00:07Yes?
00:08Diane Abbott?
00:09Ah, that's me.
00:10For you.
00:12Is that from Jack Abbott?
00:13I don't know, ma'am.
00:35Look, this serum has been struggling for a while.
00:38I mean, corporate marketing suggests we do an altogether rebrand.
00:41We target different demographics.
00:43We go after micro-influencers in adjacent communities.
00:46What do you think?
00:49New name, new demographic, it's the same product.
00:52We can tell the attributes all we want.
00:54If it's fundamentally flawed, why are we throwing good money after bad?
00:57Maybe we should just dump the whole damn thing.
01:00Come on, coming from the guy who loves nothing more than reviving a product the world has declared dead?
01:04You love this stuff, proving the naysayers wrong.
01:07Maybe the naysayers are right sometimes.
01:09The numbers certainly support it.
01:12Okay, my advice, let's just table this for now.
01:14Wait, we have to decide.
01:16No, I understand, but I think your lack of enthusiasm has more to do with the hell you've been going
01:21through than the product itself.
01:23Then you could be right.
01:32Hi.
01:32Hi.
01:33I hope you don't mind me dropping by and announce your office said you were working at home today.
01:37Please come in.
01:38Not much work is getting done.
01:41Oh, Jack, you're exhausted.
01:44I can vouch for the fact that he spends most nights pacing.
01:48Is it just me, or does it seem like things are getting worse by the moment?
01:52It is definitely not just you.
01:56It is ...
01:56I know.
02:24Do you multiply?
02:25I know where you're going from.
02:25I want to know why we're working at home too.
02:31what do you mean that summer's conglomerate will cease to exist and phyllis will lose
02:35everything i have it on good authority that there's already a plan in motion
02:42to burn it to the ground ah and does this authority happen to be victor
02:50it does he summoned me to the ranch to share what he has in mind
02:59well it's no surprise that victor would attempt to get his company back
03:04but does he really expect phyllis and me to just give in go down without a fight
03:12given what victor has in mind it's pretty much a sure thing that phyllis is going down and i don't
03:21want her dragging you down with her
03:26okay well then it's a good thing you cleared out your office and by the way uh you don't get
03:31to
03:31resign i'm firing you
03:37ah

03:51sitting alone i see that's no shock
03:55i'm waiting for someone so calm cool and collected aren't you
04:01you don't look at all like a woman who just had her family empire ripped out from under her by
04:06me
04:07you look so tense is everything good it's summer's conglomerate you know how it's going at summer's
04:12conglomerate guess what your daddy isn't gonna get away with it i have no idea what you're talking
04:18about oh you expect me to believe that i don't care what you believe what did you guys do victoria
04:23would you pay all the employees off did you threaten them did your daddy do it alone did you help
04:30guess what it doesn't matter to me siphoning off all of my employees isn't gonna change anything

05:07yeah i would appreciate that thanks
05:10what's that about
05:11after my encounter with diane yesterday i thought it would be too painful for her to see me two days
05:16in a row
05:17how ironic when i stopped by at chapeau they told me that diane is working outside of the office as
05:22well yeah i guess i'll have the place all to myself that might be a good thing that means diane's
05:28still
05:28at the hotel hopefully receiving my last ditch efforts to get through to her
05:51my darling wife it seems no matter how hard i try to win you back i only succeed in pushing

05:58farther away
06:02i am doing everything i can to give you space to let you process what has happened
06:06i will stop making excuses i was wrong
06:10and what kills me the most is knowing how deeply i hurt you
06:15i know there is a part of you that wants to never speak to me again to shut me out
06:20to shut out the pain
06:23but i hope there's another part of you deep
06:25in your tender heart
06:28that knows i love you more than life itself
06:31that you will one day be able to look at me again with the love

07:16i know you've been worried about this
07:18that if victor went after phyllis that i would be collateral damage
07:22i won't let that happen
07:23i'm not a damsel that needs rescue
07:26uh
07:27you're one of the smartest women i know
07:29and are perfectly capable of taking care of yourself
07:34with a little assist now and then
07:36and you advise that i get out now all i can
07:42not the worst idea
07:45is this victor talking
07:47did he tell you to whisper dire consequences in my ear
07:52he's concerned as i am
07:54is this you protecting me or are you doing that man's bidding
08:01i can't believe that you think i would actually try to play you at victor's behest
08:08wouldn't be the first time
08:12fair enough
08:14but i've learned my lesson
08:16these are facts
08:18and i'm not sharing them with you to scare you off
08:21but to make sure that you are fully informed as to what you're going up against
08:27and as stated
08:28i have every confidence in the world that i can
08:31give me a little assistance

