[ fire crackling ]
>> Victoria: Oh, my God.
>> Firefighter: Sorry, miss,
but you have to move on.
You can't
be this close to the blaze.
>> Victoria: No, no, no, no.
That's my home.
>> Nikki: It was Jordan.
We should have known she'd
go this far and yet...
>> Claire: Why haven't
we heard anything?
>> Nikki: They'll call soon.
>> Claire: Fire is
Jordan's weapon of choice.
She told me so herself.
A good fire is often the perfect
solution for a bad situation.
And the prison fire
was successful.
Why would she stop there?
>> Nikki: She's pure evil.
>> Claire: The second
she heard that Victoria and
I were supposedly in that house,
it goes up in flames.
She couldn't wait to
light that match.
My aunt, the woman who raised
me, who-- who my whole life,
she told me that she
was my salvation.
That it was us against
the world?
She couldn't wait to
burn that place to
the ground with me in it.

[ knock on door ]
>> Tucker: Hey, Abby.
Something wrong?
>> Abby: You actually
sound concerned.
>> Tucker: Uh, well,
if there's a problem, then--
>> Abby: What game are you
playing with my mom now?
>> Jack: Hey, thought
I heard you down here.
What's got you up so late?
>> Ashley: I'm not sure.
>> Jack: Something
bothering you?
>> Ashley: I was so exhausted.
I mean, I didn't even change
outta my clothes.
Uh, then I had
the most bizarre dream.
It-- it woke me up.
>> Jack: And what
was the dream about?
>> Ashley: I was with you and
Traci at the Athletic Club
and we were arguing and you were
yelling and you were so loud,
but I couldn't understand
what you were saying to me.
And then all of a sudden, Tucker
was next to me by my side.
>> Jack: Even in dreams,
he's a nuisance.
>> Ashley: Yeah, he was, uh,
he was trying to tell me
what you were saying.
You know, he was like
explaining your words
and translating to me. I--
I don't know.
>> Jack: Well, I hope you put
Dream Tucker in his place.
>> Ashley: No, I didn't because
I mean, everything he was saying
was making sense to me.
>> Jack: Okay, I don't
like the sound of that.
The logical interpretation of
that dream is that for some
reason, Tucker, of all people,
would understand the situation,
any situation better than you.
>> Ashley: That's
the whole thing, Jack.
In this dream, I wasn't myself.
It was like somebody
I didn't even know.
>> Tucker: I'm sorry, Abby.
I-- I really have no idea what
you're talking about.
>> Abby: We both know
that's a lie.
>> Tucker: It's been
pretty clear now for
a while that things are
over between your mother and me.
>> Abby: Clear to whom?
I mean, it's clear to me that
you're messing with her head.
And that's disgusting.
My mom has honestly loved you.
Not just once, but twice.
She defended you.
My mom saw something in you
that, let's be honest,
no one else has ever seen.
And what, instead of realizing
how lucky you were to have her,
you kept pushing her over and
over and over again until
she lost part of herself.
What, was that to make you feel
more important, more powerful?
And when she finally realized
there was nothing to see in you,
and she got the courage to
leave, you started playing these
games to what, punish her?
Because you realized
you didn't deserve her?
>> Tucker: Um...
would you like to sit down?
>> Abby: No, I don't.
>> Tucker: So, what exactly
has Ashley told you?
>> Abby: No, don't do this.
You're not gonna put this
off on me or on her.
I want you to come clean
for once in your life.
What did you do?
>> Tucker: Abby...
If you don't tell me
what it is that I allegedly did,
I can't answer that question.
>> Abby: Just stop playing
this innocent, clueless guy!
You have never been
either of those things.
>> Tucker: Okay.
I'll tell you what I know.
Your mother has been acting
a little...
strange since she returned
from her latest trip to Paris.
And at first, I thought maybe
she was the one playing games,
uh, or devising some revenge
scheme to get back at me.
>> Abby: Oh, that she's
the vengeful one now, right?
Is that you projecting, Tucker?
Do you feel guilty?
Did you do something that my mom
would wanna punish you for?
>> Tucker: She has admitted
that my version of what
happened between us in
Paris is the correct one.
But who knows?
There's a possibility that, um,
she's just pretending
to be contrite to set
me up for something.
>> Abby: Set you up for what?
>> Tucker: I don't know.
And to be honest, Abby,
I'm starting not to care.
I've moved on.
>> Firefighter: We're doing what
we can to subdue the fire.
But the house went up fast.
