She was worried someone might have seen him. She thought the police would come get her and take her to jail. He told her that he wouldn’t put her in jeopardy. She wasn’t happy about pretending to be dead again. She apologized for the way she talked to him. He was okay with it. She felt alone. He told her that she had them. Vivian wanted to know what was in the carriage. Lani was upset that Dr. Raynor gave the man her babies. Laura felt bad because she made a mess out of everything.

She slapped him. He said he didn’t pay off her mother. She said he was a liar. She thought he didn’t want Abby to know what type of person he was. She regretted meeting him. She said she hated him even more than she did before.

Lani was upset with Dr. Raynor and didn’t want to hear sorry anymore. Eli wanted her to tell him everything from the beginning. She said she was given a key to a hotel room.

He felt guilty about her not being able to raise her twins. She wanted to know where he got them from and who were their parents.

Gwen wanted them to leave, but Abby refused to leave until she was finished. Jack continued to yell at Laura for keeping the truth from him. He refused to let what she did go. He thought what she did was so cruel. Ivan lied to Vivian about the twins’ parents. He made her think their parents didn’t want any contact with them. He said they would be thrilled if she took the babies. Dr. Raynor said the man made a call to someone who was going to take the babies. Lani didn’t understand why she waited so long to tell them about the call. Vivian didn’t think it was right to take care of the twins. Ivan assured her that she wouldn’t be able to let them go once she takes care of them. He wouldn’t forgive himself for failing her with Stefan and Jake. He wanted to make it up to her. She appreciated it, but she couldn’t do it. Laura blamed herself for what happened to Gwen. She was only concerned with Jennifer’s feelings. Jack reminded her how Gwen was her child and she had no idea what they’ve been through because of that child. Laura was crying and couldn’t believe what she did. Abby told Gwen that Jack didn’t pay her mother off. Gwen didn’t believe it. Abby said she knew who it was. She said Tiffany never spoke to their dad. He never knew about her and didn’t pay off Tiffany. Gwen said she resented Abby for her life. Gwen was ready to kill the person who lied to her. Abby and Chad left the hotel.
