Murphy: Boy, you were pretty quiet when you got in last night. Kay: (Groans) I don't know. I-- (Laughs) I'm afraid Jo-Jo was more than I bargained for. I sought her out because I wanted to get to know her. And, by God, I'm going to do it, too. Esther: Oh! (Inhales sharply) That woman! Kay: What--what-- what happened? Esther: She asked me if I'd do her laundry. Murphy: (Scoffs) She, what? Kay: Well, you--you-- Esther: Well, you haven't even heard the half of it. When I went in her bag to get the laundry out, you can't believe what I found-- a knife and a gun! Kay: Oh. Jo-Jo: Well, you never know when you're gonna have to take a man down. Kay: You know, Jo-Jo is in bail bonds, and she's a bounty hunter. Jo-Jo: Yeah, I'm a bounty hunter. Eh, forget about the laundry. How about some grub? Esther: If you're talking about breakfast... Jo-Jo: Yeah. Esther: It can be arranged. Jo-Jo: Oh! I never had a maid before! Boy, I could get used to this! (Laughs) Come on. Murphy: Well, I hope Esther survives this visit. Kay: Oh, I hope we all do. Murphy: (Laughs) Kay: All right, where is everybody, because I really have to prepare them for that thing-- um, uh, uh... introduce them to Jo-Jo. Murphy: Well, the kids and Nina were gone when I rolled out of bed, but I-I did see Jill. Kay: How was she? Murphy: (Laughs) She went out of that door like a bat out of hell. Kay: Oh, God. [SCENE_BREAK] Jill: Oh, thank you. Mm. Hey, I didn't see you there. Cane: Come here. Jill: Oh, Cane. Cane: How are you? Jill: You know what? You have enough to deal with these days. Mnh-mnh. Cane: Come on. You're gonna tell me all about it, and if you don't, you're just gonna be one more person I have to worry about. Jill: (Sighs) Cane: So, uh... (Clears throat) Is it Katherine? (Sighs) Jill: No. Actually, it's Katherine's daughter. (Sighs) Cane: (Laughs) Wait, wait, wait. No, I-I thought that, uh-- Jill: You know, I hired Paul to find her daughter. Cane: Oh. That probably was difficult for you. Jill: Yeah, you don't know the half of it, okay? Katherine and I flew out to South Dakota, brought her back on the plane with us last night. Cane: So what's she like? Jill: She's our worst nightmare. Cane: (Laughs) Jill: Mm-hmm. Cane: You just met her. Jill: Yeah. After five minutes, I knew everything I needed to know about her. Oh, Cane, how I wish I had not gone down this road. (Sighs) [SCENE_BREAK] Tucker: I believe every one of those proposals will help Chancellor expand its operations. J.T.: Well, we can go over each one in detail when you have more time. Neil: Well, J.T., I wasn't aware that you were so involved in the executive end of Mr. McCall's business. Tucker: Tucker, please, remember? J.T.: Well, that's an area I've always wanted to get into, but I just simply didn't have the opportunity at Newman. Tucker: Newman's loss is my gain, and then some. Neil: Couldn't agree with you more. Tucker: So about those proposals, I suggest we move now. No sense in waiting. Neil: Tucker, um, your expertise is very much appreciated. Tucker: Good. So it's a go? Neil: All of your suggestions will be taken into consideration by Katherine and myself. [SCENE_BREAK] Nina: I don't understand why you can't leave. You gave your statement hours and hours ago. Chance: Mom, apparently, they weren't satisfied with my answers. Nina: (Sighs) Chloe: Even though it's so obvious that you were set up. Chance: The problem is, the guys here, they don't know me. What they do know is that I met up with an escaped convict who's got a record for trafficking drugs. I didn't call for any backup, and on top of that, they found drugs on me. Chloe: Yeah, because they knocked you out, and they set you up. Chance: Chloe, please try and convince them of that. Sid: They're ready for you. Nina: Who, the D.A.? Chloe: (Clears throat) Chance: (Groans) Sid: Internal affairs. It's their job to step in when there's a cop involved. Chloe: Look, believe me, he is as clean as they come. Sid: (Sighs) Let's go, Detective. Nina: (Whispers) Be good. Chance: It's all right, Mom. Nina: All right. [SCENE_BREAK] Billy: I'm glad you're out of the hospital. Lily: Yes. Your funny texts got me through it... Billy: Ha ha. Lily: Although I would have much rather have seen you in person. Billy: Yeah, I'm sorry. It's, uh, it's been a little nuts over at "Restless Style." Lily: It was really hard for me to be here and not think about Colleen. Billy: You know, I, uh, I sometimes pick up the phone to call her. Lily: (Laughs) Yep. (Sighs) So do I, although I think that if she could talk to us, she would probably tell us to stop grieving and just get on with our lives. Billy: Well, that is what we're doing. I've got the magazine. You have the baby. Lily: How are you doing with that, by the way? Billy: I'm glad I'm able to come here and tell you how happy I am for you. Lily: Right. You just wish that it wasn't Mac who was making it all possible, right? Billy: I've come to peace with it. I just told her yesterday what a wonderful thing it-- I think it is that she's doing, so... Lily: Wow. Billy: Yeah. Lily: Well, that's a switch. Billy: I know. Well, it's a new year-- turning a new leaf. Lily: Mm. Billy: I'm not here to talk about me. Let's talk about you. Tell me something good. Lily: Something good... let's see. Uh, well, I did get an unexpected surprise when I was at the hospital. Billy: Yeah? (Doorbell rings) Lily: Oh, hold on. Sorry. Hey! Malcolm: Hey. Uh, bad time? Lily: No, never. Come on in. (Giggles) So, um, you remember Billy Abbott, right? Billy: (Laughs) Malcolm: Hey. Well, look who went and grew up. Good to see you. Billy: Man, Malcolm, I didn't expect to see you. It's good to see you. Malcolm: Yeah, I'm getting a lot of that these days. Billy: Huh. Lily: (Laughs) [SCENE_BREAK] Sharon: Oh, you know what? Wait. I don't want Noah to walk in on us. Adam: Oh, he, uh, I heard him leave earlier this morning. Sharon: Really? Adam: Yeah. Sharon: Oh. He couldn't get out of here fast enough. Adam: Hey, now. He didn't run out of here screaming when we told him that we were married. That's a start, right? Sharon: Yeah, I guess that's true. You know, we didn't expect people to jump for joy when they heard the news, which they haven't. (Laughs) Adam: (Sighs) Yeah, I don't really like it that everyone's coming down so hard on you about that. Sharon: Oh, it's okay. I can take it. Adam: You know, you really are one of the strongest people I've ever known. Mm. I like this, but I-- and I... don't want to leave you, but... I have--I have to get into the office. Sharon: Mm. Oh, the office... where you work with someone who was ready to put you through a wall when he heard the news that we tied the knot. Adam: Yeah. Well, if you mean Nick, I can handle what he has in store for me. Don't worry. Come here. [SCENE_BREAK] Nick: So you're gonna want to read that before you go to Dubai. Victoria: Right. Anything else I need to know? Nick: About your trip? No. But you should know that our brother got married. Victoria: Adam? To Sharon? Nick: Yeah, that's what they were doing in Nevada. Victoria: Oh, Nick. Oh. You must want to kill him. Nick: I was tempted. But now I know how to handle Adam. [SCENE_BREAK] Tucker: Before we go... J.T.: Thanks. Tucker: Did, uh, Katherine ever make a decision on that company you suggested she purchase? Neil: No, she didn't. Tucker: Chancellor sure could use a high-tech operation like that under its umbrella. Neil: I couldn't agree with you more. But Katherine is hesitant to make a large acquisition so soon after the I.P.O. Tucker: Still, my gut is rarely wrong, and it's telling me not to let this one get away. Neil: I hear you on that, and I have every intention of pursuing it, but I have a lot of other matters on my plate that I have to deal with first. Tucker: I could call her myself--or Jill-- make a personal pitch. Neil: Well, uh, yeah, I guess you could do that, um, if they were in the office today. They're both off. Tucker: Everything okay? Neil: As far as I know. But I wouldn't want to bother them