She doubts Jill and Billy will make it easy. Lily thinks they may have the right incentive.

They decide not to talk business for once but keep things personal.
They toast to their own company.
They go over his fancy resume, travelling, and swimming competitions.
She tells him about her interest in visual art.
He had no idea she had so many talents.
Tucker intrudes and she tries to chase him off, saying she’s already made herself clear.
She snubs him and asks Nate to walk her back to her room for a nightcap.
He sits at the bar. When Sally comes in, he asks her for a minute and hopes she she can tell him he hasn’t completely blown things with Audra.
She doesn’t think so.
He can understand Audra being upset with him but now he wonders if something is going on with Nate.
If she’s doing it to make him jealous, it’s working.
He worries he is losing her.
Sally thinks there is hope but he needs to get his act together.
Nate and Audra are in the doorway of the GCAC.
She tells him she’s finally listening to his warnings about Tucker and is ready to let him go.
He thanks her for the evening.
She asks him up to her suite.
In her suite, Audra pours Tucker’s scotch for Nate.
He’s sure McCall wouldn’t like this.
She knows. Tucker starts knocking on the door.
Nate answers. Audra smirks across the room at Tucker.
Nate tells the other man she wants nothing more to do with him and he should walk away with his dignity.
They close the door on his face and toast.
Tucker takes a deep breath.
