Abby: Hey.

Victoria: Morning, abby.

Abby: Uh, dad back from his trip yet?

Victoria: Yeah, he should be here any minute.

Abby: I'll come back.

Victoria: I need coffee.

Nikki: Hi, sweetheart.

Nick: Hey.

Nikki: I got your message. What's going on? Hey.

Nick: Well, I have news about the park development. It is not good.

Nikki: [ Sighs ] All right, go ahead. Just pull the band-aid off.

Nick: Newman enterprises is behind the shell company.

Nikki: Damn. Victor strikes again.

Chelsea: You don't seem surprised.

Nikki: Well, no, are you? Nothing that man does shocks me anymore. But I thought he would at least have enough respect for katherine to not pave over the park that has her name on it!

Nick: Dad is not gonna like it when he finds out we're the ones trying to stop him.

Nikki: [ Sighs ] It's just gonna make him dig his heels in deeper.

Nick: He is not gonna want to lose to the two outcasts of the family.

Nikki: You're right. That might just give me more motivation to fight.

Hilary: Story ideas. I will leave them with you to look over.

Jack: Well, no time like the present. You got a pen?

Hilary: [ Scoffs ] You're giving me notes?

Jack: I am the one that signs the checks.

Hilary: [ Sighs ] Yeah. I forgot about all of your vast knowledge of television production. I'm sure that I will benefit greatly from all your expertise.

Jack: I'm micro-managing, aren't I?

Hilary: Just a little.

Jack: Funny, ashley had the same complaint. Only that discussion was not quite so polite.

Sharon: Here you go, a dozen of our most decadent delights.

Scott: Perfect. Thank you.

Sharon: What's the occasion?

Scott: It's a peace offering for victor.

Sharon: A word of advice -- he prefers tequila.

Scott: Ah, well, you don't happen to have a dozen or so bottles stashed in the back, do you?

Sharon: No, I'm fresh out.

Scott: Then these will have to do, and, uh, after putting hashtag back online without his say-so, I wanted to demonstrate what a team player I can be.

Sharon: Mm. And not the kind of employee who would pass along confidential information that the newman company was behind the chancellor park development.

Scott: Yeah, well, you never heard that from me, remember?

Sharon: I'd hate to think of what you're gonna have to buy victor if he ever did find out.

Scott: So let's just pretend we never even spoke of it.

Sharon: I'm grateful that that did happen, though, and I'd be happy to send a box of pastries to your source, but you haven't revealed who it is.

Scott: Yeah, my, uh... my lips are sealed.

Sharon: Mm, well, they're perfect for kissing, then.

Scott: Thanks.

Victor: I see things have happened while I was gone.

Victoria: Uh... "save chancellor park! Stop the newman development." Yeah. Nick's leading this crusade.

Victor: Is that so?

Victoria: He found out about alco, and he confronted me.

Victor: Who informed him?

Victoria: I'm still trying to figure that out myself.

Victor: I expected some pushback.

Victoria: Yeah, but not this fast, and now everything's just gonna snowball.

Victor: You're not worried about a little bad publicity, are you?

Victoria: Personally? No. I mean, when you pass out on live tv, there's nowhere to go but up. I tried to talk nick down and explain all the reasons why this development makes sense, including that katherine would have cheered it on herself.

Victor: [ Exhales sharply ] You know, I understand why people are upset. In fact, I sympathize. What they're all forgetting is that the park may be named after katherine, and I'm glad it is, but the land is owned by the city.

Victoria: Well, nick and others don't see it that way, apparently. They see us as the greedy corporation that's trying to desecrate a landmark that's been dedicated to one of their town's former residents.

Victor: Okay, well, I'm not about to destroy katherine's legacy.

Victoria: A fact which i tried to get through to my hard-headed brother. I mean, the plans clearly state a dedicated green space to katherine. They show that. But he is intent on leading this crusade, so I think we have a fight on our hands, dad.

Victor: You tell your brother to bring it on, and no one is gonna stop me from developing this project.

Jack: I think some of these are great ideas, and micro-managing or not, I am gonna want some input.

Hilary: If you insist, although, I was not planning to be here this long. Your mother's not gonna sic security on me again, is she? I'm sorry, that was uncalled for.

Jack: I'm fine.

Hilary: I apologize if I'm speaking out of turn, but... I'm worried that maybe you're taking on a little too much at one time.

Jack: Whoa.

