00:12Hi, Devon.
00:14Hello, Ken.
00:16Busy day?
00:18Yeah, a little bit.
00:20Found out some really interesting news.
00:23You ever got a chance to business?
00:26So, Lily brought you up to speed then?
00:28Yeah. She sure did. You must feel really good about yourself.
00:31You saved Malcolm's life. You're running a company again.
00:35And now you're back into Lily's good graces.
00:40Yeah, I know. He showed me the text.
00:44Well, I was with him when he got it.
00:47Yeah, and he was just so happy.
00:51I'm really, really happy that you and Charlie did that.
00:54It meant a lot to him.
00:58No, I know. I know that what he did for Malcolm doesn't solve everything.
01:02But, I mean, it's something, right?
01:07I mean, he's still your dad, and he's a good person.
01:12Yeah.
01:14Okay.
01:15Yeah, yeah, of course.
01:16Okay, well, I'll talk to you later.
01:18I love you.
01:19All right, bye.
01:23Vicki.
01:26Hello, Lily.
01:28I understand congratulations are in order.
01:32Victor handed Chancellor off to you?
01:35He did, yeah.
01:37I asked you weeks ago what you got in exchange for going along with his fake kidnapping plot.
01:44And you told me the only thing you got out of it was the satisfaction of teaching Cain a lesson.
01:52Yeah, I might owe you an explanation.
01:55Oh, I think the explanation is clear.
01:58You lied to me, Lily.
02:00You had promised Chancellor all along.
02:45Laurence?
02:51Laurence!
03:06Hi.
03:07Hi.
03:08I have an update.
03:10What?
03:10The wedding venue.
03:13The wedding venue that we were looking at.
03:14Which one?
03:15The gorgeous reserve.
03:17View the bluffs and the river and the little pond with the...
03:19Yes.
03:20Love it.
03:20Beautiful.
03:21It was just sold to a mega developer.
03:24Mega developer?
03:25That sounds very lame.
03:26Yeah.
03:27They're turning the property into some luxury gated community.
03:32I don't know.
03:32And the new owner tried to convince me to buy one of their spec mansions.
03:36For the wedding or to live in?
03:39Unclear.
03:41Okay.
03:42We're not doing that, are we?
03:44No.
03:45Not yet.
03:46Okay.
03:46It's good.
03:47Well, I'm sorry to hear about that.
03:49I know you love that location.
03:50I did.
03:52Yeah.
03:53But, you know, I think in the long run it was a blessing in disguise.
03:58It's about me thinking that the house you grew up in is a mansion with wonderful memories
04:03and just recently exquisitely redecorated.
04:07We could get married there, you know, with friends and family.
04:10Johnny and Katie can come down the stairs all dressed up and, I mean, they want to participate,
04:15of course.
04:15Or we could get married on the property like Jack and Diane did.
04:20You don't like that idea?
04:21I think it's a lovely idea, except that's not going to happen anytime soon, unfortunately.
04:27Because the only habit that's welcome in that house right now is Jack.
04:32Thank you both for going along with this.
04:34I know it's a lot to ask.
04:37Anything for you, Jack?
04:39I am for Mom.
04:41It is the right decision.
04:43I'm positive.
04:46Hello!
04:49Oh, wow.
04:51I thought about knocking and then I realized, why would I knock when I enter into my own home?
04:57Oh, my God, Kyle.
04:58Be a doll and take this.
05:01Oh!
05:03Well, it's really sweet of you two to stick around and welcome me.
05:09I mean, you did tell them, didn't you?
05:11I'm sure they understand.
05:12And the love that Jack and I share is just overwhelming.
05:18And that it's just simply not enough room for anyone else in this beautiful house.
05:32Would you like to join me so that we can talk?
05:42So, it is true.
05:45I did make a deal with Victor for Chancellor.
05:48But when you asked me about it, the deal was up in the air.
05:52And why was that?
05:54Because Victor wanted to hold on to Chancellor to use it as leverage to get Newman back.
05:59And you wanted to see how that played out, make sure it went in your favor?
06:03Well, I mean, it is Victor we're talking about, right?
06:06I didn't really have a choice.
06:08I see.
06:10And honestly, I wasn't even sure the deal was going to happen.
06:13And when you asked me about it, I realized that Victor hadn't said anything to you.
06:16And I wasn't going to get in the middle.
06:18I mean, the three of us have had enough tension as it is when it comes to Chancellor.
