00:09Hey, Esther.
00:12Oh, no, I love it when you stop by, but is it safe for you to be out?
00:19I think so.
00:21Well, I understand from Sharon that Matt Clark is out there somewhere.
00:26Did she tell you that?
00:27Not directly.
00:28I have big ears.
00:31Are you okay?
00:32You must be terrified.
00:33No, no, I'm fine.
00:34I'm fine.
00:35I'm pretty sure Matt Clark is going to be caught very soon, and we can put all this behind us,
00:39okay?
00:39That's what Sharon said last time.
00:42A lady hears things.
00:44And you are quite the lady.
00:46Okay.
00:47Sweet talk like that will get you a muffin on the house.
00:51Con?
00:52You know it.
00:53You find a table, and I will bring your brew.
01:03Andra?
01:05Hi.
01:06It looks like you're busy overseeing the stories that make the world go round.
01:10Oh, yeah, the news cycle never ends, especially these days.
01:15I'll let you get back to it.
01:18Noah, wait.
01:20You know, the last time we saw each other, what I said, I hope I didn't make you feel uncomfortable.
01:28What, that I'm the one that got away?
01:30I'm thinking you probably need to get out there more.
01:33I'm serious.
01:35I don't want things to be weird between us.
01:39We've been through so much together, good and not so good.
01:44Wouldn't it be nice if we could be in the same room together without it being awkward?
01:49Yeah, I would.
01:51So, does that mean I can convince you to join me?
01:54I don't want things to be in the same room.
02:38Victoria?
02:39Oh, good evening.
02:42You've been out of town?
02:44Really?
02:45Yeah, well, I guess word gets around.
02:48I spoke with Summer earlier about Harrison's trip to see her this summer, and she mentioned you were just in
02:53Milan.
02:54I was.
02:55It was good to see her.
02:57I hope you being on another continent means you had nothing to do with your father's latest attacks against my
03:02family.
03:10I see you're on your own, too.
03:14Seems that way.
03:16You want to share some fries with me?
03:18I don't think I'm hungry for much of anything, but if you'll excuse me, I could definitely use a drink.
03:24You don't look much better than you did this morning.
03:28Still no word from Diane?
03:29I have sent more texts and voicemails than I can count, and the silence is deafening.
03:36I'm sorry.
03:37And I am at my wit's end.
03:40What are you going to do?
03:42All I can do, I'm going to follow my brother's advice.
03:46You're going to follow Billy's advice about something?
03:49He wisely suggested that I give my wife time and space to sort things out.
03:54Not that I like sitting and waiting, but it appears patience is my strongest option.
04:00How about you?
04:01Your being here suggests that things aren't any better between you and Victor, either.
04:20My goodness, what a nice surprise.
04:22Hi, Grandpa.
04:23Hi, sweetheart.
04:25So?
04:25So, I have some questions for you.
04:29Whatever you want to know.
04:30Okay, well, you told me that Grandma moved out, but you didn't want to talk about why.
04:34Hmm.
04:36Hmm.
04:38Is that why you're here?
04:39I saw her, and she told me her side.
04:41Oh, yeah?
04:43What'd she tell you?
04:45It breaks my heart that the two of you are apart.
04:48And I also saw Kyle, and he told me that his parents have split up as well.
04:54But I think that you already knew that, because you wanted it to happen.
04:59So you made it happen.
05:02You masterminded the whole thing, didn't you?
05:11I have no problem sharing a coffee with you.
05:13You just look like you're pretty deep in it.
05:15And I don't want to interrupt you.
05:16I'm supposed to be meeting Sienna here anyway.
05:19Yeah, it's strange she and I haven't crossed paths yet.
05:23Yeah, Sienna's been staying pretty close to the ranch until all the stuff in that car is over.
05:27Well, that's understandable.
05:29But it's hard to imagine the Sienna I knew in L.A. being a homebody.
05:35Okay, here you go.
05:37Extra foamy, just the way you like it.
05:39Oh yeah, thank you.
05:41You have no idea.
05:43Oh, and it looks like you're running low.
05:46Can I get you a refill?
05:47Oh, just if I have any more caffeine today, I will be awake until next week.
05:52But thank you.
