Sally doesn’t think this talk ‘urgent’ – did you want to interrupt my evening with Nick? No, Adam wanted to set the ground rules early. They’re chuckling about how mature Adam is when Nick comes down to frown.
Tucker appreciates Ashley looking out for him and Devon. Forcing my hand might be the nicest thing anyone’s ever done for him. But, Devon doesn’t want anything to do with him. Failure’s not an option, Ashley says firmly.
Victor can’t believe that Ashley’s reconnected with Tucker (and bought his debt) – she’s too smart to fall for his BS. Love makes you overlook flaws and mistakes, Nikki gently points out.
Nick tells Sally that he has to go home – the nanny called to say that Christian had a nightmare. After a brief kiss, Sally returns to Adam to say that she needs to go up and get some rest. Adam will have to find a way not to think of what might have been (something Sally didn’t want to hear)
Now home, Devon and Abby are debating getting Dom a big boy bed when Tucker calls to ask for a meeting, Devon rejects the idea. You’ll be interested in what I have to say. Hello? He hung up, While Tucker whines to Ashley. Abby encourages Devon to hear his father out.
When Victor gets a surprise visit from Adam, Nikki leaves them to it. Adam wants to hear the mysterious offer; the plan – right now.
Victor finally gets around to telling Adam that he wants to buy McCall Unlimited – and Adam’s to run it.
Devon’s reluctant to meet Tucker but admits that it’d be nice to have a father. He picks up a framed photo of Neil; this is my real father. Abby’s sympathy and support is greatly appreciated. There’s no place she’d rather be. A kiss turns into more.
Tucker mopes – he can’t even get Devon to talk to him. Ashley insists he do whatever it takes to ‘make it happen’. If we get this done, how does it affect ‘us’? he wonders. IF it happens, Ashley might believe that Tucker’s truly changed.
Back in her suite, Sally answers a video call from Nick – who invites her to come to his place for the night. Tempting but she’s exhausted. Why did Nick video call? To see Sally’s smile one more time. See you in the morning.
It’s a helluva big job, Adam wonders what’s the hold-up. Victor’s run into a roadblock. When he finds out who caused it, he’ll make his next move.
Devon comes down for beers and he sends Tucker a text; granting him 30 minutes tomorrow morning.
Back in Tucker’s suite, he updates Ashley that Devon’s changed his mind. Ashley’s thrilled for him – don’t screw it up. This could be your last chance. Tucker agrees – there’s way too much on the line for him to fail now.
