Harris said he had something to tell her. Steve told Kayla that once Bo brought her the equipment for the serum, they would have chemicals. He said they could disarm Bo and be free. Bo came in the wine cellar and told Kayla they were leaving. He said he found a Titan research lab with everything she needed for the serum. Steve said Kayla was leaving over his dead body. Bo said that could be arranged. At Statesville, a guard brought Megan to see Andrew. He told her the deal was off since she lied about who took Kayla. She stood by her story. He said Thomas was in a sex club when Kate was killed and Kayla disappeared. He said there were witnesses that could testify seeing him there. He threatened her unless she told him who took Kayla. Chad and Stephanie talked about who kidnapped her parents. Chad said the kidnapper hasn’t asked for a ransom and let Kayla use the phone. He said the person wasn’t a real criminal. He said the person probably wasn’t taking orders from Megan because she was in prison. He said their best clue was Kayla saying Victor’s name. He said she was probably at one of his properties. Bo told Steve separating them gives Kayla an incentive to so what he wanted. He said they could go back to their lives once he got the serum.

He told her once he had the serum, he would sell it to the highest bidder. He said everyone would know their names. She said she didn’t want this. Bo said that was the Brady way – humble and quiet. He said he was never those things. He left the lab and locked her in. Hope told Harris they should go to the police. He said there was no need to do that. He said he lied when he told her he didn’t find anything at Victor’s. She said she should go there and find out on her own. They kissed before she left. Megan called Harris. She said if he wanted a chance with Hope, he had to take her far away. He said it was too late for both of them. Chad found a locked door. Kayla grabbed a tray as the door handle moved.
