Scene 1

Paul Williams returns to his apartment with his teenage son Ricky Williams, who just arrived from Los Angeles. It’s Ricky’s first time in Genoa City since he was a young boy. “This is it, home sweet home,” Paul announces, “I know it’s not much, but you got your own room. You’ll have plenty of privacy…” “I can smell the fresh paint,” Ricky announces. “Yeah, we just finished painting last night,” Paul admits, “Put all the furniture back in this morning.” “You redecorated the room for me?” Ricky asks. “Well, yeah, I want this place to seem like home to you. I want it to be comfortable,” Paul answers, “Heather… your sister – she’s coming to visit later – she bought all the posters in your room.” “Cool,” Ricky replies, “I can’t wait to meet her.” He eyes a photo of Heather on a shelf in Paul’s living room. “That’s her there?” he asks. Paul glances at the photo. “Yeah, she’s the Assistant District Attorney,” Paul answers, “Oh, that reminds me. I wanted to ask your grandparents for your last school picture. So that I have a photo of you for my wall too.”

“Um, let me know of anything else you want… if there’s any groceries or snacks, or whatever… tell me and I’ll pick it up in the morning,” Paul informs Ricky. “Yeah, I’ll try to think,” Ricky answers. Paul puts a hand on Ricky’s shoulder. “Before I picked you up, I was having lunch with some good friends, and the conversation turned to my father… your other grandfather, that you’ve never met,” Paul explains, “It really got me thinking though, of all the memories that I have with my father… you know, going fishing or going to baseball games – father-son activities. And I realized that you don’t have any of those memories of me, because we haven’t shared those times together. I really want us to change that.”

Scene 2

Meanwhile, at the Abbott Manor, Jack Abbott has just arrived home with his teenage son Kyle Abbott and Kyle’s mother Diane Jenkins. Diane and Kyle throw their bags down in the foyer. “I can’t even begin to tell you how much I’ve missed being here,” Diane states. Jack turns to Kyle. “I know this is a big adjustment,” he tries to sympathize with his son, “All your friends are back in Vancouver…” “No, my whole life is in Vancouver,” Kyle says harshly. Before things escalate any further, Billy Abbott walks into the foyer. “Hey, Nephew!” Billy exclaims, “You’ve really sprouted up like a weed. Look at you, even sportin’ a little stubble there. I bet the ladies love that.” “Um, Kyle, say hello to your Uncle Billy,” Jack says. “Yo,” Kyle says unenthusiastically. “Yo?” Billy is amused, “Listen to this. My nephew thinks he’s a gangster.” He chuckles.

“Um, so listen -- where’s Ashley?” Jack asks Billy. “Not here yet,” Billy answers. “I wonder what’s keeping her,” Jack says…

Scene 3

At the Carlton Mansion, Ashley Abbott speaks to her daughter, Abby Carlton. Ashley has just told Abby that she is going to Jack’s to see Kyle. Abby is upset about not being able to go. “Can’t you just make an exception for today?” she asks. “I’m sorry, but that’s not how being grounded works,” Ashley replies, “If we give in to you once, you’ll never learn your lesson.” “But I never get to see Kyle!” Abby protests, “He lives in another country. He never visits Uncle Jack.” “He’ll be here for the rest of the summer,” Ashley replies as Abby rolls her eyes, “You can see him when you’re un-grounded, which won’t be for a long time if you keep up this attitude.”

Scene 4

Jack, Diane, Kyle, and Billy are in the living room, which has a ‘Welcome Home Kyle’ banner set up. “Hey, man… Why don’t I show you your room? It’s newly re-decorated,” Billy announces, “And I’m sure it will be to your liking.”

They walk upstairs to Kyle’s bedroom and look around at the once ‘boring’/generic bedroom, which is now covered in posters of cars and bands, and has a large-screen TV with a video game system. “Pretty cool huh?” Billy comments. “It’ll do,” Kyle remarks. Billy prompts Kyle to admit that he likes his bedroom: “Come on! I would have killed to have a room like this when I was your age,” he says, “Actually, the only thing I had was, uh, that pin-up over there. She used to be mine. I’m passing her down to you, nephew, and I sincerely hope you get as much enjoyment out of her as I did.” Kyle looks over at the poster of a topless woman on his wall. Her chest has been censored by post-it notes. Kyle smirks. “I’ll tell you one thing -- those [post-its] are comin’ off, whether the ‘rents like it or not,” he states.

