>> Mariah: Hello,
madame manager.
Are you ready to clock out?
>> Tessa: Yeah, um, I'm almost
done. Are you coming from work?
>> Mariah: Yes, I got sucked in
by some very exciting reports.
And now, I am absolutely
starving, so I thought the
manager and I could, you know,
sit down and have a snack.
Unless that's not
going to work for some reason?
>> Tessa: Oh, no, no, no.
Yeah, that's totally fine.
Uh, just give me a second.
>> Mariah: Okay.
Something's bugging you.
What's going on?
>> Ashley: How long do you
intend to keep me waiting?
>> Tucker: What is this about?
>> Ashley: I'll tell you when
I see you. It's too important
to get into on the phone.
>> Tucker: Well, your text said
urgent, but I don't see
what there could
possibly be between us anymore
that's so important.
>> Ashley: Well, let me
show you.
>> Tucker: Again, what is the
point, Ashley?
It's very late. I'm getting
ready to go to Paris.
>> Ashley: Without me?
>> Tucker: Yes, without you.
With Audra.
But don't worry, on your behalf,
I will throw some chairs
and break some glasses
at our favorite bistro.
>> Ashley: That's very funny.
It's also ancient history.
>> Tucker: Would you please
stop? This is getting so old.
So either wish me a bon voyage
or hang up. Either way,
this conversation is over.
>> Ashley: Trust me, when I talk
to you face to face,
you're going to rethink
Paris. You're going to
rethink everything.
♪♪
>> Nikki: I'm sorry I had to
bother you so late.
>> Jack: No, it is never
a bother, Nikki.
>> Nikki: Well, I'm sure Diane
didn't appreciate it.
>> Jack: Diane understands,
and I am happy to be here,
particularly as it seems
you are here alone.
>> Nikki: Everybody else is in
bed. I-- I couldn't sleep.
My mind is swimming.
>> Jack: Okay, okay, well I'm--
>> Nikki: It's been a
rough night.
>> Jack: I'm glad you called me
instead of going out for a
drink. And thank God there is
no alcohol left in this house.
What?
[ phone rings ]
>> Victor: Hello.
>> Jordan: Hello, Victor.
Is this a good time?
>> Victor: Well now,
I did expect your call.
So, you told Claire that you
would reach out to me, right?
>> Jordan: How fortunate my
niece was able to pass that
along before that terrible fire
at Victoria's house.
>> Victor: Well, you had a busy
night, didn't you?
>> Jordan: I don't know what
you're talking about.
It's been all over the news,
I've just been reading about it.
And apparently,
from what I've read,
there have been no--
no injuries,
no casualties. Is that true?
>> Victor: Let's get back
to Claire, okay?
>> Jordan: Ah, Claire. Yes.
Why don't you
tell me, truthfully,
where she's residing now,
and with whom?
>> Victor: Well, that will be
her decision.
>> Jordan: How egalitarian
of you.
Quite a change.
>> Victor: So, Claire gave you
the message that I wanted
to talk to you?
>> Jordan: And I don't buy
a word of it.
[ Victor laughs ]
>> Victor: Well, one thing I can
assure you of,
I'm a man of my word, you know?
>> Jordan: Oh, Victor, please.
It's been decades.
Do you really think
that I believe, after
what I have done to your family,
that you are suddenly remorseful
over what you did to my sister?
>> Victor: Well, no, it's
precisely because of what
you have done to my family,
all right?
Obviously, I'm willing
to make amends.
Whatever you ask me to do,
to put an end to this
horrible story.
>> Jack: Did you have someone
bring that to you?
>> Nikki: No.
When Victor had
the house searched,
they must have missed it.
>> Jack: Nikki--
>> Nikki: It's full.
The seal is unbroken.
I didn't have any.
But I almost did.
>> Jack: Okay. You said it's
been a rough night.
>> Nikki: I don't even know
where to begin.
With the house fire or
my former sponsor's murder.
>> Tucker: You got 10 minutes.
>> Ashley: I only need five.
>> Tucker: So, does this visit
have anything to do with
Abby's visit earlier?
>> Ashley: Abby was here?
>> Tucker: Mm-hmm.
>> Ashley: What did she want?
>> Tucker: She thinks I must be
toying with you
because of how you've been
acting lately.
>> Ashley: How have I
been acting?
>> Tucker: So civil.
And admitting you were wrong
about Paris. Trying to persuade
Devon to give me another chance.
Oh, yes.
