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.
00:51It's the same product.
00:52We can tell if the attribute's 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.
01:00Coming 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.
01:13Let's just table this for now.
01:15Wait, 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 unannounced.
01:35Your 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.
02:31What do you mean that Summer's conglomerate will cease to exist and Phyllis will lose everything?
02:37I have it on good authority that there's already a plan in motion to burn it to the ground.
02:45Ah. 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.
03:29And by the way, you don't get to resign. I'm firing you.
03:41Great. That's perfect.
03:52Sitting alone, I see. That's no shock.
03:55I'm waiting for someone.
03:57So 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.
04:11You know how it's going at Summer's conglomerate.
04:13Guess what? Your daddy isn't going to get away with it.
04:17I have no idea what you're talking about.
04:19Oh, you expect me to believe that?
04:20I don't care what you believe.
04:21What did you guys do, Victoria?
04:23Would you pay all the employees off?
04:26Did you threaten them?
04:28Did your daddy do it alone?
04:30Did you help?
04:31Guess what?
04:32It doesn't matter to me.
04:34Siphoning off all of my employees isn't going to change anything.
04:40It's not going to ruin me.
04:42If you think that, think again.
04:44The only one who might want to do some rethinking is you.
04:55I won't keep you long. I just wanted to check in.
04:59Actually, I was just head to the office.
05:02We'll circle back for making a decision on that serum.
05:04Agreed.
05:05And I'll text you to let you know the coast is clear.
05:07Yeah, I would appreciate that. Thanks.
05:10What's that about?
05:11After my encounter with Diane yesterday,
05:13I thought it would be too painful for her to see me two days in a row.
05:17How ironic.
05:18When I stopped by at Chabot, they told me that Diane is working outside of the office as well.
05:23Yeah, I guess I'll have the place all to myself.
05:25That might be a good thing.
05:27That means Diane's still at the hotel,
05:29hopefully receiving my last-ditch efforts to get through to her.
05:51My darling wife,
05:53it seems no matter how hard I try to win you back,
05:56I only succeed in pushing you farther away.
06:02I am doing everything I can to give you space,
06:04to let you process what has happened.
06:06I will stop making excuses.
06:08I 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,
06:19to shut me out,
06:20to shut out the pain.
06:23But I hope there's another part of you,
06:25deep in 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
06:34with the love I feel for you.
06:37The love that will never change.
06:39The love that is forever.
06:55Once owned by Josephine Baker.
07:16I know you've been worried about this.
07:19That if Victor went after Phyllis,
07:20that I would be collateral damage.
07:22I won't let that happen.
07:24I'm not a damsel that needs rescue.
07:26Uh, you'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.
07:37Hmm.
07:38And you advise that I get out now while 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.
07:55Is this you protecting me?
07:58Or are you doing that man's bidding?
08:01I can't believe that you think
08:04I 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
08:23as 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?
08:33Yes.
08:34I'm going to do that.
08:37So do you know Victor's plan?
08:39I do.
08:40So do I.
08:42You do.
08:43I do.
08:43There was a mass exodus at Summer's conglomerate this morning.
08:48It's already happening.
08:50Yes.
08:50People without notice.
08:51Packing up their desks,
08:53their offices,
08:54their cubicles.
08:55And of course,
08:56we instantly 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?
09:08It's so cute.
09:09No.
09:10So weak.
09:10No, I'm just offering some advice.
09:13Well, keep your advice to yourself.
09:14And by the way,
09:15when you see your daddy,
09:16tell him his big move to take me down was a bust.
09:19Is that right?
09:20Yeah.
09:20In fact,
09:21you did Lauren and me a favor.
09:23I mean,
09:23we don't have to pay severance.
09:25It's win-win for us.
09:27You know,
09:27it's hard to run a multinational corporation
09:29with all of those empty officers.
09:32You think replacing all those losers is going to be hard?
09:34It's not going to.
09:35You think you could beat me at my game?
09:38That's never going to happen.
09:42You think you could beat me at my game?
09:46Oh, well, good morning, Diane.
09:50Oh, God.
09:50It's a beautiful day, isn't it?
09:52The air is absolutely inspiring.
09:55Leave me alone.
09:56Mm.
09:57You look a little pegged.
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,
10:06I have every right to be here.
10:08I have been given a clean bill of mental health
10:12from my doctors, as you know,
10:13so I am as sane as anyone in this town.
