FunTranscript
00:00Yeah, it's not like I have a job to get to or anything.
00:04It's not a day, just stating a fact.
00:09Johnny and Katie got it first. It was the only one left on the lot.
00:12Yeah, well, I'm not a fan of holidays, but I can kind of relate to the misfit sapling.
00:19Glad someone gave it a chance.
00:21Well, hold on to that mustard seed of holiday spirit for one more second.
00:28Merry belated Christmas.
00:30I thought we had an unspoken agreement. No exchanging gifts.
00:36I know, but I missed you on Christmas, and I just, I couldn't resist.
00:40When did you even have time to go Christmas shopping with all you got going on?
00:44Well, when it matters, you make time.
00:47You have no idea what it means to hear you say that.
00:51Especially today.
00:53Audra, what is it?
00:58Hey.
01:00I thought you took off to work after I saw you earlier.
01:03It's a beautiful day to stay inside.
01:05Yeah, well, it's pretty chilly, but I can't argue that.
01:09Besides, if I had gone straight to the office, I wouldn't have run into you.
01:12And I owe you an apology for running out on our breakfast date.
01:16No need.
01:17I, I get why you bolted after that run-in with Audra, but I, uh, I just never got to ask you if you were okay.
01:26Well, it might have been a little bit extreme, throwing that glass of water in her face.
01:31And I know I should regret it.
01:34Well, you seem pretty content.
01:35I am.
01:36Really?
01:38Someone had to shut her up, and it felt good to be the one to do it.
01:41I'm, I'm.
01:42I'm.
01:42I'm.
01:45I'm.
02:16You know what they say about a watched paw, Jack?
02:21I'm just checking that the ringer is on.
02:23Yeah, I'm sure you are.
02:25Gotta be honest, the longer it goes without Nikki getting back to you,
02:28the less faith I have that she's gonna come to our side and get that program from Victor.
02:32It is the holidays.
02:34Family is every bit as important to Nikki as it is to me.
02:36She's probably focusing all of her attention on Claire and Victoria.
02:41This is their first Christmas without Cole.
02:43I get that. I don't regret she was supporting her family.
02:45But every hour that goes by with the Bowen Flux is $100,000 that evaporates.
02:50I am well aware of that.
02:52So is Nikki.
02:53Yeah, she's a mother, she's a grandmother, but she's also a CEO of a major corporation.
02:57She knows that a company in crisis doesn't just stop because we're celebrating the new year.
03:03New year. Well, well, well, well. I'll be there for the new year.
03:06You know, have someone bring in the band, strike up Auld Lang Syne.
03:12Because 2026 is going to be a hell of a year, you know.
03:24Nothing's happened.
03:25Yeah, I just feel bad I don't have a present for you.
03:28Well, that's not why I got it for you.
03:31I just saw something you would like, and I wanted you to have it.
03:34Oh, I don't know what to say.
03:37Okay, well, would you open it already?
03:38I'm hoping it'll put a smile on your face, and it's been a really long time since I've seen one of those.
03:43Well, I can't stand the suspense.
03:50Oh, my God.
03:53I can't believe you did this.
03:55That was a smile that I was hoping to see.
03:57I mean, how did you even get it?
03:58The waiting list is like a mile long.
04:00Well, I still have connections in the fashion world.
04:02Yeah, I've had my eye on this forever.
04:05Yeah, I know.
04:06And you resisted buying it until you got the Bronte off the ground.
04:09Yeah, it was going to be a gift to myself once the company launched.
04:14Well, you deserve to have it regardless.
04:17So use it in good health.
04:20Yeah, I don't think anyone's ever done something so thoughtful for me.
04:24Like, I just, I wish I had something for you.
04:27Stop.
04:28You've already given me the best gift ever.
04:31Our friendship.
04:31Well, you definitely have that.
04:36I just, you have no idea what this means to me, especially today.
04:43Why are you looking at me like that?
