So far, eight explosions have rang out all over town; Abe lies in his hospital bed, worrying because he can’t do anything about it.  He tells Theo he knows how hard it was to stand by and watch his mother slip away, but trying to take on Clyde Weston on his own was dangerous… the machines beep; Theo looks worried.  Abe tells him to promise he won’t take things into his own hands again; People at Club TBD are on the ground, coughing, some injured; Dario comes around the corner.  Eduardo is calling for help; he catches Dario as he collapses.  Sonny finds Paul, injured on the floor of John and Marlena’s house; Paul passes out.  Sonny calls 911 and gives him a few breaths (yay, writers!); Paul comes to, and Sonny is relieved.  Paul asks what he’s doing there; he says he just came by to check on him.  Paul looks happy for a moment, and then sees one of Will’s plaques on the wall and pulls away.  John arrives and offers to help get him to the hospital.  

Kayla is on the phone with the hospital; Steve is on the phone with Adrian… she’s concerned because she was on the phone with Sonny when she heard an explosion.  The kids, waiting at the hospital, offer to help with whatever they can; Blanca says they need more beds from the basement.  Eduardo takes Dario to the hospital; Dario asks why Eduardo is helping him, after what he did.  Eduardo says he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.  Dario confesses everything to his father; Eduardo tells him that was a serious mistake, but he wants him to forgive himself.  

Kayla asks Paul what happened; he says a bomb knocked over a tree and it fell on him… she orders x-rays.  Sonny offers to stay with him, but Paul tells him he’ll be fine.  Sonny stays by his side anyway; he falls asleep.  Kayla checks on Abe; she says the bullet fragment is on the move to his heart, which will cause significant damage.  He needs another operation as soon as this emergency is over; she asks him to stay still and as calm as possible.  He says he’d rather be out there; she says he is staying put.  Blanca bandages Dario’s chest; she calls him “bullheaded.”

Eduardo is feeling guilty about everything because the convicts being on the loose is his fault (from wrecking the prison van); Kate has a suspicion that he is not telling her something.  He tells her everything, and says it’s all his fault.  She tells him that he should talk to his kids.  Joey comes to get Paul for x-rays; he congratulates Sonny on saving Paul’s life and says it’s obvious that he cares about him.  He thinks they should be together.  Kayla asks Steve what it’s like out there; if there is more to come.  He tells her he just doesn’t know
