Summary #2
While waiting in the hospital, Scott, the defense lawyer and mafia bitch boy, butted heads with Dustin, while also bickering with Summer.
They played “whose line is it anyways” with Dustin and his partner and then left shortly after.
Cue the added drama of Melody, Scott’s girlfriend, texting like a maniac because he left her in Europe.
Flashbacks to when Scott and Summer met in high school.
His first kiss ever and his longing for her.
Summer has mental flashbacks to traumatic things in life, from the death of her mother to being locked in the shed. Some female doctor comes in asking about her scars but doesn’t get far.
A few days later, fire alarms set Summer into a PTSD moment where Karter inserts himself into the situation and gets stabbed. Gave her a phone and left Summer wondering why he was so nice.
Several days later Dustin visits Midas in prison, who honestly just used jail as his vacation home.
He digs deeper into Scott’s past and enlists the help of Senator Jeffery Mathews (Cole’s dad).
Dustin gets the “ick” from dude and rightly so cause fuck Jeff.
Dustin visits his old town to investigate Scott’s ex-wife.
He learned Melody planned the end of their marriage and instead inserted herself into Scott’s life.
Several visits to the hospital between everyone, Summer had another mental breakdown.
Some drugs not ordered by Karter, Summer tried to kill herself, or someone tried to kill her.
We don’t know for sure, but Scott gets informed Summer was sedated again.
Another week goes by, and Summer finally wants out of the hospital.
She gets Hangry and Scott and Summer share an intimate moment over burgers and fries.
Cole interrupted the conversation by calling from jail.
Summer’s past was revealed a bit more; she was pregnant with Gabriella, and Summer was chained to a C-section table while Cole cut her out of Summer.
So that was why Summer hadn’t spoken to Cole in seven years.
Cole, drunk one night, tells Scott to be a lawyer since he can’t handle mafia life, and then considers how much Scott means to Summer.
Scott leaves to get both Cole and Midas out of prison. Dustin shows up, gets a lesson in being nosey, and then convinces Summer to get a psych evaluation.
Summer agrees to be evaluated. There’s a flashback to everyone actually meeting everyone as kids, although most don’t remember it.
Summer is bullied by Dustin and Shaw, then almost dies.
Scott runs and grabs his mother. Cole was tied to a tree with a black eye.
Summer was assaulted and Cole tried to stop it.
The funeral of her mother proceeded with high emotions and blackmail all around.
The psych evaluation happens. Scott and Dustin are observing Summer talk about the most traumatic part of her life. Scott storms out.
Cole picks him up. Scott meets Gabriella and has dinner with Cole’s “family” and then when dinner is done Scott guts him with a knife and leaves him to die on a train track.
Dustin sneaks Summer out of the hospital, where he then takes her on a date to a shooting range. Dustin learns that the scars on her back are from his brother, whom he thought Midas had killed years ago.
Dustin learns Summer’s true name, and it’s revealed that Summer knew who Dustin was from the beginning. They fight, they fuck, and Summer leaves him tied to the bed like the first time they met.
Scott steals Cole’s motorcycle and drives it to New York, where he asks his Grandma, the head of the obsidian mafia, to kill Midas.
April (Grandma) says no, and Scott realizes he put his trust in the wrong person.
Melody is revealed to have been working for April all this time, so it’s a stab in the heart.
Scott tries to run, but doesn’t get past the door.
His hand gets broken by Shaw’s knife, and they force him down into the basement where Karter shows up again.
He’s all charm and ease, but he has his own reasons for being there.
Karter slips a scalpel into Scott’s cast right before Shaw takes him away.
Scott ends up locked in a basement puking his guts out because of the dinner he had with Cole, Reyna, and Gabriella. When they leave him alone for point five seconds, Scott tries to commit suicide because he feels like a failure to Summer.
Summer makes a bloody conspiracy board to make sense of where her child has been kept and leaves with the intention to confront everyone around her.
Dustin gets a call to go to the hospital. He has a chat with Cole about who stabbed him. Cole refuses to say who tried to kill him, and Dustin meets Reyna.
Dustin goes to Summer’s crime scene again, expecting something to be amiss. He interviews Isabella, and that leads him to Reyna. So he slowly learns everyone’s connections but doesn’t understand it.
Summer goes to Isabella’s house expecting to know where Gabriella will be, ends up killing the stupid bitch for being a terrible excuse of a mother.
Goes to Reyna’s house too late. Summer has Reyna taken to the hospital.
Reyna’s young kids, whom Gabriella protected, were hidden and safe, but Gabriella was nowhere to be found.
Summer goes back to Midas, thinking that maybe he took her or just from trauma in general.
The “safety” net he always provided. Things don’t go that way and Summer gets raped by Midas.
It unlocks the trauma center in her brain, and she remembers being a little girl and killing her mom by accident.
Which is what Midas blamed Summer for all this time.
All the cruelty came from Midas’s anger at his wife being dead.
Summer calls for help and gets taken to the hospital by Karter, whose concern is real. He lets her go do what she has to do after a friendly conversation. Summer confronts Cole about Gabriella’s disappearance and asks Cole to kill her.
Cole refuses; they both make a plan to figure out who took Gabriella and to get Scott back from the obsidian.
Dustin gets a tip from his agency that the Don of the Obsidian will be at a church meeting and that the alliance between the Obsidian and Syndicate mafias is dissolving.
The church that everyone meets is full of tension as Shaw and Cole go head to head. Shaw gets a rise out of Summer, and they end up with a deadly weapon poised at each other.
Dustin shoots Summer; all hell breaks loose. Several people were shot and killed, and Summer barely escaped with Cole.
The epilogue picks up with Cole calling for Karter to help, but Karter is nowhere to be found, and instead Karter sends a doctor he trusts. The same doctor that Summer has severe trauma with from the sex slave-center. (Dr. Lucas Avery).
It ends with Summer fighting for her life and Cole struggling to keep his head together.
Now that all of that is settled, on to Starving Butterfly.
