Audra asks if she can still trust Tucker. He doesn’t know how he’ll react if Ashley changed her mind. How can he make any guarantees when his life is in flux? Ten minutes ago, our professional goals were in sync – us against everyone else. No, this isn’t an ultimatum, this is good bye. Audra marches out to salvage her career.
Vikki updates Cole that Claire doesn’t want to see them (due to her guilt and self-hatred) They vow to keep trying no matter how long it takes.
In his suite, Tucker reads Kyle’s text – clock’s ticking. He then calls. Tucker’s on to Kyle – Audra just confirmed it. When Tucker hangs up, Kyle frets to Jack – Audra just blew the whole thing wide open. Coming home, Ashley joins Jack in being concerned when Kyle heads out in a hurry.
Here we are all these years later, when Cole looks at Claire, he sees everything he missed watching her grow up. I would have given her the world. Vikki gets a call from GCM – we’ll be right there. Claire wants to see us!
Summer brings over a gift bag she had delivered from Marchetti – just a few shirts at discount. You don’t seem like yourself – you can tell me anything, she encourages Chance to open up.
Sharon will know when the right guy comes along. Chance is fun and easy on the eyes – but she doesn’t want to repeat past mistakes. We know what the real thing feels like; Sharon won’t settle – but will accept Nick’s offer to share her business plans.
In the dining room, Sally shares her idea of the perfect dinner date. Her good news? She has new clients. His news? Life is going good- 75% being with Sally. 25% something else.
Kyle barges into Audra’s suite to confront her on blabbing to Tucker. She did that to protect him. I know exactly who and what you are, Kyle seethes. Give it a shot Golden Boy – who am I and what was my motive? Audra challenges.
Vikki and Cole exude expectation – this is all at your pace. Claire hasn’t changed her mind – she can’t have them in her life. It’s best for everyone – go back to forgetting that I exist. We never forgot you, Cole insists. Why did Claire summon them? She has one final request.
Summer persists. If Chance is going through something, she wants to be there for him as he was for her. Let’s talk over lunch.
Ashley’s annoyed when Jack brings up Tucker. She’s trying to have a peaceful day, after all. Tucker’s just being Tucker – trying to make her believe a lie to make himself seem less horrible.
Sally’s impressed to hear that Adam and Nick are tolerating each other.
Claire only wants one thing of her parents. She’s spoken to her doctors and Mike and wants to tell Jordan how she feels about her. Will you help make this happen?
Jack’s so sorry. He can tell that Ashley’s still ‘in deep’ with Tucker. There’s no point denying it to me or yourself.
Tucker’s not surprised to find Kyle in Audra’s suite. It’s over. There’s potential behind all the hair gel. If you broke the stranglehold your Dad has on you, you could be a world-class bastard like he is. When Kyle’s punch lands Tucker on the sofa with a bloodied lip, Audra gasps.
