Amanda: Naya backed out on our meeting.

Devon: Did she say why?

Amanda: No, she sent me a text and said that she couldn't go through with it.

Devon: I'm sorry.

Amanda: Yeah. Me too. You know, after all of this time, I'm not surprised that i am nothing to her, but I thought that she would at least give me one conversation.

Billy: Okay, good. What's next?

Lily: Uh, we're on track to launch the updated mobile app next month.

Billy: Great.

Adam: Yeah, I want to know how you plan to use what you know against my family.

Billy: Pardon me?

Adam: You obviously know about chelsea's condition.

Lily: Yeah, we heard that she was hospitalized.

Adam: Yeah, and now I've got reporters harassing me for a comment so you can churn out more clickbait.

Billy: And you're assuming that they're working with us?

Adam: If you want to come after me, then come after me. Take your best shot, okay? But do not exploit chelsea's medical condition. You guys have already done enough damage with your first little exposé. Look at what happened to faith. And what's happening to chelsea, what she's going through right now, is on you.

Sally: Hi, jack.

Jack: Hi, sally.

Sally: I was just cleaning up after a meeting with lauren, and I will get out of your way.

Jack: Oh, no, take your time. How's it going?

Sally: Good. No. As a matter of fact, everything is actually great, thanks to you putting in a good word with summer on my behalf.

Jack: All I did was remind her that theo was the one bad-mouthing you and that she should judge you by your actions, not your reputation.

Sally: It worked. Summer and I had a nice talk and cleared the air, and we might even become friends. And I owe it all to you.

Kyle: So, how long are you going to be in L.A.?

Summer: Oh, just a couple days. What? I like to have outfits for any occasion.

Kyle: Well, it looks like you have three outfits for every occasion.

Summer: Okay, you know what? Guys are easier. You have a suit and some shirts and some shoes and you're done. Women require a little more nuance.

Kyle: Ohh, because this isn't really a business trip.

Summer: Checking into the feasibility of a jcv flagship store in L.A. Has actually been on lauren's agenda for a while now.

Kyle: Uh-huh.

Summer: What?! I thought now would be a good time to check on it.

Kyle: We both know the real reason you're going to los angeles is to dig into sally's past, find out who she really is, and hopefully gain some leverage.

Summer: Yes. Yes. But I need to do this, kyle. I need proof that sally really is the con artist that I think that she is. So, yeah, that is a big reason why I'm going to L.A., And... I want you to go with me. Needles.

Kyle: I can't just take off of work to help you dig into sally's past.

Summer: Come on, kyle. I'm sure that there is plenty of jabot work on the west coast that you could handle. Hey, why don't you even make an appointment with spencer publications? I mean, I'm gonna meet with them to talk about a possible advertising deal.

Kyle: Would that have anything to do with the fact that wyatt spencer used to go out with sally?

Summer: Happy coincidence. Okay, and besides, doesn't the idea of the two of us going away to L.A. For a few days sound absolutely delicious?

Kyle: Hey. Unfair.

Summer: Come on. And how nice does it sound to not have to bundle up every time we go outside?

Kyle: I am all for less clothes. I would love to go away with you for a few days.

Summer: Okay, perfect.

Kyle: Just not for this. I'm worried if you dig into sally's life, it'll get back to her and you'll create an enemy where one might not yet exist.

Jack: I'm glad you and summer agreed to a do-over. I'd hate for her to form a bad opinion of you for no reason.

Sally: Well, that is nice of you to say, but the truth is, I have had my moments.

Jack: Eh, haven't we all?

Sally: But did yours go viral?

Jack: I think my predate going viral.

Sally: Well, you were lucky.

Jack: [ Chuckles ] So, what happened?

Sally: Okay, well, back in los angeles, one day I had this brilliant idea that I was gonna boost my social-media following by starting a food fight with steffy forrester. Yeah. It was very mature, right?

Jack: I think that goes without saying.

Sally: Well, we both got very into it. We were throwing things and rolling around on the floor like a bunch of 3-year-olds, and by the end of it, we looked like we had been rescued from a dumpster. I had tiramisu all over my face. Actually, I have a photo of it.

