Having made a call, Jack confirms that Ashley and Tucker’s PR release is true. He won’t let Diane blame herself – this is Tucker’s doing.
Encouraged by Ashley, Tucker continues his impersonation of Jack. He’ll try to convince you to stay at Jabot. Speak of the devils, Tucker grins and raises his glass when Jack and Diane walk into Society scowling.
Audra’s in a short robe by the time Kyle comes knocking. She wastes no time showing him the earrings – with no distractions (the robe drops) Kyle removes his shirt.
Jack won’t have this conversation with Ashley. Wanting to hear what his future brother in law has to say, Tucker leads the way. That leaves Diane to ask Ashley what it’ll take to end this.
In the jazz lounge, Adam pauses typing to flash back to lashing out at Nick (who then asked him to stay away from Sally)
Sally’s too tired to talk – I need rest – and some space. She wants Nick to ‘just go’ before she says something hurtful. I know you’re trying, she sends him off with a kiss.
In bed, Kyle feels like he’s 20 again. We can be carefree in here. Until the next meeting or spreadsheet. Yes, Audra loves her new job but needs a right hand man – interested?
At CL’s, Nick tells Sharon that since he’s got time off from Newman, Dad wants him to work with Adam (as a buffer) Sally doesn’t think Adam deserves help. Nick wonders what Sharon thinks – should I work with Adam?
Outside Society, Tucker tells Jack that if he really wants to honour his father, wish Ashley the best. You want everyone’s life to be as empty and meaningless as yours, Jack accuses.
Diane will whatever she can to make life easier for Jack. Ashley drinks more champagne. She and Tucker will be there to help Jabot once Diane tanks it. Jack will realize she’s too blame and cut her loose. You will never be an Abbott.
That’s for you and Adam to decide, Sharon asks Nick how he feels. He thinks Adam will think Dad planned this all along – or that I’m spying on him. You want to do it, Sharon guesses.
Hearing Audra’s pitch, Kyle would love to crush Adam but worries how his family will react.
Jack shouts – if Tucker had any influence over Ashley, he’d do something about this unhealthy fixation on Diane. Tucker thinks Jack’s scared to go toe to toe with Ashley.
Nick guesses that Sharon thinks he should do it because Adam’s grieving and to prevent anyone else from becoming collateral damage.
Back in the jazz lounge, Adam again stops typing to think about the envelope he slipped under Sally’s door.
In bed, Sally’s also thinking about Adam’s letter. He’ll be waiting downstairs til noon. Looking sad, Sally lays down and closes her eyes.
Adam now flashes back to Audra telling him that he’s been stood up. Then, his sudden flash of temper.
Diane and Jack leave – deciding to go somewhere else.
At Society’s bar, Ashley and Tucker drink more champagne.
Kyle’s intrigued by Audra’s offer but needs time to think about it. He’d rather make out than talk ~kiss~
Next Week – Tucker puts a small, gift box in front of Ashley; our secret weapon/wedding gift …. Why in a million years do you think it’s a good idea for the two of us to partner up? Adam asks Sharon…. Daniel and Summer are with Mike at the GCAC hoping for info on their Mom. Brace yourselves, she’s ready for her comeback, Mike announces.
Nick didn’t expect
