At Crimson Lights, Sally pays Jack a compliment on Jabot’s new mascara. He notices she’s in a remarkably good mood and wonders the reason.

At Society, Summer tells Kyle that the call she took earlier was from Angela Marchetti, who offered her a coveted position in the company. Kyle’s happy she’s being noticed. Summer says it will take her career to the next level. Kyle replies, “You mean ‘could’ right?” He’s stunned to hear that she’s going to take it and reminds her that her whole life is there. “Why would you even consider it?” Summer pleads, “Because I need to get away from Genoa City!” She reminds him they’ve been here before. Kyle argues they can face anything. Summer told herself that until Tara and Harrison came into their lives. She has to trust her instincts this time; she’s getting a bad feeling again.

Kyle protests — she told him repeatedly that she was okay with everything. Summer was pushing away her gut feelings and claims pushing up the wedding was a desperate act. The reality is that she can’t see herself raising a child with him who is the product of a woman who is still part of his life… a woman he clearly still has feelings for! Kyle argues that Tara likes Summer, who has been telling him she was fine with everything. Summer insists they’ve been sharing close intimate moments — she walked in on him telling Tara he wants her in Genoa City. Kyle explains it’s what’s best for Harrison — Summer is the only woman he loves. Summer won’t stand in the way of him being with his son. Kyle decides he’ll go with her to Milan or fly back and forth. Summer believes he would resent her for making him miss out on special moments with Harrison. She’s being realistic. Summer cries, “That’s why I’m taking this job. So I can live the life that I want and you can have the life you need to.” Kyle, floored, says there has to be another way. Summer protests, “I can’t.” She says she’s doing the best for everyone and flies out of the restaurant.

On the coffee house patio, Denise Tolliver informs Devon and Amanda that she accessed Richard’s old phone records. He didn’t call anyone at Newman in the days before he died, but there were calls with Sutton and Naya’s cellphone. The call lasted over five minutes. Amanda’s shocked. Naya swore she didn’t take his calls and never spoke to him. Tolliver thinks it could be crucial to her case. Amanda adds, “And very upsetting.” She can’t get over the secret-keeping. Denise hopes she gets answers. Once alone, Devon admits he’s not surprised to hear Naya lied. Amanda wonders if she learned he found out about the pregnancy and came clean. She could have told him he had two daughters, or told him nothing. She needs to look her in the eye and demand the truth.

In her suite, Amanda looks at a photo of her father while admitting to Devon that it’s been harder than she thought to treat this like any other case. She knows she would have loved him. Devon asks what she’d say to him if he were standing there right now. Amanda tears up. “Probably a combination of ‘thank you’ and ‘I’m sorry’.” It means so much to know he looked for her; that she mattered. She laments her family lying to her from the beginning and feels she’s let Richard down. Devon argues that they let her down. She hasn’t stopped fighting to find out what happened to her father, which proves how strong she is. Amanda questions if she’s strong enough to walk away from what’s left of her family. Devon assures her that whether Naya lies to her again or tells her the truth, she’ll be just fine. Naya arrives and Devon goes.

Naya admits she almost didn’t come; Amanda sounded angry. Amanda points out she was threatening at their last meeting. Naya wonders if she’s reconsidered Sutton’s case. Amanda says the depends how she answers her questions. She asks if Naya spoke to her father before he died. “Did you tell him about me?” She lets Naya know she has phone records and they talked for five minutes. Naya finally admits he reached out to her. He claimed to have confirmation that she’d been pregnant and said someone at his job steered him toward an investigator. She offered him money to let it go but he was insulted and disgusted. Richard said to hell with Sutton and all he wanted was his daughters. “He knew I had twins.” Amanda knows Naya never would have kept this call from Sutton — she would have told him Richard knew everything. “You ran straight to daddy.”

Suddenly, Amanda realizes that Sutton had Richard killed to protect the secret, and reels. “My. God. Sutton was willing to commit murder to keep Hilary and me a secret!” She exclaims again, “Oh my God!” Naya protests, “Amanda…” Amanda hollers, “Don’t say my name!” Naya insists she wasn’t lying when she told her Sutton didn’t kill her father. “Your grandfather is not that kind of man, you have to believe me.” Amanda seethes, “I don’t believe you. I don’t believe a damn word coming out of your mouth.”

Summer warns her father not to go there. She insists she can’t live like an outsider while Kyle and Tara raise their child. “Do not blame Kyle for my decision.
