Victoria: I know, all right? I-I-I know. I know. I know.

Nick: Do you? Do you know what I'm about to say to you right now?

Victoria: (Sighs) Having read the article, I have a very good idea.

Nick: Then maybe you can explain to me why you decided to marry some chump who is obsessed with embarrassing our family.

Victoria: (Sighs)

(Doorbell rings)

Phyllis: (Sighs) Hey.

Billy: Aha.

Phyllis: Ha, I know what the smile's about. I know what the smile's about.

Billy: Yep, this is the sales report of our latest issue.

Phyllis: (Squeals)

Billy: Correction--this is the sales report of the latest issue of our first printing that just hit the stands and is already sellin' out.

Phyllis: (Gasps) That is fantastic. Let me see it. Let me see it. Let me see.

Billy: No. No. Sorry. Where's your resident psycho first?

Phyllis: She's not here. She's with Daniel. She's at Daniel's place. Here.

Billy: What?

Phyllis: What? She... well, it--it's a long story. But, uh, Daniel asked the courts if Daisy could stay at his house because he doesn't want me to be separated from my daughter for the holidays.

Billy: And you're okay with that?

Phyllis: Yeah, he's stepping up.

Billy: Good man.

Phyllis: He is such a good boy. Anyway, let me see this. Uh, let me see the daily sales.

Billy: Okay, fine. Fine. Feast your eyes. Feast your eyes.

Phyllis: Oh, my gosh. Oh, my God.

Billy: Uh-huh.

Phyllis: (Sighs)

Billy: Uh-huh. I say we exceeded our goal of getting back into our readers' good graces, wouldn't you?

Phyllis: If I do say so myself...

Billy: Well, have a cigar, editor in chief.

Phyllis: Oh, thank you very much, owner and publisher.

Billy: Yes. Don't cut yourself. I'm having champagne brought over, also.

Phyllis: I won't. (Gasps) Nice. You know what? Let's call everybody in the office. We should all party. This is a historic event, truly. You know, this is gonna be our best-selling issue ever-- ever.

Billy: And we will party hearty, except for first, I need you to finish your follow-up piece. Mm-hmm.

Adam: Shower feel good?

Sharon: Oh, chocolate's harder to shampoo out of your hair than I thought. (Chuckles)

Adam: Well, it had to be worth it. I mean, it had to all be worth it just to see the look oh Phyllis' face when you covered her in that chocolate.

Sharon: Actually, I think it was a mistake. I just shouldn't have gone anywhere near her. Katherine had such a lovely event, and I ruined it. What about your face?

Adam: Oh.

Sharon: Does that hurt?

Adam: No, no, no. It looks worse than it is. I'm okay.

Sharon: Actually, you know what? It's not okay. Jack punched you. It's not okay.

Adam: (Purses lips) Look, we had a bad day, okay? It was that damned article.

Sharon: Well, as long as everyone thinks that you killed Skye, our lives are gonna be hell. You know, the police are looking to charge you.

Adam: Mm. Let 'em charge me. Leslie Michaelson-- she's a shark, just like Vance Abrams. The woman can do her job. Trust me. I'm still not gonna discount the fact that there's gonna be people out there, vigilantes who are takin' shots at me out of pure sport, but...

Adam: Is that, um, Faith?

Sharon: I really miss my little girl right now. And Nick said that I could see her, but only if he's there, standing guard, you know? Like I'm some kind of criminal or unfit mother. She's gotta be wondering where her mommy is. It just kills me that I can't be there for her.

Adam: Look at this. You're the one person in the world that matters to me, and you're gettin' dragged into all this after you sacrificed so much. Sharon, you don't deserve this. Neither does Faith. Maybe it'd be best if you and I just walked away from each other.

Jill: Thank you.

Colin: Jill?

Jill: Oh, Colin. How lovely to see you again.

Colin: I've been meaning to call you and say how great it was meeting you yesterday...

Jill: (Chuckles)

Colin: Especially when you invited me to sit down and take a bite with your son and his wife.

Jill: Well, it was my pleasure. And you fit right in.

Colin: Too bad Cane couldn't stick around. I'd like to get to know him better. Maybe, uh... (Sighs) We could do this again sometime.

Jill: I would love that. How about next week sometime?

Colin: Well, unfortunately, I think I will have returned home by then. Uh, we could always make it for another time, uh, understanding that I'm not too sure when I'm gonna be back.

