Despite his personal feelings for her, JT advised Brittany to tell Bobby the truth of her pregnancy. She thanked him for his support, and admitted that she was insecure because of Nikki. Bobby was furious when Nikki admitted she'd planned the funeral, not Brittany. Nikki urged him to realize Brittany had meant well and not chastise her. Bobby thanked Nikki with a hug, which Brittany witnessed. Kevin told Michael he finally felt like his life was getting back on track, and gave him a lottery ticket gift. Michael admitted to Lauren that he was worried Kevin was seeking help for Mac's sake, rather than his own. JT told Mac that he and Colleen had broken up. Mac suggested they spend Valentine's Day together. Ashley learned about Jack throwing the chair through the window and confronted him about Brad's sudden attitude change. Jack warned that his love for Jabot would soon be proven. Nick blasted Victor for telling Sharon the truth about her pay. Victor told Nick to do the right thing and tell Sharon to stay at Jabot. Both men accused the other of being ruthless. Though Neil and Malcolm saved Devon from the lion at the zoo, Neil was struck down when Lily lost control of their car and hit him.
Devon: (Whispers) guys, help, help. Guys, I'm in here. Hurry. Neil: Devon? Dru: Devon! Oh, my God. Neil: Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Malcolm: Oh, no. Guard: Hey, Devon... Malcolm: No, just, shh! Guard: I'll call for help. Neil: Devon, stay calm. Malcolm: Devon, don't move. Neil: Stay calm. Malcolm: Hey, who's he calling? Who's he calling? Guard #2: The zookeeper. Malcolm: How long is it gonna take to get him here? Guard #2: I don't know. Half-hour maybe. Malcolm: No, no. 30 minutes? We don't have 30 minutes. Okay, listen to me, everybody. We gotta stay quiet. Guard #2: No, I can't let you do that. Malcolm: Listen to me. Listen to me. That's our family down there, all right? He doesn't have a chance and you know that. Do you want it on your head? Get off of me! Just keep your voices down. Shh! I need you to stay quiet, Devon. Devon, don't move. Listen to me. You're gonna be fine, all right? You just can't move. You hear me? Dru: Malcolm, be careful. Neil: Stay calm. Dru: Devon... Bobby: That is your handwriting, isn't it? Nikki: All right, yes, it is. I made the arrangements for Joshua's funeral. Bobby: You know, I don't get it. Nikki: Please don't be mad. Bobby: But why would Brittany say that she did it? Nikki: You were too upset to worry about these details. You would have gone to Cleveland and sat around for days while arrangements were being made. I wanted to help you and I just... I picked up the phone and I organized a few things. That's all. Bobby: Well, wait a minute. Did she talk to you about it? Did she ask you for some help? Nikki: Brittany doesn't have any experience in this type of thing. Look, I didn't just do it for you. I did it for your brother also. I wanted it to be nice. I wanted a minister to say some lovely things about him. I was worried-- Bobby: Okay, hold on. I understand all that. But what I don't get is why my wife would lie to me. J.T.: How can Bobby not know you're having a baby? Brittany: Because I haven't told him yet. J.T.: Brittany, he took you to the hospital. Brittany: He wasn't in the room when the doctor told me that I'm pregnant. J.T.: Wow. Well, you're gonna have to tell him sometime. Brittany: I know, and I meant to do it as soon as we got home from Cleveland, but, I-- J.T.: What? Brittany: In the car, on the way home, I kept rehearsing in my mind trying to think of the right words, but I couldn't. And then when I opened my mouth and started to say something, I felt like I was gonna be sick. J.T.: Really? Brittany: Yeah. Who knows? Maybe it was just morning sickness, only at night. [SCENE_BREAK] Kevin: Hey, Mikey, you didn't have to wait up. Michael: I'm just glad you're back. Kevin: You weren't worried, were you? Michael: A little bit. Kevin: Well, Mackenzie drove me home, like she said she would. Did I stay out too long? I didn't know I had a curfew. Michael: No. No, uh, I just knew this had to be a very long and emotional day for you, your first session with Dr. Woods and all. Kevin: Yeah. Yeah, but it was exciting, too, finally getting all that stuff off my chest. Michael: What stuff? You never really told me what went on inside that doctor's office. Kevin: Well, sure I did. She asked me a lot of questions and, um, and she