After getting coffee, Audra insists on joining her and digs into how she met with Noah.

“Cute,” she says, warning her about how moody Noah can get. Allie tells her that Noah she knows is upbeat and hilarious. He’s an amazing boyfriend.

Audra shakes her head and forces a smile as Allie goes on about all the love and authenticity he’s surrounded by. She suggests Audra never really appreciated him and thanks her for driving him back to where he belongs.

“I see right through you,” she says.

Audra claims she is thrilled he’s found someone new. They were volatile together and burned out, but it sounds like there is no electricity between he and Allie at all.

Mariah and Tessa stop by Noah’s club to make a reservation. They notice he’s not his snarky self and wonder what’s up. He explains Audra, his ex from London, has popped up.

He explains that she’s claimed she’s there for business. Mariah already doesn’t like her and thinks she should go.

Tessa doesn’t think Audra is a threat. Noah isn’t heartbroken anymore and he’s got a life. That should leave her powerless.

They tease him about Allie and he says she’s a gamechanger. They think she’s amazing. She even laughs at his jokes. He still suspects Audra could be trouble.

They want an explanation so he just says she can be very strong-willed and spiral emotionally, doing anything to get what she wants. Mariah is eager to get her out of town.

Allie joins them and fills them in about her little run-in with his ex and how passive-aggressive she is. Mariah threatens to sort her out, but Allie insists she’s got this. Audra doesn’t worry her.

Noah thinks she’s bad-ass and kisses her.

Chelsea goes to the park. Billy corners her and accuses her of camping out, waiting to ambush his son. She is offended. He reminds her that he and Victoria have warned her about this.

She insists they respect her biological connection to Johnny. He thought they were all on the same page but she keeps pushing and freaked out his son.

She’s sorry about that but is proud of him and how he’s dealt with things.

She thought he was putting him first by showing him compassion. He doesn’t know how painful it is for a child you carried to not return your affections.

This is ripping her up inside. She doesn’t want to be chastised. He tells her to give the kid some space and suggests she’s feeling lost and looking for balance.

She accuses him of being just like Adam by suggesting she’s using her kids.

Billy makes it clear he doesn’t think she’s a bad person, but he will do whatever it takes to protect his children.
