00:00Thank you for trusting me to run the company while you're gone.
00:11I'm going to need you to look out for Newman Enterprises and Chancellor, too.
00:15I thought Cole was being transferred back to Genoa City.
00:18No more trips to Chicago for Victoria and Claire.
00:20No, he was.
00:22But I can tell that Victoria's distracted and I told her that I would keep my eye on things until he's better.
00:27Well, I will keep my eye on things.
00:30And I'll check in on your sister.
00:32That would be great.
00:34I mean, I have to imagine it's a good sign that they sent him back down here.
00:37But I know she and Claire, they're not going to breathe easy until he's better.
00:44Hey.
00:45Look at you. You're looking so much better.
00:50Hey, Dad.
00:52Hey.
00:54It's so good to see you awake.
00:56I needed to see you both again.
01:01Just glad that you made it back in time.
01:09In time for what?
01:11For us.
01:13To say our goodies.
01:15Goodies.
01:41Bye.
01:41Bye.
01:43Bye.
01:43Hey, if I knew I was going to run into you here, I would have brought my guitar.
02:13You okay?
02:15Um, I am not anywhere near okay.
02:21What happened?
02:23Mariah moved out of the house.
02:26Oh, um, the other day when you didn't want to talk?
02:31Yeah.
02:32Mariah told me that she thought we needed time apart so she could fix whatever it is that's wrong.
02:38Did she give you any idea what that could be?
02:40Nope.
02:40And I begged her to tell me.
02:43How can a marriage survive when one wife completely shuts out the other?
02:49What have I done?
03:15Oh, I wish I could go to the south of France with you, spend time together.
03:22Although I would not want to crash that party.
03:24I'm sure everybody there is already at each other's throats.
03:29Or they united against a common enemy.
03:32Aristotle Dumas.
03:34He may turn out to be Cain Ashby's father.
03:37Or Cain himself.
03:39That would be a pretty explosive revelation.
03:45Well, let's just make sure I make it to me some time for the fireworks.
03:49Did she give you any idea how long she was moving out for?
04:02No, she said she would come back when she was ready.
04:04But to me, it did not feel like a temporary thing.
04:08I'm surprised Mariah would do something like that.
04:10But she just doesn't strike me as the sort of person that would run away from her problem.
04:16Or, you know, turn her back on her family for any reason.
04:20Well, I think she thinks she's protecting us.
04:23Yeah.
04:24You know, I made that same excuse for Heather and for Lucy.
04:28Told myself the same lie.
04:31I don't know, sometimes leaving the people you love, it...
04:34It can do more damage than whatever caused you to feel like you needed to leave them in the first place.
04:40Okay, yeah, I said the exact same thing to her.
04:43I told her that I wanted her with me while she tries to fix whatever it is that she did that was so horrible while she was away.
04:52Do you think that she...
04:57Cheated on me?
05:00Well, when I asked her about it, she told me that whatever she did was so much worse than a one-night stand.
05:06Did she tell you anything that happened that night?
05:10Yeah.
05:11She told me she started thinking about Ian Ward.
05:15And the pain was too much for her, so she started drinking.
05:20Probably trying to numb the pain.
05:22I know Mariah has suffered so much trauma in her life.
05:27And I know that I will never fully understand the depth of her suffering.
05:33But I just want the chance to try.
05:36How can I help Mariah if she will not talk to me?
05:39Speaking of fireworks, are you concerned at all about how Victor's going to react when you realize you disobeyed him and did not blow up at Billy?
05:48Well, I can't say that I'm looking forward to facing his wrath, and I'm pretty sure the breakdown in communication is probably the only reason he hasn't fired me yet.
05:59To be honest with you, maybe he doesn't know that you didn't go after Billy.
06:03Look, I know that it would be easier for me to stay here and just wait for some of the smoke to clear.
06:09But this threat to the family businesses from the Ma, it's real.
06:13My father definitely needs to know about his real estate buying spree.
06:18And I don't think that this thing with Cain reappearing in town is a coincidence.
06:23He and or Colin may be running some sort of con.
06:28I just can't shake this feeling that something bad is about to happen to my family.
06:34Hey.
06:36It's not time to say goodbye.
06:37We all know that I'm past this point.
06:44I mean, we all know what's happening here.
06:47No, Dad, you're not.
06:50I am, Claire.
06:52I'm close to my last breath.
06:56And I just, I don't want to waste it on denial.
07:01No, I'm not letting you go.
