Neil: And meanwhile, the independent auditors are preparing to review our books.

Kay: Oh, I'm glad you brought that up. I have someone who I think would be of great help to the prep team.

Neil: Really?

Kay: Mm-hmm.

Neil: Anyone I know?

Kay: Send him in. (Laughs)

Kevin: Hi.

Kay: Oh, oh, I hope we didn't keep you waiting.

Kevin: No, no, no. Not at all. Hello, Neil.

Neil: Katherine, could I have a moment of your time?

Kay: Uh, later. Um, I need to bring my friend here up to speed, okay? Um, Kevin, I know, um, your start date wasn't for another week, but I have a project that I want you to oversee, and time is of the essence.

Kevin: Tell me what I need to know.

Kay: Basically, Chancellor Industries will be going public, pending government approval.

Kevin: Wow. I had no idea.

Neil: Because it needs to be kept confidential.

Kay: Now there's going to be some major players from the financial world, you know, and key business associates a-and some friends. Uh, they know what we're doing.

Neil: But it's not for general consumption, Kevin.

Kevin: Inner circle only. (Clicks tongue) Got it.

Gloria: There's something big going on at Chancellor, and we need to know what it is.

Michael: Read the business section.

Jeff: Mm, we have. There's no mention of Chancellor anywhere.

Michael: What makes you think I would have an exclusive?

Jeff: Mikey, you hobnob with all the power brokers in this town.

Michael: Didn't I just go out on a limb for you two by getting those Cayman bank funds returned?

Jeff: Um, why settle when there's so much more to be had?

Gloria: Mm-hmm. So be a good son, do a little digging.

Michael: You're on your own.

Gloria: (Sighs)

Jeff: (Sighs)

Jeff: What now, Buttercup?

Gloria: (Chuckles) On to plan "B."

Jeff: Well...

Victoria: Hi. I thought you forgot.

J.T.: Well, I'm here, aren't I? What's up?

Victoria: (Sighs) Well, for starters, Heather refused to remove me from the grand jury list. Listen, if you need to leave, its fine.

J.T.: No, I'm--I'm-- I'm good. I'm good.

Victoria: It's just I--

J.T.: So Heather's not budging, huh? (Sighs)

Victoria: And my meeting with Nick didn't go very well, either.

J.T.: Well, he wants you to go back to Newman, right?

Victoria: But not in the home office. He thinks that after the fiasco with the S.E.C., that maybe I should just lie low for a while and keep a low profile and... (Sighs)

J.T.: Yeah, well, listen, I'm sorry. I know how disappointed you must be.

Victoria: Yeah, I was pretty angry at first. But then he made me an interesting proposition.

(Cell phone rings)

J.T.: Mr. McCall.

Tucker: I want a progress report on my new office.

Victoria: (Sighs)

J.T.: (Whispering) I-I gotta take this, all right? (Normal voice) Sure, yeah. I can get you those as soon as possible.

Chance: Esther, I need, um--

Esther: If you're looking for Chloe, she's at "Restless Style."

Chance: Actually, I needed you.

Esther: Oh?

Chance: You see, I want to do something special for Chloe, but, uh, I'm gonna need your help.

Chloe: Nice to be back in the old digs, huh?

Billy: (Sighs) Well, I kinda miss the jukebox and the peanut shells on the floor, but, hey, this will work.

Chloe: Well, I'm glad that you're here early, 'cause we have got to decide on the holiday cover if you want to make this deadline.

Billy: We'll make it.

Chloe: You picked it?

Billy: I did, and it's exactly what "Restless Style" needs in this season of goodwill towards men.

Chloe: Wait. Wait. I really hope that you're not going with the "Everyday hero" angle that Mackenzie came up with.

Billy: No... and yes, but not "Everyday." You familiar with Rory Gleason?

Chloe: As in Gleason Pharmaceuticals?

Billy: That's the one.

Chloe: Interesting, very interesting. She's young. She's beautiful. She's wealthy.

Billy: Mm-hmm.

Chloe: She also ditched Hermes for the homeless. I mean, I hear that she's a one-woman peace corps, single-handedly trying to change the world.

Billy: I know. She's perfect. (Clears throat) What's that for?

Chloe: That is for you trying to use a magazine cover to win back your ex--stupid.

Lily: Well?

