On the phone to Ethan, a disappointed Paige reveals that the notebook she swiped from Kathy doesn't answer any of the crucial questions about her adoption – like, how did Kathy get away with it? Taking his advice, she decides it's time to confront Kathy. In the meantime, Kathy has learned from Terese about some of Paige's dubious behaviour when she first came to town.

Reeling after her discovery of the two teddy bears, Lauren is at first shocked to discover they're Paige's, then devastated to find she's gone. Desperate, Lauren hunts her down and manages to catch her just as she's about to leave town. The reunion between mother and daughter is heartfelt, tentative, but ultimately a step in the right direction.
