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?
01:48Well, if you can't turn me away.
02:15That였ưng.
02:16That's a great move.
02:16Thank you tingles.
02:16No.
02:31You look deep and tight.
02:34I haven't changed my mind about the job offer, if that's what you're wondering.
02:38You just came here for the Kringle.
02:41You good?
02:43Fuck.
02:44Yeah, you don't look fine.
02:45Something I can help with?
02:47I'm good.
02:49You know, it's funny.
02:50Lily gave me the same reaction earlier.
02:53Lily?
02:54Yeah, something's going on with her.
02:55I asked her about it.
02:56She shut me down.
02:57Kind of like you're doing right now.
02:58I think it's pretty clear that Lily doesn't want you in her life anymore.
03:02So, instead of getting in her space, maybe you should just accept that.
03:12Hi.
03:13Hey.
03:16Thanks for meeting me.
03:18Yeah, of course.
03:19And for arranging for Malcolm to take the Winner's Jet to Los Angeles.
03:24Oh, my God.
03:24It's the least I could do.
03:26I know that time is really critical right now.
03:28I imagine that Malcolm's with your kids by now.
03:31Yeah.
03:32Maddie and Charlie met him at the plane, and they are all in on trying to save him.
03:37Let's just hope one of them is a match.
03:43This is wonderful, Mom.
03:45It is.
03:46I'm so happy that you're home where you belong.
03:49I'm not staying.
03:51But you...
03:51Oh, it's empty.
03:53I know that Jack is in a meeting at the office, so I figured it was a perfect time for
03:58me to come get a few more of my things.
04:03Um, well, maybe you could stay for a little while.
04:07Maybe you could wait until Jack gets home from work and the two of you could talk.
04:11I mean, I mean, really talk in complete privacy.
04:13You know, Tracy, I know you mean well, but I...
04:15I don't think so.
04:18Diane, I know that your heart is broken.
04:22My brother's is too, and my heart goes out to you.
04:27He is just sick with regret, 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, can't you give Jack that chance?
04:53Darling, I know what's going on between your father and me is upsetting to you.
04:58Mom, I hate it.
05:00But how can you still defend him?
05:03I mean, trying to destroy Jack's marriage?
05:05Mom, I hope that Jack and Diane reconcile.
05:08I truly do.
05:09And yes, a betrayal of that magnitude is very hard to come back from, but I choose to believe if
05:14they love each other enough,
05:15which they do, they'll be okay.
05:17Just like I know that the love that you share with Dad is going to bring you back together.
05:21I didn't think things could get any worse when he threatened to destroy Jabot.
05:26I almost loved him then.
05:28Huh, but you didn't, did you?
05:30But this is much worse than that.
05:33And your father is so outraged that I am upset.
05:36Oh, what did he expect?
05:38Did he think that I would be okay with such a hateful attack on one of my dearest friends?
05:44Mom, Phil is stealing Newman out from underneath Dad has gutted him.
05:49He's off balance right now.
05:51He's furious.
05:52He'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, or feeling, or wants.
06:19Do you have an issue with me, Holden?
06:21There's no issue.
06:23Just don't think that whatever Lily's going through isn't any of your business,
06:26if she doesn't want to talk about it.
06:27Again, I didn't realize you know Lily well enough to speak for her.
06:30Maybe just back off her.
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 he's Lily's biological father?
06:41Look, I'm just trying to drink my coffee in peace.
06:44Holden, I care about Lily.
06:46All right, and despite everything we've been through, she's the mother of my children.
06:50I will always love that woman, so there's something going on with her.
06:54Maybe some things are private.
06:57Private?
06:58Kind of like whatever it is you're going through?
07:01I'm dealing with it.
07:03Deal.
07:05I had a friend in town.
07:07Your best friend.
07:09Damien.
07:10And he died because of your games.
07:12And you know I regret that.
07:14Well, then you offered me a job to use Claire against your grandfather.
07:18He told me that I'd be getting my hands dirty, so...
07:22I'm not so sure you're the person that I'd want to confide in.
07:25If there was even anything to confide.
07:28Yeah, well, when you put it like that, I can't say that I blame you.
07:32But it doesn't mean I'm going to stop trying to figure out why Lily's upset.
07:38You seem to know something.
07:40So you want me to go away?
07:42Well, 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 usual upbeat self.
07:57I just...
07:58I've never met anyone more positive than he is.
08:01Well, he is going to need every bit of that positivity to get through what's ahead.
08:09Do you think that he's going to be okay?
08:11A plastic anemia is very serious.
