be the same old kevin fisher? cheers. >> ashley: you don' t care. there will always be somebody who needs a cure, right? some other desperate soul that you can poke and prod and then toss away. >> dr. neville: stop it. you' re wrong. absolutely wrong. my patients are never guinea pigs or lab rats. they' they' re people. they think, they feel, they love, ache. they have every right to their fear and their memories and their hope. and it is my job, mine, to make sure that that doesn' t slip away or is lost. sometimes -- sometimes, that job is daunting. it is frightening. it' s frustrating. it' s graceless. but it' s what i do. and while i admittedly don' t have the world'

bedside manner, i make up for it in other areas. i' m good at it, maybe the only thing i' m good at. but isn' isn' t that why you put your life >> jill: oh, good. you' re here. >> ashley: my god, is it billy? >> jill: yes, of course it' s billy. his condition is the same. >> ashley: i' m so sorry. he doesn' t deserve this. >> jill: no, he doesn' t. what is it gonna take? i' m sorry. i am so, so sorry. i should have trusted you. a thousand apologies. but please, please, come with me to the hospital and heal my son. >> dr. neville: there' s no point. i mean, the chart i looked at -- that was before billy underwent surgery, before he crashed on the table. now, i-i don' t know what i could do for him. >> jill: fine! come with me. >> dr. neville: no, i can' t. the protocol that i' m working on -- it' s too important. lives depend on it. i-i can' t just walk away, not right now. >> jill: you'

kidding me. what? you' re gonna stay here and play with your beakers and your test tubes while my son needs you? oh, my god. you really are a charlatan. what, the odds are just too high or you can' t be bothered? >> ashley: jill, that' s not it. >> jill: well, then, what is it, ashley? you tell me. why are you defending this man who won' t save your brother? >> victoria: where' s jill? >> lauren: she went to go find a miracle. demand it, actually. >> victoria: wonderful. [ sighs ] >> lauren: she' s sure she can will it into being. >> victoria: i look at him in there. he' s so still. you know, billy is terrible at being still. he' s always running around the house, chasing after the kids and everything like that. that' s how i see him. [ sighs ] now i' m wondering if maybe it' s over. maybe he' s already gone. [ crying ] i don' t know what to do, lauren. i don'

t know how to show him that i love him. do i let him go? though i know that' s not what he >> lauren: you don' t have to decide that now. >> victoria: dr. dellafield says lauren, he wouldn' t want this. he would not want this. he would hate me if he knew that this is how bad things were. >> michael: hey. >> victoria: hi. >> michael: look, victoria, i don' t know if this makes things harder or easier, but that choice -- that decision -- it' s not yours to make. i try hard to get a great shape. this...

he named jack, victoria. >> victoria: not me. >> michael: no. not you. he wanted to spare you from exactly this situation. >> victoria: deciding whether or not to keep him on the machine. billy already made that decision. he wouldn' t want a life like this. >> ashley: jill, i' m defending dr. neville because he does care. he' s a brilliant scientist. he' s probably an even more brilliant doctor. but...billy' s my brother. this makes me so sad. if dr. neville is telling you that the window has closed to helping him, then he can' t help billy. he can' t, and that breaks my heart. >> jill: oh, does it really? it breaks your heart, huh? you seem awfully willing to let him go. >> ashley: i just trust his medical opinion, jill. >> jill: yeah, well, you make perfume, okay? you' re not a doctor. you' re a businesswoman. i' m so sorry if billy' s illness is gonna affect your fiscal bottom line. >> dr. neville: all right, all right. that' s enough. you can'

start berating my... my -- my partner that way. look, the staff at memorial told you that surgery was the only answer. you made the best choice you could. and on a different day, under different circumstances, billy would be awake. but it didn' t play out that way. and i' m sorry. i cannot fix it now. >> jill: you won' t fix it now. [ voice breaking ] fine. you just go to hell. go to hell. i will find somebody else who won' t turn their back on a person when they need them. and you, ashley -- have fun in your lab coat. >> dr. neville: that woman is like a human sledgehammer. you do know how sorry i am about your brother? i mean it. ashley. ashley! all right. okay. it' s all right. you' re fading too fast. i' ve got to get you out of here. >> kevin: really? this is what you do every day? >> victor: [ chuckles ]

s not a bad life. i mean, if that' s what you' re into. >> victor: could be your life, you know? i mean, i respect your loyalty to billy abbott, but, uh, to reach your full potential, you need to partner with someone who has already reached his. >> kevin: my full potential? >> victor: yeah. it' s about your life, about what you want, and about what you want to become. >> kevin: first this, then tequila. then who knows what. to us. >> mariah: to you. >> kevin: ready? >> mariah: don' t you know by now? i am always ready. >> kevin: then let' s get to it.