Seems you went a little too far
with that one, didn't you?
Set off major alarm bells
in Abby's head.
>> Ashley: Well, she doesn't
understand.
I'm sure she thinks
that you set me up to
pleading your case, and we know
that's not what happened.
>> Tucker: Yeah, I told her that
there's a possibility you're
setting me up for something,
but she wasn't having that,
so she has officially
put me on notice.
She'll be watching me, making
sure I don't hurt you again.
>> Ashley: How sweet.
>> Tucker: Yeah.
>> Ashley: How unnecessary.
>> Tucker: Yeah. Warned me
to stay the hell away.
>> Ashley: Don't you worry
about Abby. She's being
overprotective, but she won't
bother you anymore.
>> Tucker: What she is
is confused.
And frankly, so am I, by
all these bizarre 180s of yours.
If anybody's playing
games here, it's you.
>> Ashley: I understand
you're skeptical.
And that's why I'm here.
I want you to know
that I meant what I said.
I want things
to go back to the--
the way they were between us.
Because neither one of us has
ever felt that way before,
and we never will again.
Not with anyone.
The years that we've shared,
I mean, all the obstacles
that we've--
we've gotten through, right?
Our guards were up.
Well, I've let mine down,
and now it's your turn.
>> Tucker: Ashley--
>> Ashley: And this plan that
you have for Glissade,
Tucker, it's brilliant.
I want to be a part of it.
I want to be a part
of every single aspect
of your life, both
personally and professionally.
>> Tucker: Um, you see,
I don't trust you anymore.
>> Ashley: We're not good at
trust. We've established that,
but guess what?
I think I've figured it out.
>> Tucker: Please--
>> Ashley: Listen to me, please.
It takes honesty.
>> Tucker: No. You're not
listening to me.
This is not going to happen.
>> Ashley: It's not?
>> Tucker: No.
>> Ashley: Then, why did you
invite me up to your suite?
>> Tucker: I thought you might
have something honest
to say for once,
but clearly you don't, so
I'll just take the opportunity
to tell you to your face
that if you're running
some kind of scam here,
it's not going to work.
>> Ashley: There's no scam.
I have no ulterior motive.
I'm after one thing,
and you-- you know what that is.
>> Tucker: Hey, stop! No.
No. We're not doing that.
If you're-- if you're setting me
up for something, Ashley,
if you're laying some kind of
trap, I am never gonna
fall into it, okay? I'm sorry
if that messes with your plans.
>> Ashley: We love each other.
It's as simple as that,
and we were on track to be
outrageously happy.
The world was ours for the
taking. We got derailed.
>> Tucker: Stop.
>> Ashley: Listen, we can
get back on track.
>> Tucker: Stop.
>> Ashley: I just need you to
meet me ha--
>> Tucker: That's enough!
It's not gonna work.
>> Tessa: Wow, I did not realize
how hungry I was.
>> Mariah: Let me guess.
You haven't eaten
in hours, right?
Is that where you were on edge
when I walked in?
>> Tessa: Um, actually...
something happened...
and I didn't mention it
because it upset me,
and I knew it was
gonna upset you, too.
>> Mariah: Okay. Well, I promise
not to flip out,
so just tell me.
>> Tessa: Well, you know
how security at the ranch
has been stepped up because of
Jordan being on the loose?
>> Mariah: Yeah.
>> Tessa: On my way out,
one of the guards stopped me,
thinking I was her.
And I froze,
and it freaked me out.
>> Mariah: What? No!
They know you. They know us.
How could this happen?
>> Tessa: Well, this guy was
new, and once he figured
it out, he was so apologetic.
But you know what? It--
It really freaked me out.
>> Mariah: Well, yeah, of course
it would. That's terrifying.
And you know what? I don't care
if the guy is new.
He should have been
briefed better.
I'm gonna talk to Victor
about this.
>> Tessa: Thank you.
[ Tessa sighs ]
I mean, I know.
This woman is a menace,
and I am glad that
there's security, but it's
gotten to be a bit much.
>> Mariah: Yeah. Well,
it's been going on for weeks
now, and everyone's on edge.
>> Tessa: I'm worried that Aria
is picking up on it.
>> Mariah: I just hate that this
is what passes for normal
at the ranch.
>> Tessa: If this is the way
it's gonna be,
maybe it's time to move.
>> Jack: Wait, are you sure it
was murder? Could it have been
an-- an accident or a suicide?
>> Nikki: I am sure.
