In the shower, Tucker shouts for Audra to join him. Instead, she stays in bed to flash back to his proposal – then reaches her hand towards the ring box.
Wearing bubblegum lipstick and blue eyeliner, Ashley takes a seat at the GCAC’s bar. Ignoring (and annoyed by) Traci’s numerous texts, she orders a ginger ale then quickly changes her mind – a martini.
Meeting Summer at Society, a stressed-out Chance has something to discuss with her before they order.
Claire couldn’t be happier in her new home. This is my dream – but it’s not yours, is it? She notices how glum Vikki looks.
At home, Nikki slips her vodka bottle into her purse and pops a mint seconds before Victor appears to say that he knows what’s going on.
The vodka, Victor further terrifies Nikki before adding – Larry said someone sent a drink over to you. A relieved Nikki relays the incident; sure Jordan was behind it. As for their vacation, she no longer wants to go.
Now knowing that Daniel was fired, Summer leaves him a message then talks to Chance about Lily firing him. Sensing that Chance is still stressed, Summer has a way to relieve his tension – follow me.
Coming out in his robe, Tucker’s surprised to find himself talking to an empty room.
Gross – why would anybody drink that? Ashley forces the martini down. Hey! She spots Audra and waves her over – I need to talk to Tucker. He’s done with you, Audra’s scorn intimidates Ashley.
Now dressed, Tucker opens the ring box and snaps it shut (Audra’s not wearing it)
No, Ashley babbles – she doesn’t want to be humiliated – I’m not who you think I am. I need to warn Tucker. Listen, please – it’s not me, it’s her – she’s pretending to love him but she wants to hurt Tucker really, really bad. She thinks it’s the only way to protect Ashley. Audra’s understandably confused – you’re Ashley – who is she? OMG, Tucker’s right – you are losing your mind. ‘So not cool’, Ashley’s insulted – you have no idea what she’s planning. ‘Not another word’, the inner-mean Ashley warns herself. Promise me you’ll keep him away from her! young-Ashley manages to get out before mean Ashley takes over.
