Meanwhile, in the jazz lounge on The Young and the Restless, Audra pitched a fake rivalry between her startup and Jabot to get media attention. She suggested leaks and drama to stir interest. Kyle liked the idea but wondered who really benefited. Audra said both sides could win, pointing to a past PR win when Kyle’s wardrobe mishap went viral. He seemed interested.
Holden pokes the bear, and Claire gets defensive
Upstairs, Holden kept pushing. He asked if Kyle and Audra had more than just a work history. Claire looked uncomfortable and tried to defend Kyle and her grandfather. She ignored Holden’s hints, but his words clearly made her uneasy.
Kyle came back and saw that Claire wasn’t herself. When she asked about Audra’s idea, Kyle explained the fake publicity plan. Claire agreed it was smart but said the truth was clear that neither Kyle nor Audra actually wanted the other to win.