08:14But we caught it in time.
08:16Michael's good attitude, the love and support of his family, all 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.
08:29Well, don't beat yourself up about something beyond your control.
08:33I know.
08:34It's just that when I had cancer, he 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, is I just want to be a support for him.
08:44The love you have is so wonderful to see.
08:49That's why this has to work.
08:52Because I cannot lose another important man in my life.
08:58Malcolm's a good man, too.
09:00Olivia and Drew knew that one of the main reasons that they set us up.
09:06I was actually around when you were born.
09:09Really?
09:10You were?
09:11I only saw you a few times, but you were the sweetest little girl.
09:17So happy.
09:18But you had zero fear about letting everyone know what you wanted and that you wanted it at that very
09:24second.
09:25Oh, God.
09:27I don't think I've changed very much.
09:31I may not know you very well, Lily, but I feel so close to your family.
09:37I see your love, the way you come together for each other.
09:42And that makes me even more driven to save Malcolm.
09:45Not just for your sake, but for your children's as well.
09:55I wish it were that simple.
09:59It is that simple or as difficult as you choose to make it.
10:03Okay, then I choose to not speak with Jack.
10:06But he wants to hear something.
10:07I know what he wants.
10:08I have more than enough text and voicemails.
10:11He's sorry.
10:12He wants me to say that everything is just fine.
10:15He wants me to forget that I caught him in bed naked with Patty Williams.
10:21He wants to just move along like that never happened.
10:24And I can't do that.
10:26I am still so hurt and so angry.
10:32And I don't want to hear about his feelings and his regret, okay?
10:38And I don't want to say something that I might regret.
10:43So, no, I'm not going to talk to him.
10:45Diane, I 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.
10:59You can choose to hang on to your very justified anger and your hurt.
11:04Or you can embrace the love I know you feel for Jack.
11:07Tracy, where was the love that he supposedly feels for me when he was in bed with that nasty woman?
11:19Oh, all right.
11:21Diane, I am going to say something.
11:23And it may be a huge misstep.
11:26And you're not going to want to hear it.
11:27All right, Tracy, 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.
11:40We all know that.
11:43But he's sick over this.
11:45And this was out of his control.
11:48No, 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 when you fake your own death.
12:02You convinced Jack, your son, that you were dead for years.
12:11And then you showed back up.
12:13You fought like the devil to explain yourself.
12:16Your state of mind.
12:17Your motives.
12:18Because you wanted us to believe that you had changed.
12:23And you succeeded.
12:26You won over Jack.
12:27You won over Kyle.
12:29All of us.
12:31Over a deception you absolutely planned.
12:36It was not just an oops.
12:39So maybe, just maybe, you could give Jack a little grace here.
12:51I have said my piece.
12:53And so if you will excuse me.
13:07I know, Mom.
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.
13:19Not just of losing the business that he's built, but of losing what means the most to him.
13:24It's you.
13:26If he doesn't want to lose me, he knows what he has to do.
13:31Stop.
13:32Stop all the vengeance.
13:34You know, we can rebuild without all this hate.
13:37You two 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, never admitting he does anything wrong.
13:52Maybe the answer is to try to reach out to him again.
13:55Just convince him that you 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 going to happen.
14:05Mom, I'm not saying you have to apologize.
14:07I'm just saying, remind Dad of what he already knows, but he's too proud to admit.
14:12He needs you.
14:14Especially now when he's facing the biggest challenge of his entire life and he's about to go ballistic.
14:20You've always said that you're the check on his worst impulses.
14:24So obviously he needs you now more than he ever did.
14:27Yes, I have always tried to be that voice of reason.
14:31But you and I both know that your father has no problem going behind my back.
14:37Like 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 and refuses to take responsibility for what he has done to
14:57Jack,
14:59eventually we are going to get to a point of no return.
15:03Mom.
15:05Well, as 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.
15:34Well, that isn't our only option.
15:36We'll also network close friends, look 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, but 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 a 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, you chose to raise Holden alone and not tell
16:28Malcolm.
16:29I mean, did you think that he wouldn't embrace his son?
16:33It was a mistake.
16:35I know that now.
16:38You make up all kinds of excuses, convince yourself that you're doing the right thing for everyone involved.
16:46The years pass.
16:48Then one day, it all catches up to you.
16:52One way or another, the 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 got to admit, it is a lie.
17:30And you and Lily just learned about this?
17:33Not just us.
17:35Malcolm had no clue that he had a son.
17:38How did you find out?
17:41My mom came to town, came clean about it.
17:44Apparently, she and Malcolm were an item back in the day.
