00:00Good morning.
00:08Hey.
00:09Morning.
00:10Seeing you here without your boyfriend, you're here by yourself.
00:15Yeah.
00:17You okay, Claire?
00:20How's your dad doing?
00:24He passed away.
00:30Connor.
00:34What are you doing here?
00:37That's a hell of a greeting.
00:38No, I didn't expect you back from France this soon.
00:41That was a whirlwind trip.
00:44Chelsea, you have no idea.
00:51Better?
00:53Much better.
00:54I missed you.
00:56I missed you too, honey.
00:57Oh, Connor's gonna be so excited you're home.
01:00Yeah?
01:01How's he doing?
01:01He's great.
01:03How are you?
01:04I can't wait to hear about your trip.
01:06Well, I'm gonna need a little bit of food for that.
01:10I have a lot to tell you.
01:30Claire, I'm-I'm-I'm sorry.
01:53Thanks.
01:55No, I-I shouldn't have lied with a question about your dad.
01:58That was stupid.
02:00I-please forgive me.
02:03Not a lot of people know, actually.
02:06No, I haven't been able to get in touch with anyone since they left for France.
02:10That's rough.
02:12Having to go through this all by yourself is-
02:15I have my mom.
02:17You sure?
02:18Yeah, sure.
02:19of course you do yeah but you know she's grieving too with kyle i
02:30what's that claire
02:34it sounds silly i can't say it no no it's not gonna sound silly to me
02:42even though we're thousands of miles away from each other with no form of communication i
02:46like to think that kyle just consents that i need him and he knows that he needs to come home
02:57what about influencers what about them we hire a few to test out our perfume and battle that online
03:05won't work why not uh because most of them are shilling for their own products
03:11they want a piece of the action or a hefty paycheck to come on board i can write him a check
03:19of course you can mr moneybags but i'm on a budget or at least the bronte's on a budget
03:26until we have an actual product to sell
03:28kyle
03:33what wearing it again aren't you
03:37it's my perfume of course i'm wearing it kyle i still can't figure out that top note
03:44i'm not gonna tell you anything but i'll let you have a closer inspection if you like
03:50mm-hmm i hope i'm not interrupting jane hello good afternoon um we were just working working yeah
04:03that's that's right we were just working you owe me no explanation
04:08but i have to say i am a bit surprised to see you working so closely together
04:13yeah i was under the impression that you were both romantically involved with other people
04:20was i wrong about that
04:31you look exhausted well it was a pretty brutal trip not even sure what time zone i'm in right now
04:38well it's morning in genoa city so don't order a cocktail well thank you for the uh heads up
04:48have you talked to victoria no i went straight to the office after the airport
04:53why were you able to check in on her what's the latest on coal
04:59adam
04:59what would you how is that even possible it's shocking i know oh my gosh are you
05:15it's terrible it's it's awful victoria tried to reach everybody to tell them and she couldn't get
05:19through no everything is shut down there well i mean how is she doing i mean you know your sister
05:27she's really strong but she's not doing great oh my gosh
05:33nikki must have sensed that too what makes you say that she she was definitely eager to talk to
05:41victoria and and claire and to be back here you know when i was leaving to go back home she wanted
05:48me to let victoria know that she was thinking about her she would be there if she could
05:52it nikki said all this to you i know i had a moment there too when i was just thinking about
05:59how much everything had changed how i was suddenly somebody the family could depend on
06:05how'd that feel why i felt good but i mean i feel terrible after learning this i didn't know
06:12cole well but he seemed like a genuine good guy by all accounts he truly was
06:17i just i feel awful the last time i spoke to victoria i had no sense that this was possible
06:24i told everybody in nice that they had transferred him back to genoa city that i took that as a good
06:30sign adam there's no way you could have known yeah but i gave him false hope that's such a damn shame
06:40and the fact that victoria she didn't have any of the family around when it happened
06:45you're her family you should go talk to her i'm sure she'd love to hear all this
06:51i'll go see her after this it's a good idea but in the meantime tell me about your trip
07:00were you able to get the information to victor and more importantly
07:03who is aristotle dumas we are committed i i mean i am committed to someone else
07:15as am i what you walked in on was us trying to figure out our publicity campaigns for the
07:21perfumes for our two companies yes the battle of the perfumes our relationship is entirely
07:29professional well then i do apologize although people in in genoa city do like to talk as i'm
07:35sure you've discovered yeah mostly the hard way nate hastings is the man that you're seeing am i right
07:43he is devon and lily's cousin i know him well he's a good man yeah he's the best and from what i
