Episode #11760 ~ Nikki issues a warning; Adam crosses the line; Chelsea jeopardizes her relationship with Nick.

Provided By Suzanne

Chance: I've decided I'm gonna stay here in genoa city.

Abby: To...the future.

Chance: As a part of that future, how about you and I go out on a date?

Nick: I believe adam is using connor's issues to get closer to chelsea.

Phyllis: I don't think adam's intentions are as sinister as you believe, but he's definitely interfering in your relationship with chelsea.

Chelsea: I thought the principal was going to share with us her plan.

Adam: Yes, and I was not expecting her to ask us to withdraw him and suggest we homeschool him for a while.

Nick: I don't know if I can keep doing this. Can you?

Sharon: One piping-hot coffee.

Amanda: Thank you. What do I owe you?

Sharon: Oh, this one's on me. I just want to thank you again for helping out with my community thanksgiving dinner.

Amanda: Well, I loved being a part of it. But I can't say no to free coffee, so thank you.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] Excuse me for interrupting. You are not gonna believe this.

Sharon: What's wrong?

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] I'm so sorry, do you mind if I talk to sharon alone for a second?

Amanda: Uh, yeah. Yeah, no problem.

Sharon: Is it connor? Did something else happen?

Chelsea: It's not what you think, but things just went from bad to so much worse.

Adam: Thanks for letting us drop by.

Nikki: Well, connor, you are always welcome to come visit.

Connor: Thanks. May I see the horses?

Nikki: Yes, you may. Hank is out in the stables. Ask him if he has any carrots to feed them.

Connor: Okay. Bye, dad.

Adam: All righty. Have fun!

Nikki: Connor seems to be doing well.

Adam: Yeah, it's been a good day.

Nikki: Well, I'm sorry he's been going through such a rough time. Victor and I are always here for him. It's important to us that connor knows that.

Adam: He does, believe me. When I mentioned I was coming to the ranch, he was super excited to come along.

Nikki: So, why are you here?

Adam: Will my father be home soon?

Nikki: No, he's out for the evening. Were you hoping to see him or avoid him?

Adam: I was just asking.

Nikki: Okay, let's not play any games. What is the real reason for your visit?

Adam: I just wanted connor to have some fun, okay, while chelsea and I try to figure out what to do now that our son has been...

Nikki: What? Been what?

Adam: Never mind. Chelsea and I will handle it. Besides, I know you'd rather not prolong our time together.

Nikki: Oh, no. No, no, no, no. You don't get to hint that something bad has happened to my grandson and then just leave. You tell me right now exactly what is going on.

Abby: I am leaving things in your capable hands. So unless this place blows up or there's a zombie invasion, please don't call me. Thank you.

Chance: Sounds like you've got big plans.

Abby: As a matter of fact, I have a date, and I don't want anything getting in the way. I have been looking forward to this all day.

Chance: So have I.

Nick: We meet again.

Phyllis: Hey! Cheers. Cheers.

Nick: Cheers

Phyllis: Imagine that -- both drinking alone, again.

Nick: Who says I'm drinking alone?

Phyllis: Uh, well, you are alone.

Nick: [ Chuckles ]

Phyllis: Unless chelsea is coming to meet you.

Nick: [ Sighs ] Is this the button you're always gonna push with me?

Phyllis: I can't help myself. I'll try to suppress it.

Nick: I don't think you can.

Phyllis: Well, allow me to try. Come on, have a seat. Okay. [ Clears throat ]

[ Laughs ] What?

Nick: I have a question for you.

Phyllis: I may have an answer.

Nick: Abby fired you. You are furious with her. Yet here you are, hanging out in her restaurant. Why is that?

Phyllis: I like the food.

Nick: Really?

Phyllis: Yeah. I do like the food.

Nick: That's good.

Phyllis: [ Giggles ] I also like this drink. It's like my new obsession. It's delicious.

Have you ever had it?

Nick: Uh, I've tried it.

Phyllis: Yeah?

Nick: Yeah. It's called the red hot revenge.

Phyllis: And it has a catchy name.

Nick: Yeah, I highly doubt that's a coincidence. This is the kind of thing you find extremely amusing -- hiding out in plain sight while having this beverage in particular while hatching a plan

Phyllis: Oh. Why would you say that?

Nick: Last time I saw you, I warned you not to go down this path. So I'm gonna ask you again -- what are you doing here? Wow!

Phyllis: What you're accusing me of is something I would definitely do, but --

Nick: Yeah.