17:46They ended things.
17:48She left Genoa City to pursue her medical career.
17:50Didn't tell them she was pregnant.
17:52Then, the guy who I thought was my father, once she ended up marrying, he died.
18:01Now, suddenly, I have a father and a sister.
18:08After all these years, why now?
18:11Why'd your mom wait to tell you?
18:14I guess she decided it was time.
18:18Now, it must have been a shock.
18:21You're telling me.
18:31Am I interrupting?
18:33Yes, you are.
18:34I was, uh, I was just leaving.
18:37Thank you for telling me.
18:41Hmm.
18:44Feel free to keep walking.
18:47Why does that make me want to sit down and enjoy this beautiful, fresh air?
18:53Hmm.
18:55Now, whatever you and Cain were talking about seemed pretty serious.
18:59You know, I'm surprised you're not hanging out with your mom.
19:02Coming all the way from Manhattan, I think that she wanted to spend quality time with your baby boy.
19:08I was just going to go meet up with her.
19:11Yeah, I can understand why.
19:15You have a lot to talk about.
19:19What's that supposed to mean?
19:22I know all about it.
19:25You know what exactly?
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.
19:41It's only because she's so concerned for both of you.
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.
19:59I mean, Kyle, what kills me is as right as she is that after all the horrible things that I've
20:06done, I should be able to cut Jack some slack.
20:09But I just, I can't.
20:13My heart won't let me.
20:16Why do you think that is?
20:18I mean, everybody thinks that the solution is for me to just forgive him, right?
20:23To just move along as if it never happened.
20:27To just accept this idea that it wasn't his fault.
20:29Mom, my dad is desperate for you to understand how sorry he is.
20:34And he isn't asking you to forget what he did or even rush to forgive him.
20:38Mom, he knows how much he hurt you.
20:41He's just asking to start a dialogue.
20:46Why?
20:47So he can just make more excuses?
20:50I mean, he says he's sorry, but he refuses to take any responsibility.
20:56Kyle, he was still in bed with her when we walked in on them.
21:02Dad was drugged?
21:04And in spite of that, I see him taking responsibility.
21:07What more do you want from him, Mom?
21:10I mean, what is it going to take for you to get to a place where you can start to
21:14forgive him?
21:15I don't know.
21:16I don't.
21:17And I wish that I did.
21:20Don't you think I want to?
21:23I would give anything if I could look into your father's eyes and trust what I see.
21:28If we could just go back to the way things were.
21:33Maybe just start by saying that.
21:40I can see a lot of Malcolm in your eyes.
21:43And for the first time today, I 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 and a good friend, too.
22:01And I was hoping that you and he could maybe grow closer.
22:08Yeah, I mean, look, I'm not going to hold this against him, right?
22:12It's not his fault.
22:13But I'm not going to automatically just bring him into my family.
22:18I mean, to be honest with you, he still works for my ex, Kane Ashby, which makes me question his
22:25ethics.
22:26Holden has a good heart.
22:28But whatever issues you may have with him working with your ex-husband, I hope that you're willing to give
22:35him 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 when you were talking to Claire.
22:49So why am I not surprised?
22:51I didn't do it on purpose.
22:53I just happened to be at the right place, at the right hut.
22:58Well, now you know.
23:00So you can enjoy that beautiful, fresh air somewhere else.
23:04Really, it's your sister.
23:08Mind blown, right?
23:09Like you care.
23:14Actually, I'm a little hurt.
23:16You're hurt.
23:17Why is that?
23:19Because we have serious history, Holden.
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, you 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.
23:47Let it go.
23:47So, Audra.
23:49You're misreading the room.
23:53I'm actually much more concerned about myself right now.
23:58You don't seem to have a good opinion about your ex.
24:02You could say that.
24:04But I'd argue.
24:05He has good judgment.
24:07He hired Holden.
24:09My sons have a remarkable man.
24:13He's trustworthy, loyal, and he's a hard worker.
24:16Yes, I know.
24:18That is admirable.
24:19But you don't know, King.
24:23What could be so bad about the man that Holden's mere association with him has you unwilling to give your
24:31brother a chance?
24:32Huh?
24:45Let's talk about something more pleasant.
24:49Like, uh, my grandchild.
24:52How are Katie and John?
24:54They're thriving.
24:56I think they're definitely looking forward to summer break, though.
24:59Yeah.
25:00You know how it is.
25:02Good afternoon.
25:04Kyle!
25:05How is your father doing?
25:07He's struggling.
25:09Focusing on work, keeping to himself.
