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.
01:15To say our goodies.
01:17To say our goodies.
01:18To say our goodies.
01:19To say our goodies.

01:25To say our goodies.
01:26To say our goodies.
01:26To say our goodies.
01:27To say our goodies.
01:28To say our goodies.
01:28To say our goodies.
01:29To say our goodies.
01:30To say our goodies.
02:01Hey, 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.
02:24Oh, 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.
02:41And 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.
03:34It may turn out to be Cain Ashby's father.
03:38Or Cain himself.
03:41That 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.
04:30I don't know, sometimes leaving the people you love, it 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.
04:53Do you think that she cheated 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.
05:23I 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?
05:40Speaking 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.
05:54And I'm pretty sure the breakdown in communication is probably the only reason he hasn't fired me yet.
06:00To be honest with you, maybe he doesn't know that you didn't go after Billy.
06:04Look, 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.
06:15My father definitely needs to know about his real estate buying spree.
06:19And I don't think that this thing with Kane 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.
06:32Hey, it's not time to say goodbye.
06:39We 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 no denial.
07:01No, I'm not letting you go.
07:03Not so soon after I found you.
07:07You 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.
07:28I'll go, Claire.
07:28Claire, I'm afraid I'm not going to be here when you get back.
07:36I've made peace with all this.
07:39It's a losing battle, Claire.
07:40And I just can't let you and your mom watch me suffer anymore.
07:49I'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.
07:59It's really not fair.
08:00What 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, I know.
08:13Your first words.
08:15Your first steps.
08:19What about my next words?
08:21And my next steps?
08:22Your mom, she's got you covered.
08:26Who's going to pick me up if I fall?
08:29You both are going to catch each other.
08:33I know that.
08:38I don't even want to waste one moment now regretting the ones that I've missed.
08:45I just, I just want to use this time to tell you how grateful I am.
08:53I want more moments.
08:58That just tells you how great they all were.
09:02I want to face it out 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.
09:22Your hair was flowing behind you.
09:25You 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 thought of.
09:48Proudest moment to be your dad.
09:54I am so proud to be your daughter.
10:02Hey, you want to know what moment I'm thinking of?
10:05Tell me.
10:06Thinking about the day that I turned seven.
10:10Jordan was out, and I knew that she was going to be out for a while.
10:13So I put a candle in a little pudding cup, and I made it my birthday cake for a little party
10:20that I threw for myself.
10:24I'm thinking about how lonely I was then, and how I didn't have anyone to celebrate with.
10:33So I blew out the candle, and I made a wish for you.
10:42I wished for your daddy.
10:46Someone who was tall and handsome and kind and sweet and funny.
10:56Someone who would be there for me.
10:58I thought I was happier, or hurt her, or 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...
11:47I'm going to make the same wish again.
11:52And that way you don't have any choice.
11:58You have to fight, and you have to get better.
12:04Because even though I'm all grown up,
12:07I still need my dad.
12:10Don'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?
12:51Yes.
12:52Guy would do anything for a buck.
12:54Well, money doesn't seem to be Dumas' sole motivation.
12:58He 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.
13:06We 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.
14:05Has 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.
14:26I even told her that I don't care what she did
14:30and I don't need to know
14:32and that I would forgive her no matter what it was.
14:35She's lucky to have you love her the way that you do.
14:39Maybe 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?
14:46I think I'm just going to wait a little longer
14:51and see if the space that I give her
14:54is the thing that she needs to 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.
15:09What 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
15:20because 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?
15:37It'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.
15:53But you're going to have
15:55a whole lot of personal history
16:00to share on these pages of your life.
16:05You and I,
16:06we got that second chance
16:10to know each other.
16:12Yeah.
16:14I think,
16:14I think we did
16:16our best
16:18to make up for the time that we lost.
16:21I mean, we squeezed
16:22every bit of love
16:24each and every day
16:26that we had.
16:28Right?
16:28I have more love.
16:30I want more days.
16:32Please.
16:33I can't let you go.
16:35Please.
16:37I just...
16:38Just give me
16:39a little bit more time.
16:43I would have a good heart.
16:44This 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.
17:00Is that...
17:10It would have been better
17:11if I had just come
17:12or you two were out.
17:14I just...
17:14No.
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
17:26everyone loves her
17:28and how much
17:30you love her.
17:32I suppose
17:33you're going to want
17:33some words, too.
17:36No, I don't want
17:37any words.
17:38No, I just...
17:38I want to sit here with you
17:40if that's okay.
17:46Oh, God.
17:48We got our second chance.
17:50It's fake.
17:55Most people
17:57don't even
17:59have
18:00love like ours
18:02either once.
18:06Maybe in a book.
18:09I don't know.
18:11This doesn't really feel
18:12like happily ever after
18:13to me.
18:14We get the happy part.
18:23We both really know.
18:27There's no such thing
18:29except for after.
18:31You 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 don't.
18:50I don't have to tell you
18:51to take care of my daughter.
18:53because I...
18:54I'm not...
18:57I'm not...
18:58I'm not alone.
19:01I'm not alone.
19:02I'm not alone.
19:07I won't ask you to stay here with me
19:09because I know that you can't stay.
19:11But I would like to ask you
19:16for one last thing, please.
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'm more than enough.
19:40I'm more than enough.
19:40I'm more than enough.
19:42I'm more than enough.
19:58I'm more than enough.
20:15Oh, my God.
20:17I'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, this 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.
21:05Just come home soon to me and Connor.
21:17Thanks.
21:19Let me get that for you.
21:30You're welcome.
21:34I'm sorry for seeming so forward, but aren't you Chelsea Lawson?
21:40I 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.
21:55The 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, I 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?
22:45What 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.
24:03Yes.
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.
34:14Oh, you're right.
34:40Oh, my God.
34:50Oh, my God.
35:10I don't know.
35:40I don't know.
36:10I don't know.
36:12I don't know.
36:14I don't know.
36:16I don't know.
36:18I don't know.
36:20I don't know.
36:22So I'm helping you by letting you continue to teach me how to play.
36:28Yeah, you are.
36:30Hmm.
36:31Yeah, I'm not sure if that's really true.
36:33Plus, I think I got a tin ear.
36:35No, I think you're a good listener.
36:39Look, anytime you want to talk, or anything else, let me know.
36:47I will.
36:49Oh, God.
37:01What have I done?
37:05Oh, God.
37:17What have I done?
37:19Hey, Kyle.
37:35It's me.
37:37Debbie.
37:38I'm sure if you were getting these messages, you would have called me back by now.
37:44I really wish that you could respond.
37:49I need to hear your voice.
37:59It's my dad.
38:03I lost him.
38:07I lost him.
38:12He's gone.
