Propped up against the park bench, Sage is coached through breathing – then pushing. Moments later, Adam’s holding a baby boy. He isn’t crying – why isn’t he crying? Sage bleats. What’s wrong? A woman walking past is sent for an ambulance. Go!
Dylan updates the Ashby’s and Devon – if anyone steals meds from GCM, the police will be able to trace them. He thinks it obvious that whomever has Hilary knows a lot about Devon; he was in the right place and the right time. Collin appears to quip about them starting a conspiracy without him.
Nikki and Jill are at the station dropping the bomb on Paul – Adam’s alive (posing as Gabe Bingham) – and Billy’s gone after him!!! All three are relieved when Billy arrives with Vikki – he’s going to let the justice system take care of Adam – don’t let Delia down (again) he warns Paul.
As Sage is wheeled into GCM, Ben issues instructions to the nurse who takes the baby to ICU – and to Emma (Sage has lost a lot of blood) Adam’s left by himself to frown.
Nick and Victor inform that Ian’s in maximum security – in a 6X8 cell – wanna join him? No, the hacker doesn’t. Then put a stop to Paragon. Getting a call, Nick rushes off to GCM. Victor’s left with the hacker – it’s just the two of us. I usually get what I want, Victor menaces. The hacker insists the virus can’t be stopped (that’s what Gabe wanted)
The Ashby’s, Cane and Dylan don’t appreciate Collin’s attempt at humour – Hilary’s being held for ransom. Denying he’s involved, Collin asks the just-arrived Neil to tell them it’s ludicrous to think that HE anything about Hilary’s disappearance.
Hey – what are you doing here? No, Emma can’t leave to go get a bite to eat with Gwen (who’s just stolen her badge from her locker) – she has to prep for surgery.
Get real, Billy knows Victor doesn’t give a damn about his employees and gave Adam a pass for running down a kid because she was his. Victor brought Billy to his sick daughter. After you had me locked up in Myanmar. She was better off without you, Victor growls (as Nikki and Jill simmer) You’re not honouring Delia’s memory, you want revenge. Vikki insists they’re all there for the same reason – to have Adam thrown in jail. Paul needs a warrant. Victor will arrange that. As everyone bickers, Billy overhears the cops talking about Adam being spotted.
Nick accuses Adam of attacking Sage for letting his secret come out – she protected you for over a year! Yeah, blame the evil brother, Adam offers a different version – YOU laid into her. This is on YOU brother – YOU.
Paul gives his officers print outs of a photo of Adam (who’s been going by the name Gabe) When Victor comes along to add that Adam created the Paragon virus, Billy’s only concern is Delia – nobody cares if you lost a few bucks. Victor snaps that NE supports many families – but born with a silver spoon in his mouth, Billy wouldn’t know anything about THAT.
As Gwen sneaks around the hospital, Neil and Collin bicker in front of everyone. Dylan shares his theory – the kidnappers saw an opportunity after Hilary fell off the cliff. What they don’t know is that the cops have a plan (which is on a need to know basis) What if the ransom note’s a fake? Devon and Neil agree – we can’t go to the cops (per the note) All split up to chat among themselves.
At GCM, Ben updates Nick that Sage lost a lot of blood – yes, stress could be a factor. Luckily she wasn’t alone in the park. The baby wasn’t breathing at first – but the person who delivered him performed infant CPR. Who delivered the baby? Nick wonders. I did, Adam appears.
Neil returns to find that Gwen’s got supplies. He gives her an odd look and accuses her of sending the ransom note – you agreed to help me for money. Gwen can’t believe Neil’s accusing her of this. I’m an accessory – I just stole medical supplies for YOU! I love you! Neil laughs – that’s what you claim. He then throws it in Gwen’s face that she pretended to date Devon. Gwen gets a call from Emma (which Neil makes her answer) The police? Why? That’s crazy, Gwen hurries off the phone to tell Neil that the police put trackers on meds that were stolen.
Dylan agrees with Devon (no cops) then both hurry to the revolving door – as Cane chases after someone. The staffer delivers another envelope. Devon reads it aloud to Dylan and Lily ‘I’m ready to arrange a drop’
As Nick and Adam continue to argue about Sage, Ben interrupts to say that Adam saved Nick’s child – go see your son. Your son – it’s a boy, Adam says ‘congratulations’ and leaves. It’s a boy, Nick exhales.