05:54Audra takes hers extra foamy too.
05:57Twinsies.
06:00Well, now that we're twinsies, you have to join me.
06:03You sure it's not just about the pecan muffin?
06:05You'd share it, right?
06:06Yeah, maybe a bite or two.
06:08Yeah.
06:09Then sit.
06:16You know, not so long ago you mentioned that you weren't sure if you were going to stay in Genoa
06:21City or not.
06:23Have you made a decision?
06:25Well, my family's still going through a lot.
06:29Legacy wiped out.
06:30Matt Clark's still on the loose.
06:33Should you even be out?
06:35Isn't it dangerous?
06:37I'm not going to let some psycho dictate how I live my life.
06:40You always were a badass.
06:43Yeah, I'm afraid it's in the genes.
06:46You know, watching out for your family, staying around to help them.
06:51You are a very dutiful son.
06:54It turns out I missed them a lot more than I thought.
06:57It feels good to be home.
06:59What about London?
07:01Your club?
07:04That pretty much runs itself.
07:05You know, I do plan on flying over periodically to check in.
07:10You loved that life.
07:12The club life, the energy, the vibe.
07:15Won't you miss it?
07:16I won't have to.
07:17I'm in the process of opening a new club right here in town with Sienna.
07:23That's great.
07:24Yeah, we're really excited about it.
07:26We're basically going to recreate the shadow room right here in Genoa City.
07:31I was out of the country when that all went down.
07:34Although, I did hear that my father had Jack held.
07:38Abducted.
07:40Yes, it was a bit extreme, I agree.
07:43But your father is safe and Chancellor is back with the Newmans where it belongs.
07:48And that makes what Victor did okay?
07:50Even though my mother has moved out of the house, taken a room upstairs, and is no longer speaking to
07:55my father.
07:56I'm sorry to hear that.
07:58Eh, but all's fair.
08:01You're referring to what happened on the yacht.
08:04Something, something about another woman?
08:06No, not just any woman.
08:08Patty Williams.
08:10What?
08:12How is that possible?
08:13She claims she has been rehabilitated and been released.
08:17You can't seriously think that my father had anything to do with that.
08:20Of course I do.
08:22Patty Williams was thrown into the mix to mess up my parents' marriage.
08:25Just like when Victor used Audra to come between Claire and me.
08:28It's not my father's fault.
08:29He can hardly be blamed for pushing them into bed.
08:33Jack had a choice and he chose poorly.
08:37God, how I wish I could turn back the clock.
08:40Erase my relapse.
08:42Erase your attempts to save me.
08:44Erase everything that made Victor want to come after you.
08:46Victor has never needed much of an excuse to go for blood.
08:49You and I are both well aware of that.
08:52Well, it wasn't just that night that changed everything.
08:56I often wonder how different things would be if none of us had accepted that invitation from Aristotle Dumas to
09:04his chateau in Nice.
09:06I mean, there would be no Cain.
09:08No AI.
09:09Nicky, I have gone down that road.
09:11Nothing good comes of it because we can't go back.
09:15We have to face where we are.
09:17In the present.
09:18In the moment.
09:20Face it head on, like it or not.
09:23Well, in this moment, I'm not holding out much hope of anything changing between Victor and me.
09:31That's why I've asked Victoria to go collect some more of my things.
09:36Do you know how much it freaks me out to think that the grandfather that I love so much and
09:40respect so much would be capable of something like this?
09:43Something that my aunt would have done?
09:46Your aunt?
09:48Your grandfather isn't anything like your Aunt Jordan.
09:51You serious?
09:52Kidnapping Jack was extreme.
10:00Sweetheart, my company was taken from me.
10:03They took it from me.
10:04I'll be damned if I don't do everything in my power to get it back.
10:07I don't give a damn what it costs.
10:20I understand what your legacy means to you.
10:24And I also know that you take your work very personally.
10:31But the end doesn't always justify the means.
10:33Sweetheart, whatever happened in that boat is between Jack and the woman.
10:38What about your marriage, Grandpa?
10:39You know that I want Chancellor back?
10:42What did your grandmother decide to do?
10:44She supports Jack Abbott.
10:46Not me.
10:50Look, I know how devastated Grandma was when we lost Chancellor.
