Episode #11338 ~ Phyllis corners Nick; Victor gives a family member some tough love; Chelsea receives an ominous message.

Provided By Suzanne

Victoria: I wish I'd gotten you something.

J.T.: All you've done is given me one gift after another. This job, a second chance to get things right...

Mariah: You got a divorce from a billionaire, and all you asked for was a tv show. Now you're selling it back to him?

Hilary: Here I am, people! Ready to move in. I had my first fertility treatment. This is just not how I imagined that it would be when I first thought about having a baby.

Noah: You know, the last couple years have been me making one bad choice after another.

Devon: I'm gonna call you a cab.

Noah: Back off, all right?

Devon: Dude. Hey!

Chelsea: Phyllis is convinced I'm defrauding fenmore's and my own company.

Phyllis: I made my suspicions crystal-clear so for me to send them to you would be psycho. Because now there's someone else out there who really has it out for you. You watch your back.

Chelsea: [ Gasps ] Oh, my god! You scared the life out of me.

Sharon: You probably shouldn't say that in a cemetery.

Chelsea: What are you doing here, sharon? Were you following me?

Hilary: Hello there.

Nick: Hey.

Phyllis: Hey, you waiting on someone?

Nick: Why do you ask?

Phyllis: Well, I don't know, you've got that look.

Nick: Oh, I didn't know I had a look.

Hilary: You checked the time, then you glanced at the door, then you looked at your phone, then you went right back to the door again.

Phyllis: Is chelsea missing in action? She's full of mystery these days.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] You know what, I am not gonna get into a debate about chelsea with you again, so... you ladies have a very nice evening.

Phyllis: Don't say I didn't warn you.

Hilary: I'm with phyllis on this one. There's always been more to that woman than meets the eye.

Devon: Mr. Newman. Thank you for seeing me.

Victor: Hello, devon. I assume you're here with an update on newman's pr.

Devon: You're half right. I'm here to head off a possible future issue.

Victor: I appreciate your vigilance.

Devon: Well, it is my job.

Victor: I remember neil telling you that you had full authority to protect the reputation of our company and my family as you see fit.

Devon: Yes. I am aware of that, sir, but to be honest, I think this is something you might want to handle personally. Seeing that the potential threat comes from someone inside your own family.

Victoria: Hey, I'm home!

J.T.: There's my girl.

Victoria: Oh, hey! How are the kids?

J.T.: Well, they're doing great. They're watching a video, and before you ask, it's educational. It has something to do with the planets or something. Well, thank you for leaving. I forgot that hannah had to duck out early.

J.T.: Well, don't thank me yet. Surprise.

Victoria: [ Gasps ]

Sharon: After I finished talking to cassie, I had the impulse to stop by here. Visit adam's marker. When you and I were reminiscing earlier, it made me remember some of adam's better moments.

Chelsea: He's been on my mind a lot lately, too. So, I assume you're the one who left the flower?

Sharon: Calla lily. Adam once told me it was his mother's favorite.

Chelsea: I always wished i had gotten to know her.

Sharon: Hope was a lovely person. Everyone liked her. I don't think I've ever met anyone with more compassion, dignity. She had this quiet way about her that put you at ease. You'd start confiding your most personal thoughts without even realizing how it happened. I often wondered how a woman like that could have brought up a son like adam. So competitive and driven and intense. Victor's genes, I guess.

Chelsea: I always feel close to adam when I'm here. Even though it's just an empty, symbolic memorial.

Sharon: You should feel close to him. Adam didn't do empty symbols. If you're here, he's here. Trust that.

Chelsea: That's sweet of you, sharon. I appreciate that. Um, I'm actually meeting up with nick shortly, so if you don't mind, I just want to spend some time alone with adam.

Sharon: Say no more. I'm sorry for intruding. Oh, that's lovely...

V

Victor: So, what has my son nicholas done now to embarrass the company?

Devon: Well, your son is not the problem.

Victor: Who is?

Devon: [ Sighs ] You know, I'm torn to even tell you because, honestly, I've been debating on whether or not i should even bring it to your attention.

Victor: This sound serious.

Devon: You know, call it a warning sign that shouldn't be ignored because I think that it's in my friend's best interest, as well as newman's for you to know this.