[ Cellphone chimes ] You're questioning my capabilities? Oh. You know what, hilary, I can handle your show, jabot, and my mother all before lunch. I just put out a fire at jabot and kept this conversation going at the same time. See, I can multitask with the best of them.

Hilary: Are you telling me that there hasn't been a time where you let something slide?

Jack: Okay, you got me there. Look, I realize this is going to require a certain level of balance, and maybe I haven't found that balance just yet.

Hilary: I'm guessing that this has probably occurred to you, that maybe, just maybe, that balance doesn't exist?

Victoria: Abby. This involves you, too. Would you please join us? Everyone gather around. What I have to say is very important, and I want it passed down to all of your divisions. Now, it's come to my attention that someone has leaked information regarding a newman enterprises project to someone outside of the company. Subterfuge is despicable at any time, but it's especially galling when this company is under investigation. Now, this leak could jeopardize a deal that's been in the works for a long time. A deal that is confidential and compromised means that jobs here at this company are at risk.

Abby: I agree. This is a serious violation. We need to find the responsible party and deal with them accordingly. Can you give us any other details?

Victoria: I'd like to keep the specifics under wraps until we know that the leak is completely plugged. However, I do want you all to keep your eyes and ears open and report anything suspicious to me immediately. That's all, thank you.

[ Door closes ]

Scott: We should talk.

Abby: And why do we need to do that?

Scott: Not here. Anywhere away from the office, but it has to be now. Come on.

Ashley: Well, hello there.

Ravi: Hey.

Ashley: Christmas is two weeks away. We're in the home stretch.

Ravi: Right, there's --

Ashley: Doesn't mean we can relax, though. Quit the contrary. In fact, I want you to check and then re-check our order management system.

Ravi: Ashley --

Ashley: I'm thinking for those last-minute shoppers, we should offer free express shipping on all orders over $100. What do you think? You're so sweet. Thank you.

Ravi: I didn't -- those weren't me.

Ashley: Oh, really? Well, then who?

[ Sighs ] Jack. An apology.

Ravi: You guys had a disagreement?

Ashley: We had a clash of the titans.

Ravi: About what?

Ashley: You know what, we've got too much going on to distract ourselves with that.

Ravi: No, I can't handle any projects right now.

Ashley: I know. Holidays are overwhelming, even for genius types like you. I can have somebody come in here and help you with your workload.

Ravi: You'll need to have someone come in and replace me. I'm giving my notice.

Ashley: Very, very funny.

Ravi: It's not a joke.

Ashley: You're quitting?

Ravi: I am.

Ashley: Have you looked at your contract? I'm pretty sure it's iron-clad.

Ravi: There's an opt-out clause. This is me opting out.

Ashley: You're leaving me?

Ravi: It's not personal. Really, it's not. It's business. I've been thinking for a while this would be the best thing for everyone. I got a job offer that is too good to refuse. It would be unfair to ask you to match it. It's a bigger title, more money, more benefits. It's the complete package.

Ashley: Well, you haven't said who this offer's from.

Ravi: Victoria newman. I'll be working for newman enterprises.

Victor: Send him in.

[ Knocks on door ]

Michael: Victor.

Victor: Yep.

Michael: I've brought you a welcome-back gift -- the audit of newman enterprises. The authorities came back with...nothing. The company's clean.

Victor: As expected.

Michael: Yes, well, once they finish going over your personal accounts, assuming no red flag pops up, you and the company should be cleared of any alleged criminal involvement with designdate.

[ Intercom buzzes ]

Victor: Yes? All right, send her in.

[ Exhales sharply ]

Michael: Hello, nikki.

Nikki: Hello, michael. Normally, I would want to chat with you, but victor and I need a private moment. I'm sure he understands what the topic of the conversation will be.

Michael: Mm, well, I'll be in touch. Nikki.

Nikki: Good to see you.

Victor: So, you're here to discuss the park?

Nikki: Chancellor park. It was renamed in katherine's honor, in case you have forgotten.

Victor: I'm surprised nicholas sent you.

Nikki: Well, it's just as much my fight as it is his. Frankly, I'm stunned that you're involved in this situation at all, considering the optics. I mean, you would be hard-pressed to find somebody in this town who didn't adore katherine.

Victor: And you damn well know that I adored katherine. I was very fond of her.

Nikki: Well, then, why are you trying to erase her memory?

Victor: I'm not gonna do that. In fact, her name will be commemorated in the center of the new plaza.

Nikki: Really?

