Half of the women in this town 195 00:12:26,545 --> 00:12:29,115 have a past with Tucker. I hope you don't hold it against 196 00:12:29,181 --> 00:12:30,950 me. >> Kyle: You know very well I 197 00:12:31,016 --> 00:12:35,554 can forgive for past mistakes, but Phyllis seems to think this 198 00:12:35,621 --> 00:12:39,725 is a very present connection between you and Tucker. 199 00:12:39,792 --> 00:12:44,029 Please tell me that's not true. 200 00:12:44,096 --> 00:12:46,565 >> Tucker: I realize I can't just pop in here and expect you 201 00:12:46,632 --> 00:12:50,202 to take me back all of a sudden after all this time. 202 00:12:50,269 --> 00:12:52,638 >> Ashley: It's good that you know that. 203 00:12:52,705 --> 00:12:57,143 It's not gonna happen. I moved on with my life, Tucker, 204 00:12:57,209 --> 00:13:01,413 and I never looked back. >> Tucker: I'm sorry to hear 205 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,016 that. >> Ashley: I am curious about 206 00:13:04,083 --> 00:13:08,721 something, though. Um, I find it very interesting 207 00:13:08,787 --> 00:13:11,390 that you show up here just a few months after Diane did. 208 00:13:11,457 --> 00:13:13,559 It's almost like you followed her back to Genoa City, isn't 209 00:13:13,626 --> 00:13:16,996 it? >> Tucker: That's not the case. 210 00:13:17,062 --> 00:13:20,599 No, I was, uh -- I was as surprised as I'm sure you all 211 00:13:20,666 --> 00:13:25,137 were that she was still alive. And trust me -- I have zero 212 00:13:25,204 --> 00:13:27,873 interest in revisiting anything with that woman. 213 00:13:27,940 --> 00:13:31,577 That was over long before you and I even broke up. 214 00:13:31,644 --> 00:13:36,849 I swear. You believe that? 215 00:13:36,916 --> 00:13:40,085 >> Ashley: No, I don't. But I don't need to belabor it, 216 00:13:40,152 --> 00:13:42,354 either. If you're not gonna tell me the 217 00:13:42,421 --> 00:13:44,590 real reason why you're in Genoa City, then we have nothing 218 00:13:44,657 --> 00:13:46,659 else to discuss. You said what you need to say, 219 00:13:46,725 --> 00:13:51,830 I responded, and you can go. 220 00:13:51,897 --> 00:13:59,038 >> Audra: Thank you. 221 00:13:59,104 --> 00:14:02,508 >> Nikki: Excuse me.

I'm sure you will be crossing 371 00:23:53,064 --> 00:23:55,700 paths with business leaders whose names you will 372 00:23:55,767 --> 00:23:59,671 recognize -- the Newmans, the Abbotts. 373 00:23:59,738 --> 00:24:02,374 You already know the team at Chancellor-Winters. 374 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,377 Even Tucker McCall has returned. Do you know him? 375 00:24:05,443 --> 00:24:08,880 >> Abby: Mom! 376 00:24:08,947 --> 00:24:10,448 >> Ashley: Honey! >> Abby: Hi! 377 00:24:10,515 --> 00:24:11,850 >> Ashley: Hi! >> Abby: Mwah! 378 00:24:11,917 --> 00:24:13,852 Welcome back. I missed you. >> Ashley: I missed you. 379 00:24:13,919 --> 00:24:16,087 >> Abby: How was Paris? >> Ashley: Oh, same as usual. 380 00:24:16,154 --> 00:24:17,956 Perfect. Although I was too busy to 381 00:24:18,023 --> 00:24:20,091 really enjoy it this time. >> Abby: Oh, that's too bad. 382 00:24:20,158 --> 00:24:22,394 >> Ashley: And I'm so sorry I had those flight issues so I 383 00:24:22,460 --> 00:24:25,197 couldn't come to Kyle and Summer's vow renewal ceremony. 