Lily delivers news of Damian’s death to Holden

At Cane’s hotel suite, Lily is surprised when Holden arrives unexpectedly. He claims he is there to see Aristotle Dumas about a business opportunity, but Lily informs him that Cane is Dumas. Pretending not to know Cane, Holden hides their past connection.

As their conversation shifts, Lily reveals that Damian was murdered in Nice, shocking Holden. He becomes emotional, asking questions about the circumstances, while Lily warns him not to trust Cane. Despite her caution, Holden keeps his own secrets, maintaining his deception about his history with her ex-husband.

Though she does not believe Kyle has real feelings for Audra, Claire dislikes the version of him that emerges around her. With Cole unavailable for advice, Victoria offers guidance, encouraging her daughter to consider what her father might have told her.

Claire leans toward giving Kyle the benefit of the doubt until she arrives at Society and sees him kissing Audra. The sight leaves Claire floored, setting the stage for more conflict in her relationship.

Audra pushes Kyle’s buttons in public

The public display stuns Claire, while Nate is also at the restaurant and could witness the exchange. Audra’s actions threaten multiple relationships, potentially impacting her standing with both Nate and Kyle.
