>> Daniel: Hey. Here you are.
>> Heather: Hi.
That took, uh, that took
a little longer than I thought.
>> Daniel: Yeah. [sighs]
>> Heather: How did Lily
take the news that we're
back together?
Was it too difficult to
tell her? Because in a way,
I would understand if it was.
Even Lucy was a little bit
afraid of that because you're
such a nice guy. She was
worried that you wouldn't be
okay hurting her and that you
wouldn't be able to go through.
>> Daniel: Lucy...
was worried, or...were you?
>> Devon: Hey.
Welcome back. Why didn't you
tell me you're coming home?
I would've got you
from the airport.
>> Lily: How could you
not tell me
about Daniel and Heather?
[scoffs]
♪♪
>> Audra: [hums]
Hmm.
Oh, definitely.
[knock on door]
[sighs]
Mm, I was hoping
it would be you.
Mwah!
>> Tucker: Well...
>> Audra: You know, I...
I know we're not leaving
right this second, but why not
get a head start, right?
What do you think?
[chuckles]
>> Tucker: Very nice.
>> Audra: Oh, you know what?
I'm probably packing too much.
I know I'm packing too much,
especially with
the shopping in Paris.
It's just so unbelievable.
But I just want to be ready
for every little thing.
Oh, and you won't believe it.
I managed to get us reservations
at that ultra romantic
restaurant with the view
of the Eiffel Tower.
>> Tucker: Audra, I...
would not have made those
reservations just yet.
>> Audra: Uh, why not?
>> Tucker: We have to postpone
the trip.
>> Abby: I am actually
officially on the board
at Chancellor-Winters.
I mean, I was a little worried
it wasn't gonna happen when
Jill made some noise,
but the vote was unanimous--
even Jill.
She wants as many Abbots
as she can get,
even after Amanda implied
that I might not get approved.
>> Ashley: That's nice.
>> Abby: You know,
I love Society.
I love everything it's become.
I loved building it,
but I didn't realize how much
I missed the corporate world.
I feel so energized, like I'm
ready to make a difference.
>> Ashley: So nice.
>> Abby: You said that already.
>> Ashley: I said what?
>> Abby: "That's nice." [scoffs]
>> Ashley: Well, it is nice,
isn't it?
I mean, you're on the board
at Chancellor-Winters.
You're exactly where you want
to be, and it's nice.
>> Abby: And your head
is somewhere else.
>> Ashley: I am right here
having a lovely lunch
with my daughter.
>> Abby: A million miles away.
>> Ashley: I'm right here.
Promise.
>> Abby: You know, Mom,
I don't know what's been
going on with you lately,
but you know you can talk to me
about anything.
Unless...
please tell me you're not
thinking about Tucker.
>> Ashley: I think that
the only one that's got Tucker
on the brain is you.
>> Abby: I'm concerned
about you, Mom. I really am.
>> Ashley: Well, you don't
have to be, okay?
Because I'm over him for good.
>> Abby: And I wanna
believe that.
>> Ashley: You can start
believing right now.
You need to move on,
and no more threatening him.
>> Abby: How would you know
about that unless you saw him
last night?
>> Ashley: I'm saying
in general, you've made it clear
that you don't want Tucker
anywhere near me,
Dominic, or Devon.
You've been very vocal
about that.
>> Abby: Hmm.
>> Ashley: So you threatened him
last night?
>> Abby: I went to his suite,
and I told him that he needed
to stay away from you.
>> Ashley: [scoffs]
>> Abby: And if he didn't,
there'd be hell to pay.
>> Ashley: I wish
you hadn't done that.
>> Abby: You can't stop me
from trying to protect you.
>> Ashley: I can take care
of myself, Abby, please.
>> Abby: Not where
Tucker's concerned.
>> Ashley: So, what else
did you say?
>> Abby: Well, it was bizarre.
Tucker seems
to think that you're just
pretending to forgive him,
and then you're gonna suddenly,
I don't know, turn it around
and screw him over.
That's crazy, right?
>> Ashley: Ridiculous.
Guess what?
I want us to consider
the topic of Tucker McCall
officially closed forever.
[snaps fingers]
>> Abby: Okay.
>> Ashley: Promise?
>> Abby: Just to be clear...
