Ashley Visits Tucker, and Victor Puts Michael and Cole to the Test
Cole stops by the tack house to inquire about Claire’s first day of work. Although Victoria assures him she’s not there yet, she was virtually overflowing with anticipation when she left. They concur that this is a brand-new chapter in their lives and are proud of it.
Kyle informs Claire at the Abbott mansion that she had a fantastic day with Harrison. She is thanked by Summer. Claire is curious about the outcome of the “trial.” Summer says things are going great, and Kyle believes she really hit the mark. Before Claire leaves, Kyle tells Summer there’s something she should know. “Jordan has survived.” He clarifies that she is in a maximum-security setting.
Summer exclaims, “You knew about this, didn’t you?!” to Claire. According to Claire, she has known since this morning. Victor wanted to inform them, and she honoured her family’s wishes, even though she wanted to tell them straight immediately. Claire is told by Kyle that she can leave and to return tomorrow at the same hour. Summer sulks, “Eventually! After only a day on the job, she is already holding secrets that could come to light.
Summer questions whether Kyle withheld Jordan’s information from her in order to fulfil his hiring of Claire. Kyle contends that Claire was unrelated to her aunt’s survival. “What action did she take? Extract her corpse from the river? Stow her away in a closet? Summer screams that he is making fun of her and is condescending. He apologises, but Claire observing Harrison is unrelated to this. Summer objects, saying that the timing is off. She advises them to release Claire right away to prevent their son from growing any closer. “We’re not firing her,” adds Kyle. Our little son is returned to his adorable self, as you mentioned yourself. He won’t have that taken away from him! Summer gets upset that Kyle didn’t make the decision alone as he storms upstairs. She also has a voice in this!
Claire welcomes her parents when she gets to the tackhouse. She tells Harrison how much fun she had that day and claims she has never had so much fun with caterpillars. Cole says she’s a member of the child’s support system as they talk about how the child is recovering from his experience. Claire remarks that Kyle made a similar statement. Victoria thinks Summer has become a little more laid back.
Claire claims that she is being treated more like a coworker than a family member, and after learning about Jordan, she accused her of deliberately concealing it. Claire refuses Victoria’s offer to speak with her. She continues, praising Kyle for his enthusiasm and support. He gives her confidence that she can succeed. “Well, it sounds like you’ve made a friend,” Cole says with a smile.
Ashley asks Alan, “Why are you doing this to me?” in the Parisian pub. Together, they sat in that pub and caught up. They talked for a long time. “It happened, and I’m telling you right now!” This is somewhere Alan has never been. Traci suggests that she might be perplexed by the location. Ashley recognises the location and is even familiar with the barman. Alan doesn’t believe she’s lying. “It didn’t happen with me, but I believe it happened precisely as you describe. I think you went out with, uh, my brother that night.
Summer thanks Chance for meeting her in Chancellor Park and inquires as to what information he was able to gather regarding Jordan. Chance reassures her that the facility is adopting additional security measures and says what Kyle told her checks out. Summer acknowledges that if they weren’t, her grandfather would be whining. One of Claire’s greatest supporters, he was the one she sought to for solutions rather than Victor. Chance is always on her side. That means a lot to me, Summer tells him. Chance reassures her that this is excellent news as she stews. “Jordan is no longer a threat.” Summer claims that even knowing that Jordan had been located, Claire remained silent. She understood Victor’s desire to inform them, but all she knows is that Claire is already concealing information. Although Jordan can’t harm Harrison right now, the person she had a relationship with now has direct access to her kid.
Chance queries whether Claire has given her cause for concern. Summer responds, “No.” She was flawless and cheerful, and she hasn’t seen Harrison that joyful in a long time. She is appreciative, but nobody seems to recall that, prior to her attempt to kill them all, Claire was also her grandmother’s ideal helper. Kyle tells her that she is overreacting and she should not worry about what may happen if Jordan reached out to her. She believes Claire was forced into her employment. Nevertheless, it’s hard to ignore Harrison and Claire’s bond. She wants him to feel that way, but she can’t rest easy knowing that part of the reason she wanted to say no was also the reason she agreed to hire Claire.
Chance queries Summer about her feelings towards Claire. Well, if Summer is being honest, she is aware of how foolish it is. Claire is new and interesting, but his mother needs to make him eat veggies and brush his teeth. Chance is aware of the complex emotions. Summer claims that when Claire arrived with brownies, not only did Harrison almost do cartwheels, but Kyle did as well, and she doesn’t believe it was because of the goodies. Chance queries whether he has to be concerned that she is also envious of Kyle.
He receives comfort from Summer, and they both declare their happiness in one another. She acknowledges, though, that Harrison—not her—was the one who asked Claire to ride the ferris wheel. Chance notices that she’s beginning to feel as though she’s gazing in from the outside.
Claire heads upstairs in the tackhouse, and Cole notices how content she appears to be. Kyle, Victoria scowls. Naturally, I want Claire to make friends, but I’m not convinced he’s the best option. There is a complex history between him and Summer. Summer will be the focal point of the conflict because she isn’t entirely in favour of Claire being the babysitter. Kyle hasn’t always had the best judgement either. He dated that shark Audra Charles and has had multiple divorces.
Cole believes Victoria is being a mother—and perhaps a bit too protective. She needs a true friend, and she has found one. Victoria acknowledges his accuracy and pledges to stop worrying. She inquires, “When did you get so wise?” Cole merely wants to be a decent father. He’s a terrific father, Victoria assures him. At that moment, Cole receives a call from Victor at the main home, telling Vikki he will return later.
