Previously on "the young and the restless"...

Mattie: I want to be a walking reminder protesting the injustice of mom being locked up over an accident.

Victor: Dr. Hastings is going to take samples from both of our cheeks and submit those samples for a dna test. I only agreed to do this to prove once and for all that you and I are not related at all.

Phyllis: Vegas did not feel the same way as it did for you. That tournament -- it made you want it more. This is starting to feel pretty dangerous.

Traci: I believe that we should stage an intervention right away and we should help billy quit gambling.

[ Knock on door ]

Billy: Hey.

Phyllis: Uh-oh! Judging from that face, the stress levels are off the charts. Lucky for you, relief is right at hand, sir.

Billy: [ Sighs ]

Phyllis: Yeah. My gosh, you're so tight.

Billy: [ Sighs ]

Phyllis: Sports scores? That's why your day is sucking.

Billy: [ Clears throat ]

Phyllis: Nothing to do with jabot.

Billy: It's a temporary pocket of bad luck. I'll recoup everything tomorrow.

Phyllis: Yeah? How much did this bad luck cost you?

Billy: I don't have to worry about it, 'cause as long as i have you, I'm always winning.

Lily: Hi. How did you end up here?

Jill: How did you end up -- oh, lord. Can I hug you, or are they gonna come rushing in with cattle prods?

Lily: No, a hug's fine.

Jill: Ohh.

Lily: Hi. Sit, please. I was so surprised when the guard told me I had an unscheduled visitor.

Jill: Yeah. I came straight here from the airport.

[ Sighs ] How are you managing in here?

Lily: It's grueling. You know, you just wait for every day, every hour, every minute to end. So, I've just -- I've been keeping a low profile and thinking about how glad I'll be when I'm home.

Jill: Ohh. I am so relieved to hear that. I came here hoping to find you alive with no broken bones, but... honey, you sound better than i even thought possible.

Lily: Thanks. No, I'm more worried about our family. You know, cane and the kids -- they come in here and they put on a good face, but I know they're downplaying how hard this is hitting them.

Cane: Where's mattie?

Charlie: I was hoping she was with you. She was supposed to meet me here after school.

Cane: How could she be late when she knows your mom's expecting us?

Charlie: I don't know. I tried texting her. She's not responding.

Cane: Oh, she's not picking up the phone, either.

Ashley: Oh. Hey.

Kyle: Did you speak with aunt traci?

Ashley: About...?

Kyle: Becoming interim C.E.O. Of jabot once we dethrone billy.

Ashley: Of course I brought it up when we talked. Things took an unexpected turn.

Kyle: What did? Are you having her remove the blood abbott clause?

Ashley: We're gonna go in a different direction now.

Matt: How 'bout some company?

Nikki: Matt. Hey. Mmm! So good to see you.

Matt: You're more beautiful than ever.

Nikki: Mm-hmm, and you're still as charming as ever. Will you join me?

Matt: So, I guess you've heard why I'm here.

Nikki: Yeah. Victor told me everything.

Matt: If I'd known then what I know now, I would have reached out to victor as soon as I saw alfred's picture on tv.

Nikki: Well, you know, how often does he have the possibility of a potential new brother, let alone jack abbott?

Matt: Not very, thank god, for victor's sake. How's he doing, by the way?

Nikki: He has no desire to even discuss what a potential life-changer this could be.

Matt: That's pretty much what I expected.

Nikki: Yeah. Well, I went to the office this morning, and then I came by later to see him -- gone with no word on where.

Matt: You haven't called him yet?

Nikki: No. Whatever he's up to, I'm leaving him to it. It's obvious he wants to have some time alone, and, over the years, I have learned that it's best I give him some distance.

Jack: I see we had the same impulse. Scotch, neat, and whatever the gentleman's drinking.

Victor: Not necessary. Thank you.

Jack: It's happy hour.

Victor: What's happy about this? It's 4:00. We still don't have dna results.

