00:09There's my beautiful bride.
00:12When did you get back?
00:15Oh, I would say about a half hour ago.
00:19But why didn't you call me?
00:21Because I wanted to surprise you.
00:22You did surprise me. This is the best surprise.
00:27What is this?
00:29Oh, well, why don't you sit down, take it, and open it up.
00:34Thank you.
00:36Sure.
00:40Oh, I love it. It's beautiful.
00:43I thought you might like it.
00:45I love it. Wait, when did you have time to shop for me?
00:50Okay, well, I didn't actually have time to shop.
00:53Okay, okay, here's the deal.
00:56It was in the swag bag at the private concert I did in Barcelona, and I thought it would look
01:01really nice on you.
01:02I'm going to put it on right now. Look at this.
01:05Okay.
01:05Okay.
01:05Oh, wow.
01:08Super chic.
01:09Super hot.
01:38Oh, hey, by the way, there's more where that came from.
01:40Because I missed you.
01:44Hey, um...
01:46Yeah?
01:47I have a little surprise at my own.
01:51Uh, well...
01:53Actually, it's kind of a big surprise.
01:57Yes, all the kids got dropped off at school.
02:01It was no trouble at all, I promise.
02:04All right, good luck at your interview.
02:05Keep me posted, okay?
02:07All right, bye.
02:13Hey.
02:15You're avoiding me forever?
02:45You're avoiding me forever.
03:05Knock, knock.
03:07Hey.
03:08I thought you'd like some blooms for your office.
03:10Oh, my goodness.
03:11Did you rob a funeral or a wedding?
03:16No, my husband wanted to surprise me on my first day at work, and he went a little overboard.
03:21Oh, my goodness.
03:22Well, that's a good sign.
03:23I know.
03:24He's so sweet and romantic.
03:26I wasn't talking about him being a good husband, although, of course, he is.
03:29But I'm talking about maybe this means that he is in favor of our partnership, and maybe Victor Newman is
03:41in the rearview mirror for him and fading fast.
03:43I don't know about that, but I do know that I am ready to dig in and work.
03:49Great.
03:50Well, there is a lot of work to do.
03:52There's also a lot of really great things that are happening.
03:56We've had so many wins so far.
03:59Summer's conglomerate.
04:01We're off to a really, really good start.
04:03There's nothing but blue skies ahead.
04:08Is it raining?
04:10Oh, well, the weather forecast calls for bright, sunny skies, but I've got a sneaky feeling that dark clouds might
04:17be rolling in.
04:21Benmore signed me up for an online comedy class.
04:23Pretty good, huh?
04:24Kind of, so done.
04:26Yeah?
04:27Okay.
04:29I called you here to tell you that I have plans to reclaim Newman Enterprises.
04:37All right.
04:38Well, are you sure you want me to be a party to any of those plans?
04:43I know that you may have a conflict regarding that.
04:47Yeah, the fact that my wife is Phyllis's business partner at the moment.
04:52You got it.
04:55Am I here to be warned?
04:57I just want you to know that I planned to force Phyllis to return Newman Enterprises to me.
05:09The plan is in operation right now.
05:20Devon, I just, I don't want to do this right here, right now.
05:23I don't want to do what?
05:24Have a conversation?
05:25Not here in public, no.
05:28Well, you're doing a pretty good job of avoiding me in private, too.
05:32Did you get the text message that I sent you on my way home from work last night about Lillian
05:36Holden?
05:37Yes, I did.
05:38You did?
05:41Didn't make you want to ask any questions about Lillian?
05:44Or about how I feel, having a new family member?
05:49I was in bed when you sent a text.
05:52Okay.
05:52What about this morning?
05:53You were asleep when I left the house.
05:56You left a lot earlier than usual, though.
05:58I had to bring Dom and his friends to school, Devon.
06:01Okay, I mean, what about afterwards?
06:03You could have sent a text message.
06:05You could have called me.
06:07I mean, the news is a pretty big deal, don't you think?
06:10Of course it is.
06:11I know that it is.
06:12You know it is, but I guess it's just disappointing that my wife didn't figure to even acknowledge it.
06:21Well, then why didn't you wake me up?
06:23Why didn't you initiate a conversation, Devon?
06:26I mean, what?
06:28And now with that, we're on the subject of avoiding people.
06:30Why were you in the office so late last night?
