00:06SÃ, Diana Abbott.
00:08Ah, eso es mi.
00:10Para ti.
00:11Es que es de Jack Abbott.
00:13No, no, ma'am.
00:16Gracias, Abbott.
00:37No, no, ma'am.
01:02No, no, ma'am.
01:51No, ma'am.
01:59Hi.
01:59Hi.
01:59Hi.
02:04Hi.
02:05Hi.
02:07Hi.
02:14Hi.
02:26Hi.
02:26Hi.
02:53Hi.
02:55Hi.
02:56Ah, and does this authority happen to be Victor?
03:02It does.
03:04He summoned me to the ranch to share what he has in mind.
03:10Well, it's no surprise that Victor would attempt to get his company back.
03:17But does he really expect Phyllis and me to just give in, go down without a fight?
03:23What? Given what Victor has in mind, it's pretty much a sure thing that Phyllis is going down, and I
03:35don't want her dragging you down with her.
03:41Okay, well, then it's a good thing you cleared out your office. And by the way, you don't get to
03:46resign. I'm firing you.
03:57Great. That's perfect.
04:12I'm waiting for someone.
04:14You're so calm, cool, and collected, aren't you? You don't look at all like a woman who just had her
04:21family empire ripped out from under her by me.
04:24You look so tense. Is everything good at Summer's conglomerate?
04:29You know how it's going at Summer's conglomerate. Guess what? Your daddy isn't going to get away with it.
04:35I have no idea what you're talking about.
04:37Oh, you expect me to believe that.
04:39I don't care what you believe.
04:40What did you guys do, Victoria? Would you pay all the employees off? Did you threaten them? Did your daddy
04:48do it alone? Did you help?
04:50Guess what? It doesn't matter to me. Siphoning off all of my employees isn't going to change anything.
04:59It's not going to ruin me. If you think that, think again. The only one who might want to do
05:06some rethinking is you.
05:14I won't keep you long. I just wanted to check in.
05:18Actually, I was just head to the office. We'll circle back for making a decision on that, Sarah.
05:23Agreed.
05:24And I'll text you to let you know the coast is clear.
05:27Yeah, I would appreciate that. Thanks.
05:29What's that about?
05:31After my encounter with Diane yesterday, I thought it would be too painful for her to see me two days
05:36in a row.
05:37How ironic. When I stopped by at Chabot, they told me that Diane is working outside of the office as
05:43well.
05:44I guess I'll have the place all to myself.
05:46That might be a good thing. That means Diane's still at the hotel, hopefully receiving my last-ditch efforts to
05:53get through to her.
06:13My darling wife, it seems no matter how hard I try to win you back, I only succeed in pushing
06:20you farther away.
06:25I am doing everything I can to give you space to let you process what has happened.
06:30I will stop making excuses. I was wrong.
06:34And what kills me the most is knowing how deeply I hurt you.
06:40I know there is a part of you that wants to never speak to me again, to shut me out,
06:44to shut out the pain.
06:48But I hope there's another part of you, deep in your tender heart, that knows I love you more than
06:56life itself.
06:57That you will one day be able to look at me again with the love I feel for you.
07:03The love that will never change. The love that is forever.
07:07The love that is ever.
07:23Once old, my Josephine Baker.
07:30Ah.
