Lily: Come on in. So, I have the latest drawings for the fashion show that Chelsea drew.

Lauren: Great.

Lily: And they are incredible. Like this one -- it's my favorite.

Lauren: Oh, my goodness. This is a showstopper.

Lily: Right? It's like, even with everything she's going through, her work is just incredible.

Lauren: Well, it's crazy. Sometimes, in crisis...

Lily: Yeah, it's where the energy goes.

Lauren: Right.

Lily: And it looks like she's channeling all this stress into something creative and positive.

Lauren: I just wish that Chloe could find a way to do that, too.

Chloe: Have you seen Michael and Lauren anywhere?

Kevin: We literally just walked in.

Chloe: You know what? I'm really glad that they were free tight.

Kevin: Yeah, me, too. And if I haven't already said it, I'm, uh -- I'm really proud of you.

Chloe: For getting you out of the house?

Kevin: Yeah, for suggesting we have a night out. This is our first date night. Well, you know, since the wedding. And, by the way, my wife does look especially beautiful today.

Chloe: Oh! Look! It's Michael! Hi!

Abby: It's kind of bizarre.

Tyler: What, Vicki stumbling out of your brother's club?

Abby: I mean, she's entitled to let loose a little bit -- I mean, especially after the hellish time she's had with Billy -- but it's just not like her. I hope she's okay.

Tyler: Yeah, but, I mean, come on. The guy's a doctor. You know, he's probably just making sure she got home safe.

Abby: Yeah. Yeah, you're probably right. I'm worrying. [Chuckles] But she's obviously in good hands.

Stitch: Okay, um...

Victoria: [Groans]

Stitch: Uh, Victoria.

[Keys jingling]

Victoria: What is wrong with this thing? It's broken.

Stitch: Okay, we don't --

Victoria: Why is this broken?

Stitch: Yeah, listen. What -- what are we doing out here? The cab's on its way.

Victoria: [Sighs] It's cold out, okay? I just want to sit in my car and think. Is that all right with you?

Stitch: Thinking is overrated.

Victoria: I just want to figure out what comes next with me and Billy, now that we're separated. Right? We have signed papers.

Stitch: Yeah, I saw.

Victoria: So there's no turning back now, which is a good thing. It's very, very, very good.

Stitch: All right, well, look -- at least -- whoa, whoa, whoa. At least let me keep you company until the cab gets here.

Victoria: Why is this thing broken? It's a brand-new car.

Stitch: Here. Let me try. Let me try.

Victoria: No.

Stitch: Let me try.

Victor: Now put your "Queen on color." That's right.

Nikki: Johnny went right to sleep.

Victor: Well, we're just setting up.

Reed: [Sighs] Can we play video games instead?

Victor: [Chuckles]

Reed: Like I do with Billy?

Victor: [Chuckling] You want to play video games? You know something? Chess is a game of kings -- very old game -- almost thousands of years old. And you have to do a lot of thinking and use a lot of strategy to protect your kingdom -- you know, like you have to protect your family. And very few people can do all that, right?

Reed: Yeah.

Victor: You can play video games anytime, but right now, let's learn how to play chess, because this game you can play for the rest of your life, okay?

Chelsea: Hi.

Billy: Hey. What's up?

Chelsea: No offense, but you look like hell.

Billy: [Sighs] Well, what a coincidence -- I feel like hell.

Chelsea: Victoria?

Billy: How'd you guess?

Chelsea: You're playing with your wedding ring. I do it all the time -- dead giveaway.

Billy: You and your "Tells."

Chelsea: [Chuckles] Hey, you're the poker player.

Billy: Not today, at least.

[Knocks on table]

Billy: Not yet.

Chelsea: Sorry.

Billy: Mm. I'm the addict. It's not like you made me remember. The thought's always there. Have a seat.

Chelsea: It can't be that bad, Billy. It can't be as bad as you look.

