At Crimson Lights, Summer tells Kyle she was just about to call him. Her mom has been found. “You’re not even going to believe it. She was kidnapped.” It gets even crazier… Sharon was taken captive with her. They were locked up in an abandoned psychiatric clinic. Kyle asks who would do such a thing and why. Summer says they don’t know… it wasn’t about money as no ransom demand was made. She explains that Nick and Billy found them after getting a text clue from the kidnapper. Kyle marvels that it all sounds so crazy. They puzzle over who would do something so bizarre, and why? They’re still out there, so what’s to stop them from coming after Phyllis, Sharon, or another family member?
Kyle’s sorry Summer’s family is being targeted. Summer thanks him for being so solid and supportive. “Thank you for caring so much about me.” Kyle’s smiling into her eyes when Claire walks in.
Kyle and Summer bring Claire up to speed on Phyllis’ abduction with Sharon. Claire knows how scary that can be. Summer sighs that it’s been one thing or another… one psychopath after another attacks her family… she’s sure this had more to do with Sharon than her mother. Kyle reminds her they don’t know the motive. Summer’s glad they spoke to Harrison about it when they did… a kid at school told him his grandma might never come back. It just happened this morning. Luckily, they’d prepared him. Claire is glad Summer came to get Kyle when she did. Sumer’s glad she approves. Claire assures her cousin that the evening still worked out for her and Kyle. It was a win/win for everyone.

Holden Files a Complaint With Audra
At Society, Holden spots Audra and teases her about being glued to her phone. She snarks, “Aren’t you supposed to be back in Los Angeles?” His flight was canceled due to weather. She’s glad the delay had nothing to do with her. If he said it didn’t, he’d be lying. Knowing he’d be stuck here for a while made him think of her. Audra reminds him that they’re past is just that… the past. Holden reminds her she promised to be a friend. Audra says it will never be more than that… he can’t rekindle something between them. Holden insists he has nothing but respect for her connection with Nate… unlike how he felt about Tucker. He asks why she keeps pushing him away, yet accepts invitations for coffee. She’s sending mixed messages. Audra sighs. He’s right. “There’s something I need to come clean about.”
Audra tells Holden that Nate saw his message and returned the text saying, “You’ve got one,” when he asked to have her as a friend. Holden asks why Nate would do that Audra can only imagine he was trying to prove he wasn’t jealous. Holden asks what she would have said if Nate hadn’t spoken for her. Audra’s not sure. She’s not opposed to having a friendship with him, but she can’t trust him not to take advantage of the situation. Holden gives her his word. Audra’s still skeptical. Holden asks her to have lunch with him. Audra claims she’s waiting for Nate. Holden says that’s perfect… he won’t mind if he stays and joins her for lunch. Audra chides that he’s pushing his luck. He grins.

In the dining room, Kyle complains to Summer that there’s an ulterior motive behind Victor’s every move. Summer concedes that he’d love to hear about any new tension in the Abbott household. She thinks it’s mostly to do with his hatred of Jack, but she’s sure Claire is a part of it now too. Kyle wonders why he cares if he and Claire are together. Summer admits, “I think my grandpa thinks you and I should get back together.” Kyle asks if he really thinks he can push them back together. Summer says they both know how much he values family. Meddling is what he does. He believes he’s the puppet master and can dictate everyone’s lives. Kyle asks why he’d want them together. Summer says he made a point of reminding her they share a child. She’s not advocating for this, just interpreting what her grandfather thinks. Kyle is sure she’s right, but finds it unfair for him to put Claire in this position.
