Kyle: Hey, dad.

Jack: It's almost eerily quiet in here. I take it that means harrison is settled in for the night.

Kyle: Not quite yet. But he's no longer upset about the ball he lost at the park, but he's still awake.

Jack: Never underestimate the energy of a 3-year-old.

Kyle: Yeah, I'm learning that lesson.

[ Chuckles ]

Tara: Hello, gentlemen.

Kyle: Hey! How was your walk?

Tara: Oh, it was nice to get some air. Where did summer go?

Jack: Summer was here?

Kyle: Yeah, for a little while. She was dealing with something from work, but she didn't stick around long. I was about to go upstairs and read harrison a bedtime story, unless you'd rather.

Tara: No, I'm sure harrison would love for you to read to him.

Kyle: I do have a good book in mind for him tonight.

Jack: So, can I interest you in a nightcap?

Tara: Sure, I could use one. It's been a long day.

Jack: Oh? Anything you feel like sharing? I'm here to help in any way i can.

[ Knock on door ]

Phyllis: Hey.

Summer: Hey.

Phyllis: Alright, you wanted to talk. You sounded upset. I didn't want to wait. What's going on?

Summer: I'm happy to see you, so thank you.

Phyllis: Sure. Want to tell me what's going on?

Summer: [ Sighs ] Um... I may have to let kyle go.

Phyllis: Uh, why would you need to do that?

Summer: So that he can have the life that he deserves.

Nate: I'm glad you could make it.

Chelsea: Victor. What are you doing here?

Victor: Checking up on you, that's all. Hope you're comfortable here. Because you're never gonna get out of here.

Adam: Hey. Could I get a black coffee, please?

Nick: What's up?

Adam: Uh, not much.

Nick: Can't stand going home if there's no one to go home to, huh? Did you know that your toughest cleaning problems

Nate: [ Sighs ]

Elena: So, what is all this?

Nate: Since you saved my life, I figured the least I can do is treat you to a meal.

Elena: Ah. No shellfish, I assume.

Nate: [ Chuckles ] I will never get within a mile of a crab cake ever again.

Elena: [ Chuckles ]

Nate: But, um, I wanted to finish our conversation, since you sort of ran out in the middle of it.

Elena: I didn't run off. I got called in to the hospital. You know, there are other people to save besides you.

Nate: Touché. It was bad timing because I told you I didn't want you to take that job in baltimore, but i didn't get a chance to tell you why.

Elena: So there are some things that we do need to discuss.

Nate: And we will get into all of it, but first things first.

Tara: Thanks for your concern, jack, but it's just more of the same. The ongoing situation with the divorce and custody. And even though ashland and i have come to some sort of agreement, I won't be able to exhale until it's signed, sealed, and delivered. You know what I mean?

Jack: Oh, I do know what you mean. I have been divorced myself -- more than once -- and I know it ain't over till it's over. I've also been involved in a custody battle over kyle years ago. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

Tara: Do you mind telling me what happened back then? I mean, obviously, it was a major chapter in both your and kyle's lives. And he and I don't know everything about each other yet, so I'd love to fill in some of the gaps with what happened with his family, now that we're raising harrison together.

Jack: Well, they're pretty unpleasant memories, but I -- i think you're probably right, that was a significant time, so, yeah, I'm -- I'm willing to share.

Tara: Well, I would love to hear whatever you're comfortable sharing. It would be invaluable.

Phyllis: I don't understand this. What is going on? I mean, did kyle say something? Is he unsure about the wedding?

Summer: No. [ Sighs ] Nothing that kyle said or did. This is about me as much as it's about kyle.

Phyllis: Alright. Tell me what's happening here, please.

Summer: Look, mom, if I tell you, you have to swear that it will never leave this room, ever -- like I cannot forgive you if it does.

Phyllis: Okay, alright. It won'T.

Summer: Mm, I, um -- I was offered a job to take over as the creative director of marchetti.

Phyllis: [ Gasps ]

Summer: A major fashion house in milan. I was sought out for the position, and I might take it.

