At Crimson Lights, Phyllis is visibly upset over Harrison’s kidnapping, expressing her sympathy for Summer, who is heartbroken.

They reminisce about the time when Summer unexpectedly became a mother and Phyllis embraced her new role as a glamorous grandmother.

During the conversation, Nick chimes in, recalling his initial concerns about the sudden changes in their family dynamics.

CBS

She was a wild child, headstrong and defiant.

She stole cars and married men who were far from suitable.

Always acting out, she was convinced in her own mind that she was right.

CBS

“Even when she was in the wrong,” Phyllis agrees.

They think she’s strong and kept her head together.

Nick assures his ex that Harrison’s coming home.

CBS

Jack paces the Abbott mansion. Diane wakes up and rushes downstairs.

She didn’t mean to sleep so long. Jack tells her Kyle got a lead on Harrison.

He’s combing the neighborhood. Diane worries what Jordan will do if Kyle confronts her.

Jack reassures his wife. He won’t act without backup.

CBS

At the red door motel, Kyle hugs Harrison.

Summer rushes in and holds her boy.

They ask where Claire is but Harrison doesn’t know.

When Summer tries to leave with him, Harrison stops her.

CBS

The witch told him that she didn’t want him anymore.

Summer promises that’s not true.

They love him and he’s their entire world.

He’s the best thing that has ever happened to him.

CBS

The woman was lying to him, she says.

They’ve been searching for him since she took him. She hugs him.

He asks why she said it. Summer says she’s evil and wanted to hurt them but he’s safe now.

Harrison hugs her.

CBS

Kyle returns. There’s no sign of Claire.

Summer’s not surprised.

She hopes both her and Jordan are locked up forever.

CBS

At the Tack House, Cole has made pasta for him and Victoria.

She appreciates it but knows he’s suffering too. He needs to keep busy.

Victoria finds the meal delicious.

CBS

They agree they’ve changed since they knew one another.

He calls her stronger and more resilient.

He admits he never thought he’d wind up back in Genoa City and with a grown daughter.

Victoria calls her a gift.

CBS

At the ranch, Nikki paces, looks around and clutches at her vodka flask.

She shoves it back into her pocket.

Victor appears at the door and asks what happened with Jordan.

CBS

Where was he? Victor confesses he followed her to an alley in town.

Nikki’s pissed. “You followed me?” Victor says, “You bet!”

Of course, when he heard she was meeting with That Jordan Woman behind his back.

Nikki yells that she’s the one who needs to end this.

She didn’t tell him because she knew he’d talk her out of it. “You bet,” he repeats.

CBS

He blames one person. “That Jordan broad.”

Nikki thinks she can fight for herself with that monster.

She didn’t show up, anyway.

Victor says she did. He tells her she’s dead. “Yes, my baby. She’s dead.”

He tried to run away when she saw him and his team and ran across the Galewood River Bridge which is close to the motel there.

CBS

She panicked and slipped and fell over the side of the bridge. “So she drowned,” Nikki says. Victor says yes.

There’s no way she could have survived with that current. “She was probably dead on impact.”

Nikki hopes so but won’t be convinced until the river is dredged.

Victor says the police and his team are searching for her now.

CBS

Back at the Abbott mansion, Diane wants to go help with the search but Jack refuses to put her in danger. Diane can’t just sit there while their grandson is out there. Jack relents.

They grab coats when Kyle, Summer and Harrison stroll in.

CBS

Harrison rushes to his grandpa’s arms and there are cheers all around that he’s home, safe.

Diane hugs him.

She may never let him go.

He’s not hurt but says, “The witch was mean and told me lies but she didn’t hurt me.”

CBS

Summer texts Phyllis with the good news that the kid was found and sends a photo of Harrison snug in his bed.

Nick and Phyllis are so happy and want to go there but Summer wanted him to have time.

Nick’s relieved everything is fine and is grateful Phyllis was there.

“That’s nice,” she says, surprised she was the clam one, the voice of reason for him. ‘I was your hero.” Nick says sure. “We can go with that.”

Jordan better hope she’s in prison because he’ll hunt her down.

CBS

Jack calls Victor to tell him Harrison’s home and Victor whispers it to Nikki while Victor relays to Jack that Jordan is dead and how it happened.

Jack calls it justice and a relief.

CBS

Jack offers help in finding Claire.

Nikki worries.

Jordan knows and she’s dead.

Nikki wonders if she was involved.

Victor denies it. Nikki worries. When will it end? She decides to go tell Victoria and Cole in person.

CBS

Victor calls his wife courageous but asks her not to go rogue again.

He admits Jordan left Harrison alone to meet her and it meant Kyle found Harrison alone.

Nikki’s responsible for getting Harrison home.

They hug and he vows to find Claire.

CBS

Back at the tack house, Victoria and Cole finish dinner. She wants news.

Cole knows she’s protecting Harrison to get them home safe. Victoria agrees.

She doesn’t want to go to the main house especially since she thinks Summer’s there.

How could she think Claire has anything to do with the abduction?

CBS

Cole reminds Victoria that in the heat of the moment, people jump to conclusions.

“She’s a mother, just like you.”

Nikki arrives.

CBS

She tells them that Harrison is home and they don’t yet know where Claire is.

Victoria has a meltdown and Cole tries to calm her.

She gets a call from an unknown caller. They can’t be understood but are trying to say something.

It’s garbled and Victoria hears. “Mom!”

CBS

Back at the Abbott’s, Summer finishes tucking her son in and goes downstairs.

Kyle says they’re having him examined by the pediatrician.

Summer is angry that “that demon” told Harrison they didn’t care about him.

Jack explains that Jordan’s dead. Diane’s shocked and Kyle demands answers.

CBS

Jack repeats how she plunged to her death over the bridge.

Summer’s glad but this isn’t over. “Where’s Claire?”

CBS

Kyle blames himself still though Diane asks him not to.

Summer thinks Claire needs to be held accountable.

Kyle reminds Summer they don’t know facts yet.

Kyle says Harrison didn’t say a word against Claire when they found him.

CBS

Summer argues that he didn’t say much of anything.

Diane is concerned Jordan did something nasty to Claire.

Phyllis and Nick arrive and there are hugs all around.

CBS

They ask how Harrison is when they hear him yelling for his mom and dad.

They run upstairs and Jack tells Nick and Phyllis that Jordan’s dead.

Kyle returns and Phylis says she has words for Claire and calls Kyle a hero.

CBS

Summer comes down with Harrison.

He had a bad dream about the witch lady.

They promise that she will never hurt him.

Neither will Claire, Summer says. “Claire’s in trouble, Mommy. We have to save her.”

CBS

Back at the ranch, Victor goes downstairs to his cellar.

He looks at a few bottles of wine.

CBS

Victor then turns around and says, “Are you settling in?”

CBS

Jordan is behind bars in a makeshift dungeon.

She stands up and glares at Victor.

CBS

Victor smiles and chuckles.

“How do you do?” She starts to yell for help.

He says nobody can hear her.

CBS

He made sure of that, years ago.

There’s no way out except through him.

CBS

He asks where to find his granddaughter and she smirks.