10:18Although, that's not saying much.
10:20I don't know how you convinced those doctors
10:23that you deserve to be released,
10:24but I know the truth.
10:25And so does everyone else.
10:27And no one wants you here.
10:29Are you sure about that?
10:31Hmm.
10:32Well, it might be hard for you to accept,
10:36but Jack is very happy that I'm back.
10:42Oh, if only you could have seen the smile on his face
10:46before you caught us in bed together.
10:48You're delusional.
10:49Oh, and it's just a matter of time
10:51before I put it there again
10:52and again
10:55and again.
10:56Get out of my way.
10:58I mean, Diane,
10:59it's not like you're by his side.
11:02You're stuck in this hell hole, hmm?
11:06Obviously, you're punishing the poor man,
11:08and I am more than happy to console him.
11:11You are the last thing that Jack needs right now.
11:14Oh.
11:16Back at you, babe.
11:18When are you going to realize
11:19that you don't deserve a man like Jack?
11:22I mean, you might have done a decent job
11:26at reincarnating yourself,
11:27but I know who you are.
11:32You are the woman
11:34who slept with Jack
11:36when I was pregnant with our child.
11:38I lost that baby because of you.
11:40That was because you fell
11:42after I saw the two of you
11:44having sex in his office.
11:48My world imploded
11:50because of you.
11:53Hmm.
11:55But I found the strength
11:57to fight my way to sanity.
12:00Oh, and how many people
12:02have you poisoned, kidnapped,
12:04and shot in the process?
12:06I regret all of it.
12:09I'm here to make things right,
12:10make amends.
12:11Amends?
12:12By being part of Victor's
12:14disgusting kidnapping scheme?
12:16You're as sick as you ever were.
12:18You landed the husband
12:20and the money
12:22and the fairytale life.
12:23You dressed yourself up
12:25in good deeds
12:25and whatever shade
12:27of honesty works for you.
12:29But the cracks,
12:31Diane,
12:32they're starting to show,
12:33weren't they?
12:35And when it collapses,
12:37and it will,
12:40you'll be far more dangerous
12:41than I ever was.
12:57I will see you tonight.
12:59Oh, wait.
12:59You haven't eaten yet.
13:01Mrs. Martinez put together
13:02this multi-course
13:04working breakfast for us.
13:05I'm sorry to miss it,
13:06but I'll grab something
13:07on the way to the office.
13:08I'll see you later.
13:10It's good to see you, Nikki.
13:11You too.
13:16He's very concerned about you.
13:18He is the rock
13:19I never would have
13:20admitted I needed,
13:21but it's taken a toll on him
13:23and I hate that.
13:24I've noticed the same thing
13:25in Victoria.
13:27I guess no matter how old
13:29our children become,
13:31they still want to root
13:32for their parents
13:32to get back together.
13:33Well, I'm sorry to say this,
13:34but I'm not holding out much hope
13:36that Kyle's dreams
13:37will come true.
13:39Don't tell me
13:39you're giving up on Diane.
13:41I don't want to.
13:41It just seems that way.
13:44I'm sorry.
13:45Yeah, so am I.
13:48Crestfallen is a better word.
13:49And look,
13:50as remorseful as I feel,
13:51I'm also angry
13:52that she refuses
13:54to even discuss it.
13:56She doesn't give me
13:56the least benefit
13:57of the doubt.
13:58We're talking about
13:59Patty Williams here.
14:00I mean, there's no way
14:02in any state
14:03I would willingly go there.
14:06Well,
14:08maybe for Diane
14:09it's less about the willing
14:11and more that she
14:13can't accept the fact
14:14that it happened at all.
14:15Yeah, I'm having a bit
14:16of a problem accepting
14:17that fact myself.
14:18I always thought
14:19our love was...
14:21Indestructible.
14:21Diane and I have survived
14:22so much
14:23and always come out
14:24on the other side
14:25stronger.
14:26Well, a lot of that
14:28is due to your ability
14:29to forgive.
14:30I'm sorry that Diane...
14:32No, no, no, don't blame
14:33Diane for this.
14:35There you go again,
14:36finding understanding
14:37for her
14:38when she won't
14:39or won't even try
14:40to find it for you.
14:41Right now, I'm busy
14:43blaming Victor.
14:45Can you believe
14:46he used Patty Williams
14:47as a weapon against me?
