Episode #11345 ~ J.T. plays with fire; Kevin bends the rules; Sharon makes a sacrifice to help Nick.

Provided By Suzanne

Phyllis: I am willing to let you off scot-free. All you have to do is end your relationship with him now.

Chelsea: Nick isn't christian's father. Adam is.

Phyllis: There has to be a dna test that proves sully was christian.

Sharon: There was one, but it said nothing about paternity. We would have to have another test to know who his father is.

Lily: You knew there was no harassment, but you pushed juliet to lie.

Paul: Yeah, I wouldn't have called the guy if he wasn't the right one for the task.

J.T.: I do the job I'm hired for. No exceptions. The thought of losing you just makes me crazy. This -- you -- is all I want.

Victoria: What are you doing?

J.T.: Well, hello to you, too.

Victoria: You know, this is a place of business. J.T., What if somebody else had walked in?

J.T.: Well, I am head of security, so I knew with professional certainty that you would be the only person walking through that door.

Victoria: What if I was with my dad?

J.T.: Well, look, I-I came by to boost your morning, you know? Invite you to lunch.

Victoria: Oh, that sounds so heavenly. But I'm so swamped right now.

J.T.: You're always swamped. Just take a little break. 30 minutes. 25. 25.

Victoria: Aren't you sick of me by now? I mean, we live together, we work together.

J.T.: Just because we're always yin close proximity doesn't necessarily mean it feels like we're always together.

Victoria: I'm just -- I have a really jam-packed day.

J.T.: Please?

Victoria: [ Sighs ] All right. I'm gonna try to tweak my schedule, and I'll meet you upstairs later.

J.T.: [ Raps desk ] I will take what I can get.

Victoria: For lunch.

J.T.: For lunch. Right. See you later.

Victoria: See you.

Lily: Hi.

J.T.: Hey, lily. She is all yours. Just make sure she's free for lunch, all right?

Lily: Okay. Thanks.

Victoria: How are you this fine day?

Lily: I'm doing well. Although I have some news that might spoil your day.

Phyllis: What's wrong?

Sharon: [ Scoffs ] What do you think? You know, my nerves were in shreds all night long. When nick stopped by this morning to pick up faith, I had to hide in the bathroom. I couldn't even face him.

Phyllis: Good move. Smart move.

Sharon: You know, I -- I hate that you sucked me into this... forcing me to keep another horrible secret from nick. And I -- I don't think I can do it.

Phyllis: Then help me get to the truth. If we prove that nick is christian's father, we're not gonna have to lie about anything.

[ Slaps bar ] Hello? Did you get sully's medical records? Did you bring them or not?

Kevin: Oh!

J.T.: Oh!

Kevin: Dude!

J.T.: Kevin!

Kevin: What's happening, hellstrom? What are you doing here?

J.T.: Uh, I moved back here. I heard you were in portland.

Kevin: Uh, that is correct. I-I try and make it back as often as I can. What brought you back here?

J.T.: Temp job that actually turned into a second chance for me and victoria.

Kevin: Awesome. Sounds like a lucky gig.

J.T.: Yeah.

Kevin: Doing what?

J.T.: Forensic accounting. Yeah, it's -- it's not that exciting.

Kevin: Like an investigation? Of whom?

J.T.: Uh...

Kevin: Oh, come on. Spill. Who am I gonna tell?

J.T.: Off the record, we were looking into victor for embezzlement. Oh, that's lovely...

M

Mariah: I'm confused. Why would fenmore's want you to cater a party of theirs? I thought you and lauren couldn't stand her?

Phyllis: Not true. I like your mom.

Mariah: Oh, really? Since when?

Phyllis: New year'S. It was my resolution to befriend anyone capable of spitting in my coffee.

Sharon: [ Laughs ] She's kidding, of course. Actually, it was hilary's forgiveness fiesta.

Phyllis: You know, that's right. I admit it. I think that thing worked. I do. At least for us, anyway. Your mom and I realized that we have too much in common to ignore.

Sharon: It's really not much of an office party. It's just a reception, really.

Phyllis: Exactly. You know, penny in accounting, she is cray-cray for the crimson lights muffins.

Mariah: She's not the only one.