Jack: Well, at least you picked a high-end dessert.

Sally: Right?

Jack: So, did it get you more followers?

Sally: Oh, yeah. Uh, my numbers went through the roof, and both of us were social-media superstars for at least a minute and a half.

Jack: Well, there! It was all worth it.

[ Chuckles ]

Sally: Well, then there was the time I decided to disguise myself as a caterer and crash a forrester wedding. And I ended up getting my face shoved into the wedding cake.

Jack: There is a food theme here.

[ Both laugh ]

Sally: Yeah, these took awhile to live down.

Jack: You know what? I think we've all had experiences we wish we could rewind and do over again.

Sally: Ah, well, I doubt yours were as dumb as mine.

Jack: Oh, I think I could name a good dozen where dumb would have been preferable.

Sally: That's hard to believe.

Jack: Okay. Just a few years ago, I was invited to a bachelor party that just happened to be at the same roadside bar as this fella's fiancée's bachelorette party. Michael baldwin, lauren's husband, the district attorney, was also part of our group. And also at the bar was a man he sent away to prison, and he was not in a good mood. Eventually, things got loud and punches were thrown and there was a brawl and everyone ended up in jail. And the next day in

the chronicle, there was an awful mug shot of me right on the cover. Please don't ever look that up. You won't, will you?

Sally: Mm-hmm.

Jack: I don't believe you.

[ Both laugh ]

Lily: You should be here, adam, and you also shouldn't be throwing around accusations.

Billy: As far as accusations go, this is weak.

Adam: Well, if you hadn't have threatened to put out another hit piece, I wouldn't have been forced to go to the lengths I did to find out what you dug up on me.

Billy: I'm sorry -- the lengths you did? Are you admitting that you cut the power to the building the night that chelsea fell in the elevator?

Adam: Listen, you were obsessed with wrecking my life, and you didn't care who got caught in the crossfire. Did you think I was just gonna sit back and do nothing, billy?

Billy: Okay, hold on a second. You're the reason she fell in the elevator, which means you're the reason she's in the hospital, adam.

Adam: Look, I'm gonna appeal to you because you're a decent, rational human being. I have a son who doesn't know how serious his mother's condition is, and I would really like to keep it that way for a while. Okay?

Lily: You're not actually thinking of doing this, are you? The new myww+ gives you get more of what you need,

Amanda: I don't know what i was expecting. I always knew in my head that naya could change her mind about seeing me.

Devon: Well, sure, but that doesn't make this any easier to deal with.

Amanda: What was she gonna say, anyway? "I'm sorry"? And that would be best-case scenario. That wasn't gonna change anything. That's not gonna change the way I grew up.

Devon: How you feeling right now?

Amanda: Angry! Frustrated.

Devon: You hurting?

Amanda: That, too. It took a lot. It took a lot to reach out to naya, and then for her to back out like that...

Devon: What, uh -- what's your next move gonna be?

Amanda: [ Sighs ] I don't know. I don't know.

[ Breathes deeply ] I got to think this through. I --

[ Sighs ] It seems wrong, going back to illinois to confront her. Making demands on here -- that's not gonna get me anywhere. I guess all I can hope for... is that naya has a change of heart.

Adam: Did she get any sleep?

[ Keys clatter ] Chelsea, look, I know that you're scared and you're anxious. But you need to get some rest. It's very important. I have some great news. Do you remember dr. Cavett? She's on her way here right now.

[ Raps table ] And she specializes in stroke patients, and she has had extraordinary success with her protocols. I mean, she's in pretty high demand, but victor went all out to make sure you get the best treatment, so she's gonna be coordinating your care. She's gonna be working with your team. And you know what else she said? She said it was a good idea to bring you home and treat you where you can be most comfortable. So...see? You have nothing to be nervous about. We've got everything covered. All you have to do -- you got to focus on getting well. And I'm gonna take care of everything else.

Lily: Doing a story on chelsea was never on the table.

Billy: Doesn't mean it can't be now.

Lily: We don't even know how bad her condition is, and I'm not gonna exploit her.

Billy: I'm not talking about exploiting her, but adam just admitted that he cut the power in the building the night that chelsea fell in the elevator. He's directly responsible for her condition.