14:48Now, he would bring
14:49that woman back to town
14:51after everything
14:52she has done,
14:52all of the heartache
14:54she has caused.
14:56and to put
14:57your marriage
14:58and your life
14:59in jeopardy.
15:00It is absolutely
15:02disgusting.
15:04My children's dream
15:06of seeing their
15:07parents reunited
15:08may be just that.
15:10An impossible dream.
15:12The thing about my father
15:15is that one of his
15:16superpowers is
15:17he can always see
15:18his enemies coming.
15:19Yeah, well,
15:20I saw him coming.
15:21I checkmated.
15:22That's what I did.
15:23You know, I'm not too worried
15:24about any other lame move
15:25that he has against me.
15:26Well, you should enjoy
15:27being in my father's office
15:29because you're not
15:29going to be there for long.
15:30Hmm.
15:31Oh, great.
15:33The day just got great.
15:36Hi.
15:36Hi.
15:37Thanks for joining me.
15:38My pleasure.
15:38Yeah.
15:39For the most part,
15:41you said it was important.
15:42Yes, it's very important.
15:44Actually, um,
15:45do you want to sit at a bar
15:46to look later?
15:47You think that I want
15:48to overhear your conversation?
15:49I can think of nothing
15:50more boring than
15:52you two droning on and on.
15:54Oh, I can guarantee
15:55that you would not find
15:56this conversation boring.
15:57In fact, I think you'd find
15:58it very interesting.
15:59Oh, really?
16:00Really?
16:00Yeah.
16:01Phyllis is upset
16:02because, uh,
16:03apparently dozens
16:04of employees quit
16:05rather than work
16:06for the woman
16:06who stole my family's company.
16:08Okay, that's not the truth.
16:10And you know what's
16:10even sadder than that?
16:11Her own daughter
16:12won't even speak to her
16:13anymore because
16:13of what she's done.
16:15That's right.
16:16And her son feels the same way.
16:17Oh, I'm very well aware
16:18of how damn she feels.
16:19Oh, okay.
16:22What are you talking about?
16:24It's none of your business, Phyllis.
16:27At least not at this stage.
16:28What is that supposed to mean?
16:31I guess you're just gonna
16:32have to wait and find out.
16:35How's Phyllis handling the walkout?
16:37How do you think?
16:39Like a badass.
16:41Completely proactive.
16:43When I left her,
16:43she was texting and emailing
16:45every candidate we could think of
16:46to fill the vacancies.
16:48Not an easy task.
16:49First, I was very concerned
16:51about this walkout,
16:52that it would completely derail
16:53all of our plans
16:54to reinvent this company,
16:56but Phyllis said
16:58this actually gives us
16:59an amazing opportunity
17:00to handpick a loyal,
17:04brilliant staff
17:06with you at the top of the list.
17:09You suggested me.
17:10Well, she did,
17:11but of course I agreed.
17:12There's no sharper mind.
17:15I'm flattered.
17:16So is that a yes?
17:18Because with you as head of legal
17:20and all of the top talent
17:22that we plan to recruit,
17:23we show Victor
17:25that we survived this attack
17:26and we ended up on top.
17:29I'm afraid to tell you
17:30this isn't the master plan.
17:33This is just step one.
17:36There's more?
17:37I'm afraid so.
17:39And it's predatory.
17:49You probably want to get back
17:51to your office,
17:52work on those staffing issues.
17:56You don't think I see
17:57what you're doing,
17:58trying to get the bug
17:59on your side?
18:01She can't hurt me.
18:04My day started off so well,
18:05I definitely didn't expect
18:07a run-in with Phyllis.
18:08Yeah.
18:09I'm sorry about that.
18:10Oh, gosh.
18:11The woman's insufferable.
18:12What she's doing to your family
18:14is appalling.
18:16How are you doing?
18:17Well, we're definitely struggling.
18:20But it's a little overwhelming
18:22if I think about it too much.
18:24Because you know my father
18:25and Newman's don't wallow.
18:26They're proactive.
18:28We keep our eye on the prize.
18:31What is the prize exactly?
18:33I was going to congratulate you,
18:36although it may be
18:37a little too early.
18:39Congratulate?
18:40We've heard that you've been
18:41offered the DA position.
18:43You know about that?
18:44Oh, you know my dad.
18:45He always has his finger
18:47on the pulse of everything
18:48consequential in Genoa City.
