Abby: Hi.
[ Sighs ] Hi.
Lily: Hi.
Abby: Uh, picking up food to go?
Lily: Uh, yeah, I am.
Abby: Do you want me to go check on your order?
Lily: No, no, no, it’s fine. They said it’d be ready in a few minutes.
Abby: Oh. Let me guess. You are picking up food to bring back to the office because you’re working overtime.
Lily: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, well, there is a lot going on at chancellor-winters these days.
Abby: How are you feeling about everything?
Lily: Well, you were there when devon said he’s ready to go to court over this.
Abby: [ Sighs ]
Lily: What do you think about it? I mean, I know that you’re loyal to devon, and clearly he trusts you if he said it was fine for you to stay while we were chatting.
It’s probably because I know you both so well, and he didn’t think it would do any harm.
Lily: Yeah. Well, I just really felt like I found a win-win situation for us. I mean, he gets to keep the name and get paid handsomely, and we get to move forward with the ipo. Anybody clearly, devon doesn’t feel the same way about it.
Lily: Yeah, but how do you feel about it? Because, I mean, you were very quiet during our conversation. Do you really think that devon is making the right decision?
[ Footsteps approaching ]
Devon: Look who it is.
Victoria: Hello, there, devon.
Devon: Hi, victoria.
Victoria: So, how are things going with the ipo?
Devon: Uh, well, why would I want to talk about that with you after you tried to take my company?
Victoria: I may have had some interest initially, but I’ve moved on.
Devon: Oh, well, that’s good to hear. You’ve been making some interesting choices lately at newman media. I hope you don’t regret hiring nate and audra, since they both betrayed chancellor-winters.
Victoria: I’m sorry there’s a rift between you and nate.
Devon: Are you?
Victoria: Yes, of course I am. I know how important family is, and I know how tricky family business can be.
Devon: Bet you do.
Victoria: Speaking of family, how are things going with tucker?
Daniel: Thank you. I’m willing to sit down with you, but anything we discuss regarding omega sphere is purely hypothetical. You know that I have a deal with chancellor-winters.
Tucker: I do. I was gonna ask you about that.
[ Clears throat ] What’s the current status of your contract there, with their ipo on hold?
Daniel: Should have a better idea in a week.
Tucker: I admire your patience [Chuckles] And your loyalty, [Inhales deeply] Especially to a company that seems so in flux.
Daniel: Well, lily is a dear and trusted friend.
Tucker: Hmm. Yeah, but she can’t know everything, right? And this is your vision, your future. It’s a possible legacy move for you. Have you ever been involved in anything potentially this big?
Daniel: Nothing of this scale when it comes to business. I was an artist, so I was painting, doing photography. These are all uncharted waters for me, which is why I need to make sure that I align myself with someone that I trust completely.
Tucker: You mean, someone unlike me.
[ Laughs ]
[ Glasses clink ]
Diane: Hey, thank you for telling me about your conversation with kyle. I need to speak to him now. You know, I just don’t want his fears about us to fester. And if he felt the need to discuss them with you, then I should do the same with him.
Jack: I’ll call and tell him to join us.
Diane: No, no, no, no. I should talk to him alone. I — I want him to be able to speak his mind freely without worrying what your reaction would be or wondering if you were going to defend me or not.
Jack: And we both know I would.
Diane: [ Chuckles ] Yeah. This also is not a conversation for the office.
Jack: Okay, you decide what’s best.
Diane: Yeah. Kyle. Hi. I was wondering if we could talk. Um, can you meet me at the house?
Nick: As misguided as it is for dad to try and create trouble for you at jabot, it does seem like he wants to bring you back in the fold. Hey, is everything alright?
Sally: Yeah, it’s fine.
Nick: Doesn’t seem like that.
Sally: I am more interested in what the two of you were discussing. The parts of your body that collagen supports:

Adam: Uh, my brother was just alerting me to a potential land mine set by our father, and I was about to thank him, even though his motives were potentially self-serving.