Phyllis: [ Giggles ] But I'm not here to tangle with abby, and I'm not here to sabotage her restaurant. I just want to drink this because I like it. That's all. Do you want a sip?

Nick: No, I do not. Thank you. I think you came for a beer and a bite.

Phyllis: Suit yourself.

Nick: But you should follow my advice. Stop fuming about losing your job. Now, I don't know why abby fired you, from the grand phoenix, but I'm fairly confident she had good reason.

Phyllis: In her own mind.

Nick: You still have a chunk of the hotel. It's not like you're destitute. You're gonna get a cut of the profits whether you work there or not. So go find something else that interests you and do that.

Phyllis: And what are you suggesting? I hand out my résumé, look at job want ads, whatever? I mean, no -- I'm not doing that.

Nick: Why not?

Phyllis: Because I don't need a job. I need a throne. I need a seat of command.

Nick: Oh, here we go.

Phyllis: I like to shake things up.

Phyllis: Well, you do excel at shaking things up.

Phyllis: It's my superpower.

Nick: Seriously. You're gonna land on your feet. You always do, and you can do it without resorting to dirty tricks because you're very talented, a very smart and ambitious woman. You can do anything. There's something amazing out there for you, and I have faith you're gonna find it.

Adam: It's our second meeting with connor's principal. It's a follow-up visit about the issues he's been having.

Nikki: Well, walnut grove has always been very supportive when it comes to helping troubled students.

Adam: The administration, in its infinite wisdom, has formally requested that connor not return after winter break.

Nikki: I can't believe that.

Adam: Mm. Yeah. How did she put it? They feel their academy is no longer the best place for connor to pursue his education.

Nikki: This is outrageous. How dare she suggest such a thing without coming up with another plan?

Adam: Chelsea and I, we made that point more than once, but the principal was adamant -- it's time to move on.

Nikki: You know the newman family has been extremely generous with walnut grove over the years. Our kids and most of our grandkids attended.

Adam: So we're clear, I'm not here asking you to intervene. I don't want you and victor demanding special treatment and pulling strings.

Nikki: You and chelsea feel that it's best to deal with it yourself.

Adam: Mm-hmm. You know what kills me is... we have been working very hard with connor, and although he is still struggling, now that chelsea moved in, you know, we've had some good moments together. And in those moments, chelsea and I, we still see our same sweet, wonderful, happy kid, and we see what's possible for him in the future, you know, once he gets through this painful chapter. We're doing everything we can to support him and help him feel safe and secure. So for the school to basically tell us our efforts aren't good enough... it really feels like a kick in the gut.

Nikki: Well, this is all very disturbing. If you don't want victor and i to contact the school on connor's behalf, I know that he will want to do whatever he can to help, and that includes just lending an ear, if that's what you need.

Adam: Well, I think I should go clear my head before I discuss that with chelsea.

Nikki: Well, connor will be fine here. Take as much time as you need.

Adam: Thank you, nikki.

Chelsea: Our son needs stability and structure. Going to school provides that. But now the principal is insisting this is for connor's benefit. But of course she's going to frame it that way.

Sharon: I see how upset you are, and I would be, too. Still, I don't really believe that she would suggest something like this lightly, and she had mentioned the possibility before.

Chelsea: But it's not fair. It's as if the school is punishing connor for being in pain.

[ Sighs ] It's like, every time we think we're making progress, something goes wrong.

Sharon: I understand, and I'm here for you, chelsea, whatever you need. Have you and adam told connor that he won't be returning to walnut grove?

Chelsea: Not yet. We want to figure out how we're gonna proceed before we break the news to him.

Sharon: Good plan.

Chelsea: Yeah. And, also, you know, I want to see if I can fight this request from walnut grove, you know what I mean? See if we have any options, legally speaking.

Sharon: Well, I'm not the right person to help you with that, but I think I might know someone who can.

Nick: Thank you.

Phyllis: What you just said to me -- thank you very much. The pep talk. I appreciate it.

Nick: I meant every word.

Phyllis: I'm glad that we can be like this after everything we've been through.

Nick: Me, too.

Phyllis: I have faith in you.

Nick: Yeah?

Phyllis: Mm-hmm. I do. I think whatever's going on with chelsea and adam and connor, I think that you will take care of it like the terrific guy you are. While doing good for the community with new hope.

Phyllis: And, oh, if I didn't like you so much, I would find you annoying.

Nick: See, you had me very until the very end because i know for a fact there are times when you are annoyed by.

