Getting dressed, Kyle needs to get home to Harrison. Audra likes that he’s not ‘clingy’ but cautions him to be more discreet with his text messages (Tucker’s nosy) Opening the door, both are surprised to find Nate there.

Daniel and Lily change the subject – she got a new headboard in the guestroom. Her chat with Nate didn’t go well; why can’t he see that Vikki’s wrong for him? The Newmans hurt/use people.

Kyle was just leaving. Nate welcomes him aboard and strolls in to notice the tangled bed sheets. He updates Audra that Victor summoned them all to the ranch – he doesn’t trust me. She’ll have to come out for food and drinks if she wants to know more.

Summer tells Diane that she donated a kidney to Lola in order to get Kyle to marry her. Declining the offer to stay, she’s just about to leave when Kyle comes home to coldly ask ‘what’s she doing here?’






Over pretzels and drinks, Nate updates Audra that Victor’s laid down the law. Nick’s to run McCall with Adam and Sharon (yes, Noah’s Mom) He’ll keep his position – leaving Audra to run Newman Media with Kyle.

Summer tells Kyle that her Mom turned herself in. Is that perfume I smell? Have you been with someone? Good night, he goes upstairs. Summer slams out, leaving Diane to shake her head.

When Heather vouches for her client, Chris is skeptical of this witness who magically appeared – it stinks to high heaven. Even if Phyllis killed Stark in self defense, she faces other charges. Heather wants Chris to put her issues with Phyllis aside to give her the benefit of the doubt.

Daniel and Lily appreciate one another’s support. He looks defeated – one storm blows over, another begins.

Pouring himself a drink, Kyle tells his Mom that he starts a new job tomorrow – with Audra. Dad’s loss is her gain – I’ve got this. Though worried, Diane will drop it and go to bed.

Vikki plans to fold McCall into Newman Media (without Adam) Nate tells Audra. ‘To winning’ they clink glasses. Summer marches over but has nothing to say after ‘Audra’ (it seems she’s clued in)
