Sharon: How’s it looking?

Mariah: Uh, really, really scary. The weather report has all of these crazy colors and I don’t really understand what any of it means, but it seems to spell impending doom.

[ Sharon chuckles ]

Sharon: Okay, I trust your assessment.

Mariah: Now, I’m really glad that your trip to the west coast got postponed because I would not want you flying in this.

Sharon: Well, I’m a little disappointed.

Mariah: Because you’re spending the night with me? Yeah, that makes sense.

Sharon: No, that could never make me sad. I’m just disappointed I didn’t get to meet with the west coast division heads of kirsten incorporated and get them excited about the future of the company. I’ve set up video calls with them in the morning. Right now, that will have to suffice.

Mariah: That is excellent executive planning.

Sharon: Well, thank you.

[ Sharon chuckles ] The good news is I get to spend the evening checking in with you. How are you? How’s aria? Have you followed up after your first appointment with the audiologist?

Mariah: Yes, we actually have an appointment with dr. George tomorrow morning where she’s supposed to do more tests with aria and tessa was supposed to be there, but because of the weather, who knows?

Sharon: Okay, so you’ll probably know much more after that.

Mariah: Yeah. Depending on the results of the tests, they will be able to confirm a diagnosis. And then they’ll decide, you know, whether they can fit her with hearing aids. You know, if they think they’re actually going to help her. You know, tessa should really, really be there. You know, we want aria to feel double the love and double the protection.

Sharon: I’m sure she already does. Have a little faith. And the night’s not over. Things could still turn out exactly the way you want them to.

Tucker: Good evening, phyllis.

Phyllis: Tucker. Alone, I see. And then you asked heather for a good attorney. So, that doesn’t spell good tidings for you and ashley, does it?

Tucker: Are you going to offer me some comforting words?

Phyllis: I’d feel bad for you, but then I remember your proverbial hands around my neck, withholding carson, threatening my future, so no.

[ Tucker chuckles ]

Tucker: And yet, look at you now. Drinking martinis free and easy. So things all worked out.

Phyllis: What happened with ashley? What did you do to make her dump you?

Billy: I’m just glad that abby was able to get a hold of ashley. She’s worried about our sister, but now we know she’s okay.

Jack: Yeah, it’s a relief to hear from ashley, but hearing her describe her fight with tucker was infuriating.

Billy: Well, he’s a son of a bitch that’s hurt her more than once. And he’s a genuine threat. Before we talk next steps, jack, did ashley mention whether she believes her marriage to tucker is over for good or not?

Jack: Oh, I don’t see how they could come back from this. She thought he had changed, he clearly had not. He revealed his true colors.

Billy: My opinion, he did that a long time ago, but yes, I’m glad that this happened now, before they were able to start their marriage together.

Jack: We have to figure out what he may be planning and how we’re going to minimize the threat.

Billy: He’s come after jabot before, he’ll do it again. Or he may target our entire family out of revenge.

Jack: With someone like tucker mccall, it’s anyone’s guess what his next move is. I’m jonathan lawson

Mariah: Okay, I need to talk about something else. So, let’s talk about the company. It’s amazing! You and nick are going to be working together. You know, that’s awesome.

Sharon: I think so too.

Mariah: I am much more comfortable moving forward with this configuration. I mean, working for you and nick as bosses? Fabulous. Working under adam? Yeah, that was going to be a tough one.

Sharon: It does feel like a huge weight has been lifted now that adam’s not in the equation anymore.

Mariah: You and nick compliment each other.

Sharon: I think we do.

Mariah: So, uh, how is he doing on his trip? Have you talked to him?

Sharon: He checked in earlier. It’s been a huge success. The divisions are really excited about having new leadership, especially ones that are attentive, visionary.

Mariah: So, now that the dust is settling, I mean, do you have any plans moving forward. Uh, what do you want to do?

Sharon: Well, I’ve had to readjust the plans, but, um, I have so many ideas.

Mariah: Tell me.

Sharon: Okay, well, I’d like to streamline the company. I think we should focus on using the technology that kirsten creates to help other companies who need it. Like schools or medical clinics, nonprofits, even entities like new hope.

Mariah: That sounds amazing. Gosh, I’m so excited to start work. Can I? Soon, please?