Billy: [Scoffs] Yeah, maybe you're right. As bad as things have been this past year, it can't get much worse, can it?

Stitch: Okay, okay. All right. All right. Just look -- okay.

Victoria: Thank you so much for walking me to my car. Now you can go. Thanks.

Stitch: All right, hey, we're sharing the cab, remember?

Victoria: [Groans]

Stitch: Right? First your place. Then mine.

Victoria: No, you live two blocks from here, so I'm good. I don't need an escort.

Stitch: Vicki --

Victoria: I just need a few minutes to clear my head. Is that so much to ask?

Stitch: Okay, in your condition?

Victoria: [Groans] Doctor, I'm fine. Please let me go.

Stitch: All right, come on. Come on. Just -- just toss the keys.

Victoria: Why?

Stitch: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Why? Whoa, whoa, whoa! Whoa. All right. Just give them to me.

Victoria: I know what you're thinking. You're thinking that I'm not gonna wait for the cab, and I'm gonna get in my car, and I'm gonna try to get home on my own, but that's ridiculous. I know that I am in no shape to drive. I know that.

Stitch: You are in no shape to be alone, either.

Victoria: You know what I don't appreciate, Ben? I don't appreciate being told how I'm feeling. Yeah, I may have had a few drinks, but I am thinking more clearly than I have thought in months.

Chelsea: So, Victoria's still away with Johnny?

Billy: No, actually, she's back, and instead of things being better, it's all gone downhill.

Chelsea: I'm sorry. And I'm gonna stop saying, "I'm sorry." [Chuckles]

Billy: Thank you.

Chelsea: Mm-hmm.

Billy: So, "My marriage is in ruin" is my excuse. What's yours?

Chelsea: What do you mean?

Billy: Well, you're not looking quite well-rested yourself.

Chelsea: Oh, well, thanks, a lot for that. I've, um -- I've actually just been sketching nonstop. Tonight might even be an all-nighter.

Billy: Is that the real reason why you're so run-down? Or is it the search for Adam you and Victor are so obsessed with?

Lily: You know, I understand why Chelsea did what she did. It's, like, after Colin tried to kidnap Mattie and Charlie, I was on edge for weeks afterward, with a restraining order. And Chloe is no Colin -- not even close.

Lauren: But still it's caused a lot of friction between Chelsea and her, and I don't know. I mean, we -- it's making it very difficult for all of us to work together.

Lily: I understand, but we have to function as a team if this event's gonna be a success.

Lauren: You're right. You're right. Ooh! That reminds me. I got your e-mail with your advertising idea for my new boutique. It is fantastic. I sent it on to my marketing people, and I'm pretty sure they'll run with it.

Lily: Oh, good. I'm so glad.

Lauren: You know, with all my family's problems finally behind me, I'm making a fresh start -- you know, a new direction. Kind of like you and Cane with taking over the club. You're doing such a great job.

Lily: Aww, thank you. Yeah, I mean, you know, we had a little setback after the whole [Inhales deeply] Hostage crisis, but we're moving in the right direction now. We've been lucky.

Lauren: Luck? You kidding? You were the whiz at advertising at Jabot, and Cane, with his business acumen -- you're just -- you're the perfect fit.

Lily: Oh, I appreciate that. Yeah, I-I love working here. I think it's great. It fits me. But, uh, I can't really say the same for my husband.

Lauren: He's not enjoying the challenge here?

Lily: He seemed to be at first, but I think now that Victor has been dangling bigger and better challenges in front of his face, I don't know.

Victor: Now, this is a pawn, okay? Now, that's normally considered a low figure. He's like a soldier on the front lines in war. You know, he goes out here, and he takes all kinds of attacks. He takes the brunt of all the attacks, right?

Reed: Mm-hmm.

Victor: But if he's smart enough, and he moves into the enemy's territory all the way back here, he becomes a very powerful figure.

Reed: Just like in "Killer zombies" the video game. If they make it through the graveyard, their limbs come back.