06:32I mean, don't do that.
06:33Don't do what?
06:34Come on, don't turn this around, all right?
06:36You've been avoiding me, and I think I have a good idea why.
06:42This was out of the blue, all right?
06:45Completely unexpected.
06:48Apparently, the DA is stepping down.
06:50Health reasons, I guess.
06:52And they want to know if I will finish her turn.
06:57Well, this is great.
07:00Yeah.
07:01No, yes, yes.
07:01I mean, I'm completely flattered that they'd even consider me.
07:04It's not like I haven't done a job.
07:06Yeah, and you were spectacular.
07:08Okay, says you.
07:10Not everyone loved my role there.
07:13But you know what?
07:13I won more than I lost.
07:16Yeah, so, um, all right, so, are you going to accept it?
07:23I'm honestly not sure.
07:25What's holding you back?
07:26I mean, you are.
07:28Me?
07:29Our life together, I sort of like being a semi-retired wife of a rock star.
07:36Cricket, hey.
07:38Come on.
07:40This is, this is your forum, all right?
07:44Law is your passion.
07:46As music is my passion, all right?
07:48And, you know, and I remember how incredibly selfless you were about, you know, going on tour with me.
07:56And that meant so much to me.
07:58It wasn't selfless.
07:58I didn't make sacrifices.
08:00It wasn't anything like that.
08:01I loved every minute of it.
08:03But that's the thing.
08:05If I take this, I can't just fly off to a tour or a concert.
08:39I wouldn't miss that.
08:41If I take this solution, the two of us, we can, all right?
08:43You just have to, you know, you've got to dig deep and just be honest with me and with yourself,
08:50all right?
08:50And in a perfect world, I would be in the DA again.
08:56Would that make you happy?
09:02Fellas thinks that she has smooth sailing.
09:05She's gotten rid of all of the employees that she thought were too loyal to us and kept on all
09:11of the high-level executives who have pledged their allegiance to her and returned for some very hefty raises and
09:17bonuses.
09:18But, sadly for her, it wasn't enough.
09:22You offered them more?
09:24That was her first mistake to assume that I wouldn't spend all kinds of money to get my company back.
09:31Phyllis will lose three-fourths of her workforce in a matter of days.
09:35Those people, they're going to leave that sinking ship, and then the press is going to have a corporate funeral
09:40for poor, poor Phyllis.
09:42And then I shall execute the second part of my plan.
09:47Aside from crippling Summer's conglomerate...
09:50Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
09:51Don't you ever say that word again.
09:54It's Newman Enterprises.
09:56You got that?
09:59Aside from crippling the company, what more is there?
10:04If it is, the second big mistake was that she gave me back control of transfer industries, and I shall
10:11use that against her.
10:14Oh, I spoke to the head of accounting this morning.
10:17Oh, my goodness.
10:18Okay.
10:18What are the numbers?
10:19They are actually great, and projections are even better.
10:24Amazing.
10:25Lauren, we are doing really great.
10:29In six months, we're going to crush it.
10:32And as per your request, I also emailed you some ideas about revamping the company's brand.
10:37Yes, yes, I saw a little bit of that.
10:39I want to get into that with you.
10:40Great.
10:41My goodness, this is so great.
10:45And so, you spoke to the head of accounting?
10:51Yes, this morning.
10:52Why?
10:53He said he's leaving, effective immediately.
10:59Wait a second, wait a second.
11:03There are all these emails from the other department heads.
11:09Oh, my gosh.
11:10I think I'm going to get sick.
11:11What's going on?
11:12No, everybody's leaving.
11:15Everybody.
11:16All the department heads, they're all jumping ship.
11:19This cannot be by accident.
11:21Of course it's not by accident.
11:23Has Victor Newman written all over it?
11:32I don't know what to do.
11:34One minute, I'm excited to get back in the game.
11:37And the next, I'm thinking, why am I even considering this?
11:42I have the perfect life with the perfect man.
11:46Wow.
11:47The perfect man.
11:49Okay, I like that.
11:50I've heard that for quite a while.
11:52You know what I mean.
11:53Okay, okay.
11:53Okay, let's, let's, let's work this out.
11:58Okay, let's weigh the pros and cons, right?
12:02So, no jetting off with your perfect man husband to some fabulous locale where you hear him sing his heart
12:10out.
12:10That's a con.