Sharon: As soon as nick gets back, we’re going to finalize everything. We were all set on the office spaces, but that got put on hold because of all the chaos with newman, so once that gets back in order again, we’ll get you all set up.

Mariah: Okay, well, moving on from work, how is chance?

Sharon: Um, we saw each other earlier.

Mariah: Look at you! There it is! That very, uh, chance-related smile.

[ Sharon laughs ]

Sharon: He drove me to the airport. That was before I realized that my flight had been delayed.

Mariah: Okay, so caring, attentive, built. How perfect is this guy?

Sharon: Well, I do think I may have some competitione he’soncerned.

Mariah: What? How? I mean, who are you talking about?

Sharon: I’m just sensing that someone else may have a growing attraction to chance. Summer.

Summer: Hey, you.

Daniel: Hey.

Summer: Looks like we’re both having restless nights.

Daniel: It would appear that way. Can I buy you a drink?

Summer: Uh, yeah. I accept. Could I get a dirty vodka martini, please? Thanks. So, how is lucy?

Daniel: She’s good. She’s great. Yeah. Her and her mom are going back to lisbon tomorrow though. I guess heather needs to get back there for work.

Summer: My god. You must be so bummed.

Daniel: Mm. Yeah, I’m going to see them for breakfast tomorrow, but after that, I have no idea when the next time is I’m going to see my daughter.

Summer: Ah, that must be a terrible feeling, I– I don’t even know what I would do if kyle just left the country with harrison. I don’t– I don’t think I could handle it.

Daniel: So, nothing’s changed in that whole situation, I’m taking it.

[ Summer sighs ]

Summer: Now, we’re in process with the divorce. But hey, mom has backed off. She’s not trying to force me and kyle back together, so, I mean, that is good.

Daniel: That is good, that is great. Same for heather and me. Yeah. I mean, not that anything could ever happen between us, with us on different continents, or that it would, for that matter, ever, you know?

Summer: Mm.

Daniel: I’m worried about you. With everything?

Summer: I mean, divorce is awful, but, uh, yeah. I actually am surprisingly okay. Kyle moved on and I’m moving on and I’m ready for my next adventure.

Daniel: Mm. What kind of adventure are we talking about? Is it a romantic one?

Jack: Much as I hated the idea that tucker and ashley got married, a part of me was hoping they would ride off in the sunset and bring some calm back here.

Billy: I guess the only upsides of the situation is that ashley is free of tucker’s grip. And that she’s coming back to jabot.

Jack: Remotely, for the near future. Uh, she’s going to stay abroad and try to clear her head. It– it took her almost separating herself from this family to get to this point.

Billy: On her honeymoon, no less. You know, jack, no one would blame you for still being angry at her.

Jack: Why, because of the hell she put diane and me through?

Billy: Is it really gonna be that easy to forgive her? I mean, yes, she’s come to her senses, but she said and done some pretty hurtful things to you.

Jack: Yeah, ashley is good at that, but I attribute most of her recent behavior to tucker’s hold on her. Besides, she and I had a pretty amazing conversation as brother and sister before they took off for paris. It was a genuine rapprochement.

Billy: Well, it helps that diane saved her from choking to death. I mean, you owe someone your life, you can change your perspective pretty quickly.

Jack: I think that shook ashley to her core, made her see her whole life in a different way. And I’d like to think the conversation we had brought her closer to realizing tucker for who he really is and walking away.

Billy: Jack, you’ve always done your best to keep our family close and not play favorites and blah, blah, blah, but the truth is you and ashley, you have something special. Love-hate, sure. But special. I’ve always admired your ability to forgive and forget. Me, it’s not so easy. I tend to hold on to things I guess there’s a part of me that actually enjoys it.

Tucker: I’m not discussing ashley with you.

Phyllis: Ooh, that bad?

Tucker: There’s some other things I’d rather talk about. Actually 2,000,000 things.

Phyllis: That sounds like a setup to a joke.

Tucker: $2,000,000. That’s the insurance claim payout on your death, right? The money that stark hid somewhere.

Phyllis: How did you know that?

Tucker: And since you were not dead, at least not on the outside, I assume the insurance company’s clamoring for a payback. Which would put you in a bit of a pickle, no?

Phyllis: Why are you interested and why are you worried about me? You shou– you should be picking up the shattered pieces of your marriage.

