Tripp: I know I had my guard up when my mom first came back to town, but I really believe she's changed. Why would she have anything to do with Abigail's kidnapping?
Steve: I don't know, but she witnessed someone knocking Abigail out and then she left town.
Tripp: But Abigail is back now. She's safe and sound. So can't we just forget about this?
Steve: That may not be the only crime your mother is involved in. Ava might have gone back to her contacts in Philly and got them to frame Rafe.
Tripp: But she loves Rafe. Why would she do that?
Steve: She found out that he and Nicole slept together.
Tripp: So the guy she was in love with was sneaking around her back with her best friend. I know how that feels.
