Victor: Tucker McCall. I want you to find out why he suddenly returned to Genoa City.

Michael: [Chuckles] From what I hear, he made quite the grand re-entrance. He certainly wasn’t sneaking around or being private about his plans. What is it you want me to dig into?

Victor: He says he’s here to mend fences with Ashley, to reconnect with his son Devon, and meet his grandson. I don’t trust any of this. But I’m gonna make sure that he will not do any harm to Ashley or that boy.

Michael: That’s very chivalrous of you. I imagine Ashley could hold her own and since Tucker would have to go through Abby to get to Dominic, I’m guessing the little guy is pretty well protected, too. But what ulterior motives do you suspect the man of having?

***********”**********”””””***”*

Tucker: Right. So, I went back to the company and — and thrill seeking, which led to the accident. But it all forced me to — to realize what I’ve been missing, the love and the life that I had right in front of me and I just let slip away. And when you ended the marriage, you said to me, “the only way i would ever trust that you’re not gonna hurt me again is if you went through some kind of miraculous change, if you became some completely different man.” Do you remember that?

Ashley: Mm.

Tucker: And you didn’t believe it, right?

Ashley: I remember it very well. I remember it.

Tucker: Well, I’m here to tell you it’s possible ’cause I stand before you a completely different man.

Tucker: Hello, Nikki. Anything interesting going on in the world?

Nikki: My, my, Tucker McCall. You just keep popping up everywhere, don’t you?

Tucker: Yeah, sorry we didn’t get a chance to have a chat at your granddaughter’s event.

Nikki: I don’t think you’re the least bit sorry. You were too busy making a spectacle of yourself.

Tucker: Mm. I wouldn’t put it quite that way.

Nikki: No? How would you describe it?

Tucker: A spirited homecoming.

[Both scoff] Memorable one at that, no?

Nikki: Oh, yes. Even when you’re infuriating, you are charming. Some things never change.

*******************************

Diane: I agree that Tucker’s gift was all wrong, but it’s obvious why he chose it.

Phyllis: Oh. Really? Please tell me what was obvious. I’d love to get your take on this.

Diane: Well, he made a point of reminding everyone that John Abbott had a Bentley. You know, clearly, he was trying to score points, calling back the beloved family patriarch, trying to impress everybody with his generosity and thoughtfulness, as if that could erase the bad taste he left in everybody’s mouth.

Billy: You don’t like your blueberry muffin? I’ll get you a different kind.

Johnny: No dad, this one’s fine.

Billy: What about a bagel? I can see they have a doughnut over there.

Johnny: Dad. I said this one’s fine. Guess you and mom have been reading the same how-to handbook.

Billy: How to what?

Johnny: “How to help your child accept his bio mom.” Mom already talked me into a huge dinner last night and made me eat a big meal before coming here, even though she knew I was meeting you for breakfast.

Billy: And why do you think she did that?

Johnny: Obviously, stuffing your kid with so much food that he can’t feel anymore is a part of the handbook.

***************”**************************

Johnny: No, we’re actually meaning at Chancellor Park to do some sort of nature thing.

Billy: Okay, cool. Well, I’ll walk with you.

Johnny: Uh, no, we can skip that, too.

Billy: What’s going on here? You gonna be embarrassed of me when I call out and yell out, “Johnny, I love you, buddy, have a good day,” in front of all your friends?

Johnny: Don’t even think about it.

Billy: How are they gonna know if I don’t announce it to everybody?

Johnny: I’d rather they didn’t, dad.

Billy: Hey. Hey. I love you.

Chelsea: Sharon… I’m sorry, I, um — I was so lost in my — in my thoughts, I don’t remember ordering this.

Sharon: You didn’t. You just looked like you needed it.

Chelsea: Oh. Thank you.

********************************

Tucker: Yeah. Yeah, it’s been a while.

Devon: Yeah, I know. Well, when was the last time? At that Ashram in Thailand?

Tucker: That’s right. So, it’s been years. We have a lot to catch up on. You have a son?

Devon: Yeah, I do. Yeah. His name’s Dominic.

Tucker: Wow. That’s terrific. Of course, that makes me a grandfather.

[Laughs] Grandpa Tucker. Boy, if I could… and look at this — this newly merged company the two of you run.

Lily: Yeah.

Tucker: And Lily, would you like to join us for dinner? The three of us could compare notes.

Lily: Um, well, thank you for the offer. I’m actually — I’m meeting Billy at Society, so I think, in this way, four would be a crowd. But… [Chuckles]

Devon: That’s a good point. Yeah.

Tucker: It’s just you and I, then. You in?

Devon: Uh, sure. Yeah, why not?

Nick: ‘Sup?

Sally: ‘Sup?

Nick: Yeah. Looked it up online. Apparently it’s short for “what’s up?”

Sally: Oh. That — that’s what that means?

Nick: Mm-hmm. I really just wanted to come by and congratulate you for the latest research reports.

Sally: Thanks.

Nick: Well done.

Sally: Well, that is just step one. I am going to build on the momentum.

Nick: Alright. Well, carry on, then.

