-Hello, hello. -[chuckles]
A smile and a wave...
unironically? I'm touched.
I didn't think
you liked me that much.
Well, chalk it up to a good mood.
Buy me a latte?
Buy you a latte?
You can't afford one yourself,
so you wait at a table
until someone you recognize stops by--is that what this is?
No, I just got here.
But fine. I will buy my own latte.
You don't have to be a jerk about it.
No, I'll...I'll get it.
Hey, was that a dig at me being out of work?
Because that won't be the case much longer.
Is this bravado or sincerity?
I can't tell.
Yeah, after you buy me my coffee,
maybe you can sit with me.
Uh, m-maybe for a minute.
I'm actually meeting Claire.
Mm.
Is that a-a warning?
Well, I figured I'd give you a few minutes to steel yourself.
Or run for the exit.
Uh-huh. Yeah, I'm actually over Little Miss Muffet.
I will just sit here quietly drinking my latte.
No attacks, no comments.
Claire Newman doesn't bother me anymore.
Why do I not believe you?
Where's my phone?
You wanna talk to someone?
Maybe we should have
Christian come over
and say goodbye to Noah.
[sniffling]
Yeah. We could do that.
It's just...it's so abrupt, Nick.
Noah leaving again like this?
Do you think we could him out of it?
I mean, he seems pretty set, Sharon.
His grandfather's letting him
use the jet.
If he would just wait a few days,
we could do something,
we could plan something more appropriate,
some kind of going-away party.
Maybe we could talk him out of it all together.
-Everything's gonna be okay. -[sighs]
No. [crying]
I should have gone to Boston!
We went through that, Sharon.
Mariah needed me.
She needed me and I knew it, and I stayed in LA with Noah.
Look, you struggled with that for days.
I mean, you can't be in two places at once.
My daughter took a child, Nick.
She has kidnapped a little boy.
Maybe if I had gone to her, if I had seen her,
maybe if I'd spent some time with her,
then this wouldn't have happened!
Come here. Come here.
-It's not your fault. -NOAH: What's not her fault?
Mom, what's--what's wrong?
What's going on?
♪♪
Sorry. sorry.
Okay, someone talk to me, tell me what's going on?
Mom, why are you so upset?
Noah, I can't get into this with you right now.
I need to go and talk to Tessa.
I think that's a good idea.
Tessa? Why Tessa? Is it Mariah?
Did something happen?
There's something I need to go and handle, Noah.
Okay, now, promise me that you will not leave town
until I get back, please.
Yeah, okay.
Okay. Your father will fill you in.
What the hell was that?
This has to be about Devon's visit, right?
He was concerned about Dominic.
Yeah, he was.
Uh, Sienna, would it be possible
if I had some time to talk to my son?
I don't see why she has to leave.
I mean, I'm gonna tell her anything you tell me.
SIENNA: No, no, no, it's totally fine.
I will take a walk around the grounds,
check out the scenery and say my goodbyes.
So now you're gonna brave the cold?
I'm tough.
I didn't think you would beat me here.
Well, I was already on my way when you called.
So you've heard about Mariah and Dominic?
I don't see how this is possible.
I can't wrap my mind around it either.
I just--I'm sorry. I should have called.
But when Devon and Abby told me,
I just--I honestly didn't know what to say.
So Mariah... came back to Genoa City?
She came back home,
but she didn't tell any of us she was here.
And then she took Dominic? I mean, I just--I don't get it!
She loves that little boy.
I wanna believe that this is a misunderstanding
and that it is not...
what it looks like.
Yeah, me too.
I should have gone to visit her.
I just--I kept convincing myself that she was okay
and that she was getting the help she needed.
No, I thought that too, but I just had
this terrible feeling when I went to the clinic.
She just didn't seem to be improving.
I wanted her out, but she wouldn't come with me.
She just kept pushing me away.
I wish I had tried harder.
Did the clinic do this to her?
Did it hurt her more than help her?
Has Mariah completely snapped?
What is with you? You're trying to antagonize me.
As opposed to you, the ultimate peacekeeper?
You're the one who keeps bringing up Claire.
It's like you're testing me.
Don't think I haven't noticed that.
All right, well, why is it so easy?
You know, I am surprised.
You used to be so much tougher than this.
So now I'm thin-skinned?
You dealt with all sorts of personalities
-back in the day in Los Angeles. -Yeah, damn straight.
The aggressor, the phony, the--
Or both. And I still haven't lost my edge.
Until now.
Claire gets to you.
Not anymore.
