Cole cried tears of joy upon seeing Starr and Hope enter the apartment after their kidnapping ordeal. They shared a family hug, and Starr promised that they'd never be apart again. He apologized for trusting Hannah, who was being brought into custody at that moment. Starr explained that Hannah tried to kill her and James, burying them alive, but that James came to her rescue. At the LPD, John advised a handcuffed Marty to seek counsel, but she insisted that she killed Eli and is prepared to pay for it. Marty faced off with Hannah, who was more crazy than ever as she assumed that Marty would stand by her once again in court. Hannah was led away in handcuffs, leaving Marty to blame herself for her granddaughter's kidnapping. Natalie returned with the forensics results and reluctantly confirmed to John that Marty's prints were on the gun, and so were Cole's. John gave Marty a knowing look and told her that taking the rap for Cole would never have worked. He turned to Nat and advised her to find James pronto.

At the hospital, Blair caught up Langston and Kelly on her own ordeal. She explained that she's having trouble reaching James, who eventually phoned Langston from the LPD. Langston reported to Blair that James, Starr and Hope are fine, but Blair was furious to hear that Hannah put her daughter in danger and blamed Marty for allowing Hannah to be released from St. Ann's. Dorian arrived and told her girls that they all owe Marty for ending Eli's reign of terror. Blair was shocked to hear that Marty had supposedly killed Eli.

Back at Starr and Cole's, Cole confessed to Starr that when he thought she and Hope were dead, he lost control and shot Eli. Starr was terrified of what this could mean for their family and suggested they hire a good lawyer. Just then, James arrived to warn Cole that the cops figured out his prints were on the weapon and are probably on their way right now. When John and the cops did arrive, Cole was nowhere to be seen and Starr was at the hospital reuniting with the Cramer women. Meanwhile, Marty swore to Natalie that she'd make her pay for destroying her family.

Dorian ran into Clint and noticed the half-heart necklace in his hand and remarked on how cheap it looks. Clint taunted Dorian by asking if she'd heard from her wayward ex-fiancé. Dorian claimed that she'd actually ignored a call from David the other day. When Clint informed Dorian that he's helping Viki investigate Echo DiSavoy, she warned him to watch his back. Clint returned home and showed the pendant to Nigel, who asked if he plans to give it to a woman. Clint thought back to a conversation between him and Echo in which she recalled that he purchased that necklace for her on a business trip. "I already did," he cryptically answered Nigel.

At Llanfair, Viki and Rex showed Echo a photo of the matching pendant, but she pretended to not recognize it. When Rex explained that he took that photo in her hotel room, Echo accused him of breaking and entering. Viki noted that the necklace in her possession has personal meaning for Rex and he deserves an explanation. Rex read aloud a letter from Rick to Lili about the necklace, which was left with him at the hospital where he was born. Echo flashed back to a conversation with Clint about the necklace in which she admitted that's not the only "precious thing" she left behind. Nevertheless, Echo refused to give them answers, only saying she received the necklace as a gift from someone. Echo swiftly returned to the Angel Square Hotel, where she pulled out her precious necklace, then began looking at photos of Rex at different ages on her laptop. Meanwhile, Viki asked Rex if she could take a look at Rick and Lili's letters, remarking that the letter he read earlier sounded awfully familiar to her. Over at the Buchanan manse, Clint leafed through a book called The Love Letters of Rick and Lili, by Blaize Pardee, a Buchanan ancestor.
