Jack and Kyle spoke to Harrison in the Abbott Mansion living room about his newfound love of hockey. Kyle played hockey as a child, too, so his son taking up the sport was a great fit. Harrison asked if Claire texted back, and he confirmed that she did. She looked forward to hearing from Harrison once she returned to town. Harrison greatly missed Claire and asked for details about when she'd be back in town. As Harrison and Kyle were leaving, Diane walked into the house, and both she and Jack were concerned for their son's well-being.

Jack didn't know how he and Diane could help Kyle through the pain of potentially losing Claire for good. They summoned Kyle home for the AI program dilemma, but so far, it hadn't been the threat they had anticipated. Diane insisted that they relieve Kyle of his duties in Genoa City, so he can fly back to Los Angeles to fight for his relationship with Claire. They had Kyle come home and told him that they had erred when they brought him back to town. Jack and Diane promised to watch Harrison while Kyle returned to Los Angeles to reclaim the love of his life.

Claire had lunch with Victoria prior to flying back to Genoa City. She felt guilty about leaving for home because of the ongoing ordeal with Noah. Victoria explained that Noah woke up, and he's expected to make a full recovery, so she isn't required to be there. She thought Nick was scared because of how many times this had happened with his children, but thankfully, Nick can rest easy because Noah is better.

Victoria wondered if Claire had gained any new clarity from her trip to Los Angeles, but she wasn't certain. It was a lot to unpack, and part of that included her entanglement with Holden. Claire spent a lot of time with Holden, and in doing so, she learned a great deal about him. He's treated her well, but the secret about him and Audra left her slightly conflicted about what she does and does not want in life. The experience was so different from her life in Genoa City, and although she achieved that and had no regrets, she considered she might've gone too wild.

Claire defended how Holden treated her, and she believed the experience was necessary. She had to be perfect her entire life with no mistakes, and it was something she required to find peace. However, Victoria wondered if the carefree nature of the trip had caused Claire to do something she'd eventually regret. While she didn't have outright regrets, she had some doubts about who she went on the journey with. Although she didn't think Holden was a bad guy, he lives life a bit too fast and loose for her taste. Victoria found him to be a guy who is always surrounded by trouble, and she wanted to be more direct. She said she didn't care about Holden. She asked if her daughter had done something that she'd be unable to come back from. The biggest question Claire faced was who she wanted to spend the next phase of her life with.

Claire made it clear there was no "her and Holden." He's not the one for her at this point in her life. Victoria addressed the elephant in the room and asked where Kyle fit into the equation. She loved Kyle, but she wasn't ready for the type of relationship he wanted. Claire wasn't ready for marriage or cohabitation, and Victoria urged her to tell Kyle how she felt.

Sienna was taken aback by Nick's hostility toward her husband, and she asked him to back off. She threatened to call the police if Nick didn't stay away, which Nick welcomed due to Matt/Mitch's devious past. Sienna asked what Nick was talking about, but Matt/Mitch said, "Who the hell is Matt? 'Cause it sure as hell isn't me!" Nick accused him of playing a game, and despite not knowing how he pulled it off, he warned him that if he didn't stay away from his family, he would kill him. Nick told him to consider that a promise, not a threat.

After Nick stormed out of the club, Sienna looked thoroughly confused as to what she had just witnessed. She asked, "What the hell was that all about?" Mitch asked Sienna what had just happened between him and Nick, but he denied ever knowing him. Mitch acted like Nick was crazy for thinking he was the previously believed to be dead Matt Clark. He spoke to Sienna in a condescending manner, and she accused him of being nasty. Sienna was confused about what she was expected to do or say after someone like Nick came in and believed him to be a different man. Mitch claimed that Nick was a crazy man who belonged in a mental institution.

Sienna began to suspect that something wasn't right about the situation regarding Noah's accident and now this. She told Mitch, "Nick Newman is a very successful businessman, and he comes from one of the most powerful families in this world. He doesn't seem like the kind of person who would just punch a person for no reason." Mitch warned her that she was lucky that he didn't completely let loose on Nick, but if she didn't let it go, he would take action.

Mitch wanted to put everything behind them, but she couldn't pretend Nick didn't attack him. She knew there was more to the story, and she asked if he knew the Newman family before they met. Mitch paused and asked her to divulge the truth about her relationship with Noah before he shared his own past. Sienna speculated that Mitch had ulterior motives regarding his sudden interest in mentoring Noah.

Nick returned to the hospital and asked Sharon why he wasn't in his room. Nick confirmed that Mitch was Matt Clark and that he punched him in the face. He reiterated his threat to Matt and believed the message to be received loud and clear. Neither Nick nor Sharon thought Sienna was involved, but while at the club, Nick learned the crash occurred very close to Matt and Sienna's home. Detective Burrow was at The Shadow Room when Nick arrived, and from what Nick observed, he believed he was a real cop. Nick didn't know what Matt's endgame was, but he believed that he was involved in what happened to Noah.

Sharon couldn't understand why he waited so long to target their family, and more so, why Matt set his sinister sights on Noah. They returned to Noah's bedside, and he apologized for putting them through another harrowing ordeal. He demanded answers about what led to his accident, and Sharon tried to pass it off as just that. Noah caught on that his parents were more aware of what had happened than they were letting on. Noah's mind blanked about the night of the accident, and hearing that security was being added to his room made him more frazzled. Nick said he'd let him know more after they spoke to his doctor to ensure it was safe to do so.

Nick and Sharon spoke to the doctor about their concerns about sharing details of Noah's accident. They weren't sure whether to share any information with him, but the doctor encouraged them to disclose everything they knew. He didn't want them to speculate, and if it upset him, Noah would hold back. Noah's asking for information, so he deserves to have it, but it should be revealed gradually. The doctor had some good news for the family, as it was time to remove the bandages from Noah's face and reveal his mostly healed appearance.

After the reveal, Noah got weird about Allie coming to see him, and Nick picked up on it. He knew something was off, but Noah was ready for more information about the night of his accident. They asked if he knew anything about Mitch, Sienna, or the Shadow Room. He admitted he knew them, and he met Mitch in London, but he never said anything because he wanted it to be a surprise. Noah flashed back to a previous night with Sienna, where the two passionately kissed across the club.