Lily: No, we don't know that.

Billy: We do know that. He just admitted it. And this is his pattern, lily.

Lily: Okay, we have many other stories that are a much bigger priority.

Billy: So, what, now adam gets to dictate what we publish?

Lily: No, I am asking you to take a step back. You haven't even considered the broad implications because you're so focused on getting something else on adam.

Adam: No, no, that's not what this is about.

Lily: Oh, come on, billy. Really?

Billy: It's not. We just talked about being arbiters for the truth, and the truth is, adam is responsible for chelsea's condition. And I can't think of one good reason why we should give him a pass.

Lily: Okay, when we first started working together, you asked me to keep you in check if you start making things too personal. Well, that's exactly what I'm trying to do right now.

Billy: I mean, I can't believe that you still think that I can't separate my personal feelings and business.

Lily: Fine. Then prove me wrong.

Amanda: What are you two arguing about?

Billy: We're not arguing. We're having a spirited discussion.

Lily: No. We're arguing.

Billy: We're considering running another story that involves adam.

Lily: No, you're considering running another story.

Amanda: I thought we already decided against running a follow-up story. What happened?

Lily: Chelsea's been having some health issues.

Billy: As a result from the fall that she took in the elevator. Apparently, she had an aneurysm that caused a stroke. Adam had the audacity to come here and blame me for it.

Amanda: Because of the exposé?

Billy: He assumed that we were gonna write a second exposé, which I think is a good idea right about now. The point is, he admitted to cutting the power in the building so he could break into my hotel room while I was stuck here.

Amanda: He told you that?

Lily: No. In so many words.

Billy: He basically admitted it, stopped short of giving us a play-by-play.

Lily: That's not gonna hold up in court.

Billy: It doesn't have to hold up in court. His whole defense is that this exposé caused him to commit multiple crimes, and it's somehow my fault that chelsea sustained a head injury?

Amanda: That does sound pretty crazy, and it's yet another example that adam is incapable of taking responsibility for his actions.

Amanda: Okay, sorry, are you agreeing with billy that we should do another story on adam?

Amanda: No, I actually think you should not.

Billy: Hold on a second. You just said that he is --

Amanda: That adam is a loose cannon. That is not news to anyone. I need to side with lily on this one. Even if you're involvement were peripheral, you were still at the front of the chain of events. That can open us up to accusations that chanccomm is creating news, and that is a perception that I would rather avoid, especially since we have already green-lit a story about billy's wrongful arrest, right?

Lily: And there's also human decency, as well.

Billy: Human decency? With adam? I don't think so.

Amanda: I've already given you my legal advice. I'm gonna let the two of you hash this out.

Billy: Well, clearly that's another person that thinks adam is responsible for ruining people's lives.

Lily: Oh, my god, you're missing the point. Look, I don't care about adam. I don't want connor to get hurt. What if this were johnny and katie and you were responsible for hurting victoria? Wouldn't you want to protect them from finding out at all costs?

Billy: So instead we protect adam? When he goes around and just ruins people's lives? Are you okay with that?

Lily: You know, you still haven't answered my question, which makes me think that maybe adam's right. Maybe you are just obsessed.

Billy: I see no reason to continue this conversation.

Lily: [ Sighs ]

Summer: Oh! Sorry, jack. I just left a file in here.

Jack: That's alright. Come on in.

Summer: Okay.

Jack: So, how are things going over at jcv?

Summer: They're good. Yeah, we have some exciting things coming up.

Jack: Glad to hear it.

Summer: Um, I actually wanted to talk to you. I had a conversation with sally.

Jack: She told me.

Summer: She did? Huh.

Jack: She said the two of you decided to, uh, clear the air and start over. I heartily approve. I'd hate to think you would form a permanent opinion of her based on disparaging remarks from theo.

Summer: Well, she, uh, certainly made a compelling case for herself.

Jack: Summer, I honestly think the two of you could become friends. At very least, she is a valuable asset to you at fenmore'S.

Summer: Yeah, I just -- i really hope that sally realizes how lucky she is to have you in her corner. Jack, you really look out for her, not that she's not completely capable of looking out for herself.

