Update written by Barbara

At the Abbott House, Kyle and Summer affirm their love and Summer adheres to the necessity of taking Harrison with her to Paris for the textile show.

Phyllis goes to Crimson Lights, runs into Tucker there and asks him if he meant what he told her about “burning it all down.” Tucker says that he was “deadly serious” about it, but since Phyllis blew him off when he mentioned it to her, “the deal is off the table”.

She proceeds to tell Tucker that he needs a reality check, mentioning how he came to Genoa City, throwing money around, including the use of private jets, but people are onto him. She mentions that the people in Genoa City are smart and he will never be one of them.

Phyllis presents three options to Tucker – fix things that are broken with his family, leave Genoa City, or “burn it all down” like he mentioned – and she says that the choice is up to him.

Later on, Phyllis stops by the Abbott house and asks to speak with Summer in private. Kyle is resistant at first, then agrees to go upstairs and pack Harrison’s things for the Paris trip.

Phyllis tells Summer that she wants to make amends.  In the course of their conversation, Phyllis realizes that Daniel had spoken with Summer about the tension between the two women and suggested that Phyllis reach out to Summer.

As the conversation continues, Phyllis brings up the idea of going to Paris with Summer and Harrison. However, Summer tells her that in light of what’s been transpiring in Genoa City, she just needs to get out of Genoa City for awhile with Harrison.

Diane bumps into Jeremy at Society and comes onto him very strongly. Jeremy is pleased, but reminds her of the loyalty test and gives her a deadline of committing a crime by tomorrow.

At Jabot, Ashley fills Jack in on how Tucker had a master plan to go after Chancellor-Winters and Jabot. She tells him that she found paperwork for a cosmetics company in her name and Jabot’s financial information in his desk at his suite.

Later, when Tucker shows up at Jabot looking for Ashley, he and Jack get into a heated argument about her. Tucker tells Jack he was just trying to help Ashley have the control and independence she deserves. More specifically, Tucker mentions that he would fund Ashley’s cosmetics company. Jack isn’t have any of it and throws Tucker out of the office.

Abby stops by Devon’s penthouse, where he tells her all about how Audra was a plant for Chancellor-Winters. Devon makes mention of how Audra was obtaining secret information to pass along to Tucker. He also say that Tucker was going to take over Chancellor-Winters.

After Abby leaves and Dominic and the nanny are out where he’s having a play date, Devon contacts Jill on a video call.  Having heard from Lily what transpired, Jill says that she is furoius with herself for bringing Audra on board with Chancellor-Winters. She also mentions how bad this will look in the public eye because they were conned by her. She also that they have to put the IPO on hold again, to thoroughly check out Audra’s prep for the IPO to be sure they weren’t sabotaged by her.

In no uncertain terms, Devon lets Jill know that the merger between Chancellor and Hamilton-Winters was a mistake and has been a disaster.  She asks him what he is getting at and he tells her that he wants to buy Hamilton-Winters back. Jill says that he’s having an extreme reaction to the current situation and would be making a huge mistake.

Devon counters that he thinks it’s a very logical solution to the issues they’ve been having.  He adds that there’s actually truth to some of the things Nate said to him, such as Devon being protective of what he and Neil created, and how Devon doesn’t want outsiders to influence his legacy. Jill urges him to change Devon to change his mind, but he is unwavering in his decision. It’s final.

At Newman Media, Nate and Victoria are discussing Audra’s impending interview for the COO position with the company. Nate asks Victoria to sit in on their meeting, but she is hesitant since Nate is in charge of that division of Newman Enterprises. Eventually, she agrees to sit in.

Both Nate and Victoria are very impressed with Audra and the kinds of hard hitting questions she is asking them about the company. Victoria smiles as she notes that with the boldness of Audra’s approach, it seems as though Audra is interviewing them rather than the other way around. After the interview is finished, Victoria tells Nate the hiring decision is up to him and leaves. Nate then hires Audra and they shake on her coming aboard as COO of Newman Media.