Jack: Yeah, well, that's when these drinks come in handy. Thank you. As much as I want to know who my biological father is, here's hoping the lab responds with a resounding negative.

Victor: Now, that I will drink to. Cheers, jacko, boy.

Matt: Even at my age, life's full of surprises. It's best to roll with them when you can, so if jack turns out to be half-brother to victor and me, I'm all for it.

Nikki: Well, if it is true, it's not like you can change it.

Matt: And whether that turns in to something negative or positive, that's up to us.

Nikki: Well, for victor, the possibility that he could be related to jack abbott, his archnemesis, through the father that he's hated his entire life...

Matt: Is very difficult to spin into something good, yes.

Nikki: Jack adored john abbott. When he found out he had a different father, it -- it was crushing for him.

Matt: It's logical that he tried to make sense of his life by looking for the truth. But if this is the answer --

Nikki: What, that he shares blood with victor, of all people? I don't know. I-I think jack is gonna regret embarking on this whole thing. And, of course, I will mediate any hostilities, as I always do. But I don't think I'm gonna be met with success.

Matt: Oh, my god. You're dreading these results even more than jack and victor.

Nikki: If you had been through what I have experienced with those two... you would be preparing for disaster.

Jack: Since this little genetic twist we are now facing seems to have come straight from hell, a little devil's advocate work seems appropriate, so... what if it's true? What if we are related, beyond scientific doubt?

Victor: I think we're dealing with astronomically thin odds.

Jack: That wasn't the question.

Victor: [ Inhales deeply ]

[ Exhales sharply ] Let me put it this way. I've often thought that the universe sometimes has a rather dark and perverse sense of humor. But this joke would be in utterly bad taste.

Lily: Cane has been unwavering and nothing but strong and positive, encouraging.

Jill: That's fantastic.

Lily: [ Sighs ] Yeah, well, it's a friend. I know it's killing him to have me in here.

Jill: You and his family are his entire world. But you know something? He will survive, and he will make sure that his family survives. How are the twins?

Lily: Um, I think this is hardest for charlie. He blames himself for my being here. So we've all just been trying to tell him not to look at it that way. You know, we all have, but it's not sinking in.

Jill: Give me a crack at it.

Lily: [ Chuckles softly ] I would love to, but you're never in town.

Jill: Yeah, well, I will admit that's been the case. But it doesn't have to be.

Lily: Yeah. Mattie's kind of thrown herself into her own self-taught law school. She's hell-bent on my early release.

Jill: Bless her brilliant little heart.

Lily: I'm so proud of her. But, you know, my chances are slim. And not only is she in for a major letdown, but she will have wasted her senior year on this.

Jill: Honey, I'm sure she doesn't look at it that way.

Lily: No, she doesn't, because she's 17 and doesn't realize that she's sacrificing what should be one of the best years of her life... because of me... and my mistakes.

Charlie: Yeah, no one else has seen mattie. I don't know what else to do.

Cane: [ Sighs ]

[ Cellphone chimes ] Oh, that's her. "Sorry, dad. Everything's cool. I'm just busy with an important project. I'll meet you at the prison."

Charlie: Well, typical matt, always absorbed in some school stuff.

Cane: [ Sighs ] Well, I'm glad to hear it, 'cause the last thing I need is more stress.

Kyle: Why would aunt traci say no?

Ashley: She wants to stage an intervention. She wants to make billy confront his gambling addiction.

Kyle: Your plan was perfect! Everything was about to fall into place, and now this.

Ashley: Billy is your uncle, and he needs real help.

Kyle: I don't mean to sound cold-hearted. It's just the timing, what's at stake for the company.

Ashley: I know. I was thrown, too, briefly. Then I realized, you know, thinking about it, it's probably the best solution for everybody.

Billy: Why don't you go lock that door? I'll close these blinds, and we can see how much fun we have without spending a dime. How does that sound?