Phyllis: This is amazing! Marchetti! Summer, I am so proud of you. Where's the problem? I -- are you worried about leaving genoa city? I mean, we'll miss you, your father and I, but we understand. I mean, are -- what's going on with kyle? How does he feel about it?

Summer: If I go, I have to go alone. I can't -- I can't ask kyle to leave his son.

Phyllis: What? Well, what did kyle say?

Summer: I told you this is a secret, so...

Phyllis: Wait, you haven't told kyle? You have to tell him. Come on, he's your fiancé. You can't make decisions like this without telling such an important person in your life, summer. Please. And don't worry about it. I mean, come on, he loves you. He'll make this work with you.

Summer: Mom, you can't raise a young child from thousands of miles away. And I-I don't want to make kyle have to choose between me and his son. And him and harrison just started to bond, and I don't want to interfere with that. And what about him being the co-ceo of jabot with jack? I mean, he's worked his entire life to work alongside his dad, right?

Phyllis: Yeah. I mean, this is all lovely and noble. I don't know why you're playing a martyr.

Summer: I'm not doing that.

Phyllis: Yeah, that's exactly what you're doing. I don't get what's happening here.

Summer: [ Groans ]

Phyllis: I really don'T. I mean, why would this decision affect your relationship with kyle at all?

Summer: If I take this offer, I have to walk away -- clean. I will -- I will leave kyle and I will relieve him of that burden.

Phyllis: Alright, well, this is a sacrifice that would break your heart, not to mention break kyle's heart.

Summer: Ma, I'm not trying to hurt kyle. I'm just trying to protect him.

Phyllis: From what?

Summer: [ Sighs ] Your heart is at the heart of everything you do.

Victor: You really blew it, didn't you?

Chelsea: [ Sighs ]

Victor: What was your plan -- poison rey, make sharon suffer, put adam behind bars?

[ Chuckles ] Sharon is happy. Adam is free. And you're locked up.

Chelsea: We made a deal. You and the doctor have to let me out of here now that I'm no longer facing prison time. Think about connor! He deserves his mother!

Victor: You're a lousy mother. He doesn't deserve you. He deserves better than you. Don't be angry with me about what happened to you. You're responsible for all this.

Chelsea: Get out. Get out!

Adam: Chelsea, calm down. Please. Don't give the doctors any reason to keep you here any longer than you have to be.

Chelsea: What are you doing?

Adam: I'm trying to help you.

Chelsea: Why?

Adam: I want you to come home. I still love you, and I hate to see you like this.

Chelsea: Wait, really?

Adam: [ Laughing ] No. No! Not at all. Come on, I thought you used to be savvier than this. Do you really think I give a damn about what happens to you now?

Nick: So, why are you drinking night coffee?

Adam: Working late at newman media. You?

Nick: Just picking up some documents at new hope. Figured I'd burn the midnight oil while it's quiet at home.

Adam: So is faith staying with you while sharon and rey are gone?

Nick: Yeah. We're loving it. Christian adores his big sister and loves spending time with her. And it's like, when she's with him, she seems totally carefree, you know?

Adam: Well, I'm very happy for her and that you're able to spend that time with them.

Nick: Thanks. It's been fun.

Adam: So I won't keep you.

Nick: Okay, I guess that's your way of telling me to take off.

Adam: No, I just meant it's nice that you have them waiting for you at home, 'cause when you weren't wrong about me not wanting to go home, 'cause it's just me and my demons. Not that you want to hear me go on about that.

Nick: [ Sighs ] I mean, sitter's not going anywhere for a while. I don't have to rush off.

Adam: You're really up for this kind of conversation?

Nick: There's only one way to find out.

Kyle: Since you showed me one of your favorite books last time, I thought I would bring one of my favorite books this time. It was packed away, but I dug it up because I thought you might like it. It's about a young prince who wanders through a magical forest and meets a dragon who turns out to be more silly than scary. Sound okay? Yeah?

Harrison: Yeah.

Kyle: Well, I first read it when I was your age. I couldn't have imagined that all these years later, I'd be reading it to my own son. It's pretty cool, huh?

Harrison: Pretty cool.

Kyle: [ Chuckles ] Okay.