Okay? You and I made a deal, remember?
I haven't done anything to Claire since then.
Except for curse her under your breath
and stick pins in a doll that looks like her.
-[both chuckle] -Why? Is she complaining
-of pain? -You know what?
When I think of all the rich, entitled snobs
that you hung out with in LA...
you would show 'em your artwork.
You would smile when they were condescending.
You would laugh when they were rude.
But nothing fazed you.
Like you said, I had thick skin, and I still do.
So why Claire?
Why is she your trigger?
Look, I've dealt with
countless spoiled Claire Newmans in my life.
At one time, they got the best of me.
But this Claire won't win.
Oh, oh, warmth, salvation.
There's probably some hot chocolate around here somewhere.
Oh, I am just so glad to be indoors.
You are my hero.
Yeah. It's a good thing I ran into you at the stables.
-Yeah, I got so turned around. -So, what, Noah just sent you
out on your own to fend for yourself?
Well, I thought I could handle a solo walk.
I've done it before. It's just that, you know,
like this place is huge.
Just tall trees and all the shrubbery.
Yeah. I used to get lost all the time.
Yeah. And now you are the girl with the horse.
Ah, yeah. Seeker was a gift from my grandfather.
And I'm so glad you got to meet him--he really liked you.
Yeah? Well, I think all that slobbering
was for the carrot, not so much for me.
Well, I haven't been a great friend to Seeker lately.
I haven't ridden him that much because I was in LA,
and then...now everything happening with Newman.
Yeah. It's busy times, huh?
The staff takes really good care of him but, you know,
he gets restless, so I'm gonna take him out again
in the morning if you would like to join.
Do you ride?
Ride? A horse?
-[both laugh] -Okay, so what you
just witnessed out there
is the closest I have ever been to an animal that big.
Well, I might seem really experienced,
but not that long ago that wasn't true.
I just had a really good teacher.
Okay, so wait, wait. There's, um, uh...
there's a saddle that you sit in, right?
-And then which way do you face? -Towards the horse's head.
Oh! See? Makes sense.
See? You're a natural. So what do you say?
-Do you wanna go? -I really do appreciate
your offer but, um,
I'm just not sure that I'm gonna be here that much longer.
Oh. You're leaving?
Yeah, well, when you found me, I was looking for the house.
I wanted to come by and thank Nikki and Victor
for their hospitality and support.
Are you going back to LA?
-It's the plan. -What about Noah?
Yeah, he might-- he might be coming with me.
Why do I get the sense that that's not something you want?
Latte.
-Thank you. -You're welcome.
You know, I knew a lot of Claires growing up...
entitled SoCal doe-eyed princesses.
Their daddies had money. Their mothers had manicures.
Homes with a housekeeper, a pool.
Designer bags and jeans.
A weekend place by the beach.
Pretty, perfect people.
Yeah. My world was different.
My parents weren't around much.
They worked multiple jobs to keep food on the table.
And I was just an afterthought.
You know, we couldn't afford much.
My clothes were either secondhand or...
made by someone we knew.
A neighbor, a relative.
You know, everything about my life, about me,
was something for these girls to ridicule.
My...clothes, my shoes,
the food in my lunch box, my hair, my accent.
And I did all these things to try to assimilate.
Yeah, I worked on my accent, I straightened my hair.
But it just made everything worse.
And that's when I started stealing.
Fancy lotions, perfumes.
A blouse neither I nor my parents could afford
because it was too expensive.
Everything was too expensive.
But I did anything to get these girls to leave me alone.
And, hey, I am not proud of the thefts.
I was just so desperate to fit in.
And I realized too late that there was nothing I could do
to make that happen.
I was me, and they were them.
Different universes.
I was never gonna enter their orbit,
so I just stopped trying.
-It must have been hard. -Yeah.
But that's when I got tough.
When I got older and finally had some money,
I went back to a few of the stores I'd stolen from
and I bought a bunch of clothes
that I donated to organizations that helped women.
I thought if I could help someone...
...that might right one of my wrongs or make a difference.
I-I had no idea.
I knew that your childhood... that it wasn't great.
But...
I'm very sorry, Audra.
I won't ever be treated like that again.
I won't take that from anyone.
Not from Claire or anyone like her.
You know, I get it.
But you do realize that Claire
is not like any of those people that you just described.
Your mother's very upset.
It seems like Mariah has disappeared with Dominic.
Disappeared? What--what does that mean?
We think she took him.
I-I don't understand.
I thought Mariah was receiving treatment in Boston.
