00:00Technically, that was on Jack.
00:03Are you still taking your father's side in this?
00:07No, Mom. No sides.
00:09I mean, obviously, I want you and Dad to resolve things,
00:12but it's not as if he was on that yacht with Jack and Patty.
00:17Jack was drugged, says Jack.
00:22Look, I'm sorry if things got messy,
00:24but whatever happened in Jack and Diane's marriage,
00:27I'd say that's on them, not Dad.
00:29Besides, he was right.
00:30His plan worked because Chancellor's backing him in hands where it belongs.
00:34That doesn't mean that what Victor did was okay.
00:38And as much as I loathe Diane, I can't help but feel for Jack.
00:43What if they can't come back from this?
00:45I don't care about Jack and Diane.
00:47I care about you and Daddy.
00:49What if you can't come back from this?
00:55Whoa.
00:56Oh, Ms. Martinez just made some fresh brownies.
00:58I suggest you try one while they're still hot.
01:01Maybe I will take you up on them.
01:03What have you got there?
01:05These are notes for a book I'm about to start.
01:08Oh, that's exciting.
01:10We'll see.
01:10I mean, I still have to sort of weed through all of my scribblings on random pieces of paper
01:15and try to structure some sort of actual plot.
01:19Wish you could come up with a plot to save my parents' marriage.
01:22Oh.
01:24I was up half the night worried about them.
01:26You too?
01:27Yeah.
01:28I wish we could just get your mother to hear Jack out.
01:32Yeah, we'll just be in the same room.
01:37Well, hello.
01:39Huh?
01:41Are you back?
01:45Does this mean you're going to give Dad another chance?
01:49He's going to give Dad another chance.
01:50He needs to be done.
01:51Yeah, we'll do it.
02:07Yeah, it's been great.
02:07You're just looking for me.
02:07Yeah, we're going for you.
02:08Yeah, I was looking for you.
02:31you look deep and tight
02:34i haven't changed my mind about the job
02:36offers that's what you're wondering
02:37you just came here for the kringle
02:41you good
02:43fuck yeah you don't look fine
02:45something i can help with i'm good
02:49you know it's funny lily gave me the same reaction earlier
02:53lily yeah something going on with her i asked her about it she shut me down
02:57kind of like you're doing right now i think it's pretty clear that lily
03:00doesn't want you in her life anymore so instead of
03:05instead of getting in her space maybe you should just accept that
03:35thanks for meeting me
03:38one of them is a match
03:43this is wonderful mom
03:45it is i'm so happy that you're home where you belong
03:49i'm i'm not saying but you know it's it's empty i know that jack is in a meeting at the
03:55office so
03:56i figured it was a perfect time for me to come get a few more of my things
04:02um
04:04well
04:05maybe you could stay for a little while maybe you could wait until jack gets home from work and the
04:10two of you could talk i mean i mean really talk in complete privacy
04:13you know tracy i know you mean well but i i don't think so
04:17i am
04:19i know that your heart is broken my brothers is too and my heart goes out to you
04:27he is just sick with regret and and he will do anything absolutely anything to make this right
04:33he just needs to know what anything means to you
04:36so if there's any way that you could maybe break your silence just say to him what's in your heart
04:43he will listen
04:45please diane
04:47can't you give jack that chance
04:53darling i know what's going on between your father and me is upsetting to you mom
04:58i hate it
05:00but how can you still defend him i mean trying to destroy jack's marriage
05:05mom i hope that jack and diane reconcile i truly do
05:09and yes a betrayal of that magnitude is very hard to come back from
05:41but i choose to believe if they love each other enough
05:44mom phil is stealing newman out from underneath dad has gutted him
05:49he's off balance right now he's furious he's desperately trying to find a way to win the company back
05:55that does not give him license to go after jack who is completely innocent in this
06:02and it doesn't give him license to attack me throw me out of my own home
06:08simply for standing up for what's right
06:12i didn't realize you know lily well enough to know what she's thinking
06:15or feeling
06:17or wants
06:19do you have an issue with me holden
06:21there's no issue
06:22just don't think that
06:24whatever lily's going through isn't any of your business
06:26if she doesn't want to talk about it
06:27again
06:28i didn't realize you know lily won't have to speak for her
06:30maybe just
06:31back off
06:32she's got enough going on with her dad
06:34her dad
06:35malcolm's going through some stuff