Victor: Wait a minute. You're talking about my grandson.

Devon: I am talking about him. There was an incident at the top of the tower the other night.

Victor: What kind of incident?

Devon: Noah took a swing at me.

Victor: That's not like him.

Devon: No, it's not like him at all.

Victor: Was he working at the time?

Devon: No, he was off-duty, but he had been drinking at the bar, which I think should be off-limits to any employee or manager during business hours, and that's a policy that I have at the athletic club, and it's grounds for immediate termination.

Victor: Was he drunk?

Devon: He was on his way. And when he saw tessa and me show up with a few other colleagues, he got vocal.

Victor: Oh, I see, now we're getting to the bottom of it. He got upset because he was once involved with that urchin tessa.

Devon: Whatever it was, it surprised the hell out of me, and luckily there was no press there and it was all over before anyone could take their phones out and record him. But noah might not be so lucky next time.

Victor: There's not going to be a next time.

Devon: Then I will leave it in your hands.

Victor: Thank you, devon. Have a nice evening.

Devon: Absolutely. You, too.

Nick: Noah! Come here! Hey. What's going on? Sit down.

Noah: Uh, why?

Nick: [ Chuckles ] What do you mean, "why?" I want to talk. Sit down.

Noah: No, thanks.

Nick: Hey, wh-- why not? What's going on?

Noah: [ Scoffs ] I don't really want to get into it. Not now, okay?

Nick: Get into what?

Noah: There's nothing to talk about. What's done is done.

Nick: Noah, you're upset. Obviously. What happened?

Noah: I don't know, dad. You tell me. Why would I be upset?

Nick: [ Sighs ] Is this about tessa?

Noah: I heard you, uh, gave an apartment in your building.

Nick: It's not my building.

Noah: So you're not helping her?

Nick: Look, rainbow gardens is low-income housing. Tessa doesn't have any money. She's gonna be paying a nominal rent, all right? If she causes any problems, she's out of there. She's not getting any preferential treatment.

Noah: All right, well, that's your version. I see things a little bit differently. Once again, she got a newman to bail her out.

Nick: Noah, come on.

Noah: When is this family gonna realize that she is playing every single one of us?

Hilary: I can't decide.

Phyllis: What, between the steak diane or the salmon fillet?

Hilary: Between the mushroom risotto and the penne primavera.

Phyllis: I didn't think carbs ever passed your lips.

Hilary: They don'T. Ever. But I am -- [ Groans ] I'm absolutely craving them right now, and I don't know if it's this cold snap or if it's a craving craving, as in I might be... what? What? What is so fascinating?

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Sorry. Nick. He's over there waiting for you-know-who. Where do you think she could be?

Hilary: Creating more bogus sites so she can rip off other stores?

Phyllis: Please don't say that, okay? Fenmore's, they lost big money. Our margins are tight enough as it is.

Hilary: I know, I know, i know. Really. I do. Okay? But can we -- can we talk about me for two seconds? Just all of this waiting to find out whether or not I am pregnant, it is driving me completely batty, okay? I'm looking for signs everywhere. I get the hiccups, and I am obsessing. I gain half a pound, then i better open a college fund. It'S...

Phyllis: Okay, even if the insemination did take the first try, it is way too soon to have any symptoms.

Hilary: I know the medical facts, phyllis. I'm confiding my feelings.

Phyllis: Okay, and I'm just saying, you know, maybe it's good if you don't stress, you know? I think it's a waste of time, and plus, it's not gonna help matters.

Hilary: "Don't stress." That's phenomenal advice. Kind of like telling the rain not to fall.

Phyllis: Have you ever heard of mindfulness? Of course you have. Because the yoga instructor on your show last week, they were talking about it. The one who was trying to get mariah to bend like a pretzel.

Hilary: [ Laughing ] Oh, yes.

Phyllis: I read an online article about the benefits of meditation, and -- please listen to me so I don't feel like I'm talking into a catcher's mitt.

Hilary: Something else is bugging me.

Phyllis: What?

Hilary: You know this baby that I'm carrying -- or that i may be carrying? What if his dad is A... a psychopath?

Victoria: Did you pick this out yourself?

J.T.: Yeah. How'd I do?

