Audra: Hey, girl.
Sally: Hey, wow, you look fantastic.
Audra: Thank you.
Sally: No, seriously, amazing. That is definitely a date outfit, if I ever saw one.
Audra: Well, let’s just say I too have plans this evening.
Sally: I knew you’d work things out with tucker, and now you definitely look ready for a night out on the town.
Audra: Actually, you’re mistaken. I am going out to dinner with someone, just not with tucker.
Nate: Sorry to hear the board meeting didn’t turn out the way you hoped.
Lily: Well, we probably should’ve made sure we had the votes before we called the meeting.
Nate: There must be some way to check billy’s power within the company. You know what? I’m gonna brainstorm, and I will look into our legal options.
Lily: Well, no, no. I don’t wanna include lawyers yet, but I do wanna make sure we’ve explored all the possibilities.
Nate: All right. We will find a solution.
Lily: Thanks, nate. I’m glad I have your help.
Devon: Hey.
Lily: Hey. Uh, I just brought nate up to speed on our board meeting gone wrong.
Nate: Yes, it was, uh, it was a good idea. Too bad it didn’t, uh, pan out.
Devon: Yeah. Onwards and upwards, right?
Nate: Exactly. Oh, speaking of which, I need to head out.
Devon: Where you going?
Lily: You have plans?
Nate: Uh, I might as well tell you in case you hear it from someone else and it gets misconstrued.
Lily: Oh, god. What is it?
Nate: I’m taking audra out to dinner.
Lily: Ah, audra?
Devon: Audra, really? I thought tucker was with audra. Why you going out with her?
Kyle: So, that’s where we’re at. What do you say? Do we have a deal? That’s wonderful, mr. Foley. You won’t be disappointed. Good. Good. I’m glad you agree. Oh, no. No, no, no. Do not worry about my mother. She will understand. Thank you, sir. I’ll be in touch. Yes.
[ Doorbell rings ] Claire, come in. Come in. I’m glad you could make it.
Claire: I was surprised to get your message. I got worried. Is harrison okay?
Kyle: Yeah, harrison’s fine. And he’s gonna be even better going forward. Thanks to you.
Tucker: Yeah, and how does that help me? Listen, I pay you for information I don’t already know. I already know billy abbott is out of town. I need dirt on him, not flight information.
[ Diane sighs ] Would you care to dance?
Diane: Oh.
Tucker: Hi.
Diane: Go away.
Tucker: No, I just wanted to offer you my sincere congratulations.
Diane: I’m not interested.
Tucker: But there’s so much to celebrate, diane. You got this new, big promotion. Mrs. Co-ceo. All the exceptional work you’re doing at jabot. Brava. Really? Really. You’ve– you’ve conquered this town. Just as you’d hoped. When enamel is gone, you cannot get it back.
Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…
Kyle: I would like to officially offer you the position as harrison’s nanny.
Claire: Are you sure?
Kyle: Yeah, the hours are somewhat flexible since summer and I occasionally work from home. The pay is competitive.
Claire: My days are wide open right now, and I don’t pay rent, so money isn’t really an issue.
Kyle: And you’ll be taking care of the sweetest little boy in the universe.
Claire: That I know. He’s adorable. It would be great to have not just a job, but a purpose. You know, not just filing papers somewhere for a paycheck, but to help a kid to grow up and thrive.
Kyle: So, what do you say? Do we have a deal?
Claire: Absolutely. When do I start?
Kyle: Tomorrow, if you can. But if that’s too soon, then not a problem.
Claire: Tomorrow it is. Thank you, kyle. This really means the world to me.
Kyle: Yeah, we’re lucky to have you.
Claire: I have to thank summer, too. Honestly, I’m surprised and grateful that she changed her mind. Summer did change her mind, right?
Sally: You’re going out with someone else as in dating?
Audra: It’s just dinner.
Sally: Looking like that? You were literally just about to go to paris with tucker, and he proposed to you. You’re in love with him.