>> Ashley: Hmm?
>> Abby: You're not softening
towards Tucker, are you?
I mean, he's out of your life
forever, right?
>> Ashley: You know what?
I cannot rehash this.
We have been over this
a million times.
Let's talk about you.
Thank you.
It is your first day
on the board of directors
at Chancellor-Winters, right?
I'm sure Devon was
very excited to be able
to be working with you.
>> Abby: Well, yeah.
I mean, it was only
the first day,
but Chancellor-Winters--
it's just, it's wonderful.
The energy there
is contagious...
>> Ashley's voice: Ugh.
Ashley's daughter is
such a pain in the ass.
The questions, the questions,
questions about Tucker...
>> Abby: It is kind of
a weird dynamic...
>> Ashley's voice: And when
it's not about him, it's all...
[mockingly] "Me, me, me."
>> Abby: ...really working
through it. I think that...
>> Ashley's voice: Can't wait
until I've cleaned up this mess,
and Ashley can come back
to deal with her nosy,
irritating daughter
and her nosy, irritating family.
>> Abby: ...really just...
>> Audra: Postpone the trip?
Why? What's happened?
>> Tucker: The financial
director of one of the companies
we're acquiring has some
family crisis that precludes her
from being able to meet
for at least a month.
>> Audra: Okay, so one person
isn't available.
>> Tucker: And the operations
director of one of the factories
broke his leg and his arm,
skiing, and laid up for a month
in the hospital.
>> Audra: Okay, so two people
are not available.
That's not enough reason
to cancel the entire trip.
I mean, after all,
you know, Paris
isn't just about business.
>> Tucker: That's true.
That's very true.
But... [sighs]
>> Audra: Oh, but what?
>> Tucker: [sighs]
It just, it seems foolish
to make two trips.
One of the main reasons
we're going is to see how these
companies operate firsthand,
and we can't really do that if
two of the key players
are out of commission.
>> Audra: Mm.
>> Tucker: So, let's just--
let's...we'll go. We'll wait.
A month. Six weeks.
>> Audra: You are totally lying.
This is about Ashley, isn't it?
>> Devon: So you obviously know.
>> Lily: Yes, I know.
I go to Daniel's apartment
to surprise him, and I'm the one
who gets surprised.
>> Devon: How are you doing?
>> Lily: How do you think
I'm doing?
Daniel and I chatted
on the phone for months.
We video chatted.
He never said anything to me,
and you knew about it,
and you kept it from me.
>> Devon: I'm sorry.
>> Lily: Please tell me
you can do better than that.
>> Devon: I don't know if I can.
I...
When I found out, Daniel asked
if I would let him be the one
to tell you, and I said yeah.
And then I made him promise
that he would
as soon as possible.
>> Lily: Oh, so should
I thank you for that?
>> Devon: No.
Listen, I hated keeping it
from you, okay?
He hated keeping it
from you, too.
But we were both worried
that with everything you had
going on, we didn't wanna
overwhelm you when you were
trying to be there for Mattie.
>> Lily: You know, I know that
you are trying to protect me,
and I am trying really hard
to be mature and rational
about this,
but I really just wanna scream
and slap Daniel in the face,
and maybe you, too.
>> Lily: It's not like I forgot
that he and Heather have
a daughter and that
they're still a family.
>> Devon: Yeah, and having
that connection
to someone is very strong.
>> Lily: I know that, and I felt
it when Heather came to town.
I did, and he didn't want to
admit it.
You know? And so he's--
he's telling me what happened,
and he's breaking up with me.
And I'm thinking to myself,
I get it.
You know? I-I get it.
He--He wants to have a family
again. He's doing this for Lucy.
And it's like as hurt as I am,
it makes sense in a way,
you know?
>> Devon: It's very
understanding of you.
>> Lily: Yeah, and I'm--
I'm proud of myself.
And then I ask him...
if he's fallen back in love
with Heather.
[sighs]
And he tells me that...
he actually never
stopped loving her.
>> Devon: I'm sorry.
>> Lily: So, it wasn't
for Lucy.
It was for himself.
It's what he wanted.
So, it's like, what does that
say about our relationship?
>> Devon: You know that
I'm here for you.
And if there's anything
I can do to make this easier for
you and make you feel better,
just tell me, and I'll do it.