10:52I think it should be some consolation that you got it back.
10:56But what would have happened if Phyllis hadn't given Chancellor back?
10:59What would you have done with Jack?
11:01Would you have made good on your threat to him?
11:02Sweetheart, we got Chancellor back.
11:04That's all that matters.
11:06You say it's business, but...
11:08Given how angry you still are at Jack
11:10for the way that he acted when Grandma was struggling with her sobriety
11:13and the way that you hate the rest of his family.
11:17I have a hard time believing it's not personal.
11:28Wow.
11:29It's been like that.
11:30You should be the one running Numa Media.
11:32Oh, that's right.
11:34It's no longer a company.
11:35That's right.
11:36Because it was stolen, along with the rest of my family's entities.
11:40Your Uncle Billy played a part in that theft, by the way.
11:43Except Phyllis was in control of those companies
11:45when Victor decided to abduct my father
11:47and stick him on a yacht with paddy wheels.
11:49Okay, so as long as you're throwing blame around,
11:51why not blame Phyllis for your father's indiscretion?
11:54Maybe she should have acted sooner.
11:56Okay, how about the drugs?
11:58Excuse me?
11:59You didn't know?
12:00Their whiskey was spiked
12:02by a man who knows my father has addiction issues,
12:05knows how hard he works to stay clean.
12:08Is there no depth to which Victor won't sink?
12:10Maybe paddy spiked your father's drink.
12:13Or do you have actual proof that the drinks were spiked
12:17other than what Jack claims?
12:19You know, man.
12:20There will always be an excuse for the old man, won't there?
12:23No matter how heinous his behavior,
12:25it's just dear old dad protecting the family,
12:27and you're all just fine with it.
12:29I'm not going to let you blame my father
12:31for everything that happened on that yacht,
12:33especially when it sounds like the real issue
12:35for your parents' separation
12:37is the choice that your father made.
12:43Sounds like you expect this separation to last a while.
12:47I don't know.
12:49But for now, the athletic club is home.
12:56God, I miss the ranch so much.
13:00My own bed.
13:02Riding concerto in the morning
13:04just as the sun is peeking over the ridge.
13:06There's just so many things.
13:09And
13:11I miss Victor.
13:13I mean, as furious as I am with him,
13:17I still love him.
13:20I hope that we can find our way through this.
13:23But if there is going to be a hope of a reconciliation,
13:27he's going to have to reach out first.
13:30Well, I hate to be the one to say this,
13:32but if those are the terms,
13:34this estrangement will indeed last a long time.
13:38Thanks for the pep, Tom.
13:39I'm just saying, no matter how high the stakes,
13:42Victor is completely incapable of admitting fault.
13:46Of course it was personal.
13:49I mean, my company was stolen.
13:51My family was attacked.
13:53I had to do something.
13:54What would have happened if Phyllis and Billy
13:56had called your bluff?
14:00Would you have gone as far as to hurt Jack?
14:04You know, sometimes in life and in business,
14:07things get tough, you know,
14:08and you cross the line.
14:10Not everyone would have gone as far as you did.
14:14Sweetheart.
14:18Are you forgetting how I grew up?
14:22I grew up in a world of hard knocks.
14:25You know, I grew up in an orphanage
14:27where you look over your shoulder all the time.
14:30See if someone is coming for you.
14:34So you learn to fight dirty.
14:41I've never forgotten.
14:46Mmm.
14:48Oh, that's so good.
14:49You know, I never found a latte in London as tasty
14:52as the ones that I grew up drinking right here
14:54in Crimson Lights.
14:55Yeah, no offense,
14:57but what about that cute little place
14:58we used to go to all the time?
15:00They had the best coffee in the world.
15:01Oh, yeah, you were all about the pistachio lattes.
15:04Yeah, always, always.
15:06As soon as you'd walk in the door,
15:07they'd start making it right on the spot.
15:08You remember.
15:09Yeah, yeah.
15:10I hate to say, though,
15:11that that place closed down last year.
15:14Oh, no.
15:15I was actually just thinking about it.
15:18Well,
15:19I've been thinking a lot
15:20about London lately,
15:22but that's probably
15:23because we keep running into each other.