Victor: Yeah.

Nikki: What are you gonna, write her name with concrete? Oh, you could put a nameplate on the bench. If you want to commemorate her, the best thing to do is leave the park alone.

Victor: Okay, let me tell you something that obviously you didn't know. The park bears katherine's name, but the land is owned by the city. There were various people who bid on it. I'm gonna develop it beautifully... gonna make a jewel out of it, okay?

Nikki: Oh. Modest, as always.

Victor: Do you actually know what's good for the city?

Nikki: Actually, yes, I think I do. Fresh air, green grass, trees. That is what's best for the city.

Victor: Are you aware of the fact that the city's population is exploding and we need new housing?

Nikki: Katherine was a champion for the homeless and the poor, and I can guarantee you, she would not want her name associated with some overpriced condo.

Victor: And for your information, there will be condos and apartments built for low-income renters.

Nikki: Ugh.

Victor: You have no idea what this means, do you? You know what it means for the city? We're gonna employ people, entrepreneurs will come in, open new shops. We're gonna stimulate the economy. What don't you and nicholas get about that? I wish you would realize that what I'm doing is a good thing.

Nikki: Eventually, there's gonna be a battle about this that not only will you lose, but you'll lose big.

Nick: Okay, I think you're gonna break a rib.

Devon: Merry christmas, faith.

Faith: Same to you, mr. Hamilton.

Devon: Have you finished writing your list to santa claus this year?

Nick: Pretty sure that was done in july.

Faith: But I did add an addendum before I mailed it. There's this really awesome engineering kit I saw at fenmore'S.

Devon: Wow. Okay. Well, I sure hope that you find everything you want under your tree this christmas.

Faith: Well, I should because I've been extra good this year, right, dad?

Nick: Uh, I don't know...

Faith: Dad!

Devon: [ Chuckles ]

Nick: All right, you've been perfect -- most of the time.

Faith: [ Laughs ] Well, my friends are going ice skating in the park. Can you take me?

Nick: Can you see if your mom will take you? I have to hang out here for a little bit and talk to mr. Hamilton about something very important.

Faith: Okay. Well, it was nice to see you, mr. Hamilton.

Devon: You, too, sweetie. Addendum?

Nick: She's 11.

Devon: Good luck keeping up with her, man.

Nick: Yeah, you're telling me.

Devon: So, what's going on, nick? Why did you want to meet?

Nick: Well, I'm sure you've heard by now the plans for chancellor park.

Devon: Yeah, I have.

Nick: Well, I'm heading up a campaign to stop my father's developers.

Devon: Your father. So it's victor who wants to bulldoze my grandmother's memory like that? I thought those two were friends. Hell, I thought he and I were friends. He used to be my mentor all those years ago at the rec center. So much for loyalty.

Nick: My dad's only loyal to himself.

Devon: Well, it was one thing when I thought it was a stranger, but now this changes things.

Nick: Well, you can stop all this right now, devon.

Devon: How do you figure I do that? I don't have any claim to it. The park wasn't part of my inheritance, so the land belongs to the city.

Nick: Yeah, but you could some of the money she left you to purchase the park and leave it as-is.

Devon: Yeah.

Nick: It is a perfect solution, man.

Devon: I wish it were that simple.

Nick: What's the problem?

Devon: The problem is, my company just purchased a pr firm, and victor is one of our clients, so I think it'll be a conflict of interest.

Nick: [ Sighs ] Yeah. Well, is there anything I can do to change your mind?

Devon: I wish I had an answer for you, nick. I mean, I want you to still fight for what you think is right, but I can't get your hopes up.

Victor: Ashley, what brings you by?

Victoria: Daddy, I can handle this.

Victor: Play nice.

Victoria: Would you like to step down the hall? My office isn't ready yet.

Ashley: Here's fine for what I have to say. Although you might want to contact your legal team to come join us.

Faith: Mom. Mom! Mom!

Sharon: Sweetie, I cannot take you skating.

Faith: But peyton's going, and gabriella, addison, jada -- everyone.

Sharon: There answer is no. I am too busy right now.

Faith: I can walk! It's not that fair.

Sharon: Um, I'm not comfortable with that, and besides, I don't want you at the park unless I can be there, and right now, I can'T. I'm too busy. But we will go another time. Promise.

Faith: This is so unfair.

[ Sighs ] I don't have to be watched every second.

Sharon: Okay, maybe I am being a little overprotective, but I've had some recent reminders that there are some not-so-nice people in the world.