Nick: Well, adam, I just hope you can use the information regardless of why I shared it. Sly well, I’m just relieved the two of you aren’t battling each other — at least, not now.
Adam: Oh,no, we’re not ready to throw a fist just yet. We are, um — what are we doing? How would you characterize this, nicholas?
Nick: Just trying to keep our father from causing trouble.
Sally: Hmm. Good. Uh, you know, I — I’ve kind of lost my appetite. I-I should get going, but —
Adam: Hold on a second. Alright, you are not acting like yourself. What’s — what’s wrong?
Sally: It’s nothing, I swear. You know, I just have a lot on my mind, getting this new company going. You know, we’ve hit a few snags, but it’s all gonna work out.
Nick: I’ll leave with you.
Adam: [ Sighs ]
Nick: What’s going on? That phone call really seemed to upset you.
Sally: Uh, it was my O.B., Dr. Chandler, but I really don’t want to talk about it in here, so…
Adam: [ Sighing ]
Devon: Why would you ask me about tucker?
Victoria: I just know that it must be tense now that you know his true motives for coming to genoa city was to take control of chancellor-winters and jabot. I mean, it must hurt, given that when he first came back, he said that he wanted to connect with you and dominic.
Devon: Well, I didn’t trust him from the day he turned up, so that doesn’t hurt that much. But I imagine that you learned about his true motives from audra?
Victoria: No, actually, i talked with tucker about it myself.
Devon: Oh, you did? That’s interesting. You seem awfully curious about my relationship with him and the ipo and chancellor-winters, all in the same conversation.
Victoria: I’m just asking you as a friend. It’s not business.
Devon: I don’t know if you’d call us friends, victoria, but I do know that you don’t do anything casually. So why don’t you just come clean about what you really want?
Tucker: I know you’re wary of me, and not without good reason, considering my history in this town with some of the folks. But I just wish I could convince you that we share a similar vision.
Daniel: Hmm. I actually do think that we share some common ground. Your pitch earlier struck a chord with me.
Tucker: Really?
Daniel: Mm hmm. So much so that I spoke with my mother about it.
Tucker: Uh-oh.
Daniel: [ Chuckles ]
Tucker: I cannot imagine phyllis was in favor of us going into business together.
Daniel: [ Chuckles ] Oh, you are correct. Well, this is my venture. I’m going to make the final decision as to who we partner with if things do fall apart at chancellor-winters. My mother, well, she’s going to have to deal with whatever decision I make.
Tucker: I like the sound of that, although I know phyllis can be a little, uh…
Daniel: Bossy?
Tucker: [ Chuckles ]
Daniel: Stubborn?
Tucker: [ Chuckles ]
Daniel: Always thinks she’s right?
Tucker: I was gonna say “formidable,” but…
Daniel: Mm-hmm. Well, she works for me, so I’ll handle her. And that doesn’t mean I’m gonna turn my back on lily — you know, not without cause.
Tucker: Sure.
Daniel: I just hope that’s something that you can appreciate and, um, maybe back off until things have settled.
Tucker: But you should know, my company is absolutely the most viable place for your dream to come to life. And, uh, [Chuckles] When i set my heart to something, I — I don’t ever give up, which [Sighs] Has been a problem for me, learning to let go. So I’ve been combating that with the belief that things are going to work out the way they’re meant to. You know, simply trust the universe and all that?
Daniel: I’m sorry, what did you say?
Abby: Look, I have seen far too many times how business can damage family relationships. And at first, I was trying to nudge devon to accept the buyout.
Lily: Yeah, well, too bad it didn’t work.
Abby: I disagree. I mean, after listening to devon, I understand his perspective. Hamilton-winters means so much to him, and it would be awful for him to lose it to some ipo that he never supported in the first place.