15:26Yeah, yeah.
15:26Our run-ins have brought up
15:27some memories for me, too.
15:28Yeah.
15:30Of the good times
15:32before it got bad
15:33between us.
15:39Do you ever think about it?
15:43About us?
15:46Yeah.
15:47Yeah, I do sometimes.
15:51Just...
15:54It's hard not to go to the dark part.
15:58I know.
16:01But we had some
16:02serious fun,
16:04didn't we?
16:06You remember those times, too,
16:09don't you?
16:17Of course,
16:18I remember the good times.
16:20We had a lot of fun.
16:23We did.
16:26Yeah.
16:27You know,
16:28sometimes I,
16:30I can't help but wonder
16:33what might have happened
16:34if I hadn't lost a baby.
16:40I'm so sorry
16:41you had to go through that alone.
16:44Yeah.
16:47I'll always
16:48regret that.
16:51You're a good man, Noah.
17:00Hey.
17:02Hey, there you are.
17:03No wonder where you were.
17:04Yeah, well, I'm here now.
17:06So,
17:07I miss anything?
17:08I don't know.
17:08Just catching up.
17:09Yeah, I was just telling Noah
17:11that I can't believe you and I
17:12haven't run into each other
17:14since you relocated to Genoa City.
17:15Well, I guess it's not
17:16as small a world
17:17as they say it is.
17:18It's crazy, right?
17:19That we both met in L.A.
17:21And now we both
17:22are ending up
17:23calling Genoa City home.
17:25Although,
17:26you must miss
17:27that crazy Hollywood lifestyle.
17:31Yeah, you know,
17:31I don't really miss it
17:32as much as I thought I would.
17:34But that is mostly
17:35because of this guy.
17:38Hmm.
17:44So what happens now?
17:47Now that you have Chancellor,
17:48is that going to be enough?
17:50Can you use it
17:51as the foundation
17:52for your next empire?
17:53Yeah.
17:56I'll use Chancellor
17:57to go after Phyllis.
18:01As a weapon?
18:03Yeah.
18:05By giving me back Chancellor
18:08she gave me the means
18:10to take her down.
18:13I know it seems crazy
18:14hoping that Victor
18:15will admit he's wrong
18:16and beg for forgiveness.
18:17If he had given
18:17an ounce of humility
18:19he would do exactly that.
18:23Of course you're right.
18:25I mean,
18:25he never admits
18:26to any wrongdoing.
18:27If anything,
18:27he doubles down.
18:28How is he going to justify
18:30drugging me,
18:32kidnapping me,
18:33trapping me in a boat
18:35in the middle of Lake Michigan?
18:36Oh.
18:37Easy for him
18:38saving the family legacy.
18:40No harm,
18:41no foul, right?
18:41Only the damage
18:42could be irreparable.
18:45Are you talking now
18:46about the woman
18:47who was on the yacht
18:48with you?
18:48You know what?
18:48I'm not ready
18:49to talk about that
18:50just yet.
18:51Well,
18:52when I ran into Diane
18:54at the athletic club,
18:55she was in the middle
18:57of a confrontation
18:58with Patty Williams
19:01and I was in shock.
19:03I couldn't believe
19:04that she was out.
19:05She's telling people
19:06she has been rehabilitated
19:09and I didn't realize
19:10what it could mean
19:12until later
19:12because I knew
19:14that you certainly
19:14wouldn't.
19:18Was she the woman
19:19on the yacht?
19:21Yeah.
19:24And something happened.
19:26Something you regret.
19:29I love Diane
19:30with everything in me.
19:32You know that.
19:33I do know that, Jack.
19:35But if Victor
19:37set up this scenario
19:38to have Patty seduce you,
19:40no wonder you're
19:41so hell-bent
19:42on getting vengeance
19:43on my husband.
19:46If you concede
19:47that it was Victor
19:48who put my father
19:49on that yacht
19:50against his will,
19:51how can you ignore
19:51the fact that Patty Williams
19:53was there too?
19:54Do you think
19:54Daddy Dearest
19:55didn't arrange that?
19:56Didn't set the trap?
19:58Yes.
19:59My father's machinations
20:01can be extreme.
