Andre gets ready to hypnotize Anna; he tries to reassure her, explaining that he is not placing her in a trance, just guiding her consciousness to a place where it feels safe to remember the experience.  He tells her to lay back and relax, and tells her she can stop the process anytime she wants.  Anna describes a door at the end of a hallway, with a light coming out from under it…and someone whistling.  She walks toward the door and opens it, but sits up before she sees what is in the room.  They take a break, then, try again.  This time, she remembers winding her watch, hearing the whistling, and seeing the light coming from under the door.  She opens the door, then gasps; Andre asks what she sees.  She says she sees her watch; it is laying on the floor, face-up, hands stopped 11:05 October 29th (Anna’s birthday).  

Nathan brings Maxie into Crimson; he tells her she should still be resting, but she denies still being sick.  She tells him she has to stay busy doing something, or she’s just going to be angry that they couldn’t get married.  She finds a law that lets him publish his petition for divorce, but is not happy when she sees the time period for publication is three weeks.  She says maybe it would be easier if they could just find Claudettte.  

Valentin and Nina are in bed again; he is on the phone with Charlotte.  He tells her he has the most wonderful surprise for her.  Nina asks how he knows Charlotte will be happy about her being her step-mom; he tells her Charlotte loves her.  she tells him she will stand beside him and support him through this custody battle, but asks what is going to happen when Claudette comes back.  Valintin simply says, “she won’t.”  They get dressed again; she asks him how he can be so certain Claudette is not coming back when they don’t even know where she is or what she’s doing.  He says Claudette knows that Lulu is really Charlotte’s mother and she isn’t going to bother coming back around.  Nina accepts that answer.  They laugh about their spontaneous decision to get married and take a selfie since they didn’t have wedding photos.  Nina tells him she hopes it makes up for the picture he lost.  She goes into Crimson, where she is surprised to see Maxie.  She tells her she should be home in bed.  Flowers are delivered; the note says, “to my beautiful bride.”  Maxie assumes they are from Nathan, but Nathan says they aren’t from him.  Nina says they must be for her; Maxie and Nathan look confused.  She tells them about their impromptu wedding and tries to show off her ribbon-ring; they cut her off.  Nathan says he is calling Diane to get her out of this; Nina tells him point-blank, she doesn’t want out.  She tells them it was her idea, adding they are going to be good together and it is going to be good for Charlotte.  Nathan tells her it’s a terrible idea, just like marrying Rick Lansing was…she gets angry that he is bringing that up.  She tells him this is probably the smartest thing she’s ever done in her life.  She takes her flowers and storms into her office.  Maxie and Nathan decide that they need to go to Canada to talk to Claudette’s mom.  

Alexis sees a newspaper clipping on Diane’s tablet; it shows Tom Baker’s picture.  She looks horrified for a moment, but Diane distracts her with discussion of getting her license back; Diane says pretty soon, this will all just seem like a bad dream.  She tells Diane that she remembers being with this man on December 21st (the night he died); Diane questions what happened after she met him at the bar.  Alexis admits she doesn’t remember.  She explains to Diane that she wasn’t supposed to be drinking, but she was bored and went to a bar.  Diane questions if he drugged her; Alexis doesn’t think so because she woke up in her own bed the next morning, but then, why can’t she remember what else happened?  Alexis says maybe nothing memorable happened.  Diane tells her it seems like she’s hiding something; Alexis tells her the article about his death triggered some kind of memory, about meeting him that night.  

Franco sees Elizabeth at the hospital; as he stares at her, he runs into a cart, knocking boxes to the ground.  Liz goes over to help him pick them up and says he doesn’t need to avoid her; he says, yes he does.  He says he knows she isn’t comfortable with everything he did to Tom Baker; she admits that’s true, but says they shouldn’t have to walk around with that hanging over them.  Tom Baker’s brother comes to the hospital, asking why the hell he’s walking around free when he killed his brother.  Dr. Olbrecht fends him off of Franco; she asks if he has any proof that Franco was involved in his brother’s death.  He says no, but there are plenty of witnesses who heard the threat to his brother’s life.  Olbrecht gets him to leave; she then asks Franco what that was all about.  He says just rumors; Olbrecht asked how his brother would know he was stalking Tom Baker.  Franco admits to her that he did a bit more than just stalk him.  He says what he did wasn’t very nice, but he didn’t kill him, he swears.  Olbrecht tells him he needs to find out who really killed this man.  

Finn tells Hayden that she might be released today; he’s just waiting on her latest blood work.  Elizabeth brings the lab work in; everything looks good.  Hayden asks, what about him; Liz interjects, saying it looks just as good.  Finn gives her a nod.  Hayden says she is happy he won’t have to keep taking Zen-zen; Elizabeth is surprised to hear that’s what he has been taking.  Finn excuses himself; he gets weak and falls to the ground in the hallway.  He gets up and makes it to the lab, where he injects himself again.  Olbrecht tells Elizabeth that Franco is determined to prove himself to her; she hopes Liz is worthy of that devotion.  Franco walks into a bar and shows Tom Baker’s picture to the bartender; he tells him he needs to know who this man was talking to that night.  Alexis walks in the door behind him.
