CBS

Tucker invites Devon to sit with him and offers to buy him a drink.

Tucker and Devon talk.
CBS

Devon says that sounds reasonable.

Tucker says vengeance can be exhausting. It sounds like Devon doesn’t believe him.

Heather says she’s glad… She wants Lucy to be closer to her dad.

CBS

The Abbott Mansion

Jack tells Diane they never danced during their reception. They probably should.

Diane says the band has gone home.

Jack and Diane.
CBS

Jack says they don’t need a band. He pulls out his phone, puts on some music, and asks Diane for a dance.

Diane takes his hand, and they dance slowly.

Jack says they did it… They declared their love for each other before family and friends, and nobody can doubt them anymore. Even Nikki was supportive of them!

Diane smiles as she dances with Jack.
CBS

Diane laughs and says she couldn’t have imagined that.

Jack says he’s proud of them… They’ve shown the world what love and commitment can do. What more could they want?

Diane says she can think of something. She wants the night to last forever.

Jack and Diane dance.

Kyle and Audra burst into the room, kissing and making out.

They fall onto the bed, kissing passionately.

The Abbott Mansion

Billy tells Traci they could be squandering an opportunity by not opening the gift. It could be an insight into what Tucker’s thinking.

Billy opens the gift box as Traci watches.
CBS

Traci says it could be something hateful and despicable, or it could be a blender… They should throw it away.

Billy picks up the box to throw it away, but he can’t escape temptation. He puts the box down and says he’ll get rid of it after they see what’s inside.

Billy opens the card and reads it. “May this symbol of harmony, balance, and patience bring those elements to your new life as husband and wife.”

Devon says Tucker looked at Mamie like he knew her.

Devon talks to Tucker.
CBS

Tucker says Devon must have misread it… There’s no connection between them.

Devon says Mamie invested in Chancellor-Winters out of the blue. She didn’t tell Devon or Lily beforehand, and he doesn’t buy her explanation.

Tucker says that’s very interesting, but what does that have to do with him?

Tucker laughs.
CBS

Devon says he doesn’t know; he’s trying to connect the dots. He figures Tucker is claiming he’s not interested in Jabot anymore and must have something to do with Mamie’s connection to Chancellor-Winters. It can’t be a coincidence.

Tucker says it’s a series of unconnected events.

Devon doesn’t buy it. He says he knows something is going on between Tucker and Mamie, and Tucker should tell him what it is.

Devon talks to Tucker.
CBS

Audra’s GCAC Suite

Audra and Kyle kiss in bed after sex. She says she really missed these times with Kyle.

Audra says nothing changed, but she decided Kyle was worth the risk.

Kyle talks to Audra.
CBS

Kyle says Nikki will find out eventually.

Audra says she’s no longer concerned if Nikki fires her over having a private life.

Audra and Kyle.
CBS

Audra says she missed Kyle and never said she had a backup plan. She has some possibilities but doesn’t want to tell him and jinx things. She’d rather talk about him!

Jack reminds her that Audra showed up.

Jack talks with Diane.
CBS

Jack says once again Billy has ignored what he asked him to do.

Billy Abbott.
CBS

Billy says he was curious. He asks what Jack thinks.

Jack says he doesn’t give a damn.

Traci Abbott.
CBS

Diane asks Jack if he’s so much more involved than the rest of them.

Jack says they’re missing the point. He wanted it thrown away because he didn’t want Tucker intruding on the happiest day of his life. He rants that they’re talking about Tucker because of it, and he wants it over and done with.

Diane says she’d like to think that Tucker’s finished being at war with the Abbotts and wants peace.

Kyle smiles and says he’d have to help things along.

Kyle smiles.
