00:00hey got a minute yeah i'm glad you dropped by there was something i wanted to discuss with you
00:15before we get to that i just wanted to fill you in on something
00:21i made a decision about phyllis and she's out probably for the best i'm sure that's
00:29it wasn't easy though no it wasn't she took it pretty hard are you feeling about it it had to be
00:36done no with everything that she's been through with her family she didn't have the the bandwidth
00:43to focus on the company not not the way i needed her to and that wasn't a risk that i was willing
00:48to take i think you made the right decision i'm comfortable with it so did you drop by to pick
00:53my brain on a possible successor actually i've already found a replacement
01:00sally spectra not to be harsh isn't that replacing one potential problem with another
01:09i can't wait to get started but i guess this means i have to clean out my office at marchetti
01:21well i mean you're not having doubts about the two of us working together still
01:24no no it's not that you just feel guilty you know leaving summer alone at marchetti
01:30well she did give you her blessing she did and that was very generous of her and it's not your
01:35fault that billy offered sally a position as a new company you gotta admit the timing of that is
01:40pretty ironic both sally and i leaving the company to go work for competitors well abby communication
01:46hardly exists so i wouldn't really call them a competitor okay well i think billy would disagree
01:52with you billy has an overinflated opinion of his own importance among his many other charms
01:59okay we're gonna wipe the floor with them and that makes me nervous why would that make you nervous
02:06because i don't want this to get ugly adam and giving the history the years of animosity between
02:14you and billy it's starting to sound like it already is
02:30so
02:44well good morning oh morning do you mind if i join you no go ahead
03:06how uh how's amy doing well i spoke with her earlier this morning and she's finishing up the
03:15latest round of treatment then she's home for the next few days before coming back to start the next
03:21one okay what does doctor say they're optimistic yeah they think this actually gives her a fighting
03:29chance of beating which is far more than she ever expected wow that's great well you seem relieved
03:37i am i am thanks for noticing of course oh i also have some other news for you if you're interested
03:47okay as promised i sent word to aristotle dumas to try and arrange a meeting with you and
03:56well he didn't say no so he didn't say yes either i mean you can't blame the man for being cautious
04:02he wants to know why you want to meet and what exactly you're after well you can tell him i want
04:10to know what he's after and if it's my family company then he can tell me that to my face instead
04:15of hiding behind you i hate to disappoint you lily but i don't think that dumas will be showing any
04:27cars during the first meeting or any meeting for that matter i'm not expecting him to i just want him
04:34to know that i plan on protecting my company no matter what aggressive moves he plans on making
04:40well you can do that if you want okay but remember this is a guy who's made a career
04:46i'd have been impossible to read no matter how assertive you try to be he may be one of the few
04:53men unsusceptible to your charms i think i can deal with that
05:00how what you have some sort of plan in mind i just want him to know that i'm a formidable opponent
05:10as are devon and nate i mean we haven't gotten this far by being pushovers
05:16okay so you just want to what plant the flag i just think it's best to be direct
05:23but what if you're wrong wrong about what about dumas and his intentions look lily you sound 100
05:33sure that dumas coming after you but i haven't heard anything about that and so far you haven't
05:40given me any concrete evidence to suggest that your company is even on his radar so what if all this
05:47effort is for nothing your instincts aren't wrong i mean i'm sitting here with billy's ex
06:00he's working with mine we both have media companies you mix in all the other bad
06:06blood that billy and i have shared over the years and it's not that hard to do the math
06:10so yeah things could get volatile and that's what i'm afraid of it's a business chelsea beating the
06:19competition is how you keep score okay billy could have chosen to go in any direction he wanted to
06:25but he went to media and it just so happens that's where we live too what are we supposed to do
06:34i i just want things to stay civilized that's all so do i but i think as much as we would
06:39like to believe that billy and sally have moved on from what happened between us and baltimore i don't
06:45get the sense they completely have and you don't think that was justified look i know that you still
06:54feel bad for the pain that you caused billy and so do i with sally but i refuse to apologize for where
07:03it's gotten us our families back together again we're working as a team i mean the kind of team
07:12that we always knew we could be now i hate that it happened the way that it did but i will never
07:19regret where we are am i just naive for thinking there could be more than one media company in this town
07:26there could be plenty okay but there's only gonna be one that's on top you know billy says he wants
07:36avid communications to be the opposite of newman media well i won't hold my breath he seemed pretty