12:12Exactly what I said, yes.
12:14But, what if I were to cut back on some of my overseas concerts and, you know, spend more time
12:24at home with my beautiful DA wife?
12:26Now, there's a pro right there.
12:30Home would be Genoa City.
12:32Exactly.
12:33We're having to have a son and a granddaughter.
12:35Wow.
12:36There's another pro.
12:37This is incredible.
12:38It's a good pro.
12:39Mm-hmm.
12:46Okay.
12:47So, when do you have to let them know?
12:52I'm sure pretty soon.
12:54Yeah?
12:56Yeah.
12:56You really want me to do this.
12:58I want you to do whatever makes you happy.
13:00That's all I care about.
13:03I'm happy here as long as I'm with you.
13:10Well, I'd tell the two of you to get a room, but I'm pretty sure you've already got one upstairs.
13:14Daniel, come here, you.
13:16Oh, how are you and stuff?
13:18I'm good, I'm good.
13:19Did you just get back?
13:20Yeah.
13:21How was the concert?
13:22Fantastic.
13:23Great crowd.
13:24You were missed.
13:25Uh-huh.
13:26You and Tessa would have wowed them.
13:28Yeah, but, I mean, you know why I had to stay here, right?
13:31Of course, things were just different once Mariah came back in the picture.
13:37Yeah.
13:38Okay, fine.
13:39You want to do this?
13:40Let's sit down.
13:42Thank you.
13:46Okay, yes.
13:48I am so hurt and angry that you decided to go after Mariah behind my back.
13:54Again, I apologize for that, okay?
13:57But you knew where I stood because I told you that I was going to do everything I could
14:01to look into Mariah's plea deal to see what our rights were.
14:04No, no, no.
14:04You didn't tell me that you were going to try to get the plea deal reverse.
14:08No, you didn't say anything like that.
14:10Don't you think that that should have been something you told me that you gave me a heads
14:13up about?
14:14Yeah.
14:15Yeah.
14:15And let's talk about it right now.
14:18It's a little late for that.
14:19No, it's not.
14:20It's not at all because I would love to get to the bottom of why you really have a problem
14:24with what I did.
14:26I am your wife.
14:28We should have made that decision together.
14:30I understand.
14:31But beyond that, I get the feeling you don't want to do anything at all.
14:35I don't understand that because we're both Dom's parents, okay?
14:40And am I wrong to assume that his safety is our number one priority?
14:45That's not the issue and you know it.
14:47It's the issue.
14:48It's the issue for me.
14:49I will always put Dominic first.
14:52Always.
14:53But how does this accomplish that?
14:55How does it accomplish anything?
14:57You must know that you don't have a great chance of overturning her plea.
15:02Of course I know that.
15:03The lawyer told me that it's a long shot, but it's our only option.
15:07It's the only thing we can do and I feel like it's worth it.
15:10Then why would you even try to do that if you know you're going to fail?
15:14What is it?
15:15To try to force Mariah into doing something desperate?
15:21Oh my gosh.
15:24Let's just say you're...
15:26You want to force Mariah so far off the rails that they have no other choice but to take
15:33her out of the hospital and put her in jail.
15:36Okay.
15:36First of all, nobody's hoping that that happens.
15:39But if it does, I mean, is that the worst result?
15:52Don't tell me you're using that damn AI program again.
15:58Not the old one.
16:00The new one.
16:03I hired an AI firm the moment I lost Newman Enterprises.
16:08What exactly does this program do?
16:11It'll prove Phyllis' illegal activities against me and events in my company.
16:17It'll prove there was an exchange of emails and texts between Phyllis and Billy Boy Abbott and
16:23Kane Ashby.
16:25It'll prove that she used AI to sabotage my company.
16:31And all the evidence will be foolproof with dates and digital signatures all appearing to
16:37They have been executed while Phyllis was still running chancellor.
16:41So, you've signed up for this too, Victoria?
16:44What do you expect, Michael?
16:45It's my family's company.
16:46You kneecap the company, you threaten Phyllis with a prison sentence.
16:50That's a nice day's work.
16:52If I knew you were sincere, I would consider that a compliment.
16:56Oh, I am being sincere as far as part of it goes, because if everything is as you say
17:01it is, Phyllis is in trouble.
17:04It's not as if Phyllis won't have a choice, Michael.