Lily: Yeah, but do you realize how ugly a lawsuit could become? I mean, you think there’s hurt feelings and resentment now. Imagine what going to court would do.
Abby: Honestly, I don’t know why you and jill don’t just accept devon’s decision. Chancellor industries was huge before it ever merged with hamilton-winters. So why don’t you just go back to that? And why are you willing to fight your brother for something that’s dollars and cents to you, but it means everything to devon? I think it says more about your priorities than anything else.
Lily: [ Chuckles ] How dare you question my priorities? To you, it may just be an elevator.
Lily: Who are you to tell me that I care more about my business than my family? My family has always been a priority to me, and I really resent you saying otherwise.
Abby: I think you’re misinterpreting what I said. I never said you didn’t value your family.
Lily: Abby, I’m only talking to you about this because I’m trying to figure out a way to have devon and I work this out together. I’m not trying to get you to convince him to not fight for his company. I’m trying to convince him to stay at chancellor-winters.
Abby: Devon has made it clear — drop the ipo.
Lily: Jill is not gonna go for that. She’s not. The whole reason for this merger was to have our family work together. And I’ve already lost nate, and now I feel like I’m losing devon. And he’s saying that he wants to protect our father’s legacy. Like, he’s my father, too. Of course I want to protect his legacy. And he doesn’t realize that if we go to court over this, it could damage hamilton-winters. And I don’t think he’s considering that risk.
Abby: Have you said this to your brother?
Lily: I’ve tried. I have tried, and he just seems so set in doing this. Abby, listen, I would never ask you to go against your instinct, but you said you know what kind of turmoil this could cause to a family. So a legal battle would damage us all. So I’m just asking you if you think that devon might regret walking away. Just tell him that. Please, just tell him that, as one last try.
Victoria: I’m not sure what you mean. I don’t really have anything to come clean about.
Devon: Oh, really? Okay, well, then I’m gonna go ahead and take off because I need to get back home. Abby is dropping off dominic, so I’ll see you later.
Victoria: Devon, uh…
Devon: Yeah?
Victoria: [ Sighs ] = You may not see it this way, but I still — I still see you as a friend. And we are connected by family through abby and dominic. I hope we can find a way to separate the business and the personal. I’ve had to learn to do that as a newman. It’s not easy.
Devon: [ Chuckles ]
Victoria: But if you count everyone that you have a different professional agenda with your enemy, then your circle gets very small.
[ Footsteps departing ] Um… can I get a coffee to go? And, um… a croissant? Thank you.
Tucker: I’m — I’m trying to trust the universe?
Daniel: [ Chuckles ] The same exact thing that heather always used to say to me. Sorry. It just caught me off guard, hearing those words.
[ Sighs ] Anytime I would lose my patience, get frustrated, she would always tell me to stop fighting and trust the universe.
Tucker: Hmm. You miss her a lot?
Daniel: I do. But I’m following her advice and yours. I’m living my life and I’m having faith that one day we’re gonna be reunited. That’s — that’s the reason why this project is so important to me and believe that it’s the path that I’m meant to be on, the one that’s gonna bring me back to lucy and heather. So I’m just trusting the universe.
Tucker: Hmm. I guess you must have a certain amount of trust in phyllis, too.
Daniel: Why would you say that?
Tucker: I assumed she was going to portugal to help smooth things over with your partner and daughter. The universe needs a little boost sometimes.
[ Footsteps approaching ]
Diane: [ Sighs ]
[ Door opens ]
Kyle: [ Sighs ]
[ Door closes ]
Diane: Hey, thanks for coming. Um, I-I know you’re busy, but I — I kind of felt like this conversation couldn’t wait, and, well, I thought we could use some privacy.
Kyle: What you want to talk about?
Diane: Well, I spoke to summer, and she clearly has reservations about jack and i being romantically involved again. I — I tried to address her concerns, but I-I-I don’t know how effective I was.