Over at Society, Ashley meets up with Abby. Ashley opens up and lets Abby know all about Tucker’s betrayal and how much his manipulation got to her.  She says she was stupid to have been taken in by Tucker, also mentioning that her brain kept telling her not to trust him, but her heart just couldn’t help giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Ashley says that in light of what has happened with her and Tucker, it’s best if she leaves Genoa City for awhile. She also mentions that she understands how Abby is going through some major upheaval in her life, but is firm in needing to get out of town. Abby is taken off guard by what Ashley has told her, and looks like she does not want her mother to leave.

In light of Jeremy’s looming deadline for Diane’s loyalty test, she finds Jack and lets him know about it.  Jack tells her that he has an idea that’s best suited to the situation. He mentions how he knows that Victor and Nikki have a pied-à-terre in Chicago since he used to go there with Nikki.  He also tells her that he knows the alarm entry code if it hasn’t changed and that he’s aware of the secret compartment where Nikki keeps her prize jewelry. He adds that since he knows the building and the staff there are familiar with him from years ago, it makes sense for him to be the one to steal something from Nikki’s jewelry there.

Diane is aghast, but Jack points out how the deadline for Jeremy’s loyalty test is very soon. Jack tells her that after he steals something of especially high vale from mething from Nikki’s secret compartment, he will give it to Diane to bring to Jeremy and let him believe that she had stolen it. Jack says that by doing things this way, Jeremy will have what he wants in regard to Diane going to great lengths to get together with him.

At Crimson Lights, Phyllis is distracted while Daniel tries tries to get her to prepare a top notch tech team for his gaming platform.  Choking back tears, she tells him she is upset because Summer chose Diane over her. Daniel decides to let Phyllis know about his conversation with Summer and what Summer told him about being in the middle of her mother and Kyle’s mother.

Daniel also lets Phyllis know that Summer feels there’s Diane’s presence in all of their lives poses a risk, due to Diane’s association with a criminal. Daniel urges Phyllis to reach out to her daughter. Phyllis decides he’s right, and heads  to the Abbott house to find Summer and make amends with her.

Meanwhile, at the Abbott house, Diane is having second thoughts about stealing from Nikki. Jack mentions that Nikki is the ideal victim and urges Diane to move ahead with the plan.

When Ashley comes into the living room, she angrily mentions that Diane and Jack are  “conspiring”. Diane says that she doesn’t want to come between Ashley and Jack, which causes Ashley to storm out of the house. She goes over to Tucker’s suite at The Grand Phoenix. Apologizing for showing up unannounced, Ashley complaining vigorously that Diane is basically around all the time and has “infected” her family “like a virus.”

Tucker and Ashley start flirting, and land in bed. Smiling in the afterglow, Ashley admits to Tucker how she hates that she loves this and does not consider it evidence that things between them will work. Tucker realizes he shouldn’t push it and goes to take a shower. This gives Ashley the opportunity to look through some of his files.

One of them is a set of plans for a company named Ashley Abbott Beauty Incorporated, another is all of Jabot’s financial information. Tucker catches Ashley snooping tells her that what she found was an “exploratory” way of making a connection with her before he came to town. Tucker mentions that Ashley completely changed his agenda and tells Ashley that he knows she’s aware that’s happening between them is real.

After Devon gets information from his source that connects Audra and Tucker, he summons Audra to Chancellor-Winters. Lily is there when Devon confronts Audra and accuses her of being a traitor. Devon lets Audra know he’s aware that her phone’s text tone is the same as the one on Tucker’s phone, so clearly the two of them have been in cohoots.

In addition, Devon tells Audra he found out that the company with the name of the first song Tucker ever produced paid off her student loans. Audra admits that she knows Tucker, but  denies that anything shady is going on and tries to keep the Chancellor-Winters IPO moving forward. Lily speaks up, declaring that Audra is fired, and suggests that Devon have security escort Audra off the premises. Audra tries one final time for Devon to allow her to keep her job, but he won’t won’t back down. Any and all trust between Devon and Audra is broken.