Victor: [Chuckles]

Nikki: Well, I guess all these games aren't so different after all, are they?

Victor: Their limbs come back?!

[Doorbell rings]

Victor: Oh, my God. Wait a minute. Someone is at the door. You know that they've played this game for over 1,000 years? Cane.

Cane: Evening, Victor. Uh, I hope it's not a bad time.

Victor: Please, come in.

Cane: Thanks.

Victor: Not at all. Teaching my grandson how to play chess.

Cane: Ah, it's a great way to teach strategic thinking.

Victor: You bet.

Cane: Hello, Nikki.

Nikki: Hi, Cane. It's a nice surprise. You remember Reed, don't you?

Cane: How you doing, Mate? You good? Bam.

Nikki: Hey, why don't you and I go out in the kitchen and get some drinks?

Victor: He's gonna become a very good chess player.

Cane: Uh-huh.

Victor: Right, Reed?

Cane: So, I know you're flying to D.C. tomorrow to get grilled by the feds about Bonaventure so I dug up some information you might find useful.

Victor: Did you find out who set me up?

Cane: I'm close to seeing who set us both up, but what I need is for you and your lawyers to buy me some more time.

Victor: Have a seat.

Cane: Thank you.

Victor: [Sighs] What have you got?

Cane: When I was looking at expanding Chancellor's biotech division, I went and met with colleagues in research and development. I wanted to ask them if there was any particular companies I should acquire. And then you have your online, uh, illegal-drug-selling debacle.

Victor: Right.

Cane: So I go back through my notes to see if any of the people I met with may have steered me in the direction of Bonaventure.

Victor: Ah. And?

Cane: One guy. He's disappeared. Phone is disconnected. Moved from his apartment. No forwarding address.

Victor: Why am I not surprised?

Cane: Now I'm trying to track him down so I can see if he directly fed me the information.

Victor: Or they fed it to him so that he would put Bonaventure on your radar.

Cane: And doing so planted a time bomb set to go off when you inherited Katherine’s company.

Victor: Yeah.

Cane: Hmm.

Victor: We should play chess one day.

Cane: You think I would stand a chance against you?

[Both chuckle]

Victor: You never know. You know, once you, uh, find out who is behind all this, you just assume the position of C.E.O. of Chancellor.

Cane: Really? Funny thing is, though, I haven't really said that I'm interested in taking the job back.

Victor: Well, Cane, forgive me for saying so, but you don't seem disinterested, do you?

Cane: [Chuckles]

Victor: All right?

Cane: You have a very good trip, my friend.

Victor: Thank you. Let me take you to the door.

Cane: Thank you.

Abby: But you had no way of knowing dad's an expert boxer.

Tyler: Yeah, well, I got my first clue when he knocked me upside the head.

Abby: Wait. What? You said dad didn't punch you.

Tyler: Okay, he didn't, like, punch me -- officially punch me -- but he -- he just kind of swiped at me to make a point, you know?

Abby: Oh, that he could give you brain damage?

Tyler: Well, I wasn't covering myself, and that, right there, is the biggest mistake a fighter can make, so I actually respect him for it.

Abby: Well, dad's big on teaching people lessons, making them prove themselves -- not that you have anything to prove.

Tyler: Actually, I do.

Abby: Not to me.

Lauren: One second.

Chloe: Hi!

Lauren: [Chuckling] Hi! Hi, Sweet Girl. How are you? Nice to see you.

Abby: Good to see you.

Lauren: And congratulations are in order. You're engaged!

Abby: No.

Tyler: [Groans]

Lauren: No? Oh, I'm so sorry.

Abby: No, it's -- its fine. It was a slow day for the gossip press.

Tyler: Yeah, really slow.

Abby: A couple pictures of us walking down the street, and suddenly we are walking down the aisle.

Lauren: I certainly understand how disturbing that can be -- to be subject of rumor and innuendo. Been there. Sorry that happened to you. And, uh, anyway, have a good night being not engaged!

