01:40И я думаю, что надо просто в правом случае, правда?
01:44Да, это отличный способ начинать с днем.
01:48Я хочу сделать ясно, что я хочу, чтобы ты чувствуешь, что ты можешь быть очень honest с мое.
01:57Всего, всегда.
01:59Я хочу, чтобы ты считаешь меня по бизнесу, ласточку, ласточку, ласточку, ласточку, ласточку.
02:05А это будет очень тяжело.
02:10Some people are worth it, especially those who practice their C and G courts, so give
02:18it to me straight.
02:20Well, I knew it wasn't going to happen overnight, but it's still just pretty much
02:26a mess over here.
02:56Hey, good morning.
03:14Good morning.
03:15Looks like you have the same idea.
03:17Oh my gosh.
03:18Isn't it so gorgeous?
03:20Spring is my favorite time of the year.
03:23Yeah.
03:24It's definitely something about coming up out of the snow, the colors, the fresh air.
03:28Oh.
03:29Spring fever is real.
03:30Oh my God.
03:31I just hope it works its magic for Amy.
03:33Oh yeah.
03:34How's she doing?
03:35Well, she's just settled into the clinic in Boston.
03:39And I spoke to Nate earlier and he sounded very optimistic.
03:44That's great.
03:46Yeah.
03:47I'm sure you miss Nate.
03:49Oh, definitely.
03:51Well, hopefully Holden doesn't find out that Jermaine's out of town because we wouldn't
03:55want him to get any of the wrong ideas.
03:57Yeah.
03:58What is it with everyone suspecting there's something still going on between Holden and me?
04:03Okay.
04:04It was a joke.
04:05And it sucked.
04:06I'm sorry.
04:07But who actually does think that there's more going on between you and Holden?
04:20Hopefully not Nate.
04:22Nate seems to be the only person who trusts me.
04:25It was Lily.
04:26Yeah.
04:27No matter how hard I try with her, she's always looking for some reason to get a dig in.
04:32And this time around, it was about Holden.
04:36Well, what happened?
04:38Well, Lily and I were talking.
04:43Totally civilized.
04:45For us.
04:46Holden showed up and he was his stupid, charming self.
04:50And after he left, Lily just insisted that I was lying about our relationship and our history.
04:58It was so damn frustrating.
05:00So last thing I needed this morning was you piling on.
05:03Like I said, it was a very, very bad joke and I am sorry.
05:09And just so you know, I do trust you completely.
05:13Thank you.
05:15But are you for real?
05:18Well, the way that Holden acts around you, it's definitely giving...
05:25There was a whole lot more going on between you two vibes.
05:28Way more than your version.
05:30And I'm sure that that is what Lily picked up on.
05:33Well, my version is the truth.
05:35I can't control how that man acts or what he thinks about.
05:39All I can do is keep putting him in his place and hope he gets the message.
05:43Yeah, well, Holden doesn't really seem like someone that gives up easily.
05:46Well, he knows that I'm with Nate and that I'm happy.
05:50And he sure as hell better not try anything.
05:53Look, I just have to say...
05:55No, you don't.
05:57The way that Holden looked at you yesterday,
06:01it was definitely not a man that you just had a casual flame with.
06:05Look, whatever I had with Holden, it's in the past.
06:09And I have no interest revisiting any part of my relationship with him.
06:14Got it.
06:16I just hope one day that you can trust me enough to tell me the truth.
06:20You need to let this go.
06:24I...
06:25I...
06:26I will.
06:30Whatever this is, it's clearly eating at you.
06:37So eventually, you're gonna need to talk about it.
06:39Well, I'm sorry.
06:44You're still feeling so down.
06:46Maybe you should let yourself off the hook.
06:49Hmm.
06:50But I'm so comfortable here.
06:52Well...
06:53It's a process, right?
06:55Grief isn't linear.
06:57There are good days and bad days.
07:01But...
07:02I will say, I already see an improvement.
07:07You do?
07:09Yeah.
07:10If you were to come in here with a smile glued on your face,
07:14saying that you are having a great day,
07:17and that you did see a unicorn jump over a rainbow,
07:20then yeah, I would be concerned.
07:22But you sat down, and you said you felt like crap.
07:26Okay, Debbie Downer, are you sure you wanna be friends?
07:29No, that is a win, my friend.
07:31You're feeling the feels.
07:33You're sharing them.
07:34You're talking about them.