When we met for coffee,
Seth was very excited
about his decision
to go to rehab.
>> Jack: Could he have been
covering for your benefit?
>> Nikki: No. He wasn't
depressed. He hadn't had one
drop of alcohol the whole day.
He was not a man getting
ready to fling himself
in front of his speeding car.
>> Jack: So you think he was at
this bar to confront Jordan?
>> Nikki: I know that he was.
Victor and I went there
to the bar, and one of the
officers said that Seth
was seen leaving with a woman.
And then right after that,
the same woman came back in
and claimed that Seth said,
"Tell Nikki Newman I'm sorry,"
right before supposedly
killing himself,
which was a lie.
She pushed him.
She killed him to send me
a message. Of course,
she had disappeared by the time
the police got there.
>> Jack: Oh, Nikki, I am
so sorry about all of this.
>> Nikki: If only I hadn't
asked him to string her along
to help me, he'd still be alive.
>> Jack: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
don't start thinking like that.
This woman is a sociopath.
This is not your fault.
>> Nikki: It's only the half
of it.
>> Jack: Wait, what do you mean?
>> Nikki: Jordan wasn't done
yet. Shortly after that,
Victoria got a phone call
that her house was on fire.
>> Jack: What?
>> Nikki: She and Victor
raced over there, but the house
couldn't be saved.
>> Jack: Oh, my God.
Poor Victoria.
>> Nikki: And Johnny and Katie.
Thank God, they're
at boarding school.
Nobody was in the house, but
their whole life is in there.
>> Jack: But no one was hurt.
>> Nikki: Yeah, I'm sure
Jordan will be disappointed
to hear about that.
>> Jack: And I'm sure Victor
has his security team
and the police on high alert.
I mean, took-- I had to go
through several checkpoints
to get in here.
>> Nikki: They can't be
everywhere all at once.
And I am terrified for my family
and how much I want
to have a drink.
>> Jack: Okay, um, we could
make a meeting
if we left right now.
>> Nikki: Let's go.
>> Jordan: I don't know exactly
what is supposed to end.
I'm merely trying to live my
life. You're the ones that
stole Claire from me
and turned her against me.
>> Victor: Given that you stole
her from us when she was a baby.
>> Jordan: To give her
a better life.
To give her a more honest life.
Something you would
never have done.
To show her what
real family loyalty is.
>> Victor: Well now, Jordan,
your loyalty to your sister is--
is deeply touching.
>> Jordan: My sister deserved
your loyalty, Victor.
Instead you treated her
like garbage.
>> Victor: Well, you know,
I have a lot of
regrets in my life.
None bigger than the pangs
of conscience I feel whenever
I think of your sister, Eve.
>> Jordan: So, tell me Victor.
Unburden yourself.
Tell me all about it.
Tell me what you're going to do
to make amends for my sister.
>> Victor: In order to do that,
I'm going to have to look
into your eyes, you know?
So, let's meet somewhere.
[ Jordan laughs ]
>> Jordan: So, I can walk
right into your trap?
>> Victor: Or I into yours,
right? I mean,
are you willing to take
the risk? I am.
>> Tessa: If Jordan burned down
Victoria's house,
what else is she capable of?
Aria is so vulnerable.
>> Mariah: Her safety is
top priority and ours.
>> Tessa: Right.
So, is the ranch really the
right place to raise our baby?
I mean even when the police
catch up with this woman...
the Newmans don't exactly live
a simple quiet life.
I mean there's something
always popping up with them.
I mean a new threat,
a conflict,
and everyone around them
just gets sucked in.
I'm sorry, I--
I don't mean to upset you.
>> Mariah: No. No, no, you--
you're not upsetting me.
I mean, I am upset about the
guard, but I'll get over that.
It's just--
Yeah, I-- I never thought we'd
stay there forever.
The ranch is beautiful,
and the tack house is amazing,
but it's always felt weird
to me, you know?
Living in a separate house
on Victor's property.
I mean, Sharon's house was
one thing, but--
>> Tessa: It's the Newman ranch.
>> Mariah: And we're
not Newmans.
So, maybe it's time
to create our own home.
>> Nikki: Hi.
My name is Nikki
and I'm an alcoholic.
This has been one of the worst
nights of my life.
Um, some of you may
know part of my story
from other meetings.
[ Nikki sighs ]
I have been through months
of torture...
where a mad woman who
knew my history force fed me
with alcohol through an IV.
She was trying to destroy
my sobriety.
