>> Rey: Hey.
>> Michael: Hey.
Welcome back.
How as Miami?
>> Rey: Oh, it was just what we needed.
Sharon and I are gonna be flying high from our trip for a long,
long time.
>> Michael: I'm glad you're back.
Uh, we need to talk about Chelsea's convalescent leave.
You know I've always had my doubts about this case.
And knowing Chelsea's history, I did my research.
Her mother's condition is definitely confirmed,
and that's why I didn't oppose the leave even though her
history also indicates that, you know, she likes to go on the
run.
>> Rey: Yeah, but you covered all your bases by insisting a
police escort be with her during the duration of her time outside
of Genoa City.
>> Michael: Not just any escort.
>> Chelsea: Victor, it's been decided.
Adam is allowing me to take Connor to Minnesota to see my
mother.
>> Victor: And I'm looking out for my grandson.
>> Chelsea: And you think I'm not?
I mean, this is all about control.
You're trying to keep me from my child.
>> Adam: Dad, I know we talked about this, but I changed my
mind.
For Connor's sake as much as for Chelsea's sake.
He needs to know that I'm not keeping his mother from him.
I want him to know that he can still rely on her.
>> Victor: Son, this isn't good enough, and you damn well know
it.
♪♪ ♪♪
>> Moses: Man, I had a blast.
I mean, I haven't ridden a horse in years.
>> Faith: Really?
You looked like a natural to me.
>> Moses: Oh, is it natural to almost fall of your horse five
times?
>> Faith: [ Chuckles ] And we hadn't even gotten out of the
stables yet.
>> Nikki: Hey.
It's nice to see you two having so much fun.
You must be thirsty after all that riding.
How about if I get you some lemonade?
>> Faith: Thanks, Grandma.
>> Moses: Yeah, thank you, Mrs. Newman.
I mean Nikki.
[ Chuckles ] >> Faith: I was just kidding.
Deep down, I bet you've got real equestrian talent.
>> Moses: [ Chuckles ] I guess you missed it when my
horse threatened to bolt, 'cause my life -- as short as it is --
flashed before my eyes.
But at least it didn't take long.
[ Both laugh ] >> Elena: I've prescribed that
medication at least a dozen times, and then, in front of the
patient, blanked on the name.
>> Nate: Oh, no!
>> Elena: The nurse had to remind me.
>> Nate: That doesn't inspire confidence.
>> Elena: No!
I'm surprised she didn't ask for another doctor.
>> Nate: I'm -- I'm sure she knew it was a momentary lapse.
She must have realized how lucky she was to have someone so
gifted treating her.
>> Elena: Gifted?
I don't know how gifted I was if I couldn't even remember the
name of her medication.
>> Nate: [laughs] It's happened to me a zillion
times.
Trust me, don't worry about it.
>> Elena: Wow.
Well, hearing that someone as flawless as you has made the
same mistake actually does make me feel better.
>> Nate: [ Chuckles ] So, save room for dessert?
>> Elena: Actually, I hope you saved room because I have
arranged something really special with the dessert chef.
Don't move.
I'm gonna serve it to you myself.
>> Imani: Nate.
What a pleasant surprise.
>> Nate: Hey.
>> Imani: Oh, I love that tie on you.
The color brings out the sparkle in your eyes.
>> Nate: Oh, thank you, Imani.
It's always nice to run into you.
Are you meeting someone for dinner?
>> Imani: Oh, no, I'm just picking up food for Amanda and
me.
We're working on the case tonight.
You know, I got here early, and there's no way my order's ready
yet.
Maybe we could have a drink or perhaps a little dessert.
Oh.
Hello, Elena.
I hope you brought enough for three.
>> Elena: Nope, just two.
>> Devon: So this is Naya's confession?
>> Amanda: Mm-hmm.
>> Devon: A Traci Abbott work of fiction would be more believable
than this.
>> Amanda: I mean, the very idea that she would have hired
someone to tamper with Richard's brakes, it's ludicrous.
>> Devon: Do you think Sutton told her what to say?
>> Amanda: I'm convinced that he had my father killed to protect
his political fiefdom.
You know, the mere existence of his twin granddaughters was a
threat to his career, but to coach his daughter into
confessing for a murder that he committed?