After Audra makes a vague reference to the possibility of going to work for the competition, Devon reminds her that she signed a NDA she signed and tells her that if she violates it, she’ll end up in court by the end of the day. As Audra leaves, she tells Devon that it’s his loss. She also makes a snide remark about him being a poor judge of character because he keeps letting “foxes into the hen house.” She mentions his cousin, his father and now her, and tells him he has been played more than once.

Audra goes over to Society, where she runs into Nate at the bar. She tells him that she’s there to celebrate. She proposes a toast because she has moved on from Chancellor-Winters. She says that she is about to start on her next adventure. Nate wonders why she left Chancellor-Winters before the company goes public, and Audra tells him that that everything is in order for the IPO and they don’t need for what comes next. She does not let on that she did not leave Chancellor-Winters of her own volition, that she was fired.

Nate mentions that he could use a COO at Newman Media, and she’d be a potentially good fit for the position. He lets her know that if she’s interested, she can throw her hat in the ring. He also tells her, however, that he can’t promise her anything. Audra says that she finds the situation intriguing and tells Nate to consider her hat tossed.

Devon bangs on the door to Tucker’s suite and interrupts Tucker’s time with Ashley. After Devon announces that any relationship that he had with Tucker is over, he lets Tucker know he’s aware that Audra was a plant at Tucker at Chancellor-Winters for Tucker. Devon accuses Tucker of trying to scoop up a controlling interest in the company before it would go public.

Tucker tries to explain, but Devon rages about how Tucker’s talk is “BS on top of BS” and lets him know hat Audra was fired from Chancellor-Winters. He adds that Tucker will no longer have access to his him, to his son and now that Audra’s out of the picture he won’t have access to anything relating to the family company.

Devon accuses himself of self-interest and greed. Tucker tells Devon that he’s misunderstanding the circumstances and is dangerously close to crossing the line with him. Devon is aghast that Tucker would even say something like this in light of all the lying he has done. He strongly

Devon lets him know that after what has transpired, he will make sure there’s no one in town who will ever defend Tucker for the rest of his life. He strongly suggests that Tucker leave Genoa City that night. After Devon storms out, Ashley, who witnessed the altercation, tells Tucker that she never trusted Tucker anyway, and sleeping with him and seemingly enjoying it was all an act.

She adds that she happened to be in the right place at the right time to witness what she did between Devon and Tucker, so she has seen the kind of person Tucker can be. However, after leaving Tucker’s suite, Ashley pauses in the hall, looking sad and pensive. Tucker slams his door and hurls a bunch of papers across the room.

Lily goes to Crimson Lights, where she bumps into Daniel. He asks how she’s doing and she references a work crisis that she didn’t see coming. She adds that she doesn’t want to go home yet so Daniel and just wants to stay at the coffeehouse for awhile and “talk about things that don’t matter”. He agrees to hang out with her.

Meanwhile, Diane is at the Abbott house with Jack and lets him know that she has the desire to kiss him again and what she is feeling is not a hold over from years ago or about gratitude for  how wonderful he has been to her since she got back to town. She tells him that what she feels now is different becauuse she is different.

Jack says that this is good to know and wonders why she is telling him now. She replies that it’s because she’s going to have a difficult time going through with their plan and pretend that she wants to spend time with Jeremy feeling the way she does about Jack. This leads to them kissing passionately.

When Phyllis shows up at the Abbott house, looking for Summer, before ringing the bell, she looks through the glass panes in the front door and sees Jack and Diane kissing. She leaves and winds up at the Glam Club sitting alone in misery. Tucker comes over with a drink in his hand, sits down next to her and mentions that she looks the way he feels.  When Phyllis asks him how does she look and how does he feel, he replies by asking her if she’s ready to “burn it all down”.

At the Society lounge, Billy and Lily are sitting side-by-side with long, drawn sad faces after their first couples counseling session. Billy tries to remain optimistic, telling Lily that they can continue to go for counseling and do whatever they need to save their relationship. Lily says “we need to be honest, as things have been heading downhill for months.  She asks him “we don’t need to keep doing this, right? We can’t keep doing this.”

