Aiden is in the Square talking to a policeman. He wants to do a press conference and the company has temporarily diverted all power to the Square, but it will overload. He must do his conference now. He flashes back to reviewing the DiMera case with Rafe and Hope. (Long flashback with bad audio.) When he's done with his flashback (including listening to Hope's taped confession). Clyde is following Aiden.
At the police station, Rafe is questioning having a public press conference in a public place. Abe is furious and points out this wouldn't be necessary if the cops had done their jobs. He will not cower to the likes of Xander, Clyde, Orpheus. More yelling with some posturing by Rafe. Abe calms down a bit, offers Hope time off since Claire's her family. Abe leaves. Rafe assures Hope they will find the kids, embraces her. Aiden walks by and spies them through the window.
At the Johnson House, Steve and Kayla quibble about how their son and niece are being terrorised by lunatics but Kayla needs rest. She wants to be strong for when Joey returns.
At the townhouse, John arrives; Marlena laments taking Claire out of the house. (She's recharged her phone, there's some power in the townhouse, it appears.) She can't reach Shawn and Belle, they must be worried. John is confident Claire can hold her own, and will lead them to the baddies. Marlena is not so sure, laments Claire's cavalier attitude. John flashes back to giving Claire a necklace with an alert in the charm. (More bad audio.) Claire appears to have been listening; Marlena hopes Claire gets to use the transponder. John wants to alert Steve and Kayla.
Later, John and Marlena have briefed Kayla and Steve, all of them worry why Claire hasn't used the device yet. They head to the square to present a united front. Before they leave, Steve and John talk about being prepared, Steve has his gun.
At the warehouse, Joey and Claire whisper about a plan to get out. Xander questions Orpheus' plans to use the kids as human shields. Claire mouths off to Orpheus, causing him to pull a gun on her. Orpheus tells the kids they're his get out of jail free card; Joey laments his father's death. Claire taunts Orpheus and relieves Joey with the news that Steve outwitted Orpheus, just as John will. Orpheus has to leave, Xander laments being left to babysit, wonders where Clyde is. Orpheus scolds Clyde, tells him to remain silent and do his part of the plan. Claire's necklace has fallen on the floor. Xander berates them and gags them both. They struggle as Xander makes a financial call to Stavros, but he's breaking up, so Xander steps outside. Joey falls over trying to get the necklace, Xander rushes in, picks him up, and says he'll kill them both if they don't stop it. Orpheus enters, tells Xander he's not in charge. Joey has Claire's necklace.
Clyde is on a pier or something with a big metal briefcase. He opens it, calls Jeremiah, says he got the package. It's full of guns. Later he goes to the hotel room, gawks at the guns again, and looks out the window. Just perfect, he muses.
At the police station, Ciara laments Claire's capture and hopes she wakes up from this bad dream. She and Theo talk about how worried Theo is about Claire. She assures him Joey and Claire will be OK.
Aiden talks to Hope, first about the Kiriakis raid failure, and asks her to make time to see him. Rafe warns him to stay away. Later, Rafe and Hope discuss what Aiden might want from her. Rafe can't stand that Aiden's back.
At the warehouse, Orpheus and Clyde discuss on the phone their plan; Orpheus tells Clyde not to make a move until he hears word from him. They discuss Victor's softening and the failed raid, and the Deimos/Victor alliance. Orpheus is confident that they'll succeed and kill Victor.
At the Square, Kayla/Patch/John/Marlena arrive, Abe laments not having news for them. They worry about Claire's not having activated the transponder. He realises he has no signal on his phone. Meanwhile, Xander is ordered to remove the teens' gags, their parents will need to hear them if their plan is to work. Xander worries they'll give away their location, Orpheus is confident they can't. Later at the hotel, Clyde is practicing his aim, sees Aiden, muses that he's the worst of them all.
Abe's conference commences; Rafe/Hope and Theo/Ciara have joined them, and the criminals are watching on a tablet. Abe berates the town's looting, promises capture and prosecution for same. Encourages the citizens to obey the curfew, keep clear of the siege-making threesome. Orpheus breaks in, Rafe tries to track the signal as Orpheus taunts them by showing the teens. Marlena notices Claire does not have her necklace. Clyde is above, taking aim. There are technical difficulties locating the signal, enraging Rafe. Orpheus wants $20 million, promises to reveal the hostages' whereabouts once they're out of the country. Abe is flummoxed. John and Marlena hope that the baddies didn't get the necklace. Claire tells Joey to press the necklace.
Back at the Square, John still has no bars. Abe continues his speech reassuring the citizens. Aiden sneaks over to Hope, whispers that he knows she killed Stefano. (And we get flashbacks of her shooting, and talking with Rafe about it.) Abe's still talking, Clyde takes aim at Aiden, Abe steps away from the podium, gets the bullet instead. Everyone gets down. Theo freaks out, crawls to the injured Abe. On the ground, John's phone starts beeping.
