-Victor is worried about the operation tonight. Nico assures Victor it will be fine. Victor wishes Nico would be there but Phillip's kidnappers would no way want Victor's right hand man to be there.

-Abe comes home from work and is packing for Morgan Island. His plane is leaving shortly so he has to move. Celeste is in the shower and is going to watch Theo. While in the shower, she has terrible vibrations of tragedy hitting Salem and Morgan Island. Meanwhile, downstairs, Abe finds Lexie's ripped clothes (the ones that were placed in the area behind the couch by the mysterious stranger that lurked in the house the previous night) from her night with Tek at Dune when he almost caught them. He recognizes them as the clothes she was wearing that night and flashes back to his phone conversation with her when she confessed that she was out with Tek at Dune that night. Theo is playing on the ground near Abe and says the words "A..le..x....mom..my...mom..my..hu..rt" Abe asks Theo what he means. Theo repeats the line (remembering the words on the tape the mysterious stranger switches with his music tape and then switched back) over and over again only this time he says it in a sentence "Alex hurt mommy." Abe remembers all the time he caught Lexie with Tek as he was comforting her and he knows he is a trusted friend of hers ever since when he was on the island believed dead by everyone. He notes Lexie's ripped clothes and how upset and hesistant she looked around Alex like she was afraid of something. Abe also remembers when Alex asked him about infidelity and if he ever would forgive Lexie and how smugly he did it. Saying that all the signs are there, Abe deduces that Lexie must have gotten close to the truth about Alex and he raped her. Tek must have been comforting her at Dune. She may have went there and the ripped clothes to have a drink to try to forget what happened. He beleives it happened multiple times but has gotten worse. He thinks that is why she pushes for her and him to make love so she can wipe out the memory of him raping her. Abe is livid. Celeste walks down the stairs. Abe gives her Theo and says he has to go. Celeste asks what is wrong, noting how angry Abe looks. She sees he found the clothes and she wonders how he did.

However, he was already in Alex's employ and he has never let him out since threatening to spill to the world the underhanded schemes he committed. That is why Tek romances a lot of married women and left them after divorce. He wanted love but could never stay in just one place so he romances married women and when it was time to move on to another job for Alex or when the woman great too depended on him he left her because he could never involved someone else in his life and could not have a long term relationship.

We are all going to face our greatest challenge yet and many of us won't make it out of it alive.