Sharon: She has a point, you know. Why should I trust you?

Phyllis: Don't do this. We are trusting each other because today we do have one common goal -- we are the mothers of nick's kids. Maybe his only kids.

Sharon: [ Sighs ] If nick finds out he's not the real father of christian... I don't understand what we're supposed to do with sully's dna reports, I mean, just by themselves. What? Oh!

Phyllis: Maybe our answer just walked in the door.

Kevin: Victor newman, zillionaire, embezzling? Why? What is he thinking?

J.T.: Ah, I wish I knew.

Kevin: Does he want to go back to prison? Is he going back to prison?

J.T.: All I can tell you is that he's still in newman tower, and, uh... the investigation's over. It's actually kind of boring. Now, you, on the other hand...

Kevin: What? What is that supposed to mean?

J.T.: Well, I've heard you've been up to some pretty wild things the last few years.

Kevin: I wouldn't go that far.

J.T.: You did. Ex-con kevin fisher, on payroll with the gcpd? I mean, how the hell does that happen?

Kevin: Oh, it is a twisted tale. It's also very long. I'm sure neither of us have time for it right now.

J.T.: I would like to hear it at some point, but until then, i will just say congratulations. Head of I.T. For gcpd, it's impressive.

Kevin: Thank you. I appreciate it. And, hey, if you miss working at the department, phone paul. Or swing by. Seriously. I don't think anyone took over my position.

J.T.: Ah, I got a job.

Kevin: I'm sure you're doing well at newman. I'm just putting it out there that if you wanted to be back at the department, my old job is a good way to do it. And even with, you know, your condition.

J.T.: Yeah, I don't want another desk job. If I go back to police work, it'll be as a detective, you know, like back in the day... with paul, doing the P.I. Thing, consulting with the gcpd. I mean, I-I really loved that.

Kevin: Do I detect a bit of a plan to make that happen?

Mariah: Hey, portlandian.

[ Chuckles ]

Kevin: [ Gasps ] Don't I know you from that gossip show that suddenly got real gooey and feel-good?

Mariah: Mm. [ Laughs ]

Kevin: Oh, do you two know each other?

J.T.: Yeah, I know cassie's twin.

Mariah: Uh, well, if you guys need more time, I can always --

J.T.: Actually, um, I, uh -- I got to run. So why don't you have my seat?

Mariah: Okay.

J.T.: Good to see you both.

Kevin: Yeah, you too.

J.T.: All right.

Kevin: So. Tell me everything.

Mariah: Well, I love having you in person, but since you've upped the frequency and typing of your e-mails, you'll know that I have very little going on.

Kevin: All right. Let's fix that. I'm not just an amazing typist and pen-pal. I'm a great wingman.

[ Mariah chuckles ] So it didn't work out with tessa. Who cares? There are amazing, hot women in this town.

Mariah: Yeah, I know. I've, uh -- I've noticed. But to compound my lonely pain, I'm also attracted to hot men.

Kevin: Well, while you see gender-blind romantic agony, I see infinite possibilities. A very wise wizard-lady-elf once said, "there is always a kingdom beyond...the kingdom beyond."

Mariah: Yeah. I'm starting to think she said that just to sell more books.

Kevin: [ Gasps ] Blasphemy! There is another kingdom, lady elf mariah, and when you find it, you will slay it.

Phyllis: I'm sure you can settle this dispute we're having.

Paul: Between you and sharon? Maybe I should call for backup.

Phyllis: It's silly. I-I saw this ridiculous news clip. It was saying that if someone dies in an extreme way, and it seems like there was nothing left of them, dna can confirm their identity?

Sharon: And I was just about to tell her that that's how adam was identified after the explosion.

Phyllis: Really? I mean, I don't mean to sound morbid, but that's amazing. How does that all work?

Paul: Well, csi forensics is now able to gather trace amounts of dna without a body or portions thereof. In adam's case, we were able to compare what we had on file with that dna. It was a match.

Sharon: See? Told you. All right. There you go, paul. It's on the house.

Paul: [ Chuckles ] Why, thank you. Take care, girls.

Phyllis: Oh, thanks. Step two. He just confirmed adam's dna profile is on record.

