Adam: Foundation damage? So, Dylan is sure about that?

Sharon: Yep. Which will tack more time onto the project.

Adam: Well, Faith will love that. She's a huge fan of Dylan.

Sharon: She is, but I think she's gonna get tired of having takeout every night at my house. I'm thinking maybe I will set up a microwave or a crock-pot. Even though he's making progress on the roof, it's still freezing in there.

Adam: Well, you should go someplace warm.

Sharon: Like Tahiti?

Adam: Like Tahiti. That is an option. Or my place. The offer still stands. You can stay there.

Neil: All right, Leslie. I just need you to relax, all right? You're safe with me. And whatever you need to say -- hey, look at me. All right? Whatever is troubling you, I am here.

Leslie: Okay. Um...only thing that mattered for so long was law school, working for Vance, doing my job. I knew moving here was -- I knew it was risky, you know? The type of place to make you want to settle down. Make a life. Just be happy.

Neil: Yeah, I understand that. And you can be. Whatever has you scared, you're tougher. All right? And when you don't feel that way, I am here to back you up, but you have to let me in.

Leslie: It's just I've been covering for so long, Neil. It's -- it's kind of hard to let it go.

Neil: Okay. Let me help get it started. Tell me... who Valerie is.

Chloe: Neil and Jack are all over this visual twist.

Chelsea: You can't just add a twist for twist's sake.

Chloe: No, it has to be organic. Well, you know Gloria's gonna want the peplum.

Chelsea: Well, modern version -- right here.

Chloe: Providing butt camouflage is an act of sisterhood.

Chelsea: It's true.

Chloe: [Groans] Torn. I would really love some customers to be in here so I don't have to continue to live in poverty, but relieved because I'm the jerk who agreed to cover Kevin and Eden while they're at home stuck with the flu. Ooh, are you gonna tip me? Go ahead.

Chelsea: [Chuckles] No. I got this vintage book from Trumbles with this great Avedon fashion photography, and I think I left it in my suite. Um... I'm gonna get it. I'll be really fast.

Chloe: Okay, well, in the meantime, I'm gonna call and make sure that "D" doesn't have cooties from Kevin. You know that he is a bigger baby than she is, and I cannot handle both of them being sick.

Chelsea: Your brain is always on your kid. It's gonna be like that for me soon, isn't it?

Chloe: Bliss and terror all at once. That is motherhood.

Chelsea: I'm gonna be a mom.

Chloe: And Adam is gonna be a dad. So, have you come up with your genius way to keep him from knowing that?

Sharon: You know I can't move in with you.

Adam: Because?

Sharon: Because you and I are not having that kind of relationship right now.

Adam: This isn't a relationship thing. This would be your own wing. I would stay 10 to 20 feet away from you at all times, like a gentleman.

Sharon: And when Nick flips out and refuses to let Faith come over, visit, sleep over?

Adam: I would reason with him. Yeah, that sounded pretty stupid coming out of my mouth.

Sharon: Yeah, really. Reason with him. Adam, um... Nick knows that you and I are close again.

Adam: Yes. I'm well aware. He stopped by and pulled his whole marking-of-the-territory, mother-of-my-child routine. It was excruciatingly intimidating.

Sharon: Well, he did file for sole custody once and won. I'm not gonna give him the chance to do that ever again.

Nick: Sit down.

Avery: Okay.

Nick: Can I get you a doctor?

Avery: No, no, no. It's a new car, Nick. How could the brakes just go out like that? I mean, I could have killed somebody.

Nick: No, you did the perfect thing. You guided it right off the road.

Avery: You know, I've been so wrapped up in this case and my personal life, I never let car maintenance go. Somebody could have died.

Dylan: It wasn't wear and tear. Somebody tampered with your brakes.

Leslie: Valerie is me. She's who I used to be.

Neil: Okay. Okay, good. Good. You're doing great. Come on.

Leslie: Tyler and I -- we changed our names many, many years ago. He used to be Davis. Sometimes I almost forget.

Neil: So, you -- you both changed your names. Why'd you do that?

