Kevin is worried when he gets a notice from the bank, they are going to foreclose on his house if he doesn't pay the $10,000 he owes them. Kevin goes to Gloria for help but she refuses because she still doesn't have the settlement money from the insurance company and also because of all the cash she gave to him for TagNGrab. Chloe and Chelsea both feel like their marriages are in trouble and they talk to each other and give each other advice. Chelsea and Chloe decide to join together in a clothing design business. Kevin tells Chloe she can't use the money from Tucker's buy out of TagNGrab because they need it to help pay for the house or they will lose it. Kyle and Phyllis both decide to work together to spy on Adam and make sure he doesn't double-cross Jack. Chelsea tells Chloe she and Adam were hiding Sharon in their cottage, and Chloe promises to keep it a secret. Cane feels like his ideas for Jabot aren't appreciated when Neil refuses to talk to him about marketing strategy for the company. Cane isn't too happy when Neil asks him to be Devon's mentor in the company. Jack calls his doctor to tell him that he lost his prescription for pain medicine and gets a refill. He also asks the doctor to up the dosage of his medicine because he is in more pain than he thought he would be. Jack ignores Phyllis and Kyle's suggestion that he take it easy on his fist half day of work and continues to take more pain medicine than is directed on the prescription. Chelsea is annoyed with Adam when she hears him making plans to eat lunch with Sharon, and he refuses to cancel his lunch plans with Sharon to go to lunch with her.
Adam: I'll try and check in with you later. Chelsea: Okay. But first... Adam: Mm, okay. Chelsea: Mm. Adam: All right, I'll definitely, definitely check in later. Chelsea: (Chuckles) You better. (Sighs) Adam: Hey, you okay? Chelsea: Yeah. Yeah, I'm just happy that things are back to normal now. Adam: You mean, with Sharon being gone? Yeah, I know. I-I've asked a lot of you. It's been challenging, to say the least, having her on the property here and having to keep secrets, which I'm gonna need you to exercise discretion still. Chelsea: I'm fully aware of that, Adam. Adam: Okay, I just wanted to get that out there. I mean, I'm--Sharon is emotionally and mentally in chaos. If anybody found that out, it'd be--it'd be disastrous, but, Chelsea... that has never, ever affected the way that I have felt about you, not once, okay? Chelsea: I'm just glad that you agreed with me that it was time for her to go. It's the best thing for us, Adam, and it's the best thing for her. Adam: Let's hope so. (Sighs) Oh, Chloe. You here to talk to me about GagNDrab? Chloe: You mean TagNGrab? Adam: I--yeah, what'd I say? Chloe: Oh, good morning to you, too, Adam. Actually, no, I came to talk with Chelsea. I know you want nothing to do with the company. It's all right. I get it. Adam: I'm glad someone does. Maybe you can impart that wisdom to your husband, tell him to back off. [SCENE_BREAK] Kevin: No. No! [SCENE_BREAK] Phyllis: Okay, so, uh, Summer, you--you didn't respond to any of my calls on Thanksgiving, so... uh, listen, I'm giving it one more try, okay? I think we have some important things to discuss, and, um, I would just like to take you out to lunch. That's--that's all. (Sighs) So hey, you could come by my office, see my office, and--and then we can go anywhere you want. You can--you can-- you can pick, all right? G-give me a call back. All right, Honey, I love you. What--what are you doing? What are you doing, Jack? Jack: I'm going to work... Phyllis: Absolutely not! Jack: For a half a day. Phyllis: No, this is too soon. Jack: Listen to me. I'm fine. Phyllis: You are not fine. I-I saw you coming down those stairs like a hermit crab. You are not fine. Jack: Well, thankfully, the elevators work at Newman Tower. Please, I need a ride, too. It's high time I check up on Adam myself. [SCENE_BREAK] Cane: Okay, so we need to prioritize my current deals. I have a list here of ad agencies I would like to pitch our sunscreen business to. Neil: Cane, Cane, listen, um, I know you're--you're juggling a lot these days, but I have a-- I have a brand-new assignment that I want you to take care of. I need you to put everything else aside. Cane: Sure, what is it? Neil: All right. (Clears throat) Devon: Hey, Cane. Cane: Hey. Devon: You wanted to see me? Neil: Son, I want you to meet your new mentor. It's Devon's first day on the job. I want you