Nick comes to Sally’s suite and after she welcomes him in, she spots the paper with the first trimester information by. She quickly but not discreetly crumples it upand throws it in the trash can. Nick asks her what it is and when she tells him that it’s a pitch draft she’s been working on for Jill at Chancellor-Winters, he offers to read over the pitch and reaches down for it. Sally manages to stop him, telling him that there’s no need until the pitch is completed.

Nick offers to get some takeout for them, which Sally is in favor of. After he leaves to get the food, she removes the paper and tears it up. Nick returns with nachos and extra guacamole. Sally calls him the “perfect man” … brings her soup and ginger ale when she doesn’t feel well, and nachos when she does.

She and Nick hit the sheets and when he goes to take a shower, Sally opens the bag of nachos, takes a whiff and gets queasy from it.

At the Abbott house, Kyle and Summer are having a disagreement about her impending trip to Paris with Harrison. Summer reiterates what she told Kyle at Jabot, that she is worried about the danger in Genoa City.

Kyle is concerned about the conflict this is bringing to his and Summer’s marriage. When he mentions Phyllis, Summer strongly suggests that he not make things about her mother, when it’s actually about Diane and one chaotic thing after another that she has caused since she returned to Genoa City.

Kyle reminds Summer that Phyllis lured Jeremy to town, but Summer says that a criminal mastermind like him would have found out Diane’s whereabouts anyway. Kyle and Summer look at each other lovingly and hug. Summer tells him that unless he is strongly against her going to Paris with Harrison, she wants to start packing. She and Kyle are on the same page about protection for their family so he agrees that she could go to the textile show in Paris and bring Harrison with her.

On the Crimson Lights patio, Sharon Rosales (Sharon Case) observes that Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) is deep in thought and appears distraught. She asks if he’s okay and he mentions that he’s worried about a friend.

After Sharon goes back inside the coffeehouse, Chance comes in and mentions that he’s been alright and will continue to be okay with eating dinner alone, without Abby and Dominic. Sharon convinces him to go get takeout and the two of them come back with Ethopian food from a restaurant Chance recommended.

Sharon is enjoying the food and the company so she suggests that they could do this again next week, like a private supper club. After a little convincing, Chance tells her that he’s in.

At the Glam Club, Jeremy and Diane are doing some flirting, the outcome of which is him repeating his request that she come up with a way to prove her loyalty to him.

Later on, Diane meets up with Jack on the Crimson Lights patio and is confident that Jeremy is taking the bait and falling into her trap. She has come up with an idea for Jeremy’s loyalty test, and it’s finding a crime to commit. Jack tells her that he does not like the sound of this, but Diane assures him she can pull it off. She mentions that with success, Jeremy will be putty in her hands.

She says that she will need to steal something of very significant value and Jack offers to remove a few items from the Abbott safe. Diane declines, telling him that this would be too obvious because Jeremy could easily figure out that he was being set up. She says that she needs to steal from someone who would never under any circumstances help her.  Jack and her rule out Phyllis for being too much of a wild card, and Ashley, due to her being Jack’s sister would lack credibility.

So by process of elimination, Diane says Nikki is left as the only coven member she could steal from. Grinning, she says that since Nikki was partially responsible for bringing Jeremy to town,  as she says that Nikki deserves a little larceny coming her way.

At the Glam Club, Ashley meets up with Phyllis, who has summoned her to tell her that Diane is back in Genoa City and never ran in fear of Jeremy. She also mentions that the situation with Diane is wreaking havoc with her relationship with her daughter. Summer no longer confides in her or trusts her after Diane has corrupted her.

Summer comes into the club, and when she interrupts Phyllis and Ashley’s conversation, Phyllis tells Summer that she is too hurt to speak with her at that point. Summer remains steadfast and after Ashley excuses herself, Phyllis asks Summer how she would like being treated like trash and not being believed, over and over again. Summer apologizes profusely and tries to make peace with her mother.

