Over coffee at the park cafe, Holden’s surprised that Audra’s expressing joy over his good fortune (and that hug) Audra was reminded of Amy’s cancer battle; she knows what this roller-coaster is like. We can be happy for each other, they decide. Not to ruin the mood but Noah recreated the Shadow Room in GC, Audra adds that it opens tonight.
Noah tells his parents that he’s opening the Shadow Room tonight. He wants Sienna to have a second chance at making her dreams come true for the club. Sharon and Nick are just happy he’s sticking around.
Your every move will be monitored – you won’t be able to get off this ranch, Victor thinks Matt’s either one of the best liars he’s ever met or ‘you really are suffering from a dreadful medical disease’. Given the OK to get cleaned up, Matt thanks Victor for being so kind.
I did exactly what you begged me to do for months! Phyllis ‘had to’ give up her dream – I did ‘the right thing’. You just don’t get it, Daniel scoffs – you did it because you had to, not because it was the right thing. Both those things can be true, Phyllis argues.
Audra reports that Noah’s post about the new Shadow Room got so many likes online; it’s probably going to be a popular spot. Going by the photos, it looks a lot like the original. Holden doesn’t know how to feel about this (it will bring up memories for him – and Claire)
Suggesting lunch at Society, Cane knows how badly Lily wants to see him again. Laughing, Lily will meet him there in an hour. It’s a date, Cane grins. It’s NOT, she leaves smiling.
Nick arrives at the ranch to have a touching chat with his Dad about his recovery. The real reason he’s there is to ask ‘what’s the plan for Matt Clark’?
Yes, Phyllis was backed into a corner. Yes, she did the right thing. But, are you sorry for the things you did or are you a victimized martyr? Daniel asks. I can’t win here – Phyllis did this for him and his sister – I wanted you to be proud of me – to think I was a success, that’s all. I don’t even know why I’m bothering! Noah and Sharon arrive as Phyllis runs off in tears.
Victor’s decided that what’s best for all of them is to keep Matt close. If he’s truly repentative he could be of use to us. Victor will put Matt to the test to find out if he’s sincere. If he’s not? Nick asks. We crush him, without hesitation.
Back at the park cafe, Audra shows photos to Holden. It’ll be strange walking in that place. Was it strange when you took Claire to the Shadow Room in LA? Audra guesses he wanted to be a big shot whisking her past the bouncers. She’s curious enough to go to the opening. Holden suspects she’s intrigued by Noah (not curious about the new Shadow Room)
‘We couldn’t help but overhear’, Sharon’s been worried after hearing that Phyllis gave the company back. Daniel doesn’t understand why every good deed his Mother does has to be dragged out of her. Yeah, my sister, OUR sister’s been giving me an earful, Noah admits. Defending Phyllis, Sharon hints that Daniel should forgive her.
When Lily arrives, Victor wastes no time announcing that Newman Enterprises has been returned to him so he’s signing Chancellor over to her. In the background, Nick doesn’t look impressed.
Holden can see that Audra’s carrying a torch for her old flame. Noah’s with Sienna now – do you really want to go looking for more trouble?
Victor will have the paperwork sent over. Yes, of course Lily still wants the company – she and her kids sacrificed a lot for this plan. Thanks for keeping your word. After Lily leaves, Nick expresses his disapproval – Mom should be running Chancellor. This is going to kill her. I feel like a new man, Matt hopes he’s not interrupting.