18:50Why would what's happening
18:52at the DA's office
18:53be consequential to Victor?
18:56What are you up to?
18:59On easy lines to head
19:00that wears the crown.
19:02What?
19:03You feel on the way
19:04to that shiny new crown yet?
19:07You know, yeah.
19:09I'll always be wearing the crown.
19:11You know why?
19:12Because I'm finally getting
19:13what I worked so hard for,
19:14what I earned.
19:15And it feels amazing.
19:18Then why do you look so unhappy?
19:28Oh, thank you.
19:30Predatory.
19:32That's a very scary word.
19:35What is Victor's strategy?
19:40Well, he's going to give Phyllis
19:43a taste of her own medicine
19:44to quote him.
19:47He's developed this AI program
19:50that will embed documents
19:52at Chancellor
19:53that will provide evidence
19:54that Phyllis,
19:55along with Payne and Billy,
19:58illegally took control
19:59of Newman Enterprises
20:00and its entities.
20:03Fake evidence.
20:04I know.
20:05Well, has he pulled the trigger yet?
20:07I mean, is this a reality?
20:08No, it's already set in motion.
20:10It will use the facts
20:11of what Phyllis actually did
20:14to create receipts,
20:15text, emails, documentation,
20:16all generated
20:17to look like the real deal.
20:19Fraud, conspiracy,
20:21corporate espionage,
20:22you name it.
20:23And the fabricated evidence
20:25will be strong enough
20:27and believable enough
20:28to destroy her.
20:31Unless she gives back
20:32the company, right?
20:35That is correct.
20:37She's so proud
20:39of what she's done.
20:41And she's so excited
20:42about what we are about
20:44to do with this company.
20:45She's never going to go for that.
20:46Well, then she will suffer
20:48the consequences
20:49as will Billy and...
20:52Kane.
20:59I know you said that, um...
21:03I can't tell her,
21:04but I feel like
21:06I need to warm her.
21:08I need to tell her
21:09what Victor's plan is.
21:11Well, I suppose
21:12it doesn't matter
21:13if you do or not
21:14since the game
21:15is already afoot.
21:16And I assume
21:17that you are going to
21:18stay firmly by her side.
21:19Yes.
21:20You're damn right
21:21I'm going to.
21:22I'm going to do
21:22everything I can
21:23to have her back.
21:24All right, fine.
21:25Okay.
21:26And since I've committed
21:27to having your back,
21:30we have no choice
21:31but to deal with this together.
21:33So, does that mean
21:35that you're coming in
21:36as the head of legal?
21:38You're not hearing me.
21:42If Victor has his way,
21:43there will no longer
21:44be a company
21:45to represent.
21:47Which is why
21:48we have to convince
21:48our friend
21:49to get out
21:49from under this
21:50before it all
21:51goes public.
21:54And you're not
21:55hearing me.
21:55There is no way
21:57that Phyllis
21:58is going to cave
21:58to Victor's blackmail.
22:00Oh, okay.
22:01Well,
22:02given the serious
22:03criminal charges
22:04she may be facing,
22:05the years,
22:06decades,
22:07she could be
22:08behind bars,
22:09this is her only chance
22:10to save her reputation
22:11such that it is
22:12to save her life.
22:16I'm telling you,
22:17Mrs. Martinez
22:18outdid herself.
22:19You're sure
22:19you're not hungry?
22:21Her ginger scones
22:22are pretty amazing.
22:24So are the blueberry muffins.
22:26Well, I have to say,
22:27I've never passed on a scone.
22:29Coming right up.
22:32Your favorites,
22:33along with a couple
22:34of extras.
22:38Cozy.
22:40Diane.
22:41Yeah,
22:41although I shouldn't
22:42be surprised
22:42seeing the two
22:44of you together,
22:44it's practically
22:46a theme.
22:47I just came by
22:48to check on...
22:49To check on your
22:50dear,
22:50dear friend.
22:52What would he do
22:53without you?
22:54I should go.
22:55No, no,
22:56Nikki, please,
22:57stay.
22:57I mean,
22:58after all,
22:58Jack did get all
22:59the trouble
22:59to put together
23:00a plate of your
23:01favorites.
23:03Besides,
23:04I'm not staying long.
23:06I, uh,
23:07I ran into Patty
23:08this morning.
23:10I'm sure
23:11that was unpleasant.
23:12It was.
23:14But you know
23:15what's even
23:16more unpleasant?
