>> Audra: Thank you.
>> Nate: Hello, stranger.
>> Audra: Nate!
>> Nate: It's been a while.
>> Audra: Yeah, you know,
I've been meaning to call you,
but I've just been--
>> Nate: Busy, yeah, yeah,
I get it. Me too, me too.
So, uh, where's, uh, Tucker?
>> Audra: Hm.
I don't know.
Around.
>> Nate: Ah, well, you two
are usually joined at the hip.
Hope that means you got wise
and kicked him to the curb.
>> Audra: Oh, well, sorry to
disappoint you, but Tucker and I
are as solid as ever.
>> Nate: Ah, too bad.
>> Audra: Is it?
>> Nate: Isn't it?
>> Audra: Well, we're
independent people who do
independent things, which I
think it's healthy
in a relationship.
You should try it sometime.
>> Nate: Ooh, smack.
>> Audra: Well, you
deserved that.
>> Nate: Look, look, I didn't
come over here to argue
with you, Audra. Um, truth is,
I miss our friendship.
>> Audra: Then stop badgering
me about Tucker.
>> Nate: Tucker McCall is
a cold, ruthless S-O-B.
He deserves a lot worse
than badgering.
>> Audra: That's a good start.
>> Nate: I just hope you
see it one day.
Tucker cares about Tucker.
Always has.
Always will.
>> Audra: Well, sorry to
disappoint you, but, um,
that ruthless son of a bitch
turned this entire restaurant
into a café in Paris where, uh,
he proposed to me.
I have to say, I've never seen
him more loving and tender.
>> Nate: And you don't see that
as a giant red flag?
>> Audra: No.
>> Nate: Come on, Audra.
You're smarter than that.
>> Audra: Oh, come on.
>> Nate: Look, all Tucker was
trying to do was recreate
a better version of his failed
Paris honeymoon with Ashley,
which doesn't surprise me
at all.
What does surprise me is you
not seeing it for what it
really is.
>> Alan: Ashley? Hi.
>> Ashley: Hello, Alan.
>> Alan: Um, I just want to let
you know I checked out of the
hotel and I booked a flight for
Europe this afternoon.
>> Ashley: You're leaving.
How sad.
>> Alan: Well, it's a couple
of hours before my flight
takes off, so I was wondering if
maybe I could see you
before I go.
>> Ashley: Um, a couple of hours
to psychoanalyze me.
Isn't that what you
really mean?
♪♪
>> Abby: So, Mamie called
an emergency meeting
at Chancellor-Winters today.
Why? What is it about?
>> Devon: Your guess
is as good as mine.
Billy wasn't invited,
whatever that means.
>> Abby: Well, that might be
a good thing.
And Lily?
>> Devon: Oh, yeah.
She'll be there.
And so will Nate.
One big happy family.
>> Abby: Don't engage.
Don't engage.
>> Tucker: Hi.
>> Devon: Hi.
>> Tucker: You two
are looking well.
>> Abby: Thank you.
Now, is there anything else?
>> Devon: Abby.
>> Abby: Devon, I'm sorry,
but you know exactly
what's gonna happen.
He's gonna pull out
his nice guy act
and try to butter us up.
I've seen it far
too many times.
>> Tucker: Actually,
you're right, Abby.
I was hoping to at least
temporarily soften
your opinion of me.
>> Abby: Too late.
>> Tucker: There's a favor
I would like to ask of you both.
>> Lily: Great. Keep me posted.
Thanks.
Hi.
Uh, you're early.
I thought we weren't meeting
for half an hour.
>> Mamie: Well, I was hoping
that we could talk beforehand.
>> Lily: Okay.
>> Mamie: The last time that we
spoke, things got a bit heated,
and I regret that.
I'm just hoping that we'll be
able to push through, you know,
because the stakes are so high.
>> Lily: Yeah, I-- I would like
to make peace, too.
>> Mamie: Good.
I'm glad to hear that.
>> Lily: So, what is
this meeting about?
>> Mamie: Oh, well, I-- I would
prefer to wait
until everyone's arrived.
I promise.
It's gonna be worth it.
>> Audra: Thank you.
I think you're reaching.
>> Nate: For what?
>> Audra: Hm.
Anything to justify your
completely inaccurate analysis
of Tucker's and
my relationship.
>> Nate: If you say so.
>> Audra: I mean, are you
forgetting that I've known
Tucker for years?
