(Cell phone ringing)

Adam: I hope you took my advice, didn't leave the house. Just wanted to make sure you were there. I'll be headed over there soon.

Chelsea: Who was that?

(Knock on door)

Avery: Hi. You're back.

Nick: Yep. You headed in to work?

Avery: Uh, no, not yet. Come on in.

Nick: Thank you.

Avery: Actually, I've been thinking about our conversation. You're--you know, it's such a crossroads.

Nick: Well, not anymore.

Avery: No?

Nick: I just came from telling my dad I wasn't gonna be a part of the fight to get the company back.

Avery: Wow.

Nick: Yeah. Feels like a big deal.

Avery: It is a big deal. Does it feel good?

Nick: It did. Now I don't know. I'm... (Sighs) Really starting to second-guess myself. My dad spent his entire life building up that company for this family.

Avery: Nick, there's no need to feel guilty.

Nick: (Sighs) Yeah, I know. I mean, in my head, I know.

Avery: But in your heart...

Nick: In my heart, I feel like I let my family down.

Avery: Oh, Nick.

Avery: What was your dad's reaction when you told him?

Nick: In front of my mother, he was very accepting, but I'm sure I will hear more about the subject later.

Avery: (Chuckles) Yes, well, he is very persuasive.

Nick: That's a nice way to put it...

Avery: (Chuckles)

Nick: But it doesn't matter. I know all the cards he could play.

Avery: (Sighs) Will he try to make you feel like a bad son?

Nick: Oh, he'll absolutely do that, but I don't care. I'm just gonna be a good father right now.

Avery: Well, you are a good father, and you're not letting your family down. You're doing this for your family, for Summer.

Nick: Yeah, Summer. She really needs me right now, so I'm just gonna be a dad.

Avery: You know, I think-- I think you're confusing the company for your family, you know? In the last year, how much time did you spend on mergers and acquisitions and lawsuits and takeovers? That company is not your family.

Nick: It's all so clear when you explain it. Like when we were playing chess the other day, I learned something.

Avery: That you're not very good at it?

Nick: (Laughs) Right. Right.

Avery: (Laughs)

Nick: I don't even like it. I mean, the planning, the strategy, the maneuvering... there was a time when I liked it. Heck, I was even good at it, but not now. Same with the business. It's not who I am anymore.

Avery: Well, then you are doing absolutely the right thing.

Nick: Are you just saying that because you're in-house counsel for Newman Enterprises?

Avery: No, I'm saying that because I'm your...

Avery: (Sighs) Nick, what are we doing?

Nick: You tell me.

Chris: Ah.

Paul: Hi. Okay.

Chris: Hey.

Paul: Here are the addresses I think you'll need.

Chris: All right, thanks.

Heather: It's probably the first time in your career you're following up on leads that came to you in a dream, huh?

Chris: Not even yours. Eden's.

Paul: Okay, so I'm sure you both think that I'm grasping at straws...

Heather: No.

Paul: But I really think there is something behind Eden's dream. She wants so desperately to--to prove that I was protecting her when I shot Ricky, but she can't remember that night because it was so traumatic-- but her subconscious, I believe, is doing the next best thing.

Heather: Mm.

Paul: It's delivering every scrap of information that it has on Ricky in her sleep.

Chris: Okay, well, not all these hints are gonna end up being relevant. We just need one to pan out, to lead us to evidence that Ricky was homicidal.

Phyllis: (Clears throat)

Paul: (Sighs)

Phyllis: You're suing me?

Chris: Ohh. (Chuckles)

Phyllis: Seriously? You got smacked down by Judge Daley in court. It was embarrassing. Was that not enough for you to get a grip?

Chris: Oh, yeah. Speaking of getting a grip...

Phyllis: You know what? Um, this is what I think of your lawsuit.

Adam: I was leaving a message for Jack. He's been after me to come in and meet with him.

Chelsea: What does he want?

Adam: Don't know. Something to do with the takeover, I'm sure. How are you feeling? Did you get some sleep?

Chelsea: A little.

Adam: Not much?

Chelsea: I keep having-- not exactly nightmares. Um... I keep hearing in my sleep a baby crying. (Sighs)

Adam: What's gonna make you feel better today? Getting out of the house, going for a long walk, getting a massage?

Chelsea: I'd like to just stay here in your arms for the rest of the day. Can we do that?

Nick: I know we're friends, and I don't want to mess that up.

Avery: I don't, either.

Nick: You're becoming important to me.

Avery: Right, as a sounding board.