384 00:24:25,263 --> 00:24:27,632 >> Abby: Well, I'm sure you heard that there was an 385 00:24:27,699 --> 00:24:29,835 unexpected guest. >> Ashley: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. 386 00:24:29,901 --> 00:24:31,703 Mm-hmm. In fact, I met with Tucker 387 00:24:31,770 --> 00:24:34,306 earlier. >> Abby: Why would you bother? 388 00:24:34,372 --> 00:24:37,709 I hate the idea of the two of you face-to-face. 389 00:24:37,776 --> 00:24:40,745 I saw him here having dinner with Devon, and I made it very 390 00:24:40,812 --> 00:24:42,447 clear that he is not welcome here. 391 00:24:42,514 --> 00:24:44,783 But of course, that didn't matter because Tucker is a 392 00:24:44,850 --> 00:24:48,153 disgusting human being who thrives off greed and 393 00:24:48,220 --> 00:24:49,955 exploitation. >> Ashley: Okay, well, that does 394 00:24:50,021 --> 00:24:52,090 sound a little like Tucker. >> Abby: I can't believe that he 395 00:24:52,157 --> 00:24:55,594 has some fantasy of making amends with you or that you gave 396 00:24:55,660 --> 00:24:57,429 him the time of day. >> Ashley: Just relax, okay? 397 00:24:57,495 --> 00:24:59,631 There's nothing to worry about. I was over him when he left 398 00:24:59,698 --> 00:25:00,866 town. >> Abby: Good. 399 00:25:00,932 --> 00:25:02,934 >> Ashley: And I think even less of him now than I ever did, 400 00:25:03,001 --> 00:25:05,036 okay? >> Abby: That's good to hear. 401 00:25:05,103 --> 00:25:07,906 >> Ashley: And I also don't believe for a second that he's 402 00:25:07,973 --> 00:25:10,408 back here because of some deep, abiding love that he has for me. 403 00:25:10,475 --> 00:25:13,745 >> Abby: [ Sighs ] Neither do I. Tucker has an agenda, and 404 00:25:13,812 --> 00:25:17,649 whatever it is, I want him as far away from my mother and my 405 00:25:17,716 --> 00:25:22,087 family as possible. 406 00:25:22,153 --> 00:25:25,023 >> Diane: Thanks again, Kyle. It's one of the favorite parts 407 00:25:25,090 --> 00:25:28,493 about my job -- getting to have quick, impromptu lunches with my 408 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,829 son, and just seeing you around the office brightens my day. 409 00:25:30,896 --> 00:25:33,131 >> Kyle: Well, mine, too. >> Diane: You know, I-I-I hope 410 00:25:33,198 --> 00:25:36,935 you, um, understand why I got a bit defensive when you 411 00:25:37,002 --> 00:25:39,704 questioned me about Tucker. It's just a reflex when his name 412 00:25:39,771 --> 00:25:42,340 comes up at this point. >> Kyle: I get it. 413 00:25:42,407 --> 00:25:43,942 Now, I've got to track down Summer. 414 00:25:44,009 --> 00:25:45,911 We've got some important business to discuss. 415 00:25:45,977 --> 00:25:47,445 >> Diane: Oh. Well, do you need me? 416 00:25:47,512 --> 00:25:49,047 Is it about the upcoming press conference? 417 00:25:49,114 --> 00:25:52,150 >> Kyle: No, thanks. This is "CEO to creative 418 00:25:52,217 --> 00:25:54,586 director" stuff. I'll see you later. 419 00:25:54,653 --> 00:26:01,593 >> Nikki: Hello, ladies. 420 00:26:01,660 --> 00:26:03,128 >> Abby: Hi. >> Phyllis: We received your 421 00:26:03,194 --> 00:26:06,531 texts to meet here. >> Abby: The three of you 422 00:26:06,598 --> 00:26:09,935 meeting voluntarily? I don't even want to know what 423 00:26:10,001 --> 00:26:11,603 you're sharing if it's not insults. 