00:03What are you doing? Feeling any better?
00:06A little bit.
00:09I don't know. I really felt like I was coming to home with something when I woke up this morning.
00:15Should have known something was wrong. You could barely get out of bed.
00:18Yeah, honestly, should have just stayed there.
00:20I really thought if I got up and got moving around, the exhaustion would go away, but it only made
00:25it worse.
00:30So much for bringing me home. You really didn't have to do that. You could have gone to London, as
00:33planned.
00:33No, I'm not going to leave you home alone here, okay?
00:36No one wants to be by themselves when they're sick.
00:39Besides, who's going to make sure you get plenty of fluids and all the chicken soup that you need?
00:42I will personally nurse you back to health.
00:46Personally?
00:48Talk to Billy to the rescue.
01:02All right, all right, I'm coming. Better have an update on my brother.
01:06No, I'm coming.
01:08Tpark to the rescue.
01:09I'm coming.
01:09I'm coming.
01:27You're coming.
01:35I'm coming.
01:51Oh, Christine, I would have come to you.
01:54I didn't want to wait.
01:56What is so urgent?
01:58I have some disturbing news.
02:01What? Is Mariah okay?
02:03Really? Yeah, for now. But it appears Devon has it out for her, and Sharon, if he gets his way,
02:10it could change everything.
02:14Abby, I don't get it. Why are you so mad at me?
02:16What's so hard to get? You filed a petition to review Mariah's plea agreement.
02:21I know I did. You have a problem with that?
02:23Damn right I do. Because you did it on your own without discussing it with me.
02:27What are you talking? We discussed it right here. This is something that had to be done. I thought that
02:32you were...
02:32What, you thought they were just going to pull Mariah out of her psychiatric care facility and throw her into
02:36prison?
02:37Devon, how could you make such a big decision without talking to me first?
02:44Adam, you're okay. I was so worried.
02:49Oh my gosh.
02:51I'm fine.
02:53What are you doing here?
02:54I mean, is Connor okay? Has something happened at home?
02:57No, everything's fine at home. I thought something bad happened here.
03:03Why would you think that?
03:04Uh, call it a sense? I just had an instinct, and what you said when you opened the door just
03:10confirmed it.
03:11I wasn't expecting you, Chels.
03:15So who were you expecting?
03:18And what kind of an update were you waiting for on Nick?
03:28Billy, you shouldn't change all of your plans just because I have a little bug.
03:34Really, it's important for you to go to London.
03:37London, my mom can wait a few days until you get over whatever you're fighting.
03:41Okay?
03:43Not a big deal.
03:44Stay here and make sure that you're okay.
03:46You need to go check on your mom.
03:49And honestly, I might not even have a bug.
03:51I'm probably just exhausted from overworking.
03:55Getting Spectral's media off the ground is finally catching up to me.
03:57That's what happens when you flip into vacation mode, you know?
04:00You start to rest, your body wants to regenerate, and your immune system shuts down,
04:04and all you want to do is sleep for days.
04:10I'm really sorry I ruined our trip.
04:12Don't be.
04:14I can't believe we were already at the gate, getting ready to board.
04:17I could have just taken a car.
04:19You should have gotten on the plane.
04:21Honestly, if you hurry, I'm sure you can make the next flight.
04:26I'll leave you here, sick, alone.
04:28It's not going to happen.
04:30It's probably just a 24-hour bug, if that.
04:33Go to London.
04:34I'll catch up with you, and I'm feeling better.
04:37What's going on?
04:39Get the feeling that you're trying to get rid of me.
04:44What do you mean, Devon has it out from Mariah?
04:48How?
04:49I filed a petition this morning with the appellate court
04:52to challenge the judge's decision to accept her plea agreement.
04:56What?
04:57Why?
04:58Because he's opposed to Mariah going to a hospital instead of prison.
05:02Can he do that?
05:04Well, I mean, whether it holds merit or not is yet to be determined.
05:08The point is, he did it.
05:09The petition is filed.
05:11I don't blame Devon for being angry at Mariah.
05:15He has every right to feel that way, but he also must know
05:18Mariah would have never taken Dominic had she been in her right mind.