Scene 5

At the Carlton Mansion, Ashley continues her conversation with Abby. “I spoke to your father,” Ashley announces, “He’s on his way.” “Why?” Abby asks. “I can’t trust you here by yourself,” Ashley admits, “You’ve shown that you have no respect for our rules, and you have no respect for us as parents!” “But if I go to Uncle Jack’s with you, then you could watch me,” Abby tries to spin things so that she can visit Kyle, “And you wouldn’t have to bother Dad. Come on, Mom! I’ll be good… I promise!” “I wish your promises meant something, Honey,” Ashley answers.

Scene 6

Heather Stevens has just arrived at her father, Paul’s Apartment. Paul invites her inside and brings her into the living room, where Ricky is sitting on the couch. He looks over his shoulder, sees Heather, and stands up.

“Ricky… I’d like you to meet your sister,” Paul begins, “This is Heather.” Heather unexpectedly gives Ricky a big hug. “I am so excited to finally meet you after all this time!” she exclaims. “Yeah… same here,” Ricky replies, sounding genuine, but less enthusiastic. “I’ve always been an only child. This is like a dream for me… having a little brother,” Heather confesses, “But luckily, you’re past the ‘annoying’ stage.” “Oh, I’m sure I can be pretty annoying still,” Ricky jokes, “And I missed out on so many years to torment you. So… I have a lot to make up for.” “You’re just kidding, right?” Heather asks, to make sure. “Yes! Of course I’m just kidding,” Ricky confirms. “Good, because I missed out on a lot too,” Heather realizes, “Like getting to boss you around when you were younger and make you do stupid things for my enjoyment.” “I think what you’re both trying to say is… we all have a lot of catching up to do,” Paul states. He puts an arm around both of his children. “I know a lot of that is because of me. But I’ll tell you, having both of you here, I’m happier than I’ve been in a long time. I think this is the start of a new era for the Williams family, and I am so proud of both of you… I really am.”

Scene 7

Ashley opens the front door and lets her ex-husband Victor Newman inside. “Thanks for coming,” she says. “You bet,” Victor replies. “I’ll only be gone for a couple hours,” Ashley explains, “but I didn’t wanna risk leaving Abby alone again. You know what happens when we leave our daughter alone when she’s grounded…” “You don’t want her sneaking out somewhere,” Victor understands, “especially to see Ryder Callahan.” “I know you agree with me on this,” Ashley states. “I do, indeed,” Victor confirms, “That’s why I have the perfect solution.” “What is it?” Ashley asks.

“I want Abby to come back to the Ranch with me… permanently,” Victor decides. Ashley is caught off-guard. “Victor, are you sure that’s the best idea?” she asks, “Abby has been uprooted so many times in the past few years. The instability in her life is part of what’s caused her to rebel… I thought we were finally beginning to get settled in here. This is Brad’s house… it’s where Colleen lived. She feels close to them here. Do you want to take her away from that?” “Of course not, Sweetheart, but think about it: You’re all alone here. When you’re at work or need to go out, who’s here to watch Abby?” Victor questions, “On the other hand, I have a full staff at the Ranch… they’d alert me if Abby tried to leave the house or the property.”
Ashley doesn’t have time to debate. “We’ll talk about that later,” she says, “Abby can go to the Ranch for now… while she’s grounded. But as for permanently, that’s a topic for another day…”

Scene 8

Ashley arrives at the Abbott Manor. Jack opens the front door and lets her inside. “Hey, Sis!” he greets her with a hug, “Thanks for coming.” “Sorry I wasn’t here already when you came home with Kyle,” Ashley apologizes, “I had to wait for Victor.” “Everything alright?” Jack asks. “Oh, just the usual these days,” Ashley replies, “More drama with Abby.” “For once, I can finally say ‘join the club,’” Jack tells her.

Billy comes downstairs and sees Ashley. “There you are, Sister!!” he exclaims. “Hi Billy,” Ashley greets him, also giving him a hug. “What’d Kyle have to say about his room?” Jack inquires. “Not much,” Billy answers, “Except for a certain poster of… um, enhanced feminine beauty. I can tell he liked that… I’m sure he liked the whole thing. He’s just not into giving any of us any compliments right now.” “I’m gonna go bring him down here,” Jack informs Ashley, “But, be warned… Don’t expect any warm family moments coming from him.” “Oh, don’t worry,” Ashley responds, “It certainly hasn’t been my day for warm family moments.” Jack heads upstairs.