Nick: Yeah, a trusted confidante, and if that's all you would like this to be...

Avery: You know, I just, uh... anything more-- I-I-I-I don't know.

Nick: Yeah. Then we'll take it slow, one step at a time.

Avery: Small steps. Baby steps.

Nick: Super microscopically small steps.

Avery: Invisible-to- the-naked-eye steps. I did not mean to say "Naked." (Laughs)

Nick: Slow. We can do that, right?

Paul: Phyllis--

Chris: No, Paul! You realize, what you just did, it accomplished nothing, right?

Phyllis: Oh, oh, oh! What are you doing? What are you trying to accomplish, Christine, by suing me? It's pointless.

Chris: Well, you're right, I can't put you behind bars, so if I have to settle for taking all your money, I guess I'll have to live with that.

Phyllis: Oh, wait a second, wait a second, wait a second. This isn't about money, is it? This is not about money. This isn't even about payback. I understand what this is about. I get it. I saw you in that courtroom, basking in the glow. You loved the attention, didn't you?

Chris: (Scoffs)

Phyllis: You had Danny on one side, Paul on the other. (Laughs) Wow, just like old times...

Paul: Oh, for God sake, Phyllis.

Phyllis: Isn't it? Isn't it? But it got cut short, so you gotta--dragging us all back into court. Here we go, back into the court, just so you can get noticed, because I bet it's hard with Danny just, you know, flying in for a couple days for a quickie. (Clicking tongue) Right? And then Paul here-- all he... (Laughs) All he ever wants out of you is, you know, supporting him when he's up on murder charges. Oh, but actually, actually, he fired you, didn't he?

Heather: Phyllis. Phyllis--

Phyllis: Wow, so I'm-- I'm wrong there. Hmm.

Heather: Phyllis, legally speaking, you're only hurting yourself right now, just to put it out there.

Chris: Oh, my God. Well, that's progress for her. Usually she's hurting other people.

Phyllis: You know what? Don't talk to me like you know me. You have no idea who I am anymore. Zero. Got it? You want my life, don't you?

Chris: (Scoffs) Oh, God.

Phyllis: You want to claw yourself into my life, 'cause you got nothing. You got nothing. You got nothing to move on to. You're all alone. What do you do? You go home, and you-- and you eat your little frozen dinners for one.

Chris: Oh, right, and your life is so full and bountiful these days.

Phyllis: Yeah, you know-- no, no, no, no, no, we're not gonna talk about my family. You want to go there? Be prepared. We're not gonna talk about what you did to my family.

Chris: What I did to your family?

Phyllis: Yes, every single--

Chris: What I did to your family? Are you kidding me?

Phyllis: Every single thing!

Paul: That's enough! That's enough! That's enough.

Phyllis: Every single thing that happened with my family is--let go of me!

Paul: That's enough.

Phyllis: Is because of you! Do you understand that? Because of her, her, her!

Chelsea: Couldn't you postpone the meeting with Jack?

Adam: I gotta get this over with.

Chelsea: Okay, then why don't I drive you and wait till you're done, and then we can go pick up the car at the shop if it's ready?

Adam: I have a whole lineup of meetings this morning, but, uh, we can meet for lunch.

Chelsea: Mm, I'll just make you something here.

Adam: Not ready to see and be seen?

Chelsea: People are gonna feel like they need to say something, or they won't know what to say, or maybe they won't have heard what happened. If somebody asked me right now how the baby's doing, I don't think I could--

Adam: No, it's-- people will understand. They get it. It's hard. We're in this together, Chelse.

Chelsea: Okay. We can meet for lunch. Just not the Gloworm, okay? Seeing Jeffrey right now, I think, would be too much.

Adam: How about the club?

Chelsea: It's a date.

Paul: Please, Phyllis--

Phyllis: Y-you know what? I withdraw my objection. I withdraw my objection, all! I withdraw. I withdraw. You know what? If this is what you need to get a thrill out of your sad, pathetic little life, you go for it. Knock yourself out.

Chris: It's shocking that you have such confidence.

Phyllis: You were laughed out of court, Christine. I'm sorry. This case--it won't even make a courtroom.

Chris: And why is that? Oh, are you gonna run me over in a car again? No!

Paul: Chris!

Phyllis: The case will be dismissed again.

Chris: I wouldn't stop rattling the cage anytime soon?

Phyllis: No, she's not. She's--she's--she's actually not gonna stop doing that, because she just wants to relive her glory days when she had an entourage and everyone loved her.

