A Shell-Shocked Sharon Spills to Nick About Matt Clark — and Claire Expresses Regret
At the Abbott manse, Jack and Kyle enthuse over Harrison’s Halloween night and then discuss Victor’s plans to torpedo Jabot. This quickly turns to Kyle having to leave Claire in LA, and they rehash the issues. Kyle fears he’s lost her.
After Kyle whines about Holden and Audra, Jack advises him to stand back and let Claire sort things out on her own. Kyle tells him that Claire never responded to his text of Harrison in his costume. His son was so hurt and constantly asks where she is. Jack says the ball is in Claire’s court and there’s nothing he can do. Kyle thinks there is something: prove Holden isn’t who Claire thinks he is. It’s risky, but he’ll do it.

Does Claire Have Regrets?
After sex in Claire’s hotel room, Holden tells her she was amazing. Claire admits it may have been the first time she truly let herself go and assures him she has no regrets. Holding his hand, she declares that she’s a new person. They wonder if he should stay the night and if her family will interrupt. Once he gets dressed, she walks him out, kissing him at the door.

Alone, Claire flashes back to the sex and then to asking Kyle to stop smothering her. When she checks her phone, she sees the photo her ex sent her of Harrison in his costume. Soon, Victoria shows up and advises Claire that it’s okay to focus on the here and now. That’s what Cole would have told her to do. Claire admits that Holden has been showing her a new world, but she’s gutted about missing Halloween with Harrison; she never wanted to hurt him. Her mom urges her not to feel guilty and learn to separate her emotions.
What’s Happening at The Shadow Club?
Outside The Shadow Room, Sharon hollers, “This is impossible! Matt, you’re dead!” at Sienna’s husband, Mitch. He says she’s confused and pushes past her as the bouncer comes out and bars her from entering.What Will Sharon Tell Nick?
Sharon rushes back to the hospital, still shaking. Warning that he’ll think she’s crazy, she explains to Nick that she saw Matt Clark. He reminds her he’s been dead for decades. They sit down, and she recaps what just happened. They assume that he must be Sienna’s husband, Mitch. Nick thinks its possible Matt could have been involved in Noah’s crash. It wouldn’t be the first time that psycho made their lives a nightmare. Nick, of course, needs to confront this guy himself. (There’s already a big problem with this storyline; read all about it.)
Sharon and Nick return to The Shadow Room, but the doorman won’t let them in, even when Nick offers a bribe. The Newman tries calling Sienna. No luck, so he gets Sharon to distract the bouncer by showing him a picture of Noah while he slips in behind his back.

Sienna isn’t thrilled to encounter Nick inside. When he quizzes her about Matt Clark being Mitch, she’s not receptive. He demands to see her husband and she claims he’s not there. Nick senses she’s afraid and hiding something. Sienna thinks he’s getting carried away and threatens to ban him. After he backs off and leaves, Mitch joins her and she informs him that Nick thinks he’s someone named Matt Clark.

Nick joins Sharon outside and recaps what happened: Sienna definitely seemed rattled and is hiding something about her husband. They have to find a way to get to him when he won’t see them coming.