17:06She could fight a losing battle for a company that will soon no longer have a workforce and
17:12also be mired in scandal.
17:14Or, hand Newman Enterprises back over to me, and then maybe, maybe I'll let Phyllis go unscathed.
17:29This is okay.
17:30This is okay.
17:31We'll just let Victor overpay all of those stooges and lackeys.
17:36No big deal.
17:37You know what?
17:38This is a really good lesson for us.
17:39It's a good lesson.
17:40And the minute I walked in here, I should have fired every single person.
17:44I didn't do that.
17:45But we need to replace them and fax.
17:47No problem.
17:48I have a file of resumes in there from the best people in the business.
17:52Don't worry about it.
17:53And you don't think that Victor anticipated that and cornered the market?
17:56We will just overpay to get people.
18:00Don't worry about it.
18:01That's not a good idea.
18:03I'm not going to let Victor roll over us.
18:06I'm not going to do that.
18:07I am not suggesting that.
18:08But you know what?
18:09We knew this was coming.
18:11We knew that Victor wasn't just going to walk off and lick his wounds.
18:14And this, this is the first strike.
18:17There could be more.
18:19Listen, this is just a bump in the road.
18:21That's all.
18:22Okay?
18:24Victor underestimated me once.
18:26And I got the best of him.
18:28I'm going to do it again.
18:29No one's going to take this away from me.
18:33Do you really trust this new AI program, Victor?
18:37Yeah.
18:38I do.
18:40It was designed for me personally.
18:43I'm one of the best software engineers in the world.
18:46Yeah.
18:46I'm sure you brought it the best.
18:48You bet.
18:50What if it doesn't do what you ask it to do?
18:53It will do exactly as I ask what you do.
18:56Okay.
18:57Then what if it does more than you ask it to?
18:59Meaning what?
19:00Meaning what if you lose control of it, Victor?
19:08Look, Daniel, I know that you and Tessa broke things off when Mariah came back into town.
19:14And I was pretty insensitive, you know?
19:17Pushing you two to come out of town and do the show with me.
19:21Uh, no.
19:22No, I mean it.
19:23I don't even know what I was thinking.
19:25I mean, you, Tessa, and Barcelona, I mean, could I have rubbed it in anymore?
19:29Okay, look, I appreciate the offer.
19:30And Tessa did, too.
19:33You were invited to come alone.
19:35I know.
19:37I actually thought about it.
19:39But?
19:41I also thought that it might remind me of how great things could have been between the two of us,
19:45so I just figured it was better for me to stay here.
19:49There was that, and then I'm sure another reason for staying was to be here if Tessa needed your support.
19:55Yes, that is also true.
19:58I thought so.
20:01So, um, Devon still hasn't backed down from challenging Mariah's plea deal?
20:08His feet are firmly dug in.
20:13Why?
20:15I think it all comes down to one thing.
20:18He doesn't think Mariah's being punished enough.
20:23So is vengeance what you want?
20:26Is that what's going to satisfy you?
20:28This isn't about revenge, Abby.
20:30It's about justice.
20:32By locking Mariah away for years?
20:35If the court says that that's what should happen, I don't know.
20:37We didn't even get a chance to get there because the judge and the DA threw her a lifeline and
20:41gave her an easy way out.
20:43Who are you right now?
20:44I have never seen you like this before.
20:46Abby, I'm sorry.
20:48I've never lived through having my son kidnapped before.
20:51I didn't get the manual or the pamphlet that tells me how I'm supposed to act.
20:53Did you get one?
20:54Can you just, can you lower your voice, please?
21:00Is it, is it that bad to you for me to want to see the person that took Dominic experience
21:06something that actually makes them think twice about doing it again?
21:11And I'm not talking about some therapy sessions at some cushy hospital.
21:15I highly doubt that Mariah would find her hospital stay cushy or that her time there is not punishment.
21:22Well, I feel like that.
21:23That's how I take it.
21:24And I don't really care what Mariah thinks too much about anything right now.
21:27Yeah, and you obviously don't care what I think either.
21:29That's ridiculous to say.
21:31You know that's not true.
21:32I care very much about what you think.
21:34In fact, I'm very interested to know why you think we should let Mariah have to look.
21:37And why you're not as angry as I am.
21:43Is this wishful thinking only a part of genuine concern?
21:49It's concern.
