Upon her request, Audra goes to see Nikki. Nikki explains that she believes they should address the recent exchange to clear the air. She apologizes for snapping at her, but Audra insists that the apology should come from her for overstepping.

Nikki reiterates her discomfort with Audra knowing about her recent struggles with sobriety. She expresses concern that their work dynamic may become awkward now that Audra is aware. Furthermore, learning about Audra’s father’s challenges leads Nikki to believe that Audra will be constantly monitoring her behavior.

Nikki maintains that she is not firing her, but rather presenting an opportunity. She indicates her desire for her to supervise the Newman offices in London. Audra acknowledges her capability but specifies that the office is not scheduled to open until next year. Nikki explains that there is a lot of work to get done, so it would be best for Audra to go from now. Audra shares that she loves Genoa City and is reluctant to relocate. However, Nikki remains firm in her belief that it is a perfect opportunity.

Audra maintains her stance, emphasizing to Nikki that with Claire no longer her assistant, and without Audra’s support, Nikki will have sole responsibility for running Newman Media. Audra underscores the potential stress associated with this situation and its adverse effects on her sobriety, highlighting stress as a significant trigger.

She cautions Nikki about the potential consequences of her decision. In response, Nikki says, “I am sorry you feel that way. You leave me no choice but to let you go.” Nikki promises Audra a comprehensive severance package and a good recommendation. Following Audra’s departure, Nikki momentarily considers turning to alcohol but refrains, choosing instead to call Jack for help.

Finding common ground as grandfathers, they engage in a conversation about Harrison. In a gesture of camaraderie, Jack suggests that they share a drink as a nod to their past rivalry. However, Victor orders tequila and instructs the waiter to charge it to Jack’s tab.