20:03Way to not answer
20:04a question.
20:05The fact is,
20:06Victor had one intention
20:07and he got exactly
20:09the outcome he wanted.
20:11Whatever my father's
20:12intentions may
20:13or may not have been,
20:15again,
20:16Jack could have said no.
20:17He was drugged,
20:18Victoria.
20:19Why not suspect Patty?
20:21Why not?
20:22We all know
20:22what she's capable of.
20:23You don't actually
20:24believe that.
20:25My father was accosted
20:26by thugs
20:27who drugged him
20:28and threw him in a van.
20:29Who do you think
20:29arranged that?
20:30How about the man
20:31who told Billy
20:32that he would never
20:33see my father again
20:34if he didn't hand over
20:35Chancellor
20:35and then sent him
20:36a photo of my father
20:38to prove he had him?
20:40Then once on that yacht,
20:42he was given
20:42a different drug.
20:45I would have expected
20:46that given your mother
20:47is a recovering alcoholic,
20:48you'd be a little
20:49more sympathetic
20:50to someone giving
20:51my father
20:52a recovering addict,
20:54a controlled substance.
20:56Two substances,
20:58technically.
20:58The only evidence
20:59that you have
21:00of this drugging
21:01is what your father
21:02has told you.
21:04I'm going to ask you
21:05the same question
21:06I asked Claire earlier.
21:08Will the Newmans
21:09ever condemn Victor
21:11for the way
21:11he crosses lines,
21:13hurts people,
21:15or are you all
21:16so brainwashed
21:17you'll just fall in line
21:18no matter what he does
21:19or what he's after?
21:21Victoria,
21:22you promised me
21:23on New Year's Eve
21:24you would do your best
21:25to keep the peace
21:26between our families.
21:30So much for
21:31New Year's resolutions.
21:32That's what I want
21:32for both of our families.
21:34How can you say that
21:36when at best
21:38you're turning a blind eye
21:40and at the worst
21:41you were wholly complicit
21:42in your father's commitment
21:43to destroy my family?
21:45Unless I'm wrong
21:46about something here.
21:47Don't waste your breath.
21:48No, you're not wrong.
22:03You know,
22:03Audra is running
22:04a media company now.
22:05Hmm.
22:07Co-running.
22:07No, no, no.
22:08No false modesty.
22:09It's a big deal.
22:10Hmm.
22:11A suit
22:12in the corporate world.
22:14That is the last thing
22:15I would have imagined
22:15you doing
22:16when I knew you
22:17back in the day.
22:18Well, a lot has changed
22:19since then.
22:20I'm a different person now.
22:22Yeah, I can see that.
22:25So, uh,
22:26you still have any room left
22:27because I was eyeing
22:29the goodies in the case?
22:30Well, yeah, let's do it.
22:31Hmm.
22:32It was nice running into you.
22:33Oh, what?
22:34What about your muffin?
22:36It's left.
22:37Yeah, no, it's all yours.
22:39Thanks.
22:40Thanks.
22:54What do you want?
22:55Every time I see you with Noah,
22:57it becomes more clear to me
22:58why you failed
22:59on our agreement
23:00to come between Kyle and Claire.
23:02Can you find somewhere else
23:03to sit?
23:03I'm busy.
23:05Soaking is an actual activity.
23:08Would you just please
23:09leave me alone?
23:10It's pretty weird
23:10seeing Sienna in town,
23:12isn't it?
23:13Look over your shoulder much?
23:16I don't care
23:17one way or the other.
23:19And you expect me
23:20to believe that?
23:22Sienna only thinks
23:24she knows what went down
23:25with you and me in L.A.
23:27Hardly a threat.
23:29That's, uh,
23:29180 from the days
23:31you freaked out
23:31about Claire
23:32snooping around
23:32and finding the truth.
23:33Look, I have more
23:34important things to do,
23:35so if you can just
23:37please leave.
23:37I will.
23:38I will,
23:38but not until you
23:39answer one question.
23:40Anything to get you
23:41out of my hair.
23:43Do you always set
23:44your sights on men
23:45who are involved
23:45with other women?
23:48Are you serious?
23:51Some advice.