Diane enters the foyer from the living room. “Ashley, I’m really glad you could come today,” she says politely. “Sure,” Ashley replies. “Maybe later, we can compare notes,” Diane suggests, “You can give us some tips on dealing with a headstrong teenager.” “Believe me, I could use some myself,” Ashley admits.

Scene 9

Kyle is lying on his bed listening to loud music through headphones. Jack walks in, even though his door is closed. Kyle gets up from his bed and rips off the headphones. “See that thing. It’s called a door!” he shouts harshly, “I’ll let you in on a little secret: When it’s shut, it’s shut for a reason… it means ‘Do not Disturb.’” “Look… your aunt Ashley just got here,” Jack informs his son. “So…,” Kyle replies, obviously not caring. Jack takes a deep breath. “Traci’s on her way…,” Jack adds, “They’re here to see you. The least you can do is be polite to them.” “Because they care about me so much, right?” Kyle says sarcastically. “Yes! As hard as that might be for you to believe,” Jack answers, “Just come downstairs and say hi… you don’t have to stay long…” “Fine,” Kyle reluctantly agrees, “but then I wanna be left alone.”

Scene 10

Jack comes downstairs; Kyle follows behind him, reluctantly. Ashley, Diane, and Billy are in the living room. “Hi Kyle,” Ashley says politely, “You look a lot older since I saw you last… back in February.” Kyle ignores her. “Kyle, do you have anything you wanna say back to your aunt?” Diane prompts him.

“Where’s Abby?” Kyle asks, showing no interest in Ashley. “Abby regrets that she can’t make it today, but she’s grounded,” Ashley informs her nephew. “What was her crime?” Kyle follows up. “If she wants to tell you about it when she’s un-grounded, that’s her business,” Ashley replies. “Hmm… you know who else is missing from this ‘family reunion’?” Kyle notices, “The newest Mrs. Abbott. The doctor. The one who actually cared enough to invite me here… where is she?” “Emily’s back in Minnesota,” Jack answers, the pain still visible on his face. “Yet another failed relationship, huh, Jack?” Kyle taunts him, “That’s one thing you seem to be good at… since it’s obvious that fatherhood isn’t.” “Kyle, that’s enough!” Diane shouts, in an attempt to control her son. Jack tries a different approach: “No, look. You wanna take stabs at me, take stabs at me,” Jack says, “I’ve been a lousy father. I get it. I’ll fully own up to that. But somewhere along the line, we’re gonna have to talk about this. You can’t just stay mad and make nasty little comments all the time. We’re both living together under the same roof now… let’s address the issues between us. Move forward.” “There’s no issues between us,” Kyle states, not letting any emotions show, “There’s nothing between us.” The other Abbotts are speechless. “Okay – I said ‘hi;’ Now I’ll be up in my room,” Kyle announces, not waiting for any of them to say anything. He storms off upstairs. Jack almost intervenes to stop him. “Leave him,” Diane advises, “Maybe this was too much for him all at once. Let’s just give him some space; let him cool off.”

Scene 11

Victor and Abby return to the Ranch. Abby is still upset about being grounded and unable to go to Jack’s to see Kyle. Victor sits her down on the couch. “You’re my daughter and I love you very much,” he begins, “I just don’t agree with some of the decisions you’re making.” “You and Mom, you talk about me like I should never be allowed in public again,” Abby states, “like I’m a danger to society.” “A danger to yourself, maybe,” Victor corrects her, “We’ve both told you time and time again that Ryder Callahan is a loser, and a criminal, but you don’t seem to listen.” “Because you’re wrong about him!” Abby defends Ryder. “You see – this is why you’re grounded,” Victor tells her, “Because you refuse to listen to reason. And you insist on spending time with Ryder, even though your mother and I forbid it.” Abby rolls her eyes.