21:50It's the same concern I had when, when Kane first unleashed that AI monster.
21:56It, he thought he could use it as an ultimate weapon too.
22:00But look what happened to him.
22:02His problem was, he couldn't make up his mind as to what he wanted.
22:05Michael, the AI genie is already out of the bottle.
22:10It's not going away.
22:12It's just changed hands.
22:15Okay.
22:16Okay.
22:16I guess my next question is, why are you telling me all this?
22:20I don't work for you anymore, Victor.
22:22And you know that my wife is currently Phyllis' business partner.
22:26So, I know you're not expecting me to keep this news from Lauren.
22:29So, what is it?
22:30Why the heads up?
22:31Has it occurred to you that, in deference to our past friendship,
22:36I might want to spare your wife unnecessary pain?
22:40All right, that, that sounds like a bit of a threat.
22:45You interpret that as you will.
22:48You should have warned Lauren not to side with Phyllis.
22:51You knew I would prevail.
22:54I warned her.
22:56And?
22:58Now, I'm warning you.
23:00This manufactured evidence you're cooking up to hang Phyllis and Billy and Kane.
23:05Better not involve my wife.
23:07She was brought into the business long after that dog and pony show.
23:10I am telling you to tell your wife to resign.
23:15Be Phyllis to own fate.
23:21I'll pass along the news.
23:23Good.
23:26And, by the way, don't forget your damn umbrella.
23:29Because the storm is brewing as we speak.
23:44Oh.
23:46Oh, no.
23:47There's more bad news.
23:49How could it get worse?
23:50Well, it's not just the executives that are handing in their notice.
23:54It looks like the whole building is heading out the door.
23:59You know what we're going to do?
24:01Replace those traitors.
24:03We can try.
24:04And we could start by you convincing Michael that he needs to come on board as our head of legal.
24:09Oh, I, uh...
24:11I don't know if that's going to happen.
24:13No, no, no.
24:14He can name his price.
24:16It's not money, Phyllis.
24:17Are you kidding me?
24:19He still has loyalty toward Victor?
24:22It's very complicated.
24:25Well, you need to uncomplicate things by making sure that he comes here.
24:30Come on, Lauren.
24:31We need him so bad.
24:32We need him.
24:34Oh, it's a message from Michael.
24:37Uh, he asked if I was free for lunch.
24:42That, that, that is the universe telling you that you need to get him to come work here.
24:50That's what that is, okay?
24:51And that's what you need to do.
24:55Lauren, you need to do whatever it takes to get him here.
25:09I thought I heard your voice.
25:10Look at that.
25:11The product, Lockstar Return.
25:13Good to see you here.
25:15Yeah, looking good.
25:16Thank you.
25:17Um, I didn't want to interrupt your family reunion, but I heard the most interesting rumor that you had been
25:24offered the DA position.
25:25What?
25:26What news travels fast?
25:29They called me less than an hour ago.
25:31Who do you think recommended you for the job?
25:34Uh, so you're behind this.
25:38Yeah, well, you know, I might have tipped the scales a bit, but why not after me?
25:43There is no better attorney in town.
25:46I'll be so modest.
25:47Yeah.
25:48Thank you, Michael.
25:49Like, I really hope you take the job.
25:51Not only because Genoa City needs you, but because Lauren and I would selfishly like to see more of you
25:57guys.
25:58Oh, that goes for me, too.
25:59Since I basically disowned my mother at this point, it'd be nice to have Dad around a lot.
26:03Hey, hey, listen.
26:04I know you're angry with Phyllis.
26:05This goes way beyond anger, Dad.
26:08I mean, I'm through with her at this point.
26:11Summer's through with her.
26:12And she's got what she's always wanted, so why don't you just let her enjoy it?
26:15Alone.
26:16Oh, but she really isn't alone.
26:19Is she, Michael?
26:21I will never for the life of me understand why Lauren would go work for Phyllis and why you didn't
26:27stop her.
26:28Have you met my wife?
26:31I'm not the boss of her.
26:32She's not the boss of me.
26:33Okay, and I understand that, and I should probably keep my mouth shut, but we both know this can't possibly
26:39end well.
26:41Doesn't she see that?
26:45How do you think our talk with Michael went?
26:49That depends on him delivering the message.
26:52You know that things are moving quickly now.
26:55I thought it was very nice of you to give him a warning.
