Tucker’s frustration boils over. He’s done with this game of self-flagellation and will sell his company and leave town. Ashley’s pushed him over the edge – you’re a sadist! Unmoved, she’ll leave him to do whatever he needs to do (starting with grinding the rose into the carpet with his heel)
After Mariah leaves, Sharon invites Elena to the baby shower Is everything alright? Yeah, Elena says unconvincingly before taking her coffee to the patio.
We made a mistake, Nate announces. OK – just me. I’m with Elena – we weren’t thinking straight. Nick tracked me down to make accusations.
Spotting the trampled rose on Tucker’s floor and half-empty bottle, Audra can see that he crashed and burned with Ashley. See you around, she slams the door.
Abby and Ashley are surprised to find Victor by himself at Society. He asks them to sit down to discuss something as a family.
Victor brings up Abby’s new living arrangements. Devon seems to be in a better place now. Ashley already knows he’s going back to CW – Tucker told her. Abby can see that there’s more going on than what she was privy to.
Joining Elena on the patio, Audra can see that she’s buying the story Nate told her.
Nick accused me of having an agenda and then Elena showed up, Nate wants to pretend this never happened. Vikki doesn’t think that’s possible.
Audra believes the sooner they can distract Vikki with something (someone) else the better for everyone. Audra can take over the search for JT. I won’t let you down. After Elena leaves, she makes a call – track down JT Hellstrum.
Nate pulls his hand away from Vikki’s – it has to end. No, he won’t change his mind so let’s get back to business.
After Victor ‘leaves in a hurry’, Abby wonders what’s going on. Ashley wanted Devon to buy McCalll to mend the father-son relationship. He’s staying at CW because he doesn’t trust Tucker – and Abby’s OK with that.
Tucker’s summoned Victor to his suite. He wants to sell McCall so he can leave town. Give me a reasonable figure and we’ll have the contract drawn up. They shake on the deal.