“I think, maybe it’s time you go up to your room,” Victor says. It’s an order, even though he doesn’t phrase it that way. “There’s nothing to do in there!” Abby talks back. “You use the time for thinking and reflecting… on how to change your behaviour,” Victor suggests, “And when you’ve done that, don’t you have any summer reading you can do to get a head-start for next year?” Victor suggests. “This is my summer vacation! I should be out with my friends, enjoying the nice weather, not cooped up in my room,” Abby pleads her case, “My cousin came to visit today. I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen him…” Victor is unaffected: “I know that you already tried this with your mother,” he states, “She said no, and I happen to agree with her.” “This isn’t fair!” Abby yells out loud. “Well, life’s not fair!” Victor responds, raising his volume, “Get used to it!”

Scene 12

Paul arrives at the Abbott Manor with Ricky. Heather accompanies them. They knock on the door and Jack invites them in. “Glad you could come,” he says. “I hope you don’t mind, but I brought Heather along.” “Oh, sure, no problem,” Jack replies, “Come on in.” “Thanks,” Heather says.” “Turns out this wasn’t much of a party after all,” Jack says to Paul, “You’re still more than welcome to stay.” “Thanks; we can spare an hour or so,” Paul answers, speaking for Heather and Ricky. “Kyle’s upstairs,” Jack informs Ricky, “You can go on up. His room’s on the left. Word of advice though: Just make sure you knock.” “I guess you’re still having problems with Kyle,” Paul deduces, as Ricky heads upstairs. “Yeah, he’s being a bit anti-social right now with his family,” Jack admits, “But maybe he’ll talk to someone his own age.” “Or he could bite Ricky’s head off,” Paul adds. “No. Don’t worry, he’s harmless,” Jack assures Paul.

Scene 13

Billy and Heather catch each others’ eyes. “I promise… I’m on my best behavior today,” Billy tells her before she has a chance to walk away. “You better be,” Heather warns him, “I don’t want you embarrassing us in front of our families.” “Well, embarrassing you, maybe,” Billy responds, “Lucky for me, I don’t get embarrassed.”

Scene 14

The doorbell rings at the Abbott Manor. Jack answers the door and sees his younger sister, Traci Abbott Connolly, who is visiting from New York. “Traci! It’s so good to see you!” Jack calls out at the sight of his sister, “Thank you so much for coming.” “Of course,” Traci answers, as she hugs Jack, “It’s a big deal to have your child back in your life. It must be such a joyous day for you and Diane.” “You’d think so, wouldn’t you?” Jack replies.

Before Traci has a chance to respond to Jack, Ashley and Billy rush over to greet her and give her a hug. “Why didn’t you call?” Jack asks his sister, “I would have come and got you.” “I know,” Traci responds softly, “I had somewhere I needed to go first.” “Did you see Colleen?” Ashley asks. “Yes,” Traci confirms. “Hard to believe it’s almost been a year,” Billy says, “I still think about CiCi every day.” “We all do,” Jack states.

Paul and Heather, who had been talking in the living room, join the Abbotts in the foyer. “Paul,” Traci greets him with a hug. “Hi Traci,” Paul replies, “It’s nice to see you.” He reintroduces Heather to Traci: “You remember my daughter, Heather?” he asks. “Yes; how do you do?” Traci says. “Good, thanks,” Heather answers. “Um, Paul’s son, Ricky, also happened to return to Genoa City today too,” Jack informs Traci. “He’s upstairs with Kyle,” Paul adds.

Scene 15

Ricky stands outside of a closed bedroom door that he assumes is Kyle’s. He knocks on the door. “Go away!” Kyle yells. “It’s Ricky!” Ricky shouts through the door. Kyle relents: “Fine!” he yells back, “Open it.” Ricky opens the door. Kyle springs up off his bed. “So, Rick… I can call you that, right?” he asks, but doesn’t wait for an answer, “What brings you by, Buddy… Pal?” His tone is somewhat sarcastic. “Your dad invited my dad and me,” Ricky informs Kyle. “Well, since you came all this way,” Kyle says, still in a seemingly sarcastic tone, “I guess I can make an exception for you.”

“Sick room,” Ricky observes. “Yeah, so maybe they actually did something right,” Kyle replies, not wanting to give any credit, “Especially her…” He points to the pin-up that Ricky had somehow not even noticed. “Dude, she is smokin’,” Ricky comments. “Yeah, and strategically placed. To maximize my viewing pleasure… I can stare at her all night.”