listened to what I had to say, really listened. It was, uh, it was great, Mikey. And I really hope you meant everything you said about being proud of me because, believe me, I'm as surprised as anyone that I finally did this. [SCENE_BREAK] Nick: Hello, Dad. Victor: Son... what are you doing here? Nick: I figured it was time to pay you a visit. I've been wanting to ever since you took this job here. Victor: Why didn't you come by before? Nick: Because Sharon asked me not to. But when she came home today upset after her little visit with you, I realized I couldn't put this off any longer. Nick: So why'd you do it? Why'd you tell Sharon that I was paying her salary under the table? [SCENE_BREAK] Ashley: Jack heaved a chair through the window of his old office because Victor was there? Are you sure nobody was hurt? Of course you had to tell me. This is completely unacceptable. Thanks for letting me know. I knew I smelled a rat. I knew I smelled a rat. Jack: Talking to yourself, sis? Ashley: Yeah, I guess so. I thought I was by myself. Jack: You know, that is a sure sign you're under too much stress. Ashley: Well, not all of us gets to be C.E.O. of a company that basically runs itself, Jackie. Do you even go into work these days? Jack: Gee, if I didn't know better, I'd swear you were jealous. Ashley: Hmm. I had a really interesting conversation with Brad today. Jack: Oh? How is junior doing? Ashley: Good. The strangest thing happened, though. He had something nice to say about Victor. Jack: Well, that is a surprise. Ashley: Isn't it? I know. I mean, he said he had this whole attitude change, that he's coming to accept Victor's presence at Jabot, though, of course, he's not happy about it. Jack: Well, do you blame him? Ashley: Of course not. I just thought it was really interesting, especially since the change came about because of you. [SCENE_BREAK] Brittany: Who would've thunk it, huh? Of all the girls you know, I'm the one who's married and pregnant at 21. J.T.: Yeah, it's, uh, it's a trip, all right. Brittany: Yeah, not one I thought I'd be taking quite yet. J.T.: Well, that's how life is. Things happen and you gotta deal with it. How did this happen anyway? I figured you'd be on the pill or something. Brittany: I was. J.T.: Wasn't it, like, 100% effective? Brittany: I must have been too stressed with everything that's been happening. I-I guess I forgot some. J.T.: Brittany... Brittany: Yeah, yeah, you don't have to tell me how careless that was. J.T.: I don't mean to be giving you a hard time, all right? I know you're going through hell. Brittany: I really am. J.T.: Talk to me. Brittany: I'm just not sure how I feel about this. I don't think I'm ready to have a baby. I mean, I'm just learning how to be a wife. I don't know anything about being a mother. And it's not like I had a great role model. I'm so scared, J.T. J.T.: Of course you're scared. I'm sure anybody who finds out they're having a baby feels that way, especially the first time. Brittany: This is different. J.T.: Why? Because it's you? Brittany, you're gonna be fine. And I'm sure Bobby's gonna be there with you the whole way. Brittany: Yeah, right, when he's not spending time with Nikki. J.T.: Oh, come on, you said there's nothing going on there. Brittany: I-I don't think they're having an affair. But they still have that connection. Plus, she's beautiful. And she knows how to get things done in this town. She could pick up the phone and get people to do whatever she wants. J.T.: Brittany, nobody expects you to do that. Brittany: I'm not sure about that, J.T. I don't know what Bobby expects. Besides that, we don't have any money. The cabaret is not making it. And the star attraction is pregnant. We don't even know where we're gonna live. It's not like we can live at the ranch forever. Especially not with a baby. It's just all such a mess. J.T.: Come here. [SCENE_BREAK] Nikki: Brittany didn't exactly lie to you. Bobby: Yeah, well, what do you call it when my wife doesn't tell me the truth? Nikki: I asked her not to tell you, okay? She was very uncomfortable with that arrangement. She didn't want to hide anything from you, but I insisted. So if you wanna blame somebody, blame me. [SCENE_BREAK] Kevin: You know, it seems like you're upset that my therapy went so well. Michael: No. No, I'm not upset. I'm just surprised. Kevin: I bet you thought I'd come out of there a real basket case, ready for the rubber room, for real