Audra: Or at least I thought I was.
Sally: So, now you’re just ready to move on?
Audra: Tucker and I have been on this rollercoaster ride. We fought and made up. We were aligned and then apart. Ups and downs, back and forth. And now, the ride is over. I am done.
Sally: Okay, yeah. I mean, I guess there’s no harm in a casual night out.
Audra: Exactly. You know, I just need a break. I want something uncomplicated. I just wanna have fun and enjoy myself and not stress about tucker’s ex or where we stand.
Sally: Yeah, that’s fair.
Audra: So, today it’s just dinner with nate.
Sally: Nate? You’re going to dinner with nate?
Audra: Uh…
Sally: Okay, um… I– I– I– sorry, I feel like I have to ask. Are you sure that you’re okay to do this? It’s not too fast?
Audra: Look, I am not wasting another moment thinking about tucker.
Sally: But what about your career and the company that you two were gonna run together?
Audra: Look, I don’t know what my next move is. I may still try and get a hold of glissade for myself. To snatch it away from tucker would serve him right.
Tucker: No, I’m in awe of you. Seriously.
Diane: Well, you should be. But coming from you, that’s an insult.
Tucker: It isn’T.
Diane: Hm.
Tucker: I love a good, long con. Oh, I beg your pardon. Um, a hard-fought battle. Right? Diane jenkins. The ultimate story of redemption. Of rebirth.
Diane: Are you done?
Tucker: What are you doing here by yourself?
Diane: Um, not that it’s any of your business, but I’m meeting a client who was supposed to be here by now.
Tucker: So, jabot seems like it’s in a good place right now.
Diane: Mm-hmm.
Tucker: The abbott king and queen reigning over their kingdom with their son, the heir apparent, doing their bidding by their side. It’s a nice, full family enterprise.
Diane: All right, just stop. Just stop. All this blowing smoke without an agenda is not your style. So, let me be clear, tucker. I will not divulge any information about my family or our business to you.
Tucker: Would you do me a little favor? Answer a simple question?
Diane: Just hurry up.
Tucker: Is there any chance that billy might leave chancellor-winters and return to jabot?
Nate: I’m not interfering in audra’s relationship with tucker, okay? This is dinner between two friends. Social, not professional.
Devon: Mm.
Lily: Hm.
Devon: I mean, I trust your intentions here.
Lily: Yeah, but audra’s a different story. I mean, she is very underhanded.
Nate: In certain circumstances. And trust I will not say a word about chancellor-winters or our current situation with billy. Nothing that could be used against us.
Lily: Yeah, I think discretion is best with her.
Nate: Point taken. And look, I am genuinely happy to be back here working with my family again, so I am not looking to mess that up.
Lily: Okay, good. Enjoy your dinner.
Devon: Yeah, have fun.
Nate: Thank you. You too. I will see you later.
Lily: Mm-hmm. Bye. Well, that’s a friendship I didn’t think would last.
Devon: Yeah, it seems harmless enough, unless tucker has an issue with it. ‘Cause that’s a problem nobody needs.
Lily: Yeah, we definitely have enough on our plate right now.
Devon: Yeah. Oh, there’s something that you need to know. Uh, phyllis no longer works for us.
Lily: What?
Devon: Yeah.
Lily: What happened?
Devon: I found out that she divulged information about billy’s new position to tucker. And I don’t know if she did it on purpose or not.
Lily: Oh, yeah. Well, that’s cause for immediate firing.
Devon: Yeah, she actually quit before I had a chance to fire her.
Lily: Oh, that’s better. I mean, if she left on her own, we don’t have to worry about the fallout. I mean, I didn’t think that she would stick around that long after daniel left anyway.
Devon: Yeah, but it’s not like it was some well thought out resignation either.
Lily: Well, what were she and tucker talking about billy for anyways?
Devon: Well, I went to tucker to find out what his original plan was with mamie to get a foothold in chancellor-winters. To see if there was any information that we could use.
