Dante shows Carly and Sonny a jade necklace that they found at the crashsite; it belonged to Morgan.  Carly had given it to him.  Sonny asks if there was any evidence that he might be alive; Dante says no.  He leaves.  Carly wonders if they should wait, to see if the PCPD finds anything that they might be able to bury.  She tells Sonny that she has nothing left for him, she can’t help him, she can’t grieve with him; unless he can go back and undo everything, there’s nothing he can do to make it right.  Kiki shows up, and tells them that she really did love Morgan and she hopes they know that; but Carly wants to know what she means when she says she caused Morgan pain on that last night.  Kiki tells her that he thought there was something going on with her and Dillon; and that Morgan thought he saw them having sex, but they weren’t.  Carly yells at her for abandoning Morgan when he needed her most; she says she knew she was a liar.  She calls her a pathetic, petty little girl and tells her to get out.  Sonny hugs Kiki and tells her it’s alright.  Kiki says she knows she screwed up, but she really did love Morgan.  Sonny says he knows; and he’s happy Morgan got to experience that kind of love.  Carly comes back down and tells Sonny he has to leave; she can’t be with him anymore she says, because every time she looks at him, she sees the man who killed her son.  

Finn wakes Hayden up, gently…but then she jumps and tells him to stay away from her.  She apologizes; she says it’s a reaction to waking up in a strange room.  He hands her some asprin and a glass of water; she has a bit of a hangover.  He reminds her about what happened; but then tells her that he cannot cash that check.  He is worried that the man will come back after Hayden; he can’t take that chance.  Hayden remembers saying that she believed Finn wanted to have sex with her; she asks him to deny it.  He tells her he can’t; he is interested, but he doesn’t have long to live, so it’s just not fair.  She says she knows it’s a risk, but – he grabs her, and kisses her, passionately.

Anna looks at a picture of Valentene Cassidine; she says she didn’t know his name, but she recognizes his face, specifically his eyes.  She says he must be smart, because there was never any evidence against him until the Cassidine Island incident.  Laura overhears them talking about Valentene, and she warns them that he will stop at nothing to get what he wants.  Anna says she knows that he is a dangerous man and will act accordingly; Lulu congratulates them on the new addition to their family, and excuses herself when Kevin arrives.  They sit down to eat; Laura tells Kevin that Anna was talking about Valentene… then she starts talking about selling the castle.  Kevin gets lost in thought.  

Griffin goes to see what’s taking Claudette so long; she is in her room packing – he knows she is skipping town and tries to stop her.  She hits him in the back of the head with a glass paperweight and he falls to the floor.  Maxie determines that this is not how her story is going to end; as the daughter of Frisco and Felicia Jones, she says, she has to be able to think of a way out of there.  Nathan determines that the kidnapper must have thought that Maxie was Claudette and took her by mistake.  Maxie gets herself loose from the chair again, but finds the basement door locked; she searches the shelves, and finds a cell phone.  

She reaches Nathan, just as she starts to fade; she drops on the steps.  She can’t tell him where she is though, other than that she is in a basement – she tells him he put her in the trunk of his car to take her there.  Then she tells him she doesn’t know how long she can wait; there is gas filling the room.  She describes the car ride as being less than fifteen minutes and says there was this annoying hot dog song; he knows the one, he always wants one when they drive by there.  Nathan finds her, just in time; she is passed out, but comes to when he gets her into the fresh air outside.  Claudette gets on a plane; Valentene sits down beside her and says he thinks she has something she stole from him.
