Newman Enterprises
Audra is back from Paris and tells Victor she has lots of updates for him. She’s surprised Victor wants to meet at his office and assumes his part in Glissade is still to be kept a secret, to which Victor agrees. Audra believes it will be helpful for her to know the cover story for her being at Newman Enterprises.
Victor instructs Audra to tell people Victor wants to know why her partnership with Kyle at Glissade prompted Summer to sue for sole custody of Harrison.
Audra acknowledges that is a plausible cover. Victor insists it’s more and wants an answer.
Kyle enters the office and has the same question.
Society
Summer meets with Phyllis and needs her support. Phyllis agrees and asks for an update with details.
Summer tells Phyllis that Chance calmed her down, but Phyllis thinks Summer is not in a calm space. Summer says she somehow trusts Kyle less now.
Summer explains how Victor spoke with Kyle and felt he got through to him. Kyle was willing to negotiate, and Summer thinks she had the upper hand.
Phyllis points out that it’s odd that Victor can order Kyle. She asks Summer if Kyle offered a compromise, and Summer says Kyle offered to keep their joint custody as is.
Phyllis says Kyle has put Summer through so much lately.
Summer thanks her for understanding. She says she told Kyle he must cut Audra out of his life.

Newman Enterprises
Audra is insulted by Kyle’s unflattering “welcome home.
Kyle urges Audra to answer the question.
Audra respectfully informs Victor and Kyle she has no idea what they are referring to. She tells the gentlemen she’s done nothing and has barely seen Summer because she’s been working in Paris. She asks Kyle why Summer would mention her in his custody disagreement.
Kyle says Summer feels Audra is a danger to everyone.
Audra finds it laughable that she is a danger to a child she has never met. Kyle notes her reputation, and Audra instructs Kyle to sort out his family drama and leave her out.
Victor wants assurance that Audra has done nothing to provoke Summer. Audra agrees there isn’t anything besides what he already knows. Victor calls a halt and demands they get to work.
Audra can’t wait to fill Victor in on her productive trip.
Kyle feels slighted because Audra didn’t know he would be there.

Connor is tired and wants to go home.
Adam tells Connor and Chelsea he will go with them, but Connor insists Adam doesn’t need to come with them. Adam asks Connor to humor him.
Chelsea and Adam leave with Connor and don’t show any affection towards their partners. Billy and Sally agree they heard the same thing.
Sally thinks BIlly may be right about something between Adam and Chelsea.
Society
Phyllis is proud of Summer for sticking up for herself. She wonders if Summer was bluffing to Kyle about disassociating himself from Audra.
Summer insists she wasn’t.
Phyllis agrees it would be ideal if Kyle cut himself off from Audra but informs Summer that’s not realistic. She points out that Kyle has cut all ties at Jabot and it won’t be easy for him to leave Glissade.
Summer’s solution is for Kyle to force Audra out of the company.
Phyllis says that won’t be easy because Audra is the one who brought Kyle in.
Summer claims that is Kyle’s problem to solve.
Phyllis continues to listen and wants to know how Kyle responded and finds his tantrum a bit extreme. She wonders if Summer believes Kyle and Audra are having a personal relationship.
Summer doesn’t know if they are and wants to know why that matters.
Phyllis says she wants to figure out whether this is about Harrison or about Kyle moving on with someone else.

Victor stops their bickering and demands to hear an update.
Kyle and Audra compete to take credit for the work, and Victor orders them to prepare the launch party.
Audra wants to make a big splash. Kyle disagrees and doesn’t want flashy. Audra says being the opposite of Jabot is best. Kyle doesn’t want to appear immature. Audra claims Glissade isn’t a tool Kyle can use to stick it to his parents.
Victor interrupts them again and orders them to figure out their differences or face the consequences.

Adam tries to calm her down as her breathing rate escalates. He says they can’t make a mistake now.
Chelsea says Billy and Sally are already there; she has to say something to Billy because he won’t drop this now… She doesn’t think she can do this anymore.
Society
Summer tells her mom she is concerned for Harrison.
Phyllis insists she is not judging Summer and that jealousy is no big deal.
Summer can’t believe her mom is insinuating she is jealous of Audra.
Phyllis does damage control. She knows Summer doesn’t want Kyle back, and she’s happy about that.
Summer thinks they’ve gotten off track. She wouldn’t be thrilled to see Kyle with someone, but it wouldn’t kill her. She insists she’s not trying to get Kyle back.
Phyllis has done things in her past that hurt people she loved and doesn’t want to see Summer do the same.
