Tucker’s working on a letter to Glacade’s employees when breaking news hits his laptop. ‘Tucker McCall complicit in criminal cover-up. Sonofabitch, he mutters.

Nate saw Nikki drink from her flask and pop a breath mint. Don’t you dare spread that lie, Nikki tells Nate he was mistaken and it’s none of his damn business anyway. Alcoholism is a disease, Nate lectures. Stay out of my life, she huffs off.

Vikki describes Jordan to the security guy. He saw a new hire in a blond wig. It’s a disguise – we have to find that woman and the young woman who’s with her.

Nate wastes no time approaching Victor – there’s something we need to discuss. Victor’s said everything to Nate that needs to be said.

Vikki calls Cole to say that Claire’s missing and she found Jordan’s bracelet. She snuck in dressed as a nurse, she’s sure. The security guy confirms that the blonde woman left pushing a young woman in a wheelchair.

Nate’s not asking for another chance at Newman. Victor again accuses Nate of betraying him. I caught you – end of story.

Kyle convinced his Dad to remove Audra’s name from the emails. He kept this from me. He doesn’t trust me. Audra’s furious – without Glacade we can’t take on Jabot. There’s nothing for you or me! Kyle stole the perfect product. There’s no company! Audra fumes.

Tucker’s at the Abbott house to confront Jack and Ashley. He expected this from Jack but not Ashley.

Billy’s sure that going to work at Chancellor is the right move. He has on question that haunts him – what’s my legacy? What’s my purpose? he asks Chelsea.

Tucker tells Ashley that if she wants war, she’s got it. He’s not done – not by a long shot, he warns Jack.






When Cole arrives at Memorial, Vikki tells him that she’s alerted security, the police and her Dad’s team. Jordan snuck her out. Claire’s so broken – we didn’t protect her – again. We’ll find her, Cole reassures.

Nate’s only concern was Victor’s health. He took an oath. Go back to medicine and leave my family alone, Victor growls. Nate has reason to believe Nikki’s drinking again. On cue, he sees Nikki dash back up the stairs.

Billy continues to contemplate his legacy. He doesn’t regret his decision and is excited about finding his purpose. He wants Chelsea to feel as ‘great’ as he does.

Nate and Victor are upstairs in the lobby. Nikki shouldn’t be driving, Nate states. Victor sears him to secrecy and tells him to stay out of their business.

Nikki’s at home and about to have a drink when her phone rings. Hello Nikki, Jordan taunts her. I’m watching your every move. Stay away from me you demented bitch, Nikki hisses. Jordan knows her ‘friend’ is about to have another drink. I’m drunk – what’s it to ya? Nikki asks.

In Tucker’s suite, Audra flashes back to him telling her how much he appreciates, trusts and respects her. How he loves her brilliant mind etc. Tucker returns – yes, he’s seen the internet; flattering picture. She’s not sure she trusts Kyle. What will we do now? Tucker’s fixated on Ashley’s role in this.

Jack, Ashley and Kyle toast to the demise of Tucker McCall.

Vikki’s at the club to update her Dad that Jordan took Claire. He’ll go to the ranch and update Nikki. Is everything OK? Vikki’s puzzled when Victor leaves.

Jordan tells Nikki that she has Vikki’s firstborn. I’m the only person who ever loved her. If you want Vikki to see Claire again, we make a trade. The mother for her daughter.
