I don't think Tracy believes everything happened * that night * but rather that they didn’t end up in bed (although I think they did 🤣) and that everything was quickly forgotten and forgiven after that night.
I think what she means is that a real reconciliation takes time.
Yeah, I think she regards them ending up in bed and a full reconciliation as one and the same. Can't blame her for that, considering if they were to have ended up in bed, that is all people would have really focused on.
Tracy has been very consistent in (1) leaving things ambiguous and (2) always making sure to bring the conversation back to how much Hailey was hurt, which is fair given the amount of work she put in to seasons 10 and 11. It almost feels like her agreeing that they end up together would cause the conversation to brush over all that, so she doesn't. I could be way wrong in my interpretation, but that's just the vibe I get from her answers.
Anyway. It could also be a case of her caught off guard by a question and doing her best to give a satisfactory answer, because I don't think she was expecting that.
Either way, a hopefully ambiguous ending means everyone gets to finish the story how they please. If they got drinks and said goodnight in your version, cool! If they ended up in bed, also cool! I don't have a solid theory I adhere to, beyond the general belief that they find their way back together.
