For the second time that day, Jill hears that Billy’s in dire straits. Victor wouldn’t sell Chancellor back to me, she knows. Sally knows another way she can help.
Back at Jabot, Jack thinks Kyle should hold off on telling Harrison the bad news. When Diane arrives with take out from Society, she’s sorry about the break up and sorry to be the one to tell him that Claire’s going to LA. Don’t tell me you’re supporting her too, Kyle’s unimpressed.
Let’s talk about something else – what will Claire do in LA? She surprises her Mom and grandmother by announcing that she’s going with Holden.
Nikki met Holden when he was posing as Damian. Vikki finds him quite charming. Neither seem convinced that Claire claims they’re just friends going on an adventure.
Diane’s not taking Claire’s side – she’s trying to understand her decision. It’s just temporary, she has a feeling it’s not over. Kyle can’t help but be nervous that Claire realizes she never loved him at all. If that’s the case, it’s something you’ll have to accept, Jack adds.
Sharon continues to warn Tessa about how Mariah might react to her ‘investigation’ – forcing the truth to come out might push her further away. Daniel eavesdrops as Tessa vows to do anything to help the wife she loves so much.
Billy claims he’s given up on Chancellor but without it, he’s floundering, Sally hasn’t given up on Abbott Communications. You want me to invest, Jill understands.
Sally’s the one looking for an investor, Billy knows nothing about it – he’ll be an investor. It’s a business proposition we can both benefit from – all Jill has to do is say ‘yes’.
Sharon’s worried this could blow up in my face, Tessa tells Daniel when he joins them. Honestly, he’s worried too – at best, Mariah might be pissed. Worse, she’s right and it’s unforgivable. Tessa won’t be talked out of digging for the truth.
Nikki and Vikki are left to credit one another with Claire’s strength. As for Holden, Nate told him he has ties to Cane and history with Aiudra. Claire has a mind of her own these days – nothing will deter her from going to LA.
Running into one another in the park, Kyle questions Claire running off to LA – are you that desperate to get away from me??
Sharon’s glad that Daniel’s going with Tessa (who’s glad too) Promising to be careful, Tessa hugs Sharon (who’s left to look worried after she and Daniel leave)
Jill will think about it and talk to Sally when she comes to GC in a few days. She now understands what Billy sees in her.
Nikki can’t help but worry about Claire being in LA with Holden in her ‘vulnerable’ state and is relieved when Vikki decides that Nick can look in on her when he and Sharon meet Noah.
When Claire admits that Holden will be in LA when she’s there, Kyle snaps – are you using this ‘I need to find myself’ claim to dump me and spend time with Holden Novak!?