Kyle takes a package of cigarettes out of his pocket, grabs one, and lights it up. “You want one?” he offers in between puffs. He opens his bedroom window and blows the smoke outside. Ricky shakes his head ‘no.’ “Suit yourself,” Kyle answers as he takes another puff. “You shouldn’t smoke, you know,” Ricky tells Kyle. “What are you, the Morality Police?” Kyle responds. “And chill out. It’s not like I’m addicted or anything… I don’t need to smoke. It’s just somethin’ to do… ” “Well those things can kill you,” Ricky warns Kyle. “Good thing I don’t mind living dangerously then,” Kyle says…

Scene 16

In the Abbott living room, Jack approaches Paul. “Who’d have ever thought, after everything that happened with Patty, that we’d be here together… talking about fatherhood, of all things?” Jack thinks out loud. “Yeah, it is funny the way things work out sometimes, isn’t it?” Paul agrees. “We’re both suddenly thrust into fatherhood, trying to raise teenage sons,” Jack realizes, “I’d like to think we’re in this together.” “What’re you suggesting?” Paul asks, “A ‘fathers helping fathers’ kind of arrangement?” “Yeah,” Jack confirms, “Let’s talk about our experiences, give each other advice… help each other out.” “You know, the thought just dawned on me… We’re down here talking about our sons together,” Paul states, without addressing Jack’s request, “I wonder what our sons are talking about upstairs…”

Scene 17

At the Abbott Manor, Kyle and Ricky continue their conversation. “You know where I would be right now? If I was back home?” Kyle asks rhetorically, “Kits Beach, out in the sun, layin’ in the sand, checking out all the chicks… pickin’ up the hot ones… and let me tell you, Vancouver has some hot girls.” “Actually, I’m pretty sure LA has the hottest girls,” Ricky interjects, “You should check out the Santa Monica Pier.” “What, are you gonna take me with you when you go back to LA?” Kyle asks. He’s clearly not serious. “Maybe you can visit some time,” Ricky suggests, “I can show you around… Rodeo Drive, the Beverly Mall, Hollywood and Highland… that’s got this sick slasher movie exhibit... Or maybe I can come to Vancouver and you can show me around.” “Um, don’t count on it, Rick,” Kyle shoots him down, “I got a busy life in Vancouver. I wouldn’t have time to babysit you.” “You wouldn’t have to ‘babysit’ me,” Ricky stands his ground, “If I can survive LA without you, I can survive Vancouver.”

“All I know is that can’t come soon enough… going back home,” Kyle states, “I can’t wait to get the Hell outta Genoa City.” “I hate to tell you this, but it looks like you’re stuck here for the time being,” Ricky observes. “Thanks for pointing that out, Captain Obvious,” Kyle responds. “So what’re you gonna do about it?” Ricky asks. “I’m not gonna sit in my room forever and cry about it, that’s for sure. I know how to make the best out of a bad situation,” Kyle explains, “No, I’m already planning my next move. I mean, this place isn’t all bad… That pool… I’m dying to take a dip in it… And this house, it’s pretty cool… I could have some serious fun here. I just gotta get Jack and Diane out of the house.” “You really don’t care about your parents, do you?” Ricky asks. “They can drop dead for all I care,” Kyle states coldly, “The only person I wanna see is my cousin… Abby.” “How old is she?” Ricky wonders. “Our age,” Kyle answers. “Is she hot?” Ricky asks openly. “Dude, she’s my cousin… I’m not gonna answer that,” Kyle replies. “So, yes?” Ricky interprets Kyle’s answer. Kyle deflects the question: “Believe me, I got a lotta turn-ons, but incest is not one of them,” he states, “That’s my Uncle Billy’s department. He almost married his cousin once… well, they thought they were cousins.” “Gross,” Ricky comments. “Yeah,” Kyle agrees, “Sickening…”

Scene 18

In the Abbott living room, Heather approaches Billy, who is standing alone, having a drink. “Are you sure you wanna be seen with me?” Billy asks, “People might get suspicious.” “What other choice do I have?” Heather asks. “Oh, I get it. You feel a little out of place among all these parents,” Billy deduces. “You’re a parent,” Heather states. Billy smirks. “Okay, I was being polite,” he corrects himself, “What I meant to say was, I bet you feel a little out of place among all these old people.” Heather chuckles. “Billy, you can make me laugh, I’ll give you that,” she admits.

