Recap:  Blake is still unconscious at the bottom of the cliff.  Krystle is at the Ranger’s office, she is still calling Blake on the walkie talkie, the ranger tells Krystle not to worry that he is probably out of range and they will find him before the storm hits.

   Joseph tells Fallon and Jeff that the nurse did leave the house, and that the police have a description of the car.  Fallon begins to cry and says that she is a terrible mother for leaving the baby, Jeff tells her that he is hurting too.  The police bring the nurse back, she tells them she went to town to get something for the cooks and, she has no clue that the baby was missing, but Fallon doesn’t believe her.

   The doctor comes out and tells Alexis that Cecil suffered a massive coronary.  She wants to go in and see him, but he tells her not yet.  Alexis doesn’t take no for an answer and tells him that she was going to marry him the next day, so he lets her inside the room.  She goes to Cecil’s bedside and talks to him, he opens his eyes, but it doesn’t look like he even knows she is there.  She tells him that she loves him and that he has to get better because they have so much that they need to do together.  She says that she wants to get married right here in his hospital room.

  It's raining and lightening, Blake begins to wake up, he hears Krystle calling him from the walkie talkie, but when he tries to grab it, it falls further down the hill.

   Jeff tells the police about the old man he saw at the cemetery, he tells them that he could id him again if he saw him.  Fallon tells them that they should be talking to the nurse.  The Lieutenant tells her that they are checking everything out.  Fallon doesn’t think they are doing enough and leaves to call Blake.

   Krystle puts on a rain poncho and goes out into the storm to look for Blake herself.

   The doctor tells Alexis that he heard about her plan to marry Cecil and tells her that he won’t allow it.  She tells him that he has made a mistake, because Cecil is a member of the hospital board.  He tells her that Cecil’s heart won’t take it, but she insists that she will marry him.  He tells her that it all depends on Cecil, and if he gets better.

   Claudia finds Jeff in the nursery, she says that no one can sleep tonight, just like she couldn’t sleep when she got the news about Lindsay.  She asks Jeff to kiss her, but he doesn’t want to, she is confused because he went to her when Fallon wouldn’t have anything to do with him, then she realizes that he is thinking about how she used him.  She tells him that God is punishing them all, and she is glad that Cecil is in the hospital.   Joseph comes in and tells Jeff that the Lieutenant is downstairs.

   Blake is trying to get up the cliff, but slips, he tries again and makes it to the top.  Krystle is still looking for him.

   The Lieutenant tells the nurse that he knows that she lied to him about why she left New York.  He tells her that he knows she is a convicted felon.  She stole a cigarette case from Cartier.  She tells him that she took it for a man who she was in love with, but who didn’t love her.  He asks who it was, she tells them that is was Nick Toscanni.  She says that she followed him to Denver, but she swears that she doesn’t know anything about the baby’s kidnapping.  Once she is gone Jeff tells the Lieutenant about the last time he saw Nick and how angry he seemed when he talked about the baby.

   Krystle is off her horse searching for Blake, she sees him walking towards her.  Blake looks up and sees Krystle and they walk towards each other.

   Blake is taken to the hospital, he wants to go home, but the doctor tells him that they want to keep him over night.  Alexis sees him being taken into a room, she goes over to Krystle.  She asks her what happened.  Krystle tells her that if she hadn’t had her wedding set up on their lawn that this would never have happened.  Krystle leaves her and goes into the room.  Blake tries to get her to take him home but she tells him that he has to rest, she even turned off the phones in his room.  She comments about how Nick told her he never saw Blake.  Blake tells her that he did see Nick, he wonders what Nick is up to.

   Jeff tells Krystle about the baby.  Alexis goes over to Krystle and tells her that she won’t be blamed for what happened to Blake, Krystle tells her that she should be more concerned about her daughter now that the baby has been kidnapped.  Krystle tells Blake about the baby, and he tells her that they have to go back to the house.  Alexis walks in and asks him if their nightmare is happening all over again.  Before they leave the hospital Blake questions the doctor about Nick.  He tells them that Nick quit and disappeared.

   At the house Blake tells Jeff about his fight with Nick, he is sure that Nick is behind the kidnapping.  Blake checks on Fallon as she is sleeping.  He promises her that he will get her baby back.

   Blake says that he is going to go on the news and make an appeal to have the baby returned to them.  The Lieutenant tells him that he is sure that Blake must have more than one enemy, not to just assume that it is Nick.  Alexis comes and says that they went through this before and they will get through it again together.

   Krystle asks Blake about what Alexis said, but he tells her that he doesn’t want to talk about it, he doesn’t want to open old wounds, he tells her that he is sorry and tells her that he can’t talk about it yet, she tells him that she understands.

   Fallon goes into the nursery and Claudia follows her inside, she tells her that she is glad that she isn’t like her, she can see the hope in her eyes.  She tells Fallon not to let go of it.  A camera man walks in and tells Fallon that Blake wants the press conference filmed in the nursery.

   Blake asks Claudia about the man she saw.  She says that she is sure he had a beard, she tells him that she woke up and remembered that the car had an odd emblem on it, like a curlicue, he asks her if it could be Arabic, she says that it could.  Blake says that it must have been Ahmed.

   An old lady comforts the baby, she opens the door and gives the baby to someone.

   The family all gathers in the nursery and give the press conference.  Blake makes his plea, and Alexis interrupts and tells them about Adam, their first son who was kidnapped twenty-five years ago.

   An old lady is watching the press conference, she is crying, Michael walks in and she calls him Adam.  He tells her that his name is Michael, and she tells him no, his name is Adam Carrington.  He tells her not to get upset, that it is only a tv program.  The doctor comes in and checks on the old lady.  He tells Michael that she won’t be with them much longer.  Michael tells him that he thinks she has become delusional.  He tells Michael that she is still as sharp as a tack.

   Alexis asks Blake what if it will be just like Adam.  Blake turns and hugs Fallon.

Final Thoughts:  Loved the ending.  I really doubt that Nick had anything to do with the kidnapping, it is more likely that it was Ahmed that is responsible.  Even the creepy old man at the cemetery seemed more like a red herring then an actual suspect.  Can’t wait for the return of Adam, and see what kind of drama comes with that.

Best Outfit:  I choose this because I noticed that Krystle's pants were made of matching fabric.  I love that Alexis has a Kleenex in her bracelet.  This has nothing to do with an outfit but why is Joseph in the video plea, he's not a member of the family no matter what any of them say.