07:44adamant about it no what he's adamant about is sticking it to me for using newman media as a family
07:49battering ram for going after our opponents okay as if he was going to use avid communications for what
07:56to do good what a joke you sound so cynical for what for calling billy out for being a hypocrite i just
08:04i could do that any day of the week does everything have to be so cutthroat with you
08:10is the idea of doing good completely off the table because if it is
08:17we have a problem
08:21why would you have a problem with sally joining me at avid communications i thought you
08:24approved of our relationship i am talking professionally sally's been successful
08:28everywhere she's been yes and who chosen field in fashion not media she worked at newman media
08:34in fact she ran the place for a short time and newman media was an up and running successful
08:39company at the time not a startup is this maybe your knee-jerk reaction to phyllis not working out no
08:46not at all i trust sally and i am confident that she's going to be able to adapt with the growing
08:52business and she supports my vision tell me something would sally be strong enough to tell
08:57you no when the moment required it we know phyllis would be those isn't going to be there jack that's
09:03part of the problem right look i had to make a pretty quick pivot here and i believe sally's
09:08the right fit i'm confident with my decision okay you don't seem convinced i'm not convinced
09:17but i've told you all along this company is your baby you make the decisions my job
09:23is to tell you what i think and i think this is a big risk
09:27kind of like you and diane here's your bow what does that have to do with anything jack i mean look
09:33when diane joined you here as a bow there were people that didn't think this was the right fit
09:38right i was one of them i didn't think she had the experience for this chosen field so why don't
09:43you tell me what's the difference between you and diane and sally joining me at avid communications
09:51a big part of the allure in me joining you here is to do good finding ways to unite and help people with
09:59important accurate information not tear them down and i'm all for doing good i just i don't think
10:09billy's capable of taking the high road gels it's not his nature so you were ready to go to battle
10:17a hundred percent
10:21it's just adam it feels like you're relishing in this i just
10:25you know there really is no way for me to continue this conversation without saying
10:31something that you're going to interpret no trashing billy i want you to be able to speak freely
10:36yes i know billy is a very sensitive subject for you you can say anything to me as long as you're
10:42honest and forthcoming yes i know look i think the best plan moving forward is we just forget there's
10:49any such thing as avid communications and we just we concentrate on what newman media does
10:55that's fair i like that but just to confirm
11:01newman media is not being used as a tool by your family right of course not okay so you can guarantee
11:11me right here right now newman media is dedicated to being a positive force with
11:16no access to grind no going after our enemies well looks like chelsea's keeping in your toes
11:26you're mad aren't you no i'm not mad you made a fair point no one believed that diane
11:32could handle a leadership role here at jabot she has proved them wrong she is thriving
11:38sally will do the same i am not questioning sally's intelligence or her ability to learn this business
11:44on the fly she is a bright woman she is ambitious but what happens when inevitably you have to bring
11:51this work home we handle it we handle it the way we do now the way you and diane do what you and sally
11:59have is pretty new what diane and i have we have years of history both good and bad and learning how to
12:06navigate a relationship that turns to 24 7. you guys are just starting out this could put a lot of
12:14pressure on things both in and out of the office you ask me if sally is comfortable challenging me
12:20she is trust me i mean it's part of the reason i fell for her in the first place she called me on
12:26things when i was going through my breakup with chelsea the sabotage of chancellor i know she was a real
12:33comfort to you during a rough time she was but it wasn't just that she wasn't just bolstering me she
12:39she pointed out my blind spots and she's been doing it since day one at abby communications in
12:45fact she pointed out the red flags with phyllis and daniel as well sally doesn't just rubber stamp
12:52every crazy thing that comes out of my mouth okay and let's be honest there's some crazy things that
12:56come out of my mouth she holds me accountable which is why i'm confident in bringing her on board at
13:02abby communications i can't argue with that why does it feel like we're arguing we're not
13:10i made a comment about you bringing her on board you countered with a perfectly logical explanation
13:16so we moved past it okay because it felt maybe a minute ago that there was tension
13:22or whatever we want to call it are you upset with what i said to diane about
13:26the family home renovation wait do you really think i'm that petty
13:35okay you're right i have no concrete proof that juma is coming after winters except for victor's warning
13:43victor a man who dispenses disinformation at a drop of a hat and has been known to bend the truth
13:51to suit his own purposes i already know all that yeah and i take it to the bank that he's just blowing