I mean [Scoffs] that is just too horrible to even contemplate.
>> Ashland: Well, it was bad enough that I went to the park
to have alone time with my son and I walked into family time
with Tara and Kyle.
>> Victoria: That sounds like a set-up to me.
>> Ashland: Yeah.
I mean, the whole thing bugged me so much that I started having
trouble...
>> Victoria: Trouble?
>> Ashland: Catching my breath.
Right in front of my son.
>> Victoria: Oh, come on, I bet Harrison didn't even notice.
>> Ashland: Well, I'm not too sure about that.
Kyle of all people had to distract him and take him away
from me.
It was so humiliating.
>> Victoria: I'm sure it's not as bad as you think.
>> Ashland: You've got to be kidding me.
You see for yourself.
Someone must have filmed this, and now it's gonna go public.
God, I hate this situation.
The -- All of it -- the video, the damn cancer --
>> Victoria: Ashland.
>> Ashland: I need to know who else has this video.
That's the question.
>> Billy: Man, Ashland is really struggling.
>> Lily: And in front of his kid, no less.
Look at what a jerk he's being to his ex-wife.
>> Billy: I wonder who took this video.
>> Lily: I don't know, but whoever made it made it
anonymously.
>> Billy: Yeah, and unfortunately sent it to all
the other outlets, which means we need to act fast if we're
gonna put it out there.
We need to beat our competitors to the punch.
>> Lily: Without knowing who made it or where it came from?
I mean, we have no context.
>> Billy: We can ask those questions later.
We got to scoop our competitors right now.
That's the most important thing.
>> Lily: We can't do that without knowing where it came
from.
>> Billy: Lily, what's the difference?
It's clear, it's authentic.
You're not gonna be able to fake something like that.
>> Lily: Putting this on our site without more information
would make us the kind of journalists that we don't want
to be, which is putting gossip out for gossip's sake, and
that's not who we are.
>> Billy: Actually, I think that you're having a hard time seeing
the big picture.
>> Billy: Ashland Locke is a public figure.
His health directly impacts people's livelihoods.
The video has context and meaning.
Not to mention, when we wrote our article, we talked about his
potential illness.
This only gives credence to our story.
We have a right to follow it up.
>> Lily: I don't know, sounds awfully self-serving to me.
>> Billy: Lily, we agreed to pursue the story.
Except...this is not about good or bad journalism, is it?
This is hitting a little too close to home for you.
When you had cancer, you wanted privacy.
Until it made it to the courts, and then everyone knew.
Wasn't your choice anymore.
>> Lily: Yes, that was bad, but this is worse.
I can't imagine how I would have felt at my worst moment if this
this video of me comes out circulating for people to gawk
at.
>> Billy: Look, I admire your strength and your bravery.
And please don't think that I'm taking this lightly, but that is
your experience and that is your story.
And I think we need to question whether your experience belongs
in this conversation.
>> Ashland: Okay, thanks.
My lawyer found out that the video is being fed to media
outlets in New York, but whoever uploaded it did it anonymously.
>> Victoria: Ashland, look at me.
Whoever is doing this, whatever happens, you don't have to go
through it alone.
>> Ashland: Thank you.
And you were right to demand that I open it.
You know, all of my life, I've kept my problems and feelings
bottled up tighter than a drum, even with Tara.
I always thought it was my secret weapon that gave me the
upper hand.
Finally, I have someone who I can let my guard down with.
It's a relief.
>> Victoria: Just kind of glad you actually listened.
>> Ashland: You know, I wonder what my life would have been
like had I met you sooner.
How different a man I would have been.
That's almost...
>> Victoria: Almost what?
>> Ashland: Too late.
I don't want to hear you say it doesn't have to be that way.
I can't have that conversation anymore.
I'm just grateful for the time that we do have.
>> Victoria: You know, I will never see you as anything other
than the most compelling man that I have ever been around in
my whole life.
I know you wonder what things might have been like.
Maybe they would have been different.
I don't know, but the one thing that I do know about you is that
cancer or no, you don't let anyone or anything define you.
You define yourself.
And that's why I am so drawn to you.
>> Moses: You know, I just realized I forgot to thank you.
