In a hidden location, she questions whether her actions will truly benefit Harrison, pondering the impact of taking him away from his father.
Back in Genoa City, Kyle is frantic and confides in Victor, desperate to find his son. Victor, always the strategist, reassures Kyle that they will locate Harrison and bring him home.
