Cole arrived at the airport and was able to get a flight that would be bound for Llanview, Pennsylvania, USA. He checked in only two bags for him and Hope as he had no time to gather a whole lot. He wanted out of that creepy castle as soon as possible and get back to Starr. God knows what she was going through. All Cole knew was that someone was impersonating him and Hope rom the video he saw Helena as she was talking to someone named Stefan. Cole never did find out why Helena was doing this and he didn't really care why. He just wanted to get to Starr as quickly as possible because he had a strange feeling that something was not right with Starr; he didn't know what, but he knew something wasn't right. 

Hope pulled on Cole's sleeve, indicating that she was hungry. Just in time, as the flight attendant was just coming to their seat asking what they wanted for their meal. Cole asked Hope what she wanted and she picked a chicken finger meal, and Cole picked a BLT with fries meal. The flight attendant brought their dinner promptly within ten minutes of ordering. 

Back in Llanview......... 

Starr managed to fend off an amorous Stefan/Cole saying that she had to visit her father at The Sun. She lied and told her it was an emergency and that her father needed her and Jack and Dani for a emergency family meeting.  

But Stefan/Cole didn't buy the story. He grabbed Starr Hope as she was about to leave and and whisked her in his car. They were heading for the airport to make a quick and hasty flight out of the US. Stefan/Cole couldn't afford to have the real Cole find Starr now. He would make Starr his, at no cost. Once inside the limo, Stefan/Cole called the airport to see if the Cassadine jet would be ready when they arrived. The air-traffic controller confirmed that it would be ready for take-off when he arrived. 

Cole and Hope arrived in Llanview and were getting the bags from baggage claim just as Stefan/Cole, Starr and Hope were arriving at the airport to board the Cassadine jet. Cole hollered out to Starr, but Stefan/Cole quickly held her by the arm and hurried her and Hope to the Cassadine jet. Cole dropped his and Hope's bags and picked up Hope and followed Starr and Stefan/Cole and and the little girl that was impersonating Hope to the jet they were about to board. Quick on his feet, Cole had already alerted airport security and they had beat Stefan to the jet before he could board with Starr and Hope. 

As airport security were taking Stefan in for questioning, Starr ran to Cole waiting arms. 

"Cole, I can't believe it's you." Starr exclaimed, crying in his arms. 

"I had to come when I figured out what Helena and this Stefan had planned." Cole said, hugging her. 

"I figured out it wasn't you a few weeks ago, but had to pretend I didn't know so he wouldn't suspect." Starr confessed. 

Stefan shouts back as airport security are escorting him out, "You won't win, Cole! I will have Starr! Just you wait! I'll be back! 

Starr and Cole hugged each other and the real Hope in their arms. They were so happy to finally be together, they ignored Stefan's warning. They just wanted to get their life back after Cole and Hope were confirmed dead for so long. Starr thought to herself, "It's so good to have my little girl and Cole back. Something deep inside me told me they were still alive, but for everyone else's sake, I had to pretend they were dead."

Stefan is sitting in the holding cell waiting to be transported to the jail when Helena walks in.  

"Stefan, you disappoint me so much!" Helena looks at him with a disgusted look. 

"This is your fault, grandmother! You promised you had that Cole under your thumb!" Stefan spat back at her. 

"If you had just trusted me, Stefan, you wouldn't be stuck in this cell. You would be on the jet with Starr. But you chose to do things your way." Helena reminded him. 

"Just get me out of her, grandmother." Stefan pleaded with her. 

"I don't see why I should?" 

"Because you owe me!" 

"I think I'll let you sit in here for a night or two. Let you cool your heels for awhile." 

"Please. . .grandmother. . ." 

But Stefan's cries fell on deaf ears as Helena walked out of the jail alone. Stefan was mad. He would seek his revenge when he got out. Grandmother, Cole, and Starr. . .they would be sorry for everything. . . . . .
