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.

Sally: [ Chuckles ]

Chloe: I just saw nick leaving. So, I assume that’s the reason for that look on your face.

Sally: He just popped his head in to say that he liked the research reports, which was very sweet of him. But then I remembered the data was about a website rebranding that adam and I launched back when we were in perfect sync.

Chloe: I know. It can get confusing.

Sally: A little bit.

Chloe: But you’re doing it. You know? You are. You’re doing all the right things. You laid down the law with adam, told him that you were moving on. You even admitted that something happened with nick. So you need to just keep on doing that, girl. But if you crack open that adam door again, you’re just gonna be looking for trouble.

Sally: You think I’m gonna get sucked back in?

Chloe: [ Sighs ] Maybe. But now that adam knows the truth, I mean, things could get really ugly.

Sally: [ Sighs ]

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] Hey. So, listen —

Adam: No. You listen to me. What the hell were you thinking?

Noah: So, we want everyone to feel welcome and taken care of. So that means the drinks — they should come out quickly but still be made with care. So, if at any point you’re feeling overwhelmed or anything, just let me know and I’ll find someone to back you up.

Allie: Could I speak to the manager, please?

Noah: How can I help you, miss?

Allie: Oh, just wanted to tell you that this club is incredible.

Noah: That’s what I like to hear.

Allie: Mm. Is that the way that you greet all your customers?

Noah: No. Just you.

Allie: Good. Let’s keep it that way.

Noah: Well, I’m glad you could make it to the opening night.

Allie: Well, where else would I be?

Noah: I don’t know why. I feel kind of anxious. I didn’t expect this to be so nerve-racking.

Allie: It’s gonna be great. Not only is this club your baby, but it’s also already the hottest place in town.

Noah: Okay, I don’t know if we can go that far, considering we just opened tonight. You know, the other night — that was just a private party. This is the real test.

[ Sighs ]

Phyllis: Oh, come on. Don’t leave me waiting. My head’s gonna explode. What information do you have on diane?

Nikki: Well, it has to do with the car that she was tooling around L.A. In. Now, I couldn’t tell the exact model from the photo that deacon gave me, but victor’s investigators could. And guess what.

Phyllis: What?

Nikki: The bentley that tucker gave summer and kyle today is the exact same make and model as the car that deacon saw her in.

Diane: Don’t answer it.

Tucker: I don’t think that’s gonna work.

[ Knock on door ]

Victor: Mccall, you’re beginning to piss me off. I know you’re in there.

Tucker: Just a minute!

Diane: Victor cannot know that we’re together. He cannot find us. He can’t know that we have any connection whatsoever.

Tucker: He won’T. Come on.

Diane: Please, please don’t make a game out of this. I am pleading with you.

Tucker: Just get in there and keep quiet.

Diane: Tucker —

Tucker: I’ll handle it.

Diane: [ Sighs ] What makes the l’oréal vitamin c serum different?

provided by…

Phyllis: Identical bentleys. Okay, well, that’s not a coincidence. What does this mean? I mean, were diane and tucker hooking up in los angeles? Did they rekindle some sort of romance or something?

Nikki: I don’t know. Maybe. But I’ve been thinking about this. The time leading up to diane’s “death,” tucker had completely abandoned her, so I — I can’t imagine her ever reaching out to him.

Phyllis: Yeah, but diane’s desperate. She is so desperate. And she’ll do anything, no matter how unpleasant, how despicable.

Nikki: Yeah, god knows that’s true. Alright, let’s say she did reach out to him. Why on earth would he fall for her charms again?

Phyllis: Ugh. Her “charms.” Who could ever find diane appealing? Seriously. Tucker can do so much better than her.

Diane: Get rid of him quickly.

Tucker: You’re really not in a position to tell me what to do right now.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

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: Oh. Come on in. Sorry. Please. I’d offer you a drink, but i don’t have any of your top-shelf tequila in my minibar. But, uh, make yourself comfortable. I’d love to catch up with you.

Chelsea: You’re mad that i talked to connor.

Adam: He called me. Really upset, chelsea.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] The conversation didn’t go as well as I’d hoped.

Adam: Why did it even happen at all? Why would you tell connor that johnny is his half-brother without me being there? What were you thinking?

Chelsea: Hey, can you calm down, please? I already feel bad enough as it is.

Adam: Whose fault is that, chelsea?

Chelsea: Well, adam, i actually waited for you at the park so we could tell him together, and you never showed up because you were stuck in a meeting.

Adam: Okay.

Chelsea: This monumental moment in our son’s life, and you chose business.

Adam: Okay, that is not fair. I assumed that you would wait for me until you dropped a bomb like this on him. It never even crossed my mind that you would tell him without me being there. I mean, we discuss everything — his school trips, vacations, dentist appointments. But when it comes to something this monumental in his young life, what do you do? You just go solo?

Chelsea: It couldn’t wait any longer, okay? The clock was ticking. Johnny already knew the truth. So I was scared he was gonna accidentally tell connor, bumping into him at school, sending him a text.

Adam: Then you tell the school what is going on. Or you take away his phone. You don’t take away my right to be there for my son when he needs me.

Chelsea: I’m sorry, okay? It was something I felt I had to do.

Adam: Why? Because things went so poorly with johnny?

Chelsea: [ Scoffs ] I can’t believe you would just throw that in my face. I did what I thought was right for johnny and connor. I am just trying to be a good mom to both boys.

Adam: Really, chelsea? Because it seems like the only person you have been concerned with lately is yourself. Neither one of those boys had any question about their family history. There was no reason to tell them anything.

Chelsea: Why are you talking like I went completely rogue here? I spoke to victoria and billy about this way beforehand, extensively. They agreed to it.

Adam: But it was your idea.

Chelsea: So, what are you saying? I forced them into it? I persuaded them to do it? It was my influence?

Adam: How would I know that? How would I know that when i wasn’t able to be included in any of these conversations that impacted my son?

Chelsea: Okay, maybe you should have been part of the conversation, but at the time, my concern was johnny because he is the person discovering that I’m his mom.

Adam: [ Sighs ] Chelsea, you really have to stop calling yourself johnny’s mom.

Chelsea: I am technically johnny’s mom. I gave birth to him.

Adam: From that moment onward, victoria was his mom, and that was a decision that you made.

Chelsea: Because that was the best decision at the time, adam, but things have changed.

Adam: Yes, things have changed. You have a son of your own, and he should have been the focus through this whole thing.

Chelsea: [ Breathes deeply ]

Nick: What is going on here? Hi, my name’s steve.

Sally: I would never underestimate adam. And I know things are different now that he knows something went down between me and nick, but i refuse to live in fear of what he might do. You know, I have to let it go and just put him out of my mind.

Chloe: Mm. So, you’re gonna focus on nick now?

Sally: [ Scoffs ] I wouldn’t say that I’m focusing on him. I’m just trying to live in the present moment, enjoy it, you know?

[ Stammers ] Things are fun and maybe progressing, and I have no idea where it’ll go.

Chloe: Well, if it’s a choice between adam and nick, I mean, you know who I would vote for.

Sally: It’s just wild how completely opposite the brothers are from one another. I mean, nick — he has such a sweet soul.

Chloe: And adam is evil.

Sally: I was going to say he has a more dangerous edge, but, no, he’s not all bad. And underneath what seems to be a tough exterior, he actually has a softer side. He’s actually very sensitive.

Chloe: Okay. So, we’re defending adam now?

Sally: [ Sighs ] Sorry. No. I — I don’t even know I brought his name back up.

Chloe: Because you’re right in the middle between both brothers. And that is not a good place to be.

Adam: Look, stay out of this, nick. We are discussing a private family issue.

Nick: It seems like chelsea’s upset. I’m not leaving this alone until I know she’s okay.

Chelsea: Thank you, nick. I’ll be alright. What’s done is done.

Adam: Look, chelsea, just promise me you will not make any more unilateral decisions regarding our son.

Chelsea: Connor will be just fine.

Nick: You know, if you wanted to have a private conversation like that, maybe you should have picked someplace other than the coffeehouse to do it.

Adam: Hey, you’re not getting off that easy, nick.

Nick: Look, you need to take some things out on someone, that’s fine. It’s not gonna be me. Pick someone else.

Adam: Look, I just have one question. Why is it suddenly your mission in life to interfere in every aspect of my life?

Tucker: You don’t mind if i pour myself a drink, do you?

Victor: No, no. Go ahead. So, what are you doing in genoa city?

Tucker: Well, uh, my late mother used to live here, and, um, I have a general fondness for the town, you know.

Victor: You’ve been gone for a long time. So, why now?

Tucker: Well, actually, I’m here to visit someone we have in common, someone we both care about — dominic. I want to meet my first grandson. And I want to spend some time with devon.

Victor: [ Chuckles ] You don’t give a damn about your family relations, do you, tucker? Otherwise, you’d have visited devon first of all, right? Instead of crashing one of jack abbott’s pathetically boring parties. In a helicopter, no less.

[ Laughs ] So, what’s your real agenda? My husband and I have never been more active.

Nikki: According to victor’s investigators, private image financed young artists in the U.K., And their main benefactor drew funds for that through a bank in los angeles.

Phyllis: Okay. So, you think the main benefactor could be tucker.

Nikki: Well, I don’t know for sure, but the name of the fund is wild beauty, incorporated.

Phyllis: “Beauty”? Yeah. The nickname that john abbott had for ashley.

Nikki: Uh-huh, and she is supposedly the reason why tucker crashed the vow renewal.

Phyllis: Wow. Okay, so, we have tucker and diane. I mean, what does this mean? Were they — were they together in los angeles and then he wants to fund up-and-coming artists? I mean…

Nikki: Well, I don’t know. I mean, his business interests have always been international.

Phyllis: Is there any evidence, beyond the name, connecting tucker to this?

Nikki: His name is not on the investor list, but that doesn’t mean anything.

Phyllis: Yeah, but it does — because you know tucker. He’s a braggart. I mean, he would want to be connected to funding young artists.

Nikki: Well, that is true, but modesty has never been one of his strong suits, so that just makes me think he definitely has a secret agenda.

Phyllis: Yeah. I mean, there are a lot of pieces to this puzzle. We just have to put them together. I mean, there’s tucker, there’s diane, tucker’s obsession with ashley, and broke british artists.

Nikki: Oh, my god. I know who might be able to help us — noah. I mean, he was a young artist in london. Maybe he has heard of this charity and can give us some clues.

Noah: Hey. Sorry I’ve been running around. You doing okay?

Allie: Yeah, I’m doing totally fine. Don’t worry about me. Tonight is your big night. And I found the perfect little spot to people-watch.

Noah: People seem like they’re having a good time, huh?

Allie: Yeah. No, absolutely. How does it look from your perspective?

Noah: It’s pretty smooth, honestly. Actually, I think I have time for a break. Do you want to dance?

Allie: Oh, yeah? Are you sure you have time?

Noah: If my staff needs me, they know where to find me.

Allie: Well, only if I’m not keeping you from anything important.

Noah: The only thing I’m worried about right now is dancing with my beautiful girlfriend. Oh, thank you.

Allie: I have to say, hearing that never gets old.

