An affair with a married woman? Audra gasps. Yes, she read about Kyle online (since she only knew that he was married to her exes sister) She shares an exploit of her own – sex in a helicopter. I have some moves. Show me some, Kyle leads her to the dance-floor.
Vikki’s hoping her Dad still trusts her when Nate barges in for some bourbon – I mean to discuss a real estate project. Vikki’s sure he Daddy wants to head back to the ranch. No, he’d like to have a word with Nate. Kindly close the door and pour yourself some of that bourbon he instructs Nate (who seems to be under the mistaken impression that Victor wants to hear that he’s up to the task of replacing Nick)
Billy warns Jack that he’s given Ashley ammunition to take to the board. Diane’s not qualified for this job. Tucker has way more experience. Sure, he’s on the outside NOW. But what’s to stop them from getting married and doing the exact same thing as you and Diane!? Yes, Billy reluctantly agrees that he has Jack’s back – Diane’s too, UNTIL she gives him reason not to.
You’re going to be one busy girl, Ashley taunts – working alongside Jack, planning a wedding. She doesn’t plan to throw a tantrum – you’ll find out what I’m up to soon enough. Is it bad that I get a kick out of getting under your skin? Diane’s not sure what to think.
‘It’s getting late’, Kyle breaks the spell as the pianist finishes. Having also enjoyed this distraction, Audra Hopes Kyle isn’t driving home. She doesn’t have to worry about that – lucky me. Living upstairs has its perks.
Nate guesses by Victor’s silence that he’s also concerned about him trying to take Nick’s place. He has no intention of repeating the mistake he made at CW. Victor hopes not – that would make me your enemy. Are we clear?
Our table’s ready, Diane says as Jack arrives. Once seated, she talks about Ashley taking the press release in stride. Billy thinks she’s up to something but there’ll be no coup. He’s behind us – for now (Jack looks nervous)
At the revolving door, Audra and Kyle continue to flirt. The bad boy is buried deep – your tie’s still knotted, she giggles as Kyle loosens it.
Nate reads Victor’s warning ‘crystal clear’. My intentions are pure – he cares about his job and Vikki. ‘You bet’, Victor has concerns there too. Nate respects Victor, Vikki and Nick – who says the only way to earn back his trust is to decline taking his job – but Vikki believes in me. Vikki arrives in time to hope that Nate’s eased her Dad’s doubts.
Ashley comes home to take a bite of Billy’s pie. He was hoping to run into her. I was wrong, he’s sure the press release sent her into a tizzy. She’s given up and should have listened to Billy (he wonders what she’s up to)
Diane’s too distracted by Ashley’s ‘new leaf’ to order dinner. You need to talk to the board, to nip this in the bud. Think if Kyle and Summer. Jack just wants to have a nice dinner with the woman he loves. Diane thinks it a wonderful idea.
I should get that cab, Kyle says reluctantly. Audra should go up to shower and get into bed (equally reluctant) I had a lovely time. Briefly locking eyes, Kyle follows Audra upstairs. Jack’s face reflects what he’s seen. What’s wrong? Diane’s alarmed (her back to the revolving door)
Should I pour myself a drink to toast Nate helping us during Nick’s absence? Vikki asks. I should head home, Victor will keep a close eye on things around here. Vikki and Nate would expect nothing less. Both are left to hope her father’s coming around ~kiss~
Ashley has something benign up her sleeve. No, she won’t tell Billy what it is. He hopes she knows what she’s doing.
Jack wants to go down to the lounge for a dance. He doesn’t want to spoil the evening. Diane convinces him to confide that Kyle just went upstairs. Perhaps one more night apart will remind him that he needs Summer.
Kyle and Audra enter her room attached at the lips and taking each other’s clothes off.
My Thoughts: Kyle couldn’t possibly be any cringier. Really? You ‘partied with the best of them’? Were you the first one into the hot tub at the Playboy Mansion? The last one off the dance floor at Studio 54? The guy who fell off the scaffolding at Woodstock? No – your bad-boy cred comes by way of extramarital sex with a bored, middle-aged housewife who is now serving time in prison for embezzling from her own company. Embezzlement! How quaint. If Kyle really wanted to impress Audra, he should have told her that his Mom conceived him with stolen sperm she thought belonged to Victor Newman. Uh oh, I can think of a certain former President who’s gonna be really pissed off if he hears Kyle’s claim that he had an affair with the wife of ‘the richest man in New York City’….. Imagine how hard it must be for Audra not to laugh at Kyle boasting with a rich guy’s wife when she’s been sleeping with billionaire, Tucker McCall. On the other hand, sex in a helicopter likely isn’t impressive to a trust fund baby who’s used to flying around on a private jet. Soooo, I wonder which one of the club’s many guests will spot Kyle coming out of Audra’s suite? One can only hope Ashley’s holding a press conference catches Kyle’s walk of shame tomorrow morning.
