Theo lets Kyle know he’s been doing well with Dina’s business, but he’s there because he ran into someone from their past — Tara Locke. Kyle’s expression changes and Sally muses, “Oh, looks like you remember her.” Theo remarks on how serious things were between them and adds, “About as serious as you can get considering the two of you have a child together.” Kyle’s floored.

Sally wonders if Kyle slept with Tara and walked away when she got pregnant… or didn’t he know she was pregnant? Kyle denies it’s true and points out Tara would never have confided in Theo. Theo concedes she only tolerated him, but he happened to see her in New York and she introduced him to little Harrison. He adds it’s been three years and nine months since Tara and Kyle last saw one another and the boy has Kyle’s dimples. “I wonder what the Locke-Ness Monster would have to say about that? Not to mention Summer.”