She was, but then she came home
and she didn't tell anyone she was doing that.
Okay, took him how? Where--where did she go?
Devon said that Mariah saw Dominic playing in their yard,
and then she took Dominic
without getting Devon and Abby's permission.
Why would she do that? She adores Dominic.
Mariah has been having a rough go of it lately.
I thought she was all right.
I thought she went to that clinic to get help.
She did, but it doesn't seem like
it was making much of a difference.
She's been really struggling.
No one told me.
Well, Noah, you were in a coma.
You know, and with everything that was going on with Matt,
we decided to spare you some details.
Sounds like you spared me a lot.
Okay, well, also there was Mariah's privacy.
But now that this has happened, you deserve to know everything.
-Please. -It looks like this all started
when Mariah went on this trip.
Something happened on that trip. We don't know what.
But when she came back home, she was a changed person.
Did someone hurt her?
We just don't know, son.
But that's what led to her stay in Boston.
We thought that would be the best thing for her.
But once she got there, she completely shut out Tessa,
Sharon, and even Aria.
That makes no sense. It's not like her.
When she left the clinic, Tessa and Sharon thought
that she had gone south based on her phone's location.
But it turns out she just came back to Genoa City.
Has she been seen since she took Dominic?
The police have security footage
of Mariah leaving a local motel with Dom.
Other than that, nothing since then.
Damn. No wonder Mom is so freaked out.
Your mother needs your support right now.
Please do not leave.
If there's any way you and Sienna can delay your trip,
it'd be huge for your mother.
Will you please stay here for her?
Is it possible for you
to look at this as a therapist?
I mean, your training and your expertise?
Mariah was struggling. We both know that.
But for her to take her behavior to this extreme,
to take things to this level...
What would that indicate, do you think?
Well, as her mother, I don't wanna believe
that she's had a complete mental breakdown...
But that's what it looks like.
I mean, if you were her therapist...
If I were her therapist, yes.
But I'm not her therapist.
You know what, this could be just a terrible mistake.
Mariah took Dom on a short trip and...
she left a message for Devon and Abby,
but they didn't get it.
I'm telling you, my daughter would never harm that child.
No, and the woman I married wouldn't either,
but the Mariah we both know has been unreachable
for a while now, in all ways.
She's been sad and distressed.
Lost. Vacant. I mean, completely shut down.
When I visited her in Boston and I hugged her...
it was like she was completely frozen.
I should have gone to visit her.
I should have tried harder to get through.
Sharon...you don't know if you would have been able to.
I'm her mother. If anyone could get through, I could!
I don't know, Sharon.
It just kills me that...
She needed help.
She was in pain, and I couldn't reach her.
I wasn't there for her when she needed me.
Stop. She pushed all of us away,
made it so difficult to be around her.
I just can't believe that
whatever she experienced...
it pushed her to become...
A kidnapper.
[sobs] A person who would take a child away
from their parents... in broad daylight.
Is this what my daughter has become?
There you go, coming to Claire's defense again.
Don't do that. Don't shut down.
Not when we're having a genuine conversation.
You baited me to get me to open up to you.
It's not a bad idea to show people you have a heart
every once in a while, that you have vulnerabilities
and scars-- it makes you human, Audra.
Yeah. That I can be thin-skinned?
All right, those people who hurt you, they were bullies.
They were selfish, self-centered,
narrowminded jerks, and that hurt, that anger,
that pain you feel...
that's valid.
I just want you to see
that Claire is not one of those people.
Ugh. She has you wrapped around her finger.
Don't become the bully yourself.
That is not the way to heal.
Oh, thanks for the hot tip.
You don't know Claire like I do.
She's not some rich, stuck up brat that you think she is.
The fact that she's even dating a guy like me...
that proves that.
So...
Look, I love Noah. I wanna be with him.
But there's something you're not sure about?
I'm just not sure that I am the right fit for him.
Because of all this?
Look, he grew up here.
This lifestyle, the wealth,
the opulence.
And for you, it's not the same story.
Look, I-I knew that, when I net Noah,
that we came from different backgrounds,
but just...now being here, the reality of all this...
Makes you see Noah differently?
If this is what Noah knows
and it's the lifestyle that he wants for himself,
I am not the right person for him.
I don't fit the mold. I don't ride horses.
I wouldn't know what to wear at a fancy dinner.
Play the game-- I mean, small talk? What about?
Stocks and my lavish vacations?
[both chuckle]
Look, I got lost in his backyard.