Faith: Well, I don't want to be stuck here all day. So may I call monique and ask her if she can give me a ride home?

Sharon: Yes. You may. And someone needs a refill.

Faith: Hi. I'd like to request a cab, please. 815 hyde park. But don't pull up right in front. I'll be around the corner. I'd like to be dropped off at chancellor park. Thank you.

Victoria: Well, you can huff and puff all you want. This is happening. Ravi starts here in two weeks.

Ashley: You're very confident.

Victoria: I anticipated your reaction and I covered my bases. I knew that you'd be unhappy.

Ashley: Well, obviously. You're trying to poach a very valuable team member.

Victoria: Look, why don't we just cut to the chase, okay? Why don't you come up with a number that makes you comfortable to compensate you for your loss at jabot, and I'll write a check, and we can be done with this by lunchtime? I'll even throw in a meal voucher for the top of the tower. I know you like the chef.

Ashley: I didn't come here for a free lunch, and I didn't come here for your money. This isn't a stunt, victoria. I'm not gonna let you steal our top it employee.

Victoria: Ravi's jabot contract states that he can leave for a better deal. Isn't that right, michael?

Michael: Give me a minute. I'll still reading.

Ashley: You know, don't waste your time, michael. Ravi has a non-compete clause, which means that he can't just pack up his things and walk across the street to newman. I will sue you to keep him just where he is.

Victoria: I don't need to read the fine print to know that that clause doesn't apply. Newman is not a jabot competitor.

Michael: Uh, um, you weren't before you purchased brash & sassy, but now you are.

Jack: I apologize. That took a little longer than i thought.

Hilary: How is she?

Jack: Today's a pretty good day.

Hilary: Watching your mother succumb to a disease isn't easy. But I do admire everything that you're taking on.

Jack: Thanks.

Hilary: But jabot is a huge company. People need a leader, and they can't see uncertainty at the top.

Jack: You're talking about ashley trying to kill our sponsorship deal with your show? Well, we had it out on that one, big time, and judging from the fact that you're here, I guess you know how it ended.

Hilary: Although, if I was in your sister's shoes, I probably would have reacted the same way. Jack, you walked away from your company and then you had second thoughts. I mean, she thought she was running the company, and then all of a sudden, the big kahuna comes in and says, "oh, no, no. Not so fast, sweetie."

Jack: Wow, tell me what you really think.

Hilary: I'm sorry, I'm sorry. That was just a little bit of my inner feminist coming out. I am happy that jabot is sponsoring the show. But you need to ask yourself this one question, and it will put all of this into perspective for you.

Jack: Okay, and what is that?

Hilary: What do you want? Because I would sacrifice anything for just one more day with my mother. So I understand why you want to be there for yours.

Jack: I have to do this. I need to help her. No, no -- I want to help her. I love my mother. And in a different way, I love jabot. And balancing the two is not out of the question. I just haven't figured out a way to do it just yet.

Chelsea: Is devon stepping up? Is he buying the park?

Nick: I'm not sure. I know he's thinking about it.

Chelsea: Okay, well, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that everything works out.

Nick: Well, if he does, then this whole problem is gonna be behind us.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] So, you went to see devon while nikki went to see victor.

Nick: Picked up on that, huh?

Chelsea: Mm-hmm.

Nick: Yeah. I thought that'd be for the best. If I had gone with mom, then the focus goes on my relationship with my dad and not the park, and I don't want anything to overshadow this issue.

Chelsea: I think that's a very mature attitude.

Nick: Can't say I wasn't tempted because I was. But for today, at least, I am not gonna make this a father-son problem.

Abby: [ Sighs ] Okay. So talk to me.

Scott: I, uh -- I don't want to fak you out.

Abby: Well, then, you shouldn't have just said that because now I am guaranteed to freak out. Unless what you're gonna tell me isn't as bad as what I think you're gonna tell me, but what i think you're gonna tell me is, like, really, really, really bad, so... okay, this is where you say I'm wrong about where this is going.

Scott: Yeah, I can't do that.

Abby: The leak at newman. The person that victoria is hell-bent on crucifying...

Scott: Technically, it's -- it's you.

Abby: [ Sighs ]

"The young and the restless"

will continue. They're getting ready for a hot deal..

Ashley: My office, please. Was that victoria on the phone?

Ravi: Yeah.

Ashley: So, I'm assuming that she told you there's no longer a job waiting for you at newman.

