Nick and Phyllis talk about the new baby and share memories of when Summer was born. Sharon and Victor are at Gloworm. When she sees Jack, baby John and Victoria, she persuades Victor that he shouldn't punish an innocent baby because he loathes Billy. Victor goes to Victoria's table and can't help but smile when he sees how happy the baby makes Victoria. Chelsea arrives at Gloworm with Adam and goes to see the baby. While Victoria is changing the baby in the bathroom, Victor tells Chelsea she doesn't have the right to bother Victoria. Adam thanks Sharon for the birthday card while she tries to hide her jealousy about seeing him with Chelsea. Adam and Chelsea go back to the Athletic Club where she lets out her anger about how Victor treated her; then she and Adam make love. Once they're finished, Victor calls and offers Chelsea ten million dollars to leave town. She tells Victor she will think about it and asks Adam what to do. He says if he had the money, he would turn it into one hundred million. Billy tries to warn Kyle not to take the job with Victor, but he doesn't listen and tells Billy he just wants to have fun. When Victoria asks Sharon if she wants to have a relationship with Victor, she feels insulted by Victoria who didn't even say thank you, because she persuaded Victor to connect with baby John. Victoria later tells Nick that she is worried that Sharon will try and become Mrs. Victor Newman again, just because she feels hurt that he and Adam have moved on with their lives. Nick doesn't believe that Victor would ever cross that line. Sharon is upset when Phyllis confirms her suspicion that she is pregnant with Nick's baby. Sharon hides her feelings from Phyllis and congratulates her. Then she heads to Victor's office and tells him she feels like he is the only one who listens to her and respects her opinion, then she gives him a passionate kiss. Jack goes to Crimson Lights and plays darts with Kyle who tells him that one game of darts won't change their relationship. Billy later tells Jack that Kyle has taken a job with Victor. Jack thinks Kyle will have to see for himself how ruthless Victor can be.
(Glasses clink) Sharon: Mm. I'm glad we did this. Victor: Thank you for inviting me. Sharon: Well, I wanted you to see with your own eyes that I've pulled it together since, um, yesterday. Victor: What was that all about? Sharon: Oh... (Sighs) It was a lot of little things. It was Adam's birthday. Victor: I thought it might have to do with that. Sharon: Yeah, so I was already a little bit emotional when I found out Nick and Phyllis are engaged. Victor: Are you serious? [SCENE_BREAK] Nick: So let me make sure I'm getting this right-- I can't treat you like a baby and I can't call you "Baby girl" anymore... Phyllis: Mnh-mnh. Nick: But if you and your friends want to have a baby-themed slumber party, then that's cool. Phyllis: Mm-hmm, yeah. Summer: Mm-hmm. Phyllis: Yeah, that's cool, because it's ironic, you know, so... Nick: Got it. Phyllis: Oh, oh, you know what? Why don't you take your rattle? Where is that? Take that. (Laughs) Nick: Oh, yeah. Phyllis: (Gasps) Ohh, Tedders. Nick: Tedders! Tedders? Phyllis: Oh, my goodness. You don't remember Tedders? Ohh, oh. Let me tell you something about him is--you loved him first. You loved him before Mr. Ears. You used to take him everywhere--vacations, the beach. You know what? You take him and the rattle. You owe it to him. Summer: You guys could have another baby. Then he'd have someone new to play with. Nick: You know, that's a-- that's an interesting idea, and we're gonna take it under advisement. [SCENE_BREAK] Billy: (Humming) All right. Welcome home. (Glasses clink) Kyle: Thank you. Oh, you never should have sold this place. You know that, right? Billy: Yeah, well, it didn't really fit my newfound maturity. Kyle: (Laughs) Yeah. Billy: Hey, but I still have the trailer, so if it gets a little cramped under Jack's watchful eye-- Kyle: Oh, I'm not staying at my dad's. Billy: No? All right, "Big-time." You got your own place already? Kyle: No, I'm, uh, I'm crashing at Victor's. Yeah, he gave me my own wing. It's pretty sweet. [SCENE_BREAK] Adam: Yeah, well, I figured if I wanted to get in on the FacePlace I.P.O., you would be the one to call. No, no, this would, uh, this would be with my own money. Yeah. No, the hedge fund got shut down. No, it's not the S.E.C. directly. The principal