Lexie confesses to Hope, Doug and Julie that she clocked Bo with a wooden board and fears she killed him. Hope climbs into the shaft and down into the tunnel. She finds Bo unconscious, but he eventually comes to and learns from Hope that Lexie was the one who whacked him. He and Hope wonder who held Lexie captive. They then hear the strains of "Ride of the Valkyries" coming from the end of the tunnel that leads to the DiMera mansion. They quickly suspect Stefano had a hand in this.

Subsequently, they search the tunnel for any evidence pertaining to the cause of the DiMera vendetta against the Bradys. Hope finds a photo album with a picture of Colleen, whom they discover is a Brady. Eerily enough, she looks almost exactly like Sami! Behind the snapshot is an old key, and Bo locates the music box it opens. He lifts the lid, and a shrieking beep goes off. Bo and Hope realize it's a bomb!

Doug calls Celeste, who shows up, ecstatic to see her daughter alive. She takes Lexie to the hospital, where she's admitted and treated for dehydration. Lexie talks of her captivity in the tunnel, revealing someone dropped food and water to her every few days, but she doesn't know who that someone is. She also doesn't know how she got there after the car accident in January. Celeste wants to call Abe, but Lexie says she isn't ready to see him yet. She fears he hates her for the events before her disappearance. Celeste convinces Lexie that Abe loves and misses her so Lexie decides to surprise Abe when he comes to the hospital later that night to have his bandages removed from his corneal transplant. She wants to be the first thing Abe sees after his (hopefully successful) transplant.

John and Marlena ask Caroline about Colleen. She reveals that Colleen was Grandpa Shawn's older sister. She died young, but Grandpa Shawn never divulged the cause. All Caroline knows is that it's a very touchy subject with her husband. Stefano arrives and tells Marlena she can end the DiMera/Brady feud by convincing Sami to accept his terms. She questions him about the terms, but all Stefano will say is that Sami knows what they are.

A detective arrives at the Chicago hotel to ascertain whether or not "Jeffrey Quarry" is really Claire Kiriakis. The police search the hotel for Claire, but come up empty. A devastated Belle thinks about how scared and lonely her daughter is and starts to sing a song that used to comfort her. Suddenly, a child's cry is heard -- and Belle is certain Claire is nearby.