07:45i know you've been worried about this that if victor went after phyllis that i would be
07:51collateral damage you won't let that happen i'm not a damsel that needs rescue uh you're one of
07:58the smartest women i know and are perfectly capable of taking care of yourself with a little assist
08:06now and then and you advise that i get out now all i can not the worst idea is this
08:17victor talking
08:18did he tell you to whisper dire consequences in my ear he's concerned as i am is this you
08:28protecting me or are you doing that man's bidding
08:34i can't believe that you think i would actually try to play you at victor's behest
08:41wouldn't be the first time
08:45fair enough but i've learned my lesson these are facts and i'm not sharing them with you to scare
08:54you off but to make sure that you are fully informed as to what you're going up against
09:01and as stated i have every confidence in the world that i can give me a little essence yes
09:09i'm going to do that so do you know victor's plan i do so do i you do i do
09:18there was a mass
09:20exodus at summer's conglomerate this morning it's already happening yes people without notice
09:27packing up their desks their offices their cubicles and of course we instantly suspected
09:34that victor was behind it your suspicions wouldn't be wrong
09:42wow victoria was that a threat you're trying to threaten me it's so cute so weak no i'm just
09:49offering some advice well keep your advice to yourself and by the way when you see your daddy
09:54tell him his big move to take me down was a bust is that right yeah in fact you did
10:00lorne and me a
10:00favor i mean we don't have to pay severance it's win-win for us you know it's hard to run
10:07a
10:07multinational corporation with all of those empty offices i mean you think replacing all those
10:12losers is going to be hard it's not going to you think you could beat me at my game that's
10:18never
10:18going to happen
10:24oh well good morning dog here god it's a beautiful day isn't it the air is absolutely inspiring leave
10:33me alone you look a little peaked there and sunshine might do you some good as well the only thing
10:40that
10:40would do me good is when you leave town well diane i have every right to be here i have
10:47been given a
10:48clean bill of mental health from my doctors as you know so i am as sane as anyone in this
10:56town
10:57although that's not saying much i don't know how you convince those doctors that you deserve to be
11:03released but i know the truth and so does everyone else and no one wants you here are you sure
11:10about
11:10that well might be hard for you to accept but jack is very happy that i'm back oh if only
11:24you could
11:25have seen the smile on his face before you caught us dead together they're delusional oh and it's just
11:32a matter of time before i put it there again and again and again get out of my way i
11:41mean diane it's
11:41not like you're by his side he's stuck in this hell hole hmm obviously you're punishing the poor man and
11:51i am more than happy to consult him you are the last thing that jack needs right now
11:57oh back at you babe when are you gonna realize that you don't deserve a man like jack
12:06i mean you might have done a decent job at reincarnating yourself but
12:12i know who you are you are you are the woman who slept with jack when i was pregnant with
12:22our child
12:23i lost that baby because of you that was because you fell after i saw the two of you having
12:31sex in his
12:32office my world imploded because of you
12:41i i found the strength to fight my way to sanity oh and how many people have you poisoned kidnapped
12:51and
12:51shot in the process i regret all of it i'm here to make this right make amends amends
13:00by being part of victor's disgusting kidnapping scheme you're as sick as you ever were you landed the
13:08husband and the money and the fairytale life you dressed yourself up in good deeds and whatever shade
13:16of honesty works for you but the crafts diane they're starting to show aren't they
13:25and when it collapses and it will you'll be far more dangerous than i ever was
13:48i will see you tonight oh wait you haven't eaten yet mrs martinez put together this multi-course
13:55working breakfast for us i'm sorry to miss it but i'll grab something on the way to the office
14:00i'll see you later it's good to see you nikki you too
14:09he's very concerned about you he is the rock i never would have admitted i needed
14:14but it's taken a toll on him and i hate that i've noticed the same thing in victoria
14:21i guess no matter how old our children become they still want to root for their parents to
14:26get back together well i'm sorry to say this but i'm not holding out much hope
14:30that kyle's dreams will come true don't tell me you're giving up on diane i don't want to it just
14:36seems that way i'm sorry yes so am i crestfallen is a better word and look as remorseful as i
14:46feel
14:46i'm also angry that she refuses to even discuss it she doesn't give me the least benefit of the
14:53doubt we're talking about patty williams here i mean there's no way in any state i would willingly go
15:01there well maybe for diane it's less about the willing and more that she can't accept the fact
