Audra is packing her lingerie in her suite at the GCAC when Tucker stops by. She knows she’s packing too much but wants to be ready for everything.
She’s already made reservations at a romantic restaurant in Paris.
He informs her they have to postpone the trip.
The financial director of a company they are acquiring and the operation director of factory are both unavailable for a month.
She doesn’t think that’s enough reason to cancel.
He doesn’t see the point of two trips and suggests they wait a month.
She’s sure he’s lying and this is about Ashley.
He claims it’s not.
Audra reminds him that promises were made and he repeats this has nothing to do with Ashley.
She urges him to just cut her out and he repeats again that this has nothing to do with his ex.
When she demands the truth, he asks if all their conversations will devolve into an interrogation about Ashley.
If this is going to be a repeat of Ashley constantly doubting him, she can count him out.
He storms out.
Left alone, she throws things and feels stupid before stomping out.
In the dining room, Abby is having lunch with her mom (or who appears to be Ashley’s alter).
As she goes on about how energized she is to be back in the corporate world, her mom is clearly distracted.
Abby doesn’t know what’s been going on with her but wants her to know she can talk to her.
She hopes she’s not thinking about Tucker.
Ashley insists she’s over him for good and tells her daughter to move on and stop threatening him.
Her daughter won’t stop trying to protect her.
She says that Tucker thinks she’s only pretending to forgive him.
Her mom claims this is all ridiculous and the topic of Tucker is closed forever.
Abby hopes she’s not softening on him.
Her mom changes the topic back to her first day on the board at Chancellor-Winters.
As Abby babbles about work, the voice in Ashley’s head thinks, “Ashley’s daughter is such a pain in the ass! The questions about Tucker.”
She can’t wait until this is dealt with so Ashley can come back and deal with her irritating daughter and family.
Abruptly, she declares she needs to get back to the lab.
As they head for the door, Abby asks her mom if she was urging Devon to forgive his father because she planned to do the same.
Her mom claims it was just about cleaning the air and ushers her out, thinking about how “insufferable” Abby is.
Tucker walks down the stairs.
She surmises something is wrong and asks if it’s Audra.
He asks what’s going on with her.
After complaining about having a “very long lunch” with her daughter, she assures him that she is not playing games with him.
He’s starting to suspect that she doesn’t know what she wants or what she’s doing.
She offers to go up to his room to discuss this. He turns her down.
She taunts him about Audra and not jetting off with her.
“You’re not you,” he says.
She claims she’s never been more herself.
She smiles as he leads her off.
They go down to the jazz lounge and she wants an old fashioned.
He’s confused by her acting out of character.
The Ashley he knows is subtle and thoughtful.
Nothing like the way she’s been behaving: reckless, aggressive and dark.
She suggests she’s being more like him.
She’s willing to change if it will make him happy.
When she lunges to kiss him, he holds her back.
She complains he’s no fun.
It’s starting to seem to him like she has no idea what the end game to her antics is.
She claims it’s him but he doesn’t buy it.
Ashley claims she’s sincere and wants to give him all he wanted.
Last night he saw something in her eyes that he thought was doubt but which he realizes is confusion.
He’s never been more convinced that something is off with her.
She suggests he’s accusing her of having mental health issues just because she loves him.
McCall wants to help her if there is something really wrong with her.
Ashley insists she’s better than she’s been in a long time and just wants back what they had.
He asks if she would abandon her family and just focus on them.
“In a heartbeat,” she says.
She kisses him and he kisses her back. They start making out.
Audra bumps into Sally at Crimson Lights and they have some small talk about business.
Spectra asks her what it’s like to work with Tucker.
Audra is sure it’s like working with Adam.
Sally asks her to join her for a coffee.
They sit and toast to both surviving from being fired from Newman.
Audra tells her it’s great she’s with Adam.
Sally says not many people would agree with her and thanks her.
Audra tells her that she and Tucker are more than business partners and thanks her for not looking horrified.
They both like men who break things.
Audra admits Tucker is on her bad side right now because he’s postponed their trip and she thinks it’s due to his ex.
Ashley wants him back and straight up told her.
He claims he’s done with her but she doubts it.
She’s not sure if he’s worth fighting for or if she should bail before it get ugly.
Sally feels like she’s been where she is.
Audra explains Tucker is brilliant and unorthodox.
That’s exciting and intoxicating.
She’s run from it but she always comes back.
She thought they were finally committed but “that woman” seems to be back in his head again.
The Spectra gets that she doesn’t want to be hurt again.
She did all she could to purge Adam,. but she couldn’t.
When you have a once in a lifetime love like that, it can be worth fighting for.
She urges Audra to fight harder.