Abby: Thanks. [Chuckles]

Lauren: Hi! So sorry I'm late.

Chloe: Hi! Oh, please, don't worry about it. We were just talking about how great the fashion show is going to be...

Lauren: Oh, my goodness.

Chloe: ...And how excited I am to be working with Chelsea again.

Lauren: I am so glad to hear you say that.

Kevin: They've done great work together in the past. They're gonna do great work together again.

Chloe: Yeah. And I know it's -- it's complicated, but we're working on it, and I think that is what matters, right?

Lauren: Right.

Chloe: That's what fashion is about -- collaboration -- and no one has ever shared my vision like Chelsea does. I mean, we're a super team.

[All chuckle]

Michael: I don't have any luck with bartenders.

Lauren: No?

Michael: He doesn't seem to like our looks. I'm gonna go to the bar and order drinks. Uh, chardonnay?

Lauren: Lovely.

Michael: Mm.

Chloe: Pomegranate martini to match my dress.

Lauren: Ooh!

[All chuckle]

Michael: Milwaukee's finest for you?

Kevin: I think I'll come with.

Michael: All right.

Chloe: Hi.

Lauren: Hi. I'm so happy to hear you talk like that. You know, I was just with Lily, and we were going over the latest designs. Ohh!

Chloe: I know. They're just so great -- the ones we were looking at earlier.

Lauren: No, no, no, no. The new ones that were just sent over tonight. They are exquisite. I cannot wait to see them in person. You just must be so excited.

Chloe: There are new designs?

Chelsea: This fashion show has been taking up pretty much every waking minute.

Billy: Yeah, I'm sure it has, but I know you still believe Adam’s alive.

Chelsea: And you don't, so there's no reason in discussing it, okay?

Billy: Well, has there been anything new since the crazy homeless guy came forward? Said he saw Adam crawl out of a burning car. I mean, that's his story, right? Not that he's too reliable, from what you've told me.

Chelsea: Like I said -- nothing to discuss.

Billy: So, in other words, this is just wishful thinking on your part. There's no real reason to believe that Adam --

Chelsea: The man is still my husband, Billy.

Billy: I'm sorry. God, I didn't mean to sound --

Chelsea: Callous?

[Spoon clinks]

Billy: You didn't deserve that.

Chelsea: Look, the truth is, this isn't about me or about what happened to Adam. This is about you and what you're going through right now, so tell me. Why is your relationship with Victoria going downhill?

Billy: Well, I'd say getting a legal separation is definitely a step in the wrong direction.

Chelsea: Oh, my God. She --

Billy: Yeah, she had legal papers drawn up, and I signed them...to show her that I still love her.

Chelsea: I'm sorry -- run that by me again.

Billy: Victoria needs some time, and that's what I'm gonna give her, because I know how badly I screwed up. I mean, to be honest, I just wanted her to say that she changed her mind, and she wanted me to come home so we could work this out, but she didn’t. Here I am, wondering if things could get any worse.

Stitch: Here. Keys.

Victoria: No!

[Keys jingle]

Stitch: It's just -- I'm --

[Doors unlock]

Victoria: Oh, finally!

Stitch: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa! Okay. Okay. Okay. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on.

Victoria: What now?

Stitch: Look. Look, okay? I know you're stirred up about Billy, about those papers you signed, and while I want to believe that you'll just sit here quietly --

Victoria: Listen -- for the last time, I'm not driving anywhere, and if you think that I would, you don't know me very well.

Stitch: I know you well enough to know that you're hurt, angry, and very, very sad. Okay?

[Keys jingle]

[Keys clatter]

Victoria: Hey! You have no right to do that. What's wrong with you?

Stitch: Victoria.

Victoria: Really?! You want the keys so bad --

Stitch: Yeah, I do. I do. I do.

Victor: Now, sometimes, you have to let some pieces go in order to preserve your kingdom, right?