Kyle: Well, I haven’t had a chance to talk to summer about that yet.
Diane: Well, I also spoke to jack, and he told me that the two of you talked earlier.
Kyle: Thought that was supposed to be a private father-son conversation. Is this how it’s gonna be now — I say something to one of you and it’s automatically shared with the other?
Diane: No, no, absolutely not. But, kyle, that’s why I wanted to talk to you. I-I don’t want to hear how you’re feeling from summer or from jack. I want to hear it from you. And [Sighs] I want you to be honest with me. Suffering from sinus congestion, especially at night?
Kyle: I am still processing the idea that you and dad are back together. Like I said before, when you broke the news. I’m conflicted.
Diane: And I want you to tell me why.
Kyle: I’m worried things may not work out, which happen way more often than “happily ever after.”
Diane: Kyle, I have no intention of messing things up with jack. I love your father’s big heart, and I am not going to break it again.
Kyle: I want to believe that. But people make promises and things happen. Things have happened. I know you’ve hurt him in the past, moving us around, cutting us off from him.
Diane: Alright, well, things were complicated back then.
Kyle: Yeah, but dad’s heart is not complicated. And if it is broken, so is the entire abbott family, because we rely on him, we lean on him.
Diane: I know, and I accept that responsibility.
[ Sighs ] But I-I can’t let the fear of what might happen keep me from being happy now. And it’s not just one-sided. I mean, I’m taking a leap of faith with this romance, too. We both are. Because, I don’t know, it just feels right in so many ways that it hasn’t before. But you’re right, you’re right. There are no guarantees. But jack and i both have a lot at stake. And we’ve gone into this consciously and cautiously.
[ Sighs ] But I get the sense that there’s more going on for you when it comes to this. You’re not just protecting jack’s heart, are you?
Sally: [ Sighs ]
Nick: [ Sighs ] Alright, now that we, uh, have some privacy, do you want to tell me what your doctor said?
Sally: Um, yeah, I’m — I, um– I just went in for some routine prenatal testing, and — and everything’s fine, but, um, they want me to come back in because my blood pressure is high.
Nick: Has that been an issue for you in the past?
Sally: No, not at all. And I mean, dr. Chandler assured me there was nothing to worry about at this point. I’m in good physical shape. They said they’d just keep an eye on it and treat it if need be.
Nick: Okay, well, it sounds like your doctor’s just being cautious.
Sally: Yeah. Yeah, but it still threw me. It just got me thinking about this massive responsibility coming my way and all the ways that my life is gonna change, in the ways that I’m gonna have to adjust — ways that I-I can’t predict and ways I-I never even planned for. And just got me thinking, how — how am I gonna navigate all of it?
Tucker: Yeah, phyllis told me about her trip to portugal. You seem surprised. Did you not know?
Daniel: [ Chuckles ]
Tucker: Oh, man, I’m sorry I-I overstepped. Pretend I didn’t say anything.
Daniel: No. No, no, I-I appreciate the information. Not a big fan of surprises, especially ones concocted by my mother.
Tucker: Mm. Yeah, I’m — again, I’m sorry if I caused you any trouble. Listen, I got to get going, but I’m really looking forward to continuing this conversation. So, alright, man? Give me a call anytime you want. Okay?
Daniel: Thank you.
Tucker: Alright. See you.
[ Footsteps approaching ]
Daniel: [ Clears throat ] I don’t know what you think you’re doing, but you better stop. You better not have gotten on that plane.
Devon: [ Sighing ] Oh, yeah. Oh.
Abby: Hey, you.
Devon: Hey.
Abby: I just got here. Dominic had a busy day at the play gym, so I put him down for a nap.
Devon: Oh, nice.
Abby: Is everything okay? What’s on your mind?
Devon: Um, I just ran into victoria at the coffeehouse, and now I can’t shake the feeling that she’s up to something with tucker.
Abby: Why would victoria be involved with tucker in any way?
