[ scene_break ] barbara : well , i was just thinking about you , and here you are . henry : may i come in ? barbara : absolutely . you know , i could feel it . i could feel that you were as enchanted by bob and kim 's wedding as i was . there is something to be said for all that `` happily after ever `` stuff . henry : yeah , there is . it 's -- it 's really touching . although the `` happily ever after `` part 's always sort of eluded me . barbara : well , happiness is where you find it . henry : yeah . it 's also like a sneeze . it sort of comes up , and then all of the sudden , it 's gone . barbara : we 're happy together though , right ? henry : we 're usually in flagrante delicto when we 're together . barbara : and you know how much i love it when you say that . say it again . henry : barbara , stop . stop ! we ca n't -- we ca n't do this anymore . barbara : why not ? because of vienna ? henry : her coming back , it changes everything . barbara : no , it does n't change anything . she left you . she left the door open for us to find each other . henry : i know . even -- even good things have to come to an end . barbara : and why would this have to come to an end ? henry : katie 's on to us . barbara : [ laughs ] no , she 's not . she might be a little suspicious , but even if she is , so what ? henry : so what ? she and vienna are friends , and then she can tell vienna everything . barbara : well , then , let her tell vienna , because there 's nothing between the two of you anymore . henry : i -- i know that , barbara . barbara : in fact , i think that it 's time that we take our relationship public . [ scene_break ] janet : he regained consciousness , but he still seems pretty weak . is that normal ? reid : has he communicated with you ? janet : yeah . he was worried about me . can you believe it ? reid : that 's touching . you were able to understand him ? was he coherent ? janet : yes , yes , absolutely . rocco : doc , he does n't seem to remember anything about what happened . reid : victims of traumatic violence often do n't , at least not at first . rocco : you 're saying his memory might come back ? reid : it might . it might not . it 's anybody 's guess . i 'll check back later . rocco : compassionate guy . janet : i do n't care about his bedside manner . i just want him to help dusty get better . rocco : it looks like dusty 's on his way to a recovery . janet : thank god . rocco : it sure was a close call he had . janet : yeah . you do n't have to tell me . rocco : i ca n't imagine being attacked like that . probably be better for him if he never remembers what happened to him that night . [ scene_break ] luke : mr. judd , could i speak to you for a moment about dr. oliver ? judd : i got nothing to say to anybody except a judge . luke : well , then , maybe you can just hear me out . look , i know dr. oliver did everything he could to save your daughter . and i also know that he 's arrogant and obnoxious . what happened to your daughter was heartbreaking , and you must be so hurt and angry , and you 're looking for someone to blame . i get it . i get it . and you must want some sort of retribution for everything that your family 's been through . so maybe i can help . i have access to a lot of money . so would n't you rather avoid -- a trial that would just bring up your family 's pain and suffering all over again ? judd : do you think that money is going to bring back my little girl ? [ scene_break ] janet : hey ! you 're awake . how do you feel ? dusty : like i got shot in the head . how are you ? janet : oh , please , do n't worry about me , honey . i got pop here to keep me company . dusty : [ remembers ] i understand you 're still hooked up with ralph manzo . thought i would n't find out ?