23:52If the answer is no,
23:54you might want
23:55to at least avoid
23:55the guy who's dating
23:56the woman who has
23:57inside information
23:58about our deepest,
24:01darkest secret.
24:06I'm not sure
24:07I follow.
24:07How are you going
24:08to use Chancellor
24:09as a weapon?
24:10Well,
24:12it won't be
24:13without risk.
24:15But it'll be worth it.
24:17You know your mother
24:18is going to join me
24:19in this fight, right?
24:21And I know
24:22how very bright you are.
24:25So what do you think
24:25if you joined
24:26your mother and me?
24:28I want you to learn
24:29by my side
24:31how to run
24:31a big conglomerate
24:32like this.
24:35What do you think?
24:38What Victor has done
24:39is extreme
24:40even for him.
24:41He has brought
24:42unconscionable
24:43to a whole new level.
24:44I have to respond
24:46to this,
24:46and I appreciate
24:47you understanding
24:48my position.
24:49I also appreciate
24:50even more
24:51that you might be
24:52willing to help
24:53me teach him
24:54a lesson
24:54that is long overdue.
24:57Okay, Jack.
24:58Have you changed
24:59your mind?
24:59No.
25:01No, not at all.
25:02But now that
25:03Patty is involved,
25:05it changes everything.
25:06I mean,
25:06if she really
25:07is out there,
25:08if she is lurking
25:09around,
25:10then Victor's
25:11not the only
25:11danger you face.
25:12I am well aware
25:13of the multiple
25:14threats I am facing.
25:15I can handle her.
25:17Can you?
25:18Did you?
25:20Nikki.
25:21Look, I want
25:22Victor to learn
25:23his lesson.
25:24But more than that,
25:25I want this damn
25:26feud to end.
25:28But if you want
25:29revenge,
25:29that's not going
25:30to end it.
25:31It's only going
25:32to incite Victor
25:33more.
25:34And this escalation
25:36has got to stop.
25:37And you and I
25:37both know he's not
25:38going to be the
25:39one to do it.
25:39It sounds like
25:40you want me to do
25:40nothing,
25:41to let him get away
25:42with assaulting me,
25:44my family,
25:45my marriage.
25:45That is not an option.
25:46I know how you feel.
25:50but that madwoman
25:51is back in our lives
25:53again,
25:53no matter how
25:54it happened.
25:54Why don't you
25:55know mad?
25:56You know damn well
25:57how it happened.
25:58I understand
26:00that you want
26:01to strike back.
26:02And I wish that
26:03Victor could
26:04suddenly see
26:05all of the damage
26:06that he has caused,
26:07but I don't know.
26:09I mean,
26:10maybe enough is enough.
26:11Jack,
26:12maybe it's time
26:13for you to lay
26:14down your sword
26:15and end this feud
26:16before more damage
26:18is done.
26:22The Newmans
26:23will always
26:24defend their leader
26:25no matter how
26:25disgusting his
26:26actions are.
26:27As I told Kyle,
26:29I had nothing to do
26:30with my father's plan.
26:31You were still
26:31complicit.
26:32The family benefited.
26:33You got your company
26:34back,
26:34but that's just business
26:36as your father likes
26:36to say.
26:37Am I right?
26:37I'm sorry, Diane.
26:38I'm so sorry
26:38that you've been hurt,
26:40that Jack hurt you.
26:41Victoria,
26:42when will it be enough?
26:43How far is Victor
26:44going to take things?
26:45When will anyone
26:46in your family
26:47condemn that man
26:48for anything?
26:50You know,
26:50I know that I have
26:51issues with your mother,
26:52but at least she had
26:53the courage to stand
26:54up to him
26:54and act on it.
26:56You stood up to Victor
26:56for Claire when she
26:57and I were a couple.
26:58Why can't you do that now?
26:59Oh, because she's
27:00her father's daughter.
27:01That's why.
27:01My father only wants
27:02to get back
27:03what belongs to us.
27:04I know you tell
27:05yourself that,
27:06but Cain and Phyllis
27:08stole those companies,
27:09not Jack.
27:10Victor is just using it
27:12or tried to use it
27:13as yet another way
27:14to destroy Jack
27:15and our family.