Leslie: Our father. Neil, he -- he's in prison for murder. Valerie and Davis lived through so much -- police and a trial and just, God, so much scandal. It's just not who we wanted to be. Neil, to have real lives and careers and futures, we just -- we had to erase the past.

Neil: How old were you?

Leslie: In our teens. I mean, I changed my name before college. Not something an attorney needs hanging around her neck.

Neil: You told me because you trust me, right? So now I need you to trust me enough to tell me the rest. The past explains why you're so protective of your privacy, but you're not just private. You're terrified. What else is there that has you so scared?

Nick: Dylan, are you sure someone messed with her brakes?

Dylan: The link to the master cylinder -- clean slice, no fraying. Whoever did this didn't even try to make it look like an accident.

Nick: [Sighs] I'm calling the GCPD.

Dylan: What's going on? Who did this?

Avery: I have no idea.

Dylan: Any cases where you might have pissed off the wrong person?

Avery: A defense attorney with enemies? I mean, yeah, victims' families hate me. Clients I couldn't get free hate me. Anyone I may have implicated hates me. Did anyone say to me, "Watch your back and your brakes," through the years? No. No. No one.

Dylan: What about recent cases? Something fresh?

Avery: No. No. Everything is corporate. Nobody's gonna try to kill me over a contract.

Dylan: You've always been good at reading people. Anybody you've come across strike you the wrong way? Edgy? Angry?

Nick: What about this case in Milwaukee with the Innocence Foundation?

Avery: Domestic homicide. DNA was mishandled. He didn't get a fair trial. The appeal is set for next week.

Dylan: Do you think the guy's innocent?

Avery: I wouldn't defend him if I didn't.

Dylan: If this is the only case you have, you can't write anything off as coincidence right now.

Nick: If Dylan is right, it sounds like someone doesn't want this murder conviction overturned.

Sharon: I'm really sorry that Nick went to you when he saw us together. I told him that that was none of his business.

Adam: Faith is his daughter. He has absolutely no reason to trust me, but he should trust you. When he threatens to get in between you two, it irks me. I was there. I was in between you and Faith. I hated myself for it. But since then [Sighs] I have gained quite a bit of insight on what it's like to lose a child. Nicholas should know better. But it's his default position. When he sees us together, he puts Faith in the middle. That will never change, whether or not you're staying at my place or not.

Sharon: I'm not gonna lose another second with her.

Adam: Nor should you, but your place is in no condition to live in. You need to stay somewhere. I have room. It's only temporary. I don't see how Nicholas could object to this.

Sharon: Well, and then it's not just the issue of Nick.

Adam: Oh, you're afraid I'd be too clever, charming, witty, ruggedly handsome, however could you resist me?

Sharon: I'm not sure I could. But there's Chelsea, and she just moved out, and it might be --

Adam: Chelsea did move out. That's right. She left me. She left the house. So there's even more room there. So my offer stands, and I meant what I said. I would give you your space. I would basically completely ignore you until I saw you at work.

Sharon: It would be a relief not to have to rent a room at this place again. [Sighs] Okay, fine. I'm moving in with you.

Adam: Okay. Done deal. You're moving in.

Sharon: [Chuckles]

Adam: You're doing this today?

Sharon: I can't. I promised Faith that I would take her on a hike.

Adam: A hike? It's freezing outside.

Sharon: I know, but we're all gonna be all bundled up.

Adam: All two of you are gonna be bundled up?

Sharon: I mean including Dylan. See, Faith invited Dylan. I'm really just a tagalong.

Adam: That makes sense. She is his biggest fan. You know what? More hikes with him, please, 'cause the longer he takes to get this job done, the longer you're stuck at my place.

Sharon: Being ignored by you.

Adam: Relentlessly.

Avery: Okay. Thank you. If you, uh, think of anything else --

Dylan: I appreciate that. Bye. Thanks.

Nick: Anything?

Avery: That was the angry mother of an assault victim from Joliet. She passed away two years ago, left no family behind.

Dylan: Jalowsky has a business now. Squeaky clean.

Nick: This Marrabi guy has been in China teaching English the last few years.

Avery: So, so much for someone having a grudge against me.