07:52understand you kyle are involved with victoria's daughter claire yes well i'm sorry you and even
08:00summer didn't work out we've worked through our issues and we're co-parenting our son harris
08:06i get that i've been there myself
08:11so kyle and i go way back to our working days at jibo but you audra i'm i'm not as familiar with
08:18well i am happy to change that what would you like to know well you know i don't want to put you
08:24on the spot on the contrary anyone who can persuade victor newman to persuade me to get
08:29herself invited here deserves my total respect well that was mostly victor's idea he's backing my new
08:38cosmetics company vibrante so i understand which is even more impressive you not only convinced him
08:44to get you on the guest list but you got him to finance a company for you as well brother you must
08:51be a woman of many talents well what can i say i can be very persuasive when i need to be
08:58what do you agree kyle
09:06you know
09:09i'm positive kyle would be here if he could i know just miss him especially now i don't know how that
09:21feels i lost my dad too a few years back
09:30cancer i'm sorry holden i had no idea uh i don't talk about it much
09:37and not even to damien you know you'd think with his mom having cancer that i'd be the one person that
09:43that he could go to to open up about it but every time he brings it up it's i just shut off or i i
09:52change the subject quickly
09:57it's uh still too painful you and your dad were close
10:02you're my best friend in the world the one person that i knew i could count on no matter what
10:12yeah my dad and i were close too even though i didn't really know him that long
10:17i told you my story uh you shared a little bit that you that your parents somewhat recently yeah i never
10:25had a father or a family until we found each other and even though i did some really terrible things
10:36my dad he was just there for me from the very beginning like we'd known each other my entire life
10:44so it's just
10:48it's hard for me to believe that i'm never gonna see him again
10:51i'm never gonna get to ask him for advice or listen to his terrible jokes
11:03i'm sorry no hey i don't need to apologize to me okay you go ahead and just feel whatever it is
11:11you're feeling it's good to do that just take it easier you know i'd be lying if i said it ever really
11:19it goes away it does become more tolerable with time and eventually you figure out a way to keep
11:30going on because you know you know that's what they would have wanted you to do
11:38thank you
11:40it does feel a little bit better to talk about it
11:44at any time and you know what the fact that you were out and about is a good sign it's so easy to
11:54just curl up and pull the covers over your head you know yeah i guess so i was going to go into work
12:02but i don't know you really want to do that no but i thought that if i just help me keep my mind off
12:10things i would have got a better idea how about you join me for breakfast i'll be your distraction
12:19okay what do you say
12:28uh i don't know if i'd call you persuasive what would you call me then i don't know
12:32um invasive yeah haha very funny oh presumptuous is a good word too mm-hmm you know kyle over here
12:42thinks he's a comedian but i think we can both agree he's not as funny as he thinks he is
12:46i said i hurt your feelings not a chance i have to say i find this fascinating it's fine what fascinating
12:54the two of you spar back and forth like an old married couple yeah you are way off base there it
12:59was just a joke i guess i'm not as funny as i think either huh kyle but i am curious about this
13:07professional connection of yours how does that work it's nothing more than a friendly rivalry
13:13it's not my friendly you know whatever what you walked in on was me trying to figure out the chemical
13:19composition of the scent she's wear did you not yet yeah not ever if i can help it
13:28but i wouldn't mind sharing it with you it's what i told you in my email pitch the reason i
13:35presume you agree to include me you know i am determined to find out what you really like in a
13:42woman well then i really appreciate the offer no no no we don't even have to talk about this at all we
13:51can yeah we can talk about work or anything else you like to do what what do you like to do
14:01i like to read reading is good reading is good what's your favorite book i like detective novels
14:08i don't know it's hard to pick one yeah oh what else you like to do what's your what's your favorite
14:12past time well i picked a horseback riding recently horseback riding sounds dangerous but fun it is
14:24it's magical i even have my own horse seeker a gift for my grandparents
14:32my dad actually taught me how to take care of him i knew about horses he knew about a lot of things
14:39he worked as a groom when he first came to genoa city so he was quite the renaissance man huh he was
14:47yes when he wanted to know about something you wanted to know everything about it so i was very