05:22I just never saw this coming.
05:24You'd think that he would be happy that Mariah's finally getting the treatment that she needs.
05:28She is in a secure, safe facility.
05:32She is not a threat to Dominic or anyone else.
05:36I just don't understand this.
05:38This seems cruel coming from Devon, and it makes no sense.
05:44Abby, you're going to have to help me out here because I really thought that we were on the same
05:47page.
05:48And I thought that we were going to let Mariah get the treatment that she needed
05:51and then reassess the situation together.
05:54It was an option we discussed.
05:55It was more than just an option, Devon.
06:00Abby, what if Mariah convinces some doctors that she's fine enough to go back into the real world?
06:05Are you going to be able to live with yourself if she does that?
06:07Because I'm not.
06:09Okay?
06:10The court didn't even notify the parents of the victim about this sweetheart deal that they gave her.
06:16And we had the right to know.
06:17I know, and I wasn't happy about that.
06:19Okay, all right.
06:20So all I'm doing is asking for her sentence to be reviewed.
06:22Because I'm not comfortable with this whole situation.
06:25All she has to do is make some people believe she's fine.
06:27And they probably wouldn't even notify us that they've released her.
06:30Which puts Dominic back in danger.
06:31Is that what we want?
06:32Of course not.
06:33Okay, so what is the problem?
06:35Why are you questioning me on this?
06:40You didn't have to come all this way.
06:42If you had a sense that something was wrong, you could have just called me.
06:45I did call, Adam.
06:47Multiple times.
06:48You haven't exactly been the easiest person to get a hold of.
06:51Well, you know that I'm here on a mission,
06:54so I haven't had a chance to answer the phone every time it rings.
06:57For the record, I did get back to you last night when I had a chance.
07:00I know.
07:02So, if you knew you were coming, why didn't you tell me when we spoke?
07:05It was an impromptu decision, because I could tell you were keeping something from me.
07:10If you felt that way, you could have just asked me.
07:12And you're still dodging my questions, which just confirms my suspicions.
07:16Adam, what the hell is going on?
07:18And where's Nick?
07:19Did something happen to your brother?
07:29Who's this?
07:39I just don't understand.
07:43I thought you made a strong case that this was the best outcome for all parties involved.
07:49And I thought for sure Tavon and Abby saw your point.
07:52What changed?
07:53Apparently, there's been some concern that the DA and the court
07:57didn't properly consult Dominic's parents about their feelings on the ruling.
08:02I assumed that he and Abby wanted this resolution as well.
08:08Tavon is making the claim that Mariah should be facing criminal charges.
08:13Child abduction's a felony.
08:15So, he's asking the court to review Mariah's deal?
08:19Yes.
08:20So, it's possible the plea will be vacated and the judgment will be undone.
08:27So, this nightmare really isn't over, is it?
08:30I'm so sorry.
08:32You know, just when I thought that Mariah was on the road to recovery,
08:36this would be a real setback on so many levels.
08:41You know, after everything that she has been through,
08:44my daughter could still end up in prison.
08:48It's like everybody's so damn concerned about Mariah's delicate psychological condition.
08:53Have we forgotten about the long-term trauma that Dominic could have
08:56from being taken from his parents
08:57by someone who was pretending to be his mom,
09:00calling him a different name for days?
09:01I mean, come on.
09:02Tavon, can you please just, can you lower your voice?
09:06Sorry.
09:07Of course, I have not forgotten the hell that we went through.
09:10We were so worried and so terrified.
09:13Okay, so why are you questioning my motives?
09:15What I'm questioning is why you are carrying around all of this anger.
09:19Abby, you're his mother.
09:21You're Dominic's mom.
09:23Why aren't you as angry as I am?
09:26Okay, I know that you're upset,
09:27so I'm going to let the last part of that sentence go away.
09:31I'm feeling like maybe we weren't 100% clear with each other.
09:35Obviously, we weren't.
09:37Okay, so let me spell my position out for you.
09:40Please.
09:42I've thought a lot about this.
09:45And I really do believe that hospitalization is the best thing for Mariah.
09:50Abby, I'm not insensitive to Mariah's mental state, okay?