06:23I am not sure that's about to change.
06:27Okay.
06:27Well, I'm not going to apologize for getting Chancellor back.
06:31I'm sorry for what Victor did to you, but that's not on me.
06:35No, you are right.
06:36That is ultimately Victor's responsibility.
06:38I know that.
06:40But I shouldn't have been surprised that he didn't share his plan to give it back to you.
06:47Well, I can see why you might feel betrayed by me.
06:51Well, I do feel betrayed, but not because of your negotiation to get the company back.
06:58I mean, that's what you wanted.
07:01You knew how to get it back.
07:03Good for you.
07:05Okay, so what's your issue with me?
07:09I've heard a rumor that you're planning on having Cain run Chancellor.
07:15If that's true, it's a disgrace.
07:19Yeah, I understand.
07:20You don't trust my intentions.
07:21You've made that very clear.
07:26You know, Cain, honestly, I didn't think that you would even stick around long enough for me to have to
07:30keep going for you.
07:31Well, I'm here.
07:33I'm not going to apologize for helping Malcolm.
07:36Nobody's asking you to, but you didn't realize that doing one good thing for someone doesn't erase all the bad
07:42things you've done, right?
07:43Yeah, I never said that it did.
07:45Would you expect me to be grateful to you?
07:47You know, I wouldn't say no to a thank you or maybe some common decency.
07:52What do you mean a thank you from me for?
07:53You've already been rewarded.
07:55Lily thinks you're a hero, and she sets you up with a really nice, cushy job.
07:59Don't do that.
07:59Don't undermine your sister's actions.
08:01I can think and say whatever I want to say, because Lily forgiving you and falling for you again makes
08:09no sense whatsoever.
08:10Your whole life has been a lie since you came to town pretending to be somebody else, and then you
08:15were Dumas, and then you came to this city and tried to take over everybody's companies, and you got two
08:20people killed, too.
08:21Remember that?
08:22And I live with what happened in these every day.
08:24I've been dodged, and I've taken full responsibility for everything that I've done.
08:27That's great. You're supposed to take it. It's yours to take, dumbass.
08:31Yeah.
08:31You don't get rewarded for owning up to things you actually need.
08:33And I've made amends to everybody that was affected.
08:35I would say sorry to you again if I thought that it would make a bit of difference.
08:38You're right, it won't, because I know you say whatever you need to say to get what you want in
08:42life, Kenny.
08:43So what? So then I don't deserve forgiveness from you or anyone else ever?
08:48I'm just supposed to suffer the consequences of my actions for the rest of my life?
08:53I mean, you said it, not me.
08:55When debating this with you, it doesn't make a bit of difference, because I know that you're not going to
09:00listen to anything that comes out of my mouth.
09:02I know that the only way I can redeem myself with you is through actions.
09:08So I will prove myself.
09:10You will see that I'm a better person.
09:14You will.
09:17Well, I can assure you, I am not thrilled being thrown out of my family home.
09:23Especially for you.
09:25And I find it just disgusting the way you have leeched onto Jack like this.
09:30It makes me sick.
09:31And neither one of us want to stick around here and watch you fawn all over my father and our
09:36home.
09:36The good news is it won't be for long, because Jack is going to come to his senses.
09:42And then we will be back and you will be out.
09:46Well, Jack appreciates me enough to show you both the door.
09:51He understands that this private time together is for us to reconnect and rediscover our love.
10:00Yes, please don't make this any harder than it needs to be.
10:03Yeah, but the fact that you can stand being in the same room as this woman, let alone allow her
10:07into our family home after the pain she has caused, Mom, I'll never forgive you for this.
10:15Kyle, your father has made a commitment into giving our future a chance with gusto and passion.
10:23Isn't that right, Jack?
10:30There's got to be something.
10:33Something to help me get out of here.
10:37Oh, come on.
11:02Okay, okay, okay.
11:04Oh, the password.
11:05Password.
11:06Password.
11:06What is it?
11:22Everything okay?
11:30Your arrogance just knows no bounds, huh?
11:33I know how much you hate me, and I know how deep you're in your runs.
11:37But do you understand where it comes from, Kane?
11:40And honestly, you know how many times I watched you hurt Lily or disappoint her and your kids over the
11:46years?
11:46That's the Kane that I know.
11:48That's who you are to me.
11:49I'm not that guy anymore.
11:50What happened to him?
11:51I worked on myself.
11:53Oh.