Nikki: He's giving you a hint, there. Remember, you're in check. Your king is in jeopardy. Unless you do something in this next turn to protect him, game over.

Victor: [Chuckles] You're a smart boy. That's exactly the move I would have made.

Nikki: Well, letting go can sometimes be a difficult concept.

Victor: [Chuckles] Now, let's talk about the end game.

Reed: It's about trapping the king.

Victor: That's right. It's called checkmate. Now, remember, the king is the heart of his empire.

Reed: And if you lose a king, everyone's lost.

Victor: If you lose the king, then you're in big trouble. So, remember, you have to use your -- your head. You have to think. You have to use strategy and tactics in order to preserve your kingdom, right?

Reed: Mm-hmm.

Victor: That's right.

[Cellophane rings]

Victor: Excuse me. I need to take that. I'll be right back.

Nikki: You're very lucky your grandfather can teach you.

Victor: What'd you find out?

Nikki: Told you this before, but he taught me how to play chess, and it was so hard for me. I couldn't get it.

Victor: Well, I'll be damned.

Nikki: Now I'm glad you can play.

Cane: Mm.

Lily: Wow. [Chuckling] I missed you, too.

Cane: Yeah? Did you have a busy day?

Lily: Mm. I did have a busy day. It was crazy. Chelsea has been cranking out all these designs for the fashion show, and they're all so incredible. Lauren and I can't even figure out which ones to use.

Cane: Uh-huh.

Lily: I know. I know. First-world-people problems. Um, oh, the electrician finally got us a bid on the chandelier. I think I have it here somewhere. Oh. What do you think? Is that too high?

Cane: I can't see it. My glasses are all fogged up.

Lily: You're so funny. You don't wear glasses.

Cane: Oh, so that's why I can't see it.

Lily: Oh, my God, you are crazy. How was your day? Where have you been?

Cane: Uh, my day was good. I had to go and see Victor. Uh, he has to go to Washington to answer some questions, so I, uh, had to give him some new information.

Lily: Oh. I'm sure he's very grateful for that.

Cane: Not half as grateful as I am.

Lily: [Chuckles]

[Both chuckle]

[Books crash]

Lily: [Chuckles]

[Both panting]

Chelsea: I think you're doing the right thing -- giving Victoria the space she needs.

Billy: You don't think it means she's done with me?

Chelsea: No. I think it means she needs to be sure before she makes any big decisions. I think it's a good sign, Billy. I really do. If she didn't love you -- if your marriage wasn't important to her, she wouldn't --

Billy: Chelsea. Listen, I know you're trying to help, but talking about it just makes it worse.

[Cell phone rings ]

Chelsea: Excuse me. Victor?

Victor: My P.I. managed to trace the last call you got from that mystery person.

Chelsea: Oh, my God. You found Adam? What did your investigator say? Where's Adam? Is he all right?

Victor: Apparently, the call pinged off a cell phone tower in New Orleans. Probably doesn't mean a damn thing -- most likely a wrong number.

Chelsea: I know in my heart it was him. We have to go to New Orleans.

Victor: Chelsea, hold your horses.

Chelsea: But, Victor --

Victor: As soon as my P.I. finds out something more definitive, we will follow up, all right?

Chelsea: [Sighs] Fine. I'll be waiting to hear from you. Thanks for letting me know.

Billy: Okay, is he alive, or isn't he? And what's this about New Orleans? Is Victor going?

Chelsea: Okay, I told you, Billy. I'm not gonna talk to you about this.

Billy: No. If you're right, and he's alive, I need to know. I have a right to know.

Chelsea: Maybe its better you don't know.

Billy: How the hell can you say that?

Chelsea: Because you're only out for revenge. You are obsessed, and it almost cost you and Adam your lives! Just let Victor and me investigate this, okay? You have more important things to worry about.

Stitch: [Sighs] Victoria.