>> Lily: [sighs]
I know, and look, I'm... [sighs]
I'm sorry how I came in here.
I'm not--I'm not angry at you.
I'm not. [sighs]
I'm just...really...
really sad.
I thought what Daniel and I had
was special, you know?
And...
I guess I was wrong.
>> Daniel: I told Lily
everything.
A lot harder than I thought
it was gonna be, too, you know,
with everything that
she's been dealing with
the past few months, to...
have to tell her
that we're over.
>> Heather: How did she take it?
>> Daniel: Pretty much how
you'd expect her to.
She was hurt, upset.
>> Heather: Well,
I don't blame her.
>> Daniel: She did say
on some levels
she wasn't surprised.
>> Heather: Really?
>> Daniel: Mm-hmm. Yeah.
>> Heather: You seem...
Are you okay?
>> Daniel: Well, I may have been
a little too honest with her.
>> Heather: What? I...
What does that mean?
I don't understand.
>> Daniel: She asked me if I had
fallen back in love with you.
>> Heather: What'd you say?
>> Daniel: I told her that...
I never stopped loving you
and that you and me
getting back together,
you know, this wasn't just
about being a family
for Lucy again, but it was
about giving us another chance,
since I ruined everything,
and a real chance,
now that I'm not an ass anymore.
Although I don't know if
Lily would be thinking that
right now.
>> Heather: You're a good man.
>> Daniel: Mm.
Yeah, you know, I don't know
if she'd agree with you.
>> Heather: So, do you regret
what's happened?
>> Daniel: I regret
that I hurt Lily.
But am I sorry that you and I
reconnected and...that we have
our entire future together?
Not for one second.
>> Abby: There does seem to be
some power plays going on,
and it's weird 'cause
Uncle Billy is
in the middle of it.
>> Ashley: That is
so interesting.
I have to get back
to the lab, though.
>> Abby: Oh. Okay.
>> Ashley: I'm sorry.
You know how I am when
my creative juices get going.
You know, I'm working
on something that
I'm so excited about.
>> Abby: What is it?
>> Ashley: And ruin
the surprise?
You're just gonna have to wait
like everybody else, okay?
>> Abby: Oh, okay.
Yeah, I guess I should get back
to the office--
>> Ashley: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'll go get our coats.
>> Tucker: Audra,
postponing Paris has nothing
whatsoever to do with Ashley.
>> Audra: How do you expect me
to believe that, okay?
Especially after the show
she put on last night?
Her dramatic declaration
that she's gonna win you back,
that she loves you.
And that nobody, i.e. me, is
gonna get in her way of that.
>> Tucker: I don't care
what she declares
or what she wants.
I wanna go to Paris with you.
It's just...
now doesn't seem like
the right time, okay?
>> Audra: Okay, you promised me
that you wouldn't let her
interfere with our trip.
>> Tucker: She's not!
This has nothing to do with her.
>> Audra: And yet, here we are,
in Genoa City with Ashley,
popping into your room whenever
she pleases.
>> Tucker: Yeah, and you think
I have control
over what she does?
>> Audra: You can stop
opening the door,
stop answering her calls,
stop responding to her texts...
>> Tucker: Okay.
>> Audra: ...for starters.
You know, or maybe you can be
a little bit more convincing
when you tell her you never
wanna see her again.
>> Tucker: Audra, this has
nothing to do with Ashley.
It's purely a business decision.
In fact, would you like to see
emails outlining the problems
with the European staff
currently?
>> Audra: Oh, yeah, those just
happened to come in today.
>> Tucker: Yes, they did.
>> Audra: I'm usually CC'd
on all Glissade-related
correspondence.
Why wasn't I on these?
>> Tucker: I don't know.
You'll have to ask them.
>> Audra: You know what?
Maybe I will.
Maybe they'll give me
a straight answer.
>> Tucker: What is it you want
from me here?
>> Audra: The truth.
>> Tucker: Is this--Is this how
it's gonna be between us?
Every conversation we have
devolves into an interrogation
about Ashley.
I wanna be with you, Audra,
only you.
I don't know how many times I--
and how many different ways
I have to tell you
before you believe it!
And I know this.
I spent months, months
trying to convince her
that I was trustworthy,
only to have her
endlessly tell me, "No, Tucker,
you can't be trusted."
