Abby and Devon are happily back home with Dominic, who is upstairs playing. Tessa comes over and they talk about how well Dominic is doing after Mariah kidnapped him. Tessa theorizes that Ian caused Mariah’s breakdown and is optimistic and hopeful that Mariah will recover, as is Devon. Abby, on the other hand, is concerned about Aria being around Mariah, possible trauma for Dominic from being kidnapped and blames the facility in Boston for failing Mariah.
After Tessa leaves, Devon and Abby discuss the mystery surrounding Lily being MIA and Abby expresses her rage toward Mariah for taking their son. Abby starts freaking out about Mariah’s recent and previous behaviors regarding Dominic and about possible long term adverse effects on Dominic and Devon calms her down.
Christine and Sharon bring Mariah to Crimson Lights after her arraignment, where Christine reviews the rules of her release on bail and explains that it was based on her honesty and remorse in the psych evaluation, staying in Sharon’s custody and her plea of not guilty by reason of insanity. Mariah is very subdued and says she wants to go back to the judge and change her plea to guilty because she knew what she was doing when she took Dominic. Christine advises her not to do it. Mariah rebuts and tells Christine and Sharon about planning and carrying out the kidnapping of Dominic. She explains that she was having hallucinations of deceased Ian at the clinic but did not tell her doctors there because her hallucinations of him helped her with loneliness. She also mentions that her hallucinations of Ian guided her to kidnap Dominic and raise him. Sharon asks if Ian is there now and Mariah lets her know that he is not, he disappeared. Sharon explains that what Mariah experienced is childhood trauma and PTSD and assures her that they will find the right team of doctors and treatment for her to heal.
Tessa enters Crimson Lights, Christine leaves, and Tessa asks for a moment alone with Mariah. After Sharon agrees and goes to the back room, Mariah says Tessa must hate her and Tessa explains that she hates what Mariah went through and she hates that Mariah has been in so much pain and she couldn’t help. Mariah asks how Aria is and Tessa assures her that their little daughter is fine and thriving. Mariah asks if Daniel did as she asked and watched over Tessa. Tessa tells her that Daniel has been a wonderful friend. Mariah lets Tessa know that her mom (Sharon) told her that Tessa filed for divorce. Mariah says that Tessa doesn’t need her chaos and that Tessa needs to move on with her life with Aria. Tessa counters that Mariah doesn’t ask her what she needs and Mariah explains that she doesn’t have to ask because she already knows and so does Tessa. Tessa says she can see that Mariah needs her, starts to cry about how Mariah just keeps pushing her away, expresses how hurt she is, and leaves.
Daniel and Danny are at GCAC discussing the situation with Mariah and Tessa. Daniel tells his father that Tessa filed for divorce from Mariah, but things are now uncertain between him and Tessa because Mariah is back in the picture and needs Tessa. He thinks Tessa will stick by Mariah, but Danny isn’t so sure. Danny is concerned about the complications of Daniel’s romantic involvement with Tessa and their feelings for each other, but acknowledges that they have something special. Christine comes over, mentions that Mariah is out on bail and lets Daniel know that Tessa went to Crimson Lights to see Mariah. Daniel asks how Tessa and Mariah seemed to be, then says that he should probably just go to try to find Tessa. Danny and Christine encourage him to do that and he leaves.
Sharon and Mariah come to the Chancellor mansion, where Sharon lets them know that Mariah was released into her care. Abby is furious and rages at Mariah. Mariah apologizes for taking Dominic, lets Abby and Devon know that she realizes he belongs with them and expresses her hope that one day Abby can forgive her.