investor got spooked, and the investigation went nowhere. What are you gonna do? (Knock on door) Adam: Yeah, you got my number. Give me a call. Chelsea: Hi. Hungry? Adam: What do you want to do--room service, eat downstairs? Chelsea: God, no. Get me outside of these walls, please. (Chuckles) Yay! Adam: Let's do it. [SCENE_BREAK] Nick: Bye, Baby girl. Phyllis: Wait, oh, you said you weren't gonna call her that anymore. Nick: Oh. Phyllis: Bye, pretty! (Laughs) Nick: Oh, yeah. Phyllis: Sweet. I can't believe this is happening. It's so crazy, after all those years I was told I couldn't get pregnant... first Summer, and now another baby. I mean, that's insane. Nick: (Chuckles) It's awesome. Phyllis: (Giggles) Oh, it's a gift, is what it is. It's a gift. I'm happy. Especially now, when I miss Lucy so much. But we're gonna keep this baby safe, right? Nick: Yes, we will. [SCENE_BREAK] Billy: Oh, yeah, I get it. It's tempting... (Clears throat) The ranch. Yeah, has it all over the trailer. Kyle: Oh, yeah. Billy: But you have to put up with Victor. Kyle: I like Victor. Billy: Of course you like Victor. He's very likable when he's reeling you in. Kyle: (Scoffs) Billy: I mean, he was even nice to me when I first got here and he was with Ashley. What did he say? He said... (Imitating Victor) "You're a bright young man. There's a place for you within our organization. You got that?" Kyle: (Laughs) Billy: (Normal voice) That's him, right? Kyle: Yeah, but you didn't go for it. Billy: No, I didn't go for it, and I'm extremely grateful for that, because anybody who ends up trusting or relying on Victor ends up regretting it in a very big way, okay? I'm sure your father told you about all the crap he's pulled. Kyle: Yeah, well, Dad's pulled some crap of his own. Billy: Yeah, nothing like Victor. Kyle: But he could-- come on, can we just-- just 'cause the guy's given me a job and a place to live-- Billy: Oh, whoa, hold on. I'm sorry, back up. A job? You're working for him now? Oh, son. (Laughs) You are in some serious trouble. Kyle: (Scoffs) Billy: Trust me. [SCENE_BREAK] Victor: Thank you. Where did you hear that Nicholas and Phyllis were getting married? Sharon: Nick told me. He said they were getting ready to tell the kids, and they thought I should be prepared. Victor: Why would they be in such a rush? Unless, of course, Phyllis is pregnant. Sharon: She could be. You want to go over and say hello? Victor: No. Mnh-mnh. Sharon: You know, I realize that things are tense with Jack and you... Victor: Mm-hmm. Sharon: But you shouldn't let that interfere with your relationship with your grandson. Victor: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. That's not my grandson. That's Billy Abbott's bastard son. Ain't got nothing to do with me. Jack: So what do you think's going on over there? Victoria: I don't know. Business dinner? Jack: Does it look to you like they're discussing business? Victoria: (Sighs) Well, maybe he's consoling her. Nick told me that he broke the news to her, that he's remarrying Phyllis. Jack: Well, better she turn to Victor than Adam, I guess. Not a whole lot better. Victor: Thank you. Sharon: It's sad to hear you say that about Johnny. You were so great with Cassie. Victor: But that's different. Sharon: Well, Cassie wasn't your biological grandchild. Victor: But Cassie was your child. Sharon: Nick welcomed her into the family and loved her like she was his own... Victor: Mm-hmm. Sharon: Just like Victoria is doing with John. He's a Newman now, Victor, like it or not. I just think, whatever your feelings are about Billy, you shouldn't punish an innocent child. Victor: But who says that I'm punishing him? Sharon: How are you gonna handle it at family gatherings? Are you gonna be warm and sweet with Reed and Faith and Summer, but not this little one? You couldn't do that. Victor: Hmm. Sharon: I just think that you and John would both be missing out if you didn't let yourself get close to him. Victor: Excuse me for a moment. Jack: Yeah. Victoria: (Quietly) Please stop looking at me like that. (Gasps) John: (Grunting) Victoria: (Normal voice) Hi. Victor: I thought I might... get to know the little boy. John: (Grunts) Jack: What a good idea, your getting to know little John. Just think, one day, you can tell him bedtime stories about how you used him to come between his mother and father. Victoria: Jack. Victor: It's nice to