15:11that it happened at all yeah i'm having a bit of a problem accepting that fact myself i always thought
15:16our love was indestructible diane and i have survived so much and always come out on the other side
15:23stronger well a lot of that is due to your ability to forgive i'm sorry that diane
15:30no no no don't don't blame diane for this there you go again finding understanding for her when
15:37she won't or won't even try to find it for you right now i'm busy blaming victor can you believe
15:45he used patty williams as a weapon against me he would bring that woman back to town after everything
15:51she has done all of the heartache she has caused and to put your marriage and your life in jeopardy
16:01it is absolutely disgusting
16:05my children's dream of seeing their parents reunited may be just that an impossible dream
16:14the thing about my father is that one of his superpowers is he can always see his enemies coming
16:21yeah well i saw him coming i checkmated that's what i did you know i'm not too worried about any
16:27other
16:27lame move that he has against me well you should enjoy being in my father's office because you're not
16:32going to be there for long huh please oh great the day just got great hi hi thanks for joining
16:40me my
16:41pleasure yeah for the most part you said it was important yes it's very important actually um do you
16:49want to sit at the bar to look real you think that i want to overhear your conversation i can
16:54think of
16:54nothing more boring than you two droning on and on oh i can guarantee that you would not find this
17:01conversation boring in fact i think you'd find it very interesting really really phyllis is upset
17:07because uh apparently dozens of employees quit rather than work for the woman who stole my family's
17:13company okay that's not the truth and you know what's even sadder than that her own daughter won't
17:18even speak to her anymore because of what she's done that's right and her son feels the same oh i'm
17:24very
17:24well aware of how dan is it yeah oh okay what are you talking about it's none of your business
17:33phyllis
17:33at least not at this stage what is that supposed to mean i guess you're just gonna have to wait
17:39and find
17:40out how's phyllis handling the walkout how do you think like a badass completely proactive when i left
17:51her she was texting and emailing every candidate we could think of to fill the vacancies not an easy
17:57task i was very concerned about this walkout that it would completely derail all of our plans to
18:04reinvent this company but phyllis said this actually gives us an amazing opportunity to hand pick a loyal
18:13brilliant staff with you at the top of the list you suggested me well she did but of course i
18:22agreed there's no sharper mind i'm flattered so is that a yes because with you as head of legal
18:31and all of the top talent that we plan to recruit we show victor that we survived this attack and
18:38we
18:38ended up on top i'm afraid to tell you this isn't the master plan this is just step one
18:48there's more i'm afraid so and it's predatory
18:58you probably want to get back to your office work on those staffing issues
19:05you don't think i see what you're doing trying to get the bug on your side
19:11she can't hurt me my day started off so well i definitely didn't expect to run in with phyllis
19:19yeah i'm sorry about that oh gosh the woman's insufferable what she's doing to your family is
19:26appalling how are you doing well we're definitely struggling but it's a little overwhelming if i think
19:34about it too much you know my father newmans don't wallow they're proactive we keep our eye on the prize
19:43what is the prize exactly i was going to congratulate you although it may be a little too early
19:52congratulate we've heard that you've been offered the d.a position you know about that oh you know
19:58my dad he always has his finger on the pulse of everything consequential in genoa city
20:03why would what's happening at the d.a's office be consequential to victor what are you up to
20:13my knees he lies the head that wears the crown what you feel on the way of that shining your
20:20crown yeah
20:22you know yeah i'll always be wearing the crown you know why because i'm finally getting what i worked
20:28so hard for what i earned and it feels amazing and why do you look so unhappy
20:45oh thank you predatory it's a very scary word what is victor's strategy
20:59he's gonna give phyllis a taste of her own medicine to quote him
21:05he's developed this ai program that will embed documents a chancellor that will provide evidence
21:12that phyllis along with pain and billy illegally took control of newman enterprises and its entities
21:21and fake evidence i know well has he pulled the trigger yet i mean is this a reality it's already
21:28set in motion it will use the facts of what phyllis actually did to create receipts text emails
21:36documentation all generated to look like the real deal fraud conspiracy corporate espionage you name it
21:44and the fabricated evidence will be strong enough and believable enough to destroy her
21:52unless she gives back the company right
21:57that is correct she's so proud of what she's done
22:02and she is so excited about what we are about to do with this company she's never going to go
