Brendan is rushed to the hospital for an emergency operation to have a bullet removed from his upper chest. Abraham hurries to the hospital to see his critically injured father and soon discovers that his wife and son have been kidnapped.
Otto receives a frantic call from Emma, who informs him that herself and Chris were cornered by masked men and they took Chris. Otto worries that this may have something to do with Jeff's involvement with Hassam and attempts to call Abraham, but he's not home.
Elaina and Chris are tied together in a storage room, while Andy is secured in a separate room guarded. Both are confronted by Mexican arms trafficking fugitive, Eugenio Perez, who wants to get even on Elaina and Chris for exposing his illegal business. Chris asks him, why he didn't keep on running. Eugenio claims it's better to get even. Chris and Elaina beg for mercy and Eugenio cuts them a deal. Chris is to assassinate, a former rival of his family, who he currently tracked down in New Jersey, but insists he doesn't want blood on his hands and thinks that Chris would be perfect, seeing as he and Elaina, used their tabloids to expose his deals with the now deceased, Lucifer. Eugenio threats that if Chris, doesn't go through with the mission, it will be his fault that Andy will grow up without a mother.
Otto informs Jeff, by phone, (Jeff is not seen), that Chris has been kidnapped, but doesn't think it's related to him, as Elaina has been taken too.
Bethany accidently overhears Harry speaking to Lacy Norton on his cell phone and he states that he has to deal with a family issue and Lacy gives him the details of where she's staying and Harry repeats, where she is. 'The New York Skyline Hotel,' on West 49th street. Bethany suspects that Harry is being unfaithful, rather than just being aware he's a father.
Rebecca comforts Emma, who assures her that Chris is strong and will come out of whatever situation he's in, fine.
Abraham remembers, that Elaina and Chris had exposed Eugenio and Lucifer in their arms deals and that, he may have wanted to get even.
Chris is tagged and micro phoned by Eugenio and is given a vehicle, which has been stolen and is told to drive to a vantage point, and wait until the rival of Perez shows up. Elaina is temporarily reunited with her son and asks Eugenio, to not let her son witness her fate, in case Chris slips up.
Lacy returns to her hotel room and is shocked to find Bethany has snuck in. Bethany questions Lacy's relationship with Harry?
'We're not having an affair if that's what you're thinking,' Lacy adds. 'It doesn't excuse you from breaking into my room.'
'But, why would he keep the fact he has a son away from me?' Bethany asks.
'I don't know, ask him,' Lacy suggests. 'He's only just found out himself.'
'Why would you keep, something like this from him all this time? Bethany queries.
'Oh, I see, you think I'm after something,' Lacy laughs. 'Look at the photograph...
'Mrs Wilson to you,' Bethany snaps.
'As I said, look at the photograph, he's Harry's son,' Lacy answers.
'You don't expect you and Harry to rekindle old times do you?' Bethany wonders.
'Look, if you're just here to throw accusations at me, I suggest you leave,' Lacy demands.
'Then why now?' Bethany's tone raises.
'Not that it's any of your business, but I'm not long for this world,' Lacy said.
'So, Harry is just supposed to show pity and be gracious, just because you're dying?' Bethany cruelly remarks.
'I'm not doing this for me, I'm doing this because it's the right thing to do.'
'Whatever.'
'From, what Harry's told me, you've grown to love his daughter as your own. Why do you see this as a threat?'
'Forget it, my apologies for the intrusion,' Bethany sighs, before walking out.
'Now, wait a minute, I'm not finish...'
The kidnap of Chris and Elaina is made public and Abraham receives information from a source, that an unidentified limo is on the docks, where Lucifer's shipments used to dock, near the Hudson. Abraham, Otto and Harry make their way there.
Rebecca again makes a pass at Emma and she pushes her away. Rebecca declares her love for her and Emma soon realizes that Rebecca in fact seduced her unlawfully and insists she stay away from her.
Abraham, Otto and Harry infiltrate the warehouse. A shootout ensues and Harry takes Andy to safety. When Abraham enters the room, where Elaina is hostage, Eugenio tells him, what Chris is about to do and not to interfere or he will kill Elaina. Chris knows he has been tailed and any wrong move could see him killed. Chris is about to take the shot, when Elaina does something out of the blue. She notices that Eugenio is moving slowly backwards and she trips him up and Abraham opens fire and kills him. Elaina calls Chris on the phone to say they're safe and realizing that all has not gone to plan, the heavy opens fire on Chris, but Chris gets the better of the heavy and shoots him down. Abraham is reunited with Elaina and Andy.
Brendan makes a full recovery and Bethany comforts a humiliated Rebecca. Emma is joyous when she is reunited with Chris.
Lacy tells Harry she is headed back to Europe to see Joshua and apologizes for any inconvenience. Lacy doesn't tell Harry about her confrontation with Bethany. During her flight across the Atlantic, Lacy takes out what she thinks is headache pills and she gets a reaction and dies in front of shocked passengers.