>> Victoria: No. No. Nothing?
I mean, you can't do anything?
My whole life is in that house.
Everything that my kids know and
love is in that house.
>> Firefighter: All we can
do now is keep it from
spreading into the woods.
>> Victoria: No! Dad!
>> Victor: Sweetheart.
[ Victoria sobbing ]
>> Firefighter: It's not
safe for you to be here.
I have to ask you to leave.
>> Victor: We understand.
Thank you.
>> Victoria: No,
this can't be happening.
[ sobbing, sniffling ]
>> Nikki: Thank God you
and Victoria were here.
And Johnny and Katie
are at boarding school.
She would've let you both
burn with no remorse.
It'll never be enough for her
until we're all--
[ phone ringing ]
Victor, what's happening?
>> Victor: The house is
burning down.
>> Nikki: No. Oh, no. No. God...
>> Victor: Nothing could
be saved, okay?
So Victoria and I
are on the way home.
>> Nikki: How is she?
>> Victor: Devastated.
[ Victoria sobbing, sniffling ]
>> Nikki: It is too much.
First, Seth, and now this.
I can't handle it.
[ Nikki sobbing ]
>> Claire: Nikki,
tell me how to help you.
>> Nikki: Talk to me about
anything other than your aunt.
Just start and don't stop.
>> Claire: Yeah. Yes.
Um, I'm thinking, um--
>> Nikki: Tell me
something funny.
Tell me something outrageous
or-- or-- or ridiculous.
Just-- just something to
distract me, please.
>> Claire: Um, at the hospital,
there's this little girl,
Nadia, and-- and she--
did you ever see her?
She would come to my room
for story time.
>> Nikki: Uh, uh, Nadia, yeah.
Go ahead.
>> Claire: Well, she's so
smart and she loved the book
that Victoria brought me
about Greek mythology.
Athena is her favorite--
favorite goddess.
And-- and she's mine too.
But you--
you probably know all this.
>> Nikki: It doesn't matter.
Keep going.
>> Claire: Okay.
Um, Athena is Zeus's
favorite daughter.
And one day, Nadia told me that
she wanted to change her name to
Athena so that she could be
strong and brave and
everyone's favorite.
>> Nikki: Smart girl.
>> Claire: Yeah.
And when she said that, I, uh,
I cried a little bit,
not in a sad way, but in a way
that felt like she had
explained something in
my heart that I didn't--
I didn't know was there.
I realized that my whole life,
I-- I just wanted to be
someone's favorite.
>> Nikki: Oh, Claire.
Obviously,
you touched her heart too.
And that is an incredible gift
to be able to speak to a child
in a way that they feel heard
and then they wanna listen.
You know, when you're completely
recovered and starting to
think about what you wanna do in
the world, you might wanna
consider something that would
allow you to work with children.
>> Claire: Well...
I'd never thought of that.
Growing up,
I didn't have any plans.
My future didn't belong to me.
But yeah, I need a career or
a hobby, a-- a way to fill my
day with something that matters.
And I-- I would love to
work with children.
Seeing something so sweet
and innocent in their eyes.
>> Nikki: They still see
the magic in the world.
>> Claire: Yeah.
And I wanna see the magic too.
I don't wanna be so jaded
and-- and-- and disappointed
in the world all the time.
Maybe working with kids could
give me that and then
I could give something back too.
>> Nikki: You definitely could,
Claire.
>> Claire: Oh,
but I don't have any training
and I have a record.
Who's gonna let me near
their child knowing that?
>> Nikki: Now, don't
sell yourself short.
You have plenty to offer
any employer.
You're a fast learner.
You can juggle a lot of things
at once, and your attention
to detail is amazing.
And you have the best
references you could.
Your family who will vouch for
you and tell anybody who asks
how very special you are.
>> Claire: Thank you, Nikki.
That means a lot.
[ Claire sniffling ]
>> Nikki: Don't worry.
We'll find a way
to make that happen.
>> Claire: Nothing can
happen until my aunt is
locked away again forever.
Then, my new life
can really begin.
>> Abby: Please God, tell me
that this suitcase means you're
leaving Genoa City for good.
>> Tucker: No, I'm just going to
Paris for a few days.
Part business, part pleasure.
>> Abby: Well, it would be
a pleasure for me and
everyone else in this town
if you just made that
business trip permanent.
Because let me tell you,
Tucker, we are so over you.
All of your lies and the deceit.
And this constant manipulation
with my mother, I don't think
you realize the effect
that it has on your son,
on your grandson.