Victoria: Um, it's -- it's beautiful, but, I mean, you really didn't have to get me another gift after that gorgeous necklace that you bought me. That was more than generous.

J.T.: Well, the necklace goes with the dress, and I want you to wear it on valentine's day.

Victoria: Which is next week. I hadn't even given it a thought.

J.T.: Well, it's good thing that I did, otherwise, you'd be underdressed on the most romantic day of the year.

Victoria: Yeah. Well, that's very sweet of you. Honestly, I've just been so preoccupied thinking about ashley and her power plays. I mean, she's not even attempting to be subtle about it. You should have heard what she said to me this afternoon before our meeting with...

J.T.: Yeah, you know what, i would rather talk about hearts and flowers than, uh, your ex-stepmom, so...

Victoria: Yeah, well, once ashley is contained and humbled, then my life will be a lot more pleasant. Have you come up with any ingenious ideas of how to keep tabs on her?

J.T.: What do you have in mind?

Victoria: I don't know. I have no idea. That's your department.

J.T.: Oh, well, let's see. I guess I could bug her office or tap her phone. Maybe put a gps tracker in her wheel well, put a keystroke recorder on her laptop. I mean, how -- how far do you want me to take this?

Victoria: If I said "all of the above," would you think less of me?

J.T.: Well, I'd definitely see less of you 'cause you'd be in prison working laundry for a nickel an hour.

Victoria: Okay, I know. All right. It's tempting, though.

[ Sighs ] I guess I'll settle for you just, you know, keeping an eye on her and reporting back anything suspicious to me.

J.T.: Look, uh, vick... you know I always have your back, but I like what I do. I'm really good at it.

Victoria: Yes, you are.

J.T.: And I'm handling security for all of newman enterprises, all of newman's employees, including ashley, all right?

Victoria: Yeah.

J.T.: Now, I need to establish credibility, not undermine myself by targeting employees that my girlfriend doesn't like.

Nick: Hey.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] Hey.

Nick: Sorry. I was worried.

Chelsea: I know. I'm sorry. It's my fault. I was totally late.

Nick: Did you get my texts?

Chelsea: I did, but the boys, they didn't want me to leave, they were clinging onto me like crazy. And then I texted you back, actually, but from the elevator, so I don't think my text went through.

Nick: Okay.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] Anyway, i am here now, and I'm starving, and I want to hear all about your meeting with arturo.

Phyllis: Why would jordan scare you like that?

Hilary: Okay, so it's not true.

Phyllis: No! If a sperm bank misrepresented all donors, there would be lawsuits galore. It'd be front page news.

Hilary: You're right!

Phyllis: Yeah. So it's just more vicious mind games he's playing so that you can doubt yourself. What in the hell did you ever see in that jerk?

Hilary: Yeah, at the moment, I -- I can't remember. I just... I hate feeling this vulnerable. It's not like me. I studied those donor profiles for hours. Just trying to find the perfect one, but... there's always gonna be things that I don't know about this guy, things that I am not gonna be able to tell my child.

Phyllis: Trust me, lady. With you as a mom, that's not gonna matter one iota because I'm gonna guarantee you, any child you have is gonna grow up a force to be reckoned with. Okay?

Nick: I mean, noah's never acted like that before. He's usually so calm and level-headed. Except when it comes to this. I have no idea why he has such bad judgment when it comes to women.

Chelsea: Well, he's made some choices I'm sure he regrets. Happens to the best of us.

[ Sighs ] But things will turn around. He's probably in too much pain to see that right now, but things will turn around.

Nick: Well, thanks for saying that.

Chelsea: Well, I mean it.

[ Cellphone vibrates ] Excuse me.

Nick: Sure. What's wrong?

Chelsea: Nothing. I'm -- I'm so sorry to have to cut dinner short, but I -- I have a work emergency.

Nick: What? [ Scoffs ] You just got here. Is it the website?

Chelsea: No, it has nothing to do with that. It's this shipment of silk. It's stuck at customs at o'hare airport. I'm so sorry. I have to get -- I have to get to the office.

Nick: [ Sighs ] I hope you're not leaving because phyllis is here.

Chelsea: What? I didn't even realize she was here. No, it's not that. I'm -- I'm sorry. I was really looking forward to having you all to myself.

Nick: Wasn't meant to be.