25:11Hardly seen him lately, and we have Victor to thank for that.
25:14Yeah, we're both in agreement on that.
25:17Please remind him that I'm here for him if he needs me.
25:21I will.
25:22Well, um, I better go.
25:27I'll call you later.
25:28Okay.
25:31Bye.
25:34So, Nikki is still staying at the athletic club.
25:38That's right.
25:39And I hate it just as much as you hate your parents being a part.
25:44Let's not make this into some kind of bonding moment.
25:46Our parents' marriages are in trouble for one reason.
25:51Victor's sick need to go after my father.
25:54Not this again.
25:55Yes, this again.
25:57Your family needs to stand up to him and call him out.
26:00Unless that happens, Victor will never learn his lesson.
26:03This war will never be over.
26:05People's lives will be ruined.
26:07People will continue to be hurt.
26:09Is that what you want?
26:13Of course, you find a way to make what's happening in my life about you.
26:18Well, how can I not?
26:21Look, it's obvious you share a deep connection with that brat that you'll tell her anything.
26:28No matter how personal or sensitive.
26:31So now I have to worry that one day you're just going to bare your soul.
26:35Confess all.
26:38In the sad hope that she'll be so impressed, she lets you back into her bed.
26:44You know, I feel sorry for you right now.
26:49I'm going to remind you, yet again, of the hell I'm going to put you through if you tell anyone,
26:55especially that little twit, anything about what happened in the shadow room in L.A.
27:00That is the last thing that's on my mind.
27:07Good afternoon.
27:08What are you doing here?
27:11Hello.
27:12I'm Kane Ashby.
27:13We've heard a lot about you.
27:15Well, I doubt much of it was positive.
27:18You must be Holden's mother.
27:20How do you know that?
27:21I was just with Holden.
27:23And, uh, then he told me.
27:26So you have a brother.
27:29It's a bit of a shock.
27:30I just wanted to see how you were doing.
27:32No, it's not the time, Kane.
27:34Or there's no time like the present, if you'll excuse me.
27:40I hope you'll consider what I've asked.
27:42You stay in touch?
27:44Absolutely.
27:45Nice to meet you.
27:46Likewise.
27:50How are you doing?
27:53I can't do this right now.
27:55Wait, please.
27:57Lily, don't do that.
27:58Don't walk away.
27:59Please.
28:02Would you just talk to me?
28:05I'm worried about you.
28:31You must be caught between your parents and their rift.
28:35So, your answer is, despite the rift in your parents' marriage,
28:40you have no intention of calling Victor out for what he's done.
28:45Instead of condemning my dad, why don't you put yourself in his shoes?
28:50No, thank you.
28:52My dad, he 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.
29:07It's nothing more than an excuse for his bullying.
29:10You and Jack, you were born into this world that you live in.
29:14The money, the power, the influence, all of it.
29:18And maybe you would understand what this is doing to my father better if you lost everything.
29:24I'm going to take that as your promise that what happened in L.A. stays there.
29:28Will that get you out of my sleep?
29:30Still joking about what was it?
29:34Wrecking each other's lives?
29:36Totally.
29:38How are you liking Genoa City?
29:41It's always great to see my son.
29:43Well, Audra was actually just about to leave.
29:45Something about a meeting, right?
29:49Oh, yes.
29:50My meeting.
29:53Well, I, uh, I hope to see you again soon.
29:57Bye.
29:58Bye.
30:01You and Aubrey...
30:03Audra.
30:04Audra.
30:05Spent a lot of time together for two people who don't like each other.
30:09What's up with that, sonny?
30:11Mom, like I told you, just don't worry about Audra.
30:14She's irrelevant.
30:14Maybe someday you'll tell me.
30:17You know, I'm...
30:20I'm more concerned about what's going on right now with Malcolm.
30:25Have you heard any news?
30:25Do you know if either of Lily's kids is a match?
30:28We're still waiting to hear.
30:29One of them has to be, right?
30:32But if they aren't, what does that mean for Malcolm?
30:35Even if you caught it early, he...
30:38He can't afford to wait.
30:43What exactly did Holden tell you?
30:45That Malcolm was his father, and the three of you only just found out.
30:51It's pretty extraordinary.
30:53Yeah.
30:53It's one way to put it.
30:57So, uh, why is all this coming out now?
31:00Why did Holden's mother wait so long to tell all of you?
31:03Well, it's really not any of your business.
31:05If it affects you, it is.
31:07What happened to you wanting nothing to do with me?
31:10Turns out I can't imagine my life without you.
31:14Even if you don't want me anywhere near you.