I would definitely lose myself in his world.
Look, no offense, it just-- it doesn't feel real.
Not to me.
What does?
My bar.
My Malibu bungalow.
Traffic.
-[both laughing] -Music.
Late nights.
You know, if Noah wants to whisk me away from all of that,
I just...
I'm not some princess who's trapped in a tower
she doesn't wanna be in.
You know, I like my life in LA.
Despite the challenges.
And now, with Matt out of your life,
things can open up for you.
You get new opportunities, choices.
Noah belongs here.
I don't.
I am rock and roll, and I just think
that if we try to settle in together,
Noah's gonna feel as out of place in my life
as I feel in his.
I don't really know Noah that well--he's my cousin,
but I haven't gotten to spend much time with him.
That's because he's been living the jet set life.
He's been at his club in London, trying to open one in LA.
Okay. Call me a romantic,
but if the two of you love each other
as much as you say you do,
then maybe the things that you're worried about
won't matter so much.
Maybe you'll be able to find a way
to fit into each other's lives if you try.
You know, if... you wanted to try.
I wouldn't leave unless I knew Mom was okay.
Okay? I can stay as long as she needs me,
until everything with Mariah's resolved.
That's all I ask. Thank you.
So what can I do? Do we--do we look for Mariah?
[sighs] Right now it's just a waiting game.
How could I not have known that this was going on with Mariah?
I mean, I could have been home. I could have been there for her.
No. We kept things from you. It was a conscious decision.
Yeah, but I should have stayed in touch with her better.
If I'd checked in, maybe this wouldn't have happened.
She would have understood, okay?
You were living your life, man. That's what we want for you.
Yeah. I get caught up in work.
I'm sorry. I promise I'll do better, though.
I wanna play a meaningful part in this family,
in everyone's lives in Genoa City,
no matter where I end up.
And it sounds like that's gonna be LA.
Yeah.
I need you to help me understand this...
why you think LA is the right place for you.
Thank you.
I...I just can't reconcile
the Mariah I know
with the person who took Dominic...
if that's what really happened.
It looks that way, unfortunately.
But the Mariah we know wouldn't do that...
to Devon, to Abby, or Dominic.
Yeah, but she also wouldn't have
ignored our daughter on Christmas
or refused our calls or been away this long.
You're right.
We're not dealing with the Mariah that we both know.
She's changed, Sharon,
and she's a very different person now,
and honestly, it scares the hell out of me.
I love Sienna...
and wherever she is is the place I wanna be.
Is that love or...
infatuation?
Really, Dad? Come on.
What do you two have in common?
We both run clubs. We...
love the same types of music, movies.
-That's it? -Well, it's hard to
boil it down into bullet points, you know?
But just...just tell me what your real problem is.
When you met her, she was married.
-And? -She's also older than you.
Why does that matter? It doesn't to me.
We have a lot more in common than you think.
Even if you don't see it.
Look, when I first came to LA,
she and I had already met through Matt.
We ran into each other at some art house theater.
And that's, you know, when we found
that there was something more between us.
Just because the two of you like old movies,
it doesn't mean you're meant to be together.
I know that. You're the one trying to make me
explain the attraction.
Yeah, well, I question this woman's motives in pursuing you.
No, no, that's not what happened. It was mutual.
What about your future?
I mean, how do you see this playing out?
Dad, she gets me, and I get her.
All that little stuff, it...
doesn't matter.
Look, I do not question
that you have feelings for her.
I'm just concerned, bud,
that one day, you're gonna wake up
and you're gonna realize that this relationship
is not what you thought it was.
You and Claire dating?
How quaint.
We've been on dates. There's no need to mock.
And you threw that fact in my face because...
Because we grew up alike, you and me.
Hand-to-mouth, wrong side of the tracks.
You know, crossing over to the other side,
it isn't easy, I get it.
Yeah, people don't like it.
Because it makes them nervous.
Like we're about to take what's theirs.
And I've met my fair share of entitled snobs,
jerks along the way-- I've got in fights.
Yeah, so you know what it's like.
Yeah, but I believe that people are mostly alike.
Money or not, we all want the same things.
Yeah, but money makes a hell of a difference.
I prefer it over the alternative.
You've been in both worlds.
Claire has too. You have that in common.
Aw, so you want us to become besties?
Bond over our difficult childhoods?
Claire became a part of the Newmans' world
very recently.
She didn't grow up in the lap of luxury.
And from the sounds of it,
she had it worse than either of us.
Okay, I get it. Claire came from hell.
