Running into Audra at the outdoor cafe, Holden informs that he’s meeting Claire – and isn’t buying Audra’s claim that she’s no longer bothered by ‘Little Miss Muffet’.
Sharon cries about Noah leaving abruptly and Mariah kidnapping Dom (which may not have happened if she went to Boston) What’s wrong? Noah asks when finding his Mom crying in his Dad’s arms. What’s not Mom’s fault???
Yes, this is about Devon’s visit, Nick asks to speak to Noah in private. Quickly agreeing, Sienna’s off for a walk around the grounds.
Meeting at CL’s, both Sharon and Tessa are in shock and wish this wasn’t what it looks like. Did the clinic do this to Mariah? Tessa wonders if her wife has ‘completely snapped’.
Holden knows that Claire still gets to Audra. Why is she your trigger? Audra refuses to let Claire get to her – she won’t win.
Having run into her at the stables, Claire’s brought Sienna to the main house to chat. Is Noah going back to LA too? Sienna’s lacklustre answer gives Claire the sense that it’s not what she wants.
Growing up poor, Audra used to steal the clothes she couldn’t afford. She refuses to be treated like that again. Holden’s sorry – but Claire’s not like the rich kids who used to tease you.
Explaining that Mariah’s been struggling – and has now kidnapped Dom, Nick asks Noah not to leave. Your Mom needs your support. Please, stay for her.
Asked her opinion as a therapist, Sharon doesn’t WANT to believe Mariah’s had a complete breakdown. Maybe it’s a mistake; my daughter would never hurt that child. The woman Tessa married wouldn’t either. Don’t blame yourself – she pushed us away.
Holden’s sorry that Audra was bullied – but it’s not right for her to bully Claire. She’s not a rich brat; that fact that she’s dating me proves that.
Sienna loves Noah but not all this wealth and opulence. I got lost in his backyard; I’d lose myself in his world. If you love each other, Claire thinks it could work – if you wanted to try.
Noah can stay as long as his mother needs him, until the situation with Mariah’s resolved. He regrets not checking in and wants to be a meaningful part of the family – from LA. Why do you think it’s the right place for you? Nick asks.
