(This day ahead recap episode airs in the USA on Nov 21. Expect spoilers! Recaps go live by 4:15 PM EST daily.)
At the GCAC, Audra admits she was hesitant to meet with Kyle today. He thinks they had too much to walk away from.
She says she doesn’t need to be let down gently.
He claims he wants back in on her offer to go after Jabot. She’s not sure she can understand his about-face.
When she says Tucker isn’t convinced he has much follow-through, Kyle claims he does and has the evidence to prove it.
Tucker joins them.
The three of them go to the jazz lounge and Kyle plays a recording of Ashley that shows she’s been manipulating Tucker.
This isn’t news to him.
Kyle says this proves he’s willing to throw his aunt under the bus and Audra is impressed he’s such a sneak. Tucker chuckles.
Kyle says he plans to play the role of prodigal son and is sure his father believed his pitch.
Tucker is looking for any information he can use to ruin Jabot. Kyle reminds he wants to run the company one day.
Audra says the company is too stable right now and they need to weaken it to get leverage.
Kyle says only someone on the inside can deliver what they need and he doesn’t trust either of them.
Tucker isn’t impressed by his freshman class psychological observations and asks if he’s in.
Kyle warns him not to play him and they shake on it. Tucker advises him to run back to his family and Audra offers to walk the Abbott out.
By the exit, Kyle accuses Audra of trying to manage him. She reminds him she needs this to succeed too.
Once they gain control, they can build the company back better and stronger.
She heads back to the club as Tucker sends Devon a text, asking if they can see each other over the holidays.
After complaining about turkey, he asks her upstairs. She snaps, “No!”
He tells her to get her mind out of the gutter. He’s talking about bourbon and a burger.
At the Abbot estate, Jack watches Diane fidget with the cheese plate. She wants everything to be perfect.
He reminds her it’s Thanksgiving and everyone is coming together. She reminds him that his sister nearly stabbed her with a fork last year.
Ashely wanders in as Jack suggests they reflect on how things have changed.
She eats some grapes and Diane says they are all on the same team now.
They talk about how Ashley managed to marry and leave Tucker, something she couldn’t have imagined a year ago.
Her brother is shocked when she wants to invite her husband to the dinner.
She wants to invite Devon along so they can make amends. It will be a way to get at Tucker while he’s vulnerable.
Jack thinks having that man in the house will ruin the holiday and forbids it.
He doubts Tucker or Devon would want to come. He wants a day just for family.
She says some things are more important than eating turkey and wanting to take a nap. Her brother wants to keep teh family traditions alive.
His sister appreciates that and offers to meet with Tucker and Devon at the club instead.
Jack doesn’t want to argue and wonders why she’s so stubborn. She says it’s for the good of the family and will be fine.
He asks her to be careful and goes off to check on things in the kitchen.
Diane tells Ashley she wants this to be their first Thanksgiving without animosity. She understands her plan, but urges her not to sacrifice the holiday to Tucker.
Having her there means a lot to her and Jack. They talk about family and the directions life can pull you in.
Diane thinks that’s why the holiday is so important. Ashley is impressed she really seems to mean this.
Kyle arrives and says it smells delicious.
Once Ashley takes off, Kyle tells his mom about his meeting with Audra and Tucker. He’s back in.
Jack returns and tells them how important this holiday is. He doesn’t want Tucker invading it.