11:53Yeah, I worked on myself.
11:54And Lily sees Chancellor as an opportunity for me to turn my life around.
11:57And I know it's going to take time, but I plan on proving myself to you, to Nate, and to
12:02Lily.
12:02Why do you need to prove anything to me, Kane?
12:05You're already running my grandmother's company, and you put another spell on my sister.
12:08So what else do you need?
12:10I know what you're trying to do.
12:11What am I doing?
12:11You're trying to provoke me.
12:14And it's working.
12:15I want to punch you right in your mouth.
12:16Oh, please.
12:17I would love for you to do that.
12:18Yeah?
12:19Why?
12:19So you could run to Lily and tell her what a terrible monster I am?
12:23Not going to happen, Vaughn.
12:26I'm not that man.
12:29Well, I think that Kane is a good choice.
12:32Catherine entrusted him with Chancellor more than once.
12:36Well, that was before Kane pretended to be Aristotle to Ma.
12:40Yeah, but it was after he pretended to be Philip.
12:44She knew who Kane was.
12:46She knew his strengths and his flaws.
12:48The Kane that we know today is not the same man that Catherine knew.
12:53Well, you know, he is really trying to be the best version of himself.
12:59I mean, you've really turned around where he is concerned.
13:03It wasn't that long ago that you were willing to let him believe that you and the children were kidnapped.
13:11Yeah, well, I'm not proud of that decision, but unfortunately, I can't take it back.
13:16And it got you, Chancellor.
13:19Well, you know, here we are, right?
13:22And Kane is doing everything he can to be better, and I think that he deserves another chance, don't you?
13:29By giving him the keys to the company.
13:32I mean, I think we all have needed second chances.
13:34You still love Victor after everything that he's done.
13:40Some things are unforgivable.
13:45Well, I don't know what's going on with you two, but...
13:47It's bad, isn't it?
13:50He gave my company to you without bothering to tell me, and I am sorry for that.
13:59But the company is mine now, and it's my decision to hire whoever I want.
14:05And Kane cared about Catherine.
14:07He cares about her legacy.
14:09And I'm going to be there overseeing to make sure that he does everything correctly.
14:13The way you defend him...
14:16Have you?
14:17Falling back in love with Kane?
14:21Or did you never stop loving him?
14:27Oh, you, um, you just, you startled me.
14:30I'm just a little jumpy.
14:31I haven't been outside for a while.
14:33You changed.
14:34I did.
14:35Those clothes suit you.
14:36Oh, well, thank you.
14:37I feel better after my shower.
14:39But, um, do you think that maybe you could open a window, or I could go for a walk?
14:44I could really use a little fresh air.
14:46A considerate, totally.
14:49You, your mood seems to have improved.
14:53Yes, I, I feel like I owe you an apology.
14:57I know that I've been a bit stubborn and difficult.
15:01But this whole situation has been a little upsetting to me.
15:05It's understandable.
15:05Yeah, but I realize now, I see that what you've been saying makes sense.
15:10That to, um, to get answers, to understand what's going on with me, I need to accept the situation, let
15:20the process unfold, and see where it leads.
15:23That's very insightful, Diane.
15:24I'm happy to see you're finally seeing reason.
15:29There's just one thing that concerns me.
15:34Patty has moved into the Abbott house.
15:37She kicked everybody else out.
15:38She's taken over.
15:42There are so many words.
15:43Oh, believe me.
15:45I mean, I don't know why I'm surprised.
15:47After what happened on the yacht, I mean, of course she would take the situation, Diane, and use it to
15:53her.
15:53And it's brazen, even for her.
15:56Yeah, I mean, it's devious and clever, not telling anyone where Diane is or what happened to her without getting
16:03what she wants.
16:04Which is Jack.
16:07Do you think Jack can handle it?
16:10I don't like it at all.
16:12I mean, I hate the fact that he's going to be alone with her.
16:14Nothing, nothing good will come from that.
16:18Yeah, but this time he's got a plan, and he's letting his family in on it.
16:22But it's incredibly risky.
16:25Jack thinks he's in control.
16:27But if you're asking me, Patty's the one holding the cards.
16:31I do not see how he's going to be able to trick her in order to get the upper hand.
16:35It's going to take a lot of commencing.
16:38Is he really going to have her think that he's actually falling for her?
16:43I have shared my concerns with Patty, made very clear my reservations about our future, and I have made a
16:50decision.