13:57smoke why would he do that what reason does he have to lie about this i don't know but i heard that
14:06he sure as hell hung you out to dry the last time you dealt with it yeah that's right that's why he owes
14:12me now owes you yeah victor and my dad were very very close they had a lot of respect and admiration
14:21for each other i mean my dad was really the only other businessman that victor saw as his equal
14:27and i know that he feels badly for what he did now he wants to repay that debt okay so you believe
14:33his warning that dumas is a threat yes and all the other rumors i've heard that dumas is trying to
14:40expand his empire oh that could mean a dozen other companies that aren't yours i am aware of that but
14:46it could also mean our company i mean listen sometimes just the rumor of a takeover can weaken a
14:54company so is that dumas strategy i have no idea you're telling me you work for the man and you've heard
15:02no grumblings yes lily that's what i'm saying okay what more do i have to do to prove to you that
15:09i'm not your enemy look i'll admit that you know i view you as less of a threat with each passing day
15:18wow i'm not sure to take that as a compliment or as an insult what i'm trying to say is that
15:26i believe that you don't know what dumas planning okay but it doesn't mean that he can't use you
15:33i'm not that gullible okay sure i work for the guy but i'm not his lap dog you know
15:43maybe that's the issue it's that you work for him i mean maybe it would really help to trust you if
15:49you didn't okay wait are you asking me are you asking me to quit my job yeah
16:03petty jack i was honest with dan about how i felt and obviously she told yeah it's what i wanted to
16:08discuss with you when you dropped by i figured as much but it has nothing to do with you bringing sally
16:14on board at abbott communications then i apologize for bringing that up and i'm sorry if i insulted
16:18you i'm also sorry if i insulted diana no you didn't insult her you gave her your opinion she asked
16:25for it i just don't happen to agree with your opinion so we can agree to disagree i am wondering
16:31what is it you don't like about the place you sure you want to go there yeah what set you off so badly
16:38well it wasn't just one thing
16:48it was a feeling as soon as i walked in i felt like i was missing dad i don't know how you can say
16:56that dad he's on the walls he's his stuff is there his his artwork his books not that it's it's different
17:05than that okay i i guess i can't change the way you feel look i think maybe it was different for you
17:12and and ashley and tracy right because you grew up there i mean you have those memories of him chasing
17:18around the living room and i don't i don't have any of that you know i was there for such a short amount
17:25of time that the house the things the feeling of it that's that was my connection to death the
17:38connection is gone and look this is going to sound a little bit silly but every time i walked through
17:43that front door no matter what was going on in the world or in in my world i felt it peace there
17:50that home everything in it that's where my family was
18:00dad's obviously gone and
18:05i don't have much of a relationship with
18:10my mother so
18:11all of it was in the house and i'm missing it
18:22i didn't know that's how you felt and i'm sorry no that's okay i was surprised by the way i reacted as
18:31well
18:35and i gotta be honest my next thought was
18:39jack can't possibly be on board with all this right i mean it doesn't even feel like our family
18:44home anymore am i right about that you're just keeping the peace with diane trying to
18:52agree to be agreeable
18:54you actually expect me to quit my job to prove myself why not you don't really own the businesses
19:06you're just a figurehead with a salary key word salary okay and a pretty healthy one too yeah i'm
19:13sure dumas compensates all of his minions adequately okay i mean if that's all that you really want out
19:20of life willie are you trying to insult me no i'm just telling you to ask yourself what are you really
19:27giving up here okay i mean what does the future hold if you end up getting on the wrong side of your
19:34mysterious boss look you don't get on his wrong side okay that's how you protect your future
19:43okay i don't know i just really thought that you had more ambition than that
19:47okay i'll play along what would i do after i walked away from you ma
19:56what live off my good intentions well i think it's very clear that you're smart
20:02you being sarcastic now no i just think that there's other areas you could put your talents to use
20:08you know instead of just being someone's lackey
20:11such as well i'm sure i could find something lucrative and worthwhile at winters for you
20:21you know until you figure out your next move or i mean it could even be your next move if it all
20:26worked out and you would do all of that just for me yeah of course i would why
20:34what kind of question is that okay lily look we've been dancing around this trust issue thing for
20:41a while all right and now suddenly you're offering to open up your company invite me inside
20:51why does the phrase keep your enemies close suddenly pop into my head
20:57i hope you're not here to check up on us already no i'm not doing that not at all i'm here to welcome
21:09chelsea to newman media and i'm very happy to see the two of you work together thank you yes we were
21:17just talking about that actually oh yeah yeah how a media company has a responsibility to inform