Noah: [ Chuckles ]

Tucker: Eh, I’m spending a lot less time on hidden agendas these days, since I went on my spiritual journey.

Victor: [ Chuckles ] Pariahs like you never change, tucker.

Tucker: You’re still so cynical, victor. I think some enlightenment could do wonders for you.

Victor: Oh, yeah. I bet you have some ashram in mind, right?

Tucker: Sure.

Victor: Oh, yeah, yeah, some faraway place in tibet or wherever.

Tucker: I know the exact address.

Victor: Well, you know… I know who the hell I am.

Tucker: I know that. And I know better than to try to change your mind.

Victor: Right.

Tucker: [ Chuckles ]

Victor: You know, you’re not the only one who decided to make this week home week in genoa city. Diane jenkins showed up.

Tucker: Ah, yeah.

Victor: Yes. She said she was on the straight and narrow now. But I believe her transformation about as much as I believe yours.

Tucker: Yeah, I actually saw diane at the abbotts. She looked well, but I’m in no position to say one way or another whether her, uh — her turnaround is legit. I don’t know anything about it — or her, for that matter — anymore. But what is important is that you know there’s nothing for you or your family to worry about from me.

Victor: And you think I’ll take your word for it?

Tucker: Uh, I don’t know. Would you believe anything i told you at this point?

Victor: [ Laughs ] Tucker mccall. My god. That time at the ashram or wherever the hell you were did you lot of good. You have a sense of humor, actually.

Tucker: Yeah.

Victor: I like that.

Tucker: You have to.

Victor: Right.

Tucker: Well, I’ll tell you the truth, and you can believe me or not.

Victor: Ah.

Tucker: Um…I’m here because I want to reconnect with my son. And the reason I haven’t approached devon is because, well, I’m not really sure how to go about it, truthfully. Um, we’ve grown apart over the years. There’s no real animus or anything like that, at least not on my end. But there’s definitely some distance that will need to be bridged, and so when I do approach him, I want to make sure I do it the most respectful way possible.

Victor: May I make a suggestion?

Tucker: Please.

Victor: Don’t do it in a damn helicopter.

Tucker: [ Laughs ] Yeah, that’s good advice. I knew you were gonna give me good advice, victor. Well, hell, you know better than anyone how tricky things can get between a father and son.

Victor: Uh-huh.

Adam: I’m not interfering in anything, adam. I try to keep a healthy distance from all aspects of your life. For you to assume otherwise is pretty damn arrogant, but not surprising.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] You know what? You’re right.

Nick: What do you mean, I’m right? What is that?

Adam: No. I’m being real. Me thinking that you would care enough about my life to meddle in it was very arrogant of me. Look, no more accusations. I actually wanted to talk to you about some things that have been going on, you know, like we were able to do for a little while after faith’s transplant.

Nick: Alright. Sit down.

Adam: What you walked in on was not just some casual blow-up between me and chelsea. It was about her telling connor about johnny without me being there.

Nick: [ Sighs ] She shouldn’t have done that. I’m surprised she did. I can understand why you’re so worked up.

Adam: Yeah. Connor is confused, and he’s upset. I’d be with him right now, but he insisted on going to a sleepover that had already been planned. So, I don’t know. Maybe I should go pick him up.

Nick: No. No. Just give him some space if that’s what he wants. Talk to him in the morning.

Adam: Well, the situation is complicated for all of us, but for johnny and connor, it has to be extremely overwhelming.

Nick: Yeah, it’s a difficult thing to navigate.

Adam: Mm-hmm. I know you can understand the dynamics at play.

Nick: I’m sure chelsea’s doing the best she can. I know when I talked to her about johnny, she got pretty emotional. But I shouldn’t have jumped to conclusions that you were in the wrong.

Adam: Well, I would like to think that chelsea meant well, but I just saw connor so distressed and I lost it, so…

Nick: It’s tough. My heart goes out to him. He’s a great kid.

Adam: Yes, he is. Look, there has been a lot of conflict between us lately, and I think it would be good if we got to the root cause of it.

Nick: [ Sighs ] Look, if you’re gonna bring up sally, just don’T.

Adam: We need to talk about it, nick.

Nick: Why?

Adam: Because I’m still in love with sally. If you’re on medicare, remember,

“The young and the restless”

will continue. Coverage, care, get it all.

Adam: Look, my feelings for sally haven’t changed just because she’s hurt and trying to push me away. I know that I’m the reason that she’s hurting, yes, and I take blame for that. I have a lot of regrets about what I did. But I still love her. And when we were together, i could envision a future with her, and I can still see that. The bottom line is I miss her and I want her back. And I don’t think her feelings for me have just evaporated. I see the way she looks at me. Something is still there.

Nick: I think you need to listen to what she’s been telling you. I think she’s made herself pretty clear.

Adam: Yeah, I heard what she said. But you know as well as I do people don’t always say what’s in their hearts. I’m an example of that. I told her that I thought moving on was the best thing for us, but I didn’t mean a word of it.

Nick: Well, to be fair, i think, uh, most people are a lot more straightforward than you are.

Adam: True. But, look, I’m trying to be open and honest now with you. So I have to ask — do you think you could ever love sally? Have you ever considered a future with her? Or even thought past the now? Because if you haven’t, I’m asking you — back off. Let me and sally work this out, okay? I want to give her everything because that’s what she deserves. Just…think about it.

[ Door closes ]

Chloe: I know you don’t want to admit that you still have feelings for adam, but from where I’m standing, it seems like your heart is being pulled in two different directions.

Sally: Whatever feelings i have left for adam are just lingering remnants of a relationship that never would have worked.

Chloe: And I hope that’s true, that you’re over him. But my advice about nick stands. I still believe that you should think really long and hard about continuing down the road with him. I mean, he is our boss.

Sally: It might be a little late for thinking. Those feelings are already setting in.

Chloe: Okay. Then, you know, you really need to figure out where things are headed.

Sally: I mean, why do they have to be headed anywhere?

Chloe: Ahh. The thrill of a new attraction. Oh, god, it’s so exhilarating and fun, the rose-colored glasses.

[ Sighs ] I remember it. You know, kevin and I — we used to be lovestruck dummies once.

Sally: Okay, I’m not that bad.

Chloe: I get that a fling with nick is a welcome escape from the pain and anguish that comes with adam, but I have heard you say more than once that you don’t really even know what’s happening between you and nick. So, while you probably haven’t been able to, you know, fully examine or ask the hard questions, you know, now is definitely the time.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Sally: [ Sighs ] Speak of the devil.

Chloe: The devil? Or the devil’s brother?

Sally: Hey. ‘Sup?

Nick: ‘Sup? Uh, I know it’s last-minute. You free tonight?

Victor: Well, now, tucker, this was a real waste of time. There’s no way you’re gonna tell me why you’re really here.

Tucker: You’re right. I haven’t been completely honest. My, uh — my shaman would be very disappointed.

Victor: Your shaman?

Tucker: Yeah.

Victor: [ Laughs ]

Tucker: No, there is someone else I need to see.

Victor: Really? Who?

Tucker: I want to make amends with ashley.

Victor: Oh, you do?

Tucker: Mm.

Victor: Uh-huh. I want to be there when you try that.

Tucker: [ Laughs ]

Victor: How many times have you cheated on her?

Tucker: I made mistakes.

Victor: Mm.

Tucker: But I want to own those mistakes, and I want to acknowledge them. And I plan on apologizing to her and trying to find a way to make it up to her.

Victor: Huh. Wow. Let me make a suggestion. Go back to where you came from. Okay? Ashley does not need your B.S.

Tucker: So, as protective of her as ever, eh? Which I’m sure you’d call chivalry, yes?

Victor: Yeah. Remember that, okay?

Tucker: I will.

Victor: And take what I said seriously.

Tucker: Always.

Victor: Good.

[ Door opens ]

Diane: What is wrong with you? First you provoke the entire abbott family.

Tucker: [ Laughing ]

Diane: What? And now you’re goading victor? Wha– why are you playing with fire?

Tucker: I haven’t had this much fun in so long.

Diane: [ Sighing heavily ]

You never know

what opportunities

Nick: Hi.

Noah: Hey, dad.

Nick: Hey, bud.

Allie: Hi, mr. Newman.

Nick: Allie, nice to see you. This is amazing. The place is hopping.

Noah: Yeah, I was hoping for a bigger turnout, but it’s still early.

Nick: Yeah, it’s just the old people like me who show up early. The young kids are gonna come in any minute.

Noah: Well, thank you for showing up solo to support.

Nick: Yeah. Um… not solo, actually. I’m, uh, expecting someone.

Noah: Oh, yeah? Who’s that?

Nick: There she is now. Excuse us.

Allie: Whoa. Your dad and sally? What’s up with those two?

Noah: Yeah, I had the same question. I’m really hoping this is just work-related. I’m also hoping that they don’t cross paths with summer.

Allie: Aren’t summer and kyle on their way?

Noah: Yep.

Nick: You look beautiful.

Sally: You are the most handsome man here.

Did you already scan the room?

Sally: I don’t have to.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] How was the rest of your workday?

Sally: Uh, good. I closed the deal that we were talking about earlier.

Nick: Not surprised by that at all.

Sally: [ Chuckles ] I never got a chance to ask you earlier — how was summer and kyle’s vow renewal?

Nick: It was, uh…perfect. You know, romantic and beautiful, just the way you want things like that to be.

Sally: Well, I’m truly happy for summer. Despite everything that happened between us, I hold no ill will towards her. As far as I see, it’s just water way, way under the bridge.

Nick: I’m glad to hear you say that. My daughter is everything to me. I will defend and protect her to the ends of the earth. And I believe you when you say that. I see you’ve made a lot of changes.

Sally: Well, thank you for giving me the benefit of the doubt. It means a lot.

Phyllis: Wow, I cannot wait to hear what noah has to say about this. Okay, I’m gonna do some online research, and when I say “online research,” I mean hacking ’cause there’s more here than what meets the eye. Hi! Um, alright, well, this is my cue to go.

Nikki: Okay. Good — good to see you.

Phyllis: Yeah. You too. Excuse me.

Nikki: Hi, darling.

Victor: What the hell is she doing here? I don’t like you working with her. Although you may have a common enemy.

Nikki: I can handle phyllis. And we are honing in on a connection between tucker and diane in los angeles.

Victor: I want to hear about that, okay? Because tucker mccall needs to be taken care of. So does she — diane. Meaning we can kill two birds with one stone.

Diane: I’m so glad you find this all amusing.

Tucker: I’m enjoying my life. We all should. You should. None of us know how much time we have left. You know as well as anyone.

Diane: You know, that is not funny, and this is not a game.

Tucker: Everything’s a game.

Diane: No, not to me. I have worked long and hard to gain back some footing in this town, and I will not have it destroyed because you like to go around taunting the big dogs.

Tessa: “The big dogs.” Look, the big dogs like to be challenged, or they get bored.

Diane: No. Leave it alone. You’re putting us both in danger.

Tucker: You’re not in any danger.

Diane: Victor could have found me hiding in your bathroom.

Tucker: He didn’t!

