Go ahead – play hero, Audra thinks it sad that Holden believes he has a chance with Claire. Leave her alone, he repeats – if you keep throwing her past in her face, I’ll reveal YOURS.
Billy knows what’s going on between Kyle and Claire. Sally hopes her ‘right hand’ doesn’t hurl a drink or flip a table. If she feels attacked, Audra will do anything to defend herself.
Audra’s not afraid of anyone. Holden remembers everything she’s pretending to forget – you have nothing here (and would have even less if everyone knew what you did) It would destroy you. The stain of what you did would never wash away.
Claire still loves you but she’s confused, Vic’s not sure how she’ll handle it. Kyle’s not sure how to prove he deserves his beloved Claire. Maybe there is a way Vic can help him after all.
Kyle loves you – that’s all you need to know, Victor understands why he didn’t tell Claire something that would hurt her. None of this feels right to Claire; what’s this secret agreement? Talk to Kyle and listen to your heart, Victor sends her off with a hug.
Vic won’t try to influence Claire but will see where her head’s at – whether she needs space or more communication. Don’t make me regret it. When Claire arrives, Vic leaves them to chat.
Sally stands by her decision to hire ‘creative-thinker’, Audra. Billy will put a security detail on her (half-joking)
Vic drops by her father’s office to hear that Claire was just there. Victor’s sure nothing else happened between Audra and Kyle (who’s earned his trust)
On the patio, Claire was willing to give Kyle the benefit of the doubt – until she found out he’s keeping more secrets – where will it end??
Billy has something for Sally – it’s a ‘loaner’; a broach Katherine gave to Delia (Chloe gave the OK for Sally to wear it for good luck tonight, when launching a company that bears Delia’s last name)
Vic and Victor agree that Audra needs to be shown the door.
Leave Kyle and Claire alone, Holden repeats – don’t make me do something you’ll regret; let them live their lives.
Back on the patio, Claire asks about the agreement Kyle made with her grandfather – was it to protect me (again)? Or to protect yourself?