And she did.
So, I found myself back at AA,
craving alcohol and desperately
wanting my sobriety back.
So, um,
I reconnected...
with my long time sponsor, Seth.
And I think a lot of you in the
room know him.
And I'm so sorry to have to
tell you that...
Seth died earlier tonight.
He was hit by a car...
outside of a bar. Now-- now,
to be clear, he was sober.
He was pushed
in front of that car
by the same woman that I just
mentioned. Her name is Jordan.
And I know
that she is responsible
for killing him. I-- I--
I wasn't there.
I didn't witness it.
I don't have any proof.
But I know that she did it.
And I hate her for it.
I hate her even more
than I did before.
And I just feel
such tremendous guilt.
Because, without my knowing,
she tricked Seth
into believing that she and I
were friends and she used him
to spy on me.
And so then when I realized
what she was up to I--
I asked him
to keep her on the hook so that
the police could catch her.
And he was so eager to help me,
I mean that's just
the kind of man he was.
He always went above and beyond
for me. And this time
it cost him his life
And now I-- I wish
that I hadn't asked him
to help me, you know?
But I did, and so I feel
partially responsible.
And it will haunt me
for the rest of my life.
And now...
all I want to do is drink.
I want to crawl
inside that bottle.
But I know that that would not
be the right way
to honor Seth's memory.
He would want me to be strong,
he-- he would want that
for all of us.
So, that's what I intend to do.
Because I'm going to make it
my life's mission to make sure
that that monstrous,
murderous bitch
is put back behind bars.
I want to see her punished,
not just lack of her freedom.
No, no, no, I want
to see her pay and pay
and pay for all of the people
that she has killed,
including Seth.
Frankly, I want to see her pay
with her life.
I want her to die in prison
and not from old age.
I want it to be
in the most horrific way,
unbearable agony
with her begging for the mercy
she didn't show our Seth.
That's what I want.
And that's what she deserves.
So...
if there is any justice
in the world,
if karma is real...
that's exactly
what she's gonna get.
Soon enough, soon enough.
>> Ashley: You're not gonna
intimidate me just because
you yelled at me.
>> Tucker: Why is it, Ashley,
every time I raise my voice
above a whisper you accuse me
of trying to coerce you somehow?
>> Ashley: I'm not accusing you
of anything, Tucker.
I'm here to tell you
that I understand you.
>> Tucker: Do you?
>> Ashley: Yeah.
I know that all this anger
and rage and suspicion is
because I wounded you so deeply.
I'm so sorry.
>> Tucker: Apology accepted.
Now, you can get the hell
out of my apartment.
>> Ashley: What are you doing?
>> Tucker: I have things to do.
>> Ashley: What?
Like take somebody
you don't love to Paris,
when you could take me?
When the two of us could be
together just like we
always dreamed of?
>> Tucker: This is just
too ludicrous.
>> Ashley: what do I have to do
to prove to you that I will
never hurt you that way again?
I promise you. Name it.
Name it, whatever you want.
I will never hurt you
that way again, I swear.
[ knocking on door ]
>> Audra: Tucker.
Hi.
>> Tucker: Hey.
>> Audra: What's she doing here?
>> Tucker: Just
leaving, actually.
[ Ashley sighs ]
>> Ashley: I give that kiss
about a three out of ten.
>> Audra: What's going on here?
>> Ashley: Let me explain it
to you, Audra,
and I'll speak slowly
so you can understand me.
Tucker and I will be
husband and wife again.
I'm not going to back down
for anyone or anything,
and that's including you.
Because what we have
is a once-in-a-lifetime
connection between two people
that were meant to be together.
Now, I sabotaged that,
and I was stupid.
And now, I need to rectify
my mistake and I will.
You can count on it.
>> Audra: Ugh.
>> Tucker: God.
>> Audra: So suddenly,
she's madly in love with you,
and wants you back?
>> Mariah: Oh, Okay.
Is this what we're thinking?
Look, it's three bedrooms,
two and a half baths, it's
a little east of the university.
Walk to downtown,
got to love the commune.
>> Tessa: Um, is there a yard
for Aria to play?
>> Mariah: There is a patio.
No grass or trees.
Lots to take care of.
>> Tessa: But there's no room
for a swing set.
And what about privacy?
>> Mariah: Well, look, there's
a fence, yikes, but the houses
on either side look down
into the yard--
Excuse me, patio.
Yeah, no, this is definitely
more of a city center feel.