23:18You thinking
23:19that a piece
23:20of jewelry
23:20will somehow
23:21make this all okay.
23:24As I said
23:25in my letter,
23:26Jack,
23:26I...
23:27I read the letter
23:29and it,
23:30it was nice
23:30and I'm,
23:31I'm sure
23:32it was sincere.
23:33But I,
23:34I can't.
23:36I,
23:36I won't
23:38accept this.
23:52Oh, it's cheesy.
23:54Patty Williams.
23:58What's the matter?
24:00Kitty cat got your tongue?
24:01What are you doing here?
24:03Well,
24:03it has been a long time,
24:04Phyllis.
24:05Not long enough.
24:06Hmm.
24:07You still holding a grudge?
24:09A grudge?
24:10You tried to kill my daughter.
24:11I'll be holding a grudge
24:12for the rest of my life.
24:12Yeah.
24:13You know how sorry I am.
24:15Oh my God.
24:16I heard rumors
24:17that you were out
24:18of the psych hospital.
24:19I didn't believe it.
24:20Who the hell
24:21would do that?
24:22Who the hell
24:22would let you
24:23and your murderous,
24:24toxic mind
24:25back into the world?
24:33Please don't do this.
24:36The ring is not a bribe.
24:37It is a gift.
24:38I want you to have it.
24:39How can I accept it?
24:42Accepting it
24:43is basically saying
24:44that I
24:45forgive you
24:46and I'm just not ready
24:47to do that.
24:47Do you think
24:47the day will ever come
24:48when you will be ready?
24:51Are you enjoying this?
24:53Of course not.
24:55I want nothing more
24:56than for you and Jack.
24:57Oh, admit it.
24:58You've never thought
24:59that I was good enough
25:00for Jack.
25:01And lucky for you,
25:02now that I'm staying
25:02at the athletic club,
25:03you can just waltz in here
25:05anytime you like
25:06and have him all to yourself.
25:08Are you happy now, Nikki?
25:14You were
25:15one of the best DAs
25:16that Genoa City
25:17has ever had.
25:18That's very sweet of you.
25:20Oh, it's true.
25:21I mean,
25:21you were so passionate.
25:23The integrity
25:24that you would bring
25:24to the job
25:25is exactly what
25:26the city needs.
25:27Oh, I did love the work,
25:28seeing justice done
25:29in a world
25:30where it doesn't
25:31happen enough.
25:32I hope you know
25:33that the Newmans,
25:34as a family,
25:35share your commitment
25:36to justice.
25:37Yes,
25:38I am aware
25:39that the Newmans
25:40are committed
25:41to justice,
25:42especially when
25:43it serves them.
25:45Well, there's nothing
25:46wrong with applauding
25:47when the right decision
25:49is made,
25:50and you have proven
25:51very effective
25:52at making those decisions.
25:54Yeah, I still haven't
25:56decided if I'm going
25:57to take this job or not.
25:58Oh, well,
25:59what would ensure
26:00that that happens?
26:02Yeah.
26:03It's a popular place
26:04this morning.
26:06I take it,
26:06you saw Phyllis?
26:08Yeah.
26:08I suppose even
26:10bottom feeders
26:11need to eat.
26:12She didn't seem
26:13too happy.
26:14You're the reason
26:15for that.
26:16I sure as hell
26:17hope so.
26:19I have addressed
26:20the issues,
26:21done the work,
26:22and I have true
26:23remorse for all
26:24the people I hurt,
26:25even you.
26:26You don't have
26:27any remorse.
26:28You haven't made amends.
26:30My daughter could have
26:31died because of you.
26:32But she is alive
26:33given well,
26:33and I have been
26:34given a second chance,
26:35which I plan
26:36to take full advantage
26:37of.
26:37And you, Phyllis,
26:39you have been given
26:41more than a few
26:42second chances
26:43yourself.
26:44I think you would
26:45have some compassion
26:46for what I'm going
26:47through right now.
26:48You are beyond redemption,
26:51beyond therapy,
26:52beyond help of any kind.
26:54That you think
26:54you're owed some peace
26:56shows how delusional
26:57you really are.
26:58My peace is all
27:00I want.
27:01Really?
27:02Is it?
27:03Did you get a little
27:04peace on that
27:06boat with Jack?
27:07Did you?
27:08Oh, Phyllis,
27:09you have no idea.
