Dru is having a rough day. She tells Neil that she isn't going back to the therapy sessions. He won't let her miss them and will drag her to them if he has to. Brad meets with Colleen about their grandmother. It is the Jewish New Year and they plan to celebrate it that night. Jack and Sharon are at the hotel. She has a scandalous bikini on. She wants Jack to come with her to the pool but he has a meeting and will meet her later. Rebecca hopes that Victoria doesn't mind her being there and in her way. Victoria is fine with her visiting but isn't sure that she can get used to hearing Rebecca refer to him as George. Nikki shows up for an appointment that she and Victoria had in town, but Victoria has forgotten all about it. Nikki sees that Victoria has a guest and is shocked that the woman is Brad's mother. Brad isn't happy that Nikki is there when he returns home, or that Victor is on his way over. Victoria arrives and they all talk and get to know Rebecca. When Rebecca is out of the room, Nikki peers at Brad curiously. She wonders if he has more surprises. He and Victor hear the story, or most of it, of how Brad has been living with his fake identity for over twenty years. Brad conveniently leaves out the part about killing the kidnapper. He just says that the man who was chasing them died. Victor takes everything at face value, but Nikki can't shake her negative feelings about Brad. Sharon is out of the hotel room, and that is when Abhijit Nair arrives to meet with Jack. Gloria is on Kevin's computer and finds an image of Jack's email. Kevin is cornered and finally admits that he and Michael put something together to control the Abbots. She loves it! Katherine asks Ashley if she has ever heard of Raaz Cosmetics. She hasn't. "Well they approached us asking about the purchase of Jabot " In the Caribbean, Jack has finished his meeting the Mr. Abhijit Nair. Jack promises that Raaz Cosmetics is going to have a profitable year. Neil and Dru go to the session. The doctor is surprised to learn that Dru cheated with Neil's brother. Dru accuses Neil of cheating and he says that he only kissed Carmen. The doctor declares a 'no contact' period. "Two weeks of no personal contact!" They go to the office and a deliveryman brings an envelope for Neil. Dru decides to open it. It is a copy of a deed. She phones Devon telling that he needs to help her find out what Neil is up to!
Jack: I'm in Suite 412. I look forward to meeting you. Yes, sir. Jack: Wow! Sharon: Okay... you tricked me, Jack! See, the way I remember it, you were going to be the one working. And I was supposed to be the one on tropical holiday. Jack: How was I supposed to have my NVP spokesperson here in Antigua and not use her to promote the opening of a new retreat? Sharon: But see, I remember the plan was... I was going to lie by the pool. I was going to have cocktails and wait for you to join me. Jack: You will. And I will... after my meeting. Sharon: And... after my photo shoot and after my interview... when are you gonna be back? Jack: I don't know. Sharon: Well, can I give you some kind of incentive? You know, maybe to hurry up? Jack: Oh, trust me, you've, uh, already done that. [SCENE_BREAK] Gloria: Congratulate me! Kevin: Hey, I heard you were back! Gloria: Yes! Kevin: How was China? Gloria: Oh, China was incredible! I've never had an experience like that! Kevin: Why do you look so stoked? Gloria: Because... ''Perfume On The Glo'' prototype! Kevin: Oh, wow! It's great. Then again, I'm not your target demographic. Have you shown this to Katherine and Jill? Gloria: Yes, and they love it. And it's full-steam ahead. Kevin: Congratulations! Gloria: The lawyer's putting together the deal right now. Kevin: I knew you could pull this off. Gloria: No, you didn't. Kevin: Yes, I did. In fact, I was so confident, I started working on a web site. Gloria: Really? Kevin: Yeah. Yeah, you're amazing, Mom. You're like one of those people that can do anything you set your mind to. Gloria: Oh, Honey, thank you. Thank you. People are finally starting to believe in me around here. Kevin: Yeah, you're learning the business pretty quickly. Gloria: Yes! Yes! And it's not just that Ashley wanted me to fail and I didn't. Kevin: No, it's not silly. You're a natural. And Ashley is just gonna have to deal with that. [SCENE_BREAK] Neil: What time is your counseling session today? Dru: I'm not going back to that. That was a big waste of time. Neil: Drucilla, you're gonna go back. If I have to take you there myself. [SCENE_BREAK] Brad: Hey, Baby. Colleen: Hi, Dad! Brad: Hi. Colleen: Um, would you like a table? Brad: No, thank you. But I will take an iced tea. Colleen: Sure thing. Brad: How's school going? Colleen: Uh, yeah, it's, you know, its fine. Brad: Hey, uh, were you planning to stop by the house tonight and visit your grandmother? Colleen: Of course, I was. I just have to finish my shift here. (Cell phone ringing) Brad: Oh, excuse me. Hello? Hi, Mom. Uh, Honey? Yes, I think it's in the cabinet above the coffeepot. Okay, no problem. Yeah, I'll pick it up on my way home. Okay. Rosh Hashanah starts tonight at sundown. It's the Jewish New Year. Colleen: The Jewish New Year, I know. You know, Dad, I'm not a complete illiterate, okay? I have done my research, thank you. Brad: It would mean so much to me and your grandmother if you would come celebrate with us tonight. Colleen: I would be honored. [SCENE_BREAK] Victoria: No, I won't consider it until I see the energy costs and the EPA Report. That was five years ago. We have nothing to talk about until I see that new report. I smell yeasty bread dough. Rebecca: It's my Challah. Uh, let me get out of your way. Victoria: No, Rebecca, you're not in the way. You know, we're all very happy you're here. Everything happened so quickly, you and I never really got a chance to know each other, you know? Rebecca: I'm sorry George and I had to be so secretive. Victoria: I understand why you had to be. I do. Anyway, everything's out in the open and you don't have to hide anymore. And Brad doesn't have to keep his secrets anymore. (Doorbell rings) Victoria: Oh, excuse me. You know, I don't think I'm ever gonna get used to you calling him "George." Nikki: Hi, Sweetheart, I'm early. Victoria: Mom! Nikki: Are you ready? Victoria: Hi. Ready? Uh, oh, lunch! I completely forgot! Nikki: Yeah. Victoria: Um, come in. Nikki: Oh! Oh, you have company. We can do lunch another time. It's all right. Victoria: No, um, mom, um, this is Rebecca... Brad's mother. Nikki: Oh! Um, well, hello, I'm Nikki. I'm--I'm Victoria's mother. Rebecca: I'm pleased to meet you. Nikki: I have to say, I'm shocked to meet you. [SCENE_BREAK] Dru: You know, Neil, I'm really not feeling well. I'm not even gonna stay at work all day. I'll just go to the therapist tomorrow. Neil: Yeah, tomorrow, tomorrow. Tomorrow you'll have another excuse. Dru: Oh, get off my back, will you? Neil: It isn't easy to face yourself, Dru. I know. I've been there. But see, you did trash Carmen's hotel suite. And if you flake on the therapy, you're gonna be violating the terms of your probation. Dru: You know what? I don't wanna discuss this anymore. Neil: Drucilla, it's not a punishment. It's supposed to help you. Dru: I don't need therapy. Neil: Well, that's not what the prosecutor and the judge believe, do they? Have you considered the possibility that eventually counseling might help you feel better? Look... why don't I go with you? Dru: I don't need a ride. Neil: All I'm saying is, if the therapist thinks it's a good idea, we could have a session together. Dru: Oh, right, so you could just sit around and watch me fall apart in the office? Neil: That's silly of you to say. All I want is for you to take responsibility and figure out a way to prevent something like this from happening again, that's all. Dru: I know exactly how to resolve the situation. You have to stop seeing Carmen Mesta. And then maybe this wouldn't happen again, Neil. Neil: Hey, hey, hey, be careful with your words. You say that to anyone else, it could be interpreted as a threat. So... a session with your counselor-- it might be helpful to both of us. What do you say? Dru: You really think that Dr. Lynch can save our marriage? Neil: Our marriage and your court-ordered therapy are two different things. Dru: I think they're related. [SCENE_BREAK] Sharon: So who are you meeting with? Jack: Oh, a guy from water and power. I guess there's some kind