Summer comes into the lobby and sees Adam listening at the door. She asks him what he thinks he’s doing.
Adam says he’s obviously eavesdropping.

In the office, Jack asks what exactly Kyle did with Victor.

He says she overreacted earlier and that he was in a bad mood. He says that even though there’s friction between them, they can still be friendly.
She says he’s facing rejection again and they’ve gone separate ways, but there’s no need for animosity. Maybe they can be friends without benefits.

She says lunch, dinners, coffee… Doesn’t he have any friends? She laughs and says, “Oh. Guess not.”
She says that a platonic dinner between friends would be nice.

She says that she went and saw Lucy and Heather.
He stops, surprised that she saw them. He asks her to tell him what happened.

Phyllis says he’s right, it wasn’t a success. She just wanted to help.
Daniel says maybe she did want to help, but she never does help.

Daniel says she’s infuriating.
Phyllis says that they should table it before they say something they both regret.

He says when he said to stay out of his business, he means his actual business.
She asks if he’s really firing her, and he says yes, consider this your final termination notice. He storms out.
Jabot Cosmetics
Jack says that they’re in the middle of a conversation.
Adam says that he knows, but they should be thanking Victor and Kyle instead.
Summer goes to say something, and Kyle says that he’ll talk with Summer about it later.
Summer says that Kyle sold out to Victor in exchange for textile mills.
Jack says, “You sold me out for that?” He tells Kyle to tell him what Victor’s next moves will be.
Kyle says that Victor probably doesn’t have anything planned and that if he has anything up his sleeves, he didn’t tell him.
Jack says he knows Victor and he can’t be trusted.
Kyle says he’d protect Jabot no matter what.
Adam says hopefully he’ll make things a bit less stressful by what he’s about to say.
Adam goes on to say that Kyle was just looking out for Jabot and that he knows that his work went to hell, he’s lost drive and focus for a while as co-CEO of Jabot.
Jack says he appreciates his honesty, but he’d like to put the setbacks behind him so that he can make adjustments and get Adam back into the swing of things.
Adam says he’s thought about it, and he doesn’t think things will change, so he has an announcement to make.
He says that he wants to thank them for everything, but his work didn’t measure up, so Jack can fire him, or he’ll resign. Either way, he’s leaving Jabot.
