Daniel tells his Mom that Summer’s eyes are open to Diane – she feels pressure from Kyle. Why isn’t she sticking up for me? Phyllis whines. Summer needs your support right now – be the bigger person, Daniel advises.
Audra knows Tucker from her time in London but why let that stop the momentum? Do we really want another embarrassing disruption so close to taking CW public? You’re fired! Have security escort her out, Lily marches. Audra will go if Devon feels the same way.
Ashley finds a folder in a drawer. Hmmm – Ashley Abbott Beauty Inc? She riffles through the paperwork Jabot – comps, evaluations. There’s nothing in there you don’t already know, Tucker catches her.
You want me on your side, not competition, Audra knows a lot about the company. Get your things and leave – your services are no longer needed, Devon growls. You’re not a very good judge of character are you? Audra taunts – Always letting foxes into the henhouse. You’ve been played – a lot; makes me wonder how you got as far as you have, she leaves.
No longer needing a man to take care of her, Diane feels her relationship with Jack is different this time. How can she pretend to tolerate Stark when she feels so much for Jack?
Still at CL’s, Phyllis wonders why Summer confided in Daniel instead of her. Don’t tell her’ empathize with her, Daniel coaches. When Lily arrives, Phyllis notes that he’s the one who’s distracted now. After his Mom leaves, Daniel wastes no time joining Lily. Alarmed to hear there’s another work crisis, he welps – it won’t affect Megashpere will it???
Yeah, you knew I wanted info on Jabot’s financials, Tucker reminds that he asked Diane to get it. But, he’s since changed his mind. We both know what’s happening between us is real. Bang – Bang. Tucker! Open up! Devon shouts.
Reassuring Daniel that Megashpere is still a go, Lily doesn’t need to get home – let’s stay here and talk about things that don’t matter. He’s in.
Jack tells Diane to stop talking (so he can kiss her) Phyllis arrives to watch through the door.
Running into Nate at Society’s bar, Audra tells him that she’s celebrating going off to her next adventure. In town? Probably not – she needs a challenge to stay engaged. Nate’s the same. Stick around, he might have an opportunity for her.
Devon apologizes to Ashley then tells Tucker that their relationship’s over. He’s outraged that he put a plant in his company with plans to take it over and won’t listen to Tucker’s BS explanation. Ashley’s in tears as Tucker warns Devon that he’s dangerously close to crossing the line. Oh, there’s a line now? Vowing to basically make Tucker a pariah, Devon slams out.
Not believing that Devon’s accusations are untrue, Ashley claims it was all an act anyway (to get to the truth) She just needed to be in the right place at the right time! she shrugs Tucker off and storms out. After slamming the door, he sends the Jabot paperwork flying. In the hallway, Ashley’s facial expression reveals her pain.
The kiss is Diane’s cue to go back to her hotel suite – alone. Jack smiles – he wasn’t suggesting otherwise. That’s too bad, she flirts. We’ll handle this together, he cups her face.
Nate thinks Audra a good candidate for the COO position at Newman Media – then we’d have more to celebrate. Consider my hat tossed, she clinks his glass. Tucker then arrives at the Glam Club to join Phyllis (who looks absolutely traumatized) Are you ready? For what? she asks. To burn it all down, he replies.