So please, just pack that bag
and be gone for good.
>> Tucker: Abby, I have
stayed away from Devon
completely at his request.
>> Abby: No, it's not enough.
It's not enough because you
being in town is this
constant reminder of
what a disappointment of
a father that you are.
So please, if you have any sort
of ounce of decency somewhere in
you, go to London, go to Paris,
go anywhere but here.
>> Tucker: I'm curious, uh,
what has prompted this
outrage all of a sudden tonight?
Has Ashley accused me
of something else?
Has she done something else?
Something happened?
>> Abby: Oh, something
happened, all right.
She tried to convince
Devon to forgive you.
>> Jack: It was a dream.
Your subconscious churning up
anxiety and fear, not reality.
>> Ashley: What it means is that
Tucker's in my head.
>> Jack: Look, the last time
we talked about Tucker,
you seemed awfully confident
that you were past him,
that that connection was over.
I know it's difficult to just
wipe someone from your mind,
but-- And I know it's
especially difficult when
he is present and you're dealing
with him all the time.
If that man would just
leave town for good,
we'd be better off.
>> Ashley: It doesn't
even matter, Jack.
>> Jack: It would be better
than this.
>> Ashley: It's not
gonna happen.
In spite of everybody
that's turned against him,
he's not leaving town.
>> Jack: Then we have to find
a way to get him out of your
system, to break the connection.
Look, as much as I hate to
say this, are you sure you
want him out of your life?
>> Ashley: Don't get angry
with me, okay?
I'm not sure.
I know.
I mean, there's times when
I feel like I'm sure and
that I've moved on and then this
weird shift comes over me
and I don't know, I just see
Tucker in a different way.
>> Jack: Okay. Different how?
>> Ashley: Like maybe
I should forgive him.
Like maybe I shouldn't
walk away.
I could try again and
give it another chance.
>> Jack: I hate the hold
this man still has on you.
It's pure manipulation,
ego on his part.
Just like him demanding that you
cut your family off completely.
He doesn't deserve
a second chance.
Or your forgiveness,
for that matter.
What-- what can I do? How
can I help you break the cycle?
>> Ashley: You spend
a lot of time looking
out for me, don't you?
>> Jack: No.
>> Ashley: I told you before,
but I just-- I feel like I need
to deal with this one on my own.
>> Jack: Going it alone hasn't
exactly done the trick.
[ Ashley laughs ]
>> Ashley: You're not
wrong about that.
Gosh. You know, I just,
I don't-- I don't know what's
going on with me, Jack.
I really don't.
One minute, I feel like I have
completely detached from all
this chaos and I know in
my heart that Tucker's the worst
thing in the world for me.
>> Jack: I'm not surprised
by that.
You've been under a lot
of stress lately.
You haven't been able to
regain your footing since Paris.
But you will.
And until then,
don't be so hard on yourself.
Let Traci and I
be there for you.
You're gonna get past this.
>> Ashley: I love that
you believe that.
>> Jack: I do believe that.
And you need to believe
that too. Tucker be damned.
>> Ashley: Yeah.
>> Jack: Didn't Traci say you
have a psychologist friend in
Paris who you call sometimes
to get good advice from?
>> Ashley: Yeah, I was
thinking about that.
>> Jack: Well,
it's morning in Paris right now.
You could give him a call.
>> Ashley: That's a good idea.
And you don't have to
stay here with me.
Go back to bed.
>> Jack: Don't worry about me.
You can't get rid of me
that easily.
I have another plan.
>> Tucker: Ashley went
to Devon on my behalf?
>> Abby: She started by telling
us that she had misinterpreted
the fight that you had in
Paris and that she didn't
wanna do more damage
to your father-son relationship.
>> Tucker: Really?
She said those exact words?
>> Abby: Well, like she
could do more damage than
you've done yourself.
>> Tucker: And how did
Devon react to that?
>> Abby: I don't know.
Devon cares about her.
But you, you are the one that
ruined that relationship.
So, he is not just gonna
forgive you overnight.
>> Tucker: Sorry,
I still don't understand
what you're doing here.
All worked up
if nothing has changed.
>> Abby: Because if my mom
is trying to get Devon
to forgive you, then
she must be considering
forgiving you herself.
And please, if you were being
honest before, if you weren't
lying and you really have
moved on, then just stay
away from all of us.
From Devon,
from Dominic, and my mother.
>> Tucker: And you, uh,
you represent all of them?
You speak for all of them?
This is your call?
