Nick: Bye-bye, Amy. Say, "Bye-bye." All right. (Sighs)

Faith: I'm gonna see Mommy?

Nick: Yeah. Well, guess what? You know how you're always asking about your mommy? Well, tonight, you're gonna get to see her as much as you want, 'cause your mommy is coming home for good.

Noah: Those stupid reporters at the gate knocking on the car windows. You know, I was tempted to run them down.

Sharon: (Sighs) Oh, that would be lovely. I get out of jail, and you go in.

Noah: What, that didn't upset you?

Sharon: Tonight, nothing could upset me.

Noah: Mm, don't be so sure.

Sharon: Why? What do you mean?

Noah: Um, the--the thing is, I-I wasn't expecting you to get home tonight, and--

Sharon: Well, trust me, neither was I.

Noah: Okay, so if the place is just a little bit dirty... well, if it's a lot dirty--

Sharon: Oh, gosh, I don't care about that. I'm just so happy to be home.

Noah: All right, just-- just stay here, and I'll run in there, and I'll straighten it up.

Sharon: (Laughs) Oh, come on. How bad can it really be?

Noah: (Sighs)

Sharon: Get me home.

(Heavy metal music blaring)

Noah: (Loudly) Uh, welcome home. Yeah, sorry about the music. I tried to warn you.

Sharon: (Loudly) Oh, my God!

Noah: (Sighs)

Sharon: I... (Sighs) You know, I-I have to admit, any other day, I would have freaked out about this, but...   

(Music turns off)

Sharon: (Sighs) (Normal voice) Tonight... (Sighs) This is just the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

Noah: (Chuckles)

Paul: Oh, hi.

Heather: Hey.

Paul: How are you?

Heather: Oh, nights like these, I wish I were invisible.

Paul: Oh, reporters all over you, huh?

Heather: Yeah, I mean, I can't really blame them. It is big news. It's a high-profile murder trial, and a key piece of evidence appears out of nowhere. The defendant walks.

Paul: Yeah, well, for what it's worth, I thought you were brilliant in court.

Heather: (Chuckles) A lot of good it did me.

Paul: I know it's gotta be frustrating. All that work...

Heather: Well, in some ways, I'm glad it worked out the way it did.

Paul: Well, it was--

Heather: Hey.

Paul: Hey, Ricky.

Ricky: Hey, how's it goin', Dad? Heather?

Paul: How are you? Good to see you. Nice surprise.

Heather: I invited Ricky to join us.

Paul: Great.

Ricky: You sure it's okay, me being here after what happened in court today?

Heather: We may have been on opposing sides, but you know what? This case taught me something.

Paul: What's that?

Heather: How important family is. I'm grateful for always having your support. And thank you for letting me vent and always giving me advice. And, you, thank you for, um, letting me confide in you. When I was upset. I know it was somewhat reluctantly on your part, but still, it meant a lot to me.

Paul: Well, that's what families are for, right?

Woman: Can you hold for a sec? Phyllis?

Phyllis: Hey.

Woman: Hey, I'm getting a lot of calls.

Phyllis: Oh, about the pictures of Adam and Heather makin' out.

Woman: Yes, and I'm not sure what to tell them.

Phyllis: Here. Hello, this is Phyllis Newman of "Restless Style," editor in chief. Ahh, yes, I think the pictures speak for themselves, don't you? No, I can't tell you who took them. E-exactly. I agree. I think that Adam Newman is definitely at the center of every scandal.

Adam: Vance, this is, uh, Adam Newman. I might be needing your legal services soon. Call me as soon as you get this, please?

(Tosses down cell phone)

(Knock on door)

Adam: (Sighs) You know, I can't be bothered with you right now.

Victor: Why? Because I finally have proof that you tried to destroy Sharon's memory card?

Adam: You don't have a damn thing.

Victor: What's this? Mm-hmm. Were you trying to destroy her or help her?

Adam: Help her, obviously.

Victor: Really? Either way, I'm gonna make sure that you never get near her again.

Man: Ms. Clark?

Avery: Yes?

Man: Dan Sanders, "Genoa City Chronicle." Would you care to comment on your client's release?

Avery: I believed from day one Sharon was innocent. I'm glad to see justice prevailed.

Dan: Hmm. Your critics are saying that it was luck. That if the audio from the volcano hadn't turned up, your long winning streak would be over.

Avery: Well, that's because they never got to hear my defense that I was gonna put up.

Dan: Your defense? Did it have anything to do with the article "Restless Style Online" posted earlier today?