Jack: She is capable. She is ambitious. She's driven, willing to take chances to get what she wants.

Jack: These are all excellent qualities if they're properly channeled...and if she doesn't get in her own way and become her own worst enemy.

Summer: Wow, she has really gotten to you. I hope you don't mind me saying that.

Jack: No, I don'T. The truth is, she reminds me of myself back in the day. My father always had troubles with my wild side. I know that's hard for you to believe, but I actually had one of those.

Summer: No, I have heard the stories.

Jack: It was always a point of contention between the two of us. When was I gonna stop taking shortcuts? When was I going to grow up? And then I finally did. You know something about that.

Summer: I mostly certainly do, yeah.

Jack: And look at you. You had support and encouragement from others who helped shape and guide your choices, who shaped who you are today. Now look at sally. She's brand-new to the jabot/fenmore's family, she has lots of drive, lots of ambition, and she needs some guidance. If I can help channel her considerable drive into something positive, I look at that as a wonderful opportunity.

Kyle: [ Sighs ]

Sally: Hi, kyle.

Kyle: Sally.

Sally: I assume summer told you we spoke?

Kyle: She did.

Sally: And that we decided to start fresh and get past any misunderstandings.

Kyle: Like her trying to get you fired?

Sally: Exactly.

Kyle: And you going after her job and boyfriend.

Sally: I wish theo had never put that into summer's head.

Kyle: Yeah, well, you know theo. He loves to stir up trouble. Just like him to drop a bomb like that on his way out of town.

Sally: If I was that diabolical?

Kyle: Had me wondering for a little bit, too.

Sally: Did it, now?

Kyle: For a minute.

Sally: Well, I'm glad we were able to clear all that up.

Kyle: What are you smiling about?

Sally: It's not important.

Kyle: Oh, come on. You can tell me.

Sally: Okay. It's just that everybody always thinks I have this hidden agenda when the truth is I have been very up front about who I am and what I want since the very beginning.

Kyle: Mm.

Sally: Remember that conversation we had when I first came to town?

Kyle: The one about how, to be successful, you need to be able to name, as specifically as possible, your goal.

Sally: Oh, I see I made an impression.

Kyle: That you have.

Sally: And it works, too. First you have to visualize it. And then you can start planning for it and taking steps to get what you want.

Kyle: Words to live by.

Sally: That's right. Ok everyone, our mission is to provide complete,

"The young and the restless"

will continue.

Adam: Please.

Dr. Cavett: Hello, chelsea. My name is dr. Lena cavett. Just to give you a little of my background, I'm a specialist who deals with people who suffered a stroke. I've treated cases ranging from mild to severe. Now, it's too early to determine where yours falls within that spectrum, but I have achieved a very high percentage rate of success. So I'm hoping that brings you some comfort. I know this is scary. You're gonna have a lot of questions along the way. And I promise to be as honest and straightforward about your treatment and prognosis as i can. Adam tells me you're a fighter. That's good...because we're gonna need that fight to recover from this. So, we begin with a few tests to assess your function. From there, we'll set a baseline to determine what your next stage of therapy will be. Are you ready to get started?

Devon: Yo, yo.

Lily: Hi.

Devon: Hey. Brought you a caffeinated refreshment.

Lily: Oh. Wow. Thank you.

Devon: You're welcome. From the tone of your text, it sounded like you were going through something, so... tell me what's going on.

Lily: Uh, no, I'm just -- I'm having a disagreement with my business partner about a story.

Devon: Well, what's new with that? You and billy have been bumping heads since you started working together.

Lily: Yeah, that's true.

Devon: So, why's it bugging you so much now?

Lily: Well, because, you know, we've become involved.

Devon: Have you, now? Oh, boy. I remember you talking about the possibility of that, but i didn't know you actually did it.

Lily: Well, I mean, I didn't know that it would ever happen. You know, when I first started working with him, things were very contentious between us. And they still kind of are, right? I mean, billy is still billy.

Devon: Yeah.

Lily: He's always doing something outrageous, and I'm trying to talk him out of it.

