Meeting at CL’s, Claire surprises Kyle with a gift and an apology, for the way her grandfather treated him.
Victor’s summoned Lily to the ranch to deliver his report on Damian Kane. He’s a mysterious and interesting chap who had a meteoric rise in the corporate world.
Nate hopes Damian staying in town means he’s changed his mind on his mother (and him) Where would you like to start? Amy looks nervous when Damien asks to talk to her – alone.
Take all the time you need – call if you need anything, Nate would also like a chat with Damian before he leaves. You’re next on my list, Damian’s left to ask his mother – what do you expect/want from me?
Kyle opens his ‘genius’ and ‘symbolic’ gift – noise cancelling earbuds (so he can tune our Victor) Actually, last night was a lot more civil than Kyle expected.
Hoping his information will ease the tension between them, Victor tells Lily that Damian didn’t start Monte Cristo or Danglars – he bought them. With what means? she asks. That’s the mystery, Victor answers.
Your answer could decide everything going forward, Damian believes Amy wants more than forgiveness, to make amends before she dies and for him to get to know his brother. He believes she wants him to hold her hand as she dies.
Victor continues – the real owner of Damian’s companies is Aristotle Dumar. He’s the mysterious and successful owner of Arabesque. Is this about business? He wonders what Lily’s getting herself into.
Amy wouldn’t be so selfish as to ask that of Damian. So if I forgave you that would be enough for you? How would you know if I was faking it? You don’t know me. When you have kids you’ll understand – Amy will see the truth in his eyes – can you find it in your heart to forgive me? What did I do that was so wrong? I need to know. You let my father die – now you’ve taken him away from me all over again – THAT’S why.
Kyle knows that Victor will continue to scheme and connive until he exhausts Claire to the point that she’ll throw up your hands and give up on their relationship.
Please say something, Kyle implores. Surprised that he would think she’d give up on their relationship, Claire assures that won’t happen – I grew up being controlled. I’m not going anywhere. Kyle believes her – Victor can only break us up if we allow him to. Neither will give him that satisfaction ~kiss~