Victoria: No, don’t. Don't say anything, okay? Especially don't say it was a mistake... because I'm not sorry that it happened.

Abby: It's not that I enjoy being --

Tyler: What, un-engaged?

Abby: I enjoy being with you -- end of story -- whether or not that involves a ring.

Tyler: Well, that's the right answer.

Abby: Not that being engaged would be any less...

Tyler: What? Less enjoyable?

Abby: It's just people keep talking about it, keep saying that we're engaged, and we're not, and -- and it's frustrating.

Tyler: Well, either way, it's something that should be our idea.

Abby: Exactly. And if that time comes...

Tyler: "If"?

Abby: Oh, it's not like we're talking about when -- like, actually getting...

Tyler: Well, what if we were?

Michael: Chloe's in a good mood.

Kevin: She's in a great mood.

Michael: I stand corrected. I'm glad to hear she's working things out with Chelsea.

Kevin: It's huge. Her whole life -- it's all coming together, despite the naysayers.

Michael: I hope you're not implying that I'm still one of them, because we've already had that conversation, Kevin, and I'm not -- I'm not in the mood for another three rounds of whether I'm sincere when I wish you well.

Kevin: Okay, look, about lunch the other day, I, uh --

Michael: Skip it.

Kevin: Look, I was kind of a jerk.

Michael: Yes, you were.

Kevin: Look, I was -- I was insecure so I got defensive, and I took it out on the person closest to me who's not Chloe.

Michael: How have things been going?

Kevin: Uh, they're still kind of weird.

Michael: Give it time.

Kevin: Yeah. I love her a lot. I do. I really want this to be a forever thing, you know?

Michael: I know you do.

Kevin: Marrying her was the right thing to do. She needs certainty in her life -- the kind of stability that I can bring her. What, you're not even gonna crack a smile on that one? [Chuckles]

Michael: I'm laughing on the inside.

Kevin: [Chuckles]

Michael: You know, this was nice. It's a good idea -- the four of us...

Kevin: Yeah.

Michael: ...Getting together.

Kevin: It was her idea.

Michael: Really?

Kevin: Mm-hmm. I was beat after work. I just wanted to sit on the couch, watch the Bulls, uh, Celtics, but she was like, "No, let's go out." She wouldn't take no for an answer. [Chuckles] I think she's eager to get back to having a normal life.

Chloe: I don't understand. What do you mean she updated the line? You realize that she did not consult me about this. I am her partner.

Lauren: Okay --

Chloe: Do you realize what a slap in the face that is?

Lauren: I'm so sorry. I-I assumed that you saw them.

Chloe: No, I didn't see them. This is our company. What about me?

Lauren: Okay, I-I-I don't know what happened. I-I mean, maybe she just didn't want to bother you at night.

Chloe: What do you mean she didn't want to bother me? Are you defending her?

Lauren: No. Not defending her at all. I'm just trying to figure out why she did it.

Chloe: I don't understand, because I told her that I am fully committed to this line and to this business -- that I am willing to work with her day and night.

Lauren: Maybe she was just being sensitive to you being a newlywed and needing time alone with Kevin.

Chloe: Uh, I would rather be working.

Nikki: Well, Reed is all tucked in. He said, "Tell Grandpa that playing chess is almost as fun as killing zombies."

Victor: [Chuckles] He said that? Such a cute kid. He's adorable.

Nikki: And you're very good with him.

Victor: I love my grandkids. Wish they would never get older.

Nikki: Well, I know how hard you fight to keep them all together.

Victor: Yeah. Victoria and Nicholas are doing their own thing, and... Adam is gone. And Abby’s involved with a man that I don't think she's known for very long. I certainly don't know much about him at all.

Nikki: It's never too late to reach out to the ones you love.

Victor: So the saying goes.

Nikki: Victor, it's more than a saying. It's true. I know the kids love you, but you need to show them that you love them, not just tell them... no matter what.

Victor: What -- what are you saying? I love them. I'm very concerned about them -- obviously, too concerned, I guess.