Mac: The embryo transfer is scheduled for tomorrow.

Cane: Oh!

Lily: Oh, my gosh! I can't believe this is happening.

Cane: Oh, nothing can stop us now.

Mac: Actually, something can if we don't take care of it today.

J.T.: Sorry about that. When the boss calls, you gotta take it, you know?

Victoria: Yeah, I-I understand. I'm sure that things will settle down once the office officially opens.

J.T.: Oh, I wouldn't count on it. So, uh, you said Nick made a proposal, huh? Something besides Newman?

Victoria: It's an investment opportunity, actually. It's not common knowledge, but Katherine's decided to take 25% of Chancellor public, and she's invited the family to buy in now. I know it's gonna cost a fortune, but it's an opportunity that anyone would kill to be a part of.

Kay: Now you will be heading up a team for making sure that our numbers sync up. We need to account for every cent now, Kevin, because we're being heavily scrutinized by the S.E.C.

Neil: And the media, and anyone else who gets wind of this.

Kay: Now we have hired an independent accounting firm. They're gonna go over our books. Now it's your job, however, to make sure that they have access to computer files whenever they need them, and to report weekly to Mr. Winters about a status update.

Kevin: I'm sure that you would rather have anyone on board besides me, but, um, I promise I will not disappoint.

Neil: Kevin, it's Katherine's call. If you do a good job, there won't be a problem, you understand?

Kay: (Chuckles) Oh, I have every faith in him.

Kevin: Yeah, you always have, even at my lowest points. And knowing that you trust me with something this important, well, that really means a lot to me.

Kay: (Chuckles) Now I understand, uh, you're gonna need some time to reschedule.

Kevin: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Jana and I will work something out, and I can start as soon as possible.

Kay: Okay, good.

(Cell phone rings)

Kevin: Sorry. Uh, I think I need to take this, but I will not let you down, either of you.

Kevin: (Sighs) What is it, Mom?

Gloria: Kevin, Jeffrey and I were just wondering when you start your new job at Chancellor.

Kevin: How do you know about that?

Gloria: Honey, I keep up with my sons. So when's the big day?

Kevin: I'm actually here now.

Gloria: Fantastic. Well, we're at the club. Why don't you pop over and we'll celebrate?

Kevin: I can't.

Gloria: Honey, they've gotta give you a lunch hour. Tell you what-- I'll come to the office and pick you up myself.

Kevin: No. No. I'll meet you guys there.

Gloria: Good. Can't wait to hear all the details.

Kay: You showed remarkable restraint earlier. Evidently, you don't share my enthusiasm for bringing Kevin on board.

Neil: Well, listen, Katherine, I-- you know, I just wish that you'd have, uh, waited until after we went public, that's all.

Kay: Mm, why is that?

Neil: Why? Because aside from the fact that Kevin has the reputation of being a loose cannon, his brother is well-connected to practically every C.E.O. in town, and a lot of them, you did not invite in on this. Now what happens when they find out?

Kay: They won't.

Neil: It's not just Michael.

Kay: No?

Neil: It's the mother, Gloria Bardwell. When it comes to money, she's like a shark at the first sign of blood. Do you know what she's gonna do to that poor kid when she finds out that he's involved in something this big? She's probably gonna torture him to get the information out of him. I bet.

Kay: Oh, come on. If Gloria does find out, it's not like she has the means to get controlling interest.

Neil: Well, regardless, she and that sleazy, trashy husband of hers aren't the kind of people that we want around this endeavor, that's all.

Kay: I'm gonna put my trust in Kevin.

Neil: Well, Katherine, I hope he doesn't let you down.

Kay: (Chuckles)

Kevin: I don't have a lot of time.

Gloria: Yeah, but you have to eat. I ordered all your favorites.

Kevin: What is this?

Gloria: We just want you to know how proud we are of you-- even ordered a bottle of bubbly.

Kevin: Well, none for me. I gotta get back to work soon.

Gloria: Oh, what a responsible employee.

Jeff: I've always admired his work ethic.

Kevin: Do you even know what that is?

Jeff: (Laughs sarcastically)

Gloria: Honey, Honey, Honey. Jeffrey and I are just so proud of you. I mean, its one thing to be a success selling coffee, but quite another to be invited back into the corporate world.

Jeff: Yep, you're in the big leagues now, kid.