16:51I'm going to give her this chance.
16:53We can see that you have made up your mind.
16:55And we have tried everything to convince you otherwise.
16:59So, now we wait.
17:01The sham of a relationship to implode.
17:04Enough of the chit-chat.
17:06You know what?
17:07I'll show you two out.
17:12Oh, Jack.
17:13Sure they can manage.
17:18Oh, sweetheart.
17:19Would you take this upstairs for me?
17:23Well, good luck, you two.
17:27Goodbye, Jack.
17:35Good luck to you.
17:42Now that that's settled.
17:45Oh, Jack.
17:47It is so good to get home with.
17:53Oh.
18:03My choice to put Cain in charge has nothing to do with my feelings for him.
18:08You just said he deserves a chance to prove himself.
18:12Yeah, he does.
18:13He has built an empire.
18:15He's had a company flourish.
18:16I think that he's the best person for the job.
18:20I just...
18:21I disagree.
18:24Are you okay?
18:26Yeah.
18:27Yeah.
18:28It's just a headache.
18:32Um, do you need anything?
18:34You know, I don't think we're ever going to see eye to eye on this.
18:38Because you've obviously already made up your mind about Cain.
18:42Yeah, well, I have.
18:44And I really hope that I can prove your doubts wrong.
18:47Hmm.
18:47Tracy?
18:50Hey, what's...
18:51What's going on?
18:53Oh.
18:54Uh, hello, friends.
18:57It's just a really long story.
19:01What's going on?
19:03What's with the suitcase?
19:05Okay.
19:08Patty Williams has now completely infiltrated Jack's life.
19:14Diane has gone missing.
19:16And Patty claims to know where she is.
19:19What?
19:19Oh, my God.
19:20That's terrible.
19:21It is.
19:21And Jack is convinced that the only way to find out where Diane is and get home safely
19:27is to comply with Patty's demands.
19:31What kind of demands?
19:33She wants to move into the Abbott house.
19:35And she wants to live there with Jack alone.
19:39And he agreed?
19:40Wait, I'm sorry.
19:41He's going to go along with this?
19:43He is completely convinced this is the only way to get her home safely.
19:48And I don't understand it.
19:51And I don't think it's a great idea to leave him alone with Patty.
19:54Well, no.
19:56She can't be trusted.
19:57She is dangerous.
19:58And now your life is completely upended because of her.
20:02Mine.
20:02And Kyle's.
20:04And Harrison's.
20:05But honestly, if this is the only way to get Diane home safely and end this ordeal,
20:11then it will have been worth it.
20:12How can Jack let her get away with this?
20:15Is she at the house now?
20:17Moving in as we speak.
20:19Come on over here.
20:20Wait, wait, wait, please.
20:21You've got to be careful.
20:22Promise me.
20:23And you can't let on that you know that Jack is only doing this to save Diane.
20:28Don't worry.
20:28Don't worry.
20:31Mom.
20:36Jack.
20:39Mom.
20:39Please join me.
20:54We can do whatever we want.
20:57Mom.
20:57Could we just slow down?
21:01Oh.
21:03Okay.
21:03I mean, you're not in the mood.
21:04I mean, that's okay.
21:06It will happen soon, I'm sure.
21:09Why don't you tell me what's wrong?
21:10I just wish you'd been more tactful.
21:14I mean, Kyle's mother is missing.
21:16I just asked the rest of my family to move out of the family house.
21:20I mean, that wasn't easy for me to do.
21:23I know.
21:24I know.
21:25And you just need to let them all go.
21:29Forget about them.
21:31For so long, Jack, you have been consumed with being the ideal man, the patriarch of the Abbott family, the
21:40pillar of strength and morality, but you don't have to do that with me.
21:45I mean, there are no rules.
21:48No expectations.
21:49We can be whoever you want to be.
21:53We can chart a new course.
21:56Huh?
21:58Come on.
22:00Be naughty with me.
22:03I have kept my part of this bargain.
22:07Made all of these arrangements for you.
22:09Now, I'd like to talk to Diane's doctor.
22:12Nothing's going to happen until that happens.
22:14Well, I've reached out.
22:17I talked to my psychiatrist, and he is going to call me back with contact information.
22:24Because he's in touch with Diane's doctor.
22:29For now, all you need to know about Diane is that she is safe.
22:38She's going to be just fine.
22:42Something happened to me.
22:45I see that now.
22:47I'm ready to see that.
