At the DiMera Mansion, Kate complains to Lucas about Dr. Rolf getting away while Gwen was keeping an eye on him. Kate calls Gwen useless and declares that Chad and Abigail need to fire her immediately. Lucas informs her that he has something to tell her about Allie. Lucas says he's been meaning to tell her for awhile but hasn't been able to find the words. Kate asks what it is. Lucas then reveals to Kate that Allie was raped.

Allie goes to Henry's crib and is shocked to find out that he is gone. Nicole asks how this could happen as they both start to panic.

Orpheus orders John to put his gun down unless he wants the death of a child on his hands. John asks what he's talking about. Orpheus informs John that one of his associates has taken possession of Marlena's great grandson Henry. John argues that not even Orpheus would stoop that low since he's a father. Orpheus responds that it's how he knows how motivated people can be when their family is threatened. Orpheus calls it the leverage he needed to gain Marlena's cooperation. John asks what Orpheus plans on doing with Henry. Orpheus tells him that will be up to John and Marlena as his associate is waiting for his instructions and if he doesn't hear from him soon, then Henry is expendable.

Marlena paces in a waiting room at the Bayview and thinks back to Orpheus telling her that he had Henry.

Allie doesn't understand as Henry was just in his crib a minute ago. Allie then realizes the "repair guy" must have taken him.

Clyde stands outside with Henry, wondering what's taking Orpheus so long. Clyde says he grabbed Henry out of the crib like Orpheus wanted and now asks where he is. Clyde remarks that he's going to have to ditch Henry so he can get back to check on his own son to make sure he doesn't do something crazy.

Ben paces in his room and wonders why he didn't give Clyde some way to get in touch. Ben worries about Clyde having anything to do with Marlena's disappearance. Ben wonders if John's heard anything and starts to call him but Eli shows up at the door. Ben hides Vincent's gun underneath things in a drawer. Ben then answers the door and asks what Eli is doing back at this hour. Eli responds that he came to ask more questions about his dad.

Clyde keeps hold of Henry and calls Orpheus but he doesn't answer.

Orpheus tells John that he can call Allie to check on Henry if he doesn't believe him so John calls Allie. John says he's just checking in. Allie informs him that someone took Henry and tells him about the visit from the "repairman". John asks if she's called the police. Allie confirms they are on their way. John tells Allie that everything will be okay and promises they will find Henry soon. John swears it won't be long and he'll make sure she gets her baby back no matter what it takes. John asks if Nicole is there which Allie confirms. John tells them to stay where they are and he will call when he can as he then hangs up. John warns Orpheus that he's going to return Allie's son no matter what it takes.

Marlena remains in the Bayview waiting room until Dr. Morris comes in and greets her. He comments on the night and being thankful the power is back on. Marlena informs him that she needs to speak to him about a patient. He notes that it's kind of late. Marlena says time is of the essence so he agrees to do what he can to help. Marlena explains that she needs a patient removed from Bayview, Christian Maddox. Dr. Morris says he hasn't heard of a transfer and calls it a highly irregular request at this time of night. Marlena says she wouldn't be doing this if it wasn't really important. He says even if he could grant her request, it will take time to process. Marlena tells him that she needs this to happen right away tonight.

Kate tells Lucas that she knew Allie was having a hard time but she never would have imagined this. Lucas adds that Allie blames herself but he's starting to think it's partly his since Sami told him that Allie was partying too hard in London but he dismissed the whole thing. Kate argues that he just didn't want Sami to pressure Allie. Lucas feels he should've been there to protect his daughter. Kate says there is no way he could've known this would happen. Lucas complains that he knew she was vulnerable and he could've prevented this whole nightmare. Kate assures that he's here now and that's in the past. Lucas argues that Allie will have a constant reminder of what happened every single day of her life. Kate realizes he means Henry. Lucas says they all love Henry and Allie is finally building a bond with him but it doesn't change that Henry came into this world because of that rape.