27:16If the Abbotts
27:17lost to Beau
27:18and they were fighting
27:20to get it back,
27:21there is no line
27:22that they wouldn't cross.
27:23But when my father
27:23does it,
27:24he's a monster.
27:25What Victor did
27:27was vicious and cruel
27:29and very,
27:30very personal.
27:31And he's taking
27:32pleasure in it,
27:33which is sick.
27:34I mean,
27:34how can you be
27:35okay with that?
27:36My father may have
27:37thrown Patty and Jack
27:38together,
27:39but he certainly
27:40didn't push them
27:40into each other's arms.
27:42And if you're looking
27:43for someone to blame
27:43for your marriage
27:45crumbling to pieces,
27:46maybe you ought to
27:47bring that blame
27:48a little closer to home.
27:59Sorry about that, Mom.
28:01I didn't expect
28:02Victoria to be so cruel.
28:03I'm not surprised.
28:05She, uh,
28:06she really is
28:07her father's daughter.
28:08The fact she can
28:09even defend Victor,
28:10it's unforgivable.
28:12Well,
28:13Victoria's right
28:14about one thing.
28:16Nobody pushed
28:17Jack into Patty's arms.
28:18That strength
28:19was spiked.
28:20He was drugged
28:21beyond being capable
28:22of making a rational decision.
28:25Was he?
28:25You don't honestly think
28:27he would willingly
28:28be with that woman
28:30after everything
28:31she's done to him?
28:32To you?
28:33To our family?
28:35Kyle,
28:35that's what makes it
28:36even more painful.
28:38More humiliating.
28:40Don't you see?
28:41No,
28:41no matter how hard
28:43I,
28:43I'm trying
28:44to convince myself
28:45that Jack was
28:46drugged out of his mind,
28:49he was absolutely
28:51in his right mind
28:52when we found him
28:53in bed with her.
28:55And that has
28:56shattered me.
28:58I mean,
28:59how am I supposed
29:00to make sense of that?
29:04I would like
29:05nothing better
29:06than for this feud
29:07to end.
29:08If only it were
29:09as simple as
29:10wishing it were so.
29:12If I didn't know better,
29:13I think you were
29:14suggesting I was naive.
29:15Nicky,
29:15you are right
29:16about Victor's actions
29:17having a ripple effect.
29:18It doesn't just hurt me,
29:19it hurts people
29:20we care about.
29:21That's why I have
29:22to respond.
29:23He only respects
29:25strength.
29:26Jack.
29:27No, no,
29:27listen to me.
29:27This is the only way
29:28to let him know
29:29he's gone too far
29:30this time.
29:31the only way
29:31to stop him
29:32from doing this
29:32all over again.
29:34Look,
29:34I'm going to go
29:35through with this
29:35whether you're
29:36involved with me
29:37or not.
29:38What's your plan
29:39of action?
29:41I haven't formulated
29:42the perfect plan yet.
29:44But when I do,
29:46he will never know
29:47what hit him.
29:50That's a lot
29:50to think about.
29:51I know,
29:52I know.
29:53But I do hope
29:54that you'll be
29:55part of the fight ahead.
29:57Nothing would
29:57make me happier.
30:00And to have my daughter
30:01on the granddaughter
30:01and fight next to me.
30:05Well, hello.
30:06I didn't expect you
30:07to be here.
30:08Is everything okay?
30:11We're good?
30:12Yeah.
30:12Good.
30:13All right.
30:15Well, look, Dad,
30:16I'm not trying
30:17to take sides
30:18at all,
30:19but I ran into Mom
30:20and she asked me
30:21to stop by
30:21and pick up
30:22a few of her things.
30:23She's lucky
30:24that I didn't
30:26throw her stuff
30:26out on the lawn.
30:28Dad.
30:29What do you mean,
30:29Dad?
30:31Your mother decided
30:32to take Jack Abbott's side,
30:34not your father's side.
30:36I know that.
30:37And I know you're hurt,
30:38but maybe you could
30:39meet somewhere
30:39in the middle.
30:40No.
30:42She would come to me.
30:43Dad, she loves you.
30:45Reach out to her.
30:46I don't want
30:47to discuss it anymore.
30:48Dad.
30:49End of story.
30:49No.
30:50No.