Diane: Yeah, but he’s fishing for information about us!

Tucker: So what? I didn’t give him anything.

Diane: Yeah, but — but you were cheeky and brazen.

Tucker: Was I cheeky?

[ Laughs ] I like that.

Diane: Listen to me. Victor is suspicious — and even more so now.

Tucker: Of course he’s suspicious. He’s victor. Diane, he doesn’t know anything about our connection. I guarantee it.

Diane: Not yet. But he has the money and power to find things out. Stop it.

Tucker: I have the money and power to hide things.

Diane: Well, I don’t! And my life is hanging by a thread here!

Tucker: We’re being a little dramatic, aren’t we?

Diane: [ Scoffs ]

Tucker: You say I’m the one who lacks subtlety.

Diane: I came back here to be with my son, and I cannot be associated with you. I will not lose the progress that I’ve made with kyle and with harrison.

Tucker: Hold on. Wait a second. Why don’t we make a deal? The abcs of ckd

Chelsea: [ Exhales heavily ]

[ Sighs ] Ahhhhhhhhhhh!

[ Exhaling sharply ]

Diane: I’m regretting our first deal, and you want me to make another one?

Tucker: Well, let’s just call it an amendment to the first deal then. You would just have to let me know when ashley returns from paris, and then you’d be off the hook as far as my eyes and ears in the abbott realm.

Diane: And if I do that, do you promise we’re over?

Tucker: You would have fulfilled your end of the agreement and you’d be free.

Victor: My conversation with tucker mccall didn’t go anywhere. However, he did reveal that he wants to make amends with ashley.

Nikki: Oh, yeah. I mean, he clearly made his grand entrance at the vow renewal to impress her.

Victor: Yeah, well, I’m afraid he’s gonna make her life a living hell.

Nikki: [ Sighs ] Yeah, he’ll try. But ashley can handle herself. I am going to focus completely on diane.

Noah: I was gonna text summer and try to divert her from coming tonight, but as luck would have it, she texted me saying she and kyle are gonna have a quiet night in.

Allie: Oh, good. That is one less thing for us to worry about.

Noah: Yeah. That kind of frees me up. And you were right. This place is filling up. Things are running smoothly. I’m starting to feel the magic a little. You want to go for another spin?

Nick: I love that scent.

Sally: [ Chuckles ]

Nick: May I?

Sally: [ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ] Look, as much as I am enjoying this — and believe me, I am — I think maybe we should just take a moment and look at exactly what’s going on between us.

Noah: Thank you for believing in me.

Allie: Oh, of course. It’s not hard to do. And I love seeing you in your element.

Noah: Maybe I should come spend a day in the lab at jabot.

Allie: It’s — it’s a different kind of magic. But I appreciate the gesture.

Noah: You know, as much as i hate to break this up, there is something I need to check on.

Allie: Sure. I’ll come with you.

Noah: Alright.

Allie: Yeah.

Audra: Noah. It’s been a long time.

Summer: [ Sighs ]

Kyle: Tell me, mrs. Abbott.

Summer: Ah. Ask away, mr. Abbott.

Kyle: What was your favorite memory of today?

Summer: Oh, no. See, that is a trick question because you know I have more than one.

Kyle: Mm. You have to choose.

Summer: Okay, if I have to choose, I’d say my top moment would be harrison holding my hand as he walked me down the aisle to you.

Kyle: [ Chuckles ] That was mine, too.

Summer: And what about mariah and tessa and noah all officiating together? You know, if somebody had told me five years ago that mariah and I would be something close to friends, I…

[ Sighs ] But there she was, saying the most romantic words.

Kyle: The way things have changed for us, even in the past year, made today that much more special. And all of the people who couldn’t be in milan…

Summer: They were here today. I mean, our wedding in italy was so sweet. It was so intimate.

Kyle: But there is nothing like home.

Summer: [ Sighs ] I’m so glad we recommitted to each other.

Kyle: Mm.

Summer: You know, they say that the most difficult year of marriage is the first. And we did everything to the extreme. Harrison came into our life, and I went to work in italy.

Kyle: And I chased you halfway around the globe. And that was even before we said “I do.”

Summer: But here we are. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Kyle: Mm. You know, years from now, when i look back on today, how beautiful you look in this dress and how happy we are, i will conveniently forget that tucker mccall crashed our party in a helicopter.

Summer: Yeah. Positive thoughts only. You know, I wouldn’t be surprised if that bentley he tried to gift us is cursed.

[ Sighs ]

[ Glasses clink ]

Nikki: I just can’t shake the feeling that tucker and diane were involved while she was playing dead.

Phyllis: Well, with those two, anything’s possible.

Nikki: I’m gonna see if victor’s people can find a connection between those two during the time she was being chauffeured around L.A. In that bentley.

[ Knocking on door ]

[ Pounding on door ]

Tucker: Yes! Geez.

Diane: [ Exhales sharply ]

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.

Nate: Hey.

Elena: Hey.

Nate: Um…how are you settling in at the grand phoenix?

Elena: Uh, thank you for asking.

[ Chuckles ] I am feeling decidedly unsettled.

Nate: You’re the one who said you wanted some distance to think about things.

Elena: And you ended up agreeing with me. In fact, you fully supported the idea.

Nate: Did you want me to demand that you stay, try to talk things out? Emotions were running high. I didn’t want us to say things we’d end up regretting.

Elena: Yeah. I think it was the best decision for both of us. It’s healthy to take a step back and reevaluate the situation.

Nate: I agree. So, um, how’s your introspection coming along? Has your time alone allowed you to see things from my perspective, understand where I’m coming from?

Elena: It’s only been one night, nate. But I have done nothing but think about it.

Nate: And?

Elena: And I have realized that something in you has changed. And I don’t like it.

Victoria: Well, hello there, daddy. I didn’t expect you to be back so soon.

Victor: Hey, you two. So, how was my granddaughter’s vow renewal?

Nick: Even better than the wedding in milan.

Victor: Really?

Victoria: Wish you could have been there.

Victor: Yeah.

Nick: Summer understands, though. In this family, sometimes business comes first.

Victoria: So, tell us about your trip. Was it worth skipping the ceremony for?

Victor: Well, I secured the financing, so as soon as chancellor-winters goes public, we shall pounce.

Victoria: Yes. That’s wonderful.

Victor: So, what else happened? I’m sure jack abbott cast aspersions about me because I didn’t show up, right?

Nick: Jack is not the only person you need to be concerned about right now. Another one of genoa city’s corporate elites showed up and made a surprise appearance, caused quite the stir.

Victor: Who?

Nick: Tucker mccall.

Victor: Huh. I’ll be damned. Your spirit is stronger

Phyllis: I feel very positive about this. I’m certain that victor’s people are gonna find some connection between tucker and the company that owns the bentley that diane was being chauffeured around L.A. In. I mean, it is so suspicious that the two of them — they show up in town at the same time? Seriously?

Nikki: Especially since deacon told me that sometimes he would see a man in the back seat with her. Too bad he didn’t get a good look at his face.

Phyllis: We’re getting closer, nikki. We’re getting closer to the truth.

Nikki: Oh, yes. We are going to prove that she has been lying about being a changed woman.

Phyllis: Oh, yeah, we are. That is the million-dollar question.

Nikki: I’ll get back to you when I know more.

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.

[ Both laugh ]

Kyle: Just like we will share everything else for the rest of our lives. To my beautiful bride, my hardworking wife, the journey we’ve taken, the people we’re becoming, and the adventures yet to come. I love you.

Summer: Forever.

[ Glasses clink ]

Diane: You told me to trust you, to relax, and then you pull a stunt like that without any warning?

Tucker: Yeah. Do I need to explain the concept of a surprise entrance to you?

Diane: [ Scoffs ] Oh, do not be condescending to me.

Tucker: Diane, you didn’t want anyone to find out that we were in contact while you were away, right? So, for all intents and purposes, your shock and your outrage when I showed up were real.

Diane: [ Scoffs ]

Tucker: You were just another horrified guest. Hell, I gave you the perfect cover, if you want to think about it. You should be thanking me.

Diane: Oh, don’t even try and spin this! You choreographed that grand entrance for ashley alone, and she wasn’t even there. If you had told me about your ridiculous plan, I would have let you know that you got stuck in paris. I could have saved you the cost of the helicopter and — and all the energy you took picking out the perfect fancy suit.

Tucker: You know, it was absolutely worth it just to see all those friendly faces. And as for ashley, all in good time.

Victor: Well, I’ll be damned. Tucker mccall back in genoa city. He must have been keeping a low profile.

Victoria: Well, it makes you wonder what he’s been up to.

Victor: Mm, I remember hearing that he had divested himself of all of his worldly goods some time ago and went to some ashram in the far east to find himself.

Nick: [ Sighs ] Devon told me the same thing. Said he tracked him down in thailand and he was playing the role of the humble spiritual seeker to the hilt.

Victoria: Which doesn’t mean it was real.

Victor: Of course it wasn’t real. He has never let go of mccall unlimited. He won’t until the day he dies.

Nick: He’s had a few close calls.

Victor: Oh, come on, man. That’s a bunch of bull. He talked about having an accident in monte carlo that almost killed him. He did that for P.R. Purposes, only to impress someone he did a real estate deal with.

Nick: We can question tucker’s sudden appearance later. Right now, I’m far more interested in, what is our next move? Are we still seriously considering making a play for chancellor-winters?

Victor: Tucker mccall. Give me a break. Wait a minute. What if they’re connected?

Nate: What precisely do you think is changing in me?

Elena: This job has brought up a side of you that is power-hungry, destructive, and has the potential to hurt a lot of people.

Nate: Hurt people? Elena, the work I am doing will create jobs. The money I make for the company pays people’s salaries, allows them to keep a roof over their heads and send their kids to school. Making big things happen takes guts and vision. Sometimes it requires sacrifice.

Elena: Don’t stop. Please continue. I would love to hear exactly what you’re willing to sacrifice. Your morality? Your family? Your relationship?

Nate: I just meant that being in the business world requires a lot of time and effort.

Elena: Oh. As opposed to being a doctor?

Nate: You know I don’t think that. All of my frustrations with medicine stem from not being able to do the challenging parts of the profession.

Elena: And that suddenly justifies your behavior? And if I don’t agree with it, there’s something wrong with me.

Nate: Look… I didn’t mean to come on so strong. I just really believe in what i can accomplish. And I’m not doing this to try to get ahead. I want you to see that, to understand me.

Elena: See, that’s the thing, nate. I really do understand you. And that is what makes this so hard.

Nate: [ Sighs ]

Devon: Hey, you two. Everything okay?

Nate: Yeah, everything’s fine. I know you have to get to the hospital, and I need to head back to the office. I’ll call you later.

Devon: See you back there.

Elena: They, um… they just took some chocolate chip cookies out of the oven, so I’m gonna grab one. Can I get you anything?

Devon: Yeah, you can give me the truth. You clearly look like you need to talk to somebody. And I’m right here. Oh, davante adams!

Elena: It’s hard to discuss this with you.

Devon: I understand. But I know that you and nate are going through a rough patch, and if there’s anything I can do to help, I’d like to, even if it’s just have a chat with an old friend.