Phyllis: No... no!

Nick: Oh?

Phyllis: A little bit...

Nick: A little bit.

Phyllis: A little bit.

[ Both chuckle ] I'll get past it.

[ Chuckling continues ]

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Phyllis: [ Sighs ]

Nick: What's wrong?

Phyllis: Uh, I -- I booked a massage, and they can take me earlier.

Nick: All right, well, then off you go.

Phyllis: Yes. Uh, I'll see you later. I don't want to leave you here alone.

Nick: No, it's all good. I've got plenty of things that keep me busy while I'm eating.

Phyllis: Okay. All right. See you.

Nick: Oh, don't worry, I'll get you a drink.

Phyllis: Oh! Oh, thank you.

[ Giggles ]

Sharon: I assume you two know each other from the grand phoenix, where amanda has been staying.

Amanda: I do recognize you.

Chelsea: Same, although i don't think we've spoken.

Amanda: Well, it's nice to meet you, ms. Lawson.

Chelsea: Likewise. And, please, call me chelsea.

Sharon: So, amanda is an attorney, and since you have some legal questions that need answering, I thought I would bring the two of you together.

Amanda: Anything you tell me will be confidential, and I just so happen to be free at the moment.

Chelsea: Um... well, there's an issue at my son's school. Actually, the teachers and administration are the ones that have the issue with him.

Sharon: I'll leave you to it.

Amanda: Before you continue, I just want to let you know that I don't need every detail about your family life, just enough so that I can grasp what's going on. We'll take it from there, okay?

Chelsea: Right, okay. Sure. Um... here goes. My son is 8 years old. He's going through a really rough time, and his father and i believe that his school is being grossly unfair.

Chance: I'm surprised you wanted to come here. Won't it be like a busman's holiday, or something?

Abby: Not at all. I told my favorite hostess to let the staff know that I am off-duty so no one will bug us, and the sous chef made a very special menu for us. Our table is right this way.

Cane: It's like you've thought of everything.

Abby: I tried. Although, I didn't anticipate big brother.

Chance: As in orwell, "1984" or the tv show?

Abby: As in nick sitting right over there.

Chance: Oh.

Nick: Oh, hey, abby. Chance, how's it going?

Chance: Can't complain, how about you?

Nick: Same.

Abby: I didn't know you were coming in tonight.

Nick: Yeah, I found myself free so I thought I'd come in and grab some dinner.

Abby: Well, enjoy your evening.

Nick: You do the same.

[ Cellphone rings ] Hey, mom. How's it going?

Nikki: I need to see you. Can you come by the ranch? I just had a very enlightening conversation with adam.

Adam: Well, thanks for coming so quickly.

Phyllis: Well, how could i resist such a, uh, intriguing invitation. Command, actually. You could have said "please."

Adam: Mm. Drink?

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Uh, no, I just enjoyed happy hour. I thought you'd be busy with connor and chelsea.

Adam: Oh, they're both out.

Phyllis: Mm. Well, so... what was so urgent? And why did I need to keep this meeting a secret.

Adam: I have a proposition for you. And it's one little guarantee we both get what we want.

Abby: How did you like the first course?

Chance: Outstanding. It's hard to get ceviche in the midwest.

Abby: Well, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I wasn't sure how you'd feel about me choosing the menu on our first date.

Chance: Well, it's fine by me. I like a woman that knows what she wants.

Abby: Good to hear.

Chance: You have come a long way since I was last in town. No more fluffy socialite. Now you're a successful entrepreneur.

Abby: It's given me purpose. My work is very important to me.

Chance: Yeah, I've noticed. I've seen how far you'll go to protect your investment.

Abby: [ Giggles ] Okay. You are not going to let me live that down, are you? Busting me for a jewel heist that I didn't actually commit.

Chance: Why would I? It helped lead us to this moment.

Rey: Hey, you.

Sharon: Hey! I thought you had a mound of paperwork to do.

Rey: Yeah, it took me less time than I thought it would. Any chance you can cut out early?

Sharon: Not for a while yet. I still have some things I have to handle. Not to mention chelsea is here.

Rey: Mm. I'm guessing she sought you out because of connor. More problems?

Sharon: Hopefully I have steered her in the right direction.

Amanda: Well, I am really sorry that you're going through this. I'm sure it's really hard to watch your child struggle.

Chelsea: Sheer torture.

Amanda: But I do admire your determination to do what's best for connor even if it means ruffling a few prep school feathers.