Nikki: They just need to see it a little bit more.

Victor: Sometimes, I don't get this whole thing.

Lily: So, was that sudden burst of energy to distract me from asking more questions about Victor?

Cane: [Inhales sharply] You caught me, huh?

[Both laugh]

Lily: You are so wrong.

Cane: [Sighs] Listen, to answer your question, I wasn't trying to distract you with sex, 'cause I don't have to distract you 'cause I have nothing to hide, okay?

Lily: Look, I know -- [Sighs] I know that this all started with you trying to hunt for the person behind this mess with Bonaventure, but, Cane, I need you to be honest with me.

Cane: [Sighs] About?

Lily: Has it become something more? I mean, do you want to go work for Victor at Newman-Chancellor?

Abby: So, what if we were talking about getting engaged, or actually getting...

Tyler: Well, I think that we've both seen enough bad marriages to just jump into something all lightly, right? You know, and it's not like either one of our parents set a good example.

Abby: Well, when you put it that way, that's very depressing.

Tyler: Yeah, you know, seeing other people in all their pain and heartache -- it's like, "Why bother?" You know? We could just leave things the way they are, keep having a good time.

Abby: Great question.

Tyler: But, you know, I'm not my sister. I actually do believe in marriage. But I can only think of one reason to get married -- that's 'cause we think its right for us.

Abby: So, what are you saying?

Chloe: Okay, um, all right, that's not -- that's not what I was trying to say. What I was trying to say was that work is the only thing that keeps me sane right now. Work and you. Work and you -- that's what I'm trying to say, because if it weren't for you, I would be locked in a psych Ward trying to convince patients to have their highlights done. [Chuckling] So...

Michael: [Chuckles]

Chloe: See? He gets it. Bad joke. I owe you. I owe you big. Huge. Okay, and there I go monopolizing the conversation again. Drinks? Yeah. Cheers. Come on.

Michael: Cheers.

Chloe: Look at that.

[Glasses clinking]

Lauren: Cheers.

Chloe: So, Michael, I heard that you are working full-time at the firm. So, come on, tell us -- any juicy cases going on?

Billy: You're not playing fair, Chelsea.

Chelsea: You don't want to talk about your wife. I don't want to talk about my husband. What's not fair?

Billy: Okay, uh, show me what you're working on.

Chelsea: Since when do you care about my work?

Billy: Since...now. Hmm? I mean, you said you were snowed under.

Chelsea: Okay, Billy, look, um, I'm not trying to be rude, but you and I aren't friends, so you don't have to create small talk to be polite. Why don't you just go home, okay? So I can continue to work.

[Keys jingle]

Victoria: Hey, um, do you want to come inside a sec?

Stitch: Um...

Victoria: The boys are staying at my parents' house tonight. [Sighs deeply]

[Door closes]

Victoria: You know, I just didn't really feel like giving the driver an earful. But, for the record, you know... this wasn't exactly like the time I kissed you.

Stitch: [Scoffs] Definitely not.

Victoria: What I meant is, I'm not gonna go running back to Billy and, you know, begging him for forgiveness.

Stitch: That's your decision. I mean, you know, I'm -- I'm divorced, and you're still married, so...

Victoria: Legally separated. I mean, I need this time for myself, away from my marriage, so...you know, if you have this idea in your head that you're coming between me and my husband, you're not at all.

Stitch: Well, if we're gonna be so honest with each other...

Victoria: Well, do you have something to say?

Stitch: Ever since that kiss, I've...acted like it was just something that happened -- you know, that it had nothing to do with me -- that I just happened to be there, standing there when you needed someone. But every day since that kiss... I've thought about being with you.

Lily: Cane, look. You said that you have nothing to hide, okay? All I want is the truth. Do you want to leave the club and go into business with Victor? Just tell me.

Cane: Yeah. Yeah, I do.

Nikki: You know, you didn't talk very much about the queen tonight.

