On the patio, Holden’s having no luck job-hunting online but smiles when he gets a text from his Mom (who’s on her way) Good news? Audra appears to ask.
Devon and Nate run into Lily at the club. Both are still shocked and upset but suggest doing some work over breakfast. Lily would love to clear the air but is meeting someone. Devon hopes it’s not Cane.
Some financial guy is on Cane’s train with a list of Arabesque’s assets (which isn’t much) Banks won’t touch you, the man wonders if Cane has other avenues.
Phyllis is on the phone wheelin’ n dealin’. She’ll have her lawyers send over the paperwork this afternoon. I’m good, she congratulates herself – then calls Lauren to say ‘we’re crushing it’. It’s us against them.
Claire hopes Holden’s smile has nothing to do with Claire. He knows she doesn’t care about his heart (just in keeping their secret) Audra then gloats about her great job (while he’s unemployed)
Cane has some money in offshore accounts but not nearly enough. He’s going to take what’s ‘theirs’ and make it his. Look into the businesses weaknesses in town – twist some arms (or do some kidnapping) When the man balks, he fires him. I need people who aren’t afraid to what needs to be done! Go!! Dude scurries out of his office.
Nate and Devon would have gone along with Lily’s plan if she’d told them (instead of worrying them) Lily hopes they’ll understand once she explains but right now has a meeting. Malcolm arrives to greet Nate and Devon. Hey baby girl, he hugs Lily.
Malcom’s in GC for some family time. Does this have to do with Lily and the kids going MIA? Devon asks. Uh no – Lily will fill him in later. Needing to talk to her in private, Malcolm leaves Nate and Devon to wonder what’s up.
Back on the patio, Audra apologizes to Holden – but you bring this on yourself. She’s not interested in Kyle and Noah’s not available. Wanting to be with Claire, he teases the idea of telling her the truth. Don’t you dare, Audra warns.
After admiring Neil’s portrait for a minute, Malcolm tells Lily that he’s got a rare blood disease. Yes, it’s serious but it was diagnosed early. I need you to save my life.
Audra won’t let Holden blow her life up. If you tell Claire, I’ll make your life miserable. Don’t mess with me – you now what I’m capable of. Who the hell are you to threaten my son!? Dr Stephanie Simmons appears to scowl.
Malcolm needs a bone marrow transplant. Lily will get tested and do whatever she can. She’s honoured he came to her. Olivia had this disease – Dru saved her life, Malcolm reminds. You’ll beat this, Lily looks at Neil’s portrait.
