Ashley accuses Alan of not being there in Paris. Ashley is convinced that Alan is actually Martin. Alan denies it, but when Traci attempts to pacify her, he takes off in a hurry. Inconsolable, Traci confesses that the man she loved would not behave that way. Ashley tells her it's because this guy is not Alan.

Jack calls Chance, who sees Alan at a bar and asks him about a farmhouse nearby that is suspected to be the abductor's hideout. Alan dodges the inquiry. Still suspicious, Chance invites him to the station for further interrogation.

Elsewhere, Phyllis informs Summer of further developments, including a gas gadget discovered at the residence of one connected to the case. She tells her that officials suspect that Alan could have been killed and that his deranged twin brother, Martin, took over his identity. Summer is amazed to hear that a person who may have kidnapped her mom was residing in the vicinity of Harrison.
