Kyle was worried about Trevor’s influence on Gracie. When she was kidnapped, did you think, at the time, she was part of the plot? Did you believe her story when she was discovered? What do you make of her father’s reaction after he learned of her initial complicity?

I did believe that she had a part in the kidnapping, but I think Trevor's actions surprised her. He went beyond the initial plan. He father's reaction was expected. I think he'll change his mind once everything cools down.

I don’t know, Melissa. I think her father may have washed his hands of her. He’s on the spectrum so he’s not so emotionally tied as he was loyal. She broke his trust and it will be difficult for her to get it back.

I believe she went along with him regarding the kidnapping plot but then something went wrong. I think Trevor betrayed her, never having any intention of sharing the money with her. She was all in until his motives became clear.

I think Gracie went along with Trevor's plan. I also believe that she could have been lying about Trevor going too far and kidnapping her. Maybe that was part of the plan the whole time, in case someone found her while everything was going down.

I'm guessing Gracie has pulled some stunts before and her father doesn't trust her anymore. This was probably one stunt too many.

Did you get the impression that her father was done?

Poor, spoiled little rich girl. She doesn't get exactly what she wants when she wants it and feels that daddy owes her because he is never around. She was ripe for Trevor to manipulate.

I don't know what daddy is going to do with her. I just hope that she learned something from this experience.

Yeah, Gracie’s getting ready to experience the reality of making it on your own. Daddy just cut the purse strings.

Yes, I think she's on her own now. Daddy won't be giving her any more money or backing any of her projects.
