Victor says to tell Tucker it’s inevitable and he’ll fold.

Victor asks how Victoria is handling it. He wants her to remember how important family is, and how important it is to maintain a connection.
Victoria says it sounds like he’s talking about Adam.
She goes on to say that Victor has to be realistic about bringing Adam back, there’s no place for him other than a CEO position, or he’d be insulted.
Victor says that she hasn’t put it together, he wants Adam to run Tucker’s company when they take it over.
Victoria says she can’t believe that she didn’t see it coming. She should have known. She asks if Adam will report to her or if will he be in a separate division.

Society
Audra comes into the restaurant, and Tucker comes in behind her.
Tucker asks if she’s waiting for someone.
Audra says that Brad Pitt can’t make it, so he’ll have to do.
They talk about how it feels nice, two “friends” having dinner together.
Audra says it’s what normal people would do.
Tucker says she looks beautiful, and that he always finds their interactions stimulating. He says that he’s suspicious of her motives.
Audra asks if she needs to have a motive to have dinner with him.
Tucker says that she asked about his debt and that Newman Enterprises would be interested in that, so he wonders if this meeting is about gathering information for them.
Tucker asks if she’s there to get info for the Newmans.
She says that he’s getting to the point before they have a drink.
Vino veritas and all that he says. He says he’ll be respectful.
He says he wouldn’t put up a facade, and if she’s working for the Newmans, he respects that.
Audra wonders if he’d be hurt if she tried to put one over on him.
He says that he’d be disappointed, but wants honesty.
Audra says that there’s nothing but the truth between them. She says she’ll be straight with him, and that the Newmans know about his debt and want to buy it out.
Tucker says that he’s not surprised, since he figures someone would want to come after him, that they weren’t happy just scooping up Omega Sphere.
He says it’s very “Victor”.
Audra says there’s no dissension amongst the ranks at the Newmans.
Tucker asks how long he has.
Audra says she doesn’t know, but she figures it’ll be soon.
He wonders why she’s telling him… Is she an agent of chaos?
She says that she’ll let him think whatever he wants.
Tucker says he’d do the same, but he’s a little annoyed about it.
Audra asks him what he’s going to do about the Newmans’ plans.
Tucker says he can’t say.
Audra says they’re supposed to be honest with each other. She says, “I scratch your back… And you scratch mine.”
Tucker says it’s supposed to be a platonic dinner, but that sounds like more fun. He says they can be platonic upstairs in his hotel room.
She says, “We’re friends without benefits.”
He laughs and whispers that he thought that was just lip service.
She gets up, and he says that he thinks she’s playing him.
She asks how he likes that.
He says he’s so turned on.
Audra says thanks for dinner.
He says, “Until we meet again!”
He kisses her cheek.

Kyle says that Summer was talking about Diane.
She says that she didn’t want any lies in their relationship. He’s being like his mom.

He says he thought he was doing the right thing.
She says that he knew it was wrong, and he wanted to do it anyway.
Kyle says that he hates that he hurt her, but working with Victor was a business move.

Kyle says they can get past it, that he’ll be better.
Summer says that she needs to think about things and that it’s going to take some time. She needs to work through it alone.

She says that’ll happen when hell freezes over. She grabs her purse and leaves Jack fuming.