Lily: Wait, you went to tucker for help?
Devon: Yeah.
Lily: Please tell me that we’re not in so much trouble that you need him to save us.
A year after
a heart attack,
Diane: So, why are you asking about billy? What’s that angle?
Tucker: Just wanna know his status.
Diane: Oh, wait. Is this about another takeover attempt? If so, which business this time? Is it chancellor-winters or jabot? ‘Cause it’s kind of hard to keep track.
Tucker: It’s nothing like that.
Diane: Then what is it?
Tucker: Just looking out for devon. Doing whatever I can to help him. You would do the same thing for kyle, I’m sure.
Diane: Kyle can take care of himself, but as far as I know, billy is content to work for his mother’s company.
Tucker: Hm. So, there’s no way he would come back to jabot?
Diane: Well, is there a problem with him staying at chancellor-winters? Is there an issue between him and devon?
Tucker: Why would you ask that?
Diane: Well, because you just said that… you know what, tucker? I can’t help you. In fact, I don’t wanna help you.
[ Cell phone rings ] Excuse me. Oh, hello, mr. Foley. I was– I was getting worried. Will I see you here? My son did what?
Kyle: Summer and I did have another discussion about hiring you.
Claire: A discussion isn’t an agreement. Summer still isn’t on board with the idea, is she?
Kyle: I made my case as to why you were the best choice for harrison’s nanny. Unfortunately, summer still has concerns.
Claire: Well, then that’s that. If summer doesn’t feel comfortable, she’s his mother. She should be at ease with whoever her son’s caretaker is.
Kyle: Listen, harrison has been having these nightmares ever since he was kidnapped. He still has this lingering fear, but he’s always worrying about you, that you may be having the same bad dreams.
Claire: Oh, that sweet kid.
Kyle: And harrison cares about you. He wants you to be okay.
Claire: I want the same for him.
Kyle: Right, and I feel like seeing you on a regular basis will help him. Make him realize that he can be happy after this whole ordeal. You know, that you’re both okay. That he can go back to being a kid and stop worrying.
Claire: I’d like to help him to feel safe again. Not just, you know, do the things that he likes, but to feel joy and to be silly and goofy.
Kyle: And he needs someone to do that with. You know, a pal, an explorer, a confidant. Someone like you.
Claire: I really appreciate the offer, kyle. And I would love to say yes. But summer has to feel safe. Her son was taken from her. She loves him and she wants to protect him. I can’t undermine that. So, unless summer changes her mind, I can’t say yes.
Kyle: Okay, I will work on summer. Claire, I just can’t go another day with harrison worrying. So, please reconsider. Harrison needs you.
Audra: Evening.
Nate: Why, you look stunning. I mean… you always do, but tonight. Wow, I’m sorry.
Audra: Thank you. Ooh, you ordered for me?
Nate: Uh, yes, I– I think I remember what you like.
Audra: You do. Nice job.
Nate: Thank you.
Audra: You know, I was pleasantly surprised you finally asked me to dinner.
Nate: Uh, it made sense since I wanted to see you.
Audra: Okay, be honest. Did you just not want me to go to paris with tucker? Were you looking to protect me again?
Nate: Uh, you don’t need protection, audra. But I, uh, wanted to check in with you more often. You know, be a better friend.
Audra: Um, you’re already a decent friend.
Nate: A decent isn’t a ringing endorsement, so I plan to work on that.
Audra: Oh, I’m okay with that.
Nate: You know, I’m curious. Um, what’s your current job status? Are you still gonna work with tucker at glissade?
Audra: I still haven’t decided yet.
Nate: Good. Take your time. Figure out what’s best.
Audra: Yeah, um, I’m sure we can find a topic that isn’t about my career plans.
Nate: Okay, understood. So, uh, what would you like to talk about? In the past, we discussed, uh, company takeover attempts. We tried to suss out each other’s ulterior motives.