07:36I'm sorry I don't wanna dump it all on you.
07:39Oh, no, no.
07:40None of that.
07:41This is an apology-free zone.
07:43We share what's on our minds,
07:45and that is how we get ahead of it.
07:48Right.
07:49What do they say?
07:50I mean, the only way out of it is to go through it.
07:53Yeah, and you're not alone.
07:55That I am grateful for.
07:57What I'm not so grateful for is how slow my chord learning is going.
08:01Oh.
08:02You've had one lesson.
08:03You're not gonna be John Mayer overnight.
08:05Ooh, John Mayer.
08:06No, no, no.
08:07I was thinking of going for more of a Stevie Vi vibe.
08:11What do you think?
08:12Is that too much to ask?
08:13Okay, two chords, and you wanna jump straight to a triple neck guitar?
08:17Okay, patience is not your strong suit.
08:19Apparently not.
08:20Okay.
08:21Well, that's what we will work on next.
08:24Hmm.
08:25Your patience.
08:26Can't wait.
08:28And we also have to upgrade what passes for humor around here.
08:31Well, I got a million of them.
08:32Ugh, that's what I'm afraid of.
08:35Okay, so my patience or my lack thereof,
08:37what, do you have like some kind of miracle cure for it?
08:40Uh, no.
08:42No, no miracle cure.
08:43Just, uh, if you're ever feeling antsy
08:45and you wanna take ten steps forward,
08:48just, uh, call me and I will be here to help you slow your roll.
08:53To tell you to stop looking past the horizon
08:56and just trust the process.
08:59Process.
09:00Exactly.
09:01Except you do have to say it like you mean it.
09:03Okay.
09:04Well, I think you are going to have your work cut out for you.
09:07I'm ready.
09:08Are you?
09:09Yeah, I am.
09:11Good.
09:12Cause we're going to start working on your negativity.
09:14Ooh, yeah, no, you know, that's kind of like my safe place.
09:20Well, let this be your safe place.
09:23I'll be here to tell you to stop beating yourself up.
09:28Just to think of every day as a step forward.
09:31I'm not sure if you're talking about the guitar
09:34or me getting past my grief or-
09:37I love it.
09:38I love it.
09:41Huh.
09:42Uh-oh.
09:48I'm not gonna join you for breakfast, Phyllis.
09:50I think you'll be glad you did.
09:52Well, the waffles are good, but they're not that good.
09:54Are you okay?
09:55You're funny.
09:56Um, listen, I'm just so excited and I'm brimming with ideas and, uh, and I'm sure that Daniel is excited too.
10:13He's gonna walk through the door any minute.
10:16Okay.
10:17So we've had this conversation and clearly nothing's changed.
10:20Everything's changed.
10:21It's a new dawn.
10:22It's a new day.
10:23And I'm sure that Daniel has had time to think about his decision and I'm sure-
10:30No, I'm- I'm positive that he has come to realize what a great opportunity this is.
10:36I doubt that because Daniel is not interested in joining Abbott Communications.
10:40He clearly wants to do his own thing, something that he's passionate about, and you're not giving him the space to figure out what that is.
10:47Well, I don't think he knows what-
10:49No, listen.
10:50I don't think he knows what it is.
10:51He- he's trying to keep his head above water.
10:54It's not just about Heather's death.
10:57This started in Savannah when he spiraled out.
11:01He lost his family for too long.
11:04I'm- I'm- I'm not gonna let that happen to him again.
11:07Well, Abbott Communications is not a magic answer that's gonna help solve all his issues.
11:12Well, it will be.
11:14You're just not letting this go, are you?
11:17It's my son.
11:26Our conversation yesterday, do you remember how it ended?
11:29If you did not give up on the idea of Daniel joining the company,
11:33then we have to go our separate ways.
11:37But- but-
11:39I- I'm helping my son.
11:41I understand that.
11:42But Abbott Communications is not the answer for him,
11:44and if you somehow convince him or coax him or trick him into coming back,
11:49it's gonna be horrible for him.
11:51He's gonna be miserable, and it's gonna be terrible for the company,
11:54and I can't let that happen.
11:55I- I can't believe that you would insinuate that I'm-
12:00I'm guilting him or coaxing him.
12:04I mean, I- I know- I know it's best for my own son.
12:07I disagree, Phyllis, and I'm sick and tired of having this conversation.