Chelsea: I will make it up to you, I promise. I'm sorry.

Victoria: Uh, J.T., Can i talk to you? The fit is -- it's really perfect. You do have exquisite taste.

J.T.: Well, I'm glad you like it.

Victoria: I love it. And I should have made that clear before, and I didn'T. I'm sorry. It's a really thoughtful gift. I shouldn't have let myself get distracted with work issues. You know what, when I walk in that door, I need to set boundaries, and I need to just leave my work at the office and reserve home time for us. I can do better. I can. I've just fallen into this pattern of letting newman enterprises interfere in our personal lives.

J.T.: Well, nobody's perfect, right?

Victoria: I think you are.

J.T.: [ Chuckles ] No. I got plenty of faults.

Victoria: You know, when i was upstairs, I realized something.

J.T.: What's that?

Victoria: Valentine's day. It's smack in the middle of a work week. I must have forgotten what day it was, and I made a business dinner. It's with a C.E.O. From australia that we've been trying to do work with for years. He's finally receptive, but he's only in town for 24 hours. I'm -- I'm sure that we can figure something out, though. I mean, we can go out any other day that week. It's fine. I will have my schedule completely cleared.

J.T.: Well, that just wouldn't be the same, would it? I mean, we just got back together. Spending our first valentine's day apart? What's wrong with that picture?

Victoria: You're not suggesting that I cancel a critically important meeting, are you?

J.T.: Nope. I had a better idea.

Victoria: What do you mean?

J.T.: I wanted to make sure you'd be free that night, so i took the liberty of peeking at your calendar, and I had your assistant call the C.E.O.'S office -- mr. Clark, right? Your assistant was able to move the dinner meeting to a lunch meeting, so problem solved. You're welcome.

Victor: What's going on with you, my boy? Huh? You're supposed to be managing top of the tower. You're not supposed to get liquored up and start fights.

Noah: I was out of line, grandpa, I'm sorry. It won't happen again.

Victor: You bet it won't happen again.

Noah: I'll -- [ Sighs ]

Victor: What?

Noah: I was doing fine until I ran into tessa, all right? I mean, I just -- I can't stand being around that woman. She's managed to screw up her life and mine, but somehow she's got the entire town feeling sorry for her. I just --

Victor: What, and you want the town to feel sorry for you, is that it?

Noah: You said it, not me.

Victor: Let me tell you something, noah. No one owes any sympathy to anyone in this world. You got that? You want something, fight for it!

Noah: That's easy for you to say, all right? All this money and power, it opens doors.

Victor: Don't talk to me about all my money and my power. I fought every inch of the way to gain that! Don't wallow in self-pity! Like your father. He has a number of personality traits that I don't want you to emulate.

Noah: Like what?

Victor: It's the fact that he wants everyone to like him. Where the hell has that gotten him? I want you to start looking at victoria. She doesn't take no for an answer. She gets what she wants. So you make up your mind, to be like your father -- weak -- or do you want to be strong, like your aunt victoria?

Sharon: I guess you were right when you predicted that noah would take your gesture the wrong way.

Nick: Well, I said no at first. I didn't want to get into the middle of it, but mariah talked me into it. And noah's not mean. He couldn't possibly want tessa to be homeless. I guess I underestimated how angry he is.

Sharon: It's not your fault. It's just his heart has been broken too many times. It's starting to make him bitter. And I hate to see that happen, but I understand it.

Nick: Yeah. Me, too.

Sharon: And it doesn't get any easier with age.

Nick: No. It doesn'T.

Sharon: Well, I appreciate you filling me in. Next time I see him, I'll know to let him vent a little bit.

Nick: All right. Well, since you're open, how about a turkey on rye?

Sharon: A sandwich for dinner?

Nick: Yeah. I was stood up.

Sharon: I thought chelsea was on her way to see you.

Nick: You -- you saw her? Tonight? Where?

Sharon: At the cemetery. Adam's marker.

Nick: She didn't tell me she was going by there.

Sharon: Well, I know you've had your suspicions lately, but I wouldn't read too much into it. Talking to you about the husband she lost, even though it is your brother, it would have to be awkward. She probably just didn't want to hurt your feelings. And, anyway, think about it -- what kind of con could she pull in a graveyard?