Elena: “An old friend”?

Devon: I’m sorry. A young friend.

Elena: [ Chuckles ]

Devon: Talk to me.

Elena: [ Sighs ] Look, I get that people change. It’s normal, it’s natural, and most of the time it’s a good thing. But the changes that I am seeing in nate… I don’t recognize who he is anymore.

Devon: I know this is a big career transition for him, but is it that bad?

Elena: You really mean to tell me that you haven’t noticed? From the day that he decided to walk away from medicine, it’s like — I don’t know — like he’s lost his center. His goodness, his compassion. And it’s all been replaced by this hunger to prove himself, to excel no matter what.

Devon: Well, hang on a second ’cause I’m — I’m confused. Things have been improving since he’s come back to work. So…what’s really going on?

Elena: It’s nothing. It’s everything.

Devon: Okay. If you have a problem with him and it has something to do with work, I feel like I’m to blame for it. No?

Elena: I wish it were that simple.

Devon: Well, it can be. You can tell me what’s going on, and then I can address it with nate and nudge things in the right direction for everyone. We’ll be planning group vacations in no time. Listen, if I did something, you could tell me what it is so i can at least figure out how to fix it.

Elena: Devon, this isn’t just about what you’ve done. It’s much bigger than that.

Allie: Oh, my gosh, baby, these pictures are all gallery-worthy. Ah. The love, the crazy dance moves.

Noah: Yeah, there is some solid blackmail material on there, especially from my dad, the self-proclaimed king of the dance floor.

Allie: Ah. Summer and kyle are made for each other. Look at the way he looks at her. Oh, you have to frame this one.

Noah: Yeah.

Allie: [ Laughs ]

Noah: [ Sighs ]

Allie: Noah?

Noah: I, uh — I’ll take that.

Allie: Wait. No. Oh, my god. Oh, my god. These, um… these are of me.

Noah: Yeah.

Allie: I-I-I didn’t notice you taking these.

Noah: Well, that was kind of the whole point. I’ve always wanted to capture you like this. No filter, no ironic graphics. Just you in perfect natural lighting.

Allie: Normally, I hate seeing photos of myself, but… is that really the way I look?

Noah: Well, that’s how i always see you. You know, you’re a pretty great subject, professionally speaking.

Allie: Oh, yeah?

Noah: Yeah.

Allie: Well, I think these belong in a gallery somewhere.

Noah: Oh, yeah? What would you say if you saw these framed?

Allie: Mm…I would say that the photographer might have really liked his subject.

Noah: Hmm. I think I’d say he loved her.

Allie: [ Chuckles ]

Kyle: Aww, would you look at that?

Summer: Love is definitely in the air.

Noah: Yeah, I thought i smelled something when you walked in.

Summer: Oh, today has been such a perfect day, even with you here.

Kyle: In spite of an uninvited guest dropping in by helicopter.

Allie: Okay, take a pause here, guys. I still can’t believe you guys call him tucker. I mean, this is the tucker mccall, the most fascinating man, wrapped in a myth, bathed in business legend. I mean, that’s kind of cool, right? Or if you’re into that “billionaire playboy who lives life by the extremes” kind of thing, which I am clearly not.

Noah: Yeah, tucker spent a lot of time in genoa city and did the whole playboy thing.

Allie: Right. You said that he’s devon’s dad.

Noah: Biologically.

Summer: And he was married to ashley for a while.

Allie: Okay, that is so weird

[Chuckles] And hard to imagine. And, kyle, you said that he had a relationship with your mom, too.

Kyle: Yeah, unfortunately.

Noah: He also dated my mom for a little while.

Allie: Seriously? Level-headed, psych-major, wholesome sharon?

Jack: Uh-oh. What’d I walk in on?

Noah: Oh, we’re just filling allie in on the life and times of tucker mccall.

Jack: Believe me, the less you know about that guy, the better.

Summer: You know what? His helicopter didn’t blow away any of the decorations, so I’m just gonna pretend like that wedding crash didn’t happen.

Jack: I wish I could do that, too.

Diane: Don’t contact me. Don’t call and don’t text.

Tucker: Are you saying I’m dead to you?

[ Chuckles ] Isn’t that ironic?

Diane: I’m done! I have satisfied my end of our agreement. I have given you information about ashley and the abbotts. I’ve — I’ve kept you apprized of her general well-being and her romantic status. Look, you’re here now. You’re here. What could you possibly still need from me?

Tucker: Well, since you’re asking —

Diane: No! No. No more spying. I can’T. It’s over. Just say goodbye.

Tucker: No. It’s a little too soon for that. If you’re on medicare, remember,

Victoria: Tucker shows up at the same time that chancellor-winters is prepping to go public. I mean, it’s got to be connected somehow. Maybe he’s working behind the scenes with devon.

Victor: Or jill. You know, he was in bed with her in more ways than one.

Nick: As if there weren’t enough reasons for us to avoid taking control of chancellor-winters, having tucker mccall in the mix is a complication we cannot afford.

Victoria: Well, make no mistake. We’re not backing out of this. Scooping up chancellor-winters is too big of a get. And in no way do I fear tucker mccall. If he comes up with a plan, then we’ll just find a way to outmaneuver him.

Victor: My thoughts exactly.

Victoria: And we’ll know about any complications or potential hazards ahead of time because of our ace in the hole — nate.

[ Elevator doors open ]

Nate: [ Sighs ]

[ Elevator doors close ] Do my eyes deceive me?

Esther: Oh, nate. Hi. How’s my favorite doctor?

Nate: Now your favorite businessman, I hope. I know I have a lot of competition out there.

Esther: Well, there’s always room for one more favorite, especially someone as charming as you.

Nate: Oh, well, thank you.

Esther: [ Chuckles ]

Nate: So, what brings you by chancellor-winters?

Elena: I have a meeting with devon.

Nate: About what?

Esther: [ Chuckling ] I’m not sure.

Nate: Well, why don’t you wait in here? So, is this the first time you’ve been here since the merger?

Esther: Yeah. Mrs. C would be so impressed. It was a big move, and she’d be so happy that her grandson’s company has joined hers.

Nate: Say, you knew katherine as well as anyone.

Esther: [ Chuckles ] The stories I could tell.

Nate: Mm. She was an inspiration. To have accomplished so much in an era where it was rare for a woman to run a big company…

Esther: Yes. People underestimated her because she inherited the business from her husband, and so they didn’t think that she was qualified.

Nate: Mm. I know that feeling.

Esther: Really? But you graduated from medical school. How could anyone ever think that you don’t know what you’re doing?

Nate: Oh, you’d be surprised. But I’m sure it’s nothing compared to what she went through. I’m sure she’s had more than her fair share of detractors and naysayers.

Esther: [ Chuckles ] More than you can imagine. And the worst one was jill. She was a thorn in my side, too. It’s crazy how she could become co-owner of this company.

Nate: Ah. I never had any issues with jill. She’s always been so helpful. If there are any problems at this company, they have nothing to do with jill.

Esther: Well, yes, she makes me crazy, but I guess I do kind of wish that jill was in genoa city full time. I mean, in the final decades of her life, mrs. C made peace with jill, and they eventually became co-ceos of chancellor.

Nate: Wow. So, katherine was willing to share her power. Hmm. That’s fascinating. You know, I would love to know more about katherine the businesswoman, if you wouldn’t mind.

Esther: Mind? Oh, no, I-I’d love to.

Devon: Elena, I trust your judgment, so you can tell me the truth and tell me what I’ve done that’s causing friction in your relationship.

Elena: You didn’t do anything per se. I’m just saying that i understand why you’re putting nate through the paces. You’re running a business. The success and failure of every decision falls on you.

Devon: Yeah, and I appreciate you understanding that.

Elena: But I think the only thing nate cares about is making his mark and showing everyone that he deserves to be where he is, that he has the talent and the courage to operate at that level.

Devon: Yeah, I know that. And I wouldn’t have hired him unless I thought he was talented or I thought he could handle this job. I mean, he’s one of the smartest people I know, and I have very high expectations for him. But he knows this already, right?

Elena: I think he’s just frustrated that things haven’t happened as quickly as he wants them to or in the way that he wants them to.

Devon: He still feels like that? ‘Cause since he’s come back to work, I’ve been under the impression that he’s really making an effort to respect the hierarchy.

Elena: It’s just the way that nate is handling his feelings. I can’t accept it.

Devon: Are we talking about just him struggling with this transition into the corporate world, or is it something completely different here?

Elena: I’m sorry, devon. I’m gonna head back to work.

Devon: You sure?

Elena: I’ll see you later. Ever leave your clothes in the dryer

“The young and the restless”

will continue. Let’s be real…

Esther: Oh, my goodness!

Devon: Hey. What’d I miss?

Nate: Hey.

Devon: Esther, you’re looking beautiful, as always.

Esther: Oh, you.

[ Chuckles ]

Devon: Everything all right with you?

Nate: Yeah. Why wouldn’t it be?

Esther: I was just telling nate how mrs. C liked to shake people up. She wasn’t shy.

Devon: No. And she didn’t waste one second of life on this planet.

Esther: Oh, that’s for sure.

Devon: She had a motto. Remember that?

Esther: Yes. “Live until I die.” And it wasn’t just a saying to her.

Devon: That’s right, not at all. She grabbed life with both hands and lived it. She saw the places she wanted to see. She had a whole bucket list she checked off. She was even lucky enough to find love later in life.

Esther: Yeah, she grabbed this happiness and hold on tight.

Nate: Words to live by.

Devon: Yeah.

Esther: So, devon…

Devon: Yeah?

Esther: …Why’d you want to see me?

Devon: Well, I wanted to see you because I’ve been thinking about a conversation that we had not too long ago.

Esther: Uh-oh. What’d I say?

Devon: You were just telling me how miles and bella are growing up and how you’re not taking care of the chancellor mansion anymore.

Esther: Yeah. That. Yeah.

Devon: And so I started thinking about our whole principle behind forming chancellor-winters. You know, it’s because we wanted it to be a family enterprise ’cause that’s something that’s very important to me.

Nate: I can’t begin to tell you how I feel about being a part of this.

Devon: And, esther, you are part of the chancellor legacy.

Esther: Oh, that means so much to me.

Devon: Well, it’s very, very true. And we would love to have you a part of what we’re building here, if you’d like to be.

Esther: De– wait. Devon, wait, wait. A-are you offering me a job?

Devon: I absolutely am offering you a job, yes. Our receptionist has to take off for personal reasons —

Esther: Oh! Oh, no! No! The answer — yes! The answer is yes!

Devon: Yeah?

Esther: [ Laughing ] Yes!

Devon: Good.

Esther: Wow.

Summer: All I know is when i look back on the day that we chose each other again in front of all of our friends and family, the last thing I want to think about is —

Noah: A stupid stunt pulled by some self-aggrandizing jerk? Yeah. Yeah, I agree. We should erase that part.

Summer: Consider it forgotten.

Noah: And tonight doesn’t have to end. After party tonight. My club.

Kyle: Ooh. Are you up for it?

Summer: Mm, dance all night with you?

