That's not what he said, he definitely told her to ask Linda about Frank Carson's dressing room. He's definitely trying to stir up trouble in there. The way he said "did I?" to Luisa in the bedroom showed that he was trying to let Luisa know that he knew he was lying as he said it.”
Yes, he lied and tried to backtrack and rewrite history.
My opinion is that that was the point when he really regretted what he'd said to Luisa, as he knew it had opened a can of worms he couldn't close, hence his fumbling backtracking and denying what he'd said. But, having since seen his apology, I do think his regret was genuine. Not excusing him for lying or for what he did (a low, spiteful blow) but I do think from what I saw that he was genuinely sorry.
