She’s planned this thing down to the smallest detail and the only person who will suffer consequences is Adam. She’s removing him from her equation and then she’ll reveal her recovery and start a new life with Connor.

Kyle’s heard more believable science fiction. Sally points out Tara was connected to a man with money and power, but that’s not why Kyle was interested in her. She needles that if Tara had been available Kyle would still be with her. She croons, “Kyle, Tara, and baby makes three.” Kyle barks, “That’s enough!” Sally knows he’s thought about this while laying next to Summer; she hit a nerve. Kyle fumes that she’s playing with fire. Sally advises him to leave her and Jack alone and get his own chaos in order.

Adam’s eyes fall to his tablet. He checks it and realizes it’s synced with his phone. “Has Chloe been anywhere near this thing?” Chelsea blinks, “No.” Adam muses that the culprit would have to have access to his life and devices. Chelsea thinks, “You can’t even bring yourself to say it because is just can’t be possible, can it?” Adam continues that it has to be someone who knows Sharon is an issue for them.
