The message rocked Abby to her core. They couldn’t help but worry who or what may have abducted Logan. In Walter’s memory, a janitor had been the object of his mistreatment at the maternity hospital. Might he be the one?
Despite his reservations, Walter proposed involving the authorities in the hopes that they would apprehend the janitor and ensure Logan’s safe return. Abby was hesitant to call the police for fear of further endangering their kid. They chose to put their faith in the authorities despite the dangers.
Walter received a terrifying text message on his phone as they parked close to the police station. It implied that, in order to keep Logan alive, they should not involve the authorities. They had to pay the ransom since they had no other option.
Unfortunately, Abby’s health deteriorated as Walter hurried to the bank to withdraw the funds. She became sick and couldn’t go with him. Because of the pressing need for her to return home, Walter made the tough choice to do so.
Concerned and unsure of what to do, Walter paid the ransom and waited nervously for word on Logan’s whereabouts. Their dreams were dashed when they learned that the person they had taken hostage—Abby—was really the mastermind.
Walter, distraught, went to Abby and demanded to know what had happened. Logan was not his real kid, she said, and she had planned the whole extortion plot to take advantage of his condition.
Walter was still intent on getting Logan and making sure he was safe after Abby’s treachery devastated him. He went to the maternity hospital for advice since he was hell-bent on getting his kid back. He helped the doctor persuade Abby that Logan needed to be sent to the hospital immediately.
Just as Abby and Logan reached the hospital, the FBI and police were preparing to arrest her and her accomplice, James. Now that Logan was back in Walter’s arms, he could finally relax.
But in the middle of all that mayhem, Abby tried to harm Walter one last time. The fact that Logan was not his biological relative was mercilessly disclosed to him by her. Even if Walter’s world crumbled anew, his love for Logan never wavered.
Walter swore he would be Logan’s best parent, even if it meant formally adopting him, once he was back in his care. Walter would never give up on his love for his kid, no matter how bad things got.