There are a few moments of silence as Heather takes a drink. “You and your older siblings are so close,” Heather notices. “We’ve had our rough patches,” Billy shares with her. “Still, seeing you with Jack and Ashley, and Traci… it gives me more motivation. I wanna be a good big sister to Ricky. I mean, I don’t know exactly what being a big sister means, but maybe that’ll be one area of my life that I won’t screw up… God knows how badly I’ve already screwed up my personal life.” “Are you talking about Adam?” Billy asks, “Because you are in no way responsible for what happened with that creep. He fooled so many people. I mean, he uses women to get what he wants. You, Ashley, Sharon. The list goes on and on.” “Adam is not the only mistake I’ve made when it comes to my love life,” Heather confesses. “You mean us?” Billy asks, “We were just one time… and I certainly don’t regret it.” “But what does it say about us when we have to resort to random hook-ups instead of having normal, stable relationships?” Heather ponders. “Maybe for some of us, random hook-ups are normal,” Billy suggests. “Okay, maybe for you, but not for the other 99.9% of the population who want a monogamous relationship,” Heather clarifies, “I mean… I always thought by the time I hit thirty, I’d have a successful career, I’d be married to an awesome man, have a baby, maybe another little one on the way…” “You still have lots of time for that,” Billy assures her. “But just think about it for a minute, Billy… everyone we know is getting married or having kids,” Heather informs him, “Chloe and Chance are engaged, Lily and Cane have the twins on the way, you and Chloe have Delia, JT and Victoria have Reed, Sharon and Nick just had Faith… I mean, name one person that we both know… who’s our age and has never been married and has no kids.” “Rafe?” Billy suggests. Heather smirks slightly. “Okay, that is not fair!” she protests, since their friend Rafe Torres is gay, “Rafe… he’s another story altogether…”

Scene 19

Traci and Paul catch up with one another at the other end of the living room. “How’s your sister doing?” Traci inquires. “You know, you’re a remarkable woman for even asking,” Paul responds, knowing that his sister Patty was partially responsible for the death of Traci’s daughter, Colleen. “Well, Patty was a victim in all this too,” Traci states, “I still believe that.” “You know, she’s sorry about what she did,” Paul informs Traci, “I know she can’t express that to you herself, but in her therapy, she’s had to confront her past actions, and I know she feels remorse that her obsession caused so many innocent people to be hurt… especially Colleen.”

Scene 20

Paul approaches Diane by the fireplace in the living room of the Abbott Manor. “About what you said at the airport,” he begins. “I’m sorry… I didn’t know,” Diane tells him. “I know,” Paul states, “And luckily there was no harm done this time, but that’s why I’m telling you now: Ricky doesn’t know anything about what went on with Isabella. I want it to stay that way.”

Scene 21

Ricky and Kyle continue to talk in Kyle’s bedroom. “So what’s your story?” Kyle wonders, “Parents divorce, Mom keeps you away from your Dad, or what?” “I dunno,” Ricky answers honestly. “What do you mean, you don’t know?” Kyle asks. “I’ve just always lived with my grandparents. I don’t know where my mom is. Never have. All they would tell me is she couldn’t take care of me.” “And you never wondered what that meant?” Kyle probes. “When I was younger, all the time,” Ricky admits, “but eventually I just accepted it, that she was never gonna be a part of my life.” “And your dad? What was his excuse for dumping you across the country?” Kyle questions. “He’s a private investigator,” Ricky answers, “He travels a lot. He couldn’t raise me all by himself.” Kyle is unsympathetic. “Well, boo hoo. He should have thought about that before he decided to have a kid,” he states, “I hope you plan to make his life hell while you’re here.” “No, I don’t,” Ricky answers, shocked to hear Kyle even suggest that. “Well, where’s the fun in that? Kyle responds, “Don’t you wanna get him back?” “I’m here to reconnect with him, not to get revenge,” Ricky explains. Kyle laughs. “You are so naïve, bro,” he begins, “I’m gonna let you in on a little secret, Rick… your dad and your grandparents, they’re obviously lying to you about something. You gotta wake up and stop believing everything you’re told. Stop being such a tool!” “I’m not a tool,” Ricky defends himself. “Actually, you kindof are,” Kyle states, with a smirk on his face, “It’s gonna be so much fun corrupting you…” “What makes you think you can?” Ricky replies, making Kyle see it as even more of a challenge. “Believe me, I have a gift for it,” Kyle answers. “Making people do things they don’t wanna do?” Ricky asks. “No… making people realize the things that, deep down, they wanna do but they’d be too afraid to do otherwise,” Kyle explains, “Trust me. Everyone’s a rebel at heart, Rick. I just choose to embrace it. And soon you will too.”

