Gabi went home and found out Leo was working on a story about Tony’s disappearance. Javi wondered why she was interested in Tony’s disappearance. He thought she had a motive for wanting Tony out of the way. Gabi was offended by his comment. Javi apologized for doubting her. He said he couldn’t afford to lose anyone else after losing Tesoro. Gabi comforted Javi over losing Tesoro. She said he and Tesoro brought out the best in Leo even though he tried to pin EJ’s shooting on her before Kristen’s confession. Javi said Leo didn’t think Kristen did it. At the pub, Rachel told Brady that she was worried about Marlena. EJ came in and said Kristen escaped. He said the prison was trying to confirm that she disappeared. EJ said the warden thought Kristen tried to reach out to Rachel. Rachel said she hadn’t heard from her mother. She was upset over what could happen to Kristen. While EJ was about to leave, he overheard Rachel telling Brady that he was a spy for the warden. Brady said he didn’t think EJ was a spy, but he believed that Kristen had a plan. He said Kristen would find her way back.

Sarah checked on Marlena. She said Marlena still had a rash on her arm which was a sign of Lyme carditis. Belle and Eric talked about Sami being engaged to a mob prince. Eric was more understanding about the situation. Sarah told them that Marlena had carditis. She said she would run the Lyme disease test again but it could take a while because of EJ’s budget cuts. Sarah thought the budget cuts could have affected the original Lyme disease which kept Marlena from getting the help she needed. Belle went over to EJ and yelled at him. She threatened to hold him and the hospital responsible if anything happened to her mother. Belle left to check on Marlena. Eric and Sarah argued with EJ. Brady brought Rachel to the hospital. He gave Rachel money to get something from the vending machine. Brady told Sarah that Kristen escaped. Sarah ended up hugging him while Rachel watched them. In the crypt, Tony took the restraints off Kristen. She told him that someone jumped her from behind in prison and blindfolded her. Tony said someone got him on his way back to Greece. Kristen wondered if EJ had anything to do with what happened to them. Tony thought Gabi did it. Kristen said it was ironic that Stefano wasn’t among the dead DiMeras in the crypt now. Tony said the open sarcophagus was gone. He said whoever put them there took Stefano out. She said she still felt his presence and wondered if the other DiMeras were held captive somewhere. A fed up Kristen was determined to get out of there. In the lab, EJ put his hand on a cryogenic chamber and told it that their reunion was long overdue.
