After Abby pours wine, Diane and Kyle toast Jack (for helping Nikki) They briefly discuss Ashley – she seemed OK.
In the back seat of a car, Ashley’s being driven through the night as she vows to take control.
Nikki sees no problem with meeting her former sponsor at CL’s. Victor wants to send security to follow her. Please stay home, Vikki implores. Neither want her to provoke Jordan.
At Society, Tessa’s received her wife’s blessing to accept Abby’s offer to run Society; with a few conditions. She wants serious changes made around here.
Jack feels that Ashley’s ready to turn a corner (and put Tucker behind her) Kyle and Diane hope so. We can stop Tucker by making sure Jabot’s ready to defend itself at every level.
Not willing to discuss her own family, Audra has advice for Tucker. Do nothing. Let the dust settle from your breakup with Ashley. Be there for Devon when he needs you – for no other reason than it’s the right thing to do. You’re amazing, Tucker takes Audra’s hand across the table. Arriving in time to spot them, Ashley goes upstairs.
Not wanting this evening to end, Audra will buy Tucker a night cap. With a kiss, he goes upstairs to send a quick email.
Tessa’s makeover includes a DJ, Karaoke, dancefloor and an international menu. When Abby has to put the brakes on, Tessa laughs – she wouldn’t change a single thing. Thank God, Abby’s relieved. Tessa’s one condition is a flexible schedule for Aria’s sake. No problem, Abby takes her new manager over to Jack’s table so that he, Diane and Kyle can congratulate her .
OK – Nikki won’t meet Seth at CL’s – she’ll have him come to the ranch. When Victor goes to take a call, Vikki leaves her Mom to call Seth. Jordan’s glued to her new pal’s side when Nikki calls to invite him to the ranch instead. Getting the address, Seth will see her soon. This just keeps getting better and better, Jordan comments as they leave the bar.
Victor’s happy that Nikki changed her mind. With a hug, he supports her willingness to help him. Nikki wants to set a trap for Jordan before she sets one for us.
Ashley? Jack comes home to bellow. Diane questions Kyle as he makes a beeline for the booze. They bicker some more about work. How do you really feel about me taking your old job? I’m you’re boss but first and foremost I’m your Mom. Tell me the truth, Diane badgers Kyle until he admits that it’s been tougher than he thought it’d be – he’s trying not to resent his Mom for it. Jack wonders aloud where Ashley is.
Unlocking the door and turning on the light, Tucker finds Ashley in his suite.
