In the Abbott mansion, Ashland denies that Kyle is Harrison’s father and calls it a ploy. Kyle insists it’s legitimate and Ashland urges him to open the envelope. Just then, Summer rushes into the house and takes in the scene. After Kyle opens it, he hands Locke the document to see for himself. Stunned, he turns to Tara, who says, “Ash, I’m so sorry.” He tells her not another word and walks out. Summer observes to Kyle, “So it’s true, you’re Harrison’s father.” Kyle offers Tara a drink and wonders what they should do next. Tara feels they need to explain things to Harrison since Ashland won’t hesitate to lash out or bad mouth her. Summer can’t believe she wants to do this now — Kyle just found out and there hasn’t even been time for a conversation yet about what this is going to look like or his role in Harrison’s life. Summer’s overruled and Jack suggests they give Tara and Kyle space. Kyle apologizes to Summer, but he has to look out for his son first.

Once alone with Tara, Kyle asks how they explain to a boy Harrison’s age that his life is about to change. She says they need to make it simple enough for him to grasp.

Tara would like Ashland to continue to have a role if he wishes, but she’d like to stay in Genoa City so Kyle and his son can bond. She warns if he wants to be in Harrison’s life he has to be all in.

She will ensure she’s well taken care of, and reveals that they’re getting a new person in their family. Harrison learns he has another dad — Kyle — who is so excited to get to know him better. The boy asks, “Two dads?” Kyle kneels down in front of Harrison and talks about the things they both like. Tara thinks they should come up with a special name for Kyle; not ‘father’ because he has one of those. “How about ‘daddy’?” Harrison tries it out. Kyle grins; it works for him.

At Society, Ashland’s on the phone saying he wants another paternity test to ensure this isn’t a hoax, and needs to find out what his rights are. He disconnects when Jack walks in.

In Amanda’s suite, she updates Imani that she tracked down the P.I. Richard was working with to find his child, which will prove he had a legitimate reason for reaching out. Imani warns she brought their grandfather up to speed and he’s not on board with her new strategy. Amanda questions Sutton conferring with Imani behind her back. Imani explains that he would never expose Naya’s painful history to help himself. Amanda’s acting not as Naya’s daughter, but as his attorney. Imani wants her to put the blame on someone at Newman Enterprises. That was her original theory, so she needs to figure it out. Imani suggests that Richard was taking money from someone under the table to finance the search for his child. He could still have been involved in a blackmail scheme. Amanda will know more once the private investigator gets back to her. Imani learns Amanda still intends to keep quiet about her connection to the family. Imani suggests they get lunch… and not talk about work or family. Amanda wholeheartedly agrees.

At Society, Imani and Amanda realize they took some of the same courses in college as Nate walks in. Amanda introduces Imani as her friend, then steps away to take a call.

Tara isn’t getting her hopes up where he’s concerned — she knows he wants to punish her by taking away her son. Jack promises Tara they won’t let that happen. After, Jack shows Harrison how to wear Kyle’s old baseball mitt and tells him he’s his grandpa. It makes him very special in his life.

Kyle joins Summer in the hotel suite and tells her he made a full commitment to be a father to his son. It’s what he needed to do. Summer understands and asks how Harrison reacted. Kyle shares it went well, but it has to be as surreal for the boy as it is for him. Summer comforts Kyle, who couldn’t get through this without her. Summer sighs, “Then it’s a good thing you don’t have to.” Kyle’s unsure how to be a father, but Summer has total faith in him. She seeks his assurance that nothing will change for them. Kyle promises they’ll always be okay. They share a deep kiss.

At Devon’s place, Nate drops off some case studies for Moses, and fishes to find out more about Amanda’s friend, Imani.