this time. Michael: No, it's just that I'm well aware of how difficult it's been for you to open up about your past to anyone, much less a complete stranger. Kevin: Well, I don't think that I'm supposed to talk about what happened in my session, Mikey, in case you're asking. Michael: No problem, little brother. Um, just know that I'm here to listen if you ever decide that you wanna talk about it. Kevin: That was one of the best things about today. Michael: What? Kevin: You, Mikey. Walking out of Dr. Woods' office and seeing you waiting there for me, you'll never know how much that meant to me. It was, uh, it was inspiring. Michael: What do you mean? Kevin: I have people who care. I have a whole new life. I'm gonna change big time. Michael: You really mean that? Kevin: Damn right. I even got you a little present, just something to say thanks for standing by me. Michael: Present. Gimme. Gimme, gimme, gimme. Kevin: It is a Wisconsin lottery ticket. Michael: Oh. You know I don't play the lottery, right? Kevin: Well, yes, yes. That's why it's so perfect, because it's something you'd never buy for yourself. I had Mac stop at a convenience store on the way home, and I wish it could've been more, but... Michael: No, no. This is very thoughtful of you. Thank you very much. Kevin: And, hey, you never know. You could hit it big time. Michael: Yeah, with all those billion-to-one odds going for me, huh? Well, who knows? Uh, which reminds me, I've been meaning to ask you. Where do things stand between you and Mackenzie? Kevin: See, now that, that's the other really great thing that happened today. See, I told, uh, I told Mac that I didn't think we should see so much of each other. Michael: Is that good? Kevin: Yeah. Yeah, because she was, like, no way. She wants to be there for me, too, every step of the way. Michael: That's great. Kevin: Yeah. She was so terrific, so terrific. You know, that's another reason to make the most out of my therapy because I know how much it means to Mac. Michael: All right, oh, um, okay, listen to me, Kevin. Uh, you need to do this therapy for yourself. It's very important that you know that. Kevin: I do know that. But I'm doing it for Mackenzie, too. It's because of her that I went to therapy. And I'm not going to forget that. Michael: Oh, what do you mean? Kevin: Well, you know, Valentine's Day is coming up. Michael: Mm-hmm. Kevin: So I thought it would be a good time for me to show Mackenzie how much I appreciate everything she's done. Kevin: It's amazing, isn't it, that it's been a whole year? Last Valentine's Day, well, Lauren and I were still together. Michael: Yeah, time flies, doesn't it? Kevin: Yeah. Hmm, you know, I think I'm gonna go for a walk. Maybe the fresh air will help inspire me, give me, you know, some kind of idea as to what I should do for Mackenzie for Valentine's Day. I won't be long. [SCENE_BREAK] Dru: Malcolm, be careful. Neil: Malcolm... Malcolm: All right, Devon, do not move, man, all right? I'm coming down. Neil: Are you sure you should do this, man? Dru: Devon... Neil: Be very still. Malcolm: Devon, don't look at him. Don't look straight at him. Dru: Malcolm... Malcolm: All right, I'm right behind you, man. I'm right behind you. Don't move, man, don't move. I'm right here. I'm right here. Easy. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Easy. Don't look at him, man. Don't look at him. Whoa, easy, easy. Okay, slowly, Devon. Dru: Malcolm... Malcolm: I need you to walk backwards, you hear me? Right back where I came from, you climb that wall. Shh. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa. Devon, you gotta go. You gotta go, man. Dru: Why won't he move? Guard #2: Come on. Dru: Devon! Malcolm: Neil, I need a little help. Neil: He's in shock. Watch out. Dru: What are you doing? Neil: Out of my way. Dru: No, stop it. Stop it, please. Lily: Slow, dad, slow. Neil: Come on, Malcolm. Lily: Dad? [SCENE_BREAK] Jack: Oh, sis, I think you give me too much credit. Ashley: Oh, no. Not if you heard the way brad was talking. He said that this change came about because of a conversation he had with you, something about, he was putting Jabot in jeopardy by not cooperating? Jack: Yeah, I may have said something like that. Ashley: Wow. I mean, it was really strange enough to hear those words come out of brad's mouth, but to find out that you planted the idea... Jack: I don't know what's so strange about it. Dad has decided he can accept