Phyllis: Instead... you mentioned risk. Let's talk about that betting syndicate that you joined. Is that why you were scoping out those scores without the big buzz you had?

Billy: It's a pocket of bad luck, okay? That's all it is.

Phyllis: Okay.

Billy: It's not a big deal.

Phyllis: Why don't you sit down? Because I don't see you really enjoying any of this. What I'm seeing is a lot of emotional and financial anxiety. You paid six figures to join that club, and you've been on edge ever since.

Billy: It's not that. It's the -- it's the pressures of the job.

Phyllis: Like I said, let's play the stock market, okay? We will look into other companies that are gonna take off, we'll invest smart money, and we'll watch our portfolio grow more and more valuable, okay? We can do that tonight. We can do that right now.

Billy: All right. All right. All right. Listen, I --

[ Sighs ] I wanted to explain to you how i feel about this kind of thing. I wanted to bring you in on this, this passion of mine, so you can try to understand me a little more, but now I see, clearly, you don't want to do that. You don't want to try and understand me at all, do you?

Phyllis: Why don't you stop, okay? Because you're twisting all of my words around, okay? Stop. Why don't we talk about what was actually said, what you said to me -- the ultimatum?

Billy: Which was what?

Phyllis: Which was that if i didn't go along with what you were doing, I could walk away. And there's a problem, because i am not happy with either choice. So, do you have any ideas how we can resolve this?

Jill: Oh, what a long-overdue treat to see everyone, even -- even here.

Cane: So, uh, did you and dad have a good time in australia?

Jill: Yeah, well, it was quite an adventure. Colin stayed behind to reconnect with some old friends. And I am late, so... please tell your sister that I'll reconnect with her later.

Charlie: Okay.

Jill: And you promise me -- promise me - you'll stay strong.

Lily: I promise.

Jill: Be careful.

Lily: Mm-hmm.

Jill: Bye, sweetie.

Lily: Thank you for coming.

Jill: Mwah!

Cane: I'll call you.

Jill: Okay.

Cane: Love you.

Jill: I love you, too. Okay.

Cane: [ Sighs ]

Charlie: I thought she'd be here sooner.

Lily: So, what project is she working on?

Cane: Uh, she didn't say.

Charlie: This is the first I've heard of it.

Lily: Well, I guess we'll find out soon.

Cane: Yeah.

Mr. Ashby? There's a situation that needs your attention. Your daughter's been arrested.

Lily: What?!

Cane: [ Sighs ] Stay here. Just -- I'll be back.

Kyle: Just curious. Moving forward, if billy does need to take some time out for treatment, someone needs to take his place. Are you saying aunt traci's still an option?

Ashley: Billy's well-being is our first priority. And once that's dealt with, we'll be in a better place to implement alternative strategies at jabot.

Kyle: Makes sense. As long as certain people react the way you need them to, you should be able to save billy and the company.

[ Door opens ]

Traci: I know. I know. But we can do this if we're in it together. Okay. I'll see you soon.

[ Sighs ] Hi. That was jill. It turns out that she's in town, so that says to me that we need to move fast on this.

Ashley: You mean, like, today?

Traci: The sooner, the better. Ashley's told you my idea?

Kyle: Just did.

Ashley: And we are both 100% behind you.

Jack: And so the longer we wait, the more philosophical questions I have. Here's one. You think everything you and i have done to each other, everything we've been through, has led to this moment?

Victor: [ Chuckles ] I refuse to indulge in such mystical nonsense, all right? If albert miller indeed impregnated your mother, dina mergeron, well, then, what are the chances that I end up living in the same place where that happened?

Jack: Exactly. What are those odds?

Victor: Astronomically thin, okay? And, by the way, you are very lucky that albert miller abandoned dina mergeron. You know that?

Jack: Believe me, I know I am blessed to have been raised by john abbott.

Victor: Yes, exactly. Then why the hell are you pursuing this?

Jack: If our roles were reversed, you would want answers, too.