12:12I- I- I- I can't believe that- that you would be opposed to me helping him.
12:17He doesn't want your help.
12:21He's not distancing himself from the job.
12:23He's distancing himself from you, okay?
12:25You care about your son.
12:26I know that.
12:27You say you wanna help him.
12:28You gotta listen to what he wants.
12:30Stop smothering him.
12:33And let him go.
12:34Are you sure you don't have something better to do than teach a sad guy how to play guitar
12:45and try and get his life back together?
12:47I- I love a project.
12:49Especially one that buys me coffee.
12:51Done.
12:52But I am gonna have to warn you.
12:54There's more?
12:55I am what you might call a hard case.
12:58You know, what you might see as negative, I just see as realistic.
13:03Oh.
13:04Always expect the worst.
13:05You'll never be disappointed.
13:07Good times.
13:09Heather tried to get me to change my mindset a bunch of times.
13:13And Lucy, too.
13:14And then, you know, we started on my mother.
13:16But...
13:18How's this for positive?
13:21Um...
13:23I think if anyone can help me find a new angle,
13:27it'll be you.
13:29Well, that is high praise indeed.
13:32I'm up for the challenge.
13:36What if you thought of the guitar as a metaphor for life?
13:42And how do I do that?
13:44Well, every time you learn a new chord,
13:47think of it as a step forward to the life that you're looking to find.
13:51Are you being serious right now?
13:53Because I sometimes have trouble, you know, figuring it out.
13:58Am I starting to sound like Mahatma six string?
14:01I commend you on your effort.
14:04Oh, maybe I should just stick to teaching you the guitar.
14:08No, don't deny me your words of wisdom.
14:12I'm all in, and I'm excited to learn some new chords.
14:16Well, when are you free for another lesson?
14:19I mean, I'm free for the next couple of hours.
14:21Oh, wait, sorry. You said you were getting breakfast with your mom.
14:26Yeah, but you know, I already know what she wants to lecture me about.
14:30So that is a hard yes to another lesson from Mahatma six string.
14:37You know what I'd rather talk about?
14:43Billy and Phyllis.
14:46Any updates?
14:49Well, I did walk in on them yesterday going mano a mano.
14:55Do tell.
14:57Well, Billy told Phyllis that she needs to stop pushing
15:01to have Daniel be a part of Avid Communications,
15:03which Daniel does not want.
15:04Of course, Phyllis was not backing down.
15:07So, Billy gave her a choice.
15:10She can either be a part of Avid Communications on Billy's terms
15:14or not at all.
15:16Billy actually said that?
15:18Mm-hmm. Yeah, he stood his ground.
15:20That's fantastic.
15:22Yeah, I did not hate watching Phyllis stomp off,
15:27but I just kind of wish that he had actually fired her in that moment.
15:31I'm just afraid if she has any room to maneuver that she's gonna convince Phyllis that she's exactly what he needs at Avid Communications.
15:38You know, what's a little chaos when she's so genius?
15:41Well, maybe you should take my advice.
15:43Be proactive. A little push here, a little nudge there. Bye-bye, Phyllis.
15:48I'm just not ready to play dirty.
15:49It's for good reason.
15:51And sometimes that's the best way and the fastest to get things where they need to go.
15:57I know, but Phyllis has been through a lot.
16:01You know, she's dealing with a lot of trauma from the kidnapping and, you know, I feel for what she's going through.
16:07And feeling like this job can actually save her. But, I mean, she's so Phyllis. She's manipulative and she's only out for herself.
16:15And even though Billy is trying to play the good guy and help her, I know she's gonna bring him down.
16:21Avid Communications is gonna be rubble before it even gets started.
16:26No, Billy is so smart. I don't understand why he refuses to see how toxic that woman is.
16:34I'm actually afraid that he does see it, but he's not about to admit that he was wrong to choose Phyllis as his partner.
16:44Can't believe you're telling me to let Daniel go.
16:47I know you, Billy, and you would never do that to either one of your kids if they were suffering.
16:56Phyllis, if my kids came to me and they said I need space to heal, I would like to believe that I would give that to them,
17:01even though I know it would be very difficult to do.
17:04I don't believe you.
17:06You say this is about Daniel, Phyllis, but it's not. It's about you. It's about what you need, what you want.
17:12You're calling me selfish now.
17:13No, actually, I don't think you're being selfish enough.
17:15I think you've been through hell. You've been through a lot and you need time to heal.