That we have our own history in
Paris long before that clown
show with Ashley.
So, your thesis
is missing a few facts.
>> Nate: You can tell yourself
whatever you want to, Audra,
but it won't change the outcome.
And did you say yes,
by the way?
>> Audra: Yes to what?
>> Nate: Tucker's marriage
proposal.
You're here casually discussing
it with me, so that gives me
hope you weren't foolish enough
to say yes.
>> Audra: Why the hell do you
care so much about what I do
with Tucker?
>> Nate: I thought we
were friends, Audra, and--
and that's what friends do.
They tell each other the truth.
>> Audra: Are you sure
that's all it is, Nate?
>> Nate: What else would it be?
>> Audra: Oh, I don't know.
But if I had to make a solid
guess, I might wonder if
there's some secret infatuation
going on with me here.
[ Nate chuckles ]
>> Nate: Okay, um,
hypothetically speaking,
would it matter to
you if I told you there was?
>> Abby: See?
You just made my point.
Can we go now?
>> Devon: Listen, we're not
in any place to be handing out
or taking favors
from each other, okay?
>> Tucker: Just hear me out,
at least.
You can give me that much,
can't you?
>> Devon: Sure.
>> Tucker: So I'm still on Dom's
music class email list,
and I heard about
a performance coming up.
I would very much like to
attend it.
>> Abby: No.
>> Devon: Yeah, I don't think
that's a good idea.
I'm sorry.
>> Tucker: May I ask why?
>> Devon: Yeah, 'cause we want
that day to be about Dominic,
and not about you trying
to force your way in
and cause a scene.
>> Tucker: Cause a scene?
>> Devon: Yeah.
>> Tucker: I-- I just wanna
attend the performance.
>> Devon: Well, what about
after the show?
Like when the parents want to
get together and take the kids
out and get ice cream
and stuff.
Are you gonna guilt us
into including you?
Or are you just gonna show
up and clap and support him?
'Cause you know nothing's
changed since the last time
I asked you to keep
your distance.
You're still the same guy.
>> Tucker: Uh, uh...
Wait a minute.
Before you go, Abby,
I wanted to ask you.
Is your mother doing
any better?
>> Abby: Better than what?
>> Alan: Ashley, I am not trying
to analyze you.
I, um, I'm sorry you still
see it that way.
My hope is that we can be
friends above everything else.
That's the only reason I came
to help.
>> Belle: I know you can hear
me, Ms. Abbott.
Alan is Ashley's safe way
home, not your nutty idea.
>> Ashley: There's somebody at
the door. Excuse me.
>> Belle: Killing Tucker is just
sheer madness.
>> Alan: Ashley?
>> Ashley: Hold on.
>> Belle: This is how
we save Ashley. She needs to
fall in love again.
Why can't you see that?
>> Alan: Um, are you
still there?
Ashley?
>> Ashley: Yeah.
Hi.
Where were we?
>> Alan: I'm not sure.
>> Ashley: I think you were just
saying that you had a couple of
hours to kill before
your flight.
And you wanted to see me,
didn't you?
>> Alan: Yes.
>> Ashley: Okay. Great.
Well, I would love to see you.
I mean, if the invitation is
still open.
>> Alan: Um, well, great.
Okay, should I come to you or--
>> Ashley: No, I'll-- I'll go to
your hotel, okay?
>> Alan: I look forward to it.
>> Ashley: Yeah, me too.
I'll see you soon.
[ southern accent ] Oh, yeah.
Woo!
Feels so good to be free.
Oh, y'all are gonna be so
grateful you let me out.
Here I come.
>> Abby: Why are you asking me
about my mother?
>> Tucker: Concern.
Just hoping she's found
her footing.
>> Abby: Well, if you're
referring to the incident that
happened between the two of you
in Paris,
Where no one can figure out
what actually happened,
that's ancient history.
>> Tucker: Have you seen her
lately?
>> Abby: I talk to my mom all
the time, Tucker.
>> Tucker: In person?
>> Abby: Wait,
how does this concern you?
Wow, it really is an amazing
sense of entitlement how you
just put yourself in areas that
don't concern you at all.
>> Devon: What are you
getting at?
Why are you even asking?
>> Tucker: I think you might
wanna check in on her
a little more regularly.
Take care.
>> Abby: So he's-- he's talking
to me about family? Why?
Because he's so good at it?
>> Devon: I don't know.