Gloria: Mm-hmm, and despite all my mistakes, I know that I did something right.

Jeff: So what are you gonna be doing up in that ivory tower? Information technology? Accounting?

Kevin: A little bit of both.

Jeff: Ah, jack-of-all-trades.

Gloria: It must be so exciting, especially with all the buzz around about Chancellor.

Kevin: What buzz?

Jeff: The kind that happens when there's money to be made.

Kevin: It's Chancellor Industries. There's always money to be made.

Gloria: Exactly. And now that Jeffrey and I are liquid again, we're looking for a sound investment, and we thought that in your new position, you might be able to steer us in the right direction.

Kevin: So this isn't really a celebration. It's more of an interrogation. You two want the inside scoop.

Gloria: Oh, don't be so silly. But if you do have a few tips to share--

Kevin: It's my first day, woman.

Jeff: Eh, no, no, no. You're right. You're right. You're right. Let him-- let him get the lay of the land before he starts snooping.

Gloria: Mm.

Kevin: I'm not gonna snoop. As for you, you pulled me into your last scheme to screw over Mrs. Chancellor. I'm not doing it anymore.

Gloria: Angel, the way you're getting so worked up makes me think you do know something.

Kevin: Yeah, you're certifiable.

Gloria: You holding out on me, Kevin?

Kevin: Good-bye.

Gloria: Kevin. You may as well go ahead and spill it now, 'cause you know I'm not gonna give up till I find out what this is.

Chloe: Come on. Stop dancing around this. The reason why you chose "Mother" is because you think that it's actually gonna win Mac back.

Billy: I chose her because I think she's gonna sell magazines. Think about it--we start with the family fortune. We dig into the "Poor little rich girl" past. We do a spread on the house in the Hamptons, vacation homes in Aspen and in Nice, and then we show how she went from partying with Paris at Nobu to serving soup to the homeless in the Sudan.

Chloe: Yeah, it's never gonna work.

Billy: Well, it will when we get all the celebrity shots from the fund-raiser we're gonna help sponsor, and then every time some paparazzi princess poses in front of the "Restless Style" backdrop, we get free publicity on the web.

Chloe: (Scoffs) Okay, it's quite the pitch. But guess what? It's not gonna win Mac back.

Billy: Would you stop obsessing over Mac, please?

Chloe: No, you're the one that's obsessed. And I gotta admit, it's actually-- it's actually really-- it's really fun watching you grovel. It actually sort of borders on stalker-ish. Hmm, don't you think?

Billy: Yeah, as usual, you're completely deluded.

Chloe: No, "Deluded" is thinking that a magazine cover is actually going to change someone's mind about having a baby.

Billy: I think I know Mac a little bit better than you do.

Chloe: Ha! Ha. So you admit it. You admit that's what you're doing.

Billy: Look, bottom line, until Mac's pregnant, she's not pregnant, so there's an open door.

Mac: I've told them this is just a technicality.

Michael: A technicality that must be completed before the procedure tomorrow.

Cane: Which we, uh, we understand.

Michael: All right, uh, we'll get to the fine print later. Right now, I'd like to hit the main points, starting with the financials. Now generally, surrogates are compensated for their efforts. Mackenzie waives payment.

Cane: Which you don't have to do.

Mac: Next.

Michael: Mackenzie has her own health insurance. She will be submitting all pregnancy-related claims to her carrier. However, you are responsible for covering any expenses for which she is not reimbursed.

Lily: Yes, absolutely. Of course.

Michael: Well, now the carrier, Mackenzie, will exercise every effort to carry the pregnancy to term and deliver a child or children.

Lily: Um, "Children"?

Michael: There are two embryos. There's a possibility.

Mac: I will happily get as big as a house if it's twins.

Cane: (Chuckles)

Michael: "Mackenzie will also make every effort to maintain optimum health throughout the pregnancy." That means no smoking, drinking, use of illegal drugs.

Mac: Not a problem.

Michael: "Mackenzie will also abstain from sexual intercourse as recommended by the I.V.F. team."

Mac: Also not a problem.

Michael: All right. "Mackenzie will follow the advice of an ob-gyn of Cane and Lily's choosing and she will submit to scheduled well visits which the biological parents will be invited to attend."

Mac: Right, because why would I go without them? It's their baby.