Paul: Okay, look, do I have to personally escort you out of here?

Avery: That's fine. It's actually better for me if we reschedule, but don't let him know that. Okay, have you talked to Carter? Good, have him send over that file, and we still haven't heard from opposing counsel. He needs to know that, so make sure he gets that kiss, please. What? I said-- oh, um, I meant "Message." Make sure he gets that message. (Laughs) Yeah, I don't know. Um, okay, well, that's all. Bye-bye. (Sighs) (Mouthing words)

Noah: Dad.

Nick: Is this the new job?

Noah: Yes, it is. What can I get you?

Nick: Well, I don't know. Let me see if I can come up with something to test your skills. You weren't kidding when you said you wanted to take a break from music.

Noah: Yeah, at least for a little while.

Nick: Then your relationship fell apart at the same time?

Noah: Mm.

Nick: Two things are connected.

Noah: Hey, Buddy, you gonna order a drink? I'm gonna have to run you out of here.

Nick: Okay, all right, let's see. Let's make it a, uh, Chicago fizz, slick.

Noah: All right, but you're gonna have to wait while I round up an egg.

Nick: (Laughs) Okay, you know your stuff. Attaboy.

Noah: Are you surprised?

Nick: I'm impressed, but make it a beer. I can't stand Chicago fizz.

Noah: So what's going on with you? Seem like you're in a better mood.

Nick: Yeah, I guess I am.

Anita: Hi, Honey.

Jeff: Sorry to intrude. (Chuckles)

Anita: I was out shopping this morning, and I saw some things for the baby, and I just could not resist.

Jeff: (Laughs) Yeah, believe it or not, there's more out in the car.

Anita: I got a little carried away. (Chuckles)

Jeff: Honey, you okay? You don't look so hot.

Anita: Uh-oh. Morning sickness.

Chelsea: No.

Anita: Do you have a cold? You know, you really have to be careful about what you take when you're pregnant, Sweetie.

Chelsea: I'm not... pregnant.

Anita: Oh.

Chelsea: I had a miscarriage.

Jeff: (Sighs)

Anita: Poor Sweetheart. Ohh. When did this happen? Why--why didn't you call me?

Chelsea: I-I didn't want to talk about it.

Jeff: I am so sorry.

Anita: Yeah. How--how's Adam? He was so excited to be a father.

Chelsea: He's just-- he's keeping really busy and working and stuff.

Anita: Doesn't sound really healthy.

Jeff: Um, you should get him to open up to you. You know, draw him out.

Chelsea: Everyone has their own ways of coping, okay? So...

Anita: But, Honey, this is something that can create distance between a husband and wife.

Chelsea: He's not going to leave me just because I lost the baby, okay?

Adam: Sharon?

Adam: Sharon? Sharon!

Adam: (Sighs)

(Muffled cell phone ringing)

Avery: (Sighs) Ahh.

[Avery daydreaming]

Nick: You really want to take this slow, seriously?

Avery: (Moans) (Breathing heavily)

Avery: Mm. (Breathing heavily)

Nick: (Breathing heavily)

Avery: (Grunting) Oh, my God. (Sighs) (Sighs)

Noah: Have you talked to Mom lately?

Nick: No. Why, is there something going on I should know about?

Noah: Um, I don't know. She hasn't been returning my phone calls.

Nick: That's weird.

Noah: Yeah. I don't know, she might be a little ticked off. Last couple times I saw her, I was pretty blunt.

Nick: Well, it's not like her to give you the silent treatment, or anyone, for that matter.

Noah: That's what's got me thinking that maybe something's not right.

Nick: Yeah, don't worry about it, Son. It's not your responsibility.

Noah: I don't know. I came down on her pretty hard. You know, maybe-- maybe what she needed was just some help.

Anita: Of course Adam's not going to leave you. He adores you.

Jeff: You guys haven't had an argument, have you?

Chelsea: No. No. I... (Sighs) I just know how excited you both were about being related to the littlest Newman heir. That's my value to you.

Anita: That is not true.

Jeff: (Sighs) Look, um, we didn't mean to upset you. I'm gonna get all this stuff out of here. This has gotta be a tough time for you.

Anita: Where is Adam? He should be here with you.

Chelsea: He, um... (Sniffles) He had some meetings.

Anita: Meetings? What could possibly be more important than taking care of you right now?

Adam: Sharon.

Sharon: Adam. What happened?

Adam: You don't remember?

Sharon: Did you tell me about this last night?

Adam: So you remember being with me?

