Looking ravishing in red, Victoria arrives on the patio to smile at the selfie of her and Kyle.
At Society, Claire tells Kyle that Holden just dumped her decisively – who does that? It seemed so easy, she doesn’t understand. I thought he cared about me. How could he treat me like this?
Audra sashays into the Shadow Room to rudely order champagne. Your reputation proceeds you – if you’re celebrating a win, you probably kneecapped someone to get it, Daniel puts her in her place.
At Society, Lily tells Cane that she really thought Billy would forget Chancellor and focus on his new family.
Sally comes home to immediately detect Billy’s mood – Jack’s visit didn’t go well, she correctly assumes.
Billy evades Sally’s questions with humour and a kiss.
Amanda hasn’t been able to find proof that the loan was repaid, Cane will call her. Lily has someone else in mind.
The Baldwins are at CL’s to dissuade Ester from going to London to see Jill for Thanksgiving – spend it with us, they invite. Lauren has a meeting with Victoria (who might have ‘feelings’ about her working with Phyllis)
On the patio, Victoria flashes back to being in bed with Kyle.
Claire tells Kyle about the nice things Holden did for her – it makes no sense that he broke up with me over the phone. Am I crazy? she asks without a trace of irony. Kyle’s sorry – is there another woman involved? Yes – Claire relays putting a scare into Audra.
Whose life did you ruin today? Daniel asks his rude customer. Never mind, don’t tell me – sit and bask in the glory of whoever’s life you destroyed. Enjoy, he walks off to do bartender things.
There she is, good luck, Ester tells Lauren (who joins Victoria on the patio) Mike gets a call from Lily, summoning him to Society.
Victoria’s not mad at Lauren; she was glad there was an adult in the room while Phyllis ran Summer’s Conglomerate. What she’s asking for is premium shelf space for Vibrante. Kyle asked her the same thing for Jabot Classic. Sweet that you’re both looking out for your Moms – you two have a lot in common.
Do you treat all your customers this badly? Audra wonders what Daniel has against her. He doesn’t like what she did to Summer. Her cousin is worse; the one who tried to murder her family (Claire)
Claire just knows that Audra had something to do with this. Kyle agrees. But, if she could ruin it, what does that say about Holden? Neither of us deserved you.
** I’m in a busy airport right now and my bag just fell on my keyboard; deleting a few paragraphs. So here’s what I can remember.
Audra enjoys taunting Daniel – but is deflated when hearing that Noah’s staying in LA.
Claire continues to whine to Kyle about Holden. She can’t let Audra win.
Victoria’s unsettled by Lauren’s comments about the Newman-Abbott dynamic. You’re either at war or star-crossed lovers.
Sally and Billy chat about their upcoming trip. She’s a no to beans on toast and blood pudding.
Knowing that Cane has Amanda on retainer, Mike’s surprised to hear that Lily and Cane have a job for him.
Audra’s not upset that Noah’s gone for good – I’m a cold hearted bitch, remember? When Daniel assumes she wad with Noah for power and money, Audra scowls – You think you know me? Go wipe a table of something. Good idea, Daniel walks off.