17:21Oh, don't do that. Don't do that. Don't be my psychiatrist, please. Don't shrink me. I'm not a lab rat.
17:27Okay, let's not make it about you then. Let's make it about Daniel. He wants freedom to make his own choices.
17:31So now you're saying that you know my son better than I know my son.
17:35No, that's not what I'm saying.
17:36Okay, you're saying I'm a bad mom is what you're saying.
17:38No. I know you love your son and you would do everything for him, but I don't agree with this full-court press that you're pushing on him, okay?
17:45Phyllis, I need all of you. Abbott Communications needs all of you.
17:49You have all of me in Abbott Communications. You do.
17:53No, I don't. Every thought, all your energy goes towards Daniel, okay?
17:55So from an Abbott Communications standpoint, what am I supposed to do with that?
17:58Stop being so obstinate. That's what you do with it.
18:01That's what you do with it.
18:02I am here, Phyllis. I've asked you to give this up. Daniel has asked you to give this up and you refuse to do it. So, I mean, you've left me no choice.
18:14What does that mean?
18:16Phyllis, even with your job on the line, you won't give this up. So, I'm sorry, but this, you're out.
18:24You're firing me? You don't mean that.
18:37Unfortunately, I mean every word. I'm sorry, Phyllis.
18:42What? You can't fire me over one little disagreement. I mean, that would be a colossal mistake.
18:52If you're continuing down this same course of action, that would be a mistake.
18:56You need me.
18:57If I had the 200% that you promised me from the beginning, I'd agree, but I don't have that.
19:02Yes, you do. You have, like, a thousand percent from me.
19:06Phyllis, how many of our meetings?
19:07All right? This is just the beginning.
19:08How many of our meetings have been about the amazing ideas that you promised me, and how many have been about Daniel?
19:13Okay. Listen, that was just a situation that needed to be resolved. Now we are moving forward.
19:20It's been resolved. As far as Daniel's concerned, it's been resolved. As far as I'm concerned, it's been resolved.
19:25But you're not seeing the truth, and that is an issue for Abbott Communications.
19:29You can't fire me. You can't.
19:31Trust me. It's the last thing that I want to do.
19:33You can't fire me. Please. Billy, you saved my life. You pulled me out of that horrible place.
19:45Yeah. This, this company is saving my life. Okay? Please, please don't take it away from me. Please don't.
19:59Phyllis, you've been through hell. I know that. And there are some issues that need to be...
20:11You need to take some time. Okay? And I know you're gonna come back stronger, better than you ever were, and we can revisit this partnership down the road.
20:20Okay? I don't need to take time. Okay? Building this company with you, that, that's what I need. Okay? That will make me stronger. Please. Please.
20:36Phyllis, I know you're amazing. Okay? You really are, but the timing's not right.
20:40No. Give me another chance. Sorry.
20:42Just give me another chance, and I'll prove to you how amazing I am.
20:45I know you're amazing, but it's not gonna happen. I'm sorry.
20:54Billy trusts your opinion. Look, I'm sure you can convince him that Phyllis is the absolute wrong choice.
21:00There are plenty of other people he can find to build a company with.
21:08Well, he did kind of offer me the position.
21:14He did?
21:16Oh my god, you're brilliant, and it's perfect.
21:20It gets rid of Phyllis, and it gives you a major position in a brand new company with massive potential.
21:27I will admit it was tempting for a second.
21:32But I love Marchetti.
21:34I've tried other things. Newman Media, Interior Design.
21:37I love fashion.
21:39But it doesn't mean you can't learn to love something new.
21:43Just think about the power, the perks.
21:47How can you say no?
21:57Hey, you.
21:59Hey.
22:00I'm waiting for you. Is everything okay?
22:02Yeah, everything's fine. Just, you know, something kind of came up.
22:07Um, I don't know if I'm gonna be able to make it. Can we reschedule?
22:11No, you're just trying to avoid me because you know what I want to talk about.
22:15Yeah. You know, that might have something to do with it.
22:19It's kind of hard for me to enjoy pancakes when I'm having Abbott Communications stuff down my throat.
22:26I'm not gonna do that, I swear. I won't do that.
22:29Just, just get here and we'll talk about it.
22:31There's nothing for us to talk about.
22:34I am not gonna work at Abbott Communications. That is my final decision.
22:38And I just, I don't know what it's gonna take for you to accept it.