Allie asks how she could be so stupid. Nicole blames the blackout. Allie says she let a stranger into their home during a prison break. Nicole assures that the police will find him as he couldn't have gotten far. Lani arrives and says she's sorry this happened but encourages they will get Henry back as they have APB out on the prisoners. Allie asks if she thinks it was one of them. Lani asks Allie what happened. Allie goes over Clyde pretending to be a repairman. Allie says she went to the bedroom and guesses he came back to steal her baby. Nicole adds that she was in the shower so she didn't see him. Lani shows Allie pictures of the prisoners to see if she can identify him. Allie then confirms that it was Clyde.

Ben tells Eli that he already told him everything he knows about his father's escape. Eli asks if Ben hasn't heard from Clyde since he was there earlier. Ben thinks back to John advising him not to involve the cops so that Orpheus doesn't run with Marlena. Ben tells Eli that he has not heard from Clyde. Ben brings up Ciara's memorial being tomorrow. Eli tells him that it won't take long and he knows he's going through a lot but he wants to take a look around. Ben questions him. Eli says he offered to let him earlier if he doesn't have anything to hide. Ben repeats that he's already told him everything but if he doesn't believe him, he can do whatever he needs so Eli begins to search Ben's room.

Dr. Morris tells Marlena that Christian has been doing quite well so Bayview is the right place for him. Marlena says she doesn't have time to debate this. He questions what makes her think he'd do better elsewhere and brings up that she was happy with Claire's treatment. Marlena argues against comparing Claire to a murderer and says they are not the same. Marlena says that Christian killed the mother of his child and was happy to let Ben go to death row for it. Marlena tells him that she needs Christian transferred tonight. Dr. Morris suggests she go home and sleep on it then tomorrow he can call a meeting with the whole team to straighten it out. Marlena refuses to leave and declares this has to happen tonight as it's a matter of life and death. He says he's aware that Christian attempted suicide in prison but doesn't believe he's currently a danger. Marlena argues that she has known Christian since childhood. He says she's hardly objective about the situation. Marlena repeats that it's a matter of life and death so they have to move quickly. He asks her to be more specific so he can understand. Marlena tells him to just do what she's asking. He decides she's never given reason to doubt her and he sees it's important to her so he will make some calls. Marlena says she's already made the arrangements. He brings up protocol but Marlena demands that he bring Christian to her now or else she will have to make a call to make sure someone relieves him of his job.

John states that Orpheus proved he can terrorize his family. Orpheus says that's not his goal this time. John asks where Henry is. Orpheus assures that he's safe and no harm will come to him as long as Marlena holds up to her end of the agreement. John asks what he's forcing Marlena to do. Orpheus says he gave her a choice so the future of Henry is in her hands.

Clyde complains that this was supposed to be a simple deal where Orpheus breaks him out of prison, he gets Henry and hands him over, then he can get back to check on Ben. Clyde thinks back to his last conversation with Ben where he promised check on him in the morning. Clyde says Ben feels he has nothing left to live for but maybe Henry could help him out.

Eli searches Ben's room and opens the drawer where Ben hid Vincent's gun.

Kate can't believe Allie's been carrying around this pain and suffering alone. Kate hopes the monster who did this has been punished but Lucas says no which Kate questions. Lucas informs her that no arrest has been made. Kate declares they will take care of this because they have resources. Kate wants to track down the guy and make sure he pays for what he did. Lucas then reveals that he is here in Salem. Kate questions who did this to Allie. Lucas then informs her it was Steve's son, Tripp.

Allie questions Ben's father being the one who took her baby. Nicole argues that it makes no sense for them to break out of prison to do this. Lani wonders if it has to do with Allie's family. Nicole says that Orpheus is the one with something against Marlena. Lani points out that Orpheus and Clyde were in on this together and they escaped prison together before. Allie asks what they did last time. Nicole says it doesn't matter but Allie insists. Lani says they terrorized everyone in town including Marlena. Allie guesses they took Henry so Orpheus could get back at Marlena. Nicole wonders where Clyde would have taken the baby. Lani has an idea on where to start looking.

