He’s lucky and will have a partner that’s supportive if him and thinks one would return the favor and be supportive of Lily.

She shrugs. He thinks she has attributes that could be of service to him.
He’s motivated to see Diane. She knows what he’s getting at. She doesn’t know where Diane is.
Stark thinks they want the same thing. She huffs out a sigh. She admits she called him. She knew he’d scare Diane out of town.
She puts her head in her hands and admits she has no proof that Diane went to the feds. She made it up.
She’s grateful he got her out of town but she’s sorry she inconvenienced him and that he’s there.
She thinks he could leave now. “We’re done.”

Tucker brings Ashley to what appears to be Chancellor park.
It’s set up for romance with a heat lamp.
He tells her it’s outside of the city and he wanted to prove he’s worthy of her.
He lays it on thick and tells her she has beautiful eyes and that he reevaluated his life after the car crash and realized he was missing out on love.
She grins. Is she supposed to believe he’s missed out on romantic love? He means his son Devon and their grandson.
Ashley calls him “a cute little boy.” Tuck wants to create a bond with them.
Work with Devon. Ashley finds this interesting. Is that his intention to get a piece of CW so he can work with Devon?
She draws a parallel between the two.
She recalls Diane admitting that he wanted the financials for Jabot.
Is that what he’s doing to Devon? Is he going after Jabot and Chancellor Winters? He acts put out that they all think he’s got ulterior motives.
She mocks him. He admits he wants to work with her. He calls her brilliant and she rolls her eyes.
Imagine what they can accomplish. She says he’d never be welcomed at Jabot. He asks if she quit and let her build her own empire, what would she say?

She admits she made the anonymous call and told him so. She told him everything and suggested he go.
Summer’s glad she’s coming clean. She thinks he’s staying.
Jack asks if she’s looking for a pat on the back. She isn’t. He told her to stay away from him. He’s done with her. She tears up. As Jack or the CEO of Jabot. “Both.”