09:53I also think she should go to the hospital and get care.
09:56She should get all the care in the world, all right?
09:58I love Mariah.
10:00We wouldn't have our son without her.
10:02I just don't know if any condition excuses what she did.
10:09I am not trying to get rid of you.
10:11I'm not.
10:13I love how caring and concerned you've been.
10:16You dropped everything to bring me home and make sure I was okay,
10:18and that means everything to me.
10:21Seriously, it's one of the many reasons why I love you.
10:23Oh, that's better.
10:24So much better.
10:25That's what I expected to hear.
10:32I'm just really sorry that I derailed our plans.
10:37You're supposed to be on your way to London.
10:38It could be with your sick mother.
10:40Don't worry about that.
10:41Okay?
10:41Right now, I'm going to stay with you until you feel better,
10:43and then we can go to London together like we planned.
10:47Okay.
10:50You know, actually, maybe you should keep your distance,
10:53because I could be contagious,
10:55and I really don't want you to get sick, too.
10:56I think it's a little bit late.
10:59Given our proximity over the last 12 hours,
11:01I don't think that's something we need to worry about, okay?
11:03So I am going to be with you for the duration,
11:06so don't push me away.
11:07Okay, but...
11:08No buts.
11:09Now, tell me.
11:11You want tea or you want soup?
11:12Forget it.
11:14I'm going to get you both.
11:16I'll be right back.
11:18Bye.
11:20Bye.
11:46This is Chelsea.
11:48Adam's partner.
11:50Mother of his child.
11:51The reason knows about you and Connor.
11:54Okay.
11:55I suppose this is who you were expecting earlier?
11:57Yes.
11:58I was expected.
12:00Were you?
12:01It's very interesting,
12:02considering what you said when you opened the door,
12:03that you needed an update on Nick,
12:05so can someone tell me an update?
12:06I'd like some answers.
12:10I don't add anything from Chelsea.
12:14Spider showed up here looking to get back into partnership with me.
12:18With the crisis the family is facing,
12:22I told Risa that I wanted to use my old skills,
12:24make us some money.
12:26And I told him he'd have to prove he still has what it takes,
12:29and that my new partner, Ronnie,
12:31would have to weigh in until I could agree to take him back.
12:34Okay, but what does this have to do with Nick?
12:36Nick and I actually believe that Ronnie was Matt Clark.
12:40Which he neglected to tell me.
12:42Until now.
12:44Well, I convinced Risa to set up one of her high-stakes poker games
12:47to prove my skills again that were so lucrative before.
12:50And he did not disappoint.
12:52It was clear bringing Spider in would give us an opportunity
12:56to make some big bank.
12:57I knew Ronnie was not going to pass that up,
12:59so I arranged for a meeting in my hotel room.
13:03And that is when Nick insisted to go to the meeting first.
13:06Now, I didn't like the idea of Nick facing Matt alone,
13:09but you know how stubborn my brother can be,
13:11so I finally let him go.
13:12You let him go alone?
13:14Look, he was determined, but we had a plan.
13:16I was going to be nearby.
13:18Nick called me before he got into the room,
13:19and he was going to leave his phone on
13:20so I could hear what was happening.
13:22And?
13:22When Nick went in, all I could hear was the door shutting
13:25and sounds of a struggle.
13:27I went after him, but when I got to Risa's room,
13:29nobody was there.
13:32Well, I thought you were putting together this meeting
13:34with Ronnie and Nick.
13:36Ronnie asked to meet him alone, and he's the boss.
13:38Risa came back, and she found me outside,
13:40but when we went inside, nobody was there.
13:43The room was empty.
13:44What?
13:44Nick was gone.
13:45You...
13:46And you haven't seen him since?
13:47They both disappeared.
13:49And did you know that this partner of yours
13:51was really Matt Clark?
13:52I knew Ronnie was an alias,
13:54because I met him first as Mitch McCall
13:56when he was living in Los Angeles.
13:57So you knew him back then?
14:00Adam, our business connection goes back years.
14:03We have to call Sharon.
14:04Adam, this is crazy.
14:05She needs to know that Nick is missing.
14:07Well, we don't know what the situation is.
