Audra confides that her father drank – her mother shut down; pushed me away when I needed her. Amy can see cracks in her armour (that Nate put there) Audra feels lucky to have Nate in her life. Amy hopes Damien feels the same way.
Damien feels that he’s better off without his mother in his life. Why does he sense urgency? Just talk to her – you won’t regret it, Nate says. The only thing Damien regrets is Nate wasting his time. Nate’s left alone to sigh.
Yes, Diane thinks Kyle’s falling for Claire – and that could be trouble.
Jakc asks how Sharon and Daniel are doing. And how did Jordan escape from prison? Vikki’s just glad she’s dead – Kyle’s been very supportive of Claire, Vikki chimes in. When Jack hopes Victor’s not in too much pain, he’s told ‘as if you give a damn’)
After Summer leaves, Billy announces that his idea is exciting and new; he has funding and would love both Phyllis and Daniel to join him. When something sounds too good to be true it usually is, Daniel states. What corner of the universe are we going to conquer first? Phyllis is onboard.
Diane DOES approve of Claire, it’s Victor she doesn’t trust. He has nothing to do with our relationship, Kyle couldn’t care less about his feelings. Let him try keep us apart.
Victor knows Jack came to see Nikki, not him. Jack’s there to see that everyone’s OK. Nikki is – thanks to Victor. Go worry about your own nonsense. When Jack decides to show himself out, Victor tells him that Kyle’s to stay away from his granddaughter. Vikki asks why her father has a problem with Claire seeing Kyle. I don’t like it! Victor snaps.
Billy plans to build an epic media company. Guessing he just wants to compete with Adam/Victor, Daniel doesn’t want his Mom to be cannon fodder. Phyllis is in (and wants Daniel to be too) He needs to know more – like where funding’s coming from. Phyllis doesn’t look pleased to hear ‘Jack’.
Jack comes home to tell Diane that he just went to see Nikki. She hoped she didn’t overstep by warning Kyle that Victor might try to stop him from seeing Claire. Your timing is perfect, Jack grimaces.
Claire’s naive, Victor can’t believe Vikki and Cole are OK with her seeing Kyle. After the three ‘kids’ leave, Nikki can’t believe Victor’s still opposed to Claire and Kyle dating.
It was strange, Nate tells Nate and Amy that he didn’t get to say much to Damien after telling him that he reached out on Amy’s behalf. There’s something big we’re missing here.
The ‘Damien’ imposter meets up with the real Damien in the park – it’s just like you suspected. Amy wants to talk – she wants to reconnect with you, Damien.
Back at Society, Billy looks forward to rewarding Jack with a fantastic return on his investment. We are going to need some time to discuss it and get back to you, Daniel speaks for Phyllis. Billy will wait for their call. Are you seriously not interested? Daniel’s problem? It’s Billy – whatever he does is bound to fail.
Amy worries her son will disappear – I may never see him again, she worries to Nate and Audra.
In the park, fake Damein asks real Damien what he’s drinking. Oatmeal, vanilla latte. Funny, they seem to know how you take your latte, fake-Damien chuckles. Real Damien needs to find out what kind of game they’re playing – you have to keep pretending to be me.
Why didn’t you tell Kyle just now? Diane asks – he should know if Victor’s determined to destroy his and Claire’s relationship. Jack won’t let him come after Kyle again.
Victor can’t stand Kyle being around Claire. He can’t stand the Abbott’s – and needs Claire to feel the same way. I don’t know what I’d do without you, he tears up. You’ll never have to find out, Nikki hugs him.
