Why can't he choose peace and healing?!

At Society, Victoria meets with Audra about the Vibrante patents. After some back and forth, Victoria wants to know how much she wants for them. Audra warns she'll have to give her something much more interesting than money if she wants to make this deal.

Victoria's sure to let Audra know how she feels about her trying to break up her daughter's relationship, which makes us eager for Audra to find out that Victoria is actually sleeping with her daughter's ex now.

Anyway, Victoria keeps pushing for a number and Audra asks for recognition for developing the amazing product. Victoria doles out a compliment and asks what else she wants. Audra wants exclusive rights to promote Vibrante through Spectra-Charles. Victoria says it's not happening. Audra says those are the terms. Her lawyer will give her the price. She stalks off as Nikki appears.

At the outdoor café, Audra meets Sally, who enthuses about an interview with a rock god. Talk turns to the unhinged wedding planner, Pietro. Audra may have an early wedding present for her. Victoria wants her Vibrante patents, so she demanded a sponsorship deal across Spectra-Charles platforms. Sally's surprised she'd even let her have the patents she worked so hard on. Audra's moved on from Vibrante. Sally's proud of her.

Talk turns to Billy. Audra thinks Sally should tell Billy she wants him to let go of Chancellor for good. Sally thinks maybe she's the one who needs to let it go and stand in her bliss.