>> Faith: For what?
>> Moses: For hearing me out about medicine.
I mean, it helped a lot to have someone to talk my second
thoughts out with.
And I guess I can just tell you things that I can't tell anyone
else.
>> Faith: You've done that for me, too.
>> Moses: We are that for each other, aren't we?
Do you ever think about that?
>> Faith: What?
>> Moses: About what we are to each other?
>> Faith: Sure, I do, sometimes.
Why would I invite you over otherwise?
We're good friends, right?
Besties?
Anyway, have you read the first book on the summer reading list?
>> Moses: Yeah.
I mean, no, I haven't had the chance to yet.
>> Faith: Me neither.
I just noticed that the first chapter alone is over 25 pages.
>> Moses: Wow.
Okay, I guess -- I haven't started on that yet.
Maybe I should probably go now.
>> Faith: Yeah, okay.
[ Sighs ] >> Nikki: Here we are.
Where's Moses?
>> Adam: Dad, this is not your decision to make.
>> Victor: And I'm telling you that he is my grandson and I'll
damn well be looking out for him, alright?
>> Chelsea: Well, he's my son.
And you don't get to dictate what he does.
>> Victor: I dictate to anyone any time I want to regarding my
family.
>> Adam: Look, Chelsea and Connor, they need to spend some
time together.
>> Victor: I'm telling you, you're making a mistake.
>> Chelsea: Why don't you just say it?
You don't trust me with my own son.
>> Victor: I don't.
You're damn right.
>> Adam: Alright, alright.
Why don't we calm down, guys?
>> Chelsea: Rey -- Rey, can you please explain to Victor that if
the judge doesn't see any danger with my release, then Victor
shouldn't either?
>> Rey: There's something you all should know.
The police escort that's gonna accompany you on your trip...
it's gonna be me.
>> Faith: Moses had to go.
>> Nikki: Is everything okay?
>> Faith: I'm not sure.
>> Nikki: Oh, honey, what happened?
>> Faith: Moses wanted to talk about what we are to each other,
and I wasn't sure what to say and then he left.
>> Nikki: So he wanted to talk to you about taking your
friendship to a deeper level, and you're not interested in
that?
>> Faith: Yes, I am.
A lot.
I just messed it all up.
I froze.
And I think I sent the wrong message.
The opposite of how I feel.
[ Sighs ] I did not handle that well at
all.
I think I sent him the signal that I want to keep things the
way that they are.
>> Nikki: Honey, you just got scared.
That's perfectly normal.
And you have a good thing going with Moses, and you don't want
to ruin it or lose it altogether.
>> Faith: I just didn't expect that subject to come out of the
blue like that.
>> Nikki: I think you're putting way too much pressure on
yourself.
>> Faith: [ Sighs ] I don't know, Grandma.
It's like whenever I'm riding my horse and about to go for a
jump.
Right before I commit and go for the leap, there's this split
second between knowing that I'm safe and not feeling so safe at
all, and I either have to go for it or chicken out.
>> Nikki: Well, you have made that same leap 1,000 times
before and you were always safe, right?
It wasn't terrifying.
It was exhilarating and fun.
>> Faith: Yeah, but this is different.
>> Nikki: Well, no, it really isn't.
I mean, your heart starts to beat faster and your breath gets
a little shallow.
That can mean that you're afraid, but it can also mean
that you are full of anticipation, waiting for
something wonderful to happen.
>> Faith: Really?
>> Nikki: Really.
Now, I want to promise me that you will never hide behind your
feelings 'cause the only thing that will do is make sure you
don't get what you want.
>> Elena: [ Clears throat ] Um...would you care to join us?
I'm sure it's challenging being in a new town.
No friends, lonely nights.
>> Imani: Oh, don't worry about me.
I'm making new friends every day.
But thank you for the offer.
However, it looks like my order is ready, so I'll have to turn
you down.
That tie really is your color.
>> Nate: [ Clears throat ] Man, I -- I can't believe how
delicious this dessert looks.
How did you know it's my favorite?
>> Elena: Let's just say I know what you want.
I always do.
[ Cellphone chimes ] >> Nate: Ooh, sorry.
Been waiting on this.
>> Elena: Work?