14:09There's a real possibility that Nick is in charge.
14:12Maybe he's turned the tables on Matt Clark.
14:13If Nick was in charge right now,
14:15if he was in control, you would have heard from him by now.
14:17Adam, he knows how worried you are.
14:19Yes, and I'm expecting to hear from him any minute.
14:21We can't just sit around and wait for the phone to ring.
14:24This is the bad feeling I had.
14:26Your brother could be in serious danger.
14:35Okay, here we go.
14:37You finish this up, get your blanket,
14:38you can cozy up, have a little rest.
14:40I'll even read to you from that novel
14:42that's been sitting at your bedside table
14:44for the last few months,
14:44because you constantly fall asleep
14:46every time you open it up.
14:47So that, in my dull-set voice,
14:49do the trick.
14:50Wow, as lovely as that sounds.
14:53I...
14:54I have way too much work
14:55to just sleep the day away.
14:56Really, my schedule's too busy for that.
14:58Sally, come on.
15:00Don't you think you need to slow down a little bit,
15:02take it easy?
15:03How can I?
15:05I'm in the middle of launching a new company.
15:07And besides, I actually just texted Audra
15:09and told her that I'm not going to London today anyway,
15:11so she's actually on her way over here
15:13for me to sign some contracts.
15:15Sally.
15:16Hey, business doesn't stop for a minor bug.
15:19Minor now, it's going to turn into a major bug
15:21if you don't take care of yourself.
15:22Now, I am the doctor,
15:23and I am prescribing plenty of fluids and rest.
15:26Okay.
15:27But Audra's...
15:28Audra already planned on working today,
15:30so let's just keep it that way.
15:34Now, let's get you some soup.
15:39Look.
15:40That's exactly it.
15:41We don't even know what Mariah's mental condition is.
15:44I know we don't.
15:46We have no idea what made her snap.
15:48Or even the real reason why her and Tessa aren't together anymore.
15:51But I'm willing to bet that whatever it was,
15:53it was probably worse off than what everyone's letting on.
15:56What are you suggesting?
15:58Abby, I don't have to suggest much.
16:00She stole a child.
16:02She stole a child.
16:03And what scares me is that she didn't just steal any child.
16:06She stole the one that she carried for nine months
16:08and had a very difficult time detaching from.
16:10You know this.
16:11Of course I know this.
16:12Okay.
16:13You remember when she fed him at the hospital
16:15when she wasn't supposed to?
16:16So there wasn't any emotional attachment,
16:18yet she did it anyway?
16:19I know.
16:19You weren't happy about that.
16:20She overstepped.
16:22And of course I wasn't happy about that.
16:23Yeah.
16:24She moved, too, after his baptism.
16:27She moved, not just for herself, but for us.
16:30Because she had a hard time detaching from the baby
16:33that she gave up for us after she gave birth to him.
16:37Okay, right.
16:38And my point is, her going after Dominic wasn't random.
16:43Okay?
16:44She knew what she was doing.
16:45She knew why she was doing it, too.
16:47So wait, you think Mariah was in a sound state of mind?
16:51I know that she was planning on never coming back with our son.
16:54That's what I know.
16:55And she was acting like she had every right to have him.
16:57But that's not something that our friend would do
16:59if she was in her right mind.
17:01I completely agree with you.
17:02And let me ask you this.
17:03What if those dark feelings haven't gone away?
17:06Or worse, what if she pretends that they go away?
17:10That's my point in all this.
17:12I still can't get over the fact that Christine and Sharon
17:15didn't even think to talk to us about this plea deal
17:18and getting her psychiatric care.
17:21I just don't understand why you were so hell-bent
17:23on getting revenge on someone we used to consider a close friend.
17:26Devon, what is going on with you?
17:28Abby, what is going on with you?
17:29Why am I the bad guy here?
17:31I'm not the one that committed a felony
17:33of transporting a kidnapped minor across state lines.
17:36Like, why are you turning this around on me?
17:40Let's not jump to any conclusions.
17:42Not until I've had a chance to review the filing
17:44and make a proper defense for Mariah
17:47in case there actually is a review.