Nick: Which brings us back to your case in Milwaukee.

Avery: Okay, you think somebody doesn't want my client free so much that they would cut my brakes?

Dylan: They didn't even try to make it look like an accident. Maybe this was a warning.

Nick: Next time, if there's another time, the message might be stronger.

Avery: What are you guys doing? Are you trying to get me to walk away from my case?

Nick: If you walk away, we know you're alive.

Avery: Okay, if somebody is resorting to intimidation and attempted murder, which is what this is, then clearly I'm not wrong about my client. Gus Rogan has spent 12 years in jail. I'm not gonna let him spend another day because I got scared.

Nick: Then let's go back to attempted murder. Do you really want someone to get another shot at you?

Avery: Nick, I'm fine.

Dylan: First thing to figure out is if this has to do with the Innocence Foundation case. Who's got a dog in this fight? What about the victim's family?

Avery: There's two kids. They went to live with an aunt in California. They're not close. There's no one invested.

Nick: What about the defendant? Did he get on the wrong side of anyone?

Avery: Okay, Gus was not exactly an upstanding citizen before the conviction, but, what, 12 years later somebody still wants him in lockup and they're willing to hurt me to do it? That doesn't make any sense.

Nick: So, if you're right about this guy and he's innocent, the killer's still out there.

Dylan: Could be he's the one who doesn't want you digging.

Nick: A lot of people are interested in this. Case is getting a lot of press.

Avery: Yeah, I know. Leslie Michaelson, Congressman Wheeler, even your dad asked me about it.

Nick: Wheeler?

Avery: Mm-hmm. Yeah, the victim worked on his campaign. He testified against my client.

Nick: Dad said he was asking questions because he knew someone who would want to hire you.

Dylan: You buy it?

Nick: My dad's not into full disclosure. There might be more to his interest. What about Leslie?

Avery: We just talked about it lawyer-to-lawyer.

Dylan: Did she ask you out of the blue?

Avery: She wanted to know about time commitments and pro-bono work. Actually, she did ask me a lot of specific questions about the case. And she knew a lot about it.

Leslie: I'm terrified of him being back out on the streets.

Neil: But he's locked up. You're safe.

Leslie: Yeah, for now. He managed to get an appeal.

Neil: What about Wheeler? How does he figure in all of this?

Leslie: What?

Neil: Congressman Wheeler. He knows your real name.

Leslie: Yeah, yeah. He, um...he testified against my father.

Neil: So, then, he wants to keep your dad in jail, too. That means you both are on the same side, but it sure didn't seem that way when you two were talking.

Leslie: No, see, we have the same goal, but just different agendas. Wheeler just thinks his credibility is at stake. He wants Tyler and me to testify in front of the appellate court. And we do that, he knows our new identities, our new lives. And if he somehow manages to go free on the streets, he knows exactly where Tyler and I are. We're right in his cross hairs.

Neil: All right, um... the thing that I don't get is, why was Wheeler a witness at the trial?

Leslie: He, um, he knows the victim. She was, um... worked on his campaign.

Neil: He knew the vic-- is that true?

Leslie: Yeah. Yeah, it's true. It's just not the whole truth.

Neil: So, then, what is it? Hey. You have to trust me with this, okay? You have to trust me.

Leslie: [Sighs] I testified at the trial, too.

Neil: Against your father, right? Why? Did you see what he did?

Leslie: Yes. Yes, I saw him standing over the lifeless body of the victim... my mother.

Neil: Oh. Say no more. Shh.

Leslie: [Sighs]

Sharon: Faith, Mommy's here. Hey. What's wrong? Where's Faith?

Dylan: She's upstairs with the nanny. She's fine.

Police Officer: I'll give you guys a call if I need any more, from either of you.

Avery: Thank you. Thank you.

Sharon: What happened?

Avery: Uh, someone tampered with my brakes. They think it might have something to do with a case I'm working on.

Sharon: And someone would try to hurt you?

Dylan: Or scare her, maybe.

Avery: Well, I don't scare easily. But I'm fine.

Sharon: Okay. Where's Nick?