>> Nate: No.
It's good news.
I don't want to share it until it's all locked in, though.
>> Elena: You know it's only gonna make me more curious.
>> Nate: I promise it'll be worth the wait.
>> Elena: You're just gonna leave a girl hanging?
Not even a little hint?
>> Nate: Just -- Just a little bit longer.
I promise it'll be better once all the pieces are in place.
In the meantime, maybe you could put in a good thought for
me.
>> Elena: Oh, I'll hold on, alright.
But only until tonight.
My place?
>> Devon: Look, I know I'm just an interested bystander in all
this, but I'm kind of confused about your take on Sutton.
'Cause he's obviously and clearly a dangerous man.
You've proven that.
But it's too much for you to think that he's dictated every
word that Naya said?
You can be honest with me.
Is there a part of you that's still trying to keep hope that
your grandfather isn't just, like --
>> Amanda: Completely evil?
>> Devon: Yeah.
>> Amanda: Yeah.
I -- I don't think I know how to answer that.
I mean, this is all uncharted territory for me.
>> Devon: I understand.
Well, listen, at least you don't have to go through this alone.
>> Imani: Guess who I just ran into at Society.
>> Devon: Oh, boy. Who?
>> Imani: Your cousin.
How long before some local magazine does a piece on the
city's most eligible bachelors and puts Nate at the top of
the list?
>> Devon: Well, he's not exactly eligible, though.
>> Imani: Mm, Elena.
>> Devon: Yeah.
Well, listen, I'm gonna leave you ladies to get dinner and to
get to work.
But if you need anything at all, call me, okay?
See you.
>> Amanda: Oh, I sent you a copy of the brief that I plan to
submit.
Take a look at the witness list and the arguments that we're
gonna make.
Whenever you get a chance.
>> Sutton: Oh, Imani.
Hello.
I'm relieved that you finally decided to take on Naya's
defense, and I'd like to talk to you -- to both of you -- about
it, if you don't mind...
in private.
>> Lily: Look, your questions are fair, but you're wrong.
I only brought up my bout with cancer for context, and I'll
just leave it at that.
>> Billy: I understand why you would object.
I really do.
>> Lily: Yeah, I think posting this video without more
information is wrong.
It's a mistake.
We're media professionals.
We have to know everything there is to know about material before
we run with it.
>> Billy: And being professional means that you don't get scooped
by your competitors.
That's how we succeed in this business, but...you're right.
We need to find more information before we post it.
Ashland Locke doesn't deserve privacy, but he does deserve our
commitment to fair journalism.
So I'm gonna put someone on this and we'll see where it goes.
[ Cellphones chime ] >> Billy: Well, there we go.
It's out there, isn't it?
>> Lily: [ Sighs ] Are you upset our competitors
beat us to the punch?
>> Billy: No, you can't win every battle.
But I think you gave us a great idea.
>> Lily: Really?
>> Billy: You were right to question this context
and the agenda of the person who sent it to us.
And that is the story that we need to pursue.
>> Lily: Right.
Who wants to hurt Ashland and why?
>> Billy: Exactly.
And believe me, I want to find out just as badly.
>> Lily: Well, do you have any idea how?
>> Billy: A few.
>> Victoria: Okay, look, we have to face the reality.
The video is out there.
There's no doubt it's gonna get a lot of views.
There's nothing that we can do about it, so we need to focus on
what we can control.
>> Ashland: You're trying to distract me.
Well, we do have a huge merger coming together,
and I suppose that that's a worthy topic to distract
ourselves with.
>> Victoria: Speaking of distractions, maybe there's an
upside to this video after all.
The media, they might be so focused on that that we can
quietly finalize our deal.
>> Ashland: True.
>> Victoria: Coming to an agreement is nothing compared to
what we're gonna have to accomplish.
We have to make sure that this merger is a huge success.
>> Ashland: And the devil is in the details, but that's what we
do, isn't it?
>> Victoria: [ Chuckles ] >> Ashland: We get off on
fine-tuning a business until it hums like a well-oiled machine.
>> Victoria: We both have offices internationally.
We could travel the globe together, making our way through
the great cities of the world.
>> Ashland: Now, that is the best idea that I've heard in
quite some time.