Everything's a game
with that guy.
He's always trying to make
people think he's
a changed man.
>> Abby: Well, he's still
talking about my mother, which
means he hasn't changed at all.
>> Audra: You know, I would be
so flattered if you were
secretly pining away for me,
Nate.
>> Nate: Oh, really?
Are we going to ignore the fact
that I said this was
hypothetical?
>> Audra: So you're not into me?
Not even a little bit?
>> Nate: Uh-huh.
Fishing for compliments.
>> Audra: I'm just on the hunt
for the truth?
>> Nate: If I were,
which I'm not,
I wouldn't be so subtle
about it.
You'd know.
>> Audra: Whatever.
I'm just giving you
a hard time.
>> Nate: And I'm trying to
figure out what it would take
to pull you away from that man.
As your friend.
>> Audra: Hm.
I know you're my friend, Nate.
And I am grateful and touched
that you're so protective
of me.
But if it does make you feel
any better, I did turn down
Tucker's marriage proposal.
>> Nate: I figured as much.
But it's good to hear.
>> Audra: Well, not because
I don't want to be with him,
but because marriage to me
is an archaic institution.
>> Nate: Is that like
a campaign slogan of yours?
>> Audra: Uh, I mean it.
Okay, I-- I don't need some
contract to be with the person
I love.
>> Nate: I'm not saying you do.
But most folks get around to it
sooner or later.
Who knows?
You might change your mind.
>> Audra: Well, thankfully,
I'm not most folks.
[ cell phone pings ]
>> Nate: Uh, I really want
to finish this conversation.
>> Audra: Yeah, but when
the topic of marriage comes up,
look who's running.
Now you know how I feel.
And that won't change.
>> Nate: I bet it might
if the groom weren't named
Tucker McCall.
>> Audra: What if he was named
Nate Hastings?
>> Nate: Look, Audra.
You need to take
those blinders off.
You know you can't commit to
a man like that.
A man you can't trust.
Tucker will break your heart,
Audra.
The fact that he had to
recreate Paris and substitute
you for Ashley should tell you
everything you need to know.
I know you deserve better.
I hope you know it too.
>> Audra: Nice seeing you,
friend.
>> Ashley: Hi.
>> Alan: Oh, hello.
>> Ashley: I am so happy
to see you.
>> Alan: Well, I was beginning
to wonder after our last visit.
>> Ashley: I have to apologize
for my very unpleasant behavior.
It's living with this family.
You know, they're just picking
at me and prodding me.
It's like living under
a microscope, you know?
>> Alan: Yeah, that must be--
that must be difficult.
>> Ashley: Yeah, I have no words
for it.
But here I am treating you
like you're their guard dog
instead of my dear friend.
I hope you can forgive me.
>> Alan: Of course,
I forgive you.
>> Ashley: Okay, 'cause
the last thing I want is for you
to think that I'm pushing
you away.
>> Alan: Well, not too long ago
you did tell me to pack my bags
and head off to Vienna.
>> Ashley: Don't listen to me.
Don't listen to me at all.
No, that was just me in the
heat of the moment dealing with
horrible siblings that don't
believe anything I say.
I mean, I'm not mad at you.
Honestly, I feel like
you're the only person in
my life I can actually trust.
>> Alan: I'm very glad
to hear that.
And I want you to know that
I am here to listen to whatever
you have on your mind.
>> Ashley: Yeah?
>> Alan: Sing away.
>> Lily: Perfect.
Thank you.
Uh, Mamie, I am sorry.
I have to pass on your
meeting today.
I am way, way behind schedule.
>> Mamie: Lily, no.
You can't miss it.
You must be here.
>> Lily: Okay, then what
is this about?
Why is it so important?
>> Mamie: When everyone
has arrived--
>> Lily: Yes, yes,
all will be revealed.
I know, I know.
Okay, well then, please,
no surprises like last time,
right?
>> Mamie: No, no surprises.
>> Lily: Okay, because it
doesn't exactly build trust.
>> Mamie: You have my word.
>> Lily: Okay.
>> Abby: Mamie, hi!
>> Mamie: Oh.
>> Devon: Hello.
>> Mamie: Abby.
>> Abby: So good to see you.
>> Devon: Hey, Aunt Mamie.
How you doing?
>> Mamie: And how is
my brilliant great-nephew?
>> Devon: Dominic's doing
fantastic.
>> Mamie: Oh.