06:36how do you know that
06:38he's lily's biological father
06:40look
06:42i'm just trying to drink my coffee in peace
06:44but holden
06:44i care about lily
06:46all right
06:46and despite everything we've been through
06:48she's the mother of my children
06:49i will always love that woman
06:51so
06:51look
06:52if there's something going on with her
06:54maybe some things are private
06:57private
06:58kind of like what
06:58whatever it is you're going through
07:01i'm
07:01i'm dealing with it
07:02deal
07:05i had a friend in town
07:07your best friend
07:08damien
07:10and he died because of your games
07:12then you know i regret that
07:14well then you offered me a job
07:16to use claire against your grandfather
07:18he told me that i'd be getting my hands dirty
07:21so
07:22i'm not so sure you're the person
07:24that i'd want to confide in
07:25if there was even anything to confide
07:27okay
07:28well when you put it like that
07:29i can't say that i blame you
07:32but doesn't mean i'm gonna stop
07:33trying to figure out why
07:34lily's upset
07:38you seem to know something
07:40so you want me to go away
07:41well then you should talk
07:45is lily in trouble
07:50so how was malcolm when you dropped him off
07:53i mean he was his
07:54usual upbeat self
07:57i just
07:57i've never met anyone more positive than he is
08:01well he is going to need every bit of that positivity
08:04to get through what's ahead
08:09do you think that he's gonna be okay
08:11a plastic anemia is very serious
08:13but we caught it in time
08:16michael's good attitude
08:18the love and support of his family
08:20all that is definitely in his favor
08:22yeah
08:24all we have to do is just find him a match
08:27i just really wish it could have been me
08:28well don't beat yourself up about something beyond your control
08:33i know it's just that when i had cancer
08:36he flew out to be with me
08:38and he was such a big part of my support system
08:41and that's what i want
08:42is i just want to be a support for him
08:45the love you have
08:48it's so wonderful to see
08:49that's why this has to work
08:52because i cannot
08:53lose another important man in my life
08:57malcolm's a good man too
09:00olivia and drew knew that
09:02one of the main reasons that they set us up
09:06i was actually around when you were born
09:09really you were
09:11i only saw you a few times but
09:14you were the sweetest little girl
09:16so happy
09:18but you had zero fear
09:20about letting everyone know what you wanted
09:23and that you wanted it at that very second
09:25oh god
09:27i don't think i've changed very much
09:31i may not know you very well lily but
09:34i feel so close to your family
09:37i see your love
09:39the way you come together for each other
09:42and that makes me even more driven to save malcolm
09:45not just for your sake
09:47but for your children's as well
09:55i wish it were that simple
09:59it is that simple
10:00or as difficult as you choose to make it
10:03okay then i choose
10:04to not speak
10:05with jack
10:06but he wants
10:07i know what he wants
10:08i have more than enough text
10:10and voicemails
10:11he's sorry
10:12he wants me to say that everything is just fine
10:15he wants me to forget
10:17that i caught him in bed
10:19naked
10:20with patty williams
10:21he wants to just move along
10:23like that never happened
10:24and i can't do that
10:26i am still
10:28so hurt
10:29and so angry
10:31and i
10:32i don't want to hear about his feelings
10:35and his regret
10:37okay
10:37and i
10:39no i just
10:40and i don't want to say something that i'm
10:42i might regret
10:43so no
10:44i'm not going to talk to him
10:45diane
10:46i understand your need to protect yourself
10:48i really do
10:50sadly no one can undo what's been done
10:53but he is just devastated by this
10:56you do have a choice moving forward
10:58you can choose to
10:59hang on to your
11:01to your
11:02very justified anger
11:03and your hurt
11:04or you can embrace the love
11:06i know you feel for jack
11:07tracy
11:08where was the love that he supposedly feels for me
11:12when he was in bed with that nasty woman
11:19oh
11:20all right diane
11:21i am going to say something
11:23and it may be a huge misstep
11:26and you're not going to want to hear
11:27all right
11:27just tracy
11:28just just say it so i can go back
11:31jack made a mistake
11:34well it was more than an oops
11:36i know that
11:38jack knows that
11:39we all know that
11:42but
11:43he's sick over this
11:45and and this was out of his control
11:47no i i that is a point that i am not going to agree with
11:50and i know that too
11:51so let me argue this
11:54you have made a few mistakes of your own diane