Michael: Yeah, that's right. Now we get to the custody issue. "It is the intent of all parties that the carrier have no physical or legal custody of, or any parental rights or duties with respect to the child born of this gestational surrogacy process. She will also refrain from seeking to obtain custody, partial custody, or a visitation in any attempt to form any parental relationship with the child, and will cooperate fully in allowing the biological parents to bond with said child from the moment of birth." What its saying is despite your friendship with Mackenzie and the fact that she will be carrying the baby for nine months, at the moment of birth, the child is Lily and Cane's in every way.

Victoria: The best part of life the more I think about it, the more I like the idea of investing in Chancellor. But you don't agree with me?

J.T.: No, I just-- I just think you don't have a whole lot to go on besides what Nick told you. Maybe you should do some research yourself.

Victoria: Oh, okay. Well, I plan to, but, um, once everything checks out, then I don't see why--

J.T.: Well, I-- look, I just-- Nick said himself that you need to lay low right now. The S.E.C. is gonna be all over this I.P.O.

Victoria: Well, Nick's concern was my working at Newman. It was actually his idea to invest and--

J.T.: Well, I-I--look, I just think you should hold off before doing this, all right?

Victoria: You know, I think I understand this business situation a little bit better than you do.

J.T.: Well, then why the hell did you ask what I thought? You're just gonna do what you want anyway, no matter what I say.

Chloe: That's so much better. Print that out. Thank you. Excuse me. Hey.

Chance: Hey.

Chloe: What are you doing out of bed?

Chance: I was getting stir-crazy in that house--aah.

Chloe: O-okay, see? Nope, that's why I'm gonna put you in a cab and take you home.

Chance: Mm. No, no, it's fine.

Chloe: No.

Chance: Look, its fine. I-I needed to get out of there, okay?

Chloe: Okay, well, then the least you could do, I guess, is, uh, buy me lunch since you're gonna risk your health.

Chance: Uh-huh. Okay.

Chloe: (Chuckles)

Chance: Well, actually, I'm here because I have a treat for you.

Chloe: You have a treat?

Chance: I do.

Chloe: Like a surprise?

Chance: It's not here. Actually, you gotta come with me to get it. Billy?

Billy: Yep.

Chance: You can spare Chloe for the rest of the day, can't you?

Billy: Oh, absolutely.

Chloe: What about the, uh, the prep for the shoot tomorrow?

Billy: It can wait.

Chloe: Okay, um, let me just wrap up a few things, and then I'll be ready.

Chance: Mm-hmm. Okay, great deal. I'll bring the car around so you don't freeze, all right?

Chloe: Okay, wow.

Chance: See you soon.

Chloe: Feast your eyes, people. This is what a gentleman looks like. Bye. Okay, um, listen, I just need you to sign off on the "Six degrees from scandal" piece, and here.

Billy: What's this?

Chloe: Well, I tracked down Rory Gleason's publicist, if you really want to do this.

Billy: I do. Well, you might as well get going. You don't want to keep "Sir Galahad" waiting.

Chloe: If you think that Rory Gleason is the way to go for "Restless Style," I am behind you 100%. But if you think that this is how you're gonna win Mac back, I just think it's gonna come back to bite you.

Lily: Yeah, I mean, we don't want Mac to disappear once our-- our baby is born. You know, we want our child to know...

Cane: Mm-hmm.

Lily: Who's responsible for bringing him or her into this world.

Cane: Yeah.

Michael: I understand.

Cane: We've even talked about making her the Godmother.

Mac: (Chuckles)

Lily: Yeah, and, you know, if I don't make it, then, you know, Mac's relationship with our baby will be more important than ever, so...

Michael: (Sighs) If you would like your son or daughter to maintain a close relationship with Mackenzie, that is entirely up to you.

Lily: Well, I mean, there are no "Ifs" about it.

Michael: Not now. But who knows what the future will bring? Life tends to throw us curves that we can't anticipate. That's why we have this contract to protect everybody's interests.

Lily: Yeah, and I-- I understand, but, you know, we don't need protection from Mac. (Chuckles)

Michael: Um, if, God forbid, you're not here, then Cane is solely responsible for legally determining what role, if any, Mackenzie has in the child's life.

Lily: Yeah, I mean, we're not gonna cut you out.

Cane: How could we after what you're giving us?

