WA:       Tonight Elliot Carson must face the possible loss of his second 
          child.  The discovery that his baby son, Matthew, is missing 
          from his crib is overwhelming.  Both Elliot and his wife, 
          Constance, have shared a sense that Matthew is their second

          they failed his older sister, Allison.  Rachel Welles knew 
          this.  And Rachel Welles had to take advantage of it.