Kyle: Oh, I thought you’d never ask.D

Summer: [ Chuckles ]

Allie: Ah, they kissed! That makes it official. After party it is.

Noah: Save me a dance. Or all of them.

Allie: Mm. Only if you play your cards right.

Noah: Alright, it’s official. I’ll see you guys tonight. Bye. See you, jack.

Jack: Good night. You know what? I think it’s a great idea. We could all use a little palate cleansing, particularly after tucker very nearly spoiled your day.

Kyle: I’m sorry. What happened?

Summer: Tucker who? What?

[ Laughter ]

Tucker: No, we’re still partners. I need you to continue to be my eyes and ears inside the abbott world.

Diane: And if I refuse? What, are you threatening me?

Tucker: I’m reminding you that you would not have been able to make progress with your son, nor would you have had any kind of important place with your adorable little grandson, were it not for my help. So I need you to continue assisting me until I can get a foothold. ‘Cause, you know, I’m facing the same uphill battle you faced, right? I mean, your crimes, granted, were more egregious than mine, which gives me hope — ’cause if you can overcome your obstacles, so can I.

Diane: To what end?

Tucker: Why do you want to know that?

Diane: Because I feel protective of the abbotts now. They’re my family. So I need you to tell me exactly what you want from them.

Summer: You know, as excited

Jack: Are things that busy at marchetti? ‘Cause I honestly think you two deserve a honeymoon break.

Kyle: Oh, funny you should mention that. I have already lined up a villa on the beach in costa rica.

Summer: Mm, he surprised me. He even got me this cute little straw hat.

Kyle: Yeah, we’re still working out the schedule and things, but we hope we can get away in the next couple of weeks.

Summer: You know, as excited as I am about a romantic vacation, I’m still a little nervous about leaving marchetti and harrison.

Jack: Don’t worry about harrison. He’s got me, he’s got diane, mrs. Martinez, traci.

Kyle: [ Chuckling ] Okay, we get the picture.

Summer: Prepare to return to a spoiled kid.

Jack: No, we won’t peel any of his grapes for him. Unless he asks. You can always video-chat with him every night.

Kyle: We’re going to pack some picture books so we can still read him bedtime stories.

Jack: Great. As for marchetti, you’ve hired a great staff. Lean on them. Delegate. Look, you two take time. Enjoy the love you share with each other. You deserve it. We’ll take care of the rest.

Kyle: Okay, but what about our mothers? Is it safe to leave them without supervision?

Jack: At the moment, yes. There is a stalemate. I wouldn’t call it peace, but I — they’re not fighting. Take full advantage of that.

Esther: I should warn you — I cannot possibly start until tomorrow at 8:00.

Devon: Well, guess what. Tomorrow at 8:00 is perfect.

Esther: Really?

Devon: Absolutely. Yes. We’ll have the current receptionist start training you, and then I can go up and take care of everything in H.R.

Esther: I will learn the routine in no time.

Devon: I have no doubt that you will.

Esther: I’m so glad you thought of me.

Devon: Oh, absolutely. I’ve been thinking about you for a long time. I’m just happy that this opened up and we can make something work out.

Nate: Welcome aboard.

Esther: [ Chuckling ] Thank you. Oh! I am an employee of chancellor-winters.

Devon: Yes, you are.

Esther: Well, starting tomorrow at 8:00. Oh, no. Tomorrow? Oh, my gosh. I’ve got to find something to wear. I’ve got to go.

[ Laughter ] Mrs. C would be so proud of you.

Devon: Oh.

Esther: I got to go.

Devon: [ Chuckles ] Thank you. We’ll see you tomorrow.

Esther: Thanks. Bye!

Nate: Good move bringing esther on.

Devon: Oh, yeah, man. It feels like a missing piece to this puzzle having her here. Katherine always considered her family, so it’s only right that we take care of her like this, you know? But, uh, speaking of looking after family, when I asked you before if everything was okay with you, how come you weren’t honest with me?

Victor: Now as devon’s coo, nate hastings is perfectly positioned to find out if tucker mccall had anything to do with chancellor-winters going public.

Victoria: The more intel we have, the better prepared we’ll be.

Nick: Yeah, the sec has a name for that kind of behavior, and they don’t like it.

Victor: Son, no regulations have been violated.

Nick: Yet.

Victoria: Nate has also developed a personal relationship with a consultant that jill brought in to help with the ipo, a woman named audra charles.

Victor: Hmm. Good.

Nick: This is all assuming that nate can continue to lie to his cousins’ faces.

Devon: I asked you not that long ago how things are going between you and elena.

Nate: I said we’d work things out.

Devon: Yes, I know what you said, but I just had a conversation with her.

Nate: What did she say?

Devon: I’m not gonna betray her trust, but I can tell you that she loves you very much and she’s worried about you.

Nate: Yeah. I wish things hadn’t gotten to this point with her.

Devon: Well, I’m gonna say to you the same thing I said to her. If there’s something that I can do to help, I’d like to do it. So, let’s hear your side.

Nate: Elena’s been saying all the right things about me leaving medicine, but the fact of the matter is she never expected this to last. She thought I’d have fun for a while, but ultimately wind back up at memorial.

Devon: Hmm. I mean, I know a lot of your connection was based on being in the same profession.

Nate: Mm. When things got tense between the two of us, elena’s first instinct was to tell me to walk away from chancellor-winters. She’s still focused on the past, how things were. And I’m looking forward.

[ Cellphone pings ] It’s a business matter I need to follow up on.

Devon: Anything I can help with?

Nate: Consider it handled. And for the record, I’m committed to working things out with elena, and I’m hopeful it will happen because I love her. But I want to make one thing clear. I am determined not to allow personal issues to interfere with what I’m trying to accomplish here.

Devon: Okay. I appreciate your candor.

Nate: Better take care of this. (Hamlet) it’s beggin’! Advantage plans have coverageyou could save on

Nate: I got here as quickly as I could. What’s going on?

Victoria: Tucker mccall has returned to genoa city.

Nate: Devon didn’t say anything about his father coming to town.

Victoria: Yeah, I gathered since you didn’t mention it to me, which means one of two things. Either tucker hasn’t told devon that he’s here, or devon knows that his prodigal father has returned and he’s just keeping you out of the loop.

Nate: I wonder if he found out about the plan to go public.

Victoria: I had the same thought. It’s possible that he’s thinking of making his own move on the company. With him, anything is possible.

Nate: I’ll see what I can find out.

Victoria: It’s imperative that you do. If there’s a wild card in the mix, it could change the entire game.

Phyllis: You know, it feels so wrong having these secret meetings here, but then it feels so right.

Nikki: [ Chuckles ] Well, since summer is suspicious of our new civility, I thought it would be a good idea.

Phyllis: I mean, I can’t believe I had to swear to her that I wouldn’t try to run diane out of town. I guess she wants me to just stand back and watch this woman try to worm her way into the lives of everyone we love.

Nikki: Well, from what I can tell, you’re doing a good job faking it.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Thanks. So, tucker. His desire to give this very ostentatious gift to kyle and summer — could that link him to diane in los angeles?

Nikki: With any luck, it will.

Phyllis: Alright, so, you have big news to tell me. I’m ready.

Nikki: Thanks to victor’s team, we have a fascinating new piece of the puzzle.

Tucker: Trust me — I’m not out to hurt anyone. I just want what you got when you came back to genoa city — forgiveness and acceptance, mostly from ashley. I’ve made no secret of that.

Diane: I am sure that people are already suspicious about the two of us being back here at the same time. And if anybody puts the pieces together, then all the help you’ve given me will be for nothing. And I have worked too long and too hard to lose what I’ve managed to get back. So, please. Come on. Just please reconsider continuing to use me as your spy.

[ Knock on door ]

Victor: Mccall? I know you’re in there.

Mariah: We are gathered here today to celebrate one of life’s most remarkable moments — the marriage between two people who have chosen to commit their lives to one another. And today, with their first wedding anniversary right around the corner, they have decided to renew their vows.

Kyle: Impossible as it sounds, you are more breathtaking today than you were on our wedding day.

Summer: I was just about to say the same thing to you.

Kyle: Mm.

Mariah: That’s the spirit, you two.

Kyle: [ Chuckles ]

Mariah: This isn’t a formal wedding ceremony. They already had one in italy. Today is for kyle and summer to share their joy with their nearest and dearest, bringing us all together on this beautiful autumn day to celebrate their love.

Tucker: The countdown begins.

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.

Mariah: Kyle and summer have written their own vows to each other. So, ladies first.

Chelsea: Your dad should have been here by now. I wonder what’s keeping him.

Connor: It’s no big deal.

Chelsea: Well, it kind of is. You know, this is supposed to be a family thing.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

[ Sighs ]

Connor: What’s wrong?

Chelsea: Well, your dad is stuck at a meeting at jabot. He’s not gonna be able to make it after all.

Connor: Oh.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ]

Connor: Well, can’t the two of us do whatever the three of us were going to be doing?

Chelsea: You’re right. You’re right. This is important, and it shouldn’t wait.

[ Breathes deeply ] Um… okay, I need to explain something to you.

Connor: Okay. What’s it about?

Chelsea: Something that could change your life, hopefully for the better. Ever leave your clothes in the dryer

Chelsea: I love you so much. You are the greatest joy of my life. Nobody means more to me in this world than you do. You know that, right?

Connor: Yeah. What’s going on? I mean, you said this was important, but you’re making it sound, like, scary almost.

Chelsea: No. Oh, no. Connor, there’s nothing to be scared of. I promise. I just, um — I need to tell you something about my past.

Connor: Okay.

Chelsea: Before your father and I had you, before we were together even… I was pregnant. I was pretty much alone in the world back then. You know, I wasn’t ready to be a mom. I couldn’t handle that responsibility, you know? The thought of taking care of this tiny little human — it was just too overwhelming.

Connor: What did you do?

Chelsea: I made sure the baby was raised the way he deserved to be raised, surrounded by love and being cared for in a way i wasn’t capable of giving him at the time.

Connor: He?

Chelsea: Yeah. Yeah. I had a little boy. Letting this other family raise him was the best thing I could possibly do because this child grew up with a great life, surrounded by people who were devoted to him. I know this is true because the little boy I’m talking about is your cousin johnny.

Summer: I have loved this man for as long as I can remember. Even when I couldn’t admit it to myself. You were always a part of me. And now [Breathes deeply] As your wife, I love you more every single day for being my best friend. For making me laugh. For surprising me in all of the best ways, like coming up with the idea for this beautiful ceremony. Or always having the perfect negroni ready for me exactly when I need it the most.

Kyle: [ Chuckles ]

Summer: And for believing in me…as much as I believe in you. I love you.

Kyle: We’ve been through some stuff, you and I.

Summer: Right?

[ Both laugh ]

Kyle: But every moment leading up to our wedding in milan only made us stronger. And every moment since then only proved even more we were meant to be. Living in milan was glorious, being newlyweds and parents to the best little boy in the world. But now our journey has brought us back home again. And I can’t wait to find out what comes next. And I know one thing for sure — it’ll never be boring.