04:52I'm just thinking how much you've changed since we first met.
04:55Why?
04:56Because I threw a glass of water at Audra and I'm not sorry about it?
04:59Is that really so out of character given how she's harassed me nonstop lately?
05:03I think you had a front row seat to her slapping me because I pointed out how jealous she is of anyone who's happy.
05:08Well, and I had to pull you apart when you tried to choke her for that.
05:11Eye for an eye.
05:13I'm not saying that you don't have the right to retaliate.
05:16I know firsthand how Audra can try to push someone's buttons.
05:19Then why be so surprised at my reaction?
05:22I hate that she's dragging you down to her level.
05:25I wish you would just let me handle her.
05:27Audra is not dragging me anywhere.
05:29I could have done a lot worse and still been completely justified.
05:32And as far as you handling her, I don't need anyone to fight my battles for me.
05:36Okay, but maybe can you just, can you just let this one go?
05:42Audra has been doing everything that she can to ruin my life since she blew up her own life and niece.
05:47There's no way that I'm going to let her get away with that.
05:51Not even if I promise to make sure she stops.
05:55Based on your history with Audra, I don't think I feel comfortable handing you the controls.
05:59Especially when every time the two of you get together, it seems like things get out of control.
06:04I can handle Audra, okay?
06:08Yeah?
06:09Like you handled her in L.A.?
06:11Now, is that why she's always so nasty when she sees us together?
06:15Or is there something else?
06:17I told you what happened in L.A., and it's not something I want to keep revisiting.
06:20No, you told me what you're comfortable telling me.
06:22But Sienna admitted that there's more to the story.
06:25So now I'm wondering what you left out.
06:31You talked to Sienna about this.
06:32Yeah, why not?
06:33She knows you and Audra from L.A.
06:35Don't panic.
06:36That's all she said.
06:37And don't worry.
06:38I'll get to the bottom of this with her without you.
06:43And it's funny you mentioned that you're the old acquaintance that we would love to forget.
06:47Yet here you are, still in our faces, sharing your twisted holiday cheer.
06:52I see you've survived Christmas.
06:55Be careful with New Year's.
06:56You know, that ball that drops at midnight could drop right on you.
06:59Whose idea was it to shut down your company?
07:02And for what reason?
07:03You know damn well you're the reason, Victor.
07:05You're always the reason.
07:07Are you two sitting here concocting a new scheme to build some new failed venture?
07:14No new ventures.
07:15Our companies are fine.
07:17Your company is circling the drain.
07:18In no time at all, your media company will follow it down to a sewer.
07:24You're celebrating a little early.
07:26This battle is not over yet.
07:29I will burn my father's company down to the ground rather than let you get your greedy hands on it.
07:35And I think you have already lit the match, Jack.
07:38What your father took years to build up, you've managed to ruin within a matter of weeks.
07:44Let me see, let me see.
07:54Okay, okay.
07:57Oh my god.
07:58Is this bag gorgeous or what?
08:01You are gorgeous.
08:02And I'm really glad you like it.
08:03Are you kidding?
08:04I love it and you for gifting it.
08:06Look, I only hope you didn't get it out of guilt for not being able to bring me on at Abbott Communications.
08:12Okay, this is not a guilt gift.
08:13This was an Audra Needs This Bag purchase.
08:16Well then, I gladly accept.
08:19Sit down.
08:20Here, come on.
08:21I want to hear what's going on with you.
08:23Well, you know, nothing much.
08:26Still unemployed.
08:27Still job hunting.
08:29Oh, did I tell you?
08:31I ran into Noah Newman at the club the other day.
08:34I heard he got in a really bad car accident in LA.
08:36Yeah.
08:36I didn't realize he was back in town.
08:38He looks really good.
08:40Oh.
08:40Okay, well, how was it seeing him?
08:43You know, it was nice.
08:44He was really sweet, which kind of surprised me.
