According to ABC, “On the first day of school, everyone learns that the drama of the summer is anything but over and that some people will pay more for the consequences of Jeanette and Kate’s deception than others.” Considering the title for the episode is “Proof,” it sounds like the truth is going to come out. Keep reading for even more details below.

First, a recap of Cruel Summer Episode 7

Cruel Summer‘s seventh episode had a lot of moving parts. Viewers first saw Kate confront her mother, Joy (Andrea Anders) about her affair with Scott. Joy denied it, of course, which left her husband and Kate’s stepfather, Rod (Ben Cain) unsure who to believe. After Kate was smacked by her mom, she packed her bags and ran away. This led her to Martin Harris’ (Blake Lee) house, where she was invited in.

A year later, post-abduction, Joy wasn’t any better towards her daughter. She wanted Kate to appear on The Marsha Bailey Show, but Kate didn’t want to. Kate also didn’t want her mom to make her birthday suck like she did last year. In 1995, Kate discovered that it was her mom who wrote the “liar” note from a couple episodes back. There was obvious tension between the two women, which led to arguments and accusations.
