You and Victor are thicker than thieves, Diane persists. Mike doesn’t want to get involved in his feud with Jack. Sure, Jack acted foolishly but Victor should be grateful his wife is alive and sober. Jabot is the least of her concerns though. Victor wants to hurt Kyle (via Claire) and she’d love nothing more than to stop that bastard dead in his tracks!
Just the thought of Claire makes Kyle smile – she brightens my day. Kyle admits to putting a damper on their evening. You didn’t tell her Victor had a spy at Jabot!? Jack’s alarmed.
I missed you so much, Abby hugs her father. The house looks great, she comments. After a brief chat about Europe, Dom, Ashley and Traci/Martin, Victor says that there’s someone they need to keep an eye on (business, not personal)
Don’t try to take Victor on, Mike warns Diane that she’ll only make matters worse. He IS concerned but his hands are tied. You ARE my friend. Mike hates this feud but will be the ‘guardrail’. Diane hopes she can count on him to make the right choice when push comes to shove.
Kyle couldn’t lie to Claire – we can trust her. He’s trying to get her to see the truth about her grandfather but it’s a hard sell – I have to get through to her. Maybe you don’t, Jack thinks Claire will see Victor for who he is on her own.
Yes, Abby’s heard of Aristotle Dumar – she just met the guy who works for him, Nate’s half brother. They might be after Winters and Chancellor, Victor warns. He needs a favour – if you hear anything let me know. Absolutely, Abby agrees without hesitation.
Lily thinks they can give Damian a wake up call; that his boss isn’t as innocent as he thinks. Damian might not know Dumar’s true motives – or he does and has been corrupted. You must care what your son’s involved in – and we deserve to know.
Arriving at CL’s, Audra asks Amy how her visit with Traci went. Nate’s happy to hear it was the boost she needed. You ready to go home now? he fusses. In no rush, Amy asks how Audra’s special dinner went. She was full of surprises, Nate quips. When Lily hopes she didn’t offend her, Amy assures – not at all. Did it have to do with Damian? Nate asks.
Jack tells Kyle that he knocked the smug grin off ‘The Mustache’s’ face by boasting about how well the Abbott family’s doing. Diane comes in to congratulate Kyle. After he leaves, Diane tells Jack that they might have someone on the inside looking out for them.
Abby and Mike greet one another at the front door. What are you doing here at this hour? Victor growls. Mike ran into Diane – she hurled accusations that we’re making moves on Jabot. The Abbotts are suspicious.
Lily agreed to give Damian the benefit of the doubt. Amy doesn’t blame her for being suspicious. We both want to trust Damian. As Audra walks Amy out, Nate hopes Lily can keep an open mind. She is (and made that promise to Amy)
Yes, Diane accused Mike – she couldn’t help herself. Jack wishes she had – last thing we need is him telling Victor we turned his spy into a double agent. Mike claimed he’s against this feud and still our friend, Diane reports that he’s acting as a guardrail. Jack calls BS on that.
They’re grasping at straws, Victor hopes Mike gave Diane nothing. Of course not – but the Abbotts are on high alert, he thinks maybe they should withdraw their other two spies and come at it from a different angle. Did you cave to Diane?! Victor shouts – I don’t cave – EVER! Don’t forget who you work for!
Next Week: I got off the phone with Dr Kelly and have an update on your treatment, Nate seems to have good news for Damian and Amy .. Is there anything you’ve wanted to do but haven’t had time for? Tessa asks. Daniel has just the thing but needs her help …. Diane leads Jack and Kyle into the house. OK – open your eyes. Jack’s stunned speechless.