Audra: Yeah, you’ve, uh, you’ve offered me warnings. Um, and I’ve pushed you to go further, to be more ruthless. Like me.
Nate: You know, uh, how about we ignore business altogether? Keep it purely personal.
Audra: Novel idea.
Nate: Hm. Well, a toast. Not to power or success, but to the ambiance.
Audra: Hm.
Nate: Food.
Audra: Yep.
Nate: And, uh, most importantly, the company.
Audra: Cheers.
Devon: Going to tucker was just a spur of the moment thing. And I realized right afterwards why I don’t go to him with my problems. So, I promise you, we’re gonna handle this crisis just like we have in the past. And we’ll do it without tucker’s help.
Lily: We don’t need any more complications. Especially with tucker.
Devon: I completely agree with you. Hi.
Lily: Oh, flowers?
Devon: Oh, flowers.
Lily: Wow.
Devon: Uh, here, wanna take these?
Lily: So pretty.
Devon: There you go. Thank you. Who sent flowers?
Lily: I don’t know. Oh, wait. They’re for both of us. That’s weird.
Devon: Who’s it from?
Lily: “I hear your little plan to box me out didn’t work. Looking forward to working together. Best, billy.”
Devon: Are you serious? How mature of the guy.
Lily: Oh, my god. I mean, we did go behind his back.
Devon: Who cares? They went behind ours first. And I’d do it again if it means getting rid of billy abbott.
[Coughing]
Lily: God, I mean, this is so obnoxious.
Devon: Well, yeah, tell me about it.
Lily: But we had every right to not loop him in. I mean, he’s around right now trying to gain power within our company offices.
Devon: Probably gathering forces to use against us.
Lily: God, I just– I feel so betrayed by jill. That she would make this decision unilaterally to hand over all of her power to billy. It’s like I feel like I can’t trust either of them anymore.
Devon: I know what you mean. I’m just glad that you feel the same way I do about billy being a threat to the company. I just wish this damn vote went our way.
Lily: Well, look, don’t be too upset with abby. I kind of get why she voted against us.
Devon: Well, I’m not upset. I’m just disappointed in the whole thing.
Lily: What do you mean? You regret putting abby on the board?
Audra: Okay, so boarding school in england and then medical school at johns hopkins. Uh, fancy, fancy.
Nate: All right. You wanna continue to go through my resume. Go ahead. Make fun.
Audra: Oh, I’m not, much. Uh, did you do any traveling while you were abroad?
Nate: Uh, some. I ran around on the weekends. Uh, I also swam as a kid, so that kept me busy.
Audra: Competitive swimming?
Nate: Of course. What’s life without competition, audra?
Audra: You know, growing up, I actually did some dance competitions.
Nate: No, you did not.
Audra: Yes, I did.
Nate: What was your specialty?
Audra: Well, you know, I’m good at everything, um… but specifically, lyrical.
Nate: Lyrical? Okay, what’s that?
Audra: Uh, flowing movements, expressive, emotional storytelling. Which I later channeled into my focus on visual art.
Nate: Wow.
Audra: Are you impressed?
Nate: Very. I hadn’t realized how many hidden talents you have.
Audra: Oh, we’ve barely scratched the surface.
Tucker: Sorry to interrupt. Um…
Audra: Um, I’m busy, obviously.
Tucker: I know. Can we go somewhere to talk privately?
Audra: Look, I already said everything that I needed to say to you. Uh, and I’m busy.
Tucker: You obviously did not go to paris without me, and that has to mean something.
Audra: Yeah, it means that I– I wanted to stay to have dinner in genoa city. We already said everything there is to say and I made myself clear.
Tucker: No, please, can we go somewhere and talk?
Audra: This has been so lovely. Will you accompany me back to the athletic club for a drink?
Nate: Don’t mind if I do.
Audra: Let’s go.
[ Knock on door ]
Summer: I guess I should congratulate you on your new job. Good for you.
Claire: I didn’t accept the position.