Taking the time and energy I have left, investing it in
making this merger work and investing it in us.
This requires a toast.
Let's go downstairs and order their best bottle of champagne.
>> Victoria: I'm gonna check in with my nanny first, but I'll
join you down there.
You can order for me.
I know you know what I like.
>> Ashland: Yes, I'm pretty sure I do.
>> Chelsea: See?
It's not just any police officer that will be accompanying me.
It's Rey.
So you have nothing to worry about.
Connor's gonna be fine.
>> Rey: This was completely Michael's idea.
The only way he wouldn't fight you leaving the state was with
tight security in place.
>> Sharon: And so he chose you?
>> Rey: Yeah.
And we're gonna be driving, not flying, to avoid airport
terminals and large crowds for Chelsea to lose herself in.
>> Victor: Not gonna change my mind, alright?
This is not fair as far as my grandson is concerned.
That boy has barely settled in here.
Now you're gonna uproot him again?
>> Adam: Dad, this isn't up for debate.
It's my call.
Connor is going with Chelsea.
>> Victor: Your son, your decision.
You'll trust this woman after all she has done?
>> Adam: I do.
Anita needs Chelsea to be there, and Chelsea and Connor need some
time together.
>> "The Young and the Restless" will continue.
>> Nate: Hey, my man.
What's up?
>> Moses: Trust me, you don't want to know.
>> Elena: Of course we do.
>> Moses: Well, Faith and I had a great day.
I mean, we were hanging out, having fun, and then -- I don't
know -- she just shut down, just when I thought something
was happening.
>> Nate: Exactly what happened?
>> Moses: Well, we were just talking.
But when I started to bring up what we were gonna be -- I don't
know -- she just -- it got awkward.
She didn't want to discuss it and she changed the subject
really fast.
>> Nate: Did you take into consideration that Faith has had
a pretty tough year?
Maybe she's not ready to jump into something right now.
>> Moses: So what are you telling me, I should just give
up?
>> Elena: That is the worst thing you could do, especially
if you care about her.
You just need to make it clear that you're still interested.
>> Moses: But what if she's not into me like that?
>> Elena: Then she'll tell you and you'll have to accept it.
But it doesn't seem like that's what's going on here.
Taking things to the next step is one of the scariest parts of
a relationship.
But if you give up now, then it'll never happen.
And then you'll never know.
So don't give up yet.
>> Moses: Alright.
Thanks.
And I'm sorry to drop all my drama on you guys, but it seems
like I have some thinking to do, so I'll catch you guys later.
>> Nate: So, were you talking about Moses and Faith or you and
me?
>> Elena: [ Chuckles ] Both.
>> Rey: Everything is in place.
We'll be on the road shortly.
>> Michael: Remember, this is Chelsea's first breath of
freedom since her hearing, and we both know how cunning she is.
There's always the possibility...
>> Rey: That she'll pull something.
I'm confident she won't.
We had a long conversation about what she did.
Her remorse seemed genuine.
I think we can trust her.
>> Michael: Just keep your eyes open.
>> Rey: I will.
I'll be checking in.
You okay with this?
>> Chelsea: Wasn't there someone else available?
>> Rey: Yeah, trust me, I'd rather not go, but I've been
given the assignment, and I have to see it through.
I promise I'll be back before you even have a chance to miss
me.
>> Sharon: Oh, that's not possible.
I already miss you.
>> Victor: I just don't understand why Adam won't listen
to reason.
I mean, why is he willing to take such a chance with his own
son, for heaven's sake?
This could backfire on all of us.
>> Nikki: Well, it sounds like every precaution has been taken
to ensure Connor's safety, and it's a good idea to have Rey
watch Chelsea.
You know, what more can be done?
>> Victor: Nothing.
You know that Chelsea's on the way over to pick up Connor.
You know that, right?
This could very well be the last time we'll see him.
>> Nikki: Oh, Victor, hyperbole is not going to solve anything.
>> Victor: No, sweetheart, I'm not exaggerating one iota.
Have you forgotten Chelsea's history?
>> Nikki: Oh, believe me, my eyes are wide open when it comes
to that woman.
But Adam has driven many people to the extremes.
Connor doesn't understand any of that.