Devon: Alright. But now it's about more than just work, right? Well, you know I have some experience with this kind of thing from spending all that time working alongside hilary at

gc buzz. And, I mean, you remember. We would argue constantly. It's not easy. It's not easy to keep the professional and the personal separate. And for you guys, this is a lot of face time for a new relationship. That can cause a strain, too.

Lily: Yeah, that's what I'm realizing.

Devon: So, what are you most worried about?

Lily: Well, I'm not so much worried as more I've just come to terms with the fact that i have gotten myself involved with a very complicated person.

Devon: I mean, that could be a fun thing, too, to be with someone like that, someone who's that unpredictable and passionate, intense, you know? I miss it sometimes.

Lily: So, what? Are you saying that I should just be grateful that I have billy in my life at all?

Devon: If that's what you take away from this, then it doesn't matter what I think.

Jack: Billy! Hey. Come on over. Hey. Rough day?

Billy: You know, business as usual. You, on the other hand, look like you're on top of the world.

Jack: Oh, I've been sitting here thinking back, doing a bit of reminiscing. I do a lot of that lately.

Billy: Good old days, huh?

Jack: I've been thinking about the people that supported and mentored us, people who reached out to us with grace, who gave us second chances we probably didn't deserve. And I can't seem to figure out when we officially stopped blowing those chances.

Billy: Well, I don't think I'm done.

Jack: What does that mean? You okay?

Billy: I don't know. Maybe. Probably not.

Jack: You want to talk about it?

Billy: [ Sighs ] Well, jack, you hit the nail on the head when you mentioned second chances. I mean, I've had a million of them. I've screwed up most of them, as you would know. This time, it felt different, you know? I was in a good place. I was happy. The kids were great. I got a job that I love and I'm good at. I got...people who care about me that I want to think the best of me. And there's just this thing that keeps getting in the way. And I don't know if it's ever gonna stop.

Jack: This thing -- what is it?

Billy: My hatred for adam.

Jack: Well, I think you're probably not alone in having those feelings.

Billy: I doubt they compare.

Jack: Why? What have you done now?

Billy: Nothing yet.

Jack: Okay, what are you planning on doing?

Billy: I don't know yet.

Jack: Okay, my cheap advice -- whatever it is, don'T.

Billy: Well, I think that's easy for you to say. My animosity towards adam led me to be wrongfully accused of attempted murder. And I still can't let it go. I mean [Chuckles] I just keep getting to this point where I'm willing to throw everything away to see him miserable.

Jack: I think a psychiatrist might say you are letting adam control you.

Billy: Yeah, a psychiatrist did say that, and she was absolutely right. It's -- [ Sighs ] It's like I'm in this terrible abusive relationship and I can't get out. I know I should because it's wrong, but I just feel...stuck.

Jack: Well, the fact that you can talk about that, the fact that you can see what the issue is, maybe it's time to address that issue. You say you want to hurt adam, and you're the one that's suffering. So stop suffering.

Billy: That was very shrink-y of you, jack.

Jack: Hey, what do you say we sit and have something to eat and talk? You do the talking. I'll do the listening.

Billy: No. No. Thank you. I got to figure this out on my own. It's all getting in the way of something that I care about a lot, something that I... don't want to lose. Make fitness routine with pure protein.

[ Knock on door ]

Billy: Hi.

Lily: Hi.

Billy: Look, I was being an ass.

Lily: I'm really sorry.

Billy: [ Sighs ] Please come in. Ladies first.

Lily: I just -- I wanted you to know that I really do admire your passion for getting at the truth. And I think I need to do a better job of looking at things from your perspective.

Billy: And I have a blind spot when it comes to adam. And that needs to stop.

Lily: [ Breathes deeply ] I'm really happy to hear you say that.

[ Laughs ]

Billy: It's about time, right? I've been thinking a lot about your question you asked earlier about whether I would want johnny and katie to know some of the things I've done in my past. The answer is no. I wouldn'T. I have put their mother in danger on more than one occasion. And it would kill me to think that that's the man they think i am...'cause I'm not that guy anymore. I don't want to cause chelsea and connor any pain. Adam -- well, that's a whole other issue that I have to figure out. But I think I've come to a solution as far as chanccomm's concerned. No more stories about adam. It's 100% off the table. It's not worth it.