08:48He asked me how I was doing and he seemed genuinely interested.
08:53People care about you, Audra.
08:55Really?
08:56Come on.
08:56Name one person other than you.
08:58Stop.
08:59I'm serious.
09:01You're the only friend I have left here, which people love to point out every chance they get.
09:06I know this year hasn't ended on the greatest note, but you cannot get down on yourself.
09:12I'm not down on myself.
09:14It's everyone else I can stand.
09:16Look, I know I'm the town pariah, but you think I care?
09:20I don't.
09:21I don't believe that.
09:22It's true.
09:23Look, if people don't like me, that's their problem.
09:26Hey, I refuse to cave into what everyone else thinks I should be or do.
09:30I have always been and will always be a fighter.
09:33Yeah, I just hate that you feel like you have to fight.
09:35It's not a big deal.
09:38Look, I'm used to being hated.
09:40Treat it like I don't matter.
09:42And believe it or not, it actually fuels me.
09:44It makes me work that much harder to just prove all the haters wrong.
09:48And people can come at me with all their judgments and accusations all they want.
09:52But in the end, they won't win.
09:55I won't let them.
09:56Okay, now I know something happened.
09:58Audra, talk to me.
10:00I can tell you're not okay.
10:02Yeah, well, I had another run-in with Claire.
10:06Okay?
10:07And I take it it didn't end well?
10:09It never does.
10:11Look, and I've had enough.
10:13I'm gearing for a showdown to finally put that bitch in her place once and for all.
10:19You're really not going to let this go, are you?
10:21I would if you would just tell me the whole story.
10:25I'm not saying that there is more to tell, but if there was, what exactly do you plan to do with that?
10:30I just think it would reveal a lot about Audra and you.
10:34Those are things that I should know.
10:36I wish it would just accept what I told you is what happened.
10:39I wish that too, but like I said, Sienna confirmed that there's more.
10:43And she is the most objective party involved, so I think I'm going to go with her take.
10:48Well, I hope you're not too disappointed when you've realized that there is nothing more to discover.
10:53That's to be determined.
10:54Okay, all right, let's shift gears.
10:59What happened earlier?
11:00Kyle was clearly upset when I showed up.
11:03I hope he didn't take that out on you.
11:04No, of course he didn't.
11:06I think Kyle was upset when he saw that we were meeting up.
11:09And he's had a hard time adjusting to, you know, going from us being a couple, planning a future,
11:18to me realizing that I need to be on my own, and then seeing me with another guy.
11:25Honestly, I'm surprised it took him this long to reach his limit.
11:30Wait, so Kyle has reached it.
11:34Does that mean that he's no longer holding out hope for you two to get back together?
11:38Seems that way.
11:40He's finally ready to move on.
11:41Yeah, he suggested we both do that.
11:44He said he can't wait around any longer for me to figure out what I want.
11:49How do you feel hearing that?
11:52Are you ready to accept that you and Kyle are really over?
11:56You smoke.
11:57Don't take the bait.
12:00Victor would like nothing better than for you to sink to his level.
12:04From my level, Jack, I'm looking at you and your family as you're leading them to the brink of disaster.
12:11Victor, you're going down.
12:13You don't even realize that someone is about to knock you off yourself mid-pedestal so quick,
12:17your head is going to spin.
12:18I guarantee it.
12:20By the way, if I were you, I would not say anything else, you know,
12:25after the pitiful message you left on social media.
12:28Oh, I'm honored that you watched that, along with a million others.
12:32Did you really think that weak attempt at damage control would do anything to ease the minds of those who are watching your company go to the tank?
12:41You know, Billy's right.
12:42It is going to be such a pleasure to watch that smug smirk wiped off your face.
12:47It cannot happen soon enough.
12:49What can happen at your hands?
12:51You have declared war against my family how many times?
12:54We're still standing, Victor.
12:56I think we've won as many battles as we've lost.