of snafu. Sharon: Hmm, hey, um, do you want me to be a little ambiguous about the date we're opening? You know, just in case? Jack: No, no, no, we'll settle everything today. Sharon: Okay. Can I borrow your MP3 player? Mine's charging. Jack: Uh, sure. Sharon: Thanks! [SCENE_BREAK] Gloria: I love having a web page for my own product! Kevin: Yeah. You know, now that I'm looking at the prototype, I think we could do something with brighter colors. Gloria: Absolutely. Kevin: I have to go. Hey, don't touch anything. Gloria: Okay. Ha! Gloria: Hello, Ashley. Ashley: You need to read these and submit your summaries, clearances and detailed manufacturing specs for the startup of 'Perfume On The Glo'. Gloria: I love homework. Ashley: Good. And you'll need to have these ready before our staff meeting tomorrow. Gloria: Fine. Ashley: Good. Gloria: Would you like me to restructure the management flowcharts, repaint your office and maybe even bake you a cake? Ashley: You know, that's just the way it is around here. There's a lot more to business than just brainstorming. Gloria: Bring it on. [SCENE_BREAK] Colleen: Club sandwich, whole wheat. JT: Excuse me, folks, I'm doing a survey for the Genoa City athletic club. Would you describe your waitress as cheerful and helpful, or incompetent and unpleasant? Colleen: JT! JT: I got your message what's up? Colleen: Well... that all depends. How adventurous are you feeling? Huh? JT: Well, what are you thinking? Colleen: Come here. JT: Really? Colleen: Really, but first, you have to come celebrate Rosh Hashanah with my family tonight. JT: Well, that would be a first for me. Are you gonna start celebrating all the Jewish holidays now? Colleen: Possibly. JT: And still observe the other ones? Colleen: I don't know. I haven't really thought about that. JT: Well, I think you should. Colleen: No, I am thinking about it. It's just that-- JT: Well, I think you should celebrate all of them because it just means more partying. Colleen: Wow! That is such a deep and philosophical reasoning. JT: Thank you. Colleen: You're welcome. JT: But seriously, what are you gonna observe from now on? Colleen: Seriously, I wish I knew. [SCENE_BREAK] Nikki: Well... Victor's on his way over. I hope it's all right. I know he'd wanna meet you. Victoria: Oh, yeah, of course. Yeah, that's fine. Rebecca: I'd love to meet your husband. (Door closes) Brad: Victoria, is that Nikki's car-- Nikki: Hi, Brad. Brad: Hey. It would appear you've met my mother. Nikki: Yes, just. Victoria: Yeah, and, uh, Dad's on his way over now. Mom called him. Brad: Okay, uh... well, I will go put the groceries in the kitchen. And... then it's showtime. [SCENE_BREAK] Dru: Um, I'd like you to meet my husband, Neil Winters. Neil: Hello. Dru: Neil, Dr. Lynch. Neil: Hi. Dr. Lynch: Nice to meet you, Mr. Winters. Neil: Likewise. Dru: Um, I was wondering if my husband can sit in for this session. Dr. Lynch: Why? Dru: Well, you know, I think it might help me. Dr. Lynch: Well, I don't suppose once is a problem. But we will have to follow the court's stipulations after this. Dru: Okay, thank you. Dr. Lynch: Mr. Winters, why don't you have a seat there? Neil: Sure, thank you. Dr. Lynch: Dru. Dru: Thank you. Dr. Lynch: So... how long have you two been married? Dru: Um, well, five years the first time and three years and holding. Neil: We were divorced and remarried. Dr. You must have a very strong connection. As I understand it, both your children are now in college? Neil: Yes, and our daughter is married. Dru: Too young to be married, but married. Dr. Lynch: It can be tough on parents when the kids leave for school. Dru: We don't have trouble with our kids, you know. In fact, our son Devon still lives with Neil. I'm the one who moved out because of the problems we were having. Dr. Lynch: What problems? Dru: Well, um... my husband fell in love with another woman while I was away working in Europe. Neil: That's absolutely not true. Dru: Are you gonna sit and deny that you're cheating on me with Carmen? Neil: I didn't cheat. I didn't have an affair. But I thought about it. And we kissed, that's it. Dru: You kissed?! [SCENE_BREAK] Sharon: Vivaldi... Rap... and Sinatra... and Gospel. You listen to gospel? Jack: My musical tastes are all over the place. Sharon: Yeah, I can see that. This is quite an eclectic collection you have here. And I thought I knew you, Jack Abbott. Jack: You know, I listen to Sinatra before I go on a date. It always puts me in the mood. Sharon: And Vivaldi? Jack: I run to Vivaldi! Get lost in chamber music, the miles just go by. Sharon: Okay, rap? Jack: Rap? Sharon: Wait, let me guess! You're on your way to a big business meeting and you have to conquer to survive, you know? Jack: You see? You do know me. Sharon: I guess I do. Jack: Exactly right. Sharon: And gospel? Jack: I listen to gospel when nothing else makes me happy-- when my life overwhelms me. The sound of a gospel choir makes me smile from the inside out-- the same way you do. [SCENE_BREAK] Victor: Well, hello, everyone. Brad: Victor, I'd like you to meet my mother, Rebecca Kaplan. Victor: Hello. You look remarkably healthy for a deceased woman. Nikki: Oh, Victor! Victor: And you have a good sense of humor. Nice to meet you. Rebecca: I was just telling your wife how much I like your daughter. Victor: Well, we all do, you know? Rebecca: I've heard a lot about you. Victor: I would not trust everything your son tells you about me. Rebecca: Oh, would you excuse me? Victor: Of course. Rebecca: I have to, uh, get the Challah out of the oven. Victor: Aha. All right. Victoria: Okay, I know you're surprised. Nikki: Victoria, that's an understatement. Brad is just full of surprises, isn't he? Can't wait to see what the next one is. [SCENE_BREAK] Dru: I cannot believe you kissed that woman! And you sit there all self- righteous and all innocent? Neil: Drucilla, you asked me a question, so I gave you an honest answer. Not what you expected. But if you can't see the huge difference between a lapse of judgment that ends with a kiss and a lapse of judgment that ends in sex, then maybe you're equating having my brother's child with a kiss. Dr. Lynch: Uh, okay... Dru: So you're never going to forgive me for what happened between Malcolm and me? Neil: Oh, please, you know what? You lied to me for 17 years. Dr.: The man is your brother? Dru: He's my brother-in-law. And he is the natural father of my daughter and I explained to the doctor exactly I did that, Neil. So that I would protect the family and keep us together. And I just-- you know, I've apologized for this. Maybe I was wrong, okay? I can't undo what I did. You know, I keep saying I'm sorry. I'm gonna say I'm sorry again! But it's gonna be your problem if you can't accept my apology. But I'll be damned if I'm gonna continue to sit here and be punished over and over for this one mistake. And we need to make a decision. Okay, either we're gonna get divorced or we're not gonna get divorced. But we need to get off the pot, because you're driving me crazy with your pontificating! [SCENE_BREAK] Sharon: Jack... I have an interview. Jack... I have a photo shoot. Jack: I regret that I have but one life to give for my company. Sharon: I have to go. Jack: We will pick this up later. Sharon: How about I order us massages before dinner? Jack: Well, there's a great idea. (Telephone ringing) Jack: Hello? Yes, send him right up. Thank you. [SCENE_BREAK] Brad: So after my mother was liberated from the concentration camp, she began working to recover the art the Nazis had stolen from Jewish families. Rebecca: Only a portion of what was stolen has been recovered. Nikki: I saw one of those pieces at the art institute. Rebecca: Degas' "Landscape with Smokestacks." Nikki: Yes, that's right! Victor: That's right. Mrs. Kaplan, I admire you for the work you have done. Brad: Because of that work, my mom received death threats. So for 20 years we've lived under assumed names. Victor: I knew Brad Carlton wasn't your real name. Nikki: How did you know that? Victor: Because when we hire someone at Newman, we do a background check. Brad: So what did you find out about me, Victor? Nikki: Well, apparently, not the whole truth. Where is your father? Brad: He passed away. Nikki: I'm sorry. So if it's been unsafe all these years, what's happened to change that? Brad: The man who was pursuing us died recently. Nikki: And what was his name? Brad: Herman Mueller. Victor: You