22:49I don't really remember exactly what it was, but there is a reason that I need help.
22:57It's quite a breakthrough, Diane.
23:00And it happened here, under your guidance, which lets me know that I'm beginning to trust you.
23:06I'm happy to hear that.
23:08It's good that you're comfortable with me.
23:11Just, I'm a little worried.
23:14About what?
23:14Well, if we change course, if I go to a different hospital with different doctors,
23:19it could just derail all the progress that I've made.
23:22And I think that would be a mistake.
23:24Well, the clinic that we're sending you to has extensive resources.
23:28You'd be very well taken care of.
23:31I just, I just don't think that would be the best treatment option for me.
23:36What do you think would be the best treatment option?
23:41I'd like to stay here with you in your home.
23:46No other clinic, no other doctors, just you and me.
23:55I think we're done, right, Kane?
23:56Yeah, I meant what I said, Devon.
23:57I'm going to prove myself to you and your entire family that I've changed for better.
24:01Kane, listen to me.
24:03Lily lied to her family and pretended to be kidnapped just to get back at you.
24:07All right?
24:08That's the influence that you have over her, and that's never going to change.
24:12Do you understand that?
24:13Well, I believe Kane, and so do the kids.
24:17So if anyone in the family has a problem with that, that's their issue.
24:21Okay.
24:22That's great.
24:23I still stand by what I told you before.
24:25I'm sure Catherine loved Kane at one point, but I guarantee you she would not trust the man who's standing
24:31in front of us right now.
24:32Okay.
24:32Well, that's your opinion, but I disagree.
24:34Okay.
24:35Well, hey, he's a con, just like his dad, and I wish you wouldn't fall for it, because we're all
24:40going to live to regret it.
24:47I'm sorry.
24:49Don't be.
24:50Don't be.
24:51It's not your fault.
24:52He will come around eventually.
24:54Oh, yeah?
24:54You think so?
24:56I know it's hard for him, but it doesn't mean that he can be a jerk to you.
24:59It's fine.
25:00He's just being a protective brother.
25:02He has every reason to hate my guts.
25:04I have my work cut out from you.
25:05I know that.
25:06Well, I'm sure you're up for the challenge, because you are very persistent.
25:11Um, so, are you ready?
25:14Ready for what?
25:15You never even told me what we were doing.
25:16You just told me to show up here.
25:18We're going to go somewhere.
25:19Follow me.
25:27Jack, you missed a bag.
25:36Uh, this is not a good time.
25:40Well, you're going to have to make some time, because I just saw Tracy, and she said that Patty is
25:44living in this house.
25:46What the hell are you thinking?
25:53It's my understanding that all of this is just in fact.
25:56He's not going to actually reciprocate Patty's feelings.
26:00At least not first.
26:01Well, no.
26:02I mean, she'd see right through that.
26:03Yeah, which could be a good strategy for her.
26:07Being more time with Jack means more time to try and win a moment.
26:11Well, let's not think too much about the details.
26:13I want to think about the details.
26:15I mean, she has to be delusional if she thinks she can actually pull this off.
26:19I've done it before.
26:20I missed it in her mind.
26:21Yeah, but that was a long time ago.
26:24That's what I'm worried about.
26:25I mean, at a certain point, Jack is going to have to allow her to believe that that it's working.
26:30That he's actually falling in love with her, and that's scary.
26:33But, you know, as far as Jack's concerned, that's the only way he's going to get the information about Diane.
26:38I mean, it's quite a risk.
26:40That's a lot of pretending.
26:42I mean, how do you out-crazy the crazy?
26:45Well, you know Jack, when he gets determined, and he feels he's got the strength to pull this off.
26:50But it's not his strength that I'm worried about.
26:53He's going to be in a home with a woman who, by all accounts at best, is mentally unstable.
26:59And at worst, is a complete psychopath.
27:00I don't hear you.
27:02And trust me, I wish that I could talk him out of this, but it's Diane.
27:05He loves her.
27:06He's going to do whatever he can to get his wife home safe and sound.
27:11What if Jack's plan fails?
27:12I haven't even gone there yet, but you're right.
27:14It's anyone's guess who comes out on top here.
27:18What you're suggesting is a bit unorthodox.
27:24This is my private home.
27:26Right, but I've already been here a while.
27:28I'm not disturbing you.
27:30No, no.
27:31No.
27:32Okay, to be honest, I've always had a thing about hospitals.