30:57I can't decide
30:58between this cookie,
31:00the muffin,
31:00and the black and white.
31:02Uh, she'll take them all.
31:03Okay, you're spoiling me.
31:05And an oat milk latte,
31:07right?
31:07Yeah, that's right.
31:08But, um, no foam.
31:09No foam.
31:15So, um,
31:17it's a trip
31:17seeing you and Audra
31:18together.
31:20Yeah.
31:21We, uh,
31:23we go way back.
31:25Would you let it go?
31:27I have too much
31:28on my plate right now
31:29to worry about chasing
31:30after some man.
31:32As I recall,
31:33you're pretty good
31:34at multitasking.
31:35Again,
31:36why do you even care?
31:40Well,
31:41I'm gonna,
31:42I'm gonna leave you
31:43wondering.
31:44Later.
31:44Yeah, I hope not.
31:55I have another job
31:56for you.
31:57This time,
31:58it's in town.
31:59But I have to be honest
32:00with you,
32:00it's gonna be ugly.
32:02You're gonna get
32:02your hands dirty.
32:04Is that gonna be a problem?
32:13One oat milk latte,
32:16no foam.
32:17Thanks.
32:20What,
32:21what is with Esther
32:22and the no foam?
32:23It's just
32:24Esther being Esther.
32:33You know,
32:33one day you're gonna
32:34have to tell me
32:34about your history
32:35with Audra.
32:36And I'll tell you mine.
32:47I have no problem
32:48getting my hands dirty.
32:49It just depends on
32:50who I'm getting ugly with
32:51and
32:52how much it pays.
32:55the pay will be
32:55more than acceptable.
32:58And the ugly part?
33:01You're gonna make
33:01a move on Victor Newman.
33:05You okay with that?
33:10He's so angry at Grandma.
33:12Mom is equally as angry.
33:14I just have to hope
33:15that they'll figure it out.
33:16And if they don't?
33:18Oh,
33:18I don't even want
33:19to think about it.
33:22So what were you
33:22and Dad discussing
33:23before I got here?
33:24You looked,
33:25you looked kind of
33:26uncomfortable.
33:28He told me
33:29that the two of you
33:30were gonna go up
33:30against Phyllis
33:31to get Newman Enterprises
33:32back and
33:35he asked me
33:35to work with you.
33:37He wants to show
33:38me the ropes.
33:40How do you feel
33:41about that?
33:43As much as I love
33:44Grandpa,
33:44I don't always love
33:45the way he does things
33:46and
33:47I'm not sure
33:48if I can see myself
33:49working with him
33:50if people are gonna
33:51keep getting hurt.
33:52Which is what
33:53always seems to happen.
33:59Mom,
34:01I know you're hurt
34:03and my heart breaks
34:05for you.
34:06But Dad would never
34:07intentionally hurt you.
34:09His love for you
34:10is everything.
34:11He would never
34:12risk what you have.
34:13Kyle,
34:14he did risk it.
34:17Victoria's right.
34:18Those drugs
34:19didn't force him
34:20to have sex
34:21with that horrible woman.
34:22So whatever moves
34:24she made,
34:25he didn't resist them.
34:27And that
34:28calls into question
34:30everything I thought
34:31I knew about him.
34:32About us.
34:34Mom.
34:35Kyle,
34:36I'm sorry.
34:39I know you love
34:40and respect your father.
34:43And you see him
34:44as your hero.
34:45But I think,
34:46I think you need
34:47to open your eyes
34:48to the very real
34:49possibility that he
34:50does have some
34:51culpability in this.
34:53Dad is the most
34:54honorable man.
34:55I know.
35:00It's the Shelton deal.
35:02This is on a clock.
35:03I have to take this.
35:05Go ahead.
35:08You're right now.
35:09Yeah.
35:11Bye.
35:37Next week on The Young and the Restless
35:39Assuming everything goes well
35:41Maybe we can celebrate later on tonight
35:44I look forward to it
35:48I got a question for you
35:51How far are you willing to go with this woman?
35:58I can still remember how excited Olivia and Drew were setting us up
36:03They thought we were perfect for each other
36:31Join us again for The Young and the Restless
36:34The Young and the Restless