Jill: No. I'll tell you what, let's do it tonight. I presume you're free?

Colin: Yes. Yes, I am, indeed.

Jill: Good. I'll give my son a call and invite him. I'll twist his arm.

Colin: Persuasive woman you are, I doubt that'll be necessary.

Jill: (Chuckles)

Colin: But, uh, do me a favor-- don't tell Cane that I'll be present. I... I want to surprise him with something I brought from Australia.

Cane: What the hell is my father doing in Genoa City, and what does he want?

Blake: (Sighs)

Blake: Just back off, Ashby. I have no idea what Colin wants.

Cane: You're a liar.

Blake: (Sighs) Mate, I was sent here to shake you down. I assumed those orders came from your old man. I didn't ask a lot of questions.

Cane: All right, you got your job. The checks will keep comin'. Now answer me. Cut the crap. Why is he here?

Blake: Oh, Mate, I am too low on the food chain for Colin to keep me apprised of his plans. But given that you were the one that ratted him out, I doubt he's here for a family reunion.

(Cell phone rings)

Cane: Ashby.

Jill: Hi, Darling. Listen, do you think I could talk you into having dinner with me tonight?

Cane: You know, Mom, I'm a little busy right now.

Jill: Cane, you've gotta eat, okay? We haven't been spending very much time together lately.

Cane: Listen, um, I'm a little swamped, all right? I'm sorry. Uh, can we do this another time? I would love to get together.

Jill: Please? I have a surprise for you. It's gonna be worth your while, too. And, no, I can't save it. The offer's only good for one night.

Cane: All right. You wore me down. So, um, I'll let Lily know I won't be home for dinner.

Jill: Great. Bye, Honey. He's coming.

Colin: Never in doubt.

Jill: (Chuckles) I'm really glad that you're gonna get the opportunity to get to know him, and then you'll see why I consider him my son.

Colin: Anyone you're close to, Jill, I want to get close to.

Jill: Whoa.

Nick: Don't tell me you condone this.

Victoria: I'm not exactly comfortable with it.

Nick: Not comfortable? Way to take a stand, Vick.

Victoria: (Sighs) Look, I don't know what to say. I knew what Billy did for a living when I married him. Besides, why do you even care what he publishes about Sharon in the first place?

Nick: Oh, to hell with Sharon. This is not about her. This is about my children. You know, Summer and Faith, they're gonna read this crap someday. And Noah, he just comes back from Paris. What does he get to read? His mother's dirty laundry splashed all over the cover of a magazine.

Victoria: Nick, listen. Our family is always in the limelight. And Noah is a--he's a-- he's a big kid, okay? It's not gonna come as some shock to him, his mother's history. I mean, he knows it by now.

Nick: Noah is disillusioned enough as it is. This is just like gasoline on flames. He left town because of all this craziness. Maybe you can understand that. You did the same thing.

Victoria: Yeah, and I lived to complain another day. This too shall pass, Nick.

Nick: You are missing the point. This rag that your husband makes is causing real damage to the people who deserve it the least. Noah is so disgusted with his mother, he's cutting her out of his life. I'm telling you right now, if Noah leaves town and doesn't come back, that's on Billy's head, and yours.

Phyllis: Yeah, I know. It was great. I feel the same way. Oh, come on. (Chuckles) Thank you. All right, we'll talk later.

Billy: You should read the e-mails from our readers who are singing your praises. You are a hit.

Phyllis: Ahh, yes, I am. No, no, it's not me, Billy. It's Adam and Sharon. They're a hit.

Billy: Well, either way, I mean, it's-- you should want to do a follow-up, right? I mean, come on.

Phyllis: Um, listen. You just-- you caught me off guard. That's all. So what was your idea for a follow-up? I just need to know.

Billy: Well, I mean, after the sales that we just racked in, it's kind of a no-brainer, don't you think?

Phyllis: Yeah, well, hypothetically-- I'm not agreeing to it-- but just hypothetically, what's your angle?

Billy: Well, follow the yellow brick road. Get to know the cops who are on the case. Find out how they're investigating Skye's disappearance. And the next issue should be all about Adam getting arrested for murder. It would be so good.

Phyllis: Oh, and then a follow-up issue on Adam's trial, right?

Billy: I mean, yeah. I mean, who knows where it can go from here? We could have a whole year's worth of material.

Phyllis: (Gasps) Oh, my God, this is really good. Alert the Pulitzer Prize committee, because I'm gonna win it.