the situation. Who are we to decide any differently? Ashley: So let me get this straight. You are now advocating peace in the ranks. Jack: Jabot has been through enough chaos. We all need to pull together. Ashley: Even if it's with Victor? Jack: This is not about an individual, Ash. This is about a company, a company we are all trying to stabilize. I thought you would agree. Ashley: Well, yeah, except you've never even given the slightest hint of anybody cooperating with Victor. Jack: My gosh, there is no winning with you, is there? What is going on here? I thought you would be thrilled. Ashley: Yeah, you'd think I would be, huh? Except that after talking with Brad, I had another really interesting conversation. [SCENE_BREAK] Victor: I had no idea that Sharon had not been apprised of your arrangement with Brad Carlton. Nick: Oh, come on. I know you've been discussing Sharon's job situation with Brad and Ashley and other people. Someone must've told you that she didn't know. Victor: Don't tell me "come on." It never came up. Nick: Well, then it should've been common sense then on your part. Victor: What should have been common sense is that she should have been signed to a legitimate contract and been paid legitimately. Nick: No, you told Sharon to get back at me, and the reason for that is you were upset she's leaving Jabot. Victor: You know, I may have been upset that she's leaving Jabot. But I would never do anything to interfere in your marriage to Sharon. Nick: Then why did you even say anything? Victor: It was an accident. It blurted out in the process of trying to explain to your mother and to Sharon how irresponsibly this company has been managed. That's all. No malevolent intent. It hurts what you're implying. Nick: I'm not buying it. You knew that it would make Sharon think twice about working with me. Victor: You're implying that I'm trying to hurt your relationship with Sharon. That upsets me a great deal, son. Nick: Do you think I'm the only one who sees it? The whole world knows you are ruthless. [SCENE_BREAK] Brittany: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to lose it like that. J.T.: Hey, come on, what are friends for? Brittany: You really are a great friend. I feel like I tell you that all the time. J.T.: You hear me complaining? J.T.: Brittany, you know what you have to do, right? Brittany: Talk to Bobby. J.T.: Yeah. He needs to know he's gonna be a father. Brittany: But what if-- what if he can't stand the idea? J.T.: He's gonna find out sooner or later, unless you're thinking about... Brittany: No. Of course not. I-- that's not even an option for me. J.T.: All right. So here's what you're gonna do. You're gonna walk out that door, drive yourself to the Newman ranch and sit down with Bobby, someplace that nobody can interrupt you. And you need to tell him everything you just told me, all of it. And because he's your husband and because he loves you, you guys are gonna work this out. You're gonna figure out a way to handle this together. All right? Brittany: You're right, J.T. Thank you. That's exactly what I'm gonna do. J.T.: You need to trust your husband, Brittany. [SCENE_BREAK] Bobby: Why would you make all those phone calls and plans and then tell Brittany to take credit for it? Nikki: I thought that would be the best. Bobby: Yeah, so you encouraged my wife to lie to me. Nikki: Bobby, please don't misunderstand what I'm about to say. I think that Brittany is a lovely girl. And she is doing everything she can to be the best wife to you. Bobby: But what? Nikki: But, in case you haven't noticed, she's a little insecure. Bobby: She's insecure? After all she's been through her whole life? Trust me, she's a gutsy kid. Nikki: Yes, sometimes, she is very much an adult. But other times, she's still very young and inexperienced. Bobby: Really? So it's the age difference between me and Brittany which bothers you? Nikki: No. I don't care. Look, I like her. I-I think she's very charming. I completely understand why you married her. She's got a lot of charisma. Bobby: Well, she's not like other girls her age. She's very sophisticated. Nikki: Well... maybe she comes off as sophisticated, but that's just her upbringing. Trust me, underneath, it's a whole different story. She is intimidated by a woman like me. Bobby: She's never said anything like that to me. Nikki: No, and she wouldn't, Bobby. This is something that women sense. Trust me. I just make her