Y&R spoilers teased that when Kyle caught his mother-in-law still alive and kicking, his first concern was that, if they didn’t turn her in, he and his wife Summer could be considered accomplices and sent to jail. Kyle asked Summer how he was supposed to tell Harrison that “Mommy is in jail.”
First, a little nitpick, Kyle (Michael Mealor), honey. Harrison’s (Kellen Enriquez) mommy is already in jail. Tara (Elizabeth Leiner) being put away on embezzlement charges was how you were able to get custody of Harrison in the first place. What you meant was, “How am I supposed to tell Harrison that the woman we’ve worked so hard to gaslight into thinking that she was his mommy and he didn’t have any other ones but is actually only his stepmommy is in jail?” But, semantics aside, Kyle has a point.
Tara’s crimes were only financial. She should be getting out of prison any day now. If Summer (Allison Lanier) goes down for aiding and abetting Phyllis’s (Michel Stafford) crimes, those are much more serious, since they include bribery, tampering with evidence, and, oh, yeah, murder.
When Tara was in jail, and Kyle wasn’t, then, yeah, on paper, he and Summer definitely made better guardians for Harrison than Tara. Even if they were total strangers to him. But the show will be on a very different foot if Summer and Kyle are both arrested and put on trial. Then a newly freed Tara, who’s paid her debt to society, can swoop back into Genoa City, grab her baby boy, and go. What judge would stop her?
Kyle already looks halfway to forgiving Summer for lying to him about Phyllis. But that was when the damage was only to Diane (Susan Walters). If Phyllis’s plot costs Kyle his son, will he ever be able to forgive her – or Summer? Think this speculation could really happen? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