Michael: It's a big decision, if you need more time...

Mac: I don't.

Mac: (Sighs)

Lily: Thanks.

All: (Laugh)

Lily: It's done.

Cane: (Sighs)

Lily: (Laughs) Dough boy: (Giggling)

Billy: (Sighs)

Mac: I can't get to the phone, so leave me a message, and I will call you back.

Billy: Hey, it's me. Um, do you think you could stop by the office? There's something I want to tell you, and I think you'll be happy to hear it.

Chloe: I thought you wanted to be out of the house.

Chance: Well, we needed to come back for the first part of your surprise.

Esther: Did you tell her yet?

Chloe: Wait a minute. She knows and I don't know? That's not fair.

Chance: Okay. Fine.

Chloe: That's not fair.

Chance: I will tell you.

Chloe: (Scoffs)

Chance: I am getting a commendation.

Esther: For "Action above and beyond the call of duty."

Chloe: That--congratulations. I am so proud of you. Congratulations!

Chance: (Laughs) Ow!

Esther: Who knew that we would have a real-life hero in our midst?

Chloe: Um, I did.

Chance: Okay, all right. Let's not get carried away here.

Chloe: Okay, let's not get carried away. You almost got killed by a thief. So what is it? What is it?

Chance: (Sighs)

Chloe: I mean, is it a pin or a plaque? I don't--what do you get?

Chance: Yes, there will be a pinning ceremony.

Chloe: Awesome.

Chance: And, um, I was hoping you'd come with me.

Chloe: You what?

Esther: And there's more.

Chance: You know I don't know the first thing about fashion, so I called your mom, and she had Lauren send a few things over for you to, uh, choose from.

Chloe: What? What are you--?

Chance: Take a look. Take a look. Look, I just thought since I was getting something today, you should, too.

Chloe: (Chuckles)

Chance: What? Is this too much?

Chloe: Um, no. A guy's never done anything like this for me before. It's awkward. (Chuckles)

Chance: Oh, uh, well, um... I'm glad I could be the first. Go on. Go.

Chloe: (Chuckles)

Chance: Look. Browse.

Esther: (Chuckles)

Esther: (Laughs)

Chloe: I...

Chance: It's perfect.

Chloe: Love it.

Esther: Yeah, okay, we got it. Now just help me gather all these so I can have them picked up.

Chance: You know what? I'll, um, I'll do it.

Esther: (Chuckles)

Chloe: Give that one back to me. That's fine. (Sighs)

Esther: It's real, isn't it?

Chloe: Uh, yeah, it's not off the rack. Look at this.

Esther: No, no, not the dress-- how you feel about Chance. I was just so worried that you were just using him to make Billy jealous.

Chloe: (Stammers) Let--let's not do this here, you know?

Esther: Listen, I know that you are as nuts about him is he is about you, because you just can't fake a twinkle like that, Honey. You can't.

Chloe: Mom, enough already. Please, shh!

Victoria: I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to insult you. I just, uh, I don't know what-- I wasn't expecting that reaction, I guess.

J.T.: Yeah, and I shouldn't have said you'd do whatever you want.

Victoria: (Sighs)

J.T.: We both know you didn't really want to come to New York, so... look, can, um, I'm--I'm just really spent and distracted by work.

Victoria: Uh-huh.

J.T.: Can we just put off discussing anything or making any big decisions right now?

Victoria: Yeah. Oh, yeah. Sure. Yeah, that's fine. That's fine.

J.T.: Okay, I'm gonna get us some more coffee.

Neil: Well, well, looky here. You are back.

Victoria: (Chuckles) Hello, Neil.

Neil: Hey.

Victoria: How are you doing?

Neil: I'm doing okay. I'm doing excellent, actually. What--what happened to taking, uh, the big apple by storm?

Victoria: Oh, well, actually, um, J.T. did that. That's why they're asking him to open up an office here.

Neil: Ah. So you're back at Newman?

Victoria: Uh, no, no. I'm just-- I'm laying low for a while, you know?

Neil: Laying low. How's that working out for you?

Victoria: Yeah. (Chuckles) Well, good, really good. I-I owe it to J.T. to do this.

Neil: Um, is there any chance at all that I could lure you over to Chancellor Industries? I'm telling you, right now, it's very hot-- a lot going on these days.