Summer: Then, what are you doing here?
Claire: I was hoping to discuss with you why I said no, if you’ll listen.
[ Summer sighs ]
Summer: If we’re gonna have this conversation, then I’m gonna need a drink.
Diane: There you are. Are you having a drink to celebrate humiliating your mother?
Kyle: Hm. There’s was no humiliation, mom.
Diane: Oh, I beg to differ. I had a meeting tonight with jasper foley to discuss a licensing agreement.
Kyle: Yeah, I’m aware.
Diane: Oh, really? Well, are you aware that I was waiting for him at the club when he called to cancel because apparently my son had already sealed the deal?
Kyle: That is correct. I pulled off an impressive coup for jabot and I saved you from a boring dinner with an entitled eccentric.
Diane: Oh, no, no, no. I don’t need saving from a business client, kyle. Who I need saving from is you. I’m jonathan lawson,
Announcer: The young and the restless will continue…
Summer: Okay. Go ahead. Say your piece.
Claire: I saw kyle earlier, and he offered me the position as harrison’s nanny. Of course, when he did that, I assumed you were on board.
Summer: Yeah, I’m not.
Claire: And he admitted that eventually. I really wanted to accept, but I couldn’t, knowing that you didn’t approve.
Summer: You turned the job down because of me?
Claire: How could I not? You’ve been through enough already. It must’ve been absolute hell for you when jordan took harrison.
Summer: You have no idea.
Claire: I know that I’ve caused you pain with the trauma that I inflicted on your family, and now I’m a reminder of harrison’s abduction. I don’t wanna make things harder for you than my presence already has.
Summer: I appreciate that.
Claire: I do feel lucky to know harrison. He’s adorable and he’s so kind. And I’m really grateful that he doesn’t seem to blame me for the trauma he’s experienced. He sees me as an ally. We’re the two heroes who survived the wicked witch.
Summer: Look, I– I know that harrison likes you, but it doesn’t mean that it’s healthy for him to be around you.
Claire: You’re his mother. It’s your call. I just wanted you to know that it would be more than a job to me. I care about harrison. I would like to be there for him if I can. Be a part of his support system. But only if you approve.
Tucker: Hi, sally.
Sally: Hi.
Tucker: Um… do you have a minute?
Sally: You know, I actually don’t think I do.
Tucker: That’s too bad. I could use some advice right now.
Sally: We don’t really know each other that well.
Tucker: Yeah, that’s true.
Sally: Yeah.
Tucker: But you know audra. You guys are friends. I– I was hoping you could help me with that.
Sally: I’m not gonna betray audra’s confidence, if that’s what you’re asking.
Tucker: No, no, no. I just would like to hear that I haven’t blown things completely with her.
Sally: I don’t think you have.
Tucker: Yeah. I don’t know how much she’s told you, but the circumstances seem to have conspired against us recently and I don’t blame her at all for being upset about it. I’m not happy about it either. But now, I don’t know if there’s something going on with her and nate.
Sally: It– it– it’s just dinner. I really don’t think you can make too much out of it.
Tucker: Well, if she’s doing it to make me jealous, she’s succeeding. I love her. Am I losing her?
Sally: I think there’s hope for the two of you. But you have to make a change. If you don’t wanna lose audra, you have to get your act together.
Audra: I’m sorry to cut our dinner short.
Nate: No, no. No apology necessary. At least, not from you. Tucker has never known when to back down.
Audra: I still appreciate your understanding. You’ve been very patient.
Nate: Have I?
Audra: Yeah, I– I finally realized your warnings about tucker were valid. Took me long enough.
Nate: Well, it’s better late than never.
Audra: I’m not gonna let him take advantage of me anymore. I am ready to let him go.
Nate: I’m happy to hear that. For your sake. Well, um, tonight was fun. Let’s do it again sometime soon.
Audra: Yeah, I agree. But, we don’t have to end it here. Not when we were having so much fun.
Nate: Okay, uh, what do you suggest?
