When Phyllis arrives at Society, Diane hopes she doesn’t come over, then is perturbed when Jack calls her over.
Cane visits the ranch to tell Victor that he’s declining his request to team up and take Jabot from the Abbotts.
Still on bended-knee, holding the ring-box aloft, Kyle implores Claire to make him the happiest man in the world. Hearing that he bought the ring right after their fight, she suspects he’s trying to fix what he did.
Kyle loves Claire – he wants this, for us. She knows he’s sorry but reminds that she asked him for time, and we haven’t even lived together yet. What will you suggest next? A baby?
Phyllis is happy to chat about Harrison – but not what she and Cane have planned. The Abbotts have heard that Cane called off his scheme.
Yes, Victor understands Cane wanting to put his kids first – but, he wasn’t making a request – it was an order. How will the twins feel when the truth comes out that their father’s fortune was built on money their grandfather conned out of an elderly lady in France?
Exchanging insults with Diane, Phyllis waves off Billy’s info as sour grapes (because Cane cut him loose) She and cane are moving forward – there’s only one delay. What’s that? Diane wonders.
Cane’s sure his kids are smart enough to recognize a smear campaign. Victor thinks them smart enough to recognize a con. Why would you trust me to help you? Cane asks – and why do you need me to help you take Jabot?
Kyle’s not doing damage control, he proposed because he loves Claire. He kissed Audra to see how far she’d go – her and Victor’s plan almost worked. what!? Claire flips – how close to sleeping with her were you?!
Kyle was NEVER going to sleep with Audra. Having been raised not to trust anyone, Claire feels he’s damaged that. Kyle understands and hates that his actions remind Claire of Jordan. I love you and want to spend the rest of my life with you. Claire believes him but needs time to think about it.
Why would TGVN need my help to go after Jabot? cane repeats. Victor knows his team has developed AI software that can infiltrate any company and destabilize its financial infrastructure. It’ll be worth billions and Victor demands that Cane share it with him.