to show him the ropes, give him everything he's gonna need to climb to the top around here, all right? Devon: Nice. [SCENE_BREAK] Adam: You know, Kevin was standing just outside that door, pounding and screaming last night, making threats about "Making me pay." Then he left a litany of nasty voice messages. Chloe: Because he's upset, Adam. Adam: Clearly, he is, and he's crossed a line, and if you don't want him arrested for harassment, I suggest you put him on a shorter leash. Chelsea: Sorry. Chloe: That's okay. It's actually one of the more pleasant conversations I've had with Adam. Chelsea: Your message sounded urgent. Chloe: Oh, yeah. I guess I just make everything sound like that. (Chuckles) I just need to vent. Chelsea: Me, too. You first. What's going on? Chloe: My marriage is a mess, Chelsea. I'm afraid that Kevin and I-- we won't make it. [SCENE_BREAK] Jack: (Groans) Phyllis: Adam can come here, Jack. Jack: And ruin the element of surprise? Phyllis: No, listen. Jeez, you can't go to work and risk reinjuring yourself. Jack: I appreciate your concern. Dr. Carter came by earlier and told me my incision is healing quite nicely. Phyllis: Did he tell you to start, you know, running through the countryside celebrating? Jack: He told me to gauge how I'm feeling and choose my activities accordingly. Phyllis: Including going to work too soon? Jack: If I stay in this house and do nothing, wondering what Adam is up to, it's only gonna make me worse, okay? Come on. Half a day. Phyllis: All right, half a day. Jack: Thank you. Phyllis: I'm gonna hold you to that. Jack: Thank you very much. Can we get crackin'? Phyllis: All right, uh, wait, before we get "Crackin'," um, I think that we should clear the air about something. Jack: The kiss. Look, I overstepped, okay? When I asked you to stay with me to help me out, kissing was no part of the agreement. Phyllis: (Sighs) No, it wasn't part of our agreement. Why did you do it? Jack: Well, when you salvaged my near-disaster of a Thanksgiving, I got caught up in the moment and the memories and the what-ifs, and I know that's no excuse. I-I'm sorry, okay? That won't happen again. Phyllis: Yeah, that can't. Good, I-I'm glad we got that out in the open. Jack: Was it really that awkward? I mean, a little kiss for old times' sake? I-- Phyllis: (Laughs) No. Mnh-mnh. (Voice cracks) I'm glad we're in this place again. (Normal voice) I just don't want anything to mess up our friendship. [SCENE_BREAK] Chloe: Kevin is devastated, and it's partially my fault. We had the worst fight that we've ever had last night, and when I told him that I thought that we should move on from the company, he acted like I ripped his heart out and stabbed him in the eye, like I did it for fun. Chelsea: I'm sorry. Chloe: No, I-I was hoping that when I woke up this morning, he would have just cooled off and I was hoping he would talk to me, and he didn't. He just--he left without saying a word. Chelsea: Well, that's not fair. You were just speculating. You were saying, "What if we walk away?" Chloe: I don't understand. He's just being so irrational right now, you know? I mean, I-I'm afraid to say anything around him. I can't say anything. You don't think that I'm gonna lose my marriage because of a business, do you? Chelsea: (Sighs) A failed business, maybe. Chloe: (Exhales sharply) Well, I guess that's easy for you to say because, you know, you have all of this. Chelsea: You're right. No, you're right, but see, that's what I'm trying to tell you. When you and Kevin work through all of this stuff and things are going great, you're gonna look back on all of this and you are just gonna laugh. Chloe: Yeah, I hope we get to that point, but you're not saying that a successful business leads to a successful marriage, right? Because if that's what you're saying, then I'm gonna storm out of here in a huff, and not in a pretend huff. Like, a real huff. Chelsea: No, no, that's definitely not what I'm saying. Adam is C.E.O. of Newman right now, but we're... (Sighs) Things have been better. [SCENE_BREAK] Kevin: You are not an easy person to track down these days. Gloria: And you're a little late for Thanksgiving dinner. Kevin: Well, I can order the turkey club and we can pretend it's last Thursday if you hear me out. Gloria: Cute. You know, Jeffrey and I were very hurt that you stood us up. I had pecan damn pie, Kevin, and you wouldn't even join us for dessert. Kevin: It's not that I wouldn't-- Gloria: Mm-hmm, you couldn't, didn't. You