At the DiMansion, Marlena has shown up to talk to Kate about Clyde so she can update his psychological profile. Kate is miffed, but backs down quickly. She mentions Clyde's plan to get Thomas. Later, she is talking of regretting not believing Jordan, how she saw the fun side of Clyde, how he hid his bad side. Chad says that's gone, Kate agrees that Clyde's unhinged now, wants nothing more than to take Thomas to Ben. Marlena and Kate talk about the stress of the siege when Marlena has a flash, remembering a session where Clyde snapped (this would be a good place for a new flashback, Days). Marlena thanks them, prepares to leave; Marlena is not sure her profile will help, but it is all she can do. They talk about Kate's mentoring of Chad, and Marlena worries that Clyde is learning from Orpheus.
In their dungeon, Clyde is needling Orpheus, frustrated by their lack of food and supplies. They were supposed to get in, get what they wanted, and leave. Orpheus thinks things are just peachy, loves jangling John/Marlena/Steve/Kaylas nerves. He warns Clyde not to become a liability. Later, Clyde is drinking and lamenting his abuse of his kids, plans to break the cycle of abuse by killing Chad and taking Thomas to Ben. (Orpheus ignores him, is doing a crossword.) Clyde laments shooting Abe, who has a boy of his own who's not right. Clyde talks about a time when he looked in his father's eyes during a beating, and saw nobody was there; laments thinking Ben might have felt the same about him. Clyde offers Milo a drink, which he refuses; there's a noise outside, Clyde goes to investigate. He comes back, false alarm. More Orpheus and Clyde needling each other.
At the Horton house, Ciara comes in and talks to Jennifer about Theo's escape. She worries that she's never seen him like this. Later, they're talking to Roman on the phone, the cops assigned to him lost him, are out looking for him. Ciara worries that Theo will be killed; Roman demands she stay with Jen, don't worry. Jennifer assures her that Theo will be OK, where might Theo go? Ciara's already checked there (or they have been checked), she feels helpless. Jen insists they pray.
In the private area, Theo sits down and pulls a gun out of his backpack. Later, he's reading his tablet about the shooting. Later again, he's creeping on the pier, someone grabs him; it's Roman, who scolds him and wants to know the truth. Theo tries to lie, Roman is not buying it, tells him they're going to the station. Roman calls Jenn, updates her; Ciara is thrilled, heads to the station to see Theo, needs to tell Claire. She leaves.
In the Square, Aiden is trying to arrange a private dinner for Hope Brady, to no avail. He threatens the owner with a bad health inspection in their future. André comes upon him, reminds him of the terror Aiden put Hope through. André seems to know about the blackmail, Aiden fumes; André needles.
At the police station, Rafe is processing Hope's statement about taking a break. He wants to know what else is behind this. She claims she has feelings, but not as strong as his. He disbelieves this, grabs her, asks for the truth. She says she just need times alone. Rafe suspects Aiden is making her do this. She finally admits it, her voice cracking. Rafe knew it, keeps pushing. Hope says this is why she needs a break, when she doesn't give Rafe the answer he wants to hear, he pushes. Rafe figures out what Aiden's holding over Hope. Hope tells him he's wrong, she implores him to back off despite his declaration that they're in this together. Rafe deduces that Aiden's on to him, too. Hope worries about the others, wants to do this her own way. He keeps grabbing her, she pulls away, he says they're in this together. He kisses her, she pulls away.
In his hotel, Aiden is ordering dinner and champagne. Rafe pounds on the door. Aiden opens it, gets punched. They go back and forth. Aiden makes threats, Rafe leaves.
At the DiMansion, Kate is flashing back to dumping Clyde. Chad comes in, informs her of Sonny's stabbing. Chad laments taking advantage of the Kiriakis weakness from their blunder at the docks; Kate tells him not to be sentimental, those deals will keep the company running.
In the private area, André is talking to someone on the phone. Laura is helping. He won't tell anyone until "you are good and ready."
At the police station, Ciara and Theo hug; she has been worried about him. Theo talks about punishing the guy who shot his dad; Ciara wants him to leave it to the police because those men are dangerous. Theo says so is he, shows his gun.
Orpheus sends John an email detailing the exchange demands; meet in the Square prepared to transfer $20 million. They both fondle their guns as they talk about leaving town. Later, Clyde is upset that Roman/John have not responded yet.
At the Hortons, Jennifer and Hope talk momentarily about the teens, all have been updated. Hope tells her she's broken up with Rafe. Jen balks for a moment, how can she, Rafe loves her, she saw him in the hospital. Hope asks for support, Jen agrees unconditionally.
At the police station, Marlena has brought Roman the updated file. Roman tells her about the email demanding the exchange; both of them realise it's a trap but they have no choice. Roman tells her that John has to be in the Town Square ready to wire the money in 30 minutes. Ciara and Theo come in and exchange looks.