Billy: I like that.

Phyllis: Mm-hmm.

Billy: But look, this is the goose that laid the golden egg, and I'm not gonna let it fly away, so you-- you get the goods on Adam Newman, okay? And then you and I can be living on champagne and unlit cigars until the little freak rots in jail. So what do you say? Are you in? Are you out? Are you in? Are you in? (Glasses clink)

Billy: Yeah!

Sharon: Walk away? Adam...

Adam: Look, until I'm exonerated, you should have nothing to do with me. You should protect yourself and Faith.

Sharon: O-okay, well, I-I appreciate what you're trying to do, but I'm in this way too deep now.

Adam: Sharon, I can't let you risk any more than you already have.

Sharon: No, I-I know I'm not certain of some things, but you didn't kill Skye. That I know.

Adam: I appreciate your vote of confidence. I do. But unfortunately, what you believe, Sharon, is irrelevant. Everybody thinks I'm a murderer, and you're gonna suffer for that.

Sharon: What-- what kind of a role model would I be to Faith if I didn't stand by my convictions?

Adam: I don't think you know what you're getting yourself into here.

Sharon: And I don't think you know what it means to me to have you in my life. Adam, you and I bring out the best in each other.

Adam: And you make me want to be a better man, to aspire to be the kind of person that deserves you.

Sharon: The only way that we can solve our problems is to prove that you didn't kill Skye.

Adam: Well, I know just where to start.

Victoria: You know, Sharon's behavior has been completely appalling, so if Noah's had it with her, you can't blame that on Billy.

Nick: Mm. What's gonna happen when Billy decides someday to run some vicious gossip piece about you?

Victoria: (Scoffs) Oh, God. He's never gonna do that.

Nick: You sure about that?

Victoria: Yeah, I'm sure. Yeah. I'm his wife, for God sakes, Nick.

Nick: It'll happen. If it's juicy enough and it will line his pockets, Abbott will run with it because all he cares about is money.

Victoria: Proving once again how little you know my husband. He happens to be very protective of me, and I'm really insulted that you would insinuate that he would do anything to hurt me.

Nick: You sound like Sharon defending Adam.

Victoria: Oh. Oh--

Nick: "He's such an amazing guy, and nobody understands him, and you never gave him a chance. He's--"

Victoria: You know what? That's enough. That's enough right there. Don't compare me to Sharon. Please, don't do that.

Nick: Have you forgotten what you lost the first time Billy decided to write about you? All that stuff with Deacon? What'd you lose, Vick? Just your marriage and your son. And all these terrible things that Adam's done to Sharon-- now she's wrapped around his finger the way you are with Billy. Why the two of you can't see these two men for who they really are is beyond me!

Victoria: You made up your mind about Billy a long time ago. Obviously being right is the only thing that matters to you. You don't care about being part of a loving and caring family, Nick.

Nick: Let me just make sure I'm gettin' this right. You are supporting your husband while he is exploiting people's lives so he can make money. That's what I'm hearing from you.

Victoria: Okay, I am not discussing this with you anymore, all right? Your problem is with Sharon. It's not with Billy.

Nick: Oh, trust me, I am gonna deal with Sharon. As far as Billy is concerned, you tell him he better stay the hell away from me, 'cause I'm done with him.

Victoria: You're done with him. Oh, okay. Are you done with me, too?

Nick: The day you told me you were marrying him, I knew it was a bad decision. It was a mistake. I did not want to stand up for you, but I did that because I love you. I showed up. I walked you down that aisle, and I gave you to him. And here we are, three months later, he is causing my children heartache. Vick, that is far more important to me right now than making nice with you.

Victoria: It's official. You've become our father.

Jill: I am so glad you took the time to come to dinner.

Cane: Yeah, well, Lily was all for it. Uh, it gives her a chance to wrap my Christmas presents.

Jill: Oh, good. All right. Well, tell her thank you, okay?

Cane: I will.

Jill: Now you come with me, and brace yourself.

Cane: Oh, you have a surprise for me.

Jill: That's right. Right this way.

Cane: All right, let's see.

Jill: Ta-da!

Colin: Hello, Cane.

Cane: Mister, um, Atkinson.

Colin: Colin, please.

Cane: Colin.

Jill: I hope you don't mind. I invited Colin to join us for dinner.

Cane: Uh, you know what? Maybe some other time. I-I-I don't want to, you know, interrupt you guys.

