Marlena goes hysterical when she realizes Belle is not in her room. She quickly calls Roman on his cell phone telling him she thinks Brady kidnapped her. Just then Mimi arrives with Sean pushing Belle in the wheelchair. Sean tells Marlena they were just giving Belle a ride around the hospital. Marlena tells Roman everything is ok. Sean leaves to get a soda and Belle questions her mother on her behavior. Marlena tells Belle she just wants to get her home. Belle tells Marlena she wants to wait for Brady and John. Marlena gives a look to Mimi. Belle notices and demands an explanation. Mimi thinks they should tell her another time but Marlena insists on telling her. Just as she is about to tell her, Sean comes in the room and suggests they go home and eat pumpkin pie. Meanwhile Roman and Abe are on the look out for Brady. John wants to reach Brady before they do. Brady, after getting thrown out of the car he hitchhiked in, meets face to face with a rattlesnake. He tells it he won't hurt it if it doesn't hurt him. The rattlesnake slithers off. John is able to listen to the police radio/dispatch as Roman talks with the other officers about Brady's whereabouts. John pretends to be officer and calls the truck stop, informing them to call him on his cell phone if they see anyone fitting Brady's description. Belle tells Marlena to go upstairs and relax because she was looking stressed out and anxious. Marlena, thinking Belle wants some privacy with her friends goes upstairs. She calls John and tells him that Belle is home. John is relieved but cuts the conversation short because he is trying to get more feedback off the police radio. He hangs up just as Marlena asks him where Brady is. Marlena concerned calls Roman again to hear if there is any news. Roman tells Marlena to calm down and that he will call her as soon as possible. Just then Roman gets a tip that Brady is in their general venicity possibly heading toward the truck stop. John over hears this and tries to beat them there, but is delayed by a train. Mimi starts talking about how weird she thinks Chloe is but says that she would take Brady's weirdness over Chloe's any day. Belle asks her to explain what she means. Sean rolls his eyes in concern. Mimi tells Belle not to worry that she meant nothing and Belle demands to know. She says she will call her father and he will tell her the truth. Brady reaches the truck stop, finds a baseball cap in the trashcan and puts it on before he goes in hoping to disguise himself. When he goes in he also spots some sunglasses and uses John's credit card to buy that and a meal. While waiting at the counter, there is a woman and two small boys behind Brady. They begin shooting their water guns at him. Brady turns around in disgust. Belle calls John and he is happy to hear from her. She asks him where he is and he tells her that a train has delayed him. Belle can hear the sound of the train. Belle asks to speak to Brady but John tells her he had some business to take care of and cannot come to the phone. Just then the train blares its horn and causes Belle to remember the accident. She flashes back to her screaming for Brady and remembers how he helped her free her foot. She tells John she remembers and John is relieved. Back at the truck stop Brady befriends the little boys and their mother. One of the little boys tells Brady he has an extra water gun if he wanted to play with them. Brady agree and the mother tells him her husband was a policeman killed in the line of fire. Brady feels remorse and begins to shoot the water gun at the little kids then suggests they pretend he's the bad guy. The mother agrees to join in and they all stand up against the counter. Brady stands in front of them pointing the gun at them all, shouting to keep their hands up. Just then Roman and Abe arrive outside and peek in the window. Startled they take out their guns and begin to go in armed thinking it is for real. John overjoyed tells Belle he must go and speeds to the truck stop. Marlena comes down the stairs in time to hear Belle say Brady saved her life. Marlena questions Belle, and Belle becomes angry claiming Marlena does not want it to be true. Claiming that she can't accept Brady loves her and didn't try to kill her. Roman and Abe burst in guns pointed at Brady, but Roman slips on water from the floor and the guns accidentally shoots up in the air.