Phyllis: You should have seen jack. He was completely panicked, i was shrieking at him. I was saying "look in my purse! I have scissors!"

Hilary: No, no, you've got to be kidding me.

Phyllis: No, swear. Even the emergency lights, i could see that he was getting green.

Hilary: He just delivered summer right there in the elevator?

Phyllis: Yep. Out she popped, right into his hands, safe and sound. Actually, right at the moment, the power went back on.

Hilary: Oh, that must have been a night.

Phyllis: Yeah, it was memorable, that's for sure.

Hilary: Yeah, I hope that when I have my baby, it's somewhere safe and sanitary.

Phyllis: And warm.

Hilary: Yeah, and definitely not in the middle of a --

Phyllis: Ice storm? That would be good. [ Chuckles ]

Nick: Hey.

Phyllis: Hey. What are you doing here? I thought you left.

Nick: Uh, yeah, sorry. I need to talk to you. It's important.

Phyllis: Can it wait?

Nick: Well, I just said it's important.

Hilary: You know what, no, um, I have some work to do at the office anyway. So I will leave you two. What do I owe you for dinner?

Phyllis: Uh, nothing. No. Nothing.

Hilary: Okay, thank you. All right, well, I'll get the next one.

Phyllis: Okay, you got it. Adios.

Hilary: Okay, bye. I'll call you.

Phyllis: Bye. What was so urgent that you had to run away my dinner companion?

Nick: I'm ready to hear you out about chelsea.

Phyllis: What? Just a minute ago, you were biting my head off.

Nick: Yeah, well, I've had some time to think about things.

Phyllis: Okay, and now you suspect I'm right? Because that would be a 180.

Nick: Look, I'm not saying you're right or wrong. I just need all the facts.

Phyllis: What changed your mind?

Nick: [ Sighs ] Chelsea lied about why she was late to our dinner date. She said she was dealing with the boys, but I know she was at the cemetery visiting adam's memorial.

Phyllis: Okay. That's a new one.

Nick: I want to give her the benefit of the doubt, but there's a lot of things that aren't adding up.

Phyllis: What's your take on the threat?

Nick: What threat?

Phyllis: Chelsea confronted me about a very strange anonymous text that she received. I told her I didn't send it, and then it had to come from someone else.

Nick: [ Scoffs ] She didn't mention one thing about that to me.

Hilary: What are you doing here?

Devon: Well, you're not the only one that works late.

Hilary: Apparently not.

Devon: What are you doing here at this hour?

Hilary: Research. I need to back up all of my brilliant ideas. So that you can't shoot them down so easily next time.

Devon: Hey, I don't want you to think that I was ragging on any of your suggestions. I just want you to remember who runs hamilton-winters.

Hilary: [ Chuckles ] I know exactly who's in charge around here.

Devon: Do you?

Hilary: Mm-hmm.

Devon: I'm not so sure sometimes.

Hilary: Although, hamilton-curtis-winters does have a nice ring to it, don't you think?

Devon: [ Chuckles ]

J.T.: Uh, uh, uh! Taste! Taste. My famous pesto.

Victoria: You've been cooking. Try it. Come on. It's not gonna bite if you bite it first. What do you think?

Victoria: Um, I don't know, i think maybe it could use a little more garlic.

J.T.: Oh, come on. More garlic, and you're gonna overwhelm the pine nuts.

Victoria: Okay. You're the chef.

J.T.: Think the kids will like it?

Victoria: It depends on what mood reed is in, and the kids are gonna want butter and cheese on their pasta, for sure.

J.T.: Well, they don't know what they're missing. Maybe they'll try some.

Victoria: "Pasghetti" with oily green stuff on it? Mm, good luck with that.

J.T.: Mac and I had this rule -- no dessert unless the kids ate a full serving of veggies or tried something new. I mean, it just makes it more adventurous, less picky.

Victoria: So, that meeting of mine that you rescheduled...

J.T.: Uh-huh. You gonna let me have it?

Victoria: Was mr. Clark -- I mean, was he upset, or...?

J.T.: No, not at all. His assistant said he was happy. He was able to rebook his flight to sydney and get home a day earlier.

Victoria: Oh.

J.T.: Yeah. Come on, I would never cancel a meeting on you completely, not behind your back.