weren't there. Expect the same for Christmas? Kevin: No. Gloria: (Chuckles) So you say now. Kevin: Don't take it personally, Mom, okay? It was a terrible, terrible day for Chloe and me. I'd have been lousy company. Gloria: Mm-hmm, and what was so terrible that you couldn't join your family for a little love and comfort? Kevin: Uh, I'm getting to that. I need your help with something. Gloria: I'm listening. Is it your health? Are you and Chloe okay? Kevin: We're fine. Gloria: (Sighs) All right, then what's got you so upset? Kevin: I need $10,000, or I'm gonna lose my house. [SCENE_BREAK] Devon: Really, man, I couldn't ask for a better mentor. Neil: Devon is interested in marketing. Cane, since that's your field, I'd like you to supervise his training personally. Cane: Sure. Neil: Hey, welcome aboard, Son. Devon: Thanks. Thank you. Neil: Yeah, my man. Come here a second. I got something for you. (Clears throat) All right, this right here... Devon: Uh-huh. Neil: An employee packet from H.R., and I want you to study it, know it backwards and forwards, all right? Own it. Devon: I will. All right. Neil: Wish I could show you around, but I can't. I got a meeting to get to. Devon: It's all good. Neil: You good? Devon: I'm fine. Neil: Yeah? Devon: Yeah. Neil: All right. Devon: Thank you. Cane: So it's, uh, it's a lot different from the music business. Devon: Yeah, it really is. I'm sure you're wondering why I'd want to put on a suit and tie and come work for someone else, but the, uh, truth is, it wouldn't be my first choice. I just realized it was time for me to get real. Cane: I thought music was real for you, though. Devon: Well, yeah, I mean, it was, but, Dude, it's tough enough to start up a record label, and now you have to be on a coast, where all the talent is, and I'm not willing to relocate and only see my family a couple times a year, so... Cane: Yeah, but when your heart's in something, you know, you'd think that-- Devon: Oh, trust me, music's been a passion of mine for a long time, but the best part is, I can look back and say I-I gave it a shot, you know? Cane: Yeah. Devon: Life goes on. Meanwhile, we're here, we have cosmetics, which, to me, is a little like music. They're both products that need to be marketed, you know? Neither one's a necessity, but the way I see it, they both bring joy to people's lives. Cane: Yeah, that's, uh, you know, that's one way you can look at it, I suppose, yeah. Devon: Cane, I might be off base here, but... I hope you're not worried that I'm--I'm here to try and take your job or something. Cane: No. No, no, I'm not-- I'm not worried about it. It's good. [SCENE_BREAK] Gloria: Sea bass for lunch. What kind of fish is that for lunch, and where are they getting it? It's probably not even fresh, even at that price. Kevin: Mom? Gloria: (Sighs) And that better not be my veal scaloppini recipe. You know, thanks to Angelo, that was one of our specialties. Did you notice that half my staff is over here now? Kevin: Did you not hear me? Gloria: Yeah, I heard you. And what's this? "Pork belly with sunflower seed congee"? I mean, is that for real? Are they making this stuff up for $23, huh? Kevin: You know, Mom, it took a lot for me to come to you with this. I have a very real problem. Gloria: Gee, Kevin, I got a problem, too. My restaurant burned to the ground. Maybe you heard about it-- the place that was my life, and everybody in this city went there? "Please, Gloria, table by the window." "Thank you, Gloria. The chicken pecan-- it was delightful." I finally had a little respect in this town, Kevin. But not anymore, 'cause everybody's coming here for congee and frozen sea bass and lemon curd for dessert. I mean, lemon curd? Kevin: (Sighs) Look, I'm sorry. That must be really, really difficult. And I guess, with everything going on in my life, I wasn't thinking about your loss. Gloria: That's right, you weren't thinking, especially when you forgot to come over for Thanksgiving. Kevin: But, Mom, as tragic as the loss of Gloworm is, it's happened already. The tragedy that I'm talking about can be avoided. It's in the future...like our family Christmas get-together. Gloria: You saying you're not coming for Christmas? Kevin: I'm saying it's going to be very difficult for Chloe and Delia and I to come over for dinner and a gift exchange if we don't have a house. Gloria: Oh, come on, Angel, it can't be that... bad. Kevin: It is that bad. Gloria: Well, I'm not sure I can help you. Kevin: Will you at least hear me out? [SCENE_BREAK] Chloe: Look... (Sighs) The worst thing that you can do in a marriage is keep things bottled up inside, so you need to talk to Adam and you have to tell him what's bugging you. Chelsea: Well, Adam's not really great at opening up. Chloe: Yeah, because he's a robot. Chelsea: (Laughs) No, I mean, I'm not great at it, either. I might need to rehearse with you before I talk to Adam. Chloe: Oh, yeah, go for it. Chelsea: Oh, n-no. (Scoffs) Chloe: What? Come on. You can tell me. Look, I-I promise I won't say anything. Okay, listen. I will lock it in the vault. I will lock it in the tomb. It's locked. Chelsea: Okay. The woman who was staying in our cottage-- it wasn't a housekeeper. It was Sharon Newman. Adam had her stashed there. Chloe: Okay-- Chelsea: No, wait, no, not because he was sleeping with her. She had a meltdown or a breakdown or whatever you want to call it. Apparently, she's had them in the past. Chloe: Oh, yeah. Sharon--she's a head case from way back. But wait, why does Sharon's falling apart mean that she can stay in your cottage? Chelsea: (Stammering) Thank you! That was my first question. Apparently, my husband has taken it upon himself to come to his ex-wife's rescue. Isn't that sweet and adorable and pretty and-- Chloe: Oh, yeah, but I guess he failed to tell you that. Nice. Chelsea: Yeah. I mean, she's gone now-- thank God--but I think we could have avoided all of this tension if Adam had just been honest with me to begin with. (Sighs) Chloe: If I was you, I would be foaming-at-the-mouth mad, okay? But, Chelsea... Chelsea: (Sighs) Chloe: Adam adores you. He would be an idiot to cheat on you, and he's not that. Chelsea: If Adam ever found out that I told you this, he would kill me, so you can't-- Chloe: No, I-I'm not-- I'm not gonna say anything. It's locked in the tomb. Chelsea: Okay, thank you. (Exhales slowly) Chloe: Look, I know that you guys have had your problems lately, and I know that you are hurt and confused, but you obviously have married a decent and loving guy. Chelsea: That's very big of you to say. Chloe: I know, and it felt very weird coming out of my mouth. Chelsea: (Laughs) Chloe: Look, Adam is not my favorite person in the world. I mean, he has done some really horrendous stuff to people in the past, but... it's obvious you've had a great influence on him. [SCENE_BREAK] Adam: Yeah, Candace, I'm gonna need all the financials you can get your hands on for Jabot Cosmetics. That's right, last five years. E-mail them to me as soon as possible. Jack: What the hell do you think you're up to with Jabot? [SCENE_BREAK] Kevin: When we first started TagNGrab, I took out a loan against the house and I haven't been able to keep up with the payments. Gloria: Why not? Adam wasn't your only backer. You had Katherine, you had me. Kevin: Mom, there's no such thing as an internet start-up making a profit right out of the gate. There was a ton of expenses, and before I knew it, I'd drawn down the entire line of credit. Gloria: Oh, come on, Kevin. Kevin: I know, and then the bank started sending these threatening letters, and I always thought I was gonna have the money to pay it back, but the last letter said if I don't pay it back now, they're gonna foreclose. Gloria: You know, I've done some stupid things, but to mortgage your home for something so risky... Kevin: (Sighs) Gloria: Chloe must be dying a thousand deaths. Kevin: She doesn't know. I didn't tell her that I used the house as collateral. Gloria: You didn't tell your wife? Kevin: Look, Mom, if you write me a check, I can fix this today and she'll never have to know. Gloria: Oh, gee, Angel, I wish I could help, but all my money's tied up. Kevin: All of it? Gloria: All of it. Everything that I had that was liquid-- oh, gee, I gave it to you to invest in TagNGrab. Guess I won't be seeing that money again. Kevin: What about your Gloworm settlement? Michael said it was gonna be worth $7 1/2 million. Gloria: And they are making us jump through hoops. We haven't seen a dime. Kevin: Mom, even a couple thousand dollars will help. I can pay you back, with interest. Gloria: I told you, I don't have a couple of thousand just laying around. Kevin: (Sighs) What if you go to a bank? You can borrow-- Gloria: Borrow?! I got nothing left, Kevin. You're gonna have to ask somebody else. Kevin: Mom, there is no one else. Gloria: Sorry. Kevin: Yeah, I can tell. I never should have come to you. You're just like Michael. You