[ Laughter ]

[ Sighs ] No one has ever excited and challenged me as much as you have. I’m so thankful you are my wife. And like I said almost a year ago when we exchanged rings, ti amero per sempre, summer. For those of you who don’t speak italian…

[ Laughter ] …That was, “I will love you forever.”

Summer: [ Laughs ]

Tucker: Hey, it’s me. Ready to go? Great. See you on the roof. Hell, yeah, I want to make an entrance.

[ Chuckles ] So, you’re 45.

Connor: You were pregnant with johnny?

Chelsea: Yes.

Connor: And you gave him away as a baby, just, like, handed him over to billy and victoria?

Chelsea: No, it wasn’t like that.

Connor: Then what was it like?

Chelsea: It was a huge decision. I mean, this was the best thing for everybody.

Connor: Does johnny know?

Chelsea: Billy and victoria told him the truth a few days ago, that victoria is his mother always, but I’m his biological mother, which makes you and johnny half-brothers. I’m hoping this can bring us all closer now…like family.

Tessa: If kyle and summer’s parents would like to share any special thoughts on this day, we would love to hear from them.

Nick: Alright, I’ll start us off.

Summer: [ Chuckles ]

Nick: I was, uh, lucky enough to be at your ceremony in milan. Very happy to be part of this one, too. You said you wanted some advice from time to time, so I’m just gonna run right with that.

Kyle: Already?

Summer: Oh, no.

[ Laughs ]

Nick: Just hear me out. Um…when you choose to spend your life with someone, you can never tell them enough just how much you value them, how much you appreciate everything they do, and that you are always on their side. Trust me on this one. Just do it at least once a day. Promise me you’ll remember that.

Summer: I will. Thank you, dad.

Nick: I was with my beautiful, amazing daughter earlier, and I told her I was completely awed by her. You’re a lucky man, kyle. And I’m very, very happy to have you as a son-in-law. I think you’re an incredible father, an incredible husband. I’m very proud of this family that you’ve created. And I’m sure you and summer will find a lot of joy in the days ahead. I love you both.

Phyllis: I’ll go next.

Nick: Okay.

Phyllis: Um… uh, okay. Well… [ Sighs ] Earlier, tessa said that you inspired her. You inspired me. Both of you. You have grown so much as a couple, and you’ve had a lot of speed bumps, a lot of obstacles, and you’ve overcome every single one. That takes a lot of tenacity. A lot. That’s what every parent wants for their child, the kind of happiness you share. I mean, that’s what everybody wants for themselves, right? Anyway, kyle and summer — they are living symbols of forgiveness and trust.

[ Voice breaking ] Your connection is profound. It’s beautiful. And you inspire me. Anything is possible. The sky’s the limit. So…keep on soaring. Um…you can achieve anything. I love you.

Summer: Thanks, mom.

Jack: A far wiser man than i once said, “the best romance is inside marriage.” The very best love stories happen after the wedding, not before.” But kyle and summer already know that. They know that the wedding is just the beginning of life’s greatest adventure when you venture forth into the world with your partner by your side. And, oh, what a partnership these two have. The last few months I have had a front-row seat to watch kyle and summer together as they toiled day long at work and then live under the same roof. Not every couple could handle that kind of togetherness. These two make it look so easy because they are so completely in sync. I want you to know it means the world to me and to traci and to ashley, who couldn’t be here today, that you chose to have this ceremony here in this home that means so much to all of us, that this memory is part of abbott history. I know the two of you will build so many more exciting experiences that will add pages to the story of your family’s life. But today, you both have added immeasurably to ours. Thank you.

Diane: [ Sighs ] Um… um, I-I wasn’t at kyle and summer’s wedding in milan, and that — that was totally my fault and one of the, um, most painful regrets I have about, uh, staying away for as long as I did. But, um, that was yesterday, and today is about renewed hope and love.

[ Voice breaking ] I’ve — I’ve gotten to know kyle all over again, and I’ve started a relationship with summer. And the kindness and generosity that you two have shown me and your — your willingness to give me another chance — it’s a testament to who you are as individuals and as a couple. And I am — I am so grateful and honored to be part of your world and of your brilliant future together.

[ Sniffles ] I love you. Sorry.

Mariah: Alright. This is it, the moment of truth. Summer and kyle, do you promise to keep each other as husband and wife, for better or worse, richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, as long as you both shall live?

Both: We will.

Mariah: And will you maintain your vows to each other to love, honor, and cherish each other always?

Both: We do.

Mariah: And to all of you loved ones out there, do you promise to support, love, and cherish this couple as they so fabulously deserve?

Together: We will!

[ Cheers and applause ]

Mariah: Alright, then.

[ Laughs ]

Noah: Only one thing left to do. Summer and kyle abbott, we now pronounce you husband and wife…again.

[ Laughter ] Let what god has joined together nobody put asunder.

Tessa: Amen!

[ Helicopter blades whirring ]

[ Cheers and applause ]

[ Whirring intensifies ]

[ Wind whipping ]

[ Wind and whirring continue ] Technically when enamel is gone,

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!

Chelsea: Connor! Connor!

Tucker: Oh, hey. [ Chuckles ]

Billy: Hey.

Tucker: Uh, I hope I didn’t miss the festivities.

Jack: Tucker mccall. What the hell are you doing here?

Nikki: Thank god your father isn’t here. Imagine what that “hello” would look like.

Tucker: Well, I heard about this glorious occasion. You know how gossip gets around this town. Uh, and since I’m back, i thought it’d be nice to say hello to as many people as i could in one fell swoop. More efficient that way.

Jack: This is not the time or place for a meet-and-greet. What, you disappear for years, then drop in on a private family gathering — by helicopter, no less? You have no right. You are not welcome.

Tucker: Yeah, uh, my humble apologies for the lack of advanced notice. I certainly didn’t mean to make this solely about my arrival in genoa city. I wanted to bring good tidings to the lovely young couple there and — wow. Sorry, I just got to take all this in. This is so beautiful. What a gorgeous setting, jack.

Summer: He has some nerve showing up here, on today of all days.

Diane: Who does tucker mccall think he is, barging in here like this, stepping all over your lovely ceremony, injecting himself where he’s not wanted?

Phyllis: Oh, that’s rich, that she would say that after she’s insinuating herself into jack and kyle’s life.

Nick: It is ridiculous, him showing up like this.

Phyllis: Let’s get rid of him, please. Can you?

Nick: We’re just gonna let jack handle this. It’s his house.

Tucker: [ Whistles ] Diane jenkins. I read about your return from the dead. I am very happy to see you looking good.

Jack: Back off.

Tucker: Oh, no, no, I — i mean all that sincerely, jack. I don’t bear diane — or anybody here, for that matter — any ill will.

Jack: I assume you’re here to see ashley. Fortunately, she’s stuck in paris, couldn’t get here in time to put up with your unwelcome presence. Now get off my property. A dental tool is round for a reason.

“The young and the restless”

will continue. Nope

Tucker: I promise I won’t impose much longer. Please try to be patient. I just want to congratulate summer and kyle, give them a gift, okay? Uh, I wish you both the very best. Please accept this as a token of my esteem. Key to a vintage bentley. I understand your grandfather preferred bentleys to rolls-royces.

Kyle: Yeah.

Tucker: Yeah. This is a classic one.

Kyle: Thanks, but no thanks.

Summer: The only gift I want is for you to leave.

Tucker: I see. Uh, well, it would meant a lot to me if you accepted. Um…but maybe once you’ve had a chance to enjoy the car, you’ll feel differently. Please. Good luck. Okay. There it is. Um, you all enjoy the rest of the ceremony, and, uh, we’re going to be seeing a lot more of each other from now on ’cause I’m sticking around. Before I go, I’d like a word with you, jack, if you please.

Jack: If it’ll get you out of here any quicker, I will happily talk to you. Make it quick.

Tucker: Um, when do you expect ashley to return?

Jack: Are you kidding me? You did this as a ploy to get ashley’s attention? She would never have appreciated this.

Tucker: I really need to speak with her. I want to make amends. I’m certain she’ll want to hear what I have to say.

Jack: Don’t bet on it. If you don’t want things to get a whole lot uglier real fast, i suggest you get back on that helicopter and fly away right now.

Allie: A bentley. Wow.

Noah: Vintage, nonetheless.

Mariah: One heck of a gift.

Summer: It’s creepy.

Kyle: It’s over the top.

Summer: Especially from someone that we have never been close to.

Kyle: It wasn’t about us. It was like he wanted to put on a show or something.

Tessa: Tucker does have a reputation in the industry for being a colorful personality, which in the music biz is saying something.

Mariah: That’s not the only thing he’s known for, at least around here. As well as being a major player in the industry, he’s also devon’s dad.

Allie: Wait. You’re kidding. Are they close at all?

Mariah: I don’t know that they’re necessarily on bad terms, but they haven’t seen each other in ages. Wait. Do you think that he’s — he’s back for dominic?

Kyle: I could see that — his son and his grandson. Wanting to make up for lost time.

Noah: Yeah, it could be. Still doesn’t explain why he felt the need to literally drop out of the sky and crash the party.

Chelsea: [ Breathes deeply ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Sniffles ]

[ Line ringing ] Pick up. Please pick up. Pick up. Pick up, please.

[ Sighs ]

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Billy: Chelsea. Hey.

Chelsea: Hey. Um, are you free by any chance? Could you meet me at crimson lights?

Billy: Now? I’m — I’m in the middle of a family function. Kyle and summer renewed their vows.

Chelsea: Oh. [ Sighs ] Oh. Sorry for interrupting. My timing is terrible today, in every way it seems.

[ Voice breaking ] I just — I can’t get anything right.

Billy: Okay, hold on. Um, listen, the main event is — is pretty much over, so I can sneak out for a little bit.

Chelsea: Really? Are you sure?

Billy: Yeah. Stay where you are, and I’ll be there as soon as I can, okay?

Chelsea: Okay. Thanks.

[ Sighs heavily ] Hey! It’s me! Your dry skin!

Chelsea: I completely blew it with connor. He refused to speak to me the whole drive home. And then when I dropped him off at the ranch, he ran inside without even saying goodbye to me. It’s like I can’t do anything right.

Billy: I didn’t realize you were planning on telling him so soon.

Chelsea: Well, I thought it was the right thing to do since johnny knows the truth. But I — I completely miscalculated the way connor would react. I think I really screwed this up.

Billy: I mean, this is complicated stuff for adults, let alone for kids. And it feels like right now you’re letting your emotions make some pretty major decisions. And that’s not always a good thing. I think you need to slow down a little bit and just take a step back. Maybe talk to someone that knows how to proceed in these kind of situations, like a child psychologist or an adoption specialist.

Chelsea: I should have done that. I should have done that first. I don’t know what I was thinking. Now I opened up this whole pandora’s box because I was just so insistent on it.

[ Sniffles ] I think I’ve wrecked my relationship with both boys now.

Billy: No, hey, you don’t have to go there, okay? These boys are smart. They got big hearts, okay? They just need some time to process through this.

Chelsea: But is it gonna work out? I think I’ve just hurt and alienated both johnny and connor, which is the last thing I wanted to do. How do I come back from this? What do I do now?