424 00:26:11,670 --> 00:26:13,872 >> Phyllis: Good. Nothing to see here. 425 00:26:13,939 --> 00:26:17,175 >> Abby: Great. Then I will leave you to 426 00:26:17,242 --> 00:26:18,977 whatever this is. >> Ashley: Bye, honey. Love you. 427 00:26:19,044 --> 00:26:23,081 >> Abby: I love you. >> Nikki: Bye. 428 00:26:23,148 --> 00:26:26,818 >> Ashley: So, here we are again, ladies, the magnificent 429 00:26:26,885 --> 00:26:30,622 triumvirate dedicated to getting Diane out of this town. 430 00:26:30,689 --> 00:26:33,091 How's that going? Because I have somebody else I 431 00:26:33,158 --> 00:26:35,894 want to add to that list -- Tucker McCall. 432 00:26:35,961 --> 00:26:38,330 Another undesirable that needs to leave Genoa City. 433 00:26:38,396 --> 00:26:40,298 >> Phyllis: Funny you should mention that. 434 00:26:40,365 --> 00:26:42,867 >> Nikki: Because we're convinced that Diane and Tucker 435 00:26:42,934 --> 00:26:44,936 are a package deal. 436 00:26:54,079 --> 00:26:56,381 >> Summer: So, why did you bring me here? 437 00:26:56,448 --> 00:26:59,150 It seems like kind of an odd place to have a work meeting. 438 00:26:59,217 --> 00:27:01,619 >> Kyle: Well, I wanted to get you out of the office to avoid 439 00:27:01,686 --> 00:27:05,323 running into any of our parents or any other work interruptions. 440 00:27:05,390 --> 00:27:07,425 >> Summer: Huh. My calendar says "breakout 441 00:27:07,492 --> 00:27:09,894 summit." Is this one of those corporate 442 00:27:09,961 --> 00:27:12,764 leadership strategy exercises that you've been wanting to try? 443 00:27:12,831 --> 00:27:15,967 >> Kyle: In a way. I've finalized our plans for our 444 00:27:16,034 --> 00:27:18,837 breakout escape. >> Summer: Oh, so, that's what 445 00:27:18,903 --> 00:27:20,805 this is about. >> Kyle: I've been working on 446 00:27:20,872 --> 00:27:23,808 the perfect honeymoon to celebrate my marriage to the 447 00:27:23,875 --> 00:27:29,347 most beautiful woman on earth. Picture a secluded Costa Rican 448 00:27:29,414 --> 00:27:35,854 beach, a private chef who makes herself scarce after every meal, 449 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,424 piña coladas and oceanside spa treatments. 450 00:27:39,491 --> 00:27:42,160 >> Summer: Ooh. I can't believe that you planned 451 00:27:42,227 --> 00:27:44,329 this all on your own. And you even found a time that 452 00:27:44,396 --> 00:27:45,697 we could both get away from work? 453 00:27:45,764 --> 00:27:47,699 You really are the perfect husband. 454 00:27:47,766 --> 00:27:49,567 >> Kyle: Mm. I guess I'm inspired by my 455 00:27:49,634 --> 00:27:56,307 perfect wife. >> Summer: We can't get on that 456 00:27:56,374 --> 00:27:58,977 plane soon enough. >> Kyle: Ahh. 457 00:27:59,044 --> 00:28:04,416 I -- I do have one request. It's just an idea. 458 00:28:04,482 --> 00:28:11,089 You can say no if you disagree. But I was wondering if maybe for 459 00:28:11,156 --> 00:28:14,125 the last few days we had -- >> Summer: The nanny bring 460 00:28:14,192 --> 00:28:18,096 Harrison down for a couple of days of fun-filled family beach 461 00:28:18,163 --> 00:28:22,600 vacation? Oh, God. 462 00:28:22,667 --> 00:28:24,369 That wasn't what you were going to say? 463 00:28:24,436 --> 00:28:30,842 >> Victor: I don't think you 464 00:28:30,909 --> 00:28:35,914 have anything to worry about. Have a seat. 465 00:28:35,980 --> 00:28:40,452 Victoria's going to play this very discreetly. 