What business could you have here so late? Phyllis’s seen versions of Audra come and go – you chew people up and spit em out. It’s no shock you and Tucker are close. You ruined my daughter’s marriage. Kyle was already done with Summer, Audra finally walks in. Phyllis leaves her to demand answers from Tucker. He just hopes they’re a team again.
Jill’s the outlier – Lily and Devon are the ones making CW successful, Maime opines. ‘You three could be the new power-generation’. Is Nate in?
Back at the house, Jack explains the tension between him and Kyle (asking him to step down from Marchetti when he broke up with Summer) He’s making bad decisions. Traci suggests Kyle’s lashing out – what does he want? Billy’s job. What does he deserve? she gets Jack thinking.
Diane doesn’t understand why Kyle would associate with someone like Audra. She’s smart and fun, what’s wrong with those traits? I could learn a thing or two from her. Diane’s frustrated when Kyle strides out.
Audra’s not content at Newman and Nikki’s new hire is creepy; a climber. So are you, Tucker detects jealousy. Audra did better than get info from Kyle, she’s ‘this close’ to pulling him away from his family. How? By offering him the top spot at Jabot, alongside me.
Is this a coup to get Jill out? Nate knows she’ll fight for control of CW. Maybe she just needs to find a new man, Maime makes Nate suspicious of what she’s not saying.
Tucker doubts the ‘straight and narrow’ Kyle will betray his family. Audra lays out that he feels pushed aside. He’s prime for a reset, it’s only a matter of time.
Yes, Nate is accusing Maime of something and yes, he’s stalling on answering her offer. He’s happy where he is but agrees to think about it (because he’s pretty sure she can’t make it happen)
Honestly, Jack gave Kyle more than he deserved – he shot to the top before he’d developed his business skills. There’s a sense of entitlement and arrogance, he sadly admits to Traci. Kyle comes in to eavesdrop as Jack thinks the necessary step for Kyle is to work his way up at Jabot – to pay his dues. Having heard enough, Kyle quietly exits and texts Audra – let’s talk.
Yanking her purse out of Tucker’s hand, Audra reads Kyle’s text and boasts that she’s clearly gotten through to him. It’s not a trap, I’m in total control. Tucker hopes she’s not falling for Kyle – our plans can’t be derailed because of ‘feelings’. Audra goes on the offense – perhaps Tucker’s feelings for Ashley are the real problem.
A nanosecond after Nate goes through the revolving door, Mr McCall comes down to exchange polite pleasantries with Ms Johnson. Have a good night.