07:03Not so soon after I found you.
07:04You have to stick around.
07:10But what if I could?
07:14My heart is so full of love for the two of you.
07:21But my body is failing me.
07:25I'm going to go get the doctor.
07:27No, don't go.
07:28Don't go, Claire.
07:29I'm afraid I'm not going to be here when you get back.
07:34I've made peace with all this.
07:39It's a losing battle, Claire.
07:42And I just can't let you and your mom watch me suffer anymore.
07:50I'm sorry, but you can't give up.
07:53You can't give up.
07:55I'm going to have to fight you on this.
07:56No.
07:56It's really not fair.
08:01What about all the things that we missed out on?
08:04What about all the things that we didn't get to do yet?
08:06What about all the things that I missed growing up and all the things that you didn't, you didn't get to be there for?
08:12I know, I know.
08:13Your first words.
08:15Your first steps.
08:19What about my next words?
08:21My next steps?
08:22Your mom, she's got you covered.
08:26Who's going to pick me up if I fall?
08:28You both are going to catch each other.
08:34I know that.
08:38I don't even want to waste one moment now regretting the ones that I've missed.
08:45I just want to use this time to tell you I'm grateful I am.
08:53I want more moments.
08:57That just tells you how great they all were.
09:03I want to face up now.
09:07The first time you rode your horse.
09:09Oh, Seeker.
09:11You look like Valkyrie.
09:17You're just sitting so tall in that saddle.
09:21Your hair was flowing behind you.
09:26You didn't have one trace of fear in your eyes.
09:34Maybe you can't see past all the tears, but I definitely have fear in my eyes now.
09:40Be brave.
09:43Be brave.
09:46I'm done with all the things that I've done.
09:48The proudest moment is being your dad.
09:58I am so proud to be your daughter.
10:02Hey, you want to know what moment I'm thinking of?
10:05Tell me.
10:06I'm thinking about the day that I turned seven.
10:08Jordan was out, and I knew that she was going to be out for a while, so I put a candle in a little pudding cup, and I made it my birthday cake for a little party that I threw for myself.
10:22I'm thinking about how lonely I was then, and how I didn't have anyone to celebrate with, so I blew out the candle and made a wish for you.
10:38I wish for a daddy.
10:46Someone who was tall and handsome and kind and sweet and funny.
10:56Someone who would be there for me.
11:00And I was happier.
11:02Hurt her.
11:02I was scared like I am right now.
11:09Wish I could have been there for you.
11:12Don't hold your hand.
11:16Flynn, don't break my heart if I let go now.
11:20Because it took a lot of time.
11:22That wish that I made, it came true.
11:29And you were even so much better than the dad that that little girl wished for.
11:36So, even if you let go, I'm not going to.
11:40I'm going to hold on, and I'm going to hold on so tight, as tight as I can.
11:44And even though it's not my birthday, I'm going to make the same wish again.
11:55And that way you don't have any choice.
11:58You have to fight, and you have to get better.
12:02Because even though I'm all grown up, I still need my dad.
12:24Don't let yourself go to the place where your mind starts imagining the worst case scenarios.
12:29Chelsea, I'm having a little bit of a hard time putting a positive spin on this.
12:36Dumas is buying apartment and office buildings all over town.
12:40I mean, he just bought the athletic club.
12:42That's the heart and soul of Genoa City.
12:45I mean, it's practically an institution.
12:47Are you worried he would try to close the club?
12:49If Dumas Colin Atkinson, yes.
12:52Guy would do anything for a buck.
12:54Well, money doesn't seem to be Dumas' sole motivation.
12:57He overpaid for most of the properties he purchased.
13:01So the value that he's placing on them is far beyond what is presented on the balance sheet.
13:07We haven't figured out what his bottom line is yet.
13:11Listen, you don't know what's going on over there.
13:14Victor doesn't know what's transpired here.
13:16So once you see Victor, you'll put your puzzle pieces together
13:19and see the bigger picture of what Dumas really wants.
13:24Okay?
13:25You'll figure out what he's up to.
13:27Since, you know, Colin or Kane or whoever this guy is
13:32is going to realize he does not want to have a fight with the Newmans.
13:35That will be a losing battle.
13:37Well, let's just hope that it's not too late for us to pull out a win.
13:40You're listening.
14:10Is Mariah talked to anybody about what's been going on?
14:13No.
14:14She's completely isolated herself.
14:18Oh, Daniel, I just...
14:20I just want to be with her again.