If we want green space,
we'd have to head to the park.
>> Tessa: Hm, I've never
thought of myself
as the suburban mom type.
>> Mariah: Oh, just wait
until Aria starts soccer.
>> Tessa: Oh, no,
can't think about that.
[ both laughing ]
Hey, what about
something like this?
Uh, newly renovated farmhouse
in park-like setting
on half acre with mature trees.
I mean, doesn't that sound
nice and safe and romantic?
And it's in our price range.
>> Mariah: Lovely. How far
out in the boonies is it?
>> Tessa: Oh, the boonies
are great.
>> Mariah: No.
>> Tessa: And in this case,
affordable.
>> Mariah: Okay, clearly,
we need to make a list.
Wants, needs,
absolute deal breakers.
We also gotta look
at interest rates, taxes,
all that stuff.
I mean, we gotta put a kid
through college someday.
>> Tessa: Wow, all this
and brains too.
>> Mariah: You know, I have
heard they come in
handy sometimes.
>> Jack: Venting all that rage
had to feel pretty good.
>> Nikki: Yeah, it did.
But I know it won't last.
>> Jack: No, it rarely does.
>> Nikki: I'll wake up tomorrow,
and Seth will still be dead,
and Victoria's house
will still be in ashes.
But being in front of those
people, and saying out loud
how much I detest Jordan,
that helped.
>> Jack: Yeah, I got that
by the look in your face.
>> Nikki: Yeah, serenity
mixed in with hatred.
>> Jack: Yeah,
something like that.
>> Nikki: Jack, you have been
my hero a few times lately.
I don't know that I would be
able to hold it together
without you.
>> Jack: Oh, sure you would.
No doubt in my mind.
I'm just glad you
don't have to.
>> Nikki: Yeah, me too.
Um, so I have just one more
favor to ask.
>> Jack: Ask away.
>> Nikki: Please take this away.
Even though I'm feeling strong,
you never know when the urge is
going to come back, please.
>> Victor: What is that
bottle doing in here?
>> Nikki: I didn't know
I had it.
As you can see, it's unopened
partly thanks to Jack,
and he was just going to
get rid of it for me.
>> Victor: I hope we don't find
any other alcohol on this ranch.
>> Nikki: Well, I'm not
aware of any.
>> Jack: I will see that it is
disposed of off the premises.
Good night to both of you.
>> Victor: Thank you, Jack.
>> Nikki: What are you doing
up and dressed?
I thought you went to bed.
>> Victor: Told you I have to
make a call from the office.
>> Nikki: At this hour?
>> Victor: Yeah.
It's late afternoon
in Singapore.
>> Nikki: Victor, can't it wait?
>> Victor: Sweetheart,
I said I have to make a call.
>> Nikki: All right,
it's just us.
>> Victor: Right.
>> Nikki: Why don't you tell me
what's really going on?
>> Tucker: You've got absolutely
nothing to worry about.
You can believe that.
>> Audra: Well, I just
walked in here in your suite,
and found your ex,
declaring that it's her
new mission to win you back.
Look, I'm not worried,
but I sure as hell am annoyed.
>> Tucker: I hear you.
That's fair.
But this was not
some secret rendezvous.
>> Audra: Then what was it?
Why weren't you at the bar
downstairs in public?
Why did this meeting have to
take place in a room
with a bed?
>> Tucker: Because she was
absolutely insistent that
we meet in person immediately,
and I was in the middle
of packing, so it was
more convenient for me.
>> Audra: Yeah, for her too,
I'm sure.
You know, if she was
that upfront with me
that she wants and loves you,
I can only imagine
what she had the brass to say
before I showed up.
>> Tucker: I can understand
you being pissed off,
but I just don't want you
to be jealous.
>> Audra: Jealous?
I have every right to feel
the way I feel
with this entire situation.
She's still around,
in our lives, in your room.
>> Tucker: Right, but you heard
my response to her, right?
You heard what I said.
>> Audra: She's not getting
the message.
>> Tucker: I don't know
how I can be any more clear.
>> Audra: You know,
tell me the truth.
Has she done this before?
Insist you get back together?
>> Tucker: No, never.
Which makes me suspect
there's some, uh,
strategic move at play here.
To what end, I have no idea,
but it's not going to work.
Hey.
I almost lost you once.
And...
I'm never going to let that
happen again.
[ Audra sighs ]
>> Audra: Well, at least,
I guess, you can see
what she's up to.
