Phyllis stops her from calling Daniel and tells her she’s the only one who can know she’s alive.

They can’t let him know because he might want to do the right thing.

Summer tells her she’s hurt so many people but that won’t matter to anyone that loves her. The only thing that matters is that she’s alive.

They planned to put Diane is prison. When she came to her senses and tried to back out, he threatened her and was going to kill her.

Phyllis admits she’s been watching her and saw how much pain she was in. That’s why she wanted to meet with her.

Summer is adamant that she and Daniel don’t hate her and are on her side.

Her doubts she will feel that way when she finds out what she did. “How guilty are you?” Summer asks.

Phyllis claims what she did isn’t important. Summer guesses the poison and crash were fake. Diane is innocent.

Her mother doesn’t like that. She claims everything Diane touches dies and she puts wedges between people.

Summer points out she just faked her own death like Diane. Phyllis couldn’t go through with it and wouldn’t have done it to a child.

Her daughter thinks she has her priorities out of whack and thinks she needs to come home. She tells her Stark is dead and they can straighten everything out.

“They found him? I thought I’d have more time,” Phyllis says. “I’m the reason he’s dead.”

Slumping on a bench, Summer asks if she killed him. Her mother confirms it.

Stark threatened her and was going to kill her with scissors, but she clawed him and then grabbed the scissors. Then he was dead.

She cleaned the room, and wrapped him in a shower curtain. Now she can’t go home.

Summer thinks they can still go to the police but her mother says that won’t happen.

If it comes out that she’s alive, Diane will win and she will pay. She’s sorry she put her in this position.

Sobbing Summer is scared she will never see her again. Her mom promises that will never happen. She can either save he mother-in-law, or her.

Phyllis asks for time to come up with a plan. She’ll love “supergirl” no matter what she decides to do.

After hugging her, she runs off.

At Society, Nate and Audra go over his schedule and his plans for a business trip.

She’s pleased he trusts her enough to leave her in charge but would like to go with him.

He tells her he needs to head to LA on work.

When he gets back, he’d like them to go on vacation for a week.

She asks who he is going to LA with. He claims he’s going alone.

She thinks it’s really sweet of him to want to go away with her. After he leaves to pack, she stares with a smile.