>> Nate: Aunt Mamie.
>> Mamie: Nate, my goodness,
you seem to get more handsome
every time I see you.
So, well now, we are all here.
>> Lily: Uh, Billy's not here.
>> Mamie: Yeah, well,
he won't be coming.
>> Lily: Well, he's a member
of the board.
So if this meeting's important,
then he should be here.
>> Mamie: This meeting is for
family only, and I'm including
Abby in that.
>> Abby: Well, thank you
very much.
That means a lot.
But I don't think now is the
time to separate camps.
Billy is my family, too.
>> Mamie: Okay, good point.
But in every family,
big decisions have to be made
for the greater good.
And especially now,
because this family business is
really dysfunctional.
I've stayed in the background.
I've given you enough time
to settle back in.
>> Lily: Okay, well now that
I am settled back in,
what are you thinking?
>> Mamie: Why don't we all
sit down, hmm?
I believe that it's time for us
to reassess.
>> Devon: Reassess what,
exactly?
>> Mamie: There's been
a splintering
inside of this family.
And I believe that it is Billy
and Jill that have been causing
you to turn on each other.
And that is just not
acceptable.
That's why I'm here.
I'm going to fix this.
>> Ashley: I might have to find
just a little--
>> Alan: Yes, please,
have whatever you like there.
>> Tucker: Ashley?
>> Ashley: Oh, hi.
>> Tucker: Hi.
Hi, Tucker McCall.
>> Alan: Alan Laurent.
>> Tucker: Alan,
nice to meet you.
>> Alan: Nice to meet you.
>> Tucker: So, uh, you two
know each other how?
>> Ashley: I don't think that's
any of your business.
>> Alan: No, it's-- it's okay.
We met in Paris years ago and
we've been friends ever since.
>> Tucker: Oh, you know, come to
think of it, I do recall
Ashley mentioning you before.
What is it you do again?
>> Alan: Oh, just some academic
work, guest lecturing,
that sort of thing.
>> Tucker: Oh,
well, I suppose if you've been
friends for years, you know
who I am.
>> Alan: Yes, we have, uh,
discussed your relationship.
>> Tucker: Oh.
>> Ashley: Actually, Alan is
being very modest.
He's a brilliant psychologist.
An even more brilliant friend.
Actually, Alan is the one that
made me realize I was wrong
about that fight we had in the
café, remember?
>> Tucker: Thank you.
>> Alan: Happy to help.
>> Tucker: And you're here
now to...
>> Alan: I am just here
as a friend.
>> Tucker: Well, I think, uh...
I think your timing
couldn't be better.
>> Nate: Aunt Mamie,
we all appreciate your emotional
and financial investment in this
company, but
I think you're overreacting.
>> Mamie: Not from what I've
been seeing and hearing.
Do you know what it took for me
to get all of you together
in this room?
>> Lily: Well, we have
disagreements, like any other
company, but we work them out.
>> Mamie: Like you denying
a seat for Nate on the board
of Chancellor-Winters.
>> Lily: Because it's too soon.
>> Mamie: So, you're still
punishing him.
>> Lily: I'm not punishing him.
We've talked about it,
we've moved on, and I think
you should, too.
>> Mamie: Is that right, Nate?
Have you moved on?
>> Nate: Look, I'm not gonna
deny that I was upset at first.
Yes, I was hurt, angry.
I can admit that.
But I thought about it
and I talked it over with Lily,
and I saw her point.
>> Mamie: Well, then, I think
that you deserve a medal for
turning the other cheek, honey.
>> Nate: Aunt Mamie, what I did
was unconscionable, okay?
You weren't here.
You didn't see it
or experience it.
I betrayed this company.
And worse than that,
I betrayed my own family.
And quite frankly, the only
reason I'm sitting here is
because of Lily and Devon's
forgiveness and generosity.
And of course, I owe a lot
of that to you.
And I hate saying this, but if
there's any tension going on
around here, I think it's
coming from you.
>> Mamie: Me?
>> Nate: You hate Jill, and by
extension, you distrust Billy.
>> Mamie: Nah, wait a minute.
I do not hate anyone.
I do have some trust issues
with the two of them,
which is why I want them
out of this company.
So that we can return
Chancellor-Winters to
the family business it was
intended to be.
>> Devon: Yeah, but Jill brought
Chancellor in with the merger.
So, this was never meant to just
be about our family.
You know that.