26:59Maybe there was a little part of you that felt like you owed it to him?
27:08Let me put it this way.
27:09I think Lauren made the mistake.
27:11Michael did not.
27:14Well, I just want you to know that I'm proud of you for doing that.
27:20So, you no longer think I'm the meanest man in the world?
27:26I never thought of that.
27:29You can be stubborn sometimes, like now with Mom.
27:34I don't want to discuss that.
27:37Dad, we're about to get everything back.
27:41She should be here for that.
27:43So, can't you just put aside your hurt and your anger and make things right with her?
27:49I know you don't want to lose her.
27:52I know you need each other.
27:58I'm sorry.
27:59I probably shouldn't have said something.
28:01It's okay.
28:03It's just that everything that Phyllis touches...
28:06Hey.
28:07Hi.
28:08Hi.
28:08How are you?
28:10We were just discussing...
28:12Yeah, how the Romulatis may be permanent residents of Genoa City.
28:16Right, darling?
28:17Oh, that's so great.
28:18I can't wait to hear more.
28:20I will explain everything.
28:22It's good to see everyone.
28:23Come.
28:24Talk to you later.
28:25Sure.
28:26Bye.
28:29You really going to take the DA job?
28:32I don't know yet.
28:34It's tempting.
28:37Listen, I know you might not be able to answer this, but if you were the DA, would you have
28:44any poll with the courts about reversing Mariah's plea bargain?
28:50Thank you.
28:53So, tell me more about Danny and Christine.
28:58Later.
29:03Michael.
29:06What's wrong?
29:09All right, there's no good way to come out with this, so I'm just going to say it.
29:14Summer's conglomerate is going down.
29:30Okay, leave, leave, leave, leave, go, go, I don't need you, go.
29:36Damn you, Victor!
29:44Uh, no, the DA isn't involved in reviewing Mariah's plea deal.
29:49It's up to a panel of judges who are meeting today anyway.
29:54That's what I thought.
29:55I just had to ask.
29:57Hey, we understand why.
29:59Yeah.
30:00Listen, if it's any consolation, I don't think Devon has a chance of overturning Mariah's
30:06sentence.
30:07Still possible, though, right?
30:09It's, it's possible, but unlikely.
30:12I just, I wonder if Mariah's going to freak out when she finds out Devon's trying to do
30:17this.
30:17You know, she's not exactly in a great place right now.
30:20Starting to wonder if that's his ulterior motive.
30:24What, to drive her further over the edge?
30:26I, I'm just running out of explanations.
30:29A civil suit won't get Devon what he wants, and his lawyers must have told him this appeal
30:34is a long shot.
30:35It just doesn't sound like Devon at all.
30:38It isn't.
30:39But sometimes when people get angry or scared, it changes them.
30:46Usually not for the better.
30:50Why are you doing this?
30:53I, I don't know another way to say it.
30:55I'm doing it for our son's safety.
30:58It's as simple as that.
31:00And you honestly believe that if Mariah goes to jail, it will accomplish that.
31:05You know what?
31:05You keep asking me that question, Abby, and I'm going to keep telling you the same thing.
31:08I only care about what happens to my son.
31:11Our son.
31:12Our son.
31:13Don't you think I have a stake in this, too?
31:15Obviously.
31:16Obviously.
31:17You're just not acting like it with me right now.
31:19Why?
31:20Huh.
31:21Please, please.
31:22Enlighten me.
31:23Devon, what am I supposed to do?
31:25I, you know, nothing, I guess, right?
31:29Just like what you're doing.
31:31That is so unfair.
31:32Abby, what's been fair lately?
31:35You tell me.
31:36Is it fair that Dominic got kidnapped?
31:38Or that Lily and the twins disappeared and we had no idea what the hell happened to him?
31:42Is it fair that Mariah get released from a hospital and still be a threat to our family?
31:46How about the fact that I have a new family member that I don't trust at all?
31:50Like, nothing has been fair.
31:51But you know what would help?
31:52If my wife had more understanding for me than she does for the person that put our son in literal
31:58danger.
31:59And if you don't think that's how close it got, you're kidding yourself.
32:10Your mother knows how to make things right.
32:14And so far she has decided not to do it.
32:17What?
32:17Admit she was wrong?
32:26She doesn't want to be here.
32:30And you and I and the family have to adjust to that.