feel unsettled. [SCENE_BREAK] Lauren: This is quite a surprise. Michael: What? Lauren: You invite me over, I expect popcorn, a movie. And what do I get? Champagne. Michael: Don't forget the canapés. Lauren: Oh. Michael: They may have come out of the freezer, but, um, I put them in this rectangular space that heats up. It's called an oven. Lauren: Really? Michael: Mm-hmm. Lauren: Oh, very nice, very nice. Michael: Here, smarty. Lauren: Okay, I'll take a bite. Michael: Oh, yeah? Delicious? Good, right? Lauren: Oh, yeah, very good. Michael: Mmm. Lauren: I'm very impressed by you, do you know that? Michael: Oh, yeah. Lauren: I'm just wondering... mmm. What's the occasion? Michael: Oh, oh, actually, it's in honor of my brother. Lauren: Kevin? Michael: Mm-hmm. Lauren: Has he done something newsworthy? Michael: Newsworthy? No. Um, he just started his first day of therapy, that's all. Lauren: Are you kidding? Michael: Mnh-mnh. Lauren: Michael, we've been trying for how many months to get him to go? Michael: Too many to count. Look, here is to my brother Kevin's mental health. Lauren: Oh, I will definitely drink to that. So... tell me, how'd you pull it off? How'd you do it? Michael: I didn't. It was Mackenzie Browning. Lauren: Really? Michael: Mm-hmm. Lauren: Hmm. I thought that they were still at the flirting stage. Michael: Well, they've gone beyond that. It's more than just a flirtation, at least, uh, where Kevin is concerned. [SCENE_BREAK] J.T.: Hey. Mac: Hi. J.T.: I tried calling you earlier, but you didn't answer your cell phone. Mac: It was turned off for awhile. I haven't checked messages yet. J.T.: I thought maybe you saw my name on the caller I.D. and didn't want to talk to me. Mac: I'm not mad at you. J.T.: Well, you sure were earlier when you took off. Mac: That's because I didn't want to believe what you told me about Kevin. J.T.: But now you do? Oh, you talked to him, didn't you? God, Mac. Mac: Look, I don't think Kevin Fisher is a subject that we will ever be able to discuss calmly. So I'm glad you said what you did, but let's just leave it at that, okay? J.T.: I suppose he's still denying it. Mac: J.T., Don't. I cannot take that right now, okay? J.T.: Fine. Fine. Whatever. Mac: How was your day? J.T.: Pretty bad, actually. Mac: Why, what happened? J.T.: Colleen. She's leaving town again. [SCENE_BREAK] Lily: Dad, here. Malcolm: Neil, Neil, Neil, slow, slow, slow. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, hey, right here, right here, right here. Devon, you gotta go, man. Move. Neil: (Whispers) let's go. Dru: Go slow. Go slow. Devon. Malcolm: Easy, easy. Neil: Come on, son. Go, get outta here. Dru: Come on, come on. Malcolm: Slow, slow. Easy. Right here. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Dru: Let's do it. Malcolm: Right here, right here, right here. Dru: There. Come on. Lily: Dad. Dad. Malcolm: Neil. Neil: Yeah. Malcolm: I've got it. Go up. I'm right behind you. Go. Dru: Come on, Neil. Malcolm: Okay. Easy, easy. Hey, hey, hey. Dru: Help him. Help him. Help him. Come on. Malcolm: Okay. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Neil: Okay. Dru: Neil. Dru: Come on, come on. Come on. Hurry. Hurry. Neil: Okay, come on. Let's go. Neil: Come on. Okay. Dru: Aah! Ohh! Neil: Okay. Malcolm: He came on me. He came up after us. Neil: Oh, Lord. [SCENE_BREAK] Mac: So how long is Colleen gonna be in Europe? J.T.: I don't know. Probably a few months, I guess. Mac: What about after that? J.T.: I'm not sure. She'll probably go back to New York, go to N.Y.U. in the fall. Mac: So does this mean that you guys broke up or... J.T.: That's how it seems to me. Mac: Man. I leave the apartment for a couple of hours, and the whole world changes. J.T.: You have no idea. Mac: What? J.T.: Nothing. It's just been a really crazy day, all right? Mac: Are you pretty bummed? Uh, I'll be fine. Mac: That's not what I asked. I know how hard it was for you the last time you guys broke up. J.T.: Yeah, but this time it was different. It wasn't as serious. Mac: You were hoping it was gonna be though. [SCENE_BREAK] Lauren: You sound concerned. Michael: You know how Kevin gets when he likes a woman. Lauren: Yeah. But at least Mac's his own age. Michael: Yeah. Yeah, you're right. In fact, he's lucky to have a friend like her in his corner. Oh, which reminds me, he bought me a gift. Lauren: A gift? Michael: Mm-hmm, to thank me for all of my support. Lauren: That's so sweet. Michael: See for yourself. Lauren: What is it? What? (Laughs) a lottery ticket? Michael: He really does have this creative flair, doesn't he, when it comes to gift-giving? Lauren: Yes, he does. And you know, it's very touching. Here's this kid with no money, all he wants to do is give you something. Michael: As many problems as he has, he really, deep down, has a very good heart. Lauren: Something's bothering you. Is it the therapy? Michael: I forget you can read my mind. Lauren: Hmm, I wouldn't go that far, but I certainly know when something's weighing on you. Michael: I just have this odd feeling. Lauren: About what? Michael: Kevin's attitude. Lauren: Can you give me some more specifics? Michael: Uh, I-I don't know. I guess I was just... I was expecting a different reaction. Lauren: Different in what way? Michael: (Sighs) well, considering the dreadful childhood he had, all the abuse that he suffered, not to mention the horror story that's been going on for the last year or so, caused by his own bad choices, you'd just think he'd be the least little bit down. Lauren: So you want him sober and introspective? Michael: Well, it-- it couldn't have been easy telling all that bad history to a woman he just met, I mean, even if she is a psychiatrist. The Kevin I spoke to just seemed a little too... too upbeat, too--too together. It's as if he had just come from having his teeth cleaned. Lauren: And this makes you nervous? Michael: Well, don't you think it should? Lauren: Let's stop talking about your brother. Michael: Mm-hmm. Lauren: Okay? [SCENE_BREAK] J.T.: It was--it was good seeing Colleen again. Mac: Do you think you two will stay in touch? J.T.: We said we would. I hope we do. Mac: Well, if you ever wanna talk, about Colleen or anything... J.T.: I know where to find you. (Chuckles) Mac: Look, I don't want you to feel like you're alone, J.T. and I know this is gonna be a rough time for you, so if there is anything I can do, just let me know, okay? J.T.: You got it. Mac: So I guess this means that you don't have any plans for Valentine's Day. J.T.: Oh, God. Valentine's Day. Uh, it's comin' up, isn't it? Mac: Its next week. J.T.: Wow, yeah. Well, um, I guess that means I don't have any plans. Mac: So let's do something together. J.T.: Yeah? Mac: Yeah, just the two of us. Somethin' special. J.T.: Yeah, sounds like fun. Mac: Great. [SCENE_BREAK] Ashley: I understand that you had it out with Victor today. Jack: Well, word does travel fast. Ashley: Especially when you punctuate whatever it is you said by throwing furniture out the window. Jack: Oh, you heard about that, did you? Ashley: Of course I heard about it, Jack. You didn't think I'd hear about it? You can't do things like that. You could've killed somebody. Although why I have to explain to you what a child knows-- Jack: You didn't tell me Victor was planning on taking over the C.E.O.'s office, my office. Ashley: You don't work there anymore, Jack. Jack: He's a consultant, Ash. You're sending the wrong message. Ashley: And what you did sends the right message? Did you ever think of the repercussions if somebody had been hit by that chair from 12 stories up, not to mention the glass? Jack: Somebody has got to tell this man he is not running the show at Jabot. It is still our company. Ashley: What does that have to do with anything? Jack: He may have succeeded in running me out of the family business. I was not gonna let him run me outta the building. Ashley: And why would he want to do that? Jack: You ask him. He was on the phone with security trying to bar me from the premises. Ashley: Oh. Tell me again how you're promoting peace in the ranks. I'd love to hear that again. Jack: There are some things even a peacemaker can't pull off. Ashley: Oh, "even a peacemaker can't pull off." What you did goes beyond what anybody would call acceptable behavior. It's exactly the opposite of what you told Brad to do. Isn't that ironic? Jack: I did not tell Brad to lay down and let Victor walk all over him. I said allow the man to do his work so he can save Jabot. There is a difference. Ashley: Yeah, there is. You need to take your own advice, if you even believe in it to begin with. Jack: And what does that mean? Ashley: I don't buy for one second that you're trying to advocate some kind of stability at Jabot. Although, you oughta be, because even though you're the C.E.O. of another company, Jabot's a family business. You don't give a damn