Tucker: Have you found out where stark funneled the money? Along with half your life savings, correct?

Phyllis: I’m working on it.

Tucker: Uh-huh.

[ Tucker chuckles ] That’s what I figured. You’re nowhere close. So, what if you and i struck a deal? My a1c was up here; now, it’s down with rybelsus.

Daniel: Do you think you’re ready to start dating again?

Summer: Oh, yeah, ’cause I’m just dying to jump from one relationship to another one.

Daniel: I said dating, you said relationship.

Summer: You know what, I’m– I’m just getting over the grief for my break up with kyle and it’s taken me a while. My emotions have been all over the place, so…

Daniel: Yeah, well, it sucks, you know, knowing exactly what went wrong. But since time travel isn’t a thing, I guess you can’t really go back and fix it now, can you?

Summer: True, thank you, yes. You can’t go back and fix it, so I guess it wasn’t meant to be.

Daniel: Are you sure? You know, that you and kyle are really– you guys have come back from so much in the past. I mean, look at lily and me.

[ Summer sighs ]

Summer: No, I’m– we’re done. There’s no coming back from it.

Daniel: Okay. Well, I’m sorry.W, forward it is.

Summer: I mean, it’s gonna be awhile before I’m ready to… dive into another love story. I mean, even a hint of an attraction that I feel right now… scares me.

Daniel: So, you’ve had feelings for someone then?

Summer: Oh.

Daniel: Is it someone I know?

Summer: Sometimes, it’s just friendship. You know? Or it’s, um, gratitude, relief that I actually have somebody to talk to that’s not going to judge me. But other times… it’s more. And I find myself wondering… why is everything better when I’m talking to him?

Daniel: To who?

Summer: Ch– chance.

Daniel: Chance? Chance. Chance.

Summer: Shh!

Daniel: Chance, the cop who was after our mother.

Summer: He was just doing his job. And, you know, he was really nice about it given all the secrecy that was going on.

Daniel: Yeah, I guess you were relying on him a lot.

Summer: I was. And he was really fair and compassionate with me when, let’s face it, I was seriously bending the law.

Daniel: Mm. That’s true.

[ Summer sighs ] Isn’t he with sharon?

Summer: That is the part that I hate about this the most.

Daniel: Hm. Do you hate that you’re having feelings for him or do you hate that he can’t reciprocate?

Mariah: Summer has a thing for chance. Wait, how– how do you know this?

Sharon: It’s just a sense I got when chance and i saw her earlier.

Mariah: I did not see this coming.

Sharon: Well, chance helped her through the whole ordeal with phyllis. He became a sounding board for her and helped her sort out her feelings, so I guess it’s not surprising that she might feel a connection grow from that.

Mariah: Uh, you’re being very reasonable about this.

Sharon: Well, I don’t think there’s anything to worry about.

Mariah: Okay, so how do you feel about chance? I mean, how serious have things gotten between the two of you?

Sharon: We enjoy each other’s company a lot.

Mariah: Okay.

Sharon: It’s been fun and exciting, but, you know, at this point, who knows what’s going to happen long term for us?

Mariah: Do you feel like chance has a connection with summer?

Sharon: Um, I know he cares about her, and it’s his instinct to look out for her. That’s just the kind of man he is. Beyond that, I’m not concerned because like I said, I’m not sure how serious things are going to get between me and chance.

Mariah: Okay, but you do like him, though?

Sharon: Yeah, of course I do.

Mariah: Well, good. I just– I would hate to see summer ruin this for you because that’s kind of her mo.

Sharon: I know you don’t like summer, but right now, you have more important things to worry about and so do I. My whole focus is on this company, getting it up and running so that it will fly.

Mariah: Right. And I love that you’re being so practical about this as always, but I will say it’s very nice not to have to pretend to like summer anymore now that her and kyle are over.

[ Sharing chuckles ]

Sharon: Mariah.

Mariah: What? She’s annoying.

[ Knocking on door]

Sharon: Oh, I think th

Mariah: Oh, my gosh, oh, my gosh, you’re home! You’re home! Hi!

Tessa: Hi!

Mariah: Oh, my goodness!

Jack: When you say you struggle with forgiveness, I assume we’re talking about tucker still, right?