Avery: What article?

Adam: What would make you think that I got rid of the memory card or that I even had it in the first place?

Victor: It didn't end up in the creek by accident now, did it?

Adam: That doesn't mean I put it there.

Victor: Then why did you look so panic-stricken when you learned that the memory card had been found?

Adam: Did I look panic-stricken? I don't care what you think. I have nothing to hide. And as far as Sharon is concerned, you don't tell me what to do. I can see her if I want. You can't stop me.

Victor: If I were you, Son, I wouldn't put that theory to the test.

Adam: Is that supposed to scare me?

Victor: It should.

Adam: You don't get it, do you? I can have Sharon.

Victor: Really?

Adam: How many times have I disappointed her? Hmm? How many times has she looked past it? Forgiven me? Seen the good in me?

Victor: Son, it saddens me to tell you that there's no good left in you for her to see.

Adam: And that's your opinion. But Sharon's different from you. She's a little bit more forgiving than you are, and she sees the real me, the me that sometimes I don't even see. But you, you see a monster that you relentlessly try and portray me as.

Victor: If you honestly think you can win back Sharon, then you are far more delusional than I thought.

Adam: Well, I guess we'll see then, won't we?

Victor: (Sighs) Beware, Son. Sharon is far smarter and stronger than you are giving her credit for.

Sharon: (Sighs) (Chuckles)

Noah: (Sighs)

Sharon: So you sure you don't want me to help? I--

Noah: No, no, I'm...

Sharon: (Laughs)

Noah: I'm almost done.

Sharon: Oh, my gosh. This is so surreal. This morning, I woke up in a prison cell. And look at me now.

Noah: I still can't believe you're free.

Sharon: Neither can I. You know, there were times when... I thought it wasn't ever gonna happen. I didn't think I'd ever be able to reach out and... hold my son ever again. Noah, I've missed you. I just missed you so much.

Noah: (Sighs) I missed you, too, Mom.

(Knock on door)

Noah: I'll get it.

Sharon: Okay.

Noah: Hey, hey, Dad.

Nick: Hey.

Noah: Hi, Little Stinker.

Sharon: (Gasps) (Laughs) Faith!

Nick: She asked for you the entire drive over here.

Sharon: You did, "Bunny"? Come here. I missed you, Baby.

Faith: This!

Sharon: (Gasps) I promise you, Mommy is never gonna leave you again.

Faith: This, this, this!

Sharon: (Gasps) Let's play. (Chuckles)

Faith: Do it again.

Nick: (Chuckles)

Sharon: I have missed these cheeks...

Faith: Do it again.

Nick: (Chuckles)

Sharon: And these little fingers, and that belly.

Noah: Look how happy Faith is.

Nick: Yeah, Son, you know, dad's and brothers are pretty cool, but moms are in a whole other league. (Sighs)

Sharon: You know, I've had to be so strong for so long. And I just... I don't think I've processed the whole terrible ordeal yet.

Nick: Sharon, what you've been through you're not gonna be able to forget overnight.

Sharon: No.

Faith: (Giggles)

Sharon: Being with my daughter is a great start, though, Nick. Thank you so much for bringing her.

(Cell phone vibrates) (Vibrating stops)

Nick: Yeah, um, she, uh, she pretty much demanded that I drive her over here. She said she was gonna take the keys and drive herself if I didn't do it.

Sharon: (Chuckles)

Nick: Right, Faith?

Noah: All right, I'm hungry. What do you want for dinner, Mom?

Sharon: (Gasps) Well, are you cooking?

Nick: Wow.

Noah: Yeah, totally. I can make anything... well, as long as the main ingredient is ground beef. (Chuckles)

Sharon: (Chuckles) Um, surprise us.

Noah: Dad, any requests?

(Cell phone vibrates)

Nick: You gotta be kidding me. Um, you know what, Son? I don't know if I can stay. I'm getting a lot of calls from the magazine. I gotta find out what's going on.

Phyllis: No, that's definitely Heather Stevens. Definitely. Oh, well, you judge for yourself. I'm not gonna go there. Mm. Okay, thanks. Oh, my God. Look at those hits. It's ins--

Avery: You bitch. You stole those pictures right out from under me, and in a court of law, no less.

Phyllis: My bad.

Avery: Is there anything you won't do to get what you want?

Paul: Thank you. All right, I'd like to propose a toast. To a woman getting her life back today.

Heather: Mm.

Ricky: Hear, hear.

