Tucker begs for a place in his grandson’s life; Abby acquiesces… Abby fills Devon in on Chance’s request for a divorce… Diane and Jack arrive at Society. Diane unloads on Phyllis, then tells Kyle about Jeremy’s intimidating visit. Kyle, in turn, tells Summer that Phyllis sicced Jeremy upon Diane. Afterward, he sets off for Jeremy’s hotel suite.
Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) and Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) make love. Rather than bask in the afterglow, the two agree that the dynamic between them has changed and that they’ve just spent their last night together. Adam takes his leave of Sally and walks smack dab into Nicholas. Nicholas lets himself into Sally’s room and immediately deduces what transpired between her and his brother.

Ashley Abbott (Eileen Davidson) takes exception to Diane’s presence in the family manse… Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) tries to seduce Noah Newman (Rory Gibson), but he pulls back from the romantic clinch rather than lean in. Audra ends her night in Tucker’s room and in his arms.
Jack takes Phyllis to task for her interference and threatens her livelihood… Lily bristles over Billy’s efforts to connect and takes great exception to his questioning her intentions where her interaction with Chelsea was concerned… Adam warns Billy away from Chelsea, but Billy is hardly cowed.