Daniel comes by the club and offers to get the three of them around of drinks, but Phyllis gets up, tells Summer she has a meeting anyplace but there, cannot continue their conversation and leaves. Summer then turns to Daniel and opens up to him, venting about how she is caught between her mother, Kyle and his mother. Daniel tells her that he’s always available to listen, but at the same time says that she never should have held back to begin with.

As much as she is upset with her mother for reaching out to Jeremy and letting him know Diane’s whereabouts, Summer lets Daniel know that Jeremy is a criminal and he would have tracked Diane down on his own anyway.

Summer continues her diatribe, telling her brother the kinds of the things she has been stuffing down just so she can go along with whatever Kyle wants, for the sake of their marriage. Daniel expresses concern about Summer lying in this manner.

Summer also mentions that she doesn’t know how much longer Kyle can turn a blind eye to the havoc Diane is creating before it starts to come between her and Kyle openly and seriously.

At the Abbott house, Jack is anxious and on edge about Diane’s plan to lure Jeremy into a false sense of security about her wanting to get back together with him. She asks Jack bluntly if he’s concerned that she won’t be able to pull it off … or that she will.

Jack tells her that he doesn’t think his feelings matter much, he is just uneasy about the whole situation. Diane strongly suggests to Jack that he put his personal feelings aside for the sake of making their plan work.

Diane mentions that she has to convince Jeremy he’s in control, that she is coming back to him freely. She says that in order to pull the whole plot off, she needs to return to the hotel.  Jack tells Diane that he does not want her returning there because it’s not safe with Jeremy living under the same roof.

Jack wants Diane to remain at the Abbott house, but when she is adamant about going back to the hotel, Jack reconsiders.

Kyle comes into the living room and joins Jack and Diane’s conversation. Diane tells Kyle that she wants Jeremy to think that she had been living in an apartment and moved out of it and back to the Grand Phoenix.

After Diane leaves the Abbott house, Jack and Kyle talk about how Phyllis has become extremely upset and when this happens, she’s a wildcard. Jack mentions to Kyle that he hopes that Summer can get her mother to see reason because Phyllis has a pattern of going to extremes, without thinking about the consequences.

At Devon’s penthouse, Abby arrives with Dominic so he can spend time with Devon. Tucker comes by asking for another visit with Dom. Abby agrees to it, but adds that she wants to be present during the visit. Tucker is happy to be spending time with Dom, particularly because Abby and Devon are going to be in each other’s lives forever, due to their connection to Dom.

For Devon and Dom’s sakes, Abby struggles to be a little nice to Tucker before he has to go. After Tucker leaves, Devon thanks Abby for being willing to let Dom and his grandpa Tucker have bonding time. Devon and Abby agree that Dom can never have too much love.

Abby lets her guard down, telling Devon that things feel so uncomplicated and right when she is with him. He lets her know that he feels the same way about her. They lean in for a passionate kiss. Devon tells her that he wants her to stay and she tells him that the feeling is mutual. Clothes come off and they make love on the couch.

Tucker goes over to Diane’s hotel suite, knocks on the door, and with his voice disguised says it’s Jeremy. Before she even opens the door, he let’s her know it’s Tucker, When she opens the door, she greets him with “you’re a son of a bitch.”

Tucker looks around the room and says it looks like she’s packing because she got a suite of her own to move into at the Abbott house. Diane is quick to correct him that this is not the case, it’s the other way around, that she moved back into the hotel from the Abbott house.

Tucker tells Diane that he needs to know when Jeremy is leaving Genoa City. When Diane asks him why, Tucker says he has big plans and wants Jeremy gone so he won’t mess things up. Diane lets Tucker know that she is displeased with him telling things about Jeremy to Ashley, because this only fuels Ashley’s hatred for Diane.

Diane also says that she has lost Jack, but Tucker disagrees, telling her that she has Jack wrapped around her finger. Then he says that in fact, he could learn a thing or two from Diane.  As he gets ready to leave, he mentions that they could both get the Abbotts of their dreams.