22:46You want me to accept your decision? Okay.
22:49Fine. Come here. Let me look in your eyes.
22:52If you're happy and at peace, I'll be able to see it in your eyes.
22:57But if you're not happy and there's no peace, then...
23:02It kills me, Daniel, to see you in so much pain. I cannot walk away from that.
23:13Give me some space to figure this out on my own.
23:17I will get there, I promise. There's no clock on it, but I will get there.
23:23You just, I need you to trust that.
23:25Okay, so what are you gonna do? How are you gonna figure this out? You tell me.
23:28I'm working with someone. It feels right. You know, it feels like it might be exactly what I need to find some answers.
23:39Who is this someone?
23:41Just a friend, you know, who gets where my head's at.
23:44And I don't get where your head is at?
23:47You say you want to help? Focus on you. Focus on getting Abbott Communications off the ground.
23:56Well, that's gonna be difficult because...
23:59Billy just fired me.
24:04What? Why?
24:06Because he's a jerk.
24:07Is this because you were pushing to bring me back on?
24:10I don't know. He doesn't understand.
24:13Okay, this is the last thing I wanted to happen.
24:16Um, I'm gonna talk to him.
24:18No, please don't.
24:20Yeah, I'm gonna get him to reconsider.
24:22I don't want him to reconsider.
24:24I want you to reconsider.
24:26Okay, please, Mom. For the last time, stop.
24:29Just be happy that I have a plan and I'm gonna figure this out, okay?
24:34Daniel.
24:36Love you.
24:38Is everything okay?
24:47Billy just fired my mom.
24:49Wait, why?
24:51I don't know.
24:53You know, she gets her mind on something that can be hard to shake it loose.
24:57She wouldn't say that it was because of me, but...
25:00I have a feeling it's because she was pushing him hard to hire me, so he fired her.
25:05That's horrible.
25:07Yeah.
25:10Rain check?
25:11Oh, oh my gosh, absolutely.
25:13We can do it another time.
25:15Thank you.
25:16Hey, don't lose faith, all right?
25:18Everything's gonna work out the way it should.
25:20Trust Mahatma six-string.
25:22I do.
25:24More than just about anyone else right now.
25:35Oh!
25:36Oh my gosh!
25:37You're hot!
25:38I can't believe it!
25:39Oh, yay!
25:40Were you happy running Newman Media with Adam?
25:41I mean, until it blew up?
25:42Yeah, I enjoyed it.
25:43There you go.
25:44This is not the same.
25:45Well, you'd be working with Billy, so that's a perk.
25:48Yeah, that is what I thought about working with Adam and look what happened.
25:50Turns out running a company with your significant other is not without its complications.
25:51And I mean, what if the pressure of starting a company is just too much?
25:52And it blows us up.
25:53What if it doesn't?
25:54You have to admit it's a risk.
25:55Everything is a risk.
25:56Everything is a risk.
25:57Everything is a risk.
25:58Everything is a risk.
25:59Everything is a risk.
26:00Everything is a risk.
26:01I mean, until it blew up.
26:02Yeah, I enjoyed it.
26:03I enjoyed it.
26:04There you go.
26:05This is not the same.
26:06You have to admit it's a risk.
26:07Everything is a risk.
26:08Okay.
26:09Here's another perk.
26:10You leave Marchetti, you won't have to run into Chelsea all the time.
26:13And that can't be easy, given your history.
26:15You're making it work.
26:16A liar.
26:17Okay, it's awkward, but you know, we're dealing with it.
26:18Why are you being so difficult?
26:19Because this is a huge decision.
26:20You have to admit it's a risk.
26:21Everything is a risk.
26:22Okay, here's another perk.
26:24You leave Marchetti, you won't have to run into Chelsea all the time.
26:29And that can't be easy, given your history.
26:32You're making it work.
26:34A liar!
26:35Okay, it's awkward, but you know, we're dealing with it.
26:40Why are you being so difficult?
26:42Because this is a huge decision.
26:45And you are insanely qualified.
26:51I mean, think about it.
26:54All the fun we can have.
26:56We?
26:57I'm starting my own cosmetics company.
27:02You'll be building Avid Communications.
27:05I mean, to create something new.
27:07Okay, what can be more exciting, rewarding than that?
27:11We can support each other, compare notes.
27:14How can you say no?
27:16I mean, there's a lot of moving parts.
27:18And I think you'd be amazing at all of that.