>> Mamie: I don't think it's
wasted on any of us that you are
the only Chancellor sitting
in this room, Devon.
>> Nate: Okay, now you're
cherry-picking details,
Aunt Mamie.
Creating a war
to get what you want.
>> Mamie: No, you're just
exaggerating.
>> Nate: Oh, no,
I don't think so.
This whole rally the family
against Billy and Jill meeting
tells me I'm not.
>> Mamie: And is that what you
think too, Lily?
>> Lily: Yeah, I think things
are starting to get out of hand.
And, you know, listen, I agree.
I think that Billy has
an agenda.
>> Mamie: Finally, someone who
gets it.
>> Lily: But I think Devon
does too.
>> Abby: Wait a second,
that's not fair.
>> Lily: Well, no, what I'm
trying to say is that
it's not the point.
We can resolve these things.
But I don't think that's what
you want, Mamie.
I think that doesn't fit
your agenda, right?
And I think that Nate's right.
I think that you want a war.
And you don't care if it brings
this whole place crashing down
on us.
>> Ashley: Tucker, aren't you
a busy man?
Don't you have things that you
should do?
Go run along and do them,
maybe?
>> Tucker: I'm not that busy
at the moment.
And I'm always happy to meet
new people.
Especially a brilliant
psychologist.
And lecturer, you said?
>> Alan: On occasion.
>> Ashley: I know what you're
thinking and Alan has assured me
that he's not here to crack open
my skull and take a peek inside.
>> Tucker: I wasn't thinking
that at all.
>> Audra: Ugh.
>> Ashley: Thank goodness
she's here.
>> Audra: There you are.
>> Ashley: Oh, what great
timing.
Your boyfriend just barged in
here and made himself
right at home.
Can't you keep a closer eye on
him so he doesn't wander off
without you, please?
>> Tucker: Uh, Audra, this is
Dr. Alan Laurent,
um, Ashley's dear friend.
Brilliant psychologist,
from what Ashley said.
>> Alan: I mean, she flatters
me and it's nice to meet you.
>> Audra: You too.
It sounds like Ashley's
in very good hands.
We shouldn't intrude.
>> Tucker: No.
>> Audra: Oh, and, um,
thank you for your
helpful advice.
>> Ashley: Sure.
>> Audra: Have a nice day.
>> Ashley: Bye. See you soon.
>> Tucker: All right.
Nice to meet you, Alan.
>> Alan: Nice to meet you.
>> Ashley: So,
where were we before we got
so rudely interrupted?
>> Mamie: Oh, now, so suddenly
I'm the problem.
>> Lily: Well, it's not
suddenly.
I mean, the truth is, Jill
probably wouldn't have brought
Billy on board if you hadn't
created so much dissension.
And now you're undermining
everything that I have worked
so hard to build up.
>> Mamie: And that's exactly
my point.
What you built up, Lily.
Not Jill, who is off somewhere
all the time.
The devil only knows where.
Riding on your coattails while
you and Devon and now Nate are
doing all the heavy lifting.
>> Lily: Jill does a lot
for Chancellor-Winters, and even
if she didn't, half the company
is hers.
>> Mamie: Devon,
now you know I'm right,
don't you?
We're all gonna be
the better for it if we can just
figure out how to get Jill
and Billy out for good.
You know you want Billy gone.
Has Jill ever executed
the vision that you and Neil
originated for this company?
I think we already know
the answer to that one.
>> Devon: Yeah, sure, we do have
some issues with Billy and Jill.
But the reality is, we didn't
have any of them before you
showed up in town.
And you keep trying to find
these problems when I think,
and I say this with all due
respect, I think that
the problem might just be you.
>> Mamie: Huh.
>> Audra: So,
what did you think about
Ashley's shrink friend?
The fabulous Dr. Freud.
>> Tucker: Hm.
I don't know, he didn't really
make an impression on me
in one way or the other.
>> Audra: Well, he certainly
seemed to be making
an impression on her.
>> Tucker: He's an old friend,
apparently.
>> Audra: A friend that makes
her smile like that?
And you never picked up on it
in all the time
she's known him.
[ Tucker laughs ]
>> Tucker: It never came up.
>> Audra: Wouldn't it be
wonderful if Ashley had a mad,
passionate affair with him
and went to live
on an island somewhere?
>> Tucker: It hardly seemed
like a romantic interlude.
>> Audra: But a girl can dream,
can't she?
