Audra arranged a romantic dinner for Nate before breaking the news that she’d accepted a job with Victor. Nate demanded to know what Victor wanted from Audra, who insisted that she could hold her own. Lily invited Damian to earn her trust by telling her about Aristotle Dumas. Damian shared that he’d sought out Dumas and lied about his credentials to get a job. Damian admitted that he’d never met his boss in person, but Dumas didn’t exist. Lily asked Damian to help her protect her family company from Dumas. Devon questioned whether Lily had changed her mind about Damian being untrustworthy. Abby urged Devon to support Lily’s quest to get information out of Damian. Amy assured Lily that Damian was a good man. Jack and Kyle offered Mathison double what Victor had paid him to serve as a double agent. Michael informed Victor that Mathison had gone radio silent. When Kyle was late for a date, Claire told Holden about her troubled history over a friendly drink. Kyle bristled when he found Claire and Holden together. Audra warned Kyle that he was about to get some competition. Claire objected when Kyle clammed up about work again, so he informed her about Victor planting a mole at Jabot. Diane complained to Jack that she felt like an outsider in his family. Jack taunted Victor by crowing about how great things were going for the Abbotts. Diane confronted Michael about working with Victor to hire spies at Jabot. Michael swore that he was serving as a guardrail to keep things from getting out of control. Diane vowed to stop Victor and hoped Michael would make the right choice if forced to choose between the Abbotts and the Newmans. Michael implored Victor to remove the spies from Jabot, but Victor refused to back down. Victor warned Nikki that Dumas might be gunning for Chancellor. Sharon and Phyllis assured Traci that she wasn’t responsible for Martin’s actions. Traci decided to leave Genoa City to return to New York and throw herself into writing a new book. Phyllis grappled with why Martin had chosen her and Sharon to victimize. Victoria suspected Nick was headed toward a reunion with Sharon, but Nick swore he wasn’t planning to get back together with any of his exes. Sharon and Nick left for London to visit Noah.
