Recap written by Barbara

Noah joins Audra at the GCAC bar, where they reminisce about their time together in London and chat. Things are very friendly and light between them, until she mentions that she just got her dream job and is now working for Spectra-Charles Media. Noah is appalled because this company is the re-branded Newman Media, which Billy Abbott stole from his uncle, Adam. Noah is incredulous and asks Audra how she is okay working for an illegally-obtained company.

Kyle saunters up to the bar and joins their conversation, curious to hear Audra’s answer to Noah’s question. Audra says that she has not broken any laws because she was not involved in what happened to Newman Media. She explains that Billy struck some deal with Phyllis to get Newman Media and Chancellor, and then he had her fold Newman Media into Abbott Communications. He then moved to Chancellor and gave it to Sally. Kyle sides with Audra, indicating that he’s “good” with Victor and the Newman family losing their company, given the bad history between his family and Victor, and how Victor has threatened or hurt half the town. Kyle also indicates that he’s okay with Adam losing Newman Media and the loss of the Newman legacy. He laughingly says that Nikki can sell some jewelry and the Newmans will be “dandy.”

Chelsea runs into Sally at Crimson Lights, where they argue about Billy teaming up with Phyllis. Chelsea tries in vain to persuade Sally to side with her, to protect Billy and get him to do the right thing – returning the company to the Newman family. She’s concerned about Victor and Adam seeking revenge on Billy. Sally mentions that she broke up with Billy and re-branded the company to Spectra-Charles Media. She refuses to help Chelsea and walks out on her.

Nick and Victoria are at the Newman Ranch, discussing Phyllis’s takeover of Newman Enterprises. Victoria presents her plan to get Newman Enterprises back, telling Nick she is going to Milan soon to talk face-to-face with Summer, to get her to turn her back on Phyllis. She hopes this is a way to get Phyllis to ultimately cave and give the company back to Victor and the family. Nick is against Victoria’s plan because he believes that Victor will prevail, and he does not want his daughter being involved in the family conflict and becoming alienated from her mother. He declines Victoria’s request for him to come with her to Milan to talk to Summer. He instead persuades her to hold off for the night, so he can try to come up with another solution that would protect Summer and keep her out of the line of fire.