Chelsea: There's nothing i wouldn't do for my son.

Amanda: So the question becomes -- is fighting walnut grove going to provide you and your family with the best outcome?

Chelsea: I mean, the whole thing is so outrageous. Refusing to accommodate a traumatized pupil who just wants to stay in his safe and familiar environment?

Amanda: I understand your point of view, but before we go filing lawsuits, we have to evaluate things from every angle.

Chelsea: Including the school's, I suppose.

Amanda: Yeah. So, a month ago, the principal expressed concern regarding connor's interaction with his classmates, and he's also missed a great deal of school, and the day after your previous meeting with the principal, you kept connor home from school again.

Chelsea: Well, he had a nightmare, and severe stomach pains. We have to take it day by day

Amanda: Wow. He's dealing with a lot. On top of which, he's also falling behind in his schoolwork, even though you and his teachers have done your best to try and get him caught up.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ]

Amanda: It really sounds like connor is struggling, and he's frustrated, and, as a result, he is acting up in class. It's nothing terrible, but it's becoming more and more frequent. Are those the pertinent facts?

Chelsea: Yeah, that pretty much sums it up.

Adam: So, what recourse do we have?

Adam: Well, private schools, they operate under contract law. I was taking a look at walnut grove's policies, and their rules do state that any behavior that repeatedly disrupts the learning environment can result in suspension or even expulsion, but they haven't even taken it that far, so...

Chelsea: Probably because they don't want to piss off the newmans.

Amanda: Yes, that could be the reason, but it could also be that they truly believe that walnut grove is not the right environment for connor any longer. Before turning this into a time-consuming and expensive legal battle, I would recommend that you look into other schools and see if they can better address connor's needs. Or maybe if homeschooling is a better fit. I just think that you and the boy's father... I think you need to ask yourselves -- is it possible that it's just time for a change?

Chelsea: You've given me a lot to think about.

Nick: Thanks for reaching out and bringing me up to speed on connor.

Nikki: Well, it occurred to me that perhaps chelsea didn't want to burden you, but I felt you needed to know.

Nick: Thank you. Despite all the weirdness, that little boy still means so much to me.

Nikki: I know that.

Nick: Well, you said he was here. I wouldn't mind seeing him or hanging out with him a little bit.

Nikki: Yeah. He's had his dinner. He's watching cartoons in the media room.

Nick: Okay. Don't worry. I won't say anything to him about walnut grove or anything his parents are grappling with.

Nikki: Oh, wait a minute. Nicholas, before you do that, um... there's something else that adam said, and I think you might find it quite disconcerting.

Phyllis: What is this mutual beneficial arrangement you are alluding to?

Adam: I need chelsea to be more focused on our family.

Phyllis: Well, she moved in. That's not focused enough for you?

Adam: I feel things are starting to happen between us, but she is torn on living here

Phyllis: Well, because of nick.

Adam: And it's stressing her out, which is not good for her, it's not good for connor, who's at a critical juncture.

Phyllis: Okay, where do i come into this.

Adam: All that I'm asking you to do is pursue your heart's desires.

Phyllis: And that would be?

Adam: That would be nick. You want nick.

Phyllis: Are you asking me to seduce my ex-husband for you?

Adam: I wouldn't put it that way.

Phyllis: How would you put it?

Adam: I'm asking you to acknowledge your own impulses and go after what you want. I mean, you've made so many mistakes that have come back to bite you, now's your chance to make things right. So, what do you say?

Phyllis: I say go to hell.

Enter the golden state.

"The young and the restless"

will continue.

Sharon: This should hold you over till we get back to my place.

Rey: I am counting the minutes.

Sharon: I have a confession to make. Underneath these work clothes, I'm wearing something festive. It's red and white and skimpy.

Rey: Okay. Now you're killing me. I need to get out of here. But promise I won't make you wait too long, and here's something to tide you over.

Rey: Mmm.

Mariah: Look at you two. So caught up in the holiday spirit, you don't even need mistletoe.

Nikki: And adam went on and on that way. He talked about "we" and "us" and "our family." It didn't sound like he was talking about two people co-parenting a child. It sounded much more intimate.

Nick: And you think adam told you this because he knew you would come to me with it?

Nikki: I don't know. I didn't get the sense that he was playing games or trying to be manipulative. He seemed very sincere, speaking from the heart.

Nick: [ Sighs ] Man, it is really difficult to imagine this adam that you are describing.

