Ava calls Rafe to ask him to wish her luck. She’s headed into Julie’s Place to see if she can get an interview with Julie. She admits her resume is unconventional. Inside, Philip calls Chloe to see how her day was going. He invites her to lunch but Brady asked her to finish quarterly projections. Philip’s face falls. She wouldn’t want to disappoint Brady. They decide to dine tonight. She disconnects and Nicole appears. She thinks it’s sweet that Philip called to check on her and ask her out. Chloe says it is, but she also wonders if he was just checking up on her. Back at Julie’s Place, Ava greets Philip. He asks if she’s leaning on Julie for protection money. She laughs. He doesn’t want anything to do with her. One thing he learned from her is that crime doesn’t pay. She tells him about applying there as a chef. He finds that funny. Ava’s confident she knows more than most chefs. He’s not sure it’s a suitable career path for stealing and murdering. She shrugs. She’s in a relationship with a police chief and will never go back to a life of crime. Philip doubts she’s legit but if she is, he’s happy for her. “I guess,” he says. If she hadn’t, he might want her to find somebody to break Brady’s legs for him. Ava asks what that’s about and Philip talks about dating Chloe and that he’s threatened by the man who is trying to take Chloe from him. Ava listens and says she understands how he feels. She fills him in on Rafe’s feelings for Nicole. “Why aren’t you breaking Nicole’s legs, aside from the fact that you’ve gone legit?” Ava laughs. Nicole agreed to stay away from him. Philip considers that lucky. He wishes Brady would do that. Ava thinks Rafe’s feelings for Nic are behind them but PhillyK asks if she’s past the jealousy.

In the square, Gabi and Jake confront Brady about spying on Titan. Brady asks why he’d do that. Gabi reminds him he’s the competition and Jake thinks he was looking for an edge. “Is this about that keylogger incident?” Brady says he didn’t know what a keylogger was and already told Brady he wasn’t involved. “Please tell me you don’t think I’d do something about that.” Gabi says she doesn’t. She thought they were on a wild good chase. She thinks this is a vendetta from Philip. They lay it on thick, manipulating Brady into thinking that Philip really has it in for him. Brady knows the guy’s a jealous maniac and thinks he’s after his girlfriend. Jake thinks that explains a lot. Brady admits that Philip tracked Chloe down when he learned they were staying in a hotel on a business trip. Jake thinks that makes more sense now. Brady asks what he means. Gabi shares that he should hear about the way Philip talks about him around the office. Brady suggests if there are issues she may want to go to Victor. She’s not so sure she should. She asks if Brady would mind talking to Victor on her behalf. As they talk, Brady becomes suspicious. Is this really about concern for the company? He wonders if they have personal motives. Gabi Chic is her life’s work, so she considers it personal and that Philip could ruin that. Brady agrees and thinks either one of them would be a better CEO at this point. “Hah! I don’t know about that,” Jake cracks. Gabi thinks if he agrees Philip is unfit to run the company, he owes it to Victor to tell him. This is his children’s legacy. Philip appears.