31:17Well, you were so angry with me.
31:18I still am.
31:20You put me through hell.
31:23Worrying about you and the twins.
31:26Wondering if you were safe.
31:30But I thought about it, and...
31:31If I'm honest with myself...
31:35I put you through hell, too.
31:38For a long time.
31:41So, if you felt the need to collude with Victor to try to get some kind of payback, then...
31:46I understand.
31:50I know you, Lily.
31:51And I know that you...
31:54I know that you try to stay strong for everyone else.
31:56And you try to take on everyone else's pain.
31:59And you pretend that you're fine.
32:01And you never, ever...
32:03Let anyone see how broken up you are.
32:07It doesn't have to be that way.
32:09I'm here.
32:12Okay?
32:14And I just want you to know that whatever it is you need...
32:17You want to vent.
32:18You...
32:19Cry.
32:22You want to yell at me.
32:24Trust me.
32:28Talk to me.
32:30Please.
32:34Diane, you're here.
32:35Does that mean you and Jack have worked things out?
32:38No, it doesn't.
32:39I just came by to pick up a few of my things, and I'm on my way out.
32:43Oh.
32:44Sorry to hear that.
32:46Yeah, so, um, Jack isn't here.
32:48So, if you came by to hold his hand, you know, that special bond you have, you'll have to try
32:52again later.
32:52Diane, wait, wait.
32:54We need to talk.
32:56No, we don't.
32:57Please.
32:58I want to help make things right.
33:09I appreciate your concern for your father.
33:12And might that also mean you're no longer upset with me for keeping the news from you for so long?
33:19I don't know how I feel, and it's going to take some time to process all of this.
33:23It's only fair.
33:27But you still love me, though, right?
33:29I'm your number one fair.
33:31Good, good.
33:32Maybe I'm asking the universe for too much, but I am holding out hope that Malcolm will be cured, and
33:40you two will get to know each other.
33:42And maybe even grow closer to your sister.
33:46Even though I only spent a short time with Lily, she seemed like a good woman.
33:53You know, trust is a very big word, but thank you for your concern.
33:58What does that even mean?
33:59You're just going to shut me out again?
34:01It's all I've got, Kane, okay?
34:03Why do you keep doing this?
34:04Why is it so hard for us to just have an honest conversation?
34:07You're the one that wanted nothing to do with me as of yesterday.
34:10And I was wrong, Lily.
34:12Okay, you know what?
34:12What about Phyllis, huh?
34:13How was she?
34:14Don't do that.
34:15Don't do what?
34:16Don't do that.
34:16Don't push me away, okay?
34:18I'm trying to help you.
34:20Let me.
34:24It's Charlie.
34:25I have to take this.
34:26Wait, our son, Charlie?
34:28What, you can't even answer the phone in front of me?
34:30Okay, goodbye, Kane.
34:34Hey.
34:37Is that a threat?
34:41Hardly.
34:42Oh, that's right, because Victor already tried to make good on that promise,
34:46and thanks to him, my family almost lost Jabot.
34:49My father could lose my mother.
34:51So you saying that my father doesn't know what it's like to have what's near and dear to him threaten,
34:57it rings a bit hollow.
34:59My father loves his family just like your father loves yours.
35:05He would do anything to protect us just like Jack would do anything to protect you.
35:09They have that in common.
35:10Are you for real right now?
35:12You know, you talk about compassion, empathy, and kindness.
35:17Can you just show a little bit for a man who's lost everything and is drowning in pain?
35:26Trust me.
35:27There 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.
35:39For Jack said he loves you so much.
35:42You know, Nikki, I really appreciate that in some twisted way you want to help,
35:46but please hear me.
35:47Help from you is 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 them.
35:59On that, we agree.
36:00I meant to involve Patty.
36:02All right, just, wait, hang on.
36:04Just so you know, anytime anyone mentions her name, it does not help.
36:08It just brings it all up.
36:10Okay.
36:12I mean, he was dropped.
36:14Really?
36:15Are you, of all people, going 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, and I know he's trying to do that with you.
36:30I am so sick of everyone thinking that poor Jack is a victim and 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.
36:45What is it with you and Jack and 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.
37:00Just Jack.
37:02Yes.
37:03Jack saved me.
37:05And 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.
37:14Why don't you focus on your own miserable marriage?
37:18Because I really don't want or need your so-called help.
37:22Diane, if I could just come...
37:24I don't want to do that.
37:27I don't want to do that.
37:28I don't want to do that.
37:29I don't want to do that.
37:29I don't want to do that.