He just knows that he loves and misses his mother.
>> Adam: Thanks, Nikki.
I didn't expect you to take my side...even if you managed to
insult me in the process.
>> Ashland: Why am I not surprised to run into you?
>> Billy: I assume that you've seen the video?
Did you know that it's gone viral already?
>> Ashland: Mm, so this is your ambush-style tactic?
Here to grill me for a comment?
>> Billy: No, ChancComm didn't link to the video.
We had it early enough, but we chose not to.
>> Ashland: Oh, so I guess you're looking for
congratulations on not being pond scum?
Looking for my eternal gratitude that you have taken the
professional high road for a change?
What is it that you're after this time?
>> Billy: Oh, I just wanted to remind you, in case you've
forgotten, that there is a deal on the table for ChancComm to
acquire Locke Communications Group.
>> Ashland: No, I haven't forgotten, and I hope you also
understand that there would be no deal at all if you had posted
this video, right?
Your company would be dead in the water.
I hope that's not why you held back.
>> Billy: No, no, we have integrity.
>> Ashland: Good.
>> Billy: That's why we did it.
>> Ashland: Because I said I would contact you within 24
hours if I was interested.
Obviously, I haven't, so that should've been a clue to you
that there's no deal to be made.
>> Billy: [ Chuckles ] >> Victoria: Billy, what are you
doing here?
>> Billy: Oh, just talking business.
It's what people like us like to do.
>> Ashland: Don't worry, you didn't miss anything.
The conversation was over, right, Billy?
>> Billy: Uh, not quite.
I do have one more thing, and this is not an ambush question.
It's more of an observation.
>> Ashland: I'm not sure if I care to hear it, but go on.
>> Billy: The video that was sent to us was sent anonymously.
And ChancComm has the resources to uncover who Anonymous is,
if you are interested.
>> Victoria: Uh, may I remind you that ChancComm isn't the
only company with resources.
And, also, if I recall correctly, I think that
Locke Communications' resources far exceed ChancComm's.
>> Billy: Well, there you go.
I guess I will be moving on then.
Great to see you both.
>> Ashland: Accidently on purpose, no doubt.
>> Billy: No doubt.
>> Ashland: Uh, Billy?
You know, there might be something that we can share with
you for publication.
Victoria and I are making an announcement in the morning.
Something of a personal and business nature.
>> Sutton: Let me start by saying I truly regret how heated
things got the last time we talked.
Some things were said -- outlandish things that I hope we
can get past.
I'm sure everybody in this room wants the same thing -- Naya's
acquittal.
>> Amanda: Whatever it takes.
>> Sutton: So I think it's best that things said in the heat of
the moment be forgotten.
We need to be allies instead of foes if we want to win this
thing.
>> Amanda: No one wants to see Naya go to prison for something
she didn't do.
Now, that would be a tragedy.
>> Sutton: I've lived a lifetime navigating difficult situations,
and I want to put all my knowledge and experience at your
disposal.
>> Amanda: I am sure you do.
>> Sutton: So it would help to know the approach you plan to
take once you're in court.
>> Amanda: I'm afraid that's still a work in progress.
>> Sutton: So what's your angle?
Imani, I'm sure you have some idea of the direction of your
defense.
>> Amanda: Sutton, to be honest, we are not comfortable
discussing our defense strategy with you.
You will hear all about it when the judge calls for opening
remarks.
But until then, we want to be quiet.
I think it's best for everyone involved, especially Naya.
>> Sutton: This is a mistake.
If anyone can help you make this case, it's me.
I am a powerful man with lots of connections.
>> Amanda: Oh, we don't want you to bring out your big guns just
yet.
We are confident that we got this.
>> Sutton: I would hate to be disappointed.
And I guarantee you don't want to be the one who lets me down.
>> Amanda: Well, that is good to know.
Now, I hate to cut this short, but we have a lot of work to do
and our dinner's getting cold, so...
>> Sutton: [ Chuckles ] >> Nikki: I hope you're not
expecting an apology for what I said because I stand by it.
Actually, I was defending Connor.
>> Adam: As always, I do appreciate the honesty.
>> Nikki: Well, I'll leave you and Victor alone.
I'm sure you have things to discuss.