466 00:28:40,518 --> 00:28:42,420 But there's something else that worries me. 467 00:28:42,487 --> 00:28:47,025 >> Michael: What could that possibly be? 468 00:28:47,092 --> 00:28:51,062 >> Victor: Tucker McCall, I have a feeling, is here because he 469 00:28:51,129 --> 00:28:57,368 wants to play a hand in the Chancellor-Winters deal. 470 00:28:57,435 --> 00:29:00,238 >> Michael: That seems unlikely. From what I hear, he's divested 471 00:29:00,305 --> 00:29:05,276 himself of all of his holdings except McCall Unlimited. 472 00:29:05,343 --> 00:29:08,279 You know, he's switched gears from world domination to 473 00:29:08,346 --> 00:29:10,148 downsizing his companies. >> Victor: That doesn't mean a 474 00:29:10,215 --> 00:29:12,951 damn thing. Think about it for a moment. 475 00:29:13,017 --> 00:29:19,657 He's Katherine Chancellor's son. He's Devon's father, Dominic's 476 00:29:19,724 --> 00:29:22,627 grandfather. I think his motives are more 477 00:29:22,694 --> 00:29:26,631 personal. And the man is not known to play 478 00:29:26,698 --> 00:29:29,300 by the rules. >> Michael: Careful. 479 00:29:29,367 --> 00:29:30,735 Many people would say that about you. 480 00:29:30,802 --> 00:29:33,138 >> Victor: I don't give a damn what they say about me. 481 00:29:33,204 --> 00:29:37,475 But I will not let anyone, certainly not Tucker McCall, 482 00:29:37,542 --> 00:29:42,480 to interfere with plans that Victoria has for our business. 483 00:29:42,547 --> 00:29:45,884 >> Ashley: So, it's no coincidence that Diane was seen 484 00:29:45,950 --> 00:29:48,653 riding around in a Bentley that's the same make and model 485 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,221 as the one owned by Private Image. 486 00:29:50,288 --> 00:29:52,724 >> Nikki: Absolutely not, and we have Victor's team to thank for 487 00:29:52,790 --> 00:29:54,459 finding out the ownership of that car. 488 00:29:54,526 --> 00:29:57,862 >> Ashley: Right. Private Image owns a nonprofit 489 00:29:57,929 --> 00:29:59,898 arm called Wild Beauty that's based in London. 490 00:29:59,964 --> 00:30:01,199 >> Phyllis: Yes. >> Ashley: Okay. 491 00:30:01,266 --> 00:30:03,535 >> Phyllis: And your father called you "my beauty." 492 00:30:03,601 --> 00:30:06,271 >> Ashley: Mm-hmm. >> Phyllis: And Tucker called 493 00:30:06,337 --> 00:30:09,340 you "Beauty," right? >> Ashley: Yeah. 494 00:30:09,407 --> 00:30:12,177 >> Phyllis: There. There. That connects Tucker to 495 00:30:12,243 --> 00:30:15,780 Wild Beauty, thereby connecting him to Diane. 496 00:30:15,847 --> 00:30:19,083 >> Ashley: Right. It's kind of a reach, though, 497 00:30:19,150 --> 00:30:21,386 don't you think? I mean, the only proof you have 498 00:30:21,452 --> 00:30:24,689 is that the name of the organization somewhat resonates? 499 00:30:24,756 --> 00:30:26,624 I don't know. >> Phyllis: Excuse me, Ashley, 500 00:30:26,691 --> 00:30:28,293 but my instincts have never ceased to point me in the right 501 00:30:28,359 --> 00:30:29,394 direction. >> Ashley: Okay, I'm just 502 00:30:29,460 --> 00:30:30,628 trying to get to the bottom of this. 503 00:30:30,695 --> 00:30:34,232 >> Nikki: Alright, anyway -- anyway, Victor's team is trying 504 00:30:34,299 --> 00:30:37,468 to find more proof. In the meantime, I just had a 505 00:30:37,535 --> 00:30:40,738 very interesting conversation with Audra Charles. 