13:00Only this time, we have the upper hand.
13:02You don't see that yet.
13:04But you will.
13:07You picked this fight, my friend.
13:09Now you're about to lose it.
13:14How many millions have you already lost after you shut down your company?
13:20The only thing I've lost is my appetite.
13:26Happy New Year.
13:28Let's go.
13:28I need to see you at society.
13:49Well, that was fun.
14:01Did you see how unnerved Victor was when I said we had the upper hand?
14:06Didn't seem unnerved at all for me.
14:08Oh, that's such a tough guy act.
14:10You've seen it too many times before, the chess master.
14:12I've also picked up on the mustache's tells over the years.
14:17Yeah, what are those?
14:17Well, when he is not as cocksure as he wants us all to think he is, he puffs out his chest like a rooster being threatened.
14:25The chest was definitely puffed out.
14:28He didn't seem threatened at all to me.
14:30Oh, he may have crowed about being the dominant one, but that was all an act, an all for show.
14:35Okay, then why do I feel like we're lambs being led to the slaughter?
14:38I don't feel like that at all.
14:39Come on, Jack.
14:40We're sitting here trying to pretend that we're confident.
14:41As much as I hate to say this, the man holds the cards.
14:45Unless Nikki betrays her husband or Phyllis decides to steal the software back for us or Diane somehow gets Michael to agree to work with us, I don't see how we get out of that.
14:54Yes, we may need one of those people to help us, but at the end of the day, we have to rely on our plan to bring Jabot back from the brink, because failing is not an option.
15:04Victor, I came as soon as I got your call.
15:11Have a seat.
15:12That sounded urgent.
15:13What's up?
15:18It's cut to the chase.
15:21Jabot is on the ropes.
15:24Because the abbot shut it down to protect it from a potential attack by you.
15:28I just ran into Jack Abbott and his useless brother, Billy Boy.
15:36They were full of false confidence.
15:39Do you know anything about them planning something?
15:43I know it shouldn't come as a surprise to you.
15:46You know how Jack feels about that company.
15:49You know what it means to him just like Newman means to you.
15:54I built my company.
15:56He inherited his.
15:59Jabot is all that Jack and his family have left of their father's legacy.
16:04They are going to fight with everything they've got to save it.
16:08And I will go to great lengths to make sure they don't succeed.
16:13Sounds like you need my help to go to those great lengths.
16:18I want you to go behind the scenes at Jabot and find out what they're planning.
16:22I want details.
16:23Sure, yeah.
16:24Yeah, no problem.
16:27I'll find out whatever I can.
16:32You know, recently, Michael Bourbon,
16:35I'm not sure if you're following through on the plans you and I have made.
16:42That has got to stop.
16:43What's going on with you?
16:46I want to know now.
16:49I'll admit.
16:52Kyle caught me off guard.
16:54Things were really normal when we first ran into each other earlier.
16:57As normal as they've been lately.
16:59So, the last thing I expected was for him to say he was giving up on us.
17:04Well, the guy hung in there longer than I thought he would.
17:06Yeah, maybe that's why it was such a surprise.
17:08You know, up until today, he's been so determined to make things work with us.
17:12This complete about-face and it being so final, it felt like it came out of left field.
17:16Well, I'm sure me showing up didn't help.
17:20Yeah, I don't think Kyle realized that we were still spending time together.
17:25But I also don't think that that would propel him to end things the way that he did.
17:31Well, you seem pretty okay.
17:35But does it upset you?
17:38Because it was so final.
17:39I can't pretend I'm not upset.
17:44It's like a part of my life is over.
17:48But it's also really liberating.
17:50You know, I don't have to worry about hurting Kyle or offending him.
17:54I'm free to do whatever I want with whoever I want.
18:00So, since you're free, you think we could have a real date?
18:06Maybe even, I don't know, maybe bring in the new year together.
18:14I think that could be arranged.
18:17And our own condition.