>> Adam: I thought this was settled.
Then I show up here and I find out that you're just as opposed
to it as you were before.
>> Victor: Listen to me.
Connor's your son.
And you should make decisions where he's concerned.
But I want you to know that I always look out for my family.
>> Adam: Look, I know that we've been treading carefully.
>> Victor: Okay.
>> Adam: Working out this new partnership, learning to work
together without stepping on each other's toes,
and I think that we've been successful in that.
But this isn't business.
This is deeply personal, and I'm not gonna let the lines get
crossed or even blurred, for that matter.
>> Victor: This is your decision to make because it pertains to
your boy.
I just hope we won't regret it.
>> Adam: I'm right there with you.
>> Rey: Are you gonna be okay?
I know you were worried about Mariah.
>> Sharon: I did find it odd that she left town without
telling Tessa or Abby, but I texted her myself.
>> Rey: She respond?
>> Sharon: Yeah.
She apologized for worrying everyone.
Turns out she forgot her phone charger and her phone was dead.
She's fine.
She's just enjoying a little time away from everybody
hovering over her.
>> Rey: Knowing you're not worried is gonna make it easier
for me to go.
Speaking of which...
Chelsea, you ready?
>> Chelsea: Yeah.
And, Rey, I know you were ordered to do this, but I just
want you to know how grateful I am.
>> Rey: I think getting some distance from Adam will be good
for everyone.
>> Billy: I tell you, Ashland really threw me with that last
comment.
>> Lily: What do you think he meant?
>> Billy: Mm, I have no idea.
I just hope he's not sending me a wedding invitation tomorrow.
>> Lily: [ Chuckles ] Now, that would be a scoop.
>> Billy: Victoria was surprised by his little tease.
The fact that it was in personal and business nature.
She didn't expect it.
>> Lily: Mm, curiouser and curiouser.
>> Billy: I think she thought she had more time before this
went public.
I said from the beginning she's getting too deep with this guy,
and it's all just way too intense and very risky.
>> Ashland: Forgive me for surprising you like that in
front of Billy, but I called my lawyer when I was on the way
down here in the elevator.
>> Victoria: And?
>> Ashland: I learned that the due diligence is finally done.
You will be hearing soon from your attorneys.
They signed off on every aspect of the deal.
>> Victoria: [ Gasps ] It's done?
Really?
>> Ashland: We are one, Victoria.
All that's left now is to share it with the rest of the world.
>> Victoria: Then let's do it.
>> Ashland: Salud.
>> Imani: Well, I guess that's what you call a calculated
fishing expedition.
It was all I could do to keep from screaming at Grandfather.
>> Amanda: Let's just keep him guessing.
I'm not sure how long we can keep him from realizing that
we're going after him as part of Naya's defense, but every day
that we keep him at bay, the better chance we have of making
this work and making sure that my father's real killer pays for
what he did.
>> Imani: Defying him on anything, especially this, it's
hard.
But you're right.
This is the only way to save our mother.
>> Amanda: Look, I know that this must be more difficult for
you than it is for me.
I've never had the type of relationship that you have with
him.
>> Imani: If he hadn't acted so horribly, I wouldn't have even
considered betraying him like this.
>> Amanda: Well, maybe in the meantime, we should both get the
brakes on our cars checked daily.
>> Imani: I know you're joking, but there are other ways he can
do damage if he wants to.
That's what he was hinting at when he left.
>> Amanda: Well, he might be used to taking down all of his
enemies, but he's never gone up against me.
>> Victor: Well, Chelsea and Rey.
On time.
>> Chelsea: Um, where's Connor?
Is he ready?
>> Adam: Nikki is helping him finish packing.
He's very excited, so he's gonna meet you guys at the car with
his bags.
>> Victor: Rey, I would like you to keep me informed about the
trip, alright?
>> Chelsea: Victor, you don't have to worry.
I'm not about to jeopardize my chance at legitimate freedom.
And, um...Adam, thank you again.
I'll never be able to express the words of how much this means
to me.
>> Adam: I hope that this time away is everything you want it
to be.
>> Victor: They're leaving as we speak.
I do not want you to let them out of your eye sight, is that
clear?
Not even a minute.