Victoria: I would hope not.

J.T.: Look, I know how much you love your job, and you work hard, but you got to make time for yourself. And time for us, okay?

Victoria: Okay. It would be nice, having a romantic evening together on the actual day.

J.T.: [ Chuckles ] So, uh, did lily tell you the news?

Victoria: No. What?

J.T.: Well, she and cane are gonna renew their vows. So I guess valentine's day is their anniversary.

Victoria: I had no idea. I mean, I have absolutely no use for him, but if she's happy, then I'm happy for her.

J.T.: Took the words right out of my mouth.

Victoria: They have been through such hell in the past couple of months. The fact that they can put it back together like this, it makes sense that they would want to make this kind of gesture.

J.T.: Why, that's -- that's not something we would do?

Victoria: What? I -- that's not what I meant.

J.T.: Good, because lily's news got me thinking. I mean, now that we're living together again... maybe we should make things more formal, you know, since we got kids in the house.

Victoria: J.T. Are you -- [ Scoffs ] Are you proposing?

J.T.: Well, I could text you if that's easier.

Victoria: J.T.!

J.T.: What? What would you say if I was?

Victoria: I'd have to turn you down.

Hilary: Hey, do you have a minute?

Devon: Sure, I do. Dazzle me.

Hilary: I put together a list of other all-label tours in the past five years, including what they netted after expenses, according to industry sources. Every last one of them, a moneymaker.

Devon: This is pretty impressive.

Hilary: Proof that my idea for lp was not only viable but also extremely attractive.

Devon: Well, I definitely appreciate all the effort that you've put into this.

Hilary: Meaning that you will consider it?

Devon: Yeah.

Hilary: Yes, you will do it?

Devon: Well, I'll review the research and give it some serious thought, but no guarantees.

Hilary: Okay. I'll take that as a win. Approximately how long will it before you make your decision?

Devon: What's the rush, hilary? If this is about your maternity leave, that's still just a possibility, right?

Hilary: Well, I would like the planning to be well underway before I make any announcements, but, yes, to answer your question, it is still too early to tell.

Devon: That's what I figured.

Hilary: But I wouldn't want my time off to cause any contractual issues.

Devon: I heard you loud and clear the first time, hilary, but, you know, nine months down the line, your opinion might change, right?

Hilary: Hope you're not teasing me about this.

Devon: I would never tease you about this. I think that what you're doing is incredible, brave, and inspiring, actually.

Hilary: Inspiring, huh?

Devon: Yeah.

Hilary: Wow, are you thinking about having some babies of your own? I remember you telling me that you wanted to pass this company down to family.

Devon: Well, no, there's no babies in my immediate future, but watching you definitely encourages me to follow my own dreams.

Hilary: My goodness. What can a billionaire want that he doesn't already have?

Devon: Well, for one, not to be known as just a billionaire who was handed all of his money to buy this company. I want to be a game-changer.

Hilary: How?

Devon: The advent of streaming was a real disrupter and turned the old way of doing things completely upside-down. The business model is still in flux, so I think that creative and nimble players can really have a hand in the future direction of this industry and keep it monetized and profitable.

Hilary: I love seeing you like this.

Devon: Love seeing me like what?

Hilary: In your element, flying high. Envisioning great things for the future. It's kind of a turn-on.

Devon: Is it? And what about you? What do you envision?

Hilary: Oh, I am right there with you. Top of my field, changing the world.

Devon: Is that right? That's ambitious.

Hilary: Yeah. One of the many things that we have in common. But still, work isn't the be-all, end-all.

Devon: Since when?

Hilary: [ Chuckles ] Come on. What, are you telling me that you don't want more?

Devon: You're right, actually. I do.

Simone: Am I in the right place?

Devon: You are in the right place.

Simone: Hi.

Devon: So glad you could make it. Tonight is gonna be amazing.

J.T.: Reed's doing his homework without being prompted, which is kind of surprising --

Victoria: Can I talk to you?

J.T.: I'm actually gonna finish dinner.

Victoria: I want to explain what I said before, when you were hypothetically proposing.

J.T.: Yeah, you don't have to explain anything. I mean, you pretty much just said no, so I think I got it.

Victoria: I didn't -- I didn't mean to hurt you or make things awkward.

