Paul has good news; the computer fraud charges are being dropped. Jack’s sure Phyllis forced Victor to do this. He must get to her before Ian realizes they’re on to him. Unfortunately, the charges against Abby and Vikki stand (much to Billy’s amusement)
In Paul’s office, he, Dylan and Mike know Ian could have escaped. He prays on women, Dylan knows it’s a stretch – but is it a coincidence? Does he have anything to do with Hilary’s disappearance?
Summer understands Noah’s pissed because Victor disapproves of Marisa but he doesn’t deserve to be attacked. Noah hints that there’s more, but is interrupted by a text from Marisa – she’s left town – for good.
It’s not a good time, Adam tells Jack – who announces that Fred is really Ian Ward (behind Paragon) Adam lies with ease – it makes sense. We have to shut him down before he destroys the Abbotts and the Newmans.
Victor’s lambasting the Warden for letting Ian, a known pervert, escape to endanger everyone in town; including his family. The Warden makes a call to prove Victor wrong – bring him in here. Victor my friend, Ian slithers in wearing a robe – to what do I owe the pleasure?
ON the phone, Neil’s just arranged medical transport within the hour when Gwen arrives – stunned to see Hilary (and Neil’s stunned to see her)
Next: Paul talks to Devon and the Ashby’s – Experience tells me that if this person feels backed up against the wall, they might just do something even more desperate than they already have. Meanwhile, Neil grabs Gwen by the wrist … Adam scares Chelsea – baby I made a big mistake.
My Thoughts: I don’t know which is more laughable – that Ian Ward managed to sneak himself back into prison or that we have yet another doppelganger; another identical twin right down to the mannerisms and voice. It’s also quite un-Adamesque to be caught off-guard and knocked out by a man much shorter and older than he is. It is kind of funny that it’s a ‘virus’ Ian’s in the infirmary for. I’m actually enjoying the friendship between Adam and Jack – it’ll be a shame when Jack learns he’s being paying Adam to investigate a virus he co-created and unleashed … Since Summer and Phyllis saw Ian in the park, why wouldn’t Paul think to review surveillance footage from the cameras HE has posted there??? … Noah wasn’t nearly hard enough on Victor. So the Abbott’s are about to pay for their crimes, Victor says with a straight face .. Given all the punches that fly at the club, it’s a bit silly for Vikki and Abby to be arrested for getting physical. And did everyone have to be brought in wearing handcuffs. Funny how they all sat around the station like they were in the 80’s Breakfast Club.
