The Next Morning

Jane wakes up and gets out of bed. She goes to the bathroom and then goes downstairs. When she gets down there, she's grabbed from behind and knocked out with chloroform. The kidnappers quietly drag her outside into their van. They drive away.

An hour later, Maura and Arizona wake up to the triplets crying. They go to wake up Jane, but they see she's gone. They get up and tend to them, then go to find Jane. She's nowhere to be found. They get dressed and call BPD. Frost & Korsak come and look through the house. Nothing to tie anyone to the kidnapping. Now, they just have to wait.

Where the Kidnapper Took Jane

Jane: Why am I here? What-What-What is this place? I don't understand.
Why are you doing this? Why won't you talk?! Please. Please. Talk to me! Why are you doing this?!

At BPD

Frost: She's been missing 5 hours.

Cindy: What is this, kidnapping?

Jill: Off-The-Record?

Cindy: Jill, it has been so long since we were on-The-Record, I've put the record away.

Jill: Five hours and no ransom demand.

With Maura & Arizona

Frost: Can you think of anyone who might have a grudge against you guys? Anyone she mentioned?

Maura: No. I don't-I don't know. I-no. No one. You have to find Jane. Please.

They walk out to the bullpen with them. Maura and Arizona sit at Janes desk. They see an envelope laying there and decide to open it. They dump the contents out onto the desk. When they do, they stand up. It's a crystal rabbit, a serrated knife and a piece of Janes hair.

Maura: Oh, God. It's Kiss-Me-Not.

In the Morgue

Maura: Now forensics found no prints on the rabbit- Not Janes or the killers.

Korsak: So the killer must have brought it with him.

Frost: Who brings a crystal figurine to a kidnapping?

Maura: Maybe it was a, I don't know, a message to us. He was wearing gloves.
There was no fingerprints. That's not a message to us. That's a message to Arizona and I.

Frost: And the crystal rabbit?

Maura: Well, look at all the other crime scenes- The-The mouse, the tub, the-The key, the lilacs- All symbols of some sort of ritual, And the crystal rabbit was another one. He meant it for Jane. He's back. He's killing again, and Jane's his next victim.

In the Bullpen

Looking at the Evidence Board.

Frost: Everything in the envelope is clean except for the paint residue in the hair.

Korsak: Why in the hair and not on the carpet?

Frost: Well, okay, look. You see these threads? Lab says that they're stitches that hold the upper tohe sole of the shoe. The paint was held in by the threads.

A man walks to Frost.

Wheeler: Stare at that board long enough, you'll see a sailboat.

Frost: Hey, wheeler.

Wheeler: Hey. So the lab says the paint from the kidnappers shoe is called skylar blue. It's a specialty paint, Uh, used for restoring old cars and trucks.

Korsak: How old?

Wheeler: We're talking, uh, elvis and hula hoops. Five dealers in the bay area carry it. Three of them don't have it in stock. The fourth one just got his first shipment in six months.

Korsak: You said five dealers.

Wheeler: No, the fifth one has it in stock. His name is, uh, John harris.

Korsak: Let's go.