Devon: I have zero idea. But she seemed oddly curious about my relationship status with him, and I don’t know if it had anything to do with chancellor-winters or not, but…
Abby: Weird. Um… [ Chuckles ]
Devon: [ Chuckles ]
Abby: Oh, I actually had an interesting run-in with your sister, and she said some things that surprised me.
Devon: How so?
Abby: I thought that lily was fighting you over hamilton-winters because she wanted to hang on to the winters half of chancellor-winters.
Devon: If she’s not, why is she fighting me at all and refusing to sell me my company back?
Abby: She painted a very different picture today. I’m managing my high blood pressure,
“The young and the restless”
will continue. What’s the #1 retinol brand
Devon: What exactly did lily say to you?
Abby: [ Sighs ] That she’s a sister who wants nothing more than to work alongside her brother.
Devon: Right. Well, yeah, I know that. That was the whole original motive for merging the companies together. But I don’t think she wants it anymore, since she’s siding with jill and wanted to hold on to my company.
Abby: Or maybe that’s her way of getting you to stay on.
Devon: How does she figure that’s gonna work? Getting me to stay on board? What, she wants to unify our family by not listening to my concerns and refusing to sell me back hamilton-winters?
Abby: Look, I know that it sounds crazy, but I saw lily’s pain. I could hear it in her voice. And, yes, maybe for jill, it’s about the bottom line. But for lily, I think she just wants to hang on to her dream. The dream of you two working together. She doesn’t want to hang on to hamilton-winters. She wants to hang on to you.
[ Paper tearing ]
Esther: Knock, knock.
[ Chuckles ]
Lily: Hey.
Esther: [ Chuckling ] Hi. I thought you could use a pick-me-up, and I made it just the way you like it.
Lily: Oh, my gosh. Thank you. I really appreciate that.
Esther: So, I haven’t seen, uh, devon here today. I-is he working from home, taking care of that adorable dom?
Lily: [ Chuckles ] Uh, well, I’m not really sure where he is.
Esther: I-is everything okay with him?
Lily: Yeah. Yeah, yeah. He’s, um — he’s fine.
Esther: Okay, well, if you need anything, anything at all, I’m here.
Lily: Thank you. Not really sure there’s much more you can do right now.
Esther: Okay.
Lily: Anyway, thank you for the tea.
[ Chuckles ]
[ Footsteps departing ]
[ Door closes ]
Sally: [ Sighs ]
Nick: Listen…
Sally: [ Sighs ]
Nick: …Don’t worry about it, alright? It’s not gonna do your blood pressure any good.
Sally: I know. I know. I just can’t help it.
[ Sighs ]
Nick: I know you were hoping you wouldn’t have to deal with the reality of becoming a parent for a little while longer. But it sounds like your pregnancy has other plans in mind. I know it can be overwhelming.
Sally: Oh, you don’t know. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I just — I-I-I am overwhelmed.
Nick: I know. I know. You’re not alone in this. Okay? I’m right here with you.
Sally: I just don’t want this to put any pressure on us. I mean, we’re supposed to be taking things slow. We’re just figuring this out. You know what this is, who we are.
Nick: Stop. We don’t have to think about things like that. We only have to look as far ahead as your next doctor’s appointment, okay?
Sally: Okay.
[ Sniffles ]
Nick: Okay.
Sally: Thank you.
Kyle: I feel like I’m taking a big risk opening up my heart to you again. I thought you were gone forever. And then you just showed up, and I had to wrap my head around the fact that you purposefully abandoned me. You let me believe you were dead. And when I found out you were alive, all those memories came rushing back. You can’t imagine what that was like.
Diane: Uh, you’re right. I — I can’T.
Kyle: And I had to reconcile the existence of a woman who could do that to her son with the nurturing mother I remember from my childhood. And you swore you worked for years to turn your life around, and you came back to ask my forgiveness, to be in my life and harrison’S. And I desperately wanted to believe you were genuine, that the hole you had left could be filled, and you have filled it to a large degree. But it is still hard to quiet the lingering doubts in the recesses of my mind.