14:22I told her that I'm not going to push her,
14:24and I'm going to give her all the time that she needs.
14:27I even told her that I don't care what she did,
14:31and I don't need to know,
14:33and that I would forgive her no matter what it was.
14:35She's lucky to have you love her the way that you do.
14:37But maybe she just needs to be reminded of that.
14:42I don't know.
14:43Do you think it would be okay if maybe I tried talking to her?
14:49I think I'm just going to wait a little longer
14:51and see if the space that I give her is the thing that she needs
14:55to help her figure things out.
14:59Maybe being away from Arya and me,
15:02it'll be too hard,
15:04and she'll come back to where she belongs.
15:07Well, I hope you're right about that.
15:11What are you going to do
15:12to get through the time apart?
15:16Wow.
15:17Uh, I guess I'll just have to trust her.
15:21Because there's nothing that's going to change
15:23the way I feel about Arya.
15:25Are you sure that's true?
15:28You don't think there's anything she could have done
15:30that you just wouldn't be able to forgive?
15:32It's okay, baby.
15:38It's not.
15:41But it will be.
15:43This is just one chapter in your story.
15:48It's a sad one, I know.
15:51But you're going to have a whole lot of personal history
16:00to share on these pages of your life.
16:05You and I,
16:07we got that second chance
16:09to know each other.
16:12Yeah.
16:13I think,
16:14I think we did our best
16:18to make up for the time that we lost.
16:21I mean, we squeezed every bit of love
16:24each and every day that we had.
16:28Right?
16:29I have more love.
16:30Right.
16:31I want more days.
16:32Please.
16:33I can't let you go.
16:35Please.
16:36Just give me a little bit more time.
16:43I would have a good heart.
16:47This is a good life, sweetheart.
16:50No.
16:52No, I'm not.
16:54I'm,
16:55I can't say it.
16:58I'm sorry, Dad.
16:59Claire.
17:00Claire.
17:01Claire.
17:06I'm sad.
17:10Would it be better if I had just come
17:12or you two were out?
17:14I just...
17:15No.
17:16I made all those words on her
17:18I shouldn't have.
17:21She's always going to remember
17:22that our father
17:23will let her know
17:25how much everyone loves her
17:28and how much you love her.
17:32Suppose you're going to want some words, too.
17:35No, I don't want any words.
17:37No, I just...
17:38I want to sit here with you
17:40if that's okay.
17:46God.
17:48We got our second chance.
17:56Most people
17:57don't even
17:59have
18:00love like ours
18:02even once.
18:03maybe in a book.
18:09I don't know.
18:11This doesn't really feel like
18:12happily ever after to me.
18:19We get the happy part.
18:23We both really know
18:25there's no such thing
18:29except for after.
18:33You know about that.
18:36I'm
18:37counting on seeing you
18:39in the next life.
18:41You know that, right?
18:44I'll be waiting.
18:48I know.
18:50I don't have to tell you
18:51to take care of my daughter.
18:53because I...
18:54because I...
18:56I know...
18:57I know you'll know.
19:02I know you'll know.
19:02I will ask you
19:08to stay here with me
19:09because I know
19:10that you can't stay.
19:11but I would like
19:15to ask you
19:16for one last thing,
19:17please.
19:21Where is it, Vic?
19:27Would you kiss me?
19:28Oh, my God.
19:32I'm sick.
19:34I'm sick, Vic.
19:37I want to...
19:39Where is it?
19:40I want to...
19:41I want to...
19:42I want to...
19:43I want to...
19:44I want to...
19:45I want to...
19:46I want to...
20:04I want to...
20:12I want to...
20:14I'm hoping once you get to DeMas' chateau,
20:31you can let me know what's going on.
20:34Are you really worried about me?
20:36I told you, Adam.
20:38This is starting to feel like an Agatha Christie novel.
20:41What are you thinking?
20:42That DeMas has murdered everyone and you're worried that I'm going to be next?
20:46This isn't a joke.
20:49Look, I'm probably going to walk in there like some hero coming to save the day,
20:53only to find everybody lounging in a hammock by the beach.
20:57I might even find Victor and Billy playing a friendly game of cocaine.
21:03I know how much I have to lose.
21:12Just come home soon to me and Connor.
21:17Thanks.
21:19Okay.
21:28Let me get that for you.
21:30Welcome.
21:31I'm sorry for seeming so forward, but aren't you Chelsea Lawson?
21:43I can't imagine a scenario that I would turn my back and walk away from her.