Sharon: I remember you came to the house. Uh, y-you left me a note and you called me. I had too much to drink last night.

Adam: Yeah, yeah, you did. Come on, we gotta get out of here.

Paul: She's an expert at pushing your buttons. I understand that.

Chris: No, I-I know what you're gonna say, and you're right. I-I can't engage with her like I just did. It's a losing game.

Heather: Okay, I talked to everyone, and they all noticed the argument, obviously, but nobody seems to have recorded it for posterity.

Chris: That's good. Thank you.

Heather: You're welcome.

Chris: And I promise you both, from this moment forward, I will maintain my professional demeanor with Phyllis.

Heather: You can't give her attorney any opening to question your motives or your character.

Chris: No, no, trust me, this case isn't gonna get thrown away for any reason.

Heather: Okay.

Chris: It's a fight to the finish.

Avery: Avery, where is your head? Ooh! Oh, oh, oh, oh. Are you kidding me? (Sighs)

Avery: (Sighs) (Sighs) Ohh. (Exhales slowly)

Noah: So are you gonna get Newman back in time to give it to Grandpa for a wedding present?

Nick: Dad's retiring, remember?

Noah: (Laughs) Yeah, uh-huh. You gotta know, the first time he sees you and Aunt Vicki doing something that he would have done differently, he's gonna be right there looking over your shoulder.

Nick: Not my shoulder. I told Dad, I am not getting involved in trying to win Newman back.

Noah: Really? You're retiring, too?

Nick: I'm looking for a new challenge, something that does not require a suit and tie.

Noah: Have you ever thought about bartending? We could use a man like you.

Nick: I'm not gonna rule that out. I don't know what I'm gonna do. I just know I'm ready to move on.

Noah: That's great. It's kind of funny, three generations of Newman men making a break with their pasts at the same time, starting fresh.

Nick: Look out, world.

Sharon: What's going on? Why are you being so mysterious about what happened at the ranch?

Adam: I told you last night not to go anywhere.

Sharon: I just went for a little walk this morning.

Adam: To my father's, of all places. Why?

Sharon: Um, I don't know. Was it an accident?

Adam: No.

Sharon: It was arson? My gosh, who would do that? How would they get on the property?

Adam: We can't be bothered with that right now. What we need to figure out is a story for you, where you were last night, and what you were doing.

Sharon: You think they're gonna blame me for this?

Adam: I'm not certain if they have anyone to blame yet, but if you tell them that you were here all night passed out, drunk, unaware of anything going on... well, you're in trouble.

Sharon: But that's the truth.

Adam: You're gonna need something better than the truth.

Sharon: Like what?

(Car pulls up)

Sharon: Adam.

(Knock on door)

Chris: All right, there's a flight in a couple of hours and I think I can make it.

Paul: Chris, I-I was just thinking, um, you know, I have colleagues in California that I can have do the research for me. Wh-why don't I talk to them?

Chris: No one's more motivated than I am.

Paul: That's true.

Chris: I-is there a reason that you would want someone else to do it?

Paul: Um, I think the timing's a consideration. You've got this whole case to deal with and, uh, I think it's pretty obvious that Phyllis is gonna fight you hard on it.

Chris: I was sucked into an ill-advised argument. Don't think for a minute that I would drop the ball--

Paul: Chris, Chris, it's more than just an argument between you and Phyllis. I mean, there is a reason that you've been battling for decades, and I think it taps into your core convictions and your values. That's what you feel is under attack, and that's why I think you just can't let it go.

Chris: I can do both... because my belief in you is another one of my core convictions. Paul, I plan to be by your side every step of this fight, just like I know you would do for me.

Paul: Uh...

Chris: Right?

Paul: I can't support you in this lawsuit, Chris. I told you that already.

Chris: I was trying to, um, explain to you the values I'm defending, like fairness and justice. Are you gonna tell me that those aren't your values?

Paul: No, I understand where you're coming from. I do. And I understand why it's so important to you.

Chris: (Sighs)

Paul: But from someone who loves you... I think you've lost perspective. What good do you think will come out of this? I mean, really? Some sort of vindication? Do you really think it's worth all the pain it's gonna cause... all the pain it's already caused?

Chris: (Sighs)

Avery: (Sighs)

[Avery daydreaming]

Nick: Why don't you take the rest of the day off?

Avery: Ohh, you again. You know, some of us still have jobs to do.

Nick: Well, you don't have to do that at your office, do you? We could have a picnic. We could go to an orchard, pick actual fruit off the trees.