27:10Yeah, I'm sure.
27:11You know,
27:12you were part of
27:12a kidnapping.
27:13It makes you complicit.
27:15I should call
27:15the authorities
27:16right now.
27:16Yeah, well,
27:17I was invited aboard
27:18as a guest.
27:19Jack should have
27:19thrown you overboard.
27:22How is Summer?
27:23I mean,
27:24such a beautiful girl.
27:24Shut up.
27:25Shut up.
27:25Don't mention
27:26my daughter's name.
27:26Please, shut up.
27:27Practically,
27:28are you still
27:28practically besties?
27:30I mean,
27:30or you being you.
27:32Maybe she
27:34finally saw
27:35what the rest of us
27:36already know.
27:37What the hell
27:38are you talking about?
27:39Well,
27:40I would love to,
27:41uh,
27:42stay and chat
27:43some more,
27:43but I have
27:44some place to be.
27:46Oh!
27:51You should see
27:52a professional
27:52about that anger.
27:55Incredibly unhealthy.
28:06Was it really
28:07just yesterday
28:08that we were
28:08celebrating
28:09with champagne
28:09and roses?
28:11Huh.
28:11The bubbles
28:12and the flowers
28:13weren't even
28:13the best part.
28:14Huh.
28:15Now we have
28:16a war on our hands.
28:18Unless we could
28:19avoid it.
28:20Oh,
28:21I'm so glad
28:22you're both here.
28:23Are you all right?
28:24Have you already heard?
28:25Yeah,
28:26that Patty Williams
28:26is back on the streets?
28:27Yes.
28:29Uh,
28:29should we
28:30call the authorities
28:31and have them
28:31put her back
28:32in the hospital?
28:33I mean,
28:33what should we do?
28:34Well,
28:34as unnerving as it is
28:36to have Patty
28:36back in town,
28:37I spoke with Tracy,
28:38who's been in contact
28:39with Paul,
28:40and, uh,
28:41it's genuine.
28:42She's actually
28:43been deemed
28:43cured.
28:45The hell she is.
28:47Well, no,
28:47for what it's worth,
28:48at least we all
28:49are aware
28:49that she's back.
28:51We'll have our guard up.
28:52No surprises.
28:53Oh,
28:54I mean,
28:54as long as my family
28:55is safe,
28:56I,
28:57I guess,
28:58I guess I'm gonna
28:59have to hope
28:59for the best,
29:00right?
29:00Anyway,
29:01okay,
29:02uh,
29:02did you tell them
29:03about our job offer?
29:04I'm hoping you'll say yes.
29:06The answer is,
29:08uh,
29:10I'd like to start
29:11by giving the principals
29:12of Summer's conglomerate
29:13some extremely sound
29:16legal advice.
29:19I really should be going.
29:20You know,
29:21that's not a bad idea.
29:22Instead of focusing
29:23so much energy
29:24on my marriage,
29:25you might want to
29:26pay attention
29:26to what's left of yours.
29:28Although,
29:29how you could forgive
29:30that man for what
29:31he did to your bestie here
29:32is just beyond me.
29:34I have not forgiven Victor.
29:36He's gone too far.
29:37Oh, come on.
29:38How many times
29:39have we heard that
29:40over the years?
29:41But you always go back.
29:42a new car,
29:44a new shiny bauble.
29:46Hey, who knows?
29:46There might be a gift bag
29:47waiting for you.
29:48There's no reason
29:48to drag Nikki into our...
29:50Oh, of course, Jack.
29:50Of course.
29:51You're jumping to hard effects.
29:51I don't mean to make you angry.
29:53Oh.
29:54Though it seems
29:54that's all I can do lately.
29:56I just...
30:00I love you.
30:03No strings,
30:04no tricks,
30:05no bribes.
30:06I just want
30:08for you to someday soon
30:09be able to look at me
30:11and once again
30:12see the man
30:12who promised
30:13to be your home.
30:16Flawed, yes.
30:17Imperfect, yes.
30:19But ready to open
30:20my arms to you
30:21anytime you are ready.
30:25Enjoy your scouts.
30:34So, you still think
30:36I'm too quick
30:36to believe
30:37that my marriage
30:38is over?
30:43Thank you for coming by.
30:45I wanted to commend you
30:47on a job
30:48extremely well done.
30:51I wasn't sure
30:52whether to reach out to you,
30:54but the results
30:55speak for themselves.