Sharon: Well, we still have to get into the police database. Now, if dylan were here he'd be all over this, but... kevin. Kevin is back in town. And he's here, on the patio.

Phyllis: Sharon, you're on fire. Let's go.

Sharon: Oh. Where's kevin? In the men's room?

Mariah: No, he left.

Phyllis: Uh, do you know where he went?

Mariah: This new friendship you two have, it's bizarre. I blame hilary.

Sharon: I'll explain later. Where's kevin?

Mariah: He went to pick up bella from gloria at jabot.

Phyllis: See ya, mariah.

Sharon: I really like your top. Is that new?

Mariah: Okay. Message received. You'll explain it to me later. (Cat 1) friskies world...

Paul: I am so glad you got my messages and finally decided to come in.

J.T.: Paul --

Paul: A progress report is long overdue.

J.T.: I'm taking things slow and cautious. You know how risky this is.

Paul: So did you when you signed on.

J.T.: I am right where you want me. Undercover with the newmans.

Victoria: So hilary had proof on video that juliet's sexual-harassment claim was a deliberate lie, and through the entire lawsuit, she just sat on it?

Lily: Yeah, it's worse. She egged juliet on, fanning the flames so that she would sue you, knowing it was bogus.

Victoria: This would have changed everything. I wouldn't have had to have paid juliet that astronomical settlement, brash & sassy's reputation would have been clean. Not just for the harassment, but for the toxic face mask. And billy and I wouldn't have tried so hard to save a sinking company, and he wouldn't have used those cut-rate ingredients, and... I could have kept brash & sassy strong on my own. I-I -- I could have avoided all of this public humiliation, and I wouldn't have poisoned myself into a coma on hilary's damn show.

Lily: Not to mention the hell it pout cane through.

Victoria: Yeah, and... and you and the kids. Hilary could have prevented all of it.

J.T.: If you want dirt on victor, I couldn't be better situated. Head of security at newman. I have access to everything, but it's gonna take some time.

Paul: I know exactly how long we've been waiting. Two months to the day. You know, I find it really hard to believe you couldn't find something to pin on victor.

J.T.: Well, if he covered up any illegal activities, I couldn't find them. And believe me, I tried.

Paul: Oh, yeah. I know you did your best. I just really thought we could have nailed him this time.

Christine: You know, enough. J.T., Just stop.

J.T.: Stop what?

Christine: Lying!

J.T.: I told you the truth. I -- I don't know what she's referring to.

Paul: Oh, save it, J.T. We want some answers now.

J.T.: I gave you everything I know.

Christine: How stupid do you think we were? Like there wouldn't be cross-checks in place on a case of this magnitude? Let me spell it out for you -- we know that nikki has been stealing from victor's account. The evidence is glaringly obvious.

Paul: So why would you cover it up?

J.T.: As a favor to victoria, to keep her mother out of prison. I mean, come on, paul. Nikki is one of your oldest friends. She doesn't deserve to go down for this, and she sure as hell doesn't deserve to go to prison. I can't say the same thing about her husband. So, what are you gonna do now? Threaten her with prosecution? 20 years if she doesn't give you what you're looking for to nail victor?

Christine: We'll talk to nikki, but there's another option on the table that doesn't involve nikki directly. Only you.

J.T.: Doing what?

Paul: Continuing your investigation. Legit this time. Undercover, holding nothing back. And no one is to know about this but the three of us. Is that understood?

J.T.: You want me to lie to victoria? Spy on her father behind her back, and her family company? Why the hell would I want to do that?

Christine: Payback.

Paul: So, can you guarantee we'll get results?

J.T.: You can trust me this time. I know what the end game is.

Phyllis: Hold the elevator!

Kevin: What? Oh! Uh...

Kevin: Phyllis. You following me?

Phyllis: [ Breathing hard ] Yes, I am.

Kevin: What are you doing?

Phyllis: I'm offering you a little gig while you're in town.

Kevin: Doing what?

Phyllis: Your specialty -- hacking.

Lily: Cane?

Cane: Hey.

Lily: Hey. I didn't know you were coming by. Does newman have business with chancellor?

Cane: Uh, not that I know of. But I am here on some rather urgent business.