Jill: You're not interrupting us. As a matter of fact, he specifically asked if you could join us. All right, go ahead. Show him the surprise, okay? He has a surprise, and I think you are going to find it fascinating.

Cane: All right, let's just do this another time.

Colin: Take a look at the photograph. Do you recognize that face?

Sharon: Um, do you think that the maid might realize you swiped her card?

Adam: No. I didn't swipe it. I borrowed it from the cart and returned it before she even noticed it was there.

Sharon: Oh. Okay, I stand corrected.

Adam: Okay, I really don't...

Sharon: (Sighs)

Adam: Believe Skye is actually dead. I don't think she was murdered, and she must have left some kind of clue behind that would let us know where she might have gone to.

Sharon: Um, you think maybe she planned this and she knew eventually that you were gonna be on to her?

Adam: Of course she did. I helped her fake her death before, remember? I-I planted that ring. I mean, I know this woman. I can get inside her head. I should be able to. After all, I helped her with all those other scams.

Sharon: So do you think she had help this time, too?

Adam: Dear old dad. And isn't it convenient that he's flying all over the world in his jet and can't be questioned?

Sharon: All right, well, we can't worry about Victor right now. If we're going to prove your innocent, we need to find hard evidence. So let's just start with the basic premise here. Skye is dead, and you're the murderer.

Phyllis: That's the most sensible thing I've heard all day.

Sharon: What are you doing here, Phyllis?

Adam: Kindly get out now.

Phyllis: The hotel manager gave me a key to look the place over. See, I'm a member of the press now. But my guess is you don't have permission to be here. That's my guess... especially since you're persona non grata, right, Adam? Oh, do you have permission? Oh, maybe I'm wrong. Let's call the hotel manager.

Adam: Okay, Phyllis.

Phyllis: Mm-hmm?

Adam: All right, put the phone down. You're right.

Phyllis: Hmm.

Adam: We don't have permission.

Phyllis: Oh.

Sharon: And why do you care? Are you--are you stalking me again, Phyllis? Now you wrote your trash. Leave us alone.

Phyllis: Uh, well, this story isn't over. Not by a long shot.

Sharon: I'm so sick of your stupid games.

Phyllis: Oh, well, this isn't a game, Sharon. This is the story of an ongoing investigation. Adam was arrested for murder. Adam goes to trial. Adam is readjusting to prison life. You see, I'm just doing my due diligence as a journalist.

Adam: How do you breathe with your nose tucked so far up other people's business?

Phyllis: Mm.

Adam: I'm sick of your personal attacks against Sharon.

Phyllis: And what are you gonna do? Kill me like you did Skye?

Sharon: Let her stay.

Jill: So do you know this girl?

Cane: Yeah, I do.

Colin: I kind of thought you might.

Jill: Who is she, Honey?

Cane: Um, she was someone who was very dear to me a long time ago.

Jill: Boy, that's pretty incredible, isn't it?

Cane: Yeah.

Jill: Australia's such a huge country, and you know the same people. It's really a small world.

Colin: I'd like to think of it as fate.

Jill: Anyway, I should go look after dinner. Help yourself to drinks, okay?

Colin: Oh, I'm sure we will.

Jill: (Chuckles) Okay.

Cane: You're gonna pull this crap? You're gonna use my sister to get to me? Is that what you're gonna do? I tell you this, if you hurt Jill, I will do more that put you in prison. You got it? Yeah.

Colin: Why would I want to hurt Jill? I mean, she seems like a nice lady.

Cane: And so was Samantha, until you destroyed her.

Colin: Yeah, well, we wouldn't want you to finish up like her, would we?

Cane: You don't intimidate me, Old Man.

Colin: I'm here to help you if you'll let me. Make all your problems go away.

Cane: You know what my problem is? My problem is you. So why don't you turn around, get your ass on a plane, go back to Australia, and leave me alone?

[Victoria remembering]

Victoria: I thought that now that we're married that you might start cutting the crap.

Billy: What "Crap" would that be, "Snookums"?

Victoria: Why don't you just rename this magazine "Newman Style" and stop pretending to report on anything else? You do know that now that we're married, you're attacking your own relatives, right?

Billy: Can I help it if they're interesting?

Victoria: (Sighs)

Billy: Okay. (Clears throat) Look, this is my business.

Victoria: Mm-hmm.

Billy: I find riveting, beautiful people. I put 'em on my magazine.