unnecessarily. [SCENE_BREAK] Cane: (Laughs) Jill: First of all, she's an ex-con, okay? Cane: Oh. Jill: And secondly, you should have seen her eyes bug out when she found out how much Katherine was worth. Cane: So you think she's after Katherine's money? Jill: Oh, I wouldn't put it past her, which is why I want her on a plane back to where she came from. Cane: (Sighs) So, um, does Katherine feel the same way? Jill: I don't see how she couldn't. Cane: Well, you know, maybe she's not afraid of being replaced. Jill: I am not jealous. Cane: Well, maybe not of Jo-Jo, but maybe what she represents. You know, Katherine has shown you time and time again what you've shown me. Jill: Which is? Cane: Blood or not, you'll always be family. Jill: (Sighs) God, I wish Jo-Jo were more like you. The worst part of it is that I am the stupid idiot that put all of this into motion. Cane: Listen, what you did, it was unbelievably-- Jill: Stupid. (Sighs) Cane: No, thoughtful, kind. But since you are the, uh, idiot that put all this in motion... Jill: (Giggles) Cane: I think that you need to see this through so that Katherine can have some closure. Jill: That's why I did it in the first place. I didn't want her always wondering, what happened to that baby? Cane: Hey, what you did was give her a beautiful gift. I guarantee you. It sounds like it's gonna be one she's never gonna forget. [SCENE_BREAK] Jo-Jo: (Sighs) Now that I've seen the inside, I think I'm gonna, you know, check out the grounds. Kay: Uh, uh, before you go, uh, would you mind telling me just a smidge more about yourself? Jo-Jo: (Scoffs) Not much to tell. Kay: W-w-well, Jo-Jo, I know that you grew up in an orphanage, and you had a rather difficult time, I'll bet. Jo-Jo: Yeah, old news. No point in dwelling on it. Kay: What I'm trying to understand is what turned you into th-- turned you into the woman that you are now? Jo-Jo: What, are you disappointed that I didn't turn out to be a fancy businesswoman like you and your sidekick Jill? Murphy: All right, now. Hold on. Kay: No, no, no, Dear. No, no. No. No, Dear. That's not it at all. No. Esther: (Clears throat) Is this big enough? Jo-Jo: Perfecto! (Chuckles) Can't get but just one sip from those dainty little things you use. Here, hold that for me, Mom. Esther: (Sighs) I'm gonna go check on Delia and clean up the kitchen, which someone ransacked, because she couldn't figure out what she was hungry for. Jo-Jo: What's the matter? Never heard of Irish coffee? Kay: Oh, I've had my fair share, believe me, r-regretfully, however. Murphy: (Chuckles) Kay: But those years... ended a long, long time ago. Jo-Jo: Oh. So you're on the wagon now. (Chuckles) (Clicks tongue) Well, if you're looking for something we have in common, forget it, 'cause I got this all under control. Kay: (Chuckles) Jo-Jo: Mmm! Kay: I-- Jo-Jo: So now how about that tour? Kay: Yes. Uh, uh, ah, let me get my coat. Jo-Jo: Mm-hmm. Kay: Be right with you. Murphy: Hey, look... Jo-Jo: (Sighs) Murphy: My wife went out of her way to make you feel comfortable here, but that doesn't give you a free pass. So I've got my eye on you. [SCENE_BREAK] Chloe: (Sighs) How much longer are they gonna keep him? Nina: You know, you could leave. Chloe: (Sighs) You know, you once told me that I was a lot like you when you were younger, and you didn't mean it in a nice way. Nina: What's your point? Chloe: You would never leave Chance when he needed you most, just like I'm not leaving, and I'm not walking out of here until he's walking out with me. Nina: (Sighs) Yeah, well, that could take a while. Chloe: (Sighs) [SCENE_BREAK] Neil: Well, look who it is. Hey, Stranger. Sharon: Hey. Neil: Hey. Sharon: Happy New Year. Neil: Happy New Year to you, too. Look at you. Sharon: (Sighs) Neil: Good to see you're still in one piece. Sharon: Yeah. You heard the jet went down? Neil: Yeah, that's terrible news. Yeah, I--it's amazing what a near-death experience can do to give you perspective, right? Sharon: How's Lily? Neil: Lily's better now