Avery: He went up to the main house to see if Victor might know something.

Sharon: About this? Okay, well, what am I saying? Victor always knows something about everything. Dylan, you don't have to go with us. Maybe Avery shouldn't be alone right now.

Avery: Oh, uh, you had plans?

Sharon: Just to go on a hike. You know, find some deer.

Avery: Oh. Oh, I didn't -- I didn't realize. I mean, I knew you were working on the house --

Dylan: Faith and I are buddies now.

Sharon: Yeah, he might be her first crush, actually, but I'll just explain it to her.

Avery: No. No, you should go. I actually -- there's someplace that I have to go.

Dylan: Where? You don't have a car.

Avery: I know. It's a case. And I'm gonna take a taxi.

Dylan: I don't think you should be riding around.

Avery: I'm just gonna go straight there, and I'm gonna come back, and it's safe.

Sharon: Why don't you just wait until Nick gets back here, and then he can go with you?

Avery: No. You know what? Go find your -- your deer. And I will -- I will take care of this on my own.

Victor: I'm surprised you came by, Son. Something wrong?

Nick: Yeah. Someone messed with Avery's car -- her brakes. She's fine.

Victor: Are you serious? Did you call the police?

Nick: Yeah, they're at my place now. Avery's giving them a statement.

Victor: Well, thank God she's safe.

Nick: For now. Someone's trying to send a message, Dad. We think it has something to do with this Innocence Foundation case she's working on -- the one you were asking a bunch of questions about.

Victor: Yeah, I asked a favor for a friend.

Nick: Yeah, Congressman Wheeler. I know he's not just your friend, Dad. You're his biggest donor.

Victor: What's your point, Son?

Nick: Wheeler testified at Avery's client's trial. Now he's in Genoa City, hanging around. He confronted Avery twice. There's obviously a connection.

Victor: You're implying that Congressman Wheeler may be responsible for cutting the brake lines on your girlfriend's car?

Nick: Dad, there is something going on -- something bad. And I need to know what you know. I need to know why you're doing Wheeler favors.

Victor: In other words, you think he has something on me. Is that what you're saying?

Neil: Congressman Wheeler.

Wheeler: Hello, Neil. What can I do for you?

Neil: Actually, Sir, I'd like to ask you to respect Leslie's decision not to testify at her father's appeal. This is a very painful matter for her, and I'm sure you understand that.

Wheeler: I understand it's a difficult time for Leslie. But I'm a public servant, and if I can keep a violent criminal off the street, that's for the public good.

Neil: Right. So, you testified against him once before, didn't you? I would think that your stature is enough to keep him in prison. 'Cause, you see, Leslie wants to be a private citizen. And you, my friend, keep putting her at risk by asking her to testify. So, I'm gonna ask you once, very nicely. Stop. Am I making myself clear?

[Door closes]

Leslie: [Chuckles] Oh. Oh, my goodness. I need to stop drinking so much coffee. Are you here to see Jack, too?

Avery: You, actually.

Leslie: What's up?

Avery: I could have killed someone today, or myself. Someone cut the brakes on my car.

Leslie: Oh, my goodness. Why? Who would do that?

Avery: Well, I was hoping you could tell me.

Nick: Look, Dad, whatever Wheeler has on you...

Victor: He has nothing on me, Son.

Nick: ...I will not have Avery end up as collateral damage in one of your schemes.

Victor: Collateral damage?

Nick: Yeah, you come up with these plans to get what you want, and ultimately, someone always gets hurt.

Victor: Son, I think you're overestimating my power.

Nick: The problem is you don't care what happens to these little people.

Victor: Why do you say that?

Nick: How about that kid Mason? At Newman Enterprises? He was working for you, right? Spying. Adam catches him, fires him. Now that kid's out of a job. Doesn't that bother you?

Victor: That bothers me. Don't like it. But, then, people who work for me know they're taking a risk.

Nick: Avery understood the risk of working for you, too, but she and her bad brakes shouldn't end up wrapped around a tree.

Victor: I think you're being overdramatic now.

