At the Abbott mansion, a frantic Kyle hung up the phone. He babbled to Jack and Diane about how Claire had stopped by to drop off Harrison's lucky charm, and the boy had wanted her to read him a bedtime story. Kyle added that he'd called the police, and Jack told him to slow down and explain what had happened. Summer suddenly burst in and referenced Kyle's message about Harrison going missing. Kyle informed her that he'd looked all over house, but "they" were both gone. He revealed that Claire had taken Harrison.

Summer headed upstairs to look for her son. "Dammit, why did I trust her with him?" Kyle lamented. Jack asked if Kyle had tried calling Claire, and Kyle reported that his calls had gone to voicemail. Summer returned and reported that Harrison's bed was made and that his favorite things were still there. Summer angrily faced Kyle. "How could you let this happen? How could you let that psychopath take our son?" she spat.

Jack indicated that his security team was working with the police to comb the grounds. Diane offered a despondent Summer some water, but Summer whimpered that she just wanted her son back. Summer wailed that Harrison thought he was a big kid, but he was sweet and innocent. She continued that he thought everyone in the world was good, but there were bad people out there who did bad things, even if they seemed harmless -- like Claire.

Diane pondered why Claire would want to take Harrison, and Summer testily questioned why Claire had poisoned Summer's dad and grandparents. Jack reminded Summer that it had been Jordan's plan, and Summer demanded to know why everyone gave Claire a pass when Claire had gone along with everything Jordan had done. Diane wondered if they should be prepared for a ransom request. Summer reasoned that Claire didn't need money because she was a Newman who could be set for life.

Traci entered the room and asked why the police were there. Jack explained that Harrison had gone missing while Claire had been reading him a book. Traci protested that she'd been there all night and hadn't seen or heard anything out of the ordinary. Kyle suggested that they have the police review the security footage. Summer asked how long Kyle had chatted with Claire and if they'd been drinking.

Kyle replied that he'd imbibed half a glass of whiskey, and Claire had consumed water. Summer assumed that Claire had needed to stay sober while she'd gotten him drunk as part of her plan to take Harrison. Summer proposed that they check Kyle's drink for poison, and she theorized that Claire had taken Harrison's lucky charm to have an excuse to show up at the Abbott house and get Harrison alone. Summer contemplated how long Claire had been planning the kidnapping.

Summer excoriated Kyle for wanting Claire to be Harrison's nanny, and she snapped that she couldn't be there while Claire was getting farther away with their son. Jack appealed to Summer to stay, but she insisted on getting her own answers, since she couldn't trust Kyle. Summer stormed out. Traci told Kyle not to pay attention to Summer's accusations, since they all knew he wouldn't do anything to put Harrison in harm's way.

Kyle wondered if he'd misread Claire, but Diane pointed out that the Newmans had welcomed her into their family. Kyle countered that Summer had wanted nothing to do with Claire, and he struggled with the possibility that Claire had been playing him all along. Jack thought they had to consider all the possibilities. Kyle recalled Claire's story about how she'd dropped off Harrison's lucky charm because as a kid, she'd had her own good luck charm that Jordan had taken from her.

Kyle recounted that Claire had talked about how happy she was to be free of Jordan's lies and to rebuild her life as a Newman, and her detailed story had seemed to stir up painful memories. Traci knowingly stated that it was the tiny details that made a story sound very real, and Kyle asked if his aunt was saying Claire had been lying to win him over. Traci swore she wasn't implying anything, but she was suggesting they consider it. Kyle regretted that he'd been so gullible.

Jack promised that they would find Harrison, and he hugged Kyle. Diane headed toward the stairs, and Traci scolded that Kyle needed her. Diane asserted that there was an emotionally unstable person upstairs, and Traci was aghast that Diane was suggesting Ashley had done something to harm Harrison. Diane repeated that they had to look at all the possibilities.

Kyle provided the police with Harrison's photo. Diane reported that Ashley was sound asleep, and she admitted that she'd been wrong. Diane thought Traci couldn't blame her for worrying, given how Ashley had been acting. Traci swore that she didn't blame any of them, but she knew Ashley would never harm an innocent child. Diane bemoaned that whoever had Harrison might.

A police officer revealed that a delivery truck had arrived at the mansion late, and Traci realized it had been their regular floral delivery. The officer shared that the truck had been parked by the back entrance for about ten minutes before it had left, but they'd been unable to see the driver. After checking the back of the house, Diane announced that the flowers had been left in a pile outside the door, like someone had tossed them there. Traci exclaimed that it was unusual. Kyle realized there was more going on.

Diane couldn't imagine why a flower delivery person would kidnap Harrison. Kyle surmised that the truck had been a cover, and someone might have targeted Harrison and found Claire by accident. Kyle grappled with whether his instincts had been that bad to leave his son alone with someone who would take him. Jack shared that the police were reaching out to the truck driver. Kyle fretted that someone who had risked everything to kidnap a child for money might freak out if they thought they'd get caught. Jack urged Kyle to stay calm.

