Once George has been gone for at least five hours, Maya breaks the framed picture of her daughter, if that's even her, and collects the glass pieces.

She takes the three biggest shards and hides two in her socks and one in her jean pocket.

She then dumps the rest into the trash can and sighs, knowing it may be a good amount of time before George returns.

Maya ends up falling asleep until the next morning, when she feel a sharp pain in her stomach.

She looks down and the glass from her pocket slipped out and sunk into her side. She pushes herself up, clutching her stomach with her hand as if it's going to stop the bleeding.

George enters with wide eyes, "Oh shit. What happened!?" He exclaims and she thinks quickly, "My appendix.... My mom had to have surgery too." Sh explains.

"I need a doctor." She demands, and as soon as he urges her outside, she grabs the glass from her sock and nails him in the eye.

He screams and falls to the ground as she makes a break for it and runs for her life.

She runs through the halls, her vision nearly failing her as she struggles to open the front door.

She runs for a few minutes before deciding to run into the road and stop the next person driving by.

It works. The next person nearby stops their van, surprised by Maya's appearance, "Help me." She begs and they pull out their phone, calling 911.

Farkle calls Zay and gives him the license plate number Elise had shared.

"Where'd Elise get this number from?" Zay asks and Farkle sighs, looking through the sliding glass door that separates him from the inside of the house.

"I don't know, but she sounded like she knew what she was talking about." Farkle informs.

Zay rolls his eyes, "You trust information from a five year-old?"

"You don't?" Farkle asks and Zay remains silent, "I'll look up the plate right now... I doubt it exists. I'll call you back later, alright?"

"Cool." Farkle replies and ends the call.

The dog barks at Farkle and Farkle grabs bruised orange at his feet and throws it, causing Reagan to chase it like a maniac.

Inside the house, Riley is cooking breakfast while Elise and Lucas play with Faith and Finely.

"Tag, you're it!" Elise exclaims as she pokes Faith's shoulder.

Faith lets out an overjoyed scream as she waddle/runs after her brother.

"You're it!" She yells after poking her brother.

Lucas who was also participating, draws back when he gets a phone call.

"Hullo, is thus Lucuss Friar?" Someone asks and Lucas answers, "This is him."

"My name is Ufficer Bruuks frum the New Yurk puhlice department, and I wanted tuh know if yu cuuld cume as soon as pussible..."

"Why? Did I do something wrong?" Lucas asks and the officer lets out a retched cough, "Nu. it's a really weird situatiun.... um... du you know Maya Hart?"

"TRAVIS! I FOUND GEORGE!!"

"What!?" Travis trips as he runs over towards Zay's computer.

"Technically, Elise did." Zay says, amazed by what could be a severe coincidence.

"What? My niece found her mother's captor?" Travis asks and Zay shrugs, "Apparently. Anyhow, get your boots on, we have a long drive ahead of us."

Zay then makes a call to surround the house with George's given address to arrest the suspect.

They hop in their car, confident that they're so close to solving this case.

Travis, the driver, doesn't hesitate to speed as they make their way to save his sister.