(Glasses clink)

Paul: And I'd also like to suggest that if it hadn't been for that memory card showing up, you would have gotten a conviction.

Heather: (Sighs) I don't know about that.

Paul: What an experience, huh? To be involved in such a fascinating trial.

Ricky: Yeah, totally.

Paul: Bet you learned a lot about how the legal system works.

Ricky: You have no idea.

Paul: And what makes a good story, too. And since you want to be a journalist, that, uh, is invaluable, don't you think?

Heather: You know what? This case was a real wake-up call for me.

Paul: How so?

Heather: It really made me want to be a better person. I mean, sure, you know what? It would have been nice to have a win. But that's not what this is really about.

Paul: It's how you play the game.

Heather: Only it's not a game. I mean, Sharon Newman's future was at stake.

Paul: Exactly.

Heather: And sometimes, I think I get so caught up in prosecuting somebody that I forget why it is I went into this field. But no more. From now on, I am all about integrity, like you. And this guy here-- I mean, come on. Working for the defense, and still able to be friendly with his big sis. I don't know you well, Ricky, but what I've seen, I really like.

(Footsteps approach)

Paul: Aw.

Dan: Excuse me, Ms. Stevens?

Heather: Dan Sanders, right?

Dan: Yes, good memory. I was wondering if I could get a quote for "The Chronicle." Um, what's your reaction to the pictures on the "Restless Style" web site? The ones of you and Adam Newman?

Heather: How did you hear about that?

Dan: I-I didn't hear about it. I-I saw it. Right here.

Heather: (Whispers) Oh, my God.

Victor: If you had come forward with the memory card in the first place, you wouldn't have had to seduce Heather to help Sharon.

Adam: If you hadn't faked Skye's death and tried to frame me for her murder, none of this would have happened. Look at you. You're such a hypocrite if there ever was one. This is all your fault, and now you're acting all pious?

Victor: None of my actions, Son, compare with what you have done.

Adam: Okay, then. Good talk.

Victor: You used sex to compromise another woman's reputation for your own gain.

Adam: What, are you the captain of the moral police now? What do you care what I do to the A.D.A.?

Victor: The bottom line is, Sharon will never forgive you for withholding evidence that could have freed her from that prison.

Adam: And if you believed that, you wouldn't be here right now.

Victor: I'm here for another reason, Son.

(Knock on door)

Adam: Ahh. If it isn't our illustrious district attorney.

Spencer: May I come in?

Adam: Why?

Spencer: Mr. Newman asked me to stop by.

Adam: I repeat, why?

Victor: I'm hoping Mr. Walsh's visit will end in your arrest.

Spencer: So when did you first have access to the recording of Sharon and Skye the night Skye died?

Adam: I never said I had access to it.

Spencer: So what'd you mean when you said early on that the evidence "Didn't pan out"?

Adam: Well, I don't know. It was a long time ago. It was a bit emotional for me, so my memory is a bit fuzzy, you know?

Victor: If you know what's good for you, Son, your memory will make a very quick recovery.

Adam: You hear that? My father's quite fond of making threats to me. I hope you took note of that one.

Spencer: Your father and I are in total agreement. Stop stalling, and just start talking.

Adam: Okay, as soon as my attorney's present.

Victor: Now you know he has something to hide.

Adam: You've railroaded me far too many times. You either arrest me or you get out.

Spencer: I don't have enough to arrest you. But I suggest you call that attorney of yours.

Adam: (Sighs)

Victor: I meant what I said about Sharon.

Adam: She's a big girl. She can make up her own mind.

Victor: Son, look at me. You stay away from her. You got that?

Sharon: Well, I sang her a lullaby, and she drifted right off.

Nick: Yeah, she definitely missed your nighttime ritual. Every time I tried it with her, she always put her hand over my mouth.

Sharon: (Chuckles) So did you find out what's going on at "Restless Style"?

Nick: Yeah. Apparently, Phyllis posted online some pictures of Adam and... Heather making out. You don't seem surprised.

Sharon: I'm not.

Nick: So you knew about them?

Sharon: Yeah, Avery was seconds away from using them to show prosecutorial misconduct, and then Phyllis and Ronan burst in with that memory card.

Nick: How did Phyllis know about the pictures, let alone get her hands on them?

Sharon: (Sighs) You know, you'd have to ask her.

Nick: I will. I better head over there.

Sharon: You're not gonna bring Faith back to the nanny, are you?

Nick: No, not on your first night home.

Sharon: I appreciate that.

Nick: I am concerned about the future, though, Sharon.