Nick: I'm trying to get you to understand how much this means to me. What if it were Mom...and she were in danger like this? How did you feel when Victoria was kidnapped down in Miami, Dad?

Victor: All right, Son, I get your point. So what do you want me to do?

Nick: You know something. You were involved in this. I don't know how much, and I don't want to know. But if something happens to this woman that I love, I'm holding you responsible.

Victor: Oh, the woman you love?

Nick: Yeah, I love her, Dad. And I'm not gonna let anything happen to her.

Victor: Nothing will happen to her, okay?

Nick: So, you can make that promise?

Victor: I will take care of things. Don't you worry.

Nick: A second ago you told me I was overestimating your power. Now you're telling me you have this all under control.

Victor: Son, leave it alone. I will take care of things, okay? I have to handle it. All right?

Nick: Okay.

Victor: And if I ask you something in return?

Nick: Sure. What is it?

Victor: Will you be the best man at my wedding?

Leslie: I don't know why anybody would try to scare you like that.

Avery: My Innocence Foundation case, the one you knew so much about.

Leslie: Old defense-attorney habits die hard. I read about the case. I had questions. That's all.

Avery: Honestly, Leslie, I think you're more than just curious. What I need to know is why.

Neil: Hey. Am I interrupting?

Avery: No. Contract issue. I just had some questions.

Neil: Get what you need?

Avery: Not yet, but we are close. You'll get back to me?

Leslie: Of course.

Avery: Great. I appreciate it. But, as always, the clock is ticking. Sooner rather than later would be best.

Chelsea: [Sighs]

[Chelsea remembering]

Chelsea: Is that my shirt?

Sharon: Um...well, I -- I found this in the dry-cleaning bag in the closet.

Adam: Chelsea. Chelsea, what did you have to tell me?

Chelsea: I wanted to give you something.

Chloe: Chels. Yo.

Chelsea: What?

Chloe: The book you went to get?

Chelsea: Sharon's moving in with Adam. Into my house. Into my bed. He bought that house for me, and Sharon is moving into it.

Chloe: Okay. Listen. He would kick her out in two seconds. All you have to do is tell him about the baby.

Chelsea: No, no, no. I'm not using this pregnancy to get Adam back.

Chloe: Ha. You're not above that. Neither am I. That's why we get along so well.

Chelsea: No. Adam couldn't give me the marriage that I wanted because he's a selfish jerk. He's not going to stop being a selfish jerk just because I'm carrying something very important to him in my uterus. Even if I wanted Adam back, which I don't, I would need to know that he loved me, like really loved me, for the right reasons.

Chloe: Hey, listen. I'm not telling you to backslide into happily ever after, okay? I like you too much for that. But I did see you cooing over Billy and Johnny. You were happy that he has such a great dad, and you thought that Adam was a decent enough guy the first time you got knocked up.

Chelsea: [Laughing] Yeah. Adam. Adam would be a great dad. Yeah. He would be a great father. He would forget that the baby existed every time Sharon had to blow her nose, because Sharon is his priority -- always will be. Oh, and then there's Newman. And then Newman will be a priority. And then the baby will always come in third to Adam, and I know what that's like, and I'm not doing that to my child. [Sighs] But Adam's neglect can never break this baby's heart if they never realize that they're related. So...maybe there's no way around it. Maybe I need to leave town.

Victor: Was that too extreme of a request? For you to be my best man at the wedding?

Nick: I just -- you caught me off guard. You know, we were arguing, and... honestly, we haven't agreed on much lately.

Victor: Certainly not as it regards Newman.

Nick: Well, you've made it clear that Newman Enterprises is all that matters.

Victor: That's not quite true, Son.

Nick: Look, Dad, people in life sometimes change their priorities. They decide they want to spend more time with their families and less time at work. The problem with you is you can't make the distinction between the two.

Victor: Well, let me make the distinction right now. I don't like the fact that you left Newman. I really don't. And I'm not very happy about your present avocation of running a dive bar. I think it's a waste of your talent, but... be that as it may... you're my son. I'd like you to be my best man in the wedding.

Nick: Even now?