Billy: Yeah, I know. I know. The magazine is flying right off the shelves. Aren't you glad you went for the 2-page ad? Yes, you are. Well, hey, I tell you what, why don't we, uh, go to lunch sometime next week? Cool? All right, it's my treat. I'll see you then. It's a date. Bye. Hi. You're up. You must be feelin' better.

Victoria: I was. (Sighs)

Nick: Okay, great job, everyone. I'll see you back at the office. Mitch, good to see you again, Man. Have a seat. So you are looking for some... (Sighs) Background information on our Valletta acquisition for a piece you're writing?

Mitch: Yeah. First, any reaction to the latest issue of "Restless Style"? Your first ex-wife savaged in print?

Nick: I'm gonna stop you right there. We're here to discuss Newman business for a piece you're writing on the petrochemical industry. We will not be talking about my ex-wives.

Mitch: What did Victor think? Has he read it online from overseas?

Nick: Mitch, we're not gonna talk about my family. If you have a problem with that, then we are done here.

Victoria: Thanks a lot. Nick was mad at me, and now he wants to disown me. Thank you.

Billy: Oh. Come on now. You knew we were working on the story.

Victoria: I knew you were working on the story. I didn't know you were planning on annihilating Noah's mother in print. Did you have to go on and on about how evil she is? N-nick says that Noah's ready to jump on a plane and go back to Europe a-and--and stay there for good.

Billy: Oh, because of a magazine article, or because of the repulsive way his mother's been behaving? Come on. Can you honestly tell me that Sharon didn't bring this on herself?

Victoria: Can you honestly tell me that you didn't promise me that you wouldn't do this kind of thing? I don't care about Adam and--and Sharon. I-I mean, they have whatever's coming to them. That's--that's fine. But you and I agreed that you weren't gonna air my family's dirty laundry month after month after month.

Billy: Okay, look, honey, if half this town didn't want to punch me in the face after each issue, then I'm not doin' my job.

Victoria: Billy, what are you saying? That is such a cop-out. You're not considering my feelings once again. Now I defended you to Nick. I did. But he's had it with both of us, and I gotta be honest with you, I don't blame him. (Sighs)

Billy: (Sighs)

Sharon: You say that you're gonna keep going after Adam and that you're gonna tell the whole story. Okay. Fine. Do it. But this time, why don't you get the facts straight? And don't just make it all about yourself and your personal grudges. Why don't you be the journalist that you're so proud to be? And ask yourself, did Adam really kill Skye? Look at the facts, for once, objectively. Um, do your job.

Phyllis: You're serious?

Sharon: Adam and I are convinced that Skye is still alive, and that someone is helping her.

Phyllis: Oh, really? Who?

Adam: Someone who had the resources to make it look like she died. They got rid of her, helped her disappear and left me holding the bag. That's who.

Phyllis: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That narrows it down.

Sharon: So we came here to find some clues to help us get on Skye's trail, and if you want to tag along, maybe you'll learn the truth, so that next time you write an article, you'll get it right. So what do you say? Are you a real journalist? Or are you just some hack with an ax to grind?

Colin: You seem to forget I'm the one that went to jail. I did time. We're still repairing the damage you did when you saved your own neck.

Cane: (Quietly) Saved my own neck? You think that's why I turned you over to the authorities? So I could save my own neck? No. I turned you over 'cause you forced me to.

Colin: You were a willing participant. You're as guilty as the rest of us.

Cane: (Scoffs)

Colin: The difference is, you came over here, picked up a new life, while your cousins and uncles got to pick up the tab for it. I gave you everything. You were the-- you were the prince of Queensland, groomed to be king. And now, explain to me th-this line of crap that you're feeding the Chancellors about growing up underprivileged in the outback. Huh?

Jill: All right, Gentlemen.

Cane: (Chuckles)

Jill: Dinner's almost ready.

Cane: (Normal voice) Great.

Jill: So how are you two getting along?

Colin: (Sighs) Uh, it's like we've known each other for years.

Cane: (Laughs)

Jill: Oh, that's wonderful. I was hoping you'd hit it off.

Cane: Yeah. (Sighs)

Jill: Okay, so tell me some more about-- what was her name again?

Cane: Her name was, um, Samantha. And she was one of the most beautiful people I've ever known. But, um, she passed away a few years ago.

Jill: Oh, Honey. I'm so sorry.

Colin: From what I understand, uh...

Cane: It's okay.

