They shift over to discussing the necklace and Gwen says owning it is just the start of what she has planned for Salem.
Leo tells Gwen he has a tidbit of gossip as she saw her heading into the Salem Inn with Xander. He wonders if she is really getting involved with someone who broke her heart.

They exchange a smile and Xander caresses her shoulder before she exits right past Philip.
Philip asks Xander what he did to upset Gabi and the two begin to go at each other just as Johnny walks in to film their statement. Xander wonders if it was a good idea to bring Johnny on board as EJ owns the hospital and he and his father have made nice. Johnny admits he is on better terms with his dad but is loyal to their company. Philip asks for a minute and sends Johnny out. He tells Xander all the reasons they should keep Johnny on board. Johnny returns and Philip says he's not going anywhere.

Tate and Rafe continue searching for Holly and Arianna Grace. Tate shows Rafe Holly's class ring that Felicity found. Rafe says he's checking out some abandoned buildings. Tate wants to help but Rafe tells him to stay behind while he takes a look. After Rafe leaves, Tate immediately goes to search.
Tate searches for the empty warehouse when he hears Arianna Grace screaming. He heads to the door and he and Holly call out to each other. Tate kicks in the door and hugs Holly. Rafe arrives and says Arianna is stuck in the vent. As Rafe calls out to her, the vent crashes and Arianna screams. Rafe continues to call out to her but she is unconscious. Rafe somehow gets to her and puts her on a table just as Javi arrives to tend to her. Gabi arrives just after Arianna regains consciousness.

Gabi gets a call from Javi that Arianna and Holly have been found in a local warehouse, and he is on his way. Leo and Gabi are both in tears when they awkwardly hug.
Leo calls young Douglas and is furious when he finds out his loan shark took the girls. He thinks Gabi will never forgive him if she knew his connection to the situation.