11:58you made a huge mistake
12:00when you fake your own death
12:02you convinced jack your son
12:06that you were dead
12:08for years
12:10and then you showed back up
12:12and you fought like the devil
12:15to explain yourself
12:16your state of mind
12:17your motives
12:19because you wanted us to believe that you had changed
12:23and you succeeded
12:25you won over jack
12:27you won over kyle
12:29all of us
12:31over a deception
12:33you absolutely planned
12:36it was not
12:37just an oops
12:39so maybe
12:41just maybe
12:42you could give jack
12:44a little gracier
12:49i
12:52have said my piece
12:53and so if
12:54you will excuse me
13:07i know
13:07mom
13:08i know that dad has behaved badly
13:11his methods have been a little extreme
13:15but i truly believe it's because he's terrified
13:18not
13:20just of losing the business that he's built
13:22but of losing what means the most to him
13:24it's you
13:26if he doesn't want to lose me
13:28he knows what he has to do
13:31stop
13:32stop all the vengeance
13:34you know we can rebuild without all this hate
13:36you too want to reconcile don't you
13:39i love your father
13:41but he needs to understand how inhumane he was
13:46what if he doesn't
13:47well then we're back to your father
13:49never admitting he does anything wrong
13:51maybe the answer is to try to reach out to him again
13:54just convince him that
13:56you and dad are better together than apart
13:59i should reach out to him
14:01after how hateful he has been
14:03oh no that's not gonna happen
14:04mom i'm not saying you have to apologize
14:07i'm just saying remind dad of what he already knows
14:10but he's too proud to admit
14:12he needs you
14:14especially now when he's facing
14:16the biggest challenge of his entire life
14:18and he's about to go ballistic
14:20you've always said that you're the check on his worst impulses so obviously he needs you now more than he
14:26ever did
14:27yes i have always tried to be that voice of reason
14:30but you and i both know that your father has no problem going behind my back
14:36like when he put jack on that yacht and torpedoed his marriage
14:43i've actually never seen you this angry before
14:47please tell me that dad hasn't torpedoed yours
14:51if he continues to place the blame on me
14:53and refuses to take responsibility for what he has done to jack
14:59eventually we are going to get to a point of no return
15:03mom
15:05as far apart as you and dad are right now
15:09i have to believe that you're going to find a way back to each other
15:14well darling you better prepare yourself because it might not happen that way this time
15:20as optimistic as i am that one or both of the twins will be a match
15:26we have to be prepared if that isn't the case
15:29yeah i mean i know there's the registry but that could take months right or even years
15:34that isn't our only option we'll also network close friends
15:39look into launching a public campaign to find a donor
15:43we will do whatever it takes
15:46i'm holding on to that
15:49i know this is scary
15:51but i promise you we will get malcolm to the other side
15:55we have to
15:57i mean i know that he's strong but
16:00a disease like this can knock the wind out of anyone
16:03and then him finding out that he has a son
16:06i mean that's overwhelming
16:10i imagine you're not happy with me for keeping the secret of holden for so long
16:18well i mean i'll be honest
16:20i don't really understand why how after even your husband died
16:25you chose to raise holden alone and not tell malcolm
16:29i mean did you think that he wouldn't embrace his son
16:32it was a mistake
16:34i know that now
16:38you make up all kinds of excuses
16:41convince yourself that you're doing the right thing
16:44for everyone involved
16:46the years pass
16:48then one day
16:49it all catches up to you
16:52one way or another
16:54the lies have a way of resurfacing
16:59please
17:00i just want to help lily
17:04i guess there's no reason to keep this secret
17:08it's not like it's not going to come out
17:10what secret
17:12it turns out lily and i are related
17:15that malcolm's my father too
17:18lily's your half sister
17:21surprise
17:22so that's what you meant when you said lily had enough to deal with
17:26you gotta admit it is a lie
17:30and you and lily just learned about this
17:32not just us
17:35malcolm had no clue
17:36that he had a son
17:38how did you find out
17:41my mom came to town
17:42came clean about it
17:43apparently she and malcolm
17:45were an item back in the day
17:46they ended things
17:47she left genoa city to pursue her medical career
17:50didn't tell them she was pregnant
17:52then
17:53the guy