At the tack house, Victoria hurried downstairs in response to incessant rapping at the front door, and she was surprised to see Summer there. Summer asked if Claire was there with Harrison, and Victoria shared that Claire had gone to the Abbott mansion to drop off Harrison's good luck charm. Summer announced that Claire had taken Harrison, and they were both missing. Summer yelled Claire's name. Victoria was sure there had been a misunderstanding, and she attempted to call Claire. The call went to voicemail, and Victoria left a message. Summer raced out, and Victoria followed her.

Victoria and Summer arrived at the Newman ranch. Summer recapped how Claire had shown up at the Abbott mansion, and she claimed that Claire had taken Harrison. Victor asked how Summer knew that, and Victoria huffed that it was a leap to blame Claire. Summer cited Claire's history, and she reasoned that Kyle would have heard if someone else had been in the house. Summer contended that she'd been right not to trust Claire, but Nikki concluded that Jordan had been behind it.

Summer argued that Jordan had left town, but Claire had been alone with Harrison at the Abbott house. Summer groused that Claire had been fixated on the boy since she'd met him, but Victoria reasoned that Harrison had been the first cousin Claire had met. Summer accused Claire of stealing Harrison's good luck charm to use as an excuse to get into the Abbott house, knowing everyone would be distracted by the anniversary celebration. Victoria was adamant that Claire would never kidnap a child.

Nikki insisted that Jordan had known about the party, but Summer demanded that they stop giving Claire an out. Summer ranted that the Newmans had let Claire into their lives and home, and Claire had tricked them all again. Victor called Jack and offered to send his head of security over to help find their grandson. Victor indicated that emotions were running high, with Summer blaming Claire. Victor asked what Jack thought. Jack replied that neither he nor Kyle wanted to blame Claire, but they had no other explanation that made sense.

Cole joined the Newmans at the ranch, and he was convinced that Claire would never run off with Jordan willingly. Summer raged that she was sick of them blindly trusting Claire, and she was furious at Kyle for leaving Harrison alone with Claire. Cole asked what Claire's motive had been. Victoria defended that Claire had been focused on overcoming the psychological and emotional abuse she'd suffered at Jordan's hand, and Claire had tried to draw close to her true family -- including Summer. Victoria added that Claire had been trying hard to be Summer's friend, and Summer supposed it had been to get closer to Harrison.

Summer questioned why Claire was obsessed with working with children, and she speculated that Claire had stolen a kid to have a do-over of the childhood she'd never had or to punish another kid the way she'd been punished. Victoria sympathized that Summer was terrified, but Summer's theories didn't make sense. Summer snapped that psychopaths didn't make sense, and she reiterated that the Newmans were blind with Claire, enabling and coddling her after she'd tried to kill them. Summer guessed that they'd forgotten all about Claire's misdeeds because they felt bad that she'd felt abandoned, and they were desperate to accept her back into the family.

Summer bellowed that Victor wanted them to be a big, happy family, but they were blinded by their feelings, and her son was the one paying the price. Summer stressed that she'd learned everything she knew about family from them, and she wondered if any of them cared about Harrison or if they were too busy defending Claire. Victor ordered Summer to look at him, and he reminded her that no one was more careful than he was about people who entered their circle. Victor swore that he would never do anything to hurt his family, and Harrison was part of it.

Victor admitted that he'd been suspicious about Claire, and he thought the fact that he'd accepted Claire should give Summer assurance that Claire hadn't kidnapped Harrison. Summer glared defiantly at him, but she acknowledged that her grandparents loved Harrison. Victoria pointed out that the lad had been her stepson before he'd been Summer's. Victoria pointed out that both Harrison and Claire were in danger.

Summer barked that they'd let Claire into the family, and Claire had Harrison, so it was on all of them to do what it took to find Claire. Summer begged them to appeal to Claire's empathy for children to get her to return Harrison home and then make sure Claire never had the opportunity to hurt a child again -- or Summer would never forgive any of them. Summer stalked out.

Nikki maintained that Jordan had been behind the incident, but she thought Summer hadn't wanted to hear it because it was too terrifying to imagine. Nikki referred to the timing, noting that they'd expected the party to draw Jordan out. Victoria contemplated how Jordan could have planned to kidnap Claire and Harrison when there had been no way of knowing that Claire would go to the Abbott house. Nikki figured that Jordan had simply pivoted when she'd realized she hadn't been able to infiltrate the party, so she'd found another way to get to them. Cole confirmed that it sounded like something his aunt would do.