that she's out of the hospital. Sharon: Oh. Why was she in the hospital? Neil: She got an infection, slight fever. Normally, nothing to worry about, but in her condition... Sharon: Right, of course. Neil: Hey, you know, you really should stop by and, uh, and see her. And, by the way, thank you so much for the Christmas gifts-- the scarves, the sweaters. Lily loved them. Sharon: Oh, good! You know, I just tried to--to pick out something that I know Dru would like. Neil: Yeah, well, any gift that you pick out means a lot more to her, because you were so close to Dru. Sharon: Well, um, I'll call her and I'll see when she feels up to having visitors, 'cause I don't want to just pop in. Neil: Well, you wouldn't be the first one just to "Pop in." Sharon: Oh? Neil: Malcolm. Malcolm is, uh, he's back. Sharon: Really? Neil: Yeah, a little surprise return just in the nick of time to ring in the new year. Sharon: And I bet you were less than thrilled. Neil: So Dru told you about him? Sharon: About Malcolm being Lily's father? Yes. Neil: Yeah, of course. Of course she told you. Sharon: Well, you know, she just-- she needed someone to talk to. You know, she was going through a rough time and... Neil: Yeah, Sharon. It was a rough time for all of us. Sharon: And now? Neil: Now my main focus and goal is--is Lily. You know, blood or not, I'm her father, and she needs me now more than ever. Sharon: And Malcolm? Neil: Malcolm can't expect us to pop back into town and pretend like nothing's happened the last few years. Sharon: Ah. Well, does he know that? Neil: Well, I think I made it clear to him that his presence is bringing up a lot of tension that none of us need right now, least of all-- least of all, Lily. Sharon: So when is he leaving? Neil: He didn't say. But if my brother wants to salvage what's left of our relationship, it'd better be sooner rather than later. [SCENE_BREAK] Billy: You know, I caught that series you did, that photo essay-- uh, "Milan madness: Behind the scenes during runway season." Malcolm: (Chuckles) Yeah. (Sighs) "Madness" is putting it mildly. Billy: I also got the other series-- uh, "The children of Mogadishu." Those images stick with you. Malcolm: I'm surprised you've seen so much of my work. Billy: Well, these days, it's my job to keep up on all the cutting-edge talent. Lily: See, Billy actually owns "Restless Style" now. Billy: You know, I could really use somebody on my team with your eye in talent, so if--if you're interested, and you want to come by... Malcolm: Absolutely. Billy: All right. Lily: (Laughs) Malcolm: (Chuckles) [SCENE_BREAK] Nick: All right, no problem. I'll get back to you. Bye. Victoria: Why do I feel like I'm leaving you when you could use my sisterly support the most? Nick: I can handle Adam. I'm more concerned about you going on this trip. Are you sure you're okay with that? Victoria: I don't know. (Sighs) I'm gonna hate being separated from Reed, but it won't be that long. J.T. and I really need the break. Nick: Well, I told you, you know, some time apart was really good for me and Phyllis. Victoria: Yeah. Yeah, you're right. I just hope it does the same for us. I want him to be excited, you know? I want--I want him to be excited about seeing me, and--and I want to feel the same way about him. (Sighs) Adam: I don't suppose you're talking about me? I didn't think so. Victoria: I should go. Adam: Oh, that's right. You are leaving for Dubai today, and I am here just in time to wish you a bon voyage. [SCENE_BREAK] Jill: Oh. Please, please tell me that our guest has beat a hasty retreat back to where she came from? Murphy: If you're talking about the daughter that you helped find, she's still here. Jill: Great. Murphy: Hey, hey, hey. Jill: (Sighs) Murphy: Since you're the one who opened the can of worms, I suggest you stay. I mean, other than prying Esther off the ceiling, Katherine is gonna need all the backup she can use. Jill: (Sighs) Jo-Jo: It is some spread you got here, Lady-- oh, I mean, Mom. (Chuckles) (Sighs) Jill: