Diane’s afraid to ask what reckless plan Billy’s come up with. He wants to take a jewel in the Newman empire, Jack’s impressed by his brothers’ loyalty to the family. Despite her reservations, Diane tells Jack to go for it – take Chancellor.
Audra can see that she was stupid and has learned her lesson – it will never happen again. I’d never betray you. If you can’t see this as a betrayal, I don’t know what’s wrong with you, Nate says ‘Goodbye Audra’, and leaves her near tears (as Amanda watches from the patio)
Kyle had Mrs Martinez prepare Claire’s favourite, Bolognese (the best she’s ever had) Kyle reports that Adam’s place is still available. Yes, she wants to live with Kyle – but what she wants and what’s possible may not be the same thing.
There are only two ways to hurt Victor – his company or his family, but, when Jack disagrees that there won’t be collateral damage, Diane’s annoyed that he cares about Nikki losing her corner office.
Running into Nate in the park, Vikki asks if everything’s OK. Knowing he misses his brother, she’s glad he has Amy and Audra in his life.
Amanda asks Audra if everything’s OK – Nate looked upset. His brother just died, Audra reminds. He’s dealing with it the way he does most things – privately.
Vikki’s sorry that Nate’s hurting – Audra seemed to make you happy. Agreeing that what she and Victor did was despicable, Nate’s eyes are wide open now (to what everyone was telling him)
Victor will never pay as long as you put Nikki’s feelings over our son’s happiness, and Diane wants him to pay! What if he’s launching another attack against our son, our family/company!? He can never hurt Kyle again!
Kyle believes everything is possible because he and Claire are in love. You have every reason to distrust me – but never doubt my love for you. I’m in awe of your strength, your bond with Harrison etc. etc. Kyle wants to spend the rest of his life proving himself to Claire (whose eyes widen as he gets on bended-knee to pop open the ring box)
Nate’s a good man, he and I were close once, Amanda can see that he and Audra were ‘close’ too – but based on what she saw in Nice, she thought Audra and Kyle were a thing. That was purely professional, Audra clip clops out – leaving Amanda to smirk – ‘good to know’.
It’s been quite a month, Vikki understates. Nate thanks her for listening. Of course, that’s what friends are for, she smiles.
Jack vows to stop Victor once and for all. Billy’s a wild card – he needs your strength and guidance, Diane continues – no one knows Victor better than you do. You have the means to take him down for good – the question is, will you?
What are you doing? Claire’s bewildered. Blowing past the one step at a time, Kyle wants to dive into the deep end. The only person he can imagine loving more than Claire Newman is Claire Abbott – will you marry me???