Victor: I guess we'll get them soon enough. Meanwhile, I suggest we drink to the fact that you and I have nothing to do with each other -- we're not related one iota?

Jack: Hear, hear.

Victor: Yes, exactly.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Are those the dna results or what?

Jack: No. It's something else.

Victor: What?

Jack: I have to go.

Victor: I'll take care of this.

Jack: I got it.

Billy: Listen, I'm sorry, okay? I don't want you to leave, either. And I understand that you don't -- you don't like the gambling.

Phyllis: You do?

Billy: Something is gonna have to change, clearly.

Phyllis: I'm happy you're saying that to me. What ideas do you have?

Billy: From now on, the gambling is something that i keep to myself. I won't do it in front of you, i won't talk to you about it, and it's probably better that you don't bring it up to me.

Phyllis: Sweetie... I don't think that's gonna work, 'cause we have to keep things open...

Billy: We will keep everything open.

Phyllis: ...With one another.

Billy: We will. We always do, except just not this. This particular issue, obviously, is a problem for us. It ends up hurting us, so...

[ Cellphone rings ] Traci, hey.

Traci: Honey, I need you to come home now. I'll explain everything when you get here. And, billy, bring phyllis with you, okay?

Billy: All right. We're on our way. Traci needs us to come to the house.

Phyllis: Now?

Billy: Yes.

Phyllis: Why?

Billy: I don't know why, but she sounded urgent. Come on.

Traci: They're coming. That's everyone. Are you two ready for this?

Ashley: Ready as I'll ever be. By the way, thank you very much for taking the lead on this.

Traci: Don't thank me yet. We have a long way to go.

Cane: Hey. My daughter. Are you all right?

Mattie: You have to know i needed to do this.

Cane: Okay. What did you do? 'Cause I know they didn't arrest you for a picket sign and a matching t-shirt.

Mattie: Those are for demanding that the state release mom... after I chained myself to the prison gate.

Cane: [ Sighs ] Mattie.

Mattie: Prison should be for real criminals, not people like mom who make one terrible mistake and then own up to it.

Cane: Part of me applauds your passionate activism, but there's another part of me that is really furious with you right now.

Mattie: So... what's gonna happen to me?

Cane: I'm gonna have to call christine williams and see if i can fix this.

Nikki: Well, thank you for so nicely distracting me with pictures of your house and all your animals.

Matt: You know, just because we're not in touch doesn't mean that I don't think about you and victor... and other people here. How's ashley doing?

Nikki: Ah. She is embroiled in family dramas of her own. But she's back at jabot, where her heart is.

Victor: Well...

Nikki: Oh, there you are! No word, I suppose?

Victor: I am going back to the office to get on with mine.

Nikki: Well, I have work waiting, as well. Would you care to come along?

Matt: I would love that.

Victor: No, no, no. There's no need to have you, all right?

Matt: Well, we care about this. We're family, too, right?

Victor: Good. Then you know where to find me. Okay, my sweetheart.

Jill: I had no idea. I have been lavishing praise and encouragement on billy ever since he became C.E.O.

Abby: Well, this is a huge shock to me, too. Uncle jack, did you know about this?

Jack: Unfortunately, yes. I didn't know the extent of it, though. I thought he was dabbling and still in control of his life.

Ashley: That's because you've been busy living your own life, jack, and it's more than just the job.

Jack: I still should have paid more attention.

Victoria: Even if you had, i doubt you could have stopped billy. I just recently found out about his gambling from phyllis.

Jill: Phyllis. What the hell is wrong with that woman? If she loves my son as much as she claims to, why is it traci and ashley who have said, "enough is enough"?

Victoria: Well, I was married to him, and I couldn't stop him. Phyllis is upset. She is. She's probably just scared, and she feels in over her head.

Traci: Victoria, you mentioned you tried to talk to billy about this.

Victoria: Yes, I did. He instantly got defensive, and he -- he said I wanted to see him fail and that he was gonna prove us all wrong. He was so off base.