Avery: Where they have caramel apples?

Nick: Oh, yeah, and hot cider. I'll lay a blanket in the grass. You can bring your briefcase, review your briefs.

Avery: I think I might be too distracted.

(Door opens)

Avery: Mm.

Phyllis: Nick.

Avery: (Gasps)

Avery: Phyllis, I'm so sorry.

Avery: (Exhales slowly)

Phyllis: Hey.

Noah: Hey.

Phyllis: How long have you been working here?

Noah: I don't know. What time is it?

Phyllis: (Chuckles) It's your first day. Wow.

Noah: Yeah. What do you want?

Phyllis: Uh, nothing now. Um, I want to talk to your dad.

Noah: Okay.

Nick: All right, what's up?

Phyllis: Um...

Nick: Did you follow me here?

Phyllis: Uh, no. Uh, I came here to talk to Leslie.

Nick: About the divorce?

Phyllis: No. The divorce is not my top priority right now. Christine is suing me. This is, like, the zombie case, you know? It never dies, it just comes back in more disgusting forms.

Nick: Then what did you want to talk about?

Phyllis: Um... um, are you--are you-- this--are you-- are you gonna do this thing with my sister?

Nick: (Sighs) I don't want to have this conversation.

Phyllis: No, I just... are you trying to punish me? Is that what it is? Are you angry about the thing that happened with Ronan? Because all that says is that you still care. We're tied to each other. We'll always be tied to each other, and filing for divorce isn't gonna change that, and sleeping with my sister isn't gonna change that.

Nick: Phyllis--

Phyllis: We should be working on ways to heal, not hurt each other.

Nick: Noah. Keep the change.

Noah: (Chuckles) Thanks, Dad.

Phyllis: We can get past this. We--we always do.

Nick: Not this time.

(Knock on door)

(Knock on door)

(Footsteps walking away)

Sharon: (Exhales slowly) Who was it?

Adam: Guy in a suit, probably an investigator. Yep, fire department.

Sharon: Oh, my gosh. Um... okay, wh-what can I tell them? D-did anyone else see me last night?

Adam: Not that I know of.

Sharon: (Exhales slowly) Nick's gonna use this. He's gonna use this to try to take Faith away from me or stick me back in Fairview.

Adam: That wouldn't surprise me.

Sharon: I don't have any way of defending myself. After the way I lied about Victor's death and the prenup, no one is gonna believe I didn't do this, not even Noah.

Adam: Look, we just take this one thing at a time, all right? What we need to do is we need to get you out of here until you are prepared to start answering people's questions.

Sharon: Where am I gonna go?

Adam: Well, I have an idea. I need to go check on it, but in the meantime, you're gonna stay here. You are not gonna answer the phone. You will not answer the door. Don't go for any more walks.

Sharon: Adam. You told me before that when everything went to hell, I shouldn't come to you... so why are you doing this?

Adam: You don't have anyone else.

Chelsea: Hi. Look who decided to stop by after you left.

Jeff: Um, we just heard the terrible news. We're so sorry for your loss.

Adam: Thanks.

Anita: Anytime you're busy with work, Adam, you just call us and we will drop everything to come and keep Chelsea company.

Adam: I'll keep that in mind.

Chelsea: Well, we were just on our way out. Lunch? (Chuckles)

Adam: Oh. I'm not gonna be able to make lunch today after all.

Chelsea: What?

Adam: Yeah, I had an obligation, and it just-- I didn't think you were that enthusiastic about lunch anyway.

Chelsea: Well, I-I changed my mind, and I was really looking forward to it.

Anita: Oh, we'll take you to lunch.

Jeff: Sure.

Adam: Um, I can hurry things along and try and join you at lunch.

Jeff: Okay. Where are we headed?

Chelsea: The club?

Anita: Wonderful.

Adam: I will hurry.

Chelsea: You better.

Anita: Come on, Sweetie. I feel sorry for you.

Adam: (Sighs)

Jeff: They've got our table ready.

Chelsea: And they know that we're expecting Adam to join us?

Jeff: They'll bring him right to us.

Chelsea: You know what? I might just call him and see if he wants us to order him something.

Anita: Oh, Honey, don't interrupt him in the middle of his meeting. Come on.

Chelsea: Okay.

(Knock on door)

Noah: Mom? You home? Mom?

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

Nikki: You're asking your husband to betray his brother.

Victoria: Billy knows how important this is to me.

Eden: I think I'm remembering more about the night Ricky died.

Adam: Sharon?

Noah: What are you doing here?