Victor: Even now. I mean, would I rather you fought Jack and Adam to regain control of our company? Sure. But you won't, and I understand that. But you're my son. You're your mother's son. She and I are getting married. It's very important for her. She needs your support right now -- everyone's support right now. So, if you could be at my side when she and I get married for the -- I don't know many times...

Nick: [Laughs]

Victor: ...That would mean a hell of a lot to all of us, okay?

Nick: It'd mean a lot to me, too. I'd be honored to be your best man.

Dylan: Oh, you see this right here? These old scrapes? These are rub marks from where a buck scraped his antlers.

Sharon: Wow! So there are deer around here.

Dylan: Yeah, these are old, but they're definitely around here.

Sharon: Mm. These elms are so beautiful.

Faith: Elf? There are elves, too?

Sharon: Elves?

Dylan: What?

Sharon: Uh, yeah. Absolutely. There are elves, too. Um, this is their tree. It's a magic elf tree.

Dylan: Hel-- hello. Elves, can you hear me?

Sharon: Shh.

Dylan: What?

Sharon: They're nocturnal. That means that they're asleep during the day, but they come out at night.

Dylan: Oh, really? I thought we were actually gonna see an elf. Sorry. I got excited.

Faith: Come at night one time and say hi then.

Dylan: You know what, Faith? That's a great idea. And you're awesome.

Chloe: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Poof. Just like that? You're gonna leave?

Chelsea: I've always been ready to leave. Adam was the one that couldn't tear himself away from Newman and Sharon. I should have just pulled the trigger back then and just started over.

Chloe: Okay, not to be all about me, me, me, but what about me? We are a team. We're a company. We're friends. I don't even like people. I hate them, actually.

Chelsea: Me too.

Chloe: Okay, so, then, haven't I been doing all the things that friends do for one another? I mean, I put you up. I'm your cheerleader. I will hold your hair back when you have morning sickness. That's how good of a friend I am.

Chelsea: You are, and you can do all of those things over the phone or over the internet -- minus the hair part.

Chloe: Yes, I can. And I would. But, Chelsea, I mean, come on. Do you really want to keep running? That's what you've been doing your entire life. You said that you hated that your mom was always dragging you around. Don't you want better for your kid?

Wheeler: Tell her I'll make the luncheon if I can. I determine priorities. You schedule appointments.

[Cell phone thuds]

Victor: Your constituents clamoring for your attention? For your return? You've been ignoring them for too long. Is that it?

Wheeler: All I need is a phone to do my job, Victor.

Victor: Mm-hmm. Do it elsewhere, okay?

Wheeler: Excuse me?

Victor: You're beginning to annoy me... and my family. You have made threats. You pose a danger. And I will no longer mollify your outsized politician's ego, nor put money into your pocket, so get out of Genoa City. You got that?

Wheeler: You seem to have forgotten why I came to Genoa City in the first place.

Victor: I know damn well why you came here. Because your poor, wretched daughter died on the living-room floor of Jack Abbott's house. A drug addict. A prostitute. Now, what do you think the voters are gonna think about you as a father of that poor, wretched girl? And what will they find out when they start digging into why you're so interested in keeping an innocent man behind bars?

Nick: Where'd you go? I tried to call you.

Avery: I know. I know. I needed to go see Leslie face-to-face and gauge her reaction about -- about my brakes.

Nick: Did you get anything out of her?

Avery: Well, no, she didn't say anything, but she definitely had a reaction to what I was asking her about. Did the police take my car for evidence?

Nick: Yeah. They're gonna have it examined by their forensic people.

Avery: Thank you. And I'm guessing that Victor said nothing.

Nick: Dad said he would look into it, and with him, that means something. But for the time being, I really think you should work from here.

Avery: As in this is my new office?

Nick: You got it. Just to be safe.

Avery: Okay. Well, listen, my car may be out of commission, but my job has not changed. I have got to go to that hearing in Milwaukee.

Nick: No, you don't. And you can't.

Chloe: Your mom was, like, the worst role model in the entire world. You are going to be an amazing designer, with an account at Jabot. And you want your buddy Chloe to have a job and an income and not end up in debtors' prison.