Victor: I didn't, did I?

Nikki: No. You didn’t. The king might be the most important piece on the board, but the lady by his side is far more powerful.

Victor: [Chuckles]

Nikki: It's true.

Victor: At least I let her think that, okay?

Nikki: Ohh!

Victor: Come here.

Nikki: [Chuckles]

Victor: It is too -- too advanced of a lesson for Reed, I assure you.

Nikki: Mm-hmm.

Victor: But you're my beautiful queen. You're my beautiful wife. And I'm so grateful to have you in my world.

Nikki: Oh, Darling.

Victor: Mm-hmm. Mm.

Nikki: I promise you, when you get back to town...

Victor: Mm-hmm.

Nikki: ...I will help you mend fences with the kids. It'll happen. I promise.

Victor: All right.

Tyler: Well, you know, lately, I've been thinking maybe it's not such a bad idea.

Abby: Why? Because the rest of the world already thinks we're engaged?

Tyler: No. Because I can see myself married to you.

Abby: Is that a proposal? Because we both said we had to be 400% sure, and...

Tyler: I am 500% sure. Abby Newman... will you marry me? Not clear enough for you?

Abby: No. Um... [Chuckles] Yes. Yes, I will marry you! [Laughs] [Chuckling] Oh, my God!

Lauren: You know, this has been such a lovely evening, but we have a very early morning.

Chloe: No, no, no! Please, don't go. Come on -- we just started having fun, right? Right?

Kevin: Look, you know what? I need to talk to my wife for a minute. We'll come back and say goodbye.

Michael: What?

Lauren: Well, no --

Chloe: Wait. No, no. Just wait. I'll be right back. What?

Kevin: We have to go home eventually. You can't avoid it forever.

Chloe: I don't know what makes you think that.

Kevin: Look, Chloe, I told you I would give you all the space that you need, and I meant it.

Chloe: Are you sure you mean that?

Kevin: Yes.

Chloe: Okay. Well, then I-I want to sleep in the extra room tonight.

Kevin: Okay. I understand. But I'll sleep in the extra room -- you sleep in the master.

Chloe: No!

Kevin: It's more comfortable.

Chloe: I-I --

Kevin: I insist. And when you're ready, let me know, and we will share a bed again.

Chelsea: Connor's just incredible. He's growing so fast.

Billy: Well, that's how they are at that age. Careful not to blink.

Chelsea: Congratulations.

Billy: For?

Chelsea: For finding a safe subject for us to talk about. Well done.

Billy: [Chuckles] Well, I figured we both have kids, so...

Chelsea: I bet it's really great having Reed here for a visit.

Billy: Yeah, he's an amazing kid. It's just, uh, I don't know if I'm gonna be seeing him a lot this trip...or the next one...or the next one.

Chelsea: You're a great dad, Billy.

Billy: [Sighs] Chelsea, don't say that.

Chelsea: No, you are. I've seen it myself. And you and Victoria -- you both love each other so much. She'll come around.

Billy: I thought this was one of those "Forbidden topics."

Chelsea: Will you just shut up and let me talk for a second? And you're not gonna like this example, but look at Adam and me -- the road we went down, and then we came back to each other again.

Billy: Yeah, you're right. I don't like it.

Chelsea: All I'm saying is, if it's meant to be with you and Victoria, then it'll happen. You just got to have faith.

Stitch: Hopefully, that wasn't too honest.

Victoria: No. I'm -- I'm not offended.

Stitch: Good. Uh, you know, um, the cab's waiting. You sure you're gonna be okay?

Victoria: Huh? Oh, yeah. I'm fine. Really.

Stitch: I think you're amazing, Victoria. But I'm not gonna push. Whatever happens from here is up to you.

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

Devon: You guys shared a room?

Victor: What about Abby?

Tyler: I asked her to marry me. I hope that we can have your blessing.

Summer: You took advantage of me, and I'm here to say thank you.