27:38You know, ever since I was a little girl, I never felt comfortable in doctor's offices or anything clinical.
27:44I would just get really anxious, and I would even have panic attacks.
27:49I shouldn't have said clinic.
27:51The place we're taking you to is like a hotel.
27:53It's warm.
27:54It's not sterile.
27:56Yeah, but it's still a medical facility, and I don't think I could handle that.
28:02Sometimes we have to test ourselves.
28:06I know that the best thing for me would be to stay here.
28:11Please let me stay.
28:13Okay, isn't that the point of all this?
28:15For me to improve?
28:19I need you to trust me.
28:21Where is she?
28:22I will throw her out if you won't.
28:23Please, Nikki.
28:24For my sake, keep your distance.
28:26I know what I'm doing.
28:27But why?
28:28Why are you doing it?
28:29I don't un...
28:30Hey, what is it?
28:34What's wrong?
28:34Are you okay?
28:35It's nothing.
28:36It's nothing.
28:37Oh!
28:38Nikki!
28:39What a surprise!
28:40Guys, welcome to our home.
28:47Well, what did you think?
28:52Uh...
28:52Yeah.
28:53I mean, it was amazing.
28:55I definitely did not expect that.
28:57Yeah, I thought you should see a new office.
29:01What about you?
29:01How do you feel about it?
29:04I mean, when Nikki took it from me, I didn't think I was going to get it back.
29:09But you did.
29:10Yeah.
29:10It came at a cost.
29:11But, yeah, it felt good to be back.
29:14Are you sure that you wouldn't rather be the CEO yourself?
29:18Is this DeVon getting in your head?
29:20You deserve to run it a lot more than me.
29:22I'll be fine.
29:23I've made my way on my own before.
29:24I'll do it again.
29:25Are you having second thoughts?
29:28I just want to make sure that this is really, really what you want.
29:32Of course it's what I want.
29:33I wouldn't have offered it if it weren't.
29:36I think it's a good opportunity for us to be a team again.
29:41Oh, actually, I have something for you.
29:45It is the keys to your new office.
29:58Well, I guess that makes it official.
30:02We really are a team now.
30:05I guess we are.
30:11It's kind of funny, isn't it, that the Chancellor would be the thing to bring us closer together?
30:18Because I lied to you in order to get it back?
30:20No, I wasn't thinking that at all.
30:24Because Catherine, because she was always rooting for us.
30:30Yeah, she was.
30:31I mean, she threw that reading at our first wedding, and then she threw our second wedding in France.
30:36She was our champion.
30:39She must have had a hand in all of this.
30:41Yeah.
30:42It would be like her to step in.
30:44Oh, yeah, especially since things got so off-kilter.
30:46She's watching.
30:48Oh, yeah, getting more and more furious.
30:50Yeah, she would be like, what the hell is going on with all this AI stuff?
30:54What is this idiot doing?
30:56I feel like she was really good at setting people straight.
30:59Yeah.
31:01Look at us, Catherine.
31:02We did it.
31:03We did it.
31:04We promised not to let you down.
31:07Okay, well, I will let you get to work on that one.
31:10Oh, where are you going?
31:11I'm going to go back to work.
31:14You can't do that.
31:15We need to work on some chancellor stuff.
31:20Really?
31:21Right now?
31:21Yeah, no time like the president.
31:23We're going to have to spend a lot of time together.
31:26We're going to have to make sure that we're on the same page.
31:28You know, we're perfectly aligned.
31:30Oh, uh-huh.
31:31Yeah, so I'm going to give us some drinks and some pastries because we are going to be here all
31:36night.
31:37We're probably going to shut this thing down.
31:39Oh.
31:44Staying here with you is my best chance at getting better.
31:49If everything you said is true, well, then you've saved me.
31:53And you brought me here so you could help me.
31:56And I am so grateful to you, Lawrence.
31:59And I'm happy to see that you're having this breakthrough.
32:03So let's build on our progress.
32:05There's a lot of work to be done.
32:07Yes, there is.
32:08But I have taken the first step.
32:09You said so.
32:11Because of your care.
32:12If we shift the dynamic that we've established at this point, it would undo all the work you've put in.
32:20Please tell me you agree.
32:24I know how hard it is for you to sit back and watch Jack take this risk.
32:29The last thing I want is Patty to ruin my brother's life.
32:33But Jack does want to handle this on his own.
32:36He's kicked us all out of the house.