18:19Crazy hats and noise makers.
18:20I want you to tell me what happened in L.A. between you and Audra.
18:25I thought you were going to find out on your own without my help.
18:28I will.
18:31I just wanted to give you a chance to be the one to tell me.
18:33Look, uh, it's obvious how much I enjoy your company.
18:39And I've made it pretty clear how much I like you and how much I would love to take it to the next level if and when you're ready.
18:47But it sounds like that'll only happen if I tell you what you think I didn't tell you before.
18:54You're very perceptive.
18:55I have to warn you.
19:01You're not going to like what you hear.
19:03I'll take my chances.
19:08Claire is so damn entitled.
19:10She thinks she can do or save whatever she wants without any consequences.
19:13And if you dare point it out or worse, challenge it, her psychosite rears its ugly head.
19:19Okay, okay, hold on.
19:20Rewind.
19:21Tell me where this is coming from.
19:22Claire threw a drink in my face.
19:24What?
19:25Yes.
19:26Why?
19:27Did you say or do something to provoke her?
19:30Oh, come on, not you two.
19:31Why does everyone assume I'm to blame?
19:33Hey, I'm not assuming.
19:35I know how much you despise Claire, and also I have seen you taunt her and enjoy it.
19:39Well, I didn't do or say anything that justified getting doused.
19:43Okay, so what triggered her?
19:46Well, I was in my way into society when I happened to see Kyle dumping her sorry ass.
19:53And you said something.
19:55Of course not.
19:56I'm not heartless, Sally.
19:58I didn't even let them know I heard.
19:59But when I went inside and I saw Claire, I did make a comment about it.
20:05What kind of comment?
20:06It was something like, um, Kyle couldn't get away from you fast enough.
20:11Oh, my God.
20:11Why don't you really say that?
20:13Well, it's true.
20:15And I also mentioned how disgusting it was that she was playing both Kyle and Holden
20:20off each other.
20:21Wow.
20:22Okay.
20:22I can't believe you said that.
20:23Well, I did.
20:24And that's when she grabbed the glass of water and threw it in my face.
20:28Okay, that's a pretty strong reaction.
20:30Yeah, not for a psycho little abandoned toy like Claire.
20:33So what did you do after she tossed the water?
20:35Well, I actually showed amazing restraint and I didn't fight back.
20:40That's smart.
20:41That's good.
20:41Ugh, I don't know.
20:43Look, I could have easily clawed her eyes out and enjoyed every second of it.
20:46Okay, well, I'm really glad you did.
20:48Really glad you kept your restraint.
20:50And why don't we now just let it go?
20:53You know, next time you see Claire, just do whatever you need to do to avoid her.
20:56Yeah, that's not happening.
20:58What do you mean?
20:59Well, just because I didn't retaliate in the moment doesn't mean I'm letting this go.
21:04Far from it.
21:06Okay, I'm really afraid to ask what your next move is.
21:08Let's just say I'll get my revenge when the time's right.
21:11Okay, but why even keep this negative energy alive?
21:15I mean, you've already lost Nate and Claire's lost Kyle, so why keep this war going?
21:20Especially with a Newman.
21:21Sally, because I am tired of getting knocked around.
21:25Claire thinks that she can just say whatever she wants without any consequences.
21:29It's about time someone showed her that that's not how life works.
21:32And that someone is going to be me.
21:35It's funny.
21:44You haven't been sure where things stand with me.
21:46I haven't been sure where things stand with you for quite some time.
21:50Well, I called you, didn't I?
21:51Yeah, well, how was I to know if it was a test, whether I would show up or not?
21:56I mean, that's how everything seems these days.
21:58Some reassessment of my loyalty every moment.
22:03Should there be?
22:05No.
22:06But I do want to be clear about one thing.
22:09The reset button has been pressed on our relationship.
22:12We are truly reconciled.
22:13Or do you just regard me as another blunt instrument that you can use to bludgeon your adversaries into submission?