Look, I know in my head,
Ashley's in a very bad place,
but that doesn't mean I'm not
tired of running into her.
And not to mention, I never
know which of her many moods
I'll be dealing with.
>> Tucker: Doesn't that tell you
how sick she is?
>> Audra: I don't know, Tucker,
but if she's that unwell,
why isn't someone doing
something about it?
And I don't mean lunch
with a shrink.
>> Tucker: I totally agree.
I saw Abby, she doesn't even
seem aware that anything is
wrong with her mother.
>> Audra: Or maybe because it's
no one's business but Ashley's.
You know, she could be getting
treatment at this very moment,
but we just don't know about it
because it's private.
>> Tucker: She certainly doesn't
seem like someone on the path
to recovery.
>> Audra: Well, she did seem
to me less outwardly hostile.
I would even call her chipper.
>> Tucker: Ashley doesn't
do chipper.
>> Audra: I think she does now.
Are you pretending you didn't
pick up the vibe down there?
>> Tucker: Audra, my focus was
on the doctor and whether or not
he's helping her.
>> Audra: You know, meanwhile,
she looked like she was about
ready to devour the poor guy.
You know, if Ashley gets her
way, there will be more than
therapy between those two.
>> Mamie: I never thought
I would see the day where my own
family would treat me like this.
I'm heartbroken.
>> Devon: We don't want you
to feel that way, all right?
This has nothing to do with
our feelings about you, Mamie.
>> Nate: Of course, Aunt Mamie,
we love you.
>> Lily: Yes, we all do.
That will never change.
>> Mamie: I'm only here to build
things up, not to tear
them down.
>> Nate: You literally said
it was time to blow things up.
>> Mamie: I never said that.
>> Devon: Okay, regardless of
what you said, there's just a
little too much at stake for us
to let you take a swing at Billy
and Jill the way you want.
All right?
'Cause we know for a fact that
Chance and Billy were only
brought in 'cause Jill felt
threatened by you.
>> Mamie: Jill felt threatened
by Tucker.
>> Nate: Who you were in cahoots
with when you first
came to town.
>> Lily: Do you see how it all
keeps coming back to you, Mamie?
>> Mamie: No.
What I see are three overly
entitled, under-experienced,
wannabe adults who are willing
to take a pay-off
because they are just too afraid
to take a leap of faith with me,
their longest living relative
and staunchest defender.
You are all looking for someone
else to blame for your own
insecurities.
Well, that is not me.
And I'm appalled
by your cowardice.
You know, I may be the only
person in this room who knows
what family really means.
And right now, in case
you didn't notice, I am pretty
disgusted with mine.
>> Tucker: Sorry, Audra.
I did not see any vibe between
Alan and Ashley.
>> Audra: Come on.
It was there for anyone to see.
It's called body language,
Tucker.
She wasn't holding back.
Now, she'll really mend
if she hasn't already.
>> Tucker: I certainly hope not.
>> Audra: And why is that,
Tucker?
I know you don't want to be
with her anymore, okay?
But that doesn't mean that you
wanna see her with someone else.
Look, I know you still care
about her, and that's fine.
I'm not threatened by Ashley.
>> Tucker: Right.
You never had any reason to be.
[ Audra sighs ]
>> Audra: Well, let's just say
I'm not.
Anymore.
>> Tucker: Good.
>> Audra: Don't be mad.
>> Tucker: I'm not mad.
Not at you, anyway.
At myself, yes.
I keep telling you
I'm moving on, I'm letting
it go, blah, blah, blah,
and then you walk in the room
and I'm sitting there with her.
But it's not what I want, and I
know it's not what you want.
>> Audra: Yeah, I would be
thrilled to never hear or
mention her name ever again.
>> Tucker: I know.
I'm sorry.
But what you said is right.
It's because I still do care
about her, and she seems alone
in this. Her family,
they're obviously in denial,
and I just-- I wanted
to make sure this Alan guy was
there for her.
>> Audra: So, what do you
wanna do now?
>> Tucker: I wanna think
about you.
I have a surprise for you.
>> Audra: Oh.
>> Alan: You seemed amused
by your encounter with Tucker
and his companion.
>> Ashley: Oh, I suppose so.
Audra's so pretty,
and she's so smart.
She's way too smart to be with
somebody as horrible as Tucker,
but she'll figure it out.