08:49yes
08:50people without notice
08:51packing up their desks
08:53their offices
08:54their cubicles
08:54and of course we
08:56instantly suspected that victor was behind it
09:00your suspicions wouldn't be wrong
09:04wow victoria was that a threat
09:07you're trying to threaten me
09:08that's so cute
09:09no

09:20in fact you did lauren and me a favor
09:22i mean we don't have to pay severance
09:24it's win-win for us
09:26you know it's hard to run a multinational corporation with all of those empty offices

09:36beat me at my game that's never gonna happen
09:47oh well good morning

09:58air and sunshine might do you some good as well
10:01the only thing that would do me good
10:03is when you leave town
10:05well diane i have every right to be here
10:08i have been given a clean bill of mental health from my doctors as you know so
10:13i am as sane as anyone in this town
10:18although that's not saying much
10:20i don't know how you convince those doctors that you deserve to be released but i know the truth and
10:26so does everyone else and no one wants you here
10:29are you sure about that
10:32well
10:33might be hard for you to accept but
10:37jack

10:40that i'm back
10:42oh if only you could have seen the smile on his face before you caught us in bed together

10:57i mean diane it's not like you're by his side
11:01you're stuck in this
11:03hell hole

11:11you are the last thing that jack needs right now
11:15back at you babe
11:18when are you gonna realize that you don't deserve a man like jack
11:22i mean you might have
11:24done a decent job at reincarnating yourself
11:27but i know who you are
11:32you are the woman who slept with jack when i was pregnant with our child i lost that baby because
11:39of you
11:39that was because you fell
11:42after i saw the two of you having sex in his office
11:54but i found the strength to fight my way to sanity
11:59oh and how many people have you poisoned kidnapped and shot in the process
12:05i regret all of it
12:09i'm here to make things right
12:10i'm here to make things right make amends
12:11amends by being part of victor's disgusting kidnapping scheme
12:16you're as sick as you ever were you landed the husband and the money and the fairy tale life
12:23you dressed yourself up in good deeds and whatever shade of honesty works for you
12:29but the cracks
12:30but the cracks
12:31diane they're starting to show aren't they
12:35and when it collapses
12:36and it will
12:39you'll be far more dangerous than i ever was
12:57i will see you tonight