must have missed out on a lot of life with your son, Mrs. Kaplan. Rebecca: I dreamed about the births of my grandchildren and his marriage to your beautiful daughter. But I'm grateful to be alive and healthy and... here today. Please, excuse me. Nikki: So what was your given name? Brad: George Kaplan. Victor: Hmm. You gonna use that name? Brad: I don't plan to. But I could always change. Nikki: George Kaplan. Is there, um... anything else that we don't know about? Brad: I put gravel in my high school biology teacher's hubcaps once. Nikki: That's it? Brad: That's it. [SCENE_BREAK] Neil: We're not here to make decisions about our marriage. We're here because the judge ordered you to get your anger under control. Dru: Well, excuse me, for seeing the connection. Dr. Lynch: Neil is right that our primary focus is not the state of your marriage. But... you did come with Drucilla today for some reason. Neil: That's because she threatened not to come. I wanted to force her hand. So I made the offer. She needs to own up to what she did to Carmen Mesta and quit blaming the rest of the world. Dru: I'm not blaming the rest of the world, Neil. I'm blaming Carmen Mesta for trying to ruin our marriage! Dr. Lynch: You cannot rationalize what you did. Dru: No, I know. It's just that I can't wrap my mind around... I can't believe that you could love another woman, Neil! And so I made a mistake. And I drank too much. And, you know, I-- Neil: Wait a minute. Excuse me. First of all, Doctor, I don't love another woman. And secondly, the alcohol defense? Oh, it's the vodka talking, not me? Dru: Neil... I know you love me. And... I'm sorry and I'll do anything to get us back on track, please! Neil: Drucilla, I don't think any of it really matters. Dr. Lynch: Why wouldn't it, Neil? Neil: Because honestly, I don't have any faith in our future. Dr. Lynch: What is it that made you two fall in love in the first place? [SCENE_BREAK] Brad: I've done my best to keep my history from having a negative impact on Victoria and the girls. Victor: Well, that is my priority as well. Now if you need any kind of an investigative assistance to make sure that this threat is gone, then let me know. I'll help you. Brad: Oh, I can assure you, Victor, the threat is gone. Rebecca: The last thing I want to do is bring turmoil into this family. Nikki: Oh, no! I think you're a wonderful role model for this family. Will you be staying in Genoa City long? Rebecca: I'm not sure. (Doorbell rings) Brad: Sweetheart. Colleen: Hi, Dad. I hope you don't mind that I brought JT. Brad: No, he's, uh, certainly welcome. JT: Thank you. Brad: Come on in. JT: Hello, Victor, everyone. Nikki: Hi. Victor: Hello, JT and hello, Colleen. Colleen: L'shanah Tovah. Victor: L'shanah Tovah. Brad: That means "Happy New Year." Rebecca: Can you imagine what it means to hear those words from my granddaughter? Colleen: Did I pronounce it correctly? Rebecca: It never sounded more beautiful. L'shanah Tovah. Happy New Year. Colleen: Come here. [SCENE_BREAK] (Knock on door) Man: Mr. Abbott? Jack: Yes. Man: Abhijit Nair. Jack: Uh, we have a lot to discuss and very little to do it. Please, come in. [SCENE_BREAK] Gloria: Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no, please, come back. Please, please... (Gasps) "The ball is in play." Kevin: Sorry that took so long. The server has been giving us grief all day long. Gloria: Kevin! Have you been reading Jack Abbott's e-mails? Gloria: Are you spying on Jack? Kevin: Mom... Gloria: Are you? Kevin: You don't wanna know, okay? Gloria: Are you hacking into his computer? Kevin: No! I hacked into the Newman server and from there I can look at anyone's files. Gloria: How? Kevin: It's a corporate security software. Look, Mom, you wouldn't understand. Gloria: Yes, I understand completely! I just wanna know why. Kevin: So I can keep an eye on Jack, monitor what he's doing. If he makes any moves against Jabot, we're gonna be ready. Gloria: Brilliant! Brilliant! Just why didn't you tell me? Kevin: Because Michael said not to. Gloria: Michael? "I'm an officer of the court" Michael? Kevin: Yeah, that guy. Gloria: Isn't this illegal, Kevin? Kevin: Mom, he's as disgusted as I am at the way the Abbotts have been