22:08for that
22:09well then she will suffer the consequences as will billy and
22:15came
22:22i know you said that um
22:26i can't tell her but i feel like i i need to warn her i need to tell her what
22:33victor's planning
22:36i suppose it doesn't matter if you do or not since the game is already afoot
22:41and i assume that you are going to stay firmly by her side yes
22:45if i'm right i'm going to i'm going to do everything i can to have her back
22:49all right fine okay and since i've committed to having your back
22:55we have no choice but to deal with this together so does that mean that you're coming in as the
23:02head of legal
23:05you're not hearing me
23:08if victor has his way there will no longer be a company to represent which is why we have to
23:15convince our friend to get out from under this before it all goes public
23:21and you're not hearing me there is no way that phyllis is going to cave to victor's blackmail oh okay
23:29well given the serious criminal charges she may be facing the years decades she could be behind bars
23:37this is her only chance to save her reputation such that it is to save her life
23:45i'm telling you mrs martinez outdid herself you're sure you're not hungry her ginger scones are pretty
23:53amazing so are the blueberry muffins well i have to say i've never passed on a scone coming right up
24:03your favorites along with a couple of extras
24:09cozy
24:11diana yeah although i shouldn't be surprised seeing the two of you together it's practically a theme
24:19i just came by to check on your dear dear friend what would he do without you
24:26i should go no no nikki please stay i mean after all jack did get all the trouble to put
24:32together a plate of
24:33your favorites besides i'm not staying long i uh i ran into patty this morning i'm sure that was unpleasant
24:46it was but you know what's even more unpleasant you thinking that a piece of jewelry will somehow make
24:56this all okay as i said in my letter jack i i read the letter and it it was nice
25:05and i'm i'm sure it was sincere
25:08but i i can't i i won't accept this
25:28how it's cheesy
25:32hattie williams
25:35what's the matter kitty cat got your toe what are you doing here
25:40well it has been a long time fellas not long enough
25:44you're still holding a grudge a grudge you tried to kill my daughter i'll be holding a grudge for the
25:50rest of my life yeah you know how sorry i oh my god i heard rumors that you were out
25:57of the psych
25:57hospital i didn't believe it who the hell would do that who the hell would let you and your murderous
26:03toxic mind back into the world
26:11please don't do this the ring is not a bribe it is a gift i want you to have it
26:17how can i accept it
26:20accepting it is basically saying that i forgive you and i'm just not ready to do that do you think
26:26the
26:26day will ever come when you will be ready are you enjoying this of course not i want nothing more
26:36than for you and oh admit it you've never thought that i was good enough for jack and lucky for
26:41you
26:41now that i'm staying at the athletic club you can just waltz in here anytime you like and have them
26:46all
26:47to yourself are you happy now mickey you were one of the best days that genoa city has ever had
26:59that's very sweet of you oh it's true i mean you were so passionate the integrity that you would bring
27:06to the job is exactly what the city needs oh i did love the work seeing justice done in a
27:11world where
27:12it doesn't happen enough i hope you know that the newmans as a family share your commitment to
27:19justice yes i am aware that the newmans are committed to justice especially when it serves them
27:28well there's nothing wrong with applauding when the right decision is made and you have proven very
27:35effective at making those decisions yeah i i still haven't decided if i'm going to take this job or
27:42not oh well what would ensure that that happens yeah it's a popular place this morning
27:50i think you saw phyllis yeah i suppose even bottom feeders need to eat she didn't seem too happy
27:59are you the reason for that i sure as i'll hope so i have addressed the issues done the work
28:08and i have
28:09true remorse for all the people i hurt even you you don't have any remorse you haven't made amends my
28:16daughter could have died because of you but she is alive and well and i have been given a second
28:21chance
28:22which i plan to take full advantage of and you phyllis you have been given more than a few second
28:30chances
28:30yourself i think you would have some compassion for what i'm going through right now you are beyond
28:38redemption beyond therapy beyond help of any kind that you think you're owed some peace shows how
28:45delusional you really are my piece is all i want really is it did you uh get a little peace
28:55on that boat with jack did you oh phyllis you have no idea yeah i'm sure you know you were
29:01part of a
29:02kidnapping it makes you complicit i should call the authorities right now yeah well i was invited
29:07aboard as a guest jack should have thrown you overboard how is summer i mean such a beautiful shut up
29:15girl
29:15shut up don't mention my daughter's name please shut up practically are you still practically besties i mean
