Jack goes back to the cell and says he wishes he could escape. Herb says that's impossible but when Herb asks if he's ever tried it Herb keeps quiet. Jack demands to know what Herb knows and Herb tells him about a secret tunnel he was digging years ago when he hit a large stone and gave up.

Laura returns home when Mickey shows up. Mickey tells Laura that he has some bad news. Mickey tells Laura that she's afraid Jen has been kidnapped. Laura can't believe this has happened and Laura exclaims "that bastard (Stefano) is behind every evil thing that happens in this town!"

Kristen says that she should be thebaby's mother and Susan cries no no no, I'd rather die then let you take my baby. Stefano assures her he is not going to take the baby so Susan asks why he came? Stefano says all that he wanted was a lock of the baby's hair. Kristen tells Susan she wants to hold Elvis right now but Susan says she's too mean to be a good mother. Susan asks why Stefano wants the hair and he says it's technical. Stefano says it's for someDNA work he's doing. Stefano tells Susan she was never supposed to find out about this, but nowthat she has he tells her that if she tells anyone about this he will come to take her baby away from her. Susan says she'll do anything he asks but asks him not to take her baby. Stefano and Kristen then leave. Susan tells Elvis that she won't let Stefano get his hands on him. Outside Stefano warns Kristen not to try to get that baby. Kristen says she won't take the baby, and when Stefano walks off she says "not yet anyways."

At the hospital John and Marlena are standing over a sleeping Roman. John wants to tell Roman the truth when he wakes up but Marlena doesn't want to hurt him. John asks her if she is having second thoughts about this and if she still loves him. Marlena assures John she loves him and wants to marry him so John says as soon as Roman wakes up they will tell him the truth. Roman begins to stir but Marlena says he's in a very deep sleep. John suggests they go out to get some air and they leave. John and Marlena take a walk and discuss telling Roman the truth. Marlena realizes that John is right and says they are destined to be together. John tells Marlena he has something for her and gives her a garnet necklace that represents "loyalty."

Marlena and John go in to see Roman. John tells Roman that they have to tell him something but Roman says he'd like to talk to John alone first. Marlena says she'll wait outside where she tells Eric about the necklace John gave her. Eric asks his mother who really deserves her loyalty, John or Dad?

First at the hospital, the scene repeats where Roman tells John that he isgetting better and ask Johnto be his best man when he marries Marlena again. John tells him there issomething very importantthat he needs to know about him and Doc and John and Kristen. Marlena istalking to Eric andremembers the argument they had at her apt earlier. Then the doctor shows upand tells Marlenathat the test show that Roman is not 100% yet and any stress - physical oremotional - could causea relapse. Marlena rushes into Roman's room just in time to say stop andRoman wonders whatthey have to tell him. She sits by his bed and says that she wants to tellhim together with John andproceeds to say that they were discussing his future. He says his future isto get out of the hospitaland marry her. She tells him they need to get him well first and talk aboutwhere he will stay whenhe gets out. He assumed he would go back to John and Kristen's (Marlenacalled it Kristen's butRoman corrected her that it was John and Kristen's). She doesn't think thatis wise and he agreesthat maybe the lovers want to be alone. Someone suggested the pub but Ericsays it's too small. Ericthen suggested he move in the penthouse with Doc. She says no that Susan andthe baby are therebut Eric says she has plenty of room and so Marlena gives in much to John'sdislike. John ask tospeak to her outside but before they can get into why she stopped him hisphone rings - it's Abewith news of Jen's kidnapping. They don't tell Eric and Roman what's goingon just that they need toleave. With them gone Roman tells Eric how great things are - after all 2days ago he thought hewas going to die and Marlena was just marrying him because of that but nowhe's getting well andshe is still going to marry him.. He says how wrong he was to ever leave heryada yada yada. ThenRoman says how grateful he is to Kristen for bringing him back and that Johnis a lucky man to havesuch a wonderful person (even Eric looks like he could puck on thatcomment). Eric says that hethinks Roman and Marlena deserve to be together and from the looks of it heis going to doeverything he can to keep her and John apart.

At Jen's, Laura is doing a great job of being on the edge and about to gooff the deep end. Shewants to know what Abe is doing to find Jen and demands that they do more.Abe has all the roadsblocked and police at the bus station, airport and train stations. He alsohas someone atTrent's/Travis' to see if there is a clue there. Laura is very hystericalduring the whole show (shereally does a great job in situations of this kind). Jack in the meantimehas gotten his cellmate toshow him the tunnel. He takes him there and returns to the cell to keep theguard from finding outanything. Jack goes into the tunnel and it apparently connects to a roombecause Jack appears to bein a large room. He finds the wall that his cellmate was talking about andsays this is going to beharder than he thought. He has a vision of saving Jen and says to himselfthat he must get out andsave Jen. He starts chipping away at the wall and makes fast work of gettingthrough (his cellmatehas worked on the tunnel for 30 years and he gets through in 10 minutes?).Jack has another rockto move and has a lot of trouble with it. He starts to give up but remembersJen needs him and triesone more time. This time he gets the rock moved when he hears something -someone is coming!!At Jen's Marlena and John have shown up to offer their support. Laura isstill in a very frantic stateand saying the Trent/Travis is working for Stef. John and Abe talk and Abedoes not think Stef ispart of this - he fills Stef would not risk his freedom right now but theyare going to find him andquestion him as to where Trent may have taken Jen. Mike and Mrs. H are alsothere offeringsupport. Mike gets a beep from the hospital and says he will call and say hecan't come in but Lauratells him to go they will call him when they know anything. So he heads outthe door without calling. It could have just been a nurse calling about some medsfor a patient - shucks hemay make that trip for nothing. Abe can tell something else is botheringJohn and ask him what'sgoing on. John explains what happened at the hospital and wonders wherethings stand with him andDoc. He even manages to ask her why she stopped him from telling Roman thetruth but we don'tget an answer on that today. A cop comes in with a piece of paper and wefind it containsTrent/Travis' rap sheet. He is wanted in 3 states for aggravated assault,attempted murder and 4counts of kidnapping. Laura asks is the people were found and finds out thatthey never were. Shereally loses it now and is comforted by Marlena. At the prison the guard isdoing pre-lockdowncheck and wakes Jack cellmate. He hollers for Deveraux but no answer. Hehollers again but still noanswer. He goes over and grabs the blanket and finds Jack there - whew. Hiscellmate went intothe tunnel (that's who Jack heard) and Jack got back in time for cell check.With the guard goneJack prepares to leave and his cellmate says he is going with him besidesthere is one more obstacleto get by. There is a set of bars just before the tunnel dumps out onto thegrounds and there is also asolid door that will close if they think someone is trying to escape. Theywork on getting a bar looseso they can get through but it takes quite a long time but they do manage toget one free. Jack istrying to get through when they guard realizes Jack and his cellmate aremissing and rings the alarm.Jack gets through just as the door falls leaving his cellmate behind.

Somehow Hope goes outside and Bomanages to follow her.He wanted to thank her for helping save Roman's life and they begin to talk.It comes out about herwalking in on him and Billie in bed and they finally get the truth out - hesays nothing happened.
