Abby talks to one of the crew watching the house, as a storm seems to be approaching; Chad is headed off to a corporate meeting.  Abby locks the door behind him.  Where did that guard go?  As Abby holds and sings to what is obviously a doll, she hears noises and sees the door shaking.  Abby nervously hums; JJ arrives.  He goes to ‘check the house’ again.  Abby puts the baby in his carrier and hears more noise.  She looks in the drawer at a gun; closes the drawer.  Picks up the baby again (now it’s a real baby) and turns to go up the stares.  She hears the door; a dark figure stands in the doorway.  It’s Chad.  So the plan is to make Ben think Chad is gone; Abby goes to put Thomas to bed (who appears to be a doll wrapped in a blanket again.  Of course, the power goes out.  She sits down to feed him (real again) as the storm rages outside; a window pops open… as she stares at it, the lightening reveals a man’s shadow outside the doorway behind her.  Chad and JJ hear a noise; is it just the storm? JJ goes to investigate. 

As Abby goes the lay the baby down, she sees the shadow.  What it just a stuffed gorilla?  I don’t think so.  The phone rings; when Abby answers it, there is just heavy breathing.  She hangs up; her mother calls back saying she had just run up the stairs to close her bedroom window – had a bad connection first call.  Abby really starts to get spooked when she calls for Chad and JJ and neither one answers; she puts the baby back in his carseat.  She grabs the fire poker and runs into the other room; when she comes back into the room with the baby, she sees Ben outside the French doors.  She runs out of the doors swinging the poker and screaming at Ben.  She almost hits JJ; she tells Chad she saw Ben out in the garden.  JJ goes out to check.  He finds nothing.  Abby swears she saw him.  JJ talks to Abby to remind her how she used to keep him safe and calm; tells her she’s strong and she can do this.  JJ gets a call of a possible sighting and goes to meet the team. 

Alone in the house with Thomas, Abby sees a shadow cross the wall; she gets the gun out of the drawer.  Chad comes in to see Abby holding the gun up; asks what she’s doing… takes the gun and goes to look.  Abby hears the baby mobile.  When she looks in the carseat, Thomas is gone – Ben is standing there, holding the baby.