John doesn't trust Orpheus' word that Henry is safe so he wants to see him and Marlena. Orpheus assures he doesn't want to harm the baby and he's just using him as insurance to make sure Marlena comes through. Orpheus informs John that he's getting his son out of the mental hospital. John calls Christian a killer just like Orpheus. Orpheus argues that he doesn't belong there as prison broke him and he nearly took his own life. Orpheus says Bayview won't heal him and he needs him. John argues that he will only make him worse. Orpheus says they will see as soon as Marlena delivers him to him. John argues that Marlena will never do his bidding. Orpheus warns that if the exchange doesn't happen then none of them will ever see Henry again so he better hope she made the right choice. John asks when the deadline is. Orpheus tells him that time is almost up.

Dr. Morris brings Christian to Marlena. Marlena asks to be alone with the patient. Dr. Morris asks if that's a good idea. Marlena assures him so he leaves. Christian says he wasn't expecting to see her and asks what she's doing here. Marlena informs him that she is his doctor now so she would like him to come with her. Christian tells her to forget it as he's not going anywhere with her.

Kate questions Tripp being the one to rape Allie. Lucas informs her that Allie made a positive ID. Kate asks why he has not been arrested. Lucas tells her that police said there's no proof so that's the end of it. Kate declares that this is not the end of it.

Ben questions if Eli really has to tear apart his room. Eli informs him that Lani got a tip from someone saying they saw Clyde in the town square heading this way right before he came here. Ben claims that's news to him and that Clyde never came by his room. Eli says he believed him the first time but with the way he's acting, he's not sure. Ben tells Eli that he would call Clyde if he could but he just broke out of prison so he has no idea how to get in touch with him. Eli decides he's going to continue searching in case Ben's lying and Clyde was there because he might have left a clue behind. Eli then gets a call from Lani, who informs Eli that Allie's baby has been kidnapped by Clyde. Lani asks Eli to find out if Ben knows anything about it. Eli says he'll call her back and hangs up. Eli informs Ben that Clyde took Henry right out of the apartment. Ben realizes that's Marlena's great-grandson. Eli argues that Marlena did everything for Ben and he said himself that he owes her his life. Eli asks Ben if he lied to him to protect his father and asks how could he.

Christian tells Marlena that he's been getting better at Bayview and making progress. Marlena suggests he can make more progress elsewhere. Christian refuses to leave until he knows where he's being taken. Marlena says she won't know that until she's evaluated him. Christian thought she and Dr. Morris would make the decision together but Marlena says she doesn't need his help. Christian argues that they can't just walk out when he's a convicted murderer. Marlena tells him that she will handle all of this. Christian notes that she seems anxious. Marlena claims she's fine but Christian questions what's going on. Marlena insists on just going but Christian demands the truth. Marlena then admits she's been speaking to his father and he would like to have him transferred. Christian questions her agreeing. Marlena says she's offering him freedom and asks what he's waiting for. Christian responds that he wants nothing to do with his father ever again.

John tells Orpheus that getting someone out of a mental hospital in the middle of the night is impossible even for Marlena. John suggests pushing back the deadline to morning. Orpheus argues that he's a wanted fugitive and everybody in Salem knows his face so the sooner he gets his son, the sooner he disappears. John tells Orpheus to call his associate and tell him to bring the baby or else Orpheus is a dead man.

Kate tells Lucas that she's calling Abe because Tripp will not get to walk around free as if nothing happened. Kate argues that nothing has happened to Tripp because he's Steve's son. Abe doesn't answer the phone so Kate says she will have to track him down because she won't stop until Tripp is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Lucas informs her that it's what they all want. Kate tells him not to get in her way then as she exits the mansion.

