After Abe tells Rafe that Aiden is the new DA, he gets pissed; even if Justin quit, why appoint a criminal?  They say he wasn’t convicted.  Rafe claims there must be more to the story – he was going to kill Hope, he’s a gambler – why would the mayor appoint him?   Roman tells Rafe they can’t fight it, it is the way it has to be.  Justin confronts Aiden, who tells him he was just playing along; he loves Salem because family takes care of each other and here they have all the right connections.  Justin realizes Aiden set this all up; he wishes him good luck and leaves.  Rafe confronts Aiden next, and tells him that he doesn’t know how he did it, but he is sure he’s not going to get away with it.  

Teresa, John and Brady race to a hotel room where they have followed leads to the woman who took Tate – they knock on the door pretending to be housekeeping.  No response.  The hotel manager gives Brady an extra key card; he has kids and sympathizes.  They rush in; there is a an empty crib… Teresa starts crying; they are too late.  Then they hear a muffled baby cry; behind a fake wall, they find another crib, with baby Tate in it!  Teresa grabs him, so happy to see him; thank God, he is okay.  Brady finds a burner-phone on the floor, only one number on it; he calls; Victor answers.  Brady hangs up.  Victor sits with Maggie as they wait for the doctor to come in to check on her; he gets a phone call, but no one responds.  

The doctor comes in and tests Maggie’s reflexes; she feels her foot, her ankle and her leg below the knee – Caroline and Sonny walk in just as Maggie says she is so grateful to Deimos.  Caroline can’t believe it.  Victor gives Maggie a pair of red shoes; says he’s had them ever since he told her he was going to take her dancing again.  Deimos and Nicole come in to hear the good news; Victor invites them out to dinner.  Brady and John come into the hospital room, announcing that they are there to arrest Victor for conspiracy to kidnapping; Victor denies any involvement, but an officer says they have to take him in.  Sonny thinks that Deimos has somehow set this all up to screw over Victor.  Sonny goes to Justin (his dad), telling him he’s sure Deimos is behind this; Deimos makes a call, saying he wants to know everything about Victor’s arrest but needs them to be discrete.  Nicole looks a little concerned.  

Justin explains to Sonny why he had to resign; he had stolen evidence to try to help Victor.  Abe allowed him to resign quietly for personal reasons; Sonny tells him he is sure this is all a set up, because his ‘Uncle Vic’ wouldn’t kidnap Tate.  Justin assures him that he will represent Victor and look into it.  As Maggie stresses over Victor’s arrest, Caroline tries to comfort her – but when Maggie says there is no way Victor could have done this, Caroline tells her she’s afraid he did.  She tells Maggie about her vision in the hotel room that day, when she touched the phone, and that Victor told her she should just keep it to herself.  Victor swears to Roman that they have the wrong man.  Deimos asks Nicole why she looks upset; after reminding him that he swore to her he would never lie to her, she asks him if he had anything to do with Tate’s kidnapping and framing Victor for it.
