranch.
25:49No, no, Dad, stop, okay? This is a waste of time. I won't listen to this.
25:52Okay, I know her, and there's no way in hell that's possible.
25:55And if you don't want to believe me, then I don't need or want your help. I'll find it myself.
26:04It's a new color.
26:05Give me the phone.
26:08Hello.
26:09Hey there, friend.
26:11Miss me?
26:19I am so glad we got to do this.
26:21I am too, Lily. So much.
26:23And I hope you know, I'm always just a phone call or a text away.
26:28Honey, I have a whole room in my heart filled with memories of you and Colleen.
26:35I'm so grateful to still have you in my life in this way.
26:38I feel the same way.
26:39I mean, it's not fair that we have the people that we love so much taken so early, but the fact that we can have conversations like this, especially this time of year, it really helps.
26:50It is pretty bittersweet.
26:52The things we celebrate and then the people and the moments that we miss.
27:01Are you talking about Cain?
27:02Am I?
27:03Oh, God.
27:04Okay, maybe I am.
27:06But it's only because you are acting so torn about all of this, I'm just afraid that you're going to debate with yourself and you'll never, ever be able to resolve the issue.
27:14And that's nowhere to be.
27:17I know, I mean, I do miss when we were a family, we were happy, you know, but then I can't forget how it all fell apart either, right? How we fell apart.
27:29Okay, Lily, I'm not asking you to go against your head or your heart.
27:34I'm just thinking maybe if you take the man he is today, a man who has made some mistakes and has some regrets, maybe he has learned from them.
27:47I mean, it would be good for the kids if their parents got along.
27:50And good for the parents too.
27:53Wait, we were talking about me spending time with Cain, now you're talking about love? I feel like you're tricking me.
27:58I would never.
28:02But Colleen might.
28:04So, maybe we'll just say Colleen was in charge of this conversation.
28:08Tracy, I love you.
28:10I love you right back.
28:12I knew you'd see sense.
28:18I'm a sucker for puzzles.
28:20See, but I can read you. I know you. I can see inside your mind.
28:24And together, this just makes sense.
28:27What kind of together?
28:29Well, that's open for discussion.
28:32Equal partners?
28:33Yeah, equal. Except for, you know, the days that you want to be on top.
28:37Would that work?
28:41We'll give it a try.
28:42What happens if you decide to fire me on my day off?
28:44Well, then you could just unfire yourself the next day.
28:48Right. Okay.
28:49Well, equal partners it is.
28:50Mm-hmm.
28:50What's your plan, fellas?
28:54I'm gonna steal that AI software back.
28:57Okay. That easy, huh?
28:58Yeah, that easy.
29:02And then we take over Newman Enterprises.
29:04Okay, good. Well, I'm glad to see you're keeping things simple and realistic.
29:08Like any of that is hard?
29:09I'm sure you could do that in your sleep. Why do you need me?
29:14Because we're a good team.
29:16And because you could take over the divisions and Newman Enterprises that bore me, that I'm not good at.
29:24Or you need me to be the fall guy, in case your plan flatlines.
29:27It's not gonna flatline. That's why you have to make sure it stays very, very alive.
29:36If you hurt Sienna.
29:37If I hurt Sienna, what? What are you gonna do?
29:40You gonna kill me, Noah?
29:43Your violent instincts, they come from the Newman side.
29:46Where is she?
29:47You should keep better track of your woman.
29:49No, she's not my woman. Unlike you, I don't think it's Sienna's property.
29:53And yet you've misplaced her.
29:55She'd duck out on you. She can do that, you know.
29:59You think she's just having a drink with a friend or working late,
30:01but really she's canoodling with a much younger man in a hotel room.
30:04When exactly, Noah, did you decide to go after my wife?
30:08Was it love at first sight or was it more like a slow burn?
30:11Because I get it.
30:13That tough girl act. I mean, yeah, it's just an act, but...
30:16Man, Sienna can really get under a man's skin.
30:20What have you done to her?
30:22Was it because your parents just bounced from lover to lover, from affair to affair?
30:25Did they just phrase you to think that that's what people do?
30:28Because it's not Noah. And it's a shame you never learned that.
30:30Sienna. It was all me. And not Sienna. So let her go and take me instead.
30:38Only a coward would knock me out without ever looking me in the eye.
30:40Someone knocked you out? Oh, heavens.