27:22Who knows, if you don't take Billy up on his offer, I might have to poach you to come work with me.
27:29Okay, please don't make me choose between my two favorite people.
27:32Well, we both know I have the edge.
27:34Well, we both know I have the edge.
27:39Billy, what's wrong with you, man?
27:56Why would you fire my mother because of me?
27:58I can't believe you have to think about this.
28:04I mean, I really do love where I'm at.
28:08I love what I do.
28:10Working with Chloe is the best.
28:12We've hit a stride, and it feels really good.
28:15Okay, what about all those deadlines that make you crazy?
28:18You know, this season, that season, the other season, and then you have to do it all over again.
28:22Yeah, it's a bit of a grind.
28:25There you go.
28:26That is not a reason to leave a job that I love.
28:29Making this move doesn't mean you have to give up fashion.
28:33Didn't you have a fashion byline when you were at Newman Media?
28:37I did.
28:39So you can create a fashion platform at Avid Communications.
28:44You're going to be the boss, so you can do whatever you want.
28:48I mean, how can you not be excited by that kind of freedom?
28:51You're really good at this.
28:55Well, I hope it's working.
28:57Because I see you totally killing it.
29:00And don't forget the biggest perk.
29:02With you as Billy's right hand, Phyllis will be gone for good.
29:11You need to calm down.
29:13Okay.
29:14Don't.
29:15Don't do that.
29:16Don't tell me to calm down, because I'm very calm right now, Billy.
29:18I'm coming here, and I'm talking to you.
29:20You know how much this job means to her.
29:23Why would you fire her after everything she's been through?
29:26You're just going to pile that on top of it all?
29:29A decision needed to be made, Daniel.
29:31Listen.
29:32I'm the one who agreed to take the job, and then I'm the one who backed out.
29:36That's not her. That's not her fault.
29:38She shouldn't be punished for me.
29:39And I appreciate your courage to make a decision for yourself, and I appreciate you standing up for your mother.
29:45This is a complex situation.
29:48Situation. Right. Okay.
29:50So she pushed a little hard. I get that. That's what she does, right? That's why we love her. She sees something she believes in, and she goes for it. That's why you partnered with her. You can't just bail on her the first time there's a conflict.
30:03Yeah, she didn't give me a choice, okay? I had to make a decision.
30:06Okay, so you're upset. I get that too, okay? But you can't fire her over a misunderstanding. Or rather an extremely misguided attempt to help her son. How's that? Is that better?
30:18Let me be clear, okay? I didn't make this decision because I'm angry. I appreciate her devotion to her son. But I can't trust that she's gonna let this go. Even though I've asked her. You insisted on it. So where does that leave Abby Communications, okay? I can't move forward in this situation.
30:37I'll talk to her.
30:38You've talked to her already.
30:39I'll talk to her again.
30:41Billy, don't do this. Just give her another chance.
30:45Come on, man. Don't tell me you don't see the truth here because I know you do. I know she keeps pretending like this is all about me. This isn't about me. This is about her. This is what she needs. She's counting on this to get her life back.
31:00I can't believe you're a hug. Why didn't you text me or call me?
31:05Well, because I wanted to surprise you and see that look on your gorgeous face.
31:10Well, this face and the rest of me missed you so much. Well, how was your trip?
31:14Tell me everything.
31:15And bore you? I mean, how many times a day did I text you? It was basically back-to-back meetings. Not a lot of fun.
31:22Well, I'm sure Sharon is grateful that you were covering everything on the Cassidy first front.
31:28And the picture she's been sending. Her and Nick look like they're having the best time with the kids in London.
31:33I know. I know she looks so happy and relaxed. I haven't seen her smile like that in a long time.
31:40Well, you know who's gonna be really grateful and happy to see you is Arya.
31:46I know. It was my first stop after my plane landed. I couldn't wait to get home and I just give her the biggest hug like the world was ending.
31:54You too.
31:55You too.
31:56Oh.
31:57Uh, Arya? Is everything okay?
32:01I, I just missed you so much.
32:15I, yeah, I, I missed you too. I mean, do you wanna have coffee or, and breakfast and just sit down and catch up?
32:21You know, we're gonna have tons of time for that, but I actually have to get to Cassidy first.
32:26I have to get the staff up to date on the trip and then I have to call my mom and do a video call with her and get her up to speed.
32:35I just, I really wanted to see you and Arya first.
