Marty begs John to save Cole first, and Dorian overhears Jared & Charlie talking...

With Lee shooting at the van, John watches as a blown tire causing it to go over a cliff! As Lee and John race to the edge of the cliff, John screams, “Marty, Cole, can you hear me?” After John scales down the loose grave wall of the cliff, Lee reminds him, “By the book, John.” However, John replies, “Screw you, Ramsey,” then rushes to the van and kicks a window in with hopes of getting to Marty and Cole! While John works on the van, Lee rushes off looking for Simon!

Finally, under the rumble, John manages to find Marty who barely says, “John…” Although John tries to get Marty out of the van, she starts screaming for Cole and begs John to help her son!

When Nigel informs Jared that someone is at the door to see him, Jared is shocked to see Charlie and pulls him outside! Jared wants to know what Charlie is doing there to which Charlie replies, “I’m your father. Do I need a reason?” Though Charlie tries to reconnect with his son, and asks for another chance, Jared lashes out at Charlie for being an awful father and says, “I don’t want you in my life anymore! Is that clear!”

Back inside, Bo and Clint wonder who Jared is conversing with and if Jared’s visitor knows something about Jared being Asa’s son. As Natalie rants, “Jared can’t be grandpa’s son,” Clint ignores a phone call from Dorian then tries to comfort Natalie. From the other end of the line, at her mansion, Dorian snaps, “How dare he ignore me!” After Clint closes his cell, he, Natalie and Bo drill Nigel about Jared! Suddenly, Matthew appears wanting to know what’s going on to which Bo explains that Jared is Asa’s long lost son.

Still outside, shaking, and in tears, Charlie begs for Jared to please just give him one more chance then questions him about the Buchanan’s and asks, “Who are they to you?” Once Jared explains he’s spent a long time setting up ‘a fantasy’ for himself, he finishes with, “The only father that I need is dead, Dad.” Little do they know, Dorian shows up at the mansion and hears their conversation! As Jared tries to throw Charlie out, who’s wondering what Jared plans to get from, “These Buchanan’s,” he continues to apologize for not being there for him, hopes whatever Jared is planning to get from ‘these people’ will make him happy then reluctantly leaves Jared with hopes he’ll one day forgive him. Once Charlie is gone, and Jared back inside the mansion, Dorian comes out of the shadows.

As Jared goes back inside the Buchanan mansion, Dorian returns home and writes down ‘Charlie Banks?’ on a piece of paper. Meanwhile, across town, Charlie finds himself at Rodie’s fighting the urge to drink!

After David pushes his way into Marcie’s room, Marcie tries to reason with him in hopes David won’t turn her in. However, David can’t forget about the million-dollar reward Todd is offering then questions Marcie, “Who should I call first… John McBain, Todd or Michael?” As David continues patronizing her, Marcie attacks David and screams, “I am begging you, David, please don’t do this! Don’t do this to my son! He needs me!” In tears, Marcie wraps her arms around David, pleading for him to do the right thing! When Tommy starts crying, Marcie picks him up and listens as David says, “I’m not heartless. I won’t call the police.” Just as Marcie thanks David profusely, he finishes with, “Just as long as you match the reward.” Though Marcie says she can’t afford it, knowing she has no choice, Marcie agrees to make some calls and to leave David with Tommy while she does so, at David’s persistence!

Alone with Tommy, David claims he’s demanding the money for Tommy's sake then tries to give him a talk about money and happiness!

At Rodie’s, as Starr asks a bartender to hang up some missing persons flyers, Michael sits at the bar and tells Starr how he had flyers made up for Marcie and Tommy – and how they didn’t work! Although Michael apologizes for what Starr’s family is going through, Starr expresses her upset that Michael kept Tommy’s paternity a secret! However, seeing Michael in pain, Starr joins him and listens how Michael begged Marcie to come home on Thanksgiving. When Michael sees Starr looking at a picture of Cole, he reassures her that John will find Cole and his mom. As their conversation goes on, Michael and Starr manage to have a civil conversation about everything mutual going on in their lives.
After Starr leaves, Michael’s cell rings and he sees that it’s Marcie!
