A clock ticks in the background. Megan walks in the lab, greets K/K/M who are asleep in their pods. She says even though their families think they're dead she doesn't want them sleeping their lives away. "Time to wake up. We have so much to do." She waves a syringe.
Kayla comes to and sits up in her pod. Marlena's awake, says she had a nightmare. Kayla- "I think we're living in one." Marlena says she dreamt Megan was holding them captive and she wasn't sure why. They agree they don't have time to find out and need to escape. Kayla gets up to check on Kate and finds her pod empty. They wonder if she found a way out/left them behind. Kayla- "Wouldn't be the first time she looked after number one." Marlena says if Kate escaped it was done with some planning, that security cameras must be everywhere. They try the door and find it locked, they assume by Megan. Kayla- "You know I'm really tired of her."
She and Marlena wonder if Kate's part of Megan's plan. Metal clanking is heard from behind a blue curtain. Marlena draws it back and finds a vertical/standing cryogenic cylinder. They realize it's powered down, the locks are released, and that it's older than their pods. "You heard Megan say she never throws anything away."
They discuss Megan telling John/Steve she was in a cryogenic state after her supposed death, how she wanted the prisms to cure someone she cared about. Kayla's guesses Stefano, then backtracks saying even if his body was preserved he's just a shell, that his spirit/soul.. Marlena- "If he ever had one"...was evil and destructive but taken from him, in the form of the microchip planted in Steve's head. Kayla talks about removing it, Chad/Tony burning it. They establish Stefano is dead and gone.
Marlena says they don't have to worry about the former cylinder resider so much as Megan having Kate, that they have to escape while they still can and find a way through the door. They agree they can't break it down. Kayla says they have to play it smart and tinkers around inside the cylinder. She finds a long metal coil, tells Mar on a date with Steve they talked lock picking and he taught her how to, that it's pretty simple with a wire. Marlena asks if a bobby pin would work. Kayla- "Nine times out of ten those break." She says you need something industrial from a heating or cooling unit, or this chamber. Marlena- "Let's hope Steve taught you well."
Kayla jimmies and successfully picks the lock. The door swings open, Marlena and her take a nervous step back.