32:39Well, I'm, I'm glad you did.
32:41Yeah, me too.
32:45I don't know.
32:46Ugh.
32:52You can't just give up on her.
32:55That's not what I'm doing.
32:58Then give her her job back.
33:01I'm sorry, that's not gonna happen.
33:04You know, you saved her life at the clinic with Sharon and now you're just gonna walk away from her?
33:08I'm not walking away from her, Daniel.
33:11I'm doing what's right for my company.
33:14Really?
33:15I hope you can see I'm doing what's best for your mother too.
33:18That's a little hard to see.
33:19Daniel, she's been through hell.
33:22You know that.
33:23There's some things that she needs to process.
33:26She's not ready to take on this role.
33:28She needs more time, less stress.
33:30You were all in on her before.
33:31I know I was.
33:32And now I see chinks in the armor.
33:33You know that thing that she puts up to protect herself from the world, Daniel?
33:37I'm concerned about her.
33:38She has been a little intense lately.
33:41More so than me.
33:43But that's because of me.
33:45You know, once she sees that I'm headed in the right direction, she's gonna pour her heart and her soul into the company.
33:50You could not ask for a better second in command.
33:54You couldn't ask for someone that's more driven than she is.
33:56And whether you like it or not, this commitment that she's shown to me recently, that should just prove how committed she's gonna be to Abbott Communications.
34:03Do not do this, Billy.
34:05I'm sorry.
34:06Okay?
34:07My decision is final.
34:10Wow.
34:12That's...
34:13That's just cold.
34:15Well, trust me, no one's sorrier than I am.
34:18Then change your mind.
34:21Let me be very clear with you, okay?
34:22I'm not making this decision because I'm upset.
34:26I truly respect the fact that she's fighting for you.
34:30She loves her son.
34:31And she believes she knows what's best for you.
34:36Even though she doesn't.
34:40You sure you're okay?
34:44Yeah, I'm just...
34:46I'm just glad to be home.
34:48Well, if you wanna talk to...
34:49No, no.
34:50I'm good.
34:51Really, I am.
34:52Uh, but I am...
34:53I'm already late for the office, so...
34:56I'm gonna go, but I will see you at home in a few hours.
34:59Okay.
35:00I love you.
35:01Love you.
35:12Hey.
35:13Hi.
35:14Hey, that, um...
35:16That's Daniel's jacket.
35:17Is he here?
35:19Uh, no.
35:20He went to see you.
35:22He went...
35:23He went to see me?
35:25Wait.
35:26Was he here when I talked to him?
35:30Are...
35:31Are you...
35:33The person who understands where his head is at?
35:36Is that you?
35:37Uh, yeah.
35:38I am.
35:40Oh, it's you.
35:42Oh.
35:44Oh.
35:45Oh, good.
35:46Good.
35:47Yes, yes.
35:48Oh, please.
35:49Please...
35:51Tell me that you're gonna help me save my son.
35:53I know your mother.
35:59You're gonna appreciate you going to bat for her.
36:03But I'm not changing my mind.
36:05You're making a mistake.
36:10I don't think I am.
36:14I wish you all the best, Daniel.
36:15I do.
36:16So that's it.
36:17Everything you said about your mother is 100% correct, okay?
36:22She is a fighter.
36:24And I know she's gonna come back from this stronger, better than she's ever been.
36:28And I'm sure in a year from now, I'm gonna beg her to come back.
36:31So it's your loss.
36:32It's good.
36:33I'm sure that'll make her feel much better about it.
36:38I'll see you around.
36:39Oh, good.
36:46Hi.
36:47Hi.
36:48I found you.
36:50Okay.
36:52So, I...
36:54I've been doing some soul searching.
36:56That's great.
36:59Is everything okay?
37:01Yeah.
37:03Everything's fine.
37:04I'm sorry.
37:05I'm sorry.
37:06What were you saying?
37:07You were doing some soul searching?
37:08No, no, no, it's fine.
37:09Maybe now it's not a good time.
37:10No, no, no.
37:11Now's the perfect time.
37:13So tell me, what, uh...
37:15What are you searching in that soul of yours?
37:18You.
37:20Me.
37:23And Abbott Communications.
37:38You.
37:39Why...
37:40Maybe...
37:53Maybe.
37:54Maybe.
37:56Phase 1.
37:57Maybe.
37:58No, no.
37:59No, no, no.