And if that's the way this is
gonna be, if it's gonna be
a repeat of that,
count me out.
[door slams]
>> Abby: Mom, I just wanna say
that you seem good, strong,
like you've put this whole
Tucker thing behind you.
>> Ashley: Thank you.
>> Abby: I just wanna say
one more thing,
and then we never have
to talk about Tucker again.
>> Ashley: Uh-huh.
>> Abby: Last night when
Devon and I saw you here,
and you said that you weren't
going to see Tucker,
was that true?
>> Ashley: Are you ever
gonna trust your mother?
>> Abby: [sighs] It's just...
You were so determined to get
Devon to forgive his father,
and I'm just afraid
that you're considering
forgiving him yourself.
>> Ashley: That was
for Devon's sake.
Honestly, I just--
I just wanted him to know
that I'd made a mistake
regarding his father and I--
the argument we had
in Paris, okay?
It was just to clear the air.
That's all.
>> Abby: Good.
So, now we can officially
stop talking about Tucker.
>> Ashley: Promise?
>> Abby: I promise.
>> Ashley: Okay.
>> Abby: I love you.
>> Ashley: Love you.
I'll see you soon. Mwah.
>> Abby: Yes. Mwah.
[whispers] Bye.
>> Ashley's voice: My God,
that was insufferable.
If you only knew the things I do
to protect you, Ashley.
>> Ashley: Oh, you look angry.
What's wrong? Audra?
>> Tucker: What's going on
with you, Ashley?
>> Ashley: I just had
a very, very long lunch
with my daughter.
>> Tucker: No, no, no.
What's going on inside
your head?
Help me understand.
>> Ashley: I thought I made
myself clear last night.
>> Tucker: You...You really
put on a hell of a show,
didn't you?
>> Ashley: I meant every word
of it.
>> Tucker: Did you?
>> Ashley: I know you think
I'm playing games.
>> Tucker: Maybe.
But I have some other theories.
Would you care to hear them?
>> Ashley: If it means getting
to spend more time with you,
then of course.
>> Tucker: I'm starting
to suspect you don't
really know what it is you want
or what you're doing.
>> Ashley: Well, now you got
my attention.
Wanna go someplace private
so we can discuss?
Wanna go upstairs to your room
so we can--
>> Tucker: No.
>> Ashley: Oh, right,
'cause Audra wouldn't like that.
Does that really matter?
>> Tucker: What Audra thinks
matters to me, yes.
>> Ashley: What happened
to Paris, Tucker?
You should have been on your way
by now.
>> Tucker: [sighs]
There were
a few business hiccups.
>> Ashley: Right.
I bet Audra believes that
as much as I do.
You're still in Genoa City
for another reason, something
that's much more important
and much more interesting than
taking some stupid trip to Paris
with Audra, and we both know it.
[footsteps approach]
Hmm?
>> Tucker: You're not you.
>> Ashley: I've never been
more me.
>> Tucker: Yeah, that's open
for debate right now.
>> Ashley: Think you have
all the answers, huh?
>> Tucker: Follow me.
>> Ashley: Nothing
I'd rather do.
>> Audra: [under breath] I'm so
stupid.
[sighs]
Damn it!
[sniffles and exhales deeply]
>> Lily: Guess I'm really
batting a thousand
in the romance department,
aren't I?
>> Devon: [sighs]
Just think that you haven't
found anyone that deserves you.
>> Lily: [chuckles]
[sighs] Spoken like a brother
who loves me.
>> Devon: You know, you can
take the day off
and go home if you want to.
Don't need to be here.
>> Lily: No, no, no, no, no, no.
I need to work.
I need the distraction.
Otherwise, I'm gonna go crazy.
>> Devon: Okay.
>> Lily: Um... [sighs]
What's--What's going on?
Catch me up.
You said that you and--
and Billy are having issues?
>> Devon: Yeah, we don't need to
talk about any of that.
You're going through what
you're going through.
>> Lily: No, no, no. I...
I wanna know. I-I need to know.
Unless it's terrible news.
>> Devon: I don't think
I'd classify it as terrible,
but it's definitely not good.
>> Devon: On a positive note,
Chance is fitting in
pretty well.
