While one family drama unfolded in an LA hospital, another was playing out across town. Claire left for LA with Holden Novak to get some space, and a jealous and worried Kyle refused to sit back. After getting her location from Victoria, he flew to LA to win her back.

He surprised Claire at her hotel with flowers, but she was not pleased. She reminded him she asked for space and that his controlling behavior was exactly why they were having problems. Holden’s arrival made things even more tense. Claire eventually sent Holden away so she could talk to Kyle, and she made it clear she needed to figure out her own future before she could even think about theirs.

Despite the rejection, Kyle decided to stay in LA, hoping she would change her mind. For her part, Claire seemed quite content to continue her adventure with the charming Holden, leaving Kyle heartbroken and alone.
