The Abbott Mansion
Tucker is about to kiss Ashley, but stops and says he can’t do it.
Ashley asks why not. Tucker says that she has the upper hand; they’re not equals.
Ashley says that it’s because she’s calling the shots, and wonders if he’s intimidated by her.
Tucker says that he’s more than happy to implement the changes she’s asked for, but he doesn’t think it’s good to get into a relationship based on manipulation.
Ashley looks a little disappointed and tells Tucker that she spoke with Victor and Victoria, and they accused her of buying his debt.
She says she didn’t reveal that she did, but Victor thinks she bought it, and Victoria thinks it was someone else.
She says that the Newmans are willing to pay top dollar for his company, more than it’s worth, and says that it would put him on top of the world with that type of money, all he has to do is pick up the phone and tell Victor he’s in.
Tucker asks if he’s passing the test, that he won’t sell to Victor, even though he’s walking away from a fortune.
He says that he’s only interested in a fresh start with the only two people that matter to him, Ashley and Devon, and getting rid of the company will help him achieve that goal.
Ashley asks what happens if he can’t get Devon to buy McCall.
Tucker says that it won’t matter, he needs to sell the company no matter what.

Devon is upset and says that Lily’s taking things too far by making it personal with his ex.
Lily says that if Devon wanted a war, this is it.
Devon asks why Lily thinks he’s the only bad guy in this situation.
Lily says that he signed a contract, and he agreed to merge the companies.
Devon says that he just wants the company that their father started.
Lily says he’s not the only one who can continue his legacy. She says that their father transcends it.
She says that if he goes down this path, he’s going to regret it.
Devon says that he’s glad that Neil isn’t there to see what she’s turned into.

Elena says she doesn’t think it’s appropriate to talk about that.
Audra says that Nate may only be in charge of one division, but it’s clear that Victoria has larger plans for him.
Elena asks what Audra thinks Victoria wants for Nate.
Audra says she was just kicked out of a meeting between the two.
Elena asks if that happens often.
Audra says that Victoria must really see something special with him, as they spend a lot of one-on-one time together.
Tucker comes to the coffee shop and sees Audra and Elena talking. He stays in the doorway while they talk.
After Elena leaves, Tucker comes over to Audra’s table and tells her that he wishes he could harness her superpowers for good.
Audra says that she needs to know… Who’s he selling his company to?
Tucker says that he may be convinced to give her a bit of info if she can tell him how Devon and Lily are doing, he wants to know how bad the fight is.
