Victor always appreciates Nate’s contributions, but … Mike insists this is corporate business that doesn’t involve Newman Media. Since Nate already knows of their plans to purchase Tucker’s debt, Vikki wants him to stay – he has big, bold ideas – and thanks to him we have a key element in place. Oh, goody, Mike sneers. Victor correctly guesses that Vikki’s referring to Nate’s COO, Audra Charles.
Mind if I join you? Yes – but that doesn’t stop Tucker from sitting beside Audra in TGP lobby. She sees no reason to share information with him. Is Newman Media still planning a move on Daniel’s gaming platform? Tucker asks – he assumes that since she slept with him the other day, they’re still ‘in cahoots’.
Running into one another at CL’s, Chance and Daniel waste little time addressing their status with Abby and Heather, respectively.
Nick and Sally come back to her suite. The test took no time but the results will be a few days. Stress isn’t good for the baby, Nick’s calmness mystifies Sally.
OMG – Sally suddenly realizes that her baby might be Summer’s brother of sister – she’s gonna hate that. Both she and Nick hope Adam isn’t the father. He’s eventually going to know I’m pregnant and will do the math. Maybe I should bite the bullet and tell him, she figures.
Daniel tells Chance that he hopes his gaming platform will reunite him with Lucy and Heather.
Back at Newman, Nate explains that Audra was Tucker’s mole at CW – she fed him info so he’d be able to buy controlling interest. And now she’s here, Mike’s even less impressed. She was a double agent – how do we know she’s not playing us?
Having already made his pitch to Daniel, Tucker wonders where Newman stands (should he be more aggressive with Daniel or give up and move on?) Before sharing any information, Audra wants the truth – how much debt are you in?
Tucker wonders where that rumour originated – maybe Victor, Nikki or Jack started it. Maybe Ashley or Devon, Audra adds – or maybe it IS true that McCall Unlimited is floundering. After more back and forth, Tucker’s decided to leave Omegasphere to Nate. Audra sees that as an acknowledgment (that he won’t)
Mike explains why he believes that Audra’s loyal. Mike sees no reason to bring anyone else in – they need no help to assume Tucker’s debt. Nate’s skeptical – would Tucker really make himself so vulnerable? Perhaps he’s laying a trap? Wondering the same thing, Victor makes Nate and Vikki super happy when he sees Audra’s value.
Daniel explains how his game will allow him to become his best self – players will be inspired to take action in their own lives. Chance hasn’t been feeling the same passion in his career. He joined law enforcement to protect the innocent and punish the guilty – lately it feels like he’s been doing the opposite.
When Nick offers to ask Jill to hear Sally and Chloe’s pitch, Sally declines – it’s not your responsibility to get me a job. Well, it was my father who threw a wrench into the whole thing, he stuns Sally.
Unbelievable, Sally’s pissed that Victor called Jill – what a jackass. Nick wants to make it right by asking Jill to give her and Chloe a shot. I’m going to be the mother of his next grandchild! Do it, she orders Nick to call Jill.
Chance learned to code in the military. The idea of it sounds refreshing to him.
Tucker gets a message from Ashley (don’t come to Paris) When Audra asks what’s wrong, she agrees that it’s none of her business (so sashays out)