Billy: Tucker doesn’t deserve any grace. Not after what he’s done to our sister.

Jack: Oh, I agree. The last thing I wanted was for that man to become so ingrained in our lives, but ashley kind of forced that on us.

Billy: You know, jack, maybe we’re coming at this from the wrong direction. Instead of the defense, maybe we need to be on the offense.

Jack: You have something in mind?

Billy: We hit him first. And we hit him hard. We drive him out of town for good. I mean, what’s he doing in genoa city anyway? He came after jabot, he came after ashley, he’s not gonna leave with either one of those. He needs to be gone.

Jack: Okay, I see the value in driving him away, but here’s the thing. At this point, he does not have a weakness now that ashley’s not in his life.

Billy: I think maybe we’re missing someone. His son. If we can turn devon against tucker, we’re halfway there.

Phyllis: A deal with tucker mccall is never a good idea except for tucker mccall.

Tucker: What about a deal wherein my end of the bargain is to pay off all your debt in full? With no strings attached.

Phyllis: Why would you wanna do that?

Tucker: The goodness of my heart.

[ Phyllis laughs ]

Phyllis: There are always strings attached in a deal. Two people have to contribute. That’s what makes it an agreement.

Tucker: I know, I was being slightly facetious. There are some strings.

Phyllis: Of course. I’m not interested. At all.

Tucker: Just for the record, I wouldn’t be asking you to kill anyone. Or do any physical harm and I wouldn’t even ask you to die again. [ Laughs ] Or pretend to die again, as much as you might be tempted to, right now. No, what I would be asking for is pretty innocuous.

Phyllis: Sure.

Tucker: And we just need your exceptional it skills.

Phyllis: It’s too bad because I have an it job and I have a non-compete clause.

Tucker: That’s fantastic. Congratulations, phyllis. If only that were true. But you’re putting up a good front.

Phyllis: It is true. I’m working with sharon, nick and adam.

Tucker: That’s funny ’cause I heard the adustus-sna-newman venture fell apart when victor got his hands on it. Which would mean that your cushy new it job is no longer an option.

Phyllis: It’s not over ’til it’s over.

Tucker: Well put. But wasn’t adam your champion there? I’m guessing you haven’t heard from him in a minute. Now, he’s out of a job, leaving only nick and sharon to run the new company.

Phyllis: Well, I’ve worked with nick and sharon before.

Tucker: Yes, and do you think they’re– they’re excited about having you on board now that it’s just the two of them? Right, so, all that in mind, are you sure you’re not interested in what I have said?

Mariah: I knew I missed you, but I guess, I didn’t realize how much.

Tessa: Me too, and I made it even with all the scary color weather forecast.

Mariah: Oh, my gosh. How did you pull off this miracle?

Tessa: Well, I was determined to get here by tonight. If it took a bus, a train, a zamboni, a car, I would have rented it and driven all the way here because there was no way that I was going to miss aria’s appointment tomorrow.

Mariah: I adore you.

Tessa: So, the babysitter told me that you were here to check on your mom and I just came to see you.

Mariah: Oh, gosh.

[ Kisses smack ]

Tessa: Oh, oh, I’m sorry, we are being rude. Sharon, hi, how are you?

Sharon: Oh, I– I’m fine. Don’t worry about me. Why don’t you two go home and be together with the little one?

Tessa: What do you think? Should we, uh, head home?

Jack: I can understand you’re considering turning devon against tucker, but I am not comfortable pitting someone against their family. That is precisely what tucker aimed to do with ashley.

Billy: Yeah, well, I’m not talking about manipulation or mind games here. I’m simply talking about opening devon’s eyes to tucker’s recent behavior.

Jack: Abby has spoken to ashley. She knows her side of the story. She’s probably shared it with devon already.

Billy: And if devon talked to tucker, I’m sure tucker whitewashed everything that happened in paris. And then, he probably exonerated himself from any wrongdoing.

Jack: Yeah, that would be him.

Billy: That would be him, and then, he’s gonna paint a picture that ashley heartlessly betrayed him, and all he tried to do was love her and give her the world.

Jack: And try to wrest her away from her family.

Billy: Exactly. The way I see it, devon deserves to know the truth. In fact, we’d be doing him a favor.

Jack: I’ll– I’ll think about it, and in the meantime, I feel like getting out of here. How about I buy you a drink? Let’s go to the jazz lounge.