Sharon: Why?

Nick: Well, right now, you want to devote all your time to your kids. But how long until you abandon them again?

Sharon: What? Nick... never! I mean it.

Nick: I know you mean that today, but what about tomorrow? Sharon, I mean, you swore to me that you were done with Adam, and then suddenly, you're engaged to him again. For all I know, you could be with him right now.

Sharon: I swear to you, the only thing that matters to me is my children.

Nick: You have no idea how much I hope you mean that, because I will not allow Noah and Faith to be hurt any more than they already have been.

Paul: Look, Ms. Stevens has no comment. Thank you.

Dan: Ahh, okay. Well, if you decide you want to go on record, give me a call, okay?

Heather: Oh, my God. How did those pictures get out?

Paul: A better question-- what were you doing kissing that jerk?

Heather: (Sighs) I was drunk. He played on our history to get me up to his room.

Paul: Hmm.

Heather: And I was just gonna lie down for a minute until the room stopped spinning. (Sighs) Oh, my God.

Paul: And you trusted him after everything he's done?

Heather: I was having a bad day, and I was feeling vulnerable. I promise you, nothing happened between us beyond what you saw in that photograph.

Paul: Did you know about the pictures?

Heather: Adam told me that they existed. He said that they might surface in court.

Paul: To cause a mistrial.

Heather: Right. But when the new evidence came out proving that Sharon didn't murder Skye, I thought that there was no reason for him to release them. (Sighs) How could I let this happen?

(Cell phone rings)

Heather: Oh, my God. It's the D.A. (Ring)

Heather: Uh, Spencer, hi, I-if this is about those pic-- uh, y-yes, I'm at the Athletic Club. Uh, yes, Sir. I-I'll wait for you here. He's on his way over.

Ricky: Uh, I've got some wrap-up on the trial.

Paul: What, now?

Ricky: Yeah, intern hours. (Sighs) I'll catch you soon.

Heather: I'm so screwed.

Avery: How did you find out about them anyway?

Phyllis: Well, your intern wanted to make a little trade. Um, cash, and a job here at "Restless Style," my magazine, for the photographs.

Avery: Ricky.

Phyllis: Mm-hmm.

Avery: He told me someone wanted to pay him big money. I should have guessed it was you.

Phyllis: Yeah, yeah, Avery, he came to me.

Avery: Right, but he didn't sell you the pictures. He had a change of heart.

Phyllis: And your point is?

Avery: My point is that you couldn't buy them, so you grabbed them when no one was looking, right? And then you put them in your stupid magazine. Now forget the fact that that's completely unethical and that you've ruined a woman's career, as long as you could stick it to me, right?

Phyllis: Avery, this is not about you.

Avery: Oh, I think it is about me.

Phyllis: Oh, I think it isn't. Sweetie, Sweetie, you're not that important to me. I'm sorry. This is business. Business.

Avery: Bull. I think everything you've done since I got to town is about me.

Nick: All right, I'm gonna take off. I'll, uh, check in with you later and make sure you're okay.

Sharon: Thanks. Nick, I'm... I didn't mean to get defensive earlier, and you know what? I-I have given you reason not to trust me.

Nick: Yeah, you have.

Sharon: Nick, I'm not gonna hurt those kids again. Being separated from them was torture for me.

Nick: Look, Sharon, I know that you are a great mother. But you've made some really terrible decisions.

Sharon: I know. I know.

Nick: All right, we got a lot of time to discuss this stuff. Enjoy your night at home with your daughter.

Sharon: Both my kids.

Nick: Yeah. In fact, I'm gonna go out the back way and tell him I'm leaving.

Sharon: Okay.

Sharon: (Sighs)

Sam: (Sighs)

(Cell phone rings)

Sam: Hello?

Sharon: Sam, it's me.

Sam: Sharon?

Sharon: Guess what?

Sam: What?

Sharon: I'm free. I-I-I'm out of jail.

Sam: What--what--I--how?

Sharon: Just a little while ago. Phyllis and Ronan found the missing memory card. And when the judge heard the recording of me trying to save Skye, he--he dropped all the charges against me, and he just gave me time served for trying to escape.

Sam: That's the best news I've heard in a long time.

Sharon: I mean, yesterday, I'd all but given up hope, and today, I'm in my own home. I'm with my kids. I can sleep in my own bed. (Laughs)

Sam: Well, if I was there, I-I'd give you a big hug. I would.

Sharon: I knew that you would be happy for me.

Sam: Well, you've been given a second chance, you know? I know you won't waste it.