506 00:30:40,805 --> 00:30:44,008 >> Ashley: Who's that? >> Nikki: Audra is my grandson 507 00:30:44,075 --> 00:30:47,612 Noah's ex who used to work for Wild Beauty. 508 00:30:47,679 --> 00:30:52,650 And I asked her if she ever came across a Tucker McCall. 509 00:30:52,717 --> 00:30:56,087 >> Phyllis: And? >> Nikki: Well, she admitted 510 00:30:56,154 --> 00:30:59,891 that she knew of him but didn't know him. 511 00:30:59,958 --> 00:31:03,094 >> Phyllis: I mean, I don't believe that. 512 00:31:03,161 --> 00:31:07,031 I don't believe that she worked for a company that we believe 513 00:31:07,098 --> 00:31:10,001 Tucker had a financial stake in and she never met him. 514 00:31:10,068 --> 00:31:12,470 >> Ashley: What if -- I mean, there's a possibility, right, 515 00:31:12,537 --> 00:31:16,174 that Tucker has no connection to Wild Beauty or Private Image. 516 00:31:16,241 --> 00:31:20,845 >> Nikki: Well, Ashley, I know I just told you about this Audra 517 00:31:20,912 --> 00:31:25,216 person, but Tucker came to town practically on her heels. 518 00:31:25,283 --> 00:31:28,753 We are so close to tying this thing together. 519 00:31:28,820 --> 00:31:31,823 We just have to find that missing piece of the puzzle. 520 00:31:38,963 --> 00:31:40,164 >> Summer: Oh, my God, I am so 521 00:31:40,231 --> 00:31:41,799 sorry. I didn't mean to step on your 522 00:31:41,866 --> 00:31:44,302 wonderful honeymoon plans. It's just that I've been looking 523 00:31:44,369 --> 00:31:46,304 at the pictures from the vow renewal ceremony. 524 00:31:46,371 --> 00:31:49,574 And then I was talking to Jack, and I was thinking how much love 525 00:31:49,641 --> 00:31:52,343 we have in our little family. And -- I don't know -- for some 526 00:31:52,410 --> 00:31:54,846 reason, I was thinking that you were having the same idea, but 527 00:31:54,912 --> 00:31:56,714 I -- >> Kyle: [ Laughing ] I was. 528 00:31:56,781 --> 00:32:00,451 I had the exact same idea. I just can't believe you came up 529 00:32:00,518 --> 00:32:04,088 with the same one, too. >> Summer: That is a huge 530 00:32:04,155 --> 00:32:07,425 relief, and I'm thrilled. But, baby, you shouldn't be 531 00:32:07,492 --> 00:32:09,894 shocked. We love each other, and we love 532 00:32:09,961 --> 00:32:12,030 our son. And who doesn't love a family 533 00:32:12,096 --> 00:32:13,665 beach vacation? >> Kyle: You're right. 534 00:32:13,731 --> 00:32:16,768 We're completely in sync. Just proof we were meant to be. 535 00:32:16,834 --> 00:32:18,970 And everything we went through in the past, the breaking up, 536 00:32:19,037 --> 00:32:21,272 getting back together again, breaking up again -- 537 00:32:21,339 --> 00:32:23,141 >> Summer: Getting back together again. 538 00:32:23,207 --> 00:32:25,510 >> Kyle: It's just proof that once we finally made it 539 00:32:25,576 --> 00:32:28,446 permanent, we were destined to last forever. 540 00:32:28,513 --> 00:32:32,450 >> Summer: Mm. >> Ashley: So, whatever happened 541 00:32:32,517 --> 00:32:34,919 with Talia Morgan's articles? I thought it was supposed to be 542 00:32:34,986 --> 00:32:37,422 some big exposé that shed light on what Diane was up to in 543 00:32:37,488 --> 00:32:39,424 Los Angeles.
