Sarah visits Maggie in Statesville. She admits she shouldn’t have taken the baby and did it out of desperation. Maggie says she now knows she killed her own grandchild. “Yes you did,” Sarah deadpans. Maggie lets her daughter know Xander explained the baby switch and that Victor did it to protect her. He didn’t think she could live with what she’s done. Maggie tears up. She knows how much pain Sarah has suffered because of her. Maggie doesn’t know how to live with herself. Sarah’s in no position to cast stones. She kidnapped a baby and left Rex tied up in an apartment. And still, he forgave her. Even Kristen understood why she kidnapped the baby. Sarah thinks it’s fair that she forgive her mother. “You have a disease and you did something awful but it was never anything you meant to do.” Maggie remembers holding the bottle and taking out the glass. “I obviously drank so much I blacked out.” She still knows she’s responsible. Sarah calls herself lucky to be Maggie’s daughter and could never hate her. Maggie doesn’t think she deserves Sarah’s forgiveness. Sarah disagrees and holds her mother’s hand. As they talk, Maggie lets Sarah know that Kristen stabbed Victor. Sarah’s time is up so she goes, leaving Maggie in tears, muttering, “I love you so much but you won’t ever see me again.”
At SPD, Zoey tells Rafe that Evan confessed a secret. Though she’s bound by attorney/client confidentiality, she’s telling Rafe anyway, because she’s worried about what Orpheus is going to do next. Zoey says Orpheus came to Salem a year ago with thoughts of taking David. He didn’t have money so he considered kidnapping Maggie Kiriakis and holding her for ransom last Mother’s Day. Evan and Orpheus showed up at the mansion and found Maggie considering a drink. Orpheus chloroformed her before she took a sip. Evan wasn’t comfortable with it but went along. “There were two murders,” Zoey admits. She flashes to Orpheus kidnapping and driving with Evan and Orpheus to Rafe’s house. On the way, Orpheus looked into the back seat to talk to Evan when he ran them off the road. Rafe sighs. It’s the same day Adrienne Kiriakis was killed in a car accident along with Sarah Horton’s baby. Zoey blames Orpheus for this. Orpheus put Maggie into the driver’s seat and poured vodka on her to make it appear as if she’d been drinking. Rafe realizes Maggie didn’t do anything wrong and can be released from prison.
