Phyllis is next. Choking up, she says how much she admires them. They have a lot of tenacity and share the kind of happiness everyone wants for themselves. They’re living symbols of trust and their connection is profound and inspiring.
Jacks stands up to say that the best romance is in a marriage and the best love stories happen after a wedding. Venturing forth with your partner is the greatest adventure in life.
Not every couple could handle the togetherness they have but they handle it so well. It means a lot to them that they chose to have this ceremony on the Abbott estate. It is part of their family history now.
Diane gets up and explains she wasn’t at the Milan wedding. That was her fault and one of her great regrets. But that was yesterday and today is about renewed hope and love.

As they kiss and people clap, a helicopter flies in.
Tucker pops up. Everyone recognizes him. He wanted to say hello to as many people at once as possible.
Jack tells him he’s not welcome there. Tucker claims he wanted to bring good tidings to the couple.
The guests mill about complaining. Whistling, Tucker strolls over to Diane and tells her he’s glad she’s back from the dead and looking good.
Jack assumes he’s there to see Ashley but she’s not there and he wants him off his property.
Tucker just wants to give the newlyweds a gift. He hands them keys to a Bentley. They turn it down and ask him to leave. He pushes the keys in Kyle’s hand anyway and turns, telling everyone he will be sticking around.
On the way out, he asks to speak to Jack. He wants to speak to Ashley and make amends. Jack suggests he fly away before things get a lot uglier.
The guests find the gift creepy. Mariah explains that Tucker is Devon’s dad. They wonder if he is back for Dominick.
As everyone starts dancing, Nikki admires Jack for treating Tucker with so much restraint. He asks about her trip to LA.
She claims it was just about getting Summer’s dress and assumes he’s concerned about what Diane could be hiding.

Tucker heads back to his suite and sends Diane a text saying her secret is safe. She just needs to let him know the moment Ashley is back.
Back at the Abbott estate, Phyllis interrupts her reading the message. As Diane walks off to mingle, Phyllis and Nikki raise their glasses to each other.
In the park, Chelsea worries to her son about what’s keeping his dad. She gets a text and sighs. He’s stuck in a meeting.
Connor doesn’t see the big deal and suggests they just do whatever she planned. She tells him she has something to explain that could change his life… hopefully for the better.
She tells him he’s the greatest joy of her life. “What’s going on?” he asks. This is scaring him.
His mom explains that before he was born, she got pregnant with another child and made sure he went to parents who could give him the life she couldn’t. It’s his cousin Johnny.
Connor isn’t impressed that she handed his cousin over to Billy and Victoria. She explains his parents have told him the truth.
This means they are half-brothers and she hopes they can be closer, like family. She thought he’d see this as a good thing.
“Are you serious right now?” he asks, telling her this is all about her. He doesn’t want to talk about this anymore and orders her to take him home.
Chelsea goes to Crimson Lights and calls Billy in tears, asking if he can meet her. He’s in the middle of the vow renewal but her sobbing encourages him to come by.
Billy soon arrives and she explains she blew things with Connor. It’s like she can’t d anything right and really screwed up.
He tells her this is complicated stuff for adults and letting her emotions make all her decisions might not be a good idea. Maybe she should have talked to a child psychologist first?
She worries that she’s just hurt and alienated both boys and doesn’t know what to do.
Billy takes her onto the roof of the Gran Phoenix. That’s where he goes when the walls are caving in. He thinks she could use some catharsis.
They need to get all the anxiety out of her. The best way to do that, is scream. He does it and prompts her to try.
Reluctantly, she lets out a scream and then breathes deep and laughs a little.
