Ashley knows Tucker deeply – it makes him lash out. Maime thinks she should run for the hills – but agrees that family must always come first ~hug~
Billy rants to Jack – about Kyle. Of course you and Diane want your son at the family company – but it’s not fair to him, me or Jabot – Kyle’s not ready.
Test me, Kyle challenges Tucker. He and Audra leave when Devon arrives. Tucker claims that he was just asking Kyle where Ashley’s head’s at. Devon will ask one more time – what’s your connection to Maime? Don’t lie.
Devon just wants to be able to trust Tucker – but can’t because he lied about his connection to Aunt Maime. You always show me exactly who you are. I’m your father and I love you. You’re a liar and user, Devon accuses – just leave Maime out of it; her intentions are sincere. Downstairs, he runs into Maime and warns her not to trust Tucker.
In the dining room, Audra admires the way Kyle didn’t back down from Tucker. She doesn’t like the word ‘betrayal’; you’re in or you’re out.
In Tucker’s suite, Maime announces that she no longer needs his help with CW. After a revealing discussion with Ashley, she’s learned things she can’t tolerate. She trusted him because he’s Kay’s son. No, you trusted me to get rid of Jill, Tucker wonders how she’ll do that without him.
Audra’s happy to hear that Kyle’s all ‘in’ – but what if Jack gave you Billy’s job? He’d take it. Our alliance would be gone. She hopes Jack continues to let Kyle down. And now it’s time to go upstairs ~kiss~
Still on the patio, Billy receives Jack’s message loud and clear – but he plans to hold onto the job he deserves. In fact, he’ll fight like hell to keep it.
Back at Lily’s, Devon tells Lily that he’s sure Tucker’s plotting something against CW.
Tucker reminds Maime that they both have a vested interest in removing Jill from CW. You’re bad news, Maime’s sorry she ever trusted him.