Billy: Sounds good.

Phyllis: I see wh you’re trying to do. I see it. This is not going to work.

Tucker: I’m simply outlining the facts of your life right now. I want you to consider me an angel on your shoulder.

Phyllis: An angel, that’s rich. I’m going to work for this, I’m going to raise the money on–

[ Tucker laughing ] I’m gonna do this legitimately.

Tucker: That should only take you, what, 10 years? Maybe, you could set up in a cave somewhere. Live like a hermit. Bring that down to five years.

Phyllis: I will do this. I am no stranger to hustling, tucker.

Tucker: Why should you have to hustle if I’m offering you $2,000,000 right now to wipe the slate clean.

Phyllis: Let me tell you something. I’ve been at the receiving end of your “hope,” and it did not go well.

Tucker: Yeah, that’s because you used adam to change the dynamics.

Phyllis: I had to get adam to help me from getting from under your thumb. That says everything, right?

Tucker: You know what I’m gonna do? I’m gonna tack on 10% just for you trouble.

Phyllis: No, I’m not accepting your deal.

Tucker: I love your negotiating.

Phyllis: I’m not negotiating with you.

Tucker: Yes, unless I see you. Come on, admit it. You’re so curious. “What does he want me to do for all that cash?” Hi, my name is tony cooper.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year restless will continue.

Daniel: You’re avoiding the question.

Summer: Maybe that’s because I don’t know what the answer is. The last thing I want to do is be the other woman.

Daniel: Hm, sure. I mean, you’ve seen that dynamic and you’ve been a part of it,

Summer: Okay, but I don’t even know how serious sharon and chance are. But yeah, I did just get out of a situation where kyle slept with someone else the second we were separated, and it was awful. [ Sighs ]

Daniel: You’re really torn up about this, huh?

Summer: I don’t want anybody to get hurt, including myself.

Daniel: Mm. [ Chuckles ] You know what I think? I think that you’re reacting this way because your feelings for chance are a bit more complicated than you’re willing to admit.

Summer: I know, okay? You’re right. So maybe, the answer to the question is… it’s both. I hate that I’m feeling this way and… I hate that chance isn’t available.

Phyllis: Well, I am done here.

Tucker: Well, you know where to find me when you change your mind.

Phyllis: That wasn’t what it looked like.

Jack: I don’t care. I’ve come to expect very little of you these days.

Phyllis: Are you still furious with me?

Jack: I don’t really give you that much thought.

Phyllis: Okay, point taken.

Tucker: A shot of rye please. Thank you.

Jack: Well, I’ve spoken to ashley, I know the truth now.

Tucker: You mean, her version of it.

Jack: I don’t really care what went down, I’m just relieved you’re hold over ashley is finally broken and she’s come to her senses.

Tucker: I love her, jack. That’s real.

Jack: You blew it, at though why you thought it was a good idea to come back to genoa city right after your marriage blew up. What are you up to?

Billy: Hey.

Phyllis: Hey. Hi.

Billy: You okay?

Phyllis: Yeah.

Billy: Okay, you just seem a little frazzled.

Phyllis: [ Laughs ] Yeah. Well, I just saw tucker downstairs, so…

Billy: Oh, that must have been the highlight of your day.

Phyllis: Then, I saw jack. He’s not a fan.

Billy: Okay, I take that back.

Phyllis: [ Laughs ] Right. What about you, billy? Are you not a fan too?

Billy: I got no beef with you. I’m genuinely happy that you’re not in jail and that you’ve been exonerated.

Phyllis: Thank you. Not everybody feels that way.

Billy: There’s always gonna be haters, okay? Don’t let them get in your way. And most importantly, stay out of your own way.

[ Phyllis chuckles ]

Phyllis: That is correct.

Billy: Yeah, it’s not easy, is it?

Phyllis: No, it’s easier said than done.

Billy: Don’t let anyone or anything drag you back down.

Phyllis: Hey, um, speaking of which, what’s the deal with tucker and ashley? Did they just implode?

Billy: I think so. I don’t know all the details.

Phyllis: Okay, so why is he still in town? Why doesn’t he just leave?

Billy: I don’t know. I wish he would. Jack and I both agree that, uh, it can’t be good.