17:54who i thought
17:55was my father
17:56once she ended up marrying
17:59he died
18:01now suddenly
18:02i have
18:03a father
18:04and
18:05a sister
18:08after all these years
18:09why now
18:10why'd your mom wait to tell you
18:14i guess she decided it was time
18:18that must have been a shock
18:21you're telling me
18:30am i interrupting
18:32yes you are
18:34i was uh
18:35i was just leaving
18:37thank you for telling me
18:43feel free to keep walking
18:46why does that make me want to sit down
18:49and enjoy this
18:49beautiful
18:50fresh air
18:53hmm
18:55now whatever you and kane were talking about
18:57seemed
18:58pretty serious
18:59you know i'm surprised you're not hanging out with your mom
19:02coming all the way from manhattan
19:04i
19:05think that she wanted to spend quality time with your baby bone
19:09i was just gonna go meet up with her
19:12yeah i i can understand why
19:15you have a lot to talk about
19:19what's that supposed to mean
19:23i know all about it
19:26you know what
19:27exactly
19:29that lily winters is her sister
19:35to think i shouldn't have come back here
19:37maybe maybe i should have waited till tracy was gone too
19:40it's only because she's so concerned for both
19:43really
19:43so concerned that she threw that in my face
19:46and reminding me that i am forever the villain in my marriage
19:50that i'm only here by the grace of the abbot
19:52mom that wasn't her intention
19:55no i know it wasn't
19:57she's not wrong
19:58i mean kyle what kills me is as
20:01as right as she is
20:03that after all the horrible things that i've done
20:06i should be able to cut jack some slack
20:09but i just
20:11i can't
20:12my heart won't let me
20:16why do you think that is
20:18and every
20:19everybody thinks that the solution is for me to just
20:21forgive him
20:23right
20:23to just
20:24move along
20:25as if it never happened
20:26to just accept this idea that it wasn't his fault
20:29but that is
20:30desperate
20:31for you to understand how sorry he is
20:34and he isn't asking you to
20:35forget what he did or even rush to forgive him
20:38mom he knows how much he hurt you
20:41he's just
20:42asking
20:43to start a dialogue
20:45why
20:46so he can just make more excuses
20:49i mean
20:50he says he's sorry
20:52but he refuses to take
20:53any responsibility
20:55kyle
20:57he was still
20:58in bed with her
21:00when we walked in on them
21:02dad was drugged
21:03and in spite of that
21:05i see him taking responsibility
21:07what more do you want from him mom
21:10i mean
21:11what is it gonna take for you to get to a place
21:13where you can start to forgive him
21:15i don't know
21:16i don't
21:17and i
21:18i wish that i did
21:20don't you think i want to
21:23i would give anything
21:25if i could look into your father's eyes
21:27and trust what i see
21:28if we could just
21:29go back to the way things were
21:33maybe just
21:35start by saying that
21:40i can see a lot of malcolm in your eyes
21:43and for the first time today
21:46i saw malcolm in my son's eyes
21:50my gosh i cannot believe that he is my brother
21:55i hope you don't hold any of this against holden
21:57he's a wonderful man
21:59and a good friend too
22:01and i was hoping
22:03that you and he
22:04could maybe grow closer
22:08yeah i mean look
22:09i'm not gonna hold this against him
22:11right
22:11it's not his fault
22:13but i'm not gonna
22:14automatically just
22:15bring him into my family
22:18i mean to be honest with you
22:20he still works for my ex
22:21kane ashby
22:22which
22:23makes me question his ethics
22:25holden has a good heart
22:28whatever issues you may have
22:30with him
22:31working with your ex-husband
22:33i hope that you're willing to give him a chance
22:36get to know him
22:37let him prove himself
22:41were you eavesdropping this thing
22:43no
22:44i was eavesdropping earlier
22:46when you were talking to claire
22:48so why am i not surprised
22:51i didn't do it on purpose
22:53i just happened to be
22:55at the right place
22:56at the right hut
22:57well
22:59now you know
22:59so you can enjoy that beautiful fresh air
23:02somewhere else
23:04really is your sister
23:07mind blown right
23:09like you care
23:12actually i
23:13i'm a little hurt
23:16you were hurt
23:17you were hurt
23:17why is that
23:19because we have serious history
23:21holden
23:22and if there's anyone you could confide in it would be me
23:26i mean we know all each other's secrets
23:29but instead
23:31you shut me out
23:34and you were a complete jerk about it
23:36then you went blabbing to pathetic little claire bear who you've known for a nanosecond
23:42so i should have told you because you care so much
23:46let it go