21:23enrich and entertain and not solely be used as a weapon against her enemies interesting if you
21:30don't mind i like a word alone with adam of course but i won't keep him long oh take as long as you
21:37want i'm gonna go check out my new office again i will see you later and uh victor thanks again for
21:47everything i feel very lucky chelsea we are very lucky to have you yeah thank you
21:53i think this guy would require some diplomacy on your part you know damn well we're gonna use
22:14global media to go after our enemies yeah i'm aware of that there's one on the horizon
22:23so has dumas made any specific moves against chancellor no but he's been sniffing around
22:45and i want to stay a step ahead of him okay well then what is the strategy the strategy is to flood the
22:53platform public media with news about how strong chancellor industries is especially under nikki's
23:01leadership in comparison with the disastrous leadership under billy abbott do we really need to
23:08bring billy into this yeah we have to why i mean he's nothing more than all bad news at this point i agree
23:14with you but for some inexplicable reason aristotle demar wants to meet with billy abbott
23:23he wants to meet with billy from what i have no idea demar's interest in chancellor is one thing
23:31now he's wanting to meet with billy abbott it's another so it's not too difficult to make a
23:37connection even with that connection it seems pretty absurd that a powerful guy like dumas would want
23:44anything to do with an idiot like billy abbott and that's exactly what i want to be put into the coverage
23:55no i didn't lie to diane when i told her i love what she'd done with the place i meant every word
24:00of it okay good just thought i'd ask i think dad would love it too i'm not saying you should feel the
24:07same way i don't know it just felt different more sad than different
24:18miss the smell the old place ah yes oh the musty tapestries diane would say
24:25you joke but i do now it smells like new paint
24:29look again i i didn't expect to react the way i did in fact i encouraged diane to do it in the
24:37first place i remember as soon as i walked in it all just hit me again you know the sense memory in it
24:44felt like i lost them all over again i'm not going to pretend i didn't feel that way
24:49when diane first suggested fixing up the place she had to drag me kicking and screaming i worried about
24:57the very things you're talking about now oh i remember because it isn't just a house
25:04isn't just a bunch of memories it's about legacy belonging
25:14loyalty all these things it's not easy to explain i need to nail down but i can tell you
25:25the very moment my attitude changed when was that when diane in some frustration told me jack
25:36your father is not in this house he's in there
25:43he travels with all of us
25:45and the room gets a new paint job the furniture gets it gets recovered but one thing that doesn't
25:57change that can't change is what's in here we all know wherever we go in this world
26:08that is with us we are home he is always with us
26:21you're right
26:23you're both right
26:26and i'll get there
26:27i am sorry i didn't know that's how you felt about the place i would never dismiss
26:37your feelings for the family home
26:40maybe we should have bottled up some of that dusty tapestry smell huh
26:45i knew cologne for jabot classics
26:49i'm sorry if i offended diane i didn't mean to
26:52no i told you you needed some time to adjust she understood that
26:56thank you i'll make sure to apologize next time i see her
27:03well um there is something else i wanted to let you know about i uh plan on doing a press
27:09release party for the launch of avid communications hope you can come it's an exciting time
27:17i think it's a good time to announce sally specter joining the company as well
27:21i hope you know i want you to succeed in this company more than anything in the world
27:28and if you tell me the way to succeed is to have sally working by your side i won't question that again
27:37i appreciate that
27:38i do have one question have you heard anything more from the mysterious aristotle dumas
27:51i don't see you as an enemy damien okay i'm not trying to lure you into my clutches
27:55to keep a closer eye on you yeah but you can understand the question yeah i can but that's not my intention
28:02look you're nate's brother okay which in turn makes you in a way like family and winters is a family
28:10company so what better way to prove my loyalty than to join the family farm right look you have
28:18already implied that you don't trust your mom so why not make a clean break yeah but if i did that
28:25you'd lose any access to tomorrow okay because well i'm the only connection that you have honestly it's
28:34fine i can find out what i need a different way huh so you do have a plan i'm just being resourceful
28:45and i mean it's not like your attempts to connect me with him are going anywhere
28:48lily look these things take time i'm saying that you can just scrap all that okay and you can prove
28:58once and for all to me and to devon that you're sincere that you have no sketchy connection to the
29:05mom so what do you say are you ready to make a move
29:10well it's not the worst idea i've ever heard well there's a rainy endorsement no i mean it i like
29:25that winters deals mostly in the entertainment industry and i did my research on winters thoroughly and
29:32there would be some obvious fits for me there okay so you would seriously consider making a move
29:42maybe before the right spot