Sharon: You're right. I won't.

Spencer: When I hired you back, you convinced me you'd changed.

Heather: I have.

Spencer: Yet here you are, in the middle of another scandal.

Paul: Spencer, in all fairness, I think--

Spencer: Don't defend her, Williams. Now I told you the next time you screwed up, you were out.

Heather: Sir, the last thing I wanted was to embarrass you or the D.A.'s office.

Paul: (Sighs)

Spencer: It's a shame you can't get your act together. You'd be one hell of a prosecutor.

Heather: Spencer, is there anything I can say to make you--

Spencer: No. You were caught kissing a witness. I have no recourse but to fire you.

Paul: Spencer... (Stammers) Come on, I--

Spencer: I'm sorry, Paul, but for all her talent, your daughter's become a liability to me.

Paul: I'm sorry, Sweetheart.

Heather: How could I have been such an idiot? I should have known that Adam was setting me up.

Ricky: How could you do this?

Phyllis: Oh, my God, both of you? Uh, you were a nanosecond from doin' it yourself. What are you talking about?

Ricky: Those pictures were mine, Phyllis. You printed them without my permission.

Phyllis: Oops, I... (Sighs)

Ricky: Oh, I'll give you "Oops." I'm filing a lawsuit against you and "Restless Style."

Avery: And I will gladly represent you. Expect a process server in your future.

Sam: I don't know how soon I can get back to Genoa City.

Sharon: Well, you're needed there.

Sam: I can't wait to see you, especially without a guard watching our every move, you know?

Sharon: Mm. How are things in New Mexico?

Sam: It's good to be taking care of my patients again.

Sharon: You know, you have a real gift with animals.

Sam: Walkin' out to the barn where you stayed, that, uh, it sure brings back a lot of memories.

Sharon: Yeah, there were a lot of special memories there-- you and me and Piper and Fanny. (Chuckles)

Sam: Yeah, sometimes, I wish we could go back.

Sharon: Me, too. You know, despite what I was going through at the time-- missing my kids and-- and being afraid of being caught, it-- I really had... a lot of special moments there with you in the barn, and I-I felt at peace with you on the ranch.

Sam: Well, I know you just got out, you know? I'll, uh, I'll give Piper the good news, and maybe we can talk again soon, huh?

Sharon: Okay. Bye, Sam.

Sam: Night.

(Knock on door)

Sharon: Victor! (Chuckles)

Victor: (Sighs)

Sharon: (Sighs)

Victor: Something smells so good.

Sharon: Well, Noah is cooking for me.

Victor: I hope you didn't have to deal with all those reporters outside the gate.

Sharon: No, um, you know, there were just a few when we got here, and Noah was able to drive past 'em.

Victor: Did-- I thought Nicholas might have brought Faith by.

Sharon: Um, yeah, he did. And--and--

Victor: He did? Oh.

Sharon: Yeah, he was gonna stay with us for dinner, but then something came up at work, but, um, he left Faith here with me.

Victor: I'm glad. That's nice of him.

Sharon: Victor, I've never been happier in my life. I mean, I can-- I can open a window and smell the fresh air. And I have my son in the kitchen. I have my daughter upstairs asleep. (Sighs)

Victor: I'm so happy for you.

Sharon: I can't thank you enough for everything you did for me, for everything you were willing to do.

Victor: Promise me one thing.

Sharon: What?

Victor: You stay away from Adam.

Paul: Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kick your ass.

Adam: You never know who's hiding behind a potted palm with a camera.

Paul: Why did you do it, Adam? Heather was drunk. A normal person would have called her a cab.

Adam: Nobody in this town ever accused me of being normal.

Paul: Yeah, but to set her up like that? To make her look like a fool? She lost her job at the D.A.'s office. You know that?

Adam: No, I hadn't heard about that.

Paul: Yeah, well, you destroyed her career. She's devastated.

Adam: I know how much the position of A.D.A. meant to her. But I'm not the one you should be blaming.

Paul: Really? Who should I blame?

Adam: The person who took the pictures. That's who you ought to look for.

Phyllis: Thank you.

Ricky: Sharon had already been exonerated. There was no reason to print those pictures.

Avery: Except vindictiveness and greed.

Phyllis: Oh, listen to you two hypocrites. You were gonna break out those pictures in court before the memory card showed itse-- by--by the way, I found the memory card, by the way.

Avery: Yeah, yeah, you mentioned that more than once.

Ricky: The photos were a last-ditch attempt to save our client.