17:49And if there is, would Mariah need to be told what's going on
17:55and that her current situation could be changing drastically?
17:59Yeah, she would have to know if the court agrees to it.
18:02If she has to go back to court to face that judge again,
18:07it could wreck any progress she's made.
18:09And if she has to go to prison...
18:11Oh, let's stay it one step at a time.
18:13The court may not even grant the review.
18:16I just want to be prepared either way.
18:18I can't believe this is happening.
18:20Just when I thought that Mariah was on track
18:22to getting her life back, now this...
18:24Sharon, even if they reopen the case,
18:26it doesn't mean that it will be overturned.
18:29Still, just the prospect of disrupting her treatment
18:33that could be a major setback.
18:35And if she has to be taken out of that care facility
18:38and thrown into a jail cell, that is unthinkable.
18:41It's the worst possible scenario.
18:43What if the worst possible happens?
18:46There has to be something we can do.
18:50There has to be some way we can stop this.
18:54So, what have you heard?
18:56Did you find out anything?
18:57Were you able to reach Matt?
18:59Ronnie called, claiming that something came up last night
19:02and he suddenly had to leave.
19:04He said that he was sorry he couldn't stay to meet with you
19:06and that we'd have to schedule another time.
19:08Did he say when?
19:10No.
19:11Did you find out where he was staying?
19:12Still working on that.
19:14Seems like there's a lot you don't know
19:16about the man you claim as your business partner.
19:19We work together.
19:21It's not like we're besties.
19:22The guy's a straight-up con.
19:24He doesn't exactly go around giving out details about himself.
19:26Okay, but let's just calm down.
19:28We're on the same team.
19:30If you don't mind, I'd like to talk to Adam alone.
19:34Oh, I don't mind at all.
19:36Quite happy to escape this little unwarranted interrogation.
19:46Unwarranted interrogation? Really?
19:48You think you can trust this woman
19:49when she's admitted to being partners with Matt Clark?
19:51I never said I trusted her.
19:53I just know her tales from my spider days, okay?
19:56She's not lying.
19:57Not about this.
19:58And you're sure about that?
19:59Yes.
20:02But there is something that I need to tell you,
20:03and it doesn't involve Louisa.
20:05Well, that's a relief.
20:06It involves Nick.
20:08And it has me worried.
20:16I just don't understand why Devon would do such a thing.
20:21Well, I mean, I can't imagine the panic they felt
20:24not knowing what happened to their son.
20:27What Mariah did was inexcusable.
20:30But is he still that angry with her
20:32that he can't see how disturbed she must have been?
20:36Sharon, Mariah isn't the only one
20:38who may have suffered psychological damage.
20:41I mean, who knows what effect ultimately this will have on Dom?
20:45I helped Devon and Abby find a child psychologist.
20:49By all reports, he was fine.
20:52He had one nightmare.
20:53That was it.
20:54And I pray that he continues to be fine.
20:56But Mariah is still suffering from the trauma of her childhood
21:01at the hands of Ian Ward.
21:02He was a true psychopath.
21:04You know, the hallucinations she was having,
21:07that was a cry for help.
21:08I mean, what that man did to her was pure evil.
21:11And what Mariah did was awful,
21:13but it was not the act of a criminal.
21:16Mariah knows that she was wrong,
21:18and she has expressed her remorse repeatedly.
21:24There's only one thing we can do.
21:26Anything.
21:27Go to Devon and try and convince him to reconsider.
21:34Please, Devon, you're making a scene.
21:38I'm sorry.
21:40I, you're just sounding a lot like Lily,
21:43making me feel like I'm the problem,
21:44and I don't know what I'm supposed to say here.
21:46Like, am I too angry?
21:48Is it misplaced?
21:49What is it?
21:50That's not what I'm saying.
21:51What are you saying?
21:52I'm just trying to understand where all this rage is coming from.
21:54It's not rage.
21:56It's not rage.
21:57This is justifiable concern for our family.
22:00And I don't understand why you don't feel the same way I do.
22:03And I don't understand how you could make such a monumental legal decision
22:06without discussing it first.
22:08I mean, you filed a petition without even mentioning it to me.
22:11I apologize.