When Kyle gets to Society, Tessa and Mariah are seated next to him. They talk about Harrison’s kidnapping and inquire about his well-being. Kyle claims they’ve been fortunate. They have a great deal of support, and Sharon put them in touch with a paediatric therapist. Mariah enquires about Kyle’s wellbeing. Harrison is all Kyle needs to feel content. He displays a picture of the child grinning and claims that Claire took it. Tessa and Mariah remember that she was also abducted.
They’ve bonded by their shared survival, according to Kyle. She even works as his babysitter. “She’s what?!” Mariah asks, staring. She draws attention to Claire’s past. Harrison loves her, according to Kyle, and feels secure in her presence. Is she familiar with working with kids? Tessa queries. She is very energetic and intuitive, according to Kyle. She exudes charm, and her optimistic outlook is truly motivating. Tessa and Mariah exchange glances. Mariah observes that it appears Claire’s uniqueness is appreciated by others besides Harrison.
As Mariah asks Kyle, Tessa looks off and trots off. “I’m sorry to say it, but I feel bad for Summer in this situation.” She would want the best nanny for Aria, not someone whose aunt had just abducted her child, if she were Aria’s mother. Kyle comprehends. Other than someone attempting to adjust to their new situation, Mariah maintains that it’s nothing against Claire and that there are many other competent applicants. Anxious, Kyle objects that he’s actually come to know Claire. She is a strong, sincere person who is driven to act morally. He wouldn’t insist on this if he believed there was even the remotest chance of danger.
“All of this admiration for Claire…?” Mariah queries. Is there possibly another issue at hand? Acting upset, Kyle questions why she would accuse him of having a crush on the nanny. Mariah genuinely hopes Claire fulfils everything Harrison has mentioned and is the ideal match for him. “She is,” Kyle responds. provided that Summer doesn’t decide otherwise.
Claire is questioned by Victoria about Kyle in the tackhouse. Although she’s glad he hired her, he’s a complicated man. She wants to make friends outside of the workplace. Right now, Claire’s primary priorities are being a member of the family and leading a life that she is proud of. When Claire questioned her about her friendship with Cole, she wondered whether it was going too far. Victoria says she’s welcome to ask her anything. She wants to know if she can interrogate Claire. Claire responds, “Obviously.
” Somehow, she gets the impression that she has known her all her life. According to Victoria, it’s a mother-daughter thing. Claire wonders if Cole came to see her or if it was just a convenient excuse to see Victoria. Cole may have come for Claire, but Victoria flushes and says, “Maybe a little bit for her.” They fear what Jordan’s presence will do to Nikki, but Claire is confident in her future and feels strong.
Cole informs Victor at the ranch that Claire had a fantastic first day of work. He is certain that’s not the reason he called him over. Victor desires to discuss his betrayal. Or did I forget, in your opinion? Cole contends that he was shielding the family and himself from any consequences in the event that Jordan had been found below.
Victor laments that he was followed into his own house. “You left me hanging. You were going to set Jordan free. Cole contends that she was intended to be housed in a maximum-security facility. “I was just trying to help, Michael.” Michael Baldwin has been sacked, says Victor. Cole regrets to inform you that, but he is unable to fire him. “And stay the hell away from my daughter!” is what Victor can say to him to advise him to avoid his family.
Alan says he wanted to leave the bar in case his brother showed up at Ashley’s flat. He never wanted to have this talk, but after Ashley informed him what had transpired… Martin, my twin. He is a sociopath. Traci observes that this is more likely than it seems. Ashley clarifies that she was married to a person in a similar circumstance. “I wouldn’t want that to happen to anyone.” Alan regrets that news and that his brother ended up in her life.
He clarifies that they are no longer close. Martin has always exhibited sociopathic tendencies. He was kind and proud of him when he was on medication, but when he isn’t, he gets quite angry. Ashley queries why he did not inform her that he was a sibling. Alan claims that they fell out quite a bit. To keep an eye on him and help him acquire a job, they moved in together. Alan tells Ashley that Martin became bitter and stopped taking his medication, and Ashley flinches and holds her head. He turned aggressive and furious.
Ashley and Traci find out that Martin assaulted him. When he attempted to place him in an institution, he fled. He had to let it go, even if it had been two years since they last spoke. Traci clucks, thinking how awful this must be for him. Alan reports that since Ashley got to know him, he appears to be staying active and maintaining his network. Ashley remarks, “He’s monitoring me.” Why does he think his brother is monitoring his contacts, Traci wonders.
The week Ashley was in Paris, Alan says, he left his phone at home, and it’s possible that his brother broke in and used his contacts and phone. That would explain, according to Traci, why Ashley spoke with him when she phoned Alan’s phone. Ashley surmises that Martin recognised her in the bar since her photo appeared on the phone.
Ashley is asked by Alan if she has any other memories of that evening. Ashley complains that she can’t recall anything, clearly frustrated. Traci queries Alan’s thoughts. Alan suspects something traumatic may have happened between Martin and Ashley last night, given what he can be like when he’s not taking his medicine.
Ashley notes that she mistakenly believed Alan was with her that evening. Could she not be terrified of him? Alan is unsure. I guess it depends on what kind of trauma happened. According to Traci, discovering that information will benefit Ashley and help Alan reconnect with his brother.