J.T.: Well, people don't mean a lot of things, but the damage is done, so...

Victoria: I just want you to remember how things were years ago with us. Marriage kind of brought out the worst in us.

J.T.: I can go along with that.

Victoria: What we have is really incredible. I feel the exact same way that you do. I really do. Look, we just moved in together, and people are accusing us of rushing into things. I don't -- I really don't need a ring on my finger to tell you how I feel about you. Do you understand?

J.T.: That's a huge relief to hear you say that.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Good. I really want us to both be on the same page.

J.T.: You can relax, okay? I'm not gonna bust out a ring on the 14th. I mean, I couldn't even if i wanted to. I'm still married to mac.

Victoria: Right, that is an excellent point.

J.T.: I was just thinking about what might be best for the kids, you know, setting the right example.

Victoria: And I appreciate that, I really do...

J.T.: But I'm not eager to walk down the aisle right now either, okay? But that doesn't mean I don't want to have and to hold... for better or for worse... from this day forward...

Victoria: Till death do us part.

Phyllis: So, do you see why i didn't want to drop this?

Nick: You make a convincing case.

Phyllis: Thank you.

Nick: But there's one giant thing about this that doesn't make sense to me.

Phyllis: Chelsea's motive?

Nick: She has no reason to do this. She doesn't need the cash, she doesn't have some grudge against you or lauren.

Phyllis: Well, that's the missing piece for me, too. You know, and then all of a sudden, she shows up at adam's grave, for what? More con ideas from the great beyond?

Nick: I mean, that's a stretch.

Phyllis: Okay, then what about this? Chelsea was meeting someone there, a co-conspirator, but she didn't expect sharon to show up and ruin her plans.

Nick: I mean, the way your mind works...

Phyllis: Well, it's a gift.

Nick: No, I was gonna say frightening.

Phyllis: So, where is chelsea now? I mean, she was here just about 30 seconds ago.

Nick: She left. It had something to do with fabrics in customs. Said she had to go to the office.

Phyllis: You don't believe that anymore than I do.

Nick: So what's really going on?

Phyllis: Maybe my cemetery theory is correct, and her partner in crime is setting up a meeting right now.

Noah: Thanks for not firing me.

Victor: Well, my boy, we're all entitled to at least one mistake.

Noah: Just the one?

Victoria: It better be the last one on the job, okay?

Noah: I'll do my best.

Victor: You better do it.

Chelsea: Hi.

Victor: What are you doing here?

Chelsea: Someone knows the truth about christian's paternity. I don't know who, and I don't know what they're after.

Victor: Well, I'm glad you came to me. You and I are in this together. And I'll make sure the secret will never come out. That's what adam wanted. Uh oh.

Devon: Hilary, this is simone. She is a fantastic singer who we are hoping to sign to lp.

Simone: Other labels are still interested in me, though.

Hilary: Oh, is that so?

Devon: Well, the goal tonight is to make you forget that any of those companies even exist.

Simone: Mm, and how do you intend to do that?

Devon: For starters, we will take a ride on my company's private jet, and you will get a firsthand glimpse of everything that hamilton-winters can put behind your career.

Simone: Huh. We'll see how it goes.

Hilary: Word to the wise. You'd be a fool to sign with anyone else. Devon's the best.

Simone: I'll be the judge of that.

Devon: Shall we?

Simone: Yeah.

Devon: Yeah?

Hilary: Have fun.

Nick: No sign of chelsea.

Phyllis: Not now, there isn'T.

Nick: I really don't like this, sleuthing around in the dark, trying to prove if chelsea's lying to me or not.

Phyllis: She did lie. Quit feeling guilty. You deserve to know the truth.

Nick: What do you think about all this, adam? You getting a kick out of it? I would be. Or maybe you left that money just to cause trouble.

Phyllis: I don't think he'd be too thrilled about you shacking up with his wife. Look at that.

Nick: What?

Phyllis: Adam's stone is crooked.

Chelsea: Who could be sending me those texts? Could adam have told somebody else that he was christian's father? I don't know, maybe sage mentioned it to somebody before she passed away. I mean, they've both been gone for so long. Why would somebody dredge all of this up now?

Victor: I think you've missed something important.

Chelsea: I have?

Victor: Yep.