about that, though, Jack. If you did, you wouldn't be here posing as a peacemaker when you are anything but that. Jack: Oh, I care about Jabot, Ash. I care more than you know. Though someday soon, you may find out. [SCENE_BREAK] Dru: Oh, God. Neil: Now you realize just how dangerous that was, right? Devon: I'm in a lot of trouble, aren't I? Dru: Never mind that. What matters is that we're all safe. Now let's go home. Neil: Amen to that. You know, what happened in there, it coulda been a real tragedy. Devon: Malcolm... and, Neil, thank you, guys, for rescuing me back there. I was real stupid tonight. Neil: You were really incredible back there. Lily: I know. I can't believe the way you controlled that lion. Malcolm: Hey, guys, trust me, I wasn't controlling him. I just distracted him. I'm just glad you're all right, Devon. Dru: Yeah. Neil: Maybe sometime you could teach me how you, you know, kinda stared at that lion, lookin' all... Malcolm: Okay, man, let me tell you something. Stick with what you know. What do you think you're gonna do, fight predators for a living? Neil: I do work at Newman Enterprises. Malcolm: Ooh, I been tryin' to get you to talk like that for years. Lily: Hey, you guys, how about I get the car and come back to get you all? Neil: All right, honey. Listen, why don't you take Devon with you? Lily: Okay. Come on. Neil: And be careful... Lily: I know. Neil: The roads are icy. Wow. Malcolm: Yeah, wow. Seriously, thank you. You helped me out back there. I appreciate it. Neil: Oh, no. I should be the one thankin' you. You just saved our foster son. Dru: Neil's right, Malcolm. You didn't have to risk your life for Devon, but you did it anyway. And we'll always be grateful to you for that. Always. [SCENE_BREAK] Victor: I understand why you want Sharon at Newman Enterprises. Can't you wait until I'm through restructuring this company? Nick: How long is that gonna take? Victor: I don't know, half a year, a year. Nick: (Chortles) you're kidding, right? Victor: No, I'm not kidding, son. She's the spokesperson for this company. She has been identified with its products. Nick: Well, I guess that's too bad, because she already gave her notice. Victor: She wouldn't leave if you weren't pressuring her, isn't that right? Victor: I'm very upset to see you deal with Jabot this way, son. Nick: Could you be more hypocritical? Victor: Let me get this straight. You criticized me for being ruthless and insensitive, yet you feel free to go to Jabot, asking them for a job for Sharon. They give it to you out of humanitarian considerations. You have no hesitation to turn around and stab them in the back when you no longer need their help, and you call me ruthless? Nick: I guess I'm just a chip off the old block, huh? Victor: When I ask for help for my family, I don't turn around and stab those in the back that have given me that help. That's not very smart. Victor: Now you go back to Sharon, and you tell her that she'll be working at Jabot until I'm finished restructuring this company. [SCENE_BREAK] Nikki: Bobby, time was of the essence. You were leaving for Cleveland and it was obvious that Brittany was out of her depth. I just did what I knew had to be done. But I also knew that if I steamrolled in and took over, that would cause a lot of friction and that was the last thing you needed. Bobby: So you did this for me and for my marriage? Nikki: Promise me that you won't tell Brittany. She would be so upset if she knew that you knew. Bobby: You know, I've said this before and I'm gonna say it again. You're really something else, Nikki. Thank you. [SCENE_BREAK] Neil: All right, man. So are you gonna show me that, uh, lion move or what? Malcolm: Oh, shut up, man. Neil: Like that. Malcolm: No, now see, that right there--that right there is embarrassing. That's karate. That's karate. Neil: Come on, man. Malcolm: Why you tryin' to fight a lion? You can't even fight your own brother. Neil: Oh, see now-- Malcolm: Oh, yes, I did. Oh, yes, I did. What? Neil: I hear you now. Malcolm: Do somethin' about it. Neil: Come on back. Devon: Lily! Lily: Devon, I can't stop! Neil: Lily! Malcolm: What? What? (Brakes screech) Lily: Ohh! Dru: Aah! Neil! Neil! Help! [NEXT_ON] Mac: I got Kevin to face his demons. Now it's your turn. Brittany: You wanna know the real reason I passed out at the cemetery? Bobby: Honey, are you sick? Dru: I can't lose my best friend. He's my best friend. I can't lose my husband.