Chelsea: I don't think they have those anymore. And how did we get back to you?

Chloe: Yeah, that's weird how that always happens, isn't it?

Chelsea: Listen, we can video conference, okay? We can e-mail -- all of that. We went through all this stuff when Adam and I were initially moving.

Chloe: Yeah. That's before you were an in-house designer. Do I need to describe to you what "In-house designer" means?

Chelsea: Chloe, what do you want me to do? Do you want me to hide behind a potted plant for nine months?

Chloe: Mm-hmm.

Chelsea: Carry around a purse and a jacket in front of my stomach, all while watching Sharon and Adam play snuggle bunny? I have to get away, okay? At least until the baby's born.

Chloe: Okay, but can we get back to me?

Chelsea: No, listen. You can be in charge of the day-to-day. I can be the creative genius that needs to be in a foreign country for creative inspiration.

Chloe: [Sighs]

Chelsea: Just don't, okay? Please. You have to let me do this. If you're my friend, you'll let me do this. I'm gonna go check on flights. Excuse me.

Chloe: [Sighs] [Sighs] Hey. It's really me. I need your help.

Wheeler: You're serious.

Victor: You bet I'm serious, Marcus.

Wheeler: Nothing more to say, then.

Adam: Looks like you and the Congressman aren't too chummy right now. This must be about his late daughter, the call girl that you hired to go after Jack. It is amazing how dirty little things like that tend to resurface. The threats, backstabbing, maybe even a little blackmail.

Victor: You enjoy your conspiracy theories, all right?

Leslie: [Clears throat]

Neil: I spoke to Congressman Wheeler.

Leslie: About what?

Neil: About what? About leaving you alone.

Leslie: Neil, why did you do that?

Neil: I told you. I'll be damned if I let anything ever happen to you. If he wants to hammer at you to get to your father, he's gonna have to get through me. And that ain't happening. Here.

Nick: Look, someone didn't just mess with your car. They tried to kill you. And if this has anything to do with Rogan, you absolutely cannot go back to Milwaukee until we figure out who is behind this.

Avery: And when is that gonna be? A man has spent 12 years -- 12 years -- in a dark prison cell. How am I supposed to help him if I'm hiding in a corner?

Nick: I don't care about that guy. I care about you, and if you're so hell-bent on helping him, how are you gonna do that from an E.R. or even worse?

Avery: No, no, no, no. Don't try and scare me.

Nick: I'm trying to talk some sense into you, so if it takes fear, Avery, then so be it.

Avery: Nick, I have spent most of my career in small locked rooms with convicted murderers. Okay? If I let fear dictate my life, I wouldn't have gone near the Innocence Foundation. Sweetie, I love you for trying to protect me, but this is such a huge part of who I am, and I can't just stop doing what I know is right.

Nick: Okay. Well, I'm not gonna stop trying to talk you out of it.

Avery: [Sighs]

Nick: I love you. And I don't know what I would do if anything happened to you.

Avery: [Sighs]

Dylan: It's getting dark. We should head back, even though it's so beautiful out here.

Sharon: Yeah. I know. Everything is so lovely when it's covered in snow.

Dylan: Genoa City is definitely growing on me. And you have an elf tree. Can't just get those anywhere.

Sharon: It's true.

Dylan: You know -- oh!

Sharon: [Laughs] Hey! Did you do that?

Faith: No! The elf!

Sharon: Oh, really? Look over there.

Faith: Hey!

Sharon: That's the same elf!

Faith: I'm gonna get you!

Sharon: I'm running! [Laughs] Aah!

Dylan: Sharon!

Sharon: Ow!

Dylan: Hey, hey, hey!

Sharon: Ow!

Dylan: Take it easy. You okay?

Sharon: I think I twisted it.

Dylan: Think you can walk?

Sharon: It hurts. I don't know. Ow. Hey. Wait. Where's Faith? Faith? Baby? Faith!

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

Dylan: I'm gonna go after Faith.

Sharon: Okay. Please find her. Please.

Carmine: Let me.

Lily: If -- if Cane's gonna work late tonight, then why shouldn't I?