29:21or you being you maybe she finally saw what the rest of us already know what the hell are you
29:30talking
29:30about well i would love to uh stay in chat some more but i have some place to be oh
29:43you should see a professional about that anger incredibly unhealthy
29:56was it really just yesterday that we were celebrating with champagne and roses
30:02the bubbles and the flowers weren't even the best part huh now we have a war on our hands
30:09unless we could avoid it oh i'm so glad you're both here
30:14are you all right have you already heard yeah that patty williams is back on the streets yes
30:21uh it should we call the authorities and have them put her back in the hospital i mean which we
30:26do
30:26well as unnerving as it is to have patty back in town i spoke with tracy who's been in contact
30:33with
30:33paul and uh it's genuine she's actually been deemed cured the hell she is well for what it's worth at
30:42at least we all are aware that she's back we'll have our guard up no surprises oh i mean as
30:48long
30:49as my family is safe i i guess i guess i'm gonna have to hope for the best right anyway
30:55okay uh did you
30:57tell me about our job offer i'm hoping you'll say yes the answer is uh i'd like to start by
31:06giving the
31:07principles of summer's conglomerate some extremely sound legal advice
31:15i really should be going you know that's not a bad idea instead of focusing so much energy on my
31:21marriage you might want to pay attention to what's left of yours although how you could forgive that
31:27man for what he did to your bestie here is just beyond me i have not forgiven victor he's gone
31:34too far
31:35oh come on how many times have we heard that over the years but you always go back a new
31:41car
31:41a new shiny bauble hey who knows there might be a gift bag waiting there's no reason to drag nikki
31:47oh of course jack of course you're i don't mean to make you angry though it seems that's all i
31:53can do
31:54lately i just
31:59i love you
32:03no strings no tricks no bribes i i just want for you to someday soon be able to look at
32:11me
32:11and once again see the man who promised to be your home flawed yes imperfect yes
32:19i'm ready to open my arms to you anytime you are ready
32:26enjoy your scouts
32:36so you still think i'm too quick to believe that my marriage is over
32:45thank you for coming by i want to commend you on a job extremely well done
32:53i wasn't sure whether to reach out to you but the results speak for themselves
33:00well it's definitely the best decision i've ever made
33:09how's harrison he's great especially given everything has happened after what your father pulled
33:16well i'm i'm glad to hear he's doing well you know i'd appreciate if you didn't ask about my family
33:22like you cared we've had this conversation more than once you know where i stand what i feel the right
33:28thing for you and your entire family to do is to rein in your father i i'm sorry yeah well
33:36that means
33:37about the same as phyllis saying those words to you nothing no excuse me
33:48what was that all about what did victor do oh my father lost everything for phyllis so
33:54obviously he's desperate to make it right yeah victor's version of justice can be a little out there
34:01he was the victim you can't say the same thing about phyllis what she did was diabolical
34:10that's one of the reasons i asked you to meet ashley or maybe the only reason
34:16what would you say if i told you i was privy to some information
34:20that you might find very interesting if you step back in as a d.a
34:27what kind of information the kind that would take phyllis down for good
34:35i love to hear sound legal advice especially from our head of legal at summer's conglomerate
34:43i'll get straight to the point life is about to get very very bad for you okay
34:49wow my goodness well that's a bad attitude um especially from our head of legal does this
34:56have to do with victor's loyalists quitting it's more than that your business isn't the
35:02only thing in jeopardy it's personal it's as nasty as it gets victor is about to put you in serious
35:10legal jeopardy oh is he okay well i don't have any friends present company excluded of course my kids
35:20don't even want to live on the same planet as i do so if i can handle that i can
35:25handle any sort of
35:26personal attack victor wants to throw my way it's very serious and it's real but i can offer you a
35:35way out
35:39i think i'm gonna have to resign myself to the fact that diane will never get past what happened on
35:47that yacht
35:49she's definitely put up a lot of walls
35:54but that could be a good thing
35:58how can you even say that obviously she is still hurting because she's still very much in love with
36:05you and i believe that where there is love there is hope it is hard to find even a glimmer
36:14of hope
36:15when the woman i love can barely look at me i have tried everything nothing works i know how you
36:23feel
36:24it seems that both of our marriages are reaching the desperate time stage might be time for the nuclear option
36:38newman ranch 2.0
36:44very impressive
36:47i am honored to have been invited
36:50definitely beats transacting our business over burner phones
36:56now patty there's a matter of payment