Tara: That is one crazy story. No offense, but I hope my divorce goes a little more smoothly than that.

Jack: I hope it does, too. You know, it was such a difficult time for everyone. If I'm being perfectly frank, phyllis crossed the line herself, more than once. She felt she'd been put on the defensive and she had to fight for herself, and the truth was diane was a threat. I mean, she loved kyle, but her first priority was always herself, and she wasn't above using her son to get what she wanted.

Tara: That's awful.

Jack: Yeah, that's why diane and I were in such an ugly place when she died. She made more than her share of enemies in this town.

Tara: Well, it sounds like she paid a high price for everything she did.

Jack: Yeah. She just never understood that love always comes first.

Tara: Always.

Phyllis: What are you trying to protect kyle from?

Summer: Nothing, I --

[ Sighs ] I was just upset. I just meant that I -- I just want to do what's best for kyle, and this is all a lot. I just wanted your opinion.

Phyllis: You want my opinion?

Summer: Yes.

Phyllis: Oh, okay, I'll give you my opinion, alright. You -- you're making a decision. You're not talking to kyle. That's wrong. You're not discussing this with him so you can make an informed decision about your future together. I mean, if you're certain that kyle would be miserable going to milan with you, then don't take the job.

Summer: It's not that simple.

Phyllis: Yeah, it is that simple. You have a great job here at jabot. You're in love with kyle. I know that italy is seductive and sexy, but -- but you've worked so hard for everything you've achieved here. Is it worth giving up?

Summer: It's not just a job, it's -- you know, things like this don't come about every day.

Phyllis: Well, neither does a love of a lifetime, which you repeatedly have told me you have with kyle. Summer...I'm not sure what you want from me here. Really, one minute we're talking about color palettes for your august wedding, and the next minute, we're talking about giving up your relationship. I mean, I don't know what you want me to say. Do you want my blessing or do you want me to make the decision for you? I don't know, but see, as a mother, I know that something else is going on here. I know that you're holding back. Look at me. What's really happening?

Nate: To the lady who saved my life.

Elena: [ Scoffs ] I don't need to be toasted for doing what any doctor or friend would do under the circumstances.

Nate: Okay, okay. Forget the toast.

Elena: When you asked me to stay in genoa city, you said it had nothing to do with me helping you out. But of course it does. Patients are grateful. I've gotten letters and teddy bears. I've even gotten an engagement ring, which, of course, i promptly returned. And I'm sure you've gotten the same. So...you have to know that it's just fleeting gratitude from someone who is just happy to be alive.

Nate: I'm aware of the phenomenon, but --

Elena: But even though I'm so appreciative of all of this, i have to make a decision, and i have to start planning for the long-term -- for my career and for my personal life.

Nate: Are you saying you're going? It's a done deal?

Elena: I haven't made up my mind yet.

Nate: Elena, I would never want to get in the way of your happiness. But I hope you'll stay because i want you here with me.

Kyle: "The knight protected the dragon and, in return, the dragon made the knight laugh." You getting sleepy? We can finish it tomorrow.

Harrison: No, keep reading, please.

Kyle: Alright, sir harrison. As you wish.

Jack: In spite of all the conflict, I did my best to make kyle know he was loved and wanted.

Tara: Nothing is more important.

Jack: Nothing. I tried to comfort him after diane's death. It...it wasn't easy. Though, eventually, smiles became easier for him -- particularly when he was on the ice.

Tara: The ice?

Jack: Oh, yeah. Kyle loved hockey. Yeah, skates on his feet, stick in his hand, he was happier than man was meant to be. So much so that he convinced me to let him go to a boarding school with a storied hockey program, and some things never change. He still loves hockey.

Tara: Oh, wow. I had no idea. All I can say is that, even after everything you all went through, you succeeded in raising a wonderful son. And I admire how close the two of you are.

Jack: It hasn't always been that way. There were some epic clashes along the way.

Tara: But you got past them, and look at where you are now. And I would venture to say that's because the moment you learned kyle was your son, you felt a special connection to him. There's no denying it. You held him close to your heart and never let go.