Tucker then goes to Crimson Lights, where he comes upon an upset Phyllis, who’s at the counter where the cream and sugar are, leaving Amanda a long, sad voicemail. Tucker picks up on some of it and observes that Phyllis probably needs someone to talk to. At first, Phyllis blows him off, but he persists, letting her know that they don’t need to be friends in order to have a mutually beneficial relationship.

Meanwhile, Diane goes over to the Abbott house to let Jack know that she has moved back into her hotel suite and has unpacked her belongings. Kyle tells his mother that although he hates the plan the three of them are involved in, he’s got her back and offers to help however he can before heading upstairs to check on Harrison.

Jack tells Diane to feel free to rely on him and let her guard down whenever she needs to. Ashley comes into the house as Diane is hugging Jack and thanking him for his support. Ashley angrily confronts them, demanding to know what’s going on.

At Crimson Lights, Sally is on the phone making an Obstetrician doctor’s appointment when Adam comes in. Sally is concerned that he overheard her conversation, but he tells her that he did not and just wants to make sure she’s okay. He mentions that she was huddled over and it looked like she was hiding from someone.

In a sullen mood, Sally tells Adam to mind his own business and continues to snap at him while he is trying to be supportive. Adam realizes that Sally is not going to open up to him so he gets up and starts to leave the coffeehouse. At the same time, Sally realizes that she’s taking out her stress on him so she tells him to wait so she can apologize for taking out her bad mood on him. She mentions that she is overwhelmed by things with work.

When she gets back to her suite after her doctor’s appointment, she plops onto the couch and asks herself “what am I going to do now” and looks at the paper she got that has information on the first trimester of pregnancy.

At Devon’s penthouse, he is in the living room having coffee when Abby comes down the stairs from the bedroom. Abby mentions that she knows she’s in the right place. She tells him she feels happier and lighter than she has in a long time.  Devon says that he feels the same way.

Abby and Devon hug, with her mentioning that she has to go home to change her clothes because she can’t be seen in the same outfit for two days.  She also opens up to Devon about how she no longer considers the Chancellor mansion to be home anymore since she’s no longer part of the Chancellor family. She says that she feels like an intruder.

Over at Chancellor-Winters, Lily finishes up a phone call with Jill, and Audra is in at the office. Lily is excited that Jill has pulled the trigger on the IPO, so it will be a done deal soon. When Devon arrives, he says that he feels like he’s being excluded from his family company. He reiterates that he does not support Lily and Audra’s decision to forge ahead with the IPO.

Audra’s phone makes a  chime for an incoming text, so she steps out of the office to give Devon and Lily some privacy.  Lily tells Devon that she and Jill are on the same side, which gives them the majority over Devon. She also mentions that unless Devon can find a valid reason why the IPO should not go forward, she considers it best for their company.

At the Glam Club, Daniel is sitting on a sofa, reading a text from Heather. She is letting him know that she is happy for him, but Lucy needs more time. Afterward, Abby comes into the club and chats with Daniel. She notes that his family isn’t with him in Genoa City, and he feigns uncertainty about when this will change.  Abby lets him know about her split with Chance.

Daniel leaves for a meeting and Abby sits alone, looking sad and pensive as she removes her wedding ring and looks at her bare finger.

Lily comes into Crimson Lights noting that Daniel seems troubled and down. He talks to her about Savannah and mistakes he made there, letting his jealousy and insecurity dominate. He admits that he shut Heather and Lucy out and hopes that his gaming venture will show that he is not a lost cause. Lily tells him that no one considers him a lost cause.

She gives him some encouragement, saying that there’s nothing in his contract that says he has to be in Genoa City. She adds that could go back to Savannah or to be with them in Portugal. She says that keeping his family together has to be his first priority. He’s concerned that if he splits his then he will do a “half ass” job on both fronts.