30:43Wasn't me. I'll give you the chance.
30:46Trade me for Sienna. Then you and I can handle this on our own. Just the two of us.
30:51Leave my family alone, you hear me?
31:00I'll give you the chance to see you in the eye.
31:14Hi. Hello.
31:16I'm, uh, nudging Michael to help us.
31:19Oh. Well, you are relentless in the best possible way.
31:25Chabot means everything to Jack.
31:27Not everything.
31:28Jack's family has always been the most important thing to him.
31:33True. And since I'm now an abbot, I'm not about to let Victor hurt Jack or anyone else in this family.
31:40Well, how wonderful to have you on our side.
31:43Okay. If Ashley said that, I'd think she was being a little snarky.
31:47Yeah, she would have her own special twist, I'm sure. But in a situation like this, Diane, I think she would really mean it this time.
31:55Well, when you've been out in the cold for so long, being part of a family finally makes you feel like it's worth it to put everything on the line.
32:04Yeah. Jack is such a good man. And he has so much integrity. And he still has his fight, but he fights fair.
32:12And sometimes people don't deserve that. So I just want to even the odds.
32:17And this time you're doing it legally.
32:20On the up and up.
32:22That should be commended.
32:23Okay. There's no halo on my head. But you know what? If I could find a way to stick it to Victor, less legally, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
32:32You know what, Diane? I think you might be the fighter this family needs. I hope you know how lucky we are to have you.
32:41You know, I redid the house as a thank you to the abbots. A way to belong. Who knew all I needed to do was fight like hell?
32:54Be yourself, in other words.
32:55Well, it sounds like that. And the house is fantastic, you have to admit.
33:00Oh, Diane, come here.
33:04Listen, it is our new mission to now embrace the season. We need to be joyful and to hold each other close.
33:14And to always remember that it is really important to fight for the things that matter most.
33:20Yeah. Happy Christmas, Diane.
33:22You too, Triss. Thank you.
33:25Why would you do that? I don't even know if CNN is still alive.
33:32Matt wants to make you suffer. There's no way he's ever going to give you any hope or reassurances.
33:37This isn't your fight.
33:38Oh, yes, it is. It belonged to me and your father long before you were born.
33:43We need to get Grandpa's team on this. Try to find a way to track the location of this phone.
33:47Just slow down.
33:48No, slow down.
33:49Hey, look, if you're not going to try to help me.
33:50What is it you think I'm trying to do, son?
33:52All right, Matt wants you to suffer like everyone else in this family.
33:56He wants Sienna to worry about you the way you are about her,
33:58but he's not going to do anything to her because that will remove his leverage.
34:01How do we find her before he decides to change his mind and just...
34:04He won't. He won't.
34:06Okay, I can't take that chance.
34:07Won't we force his hand now and not later? Give me your phone.
34:10Dick.
34:11It's okay. I got this.
34:12Did Mommy give you back your phone?
34:22It's me.
34:23Oh. Hello, Daddy.
34:25Detective Burrow is in Genoa City now. He's working with the GCPD. Now, you may have a lot of cops
34:31out in LA in your pocket, but you're not going to be able to buy any of them here.
34:34Listen to you, all strong and powerful.
34:36I actually think I hear some panic in that voice of yours, Matt, but it doesn't have to be like that.
34:42Did you just call me back to act like the tough guy?
34:45I'm calling to give you a chance. I want to make a deal.
34:54You know, uh, running Newman Enterprises does sound nice in theory, but...
35:00I mean, does it leave time for, like, watching Sunset or hobbies, learning a new language?
35:07Like, I mean, look at this. I haven't even started this thing yet.
35:10You want to watch the sunset? Who are you going to do that with?
35:14Who are you going to do that puzzle with? Your kids? Lily?
35:20Kane, you don't have anyone. When you gave up your ambition, that's what happened.
35:28You are totally alone.
35:29I have my self-respect.
35:32I mean, does self-respect run Newman Enterprises?
35:35I think you'd have more self-respect when you're doing that.
35:38With my partner.
35:41Yeah. With your partner.
35:45Just you and me, Aristotle.
35:47Don't call me that. That's not me.
35:50It's not? Really?
35:52Well, I think it could be you.
35:58It should be you.
36:07Why don't you let Aristotle come out and play?
36:10Do you want to take over the world with me?
36:26Do you want to take over the world with me?
36:30Join us again for the Young and the Restless.
