Sally’s mostly silent as Audra and Kyle continue their vicious argument. This is just what I needed, Jack and Diane walk in to hear Audra taunt Kyle – you’re losing Claire to Holden.
Mike’s brought Lauren to Society (closed for a private and romantic evening) It’s not going well – Lauren knows he’s up to something – you better start talking.
** No time for proofreading etc today.
Audra blathers on about Kyle driving Claire into Holden’s strong arms – you lied to protect yourself – you were on that bed with me with nothing but a towel between us. Jack and Diane finally come over to ask what’s going on. When Jack leads Kyle away, Audra tells Diane to go with her drunk son. Diane’s not going anywhere.
Yes, this is very romantic, and that’s why Lauren’s suspicious that she’s being buttered up. Have you seen Victor lately? Mike distracts her with a dance.
Diane just wants to clear the air – she’s glad Audra’s back where she belongs – on the street. When Audra insists that Kyle was the one who confronted HER, Sally weakly confirms that Audra was going to apologize to Kyle. When Kyle kissed me in France, Claire was the last thing on his mind, Audra snarks – Who would do something so twisted? Oh, right – his Mommy.
At a table across the room, Jack tries to get Kyle to drink his tea. Don’t allow Audra to provoke you.
Audra knows all about Diane (from Tucker) You used to be quite the conniver back in the day – fun fact; she faked her own death (she tells Sally) Diane’s history is how she’s on to Audra – game recognizes game. You’re just mad because you want Kyle but know you’ll never, ever have him.
Lauren tells Mike that she turned dress shopping into a photo shoot – Chris loves all three dresses. Now, where did you go after I left? she asks.
Scolding Kyle for making a scene, Jack has serious things to attend to (when you sober up) – things that affect the family. I’m on my way to being sober, Kyle insists. When Diane joins them, Jack announces that Billy’s now declared war against Cane – so loudly that Sally (on her way out with Audra) questions Jack.
In the park, Billy’s browbeating his PI by phone – dig deeper – get the job done ~click~ I’m not done with you yet, Ashby, he mutters to himself.
Sitting Audra back down, Sally answers a call from Billy – your brother says you’re going to war with Cane. My future just blew up – she and Audra are in talks to move on. She needs stability in her life. If you meet me, we can get there, Billy implores.
Where did you go? What did you do? Lauren repeats. Mike turns the music up and again tries to distract with a dance. Lauren refuses.