22:12I sincerely apologize for doing that,
22:14and I will never take a step like that again without you.
22:17I thought we were in agreement.
22:20Obviously, you thought wrong.
22:25You know what?
22:26Why don't you call Audra back and tell her that you're going to take the day off?
22:31Billy, I really appreciate how concerned you are about me.
22:34Look, I really have a lot of work to do,
22:36and Audra's already on her way.
22:42Honesty is our thing, right?
22:45Right.
22:45Okay.
22:46So be honest with me and tell me the truth.
22:49Are you second-guessing coming to London with me?
22:54No.
22:55Why would you think that?
22:56Because it feels like you'd rather just be here and work with Audra.
23:00And I don't know, maybe you're feeling sick
23:01even thinking about facing Jill
23:03and a tension between my mother and me.
23:05Hey, Billy.
23:06Listen to me.
23:08I have no ulterior motives
23:10or second thoughts or remorse about going with you, okay,
23:13and the thought of facing your mother.
23:17I'm just...
23:18It's not that, okay?
23:19I'm just a little worn down.
23:21Okay, well, then that's exactly why you need to rest
23:23and just take it easy.
23:24Well, that's exactly why I didn't get on the flight.
23:28Well, your body's trying to tell you something.
23:30You need to listen.
23:33I am.
23:35But I'm not going to let a minor bug keep me from being productive.
23:40Sally?
23:42Yeah.
23:43Yeah, in here, Audra.
23:46Hello, you two.
23:47I thought you'd be halfway to London by now.
23:50Yeah.
23:51Look, you should probably keep your distance.
23:53You want to get what this one has.
23:56Sally's sick.
24:03What's going on with Nick?
24:05Ever since we got to Vegas,
24:07I've noticed that he's been acting strange.
24:08You know, sort of erratic.
24:11Meaning?
24:13One minute his mood's up, the next it's down.
24:16I actually think this started back in Genoa City
24:18when he had his accident and he had his surgery on his leg.
24:22Yeah, I remember we talked about it back then.
24:24Yeah, well, I didn't give it much thought then.
24:27But ever since we've been here,
24:29I don't know, between his weird behavior and his mood swings,
24:32they just seem to have intensified.
24:34Have you tried talking to him about it?
24:36Asking him questions?
24:37A bunch of times.
24:39And he just changes the subject or he blows me off.
24:43It's like he knows something's wrong,
24:44but he doesn't want to talk about it.
24:47So, what do you think it is?
24:49Honestly, I have to wonder if it has something to do
24:51with the painkillers he was taking after the accident.
25:05Where you been?
25:10I was just, uh, talking to Spider.
25:12Oh, talking.
25:15Talking with Adam, right?
25:17Adam, that's Spider's real name, Adam Newman.
25:20Son of billionaire tycoon Victor Newman,
25:22brother of wannabe superhero Nick Newman.
25:25Did you really think you were going to pull a fast one on me?
25:28Did you really think that I wouldn't figure this out?
25:30I don't know what you're talking about.
25:32So, were you in on the setup from the beginning,
25:34or did Nick and Adam lure you in after the fact
25:36to catch Big Bad Ronnie, huh?
25:38Come on.
25:39Let's go.
25:41Talk to me, sweet cheeks.
25:42What's going on?
25:43Come on.
25:45Game's over.
25:45Deck's gone cold.
25:54Hey, I'm glad we found you together.
25:58I hope you're not planning to try and change my mind
26:02about what I did this morning.
26:04Well, we were hoping to talk to you about that.
26:07Yeah.
26:08I don't think that's necessary.
26:10I think we should save it for our arguments in court
26:13when they review Mariah's plea deal.
26:15Because I think that the victim's parents
26:18deserve to be heard,
26:19and there's nothing you're going to say
26:20that's going to change my mind about that.
26:21But you don't know that
26:23if you won't even listen to what we have to say.
26:25I know, Sharon.
26:26There's no need, though.
26:27I've made this call for my family,
26:29and I think it's the right one.
26:30And I'm sorry that you,
26:32or no one else really,
26:33sees where I'm coming from.
26:35Excuse me.
26:39Are you on board with this?