Tucker: Okay, okay. Hey, victor. Long time. Oh, you’re looking good, man. You been hitting the heavy bag?

Victor: You know what they say. Strong body, strong mind.

Tucker: Yeah, that’s right. That’s right. It’s important if you want to stay on top of the competition. I see it didn’t take you long to seek out yours.

[Both laugh] Yeah.

Victor: I see your ego hasn’t taken a hit

Tucker: Ah, come on in. Make yourself at home.

Diane: Just what the hell was that insanity? A helicopter on the Abbott lawn? What were you thinking?

Tucker: Well, I was in a hurry. I didn’t want to miss the festivities.

[Chuckles] And I do enjoy making an entrance.

Diane: This isn’t just about you.

Summer: You like puzzles. I have one for you. We keep seeing my mother and my grandmother with their heads together. What are they up to?

Kyle: Secretly plotting to make you happy, just like I am. Eyes here on the handsome guy you just pledged your troth to.

Summer: Okay, I got to be honest. I-I don’t know what a troth is, so I might want to keep it for myself.

Kyle: Mm-hmm. Mm.

Summer: Okay. You convinced me. I’ll share it.

Noah: We are here to bear witness to Summer and Kyle’s love. Now, I haven’t always had the best understanding of what love should look like. But when I see these two and how hard they fought to be together, to stay together, suddenly it all makes sense to me, wanting the best for one another, growing together, and trusting in each other and that love. It doesn’t get greater than that.

Tessa: I can’t sing today for the happy couple, but I’ve still been writing. And when I woke up this morning and thought about today, i jotted down some lyrics. “We were children together. We grew up together. We went our separate ways. But nothing can keep us apart, not even an ocean, because our hearts belong to each other.

*****************”***

Connor: Johnny and I are cousins, so we’re already family. Are you saying you want to be family with Johnny now, want to be his mother all of a sudden? Why? Did I do something wrong?

Chelsea: No. Connor, no. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. I am so proud of you. I’m so proud to be your mom. None of that’s changed. I-I thought you’d see this as a good thing.

Connor: Are you serious right now? What’s good about it?

Chelsea: Well, it’s a way to get closer to Johnny. You know, you can get to know him better as brothers.

Connor: I don’t get it. Why are you making it sound like this is about me? It’s about you.

Chelsea: Connor!

Connor: If you didn’t need to be with Johnny before, why do you need to be with him now?

Chelsea: I-I don’t need to. I just — I hoped and I thought that —

Connor: How come you never told me about Johnny until now?

Chelsea: Well, Billy and Victoria, your father and I — we wanted to wait until you boys were old enough to understand.

Connor: I don’t understand, and I don’t want to talk about this anymore.

Chelsea: Sweetheart —

Connor: Take me back to the ranch. I want to go home

Noah: Babe, you have got to try this éclair. I saved you a bite.

Mariah: I love pastries as much as the next girl, but we have a lot to do.

Allie: Oh, my gosh, this is delicious. It’s super light.

Noah: Right? I think it’s the best I ever had.

Allie: Mm-hmm.

Traci: Mrs. Martinez picks them up at a little shop over on Hill Street.

Mariah: Okay, focus, people. There is a lot to do, and we have tasks to complete.

Noah: Chill. We got plenty of time.

Allie: What needs to be done, Mariah?

Mariah: Uh, okay, well, somebody’s got to talk to the wedding planner and figure out the last-minute details, and also the flowers for the driveway haven’t been delivered yet.

Noah: Hey, Trace, what’s the name of that bakery again?

Traci: It’s called Hill Street Buns.

Mariah: Why are we talking about pastries?! There is a lot to do, so please listen to me.

Tessa: Hey, babe, relax. They’re just getting in the festive spirit.

Noah: Yeah, I’m all about the festive spirit.

Phyllis: Thank you, Nikki. Thank you so much.

Nikki: Oh, you’re very welcome. I’m happy to do it.

Jack: And I have some éclairs to sample. Bye.

Nick: When you asked me about Sally before, I told you it was none of your business, yet here you are. You followed me here just to repeat your accusations?

Adam: Well, sometimes you have to ask the question more than once to get the truth, Nick.

Nick: Your ex can do whatever the hell she wants, and that does include having a business dinner with her boss.

Adam: Mm. Well, the way you two were looking at each other, I highly doubt you were discussing Newman Media’s profit margins.

Nick: Just letting that imagination run wild, huh?

Adam: [Sighs] Listen, this is ridiculous. Why do you keep avoiding the question? Why don’t you just come clean, Nick, that you and Sally are sleeping together? And you — you just couldn’t wait to make your move, huh?

Nick: Jealousy is not a good look for you, Adam. And I advise you to tread carefully.

Adam: Nick, she’s using you.

Nick: Yeah?

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Nick: For what?

Adam: To get back at me. See, you’re the rebound guy. I broke her heart, and she went to the next Newman in line. Now, you must know that, but you just decided to go along with it.

Nick: You don’t know what you’re talking about. If you think that’s what’s going on, then you don’t know me or Sally very well.