see you, Jack. Jack: Excuse me, I'm gonna make a phone call. Victoria: Uh... why don't you sit down? John: (Grunting) Victoria: What? Victor: He's a big boy, isn't he? Victoria: Yeah, he's-- he's big. He's perfectly healthy, thank God. Victor: And legally yours now. Victoria: Yep. Yeah, he's officially my son. He's your grandson. John: (Grunts) Victoria: Who--who could resist this face, huh? Who could resist it? He's so beautiful. Yes, you are. John: (Grunts) Victoria: (Laughs) Adam: We can go somewhere else if you want to. Chelsea: No, no. I don't have to hide from them. Plus, I-I-I want to see how John's doing. Adam: Yeah, don't you think maybe you should do a scheduled visit rather than just popping in? That could cause some trouble. Chelsea: Just get us a table, please? Adam: All right. Adam: Hey, Sharon. I wanted to, um, thank you for the card that you got me for my birthday. Sharon: It was nothing. Adam: Well, it was something. It was very nice. I appreciate it that you even remembered at all. Chelsea: Hey, Squid. John: (Grunts) Chelsea: You recognize my voice? Ohh! Did you see that? I think he does. Uh, I'm sorry to interrupt. Victoria: No, it's fine. My food's coming soon and I need to get him changed before then, so... excuse me. Victor: All right. Victor: Excuse me. What do you think you're doing? Chelsea: I was just checking in on my son. Victor: He is no longer your son. You gave up the rights to him. Chelsea: With the understanding that I would stay a part of his life. Victor: That does not give you the right to bother my daughter anytime you feel like it. Chelsea: What is it to you? It's none of your business. Victor: As of now, it is. Adam: Look... (Sighs) Let me apologize for the uncomfortable situation you had to walk in on. Sharon: No, no. Look, you're-- you're living your life, I'm living mine. You know, I hope you didn't read too much into the card, because there was no hidden message in there or anything. It was just "Happy Birthday." That's all. Adam: Okay. Victor: I think your date is waiting for you, Adam. Adam: Well, you two have a lovely evening. Chelsea: (Sighs) I thought you were gonna get us a table. Adam: You don't really want to stick around this place, do you? Chelsea: No. Adam: No. Let's go. [SCENE_BREAK] Billy: Yeah, you need to handle this right now. It's getting out of hand. Okay, good. Bye. Kyle: Another round? Billy: No, man. You know, it's time for me to get going. Kyle: Aw, is your curfew that early? Billy: (Laughs sarcastically) That's cute. You are gonna think about what I said, right? About Victor? Kyle: Yeah, yeah, of course. Billy: You know, I bet you learned a lot these past few years on your own, but you don't know how to handle a guy like Victor Newman. A lot of smart guys thought they did, and they ended up chew toys, so just-- Kyle: I love you for caring, Billy, really, I do, but you're being kind of a downer, and I'm here to have fun, and she just walked in the door. (Door closes) Kyle: Excuse me. Billy: (Chuckles) Oh, the good ol' days. Billy: (Clicks lips) No, I did not dial the wrong number. You and I are gonna have a conversation. [SCENE_BREAK] Nick: That is adorable. Phyllis: Yeah. Does it not take you back in time? [Nick remember] Jack: Say hello to your baby girl. Nick: Thank you. [SCENE_BREAK] Phyllis: I'm not the only one emotional. (Giggles) Nick: I'm just, you know, I'm trying to figure out why everybody feels the need to use a scrapbook when a box works just fine. Phyllis: Yeah. Yeah, well, I don't really think you can put this in a scrapbook. (Gasps) Ohh. Ohh. Nick: (Chuckles) [Phyllis remembering] Phyllis: Ohh. I, uh, never took you for the arts and crafts type. Nick: A very complicated arts and crafts type. Phyllis: Mm. Nick: I am making a mobile for our daughter's crib. Phyllis: Sweet. [SCENE_BREAK] Nick: (Chuckles) I-I don't know what I did to deserve all this. Phyllis: Mm, I do. You're hot. (Chuckles) Nick: I'm hot. Phyllis: (Laughs) Nick: (Laughs) So that's all I have going for me? Phyllis: Um... Nick: Hmm. Phyllis: I'm also in love with you. Nick: Like, how much? Phyllis: (Laughs) Nick: Like, uh, like--like--like that? Phyllis: Like... Nick: More--eh... Phyllis: Uh, like, that much. Nick: That much love. Phyllis: Yeah. Uh, that's good. Nick: (Makes sizzling sound) I got that much love. Phyllis: (Laughs) Nick: It's gonna be so good this time. Phyllis: Yeah, it's