Well, good morning, you two. How's it going? Jo-Jo: Fan-falootin-tastic. Jill: Good. Good. Jo-Jo: (Grunts) Kay: Some present you brought me. Jill: You really didn't have to get on the plane, you know. Kay: Oh, now you're blaming me... (Scoffs) Jill: (Sighs) Kay: When you insisted that I had to meet her? Jill: Well, you could have said no. Kay: (Whispers) It's too late to go back now. Jo-Jo: Mm. Jill: (Sighs) Jo-Jo: Mm. My dogs are barking. Mm-hmm. Kay: (Chuckles) Jill: (Sighs) Kay: (Normal voice) Uh, well, while you're taking care of your feet, uh, perhaps there are some questions you would like to ask me? Jo-Jo: Ooh. You mean, why you abandoned me? Kay: I just assumed that you would want-- want to know. Jo-Jo: Not really. You gave me up. You must have had your reasons. You know, no point in dwelling on it. It was a long time ago. Kay: That's a very refreshing outlook. Jill: Look. Kay: Uh, some people would harbor a great deal of resentment, uh, were they in your situation. Jo-Jo: Nah, holding grudges, that's not my thing, especially when I get to crash in such a classy place as this. But you know what? I would like to ask you one thing. Jill: Oh, fire away. Jo-Jo: Well, you know, I was downstairs last night. I was looking around. I was looking at all of the pictures. There's a lot of you, and you live here. So, uh, what's the connection? Jill: I just own half the house. Jo-Jo: Ooh! So you're roomies. Jill: No. No, no, no. Kay: No. Oh, no, no, no, no. Jill: Katherine and I have just--have been in each other's lives for a long time. Kay: Uh, yeah. Um, yes. Uh, Jill, are you sure? Jill: Yeah, it's fine. Uh, there was a time that we actually thought I was her daughter. Jo-Jo: (Laughs) Well, you thought you were. But I'm proof positive-- ya ain't. (Clicks tongue) Kay: (Chuckles) [SCENE_BREAK] J.T.: Hey, I just finished my meeting. Thought I'd, uh, pick up Reed and meet you at Crimson Lights, have some of that hot chocolate you like so much. Victoria: Oh, that sounds perfect. Actually, your timing couldn't be better. I'm more than ready to leave. J.T.: All right, I'll see you in ten. Victoria: I'll be there. All right, wish me luck. You know where to find me if you need to get a hold of me. Nick: I really hope this trip is everything you want it to be. Victoria: Thanks. Nick: All right. Victoria: (Clears throat) Good-bye, Adam. Adam: You're not gonna congratulate me? Surely, Nick told you about my marriage. Victoria: Yes, he did. Enjoy it while it lasts. [SCENE_BREAK] Sharon: (Giggles) Neil: Is this what I think it is? Sharon: Yes. I got married over the holidays. Neil: Wow! So anyone I know? Sharon: Adam. Y-yes, Victor's son Adam, Nick's brother-- that is the Adam. Neil: Well, I don't think you really need to hear what I have to say about it, so... Sharon: (Laughs) I'm sure I know what you would say about it-- the same thing that most people would who don't know him that well. Neil: Yeah. Sharon... (Sighs) I'm sure you got your hands full just trying to make peace between your new husband and--and Nick. Sharon: Actually, the only thing I really care about is my son Noah, and I'm doing everything I can right now to help him through this transition. Neil: I'm sure you are. Sharon: As far as what everyone else thinks, who cares? I'm--I'm not gonna apologize for marrying someone who makes me happy. [SCENE_BREAK] Cane: Hey, Baby, hope you didn't eat, 'cause I picked up your fav-- huh. Wow. If I knew we were gonna have company, I would have got some more, uh, muffins. Lily: (Laughs) Malcolm: Your wife's a popular girl. Cane: I can see that. Lily: Um, let me put these flowers in some water. Cane: Sure. Billy: I-I should be getting home. I got to go. Cane: You know, Billy, actually, uh, if you could stay, I want to talk to you about something. Lily: Cane, if this is about Mac-- Cane: No, it's about Jill. Malcolm: Um, why don't I get some tea to go with those muffins? Lily: Um, yeah, I-I'll help you. Cane: (Sighs) Billy: What about Mom? Cane: I ran into her at