26:42Possibly getting the court
26:43to reverse my daughter's plea deal
26:45so she'll wind up in prison?
26:47Now, Mariah could be locked away for years.
26:49Are you and Devon honestly okay with that?
26:52I mean, I doubt it would come to that, right?
26:54You can't be sure, can you?
26:57I get the sense that you and Devon
26:59are not on the same page about this.
27:02That's just the sense that I got
27:03when we walked in here just now.
27:05Would you at least listen
27:06to what Sharon and I have to say?
27:11I have no idea
27:13what you're talking about.
27:17You're asking me to believe
27:19that you didn't do any research,
27:20that you didn't know
27:22who Spider really was?
27:24Sure.
27:24I'm not denying that I knew his name.
27:27I just didn't know
27:28why that would matter to you.
27:29Because he's a Newman.
27:32That's important, Risa.
27:33Something like that
27:33doesn't just slip your mind.
27:35So what?
27:36Spider's a Newman.
27:36I found that out
27:37the first time around.
27:39What's it to you?
27:41And why do I get the feeling
27:43you were accusing me
27:44of something nefarious?
27:47Because I am.
27:50Let's go.
27:52Let's go see Adam right now.
27:53Clear this whole thing up.
27:56You really think Nick
27:57has developed a dependency
27:58on his pain meds?
28:00I think that's where it started,
28:02but I'm worried
28:03it's something more serious now.
28:05More serious?
28:07I hate to think it,
28:08but I can't ignore the signs.
28:11And if I am right,
28:12I mean, when I think back
28:13to when I first noticed
28:14something was wrong,
28:15it just...
28:16it makes sense.
28:19I mean, it makes sense,
28:20except that it's Nick.
28:23Golden boys can still
28:24get hooked on drugs.
28:26No, I know.
28:26Of course.
28:26It's just...
28:27it just feels hard to believe,
28:28you know?
28:29I mean, he watched his mother
28:30struggle with addiction
28:30for years,
28:31so to fall into those
28:34same tendencies
28:34just seems unlikely.
28:36I don't know
28:37if I'm right about this,
28:38but if I am,
28:38and he is into something
28:40stronger than prescription pills,
28:41like, Nick did not
28:42get into it knowingly.
28:43If he could have avoided it
28:44and controlled it,
28:45he would have.
28:46Something stronger?
28:48More serious?
28:50Adam, what are you saying?
28:52Do you remember
28:53when Nick told us
28:53that Matt was trying
28:54to get Noah hooked on opioids
28:55back in L.A.?
28:57I hope I'm wrong,
28:59but I fear that Nick
29:01is the one who's hooked now.
29:06I'm so sorry
29:07you're not feeling well.
29:08Talk about rotten luck.
29:10That timing to get sick
29:11right before jitting off
29:12to my old hometown.
29:14Yeah.
29:15And she should be resting
29:17and not working on
29:19solving problems.
29:21I will be fine,
29:23Billy.
29:24Honesty, right?
29:26If the roles were reversed,
29:27I guarantee you'd be
29:28putting up just as much resistance.
29:30I can't argue that.
29:32So please,
29:33just take the next flight out.
29:34Go see your mom.
29:35I'm sure I'll feel better tomorrow,
29:37and I will be right behind you.
29:38That's not going to happen, okay?
29:41I'm not going to leave you here alone.
29:44Okay.
29:46You don't have to go to London,
29:47all right?
29:48But can you please just
29:49leave for a little bit
29:50so we can work?
29:52Are you kicking me out?
29:55I am seriously going to miss
29:57Dr. Billy's bedside manner,
29:59but yes, please,
30:01just chew for a little bit.
30:03You heard the patient.
30:05Nurse Audra will take it from here.
30:07I've got this.
30:08Okay?
30:09Okay.
30:11You're going to call me
30:12if you start to feel worse, right?
30:14I promise.
30:15I promise.
30:16I love you.
30:18Okay.
30:18I love you too.
30:19I'll go check on Jack.
30:20Make sure you're doing okay.
30:21Okay, sounds good.
30:22Give him my best.
30:23I will.
30:24Make sure she drinks,
30:26fluids, everything, please.