Lily: What's going on? I mean, if you can tell me.

Cane: Shh. Don't breathe a word of this to anybody, okay?

Lily: Okay.

Cane: I'm here to ask my extremely gorgeous wife out to lunch.

Lily: [ Laughs ]

Cane: But, I mean, if she's busy, of course I'll just -- I don't know. I'll have to take a rain check.

Lily: Aw. You came all this way. I mean, how could I say no?

Cane: If you did, I would understand, because it would be worth the drive to see your beautiful face, and that you know how important it is to have you back in my life.

Lily: Well, you've been making that very clear. But I'm also aware of your other commitments, like running jill's company.

Cane: There you go again, saying the right things. But I will never choose work over you and the kids ever again.

Lily: Uh, that kind of attitude is not allowed at newman enterprises.

Cane: Oh.

Lily: But lucky for you, at your job, you're in charge.

Cane: Mm. That lets me plan as many romantic surprises as I want. 'Cause you know what? I am lucky. I am the luckiest man in the whole world.

Kevin: You can hold me hostage until the fire department shows up. I'm not doing it.

Phyllis: Come on. Let's negotiate. How much do you want?

Kevin: No amount of money is worth monkeying around encrypted police case files. You know that, or you would have hacked in yourself.

Phyllis: It is just one piece of information. It'll take you five minutes.

Kevin: To completely destroy my life, and bella'S. No, thank you.

Phyllis: When did you get so paranoid?

Kevin: Since the penalties for cybercrime started spiraling out of control. Guess you haven't kept up with that, either. I pay attention to those things. And as a potential co-conspirator, so should you.

Phyllis: Kevin...

[ Kevin exhales sharply ] ...This is not about me. This is for a good cause. For an innocent person to get out of a potential disaster.

Kevin: Well, then, go to paul and tell him what you need.

Phyllis: That's not gonna fly. You're the only person who can help me.

Kevin: I don't know what to tell you. Except, "start this elevator or I'm pressing the alarm."

Phyllis: Okay, okay! What if I told you, the one person who could stand to lose big in this situation is the same person who sabotaged your wedding? Who chased down chloe.

Kevin: Chelsea? Explain.

Phyllis: I can't say anything. But she has reprised her old swindling routine. She's messing with a lot of people's lives. People that I care about. And the only way to stop her is if we get our hands on adam newman's dna report.

Kevin: How would that prevent chelsea --

Phyllis: Just -- just -- just take my word for it. Can you help me?

Kevin: [ Sighs ] I'd like to. Really. But I can't risk losing bella. I'm sorry. Phyllis!

Phyllis: [ Sighs ]

Paul: You remember what's at stake here?

J.T.: Well, how could i forget the compelling case you and christine made?

Paul: If victor hadn't have brought my sister back into town, patty never would have kidnapped colleen.

J.T.: I don't need a history lesson on patty. I know how colleen died. Don't throw that in my face.

Christine: That's because you know we're right.

Paul: It's high time that victor paid for his crimes. We have a chance on this one.

J.T.: Doing what?

Christine: A probe points to victor's involvement in highly illegal price-fixing practices on a global level.

Paul: And now you're in a perfect position to get a job at newman enterprises. And after the favor you did for nikki, you should have earned the trust of the entire family.

J.T.: I am trying to forge a trusting relationship with victoria and reed.

Christine: Well, victoria's been spending a lot of time with victor. Don't you want to protect her and your son from his influence?

J.T.: I don't know. I'm -- I'm supposed to leave town tonight.

Paul: Okay.

Christine: Or we can do this the hard way. J.T., You've already admitted to suppressing evidence in our investigation.

J.T.: Here comes the threats.

Paul: Okay, you know what? Nobody wants to prosecute nikki or you. And chris and I really want you on this team again.

Christine: We wouldn't extort your services. We would pay you top dollar.

J.T.: I'll consider it. But I'm not doing it for the money. I have a couple of conditions you'd need to meet. When I make a deal, I stick to it. The only match

C

Cane: So, how's your lunch?

Lily: Uh, if you're talking about the surprise, then it's a 10 out of 10. The food, an 11.