Jill: Well, he was lashing out.

Ashley: The whole thing is just very unfortunate -- I mean, especially now. Billy has hit a personal milestone, a high point in his career. But I don't think any one of us could get through to him.

Traci: No, but, as a group, we're a strong, united voice that billy can't ignore. So thank you all for dropping everything to be here for my brother.

Jack: Here we go, people. Be strong.

Billy: Mom. What are you doing here? When did you get in?

Jill: Apparently, not a moment too soon. So... I hear you've been gambling again, billy.

Billy: That's what this is? I mean, you dragged me here for what -- an intervention? Okay. You've all lost your minds, all right? Phyllis, come on. We're not staying.

Phyllis: No, we are. We need to. You need to.

"The young and the restless"

will continue. Look. It's over.

Billy: I-I need you to tell me the truth. Did you know that they were planning this?

Phyllis: I had no clue. And you still think that I need to indulge this charade by staying here? Because if anybody's gonna support me, I would appreciate it if it was you.

Phyllis: I got your back more than you know. That's why I think you need to hear them out.

Billy: I know what's coming. What's the point?

Phyllis: Because you don't think it's anyone's business but yours. And you need to hear how this affects the key people in your life -- that's why.

Traci: Honey... we called you here today because everyone is as worried as I was when ashley told me you were gambling again and that it's escalating.

Billy: Ashley? That's interesting. How did she find out?

Traci: It really doesn't matter how ashley found out. Now we know, and... we're so scared of losing you to this again. And we want you to join the fight to make sure that doesn't happen.

Billy: I know that she brought me here out of love, and... I'm sorry that you all came here today, and, traci, I'm sorry you're upset, but there's no reason to ring the alarm bells, all right? There's no emergency. There's no disaster.

Traci: Good, because we want to address this before it becomes a crisis. Otherwise, then it might be too late. So, billy, just -- w-will you sit down and just listen? Please, honey.

Billy: Yeah, sure. All right. Let's do this.

Traci: [ Sighs ] Thank you. Look, I-I know that you may think that you have this under control, and -- and maybe for a while you did. But that was an illusion. Billy, once you start gambling, you just can't stop... because you have a disease. And I know that you haven't forgotten all the things that happened the last time you let your addiction take over. None of us have forgotten it, and we never will because we don't want a repeat of those events. I-I know I couldn't bear it. Billy, I love you too much.

Billy: I know you do. And I love you, too. And there's not gonna be a repeat of the past, okay? I promise you. I promise all of you.

Victoria: I really want to believe that. But...we've been down this road before, and I know exactly how it ends. We've been to some really dark places, billy, and, somehow, we got out. I don't want either of us or anyone that you care about to ever go back. And if our children were old enough to understand, I think they would feel the exact same way. They need you. So think about them. Think about johnny and katherine. Choose them.

Billy: That's all I think about all the time, all right? I'm not gonna have it any other way.

Victoria: I know you want to believe that.

Billy: [ Chuckles ] I mean, is anybody gonna give me a little bit of credit here? Hmm?

Abby: You've got that. Billy, I have so much faith in you. So does everyone else in this room. You beat this before, and now you are a stronger... more successful person, and you know how to quit, and you will beat this. You just need the specialized treatment to help you get over this -- that's all. And we'll all be your support system.

[ Sniffles ]

Billy: Thank you, abby. Uh, I appreciate you letting me know, or reminding me, just how much everybody cares about me, which is why I'm not gonna let you down, okay? I'm not gonna trash myself or my life, and... I appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedules to come here, but you're preaching to the choir.

Jill: Really? Is that so? Well, then, the choir better stop singing excuses and start taking this seriously, 'cause you've reverted to another dangerous habit of yours, and that is the habit of destroying your life just when it's going too well. Oh, my precious boy, I want everything in life that's good for you, and that includes living up to your enormous potential, which, when you were voted in as C.E.O., I thought you were doing. And now I'm wondering how long it's gonna be before I'm sitting at your bedside in a hospital again, praying that I won't be facing life without my s-son. God. This is bad for my health.

