As John issues an arrest warrant for Barbara, Bo suggests to an irritated Kevin that Cassie may well have taken Barbara hostage rather than the other way around. Meanwhile, Cassie dictates Barbara's farewell letter to Joey but her prisoner tosses the note out the window instead of handing it over to her tormentor.

Bo tells Nora he's sure now that Barbara killed Drew. Sam winces inwardly when will compares his feelings about Jessica to the "platonic" friendship his dad has with Nora.

Though Kevin insists they can find new ways to express their love for one another, Cassie refuses to change her mind.

Viki confides to Sam how angry she is with her runaway daughter. Meanwhile, Clint informs an uneasy Lindsey that he's just filed criminal charges against Cristian Vega.

At Club Indigo, an angry Tea snarls at Max for letting her make a fool of herself when he knew all along that Todd was faking the D.I.D. Andrew again urges Barbara to end her torture by turning herself in to the police.
