Audra’s not jealous – but Tucker’s proposal seemed more about Ashley than her.
Whatever we had is in the past, we can’t get it back – this is better for all of us. He hopes Ashley gets the help she needs. Ashley looks disappointed when Tucker’s shown the door. Let us in, Jack implores.
Audra sums it up – Tucker wanted to make a point to Ashley, and to me. He feels he’s the reason she’s falling apart and playing the ‘good guy’ by wanting her to get help. Tucker can’t let Ashley go. On cue, he appears.
Billy stands up for Traci – she did the right thing by telling us. Ashley jokes that she’s a character in Traci’s next novel. Traci’s in tears – we love you. You promised me you’d see a doctor. Ashley will never forgive Traci – do you think I’m nuts??
In the white room, young Ashley yelps – she’s out of control – she’s not stronger than you, right?
Ashley suddenly drops the attitude – I’ve never felt so alone.
After being introduced to Tucker, Sally leaves him and Audra to chat. He explains what transpired at the Abbott house. She tells him what she’s been venting to Sally about. I’m a catch, Tucker jokes.
Ashley’s siblings just want her to get help. We’re your family, we love you. You think I’m broken beyond repair, Ashley brings up Jack’s addiction, mocks them for judging her – then tells Diane to shut up again.
Tucker just wants to spend the rest of his life with Audra. She wants everything, except marriage. Tucker agrees and no, he doesn’t want to talk about Ashley anymore.
Looking into her eyes, Tucker gives Audra his word – I’m letting it go. He’s head over heels in love with her ~kiss~
Ashley lashes out at Diane (Taylor, the realtor – you faked your own death, bitch) Yes, Diane did have a breakdown and got therapy. Ashley then taunts Jack about her being Dad’s favourite. Then Billy, then Traci – she’s jealous because Dad called me his beauty – so insensitive. When Ashley tries to leave, Jack one exit, Billy the other. I’m not going back to Fairview! she shrieks.
In the white room, young Ashley again tries to wake Ashley up – she’s going to take us all down with her – wake up!!!!
