At the penthouse, Audra puts champagne on ice as she recalls Victor’s orders to lure Kyle back into an affair. She picks up a picture of her and Nate and sighs.
She debates with herself about whether Victor will double-cross her again. Audra wonders why everything always has to be so hard for her.
She sends Sally a text, saying he’s having second thoughts about this. The only thing that gives her an edge is that Victor has something only she can give him.
This could be her last shot at running a company so why does she still have doubts. She decides not to send this message and tells herself it will all be okay.
Holden joins Nate at the bar in the GCAC. Nate is surprised that he’s still in town. Holden is getting used to it.
He’s surprised Nate is there alone instead of at home with Audra. Nate doesn’t know why he cares.
“Envy maybe,” Holden says, going on about how great Audra is. He thinks anyone would be lucky to have her, even professionally.
He hopes she has better lucky holding onto Audra than he did. He regrets not trying to convince her to stay in LA.
Audra calls Nate to say his surprise is ready for him so he can come home.
Before Nate goes, he tells Holden he was only there because Audra was preparing a surprise for him.
Holden says he knows Audra pretty well and urges him not to blow it with her like he did. Nate wonders if he’s trying to make a point.
He suspects he’s trying to draw some battle line, like they are rival for Audra. Does he need to worry about him crossing a line?
Nate makes it clear he doesn’t care what kind of relationship he had with Audra. Holden claims he was just trying to be friendly and she’s the only thing they have in common.
Nate thinks that’s an unusual choice and reminds him Damian is his brother. They could talk about him.
Holden gets the hint and tells him he’s happy Audra found someone who “seems” to make her happy.
Once Nate exits, Devon comes in, chatting to Abby on the phone and she and Dom board their flight.
He sits at the bar and Holden tells him Nate just left. Devon jokes that he and Damian seem to have pitched a tent there.
He points out they keep threatening to leave and don’t. Devon wonders how Dumas feels about that.
Holden says he wouldn’t know. He makes it clear he doesn’t keep tabs on Damian and suggests he could be out on a date with Lily.
Devon doesn’t know where he’s getting his information from but they aren’t dating.
Holden says Devon is “kind of a prickly guy” and tells him to relax.
Devon insists Damian doesn’t have a shot with his sister. “If you say so,” says Holden. But Damian doesn’t shy away from going after what he wants.
Once Devon is gone, Holden flashes back to Audra telling him she is willing to be his friend but doesn’t trust him.
Back at the penthouse, Audra continues mulling over the deal she made with Victor and tells herself she can go this.
When Nate arrives, she greets him with a kiss and he says she’s looking amazing. All the candles are nice too.
She wanted to pamper him since he’s always treating her like a princess.
As she pours champagne, she explains Amy is out with Traci for a few hours. They toast and chat about his day.
After taking a long drink, she admits tonight is about something big and exciting.
She explains she finally landed a job. He’s thrilled for her and gives her a hug. He never had any doubts.
It was killing her to have so many doors slammed in her face. She was starting to worry she’s not as good as she thinks she is.
When he asks who had the good sense to hire her, she pulls him up and gets him to dance, leaning into his should and looking anxious.
Nate asks if she’s planning to keep the surprise about her job secret until after they eat.
They go upstairs for sex. When they come down, he wants to know what her job is.
She tells him she forced Victor to make amends for what he did to her and he agreed to fund a new venture for her. She will be her own boss, calling the shots. Can’t he be happy for?
“I’m sorry. I can’t,” he says.

Lily joins Damian for a drink at Society. He tells her he’s an open book and ready for all her questions. Those questions are mostly about his boss.
He says that’s pretty complicated but he agrees to tell her everything if she will give her word that this conversation stays between them.
He’s confident that he can look her in her beautiful eyes and know whether she is telling the truth.
His lines make her laugh and she tells him he needs to bring his game up.
Looking him in the eye, she promises to keep this conversation secret. He agrees to talk, but not there.
They go up to the lookout in the park and she wonders why he’s now willing to talk about his boss.
He tells her that all the recent upheaval in his life has him thinking about family more than business. Plus, he likes Lily and wants to be on her good side.
She admits she has her guard up because people have burned her. He explains that if telling her what he knows about Dumas helps them get closer, it’s worth it.
He starts by explaining that Dumas doesn’t exist. That’s no surprise to her. She assumes Dumas was a pseudonym.
Damian explains they’ve never met face to face. For all he knows, he could have talked to a go-between.
She asks how he got on Dumas’ radar. He had no real business experience. Damian admits Dumas was on his radar.
Dumas came out of nowhere. He had no past but was an instant legend. Damian wanted a piece of that so he invented a bogus backstory and a few weeks later, heard from Dumas.
He pitched himself and lied about all his credentials. Dumas likely knew he was lying immediately but seemed impressed anyway.
Dumas needed to pretend to unload two companies so Damian became the figurehead for them.
That all sounds shady to her. “If he was the devil, I was ready to dance,” Damian says.
Lily doesn’t understand any of this and he has no answers. He took the job because it was a ticket to a better life.
He created a whole new identity so he could make a better life and make his dad proud.
She appreciates him telling her all this. He asks why she cares so much about this.
He tells her that Dumas approached her ex and Victor has suggested that he’s sniffing around her company.
Laughing, Damian says he never expected she lured him out because she wanted his help. “Will you help me?” she asks.