Victoria: Yes, I know. So I hear. But I'm gonna have to pass on Chancellor for now, unfortunately.

Neil: Yeah, well, can't blame a guy for trying-- worth a shot.

J.T.: Hey.

Neil: Welcome back.

J.T.: (Chuckles)

Victoria: (Chuckles)

J.T.: Good to be back.

Neil: I'm sure. All right, good seeing you. Take care.

Victoria: All right, Neil. Good luck.

Neil: Thanks.

Victoria: All right.

J.T.: (Sighs)

Kevin: I just can't believe she would sink any lower.

Michael: Why are you so surprised? "The dynamic duo" was just here trying to get me to spill information about Chancellor.

Kevin: You know about what's going on?

Michael: Wait, something's going on?

Kevin: Look, Mrs. C. made me promise I wouldn't say anything.

Michael: Mm-hmm, I see.

Kevin: And believe me, you're better off not knowing with Mom hot on your trail. A-as it is, I gotta look over my shoulder, watching every word I say.

Michael: Yeah, well, usually with Gloria, it's best to say nothing.

Kevin: Yeah, but now I'm worried someone else is gonna tell her, and then Neil's gonna think it was me.

Michael: Ah. Huh. Sounds like you need to get her off your scent. Uh, I think I might know how to do to that.

Lily: Hey.

Cane: (Sighs) Hey. You know, for something that we knew we'd have to do, signing these papers took a lot more out of me than I expected.

Lily: (Sighs) Yeah. I was just so in awe of Mac. It's like Michael basically told her that she'd be turning her life inside out for the next nine months with nothing to show for it, and she didn't even blink.

Cane: You thinking about your mom?

Lily: Yeah, I just, um, I walked past this, and it just reminded me of how much I used to love dancing with her. Then it hit me that someday, I could be twirling my own little girl around.

Cane: I can see that.

Lily: Mm-hmm. And you'll teach your son how to play rugby.

Cane: Oh. So now we're having twins, huh?

Lily: Well, we both know that probably won't happen. I mean, the transfer might not even take. But, you know, as long as it's a possibility, can we at least pretend like we're gonna get everything that we want?

Cane: (Sighs) Yeah, we can. So why don't you come over here?

Lily: (Chuckles)

Cane: And you can tell me what else you see. Hmm?

Billy: Hey. I didn't think you were gonna come.

Mac: Where is everybody?

Billy: Well, I've been working 'em pretty hard. I thought they might need a break.

Mac: Um, I'm actually glad you called, 'cause there's something that I wanted to tell you, as well.

Billy: Look, can-- can I go first?

Mac: Yeah.

Billy: I decided on the holiday issue. I'm gonna go with Rory Gleason.

Mac: The pharmaceutical heiress.

Billy: Yeah, uh, she's not exactly the "Everyday hero" angle we discussed, but she's doing a lot to help homeless kids.

Mac: I like it.

Billy: Yeah?

Mac: Yeah. I think that it'll be really good for the magazine and good for you.

Billy: Well, um, what's your news?

Mac: The embryo transfer is tomorrow.

Billy: It's tomorrow?

Mac: Yeah, I-I thought you'd want to know. I can go if you--

Billy: No, it--no. It's fine, yeah. So, um, how do you feel?

Mac: (Chuckles) You don't really want to hear this.

Billy: (Sighs) Yeah, I do. I do.

Mac: I'm psyched, and scared out of my mind. Cane and Lily have two chances to have a child of their own, and the doctors are doing everything they can to maximize the odds, but there's still the chance that it might not take. And I just-- I don't want to let them down, and I don't know how I would live with myself if I did.

Billy: (Sighs)

Kay: Track down Neil Winters for me. Tell him I just got a call from the S.E.C., and I need to see him immediately.

Michael: Have a seat. I called you here because of Kevin. He says you tried to ply him with cheese puffs and champagne to get him to reveal privileged information about Chancellor Industries.

Jeff: (Chuckles) All we did was ask him to point us in the direction of a solid investment.

Gloria: Yeah.

Michael: At great risk to his personal and professional future, not that you care.

Gloria: Of course I care. I'm his mother.

Michael: You are who you are. Which would be worse-- you killing any chance Kevin has at a corporate future, or me just giving you the information in the hopes that for once you would keep it to yourself?

Gloria: So you do know something. And don't worry, Mikey. I won't say a word.