treating you. Don't tell him you know anything, okay? Gloria: No, no, no, I promise. It's fine. I won't say a thing. Ashley: You'll need to read these proposals over and sign off on them, please. Gloria: Sure. Oh, I will do that. And we will finish this conversation in private, Kevin. [SCENE_BREAK] Neil: Drucilla, was a wild child. Dru: I was a runaway. Neil: Lived on the streets for awhile. Dru: I was trying to put the pieces of my life back together. I literally ran into Neil. Neil: Yeah. Ran into me with your mail cart. Dru: I worked in the Jabot mailroom. Neil: I worked for the same company. Boy, Dru, you were feisty and furious. Dru: He used to look down his nose at me. Neil: You were so beautiful and unpredictable. Dru: Neil was handsome. He's still handsome. He made me feel safe. Neil: We had a lot of fun. Dru: We did. Neil: Drucilla was the most exciting woman... I had ever met. Dru: Neil, I'm still exciting. I'm still exciting. I mean, we can work through this marriage. We can do it. Neil: I wish we could find a way. Dr. Lynch: What's stopping you? Neil: Every time I look at you, Dru, I see you sleeping with my brother. And more importantly, hiding it from me for years. Now I know-- I know that's a flaw of mine, but I-I don't know how to fix it. Dr. Lynch: You've made a good first step by coming here together. Now it's time to take the next step. Dru: What? Anything. Anything. Dr. Lynch: I want you to stay away from each other completely for the next two weeks. [SCENE_BREAK] Colleen: Would you like me to set the table? Victoria: Thank you, Colleen. Colleen: Excuse me. JT: I'll go with you. Brad: Victor, will you and Nikki stay for dinner? Victor: Brad, that's very kind of you, but I don't really want to intrude. Rebecca: You're not intruding. I always cook way too much food. Brad: Uh, we would have leftovers for a week after the holidays. Rebecca: I made Kugel. Brad: I guarantee you, you have never tasted anything like my mother's Kugel. Victor: I bet you. Victoria: What is it? Brad: Uh, well, it's a noodle pudding. Although, it really doesn't taste like pudding at all. It tastes--you know what? You'll taste it and you'll figure it out for yourself. Rebecca: So you'll stay? Victoria: You really are welcome to stay, Daddy. Victor: That is very kind of you. Thank you for the invitation, but I have been under the weather a little. Nikki: My husband's been ill. He really shouldn't overdo it. Rebecca: Oh. Victor: But please, don't be a stranger come by and visit. Rebecca: I'd like that. Victor: Nice to meet you. All right. Brad: Good night, Victor. Victor: Good night, Bradley. Nikki: Victoria, what do you think of all this? Victoria: I... really haven't had a chance to get to know his mother and their religion and everything. Nikki: No, no, no, I'm not talking about his mother's heroism. I'm talking about, can we trust what he says? How do we know whatever he's saying is true? Victor: Well, I think he was just protecting his family and his mother, you know? Nikki: Well how do we know that is all there is to his history. Victoria: It is. I promise you. Nikki: How do you know for sure? Victoria: Mother, you have to leave it alone. Just have a little faith in him. Have faith in him. Nikki: A little faith in Brad is exactly what I have. Thank you, I'll see you later. Victor: Okay, my sweetheart. Victoria: Bye, Daddy. Victor: Okay? Victoria: Yeah. Victor: everything will be fine. Victoria: Yeah. Victor: All right? Victoria: Good night. Victor: Bye. [SCENE_BREAK] Dru: So, Dr. Lynch, what would two weeks apart-- you know, what would it do for us? Dr. Lynch: Well, it can help you refocus your priorities and intentions. It's what we call a "no contact period." Dru: I don't know that a no contact period would be a good plan for us. Dr. Lynch: Well, the purpose of no contact is to give you a chance to cool off. To give you the opportunity to work individually on those things that have brought you to this point. Neil: So... then are you saying you want me to go to therapy, too? Dr. Lynch: Marriage is a mutual responsibility. Examine what you might've done or neglected to do, what words or actions you may have misinterpreted. Once you've done that, you'll be able