She was saved from her psychotic aunt
and she came from nothing, sure.
But she was hoisted onto a pedestal,
and she's made herself pretty comfortable there.
And now she just acts like an innocent angel
and looks down on anyone who dares to question her.
This world, the Newman experience,
I didn't think it was for me either.
Okay, I'm surprised. It seems to suit you.
Thank you. Well, I didn't grow up in this family.
Far from it. I was raised by my Aunt Jordan
who actually sounds a lot like Matt.
She was controlling and had her own agenda.
Ooh, I'm sorry.
This life that I have now didn't seem possible.
It wasn't even the kind of thing I could dream about.
So when it did finally happen, I was really intimidated
by the prospect of becoming a Newman.
Uh, yeah, well, to be honest, it seems terrifying.
I didn't think they'd ever accept me,
and I didn't know anything about this kind of life either,
you know, the wine and the horses
and which fork to use.
But then I realized that the things
that I was most worried about actually mattered the least.
You know, um, Noah and I had a little pillow talk
about running away, escaping all this.
And that we would survive because we had each other.
Well, that's it.
The love and the connection is the most important part.
Yeah, well, I think I need
a little bit more of your optimism.
It can be kinda hard to come by sometimes.
So, uh, what's the deal with you and, uh, Kyle?
What's happening there?
We are not together.
We realized that we just want different things
-from life right now. -That's too bad.
Because that guy genuinely seemed to love you.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
He did. He was protective like Noah,
and he didn't like seeing me with Holden.
Yeah, and I doubt that's changed.
The last time we talked,
you said that you didn't think Holden
told me the whole story,
that there was more to what happened with him and Audra.
Yeah. That's true.
And that what he left out was supposedly worse?
Do you think you're ready to tell me the rest of it?
I hate the idea that
you would be scared of Mariah.
But you can understand why.
I just don't wanna think that
she would do this.
I don't understand the motivation.
I mean, why go after someone else's child?
If she was gonna do this, why not go after Aria?
This is so hard to understand.
All of this has just made me realize...
how much Mariah has changed.
I mean, she's basically unrecognizable.
There has to be something
to explain why she would do this.
Did Devon tell you about the scarf?
-What scarf? -After Dominic went missing,
Devon found a scarf outside the house,
and it was a scarf that I gave to Mariah.
Proving that she was there.
Along with security footage.
But her phone--the location said that she was heading south.
Yeah, but maybe she gave it to someone
or lost it on purpose to throw us off track
when she came to Genoa City to take Dominic?
That is so calculated. It's such a detailed plan.
That doesn't sound like Mariah.
Is it possible that somebody
planted this idea in her head
to kidnap Dominic?
Look, son, I am not my father.
I do not enjoy getting involved in your business,
and normally, I wouldn't.
Look, I know you and Mom have had problems
with who I've dated in the past,
whether you thought that I was making a wrong choice
or that they were a bad influence on me.
I know you liked Allie.
We did. We do.
We thought that you liked her too.
Let's not, okay?
Look...
you tend to...
look for women with some trouble, you know?
Maybe women that you think need rescuing.
You probably get that from me.
That's not why I'm with Sienna.
I mean, Sienna's got this cool, carefree lifestyle.
When you met her she was off-limits, you know, forbidden.
Maybe that's exciting for you.
Come on, I'm not some sheltered small town hick.
I've lived in Europe. I ran my own club in London.
Sienna and I are a lot more alike than you think.
What about your future?
Have you really, really given it some thought
what that might look like for the two of you?
I've fallen in love with Sienna, Dad.
She's special to me.
I have been with some incredible...women,
but she's different than anyone I've ever met.
And that includes Tessa and Allie.
And even Audra.
I've also dated a Newman.
And I made the mistake of being in business with Victor.
I know what their world's like. It's privileged.
With a limited tolerance for outsiders.
Claire is kind.
Maybe to you, because you placate her.
-I'm nice to her. -Okay, whereas I'm not.
She's not real, Holden.
She's exactly like those girls I knew growing up.
And now she's looking for ammunition.
What happened in Los Angeles.
You would think she has better things to do.
After the horrible childhood she had,
she should focus on the positives in her life
instead of coming after me.
You went after Kyle. That is reason enough to dislike you.
I said I would turn over a new leaf.
But I won't pretend like I don't know who she is.
She acts all sweet and innocent,
and, yes, I know I slapped her,
but she's the person whose hands were around my neck.
She poisoned her entire family.
The ones who smile to your face and stab you in the back
are the ones you should fear the most.