Kyle: "In the end, the knight and the dragon became the unlikeliest, but the best of friends." Don't worry, we'll read it again.

Tara: Well, I'm impressed with the entire abbott family. I mean, you're all so tight-knit. Why do you think that is?

Jack: Oh, my dad gets all the credit for that. My mother was a force of nature, but not terribly maternal. We all made our peace with her before she died last year, but my dad was the emotional center of the family. Greatest father any kid could have.

Tara: And you've followed in his footsteps.

Jack: Oh! I try. Haven't even come close.

Tara: Well, having never met him, I can't comment on that, but I know that ashland admired your father. And for what it's worth, I think you're an extraordinary dad, and I know kyle will be, too, because of the example that you set.

Jack: Well, now you're just flattering me.

Tara: Oh, that's not true. But if I'm making you uncomfortable, you want me to take it back?

Jack: No, absolutely not.

[ Both laugh ]

Summer: Okay, well, nothing nefarious is going on.

Phyllis: Then why the cloak and dagger? None of this makes sense.

Summer: Mom, I just want to keep things private. Okay, it's hard enough without dad and grandpa and the rest of my family weighing in on my personal life.

Phyllis: Okay. So where's kyle anyway?

Summer: He's sleeping over at the abbott house for harrison tonight.

Phyllis: Okay, with harrison. Is tara there? Uh-huh. I assume she's real happy that he's spending the night, isn't she? Okay. What's going on with tara? Did something happen?

Summer: Yes. I've just been feeling the ground shift from under my feet ever since tara and harrison came into town.

Phyllis: Mm-hmm.

Summer: And I don't resent it, you know? I know that harrison is -- and he should be -- the most important person in kyle's life. I just can't help but wonder where I fit in to that picture.

Phyllis: Of course, this is completely overwhelming. I get it. Alright, but what -- what about all of that stuff that you were saying about being excited to be a stepmom? What about that stuff?

Summer: Yeah, well, wanting to believe and actually living it are very different things. I don't know, it's a life-altering thing, becoming a parent to kyle's son, and co-parenting with tara and ashland. It's not just gonna be the two of us in this marriage anymore, and, you know, I-I don't know. I have to think, am I really ready for that? These are all the questions that were running through my head when I got that phone call for my dream job, and I don't know, I h-- I... [ Sighs ] I have to wonder, maybe there's a reason why this job position opened up when it did, right?

Phyllis: You mean like it being a sign of some sort? No. No, we control our own fate.

Summer: Okay, you know what, mom? I don't want to fight with you. I don't -- I just wanted your support and a soft place to land in this very difficult moment, and clearly you just -- you can't give that to me.

Adam: What happened to the con artist that I used to know? That was able to manipulate people at will? And you have lost your grip on reality. It's kind of pathetic.

Chelsea: I'm pathetic? You're psychotic. You're the person who should be locked up in here, not me. You're the one who kills, who takes love and crushes it into dust. The whole reason I'm in this place is because you gaslighted me. You let me think you wanted me. You said you were over sharon, when all you did was lie, over and over again.

Adam: You have always known the kind of man that I am. There was never gonna be happily-ever-after for us, so you can just drop this outraged, wounded act.

Chelsea: But I believed you. I believed in us.

Adam: Then you really are out of your mind, which means you are exactly where you should be.

Rey: I am so glad to finally know the truth. All this time, I thought chelsea was playing me, pretending to be insane, but there is no fooling me now.

Adam: Well, that's my cue. She's all yours, detective rosales.

Adam: All of chelsea's things are still in the penthouse, so she's everywhere that I look. Every time I see one of her favorite coffee mugs or one of her design sketches, it's just a reminder of how I screwed it up and why I'm alone.

Nick: Well, beating yourself up's not gonna do you any good.

Adam: I know. But I should take some responsibility for that. It was my choices that led her down this horrible path to where she is now. She's suffering, and now I'm worried that connor's gonna suffer, too. He has no idea what has gone on. He wants to see his mother, and she's desperate to see him, too.

Nick: You gonna take him to see her at the hospital?