13:10it's good to see you nicky
13:11you too
13:16he's very concerned about you
13:18he is the rock i never would have admitted i needed
13:21but it's taken a toll on him and i hate that
13:24i've noticed the same thing in victoria
13:27i guess no matter how old our children become
13:30they still want to root for their parents to get back together
13:33well i'm sorry to say this but i'm not holding out much hope
13:36that kyle's dreams will come true
13:39don't tell me you're giving up on diane
13:40i don't want to it just seems that way
13:44i'm sorry
13:44yeah so am i
13:48crestfallen is a better word
13:49and look as remorseful as i feel
13:51i'm also angry
13:52that she refuses to
13:54even discuss it
13:56she doesn't give me the least benefit of the doubt
13:58we're talking about patty williams here
14:00i mean there's no way in any state
14:03i would willingly go there
14:06well
14:08maybe for diane it's less about the willing and more that she can't accept the fact that it happened at
14:15all
14:15yeah i'm having a bit of a problem accepting that fact myself i always thought our love was
14:21indestructible
14:21diane and i have survived so much and always come out on the other side stronger
14:26well a lot of that is due to your ability to forgive i'm sorry that diane
14:32no no no don't blame diane for this
14:34there you go again finding understanding for her when she won't or won't even try to find it for you
14:41right now i'm busy blaming victor
14:44can you believe he used patty williams as a weapon against me
14:48he would bring that woman back to town after everything she has done all of the heartache she has caused
14:55and to put your marriage and your life in jeopardy
15:00it is absolutely disgusting
15:04my children's dream of seeing their parents reunited may be just that
15:09an impossible dream
15:12the thing about my father
15:14is that one of his superpowers is
15:17he can always see his enemies coming
15:19yeah well i saw him coming i check made it that's what i did
15:22you know i'm not too worried about any other lame move that he has against me
15:26well you should enjoy being in my father's office because you're not going to be there for long
15:30hmm oh great the day just got great
15:35hi
15:36hi thanks for joining me
15:37my pleasure
15:38yeah
15:39for the most part
15:41you said it was important
15:42yes it's very important
15:43actually um do you want to sit at a bar to look why
15:47you think that i want to overhear your conversation i can think of nothing more boring than you two droning
15:53on and on
15:54oh i can guarantee that you would not find this conversation boring in fact i think you'd find it very
15:59interesting
15:59oh really really
16:00yeah phyllis is upset because uh apparently dozens of employees quit rather than work for the woman who stole my
16:07family's company
16:08okay that's not the truth and you know what's even sadder than that
16:11her own daughter won't even speak to her anymore because of what she's done
16:15that's right and her son feels the same
16:17oh i'm very well aware of how dan
16:19oh okay
16:21what
16:22what are you talking about
16:24it's none of your business phyllis
16:26at least not at this stage
16:28what is that supposed to mean
16:31i guess you're just gonna have to wait and find out
16:35how's phyllis handling the walkout
16:37how do you think
16:38like a badass
16:41completely proactive
16:42when i left her she was texting and emailing every candidate we could think of to fill the vacancies
16:48not an easy task
16:49i was very concerned about this walkout that it would completely derail all of our plans to reinvent this company
16:56but phyllis said this actually gives us an amazing opportunity to handpick a loyal brilliant staff
17:06with you at the top of the list
17:09you suggested me
17:10well she did but of course i agreed
17:12there's no sharper mind
17:15i'm flattered
17:16so is that a yes
17:17because with you as head of legal
17:20and all of the top talent that we plan to recruit
17:23we show victor that we survived this attack and we ended up on top
17:28i'm afraid to tell you this
17:31isn't the master plan
17:33this is just step one
17:35there's more
17:37i'm afraid so
17:39and it's predatory
17:49you probably want to get back to your office
17:51work on those staffing issues
17:55you don't think i see what you're doing trying to get the bug on your side
18:01she can't hurt me
18:03my day started off so well i definitely didn't expect a run-in with phyllis
18:08yeah i'm sorry about that
18:10oh gosh the woman's insufferable
18:12what she's doing to your family is appalling
18:16how are you doing
18:17well we're definitely struggling
18:20but it's a little overwhelming if i think about it too much
18:24as you know my father newmans don't wallow
18:26they're proactive
18:27we keep our eye on the prize
18:31what is the prize exactly
18:33i was gonna congratulate you
18:36although it may be a little too early
18:39congratulate me
18:40we've heard that you've been offered the da position
18:42you know about that
18:44oh you know my dad he always has his finger on the pulse of everything consequential in genoa city
18:50why would what's happening at the da's office be consequential to victor
18:56what are you up to
18:58an easy line's the head that wears the crown
19:02what
19:03you feel on the way to that shiny new crown yet
19:07you know
19:08yeah
19:08i'll always be wearing the crown
19:11you know why because i'm finally getting what i worked so hard for
19:14what i earned
19:15and it feels amazing
19:17and why do you look so unhappy
19:28oh thank you
19:30predatory
19:31it's a very scary word
19:34what is victor's strategy
19:41he's gonna give phyllis a taste of her own medicine to quote him
19:47he's developed this ai program
19:50that will embed documents
19:52a chancellor that will provide evidence that phyllis along with pain and billy
19:58illegally took control of newman enterprises and its entities
20:03fake evidence
20:04fake evidence
20:04i know
20:05well has he pulled the trigger yet i mean is this a reality
20:08oh it's already set in motion
20:10it will use the facts of what phyllis actually did to create receipts
20:15text emails documentation all generated to look like the real deal
20:19fraud conspiracy corporate espionage you name it
20:23and the fabricated evidence will be strong enough and believable enough to destroy her
20:31unless she gives back the company right
20:35that is correct
20:36she's so proud of what she's done
20:40and she's so excited about what we are about to do with this company
20:45she's never gonna go for that
20:46well then she will suffer the consequences as will billy and
20:52kane
20:59i know you said that um
21:03i can't tell her but
21:05i feel like i i need to warm her
21:07i need to tell her what victor's plan is
21:11well i suppose it doesn't matter if you do or not since the game is already afoot
21:16and i assume that you are going to stay firmly by her side
21:19yes
21:20damn right i'm going to
21:22i'm going to do everything i can to have her back
21:24all right fine okay
21:26and since i've committed to having your back
21:30we have no choice but to deal with this together
21:33so does that mean that you're coming in as the head of legal
21:38you're not hearing me
21:42if victor has his way there will no longer be a company to represent
21:47which is why we have to convince our friend to get out from under this
21:50before it all goes public
21:54and you're not hearing me
21:55there is no way that phyllis is going to cave to victor's blackmail
22:00oh okay well
22:02given the serious criminal charges she may be facing
22:05the years decades she could be behind bars
22:08this is her only chance to save her reputation such that it is
22:12to save her life
22:16i'm telling you mrs martinez outdid herself
22:19you sure you're not hungry
22:21her ginger scones are pretty amazing
22:23so are the blueberry muffins
22:26well i have to say i've never passed on a scone
22:29coming right up
22:32you're a favorite along with a couple of extras
22:38cozy
22:39damn
22:40yeah although i shouldn't be surprised
22:42seeing the two of you together
22:44it's practically a theme
22:46i just came by
22:48to check on your dear
22:50dear friend
22:51what would he do without you
22:54i should go

