The episode begins with Kyle meeting Summer at Crimson Lights, where the tension is palpable.
They attempt to discuss their son, Harrison, but old wounds quickly resurface.
Kyle, frustrated, points out that Summer manipulated her grandfather, Victor, to take revenge on him. Summer, however, insists that she sought Victor’s help only to mediate their ongoing disputes.
As their conversation heats up, Kyle accuses Summer of using their son as a pawn and questions her motives. Summer, in turn, demands that Kyle cut ties with Audra, a woman she believes is a negative influence in their lives. Kyle is incredulous, refusing to let Summer dictate his professional relationships. The argument spirals out of control, with both accusing the other of poor parenting decisions, leaving their son caught in the middle.
Meanwhile, Chelsea and Billy share a tender moment in Chancellor Park, discussing their son, Connor, and reflecting on the challenges they’ve faced. Billy expresses concern over Chelsea’s relationship with Adam, who seems to be driven by jealousy and a need to control. Chelsea reassures Billy, but tension remains as Adam continues to meddle in her life, especially when it comes to Connor.
At Newman Media, Victor watches Adam closely, urging him to follow through with a new scheme aimed at destabilizing Billy. Adam, however, is hesitant, torn between loyalty to his father and his moral compass. As the pressure mounts, Adam finds himself in a difficult position, unsure of how far he’s willing to go to satisfy Victor’s demands.
Back at Crimson Lights, the confrontation between Kyle and Summer reaches a boiling point. Summer questions whether Audra holds any sway over Kyle, hinting at deeper issues that could threaten their already strained relationship. Kyle, frustrated and feeling cornered, warns Summer that if she continues down this path, their legal battles over Harrison will only intensify. The episode ends with Kyle storming out, leaving Summer to wonder if their fractured relationship can ever be repaired.
