The jazz lounge is a hive of activity as Billy and Sally prepare for the launch of Abbott Communications. After a speech for their team, Billy gives his co-CEO a kiss.
Upstairs, over drinks in the dining room, Jack and Kyle discuss shutting Jabot down. Jack’s glad his Dad’s not alive to see it.
Victor’s home – followed by Noah, Nick, Sharon – and Sienna (who couldn’t look more uncomfortable as Nikki fusses over her grandson)
Victor returns to the foyer to remind Sienna that his money and power saved her ass – he’ll be keeping an eye on her.
Sienna apologizes for her sarcasm – it’s like a nervous tick – she’s grateful to Victor. You’re welcome, just watch your step, Victor excuses himself to rejoin the family. Glad to finally meet Claire, Noah then introduces Sienna (who Claire remembers from the Shadow Room)
Billy’s thrilled to be launching their media company built on truth – and that Sally will be running Abbott Communications. When Audra drops by to congratulate them, Billy politely excuses himself to take a call – leaving Sally to open a gift Audra’s brought.
Jack talks about his father starting the company when a handshake sealed a deal. Kyle hopes Victor will make his move now that they’re ready for him; the suspense is killing me. Jack’s more cautious – losing is not an option for us.
Jack and Kyle now discuss Audra conspiring with Victor, then losing everything. Kyle lost something too – Claire – and the way back into her good graces may be through Audra.
A travel book to an island in Greece? Sally’s puzzled. Not just any island – it’s the island run by Amazon women, no men (in Greek mythology) – in case Billy changes his mind. Sally’s sorry they aren’t working together. Tonight isn’t about me, it’s about you, Audra gives her BFF a hug.
When Noah introduces Sienna and Claire explains that she met her with Holden at the bar, a frosty Nikki wonders what she’s doing ‘here’. Arriving with Chelsea, Adam hugs Noah. More introductions are made. Victor asked them all there to welcome Noah – and let them know that someone’s targeting their family.
Matt Clark’s alive, Victor announces. Nick and Sienna fill in the rest (as Chelsea never heard of him) Sienna adds that Matt tried to get Noah to take Fentanyl. Nikki’s outraged – he had a new identity!? Why hasn’t he been arrested!? Nick and I have a plan for the bastard, Victor assures. Sharon hopes he’s not on his way to GC.
Audra doesn’t want to put Sally in an awkward position with her investor; she believes she will work at AC because the investor is a woman. Because you do so well with women? Sally jokes without confirming. Arriving with Jack, Kyle thinks Audra should stick around to support her one and only friend.
