THE SECRET ROOM | UNLOCKED 

Remember Kayla from Ep 175 “Daddy's Daughter” and how the image of her perfect family was shattered by the results of a DNA kit?  She told Ben she had been planning to meet her bio dad for a while but hadn't made the connection yet.  Well, they finally met up, and Kayla's back to tell Susie how it went.