Adam: I told her I thought we should wait till she's better, maybe till she's released, so it's less disturbing for connor.

Nick: How'd she take that?

Adam: Ooh, um, she accused me of betraying her and trying to steal our son.

Nick: Ouch. Sorry.

Adam: Yeah, she pretty much hates me.

Nick: That's probably the illness talking.

Adam: Maybe. Maybe not, I don't know. I just want her to get better so she can be the mother that she used to be for connor.

Nick: We all want that, adam, but her psychological treatment's not something you can rush, you know? It's probably best if you just focus on connor's needs right now.

Adam: Well, that is what I'm trying to do.

Nick: And if he is coming home for the summer, you're not gonna be able to keep it from him for very long. You need to find a way to explain it to a little kid so that he can process it. And once he understands it, he's gonna have to see his mom, you know? And if you help connor through this, it might make your demons go away.

Adam: [ Chuckles ]

Nick: And I could also just stick to listening, you know, if you don't want my advice.

Jack: My father was the one who made sure we all stayed close and shepherded the abbott legacy. Now that he's gone, I try to do that. The whole family is involved in the family company. We all gather in this house. We pull together in crisis, even when we're not getting alo-- listen to me, I could go on for days. You -- we don't want that. I'm sorry. [ Chuckles ]

Tara: No, I'm sorry. You came home to relax, and i just keep talking your ear off.

Jack: I love to talk about my family.

Tara: Well, there will be plenty of time to do that, maybe at the family gathering.

Jack: Yeah.

Tara: Looking forward to that.

Jack: In the meantime, if you're interested, I have something you might like to read. My sister traci wrote a history of the abbott family, and I'm happy to get you a copy.

Tara: Well, I'd love that. Thank you. You have been so welcoming and generous to harrison and me.

Jack: Look, I understand this is a difficult time for you with ashland, and I'm sorry, but i want you to know how grateful i am to have my grandson in my life, and grateful to you for facing the circumstances head on instead of keeping up the lie about the paternity or maybe even running away.

Tara: Well, it feels good to be honest after all these years. And I can't tell you how much it means to me that harrison is a part of your family and will be for the rest of his life.

Jack: You're a part of this family now, too.

Phyllis: Okay, I apologize for coming on so strong. I apologize.

Summer: Oh, like a freight train?

Phyllis: Oh, like a freight train, I know. It's hard for me to refrain. It's just who I am. Okay. This is me pulling myself down. I put myself down -- zzz. All the way down.

Summer: Yeah, I know it's --

Phyllis: [ Sighs ]

Summer: I know that it's hard for you to curb that instinct sometimes.

Phyllis: Yeah. It is. Listen, if you... if you want to take this job in italy, go ahead. Okay? I mean, I'll miss you. But I support you 100%.

Summer: Thank you.

Phyllis: And what I was trying to say earlier -- really didn't come out how I meant it -- but [Sighs] If you make a decision, I want you to really, really dig deep to the bottom of your soul and find the truth. I don't want you to live to regret it when it's too late to change your mind, you know what I mean?

Summer: I will, I promise.

Phyllis: Alright. I love you.

Summer: Love you.

Phyllis: Rest, alright? Rest.

Summer: Thanks.

Phyllis: Oh, and just one more thing -- I know you're holding back. I know you are. I'm not gonna push it right now, but you know eventually you will tell me the whole story. You know that, right?

Summer: [ Sighs ]

Phyllis: I love you.

Front loader odor.

Jack: How's your boy?

Kyle: Off in dream land. What have you two been up to?

Jack: Oh, I've been sharing a few abbott family stories with tara.

Kyle: Mm, and she didn't make a mad dash for the door?

Tara: Oh, that would take a lot more than a few colorful stories. And these mostly cast you and jack in a positive light.

Kyle: Oh, that's a relief. Nice job, dad.

Jack: Yeah. Turnabout could be fair play, though. We don't know much about your family. Let's see, I know you're from virginia, you have a brother you don't much get along with.

Tara: We're just very different people, which is a shame because we only have each other now.

Jack: And you said I was harrison's only grandparent, which means your parents passed away?

