Waylon Norris has abducted Emma and demanded Axel as the bargaining chip. Axel agrees to be used to secure Emma’s release while his wife Clare protests and tries to stop him. Waylon then brings Clare (Ms. Bowen) to his location, restrains her and offers a deal: call Axel now; if he returns Clare will be freed and Emma will be sent back first. Clare pleads for help; someone tells her she’s safe for the moment. The episode ends with Clare begging, 'Axel, pick up the phone,' forcing an urgent choice.