She's such a mess.
Did you see her reaction
after we kissed?
She wasn't cool or collected
at all for that second.
You know, that tough stance
of hers is sheer bravado.
>> Tucker: Yeah, just I--
I saw something in her--
in her eyes, though.
Different than that, it was--
She was confused,
like she didn't know
what she was doing
or why she was here.
>> Audra: I don't know,
I highly doubt Ashley Abbott's
ever confused about anything.
But at least
you packed for Paris.
>> Tucker: Oui.
>> Audra: Despite
the interruption, does Ashley
know that we're
leaving for Paris?
>> Tucker: The first thing
I mentioned.
>> Audra: Is she going to
follow us there,
hide in your suitcase?
>> Tucker: She might.
I'll be sure to check
before we go to the airport.
No, she's not going to
interfere with this trip.
>> Audra: I want
to believe that.
I just-- I can't wait to be
on that plane with you.
Just away from all of this.
Just you and me,
together in Paris in a way
we have never been before.
>> Tucker: I'm going to be
the absolutely luckiest
man in Paris.
>> Audra: You already are.
>> Ashley: Uh,
an Old Fashioned, please.
Thanks.
I think she suspects.
It won't be much longer now.
And then she'll be safe.
For good.
>> Mariah: Okay, look, look.
This one checks
an awful lot of boxes.
>> Tessa: Oh, the kitchen.
Okay, that kitchen is now
one of my must-haves.
Whoever designed it
thought of everything.
>> Mariah: You've always said
you wanted to learn
how to cook, so--
>> Tessa: Oh, there's actually
room to spread out.
We could even cook
together sometime.
>> Mariah: Oh, baby.
It's so great to have dreams.
[ both laughing ]
>> Tessa: Oh, the location.
Could it be any more perfect?
>> Mariah: Yeah, new roof,
finished basement.
I mean, ridiculous amounts
of storage, and look, look.
The little sunroom
overlooking the yard.
>> Tessa: Are you thinking
a home office?
>> Mariah: Uh, or a playroom.
Or both. [ laughs ]
>> Tessa: I love this, you know?
>> Mariah: What?
Looking at houses that
we're probably not gonna buy?
>> Tessa: No, planning
our future.
I mean, think about it.
We have a lifetime together.
We get to watch Aria grow up
for years and years.
Neither of us grew up
in a house with
a sunroom/playroom with parents
that adored us
and we get to give that
to our daughter.
And to each other.
I mean, it's incredible.
>> Mariah: We're living
the dream.
>> Tessa: No one else
I'd want to live with.
>> Victor: I told you
that I have to make a call
to Singapore.
>> Nikki: From Newman?
>> Victor: Yes.
>> Nikki: Right this second?
>> Victor: Either way,
why did you call Jack over?
>> Nikki: Because I was
in danger of opening the bottle.
You should be grateful that
I got a hold of Jack when I did.
>> Victor: All right.
I'm glad you didn't drink.
And I'm glad that he took
the damn bottle with him.
So, uh, why don't you get
some rest, sweetheart?
>> Nikki: Victor, I am not
letting you slip out the door
at this hour when I don't know
what you're up to.
>> Victor: I gotta get going.
Right now, okay?
>> Nikki: Tell me
where you're going.
Tell me the truth.
>> Tucker: Something's
not right.
>> Ashley: Well, hello, Jackie.
How are you?
>> Jack: Well, let's just say
it's nice to be home.
>> Ashley: I know exactly
what you mean.
>> Jack: Well, I guess
you were right about a walk
in the brisk night air.
You seem--
>> Ashley: What? Refreshed?
>> Jack: In a good mood.
>> Ashley: Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, honestly, for the first
time in a while, I don't know,
I feel like everything
is coming together.
Like, I've got this--
this vision
for my life, you know?
>> Jack: Without Tucker, I hope.
>> Ashley: Absolutely.
>> Announcer: Next week on
The Young and the Restless...
[ door clicks open ]
>> Phyllis: It's just difficult
trying to be the person
that my kids want me to be.
And at the end of the day,
I just feel alone.
>> Nikki: I'm afraid
I'm just not up to telling
stories tonight.
>> Claire: Not even
the legendary story of how
Nikki Reed met Victor Newman?
>> Michael: Don't make me
a liar to my wife.
No heroics, no surprises.
I promised Lauren I'd be home
in a couple of hours,
safe and sound.
>> Victor: Lauren has
nothing to worry about, okay?