A second ago you said
that I shouldn't count
on Devon forgiving me overnight,
which means that you think
there's a possibility he might
forgive me in the future.
Is that why you're here?
>> Abby: Maybe Devon
will forgive you.
I don't know.
I mean, I-- I have encouraged
him in the past to forgive
you because I thought
Devon deserves a father.
Our son deserves a grandfather.
But all you do is hurt people.
And if whatever's going on with
my mom, if it's sincere,
if this softening is
a real thing, please don't
take advantage of it.
'Cause I promise you,
there will be hell to pay.
And if my mom is planning
some sort of revenge play,
I support her 100%.
I hope she crushes you like
a bug.
And if you try to pull some
sleazy move on my family, mark
my words, you will regret it.
>> Ashley: Is this
the right thing?
I'm scared. What? Dammit!
What's she done now?
Ah, get out of my head.
Can't let this happen.
Not again.
>> Claire: I shouldn't
have mentioned my aunt.
I'm sorry. That's not what
you need right now.
>> Nikki: No.
And it's all right.
The moment passed and Jordan
will be dealt with soon enough
and we can all put our
lives back together again.
>> Claire: I only ever saw
photos of my mom's house.
Now, she's lost everything.
>> Nikki: No,
she hasn't lost everything.
She still has her most precious,
irreplaceable treasures.
You and all of her family.
And she can buy new things
and we can all recover from what
Jordan has put us through
because we have each other.
That's how we Newmans are.
We protect each other
no matter what.
>> Claire: Family.
>> Nikki: Yes, your family.
And soon, this will all be
behind you and you can put
your skills to use again.
>> Claire: You're really good
at that.
Making me feel like I have
something to offer the world.
But I think it's gonna be
a while before I have
any kind of career.
>> Nikki: Well, I disagree.
You've already made
great progress.
>> Claire: The doctors
helping me through this
have been amazing.
But even more than that,
I feel...
stronger because
of the support of my new family.
It has been hard to believe how
kind and forgiving and generous
you have all been with me.
The fact that you could find
a way to welcome me into
your home and into your
family after everything.
>> Nikki: Well, your aunt
made that quite a challenge.
But you are my granddaughter
and that's what matters
the most.
>> Claire: Can I get you
some more tea?
>> Nikki: Yes, please.
And Claire,
thanks for chatting with me.
It was just what I needed.
>> Nikki: Oh, baby.
I'm so sorry.
Oh, but thank God
nobody was in the house.
>> Victoria: I know, I know.
But Mom, it's was my home,
my kid's home.
Our pictures, our keepsakes,
everything is just gone.
>> Nikki: Things. Just things.
I-- I know it hurts now,
but thank God everybody is safe.
>> Claire: Mom.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
>> Victor: Well, we all know
who's responsible.
That's one more terrible crime.
>> Nikki: That woman
is despicable.
I wanna tear her limb from limb!
After everything she has done
to me and my family,
she deserves to rot in hell!
>> Claire: I know
my aunt Jordan.
she's feeling alone
and-- and desperate.
That's why this happened.
>> Victor: Why do you say that?
>> Claire: She usually
takes her time.
She plans her moves
very carefully.
She's far more calculated
than this.
This is her lashing out wildly.
At this point,
she's got nothing left to lose.
>> Nikki: That's not good.
>> Claire: It does mean
that she could be more dangerous
than before.
But it also means
she could be getting sloppy.
>> Jack: Look what I found.
The perfect late-night snack.
Heard you talking earlier.
Did you call your
friend in Paris?
>> Ashley: Yeah,
I got his voicemail.
I left him my message.
I'm sure I will hear back
from him soon.
Very good suggestion. Thank you.
>> Jack: Well, sure.
If it gives you a little peace,
I'm happy.
>> Ashley: You don't have
to wait up with me though.
>> Jack: Don't worry about me.
You and I can sit
and eat pie and talk,
or we can just eat pie.
>> Ashley: Actually,
I think I'm gonna go
for a walk and clear my head.
>> Jack: A wa-- outsi--
It's freezing out there.
>> Ashley: It's brisk
and the air is fresh.
And it's exactly what I need
to clear my head.
Okay, but don't you eat my pie.
All right?
I will be back for it.
>> Jack: Okay. You sure?
>> Ashley: I'm fine.
I'll see you later.
>> Jack: Be careful.
>> Ashley: Mm-hmm.
>> Diane: Hey, honey.
What are you doing up?
>> Jack: Oh, I heard Ashley
pacing then I heard her
come downstairs.