Diane: Tsk. I… I don’t know if I will ever be able to heal the wound that I create. But, kyle, you have to believe me that you and harrison are the reason I came back, the reason I’ve stayed.
Kyle: Yeah, but we continue to be surprised by secrets from your past. The danger jeremy stark brought to our family. The risky plot you enlisted my dad in.
Diane: That wasn’t my intent.
Kyle: I know it was mostly dad’s idea, but he became a jewel thief for you. He stole from summer’s grandmother for you. So, excuse me if I have some reservations about where this relationship with my father could lead.
Diane: [ Sighs ] We pulled people off the street
Esther: Oh! Oh, you’re here! Oh. Oh, gosh. Uh-oh, I-it’s too much. Sorry. I-I-I just got caught up.
Devon: It’s okay. You alright?
Esther: I-I-I promise, I’m being discreet and not engaging in office gossip. But I want you to know that I absolutely adore you. You’re mrs. C’s grandson, and dom is katherine’s sweet great-grandchild. And I absolutely love working here for her family and for yours. And I-I-I’m just praying that you and your sister can work things out.
Devon: Oh, thank you very much for saying that. It means a lot to me. But I promise you, we’re gonna be just fine. We are. Sometimes things have to change, and you know, it’s the way things are. But I’m glad that you’re still the same esther that I’ve always known and loved.
Esther: Oh, back at you, sweetheart. Oh. Mwah.
Devon: Appreciate you.
Esther: I so love you.
Devon: We’ll be just fine. I’ll see you.
Esther: Okay, okay.
[ Door closes ]
[ Doorbell rings ]
Tucker: Oh, abby. Hi. I didn’t expect to see you. Did I knock on the wrong door?
Abby: Devon’s not here. I’m watching dominic. You know, devon and I are co-parents, so it shouldn’t be that surprising to see me here.
Tucker: No, just cut me a little off guard. May I come in? I got a little gift for dominic.
Abby: Dominic’s sleeping. And don’t think that this gift is gonna win any favor with devon or score any points with me.
Tucker: Your unapologetic disdain for me is very refreshing.
Abby: Well, there’s no need to fake civility, now that we know the real reason you’re in town.
Tucker: Oh, yeah. I understand why you might feel that way, given what you’ve heard, but I don’t believe you know the whole story. Will you give me a minute so I can tell you the rest of it?
Abby: [ Sighs ]
[ Footsteps approaching ]
[ Knock on door ]
Adam: Can I talk to you for a minute?
Jack: Absolutely. Come on in.
Adam: Hmm.
Jack: How’s it going?
Adam: Pretty smoothly. Or so I thought [Clears throat] Up until today.
Jack: Oh?
Adam: I just, uh, wanted to let you know that things might get a little more tumultuous around here.
Jack: Why is that?
Adam: Well, I don’t know all the details, but I found out that victor is working on a scheme to pull the rug out from under me here at jabot.
Jack: I can’t say I’m surprised. It’s kind of a classic victor move. Is he punishing you for leaving newman?
Adam: Well, according to nick, he wants to force me to come back to the company and the family. Guessing he thinks, if I failed here, it’d be a motivator to bring me back home.
Jack: Never ceases to amaze me how that man’s mind works.
Adam: ‘Cause it’s so twisted.
Jack: You said that, not me.
Adam: Well, at least, now that I know there is a plan in the works, I can avoid the trap.
Jack: We can handle victor and whatever plans he has.
Adam: Mm-hmm. There is one other thing that I need to tell you that I don’t think you’re going to be happy about. I suspect that kyle is involved.
Diane: Now that jeremy stark is out of our lives, there’s no more danger. And there are no more secrets from my past.
Kyle: Relieved to hear that.
