At Sharon’s, Noah’s panicking that he’s not out looking for Sienna. As his mom tries to calm him, Adam shows up. Nick filled him in on the

Matt Clark situation, so he’s there to offer his help. Making matteer worse, he questions whether Sienna can be trusted.

 

 

Noah defends her, but Adam thinks that either she’s not that bright or it’s a rather bizarre coincidence that she managed to hook up with him after marrying the man who tormented his parents.

They’re sure he has no idea what they have planned for him and expect that he will slip up because he assumes he can out-think

them.They ponder whether they can trust Sienna. Nick has to; his son loves her. Matt texts, asking to meet. They guess Matt would notice Nick bringing back-up, so Victor hatches another idea.At the overlook, Nick meets Matt, who says his price has gone up. One million won’t cut it. He wants five. If that can be guaranteed within the hour, Noah can have his “trollop” back. Nick claims that he can’t lay his hands on

that amount of money that fast, but Matt doesn’t buy it. After showing him the video that proves Sienna is still breathing, he warns Nick he will receive a very unpleasant video if he doesn’t get his money fast.They ponder whether they can trust Sienna.