Audra: Well, we did come back here for a nightcap. Why not up in my suite?
Devon: No, I don’t regret putting abby on the board at all. I respect her and her business sense. I just wish I had a conversation with her beforehand.
Lily: Yeah, that would’ve been smart.
Devon: Yeah, probably. But, I will not be making that mistake again. I will not be surprising you or her with crucial decisions. We all have to be on the same page.
Lily: Yeah, I agree. Uh, did abby tell you that she revealed her board vote about daniel’s case to him?
Devon: She did. And we had a conversation and i told her that any and all information from board meetings stays private.
Lily: Okay.
Devon: It does.
Lily: Well, in the spirit of full disclosure, I’m rethinking daniel’s lawsuit and I wanna try to find some middle ground with him.
Devon: Really? Well, that’s your choice to make.
Lily: Yeah, but this mess with billy takes precedence.
Devon: I agree. And the way I see it, we have two options. We can either force him out or we can do together what I was trying to do on my own back when we were talking about the ipo.
Lily: You mean take winters back from chancellor-winters?
Devon: Exactly what I mean. We kill the merger and you and I leave chancellor behind. Sfx: [Birds chirping]
Kyle: Please, don’t overreact.
Diane: Oh, I think my reaction is perfectly reasonable. You hung me out to dry. I sat in the lounge waiting for a business client that you knew was never going to show!
Kyle: Oh, that wasn’t supposed to happen. Foley was supposed to cancel, tell you sooner. Mom, I’m sorry about that.
Diane: And– and that’s what you’re sorry about? Not about the fact that once again you went behind my back?
Kyle: The deal’s made. Who cares how it went down? And when dad gets home, you can go ahead and take credit for it.
Diane: Kyle, I don’t wanna take credit for something I didn’t do and I would never tell your father that I did.
Kyle: So, what do you want from me?
Diane: I want you to tell me why you keep doing this. Why you keep taking steps to sabotage me and then act like nothing’s happened.
Kyle: It’s not my fault how things went down. Okay. Truth is, foley came to me. He wanted to make a deal, but he didn’t think you had the chops to negotiate it.
Diane: Oh, please. He didn’t think so? Or you didn’t?
Summer: I respect that you care about harrison. And of course, I want my son to feel safe and reassured. I’m just not okay with it being because of you.
Claire: Is there anything I can say to change your mind?
Summer: I don’t think so. I understand that everyone else is ready to let go of all of the horrible things that you did to them, but I can’T.
Claire: It’s part of the reason why I want this job. To do something good, to make up for all of the bad.
Summer: Claire, you lied to my family. For months, you pretended to be someone else. You tricked my grandma. You held her hostage. You destroyed her sobriety. You poisoned my dad and my grandpa. People could’ve died because of you.
Claire: I can’t deny my part in any of that.
Summer: What would you do if you were in my position? Would you allow your child to be in the care of someone who’s done all of the things that you have?
Claire: I don’t know. But I do know I’m a different person now. I’m so much better. I’m not a threat to harrison or to you. Or to anyone else.
Summer: I’m sorry. I just don’t believe that.
Lily: You know, back when chancellor was my sole responsibility, I really believed in this partnership. And I fought really hard to keep it on track.
Devon: Yeah? How you feel now?
Lily: Now? I don’t know. I kind of regret it. Especially now that jill has pulled the rug out from underneath us with this whole billy thing.
Devon: Yeah, but you know you can’t blame yourself ’cause we never could’ve seen this coming.
Lily: I mean, how do we fix this?
Devon: We get out. We take mamie’s suggestion and we split the company in two. Billy even supported that idea. And that way he can go and run chancellor exactly the way he wants it and you and I can run winters together.
Lily: No, it’s not gonna be that easy. Jill really believes in keeping this merger in place and billy is gonna follow suit.
Devon: Okay, well then we force his hand and convince him otherwise.
Lily: Actually, we may not have to force his hand if we have the right incentive.