21:48And trust me, because she will not tell me what's going on.
21:52I have let my imagination run amok to try to fill in the blanks.
21:57The worst thing I can imagine is that she met someone else and fell in love.
22:02Do you think it's possible that's what's happened?
22:06No.
22:07I don't.
22:09Because I've seen the pain in her eyes and it is absolute.
22:13She has not found joy and peace and love with another person.
22:15All that Mariah is feeling right now is trapped by her own pain and misery.
22:26You know, maybe whatever she did is just so far beyond anything that you could ever imagine.
22:35Wait, what are you trying to say?
22:36What are you trying to say?
22:45What are you trying to say?
23:15You know, it was hard to leave him there.
23:28Yeah.
23:31The whole way home I just kept thinking I'd find him here.
23:37It was just a dream.
23:39But he's really gone.
23:54He talked about those moments that we shared.
24:01I don't have any more of those moments.
24:03He's never going to ask me to help him figure out something on his phone.
24:17I used to have to listen to him read out a 400-page novel and pretend like I was actually interested in it.
24:27He knew that I wasn't.
24:28He's never going to let me win at Uno again.
24:31I'll never be able to give him grief about leaving a pencil in the book as a bookmark.
24:35I'll never remind him to tie his shoes.
24:37I'll never have to endure his world's famous sloppy joe sandwiches with the corn chips on top.
24:43That's just so weird.
24:44You haven't given it good.
24:45You haven't given it good.
24:51You shouldn't have left like that.
24:59I didn't say goodbye.
25:00But you listened to what he wanted to say to you.
25:07It made him think that I was mad at him if he didn't feel bad.
25:12He didn't feel that way.
25:14He didn't feel that way.
25:17It's not right.
25:20We finally found each other after all these years.
25:25He's never going to hug me again.
25:27I brought your father's things home from the hospital.
25:39That was his favor.
25:50I can still smell the shampoo of his aftershave.
25:57Almost like he's hugging me.
26:02You're welcome.
26:12What?
26:18Thanks.
26:19Can you just tell me how to do this?
26:25Because loving people is still really new to me.
26:28And I don't know how to handle losing someone I love so much.
26:35I really wish I could help you, but I haven't figured that one out either.
26:38Maybe it's like your father said.
26:44Just because you lose someone doesn't mean that you lose all the memories that you made with them.
26:54You know, your father loved you.
26:58And he knew that you loved him.
27:01That will get him where he needs to be.
27:02Do you really believe that?
27:05Do you really believe in heaven and that dad's there?
27:12I do.
27:16I don't know about guiding his soul into the afterlife.
27:19I know that I'm going to carry him with me and my heart for the rest of my life.
27:30Yeah.
27:31I know, honey.
27:38I did think that Mariah might be worried about the legal ramifications of whatever she did.
27:46Or that it might hurt her reputation and Cassidy first and Ari and me.
27:52But I just don't think that she would do anything like that.
27:55She is not the same person who was raised by Ian Warren.
27:58She did a lot to get past that.
27:59What if it wasn't enough?
28:03Listen, thank God that creep is dead.
28:06But what if part of his legacy was leaving Mariah so damaged that she couldn't stop herself from doing something she regrets?
28:14I am Chelsea Lawson.
28:18Have we met?
28:20We haven't.
28:21But I am a huge fan of your work.
28:24Not just what you've done recently at Marchetti, but your whole career in fashion.
28:29I've always felt that you found that sweet spot between what's classic and what's cutting edge.
28:36That's very kind of you to say.
28:38Hold no back.
28:40Would it be okay if I brought you a drink?
28:45I just left my current position.
28:48I'm reassessing and I'm thinking that my interest in fashion might lead me down a new career path.
28:53I would love to get your advice.
28:56I'm sorry.
28:57I have to get going.
28:58But I thought you just got here.
29:00Oh, no.
29:01I was already here.
29:02I was just going to order some takeout for my son.
29:05The truth is my current career path has led me away from fashion.
29:10Right.
29:10Yeah.
29:11I'm not at Marchetti anymore.
29:12I'm at Newman Media.
29:13Yeah, but I have a feeling you already knew that.
29:20I know you work for Nate Hastings' brother, Damien.
29:24You were working for him in Los Angeles.
29:25And it's weird.
29:26I just saw you at Crimson Lights.
29:30How do you know Kane Ashby?
29:33Kane, uh, Kane Ashby.
29:36Right.
29:36I actually just met him.