Lily: Billy, that's really...

Billy: Sensible?

Lily: [ Laughs ] No. I was gonna say magnificent.

Billy: Oh, a promotion? I'll take it.

Lily: I think this is why jill wanted us to work together -- 'cause we're different and, you know, I can help slow you down so you actually have time to think about things.

Billy: I appreciate you being that person.

Lily: I do think there's a bigger issue of how our relationship will affect our business. And I think it's already affecting it...'cause I don't know if it's possible for us to keep our personal feelings out of it. So I think we have to be honest with each other and ask ourselves, "can we do this? Can we work together and be together?"

Adam: Good job, chelsea.

Dr. Cavett: I know that wasn't easy or comfortable.

Adam: Well, we are just getting started, and we have the best team behind you.

Dr. Cavett: Physical therapy is a demanding process. It takes time and patience. A lot of patience. Results will depend on sticking to the regimen. But I can already tell that you have a strong will and desire to get better. That's half the battle. Excuse me while I make some notes.

Adam: Mm-hmm. Hey. You heard what the doctor said. Okay? You can do this. We can do it together.

[ Sighs ]

[ Exhales sharply ] Didn't we -- didn't we always used to say that we could get through anything as a team? Alright? I love you so much. And I want our team to win, and that's why I'm going to be by your side...through this whole thing.

Summer: Kyle.

Kyle: Never mind. Thanks. I need to talk to you.

Summer: Um, your dad -- oh, my god.

Kyle: What happened?

Summer: It is so much worse than I thought. Sally has really gotten to him. She has that man completely snowed.

Kyle: What'd he say?

Summer: I mean, he just was going on and on about how much potential she has and how she reminds him of his younger self and how, oh, it was his pleasure to give that plucky little nightmare a boost. It was all I could do to keep from throwing up.

Kyle: Yeah. I know. That woman can't be trusted.

Summer: Okay, well, that's a -- that's a new attitude. What happened?

Kyle: Let's just say I got a dose of sally spectra in action.

Summer: Well, please do tell.

Kyle: I was testing her, throwing out some bait to see if she'd bite.

Summer: And did she?

Kyle: Not directly. She was working me, though. But it wasn't anything explicit, but, man, she's good. She can turn that charm on and off like a faucet. You were right.

Summer: Well, I told you.

Kyle: Sally has definitely done this before. You don't get that skilled without some practice.

Summer: Exactly, which is why I want to go to L.A. If I can prove that she is not the innocent that she pretends to be and that she's been working jack and lauren and whoever else, then I can prove that I'm not crazy for thinking that she's going after my job and whatever else she can get her dirty hands all over.

Kyle: Well, you don't have to prove anything to me.

Summer: Wait -- does that mean you're coming with me?

Kyle: Hell yeah. Let's find out who the real sally spectra is.

Women choose renew

life probiotics

Adam: Well, I liked dr. Cavett. Didn't you? She seems like she's on top of things.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Hello, connor. How you doing? No, your -- your mom is asleep right now. But I'll have her call you when she wakes up. Yes, of course I'll tell her that you love her. And she loves you, too.

Billy: Yes. We can do this. We can make this work. And we're gonna do it by being respectful of each other and by acknowledging that we bring out the best in each other because we like each other and we like being together. But that doesn't mean that we're not gonna disagree or argue. I mean, we're gonna challenge each other. That's for sure. But I think that's good. That's what gonna make us healthy. And it's gonna keep things exciting. And it's gonna give us plenty of opportunities to make up, which I think we should do immediately in this room...

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Billy: ...On that bed.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Sally: [ Sighs ] Hey, coco. How are things going here? Uh... [ Sighs ] Surprisingly well.

Devon: Hilary?

Amanda: Guess again.

Amanda: [ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ] Hi, naya. Um... this is amanda. I know that this is a very difficult and confusing time for you. And it -- it is for me, too. I just really hope that you have a change of heart about meeting with me...because I don't want anything. I don't want to pass blame. I just want to talk.

[ Knock on door ]

[ Sighs ] Bye.

Imani: Leave my mother alone.
