Chad and Stephanie discuss her parents’ kidnapper. Chad points out he hasn’t made any ransom demands and let Kayla get to a phone. Which means he isn’t a great criminal. He also muses that he probably isn’t taking orders from Megan because she’s in prison. Stephanie wonders when he got his detective badge. Chad quips her dad taught her to pick locks, his was a master criminal. He thinks their best clue is Kayla saying Victor’s name. He’s sure she’s at one of his properties.

Kayla starts to get through to her brother at the lab, but an emotional Bo collects himself. He tells her once he has the serum, he will sell it to the highest bidder.