Audra: Salud. Mm.
Nate: Mm. It’s very nice.
Audra: Glad you like it. It’s tucker’S. The most expensive one.
Nate: Hm. Good choice.
Audra: You know, I was gonna pour it down the drain out of spite, but this is much better.
Nate: You know, I don’t, uh, I don’t think tucker would like this.
Audra: What?
Nate: Uh, me drinking his scotch. Being here with you.
Audra: Yeah, no, he– he wouldn’t like it at all. And I don’t care.
Nate: Hm. Maybe we should stop talking about tucker.
Audra: Yes, please. Let’S…
[ Knock on door ]
Tucker: Audra?
Audra: Are you– please, do the honors.
[ Knock on door ] Audra, please open up. So, I didn’t think I needed swiffer.
Lily: There’s another reason we need to fight billy and jill on this.
Devon: What’s the reason?
Lily: Billy tried to persuade me to push you down to a secondary role so that he and I could run the company together.
Devon: All right, why didn’t you tell me about that?
Lily: Because it was outrageous and I wasn’t gonna agree to it. And I didn’t wanna create drama, but I mean, that’s happened anyway.
Devon: Did you consider it?
Lily: No.
Devon: No?
Lily: No, no, no. I mean, I thought it was ridiculous.
Devon: I bet, ’cause it sounds insane.
Lily: But there might be a way we can use this idea to our advantage now.
Devon: How?
Lily: Well, what if I go to billy and I tell him I changed my mind and that I will join him, but with one condition. That we let the winters side go.
Devon: And you think that would work? That they would let go of winters to keep you at chancellor?
Lily: Yeah. I mean, jill would want me around because she knows that billy’s a wild card and that I can help balance him out. Billy would want me there because he doesn’t wanna handle the day-to-day things. It’s a perfect trade for both of them.
Devon: Hm. And then I guess billy can do whatever he wants with the company.
Lily: Yeah, and then you have the winters side and you’re in charge.
Devon: And then what happens after we pull that off? You gonna ditch them and you and nate are gonna come work with me?
Lily: Yeah, and leave jill and billy to their own devices. And then we can have our family company.
Devon: I mean, yeah, that could work.
[ Lily laughs ]
Lily: Oh, my god. Isn’t it funny how we’ve come full circle to mamie’s idea? Maybe we should offer her a role at our true family company.
Devon: Mm, yeah, we can think about it after we succeed. But there’s no guarantees.
Kyle: It’s not my fault people are aware you don’t have a business degree and little to no experience in the industry.
Diane: Oh, but I do have experience. In fact, I have many, many more years of experience as a working professional than you do. Plus, I have jack abbott’s complete support and confidence which matters very much in the business community.
Kyle: Okay, I don’t wanna argue. It’s not my fault what the corporate world thinks of you.
Diane: Yeah, but you don’t support me or defend me. You just try to– try to undermine me.
Kyle: Oh, that’s ironic coming from you.
Diane: What does that mean?
Kyle: You always try to keep me down. Aim to knock me down a peg or two. Make sure I never have enough autonomy or power. Isn’t that what you’re really after, mom?
Diane: How can you say that? I have been your biggest champion at jabot. I even tried to step down so that you could become co-ceo again, so don’t you dare. No, don’t you dare try to turn this around on me. We both know what’s happening here, kyle. And I love you, but it has to stop.
Kyle: Whatever you say.
Diane: Oh. [ Laughs ] Oh, and another thing, do not finalize the foley deal. Consider that a direct order from your superior.
Kyle: Love you too, mom. Marjorie. Hi. Just wanna make sure you saw the foley deal come through. Please draw up those papers first thing in the morning. It’s a done deal and it’s going through.
Tucker: Audra, what are you doing? What’s he doing here?
Nate: I was invited. How about you?
Tucker: Hey. We need to talk.
Nate: I think she’s made it pretty clear she has no interest in speaking to you, tucker.