14:54lucky that he was my teacher when i decided to take up riding i remember one morning i was in the barn
15:03trying to clean seeker's hooves and my dad said that i should stay to the side of the horse so if he
15:09moved i wouldn't get hurt i i take it you didn't listen no no i thought that i was doing the right thing
15:19but then seeker moved suddenly and i just turned up flat on my back well did it hurt only my pride
15:30oh but uh yeah we just we laughed we laughed so hard i don't think i've ever laughed that hard in my life
15:42and then from that point on i listened to everything my dad told me to do everything
15:49thank you for the breakfast invite maybe we can go some other time i totally understand
16:05do you mind if i put my contact in your phone just in case you change your mind you can shoot me a text
16:10or give me a call and i've i've been where you are so maybe i can help
16:22okay
16:26and for what it's worth
16:30i think the more people you're around the better
16:33not that work isn't a great distraction but trust me i've been there but it can't be everything
16:42now this is all very new and raw for you right now and it's going to take some time to adjust so
16:51give yourself that time
16:56anyway claire
16:57have a good rest of your day
17:04oh holden wait sorry um
17:10actually breakfast sounds nice
17:15so kane turned out to be aristotle dumont after all you called it
17:21i would have bet more money on his father but i suppose both our guesses were right
17:27well apparently colin helped kane with the whole dumont person including the empire and they built
17:34with him which just proves how shady this whole thing actually is not necessarily i mean according
17:42to what dad and nick said that colin did want to make amends before he died so everything he did to
17:47help kane was legit yeah but kane is the person saying all this right no i know we can't be sure
17:54what he's saying is the truth i mean do we even actually know colin's dead
18:00that i do not know but it should be easy enough to find that out
18:05but in the meantime we need to figure out what kane is really up to in genoa city
18:09well was victor able to find out any more information well not a lot so far
18:13have we figured out why kane chose this moment to reveal his true identity
18:20he told them that he was getting sick of living a double life he wanted to come back to town and
18:23he wanted to start fresh well that'd be plausible if he hadn't bought up miles of real estate here
18:30and poached subdivisions of chancellor so why are you thinking this is all big con i'm thinking i would
18:37not trust kane ashby as far as i can throw him well i'm right there with you wow so what are we gonna
18:47do we're gonna keep digging we're gonna figure out everything there is to know about his operations
18:54here because this doesn't just affect the family i mean this is a huge story chelsea and as of right now
19:02you know it's all ours i can't believe you walked up the mountain i'm telling you it was the only way
19:15to get to the chateau rows were flooded train tracks were down oh kane has his own private train by the
19:23way oh how nice for him yeah a man likes to live large and obviously likes to put on a show
19:32was victor impressed it's hard to tell my sense was he was too busy trying to figure out what kane was
19:39up to do take in the scenery did victor say anything about us refusing to put out the hit piece on billy
19:47not one word and there's no way he would have known that we held back the story because nobody had any
19:53service everybody was completely cut off from the outside world and yet kane was able to make it out
19:59yeah i have been thinking about that how convenient all of jeno city's power players are trapped
20:07at his mountain paradise and he's able to sneak back here and do god knows what buy up the whole town
20:15yeah but why that's what we have to figure out sooner rather than later i just can't believe he was able
20:24to keep this secret for so long especially from lily that she must be devastated well i didn't get a
20:32chance to see her but you're probably right so who did know that you were there just the family and
20:40and phyllis phyllis as she saw me it couldn't be helped but i'm hoping that nick is going to convince
20:51her to keep her mouth shut because we still want kane to believe that the family's in the dark about
20:55all of his plans she'll keep quiet if she thinks it can benefit her somehow well i would like to run
21:02the story right now today on all of new media platforms i mean this is a scoop of the year mystery
21:08mogul revealed that is one way it could go well don't worry i'm not gonna do it okay whatever kane
21:18has up his sleeve it's intended to hurt the family so he needs to be stopped not publicized
21:24i'm impressed yeah by what your new priorities family first it's got a nice ring to it well it took long
21:39enough didn't it anyway the good news is billy and sally are stuck in these two so they can't get a jump
21:49pause okay so what should our next move be kane has to have a point person here in general city we need