22:20It's the lawyer, Troy.
22:23Yes, sir.
22:24Do you realize that last time I fired you, you showed me at great lengths?
22:30How much you valued our relationship.
22:33Is that still the case?
22:35Yeah, I've tried to make that point several times.
22:37Just to have the door slammed in my face.
22:40Well, maybe this will convince you that I've come around to your way of thinking.
22:50What's that?
22:53It's a Christmas gift.
22:57I am telling you, Victor always knows what to say or do to get what he wants.
23:01Today, he faltered.
23:02He hit a wall.
23:03We stood our ground.
23:05And when we left him, he was shaken.
23:07Oh, I would love to shake him.
23:09I would love to rattle his cage, Jack.
23:10I want him to pay for what he forced us to do to Zabot.
23:14I want him to lose everything he cares about.
23:18What?
23:19What is that face for?
23:20Don't pretend that you don't want to destroy him just as bad as I do.
23:23The only person I'm worried about destroying right now is you.
23:25Come on.
23:26What are you talking about?
23:27Billy, I'm talking about your tone right now.
23:28I'm talking about your temper and society.
23:30Oh, come on.
23:31Here we go again, Jack.
23:32Don't do that.
23:32Set aside that Victor has this coming.
23:35You don't sound like a man who's given up on his quest for revenge.
23:39Don't.
23:39To focus solely on his new company.
23:41Don't heart going on and on about me falling back into my old ways, Jack.
23:43Billy, I'm concerned about you.
23:46I happen to know what happens when your anger and rage get the best of you.
23:51Nothing to worry about, okay?
23:53Okay.
23:53You're sure of that?
23:54Yes.
23:55And here I am.
23:56Thought you had faith in the fact that I'm trying to change, but I guess not.
23:59You don't trust me, do you?
24:00I want to believe in your success.
24:02I brought this up not because I'm judging you, because I am concerned.
24:05We want the same thing, okay?
24:08We want to stop Victor from taking our family company.
24:11That's it.
24:12Good.
24:12I appreciate that.
24:14I don't have ulterior motives, okay?
24:18It's Nikki.
24:21Hi, Nikki.
24:22Hi.
24:23Um, are you free to meet?
24:25Uh, what time are we talking?
24:26Now would be perfect.
24:27I assume you're at Chabot?
24:29Uh, no.
24:29Actually, I'm at home.
24:31I'll be there shortly.
24:32Okay.
24:35Nikki's on our way.
24:38Well, that happened quicker than I expected.
24:41That has to be a good thing, right?
24:43Let's hope so.
24:45It doesn't sound like Claire is getting everything that she wanted, especially as you just said,
24:49Kyle just dumped her.
24:50Yeah, well, I'm glad he finally got a backbone.
24:53It made me sick watching him get yanked around like a puppy dog by that psychopath.
24:57Okay, well, if I didn't know you, I'd say you sound like you actually care for the guy.
25:03No, please don't start with that.
25:04I have zero interest in Kyle Abbott.
25:08And it's not just about him.
25:10Claire's now got hold and wrapped around her stupid little finger, too.
25:14Okay, I'm sensing resentment there, too.
25:17What is the real story between you two?
25:19I know that you have some sort of connection.
25:21I sense the vibe the second he got to town.
25:23Can we not go there?
25:25Why does a simple question make you uncomfortable?
25:28Look, I understand not wanting to get into specifics, but can you at least let on how bad it got?
25:31Why do you care about Holden?
25:35I care about you.
25:36And if things in L.A. got as bad as you've let on that they have, I would hate for Claire or anyone to try and use that to hurt you.
25:45Give me my 500 grand!
25:47I don't have it!
25:48You want me to beat it out of you?
25:49Hey, you need to get the hell out of here now!
25:51Okay, I don't want any trouble.
25:54Good!
25:59Oh, my God!