Cane: Ah. So you don't want a taste, then, huh?

Lily: Of your food?

Cane: Well, we can start with that.

Lily: [ Giggles ] Mmm.

Cane: So, what do you think?

Lily: I think that you're still the same man I met and fell in love with all those years ago. Oh. Victoria's here. Don't look. Don'T.

Cane: It's okay. Don't worry about it. It's fine.

Lily: I told her that we discovered what hilary did. And she's coming over.

Cane: [ Sighs ]

Lily: Victoria. Hey. J.T.'S not with you. Is everything okay?

Victoria: Yes, he's just dealing with some security issue, so he's running a little late.

Cane: Hey.

Victoria: Cane, I need to tell you something.

[ Sighs ] I made a mistake believing that you would resort to sexual harassment with juliet.

Cane: Thank you. Okay. Although, I mean, there's nothing we can do now to fix it, so --

Lily: Well, it's better late than never. Right?

Cane: Yes. Right. I'm sorry, too. I made some horrible mistakes, and I apologize.

Victoria: Yes, you did. Well, excuse me. Enjoy your lunch. I'll see you later.

Lily: Thank you.

[ Sighs ] You handled that well.

Cane: Yeah. Well, I mean, I understand why she treated me the way she did before I left brash & sassy. I mean, most C.E.O.'S would've done the same thing. But what I don't get is what possesses hilary to be so vicious.

Lily: Satan?

Cane: [ Laughs ]

Paul: The lack of any progress here makes me wonder if you haven't flipped on me again and sided with the newmans, covering up for more of their malfeasance.

J.T.: All right, so I helped nikki, okay? I would never lift a finger to help victor do a damn thing.

Paul: I have always been straight with you, and I'm not gonna start sugarcoating it now.

J.T.: Good.

Paul: So, chris and I have agreed to your conditions. But you have done nothing to live up to your end of the bargain.

J.T.: I'm working on it. And I'll deliver. But you got to keep your word. Victoria has immunity from any sort of prosecution aimed at victor or his company.

Paul: You know what, J.T., I'm not gonna double-cross you. So you get on it and bring us the evidence we need against him.

J.T.: I plan to. But you and christine, you guys got to honor my other stipulation.

Paul: Right. I know. A job here at the department or chris hooking you up with the feds. I got you.

J.T.: I'm serious, okay? If victor finds out that I'm the one who helped you take him down, what do you think he's gonna do? Sit me down and fire me? That's not the way that guy operates. I'm putting a lot on the line, here.

Paul: I know.

J.T.: Victoria. My relationship with reed. That could blow up overnight. So a little reassurance could go a long way here.

Paul: Okay. You're right. I'm on top of it.

J.T.: Cool. I'll -- I'll get christine all the proof she needs to nail victor.

Phyllis: Damn it. Another dead end. I mean, what are we supposed to do? Stand by while chelsea's clever little bluff gets her off scot-free?

Sharon: Can't we just get nick's dna and rush it to a lab?

Phyllis: No. We're civilians. No lab is gonna give us same-day service. And while we're waiting, nick and chelsea will be eloping. You know she's manipulating the hell out of him to make that happen.

Kevin: Hi, again. Got a minute?

Phyllis: Please tell me you changed your mind.

Kevin: No. But this might help.

Phyllis: What is that?

Kevin: Look, this never happened. And if it did, I had no part of it.

Phyllis: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Kevin: These are the passwords to the gcpd database. Of course, they only work from station computers.

Phyllis: I'll deal. And I would so hug you with sobbing gratitude. But like you said, this never happened. We are back on track. With passwords. All we need to do is get a police-station computer to log onto.

Sharon: That's easy! I volunteer at the crisis hotline center there.

Phyllis: You work the phones at a crisis hotline?

Sharon: Yeah, for college credit. Why is that so hard to believe?

Phyllis: Because you're a walking, breathing crisis. It's just a fact.

Sharon: I am gonna go over there...

Phyllis: Mm-hmm.

Sharon: ...And see what I can dig up. But I'm gonna need a small favor from you. Uh oh.

C

Cane: You know, I'm quite proud of us.

Lily: I know. We showed some real maturity and restraint up there.