He's been mentored by Billy,
for better or worse.
>> Lily: Oh.
>> Abby: I wanted to get here
a few minutes
before the board meeting--
>> Devon: Hey.
>> Abby: Oh, my gosh! Hi!
>> Lily: Hi. [laughs]
>> Abby: Oh. Welcome home.
>> Lily: Thank you.
>> Abby: How's Mattie?
>> Lily: She's good,
you know, back on track,
so I'm really proud of her.
>> Abby: Oh, that's great.
>> Lily: Yeah.
Um, and you? Congratulations.
You're on the board.
Very exciting.
>> Abby: Well, thank you.
I look forward to
working with you.
>> Lily: Yeah.
Devon's telling me about
the office intrigues, so...
>> Abby: There's no shortage
of those, that's for sure.
>> Lily: Yeah.
So, what about Billy?
What's he gonna do?
Is he going back to Jabot
now that I'm back?
>> Devon: I wouldn't bet
on that, no, 'cause originally,
I thought he was just here
to fill in for you
while you're out of town,
and he's turned his time here
into his own personal crusade
to protect Jill and her legacy
from us and our family.
>> Lily: Is this still about
adding Abbott
to the company name?
>> Devon: No, that's just one
of his many power plays.
He's on to a new one now.
>> Lily: Oh, yeah, well, he has
lots of ideas, doesn't he?
>> Devon: Well, this one's
Mamie's, actually.
She wants to divide
Chancellor-Winters again
and keep the name the same
but have the companies be
two separate entities.
>> Sally: Oh! Ooh.
>> Audra: I'm so sorry.
>> Sally: No, it's all good.
>> Audra: You know, I don't
think we've run into each other
since the first time we met.
>> Sally: Yeah, no, it's--
it's been a while.
>> Audra: Yeah.
>> Sally: I hear exciting things
about Glissade's
new lipstick line.
It's made all
the editorial "best-ofs,"
especially after
falling off the radar for years.
Do you have any big plans
for new products?
>> Audra: You know, you just
have to ask Tucker.
He's making a lot of
the decisions right now, so...
>> Sally: If I may be so bold,
what is it like working
with Tucker McCall?
>> Audra: It's probably
no different than it is working
with, uh, Adam Newman.
>> Sally: [chuckles]
[clicks teeth] Point taken.
>> Audra: [whispers] Yeah.
>> Sally: Are you staying,
or are you grabbing to go?
Or just if you had some time,
are you interested in maybe
joining me for a coffee?
>> Audra: Sure. I'd like that.
>> Audra: To both of us being
fired from Newman Media
and surviving.
[clink]
>> Sally: Cheers.
Yeah, working with the Newmans
can definitely be a nightmare,
unless you are a Newman.
>> Audra: Yeah, no kidding.
>> Sally: Yeah, when you're
involved with one of them,
it makes for even more
complications.
>> Audra: You and Adam...
I-I've seen you all around.
Are you together now?
>> Sally: We are, yeah.
>> Audra: That's great.
>> Sally: [chuckles]
Not many people would
agree with you.
>> Audra: But you're happy?
>> Sally: Very. Yeah.
>> Audra: Well, that's all
that matters, and no matter how
complicated it is.
>> Sally: Thank you
for understanding that.
What--What about you
and Tucker?
I mean, if I may ask,
are you guys just
business partners?
>> Audra: Oh.
>> Sally: Or are you more?
>> Audra: Girl...more.
Definitely more.
Thank you for
not looking appalled.
>> Sally: Hey, I get it.
You know, we care for men
that are all about breaking
things and pushing the limits,
not so much about winning
popularity contests.
>> Audra: Well, let's just say
Tucker's not winning mine
at the moment.
I should be on a plane with him
to Paris right about now.
>> Sally: And you are
having coffee with me. Hmm.
Sorry. [chuckles]
What happened?
>> Audra: It was supposed
to be business...
and pleasure.
But Tucker claims
that there are some issues with
our associates in Paris, so...
just, we need to postpone
the trip.
>> Sally: And you don't
believe that?
>> Audra: How well do you know
his ex-wife?
>> Sally: Ashley Abbot?
Not very well.
She told me off once years ago,
but that's really about it.
Do you think there's still
something going on
between them?