26:06Is that blood by his head?
26:10Oh, man.
26:10It doesn't matter now.
26:19No one is ever going to find out what happened between me and Holden in L.A.
26:29Okay, now I am worried.
26:32When you say no one's going to find out, find out what?
26:36Nothing.
26:36Okay, there's nothing of importance to find out.
26:40I mean, it's not even worth talking about it.
26:44I don't mean to jump on you like this.
26:47If I'm uptight, it's because of what happened earlier with Claire.
26:51Yeah, I could see how that could get to you.
26:53Look, I only told you about it so you knew why I got so emotional about the gift.
26:57I was in such a mood when I got here, and your sweet gesture brought me out of it.
27:02Well, I do want to make an effort to bring more light to your life.
27:06You've been through a lot, especially lately.
27:09Yeah, I'll be fine.
27:10I always am.
27:11I hope so.
27:13You had me worried.
27:13I started to think maybe you and Holden robbed a bank or covered up some major crime or something.
27:20Hi.
27:20Hey.
27:21Hey.
27:21Perfect timing.
27:23Hi.
27:23You don't have to leave.
27:27Oh, I actually, I do.
27:28I got to update my resume.
27:31You know, job hunting is no joke these days.
27:34Well, Merry Christmas, Audra.
27:36Yeah, same to you, Billy.
27:37Are you sure you can't stay?
27:40Well, three's a crowd.
27:42Hey, thank you again so much for this.
27:45I owe you one.
27:46No, you don't.
27:48Just do yourself a favor and steer clear of any future battles with Claire or Holden.
27:52I'll think about it.
28:02She just can't help herself.
28:03She runs away when I show up.
28:06She rushed out of here because of me, not you.
28:08I was asking questions she didn't want to answer.
28:11About what?
28:12Her time in L.A.
28:13I get the feeling she's covering up a major secret.
28:18And this scares the hell out of me for her.
28:23The last time we were together, I thought you could barely tolerate me.
28:30I certainly didn't think we were in a place to exchange Christmas gifts.
28:34Let's open it.
28:40It's a Roman coin.
28:43The great Antoninus Pius, emperor.
28:51He is the Roman emperor who represented those values for the empire of the best.
28:57On the reverse side is the goddess Pietas, a trend of devotion and loyalty.
29:05That's right.
29:07It's a beautiful reproduction.
29:09It's real, you know.
29:10Not a reproduction.
29:11It's invaluable.
29:14Yeah.
29:16I don't know what to say.
29:17I don't know what I did to deserve this.
29:18Well, I've often thought about your loyalty, or lack thereof.
29:23But on the day that Ian Ward held us at gunpoint, you remember that day, right?
29:29How could I forget?
29:31How could any of us forget?
29:31Well, you could have hightailed out of the room, but you stayed by my side.
29:37I'll never forget that.
29:39You showed your loyalty that day.
29:43And other days, too, I hope.
29:44Now, by accepting this coin, you understand, of course, that I demand your complete loyalty as I move forward with my plans.
29:57You want to know if you can trust me?
30:02Shall I?
30:06Hi.
30:06Please come in.
30:08Can I take your coat?
30:09Oh, no.
30:09I'll keep it on.
30:11I've got something to drink.
30:12A spark of my water?
30:13A soda?
30:13No, thanks.
30:14Well, at least come in and sit down.
30:17I can't stay long.
30:18I just wanted to talk to you in person.
30:24Okay.
30:26So, I have been thinking about our goal, getting the AI program away from Victor.
30:33If anyone can convince him to hand it over, it is you.
30:37Yes.
30:37Well, um, I have an update on that.
30:44You know, I knew you were on the fence.
30:47Excuse me?
30:48Between almond milk latte and Mexican mocha.
30:52Kyle and Holden.
30:54Yeah, um, almond milk latte is definitely off the order.
30:59Oh, I'm sorry about that.
31:01I'm fine with it.
