After he left, Dusty found someone who worked at the hotel who recalled having seen Nurse Thompson talking with a blond woman. Jennifer and Dusty found out that Nurse Thompson's brother had a common-law wife who was blond, but they didn't know if that was who had been talking to her or not.

At the police station, Hal questioned Cass Winthrop about where Gwen might have gone, and after Cass insisted he didn't know, Hal asked him who was paying his legal fees. Cass admitted that Paul had been paying him. Hal ran into Emily and asked her how involved she was in Paul's recent doings, which he now knew included paying for Gwen's attorney. He told her he thought that Paul knew that Gwen had planned to kidnap the baby, that he had encouraged Will to go along with it, and that he probably knew where they were right now. Emily denied that, but Hal still believed Paul was involved in the kidnapping somehow. Emily said that Paul was on his way back from Italy, where he'd been looking for a place for them to live with Jennifer. Hal asked Emily why Paul was so interested in Gwen and her baby.

While his plane circled while waiting to land, Paul took a quick nap and dreamed that Jennifer had found out about the baby and tried to kill him for his role in covering it up.

When Carly tried to run down to see the baby, Gwen grabbed her, and they fought with each other until Gwen fell down the stairs, too. Iris came running up, and she and Will knelt down by Gwen while Jack called for an ambulance. Iris called Gwen "my angel girl," which triggered a memory for Carly of overhearing Iris holding a baby girl and calling her "angel girl" and saying she had a perfect plan to get her away from there (Oakdale). Carly realized then that Iris's baby was a girl, not a boy.

At Java, Lily overheard Keith trying to rent a place to live in Oakdale. She told him she had thought he was leaving town, but he said he planned to stick around.