gonna be great. I'm not worried. Nick: Good. Phyllis: I'm not worried at all. Nick: Good. Whoa. Is that your stomach growling? Phyllis: Yeah. Well, I'm hungry. That happens when you're pregnant. Nick: Well, then let's, uh, let's go. Come on. Phyllis: Okay. (Chuckles) Nick: Let's take care of you. You know what? I'm gonna take care of you, too. [SCENE_BREAK] Victor: If you don't mind, I've got to get back to the office. Want my driver to take you? Sharon: Yes, have him come back for me after he's dropped you off. Victor: Well, I'll do that. Sharon: (Laughs) Victor: Thank you for inviting me. Sharon: It was my pleasure. Victor: Okay. Victor: Where's Jack? Victoria: Um... something came up. Victor: Don't give your mommy a hard time, okay? Victoria: (Chuckles) Victor: Bye. Victoria: Bye. Victoria: That was your grandpa. Thanks, by the way, for not spitting up on him, because he kind of has a tendency to hold a grudge sometimes. Sharon: Hi, Victoria. Mind if I take a quick peek? Victoria: No, go ahead. Sharon: Ohh. (Chuckles) Aren't you the cutest little man? Victoria: (Chuckles) So what's the deal with you and my dad? [SCENE_BREAK] Chelsea: I mean, what the--ohh! I'm the big, terrible threat to Billy and Victoria? I gave them my child! Victor is the one who wanted me to break them up, and now he's just perfectly welcome in their lives-- and John's life-- and he wants me to be the fall guy. I don't think so! Adam: This town is filled with a bunch of Victor sycophants. If you're gonna stay in Genoa City, you're gonna have to learn to live with it, Chelsea. Chelsea: And what do you do, hmm? What, you just take it? [SCENE_BREAK] Kyle: Ladies... ladies, take pity on me, please. Do you see this? Watch this. Hard evidence of a tragically misspent youth. All right, who wants to take me on? Okay, why don't I make it a little more interesting? If I lose, I buy the entire house a round. What, no takers? I mean-- Jack: I'm in. I have a misspent youth of my own. Let's see if the old man's still got it. [SCENE_BREAK] Billy: Thought you might have punked out. Victor: (Sighs) What do you want? Billy: Well, you said on the phone that you would like to rearrange my face. If that's still the case, go right on ahead, bring it on, but why don't you back off my nephew? Victor: Could have saved yourself a trip, Billy Boy. Wherever your nephew Kyle wants to stay is his business, not yours. Get it? [SCENE_BREAK] Sharon: I don't really know what you're asking me. Victoria: Well, you know, it just sort of seemed like a really intimate conversation that you and Dad were having. Sharon: No more than usual. Victoria: I understand if you're at loose ends. I mean, Adam is moving on and Nick is engaged, so, you know, it wouldn't be unusual for you to latch on to the first available man-- or unavailable, as the case may be. Sharon: Oh, my God. Victoria: I just sort of wish, you know, that for a change, you would choose a man from some other family. Sharon: You know what we were talking about, Victoria? You and the baby, and I was encouraging him to come over here and make a connection with you, which-- he listened and he did, so I think what you meant to say to me was "Thank you." Phyllis: Oh. Do you want to come over? (Clears throat) Hi, Sharon. You--you look good. How are things? Sharon: Oh, I'm fine. I'm... I guess I don't have to ask how you're doing. Phyllis: Yeah, does it show? (Chuckles) Sharon: Congratulations. Nick: Thank you. Phyllis: Thank you. That's--that's-- that's very sweet of you. Sharon: Yeah, uh, enjoy your dinner. [SCENE_BREAK] Billy: I get it, man. Victoria's out of your life. Nick and Abby-- they put up with you to keep the peace, but they see right through you. You need somebody new to kick around, so enter Kyle, and the fact that he's Jack's son--well, you must just be loving that. Victor: You know who doesn't love that he's Jack's son? Jack's son. Billy: (Clears throat) Victor: This time, he wishes he belonged to any family but yours. Billy: (Chuckles) He's still mourning his mom's death, how it happened. Jack had nothing to do with that. (Scoffs) I mean, you're gonna take this kid's grief and you're gonna twist it up into a weapon? Victor: For your information, he came asking for a place to stay. He came to me, all right? Billy: This is not gonna happen again. Nobody else from my family is gonna get caught in the cross fire between you and Jack