She's in knots again
about Tucker.
And no matter what I say,
I can't seem to help her.
>> Diane: Jack, I-- I think
it's time to give your sister
some space.
She's battling her demons,
but that is something
she has to do on her own.
>> Devon: Hey, pretty lady.
>> Abby: Hey.
>> Devon: What's going on?
I can tell by your text
something's up.
>> Abby: I just had
it out with Tucker.
>> Devon: What? What happened?
>> Abby: I needed him
to know that my mom's
new attitude towards him was not
gonna open any doors.
And he couldn't just say that
he would stay away from her.
>> Devon: Hey, why would you
even waste your time
talking to him?
He's too self-centered to give
a damn about anybody else.
He is always gonna do
what he wants to do.
You know that.
>> Abby: No, I know that.
But I couldn't just sit back
and do nothing.
The man is
so utterly frustrating.
Ooh, and it just felt
so good to let him have it.
I wanted to make sure
that he really heard me.
>> Devon: What did you say
to him?
>> Abby: Well, I didn't
just defend my mom.
I told them that
if he hurt anyone in my family,
that he was gonna have to deal
with me.
And he was packing
for some business trip.
I told him he better make it
permanent because no one
wants him here.
He needs to stay away
from my family forever.
>> Devon: Wow.
Well, I appreciate you looking
out for all of us like that,
but you know, you don't have
to protect me from Tucker.
>> Abby: Devon, I know I don't.
But he needs to know
that his intrusion in our family
is not gonna be tolerated.
And, of course,
I'm sure he twisted
something that I said and--
and took it as encouragement.
>> Devon: Why would he take it
as encouragement?
>> Abby: Because I told him
that my mom-- my mom talked
to you about possibly
forgiving him.
He got this spark in his eye.
It was almost like
he thought maybe he could
reconcile with you and my mom.
I told him that Paris was just
one small thing in a long line
of unforgivable things.
And that my mom's request,
it's not gonna do anything.
But he just seems so hopeful.
Like he thought you might
give him another chance.
>> Devon: Yeah. I'm sure
he was hopeful
because I usually do give him
a second chance.
>> Abby: Please be
finished with that.
Don't ever make
that mistake again.
>> Devon: Yeah.
I'm definitely done doing
the same things over
and over again and hoping
for a different outcome.
I've been down that road way
too many times with Tucker,
and I have no interest
in getting burned again.
>> Abby: Well, thank you
for saying that.
It calms me down a little bit.
>> Devon: He lies too much
and I don't want that energy
around our family either.
But it's my turn
to tell you that you need
to stay clear of him.
>> Abby: I want nothing more
than to be done
with Tucker McCall.
But my mom has this weird
connection with him
and that connection is part
of what keeps him tied
to our family.
>> Devon: I know.
What do you think is really
going on with your mom?
>> Abby: I don't know what's
going on with my mom these days.
I don't like it.
Just when I thought we were over
and done with Tucker McCall,
why is my mom suddenly
drawing him back in?
>> Jack: Intellectually,
I understand why Ashley might
feel she has to work
this out on her own.
But do you remember the last
time she fell in love
with him before the wedding?
Denying she had any involvement
with him and then suddenly
totally embracing it.
And nothing I could say
could talk reason into her.
>> Diane: Of course,
I remember.
But a lot of that had
to do with her wanting
to get rid of me.
>> Jack: And despite all
the declarations and warnings
that this marriage was only
going to end badly,
she married him anyway.
That marriage was
an unmitigated disaster.
And here we go again.
>> Diane: Well, you don't know
that for sure.
>> Jack: I-- I hate that
we're even talking about
this despicable man.
How can he possibly
still have that kind of a hold
on my sister?
>> Diane: Jack, I know that
you're concerned about her,
but you have got
to stop worrying.
I mean, you have done everything
you could to help her.
I mean, I even tried
for what it's worth.
But now you just-- you just have
to let it go and-- and let her
make her own decisions.
>> Jack: Yeah,
you're probably right.
It'd be a whole lot easier
if she would actually
make a decision.
I don't know what's going on
with her right now.
One moment, she's confused
and torn, and the next,
she's absolutely fine
and full control of herself.
What are we supposed to do
with that?
>> Diane: Well, I suspect
your sister is just working
through some things.
Give it time.
When she holds a grudge,
she holds it tight.
And I think that very soon,
Tucker will start to feel
the power of that grip.
[ Tucker sighs ]
>> Tucker: Please--
>> Ashley: It's the truth.
