He insists that he’s going along with things for the best of the family and admits he has regrets about being out at Marchetti.
She admits her regrets go back further. If they’d stayed in Italy, would they still be together and happy?

Jack interrupts and calls his son off to work.
Before he goes, Kyle admits to Summer everything would have been different if they didn’t come back.

Jack says it feels like he’s here to stay. His son says he’s down a rung or two this time.
At Society, Devon tells Abby and Ashley he doesn’t want to play games with Tucker.
Ashley isn’t asking him to pretend, but she thought that if he reconnected with him, he might back off.
He doesn’t want to forgive his father or pretend he does. Abby urges him to try but he doesn’t have this skill.
Ashley understands and takes off.
Abby tells him what a good man he is…but she’s starting to think they need to fight fire with fire where Tucker is concerned.

They argue about how to deal with this. She gets where he’s coming from but she’s still concerned about what his father is planning.
If Tucker pulls something off, it will affect him and Dominic.
She knows he wants to take the high road but they may need to get dirty.
He gets worried that she wants to go head-to-head with Tucker.
She suggests he put him on the board at Chancellor-Winters to show his dad she’s in this fight.
Chance walks into Crimson Lights and Sharon tells him he looks great. he feels good as new and notices she has some pep in her step.
She tells him the launch for Kirsten Inc. is coming soon. He’s surprised she’s keeping the name so she suggests he help her brainstorm.
The cop announces he’s made a decision about this future.
Sitting, he says he’s leaving law enforcement. She’s happy to hear that, especially after his shooting.
His mother has wanted him to quit for years and he can’t keep putting her through this.
Getting shot again was a wake-up call.
She says everyone who cares for him knows what they signed up for but he makes the world a better place.
He’ll tell his mom when she gets back, but he’s resigning today. It won’t be immediate, but he hopes they will spend more time together.
Sharon is happy to hear that and wonders if he’s thinking of going into the corporate world.
He can’t believe he’s been considering it. It’s like Katherine is calling him.
He’s not worried about figuring all of this out.
She suggests they celebrate his new life. He’d rather celebrate her.
Chelsea and Summer walk in. That’s awkward. The commissioner announces he’s stepping down.
Summer is sure that feels good. He thanks her for being such a good friend.
She plays with her hair and he takes off.
Sharon stares at her.
Summer and Chelsea go out to the patio, Summer looks at her work and says it’s a great improvement.
She’s sorry Chloe had to drop out.
Chelsea knows she just wants the best for everyone.
Summer has had enough upheaval this year. Her divorce is in progress.
Chelsea is sure she wouldn’t trade in the beautiful memories…and there’s Harrison.
She’s been down the divorce road and you just have to focus on the wonderful things that could happen.
She starts quizzing her about her interest in Chance.
Reluctantly, Summer admits she likes him but he’s seeing Sharon.
She doesn’t want to interfere.

Tucker stops by Audra’s room at the GCAC and says he just saw her boyfriend.
“Which one?” she asks. He means Kyle.
He’s concerned that Kyle has a lot of questions and assumes he’s gathering information and can’t be trusted.
She thinks he’s wrong, but he’s sure Kyle is after the Abbott’s “white whale” — him.
If he’s desperate for his daddy’s approval, he should be easy to manipulate.

Tucker thinks Kyle is “just a haircut.”
She worries his need for revenge is clouding his judgment.