29:39Really?
29:39Interesting.
29:40You sound like you don't believe me.
29:45It's the truth.
29:47Is it also the truth that you're between jobs?
29:48Because it seemed to me like Kane was giving you marching orders as if he were your boss.
29:55What exactly do you do for him?
30:02Damn, you are good.
30:05It's no wonder Adam Neumann lured you away from fashion and into media.
30:08I'm sure you saw Adam kiss me goodbye so you can tell we're seriously involved.
30:14So this isn't a come on.
30:16You're looking for information.
30:19Did Kane send you on some fact-finding mission?
30:22You think this exchange is some sort of attempt at corporate espionage?
30:27Is it?
30:29Kane is not my boss.
30:31Okay, then what were you two talking about?
30:33He was just asking if I lived in Genoa City and for how long.
30:38I got the feeling that he used to live for himself.
30:40I was just interested in what's changed since he left.
30:45Maybe that's true.
30:46But it doesn't explain why you approached me and why you were so friendly.
30:50Well, maybe.
30:52Just a sucker for an interesting and beautiful woman.
30:55Mariah's left me in the dark.
31:02And until I know what she's done, there's nothing I can do to help her.
31:07So, I'm just going to focus on the things I can't control.
31:13And the one thing I can do to show her I love her is take care of our little girl.
31:17So I'm going to do everything I can to shield her from Mariah and my pain.
31:22And I think that's a good way to think about it.
31:25I know after we lost Heather, I put Lucy first and we're both better for it.
31:35Oh, if only I could just stop feeling sorry for myself.
31:39No, no, no, no.
31:40Don't do that.
31:41Don't you tell yourself for a moment that what you're going through isn't hard.
31:45Well, it's good to have a friend to help me with it.
31:47Hey, at least I can be a distraction.
31:56I wish Kyle was here.
32:00Or I could at least get him on the phone.
32:02I really need to hear his voice.
32:05I'm missing my mom and dad and Nick.
32:09I'm sure if they could call, they would.
32:11Well, until we can talk to them, we just have to be here for each other.
32:20You know, I could come up with you, stay with you until you've all asleep if you want.
32:28Nick, I just need a little time.
32:32Unless you need me.
32:35No.
32:36No, I'm fine.
32:38I'll be fine.
32:39Okay.
32:53Here.
32:58I'm mad.
33:01I don't want you to stay up alone.
33:06Good night.
33:07I love you.
33:08You seem like trouble.
33:26Well, I can be.
33:28But I'm worth it.
33:31So you're just a harmless flirt.
33:33Well, I can't resist wanting to know about a woman that catches my eye.
33:36All about appearances?
33:39Oh.
33:39Oh, no.
33:41You know from your time in fashion that a look is about a lot more than what one can see
33:46with the eye.
33:48So you really are a fan?
33:50Well, I'd hoped by the designer that I am wearing here that it would be obvious.
33:56But I apologize if I upset you.
33:58Oh, you didn't upset me.
33:59Um, I appreciate the compliment.
34:04And I do believe you admire my work.
34:08But I think everything else you said was a lie.
34:13Have a good night.
34:14Like, I know.
34:31So you're all right.
34:31Switch.
34:32I'm so sorry.
34:32How much about this?
34:33I know that you're all right.
34:41Oh, Jesus.
35:11Oh, Jesus.
35:41Listen, if you need to take more time to be with Aria or to take care of yourself, we could put off guitar lessons for a bit. I mean, I feel like I'm pretty much, you know, on my way at this point.
36:01Oh, no. You still have a lot to learn.
36:04Are you forgetting that we wrote a song together?
36:06Oh, do not let that get to your head. You are still having major problems with your minor chords.
36:13Also, let's just keep up the lessons. I mean, making music helps me feel like I'm putting something positive out into the world.
36:19So I'm helping you by letting you continue to teach me how to play.
36:28Yeah, you are.
36:30Hmm. Yeah, I'm not sure if that's really true. Plus, I think I got a tin ear.
36:35No, I think you're a good listener.
36:37Look, anytime you want to talk, or anything else, let me know.
36:48I will.
36:48What have I done?
37:18Hey, Kyle. It's me.
37:37Mom, I'm sure if you were getting these messages, you would have called me back by now.
37:47I really wish that you could respond.
37:52I need to hear your voice.
37:54It's my dad.
38:00It's my dad.
38:07I lost him.
38:12He's gone.
38:13I lost him.
38:32You