or you and me. Colleen died. Delia almost died. I mean, what else has to happen for you to learn your lesson? Victor: For me to learn my lesson? That out of the mouth of some drunk, oversexed adolescent that you have always been and always will be. Billy: Well, yeah, in your mind. Victor: In my mind, son? The reality is the baby that you brought into the world irresponsibly. My daughter deserves better than you. Billy: You know what? You're right. You are, but she doesn't see it that way. Matter of fact, she's got a problem with you. You're the one who can't admit that he was wrong. Victor: Let me tell you something, Billy Boy. One day... very soon, my daughter will see you for who you really are. [SCENE_BREAK] Jack: Hello! (Laughs) Man: (Laughs) Dude, I think you been had. Guy just wore a suit to throw you off. Jack: No, I actually am a suit. Haven't always been, though. There was a time I was very much like your friend here-- outgoing, competitive, maybe a little too cocky for his own good. Kyle: It's only too cocky if you can't back it up. Anyways, you forgot "Good- looking," "Charismatic," and "Really, really good at this game." Jack: Well, I thought that went without saying. Kyle: But beyond that, really, uh, the similarities pretty much stop there, unless you're saying that you, once upon a time, had the loyalty and the decency you're so obviously lacking now. (Dart hits dartboard) Jack: Kyle, listen. Kyle: All right, you know what? I'm really not interested in having this little beer summit. Jack: All right, l-look, we can work through this if you'll just give us a chance. Kyle: No, certain things, you just can't talk yourself out of, no matter how smooth you are. [SCENE_BREAK] Billy: Come on. This animosity has taken on a life of its own. Do you even remember how it started, or is it just the name "Abbott" that you hate so much? Victor: The name "Abbott" came from your father, John Abbott, who I happened to respect a lot. You're not anything like your father. Billy: (Sighs) Victor: You have no dignity, no self-respect, no discipline, a very short attention span. You just create trouble in order to entertain yourself, just like you did with Lucy. Billy: There is nothing entertaining about what we went through. Victor: What do you mean, "We"? Your wife, my daughter, was sitting at home, pining away for you useless son of a gun, while you went off into some far corner of the world, engaging n some debauchery. Billy: Played right into your hands, didn't I? Victor: That's right-- I sent Chelsea your way, see if you would resist the temptation. But you didn't. Of course, you didn't, Billy. You can't do that, can you? Then you try to deflect responsibility, just like you did with Delia-- passing her off as another man's child. Billy: You can sit there and say whatever you like about me, but you know for a fact that I love my daughter. Victor: If you love your daughter, tonight when you go home, you step in front of a mirror, look at yourself, long and hard, and say "I hope to God, I pray to the angels to protect my daughter, so that no man like me will ever cross her path." (Door opens) Billy: Oh, Kyle, please tell me you came here to turn down this job offer. (Groans) Kyle, Kyle, Kyle. Kyle: (Sighs) Billy: You don't want to be a part of this scene, trust me. You want a job, I'll get you a job. I'll get you a better job. You don't want to stay at the trailer, you don't have to stay at the trailer. We can go to the club or something, okay? Come with me. Kyle: I think I'm just gonna stick with the plan for now. Billy: You're gonna stick with the plan? You know what? You're right, you're an adult. You're a big boy. You want to make your bed, then go lie in it. (Door opens) Kyle: (Scoffs) (Door closes) Kyle: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cause you any headaches. Victor: That's all right, Kyle. You're not causing me any headaches. Just for future reference, don't pay too much attention to your Uncle Billy, okay? You're welcome to stay at my ranch anytime for as long as you want, all right? [SCENE_BREAK] Victoria: Uh, yeah, the service has kind of been slow here tonight. Phyllis: Uh, you know what? I'll--I'll get some drinks. Nick: Okay. (Sighs) Victoria: Oh, thank you. So... Dad was here earlier having dinner with Sharon. Nick: Oh, yeah? Victoria: Yeah. Yeah, something about it made me really uncomfortable. Nick: What do you mean? Victoria: I don't know. Maybe... being Mrs. Victor Newman, even if it was for a nanosecond and only a name, maybe gave her some crazy ideas. Nick: Okay. Victoria: I-I-I-I asked her about it. She denied it. Nick: Wait, just-- okay, are you saying you asked Sharon if she was putting the moves on Dad? Victoria: Nick, you didn't see them together. Nick: I know Dad's been acting erratic lately, but that, no. There certain lines that don't get crossed. Victoria: (Sighs) Mm. Sharon: (Clears throat) So have you guys set a date? Phyllis: Uh, no, not yet. Hi, can I have a seven and seven and a ginger ale, please? Sharon: Phyllis, are you... pregnant? Phyllis: Well, why do you ask that? Because I ordered a soda? Sharon: Yeah, that, and because you got engaged in such a hurry. Phyllis: Um, we actually found out I was pregnant after we got engaged. Sharon: Oh... (Laughs) I see. Phyllis: Yeah, I'm glad you know, 'cause it will preclude you from making a last-ditch play for Nick. Sharon: That never crossed my mind. But I am glad you told me about the baby, though, because it explains so much. Phyllis: Thank you very much. Um, you know, it's funny how things have changed, because a conversation like this before would have made me all... Sharon: Oh, I know. Now you're over it? Phyllis: No, Nick's over you. That's why I was able to accept his proposal without hesitation. You don't have a hold on him anymore. In fact, I think everybody is pretty much past caring what you do, finally. [SCENE_BREAK] (Potato chip bag crinkles) Chelsea: (Chuckles) Chelsea: (Crunching potato chips) Adam: You okay? Chelsea: Does it look like there's a problem? (Cell phone rings) Chelsea: That's mine. (Ring) Chelsea: (Chuckles) (Ring) Chelsea: It's your dad. [SCENE_BREAK] Phyllis: (Clears throat) Nick: All right, so I'm guessing we cannot have the fried calamari. Phyllis: Mm, yeah. Uh, you know what? We--we should go, because I'm--I'm spotting. [SCENE_BREAK] Jack: Well, thanks for telling me where to find Kyle. I'm afraid it didn't go so well. He just won't hear it. Billy: Yeah, same with me. (Sighs) He showed up to Victor's office while I was there. I tried to talk him out of taking that job, but... Jack: Wait, he's working for Victor, too? Billy: Yeah. Sorry, I... (Clears throat) Thought you knew. I figured he'd have rubbed it in your face by now. Kyle: Well, I guess Kyle's gonna have to find out for himself what "The Black Knight" is really about. Victoria: Well, you know, hopefully, you two can get through to him before he gets in too deep. Jack: In the meantime, you might want to keep an eye on your own son. Billy: Come on. Victor's not getting anywhere near my kid. Victoria: Um, actually, he sort of stopped by the table tonight, you know, just for a little visit. Billy: (Chuckles) What, is he recruiting a whole army of Abbotts? Victoria: Oh, come on. He's not gonna corrupt an infant. He was actually kind of sweet with him. Billy: Honey, you and I need to discuss boundaries. There's no way in hell that jackass is gonna have anything to do with my kid's life. [SCENE_BREAK] Victor: Chelsea, I think it's time you left Genoa City, all right? Chelsea: I'm kind of starting to like it here. Victor: Oh, I think you'll like a lot of other places, especially when you find out the kind of money I'm about to give you. Chelsea: What kind of money are we talking bout here? Victor: $10 million. Chelsea: (Sighs) Uh, well, I'm--I'm gonna need to think about that. Victor: You do that. I'll get back to you, okay? Chelsea: (Sighs) He wants to pay me off to leave town. $10 million. Adam: Wow. Chelsea: (Exhales quickly) I mean, I'd have to be an idiot to turn that down, right? I mean, what would you do with $10 million? Adam: Turn it into $100 million. [SCENE_BREAK] Victor: Sharon. I thought you were headed home. Sharon: (Sighs) I was. But I needed to see you. Victor: Okay. Sharon: (Sighs) You are one of the few people in this town who don't see me as weak or pathetic. Victor: Of course not. Sharon: You listen to me. You--you--you take me seriously. You--you understand me. Victor: Yes. What is this about? Sharon: Well, I just-- I wanted you to know how much I appreciate that. [NEXT_ON] Neil: I don't want you to go. Nikki: Am I interrupting something? Jack: Gen and Tuck-- no, you--are you sure? Ashley: I'm positive. Obviously, they just didn't think it was worth mentioning.