32:35And move on.
32:39Michael, it's been a very long, very weird morning.
32:44So if you know something, please tell me.
32:49All right, I promise.
32:52But you can't go back and tell Phyllis.
32:54You've got to swear to that.
32:56You know what a loose cannon she can be.
32:57And I don't want you pulled into this situation any deeper than you already are.
33:01I don't like the sound of this.
33:04We're not going to like the rest of it either.
33:10I think the consensus is that everybody wants you to take this GH.
33:14I mean, that's really sweet.
33:16I just still have to think about it.
33:19How about this?
33:20I will decide by tomorrow.
33:22Okay.
33:23All right.
33:23Well, I'm going to leave you to it then.
33:25Oh, no, no.
33:25Wait, wait.
33:26Hey, I didn't mean that.
33:28What'd you have in mind?
33:30Um, well, why don't we go upstairs and see what else is in that little goodie bag you brought home
33:36for me?
33:37Yeah, sometimes it's good to distract yourself.
33:39Well, your mind works on the problem.
33:42Yeah.
33:42You do something else.
33:44Yeah.
33:44Well, what are we doing sitting here?
33:45Oh, let's go.
33:47Let's go.
33:48We're after you, darling.
33:51Wow.
33:51So this is just all about you.
33:55Is that what I show?
33:56Pretty much.
33:57About me?
33:57Yeah.
33:58It's about you.
33:59You did all the worrying.
34:00You did all the suffering.
34:01You, you, you.
34:02All right.
34:02Hey, if that's the only point that you took from everything I said, I mean, what do I say?
34:07Well, that and that Mariah should just get whatever's coming to her.
34:11This is about trying to prevent her from doing what she did again.
34:16Devon, I don't just see Mariah as the woman that took our son.
34:21She also gave us our son.
34:23Yeah.
34:24Mariah is a close friend of ours, and now she needs help.
34:27Okay.
34:28Oh, well, you know what?
34:29Then, Abby, let's help her.
34:31Let's help her.
34:32Let's invite her to dinner tonight.
34:34Or no, here, better off.
34:35Let's go on a date, and she can babysit Dominic because she's our friend.
34:39You're being such a jerk right now.
34:41I'm not trying to be a jerk.
34:42I'm not.
34:43I'm trying to be on my wife's side here.
34:44You want to protect the kidnapper, I want to protect our son.
34:47No, you want a pound of flesh, and you're not going to be happy until everybody's as miserable as you
34:52are.
34:57Hey, Vaughn, you got a minute to...
35:09What's going on, Abby?
35:11Why is your man still trying to punish Mariah?
35:16I don't know.
35:18It's not right.
35:19I know it's not right, but he won't listen to anyone.
35:23Daniel, I love my husband, but I don't know what to do.
35:28Daniel, I've never seen him like this before.
35:32I don't want to start a fight with you, Dad.
35:35The only people who can solve this are you and Mom, and I'm hoping that you can.
35:42Oh.
35:43Have you heard from Nick, who's in Adam?
35:47Nope, and I'm trying not to take that as a bad sign.
35:53I have my people in Las Vegas to look into it.
35:56I guess we're just going to have to trust that Adam and Nicholas are handling their business so that we
36:00can take care of ours.
36:02And we will handle ours.
36:05We're going to get Newman back, okay?
36:09And have Pellis pay for it.
36:14Okay, Michael.
36:15You've prepared me.
36:16Now tell me what the bad news is.
36:21By the end of the week,
36:25Summer's conglomerate will cease to exist.
36:28Phyllis will lose control of it.
36:31And what's left of her mind?
36:35Well, you know, when I said name your prize, I wasn't kidding.
36:38You can highly recommend it.
36:40Right?
36:41Well, we're prepared to...
36:45What do you mean you can't?
36:50Has Victor Newman gotten to you too?
37:05Well, I'll see you next time.
37:05I'll see you next time.
37:05Bye-bye.
37:05Bye-bye.
37:06Bye-bye.
37:06Bye-bye.
37:06Bye-bye.
37:07Bye-bye.
37:08Bye-bye.
37:08Bye-bye.
37:09Bye-bye.
37:09Bye-bye.
37:09Bye-bye.
37:09Bye-bye.
37:09Bye-bye.
37:11Bye-bye.
37:12Bye-bye.
37:13Bye-bye.