>> Tucker: Please stop.
You can just--
>> Ashley: What?
>> Tucker: Could you please
cut this crap out?
>> Ashley: What crap?
>> Tucker: The animosity
you have shown me lately,
it doesn't just vanish.
You're doing one of two things.
You're either brainwashing
yourself, like I said, or you're
setting me up for something.
Either way,
this conversation is over.
Get the hell outta my room.
>> Ashley: Hopefully I'll be
able to convince you someday.
>> Tucker: Convince me of what?
And what the hell
difference does it make?
What is it you're after, please?
>> Ashley: I think you know.
>> Tucker: [ laughs ] I have
no idea.
I'm telling you, I have no idea
what this new bizarre game
you're playing is.
>> Ashley: I'm not playing
a game.
[ Tucker sighs ]
>> Tucker: Oh, Ashley.
Ashley. Ashley.
What is going on with you now?
>> Nikki: Now is the time for us
to turn the heat up on
that monster. Flush her out
and turn her sick game
to our advantage.
We should go to the media
and let them know about
her heinous attack
on our family and not hold back.
>> Victoria: We can't publicly
accuse her of being
an arsonist without any proof.
>> Victor: You're right,
sweetheart. If we went
to the press now,
that would only entice her
into more violent actions
against our family.
I mean, I knew this woman
would react, but I had no idea
to this degree.
>> Nikki: She is pure evil!
>> Victor: You know, I'm gonna
convince her to meet with me.
>> Nikki: What if you do?
I mean, she's so desperate.
She'll try anything.
>> Victor: She's not gonna get
the upper hand with me.
>> Diane: You've been
an incredibly supportive
big brother, but now
it's time to let Ashley work
this out on her own.
>> Jack: I hear your point.
You're probably right.
>> Diane: But you don't
wanna listen.
>> Jack: I never wanna listen.
[ Diane laughs ]
But this time I will.
>> Diane: Good. I'll take it.
>> Jack: I've noticed, you know.
>> Diane: Hmm.
>> Jack: How supportive
you've been, how far
you and Ashley have come.
>> Diane: Well, let's not
make too much of it.
>> Jack: No, not too much.
Just enough.
After everything you've been
through, after everything
she puts you through,
you've somehow managed
to rise above and take
your place in this family.
>> Diane: Because of you.
I adore you and you deserve
a peaceful household.
So, I will happily do my part.
>> Jack: I just hope
this mess with Tucker doesn't
throw a wrench in our peace.
>> Diane: Yeah, we can hope.
You know, you've already
spread yourself so thin lately.
I-- Jack, I-- I love how much
you look after the people
that you care about.
It's the last thing I would ever
wanna change about you.
But I would also love
for things to get a bit better
for everyone.
[ phone rings ]
>> Jack: Nikki. Hey, Nikki.
Are you okay?
>> Nikki: I'm sorry
for calling so late, Jack.
I'm having a rough time.
>> Jack: Uh, where are you?
>> Nikki: I'm at home.
>> Jack: Okay, I'll--
I'll be there in half an hour.
All right?
[ Diane sighs ]
>> Diane: Nikki needs you.
>> Jack: Yeah.
>> Diane: And before
you tell me not to,
yes, I'll be waiting up.
So don't argue.
>> Jack: I love you.
>> Devon: Hey.
>> Abby: Mom, hi.
>> Ashley: Hi.
>> Abby: What are you
doing here so late?
>> Ashley: I was at the lab.
I got so involved
in everything, I didn't realize
it was so late and I'm starving.
So, I came by to get
a quick bite.
You wanna join me?
>> Abby: No, actually we have
to get home to Dominic.
>> Devon: Yeah.
Rain check though?
>> Ashley: Sure.
>> Abby: Hey, why don't you
follow us home?
Yeah. We can pick something up
and then if we're lucky,
Dominic will be awake
and he can join us.
>> Ashley: Yeah. No, thank you.
I'm just gonna eat right here.
Thanks.
>> Abby: Are you really here
for the food?
>> Ashley: Why would you
ask me that?
>> Abby: Well, there's lots
of places to eat, but here,
there's Tucker and food.
>> Ashley: Honestly,
I am not here for Tucker.
Okay. Don't worry about me
so much. I'm fine.
>> Abby: Are you sure?
>> Ashley: I'm positive.
>> Abby: Okay. Well,
um, don't stay out too late.
>> Devon: Have a good night.
>> Ashley: Thank you.
>> Abby: Good night. Bye.
