Ciara’s bored at the hospital and can’t find her remote control for the television. She finds the second Alice book instead. She recalls him trying to get her to remember and looks through the book, remembering reading it while she was kidnapped. She remembers the connection to Ben when he found her. Meanwhile, Ben holds the first one and feels his connection to his wife. “Ciara,” he says. Ciara smiles as they both remember that Ben found her. By the hub, Belle and Shawn are shaken up. Belle rants that Jan should be in prison right now. They’re horrified that she’s blackmailing them. Jan wants them to panic so instead, they agree to come up with a plan to deal with the psycho. Belle goes to see her parents while Shawn visits Ciara. She asks if he’s found their mother. He hasn’t. She left Salem months ago to look for her. Ciara asks him to call her and tell her she’s back. Shawn assumes she has “no cell service wherever she is or…” Ciara finishes, “She’s too sad to talk to anyone. Ciara misses her.” Shawn promises he’ll bring her home. He asks about the book and Ciara relays how Ben Weston brought a bunch of things to her to see if she’d remember their life together. She doesn’t remember anything and doesn’t think she wants to. Shawn tells his sister that Ben wouldn’t give up on her when the rest of them thought she was dead. He risked his life to save her! Ciara tells Ben about the so-called psychic connection they share. Shawn suggests she talk to Marlena. Ciara admits she did and suggested hypnosis to get her memories back.
