Ash still thinks he wants to play footsies with his ex under the table at board meetings.

In the Club dining room, Phyllis tells Lauren she wishes she’d seen Jack’s face when Eric walked through his office door. They spot Gloria and delight in calling her over for a drink. Over a cocktail, they reveal that Lauren signed a deal with Jabot. Gloria assumes Lauren gave up control. She promises to try and put in a good word with Jack to keep them on. Lauren explains she kept controlling interest in her company and Glo’s jaw drops. After, Gloria calls Jack to meet her at the Top of the Tower.