Phyllis: Okay, if you have to justify throwing your sister under the bus, that's how you do it.

Avery: No, no, no, he begged me to find another way.

Phyllis: (Scoffs) Are you kidding me? He took the pictures, Avery.

Avery: Okay, okay, all personal issues aside, I get it. Trash--you need trash to sell your magazines.

Phyllis: Okay, so you understand that. No problem. We have no problem.

Avery: No, the problem is that you stole the photos, and if you think you're gonna get away with it, you're crazy.

Nick: Whoa, Phyllis stole the photos?

Avery: Yes, she did. And I hope it was worth it, because we're suing Phyllis and the magazine.

Nick: No, you can't do that.

Avery: Oh, really, Nick? Watch us. Come on.

Phyllis: Don't look at me like that. He came to me with those pictures. He came to me.

Nick: Ricky. That's why you needed to speak with him the other day.

Phyllis: Yes. Yes.

Nick: But he obviously didn't sell them to you. Otherwise, you wouldn't have had to steal them.

Phyllis: (Sighs) Are you kidding me? We're running a magazine here. Are you really taking her side?

Nick: (Hits desktop) Do you have any idea what kind of jeopardy you put this magazine in? And us?

Phyllis: Where are you going? Where are you going?

Nick: I'm going to find Avery to try and do some damage control.

Phyllis: Of course you are. Of course you are. Let me tell you something, it was a genius move-- a genius move on my part to break the story! You should be kissing my feet. (Throws paper) (Sighs)

Victor: I had no idea you were such a good cook.

Sharon: Yeah.

Victor: That was good.

Sharon: You know, obviously, I knew you were in Paris, but you never told me you studied at Cordon Bleu.

Victor: (Sighs) What?

Noah: Well, it's just spaghetti and homemade meatballs.

Victor: At Le Cordon Bleu. Wow. Spaghetti and meatballs? Well, this was so good, maybe you should graduate to hamburgers and French fries and then eventually own your own restaurant. What do you think?

Noah: You know, that is what I've always wanted, Grandpa.

Victor: (Laughs)

Noah: Not really, though.

Sharon: (Laughs) Oh, I love this-- just hanging out with my family, laughing.

Noah: I'm happy you could join us.

Victor: I wouldn't miss your mother's homecoming for anything.

Sharon: (Sighs)

Noah: Well, um, I'm gonna clear everything then.

Victor: Yep.

Noah: (Sighs)

Victor: Thank you.

Noah: No worries.

Faith: (Fusses)

Victor: Is that the baby?

Sharon: Oh, yeah. I'll be right back.

Victor: Okay.

(Telephone rings) (Ring) (Ring)

Victor: Adam? Don't you ever call here again. You got it?

Sharon: Okay. Faith had just kicked her blankets off. Who was on the phone?

Victor: Just a pesky reporter. One of those guys out there trying to get a hold of you, you know?

Sharon: (Sighs)

Adam: (Sighs) You're crazy if you think you can keep me away from Sharon.

Nick: Avery, five minutes. That's all I ask.

Avery: Why? So you can talk me out of the lawsuit?

Nick: What Phyllis did was wrong.

Avery: Well, I doubt your hands are clean.

Nick: I swear to you, I had nothing to do with that.

Avery: Ricky has every right to sue.

Nick: Can't you talk to him?

Avery: And what? Plead my sister's case? That's not gonna happen.

Nick: There has to be something I can do to make this right.

Avery: (Sighs) I'm sorry, Nick. It's too late for that.

Ricky: Where's Heather?

Paul: I don't know.

Ricky: What happened with the district attorney?

Paul: He fired her.

Ricky: Damn.

Paul: I-I'm worried about her, Ricky. When she left here, she was pretty upset.

Ricky: I'm not surprised.

Paul: I ran into Adam.

Ricky: I hope you put him through a wall.

Paul: The thought crossed my mind. Then he mentioned something that... got me thinking.

Ricky: What'd he say?

Paul: He said I should blame the person who took the pictures. Seriously, Ricky. What--what kind of a person would do that?

Phyllis: I know. Scandalous. I know. Craziness, right? (Gasps) Oh, my-- excuse me! Don't get mad at me. I didn't take the pictures. I didn't take 'em. If you want to get mad at someone, get mad at your brother.

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

Adam: You and I cannot quit each other. You know that.

Heather: Tell me that you didn't really take those pictures.

Avery: By the time I'm done with you, you'll be broke and on your way to prison, but then it wouldn't be the first time.