Tara: Yes, but not until we were adults, so we had a very happy home. My father was a banker, and my mom an event planner. We were very fortunate. Wanted for nothing.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Kyle: Hey, you.

Summer: Hey, um...is now a good time? Are you with harrison?

Kyle: Just went to sleep. I read him a story, and he was a happy little guy before he conked out.

Summer: Oh, um, well, that's awesome. Um...uh...I was just wondering, um, if harrison's already down for the night, would you want to come back to our suite? I know that you were planning on spending the night there with him, but...

Kyle: Um, you okay?

Summer: Yeah, I just don't really want to be alone right now.

Kyle: Okay, yes, of course. I'm on my way.

Summer: Okay.

Tara: Is everything alright?

Kyle: Looks like I'm gonna be spending the night with summer after all. We didn't get to spend as much time together today as we planned, and I've been kind of slacking on my end of the wedding plans.

Jack: Wedding rule number one -- never disappoint the bride. We'll hold down the fort here.

Kyle: Thanks, you two. Good night.

Nate: Elena, uh, did you hear what I just said?

Elena: Yeah, I did. And I-I want to believe you. I do. But after all we've been through, how can I be sure that this...that I'm what you really want?

Nate: [ Chuckles ] Because I see the magic in you. The passion you put into your work. The beauty of your heart and the depth of your soul. You're brilliant and radiant, and you dazzle me. When we first got together, yes, it was too fast. I wanted more than you were ready to give. But when I looked into your eyes earlier today, and I saw your relief that I was okay, i thought I saw something more. That you have deeper feelings. Was I wrong?

Elena: No. You were right. I care about you so much. But I just -- I wasn't sure if you would ever be able to feel this way again.

Nate: My feelings never went away. I just pushed them down because of my own fear and hurt. But when I found out you might be leaving, I...I couldn't hide them anymore. I couldn't hold back and risk losing you.

Elena: So what are you saying?

Nate: I want to let go of the past and move forward with you by my side. Do you think you can take that leap with me?

Elena: This is not the way i expected this evening to end.

Nate: Who says it was over? I think we're just getting started.

Trelegy for copd.

Chelsea: You have to listen to me. I am not really crazy.

Rey: So you're ready to do time for poisoning me and framing adam?

Chelsea: But I didn't commit a crime.

Rey: What would you call it, then?

Chelsea: Justice -- for what adam did to me.

Rey: You don't even know how messed up that is, do you? You think you're being rational, that you're in control. You actually believe in the hope of walking out of here.

Chelsea: Please tell me I'm gonna be released soon. I can't stay in this place.

Rey: Don't you get it, chelsea? Don't you understand where you are? There is more than one kind of prison, and you are trapped in the one in your mind. And you will never be free.

Chelsea: [ Gasps ]

Nick: Alright, well, I guess I will see you at newman media in the morning for our meeting.

Adam: Yep.

Nick: Alright.

Adam: Um, hey. For the record, I, uh, I didn't mind what you said earlier. I know how much you care about connor, so I actually appreciate the advice. Glad we were able to talk things through. It was, uh, unexpected.

Nick: More like a snowball's chance in hell.

Adam: See you tomorrow.

Nick: See ya.

Nate: Everything okay?

Elena: Yeah, I just need to get my phone.

Nate: Now?

Elena: I need to send an e-mail, and it can't wait. "Thank you for the generous job offer, but I have to decline the position at this time."

Nate: That's it? You have turned down the job in baltimore.

Elena: Yeah. Think I have everything I need right here in genoa city -- my work at memorial, the clinic, and you.

Summer: Hey. Hey, uh, thank you for coming back and changing your plans. Best fiancé ever.

Kyle: I was happy to. Are you okay?

Summer: Yeah, of course. Why wouldn't I be?

Kyle: It's just when you called, you sounded not great.

Summer: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to worry you. It's just...you know, with everything going on, I guess I'm just feeling extra sentimental is all. It's silly. I -- [ Chuckles ] I guess I'm missing you a little bit extra, so I wanted to have you near me so I could hold you close.

Kyle: Always be here. I'm yours. Now and forever.
