Sienna’s not as impressed as Noah that Audra’s running a media company. After she escorts him away, Holden joins Audra to ask if she always set your sights on men involved with other women. Sienna has insight into our secret, he reminds.
Victor asks Claire to join her mother and him – he’ll show her how to run a big conglomerate.
Jack must respond and hopes Nikki will help him. She wants Victor to learn his lesson but this escalation has to stop. Doing nothing is NOT an option for Jack. Nikki dissuades him from striking back. Lay down your sword before more damage is done.
Victoria repeats that she had nothing to do with her father’s plan. At least Nikki’s standing up to Victor! Diane points out that Jack’s not the one who stole their companies. Victor is vicious, cruel and sick – how can you condone that!? Victoria maintains that her father didn’t push Jack into Patty’s arms.
Victoria really is her father’s daughter, Kyle and Diane are left to agree (but disagree on whether Jack’s responsible for his actions with Patty) He was in his right mind when we found him in bed with her! Diane can’t make sense of it.
Jack has to respond because Victor only respects strength. He’ll go ahead with or without Nikki.
Surprised to find Claire at the ranch, Victoria’s there to pick up some things for her Mom. She’s lucky I didn’t throw her stuff on the lawn! Victor will NOT reach out to her – end of story! he waddles off.
Sienna ordering her latte with no foam, seems to ruin Ester’s day. Shrugging it off, Noah tells Sienna that he and Audra go way back.
Holden leaves Audra to watch Noah (who returns her stare despite Sienna hanging all over him) On the patio Cane tells Holden that he has a job for him. You’ll get your hands dirty. That a problem for you??
Noah shrugs off Ester’s visible reaction to the ‘no foam’ lattee. Sienna would like to know about Noah’s history with Audra – and one day she’ll share her own. Leaving hand in hand, Sienna gives Audra a look.
Holden doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty. You OK with making a move on Victor Newman? Cane asks.
Victoria and Claire are left to discuss how angry Victor and Nikki are at one another. He said the two of you were going against Phyllis – he wants to show me the ropes. How do you feel about that? Victoria asks. Claire’s not sure she can work with her grandfather if people keep getting hurt.
Dad would never hurt you or risk what you have, Kyle insists. Diane repeats that drugs didn’t push Jack into Patty’s arms. After Kyle excuses himself to take a call, Diane’s left to sulk at the bar. Of course, Jack appears to lock eyes with her.
Next Week; Assuming things go well, we can celebrate later tonight, Risa mauls Adam. He looks forward to it ~kiss~…. Nick asks Adam how far he’s willing to go with this woman…. Lily smiles at Malcolm as he comes through the revolving door ….(Blast from the past) Stephanie tells Malcolm that she remembers Dru and Neil setting them up; they thought we were perfect together.