Billy: [ Sighs ] I can’t answer that for you. But I do have an idea, something that might help in the moment.

[ Up-tempo music playing ]

[ Indistinct singing ]

Nikki: Well, you handled that situation with tucker very admirably. I don’t know that I would have had that much restraint.

Jack: Well, I appreciate the compliment. Look, as long as I have you to myself, I was curious about something.

Nikki: Oh?

Jack: Your trip to L.A. — What was that all about?

Nikki: There’s been a lot of speculation about that. In fact, I’m sure diane is very interested in wanting to know what I was doing there.

Jack: Which was precisely what?

Nikki: Well, I was arranging for this beautiful gown for summer. Although your curiosity is intriguing.

Jack: Really? Why’s that?

Nikki: Well, diane has told anyone who would listen that she has nothing to hide about her time in los angeles. And if you believe that, then you really have no reason to care about my trip. But if you don’t believe it, well, then that’s a whole other matter. Excuse me, won’t you?

Diane: Is everything okay?

Jack: Yes, now that our uninvited guest has departed, everything’s okay.

Diane: Ugh, I can’t believe the nerve of that man, just waltzing in here like that. It’s so obnoxious.

Jack: Yeah, some things never change.

Diane: So, what were you two even talking about?

Jack: He wants to know when ashley will be home.

Diane: You think that’s all he’s after?

Jack: Not on your life. He may say he wants to reconnect with ashley or devon, but… no, he’s up to something. I am sure of it.

Nick: I’m just glad tucker finally left so the kids can finally have some fun.

Victoria: Well, tucker’s choosing to show up now was certainly interesting timing.

Nick: Yeah. Right when chancellor-winters is going public.

Victoria: Do you think there’s a connection?

Nick: I don’t know. Maybe. There could be lots of reasons, though, why he finally showed back up in town.

Victoria: Yeah, well, either way, we need to warn dad.

Phyllis: Okay. Yeah? Okay. I’m dying to hear your proof that diane has been lying about her time away. I’m dying to hear it.

Nikki: Well, deacon turned out to be very helpful. Despite her claims of living a modest lifestyle in L.A., Diane was being driven around town in a bentley.

Phyllis: A bentley. That’s the car that tucker gave kyle and summer.

Nikki: One hell of a coincidence, isn’t it?

You never know

what opportunities

Nikki: When tucker gave the kids that bentley, I about fell over.

Phyllis: I was watching diane and tucker, and it seemed that they were genuinely shocked to see each other here.

Nikki: Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Deacon said he would occasionally see a man in the backseat with her, but he couldn’t get a good look at the face. So it could have been tucker, or it could have been some other sugar daddy that she’s latched onto. Or maybe she has a pile of money squirreled away and it was her money. I mean, we just don’t know.

Phyllis: Yeah. I imagine you’re gonna keep on looking into it.

Nikki: Of course. Now, the car is owned by a company named private image limited. They’re based in london, but they have a branch in L.A. Victor put his people on the case, and they sent me a list of some of their investors. So, do you recognize any of these?

Phyllis: I mean… no. No, but diane’s keeping a secret. She’s definitely keeping a secret. We can’t stop now.

Nikki: Absolutely not — because whatever it is, we’re going to expose it… and her.

Billy: Come on. I come here from time to time when I feel like the walls are caving in. I think you might be feeling a little bit of that right now. So it feels like the right time for a little catharsis.

Chelsea: [ Chuckles ] Billy, I know you mean well, but what are we doing on the roof of the grand phoenix?

Billy: I feel like you’re a little overwhelmed, chelsea.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ]

Billy: So it’s time to take some control, and you can start to do that right here, right now.

Chelsea: How?

Billy: That anxiety and that fear that you have right now — it’s — you know just as well as anyone it starts to eat you up inside. Emotionally, physically. All of it starts to fill your brain, your veins, and your lungs, and you need to get it out. And I mean really get it out. Like this.

[ Breathes deeply ] Ahhhhhhhhhhh!

Chelsea: [ Chuckles ]

Billy: Whew. Go ahead. Give it a try.

Chelsea: Me? Oh, no way. No. Everybody in this town thinks I’m nuts as it is.

Billy: No. Don’t worry about anybody else, okay? This is about you. Come on. Take everything that is pent up inside and scream it out. You’ll be surprised how freeing it feels.

Chelsea: [ Breathes deeply ] Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

[ Exhales sharply ]

[ Laughs ]

[ Breathing deeply ]

Traci: Hey. Are you looking for somebody?

Victoria: Uh…billy. Have you seen him?

Traci: Oh, um, he left a little while ago. Something came up, and I assume it was business.

Victoria: Oh, probably. Duty calls and all that. Thank you.

Traci: You’re welcome.

Noah: Oh, these are lovely. Just one more.

Jack: Here, let’s get one of you and allie. Come on. Come on!

Allie: And the happy couple?

Summer: Yes.

Noah: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, sure.

[ Laughter ] Now to work the —

Jack: I’ll figure it out. Here we are.

Summer: [ Chuckles ]

Jack: Oh, this is nice. Ready?

[ Camera shutter clicks ] One more.

[ Camera shutter clicks ] Okay, now a goofy one.

Summer: [ Laughs ]

[ Camera shutter clicks ]

[ Laughter ]

Jack: That’s it. There is your wedding photo. Have fun with that.

Allie: Oh, wow!

Summer: That’s good.

Nikki: Master harrison has something for the bride and groom.

Allie: Ooh.

Kyle: Presents? For us?

Summer: Show us, sweetie.

Kyle: Ooh.

Summer: Wow. It’s so pretty.

Kyle: That’s a great card. I love it, buddy.

Nikki: Wait till you see what’s inside.

Kyle: There’s more?

Summer: Ooh, let’s see.

Kyle: Ooh.

Noah: Oh, killer design, harrison.

Allie: Ooh, harrison, what are those?

Nikki: I understand they’re coupons.

Kyle: Coupons? For what?

Harrison: For hugs and kisses!

Summer: Oh, I love it!

Kyle: We’re gonna redeem some of those right now.

Summer: Yes.

[ Laughter ] Mwah!

Noah: Alright.

Kyle: Okay. Let’s take a picture. Come on.

Noah: Say cheese!

[ Camera shutter clicks ]

[ Laughter ]

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Phyllis: Ohh. Shoot. I startled you. Sorry. You seemed engrossed. Something important?

Diane: No, no. It’s just a minor work thing. And, um — and nothing is more important than kyle and summer’s happiness.

Phyllis: Nothing is more important. We have to enjoy these moments with them while we can, right?

Diane: Yeah, absolutely.

Phyllis: Uh-huh.

Diane: Well, I’m going to go mingle. We’re here today to set the record

Victoria: Tucker shows up at the same time that chancellor-winters is prepping to go public. I mean, it’s got to be connected somehow. Maybe he’s working behind the scenes with devon.

Victor: Or jill. You know, he was in bed with her in more ways than one.

Nick: As if there weren’t enough reasons for us to avoid taking control of chancellor-winters, having tucker mccall in the mix is a complication we cannot afford.

Victoria: Well, make no mistake. We’re not backing out of this. Scooping up chancellor-winters is too big of a get. And in no way do I fear tucker mccall. If he comes up with a plan, then we’ll just find a way to outmaneuver him.

Victor: My thoughts exactly.

Victoria: And we’ll know about any complications or potential hazards ahead of time because of our ace in the hole — nate.

[ Elevator doors open ]

Nate: [ Sighs ]

[ Elevator doors close ] Do my eyes deceive me?

Esther: Oh, nate. Hi. How’s my favorite doctor?

Nate: Now your favorite businessman, I hope. I know I have a lot of competition out there.

Esther: Well, there’s always room for one more favorite, especially someone as charming as you.

Nate: Oh, well, thank you.

Esther: [ Chuckles ]

Nate: So, what brings you by chancellor-winters?

Elena: I have a meeting with devon.

Nate: About what?

Esther: [ Chuckling ] I’m not sure.

Nate: Well, why don’t you wait in here? So, is this the first time you’ve been here since the merger?

Esther: Yeah. Mrs. C would be so impressed. It was a big move, and she’d be so happy that her grandson’s company has joined hers.

Nate: Say, you knew katherine as well as anyone.

Esther: [ Chuckles ] The stories I could tell.

Nate: Mm. She was an inspiration. To have accomplished so much in an era where it was rare for a woman to run a big company…

Esther: Yes. People underestimated her because she inherited the business from her husband, and so they didn’t think that she was qualified.

Nate: Mm. I know that feeling.

Esther: Really? But you graduated from medical school. How could anyone ever think that you don’t know what you’re doing?

Nate: Oh, you’d be surprised. But I’m sure it’s nothing compared to what she went through. I’m sure she’s had more than her fair share of detractors and naysayers.

Esther: [ Chuckles ] More than you can imagine. And the worst one was jill. She was a thorn in my side, too. It’s crazy how she could become co-owner of this company.

Nate: Ah. I never had any issues with jill. She’s always been so helpful. If there are any problems at this company, they have nothing to do with jill.

Esther: Well, yes, she makes me crazy, but I guess I do kind of wish that jill was in genoa city full time. I mean, in the final decades of her life, mrs. C made peace with jill, and they eventually became co-ceos of chancellor.

Nate: Wow. So, katherine was willing to share her power. Hmm. That’s fascinating. You know, I would love to know more about katherine the businesswoman, if you wouldn’t mind.

Esther: Mind? Oh, no, I-I’d love to.

Devon: Elena, I trust your judgment, so you can tell me the truth and tell me what I’ve done that’s causing friction in your relationship.

Elena: You didn’t do anything per se. I’m just saying that i understand why you’re putting nate through the paces. You’re running a business. The success and failure of every decision falls on you.

Devon: Yeah, and I appreciate you understanding that.

Elena: But I think the only thing nate cares about is making his mark and showing everyone that he deserves to be where he is, that he has the talent and the courage to operate at that level.

Devon: Yeah, I know that. And I wouldn’t have hired him unless I thought he was talented or I thought he could handle this job. I mean, he’s one of the smartest people I know, and I have very high expectations for him. But he knows this already, right?

Elena: I think he’s just frustrated that things haven’t happened as quickly as he wants them to or in the way that he wants them to.

Devon: He still feels like that? ‘Cause since he’s come back to work, I’ve been under the impression that he’s really making an effort to respect the hierarchy.

Elena: It’s just the way that nate is handling his feelings. I can’t accept it.

Devon: Are we talking about just him struggling with this transition into the corporate world, or is it something completely different here?

Elena: I’m sorry, devon. I’m gonna head back to work.

Devon: You sure?

Elena: I’ll see you later. Ever leave your clothes in the dryer

“The young and the restless”

will continue. Let’s be real…

Esther: Oh, my goodness!

Devon: Hey. What’d I miss?

Nate: Hey.

Devon: Esther, you’re looking beautiful, as always.

Esther: Oh, you.

[ Chuckles ]

Devon: Everything all right with you?

Nate: Yeah. Why wouldn’t it be?

Esther: I was just telling nate how mrs. C liked to shake people up. She wasn’t shy.

Devon: No. And she didn’t waste one second of life on this planet.