to decide what you really want to do or not do. Whether to move forward together or move onto separate lives. Dru: Well, I don't see how it's possible to have no contact. We work in the same building. Dr. Lynch: Well, you can minimize contact. And no discussions of personal issues. Neil: I think we should do this. Dru: I don't agree. But okay, for now. [SCENE_BREAK] Brad: I wish I'd known your parents were coming. Victoria: Sorry. I was as surprised as you were. Brad: I just wanted to prepare my mother so we could get our stories straight before she met your parents. I didn't want to tell them everything. I certainly don't want them to know that I had to kill those two men. Victoria: No, I think you left out everything you had to. It went as well as it could've gone. Brad: You think they believed me? Victoria: Yeah, I do. Brad: I don't know. Maybe Victor, but Nikki did not seem happy. Victoria: Don't get paranoid. Brad: Nikki seemed a lot more suspicious when she walked out of here than she was when she walked in. [SCENE_BREAK] Nikki: You were awfully quiet on the drive home. Victor: I'm just tired. Nikki: What do you think about this bizarre tale we've just been told? Victor: Oh, that? Um... if you're asking me if I believe it? Nikki: Do you? Victor: Well... I have a feeling that Brad Carlton did what he did because he wanted to protect his family. Nikki: I think if a man tells one lie, he'll tell other lies, too. [SCENE_BREAK] Brad: I wish I could shake this feeling that I've made things worse with your parents. Victoria: You spent your entire adult life worried that you'd be found out. You don't know how to let go. Brad: Victoria... I worked so hard to get your parents to trust me. And then I felt like I was actually getting there. I would hate to think that I'm back to square one. Colleen: Dinner's ready. Victoria: All right! JT: Where do you want me to sit? Victoria: Oh, JT, sit over there and Colleen, across from him. Rebecca, this is a seat for you. Rebecca: Um... would you like me to say the prayer? Brad: Actually, I remember it, Mom. Rebecca: Let's say it together? Brad: With these lights... we welcome Rosh Hashanah. [SCENE_BREAK] Dru: Neil, I was thinking that maybe we could-- Neil: Does it have anything to do with work? Dru: Well, no, but we- Neil: We are going to do exactly what Dr. Lynch recommended. Absolutely no contact. No talking about personal issues. Dru: Neil... Dru: Hey, Sharon, it's Dru. I was hoping I'd catch you. I could really use a friend right about now. Hope you're having fun. Bye. Call me. Man: Excuse me? Dru: Yes? Man: I'm looking for Neil Winters. Dru: Oh, um, I'm his wife. I can sign for this. Man: Oh, okay, great. Dru: Yeah. Thank you. Man: Thank you. Great. Thank you. Have a nice day. Dru: Thank you. Dru: Devon, Honey, it's Mom. Listen, um, can you meet me at the athletic club ASAP? Good. Good. Your father's up to something and I need to know what. Okay, bye. [SCENE_BREAK] Gloria: You got a signal? Kevin: Yep. Gloria: All right, Jack's latest business dealings? Kevin: "Vital Step Incorporated, Bead Interiors, and Raaz Cosmetics." [SCENE_BREAK] Kay: Ashley, have you ever heard of Raaz Cosmetics? Ashley: No, it doesn't ring a bell. Why? Kay: Well, I got a phone call from t representative and they want us to send them a prospectus for Jabot. And they want us to arrange a meeting. [SCENE_BREAK] Mr. Nair: When you call them, tell them I sent you. Jack: I'll do that. Uh, looks like it's gonna be a banner year for Raaz Cosmetics. Mr. Nair: I hope so. Jack: Take care. Yes! Jack: Hey! Perfect timing! Sharon: Yeah? So how did it go with the department of water and power? Jack: Couldn't have gone better. How'd your interview go? Sharon: Fine. Oh, give me some of that. Jack: From this moment on, I am all yours. Sharon: Well, you know... I think getting out of Genoa City did you some good. Jack: You have no idea. Jack: Mmm, gimme that. Come here. [NEXT_ON] Dru: You stay home with Dad. Devon: You want me to stay home to spy on him. Carmen: We have a professional relationship. Neil: And we're also attracted to each other. Victoria: It's just gonna take some time for me to get used to the fact that the man I married is not the man I married.