Cane: Yeah, yeah.

Lily: Too bad the kids weren't here. They could have seen two role-model moments.

Cane: And, see, I thought i took the high road when it came to victoria, but you actually left me in the dust when it came to hilary.

Lily: What? What are you implying?

Cane: Oh, please. I saw your face, all right? You wanted to, like, climb over the table and me and go on and throttle her.

Lily: [ Laughs ] Well, good thing I'm a lady.

Cane: A lady with looks and a forgiving heart.

Lily: Well, listen. We're moving on. We're healing. And we're gonna be stronger than ever. So let's just forget about all of that.

Cane: Mnh-mnh. I don't want to. Because I want to keep filling your days with romance and surprises.

Lily: That sounds like a plan.

Cane: All right. On that note, I have to tear myself away from you and get back to work.

Lily: Okay. Well, thank you for coming by. Bye.

Cane: Bye.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Victoria: I'm still here. I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I have a question. Are you a genetic sociopath, or do you just lack basic human empathy because of some mishap as a child?

Hilary: I am truly sorry about everything --

Victoria: I'm just wondering, you know? I'm wondering, how can you live with yourself? I guess, though, the concept of right and wrong becomes something totally different when people's feelings never factor into one single move that you make.

Hilary: That's not who I am. Okay, I know that what I did was wrong. I -- it was a very dark time in my life. And I'm not making any excuses, and I don't want anyone's sympathy, okay? I'm disgusted by who I was and what I did. So I decided to change it, and I did. If you just take a look at one episode of my show, you will see that my outlook has changed.

Victoria: Yes, I'm well aware. You've -- you've stopped with the gossip and the scandal, and you've drained all the poison, and now you're pushing happiness and empowerment out to the universe non-stop.

Hilary: I'm trying.

Victoria: Yes, I get that. I do. And, you know, re-branding has away of drumming up excitement when things get tired. And in your case, positivity is the perfect camouflage for the twisted individual who gets off on other people's tragedies. I have to wonder, does it make you feel better about your empty life? It must do something, because you're not just observing and exploiting misery. You're actually pulling strings to make it worse. It's your pattern. It's very well-established.

Hilary: It was. But I broke it. And I'm not going back. I swear.

[Voice breaking] I am truly sorry that my actions ruined your company and messed up your life.

Victoria: Even if I did believe you, you know, you have to be held accountable. Sexual harassment makes women's lives hell all over this planet.

Hilary: I'm aware, okay? I'm aware that my actions are responsible for making their situation worse. And I'm -- I'm trying to do everything that I can to make it up to them.

Victoria: Then do it. What is stopping you? You know, the one person that you really owe amends to, it's a shame, she's not with us anymore.

Hilary: Juliet.

Victoria: Yeah, that's right. She was a really bright, beautiful young woman. She had her whole life ahead of her, you know? She sure did. She made a couple of mistakes along the way, but I'll tell you, the worst luck that she ever had was the day she met you.

Hilary: [ Sniffles ] Okay.

[ Sighs ] Okay.

[ Espresso machine clattering ]

[ Cellphone rings ]

Phyllis: Yeah?

Hilary: [ Sighs ] It is so nice to hear a friendly voice.

Phyllis: Oh, hil!

Hilary: Can you meet me? For a drink? Or maybe seven?

Phyllis: You sound horrible. What happened?

Hilary: Uh, well, the whole town despises me because they found out that I held back information that juliet lied about cane's sexual harassment.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Phyllis: Wait, hold on a second. Hold on a second. Oh... hilary? I-I'm sorry. You know, we are so insane right now. It's so busy. But -- you know what? I can't even talk right now. But if you did what I think I heard, honey, that's bad.

Hilary: Agreed.

Phyllis: Call me later and we will hash it out.

Hilary: Okay.

Phyllis: Bye. Here you go. Oh, that's right. Pretend you didn't see the tip jar.

[ Cellphone chimes ] What the hell does that mean? What the hell you looking at?

[ Computer chimes loudly ]

[ Door opens ]

Paul: Sharon, what are you doing?

Sharon: Oh, hi, paul.

Paul: Hi.