>> Audra: You know,
I didn't think so,
but Ashley did this 180,
and now she wants Tucker back,
and she's not keeping
any secrets, you know?
She straight up told me.
Of course she did.
>> Sally: Wow.
Well, what about Tucker?
I mean, what does he say?
>> Audra: He says he's done
with her for good.
You know, but as much as
I wanna believe that,
I don't think he is.
So then the question is,
Is Tucker worth fighting for?
Or do I bail
before things get ugly?
>> Ashley: Do you think it's
too early for a cocktail?
I would kill for
an Old Fashioned. Hey.
>> Tucker: Since when?
>> Ashley: Mm.
I'm just full of surprises.
You're staring.
>> Tucker: See? Right there,
that...that whole
whatever that was,
it's not you.
>> Ashley: Maybe I'm the me
that finally understands what
she really wants, Tucker.
>> Tucker: You...
The Ashley I know...
>> Ashley: Mm-hmm.
>> Tucker: ...is subtle
and understated, thoughtful.
But the way you've been lately,
like that display last night
up in my suite,
declaring your love for me
in front of Audra...
there was something, um...
reckless...
and aggressive, dark.
>> Ashley: Mm.
All qualities that you admire
in yourself.
>> Tucker: You're not me,
are you?
>> Ashley: Well, maybe that's
the problem, right?
Maybe I need to be a little bit
more like you.
Audra went on and on and on,
blah, blah, blah,
how she's so much like you.
And you know what?
I'm willing to change.
I mean, I'll try
if it'll make you happy.
I think it's worth the effort.
What? You are no fun.
>> Tucker: At first, I thought
there was an end game to these
antics of yours.
>> Ashley: [scoffs]
>> Tucker: But now...
I don't know what's
going on with you.
>> Ashley: Okay.
>> Tucker: And I'm pretty sure
you don't either.
>> Ashley: I've been very clear
about what my end game is.
It's you.
>> Tucker: That right there. Me.
>> Ashley: Mm-hmm?
>> Tucker: You've hated me
lately, despised me,
couldn't stand the sight of me,
and now all of a sudden, love.
I don't buy it.
>> Ashley: You can't possibly
believe that I'm still trying
to set you up, Tucker,
just so I can pull
the rug out from under you.
What would I have to gain?
>> Tucker: I don't know.
>> Ashley: Okay.
That's what I'm trying
to figure out.
Maybe there's nothing
to figure out.
Maybe I'm being sincere.
Can't you just go with that?
I want wanna give you everything
you wanted--
you and me,
the way we used to be.
>> Tucker: I saw something
in your eyes...
last night.
And I'm seeing it right now.
At first I thought it was doubt.
I thought maybe...
you felt regret that you were
going down that path.
But the more I think about it,
the more I realize...
it's not doubt, is it?
It's confusion.
>> Ashley: And what would
I possibly have
to be confused about?
>> Tucker: That's what
I keep asking myself.
And I don't know the answer.
But I've never been more
convinced that something's
going on with you, Ashley.
Something's off here.
>> Ashley: Oh, I see.
Okay, that's how you're
gonna play this.
I get it, um, because
you can't admit to me
or to yourself that you love me.
Now you have to make it out like
I've got mental health issues,
just like you did in Paris
after that fight we had--
>> Tucker: Oh, don't talk
about Paris.
Can you blame me about that?
Your recollection
of the fight in Paris had
nothing to do with reality.
Nothing.
And that would be problematic
coming from anyone,
but from you, who has
such a brilliant mind?
If there's something wrong,
really wrong here,
and if...
I have any responsibility
in it at all, I wanna help you.
>> Lily: Billy and Mamie
wanna divide the company?
We already went through this.
>> Devon: I know we did,
and I'm sure he's gonna be
bringing it to the board
for a vote.
Has he reached out to you?
Try and get your vote?
>> Abby: Let me guess.
He's for it. You're against it?
>> Devon: Yeah.
I'm very against it.
I think it's too much,
too extreme, too reactive.
>> Abby: Well, I haven't spoken
to him, but once again,
I am walking a tightrope between
two families that I love.
>> Lily: I guess Mamie really
came to town determined to shake
things up at Chancellor-Winters
and get us out of Jill's orbit
for good.
What do you think?