Nick: Well, no matter how you and I feel about him, it's clear that he loves his son, and now i am hearing about his great yearning to reunite the three of them permanently.

Nick: Adam really said this to you?

Nikki: He didn't have to. I heard a man who is hoping to reset the clock. Pick up where he left off with chelsea.

Nick: Well, I appreciate it, but you're not telling me anything I didn't already know. I've been warning chelsea for a while that my brother wants more. She is living with adam because she thinks that's what's best for connor, so I cannot interfere, but I told her I don't know how much longer I can do this.

Nikki: You haven't given up yet.

Nick: [ Sighs ] I love her, mom.

Nikki: You know I have issues with chelsea, but I do understand how you feel. But if you want to fix things with her, I'm afraid you're running out of time. You've got to do something now.

Chelsea: Nikki? It's chelsea. Oh. I didn't realize -- adam left me a message asking me to come pick up connor. Hi.

Nick: Hi.

Phyllis: How dare you talk to me like that! Do you have such little respect for me? Do you think I'm so pathetic that you're gonna say jump and I'm gonna say, "how high?"

Adam: Calm down.

Phyllis: Don't patronize me. I mean it. Don't you dare patronize me. And how am I doing that, phyllis?

Phyllis: Did you or did you not ask me to make a play for nick so that chelsea would leave him and she would come to you, like I am one of your minions?

Adam: You know what I think, is you're blowing this way out of proportion.

Phyllis: Don't -- don't talk to me like I'm a hysterical female.

Adam: I'm not. And I really don't understand why you're fighting me on this. I'm just trying to get us what we deserve, right? A little happiness at last.

Phyllis: At chelsea and nick's expense.

Adam: Look, my time with chelsea has shown me that we truly do belong together and that we should be a family again in every sense of the word, and not just for connor to help him through this crisis but for keeps. And I also know how you feel about nick. Ever since you split up, you have longed to have him back.

Phyllis: [ Scoffs ] Okay, you know nothing about me.

Adam: You know I think you should just put your wounded ego aside and you should just admit it, that you want nick because you've been contemplating how or when to make that happen. So all I'm asking you to do is just step up that timeline.

Phyllis: Stop pretending like you're doing me a big favor. This is about you and only you.

Adam: Really? Because you haven't been circling him for weeks waiting for your moment, phyllis? And before you tell me I'm wrong, again, I saw you two together earlier at society. I mean, you guys practically had hearts in your eyes. So would you drop the pretense? I mean, I don't understand what the problem is. I thought you'd be up for this. Are you afraid you're gonna get turned down? I mean, what is the real problem here, phyllis?

Phyllis: You. You're the real problem. Ok everyone!

Chance: Being a chancellor, or a newman, or an abbott comes with a lot of expectations.

Abby: You've made your family very proud. I can just picture katherine beaming down at you.

Chance: She was a great lady. I miss her.

Abby: You and a lot of other people. But I know that you're ready for a change. Something a little less intense than being a superhero, but challenging enough to satisfy your inner adrenaline junkie. And I will be very curious to see where that leads you.

Chance: So will I. I have no clue what I'm gonna do next. Although, I am confident that I'll figure it out. But, right now, I am very happy to live in the moment -- your company, this wonderful meal. You know, I bet you ordered something incredible for dessert, but if you're feeling spontaneous, I have an idea.

Abby: Spontaneity is my middle name.

Chance: Huh.

Abby: [ Giggles ]

Mariah: So, I was texting with faith earlier. Shouldn't be long before she's back from boarding school.

Sharon: I can't wait. I miss her so much. There's just tons of things I want to do together.

Rey: Yeah. I'm looking forward to seeing her, too.

Mariah: She always liked you. I think she'll be glad to see for herself just how happy the two of you are right now.

Sharon: Let's hope.

Mariah: So, christmas should be great this year. You know, we're doing everything together. But greatness requires planning. So let's talk about it. Okay? Gifts, uh, meals, special outings. What have we got?

Mariah: Oh. Oh, no. Are we not doing this christmas thing together?

Nikki: I asked nicholas to come over to discuss a family matter. I hope you don't mind, while he was here, I explained what's going on at walnut grove.

Chelsea: Oh, no, of course not.

Nick: Please let me know if there's anything I can do.

Nikki: Yes. The same goes for victor and me.

Chelsea: I really appreciate that, but I have to talk to adam first.

Nick: Yeah. Are you in a hurry, or can we spend some time together?

Nikki: Oh, I'll give you two some privacy.