Sharon: Uh, the -- the crisis hotline computers, they just froze up again, so, um, we're having a bit of a crisis. I mean an internal one. I-I just need to print out our protocol for a new volunteer.

Paul: Whatever. Fine. Make it quick, will you? And next time, call I.T. You can't be using police computers. It's a complete breach of security.

Sharon: Oh, my god. I'm so sorry.

Paul: Yeah. Just make it quick.

[

[ Door opens ]

Victoria: If you're here for the lunch that we had planned, I ate. An hour ago.

J.T.: Look, I -- I feel like crap.

Victoria: You should.

J.T.: I can explain.

Victoria: You know, I sat there for a half an hour. No call. No texts. No idea what happened to you. You accuse me of not being present, and then you just -- you just stand me up.

J.T.: Yeah, I know. I-I said I can explain --

Victoria: You know, I really -- I don't even have time for this anymore. I -- [ Scoffs ] I've accomplished absolutely nothing today. I don't have time in my schedule for you to be so inconsiderate and so rude. You drove out of the garage here shortly after you insisted that we have lunch.

J.T.: Hold on a second. Are you calling around and tracking me?

Victoria: We had an appointment, and then you flaked on me. I'm gonna find out what's going on. I'm gonna try to find out what's going on.

J.T.: How many underlings did you shake down to get that information? 'Cause, I mean, this is great. You know, the whole company now knows that you don't trust me enough to leave campus without a doctor's note.

Victoria: Where were you? What were you doing the whole time?

J.T.: [ Sighs, chuckles ]

Victoria: Hmm?

J.T.: This is just like my last year with mac. This is great. This is exactly what I wanted. You want to check the odometer in my car? 'Cause she loved doing that after arguments.

Victoria: I asked you one question, and I think I deserve an answer after I blew off my whole day of work to spend it with you, at your request.

J.T.: Well, I am sorry that I am not a crucial power-player in your same league. That way my time would be as important as your time, and we wouldn't waste it spending it with each other.

Victoria: Well, you know what, we're wasting time right now. You never told me, what took such priority today, anyway? Huh?

J.T.: It's called my job. You know, the lesser function I perform here. Yeah, I don't always have the luxury of just re-arranging my schedule. Sometimes there are things that require my full attention. Like the alarm system that I was dealing with for the last few hours at a newman warehouse across town. I thought you knew about it. I'm sorry. My office was supposed to tell you.

Victoria: They didn'T.

J.T.: You can go down there and yell at them, too, or call the alarm company if you want. I'm sure they'll help you out.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] I'm sorry. I just -- but I didn't know.

J.T.: Of course you didn't know. It's not your fault. But what makes me feel like crap is that you went straight to the fact that -- you think I blew you off because I was rude and inconsiderate? Victoria, it's clear you don't trust me.

Victoria: No. I never said that I don't trust you. Come on.

J.T.: Would you tell somebody that you have time-stamped proof of them leaving a parking garage if you wanted them to be honest about where they'd been?

Victoria: Look, please forgive me. I promise, I'm never gonna jump to a negative conclusion about you ever again. I really screwed up. I'm so sorry. I... of course I trust you. I promise, I'm not gonna let my stupid insecurities get in the way of what we have. I'm so sorry.

Sharon: Um... how'd it go?

Phyllis: I never dreamed I'd be so happy to see you. Or am I? Success? Failure? Is paul filing charges against you?

Sharon: I hope this is what you're looking for.

Phyllis: This is incredible. Mad skills! Seriously.

Sharon: You mind if I, um, take a peek? I mean, as often as they've come up, I probably know my way around a dna test. What? As you enjoyed pointing out earlier, I've had a colorful life.

Phyllis: I-I'm just wondering, you know, if i said the word "allele," would that mean anything to you? It's an alternative form of a gene that develops via mutation but occupies the same spot on the chromosome.

Sharon: How do you know so much about this?

Phyllis: I worked at a dna lab. Remember? In new york? I guess my brain, you know, could only stand so much data before it got bored, so i just -- I just absorbed as much as I could.

Sharon: So you know how to decipher this? I mean, enough to see if they match?

Phyllis: Oh, my god.

Sharon: Phyllis?

Phyllis: It's a match.