>> Alan: It was all quite
fraught. A lot of strong
emotions under the surface.
>> Ashley: Right, probably.
>> Alan: Subtextual comments
on your mental health.
>> Ashley: Why should they be
any different than anyone else
in my life, right?
>> Alan: How's that make
you feel?
>> Ashley: Well, thanks
for being so concerned.
I'm fine.
>> Alan: An ex moving on with
someone else can be quite
traumatic if the relationship
hasn't been resolved.
>> Ashley: Oh,
it's been resolved.
Put away in a drawer,
never to be opened again.
>> Alan: No lingering conflicts?
>> Ashley: Lingering conflicts
and subtextual comments?
Should I pull up a couch?
>> Alan: I'm sorry. It--
it's an occupational hazard.
>> Ashley: That's okay.
Trust me.
Tucker is where he belongs
with whom he belongs.
So am I.
>> Ashley: So, have I changed
your mind about leaving
Genoa City prematurely?
I hope that my apology's
done the trick.
>> Alan: Now, you want me
to stay?
>> Ashley: Oh.
Haven't I been clear as a bell?
Of course, I want you to stay,
as long as you possibly can.
We have so much to catch up on.
>> Alan: Yes.
>> Ashley: Ooh,
so you're staying?
>> Alan: Shouldn't be a problem
to have a colleague cover for me
at the conference in Vienna.
>> Ashley: Yay.
>> Alan: So, yes.
I would like to spend
more time with you.
>> Audra: So, what's
my surprise?
>> Tucker: Well, I have spoken
to all the heads of the
companies we have acquired
in Europe.
>> Audra: Uh-huh.
>> Tucker: And everything's
back on track.
So you and I are going to Paris.
>> Audra: Oh.
That's great.
>> Tucker: That's, uh, not quite
the reaction I expected.
I thought you'd be, uh,
happy about it.
>> Audra: No, I am.
It's just, um...
can it be more than just Paris?
>> Tucker: Just Paris?
>> Audra: You know what I mean.
Um, Monte Carlo or Portofino.
Can we go to other places
in Europe, too?
>> Tucker: My love,
our itinerary can be wherever
and whatever your heart desires.
I'm doing this for you.
For us.
>> Audra: And just like that,
we'll go wherever I want?
>> Tucker: Wherever you want.
I don't know if you've been
listening to me this whole time,
but my intention is
to fulfill every desire you have
from this minute forward
until forever.
Well, now.
Happy?
>> Audra: Hm, yeah.
I am very happy.
You know, this trip will be so
good for us, Tucker.
One thing, though.
>> Tucker: Yes?
>> Audra: I don't want any
pressure about
this marriage proposal, okay?
>> Tucker: Done.
>> Audra: I mean it.
>> Tucker: I do, too.
>> Audra: Mm.
>> Tucker: Although...
>> Audra: Oh, God.
Here it comes.
>> Tucker: No, I just--
I-- I should be allowed the hope
that, uh, Europe will
have its own kind of seduction.
You know, the magic,
the romance.
>> Audra: Mm-hmm.
That ring
will never be on my finger,
okay? But I am open to whatever
seduction and magic
you can manage.
Come on.
>> Tucker: I don't know.
I can manage quite a bit.
>> Abby: Okay, look, why don't
we all just take a step back
and just calm down?
>> Mamie: No, no,
thank you, Abby.
It's a little bit too late
to move these waters.
You've all made it perfectly
clear that I am not
welcome here.
>> Devon: That's not true
at all.
>> Mamie: Oh, so we haven't
spent the last half hour with me
listening to how I am
the destructive force here?
By my own family, no less.
Who I've loved and supported
my entire life.
>> Lily: Look, Mamie,
just because we don't want
office chaos doesn't mean
that we don't want you.
Okay, we've never let the
corporate world get between us,
so please, don't do that now.
>> Mamie: And even you, Nate.
You know you wouldn't even be
in this room if I hadn't
intervened on your behalf.
You know, because that's what
families do.
They stand by each other.
>> Devon: That's what we're
trying to do right now.
We're trying to stand by each
other and look out for each
other by drawing a line between
professional and
personal issues.
>> Mamie: This is betrayal,
and I'm never gonna forget it.
I am angry
and hurt beyond words.
However, I have a big stake in
this company, and I have no
intention of letting go of that.
So, whether you like it or not,
you'll be seeing more of me.
>> Nate: I think we just made
another enemy.