Crimson Lights. Uh, she's a little upset. Billy: Oh. What, did she and Katherine get into it again? Cane: No, but she and Katherine's biological daughter might. Billy: W-want to back up? What? Cane: Apparently, Jill initiated the search for this woman, and now, uh, she wished she didn't. Billy: Oh, wow. I mean, after what a nightmare you turned out to be, I would have-- it's a new year, it's a new leaf, and I apologize. I'm sorry. Cane: Wow, Billy. I, uh, I accept your apology, but, uh, Jill's a little roughed up, so maybe she could have some support, so, you know, maybe give her a phone call or something, huh? Billy: Yeah, I'm gonna handle that. Cane: Okay, cool. Billy: (Clears throat) (Clears throat) Um... (Laughs) Thank you for the heads- up. Cane: You are welcome for the heads-up. Billy: Yeah. Cane: Yeah. Billy: (Sighs) Cane: See you. Billy: Uh-huh. Cane: Mm-hmm. [SCENE_BREAK] Tucker: I heard you and Katherine took the day off. Are you all right? Jill: Yeah, I'm hanging in there. Thanks for asking. Tucker: All right. Jo-Jo: Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, you're--you're the guy. You're the guy. The one--the one-- oh, you're the one on TV! It's Tucker McCall. Tucker: Yeah, that's me. Kay: Hello, Tucker. Tucker: Kay, Murphy. Murphy: Hi. Jo-Jo: Hi, I'm Jo-Jo. Tucker: Jo-Jo? Jo-Jo: Yeah. Murphy: She's, uh, Katherine's daughter. Kay: Uh, uh, Jo-Jo Glover. Tucker: Well, so you decided to find her. Good for you. Jo-Jo: Yeah. Hey, Tuck, would you mind, you know, posing for a little shot? Tucker: Uh, yeah, sure. Just, uh, give me a minute. Jo-Jo: Oh, no problem. Yeah. Kay: Thank you. Tucker: Uh, I hate to intrude on this family moment... Kay: No, no, no. Tucker: But I was just curious if you've given any more thought to Neil's proposal. Kay: Actually, I have looked it over. Tucker: Well, you must agree it would be a great coup for Chancellor. Kay: Yes, yes, yes. It has its merits, but I do have some concerns. In fact, I did write it down last night on a notepad that I put right here on the-- all right, all right. Where is the notepad? I had it right here, right here last night! Jill: Oh, Dear. Jo-Jo: Whoops. Kay: What? Jo-Jo: Uh, well, you know, when I came down last night, I was kind of looking around and I, you know, I accidentally knocked over a glass and, uh, you know... Jill: (Gasps) Jo-Jo: I figured, you know, if it--if it was I-important, you wouldn't have left it out. [SCENE_BREAK] Billy: Hey, Mom, it's me. I was hoping to run into you at Crimson Lights and hang out, but you're not here, so, um, call me back when you get a chance. Billy: Hey. Hey, hey, hey. Where is it? Victoria: Excuse me? Billy: Well, you trekked all the way back to my trailer to browbeat me about leaving your scarf there, but you're not wearing it. Victoria: Well, I won't need it where I'm going. I'm off to Dubai on Newman business. Billy: Oh, well, that's a trek. But if you, uh, miss the cold, they do have an indoor ski park, so... Victoria: Oh. Wow. Well, that's good to know. Billy: (Laughs) Hey. Thanks for making sure I got home the other night. Victoria: Try not to ruin any more lives while I'm gone. Billy: Yes, Ma'am. (Clears throat) [SCENE_BREAK] Chance: (Sniffles) Chloe: You know, it looks like they were grilling you like you were one of the FBI's "Most wanted." And if that guy is such an expert, then--I don't know-- why doesn't he know an innocent man when he sees one? Nina: Are they finally finished with you? Chance: We're about to find out. Sid: For the record... Chance: (Sighs) Sid: I don't think you're guilty. Chance: Thanks, Sid. Sid: Unfortunately, I don't have the final say. Charges may still be pressed. Chance: (Sighs) Can you at least tell me where I stand at this point? Sid: Suspended with pay. But if and when you do come back, you're off the Riggs case permanently. I'm gonna need your badge and your gun. [SCENE_BREAK] Lily: So, um, Uncle Malcolm was telling Billy and me about all the places he's been, and it turns out that he's even worked