23:57you don't seem to have a good opinion about your ex

24:14loyal

24:16yes i know
24:18that is admirable
24:19but
24:19you don't know king

24:25that holden's mere association with him
24:29has you unwilling to give your brother a chance

25:44let's not make this into some kind of bonding moment

28:34so your answer is
28:37despite the rift
28:38and your parents marriage
28:39you have no intention of calling victor out for what he's done

28:50no thank you
28:51my dad
28:53he had nothing
28:55and he achieved everything
28:57he built an empire from the ground up
28:59a legacy that we can be proud of
29:01everything
29:02and yet it's all been taken away from him
29:04practically overnight
29:05yeah i've heard it a million times

33:49she seemed like a good woman
33:52you know trust is a very big word

34:30okay goodbye kane
34:34hey
34:37is that a threat
34:41hardly
34:42oh
34:42that's right because victor already tried to make good on that promise
34:46and thanks to him
34:47my family almost lost jabot
34:49my father could lose my mother
34:51so you saying that my father
34:53doesn't know what it's like to have what's near and dear to him threatened
34:57it rings a bit hollow
34:59my father
35:01loves his family
35:03just like your father loves yours
35:05he would do anything to protect us just like jack would do anything to protect you
35:08they have that in common
35:10are you for real right now
35:11you know you talk about compassion and empathy and kindness
35:16can you just show a little bit for a man who's lost everything and drowning in pain
35:26trust me there is nothing you can do to make this right
35:31regardless of how we feel about one another i think what victor did is inexcusable
35:38and i want to help for jack said he loves you so much
35:42you know nikki i really appreciate that in some twisted way you want to help
35:45but please hear me
35:47help from you
35:48is the last thing i want right now
35:50diane you are his world
35:53your marriage has made him so happy and it's unconscionable that victor would try to destroy
35:59on that we agree
36:00i meant to involve patty
36:02all right just wait hang on just so you know
36:04anytime anyone mentions her name it does not help it just brings it all up
36:10okay
36:12i mean he was dropped
36:14really
36:15are you of all people
36:18going to give him a pass for bad behavior because he was high
36:22is that what they teach you in aa
36:25they teach us how to make amends when we fall
36:28and i know he's trying to do that
36:30i am so sick of everyone thinking that poor jack is a victim
36:36and that he deserves compassion from me
36:38diane he was kidnapped
36:40no one forced him into that bed with her
36:43we don't know
36:44oh my god
36:44what is it with you and jack
36:46and and and and this this unhealthy need to fix each other's lives
36:51you know that's how we got into this mess in the first place
36:54jack just had to come to your rescue in that hotel suite
36:57no one else could fix it
36:59not even your husband just jack
37:01yes
37:02jack save me
37:04and victor has made sure that he has paid the price
37:08over and over again
37:09that's why i want help now
37:12all right i got an idea
37:13nikki
37:14why don't you focus
37:15on your own miserable marriage
37:18because i really don't want
37:20or need
37:21your so-called help
37:22diane if i could just come
37:24me
37:25oh no
37:27oh no