Victoria guessed that Claire had been Jordan's target, but Harrison had ended up being collateral damage. Nikki reluctantly considered the possibility that Summer was right, and Claire had done it because Jordan had been able to draw her back in. Victoria and Cole were appalled at the insinuation that Claire had been part of Jordan's plan. Nikki clarified that she didn't want to believe it, but she doubted Jordan would have been able to pull it off without Claire.

Victoria swore that Claire would never take Harrison, and it was just another one of Jordan's twisted revenge plots. Cole figured that their minds were racing because of the shock, and they were looking for some logic. Victor remarked that there was no logic where Jordan was concerned.

Later, Jack relayed that the floral delivery service hadn't been able to get in touch with the driver, and the truck had been abandoned on the roadside outside town. Kyle believed it proved the truck had been hijacked by someone who'd had a plan. Traci imagined that the person had been tracking their deliveries, and they might still be watching the house. Diane shuddered at the thought of Harrison being scared and alone, and she clung to Jack.

Summer returned, and Kyle told her about the delivery truck. Summer asked how Claire had gotten there earlier, and Kyle assumed Claire had taken a rideshare. Summer pointed out that Claire could have taken the delivery truck and parked it out back to make a quick escape with Harrison. Kyle explained that the truck had only been there for ten minutes, and Claire had been there a lot longer, so the kidnapper had driven onto the property.

Summer argued that Claire still could have been involved, and she mentioned that Nikki suspected Jordan had been behind it. Summer added that Claire had been Jordan's loyal accomplice before, and they had to face the possibility that the duo was back at it again. Summer recommended that the police check Claire's calls and messages and be on the lookout for all three people. Kyle's phone pinged, and he announced that it was a message from Claire. "I have Harrison. You can keep him safe by helping my aunt. She knows the Newmans will never let her go free, except you and Summer. Details to follow," he read aloud.

Victor answered a call from Jack, who provided an update about the text message from Claire. Nikki apologized for upsetting Victoria, who insisted that Claire had been happy to be part of the family at the party. Cole recalled watching Claire listening to the toasts, and he'd seen how much it had meant for her to be there. Victor revealed that Claire had Harrison, and there were some demands involving Jordan that they were expected to follow.

Victoria took the phone from Victor and asked Jack if he'd heard Claire's voice. Jack reported that Claire had sent a text message, and Victoria argued that Jordan might have Claire's phone. Victoria asserted that Jordan was trying to manipulate them all again and that Jordan had taken Claire hostage, too. Victor told Jack that he was on his way over to figure things out together, and he instructed his family to stay there. "I'm going to get that woman once and for all. Had enough of this nonsense!" he growled as he headed out.

Victoria considered whether there had been signs in Claire that Victoria hadn't seen. Victoria refused to believe Claire would hurt Harrison, but she wondered if Jordan really had gotten to Claire. Cole begged Victoria not to go down that road, since Jordan made people question their instincts. He insisted that they knew Claire's heart. Victoria agreed, but she groaned that it meant the worst could be true, and Claire could be Jordan's victim again. Cole held Victoria close while Nikki hovered near the bar.

Meanwhile, Summer begged Kyle to call Claire and demand she return Harrison. Kyle noted that Jordan might be threatening Claire or that Jordan was using Claire's phone without Claire's knowledge. Summer blasted him for not accepting that he'd been wrong about Claire, and she angrily asked why he continued to defend her. "Because I can't stand knowing that my son is alone and terrified with two lunatics! That I put my son in danger by trusting the wrong person!" Kyle blurted out.

Kyle regretted that Harrison had trusted Claire and called her his friend, and Kyle had let it happen. Kyle pleaded with Summer to consider that if Claire hadn't kidnapped Harrison, then the boy had an ally to look out for him and make sure he got home safely. Summer hissed that it was wishful thinking, and the truth was that their son needed them. Jack reasoned that the text message told them that with or without Claire, Jordan was willing to negotiate. Traci encouraged everyone to look at it as a positive sign.

Traci was glad to hear Victor was on the way, since he knew Jordan and what they were dealing with. Meanwhile, Kyle assured Summer that Harrison was his world, and he would die for his son. Kyle mused that the day he'd found out Harrison was his son, his life had changed in the best way possible, and he was lucky to have Harrison. Kyle added that Harrison was lucky to have Summer as his mom, and he vowed to move heaven and earth to get their son through it.

Kyle promised that whatever the demands were, they'd meet them with no questions asked to get Harrison home. "You damn well better," Summer sniped. She added that it had happened because Kyle had made the choice to trust Claire, and if anything happened to their son, it was on Kyle.

In a motel room, Jordan set down the phone and smiled down at Harrison. He whined that he didn't know her, and he wanted his mom and dad. Jordan sweetly told him that his parents didn't want him anymore. "I'm your Aunt Jordan, and I'm going to take care of you from now on," she declared.

• Victor says he's going to pull down the curtain on Jordan once and for all.