[ Sighs ] And I swear to you, if you keep this madness up, it's gonna be bad for yours.

Billy: See, this is what's driving me crazy right now, okay? 'Cause it's not at all like it was in the past, okay? This is a completely different situation.

Jack: You're wrong. The situation hasn't changed. Neither have you. It's time to wake up and stop lying to yourself before you lose everything.

Lily: So, this project that mattie is working on -- that must be why she was arrested.

Charlie: Mom, this is mattie. How illegal could it have been?

Lily: If the police didn't think she was breaking the law, this wouldn't be happening.

Charlie: Dad's gonna handle it, and even grandma jill's in town as backup.

Lily: Okay. Has mattie been acting weird at all -- I mean, strange in any way?

Charlie: I've barely seen her, okay? She spends all of her free time researching your case.

Lily: Right, unless it's a cover for something.

Charlie: For what?

[ Door unlocks, opens ]

Lily: Oh, my god. Thank god. I was so worried. Were you really arrested?

Cane: Yeah. She was trespassing.

Lily: What?!

Cane: Do you want to tell your mom? Do you want to explain?

Mattie: I was here.

Lily: At the prison?

Mattie: Yeah, right outside the gate. I chained myself to a padlock, and I threw the key in the bushes.

Lily: I'm sorry. For what?

Mattie: As a protect about your sentence. But the police showed up before the reporters could.

Lily: Mattie, that is so reckless and not a good idea in any way!

Cane: I already told her that, but the good news is i spoke to christine williams, and she's not gonna press charges. Instead, she's let her off with a warning.

Charlie: Yeah. You better take it seriously, too.

Mattie: I'm not sorry I did it. I had to do something to get you out of this horrible nightmare you're in.

Billy: You know, jack, even with me running the company and you on the outside, you still had me thinking that we were okay. It was not a week ago that you said that I was nailing it as C.E.O. And that you were proud of me. And I actually bought that. That's gullible, it's sad, but at least now I know.

Jack: When I said it, I meant it.

Billy: Yeah? So, now what? What are you doing now? You're just reversing your opinion so you can get in line and attack me with everybody else?

Jack: I'm not attacking you. It's exactly the opposite. We are all trying to protect you from consequences that scare the hell out of all of us! And that, by the way, includes phyllis.

Phyllis: I don't blame him for feeling attacked. Anyone would, walking into this. You have asked him to stay and to listen, and I think we should give him that much breathing room.

Jill: Well, from the mess that I was faced with when i came home today... I'd say that you've given him a little too much. You've kept billy on such a long leash that there's plenty left over for him to hang himself on. Do you know what that's called, phyllis? It's called "enabling."

Jack: Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. We are not going to put this on hold while we scapegoat phyllis. No. There's only one person responsible for this regressive behavior, and that is the addict. I should know. Pretty exhausting, isn't it, keeping this all balanced day after day, trying to convince yourself that you're on top of this so that you can sell it to everyone else? All the while, you're spiraling out of control, further and further down. You can make a compelling argument for the fact that this time is different than the last time you hit rock bottom. You know what? Any bet, whether it's for 2 bucks or $2 million, horses, cards, brackets -- it doesn't matter. Any bet is one bet too many for someone who's addicted to gambling!

Traci: And admitting that things are out of control -- it must be so hard, because then it means it's time to stop.

Jack: When you're in the middle of it, it's hard to imagine stopping. It's unthinkable, isn't it? That's not reality. That's your addiction talking. That is your sickness getting ready for battle. But you know what? Abby's right. You are strong enough to win. You're strong enough, billy, to pull off anything you want. But this time you're not alone. This time you have all of us -- me, everyone in this room -- on your side, trying to fight next to you. Your addiction doesn't stand a chance.

Billy: Yeah.

