Sharon can’t reconcile the Mariah she knows with the Mariah who took Dom. We’re not dealing with the Mariah we know, Tessa points out that she’s a very different person now. ‘Honestly, it scares the hell out of me’.
Noah loves Sienna and wants to be wherever she is. Nick wonders if it’s infatuation – what do you have in common? Clubs, music and movies. Nick’s unimpressed. She’s older than you, he questions her motives and believes Noah will wake up one day and realize this relationship isn’t what he thinks it is.
We both grew up on the wrong side of the tracks, but Claire didn’t grow up in the lap of luxury, Holden believes ‘she had it worse than us’. Audra thinks Claire’s pretty comfortable on the pedestal she was hoisted on to.
Claire can relate – she didn’t think this life was for her either; her Aunt Jordan was a lot like Matt. She wonders if Sienna’s ready to share what she knows about Holden’s past with Audra.
Sharon hates the idea of Tessa being afraid of Mariah. Why go after someone else’s child instead of Aria? She wonders if someone planted this idea in Mariah’s head.
Unlike his father, Nick doesn’t want to get involved in Noah’s affairs. You’re attracted to women who need rescuing (like me) but have you thought about what your future looks like? What Noah has with Sienna is different from what he had with Tessa, Ally and even Audra.
From Audra’s experience with the Newmans, there’s little tolerance for outsiders. Claire’s like the kids she knew growing up. She should focus on her great life instead of poking into mine. You went after Kyle, Holden reminds – maybe you can find common ground with Claire over your similar pasts, he suggests.
Sienna has no proof, just a hunch that there’s more to the story than a stolen wallet. She suspects something a lot worse went down at the club. Matt’s art-dealer friend kept coming in looking for Audra, then abruptly vanished one day.
Nick gets it – Sienna’s ‘unique’ but doesn’t think it a good idea for Noah to uproot his life and move to LA for her. You think Sienna’s a threat to me, but Noah’s mind is made up. Once things are sorted out with Mariah, he’ll go to LA with Sienna.
Sharon and Tessa wonder if Ian was the catalyst for all this. She met a man who reminded her of Ian (her twisted father figure) and snapped. Taking a child is exactly what he did to her. Was she planning this from the start? Is that why she pushed us away? She sounded terrified when she called me, Sharon remembers. We MUST find out what her plan is and where she’s going.
Not a chance in hell, Audra scoffs at the idea of baring her soul to Claire. I hate that little princess. Look at you twisting yourself into knots to protect her, she mocks Holden. Agreeing that Claire can’t find out what happened in LA, Audra warns ‘all bets are off if she comes after me again’.
The art dealer went missing and no one looked for him? Claire asks Sienna what his name was. Yes, she’d like to do some digging; she’s curious about what happened to him.
