Claire says that Kyle said the same thing.

Victoria figures Summer must have noticed that too and has probably lightened up a bit.

Clairre talks to Victoria.
CBS

Claire says she wouldn’t go that far… Summer treated her more like an employee than a relative, and it didn’t help when Kyle told her about Jordan being alive… Summer accused her of holding back information.

Claire doesn’t need her mom to talk her boss/cousin about it! She says Kyle came to her rescue, but it didn’t have much impact on Summer.

Kyle talks to Summer.
CBS

Summer says the timing is terrible… Jordan’s most recent targets are hanging out together every day! She doesn’t think it’s safe; they should let Claire go before Harrison gets more attached to her.

Chancellor Park

Summer meets Chance in the park and asks if he found out anything about Jordan.

Chance talks to Summer.
CBS

Summer nods… Victor would probably be raising hell if they weren’t.

Chance asks why she didn’t talk to Victor about this… Why ask him?

Summer says her family are Claire’s biggest fans. Whenever she tries to bring up Claire’s history, they tell her she’s being unfair, but she’s really only trying to protect her son! Chance is her “impartial hero.”

Summer and Chance.
CBS

Chance says he’s not that impartial… He’s always on her side! He says it’s good news, though… Jordan isn’t a threat anymore, but she doesn’t seem very relieved about it.

Summer says Claire knew that Jordan had been found; she showed up to her first day at work and didn’t say a word about it to Kyle or Summer because Victor wanted to be the one to tell Summer, and Claire wanted to respect his wishes.

Chance asks if she agrees with that decision.

Summer says she thinks it’s Claire’s first day on the job, yet she’s already keeping secrets! Jordan may not be able to hurt Harrison, but the person that she groomed since birth now has direct access to her son!
