Nate lets Devon know that he didn’t expect to get a seat on the board. Devon’s fine with paying it forward – he’d like to start now by making Ana co-head of LP (which thrills her) I won’t let you down, she promises with a hug. Feeling like an outsider, Cane exits quietly.
Back at the house, Jack and Ashley waste no time sparring about their companies. In the spirit of fair play, Ashley shows him a link that was emailed to her; Jolie Chic Vision – it’s a company out of China. The logo looks just like Jabot Collective. Jack squints at the laptop.
Believing that Phyllis is brilliant and knowing her so well, Lauren wishes she could get out of her own way. Thinking everyone else is wrong and you’re right will be your downfall – again.
So much for the private conversation, Phyllis frowns when Mike arrives. She then has a meeting to get to – her project is about to pay off. Do I want to know? Mike asks – and thinks it for the best that Phyllis didn’t share any details with Lauren. After the reading of Neil’s well, Mike’s grateful for Lauren – let’s go out and celebrate life. Lauren has to meet Jack for some ‘work drinks’ – after that, I’m all yours. Mike’s left looking disappointed.
Jack accuses Ashley of sabotaging his new line. Insulted, Ashley wouldn’t steal Jabot Collective’s stupid logo – she’s launching her own line in three days. Jack thinks he better get his out in two then. And no, he’s not bothered by this company in China – it’ll be settled with a lawsuit. He promises to keep Ashley updated on Mother. With a hug, they exchange ‘I love you’s’. Closing the door behind Ashley, Jack texts Billy and Kyle – meet me at Jabot – URGENT.
At Society, Cane removes and pockets his wedding ring then pulls out his phone to call Traci. If you’re free, I’d really like to see you.
Home alone, Devon puts on a jazz LP and sinks into the sofa to look over at a framed photo of him and Neil. Elena comes in – hey. Hey. No, Devon doesn’t want some time to himself. Would you mind dancing with me? Both hold one another closely as they sway in circles.
