John and Marlena are in the private area of the Square, Marlena insisting John needs a break. He feels he's not helping the overall Tate search, she thinks his work has been helpful. She offers to hold down the kidnapper so John can (presumably) beat him/her when caught. Marlena does a recap as they discuss the Greek kidnapping group and Victor's possible involvement. They talk about one of her patients, an upcoming Cubs game, and their wedding. Marlena wants something new and fresh; John admits they have pretty much done it all, then suggests Wrigley Field. She laughs but realises he's serious; wants their "kiss the bride" moment on the KissCam, so they can "show them all how it's done."
At Victor's townhouse, Victor is glad Summer was caught before fleeing to Monte Carlo. Maggie doesn't wish to speak of this, all are back home in Salem now. Victor needles and Maggie goes for a lie-down. There's a knock on the door; Brady demands to know where his son is. Brady lays out the case for why Victor might be behind the Tatenapping; included in the darning circumstantial evidence is a $100grand withdrawal from a stashed account of Victor's (John found the money) just a few days before Summer got her payoff. Vic claims this was for a cruise for him & Maggie. Brady points out that Victor hates Summer, and Jeannie T, and wanted to harm them both. He even remembers that Victor paid a woman to kidnap Claire from Belle and make her look unfit. Victor is incensed; Brady just wants to know where Tate is. Victor pouts and stalks out of the hous, telling Brady that they're done. Maggie appears, looking sullen. She tells Brady that Victor did horrible stuff in the past, but "he's changed." She posits that Victor loves Tate, wouldn't do this; Brady reminds her that Victor also wants absolute control and will do whatever he wishes to get it. Brady thinks that Deimos's actions changed New Victor back into Classic Victor. Maggie considers it possible, but is worried that Brady's just exhausted. Where did he get this idea about Victor? From Summer. Maggie continues to believe in Victor and talks about Victor's cash withdrawal. (Apparently the cruise was a real thing, Maggie confirms it.) Maggie demands that Brady have faith in his grandfather. Then they posit what if both Summer and Victor are wrong about the other.
At the police station, Jeannie T is talking to Summer. Summer is NOT under arrest, just needs to give Uncle Roman some information. Summer worries about the payor giving up information on her (like her accidentally killing Clark) - Jeannie T advises her not to talk about Clark, since Summer's the only one bringing him up. Summer blablahs about how she'd never take a baby from its mother, lest they have a horrible life in adoption. Roman enters, no new information on Tate. Summer tells about the note (which she threw out) and the $100 grand. She wouldn't do it despite having access to Brady. Roman asks if the kidnappers had any info on Summer to force her to do this. She sidesteps, claiming it was about her past, which she had already confessed, so they had nothing. Roman gets a call from Rafe (see below). Summer leaves, running into Victor on the way out. They trade barbs and Victor threatens her.
At the DiMansion, Chad is reading on his tablet when he hears someone screaming for help. It's Rafe, wandering through the tunnels. Chad opens the bookcase passage, Rafe says they have to get help for Hope. Chad is flummoxed, but Rafe brings him down to the tunnel.
Coma Hope is dreaming of Aiden's confession from last week, and their wedding, and the chained-up Rafe (the scenes overlap in a nice special effect). She also dreams about finding Rafe and recapping Andre's sale to Aiden, etc. Chad picks her up and carries her off. They bring her up to the study, Jennifer has walked in, is panicked for Hope. She calls Kayla. Jennifer and Rafe talk to the groggy Hope. EMTs come in and Chad lifts Hope onto the Gurney. They wheel Hope out, with Rafe, Chad, and Jennifer in pursuit.
At the hospital, Aiden is talking to a nurse about his injury from his fight with André (he claims he fell down a flight of stairs). Kayla enters just as she's getting the call about Hope from Jennifer. She tells Aiden off (apparently Roman filled her in on Aiden's shenanigans).
In a hospital room, Hope has internal injuries. Kayla and a nurse discuss the situation as Aiden looks on. Kayla tells the nurse to go get Dr Hennings for "an all-out push" and then orders Aiden out of the room. Jennifer and Rafe arrive, worried. Rafe calls Roman from the hospital, telling him about Hope. Rafe asks Roman to contact Shawn-D. He tells Jennifer that he can't reach Ciara; Jennifer worries about Rafe's wounds, Rafe is only worried about Hope. Kayla enters, Hope had a perforated spleen, it's been removed. She has a lung infection, is in recovery, will need about a week. (Aiden is listening.) Kayla tells Rafe it was good Hope was brought in when she was, or the outcome would have been different. Jennifer thanks Rafe for saving Hope's life.
Later, Kayla and Rafe talk. Rafe's been stitched up, Hope's out of recovery, Jenn is with her. Kayla leaves; Jenn enters, says that Hope's good, but will sleep for a while. Jennifer plans to head back to the DiMansion. He goes in to see Hope, who's awake and thankful. Rafe did whatever it took to save Hope; he was returning the favour. He leaves so she can get rest after kissing her forehead.
Aiden asks the nurse about Hope Brady. The nurse says he'll have to ask a doctor. Shawn-D comes in, furious, and vows to "prove" that Aiden was behind the explosion and put him behind bars. Aiden professes his innocence, doesn't know anything about the house, he loves Hope and would never hurt her. Rafe limps in and vows to "take [Aiden's] head off" if he goes near Hope; Rafe's out for André, too. Later Roman has joined them, they have contacted Ciara, who is on her way.
In the Square, JJ is talking to Jennifer on the phone, glad Hope's okay. Chad comes up while walking Thomas, asks about Hope. They stand awkwardly as Chad beats around the bush trying to get JJ on his side in the custody battle. JJ shuts him down, that's between Chad and Jennifer.
Back at the private area, John has spoken on the phone with Brady, updates Marlena that Victor denied involvement in the Tatenapping. He's heading back to the office; she wants to go with him and crack the case.
Victor returns home, Maggie admits to hearing his fight with Brady, who is terrified and grasping at straws. Maggie believes in Victor. They embrace as Maggie looks worried.
In the Square, Brady updates Summer and Jeannie T about Victor's denials. Summer wants to help, she will do whatever it takes.
Aiden has gone to Hope's room, all he wanted was to love her. Hope tells him to get away from her, and leave Salem. He can't do that. Hope vows that he will regret staying.
