After Jack told him how brilliantly he got rid of the moles Victor planted at Jabot (an act that happened completely offscreen, so we’ll have to take Jack’s word for it), Kyle announced that he had an equally brilliant plan to pump Audra about her connection to Victor and their plan to take down the Abbotts.

June told Naomi she didn’t know who the kids were in the mysterious photo she left behind. Leslie flitted to Bill’s law office to confront the man who helped Ted run her out of town. He sent her a cease and desist order, basically saying to keep his name out of her mouth. She barely acknowledged her daughter’s birthday, and she went head-to-head with Kat, who was fierce as usual.