Diane: And I’m not going to hurt jack or break his heart.
Kyle: There’s a part of me that sincerely hopes this works out. And my dad has assured me that he is walking into this with his eyes wide-open. But relationships implode all the time for all kinds of reasons. What happens if that’s the case? What will you do?
Diane: You’re still afraid that I’m going to leave again. Kyle, listen to me.
[ Sighs ] I can’t guarantee what the future holds for me and jack. But I can promise you that whatever happens, I will never abandon you again. Why do dermatologists worldwide recommend
Abby: Don’t expect me to offer you a drink.
Tucker: I’m — I’m crystal clear on the boundaries. I appreciate you letting me, uh, tell my side of things.
Abby: [ Scoffs ] I cannot wait to hear how you twist reality to fit your agenda.
Tucker: I profoundly regret how I bungled my attempt to reconnect with devon. I came back to genoa city expressly to bond with him, both professionally and personally. But I handled it wrong and made a major miscalculation.
Abby: It’s interesting how you left my mother out of your mea culpa.
Tucker: No, I wronged her, too. But while she’s on a different continent, there’s not much I can do about that. But I don’t plan on throwing in the towel when it comes to devon. I-I genuinely want to find a way to make things right with him. Uh, I’m just not gonna give up on my own son or my grandson.
Abby: Well, you should, immediately.
Tucker: Excuse me?
Abby: Devon is going through a lot right now. And the last thing he needs is more trouble from you. All you do is bring pain and turmoil into people’s lives. You’re bad news. You always have been.
Tucker: You’re protective of devon, and I admire that.
Abby: You should go… now.
[ Sighs ]
Tucker: I’ll be back another time…
Abby: [ Sighs ]
Tucker: …Because this is not the end of this.
Abby: It is, if I have anything to say about it. Here’s a little advice. Don’t cross me. Don’t cross us.
[ Door slams ]
[ Sighs ]
Lily: This is a surprise. What, uh — what’s going on?
Devon: Abby told me about the conversation you guys had.
Lily: Okay, what did — what did she say?
Devon: She said that you told her that the real reason that you want to keep ahold of hamilton-winters isn’t just to strengthen the ipo, but rather to keep me on board so we can keep working together as a family.
Lily: Yes. Yes, that’s true. So I hope the fact that you’re here means that you believe it.
Devon: No, I’m here because it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me. And I don’t know why you would use abby to influence me one way or the other.
Lily: Uh, [Chuckles] Okay. Uh, no, I did not seek her out. We ran into each other. And, yeah, I was talking to her because I thought maybe she could get you to hear what I haven’t been able to do, which is that I’m sad and I’m scared because I’m afraid of how ugly this lawsuit could get. And I don’t want us to have what we created fall apart.
Devon: Yeah, but realize it’s only fallen apart because of what you or jill are doing to me. You’re siding with her to move forward with this ipo, despite how I feel, and now you’re not giving me my company back.
Lily: Devon, that’s not true. I-I want you to stay here. I want us to keep working together.
Devon: Right, as long as i go along with you and jill. A partnership doesn’t work like that. And you claim to care about neil’s legacy, but you won’t let me protect hamilton-winters properly. So you’re just proving to me that you care more about profits and jill’s agenda than you do your family or me.
Lily: [ Sighs ]
Devon: And the fact that you don’t see it that way, it hurts.
Kyle: [ Sighing ] Man. I want to believe you. I do. Just like all the other times, I’ve given you the benefit of the doubt. Of course, I want you and dad to be happy. Why wouldn’t I? But you’ve asked me to be honest about how I feel. That’s what I’m doing. And in my heart, I’m scared another shoe is gonna drop.
Diane: Kyle, I promise, there are no more secrets. There are no more surprises from my past.
Jack: I know kyle had real reservations about my hiring you to replace him, but I can’t imagine he would purposely try to sabotage you. Least of all, with victor.