30:57Well, it's definitely
30:58the best decision
30:59I've ever made.
31:08How's Harrison?
31:09He's great.
31:11Especially given
31:11everything that's happened
31:12after what your father pulled.
31:14Well, I'm...
31:15I'm glad to hear
31:16he's doing well.
31:17You know, I'd appreciate
31:18it if you didn't ask
31:19about my family
31:20like you cared.
31:21We've had this conversation
31:22more than once.
31:23You know where I stand.
31:25What I feel
31:26the right thing
31:26for you
31:27and your entire family
31:28to do
31:28is to rein in your father.
31:30I...
31:31I'm sorry.
31:32Yeah, well,
31:33that means
31:34about the same
31:35as Phyllis saying
31:36those words to you.
31:37Nothing.
31:38No.
31:39Excuse me.
31:43What was that all about?
31:45What did Victor do?
31:46My father lost everything
31:47to Phyllis,
31:48so obviously
31:50he's desperate
31:51to make it right.
31:52Yeah, but
31:53Victor's version
31:54of justice
31:55can be a little out there.
31:56He was the victim.
31:58You can't say
31:59the same thing
32:00about Phyllis.
32:01What she did
32:02was diabolical.
32:04That's one of the reasons
32:05I asked you to meet,
32:06actually.
32:07Or maybe
32:08the only reason.
32:10What would you say
32:11if I told you
32:12I was privy
32:13to some information
32:14that you might find
32:16very interesting
32:17if you step back
32:18in as a DA?
32:20What kind
32:21of information?
32:22The kind
32:23that would take
32:24Phyllis down
32:25for good.
32:28I love to hear
32:29sound legal advice,
32:31especially from our
32:32head of legal
32:33at Summer's
32:33conglomerate.
32:35I'll get straight
32:36to the point.
32:37Life is about to get
32:39very, very bad for you.
32:40Okay.
32:41Wow.
32:42My goodness.
32:43Well, that's a bad attitude,
32:44especially from our
32:46head of legal.
32:47Does this have to do
32:47with Victor's loyalist
32:49quitting?
32:50It's more than that.
32:51Your business
32:52isn't the only thing
32:53in jeopardy.
32:54It's personal.
32:55It's as nasty
32:56as it gets.
32:58Victor is about
32:59to put you
33:00in serious
33:00legal jeopardy.
33:02Oh, is he?
33:04Okay.
33:04Well, I don't
33:05have any friends,
33:07present company
33:08excluded, of course.
33:09My kids don't even
33:10want to live
33:11on the same planet
33:12as I do,
33:12so if I can
33:14handle that,
33:14I can handle
33:15any sort of
33:15personal attack
33:17Victor wants
33:17to throw my way.
33:18It's very serious.
33:21and it's real.
33:22But I can offer
33:23you a way out.
33:28I think I'm
33:29going to have
33:29to resign myself
33:30to the fact
33:31that Diane
33:33will never get past
33:34what happened
33:34on that yacht.
33:36She's definitely
33:37put up a lot
33:38of walls.
33:41But that could
33:42be a good thing.
33:45How can you
33:45even say that?
33:47Obviously,
33:48she is still hurting
33:49because she's
33:50still very much
33:51in love with you.
33:52And I believe
33:53that where there
33:54is love,
33:55there is hope.
33:57It is hard
33:58to find even
33:59a glimmer
34:00of hope
34:00when the woman
34:01I love
34:02can barely
34:03look at me.
34:04I have tried
34:05everything.
34:06Nothing works.
34:07I know how
34:08you feel.
34:10Seems that
34:11both of our
34:12marriages are
34:13reaching the
34:14desperate time
34:15stage.
34:17might be
34:18time for
34:18the nuclear
34:19option.
34:22Newman Ranch
34:232.0.
34:25Huh.
34:27Very impressive.
34:30I am honored
34:32to have been
34:32invited.
34:34Definitely beats
34:35transacting our
34:36business over
34:36burner phones.
34:39Now, Patty,
34:40there's a matter
34:41of payment
34:43and you
34:43and I
34:46will keep
34:46that between
34:47the two of us.
34:48Oh, just like
34:49old times.
34:51I will be paid
34:52as discussed,
34:53right?
34:56Why don't you
34:57see for yourself?
35:03Oh, I have
35:06never seen
35:06anything so
35:07beautiful.
35:09It's for a job
