But Elizabeth is already on her way for her shift at the hospital. Jessica becomes upset, because she needs the Jeep for Nicholas Morrow’s party.

She tries to break free, but the ropes tied around her hands and feet are too strong. The front door opens and Peter walks in, saying that he’s got dinner for them. Elizabeth is shocked and appalled when she sees him. Before she can say anything else, she blacks out once again.

Then he laughs, which makes Elizabeth even more worried than she is.

Meanwhile, Jessica is trying to impress Nicholas but is having no luck with him. Elizabeth is asking Peter several questions, such as where she is and why he’s done this to her. Peter tells her it’s a place where they can be happy and tells her that he’s doing this only because he loves her. Elizabeth says she wants to go home, but Peter insists that she will be happy here with him. Many times, Elizabeth begs Peter to let her go, but he refuses. So, Elizabeth tells him that the ropes are hurting her and Peter unties them for her. Taking advantage of the situation, Elizabeth hits him with a lamp and tries to make a run for the door.

At the party, Todd is furious with Jessica for the lie she told him and Jessica is upset because Todd interrupted her dance.

Suddenly, the police show up. They ask him to come out of the car and they place him under arrest. They return to the home of the Wakefields and explains to Jessica that there are signs her sister has been kidnapped. Jessica starts to cry, while Todd asks them some questions. They tell him that they have Winston in custody. The next day, Peter is getting ready for work, so Elizabeth gives him her friendship bracelet, hoping someone will see it and come find her.

Jessica runs into the kitchen, crying, just as a fight breaks out in the living room. Jessica rushes back into the living room to see Winston and Todd fighting. Winston tells him that the police didn’t think he did anything and they let him go. Now, he is angry that Todd and now everyone else, would think that he had done something to her.

At the hospital, Winston hands Peter a flyer and Peter acts like he knows nothing about Elizabeth’s disappearance. When Winston meets up with Todd, Todd still believes that he was involved with Elizabeth’s disappearance. Suddenly, Winston recalls that Peter was wearing Elizabeth’s bracelet. At the same time, Jessica is hanging a flyer and Peter thinks that Jessica is Elizabeth. He’s about to attack Jessica with a scalpel, who screams just seconds before Todd and Winston come to her rescue.
