Paul told him about his visions, and then the specific vision. Holden didn't know what to make of it. Paul said he needed to protect Ethan.

At Crash, Will questions Jade about Adam's whereabouts and Jade tells Will that she has no idea where Adam is and that she doesn't want him back since all he wants is Gwen. She continues to speculate about why Maddie and Gwen are acting so weird and questions whether or not they are the ones who may know where Adam is. Will defends the girls to Jade and tells her he doesn't know why Gwen and Maddie are acting so strange. Barbara arrives to talk to Will, as Jade leaves to tell Margo about the flowers she received from Adam.

At the cottage, Gwen and Maddie search through the package Gwen's ring arrived in to see if they can figure out who sent it back. Gwen believes that the package came from Adam and that he must still be alive. Maddie doubts that Adam is behind the ring's reappearance and blames Jade, which sends the two girls packing up to go back to the grave to search for Adam's body so they can confirm that he is dead. As the two get set to leave the house with shovels and flashlights they are met at the door by Will and Barbara.

Paul sees Meg and she says she wants to try to be friends, but Paul wants more from her and won't pretend otherwise. Holden enters, asks to speak to Paul. He assures Paul he destroyed Ethan's teddy bear so they don't need to fear the vision. Lily is shooting a baby food commercial with Ethan, and the execs want Faith to join her. Faith rejects the idea and tells Lucinda about the commercial. Lucinda shuts it down. Lily defends her decision, and later Holden backs her up to Lucinda. After, Lily pitches promotional plans as Lucinda enters in time to hear, and surprisingly approves. The baby food women return with a gift for Ethan: a bear identical to the one Holden destroyed. Margo tries to call Gwen without success. Casey's court date looms and there's still no sign of Adam. Margo worries he's not returning because he did something worse than hide that bond at the cottage. She exits to investigate. Gwen and Maddie realize somebody knows what they did. Gwen fears Jade knows the truth and moved the body. Maddie tries to talk Gwen out of turning themselves in. They enter the cottage and find Margo waiting for them. Margo asks Gwen if Adam raped her, but the girls assure her that didn't happen. Later, Margo learns Maddie went to the morgue and her cop instinct kicks in, wondering why she'd go there. Gwen and Maddie sneak into Jade's room to search for clues, just as Jade is about to enter.

At Lily and Holden's house, Gwen and Maddie go into Jade's bedroom, where Maddie manages to hack into Jade's computer (password: "Will"), but before they can learn anything, they hear Jade approaching. They hide, while Jade and Natalie come in; Jade realizes someone's been on her computer, and when Natalie says it wasn't her, she assumes it must have been Faith. They walk out, and Gwen and Maddie take the opportunity to leave. Jade braids Natalie's hair, then asks her to give her 30 minutes to herself, then she'll read a story to Natalie. Natalie leaves, and Jade tries to figure out who was using her computer, but she quickly realizes it might have been Gwen. Later, she reads the story to Natalie, but when she says goodnight, she sees that Natalie is scared because of the wind outside, so she asks if she wants to sleep with her tonight; Natalie says yes, so Jade covers her up and lets her snuggle next to her.

Gwen and Maddie drive back to Tom and Margo's house; Maddie wants Gwen to come in, but she says she doesn't feel right at Margo's anymore because of Adam, so she leaves to go home and try to get some sleep. Maddie goes in and is startled by Casey, who comes out of the kitchen with popcorn and tells her there's a Hitchcock documentary on TV they can watch together. They sit to watch it, but the first movie being discussed involves a woman being accused of murdering a man, and the man she is talking to says maybe she didn't hit the man as hard as she thought she did, that maybe he's still alive. As the plot begins to parallel her own life too closely, Maddie turns the TV off. Casey apologizes, thinking the subject of murder is still too fresh in Maddie's mind; he's referring to her sister, the Slasher. Casey keeps telling Maddie she didn't do anything wrong (in connection with her sister's murder spree), but as he insists she's the best person he knows, Maddie becomes more and more upset. Casey also tells Maddie he knows how much a part of the family she's become, and he says he can see she's as concerned about Margo as he and Tom are; he tells Maddie it might be easier for Margo if Adam was dead, because the way things are now, she'll spend every day imagining Adam lying dead in a ditch somewhere. Maddie can't take it anymore and says she has to go out for a breath of fresh air.

It's a dark and stormy night in Oakdale, perfect for a "haunting." At Will and Gwen's house, Gwen feels the wind blowing through her open bedroom window; telling herself that she didn't open that window, she shuts it, but she's extremely jumpy, hearing tapping noises outside and even hearing someone whispering, "Gwen" repeatedly. She decides she needs to just act normal, so she gets a slightly rare steak to eat and turns on the TV, finding the same Hitchcock documentary that Casey and Maddie are watching. As the movie hits closer and closer to home, Gwen, too, turns it off. The phone rings, but when Gwen answers it, there's no one there. She then goes into her bedroom to grab a baseball bat that's underneath her bed, climbs into the bed with it, and falls asleep. Gwen dreams that she and Maddie are trying to bury Adam, but she keeps hearing his heart beating, and when she bends down to move a shirt from the makeshift grave they're digging, Adam sits up and grabs her arm. Gwen screams and wakes up. Getting up, she walks to the front door, unlocks it, then turns and sees her steak plate tilted on the coffee table, with blood from the steak pooling onto the table. She goes to clean up the mess but turns and sees Adam standing by the door; he says, "Surprised to see me?" Gwen screams again, runs back to the bedroom to grab the baseball bat, but she sees no one in the living room when she returns. The phone rings again, but the answering machine picks up, and when Gwen hears Will's voice, she grabs the phone to talk to him. He can tell she's not doing well, but in the middle of their conversation, the connection becomes fuzzy, and Will asks Gwen if someone else is on the line. Before she can find out what made him say that, the connection is broken. Will calls his mom and tells her he needs to get back to Oakdale as soon as possible. Meanwhile, Gwen's phone rings again, but this time, there's no one there. Panicking, Gwen unplugs the phone from the wall, and when she looks towards the front door, she sees a shadowy figure walk by. At the end of her rope, she grabs the bat and storms outside, shouting, "Adam! Adam!" No one answers, so she goes back inside, where she sees muddy footprints across her carpet. Following the footprints into her bedroom, she pulls back the bedcovers, only to find the bloody stick that Maddie hit Adam with in the woods. Screaming, Gwen finds her car keys and gets in her car to leave; turning on her headlights, she sees Adam illuminated there and screams again, but when she looks again, he's gone. She drives over to Tom and Margo's house, and when Maddie leaves to get her breath of fresh air, she sees Gwen, who insists that Maddie has to come with her so she can show her something. Driving back to Gwen's place, Gwen is very shaky and upset trying to tell Maddie about having seen Adam, to the point where she almost wrecks the car, right in front of a policeman. The officer pulls her over and makes her take a breath-a-lyzer test, which Gwen passes; after Maddie tells the officer a lie about feeling sick but also mentions that she lives with the police chief and her family, the officer lets them go with a warning.

Back at Gwen's place, the muddy footprints have disappeared, as has the stick that was in Gwen's bed. Gwen is afraid Maddie thinks she's losing her mind, but Maddie says that people like Louis and Adam who like to hurt women also like to scare them, and that if Adam is indeed alive, this is exactly the kind of thing he might do to Gwen. Gwen angrily goes outside again, daring Adam to come and get them, but Maddie leads her back inside, where Gwen suddenly remembers that the phone is still unplugged. When she plugs it back in, it rings, and when Gwen picks it up, holding it so Maddie can hear, too, she hears, "It's Adam. Meet me ... in the woods ... You know where."