Jeff: Yeah. We'll even set up a dummy company as cover.

Gloria: (Chuckles) Not like we haven't done that before.

Michael: Kevin is my chief concern.

Gloria: As he should be. And I'll protect him. Don't worry, Mike.

Michael: Hmm. All right, I'll tell you what you want to know.

Chance: (Sighs)

Chloe: (Sighs)

Chance: Wow. (Chuckles)

Chloe: Right back at ya.

Chance: You look out of a magazine.

Chloe: (Chuckles)

Chance: Speaking of which, there's gonna be a photographer there from the "Chronicle," and I was hoping that you could stand next to me when it came time to taking the picture.

Chloe: (Sighs)

Chance: I'll take that as a "No."

Chloe: No. No, no, no, no.

Chance: It's fine, really.

Chloe: No, yes. Yes, I would-- I would love to. I-- I've never been the girl that the guy wants in the picture, that's all.

Chance: Oh. Well, now you are.

Chloe: (Chuckles)

Billy: You're not gonna let them down.

Mac: How do you know that?

Billy: Because Mackenzie Browning never starts something she can't finish. And when you told me you were gonna be a surrogate, I automatically had this vision of you being pregnant.

Mac: (Laughs) You're psychic now?

Billy: Well... (Laughs) Maybe not. Maybe that was just my brain in overload. Maybe that's why I freaked out. But I'll tell you this-- you're giving Lily and Cane a shot at something they're never gonna have, so no matter what happens, they're gonna be grateful.

Mac: Thank you. (Sighs)

Lily: Well, I see you...

Cane: Mm-hmm.

Lily: Walking her down the aisle...

Cane: Mm-hmm.

Lily: And I'll be there...

Cane: Mm-hmm.

Lily: As mother of the bride...

Cane: (Chuckles)

Lily: The way that my mom couldn't be there for me. You know, I just-- I have to believe what Colleen told me in that dream-- that one day, I will hold my baby, and that despite everything, our dream will come true.

Cane: Yeah.

Lily: Yeah.

Cane: Yeah.

Lily: (Chuckles)

Cane: Come here, baby. (Sighs)

Michael: No one outside of Chancellor Industries is supposed to know about this.

Gloria: And our lips are sealed.

Michael: I don't know.

Gloria: Oh, for God sakes, Michael, we're not gonna tell anybody.

Michael: Chancellor Industries is about to purchase a nanotech firm based outside of Berlin.

Jeff: I can't even pronounce that.

Gloria: (Chuckles)

Michael: All the better for you to keep it under wraps. Once this acquisition is approved, their stock prices are expected to triple.

Gloria: (Sighs) You're a good son, Michael.

Michael: Mm.

Jeff: Yeah, he's the best, which is, um, why we should, um, let him get back to work.

Gloria: Absolutely.

Michael: Mm.

Gloria: Taken up way too much of your valuable time.

Michael: And remember, Kevin must be protected.

Gloria: Don't worry, Michael.

(Door closes)

Kevin: So how long before they call their stockbroker?

Michael: She was reaching for her cell phone on the way out.

Kevin: How did you come up with that--nanotech?

Michael: Oh, I read it in an article.

Kevin: So is the stock worth anything?

Michael: You got me. Listen, the point being, Jeffrey and Gloria are no longer your problem. So you go make Katherine proud.

Kevin: Will do.

Neil: Katherine, I'm sorry. I got here quickly as I could. What'd the S.E.C. say?

Kay: Sit down, Neil. We've been approved!

Neil: You're ki-- fantastic! You know what? Now--now's the time to celebrate. But b-before we do, um, it's my job to remind that you're about to put 25% of your company up for sale. Any second thoughts, now is the time to talk about it.

Kay: It's right. It's right!

Neil: I couldn't agree more.

Kay: Full steam ahead, Neil. Full--full steam ahead! Yes!

Neil: (Laughs)

Kay: Oh, yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

Neil: Congratulations. (Chuckles)

(Ring)

J.T.: Yeah?

Tucker: It's official. Chancellor is in play.

Next on "The Young and The Restless"...

Jana: This woman that you're protecting-- does she defend you the same way that Kevin does?

Ryder: I don't know anything about that.

Daisy: Whatever he says, he's totally lying.

Mac: You slept with her.