Ravi: She did. But how?

Ashley: I went over there and I, uh, handled the issue.

Ravi: You fought for me.

Ashley: Kind of wondering why I bothered, though, since your loyalty is so insignificant.

Ravi: I am loyal to this company, and more importantly, to you. When I accepted victoria's offer, I was trying to do right by us.

Ashley: Wait. You quit because of me?

Ravi: I know the only thing holding us back from sharing something deeper is the fact that I work for you. You're a busy woman, you got a lot on your plate, I get that. I just thought if I backed off here, it might make it easier for you.

Ashley: Well... I'd rather have you here than anywhere. And since I'm the boss, I get to decide whether or not there's a conflict, and I think that you should stay.

Ravi: I don't really have a choice.

Ashley: True. You don'T. Um, we can talk about this later, but right now, I have a meeting.

Ravi: Was it hard to get victoria to back off?

Ashley: Not when I threatened to sue. Jabot rarely enforces its non-compete clauses, but I was willing to go to the mat for you.

Sharon: I'm handing out one of these to every customer who comes in here. You know, it's a shame that victor needs to destroy genoa city landmarks in the name of "progress."

Devon: Yeah. It is unfortunate, but, you know, we can't be too sure of his motives yet.

Sharon: Oh, are you on his side now?

Devon: Well, no, no. I'm just saying there's always two sides to everything.

Sharon: Well, in my opinion, when it comes to victor, there's a right side and a wrong side, and he is wrong about this.

Devon: Yeah. Well, thank you for the coffee, sharon.

Sharon: You're welcome. Don't forget your flier! I know that katherine meant a lot to you.

Devon: Yeah. Of course she did. And, believe me, I know that this park represents her not just to me, but to a lot of people in this community. I realize that, and she'd always love when people would gather there to celebrate any kind of life event, and it's kind of a big slap in the face to her memory to just want to put some buildings up in its place.

Sharon: Well, have you thought about...?

Devon: Using my own money to buy it?

Sharon: The money that she left you.

Devon: It's funny, nick just asked me that same question.

Sharon: And?

Devon: And I have a lot to consider.

Abby: You realize you put me a terrible position at work.

Scott: Whoa, slow down. This is why I didn't want to do it at the office. Making a scene isn't gonna be helpful. You need to tone it down.

Abby: Are you trying to manage me?

Scott: I'm only trying to explain calmly and quietly.

Abby: Well, I'm waiting.

Scott: This all started when sharon was trying to help nick save that park.

Abby: So you came to me asking me about the company behind the development.

Scott: I had my suspicions that there was a newman connection.

Abby: And then when you got your answer, you ran to sharon. You used me, and now I'm on the hook, and the second that victoria finds out, she's gonna fire me.

Scott: Look at me. I won't let that happen. I promise.

Devon: [ Sighs ]

Hilary: Time for another cup?

Devon: Sure. Another one won't kill me.

Hilary: You seem a little... off.

Devon: I just have a few things on my mind, that's all.

Hilary: Share.

Devon: Nah, it's not worth getting into. How you doing?

Hilary: [ Chuckles ] No, no, no, no, no. Nice try. We are friends, and friends let each other vent. You helped me when I had a bad day. Now it's your turn. You're on the air, caller.

Devon: It's mostly about something that I know in my gut is the right thing to do, but I'm not sure if neil's gonna be onboard with it.

Hilary: Have you even discussed it with him?

Devon: You know how moses and sofia, they moved to new york?

Hilary: Yeah. Yeah, they -- they worked it out so that she could take a job there.

Devon: Well, sofia just got into a pretty bad car accident.

Hilary: Oh, my god.

Devon: She's fine, but the recovery's gonna take a minute, and neil went there to help out with moses.

Hilary: I'm so sorry that you guys are going through all this.

Devon: It's okay. Just to reiterate, this is not for "the hilary hour."

Hilary: You have my word. Besides, if I wanted to run the story, I would have to run it by new boss.

Devon: New boss? You found a sponsor.

Hilary: Well, since you said that you wouldn't back the money truck up to the studio, I had to look elsewhere. After a few misses, someone came to my rescue.

Devon: Hmm.

Ashley: Thanks for the flowers. They're pretty.

Jack: Ash, I hate fighting with you, I --

Ashley: Yeah, I don't like it that much myself, jack. And maybe I owe you a flower or two for some of the things i said.

Jack: You're home a little earlier than expected.

