Chelsea vehemently disagreed with his view, but he walked out on her. Sharon had a dream that Adam wanted to be there for her, like she’d been for him. In the dream, Sharon told Adam she was just doing her job, but he told her they both knew it was more than that. In real life, Adam came to visit Sharon. Sharon told him that she had to stop treating him, because she needed to make things right with Rey. Adam was okay with that, because he’d come to cancel their therapy sessions. She wanted him to seek out another therapist, but he intended to try and go it on his own. Summer set up a romantic evening to welcome Kyle back from his trip. As they talked about their commitment to each other, they realized they were already technically engaged, in their hearts. They decided not to tell anyone else about the engagement. Kyle made Summer a temporary ring out of a twist tie. Theo went by Society, thinking he wouldn’t see Lola, since she’d said she was tired and going to rest. She was there, though, and they talked through their issues, but another problem cropped up when Lola inferred that Theo was saying he was interested in her because she was Kyle’s ex.