Lily tells him that she is here for him if he needs anything. Daniel says that he really appreciates it. When Lily glances down at her phone, he asks her if she has somewhere to be. She mentions that she has an appointment to go to or she would stay at the coffeehouse chatting with him all morning.  Daniel notices that she seems a litttle nervous. She dismisses it and says that she’s just a little anxious. As she heads to the coffeehouse door, she gets a text from Billy letting her know that he’s just parked at the “doc’s” office, and asking if she’s on her way.

Tucker has summoned Audra to his suite in the middle of her meeting with Lily so she arrives there angry at him. Tucker tells her that he needs the IPO to go through because he wants to have enough shares in the company to be able to work alongside his son. Audra lets him know that she is not sure she can convince Devon to accept the IPO because he’s paranoid, due to the situation with Nate. Tucker remains adamant about his plan to become a colleague with Devon.

Audra urges Tucker to consider Devon’s point of view and come up with another way to make the IPO happen. Then she beats a hasty retreat back to return to Chancellor-Winters so as not to raise any suspicions among Lily and Devon, slamming the door as she leaves Tucker’s suite.

At Chancellor-Winters, Devon and Lily argue about the financial merits of the company going public versus remaining the way it is.  She tells him that the company’s valuation will increase substantially by going public; Devon says that they’re making money with it being private and family-run.

At Jabot, Kyle and Diane are talking when she gets a call from Jeremy. She lets Kyle know that Jeremy wants to get together with her that night. Summer comes by asking to speak with Kyle, but seeing as how he is busy with his mother, Summer makes up an excuse to leave. She tells Kyle that she needs to talk to him later about Mariah’s brief leave of absence from Jabot to meet the potential birthmother.

Summer then says that she has to go into Jack’s office to get some files and while she’s in there she can hear Diane talking with Kyle about how Diane is as tough and wily as people have accused her of being. She assures Kyle that she still has her touch and she has everything under control.

When Kyle and Summer finally have some time together, he notes that Summer has been acting “frosty” to Diane. Summer tells him that the situation with Jeremy is scaring her and she wants to get a break from Genoa City by going to a textile show in Paris. Kyle is on board with this, and then Summer shocks him by announcing that she wants to take Harrison with her.

At the Abbott house, Jack and Ashley are having another heated argument, even stronger than previous ones, about Diane. Ashley accuses Diane of putting on a “poor me” act and trying to get herself into Jack’s bed.  An irate Jack shouts that if Ashley is so concerned about who he entertains in his home, maybe she should stay elsewhere. Ashley counters that it is her home too, so Jack hastens to let her know that he is not throwing her out.

Ashley goes on, yelling at Jack about how she will not be forced out of her own home because of his “sick fixation” on Diane. Taking things one step further, Ashley angrily reminds Jack that she has not been on board with Diane working at Marchetti under the Jabot umbrella, and mentions that she was never consulted about it.

Ashley finishes her argument with Jack by telling him that as far as she’s concerned, Diane will never be welcome in the Abbott home or the family company … “not ever”!

Tucker is at Society having coffee when Devon walks in and Tucker picks up on his son being upset. He asks what the issue is and Devon mentions that it’s about the Chancellor-Winters IPO and his concerns about losing autonomy. Tucker notes that this seems unfair because he and Neil built it. He suggests that Devon should could take Hamilton-Winters back from Chancellor-Winters, and run the business on his own again.

Tucker mentions that Devon has the resources to re-aquire the company and run it on his own. Tucker urges Devon not to let other people control his destiny and tells Devon that he shouldn’t be restricted by what other people want.  He mentions that it is certainly okay for Devon to go after what he wants. He adds that he just might be the guy to help him do that.

Devon says he will think about it and consider what Tucker has said to him as Tucker’s phone rings. Devon comments that the phone has a unique chime and doesn’t let on to Tucker that he recognizes it.  Tucker blows this off by chuckling and telling Devon that it came with the phone.

Once Devon is outside Society, he calls someone and tells the person to find out out as much information as possible about a connection between Tucker McCall and Audra Charles.