Ashley: Yeah, I wanted to check on mother.

Jack: Oh, mother's doing okay right now. By the way, she really enjoyed her time with you yesterday, the part of it she remembers, anyway. And I appreciate you looking after her, I do. I know I kind of tossed her in your lap, and that wasn't good form, and --

Ashley: Jack. She's my mother, too. And I enjoyed the time I spent with her. It also made me see things a little differently where that argument was concerned, so...

Jack: Traci, in her infinite wisdom, suggested that maybe it wasn't all-or-nothing, that maybe we could actually compromise. To that end, I'd like you to see something.

Ashley: It's a work order. What designs? I don't get it. Oh, wait, this is the jabot lab.

Jack: I've had this in the works for some time now. The way I see it, by new year's, that lab will be back to its former glory.

Ashley: Jack, this is an amazing design.

Jack: And long overdue. That lab has needed a reworking for some time now.

Ashley: How did you sneak this past me?

Jack: Oh, I have my ways. I know you love working down there, building new products that keep jabot on top. Now with brash & sassy gone, i thought you should have a state-of-the-art lab once again. Look, I've always felt that your greatest value to the company is the work you do there.

Ashley: And that's where you think I should go. Full-time.

Nick: Shocker. Dad didn't budge.

Nikki: I'm sorry I wasn't able to change his mind. How did your efforts go?

Nick: I put fliers on every surface I could find, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if dad hired someone to follow me around and take them down.

Chelsea: Seems like you've hit a dead end. Maybe it's time to back off.

Nick: Absolutely not.

Nikki: No, no. It's just time to find another way to stop victor.

Scott: Look, nick doesn't know I'm the one that gave sharon the information about newman, and sharon doesn't know that I got my information from you.

Abby: I need a scorecard to keep up with all of this.

Scott: You're twice removed from ever being connected to this leak, and even if victoria ever gets even remotely close, it won't matter.

Abby: You did hear the part about victoria firing me...

Scott: Look, if it comes out, I'll step up, admit it's my fault, and I'll keep your name out of it.

Abby: You'd do that for me?

Scott: I regret it even came this far.

Abby: You know, for a minute, I was worried that you were, um...

Scott: What, setting you up?

Abby: [ Sighs ]

Scott: Look, I -- I hope you know better now.

Hilary: It does not get more complex than this. You are caught between looking out for your company or stepping in to help save chancellor park. When you boil it down, it's doing right by the newmans or doing right by katherine.

[ Groans ] I would not want to be you.

Devon: Well, thanks. That's all you got for me?

Hilary: Uh-huh.

Devon: Since when do you hold back in putting in your two cents?

Hilary: Well, since we both know that you already made up your mind but you just haven't said it out loud yet. We both know what your next move is.

Devon: Act like you know me. All right. Well, if I'm gonna beat victor, how high should I bid?

Victoria: Ashley forced my hand. I had to rescind the offer that I made to ravi.

Victor: Well, I commend you for trying to up the tech game. But I think, in the end, it is just as good that you didn't push hard. You would have had a conflict, it would have made it to the press, and we've had enough bad publicity for a while. I want this park project to go through.

Victoria: You're right. The last thing that we need is a civil war with jabot distracting us.

[ Intercom buzzes ]

Victor: Yes? Send him in.

Michael: Oh, hey.

Victoria: Hi. Dad told me the good news about the audit.

Michael: Uh, well, unfortunately, I may have jumped the gun.

Victor: What are you talking about?

Michael: Oh, well, um, the authorities may have cleared the corporate accounts, but, uh, apparently, the audit is still open.

Victoria: Why?

Michael: The auditors found anomalies in one of victor's personal bank accounts.

Victor: What do you mean? What anomalies?

Michael: You know what, word is this just came across my desk minutes ago. I've got nothing but generalities for you.

Victor: They're grasping at anything to charge me! It's pathetic!

Jack: I don't know what i expected, but I certainly didn't expect you to be disappointed.

Ashley: Give me a break. I had complete control of the company for one minute, and then the next...

Jack: And the next you get to do what you love doing, in your lab!

Ashley: If you say so.

Jack: Ash, if you and I both do what we do best --

Ashley: Please! Don't sugarcoat this, please! You want to have control of the company again. Apparently, there's nothing i can do about that. But just please drop the "I'm doing this for you, ashley" act. So, now what? You're getting 24-hour care for mother, a nurse?

Jack: No, I'll be running the company from home.
