Cole assumed that James was here to convince Starr to come back to him and shouted loudly to a dead-James: "Serves you right, James! You couldn't handle Starr coming back to me! I'm glad you're dead!"
Just as he said that, James brother, Nick walked into Hope's hospital room, "Cole, you have it all wrong!"
"What do you mean?" Cole asked Nick.
"James came here to alert you and Starr that he overheard Stefan ordering Allison Perkins to kidnap John and Michael."
"James did that?" Cole said shocked.
"Yes, he overheard what Stefan was planning and came here to try stop it."
"And he got shot and killed in the process." Cole said. "And Starr may lose her life as well."
Just as Cole said that, the doctor who was called in to replace Michael walked into Hope's hospital room.
"Mr. Thornhart, I have good news for you."
"Yes, doctor?"
"Starr came through surgery remarkably well and is resting in the adjoining room next to your daughter's."
"Oh, thank you doctor." Cole said. "May I go see her?"
"Yes, you may."
"Robert, will you look after Hope?"
"I'd be glad to."
As Robert sat down next to Hope's bedside, Cole went next door to see Starr. She was resting, still on a ventilator when Cole went inside Starr's room to see her, along with the doctor.
"It's only for precaution." the doctor told Cole. "We will be removing it tomorrow. Starr is making remarkable progress."
"Thank you."
Cole sat down next to Starr and held her hand, "I'm so grateful you're going to be alright."
Cole kissed Starr tenderly on the lips as he lay next to her in her hospital bed and held her.
Meanwhile, Allison was driving the van that was supposed to take John and Michael to the abandoned warehouse Stefan ordered her to take John and Michael has gone off the side of the road.
Allison wakes to find John holding a gun on her, as she spies a patrol car sitting next to the wrecked van.
"What is going on?" Allison asks.
"You're going to take me to whoever order you to kidnap us."
"Like hell I will!" Allison snapped.
"Yes, you will, or you'll find yourself behind bars."
Allison got in the back seat of the patrol car as John got in the driver's seat and Michael in the passenger's seat next to John.