Why don't you try leveling with Claire?
You can talk about your past,
the bullying, the rough childhood.
You two may have more in common than you think.
Claire may show you more compassion than you expect.
-Okay, I don't have any proof. -That's fine.
I just suspect that the full story
involved more than a stolen wallet.
And that it was a lot worse, and it went down in the club.
Why at the club?
I don't know. It's just a hunch.
You know, I remember Matt had this friend.
He was an art dealer.
-The guy Audra was with. -Mm-hmm.
They came in one night,
and then he told Matt that Audra ripped him off.
-The check from the wallet. -Yeah.
The creep kept coming in looking for Audra
and Holden tried to get rid of him,
and one day he just--pfff.
He just stopped coming in.
-Do you remember when that was? -No. It was kind of abrupt.
Literally from one day to the next.
-Did he go out of town? -Apparently, Matt reached out
to the guy's art gallery,
and no one there knew what happened either.
-Well, that's strange. -Yeah.
It's like he just vanished.
Look, I get it. Sienna is unique,
and I don't doubt that you have feelings for her.
Coulda fooled me.
You had to keep your relationship with her secret
from Matt and from Allie.
Now that everything's out in the open...
You don't think we stand a chance.
I just think you need to be really cautious.
And you need to seriously consider uprooting your life
and moving to LA for this woman.
Look, I get that you and Mom wanna look out for me.
I really appreciate that, but you don't get to run my life.
This isn't up for your approval.
Noah, I'm your dad, okay?
I'm gonna give you my two cents.
Yeah. I think that was
at least a few dollars' worth of commentary.
I don't want you to get hurt.
Or taken advantage of.
Matt could have killed you.
And you think Sienna is somehow still a threat to me.
[Nick sighs]
Look, I'm here.
I-I'm okay.
But there's nothing that you or Mom can say
that'll make me change the way I feel about Sienna
or make me rethink my decision to go with her to LA.
So your mind's made up?
Once everything is sorted out with Mariah,
Sienna and I will leave town
and start our life together,
even if that's not what you want to hear.
So you think that someone might have told Mariah to do this,
-that coached her? -Or she had an accomplice.
Or maybe this is all her.
I mean, despite how strong she is,
she has been struggling for a while now.
She does have a history
of not always doing the right thing.
And if she did try to kill the man in the hotel room
like she said she did, she would be
incredibly vulnerable and fragile and scared.
And potentially dangerous.
What if Ian... is the catalyst for all of this?
Mariah felt so guilty when he killed Heather
and tried to set you up.
Because it was about her.
Ian wanted Mariah back in the fold.
And then she goes on this business trip
and meets a man who resembles Ian
and she just...snapped.
It is possible
that Ian left a strong impression on Mariah,
her psyche, how she views herself.
I mean, yeah. He was like a father.
He was like a father figure. A twisted one.
What she's done-- it almost sounds like him,
taking a child away from his parents?
That's exactly what happened to her.
She's been so angry at herself.
-The self-loathing... -So, what, then?
Mariah embraces the darkness,
all the ugly parts of her that she doesn't like
that remind her of Ian?
Was she planning this from the start?
Maybe that's why she's been pushing us away
and didn't want us around.
When we spoke on the phone when she was in the clinic,
she wanted to see me.
She sounded...terrified.
Is it possible that something else happened
when she was inside?
But why do all of this? Why take Dominic?
Why put Abby and Devon through this hell?
We have got to find out where she's headed
and what her plan is now.
But how?
Bare my soul to Claire?
Thanks, but no. Not a chance in hell.
Don't keep on this path.
Are you sure you wouldn't like to see
Claire and me keep fighting?
Something tells me you like it.
Maybe you see this as us competing for your attention.
Let me stop you right there. No.
I don't want any trouble, Audra.
I have to thank you, though, for reminding me
why I hate that little princess so much.
Is this really worth it?
Look at you.
Just twisting yourself into knots to defend her.
Remember our agreement.
I'll stick to it as long as
you hold up your end of the bargain--
Claire never finds out what really happened in LA.
-I won't say anything else. -Good.
Because if Claire comes after me again,
all bets are off.
So the art dealer went missing and no one came looking for him?
I don't think he was the most popular person.
I think his colleagues did some searching, but...
didn't turn up anything.
I wonder if he was reported missing.
Do you remember his name?
I asked Holden, but he danced around it.
You wanna look into this further?
I'd like to do some digging, yeah.
I'm curious what exactly happened to him.
