At the Abbott estate, Jack asks his sister how she is and wishes their dad was around to comfort her.
She tells him not to see himself short.
They know that with Traci, the three of them can conquer anything.
He goes off to get her tea like John would have.
Diane and Kyle arrive, arguing about work.
She says he’s been making decisions that aren’t his to make.
Ashley makes her presence known and they all invite her to dinner.
She’s feeling beat and wants to stay home and rest. She tells them they can bring her back some cheesecake.
As soon as she is alone, she starts to hear voices and screams, grabbing her head before running for the door.
Ashley gets in a car. The voice in her head says it’s time to take control.
Tucker and Audra relax in his bed.
He asks why she’s smiling.
She’s happy and giggles.
That makes him happy and he says she’s about to get happier.
When he says he has a surprise for her, she starts guessing what it could be.
Once she guesses plane tickets, she asks where they are going.
He wants her to take a jaunt to Paris to size up the people at Glissade. She loves the idea of seeing the city hand-in-hand with him.
He tells her he won’t allow Ashley or anyone else to ruin the city for him.
Going with her would make everything new to him.
She thinks he’s giving her the hard sell but he claims he’s only telling her what he should have long ago.
She takes this as proof that Ashley can’t touch them and that makes them unstoppable.
Tucker tells her that he’s right where he wants to be: as close to her as possible.
They kiss and she rests on his chest.
After they get dressed, he was cheeseburgers. She tells him he can have what he wants.
He’s feeling optimistic. He’s with his best friend and she’s the most beautiful woman in the world and their future is so bright he’s squinting.
“Look out world! There’s a new power couple in town!” he declares.
They go down to the dining room and talk about the plans for Glissade.
She wonders if they will relocate to Paris.
She will go anywhere he goes.
Audra admits it feels weird to finally admit she cares about him.
It’s scary and she didn’t know she was scared of anything.
He says they have been cowardly with each other.
She worries this could be too good to be true.
He promises it is good and true as well as long overdue.
She assumes he wants to stay there. He assures her he’s not interested in any of the “old crap.”
She guesses it’s about Devon and Dominic. Tucker confirms it and wonders if he’s crazy for not walking away.
Audra can see how much the disconnect hurts him. She knows nothing hurts like the pain of being estranged from your own family.
He won’t asks about that but notes it.
She suggests he do nothing with his son. Just wait until the dust settles.
That’s not something he excels at.
She urges him not to scheme and show that he’s changed by doing the last thing he would expect.
McCall thinks she’s amazing.
Ashley walks in, glares at them and walks up the steps.
Audra offers to buy Tucker a nightcap. He loves that idea and walks off to make some calls first.
Diane, Kyle, and Jack go to Society and Abby pours them the latest wine.
Diane and her son toast him and ask how Ashley is doing.
Jack thinks his sister is coming out the other side of this.
They vent about all the damage Tucker has done to them.
Diane wonders how they can stop him and Jack says they need to make the company defensible.
Tessa shows up and tells Abby that her wife has blessed her taking the job offer.
But she wants to make some serious changes.
She wants to give the place a major makeover, remove some tables and have dance nights with a large dance floor.
Abby snaps no. Tessa chuckles. She was just joking and knows no one could even handle changing the empanada recipe.
Tessa needs some flexibility in her work schedule because of Aria. Abby expected that and it’s no problem.
They hug and Abby says it will be such a relief having her there.
She brings her to the Abbott table and announces that Tessa is the manager.