in Australia. Malcolm: Well, mostly in Sydney. What part do you hail from? Cane: Uh, outback, mostly. Malcolm: And, uh, you left, right, to find the love of your life? (Chuckles) Lily: (Sighs) Cane: So, um, where's your next assignment gonna be, Malcolm? It's, uh, far from here, is it? Is that where it is? Lily: Uh, we were actually just discussing that. (Doorbell rings) Cane: I'll get it. (Knock on door) Cane: Okay. Hey. Hey, man. Neil: Hey. Hey, man. How's our girl doing? Malcolm: She's doing great. Neil: Oh, hey, Malcolm. Good to see you. Uh, I wondered if I'd see you before you left. Cane: (Sighs) Malcolm: Yeah. About that, Neil, um, I know how you and Cane feel about my being here. Yeah. After talking it over with Lily, I've decided I'm gonna stay. Neil: So what-- what are we talking about? For an extended visit, or--or what? Malcolm: Well, I've been offered a job, and I'm considering taking it. Neil: Hmm. So we're talking indefinitely then? Malcolm: Yeah, Bro, indefinitely. (Clears throat) [SCENE_BREAK] Murphy: Was that a, uh, "C" or an "O"? Kay: Your guess is as good as mine. Jo-Jo: Say "Cheese." Tucker: Cheese. Jo-Jo: (Clicks tongue) Tucker: Any luck? Kay: No, I mean, it's pointless, just pointless. Obviously, this is-- this is just no time to be discussing business, Tucker. Tucker: I can see that. But my guess is that you did share your concerns with Jill. Jo-Jo: (Sighs) Kay: I have. Tucker: Well, then why don't she and I go over the deal? Jo-Jo: Damn, I just can't get a good-- Kay: Watch out! Jill: Oh! (Glass clinking) Kay: Oh! Jo-Jo: Oh! Good catch! Jill: (Gasps) Kay: That--uh, thank you, Esther. Murphy: There a, uh, there's a stronger signal out by the pool. Jo-Jo: Oh. Murphy: And you can get there through the kitchen. Jo-Jo: Oh. Yeah. Jill: (Sighs) Esther: Thanks a lot. (Sighs) Murphy: (Sighs) Kay: Now... you were saying? Tucker: (Chuckles) Obviously, you've got your hands full. Kay: (Chuckles) Tucker: Now why don't you let Jill go over the proposals with me and Neil, of course. Kay: Would you mind? Jill: No, not at all. [SCENE_BREAK] J.T.: I can't believe he drank his hot chocolate and now he's on mine. Victoria: I know. Well, he's gonna be really wired. J.T.: There you go. Victoria: I hope you're up for the challenge of all this. J.T.: Well, there's a reason I took the rest of the day off. Victoria: What? Did you hear that? He took the rest of the day off. Reed: Yay! Victoria: Yay! J.T.: (Chuckles) Victoria: And you know what? We're gonna have a lot of fun when I get back, just you and me. And I'm gonna call you every single day. You'd better pick up the phone. J.T.: (Sighs) Victoria: Okay? J.T.: Should we tell her your plan, Buddy? Victoria: Hmm. What's the plan? J.T.: Okay. He wants to use his new webcam to blow you a kiss every night before bed. Victoria: Oh. I love that plan. [SCENE_BREAK] Connie: The shipment requisition that you asked for, and your messages. Nick: Thank you, Connie. Connie: Mm-hmm. Nick: Hey, Connie, what is so important at "The Chronicle"? Connie: They need a quote from you about your brother's marriage. Adam: Wow. Newman family news spreads like wildfire, doesn't it? Nick: Interesting how that happens. Adam: Well, here's your chance. Nick: For what? Adam: Tell the world what you think about your brother and his marriage. Nick: Hello, Sharon. Sharon: You left this on the charger. But as long as I'm here, I'd like to know what you're going to say, too. [SCENE_BREAK] Cane: Billy offered you a job at "Restless Style," huh? Lily: Yeah. Isn't that great? Neil: (Sighs) Cane: No, Sweetie, I don't think it's great. Neil: (Groans) Lily: (Sighs) Okay, listen, I know that Uncle Malcolm coming back here has made things a little-- Cane: Way too stressful for you-- that's what it's done. Lily: No, challenging, okay? But we can get through this, if we could just get past all this constant tension. Cane: I don't know. I just think it's a bad idea. Lily: Cane. Cane: See, Malcolm, if you really cared about Lily, you would know this, and you would be on a plane out of here, and you would leave her alone. That's what you would do. Lily: Okay, no, no. That's not gonna solve anything. We have to deal with this. Otherwise, I won't be able to stop thinking about it, and you know what that'll do to me. Cane: (Sighs) Neil: Lily, you're absolutely right. Cane: (Sniffles) Neil: I'm sorry. You know, I'm--we... Cane: (Sighs) Neil: We've got to find a way past this, man. Lily: (Sighs) Neil: Would you mind giving us a minute, please? Lily: Of course, yeah. Malcolm: (Sighs) Neil: Well, that was nice. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was good. I-I got to hand it to you. Malcolm: (Sighs) Here it comes. Neil: I mean, seriously, Malcolm, just like the old Malcolm. You make it sound like that you're really staying for Lily, but we both know it's all about you suddenly wanting to be a part of that girl's life. Malcolm: There is another reason I'm staying. Neil: Oh, really? Tell me. What is it? Malcolm: You. [SCENE_BREAK] Victoria: Well... (Sighs) My car to the airport is waiting outside now. Victoria: I'm gonna miss you so much. J.T.: Come here, Buddy. (Groans) (Sighs) Victoria: (Sighs) J.T.: We'll miss you, too. Victoria: Good-bye, Baby. Bye. J.T.: (Whispers) Bye. Victoria: Okay. [SCENE_BREAK] Nina: I know you're not happy about being suspended, but after last night, I'm just glad that you're alive and well. Chloe: Yes. And the fact that you weren't fired probably means that you'll be back on the force really soon. And I really think that you should consider a less-threatening career choice. Chance: (Sighs) I still have so many questions about Riggs. Nina: Were you not listening to Meeks? Chloe: You're not on the case anymore, Chance. Nina: You've got to let this go. Chance: (Sighs) Riggs sent that note to me. Somebody planted those drugs on me. Somebody is targeting me. I want to know why. [SCENE_BREAK] Nick: Connie, please call back "The Chronicle" and tell them this is my quote-- "While my brother and I have had conflict in the past, it's important that we look to the future. I sincerely hope that Adam and Sharon are as happy as my wife and I. My heartfelt congratulations to both of them." [SCENE_BREAK] Tucker: I really believe this is an opportunity Chancellor cannot pass up. Jill: Well, if it's as good as you say it is, we're not gonna let it go by. Billy: (Chuckles) Holy crap. Esther: Oh, my God! Kay: What are you doing? Jo-Jo: Well, Murph didn't believe I used to be in the circus. Jill: Oh! Tucker: Um, that's my cue. I'll be in touch. Murphy: I believed you. I just said I wouldn't do it here. Jill: What brings you by? Billy: You didn't get my message? Kay: Those are collectible items. Here, give them to me--now! Jo-Jo: Sheesh! God! I've seen Easter eggs that are better-looking than those. Billy: So that's Katherine's daughter? Jill: How did you know about that? Billy: Well, Cane filled me in on the-- oh, she's coming this way. Jo-Jo: Hey, who do we have here? You a friend, or are you, uh, family-like like Jill? (Chuckles) Jill: This is my son. Jo-Jo: (Gasps) Ooh. Oh, yeah. What a cutie-patootie, too. You don't, by any chance, uh, crash along with the rest of the pack around here, do you? Billy: Sadly, no. Jo-Jo: Oh! Well, doesn't matter. 'Cause I--we're gonna have plenty of time to get acquainted, because I plan to get to know everybody who has anything to do with Mama Kay. Billy: I can't wait. Yeah. Murphy: Jo-Jo? Jo-Jo: Yeah? Murphy: Exactly how long are you planning to stay? Jo-Jo: Let's just say, I don't think it's too early to get started planning that "Welcome to the family, Jo-Jo" bash. Esther: (Whispers) Oh, my God. Kay: I don't care what those documents say. I want a D.N.A. test-- a D.N.A. test. [NEXT_ON] Deacon: What, did you come down here to remove the knife in my back? Amber: I need to know where "Little D." is. Michael: The lab has just finished its analysis-- all the evidence found in the gym bag at the dump. Sharon: I hear congratulations are in order.