Lani informs Allie and Nicole that Eli is with Ben now and is trying to find out if he knows where Clyde took Henry. Nicole can't imagine Ben would condone this since he loves Marlena. Allie talks about how Ben lost Ciara forever and his life will never be the same. Nicole assures that is not like this. Allie cries that she didn't listen to cherishing every moment with Henry. Lani and Nicole encourage that she will get him back. Allie regrets pushing Henry away and not being her mother. Allie talks about trying to give him away. Nicole understands she was scared but Allie says she was selfish by trying to give him up for adoption and now she's lost him. Allie cries that this is her punishment for being a horrible mother. Nicole calls her a great mother that's just getting started. Nicole mentions Allie telling her how grateful she was for the second chance to be in Henry's life. Allie worries that she didn't protect him so if something happens, it will be all her fault. Nicole hugs her as she cries.

Clyde says that Henry is not the baby that Ben wanted with Ciara but he could put a smile on his face and stop him from throwing his life away by killing Vincent. Clyde remarks that Vincent deserves to rot in Hell but he can't let him take Ben with him. Clyde is scared that Ben is going to do something crazy and hopes it's not too late to stop him.

Ben swears to Eli that he had no idea Clyde was going to take Allie's baby and that he never would have gone along with something like that. Eli asks if Clyde was there earlier. Ben then admits he was. Eli yells at Ben for lying to him. Ben apologizes and says he felt like he had no choice. Eli asks if Ben was hiding Clyde when he was there earlier. Ben confirms that he was. Eli asks what the hell he was thinking. Ben says he has a lot going on and he just wanted Clyde to go away. Ben swears that if he had any idea, he would've stopped him. Eli argues that all Ben had to do was tell him that Clyde was in the back and he would've arrested him right then and Henry would be home with his mother. Eli warns Ben that if anything happens to Henry, it's on his head.

Orpheus warns John to rethink that. John says once he blows him away, his associate won't have any reason to follow through with his wishes. Orpheus tells him that his man has explicit instructions that if anything happens to him, Henry doesn't make it. Orpheus adds that if he wants Marlena to see her great-grandson again, he will hand over the gun.

Nicole assures that none of this is Allie's fault. Allie says she is supposed to take care of him. Lani encourages that she was tricked by an expert and had no way of knowing. Allie feels she left her baby alone with a stranger. Lani says it could have happened to anyone but they have the resources of the police and won't rest until her baby is found. Allie worries that they could be anywhere by now. Lani assures that she will have Henry back no matter what. Allie notes that John said that too. Nicole points out how many people are on her side. Allie comments that the way John said it was like he knew for sure but she wonders how he could..

Orpheus tells John that Marlena may not have been pointing a gun at him but he gave her the same choice that he's facing now and she decided to do what he wants. Orpheus adds that they both know Marlena wouldn't have made that choice unless she was convinced that he would follow through with his threat. Orpheus asks if John really wants to be responsible for something terrible happening to Henry and go through the rest of his life with that guilt. John then hands the gun over to Orpheus.

Marlena tells Christian that he's a parent himself so he can imagine what everybody is going through. Marlena explains that Allie just had her baby and he's been taken away from her so they are all terrified of what Orpheus might do. Marlena knows Christian is working on being a better person but she can't imagine he would want something happening to Henry on his conscience. Marlena says they are all relying on him and they are hoping he will do the right thing...

Ben admits he never should've let Clyde lead and he should've just handed him over to Eli. Eli asks if Clyde said anything about where he was going. Ben says he just said he had something to take care of but he has no idea what he meant or where he was going. Ben apologizes to Eli. Eli responds that he's sorry too but he's taking him down to the station. Ben asks if he's being arrested. Eli says no but until they have Clyde in custody, he's not letting him out of his sight.

Clyde remains outside the town square trying to get Henry to stop crying when Kate approaches.