Esther: Oh, that’s for sure.

Devon: She had a motto. Remember that?

Esther: Yes. “Live until I die.” And it wasn’t just a saying to her.

Devon: That’s right, not at all. She grabbed life with both hands and lived it. She saw the places she wanted to see. She had a whole bucket list she checked off. She was even lucky enough to find love later in life.

Esther: Yeah, she grabbed this happiness and hold on tight.

Nate: Words to live by.

Devon: Yeah.

Esther: So, devon…

Devon: Yeah?

Esther: …Why’d you want to see me?

Devon: Well, I wanted to see you because I’ve been thinking about a conversation that we had not too long ago.

Esther: Uh-oh. What’d I say?

Devon: You were just telling me how miles and bella are growing up and how you’re not taking care of the chancellor mansion anymore.

Esther: Yeah. That. Yeah.

Devon: And so I started thinking about our whole principle behind forming chancellor-winters. You know, it’s because we wanted it to be a family enterprise ’cause that’s something that’s very important to me.

Nate: I can’t begin to tell you how I feel about being a part of this.

Devon: And, esther, you are part of the chancellor legacy.

Esther: Oh, that means so much to me.

Devon: Well, it’s very, very true. And we would love to have you a part of what we’re building here, if you’d like to be.

Esther: De– wait. Devon, wait, wait. A-are you offering me a job?

Devon: I absolutely am offering you a job, yes. Our receptionist has to take off for personal reasons —

Esther: Oh! Oh, no! No! The answer — yes! The answer is yes!

Devon: Yeah?

Esther: [ Laughing ] Yes!

Devon: Good.

Esther: Wow.

Summer: All I know is when i look back on the day that we chose each other again in front of all of our friends and family, the last thing I want to think about is —

Noah: A stupid stunt pulled by some self-aggrandizing jerk? Yeah. Yeah, I agree. We should erase that part.

Summer: Consider it forgotten.

Noah: And tonight doesn’t have to end. After party tonight. My club.

Kyle: Ooh. Are you up for it?

Summer: Mm, dance all night with you?

Kyle: Oh, I thought you’d never ask.

Summer: [ Chuckles ]

Allie: Ah, they kissed! That makes it official. After party it is.

Noah: Save me a dance. Or all of them.

Allie: Mm. Only if you play your cards right.

Noah: Alright, it’s official. I’ll see you guys tonight. Bye. See you, jack.

Jack: Good night. You know what? I think it’s a great idea. We could all use a little palate cleansing, particularly after tucker very nearly spoiled your day.

Kyle: I’m sorry. What happened?

Summer: Tucker who? What?

[ Laughter ]

Tucker: No, we’re still partners. I need you to continue to be my eyes and ears inside the abbott world.

Diane: And if I refuse? What, are you threatening me?

Tucker: I’m reminding you that you would not have been able to make progress with your son, nor would you have had any kind of important place with your adorable little grandson, were it not for my help. So I need you to continue assisting me until I can get a foothold. ‘Cause, you know, I’m facing the same uphill battle you faced, right? I mean, your crimes, granted, were more egregious than mine, which gives me hope — ’cause if you can overcome your obstacles, so can I.

Diane: To what end?

Tucker: Why do you want to know that?

Diane: Because I feel protective of the abbotts now. They’re my family. So I need you to tell me exactly what you want from them.

Jack: Are things that busy at marchetti? ‘Cause I honestly think you two deserve a honeymoon break.

Kyle: Oh, funny you should mention that. I have already lined up a villa on the beach in costa rica.

Summer: Mm, he surprised me. He even got me this cute little straw hat.

Kyle: Yeah, we’re still working out the schedule and things, but we hope we can get away in the next couple of weeks.

Summer: You know, as excited as I am about a romantic vacation, I’m still a little nervous about leaving marchetti and harrison.

Jack: Don’t worry about harrison. He’s got me, he’s got diane, mrs. Martinez, traci.

Kyle: [ Chuckling ] Okay, we get the picture.

Summer: Prepare to return to a spoiled kid.

Jack: No, we won’t peel any of his grapes for him. Unless he asks. You can always video-chat with him every night.

Kyle: We’re going to pack some picture books so we can still read him bedtime stories.

Jack: Great. As for marchetti, you’ve hired a great staff. Lean on them. Delegate. Look, you two take time. Enjoy the love you share with each other. You deserve it. We’ll take care of the rest.

Kyle: Okay, but what about our mothers? Is it safe to leave them without supervision?

Jack: At the moment, yes. There is a stalemate. I wouldn’t call it peace, but I — they’re not fighting. Take full advantage of that.

Esther: I should warn you — I cannot possibly start until tomorrow at 8:00.

Devon: Well, guess what. Tomorrow at 8:00 is perfect.

Esther: Really?

Devon: Absolutely. Yes. We’ll have the current receptionist start training you, and then I can go up and take care of everything in H.R.

Esther: I will learn the routine in no time.

Devon: I have no doubt that you will.

Esther: I’m so glad you thought of me.

Devon: Oh, absolutely. I’ve been thinking about you for a long time. I’m just happy that this opened up and we can make something work out.

Nate: Welcome aboard.

Esther: [ Chuckling ] Thank you. Oh! I am an employee of chancellor-winters.

Devon: Yes, you are.

Esther: Well, starting tomorrow at 8:00. Oh, no. Tomorrow? Oh, my gosh. I’ve got to find something to wear. I’ve got to go.

[ Laughter ] Mrs. C would be so proud of you.

Devon: Oh.

Esther: I got to go.

Devon: [ Chuckles ] Thank you. We’ll see you tomorrow.

Esther: Thanks. Bye!

Nate: Good move bringing esther on.

Devon: Oh, yeah, man. It feels like a missing piece to this puzzle having her here. Katherine always considered her family, so it’s only right that we take care of her like this, you know? But, uh, speaking of looking after family, when I asked you before if everything was okay with you, how come you weren’t honest with me?

Victor: Now as devon’s coo, nate hastings is perfectly positioned to find out if tucker mccall had anything to do with chancellor-winters going public.

Victoria: The more intel we have, the better prepared we’ll be.

Nick: Yeah, the sec has a name for that kind of behavior, and they don’t like it.

Victor: Son, no regulations have been violated.

Nick: Yet.

Victoria: Nate has also developed a personal relationship with a consultant that jill brought in to help with the ipo, a woman named audra charles.

Victor: Hmm. Good.

Nick: This is all assuming that nate can continue to lie to his cousins’ faces.

Devon: I asked you not that long ago how things are going between you and elena.

Nate: I said we’d work things out.

Devon: Yes, I know what you said, but I just had a conversation with her.

Nate: What did she say?

Devon: I’m not gonna betray her trust, but I can tell you that she loves you very much and she’s worried about you.

Nate: Yeah. I wish things hadn’t gotten to this point with her.

Devon: Well, I’m gonna say to you the same thing I said to her. If there’s something that I can do to help, I’d like to do it. So, let’s hear your side.

Nate: Elena’s been saying all the right things about me leaving medicine, but the fact of the matter is she never expected this to last. She thought I’d have fun for a while, but ultimately wind back up at memorial.

Devon: Hmm. I mean, I know a lot of your connection was based on being in the same profession.

Nate: Mm. When things got tense between the two of us, elena’s first instinct was to tell me to walk away from chancellor-winters. She’s still focused on the past, how things were. And I’m looking forward.

[ Cellphone pings ] It’s a business matter I need to follow up on.

Devon: Anything I can help with?

Nate: Consider it handled. And for the record, I’m committed to working things out with elena, and I’m hopeful it will happen because I love her. But I want to make one thing clear. I am determined not to allow personal issues to interfere with what I’m trying to accomplish here.

Devon: Okay. I appreciate your candor.

Nate: Better take care of this. (Hamlet) it’s beggin’! and I’m going to tell you about exciting medicare advantage plans that can provide broad coverage and still may save you money on monthly premiums and prescription drugs. With original medicare you are covered for hospital stays and doctor office visits but you have to meet a deductible for each, and then you’re still responsible for 20% of the cost. Next, let’s look at a medicare supplement plan. As you can see, they cover the same things as original medicare, and they also cover your medicare deductibles and coinsurance. But they often have higher monthly premiums and no prescription drug coverage. Now, let’s take a look at humana’s medicare advantage plans. With a humana medicare advantage plan, hospitals stays, doctor office visits and your original medicare deductibles are covered. And, of course, most humana medicare advantage plans include prescription drug coverage. With no copays or deductibles on tier 1 prescriptions, and zero dollars for routine vaccines, including shingles, at in-network retail pharmacies. In fact, in 2021, humana medicare advantage prescription drug plan members saved an estimated $9,600 on average on their prescription costs. Most humana medicare advantage plans have coverage for vision and hearing. And dental coverage that includes two free cleanings a year, plus dentures, crowns, fillings and more! Most humana medicare advantage plans include a silver sneakers fitness program at no extra cost. You get all of this for as low as a zero-dollar monthly plan premium in many areas; and your doctor and hospital may already be a part of humana’s large network. There is no obligation, so call the number on your screen right now to see if your doctor is in our network; to find out if you could save on your prescriptions, and to get our free decision guide. Humana, a more human way to healthcare.

Can a cream really

reduce wrinkles?

Nate: I got here as quickly as I could. What’s going on?

Victoria: Tucker mccall has returned to genoa city.

Nate: Devon didn’t say anything about his father coming to town.

Victoria: Yeah, I gathered since you didn’t mention it to me, which means one of two things. Either tucker hasn’t told devon that he’s here, or devon knows that his prodigal father has returned and he’s just keeping you out of the loop.

Nate: I wonder if he found out about the plan to go public.

Victoria: I had the same thought. It’s possible that he’s thinking of making his own move on the company. With him, anything is possible.

Nate: I’ll see what I can find out.

Victoria: It’s imperative that you do. If there’s a wild card in the mix, it could change the entire game.

Phyllis: You know, it feels so wrong having these secret meetings here, but then it feels so right.

Nikki: [ Chuckles ] Well, since summer is suspicious of our new civility, I thought it would be a good idea.

Phyllis: I mean, I can’t believe I had to swear to her that I wouldn’t try to run diane out of town. I guess she wants me to just stand back and watch this woman try to worm her way into the lives of everyone we love.

Nikki: Well, from what I can tell, you’re doing a good job faking it.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Thanks. So, tucker. His desire to give this very ostentatious gift to kyle and summer — could that link him to diane in los angeles?

Nikki: With any luck, it will.

Phyllis: Alright, so, you have big news to tell me. I’m ready.

Nikki: Thanks to victor’s team, we have a fascinating new piece of the puzzle.

Tucker: Trust me — I’m not out to hurt anyone. I just want what you got when you came back to genoa city — forgiveness and acceptance, mostly from ashley. I’ve made no secret of that.

Diane: I am sure that people are already suspicious about the two of us being back here at the same time. And if anybody puts the pieces together, then all the help you’ve given me will be for nothing. And I have worked too long and too hard to lose what I’ve managed to get back. So, please. Come on. Just please reconsider continuing to use me as your spy.

[ Knock on door ]

Victor: Mccall? I know you’re in there.