Phyllis: It’s interesting.

Billy: Avoid him at all costs, okay? For your own good.

Phyllis: Yeah, you’re probably right.

Tucker: I have a life in the world outside of ashley, jack. I came back for my son and my grandson.Ell, iope, for your sake, that’s your only motive.

Tucker: Why, because you care about me so much?

Jack: No, because if, for some reason, you feel slighted enough to want revenge, you and I are going to have a problem.

Tucker: There you go again.

Jack: Whatever happened between you and ashley is entirely your fault.

Tucker: Were you there?

Jack: I have no doubt you drove her away. Word has it, you showed her who you really are. She realized she couldn’t turn her back on her family or her father’s company. And what, you felt diminished, so you reverted to form.

Tucker: It’s funny. In my version–

Jack: I don’t need to hear your version. I’m fine knowing ashley’s side of the story.

Tucker: I’m sure you are.

Jack: Go away, tucker. Reinvent yourself somewhere else.

Tucker: But all the action’s here, jack.

Jack: If you are planning anything vindictive toward my family, you think again. I will do whatever it takes to protect them.

Tucker: Okay. You know what? You might be right. You might be the only level-headed abbott left.

Phyllis: Hey, sharon, hi. My apologies for the late hour.

Sharon: Phyllis, um, you didn’t tell me you were coming and security didn’t alert me.

Phyllis: Well, I mean, they all know me, so…

Sharon: Oh. What do you want?

Phyllis: Um, I want to know what’s going on with sna.U’re calling it still, right? I– I’ve heard– well, I’ve heard massive rumblings and I just want to know where I stand job-wise.

Sharon: Can we talk about this later?

Phyllis: Well, I mean, we can, except, I just need to know. I feel like I deserve an answer.

Sharon: I suppose that’s true.

Phyllis: I mean, I know that adam preemptively hired me as it head and he didn’t tell you and nick first, but you seemed to be okay with it.

Sharon: Well, I won’t speak for nick, but I came to accept it.

Phyllis: Okay, good. So, adam is out. And it’s just you and nick and you’re separating yourself from newman and running the company together, just the two of you.

Sharon: That’s the plan.

Phyllis: Our history lingers, doesn’t it?

Sharon: Well, we’ve made some progress, but I know what you’re saying.

Phyllis: Yeah, I was hoping that your opinion about working with me shifted, that’s all.

Sharon: Well, a lot is in flux.

Phyllis: Am i out of a job, sharon?

Mariah: Here we are. Alone at last. Sometimes, the lows of bipolar depression

[ Tessa chuckles ]

Mariah: Did I tell you how much I missed you?

[ Tessa laughs ] All right, how was the marchetti photo shoot?

Tessa: Ooh, um, it was pretty brutal, honestly. I mean, everyone was so nice. I– I was just kind of a hot mess.

Mariah: That’s so funny because so was I, just in a different state across the country.

Tessa: I mean, yeah, I just– I had a really hard time concentrating. I could barely focus. I mean, all I could think about was getting back home to you and aria.

Mariah: While you were gone, I tried to entertain her with that silly little dance thing…

[ Tessa laughs ] …That you do, and guess what? She was not impressed. Not at all, complete failure.

[ Both chuckling ]

Tessa: Are you as nervous about this appointment tomorrow as I am?

Mariah: [ Sighs ] Um… I go back and forth between controlled terror and numb, and then, I go back again, you know. I just keep thinking what if it’s worse than we’ve imagined. What if the hearing aids don’t work at all?

Tessa: No. We do as sharon and devon said and we take it one step at a time. We’re unstoppable together.

Mariah: I really don’t want to crowd you, but is it okay if we’re just never ever apart again?

[ Tessa laughs ] Please. Pretty please.

Tessa: You’re stuck with me forever.

Tucker: That would be lovely. Thank you very much.

Woman: Mm-hmm.

Phyllis: Tucker, wait. I’m curious. What exactly do you expect for your investment?

Jack: You were right. We can’t sit on this. We gotta go on offence.

Billy: Good. So, we have a plan.

Jack: And we’re going to be relentless. We get devon on our side, and then, we run tucker out of here for good.

Tucker: So, I need you to hack into a certain business and gather some information for me.

Phyllis: Okay, I assume it’s not your business, therefore, it is illegal.