25:23the integrity that you would bring to the job is exactly what the city needs
25:27well i did love the work seeing justice done in a world where it doesn't happen enough
25:32i hope you know that the newmans
25:34as a family share your commitment to justice
25:37yes i am aware that the newmans are committed to justice especially when it serves them
25:45well there's nothing wrong with applauding when the right decision is made
25:50and you have proven very effective at making those decisions
25:53yeah i i still haven't decided if i'm gonna take this job or not
25:58so well what would ensure that that happens
26:03yeah it's a popular place this morning

26:37and you phyllis
26:39you have been given

28:34well as unnerving as it is to have patty back in town
28:37i spoke with tracy

28:42she's actually been deemed cured

29:00anyway
29:01okay uh did you tell them about our job offer
29:04i'm hoping you'll say yes
29:06the answer is uh
29:09i'd like to start by giving the principals of summer's conglomerate some
29:15extremely sound legal advice
29:19i really should be going
29:20you know that's not a bad idea
29:22instead of focusing so much energy on my marriage you might want to pay attention to what's left of yours
29:28although how you could forgive that man for what he did to your bestie here is just beyond me
29:34i have not forgiven victor
29:36he's gone too far
29:37oh come on
29:38how many times have we heard that over the years
29:41but you always go back
29:42but you always go back
29:42a new car
29:44a new shiny bauble
29:45hey who knows there might be a gift bag waiting for you
29:48there's no reason to drag nikki
29:49oh of course jack of course you're jumping to hard offense
29:51i don't mean to make you angry
29:52oh
29:53though it seems that's all i can do lately
29:55i just
30:00i love you
30:03no strings
30:04no tricks
30:05no bribes
30:06i
30:06i just want
30:07for you to someday soon
30:09be able to look at me
30:11and once again see the man
30:12who promised to be your home
30:15flawed yes
30:16imperfect yes
30:18but ready to open my arms to you anytime you are ready
30:25enjoy your scouts
30:34so you still think i'm too quick to believe that my marriage is over
30:43thank you for coming by
30:45i wanted to commend you on a job extremely well done
30:51i wasn't sure whether to reach out to you
30:54but the results speak for themselves
30:57well it's definitely the best decision i've ever made
31:08how's harrison
31:09he's great
31:10especially given everything that's happened after what your father pulled
31:14well i'm i'm glad to hear he's doing well
31:17you know i'd appreciate it if you didn't ask about my family like you cared
31:21we've had this conversation more than once
31:23you know where i stand
31:24what i feel the right thing for you and your entire family to do
31:28is to rein in your father
31:31i'm sorry
31:32yeah well that means about the same as phyllis saying those words to you
31:37nothing
31:37no
31:38excuse me
31:43what was that all about what did victor do
31:46my father lost everything to phyllis so obviously he's desperate to make it right
31:51yeah but victor's version of justice can be a little out there
31:56he was the victim
31:57you can't say the same thing about phyllis
32:00what she did was diabolical
32:04that's one of the reasons i asked you to meet actually
32:07or maybe the only reason
32:10what would you say if i told you i was privy to some information
32:14that you might find very interesting if you step back in as a da
32:20what kind of information
32:22the kind that would take phyllis down
32:25for good
32:28i love to hear sound legal advice
32:31especially from our head of legal at summer's conglomerate
32:35i'll get straight to the point
32:37life is about to get very very bad for you
32:40okay
32:41wow
32:42my goodness well that's a bad attitude
32:44um especially from our head of legal
32:46does this have to do with victor's loyalist quitting
32:49it's more than that
32:51your business isn't the only thing in jeopardy
32:54it's personal it's as nasty as it gets
32:58victor is about to put you in serious legal jeopardy
33:01oh is he
33:03okay
33:04well i don't have any friends
33:06present company excluded of course
33:09my kids don't even want to live on the same planet as i do
33:12so if i can handle that
33:14i can handle any sort of personal attack
33:17victor wants to throw my way
33:18it's very serious
33:20and it's real
33:21but i can offer you a way out
33:28i think i'm gonna have to resign myself to the fact that
33:32diane will never get past what happened on that yacht
33:36she's definitely put up a lot of walls
33:41but that could be a good thing
33:45how can you even say that
33:48obviously she is still hurting because she is still very much in love with you
33:52and i believe that where there is love there is hope
33:56it is hard to find even a glimmer of hope when the woman i love can barely look at me
34:04i have tried everything nothing works
34:07i know how you feel
34:10seems that
34:11both of our marriages are
34:13reaching the desperate time stage
34:17might be time for the nuclear option
34:22newman ranch
34:23which 2.0
34:25huh
34:27very impressive
34:30i am honored to have been invited
34:33definitely beats transacting our business over burner phones

34:42and you and i
34:46will keep that between the two of us
34:48oh