22:00to find out who that is and how they're getting their information to him
22:11where does that smile
22:15i think i already know who that person is
22:19i'm at a bit of a loss audrey you came all the way here to determine my taste in women
22:27cosmetically speaking of course back off no you back off i have nothing to hide except your
22:34desperation you see that's the difference between kyle and me he plays it safe i take big swings and big
22:42misses you do remember the pitch i sent you don't you right it was something about choosing between
22:49fragrances from jibo and your new company close it was aristotle dumont man of mystery publicly
22:58proclaiming the winner that's an intriguing idea except now very soon you will no longer be a man of
23:04mystery you'll just be jane ashby that doesn't have quite the same splash yeah no i suppose you're right
23:13which is why we've been trying to figure out alternative ways to build a competition on social
23:18media between the two companies no yeah i i get all that but what i'm a bit curious about is why would
23:25you both feel the need to compete with bronte in the first place i mean you can't possibly be feeling
23:30any heat from a brand new company that hasn't even launched why would you give her a bone
23:34or a platform sorry no offense yeah none taken but you see what i'm getting at kyle it just
23:42just doesn't make any sense which is why i can't shake the feeling that
23:47there is something more going on between the two of you
23:50that guy holden novak he used to work with nate's brother damien in la
24:07all right the company that's secretly owned by dumont
24:11wait how do you know this i checked him out
24:13you what isn't that part of my job to figure out who the new players are when they come into town
24:21i'm not questioning you you gave me a light well it's because i can't keep my eyes off
24:27oh well played you better mean that with all my heart so what did you learn about this
24:36holden novak oh i know that he has some history with audra charles back in la
24:41i overheard audra and sally talking about him okay well that doesn't directly connect to us though
24:47right not directly but after you left for knees he kind of put the moves on me
24:56you what no i can't mean he was just digging for information but he did it in a very flirty way oh
25:03i mean should i be jealous about that i mean it's not hard to look at
25:06i'm sorry i'm still trying to figure out how this is connected to kane
25:17well when he approached me he said that he was out of a job and he was looking to start a new career
25:21pass well kane must have fired him when he let damien go so then why would he be helping the guy
25:29i don't know but before i saw kane the two of them were huddled together in what looked like a
25:34very serious conversation well they could have just been talking about a severance package i don't
25:41think so this guy's an operator he's a shark in the water and i can spot one of those a mile away
25:48if kane has a spy in genoa city my money's on hold
25:54clare hi hey good morning holden chelsea fancy seeing you here well genoa city can be a small
26:15town sometimes so i'm discovering
26:29clare i um i just heard about your dad i'm i'm so sorry thanks i was away on business when it happened
26:35or i would have stopped by sooner i'm gonna stop by and see your mom later she'll really appreciate that
26:40i don't think we've officially met oh i'm so sorry adam i didn't realize oh no it's all right
26:47adam newman holden novak and i do know who you are i'm a big fan of newman media wow that's always
26:53nice to hear holden is a fan of a lot of genoa city businesses oh is that right there's a lot of action
27:00here for such a small town but you used to work with damien kane didn't you that's right yeah yeah for
27:09the uh for dumas the mystery billionaire that must have been an interesting experience well i actually
27:17never met the man oh really worked for him for years and then he fired me out of the blue love lost
27:24there huh none whatsoever but i hear your buddy damien king got scooped up at winners it's a pretty
27:32soft landing damien and i aren't exactly buddies these days that's too bad yeah well you move on
27:41right i just i was thinking since he got scooped up at winners you know there might have been a place
27:45there for you well there wasn't well you know devon is my brother-in-law i could put in a word for you
27:52you do that for somebody you don't even know well that's how we roll in this um small town you know
28:01i could open the door for you it would be up to you to walk through it thanks but i'm i'm actually
28:07i'm considering other options okay fair enough so i guess you don't know anything about damien in the
28:13winters flying off to nice to meet dumas you sure do ask a lot of questions i don't well i'm a
28:22naturally curious guy and you run a media company does that bother you no no not at all i don't have
28:29an opinion about it one way or another as i said i never met dumas so i don't have any idea what the