Colin: Cane and, uh, Samantha got to know each other growing up. I got to know her quite well, too.

Jill: I'm surprised that your paths never crossed.

Cane: Uh... (Sighs) I don't know. Maybe your paths crossed, you know? They might have done that, but maybe it was at the-- at the funeral, don't you think?

Colin: Could have been.

Cane: Yeah, could have been. Yeah.

Jill: Well, now you've connected, and there's no reason why you can't be the best of friends, right?

Cane: (Laughs)

Colin: I couldn't agree more.

Cane: Yeah, I can't see why not. Yeah. Yeah. (Chuckles)

Colin: My compliments to the chef.

Jill: Oh, thank you.

Cane: Yeah, the meal was just--it's just-- it's wonderful. Thank you.

Jill: And how would you know, Cane? You've barely touched your food.

Colin: Uh, if you'll excuse me...

Jill: Oh, yeah. Right out this door to the right and down the hall.

Colin: Thank you.

Jill: Okay.

Jill: What is up with you? What's wrong with you?

Cane: Nothing. Nothing. Nothing's wrong. I'm--I'm--I'm--I'm just tired. You know, work is stressing me out. (Quietly) Listen, um, I'm worried about you. You know, I don't think you should be seeing this guy.

Jill: Why? What do you know? Is it something about that girl?

Cane: No. (Chuckles) No. No, it's just an instinct thing. That's all. It's just instinct.

Jill: Oh, Cane, for heaven's sake--

Cane: Just--just trust-- trust me. Just trust me, okay?

Jill: Darling. Darling, listen to me. If you have a concrete reason for wanting to warn me, that's one thing. I will listen. I will make up my own mind, okay? But, please, if this is just you being overprotective because he'll be leaving town, don't worry about it. I know what I'm doing. I'm just having fun, Cane.

(Footsteps approach)

Cane: (Chuckles) (Clears throat)

Jill: And this one is one of the most interesting men I've met in a long time.

Cane: (Chuckles)

Colin: Mm, you're pretty interesting yourself.

Jill: Well, thank you very much.

Colin: Cane, how would you feel if I took your mother out?

Jill: (Chuckles)

Cane: (Normal voice) How could I object?

Jill: (Laughs) On that note, I'm gonna go and get the dessert, because I like something sweet after dinner.

Cane: So you got Blake threatening my wife and he's extorting money from me, and now you got Jill in the palm of your hand. So what's your endgame? What is it you want? What do you really want?

Colin: I want you to come home, take up your rightful place in the organization.

Cane: Just like that? Like nothing happened?

Colin: Just like that.

Cane: No. You're full of it.

Colin: You're dead to us. Gone. This double life, the pressure of a... a business, let all that float away. You'll resume your position as my son, the role that you were born into.

Cane: (Whispers) No.

Colin: It's not just about you, Kid. It's about family, and you're all I've got. You, my daughter-in-law, my grandchildren. All family. When I saw the twins yesterday--

Cane: (Quietly) Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. When did you see my family?

Colin: Oh, being photographed. I mean, those kids are gorgeous. I was so proud that--

Cane: Now listen to me, and you get this through your head. They're not your family, you got it? They're not your family.

Colin: Oh, that's where you're so wrong.

Cane: Yeah?

Colin: They're all part of the deal. You all come back together.

Cane: And what are you gonna do if I refuse, huh?

Jill: Here it comes.

Colin: (Chuckles)

Jill: I hope you're both in the mood for my world-famous...

Cane: (Normal voice) Wow, look at that.

Jill: Pineapple upside-down cake. Yes, look at that.

Cane: (Sighs)

Colin: Mmm.

Jill: (Laughs)

Cane: Looks delicious.

Jill: Oh, it does. Okay. (Sighs)

Phyllis: So, Sharon, you, of all people, are willing to defend him?

Sharon: And that must tell you something, doesn't it?

Phyllis: That you're deranged.

Sharon: No, it's that I don't believe for a second that Adam killed his wife in cold blood over a stupid hedge fund.

Phyllis: So you're willing to share information with me? Me, the person you assaulted in a roomful of people?

Sharon: Adam and I will agree to share with you whatever we find, but you have to agree to write a fact-based story based on an honest evaluation of the evidence, even if it does exonerate Adam.

Phyllis: Well, fat chance of that ever happening.

Sharon: Oh, okay. Well, then no reason not to take me up on my offer.

