Behind the bar, Noah chats with his bartenders (who Danny and Sienna covered for on opening night) He’s pleased to see Audra ‘back so soon’. As if I could ever stay away, she bats her eyelashes.
Claire arrives at the club to ask her Mom if grandma’s OK – and are YOU OK? What’s going on????
Did I say something wrong? Matt’s sheepish. Phyllis eavesdrops as Cane wonders why Matt’s going ‘over the top’ in trying to prove he’s his biggest fan? This isn’t about me, it’s about Victor – what’s his agenda??
Victoria dissuades Claire from visiting her grandmother; she’s probably sleeping. She just found out that Lily owns Chancellor and has put Cane in charge. Worse, Victor GAVE Chancellor to Lily, Claire knows that won’t bring him and Nikki back together. Is there any way we can nudge them towards each other?
Matt fields Cane’s questions. He used to work on Hope’s farm in Kansas. Like Cane, his Dad got sick – he was with him til the end (also like Cane). It’s an honour, right? Phyllis continues to eavesdrop.
Audra gushes about what a great club Noah’s created. They reminisce about being artists in London. You deserve all the success in the world, she puts her hand over Noah’s (as Sienna watches)
Menus ignored, Victoria admits there’s been some terrible moments between her parents. The stress is eating away at Nikki, to the point …. If something’s wrong with grandma, you HAVE to let me know, Claire implores.
Coming over to cling to Noah, Sienna welcomes Audra back. Audra comments that the vibe here is different than in LA – and you won’t have drug deals in the alley. When Noah’s called away, the ladies go at it until Sienna tells Audra to back off.