Paul knocks on the half-open door and peaks into Kyle’s bedroom. “Ricky, we’re gonna take off,” he announces. “He’ll leave when he’s ready,” Kyle speaks rudely before Ricky has a chance to answer Paul. “Excuse me?” Paul reacts to Kyle’s harsh tone. “It’s okay,” Ricky says, trying to avoid a scene, “I’m coming.” “It starts already -- you’re not even here for a day and he’s already acting like he’s in charge of you, trying to run your life,” Kyle instigates. “Well, I am his father,” Paul states, “That’s my job…” “Alright, go on, Rick. Be the obedient son,” Kyle taunts him, “When you’re ready to live on the edge a little, you know where to find me.” Paul and Ricky leave Kyle alone in his room.

“Parents, they can all go to Hell,” Kyle says aloud as he lays back on his bed…

Scene 22

Meanwhile, at the Newman Ranch, Victor has finished his conversation with his daughter Abby. “Okay, off to your room,” Victor orders again. “Do you hate me this much?” Abby asks, still displaying an attitude. “What are you talking about?” Victor responds, “Sweetheart, of course I don’t hate you; I love you. And I hate to see that you’re upset… but I know that the decision your mother and I made is what’s best for you in the long-run.” “No, it’s what’s best for the two of you!” Abby shouts, “You don’t want me to be happy!” “That’s not true. Of course I want you to be happy. I’m your father. Of course, I do.” “No, Brad Carlton is my father!” Abby lashes out as she runs upstairs. Victor is visibly hurt.

Scene 23

The Abbotts – Jack, Ashley, Traci, Billy – are at the front door of the Abbott Manor, saying bye to Paul, Heather, and Ricky. “Come by any time, Ricky,” Jack offers as the Williamses head out the door. He shuts the door and turns back to his sisters and half-brother. “We’re gonna take off too, Jacky,” Ashley announces, “Traci’s gonna stay with me tonight… since I’m all alone.” “You just got here,” Jack says to Traci. “I know, but you and Diane obviously have a lot to deal with here.” The Abbott sisters and brothers exchange hugs with one another. “I’m sorry you didn’t get to see Kyle,” Jack tells Traci, “but I think it’s best to just leave him alone tonight.” “I understand,” Traci says, “Maybe another time… when he’s better adjusted to living here.” “I’ll stop by later,” Billy tells Ashley and Traci, before turning to Jack, “Sorry. Things didn’t work out with Kyle the way you wanted them to.” “I’m still not giving up,” Jack replies confidently. Billy gives him a pat on the back as he heads out the door with Ashley and Traci.

After all the guests have left, Diane comes downstairs and joins Jack in the living room. “Well, so much for a happy homecoming,” Jack comments. “Kyle still won’t come out of his room,” Diane updates Jack. “As much as it pains me to say it, at least that gives us some time to figure things out without having to deal with his attitude,” Jack responds. “I don’t know what’s happened to him, Jack,” Diane confides, “I mean, I can’t anything to him anymore without setting him off… and some of the things he said today… I’ve never heard him speak with such an acid tongue.” Jack notices Diane’s bags are still in the foyer. “Wait, maybe before we discuss this, we should get you settled into the Pool House,” Jack suggests.

“The Pool House?” Diane responds, “I can’t stay there. You remember what happened last time… with Phyllis.” “I just assumed, you know, the Pool House is here on the property, so it made sense for you to stay there,” Jack explains, “If you’d rather go to the Athletic Club, that’s fine, but then you’d be further away from Kyle.” “Jack… I don’t think we’ve discussed our living arrangements yet…” “That’s what we’re doing now,” Jack begins, before realizing Diane’s choice of words, “Wait -- Living arrangements? I thought you were only staying temporarily,” Jack says. “So did I,” Diane admits, “until I saw the way Kyle was acting at the airport. And the way he treated your guests… your own family. Jack, if there is any hope of straightening out our son, we have to be united, and that means both of us being active parents in Kyle’s life… working together to provide as much support as we can.” “Are you saying what I think you’re saying?” Jack asks. “I’m moving in,” Diane decides.