Chelsea: Oh, that's -- that's not necessary, nikki. I'm so sorry. I just have to get connor home. It's been a long day.

Nick: Yeah, he's, uh -- he's watching cartoons. I'd like to see him before you go.

Chelsea: Sure. So long as you don't plop down next to him and get too caught up.

Nick: I do love cartoons, so no promises.

Chelsea: [ Chuckles ]

Adam: I don't understand why you're so upset. Mutually beneficial arrangements, partners in crime, I thought this is who we were, phyllis.

Phyllis: Wow. Okay. Silly me, I thought we were friends.

Adam: We are friends, phyllis.

Phyllis: No we're not. You don't have the faintest idea of what a friend is.

Adam: You just hate that i know you so well.

Phyllis: You don't know anything about me, adam.

Adam: So was I mistaken about you wanting nick back? Or are you just angry that I'm asking you to admit it?

Phyllis: Okay, you really don't know the difference between the two of us teaming up to take your father down and you asking me to have sex with my ex-husband to serve your own agenda.

Adam: No. No, I don'T. Because it serves your agenda, too.

Phyllis: This is about respect. That's what this is about. It's about not treating those people in your life who you allegedly care about, including your precious chelsea, as pawns.

Adam: Yes, I respect you.

Phyllis: No, you don'T. You wouldn't have asked me that. You would have never asked me that, and you would be trying to make amends. Yeah, I was right. You just made a really big mistake, adam. One you will regret. What does help for heart failure look like?

Chance: There's this little club in lake geneva that just opened a few weeks ago. They're supposed to have killer drinks and desserts.

Abby: I'm up for anything.

Chance: That's good to know. Because I've been thinking about what it would be like to kiss you. And, if it's all right with you, I'd prefer not to wait till the end of the date to find ouT.

Abby: It's more than okay.

Mariah: I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to push. I just... assumed. And there I go, opening my mouth and inserting my foot again.

Sharon: No, it's fine. We just hadn't gotten around to making specific plans. But I'd love to spend time with you during the holidays.

Rey: Well, that works out very nicely since I feel exactly the same way.

Connor: Yay, you're home!

Adam: Hey, you! Oh! Where'd you think I'd be?

Connor: I don't know, I'm just glad you're here.

Adam: Did you have a fun time with nikki?

Connor: After I came from the stables, she sat with me while I ate, then let me watch cartoons on the giant tv in the media room.

Adam: Ooh! That sounds awesome.

Connor: [ Yawns ]

Chelsea: Oh! Is that a yawn I see?

Adam: [ Yawning ] Are you a little tired, champ?

Connor: A little.

Adam: Mm.

Chelsea: Why don't you go upstairs, put on your pjs, and brush your teeth? One of us will be up to tuck you in in a bit, okay?

Connor: Okay.

Chelsea: Okay.

[ Sighs ] He really did have a nice time at the ranch.

Adam: Thanks for picking him up.

Chelsea: Oh, yeah, I was glad to do it. But you never told me why you asked me to go. Did you need more time to think about what we should do?

Adam: I'd like to hear your thoughts. I mean, you have more experience parenting than I do, and my -- my head's a little all over the place about this school thing.

Chelsea: Trust me, I was a mess, too, which is why I went into battle mode. I asked sharon for help.

Adam: And what did she suggest?

Chelsea: That I talked to a lawyer. So I did, actually. I met with amanda sinclair, at crimson lights.

Adam: Mm-hmm. Yeah, I know who she is. So, what did she say?

Chelsea: Amanda helped me realize that I need to come at it with a different perspective, you know, be more calm and rational instead of freaking out all the time.

Adam: Well, that sounds like a good conversation.

Chelsea: Yeah, it was. And I haven't made any decisions yet, but... I don't know, adam, maybe withdrawing connor from walnut grove wouldn't be the worst idea in the world. I mean, at least until we get past this immediate crisis.

Adam: That's an interesting thought.

Chelsea: Nothing's off the table. You know? And we can consider all of our options over the holidays. I just think if we keep our cool and act out of love instead of fear and frustration, we can get through this. We can figure out what's best for our son.

Adam: We can and we will. Together.

Phyllis: Hey, bud, I think i left my credit card the last time I was in here earlier. Can you, uh, check on that for me?

Phyllis: I don't need a table. I came to tell him, that guy... about his brother. You know, and I could blow things up and get something I want out of the deal, but I'm not gonna do it. I'm gonna take the high road. For now. For now.

Nick: Thanks.