want me to fail. Michael wants me to fail. Everybody wants me to fail. Well, guess what? It's not gonna happen, not this time. [SCENE_BREAK] Chloe: Hey, you know what? I'm thinking that we need to be proactive. You need to stop thinking about Sharon and Adam... Chelsea: Yeah. Chloe: And I need to start thinking about my next career move. Chelsea: I take it you have something in mind. Chloe: Yeah, that whole fashion thing that we were talking about. Look, your designs, my savvy, my connections-- I mean... what? Chelsea: Nothing, nothing. It's just funny. I mean, we used to hate each other's guts, and now-- Chloe: Well, yeah, it's a lot less stressful being nice to each other than ripping each other's eyes out. Chelsea: I agree. I mean, we're not-- we're not gonna start braiding each other's hair anytime soon, are we? Chloe: (Laughing) No. How about going into fashion business together? [SCENE_BREAK] Adam: Jack. What a nice surprise. Didn't expect to see you up and about this soon. Jack: No, obviously. What do you want with Jabot's financials? Adam: You talked about wanting to fold it into Newman Cosmetics. I thought I would, uh, surprise you and go ahead on it. Jack: Jabot is off-limits until I say so. Forget it. Adam: Jack... I'm just kidding. That was a joke. Jack: Like hell it was. Adam: Hey, I do understand the chain of command, but there's no harm in me setting things up in case you wanted to pull the trigger on it. Jabot's a solid company. It would do well under the Newman umbrella. Jack: If anyone's going to check that out, it's going to be me. Drop it. End of subject. Kyle: Am I interrupting? Jack: No, not at all. Come on in, Kyle. Uh, Kyle has finished his internship. He is going to continue his training here at Newman. Adam: Ah, okay. Didn't you, uh, you quit to go to New York, right? Kyle: No, I quit 'cause I didn't want to work for Sharon. She's not qualified to run this company. Adam: Jack, you aren't, uh, gonna be having him step into Billy's position, right? Just so you have an Abbott in charge of operations? Kyle: Any promotions I get, I'll earn, and I don't have the experience for anything like that yet, so... Jack: As you can see, Kyle has a good head on his shoulders. Adam: I'm assuming we can set aside all differences and work for the greater good of the company. Kyle: I'll do my best. Adam: So say we all. Jack: Kyle, why don't you settle into your new office? I'll see that you're copied on any, uh, relevant reports to get you up to speed again. Kyle: Sounds good. Don't push yourself. Jack: I won't. Thank you. Adam: Nepotism. It lives on at Newman Enterprises. Should I consider legally changing my name to Abbott? Might increase my chances of keeping my job. Kyle: I can't believe my dad would hire a snake like Adam and then leave him in charge. I mean, what is he thinking? Phyllis: Yeah, you're-- you're preaching to the choir. I tried to talk him out of it. He wouldn't budge, so we have to cope with Adam. Kyle: If it were up to me, the guy'd be gone. Phyllis: Yeah, me, too. You have a plan? 'Cause I'm game if you have a plan. [SCENE_BREAK] Chelsea: Business together, just like that? Chloe: Do you want me to ask you out on a date first, buy you flowers? Chelsea: No. It's just--I'm-- I'm a bartender, Chloe. (Chuckles) Chloe: Dude, seriously? How many times do I have to remind you how talented you are, how amazing your designs are? Stop acting like such a girl. Chelsea: I'm not! It's just--I don't know anything about business. Chloe: You're a scammer and a con. You can smell an easy target, which means that you will be able to zero in on the right buyers, and I talk so fast, people won't even realize why they're saying yes. I am a genius when it comes to business. Chelsea: How's TagNGrab doing? Chloe: Shut up. Chelsea: (Snickers) Chloe: Do you doubt my credentials? Chelsea: No! I'm just saying, with my lack of experience, you better be able to talk really, really fast. Chloe: Okay, well, do you want to do this or not? Because it's not gonna get any easier, I'm telling you that. People in the fashion industry-- they get catty, and we're not even up and running yet. I mean, we haven't even started. I mean, when I walk in the door, Adam--he snarls at me. What is he gonna say when he finds out if we're working together? Chelsea: What about Kevin? How is he gonna feel when he finds out you're working with Adam's wife, hmm? Chloe: Kevin loves me and he loves money, and that, we are going to make. [SCENE_BREAK] Kyle: All right, until my dad is back full-time, you and I need to keep our eyes on Adam at every second. Phyllis: We'll double-team him and report back to each other. Kyle: Okay. Phyllis: Yeah. We'll give him power. Then he gets ideas of grandeur. It's his downfall, you know? Kyle: All right, but we gotta pretend like we support him, or we'll never get close enough to see what he's up to. Phyllis: Don't be obvious. Don't be obvious. He knows when he's being finessed. Kyle: Hey, don't worry. I just spent a month on Wall Street, biggest shark tank there is. Phyllis: So you know about Adam's spawning ground, and I know where the bodies are buried... Kyle: (Chuckles) Phyllis: And together, we're gonna do this. Kyle: Oh! Jack: So where's the contract? Adam: Legal's tweaking it. Jack: Well, go down there and tell them time is up. I need at least a draft. Adam: I'll e-mail 'em, see what they got. Jack: You know what? They're not gonna hem and haw on the phone if you just stand over their desk and hold your hand out. Go ahead. Adam: I'll be right back, Jack. Jack: (Groans) Phyllis: Spying on the boss, Adam? [SCENE_BREAK] Neil: Uh, so... Cane: So, um... you go. Neil: What do you think so far of the kid? Cane: Uh, you know, I think he's good. You know, he has a good attitude. Neil: Good. Excellent. Cane: I want to talk to you. I have some ideas, so-- Neil: I really wish I had the time, Cane, but I don't. I have to jump on a conference call right now. What? Something wrong? Cane: You tell me. I mean, I'm the head of marketing at this company. I want to talk to you about a marketing-related issue, and you keep brushing me off. Is there something I need to know? I mean... [SCENE_BREAK] Adam: Caught me. I was... (Whispers) Spying. Phyllis: Oh, so I was right. Adam: (Normal voice) He had a flimsy excuse to get me out of the office, some menial task, uh, an assistant could do. Phyllis: Oh, well, maybe he just wanted you out of the office. Mm-hmm. Adam: Exactly. He wanted me out, didn't want me seeing the kind of pain he's in. The man is pushing himself too hard. Phyllis: Is that your expert opinion? Adam: I have eyes, Phyllis. Phyllis: And ambition. Adam: True or false-- Jack, now that he's back up on his feet, needs a horrible setback. Phyllis: Oh, God, you-- Adam, your concern just moves my heart, ohh. Adam: You know, you are around Jack more often than I am, and apparently, you're shacking up with him now, so maybe you could influence him to just take it easy, unless you're the one with the ruthless takeover plan. Phyllis: Jack is my friend. He will always be my friend, and you should remember that. Adam: That woman. Adam: Sharon, hey, it's me. Uh, listen, I know that last night was the first night you were back at your place, and, uh, if you haven't eaten already, maybe we could grab lunch. I could bring over a couple sandwiches and just catch up, see how you're doing. Uh, call me back if you want. Thanks. (Exhales slowly) [SCENE_BREAK] Chloe: I've been looking for you. Kevin: Well, you found me. Chloe: Look, I just wanted to apologize for what I-- do you think that you could look at me when I'm trying to talk to you? I wanted to apologize because I know I said some things that hurt you last night, and I can't unsay them... but I'm sorry. Kevin: Okay. Chloe: Okay, well, now you're hurting me, or at least you're trying to. But you know what? I'm--I'm not gonna call you out on it because I know that you're just scared. Kevin: I'm not scared, Chloe. I'm angry. You see this face? This--this is anger. Chloe: Kevin, I-- Kevin: Normally, I try and bury it, pretend like everything is okay, because people don't like it when I'm angry. It makes them uncomfortable. It reminds them of a time when I wasn't such a nice guy and you couldn't just push me into doing something because I would push back and then somebody would be sorry, but since nobody cares how I feel... Chloe: That's not true. Kevin: I don't care who I make uncomfortable. Chloe: (Sighs) Why are you angry, Kevin? Kevin: Because-- because nobody will stand by me. Chloe: But that's not true, because I have stood by you, but it's time for you to accept the inevitable-- TagNGrab is lost. It's time to find a new dream. Kevin: (Sighs) The web site-- that was our dream. What else is there? Chloe: I've decided to start a new fashion venture with Chelsea, and since nothing else is pressing that we need the money for, I would like to take Tucker's buyout and invest the proceeds in