Adam: No, no. This is a bad idea. Phyllis here, she despises me. She would twist anything she could to suit her own purpose.

Phyllis: Hmm.

Sharon: No, you know what? She's so--so proud of revealing the truth. All I'm doing is challenging her to live up to that. And if the evidence points towards Adam being innocent, then she will write a story that you were wrongly accused. Agreed?

Phyllis: Hey, you know what? Sure, why not? Let's give it a whirl.

Sharon: Okay, let's get down to business then.

Phyllis: Let's do it. Okay. So, um, when I walked in, you, Sharon, were saying something like, uh... Skye is dead, and you killed her. Let's continue along that train of thought, shall we?

Victoria: I think it's time for you to pick some other family to dump on.

Billy: Its Adam and Sharon. For goodness sake, I thought you would be all excited about this issue, just like I am.

Victoria: Well, you know, part of me was happy. I'm not really proud of that, but I was happy to see Sharon get what's hers, but I also understand what it feels like to screw up your life and to lose your child. So I'm sorry if I can't get behind this particular vendetta of yours and Phyllis'.

Billy: Okay. In that case... (Clears throat)

Victoria: (Sighs)

Victoria: What are you doing?

Billy: Wait for it.

Billy: Say the word. If you want me to end "Restless Style," just say the word.

Victoria: No way.

Billy: Yes, way.

Victoria: You would quit the magazine if I asked you to?

Billy: No, I wouldn't quit. I would bury the damn thing, and this would be the last issue of "Restless Style" ever created.

Victoria: You wouldn't just sell your interests?

Billy: No. Gone. Write it off, because if you haven't noticed, there's nothing in this world that I wouldn't do for you.

Victoria: You would, wouldn't you?

Billy: Honey, I would muck out stalls for a living if it would make you happy. Please tell me that's not gonna make you happy.

Victoria: I'm still angry at you for breaking your promise. I'm not exactly thrilled about what you do. But... it is who you are, and it fulfills you. You're really good at it. And I love you.

Billy: I love you, too.

Victoria: (Sighs)

Billy: (Growls)

Sharon: Okay, so let's just assume for a moment that somebody did kill Skye-- not Adam, but someone. We need to figure out how that person could have done it so that we can find evidence that will rule out Adam.

Adam: Well, since only blood was found and no body, somehow, the murderer would have had to have gotten rid of it.

Phyllis: Right. Right. Right. Yeah, okay, well, I'll play along. Um, L... how would you do it?

Adam: The freight elevator. It goes straight down to the loading dock.

Phyllis: Oh, yeah. Subject seems to know a lot about the freight elevator.

Adam: Phyllis, whether or not Skye was alive or dead, she would have had to have used the freight elevator. It makes the most sense. There's less security and less traffic. It just--it's the way to go.

Sharon: No, I-I like it. That makes sense. I think we should go there. Let's--let's see if we can find anything.

Sharon: Coming along?

Phyllis: Nah. No, thanks. I have better things to do with my day than watch you two play detective, but if you can prove to me that Skye is alive, I will write about that-- the truth. Until then, I'm prepping my case that the police have against Adam for murder.

Adam: (Sighs)

Mitch: Thanks again for your time.

Nick: Happy to help, Mitch.

Mitch: And, uh, I'm sorry if I crossed the line with the whole "Restless Style" stuff.

Nick: Hey, there's a fine line between reporting on a subject and exploiting it. I've learned that recently. But let me know if you need any more quotes for your business piece.

Phyllis: (Sighs)

Colin: If you ever come to Queensland, I'd love to show you around.

Jill: Oh, now that sounds marvelous. What about you, Cane? Do you ever miss it?

Cane: What's that?

Jill: Australia. I know you had a bit of a rough time there, but do you?

Colin: So what do you say? You ever see yourself coming home one day?

Cane: No. No, Genoa City is my home, and I love my life here. I'm not gonna leave. Does that, um, does that answer your question?

Jill: I'm so glad to hear you say that. I would hate it if you left.

Cane: (Chuckles)

Colin: You know... (Sighs, clears throat) I know this secret about Cane that I bet nobody in the family knows. You want to hear about it? (Chuckles)

Jill: (Chuckles)

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

Ronan: You want to bust me on being closed off? Why don't you look in the mirror?

Jana: Once I get custody of the baby, Kevin's gonna insist that I move in with him.

Kevin: Would it be so awful if people thought we were an actual couple?