[ Sniffles ]

[ Sighs ] Yeah, you make it sound like you're on my side.

Ashley: We all are. I know that since I've returned to jabot, there's been a huge distance between us, billy. I never wanted that, honey. You're my little brother.

[ Voice breaking ] You're always gonna be more important to me than any conflict at work could ever be... 'cause I love you. And I hate to see you wrapped up in something so harmful that it can only end one way. I am begging you to please take as much as time as you have to to conquer this one more time. Please, go to rehab and I will do everything in my power -- I will make it my mission on earth -- to fix our relationship. I love you so much. Please say that you'll go to rehab. Before you say anything, though, would you look at all of our faces? Look at us. We shared our hearts with you, billy. We all have one thing in common. We all want this funny

[Crying] Gorgeous, hilarious... wonderful guy... to be healthy again.

Billy: [ Sighs softly ]

Lily: Mattie, look, I-I want to be clear. I am blown away by your drive and your courage. But you are gonna learn that there are times to act and other times when you should weigh the risks and realize that it's you should just let things go, you know, like this situation right here.

Mattie: The most messed-up, worst one of my entire life?

Lily: I know it is. But you don't want this ruining anything else in your life, like your college applications or even what kind of job you can apply for, because if charges had been filed, that would follow you in your life long after I leave here.

Mattie: [ Voice breaking ] I just hate you being in here like I've never hated anything.

Lily: I know you do.

Mattie: It feels more hateful every day they've got you locked up.

Lily: I know, okay? But that's when you take a step back and you realize that we're one day closer to me being out of here.

Mattie: But today, right now, this is a nightmare.

Lily: I know it is -- a nightmare that we are gonna wake up from soon, and this will all be over.

Mattie: [ Sniffles ] I can't wait. But I will.

[ Footsteps approach ]

Matt: Don't let me keep you from all the work you keep mentioning. Don't worry about me. I'm just checking my e-mails. I know how this thing works. I've used one before, honest.

Nikki: I tried being productive. I can't concentrate until the dna tests are back. I can't imagine what's keeping them.

Victor: Nor have I. Why don't I take both of you out to dinner?

Nikki: Why, darling, that -- that's lovely, but are you sure you want to be out and about right now?

Victor: Well, better that than hanging on the ranch, waiting for the damn news.

[ Knock on door ]

Nate: The wait is over. I have the test results.

Phyllis: What are you thinking?

Billy: That I know what i need to do. And going to rehab isn't it.

Jill: Excuse me?

Billy: No, mom, I've listened to your questions.

Jack: You're making a mistake, billy.

Billy: Jack, you need to just respect my opinion, okay?

Victoria: It's everyone's opinion! Were you not listening to us?!

Billy: I have been listening to you... closer than any of you even think possible, considering what a wreck you've all convinced yourself that I am.

Traci: Why? Why won't you get the help you need?

Billy: Why? Because I'm not leaving my job, which is exactly what ashley and kyle want me to do! It's exactly why they planned this circus in the first place, isn't it?

Kyle: Addicted to gambling. You're paranoid now. Perfect.

Traci: No, you are misreading this whole thing, I swear!

Billy: No, listen, you are misreading this. I am not on the verge of a breakdown, and I am not vacating the position that you all voted me into simply because ashley wanted the job.

Ashley: I meant every word i said! This is about saving your life, billy! Any title or power struggle means nothing next to that!

Jill: Honey, I believe her.

Billy: Good for you, mother. I can make up my own mind.

Abby: And you did that the moment you walked in and saw all of us here, didn't you?

Phyllis: She's right... isn't she?

Billy: [ Chuckles ] You know what? Okay. I'm done. You wanted me to sit here and hear you out? Okay. My obligation is fulfilled.

Victoria: Listen to yourself, billy!

Billy: I am done. I don't need your help. I don't want your opinions. The only thing I want from every single one of you is to leave me the hell alone!

Jill: Billy, no! Billy!