that. [SCENE_BREAK] Chelsea: How's Sharon? Adam: I don't know. She didn't answer. I left a message. Chelsea: Yes, yes, so I heard. Adam: Chelsea, please don't overreact. Chelsea: How--how am I supposed to take this, Adam? Adam: I'm checking in on her. I'm seeing how she's doing and suggesting eating a couple tuna fish sandwiches, okay? I said I was not going to be abandoning Sharon, but I'm not lying, I'm not cheating, I'm not sneaking around. I'm being honest and upfront with you here. Chelsea: Okay. Okay, maybe it's not worth getting bent out of shape over a simple lunch. (Sighs) Let's start over. Hi. Adam: Hi. Chelsea: Hi. Adam: So to what do I owe this pleasure? Chelsea: I just thought I would surprise you at work. Adam: Mm, yeah? Chelsea: Mm-hmm. Adam: I'm sensing there might be a little more to it. Chelsea: Well, you're right, there is--a job opportunity that has me very excited. Adam: Is this another one of Chloe's crazy ideas? Chelsea: Yes, but, um, it's just so crazy, it just might work. [SCENE_BREAK] Jack: I am still amazed at how antiquated the operations in this company seem. First order of business is gonna be to modernize whenever possible. Phyllis: Oh, listen, I'm all for that. So... first day back-- how you feeling? Jack: Totally invigorated. It was a great idea. Phyllis: Well, you must be hungry, too. You didn't eat a morsel before we left the house. Jack: Eh, I wolfed down half a muffin in the break room. Phyllis: I think you're lying to me. Jack: What, are you the breakfast police? Phyllis: Well, you have to be starving. Hey, you know what? Hey, the--the Moroccan place down the--down the street-- Jack: Nice try. I told you, I need half a day without distractions. Candace, uh, listen, I need to set up an appointment with the head of I.T. yeah, we're overdue for a database upgrade. [SCENE_BREAK] Cane: I mean, do we have a problem? Neil: Cane, I don't have a problem. I'm just up to my eyeballs getting reacclimated. Do you understand that? I am not trying to brush you off. Cane: Okay. All right, cool. All right, well, when you get some time in your schedule, I'd love to sit down and talk some ideas through with you, okay? Neil: Tell you what-- why don't you talk your ideas through with Devon first? Brainstorm a little, you know? It'd be a good way to break him in. Then we can all meet this afternoon. How about that? (Intercom buzzes) Neil: Excuse me. [SCENE_BREAK] Chloe: Chelsea has design chops like you wouldn't believe. You don't understand. If I could take this and mold it into something, it will be amazing. All we need is start-up capital. Kevin: Well, the money-- the money is accounted for. Chloe: What are you talking about? Kevin: We have some serious financial issues we have to deal with before you can just invest in some new business. Chloe: What issues? Kevin, answer me. Kevin: We could lose the house. Chloe: The house that Angelo gave you? What are you talking about? What the hell did you do? [SCENE_BREAK] Chelsea: Do you have some time to talk about this? I'm dying to get started on a business plan. Adam: I cannot wait to hear all about it, Baby, but I gotta get back to work, okay? Chelsea: Well, why don't we just go to lunch? Adam: Yeah, but you overheard that I already have plans. Chelsea: I mean, you don't even know if Sharon's available. Adam: No, I made myself available. Listen, Honey, I gotta get back to work. Come here. [SCENE_BREAK] Jack: "Gentlemen, please advise--" Candace, hold on one second. Where was I? Uh, "Please advise on supply chain problems at our Indonesia plant. If you need--" why are you still here? I don't need a nursemaid. Don't you have work you have to do? Phyllis: Oh, yeah. Um, yeah. And think about lunch. Jack: I will, at dinner. Good-bye. Dr. Carter, please. Hi, Doc, it's Jack Abbott. Well, I'm doing okay. Look, I'm gonna need a refill on the painkillers. I've gone through the few pills you gave me at the hospital, and I can't seem to find the prescription that you wrote for me. Yeah, that pharmacy is fine. Uh, l-listen, I'm in a little more pain than I expected. Maybe we could up the dosage? Thank you, Doctor. (Groaning) "If you need to curtail production until this is resolved, please send me the revised projections A.S.A.P." End of memo. Next memo is to the entire Newman Enterprises executive staff. [NEXT_ON] Summer: Seems like lately, you're only willing to listen if we're talking about you. Michael: How much? Kevin: $10,000. Paul: I know what I want. I want you.