28:36trip is about nor do i care since as you pointed out i no longer work for the man
28:47there is nothing going on i can promise you that yeah we're just looking for some good old-fashioned
28:52publicity no such thing as bad press right oh i very seriously doubt jack is looking for any bad
28:58press for jabot and when i worked there we weren't cozying up to the competition either that seems like
29:03a real strange way to do business kyle it is which is why i think this could work a fresh spin on an
29:12old idea jabot doesn't really have anything to lose here kane i mean why not help a puny struggling
29:19company who will look like heroes yeah not if we kick your ass that's never gonna happen jabot is a
29:26dinosaur and we're the next big thing and the next big thing is what people want these days in your
29:33dreams yeah in my dreams with victor neiman's money it won't last audra he'll get tired of backing a
29:38dead horse yeah not if it means bearing an old one okay okay okay i'm sold sold on what if this is a
29:48taste of what your publicity campaign is going to be i find this very entertaining
29:54yeah yeah i think there's a way that this could still work yeah i didn't mean to strike a nerve you
30:01haven't well it kind of seems like i did and and if that's the case i apologize no need damon and i
30:10have gone our separate ways no hard feelings all the way around chelsea my mom told me what a great
30:17help you were for her last night oh i'm just glad i could be there for her she's struggling and we
30:23were both struggling how to deal with losing my dad without my grandparents here for support listen
30:30anytime either one of you needs to talk or hang out or just sit in silence you call me okay we will thanks
30:39um okay well i guess we should grab one of these tables good idea well hey before you go you know
30:48why don't you drop by newman media this week maybe we could discuss some possibilities for you there
30:54are you offering me a job
31:02you're serious about reviving the battle of the perfumes yeah why not sounds like fun
31:07how would that work because once your real identity has been revealed it's game over
31:14not if i postpone a little longer you do that yeah sure consider it aristotle dumas last raw
31:21in compensation for inadvertently stranding you all here i don't know what to say okay uh thank you
31:29yeah my pleasure don't forget i do have experience in the cosmetics industry so maybe i can be some help
31:35along the way but i make no promises about which fragrance i'll prefer so each of you leave me a
31:42sample and uh and we'll take it from there enjoy the rest of your afternoon
31:48did that just happen it just happened
31:59looks like we're going to war
32:03i'm not offering you a job yet it's uh just a discussion okay well give it some thought and let
32:11me know if you want to come in will do thanks thanks
32:23well played sir
32:30that could be kind of exciting right
32:32what's that i have a job working with my uncle at newman media yeah yeah it's definitely
32:43definitely worth looking into let's let's take a look at this menu i'm kind of getting hungry
32:55what's wrong i'm sorry you're gonna hate me but i can't do this i have to go
32:59clear the moment we started talking about my mom it just got me thinking about my dad and then i
33:04don't hey i understand and do whatever you need to do and please stop apologizing especially to me
33:14i know what it's like to be somebody close to you
33:19it's a club you never want to be a part of
33:22how'd you get out of it
33:23small steps i made a list of things i needed to do and focused on taking care of that and it can be
33:32the smallest thing too like putting gas in the car or going to the bank just one step in front of the
33:41other did it help it got me out of my head for a while
33:47i don't but the grief does have a way of creeping back up on you we at least expect it so
33:56when that would happen i would try to picture it like a wave
33:59if i swam against it i'd be stuck i wouldn't get anywhere but if i jumped on the wave and experienced
34:05the ride it did get a little better i'm sorry this isn't much of a distraction for you is it
34:16no but you've been really great hold it kind and helpful and it is nice to talk about it with someone
34:25who isn't my mom who isn't my mom i just i really miss kyle i miss him a lot
34:36i guess kane figured all this out for us huh who would have thought
34:40i am so wired right now have a drink it'll calm your nerves excellent idea we could both have a drink
34:49to celebrate why not
35:09so and now what do you think about my theory that holden is kane's operating general city
35:15he lied about never having met dumas that's one strike and what the hell is he doing with claire
35:24especially now well that's two strikes i mean holden is a player all right and the last thing that
35:31claire needs is just trying to take advantage of her what kyle's yeah i'm concerned too
35:38we just have to remember who claire is and where she comes from
