Adam drops by Sharon’s to check on her and Noah, wish them Happy New Year, and offer to help (as he knows Matt’s kidnapped Sienna) Sharon appreciates the offer but Nick has it under control.
At the main house, Nick updates his Dad that he offered Matt a million for Sienna’s safe return, but hasn’t heard from him.
** Happy New Year! Yesterday’s show was a ‘classic’/repeat, so I didn’t feel the need to recap it.
As Annie watches, Matt rouses Sienna (handcuffed to a bed) for a few seconds to take a video that will guarantee his future; which his two-timing wife won’t get to have.
Running into one another at CL’s, Daniel and Tessa listen to an indie band of Lucy’s on shared ear buds before going to the patio for a chat.
In a motel room Mariah mopes over a photo of herself with Tessa and Aria; your Mommy’s better at singing lullabies than I am. She’s unable to sleep due to nightmares about Ian (who appears on cue)
Nick can be counted on to step up and protect his family, Adam ruffles Noah’s feathers (he feels he should be saving Sienna)
Matt being backed into a corner makes him more dangerous, Nick’s plan is to find out where he’s keeping Sienna.
Tessa didn’t bring Daniel to the privacy of the patio to say she has regrets – but to kiss him. She’s not sure ‘what comes next’ but is grateful not to be alone. He guesses she’s thinking about Mariah.
Ian tells Mariah to look in the mirror – you intentionally pushed Tessa and Aria away for a reason. We both know it has to be this way – dig deep and do what needs to be done, release that part of your life forever. Looking at her reflection, Mariah cries.
Adam thinks Noah ‘admirable’ and Sienna ‘nice enough’. I love her! Noah takes offence. Can you really trust this woman? Adam finds it too ‘convenient’ that she’s married to the man who tormented his parents for decades.
Yes, Matt will absolutely hurt Sienna. Nick must bring her home because Noah loves her. Can she be trusted? Victor also wonders.
Maybe Sienna used you to make Matt jealous, Adam continues to piss Noah off. She’s tough as nails but kind and smart! You don’t have doubts anymore, right Mom??? Sharon blinks, a deer in headlights.
Not sure what happened with Ally, Nick feels obligated to help the woman his son now claims to love. Getting a text from Matt, Nick declines security – he’ll see that coming. Victor has another idea.
Tell me you see what I see, Ian coerces. Continuing to cry, the only thing keeping Mariah hanging on is the thought of returning to Tessa and Aria – they’re my life. Your purpose lies elsewhere, Ian calls Tessa a ‘detour’ and Aria’s not even your flesh and blood. He’ll help her say good-bye.
Tessa wanted/needed her night with Daniel – I need you. I need to feel whole again, for myself and Aria. Having tried everything to get through to Mariah, Tessa’s called a lawyer to start divorce proceedings.