*********************************

Sally: Okay. Well, I would appreciate that because I could really use a friend right now.

Chloe: Yeah. What kind? Like, what kind of friend? Like, the kind that, you know, is, you know, really supportive? Or the kind that offers, like, a ton of opinions? Because I just need to know before I go into this, so I don’t screw it up. So, like, how long has this been going on between you and Nick?

Sally: It’s brand-new. And — and — and it’s not even something I was looking for and certainly was not expecting. It just was out of the blue. But, oh, my god, Chloe, it has just been mind-blowing, like —

Chloe: Okay. Uh, you know, over-sharing. I…

Sally: Okay, look, I don’t know what it is, okay? We’re not over-analyzing it. We’re not putting a label on it. It’s just, all I know is that he’s honest and charming and

[Laughs] So funny. And he listens to what I have to say, and he respects my opinions. Oh, my god, and, Chloe…

[Chuckles]

Chloe: No. Please don’t. Please don’t. Just don’t.

Sally: [Sighs] All I was gonna say that I’m genuinely happy when I’m with him

Chelsea: Why don’t you and Connor make it a father/son trip? I’m sure he’d enjoy spending quality time with you since you parked him at the ranch with his grandparents.

Adam: I didn’t park our son, Chelsea. I see him every day.

Chelsea: It wasn’t a slam, Adam. You needed space from Victor. I get it.

Adam: Something really is wrong, isn’t it? I’m guessing that caffeine and sugar aren’t going to help. So…how about I buy you dinner and we can talk about it?

Chelsea: No, thanks. I’m not hungry. And I don’t feel like talking. I’ve been talking a lot — all day, actually — and it doesn’t seem like anyone cares what i have to say, so…

Adam: Okay. Well, then do it for me. I could use the company, and maybe some good food will perk up your appetite.

Chelsea: I doubt that.

Adam: I would consider it a favor. I’m tired of sitting at the bar, eating alone, tired of room service. Besides, Connor has been hounding me about this new console, some virtual-reality thing.

Chelsea: Yeah, he’s been nagging me about that, too.

Adam: Mm-hmm. Well, I’m a little leery about him gaming so much. It could cut into his studying time.

Chelsea: Yeah, I mean, i guess we could make it work. We just have to set strict limits. But I’m inclined to say no because a distraction like that can be a slippery slope.

Adam: Well, whatever we do, i think it’s important to present a united front.

Chelsea: Agreed

******************************************

Nick: Thank you. So, are you a chocoholic?

Sally: Yes. But not to the exclusion of anything else on this menu. The desserts here are fabulous.

Nick: Yes, they are.

Sally: You pick something, and I will just steal a bite.

Nick: Bread pudding with the bourbon sauce, two spoons, no stealing.

Sally: Perfect. Alright. My turn to ask you a question.

Sally: You just did, about my dessert preference. Sorry, but you have reached your question limit for the evening.

Nick: [Chuckles]

Sally: I’m kidding. Ask me anything. I am an open book.

Nick: But only about your career — because we are keeping this professional.

Phyllis: Oh, my goodness. Look at you, showing up to work with a big basket for your bosses. It may look like you’re trying to get special treatment.

Jack: Wow. Beautiful basket. Are you giving or receiving?

Phyllis: Everybody knows that Diane is a taker, not a giver.

Diane: I’m giving. Since we’ve decided to turn over a new leaf, I thought I would extend an olive branch in the form of pastries.

Phyllis: Sugary sweet.

Diane: [Laughs] I realize it’s not the most subtle peace offering. I didn’t realize how big it was when I ordered it. But, um, Phyllis, you probably shouldn’t eat all of that by yourself. But you can look at the size as a symbol of my determination to win back your trust and forgiveness.

Phyllis: Your timing is impeccable, isn’t it? You just showed up with this huge, unmissable basket right as Jack was coming out of his office. Yeah, that’s not subtle at all.

*********************

Noah: I know. You know, I’m really glad we didn’t have to put the event description on the invites.

Allie: [Laughs]

Noah: That would have been a tough one. You know, Glam Club’s soft launch/non-bachelor/bachelorette Summer/Kyle pre-vow renewal party, something.

Allie: Yeah. Yeah. That’s a little bit of a word salad.

Nate: I get the feeling that you’re sharper on no sleep than most IPO advisors are after eight hours.

Audra: [Chuckles] I’ll take the compliment. Sometimes, I do calculate profit/loss statements in my head to help me drift off.

Adam: Well, no time like the present. Why don’t we do it together?

Chelsea: Because it’s not a good time for me, Adam. I’m having a bad day. Why are you pushing this?

Adam: Just thought it might be fun.

Chelsea: You know, when i asked you if I could take Connor away for a little while, you accused me of using my son to fix me. And, what, now you’re proposing this family outing, what, as a way to fix whatever’s wrong with me this week?

Adam: That is not what I’m doing at all.

Chelsea: Well, then maybe you’re trying to fill a hole in your own life. I would never use my son to make my life better. I just want to love him and take care of him. Why can’t anyone understand that?