>> Devon: Uh, I think that all
hell's about to break loose,
and you probably came home at
the best worst time possible.
>> Lily: [scoffs]
Yeah, tell me about it.
>> Heather: Gosh, that must have
been so hard for Lily after
having been gone for so long,
to walk in and find
the three of us eating
breakfast together
and then to find out about us.
>> Daniel: Yeah. [sighs] Well...
[keys clink and clatter]
Definitely threw her for a loop.
>> Heather: Do you think
it's gonna make things
challenging at work?
>> Daniel: [exhales deeply]
Let's say "interesting."
Yeah, let's say that.
But, you know, we're all adults,
so we'll have to figure out
a way to make it work.
I don't really wanna
talk about this right now.
I wanna talk about
more important things.
>> Heather: Like?
>> Daniel: Like who is
Waylon Marrs, and are we
really gonna let him take
our daughter to the prom?
>> Heather: If he asks.
>> Daniel: Why wouldn't he ask?
>> Heather: We did find a few
good dress options.
>> Daniel: Oh. Good.
>> Heather: Good.
>> Daniel: Good.
>> Heather: Good.
>> Daniel: [exhales deeply]
I...I don't know
if I'm ready for this.
>> Heather: What about us?
Are you ready for that?
>> Daniel: You have no idea.
>> Heather: No more hiding
our relationship?
>> Daniel: Mm-hmm.
>> Heather: No more keeping
our distance in public?
>> Daniel: No.
>> Heather: We can just be us?
We can do this?
>> Daniel: Um...
>> Heather: Anytime we want,
anywhere we want.
Except maybe Chancellor-Winters.
>> Daniel: Yeah, no,
let's...let's not do that.
Wouldn't wanna do anything
that's gonna make Lily
uncomfortable.
Otherwise, um...I can't wait
to see what comes next.
>> Sally: Look, I know that
we barely know each other,
but I just kind of get this
feeling that I've been
where you are,
so if I can help at all...
>> Audra: [sighs]
You know, Tucker is just...
He's brilliant.
You know, he's unorthodox,
to say the least.
He knows what he wants,
and he goes for it.
Nothing stops him.
He doesn't let anything get in
his way, especially the rules.
It's... [sighs]
It's exciting...
intoxicating.
>> Sally: And you can't
get enough?
>> Audra: Mnh-mnh.
>> Sally: No matter how much
that little voice in your head
tells you to run like hell?
>> Audra: Yeah,
something like that.
You know, and I have run,
but I always come back.
And I thought we had gotten to
a place where, you know,
we had something real,
a committed relationship,
but I-I guess we don't.
>> Sally: Because of Ashley?
>> Audra: No, that woman...
[sighs] has always been
Tucker's ideal,
what he always thought
he wanted, even though all
she does is just torture him.
And if she's gotten
in his head again, I don't know.
You know, maybe they just
deserve each other.
>> Sally: Look,
from what I can tell,
you really don't strike me as
someone that would just give up.
>> Audra: Yeah, it's not
about giving up.
I just don't wanna
get hurt again.
>> Sally: I get that.
Really, I do, 'cause when Adam
broke my heart, I-I...
I was done. I was over him.
And I did everything I could
to purge him from every cell
of my body, but...
I just couldn't, you know?
And eventually I realized
when you have a love like that,
a once-in-a-lifetime love...
sometimes it's worth the risk.
It's worth fighting
to be a couple again.
And, look, I don't know.
But if you and Tucker share
what Adam and I have,
it sounds like maybe
you need to fight harder
for what you have.
>> Ashley: Well...
I have to tell you,
I'm doing better than I have
in a really long time.
So, you can't help me because
there's nothing wrong with me.
I just want things to go back
to the way they were before
I messed everything up.
>> Tucker: Yes, you keep
saying that.
>> Ashley: Because it's
the truth.
>> Tucker: I see.
So, if we got back together
this time, you would, uh,
you would abandon your family.
Hmm?
And our relationship,
our partnership would be
your sole focus?
Us, and to hell with the family?
>> Ashley: In a heartbeat.
>> Tucker: [scoffs]
>> Ashley: I ruined everything,
and I deeply regret it.
And it will never happen again.
>> Tucker: Hmm. And I should
just believe you?