31:02Okay.
31:04Oh, hey, Claire just ordered your favorite.
31:08Oh, no one makes Mexican mocha like you do.
31:13Any luck in finding a place to rent?
31:16Uh, I'm still looking, but I'm definitely staying in Genoa City for a while.
31:20The city will shine a little brighter with you around.
31:23I appreciate that.
31:27You know, I better leave before I'm scalded with hot liquid this time.
31:32Though maybe I should be the one tossing a beverage.
31:35Payback's a bitch.
31:36You should know.
31:38Can we all just keep our distance?
31:41Suddenly, I feel like I need some fresh air.
31:42I'm going to be on the patio.
31:50I told you to stop provoking Claire.
31:53Why don't you tell her to stop provoking me?
31:55Audra, this needs to stop.
31:56If you don't let this go, it's going to escalate into something that everyone is going to regret.
31:59I missed you.
32:07Well, I just saw you not that long ago before you went to go see Jack.
32:11It's too long in my book.
32:14So what's the secret that Audra's hiding?
32:17Oh, I wish I knew.
32:20The second I started digging deeper about her LA pass, she completely shut down and got defensive.
32:24I don't know.
32:27There's definitely something there that she wants to keep secret.
32:30Just another reason not to trust her.
32:33Whatever it is, she's my friend.
32:35And I care about her.
32:37I'm not going to tell you who you should, shouldn't care about or who you can be friends with.
32:41You better not.
32:42I'm also not going to hold back what my gut says about Audra Charles.
32:47That woman is trouble.
32:49Why is it assumed that I'm the bad guy?
32:55No matter who starts it, why am I always the instigator?
32:58Because you usually are, Audra.
33:01You can't help yourself.
33:03You always have to provoke your perceived enemies, but that has to stop right now.
33:07Oh yeah, what are you going to do?
33:08I'm going to tell Claire everything that happened in LA.
33:12Everything?
33:12The whole story.
33:14Are you actually out of your mind?
33:17I am tired of you holding this over my head.
33:18And I'm done keeping secrets from Claire.
33:21Okay.
33:22I feel like I should point out that if you tell your little psycho girlfriend everything,
33:26you have way more to lose than I do.
33:29Are you sure you're ready to take that risk?
33:31Can I just say this up front?
33:53And I know what's at stake here.
33:55I can never understand how you feel the way you do about the man, but I understand that
34:01you love him very much.
34:03Well, I'm glad you can appreciate my feelings with everything that's going on.
34:09Of course.
34:09Unfortunately, even though my head is telling me to stand strong and stick by my ultimatum,
34:19after spending Christmas with Victor, my heart won't let me go through with it.
34:27I see.
34:29I know you're disappointed, and I'm so sorry, but you know what, Jack?
34:33I don't know that it would have worked anyway.
34:36I mean, he's too dug in.
34:39I thought you were, too.
34:41I was.
34:43But, as always with Victor, I just can't stay angry.
34:48Wow, somehow I have no problem doing that.
34:50Let me be clear.
34:52I refuse to sit idly by and watch my husband try to destroy my dear friend's company.
34:59I am still committed to getting Victor to stop whatever he has planned.
35:03Unfortunately, Nikki, you and I both know that any rational appeal to Victor is pure folly,
35:10doomed to failure.
35:11But I have to keep trying.
35:13I mean, maybe with another tactic, something that won't require an ultimatum that I can't
35:19keep, something to get Victor out of his head and into his heart.
35:24I think you're going to find that all that is in that black, cold heart is hatred for
35:30me and my family.
35:32I will also find the love he has for me.
35:35And I truly believe at the end of the day, love will win out over his hatred for you.
35:45So tell me where I stand.
35:46Can I trust you again?
35:52Of course you can trust me.
35:55I'm sorry there was ever any doubt.
35:57I'm sorry there was ever any doubt.
36:16Join us again for the young and the restless.