32:38He's sidelined everyone in order to try and win Patty's trust.
32:43Are you thinking of questioning his strategy?
32:48I get why he's doing it.
32:50Patty wants him for herself.
32:55I know how much you want to protect your brother.
32:58And I really admire that.
33:00But you have a family of your own to protect.
33:02I mean, things are gearing up and they're getting really serious.
33:05And I need you.
33:09I promise you that nothing is going to distract me from what we are building right now, okay?
33:16You, me, and our baby.
33:23This is not your home.
33:25Jack is a married man.
33:27He is committed to another woman.
33:29Well, not anymore.
33:32Oh, my God, you are insane.
33:34It was a mistake to let you out of that loony bin they should have held on to you for
33:39the rest of your pitiful life.
33:40Why do you care if Jack and I are together?
33:43Since when are you a fan of Diane Jenkins?
33:47How could you let this happen?
33:49Nikki, there's no need for you to advocate for Jack's failed marriage.
33:55Don't you have enough problems with yours?
33:58Don't you talk to me about my marriage.
34:01I suggest that you pick up the pieces of your own life someplace else.
34:07Leave us in peace.
34:08If you think whatever plan you have concocted will work this time, you're crazier than we ever thought.
34:17I hope you know what you're doing, Jack.
34:27She's gone.
34:31Alone at last.
34:33Alone at last.
35:03the flavor lattes and the biggest
35:05food that they have.
35:06Did you actually ask for that?
35:09Oh, I have no shame.
35:11You really want me to stick around here, don't you?
35:13Yes, I'm enthused. I'm ready to hit the ground
35:15running. Yeah, I'm excited
35:17to map out some ideas for the company.
35:20It means a lot
35:21to me that you trust me.
35:23Well, it means a lot that you said yes.
35:25I think that we can
35:27do some pretty great things together.
35:30Yeah, I think
35:31we can too.
35:34Come a little closer.
35:36Why?
35:38I want to tell you something.
35:41I think this is right.
35:44I think we're right.
35:51You make a compelling argument.
35:54It's more than that to me.
35:56It's a plea.
35:57Please, Lawrence. I...
35:59I need this.
36:02I promise
36:04I will think about it.
36:09I am convinced
36:10that this is my best chance
36:12to get back to being the person
36:13that I want to be.
36:16I promise you.
36:17Okay?
36:18My focus is solely on you.
36:20Our wedding
36:21and baby Spectra Abbott.
36:25And you show up.
36:27I know that.
36:29And so does Jack.
36:31Yeah, I don't know.
36:33I don't know.
36:34In the past,
36:35you know,
36:35it would be hard for me
36:36to say no to my brother,
36:37but I know better now.
36:38I don't stick my nose
36:39where it's not wanted.
36:40You really don't feel good
36:41about leaving Jack alone, do you?
36:44It's not what I would do.
36:47I would go directly
36:48at Patty and confront her.
36:50Yeah, but then she could stall.
36:52Our worst run
36:53and then you could have
36:53no leads at all.
36:55Yeah.
36:56I don't know.
36:57It's not a good situation,
36:58but I know it's not my situation,
37:00so all I can do right now
37:01is sit back and wait.
37:03And I hope that Jack can outsmart her.
37:07Well, I hope there's
37:08no more interruptions.
37:11I took one of the guest rooms upstairs.
37:16I realize my being here
37:19is going to take some time
37:20for you to get used to.
37:22It may take a while.
37:25I can see in your eyes
37:28that you believe
37:29you can save your marriage, Jack.
37:31You're in denial.
37:32I wouldn't call it denial.
37:35Well, people accuse me of
37:39losing touch with reality,
37:40but I know more than you think.
37:44And Jack, it is just a matter of time
37:45before you give yourself over
37:47to commit to me.
37:50And maybe you're struggling
37:52with letting Diane go,
37:53or maybe you just feel guilty
37:55because you're ready to move on.
37:58No, no, no.
37:59I am not ready.
38:02I can't just make those feelings go away.
38:06Oh, look at you.
38:08Fighting it.
38:10Fighting us.
38:11You don't have to pretend.
38:14I mean, there's no one here to judge you.
38:17The rest of the world is outside.
38:19It is just you and me.
38:24My door will be unlocked tonight.
38:28And you can come to me
38:31whenever you're ready.
38:34That may not happen soon.
38:38I think it will happen sooner than you think.
38:41I think.
