‘I’ve got this’, Audra can fix things. Victor will never admit his part and Kyle only looks more guilty the more he ‘wags his finger at me’. He’s lucky I kissed him at Society instead of hitting him. What?! You killed Kyle in public!? And Claire walked in!? Having been cheated on, Sally relates to Nate – she also doesn’t want Audra to blow up her relationship with him.
Devon tells Nate that Abby believes that her father hatched a plan to break up Claire and Abby – he made a deal with Audra. She must have instigated everything.
Warning his father and Claire to play nice, Vikki leaves them to chat. Victor loves and respects Claire – has always wanted to protect her. Claire doesn’t need protecting from Kyle – he loves me. Victor won’t stand in their way any longer.
Kyle jumping at the chance to collaborate with Audra makes no sense to Nate either. Her answers don’t make sense – but he feels like an idiot for not trusting the woman he loves. What does your gut say? Devon asks. Nate’s afraid to answer.
Kyle worries there’s no easy way out. Jack and Diane agree – face it straight on. Have the awkward conversation before Audra gets inside Claire’s head.
Victor tells Claire that he’ll no longer block her and Kyle’s relationship. Why? He’s been thinking a lot – watching her grieve. Both of us know what it means to grow up without family. Please forgive me, Victor tears up as Claire hugs him.
Kyle vows to enjoy his life with Claire, Victor and Audra be damned. This should be interesting, he answers a call from Victor. Come to the ranch immediately ~click~ Claire arrives to announce that she just spoke to her grandfather. Everything’s changed, she smiles.
Joining the ladies at CL’s, Nate wishes Sally and Audra great success with Abbott Communications. After Sally leaves, he sits. No, he doesn’t want to hear everything from the beginning – it’s time you listen to me.
Vikki and Nikki arrive at Society to hear the good news. The thought of losing you was too much for your grandfather to bear. Claire’s never been happier.
At the ranch, Victor admits he’s pushed Kyle to the point he thought he’d break – you showed your integrity and never wavered in your love for Claire. You convinced me that you truly love my granddaughter. Victor will now step aside.
Audra wants to drop the subject of Kyle and go home. Nate can’t pretend last night didn’t happen. You need to hear me out. He’s gone over everything – there’s too many holes in your story – you’re lying to me.
Claire thanks her Mom, grandmother and Jack and Diane for their support. Jack must play devil’s advocate – stay alert; with the Mustache, there’s always the chance that another shoe may drop.
Kyle’s suspicious – is this another trap? No, Victor believes Kyle loves Claire. Kyle’s pleased – it means a lot to have your blessing. Victor wouldn’t go that far – I’ll be watching you.