29:47look to be honest there are more headaches and problems dealing with those do my companies in la
29:52than there are benefits you mean besides the paycheck the paycheck is important
29:58but look i would need to know exactly what winters is willing to offer okay and it would have to be
30:05pretty spectacular well i'm sure we could work something out
30:12just like that yeah why not i mean if it's what everybody wants you know including you
30:18okay what what what is what is it now i'm still a little amazed that you're hitting me with all of
30:29this based on nothing more than a hunch that i'd be ready to make a move well i just took a chance
30:38yeah but i'll be taking an even bigger one because the thing is lily i can't help but remember my first
30:45encounter with the winters clan when they offered me a bogus job as a ploy to meet with my mother
30:53so what are you thinking this is just another ploy the thought has crossed my mind yeah
30:59well you know what forget it just keep doing what you're doing and we'll call it a day
31:08we're supposed to have a meeting with dumas but his office keeps pushing the date maybe they're
31:13just stringing you along not sure why they would do that they reached out to connect with me
31:19yeah by dangling the carrot of getting chancellor back i think you know i have serious misgivings
31:26about you pursuing that yes yes you've been very clear about start another argument with you but i
31:31think you heard me when i said somebody like dumas does not hand anything to anyone without serious
31:38strings attached i don't see the harm in taking a meeting i don't want abbott communications to be
31:44hurt jack come on don't you have a full enough plate here i thought this new media company was to replace
31:51chancellor's why i backed you in the first place jack i'm gonna take a meeting sit down he already has to
31:57say i don't want abbott communications to take a back seat to another one of your pipe dreams billy i'm
32:03sorry i'm the one saying it but you dropping everything to follow a long shot has a certain
32:10pattern in your life what do i have to do to prove to you that abbott communications is my priority
32:19as far as chancellor the only opportunity there is nikki and victor getting a little taste of their
32:26own medicine believe me i have no problem with victor getting his due oh i'm sorry but what about mickey
32:32i don't think they're in the same category what how can you even say that i mean i get it nikki's a
32:36friend of yours but she was right along with victor and my mother cutting me off at my knees
32:41she had her eye on the prize just like victor did but of course you give her a pass
32:50is that a problem
32:53no i don't have an issue showcasing billy's incompetence to anybody it's just
33:01chelsea's not gonna like this not one bit yeah well i gathered as much
33:09after her comment about new media being a positive force but there's nothing inherently wrong with
33:14that is there of course there is okay we'll always strive for that just not when it comes to billy
33:22billy abbott needs to be taught a lesson not that he has ever learned from that in the past
33:27you know this could be a deal breaker for chelsea if chelsea doesn't want to go along with this then
33:34you're gonna have to rethink about letting her join you in new media
33:39that will not be necessary i'll handle chelsea good
33:48billy abbott needs to be crushed for several reasons okay trust me in that
33:55whoa okay don't don't get so defensive i'm not defensive i just don't want to waste our time
34:07if you're not interested look i didn't say i wasn't still interested okay i was just you know doing a
34:13little thinking out loud okay well no need to be paranoid i have no agenda here all right i'm just
34:19trying to see how far you'll go to prove that you can be trusted what what is so funny getting me to
34:28prove i'm loyal is an agenda billy and the test that you're suggesting it's a pretty big one if you
34:36ask me not if you're as trustworthy as you say you are they trust me and so does my mom
34:44so why should i care if you and divine trust me i mean what's really in it for me other than some
34:51maybe job because you want me to trust you damien very badly and you can pretend that you don't
34:59but i think we both know that's true and why is that
35:04because you're attracted to me and you want to see where this could go am i yes so is that what's
35:14really driving this for you lily would you also want to see where this could go
35:20i will get back to you with an offer
35:32so
35:41so do i even want to know what you discussed with victor uh it wasn't really anything
35:51yeah

36:48okay nikki may have benefited from you losing chance come on jack may have benefited she's
36:54running the place okay she's not an innocent bystander i still blame victor for how things fell out
37:00i don't see any difference there at all i know that you're friends with nikki but she was right
37:05there alongside with victor okay everything she did was just as selfish just as manipulative
37:10as victor and what about jill oh trust me i'm not happy with my mom either okay she cut me loose
37:15without a warning but she was manipulated by victor how are you not infuriated with what nikki did i

37:28costs me sometimes you have to let go billy for me letting go of the past with the house for you
37:36letting go of chancellor the promise of revenge is not worth getting sucked in to another battle with

37:48away from a fight with victor why should i