30:27Yes, yes.
30:28Thank you, Nurse Audra.
30:33Hey.
30:37Are you sure you're okay?
30:40Did you bring what I asked for?
30:43Adam,
30:44if you really think Nick's got a problem,
30:46you have to get him to open up to you.
30:48Look, I've tried.
30:49He shuts me out every time.
30:51Well, you have to try again.
30:54I will.
30:56Kind of had our hands full.
30:57Here.
30:59Spider, it's me, Risa.
31:08Junior one,
31:09we made a gaffe.
31:11I hear you've been looking for me.
31:22Nobody is sorrier than Mariah for what she's done.
31:25She knows it was wrong.
31:26She's getting the help she needs.
31:29I know that.
31:31The facility where she's at,
31:32it's so secure, Abby.
31:34She can't leave at will.
31:35And most importantly,
31:36she's getting to the root of what caused this whole breakdown in the first place.
31:40I swear to you, Abby,
31:43my daughter is no longer a threat to you or your family.
31:47She's safe where she is.
31:49You and Dom are safe.
31:51Why would you want to have the court overturn her plea deal?
31:57Devon and I went through hell thinking that we might not ever see our little boy ever again.
32:02And as a mother,
32:04I'm sure that was terrifying.
32:06I was terrified for you.
32:08And for Dom and for Mariah.
32:10But from one mother to another,
32:13I can tell you,
32:14you never stop worrying about your kids.
32:18And I know Mariah is an adult,
32:20so for me to compare my concern for her to yours towards your little boy may be wrong.
32:26It's not wrong to care about Mariah's well-being.
32:31You must still have some debt of gratitude toward Mariah
32:35for helping you bring your amazing boy into the world.
32:38Of course we do.
32:39I mean, we wouldn't have Dominic if it wasn't for Mariah.
32:42That's what makes us so much more painful.
32:44But if Devon gets his way,
32:48Mariah could possibly spend a lot of time in prison.
32:52I think that's exactly what Devon wants.
32:55I'm afraid if that happens,
32:58that will break her.
33:00For good, she will never recover.
33:03Look, I know what Mariah did was wrong,
33:06but Dom was never in any danger.
33:10She never would harm him.
33:14Throughout this whole nightmare,
33:15one thing I know for a fact
33:17is that her heart was with Dom the whole time.
33:21Somehow through all of this illness which led her to do this,
33:25her heart always protected Dominic.
33:27But if Devon gets what he wants,
33:31if Mariah does go to prison,
33:33that heart will break.
33:35For good.
33:36And she doesn't deserve that, does she?
33:39You wouldn't want that for her, would you?
33:46You know, it's funny how
33:48buying this still makes me feel exposed.
33:51Like everyone knows my business.
33:53I know, like a terrified teenage girl.
33:55But we aren't that.
33:58No.
33:59Nope, we are grown-ass women.
34:04So.
34:06So.
34:08Are you sure this is even necessary?
34:11Maybe it's something you ate?
34:13Or that bug that's going around?
34:16No, I've been here before, Audra.
34:21I know the science.
34:33Hi.
34:36You are just lovely.
34:40I'm Matt.
34:41I don't believe I've had the pleasure.
34:43Come closer.
34:44I dare you.
34:47I would love nothing more
34:48than to spit in your miserable face.
34:52Spicy.
34:54Yeah.
34:56You sure know how to pick him.
34:58You better not so much
34:59just look in her direction.
35:00This is between you and me.
35:02Now where is my brother, you scumbag?
35:04What have you done with him?
35:10Adam, I...
35:12Yeah, man, I don't know how to do this.
35:13I don't know how to break this to you.
35:16Nick is gone.
35:18What the hell are you talking about?
35:19He's gone, man.
35:20You're not going to be able to see him
35:20or talk to him ever again.
35:22It's so sad.
35:22It's such a shame.
35:23Listen to me.
35:23Tell me where he is
35:24or I swear to you,
35:25your brother OD'd this morning.
35:29Nick Newman is dead.
35:31He's gone.
35:46Son of a toldo came in.
35:47Here he is.
35:48He's gone.
36:01Join us again for The Young and the Restless.