[ scene_break ] luke : i would never presume that money would take the place of the daughter you lost . but this lawsuit of yours , it could keep dr. oliver from his work , from helping other people . judd : or from killing them . luke : dr. oliver is not a murderer . he 's a very good doctor . and i swear , he did everything he could to save your daughter 's life . reid : what 's going on ? judd : well , this is pathetic . you sent your boyfriend here to buy me off ? reid : what the hell are you talking about ? [ scene_break ] katie : vienna , i think really you just need to ask henry what 's going on . vienna : i have tried . i 've hinted . i have asked him outright what 's going on , and nothing . i do n't know what to do . katie : i just -- i ca n't believe the two of you ca n't find some way to figure this out together . vienna : he 's acting as if he loves me . but then when he says it , he has this funny tone in his voice , and when we go to bed , nothing . i mean , that only means one thing . katie : that he 's tired ? vienna : of me . he does n't love me anymore . katie : no , no , no , no . do n't say that . i do n't believe that for a second . vienna : what if he met someone else when i was gone ? i mean , i ca n't be the only woman who sees how handsome and desirable he is . katie : henry will always love you . vienna : yeah , i thought so , too , but -- katie : yes , he will always love you more than he could ever love anyone else . and the truth is you know what ? you just got back . he 's still healing . vienna : i should never have left him . katie : you were upset , and you were -- you were sad , and it 's okay . you do n't have to blame yourself for what 's happening here . vienna : you have to talk to him . you 're his best friend . katie : me ? vienna : yes , yes . you 're the only one he will be honest with . katie : oh , vienna , i do n't know . vienna : oh , come on . please , you have to talk to him . you have to find out what 's wrong . i have to know if -- if i can fix this or if there 's anything left here for me . katie : what do you mean ? if it 's over with henry , you 'll go back to sweden ? vienna : come on . you have to help me with this , katie , please . you have to find out what the truth is . katie : all right . vienna : you will do it for me ? katie : yeah . vienna : thank you , thank you . can you go right now ? katie : well , i mean , i just put jacob down . the sitter 's not here yet . vienna : yeah , but i 'll wait for the sitter , and i 'll take care of jacob . please ? [ scene_break ] henry : i -- i owe it to vienna to at least try to work things out . barbara : from what i understand , there 's not a lot to work out anymore . henry : this is something i have to do , barbara . barbara : have to or want to ? henry : we -- we have a history together , vienna and i . we shared a life . we shared a business . we -- we lost a child together . barbara : and she walked out on you . henry : yes , yes , because she was in love with me , and i broke her heart . barbara : are you still in love with her ? is that why you 're so determined to end things with us ? henry : yes -- no , no . i do n't know . [ henry stammers ] you 're not listening to what i 'm saying here . barbara : because you do n't know what you 're saying . you 're holding on to a memory of a romance that does n't even exist anymore , and you 're too afraid to admit it . unless there 's another reason . henry : what ? barbara : maybe this has nothing to do with vienna . henry : it has everything to do with vienna ! barbara : no , maybe it does n't . maybe you 're just too afraid to tell me . henry : to tell you what ? barbara : that you 're embarrassed to be with me . henry : barbara , no , that 's not true . barbara : then prove it to me . i 'm tired of being your secret lover . i do n't care if katie has suspicions . if she 's going to start making insinuations , so let her , okay ? let 's just beat her to the punch . henry : no , i -- i ca n't do that . i ca n't do that . barbara : why not ? i mean , the way i see it , you have two choices . you can continue to lie to yourself and tell yourself that you have to take this second chance with vienna , or you can just admit that everything you want is right here in front of you . [ knock on door ] henry : barbara , do n't . barbara , do n't . please do n't answer the door , okay ? you do n't know -- katie : i was afraid i 'd find you here . barbara : your timing could n't be more perfect . katie : why do you say that ? barbara : because henry has something he wants to say to you . do n't you , henry ? come on , henry . here 's your chance to prove me wrong . katie : whatever you have to say to me , henry , you do n't have to say right now , 'cause i need to talk to you first , in private . it 's important . henry : yeah , of course . barbara : henry -- henry : no , uh , you heard what katie said . she has to talk to me . um , it 's important . and -- and in private , so -- barbara : well , there 's my answer . henry : no , it 's not . no , i 'm just saying we should have this conversation at another time . barbara : there wo n't be another time . henry : barbara -- barbara : i think you should go . henry : i will be coming back . barbara : do n't bother . henry : look , just give me some time to sort this out . barbara : you had your time and your chance ! katie : henry , let 's go . henry : i just -- she is , uh -- she is really upset with me . katie : she 's not the only one . what the hell are you doing ? henry : nothing . i 'm not doing anything . i -- i just do n't like when people are mad at me . katie : you do n't think i know what 's going on here ? henry : nothing 's going on . katie : stop ! i did n't buy your lame excuses when i saw you two together at bob and kim 's wedding , and i 'm not buying them now . listen to me . whatever barbara has lured you into , you need to walk away . she 's ruining your life . [ scene_break ] luke : you know , i -- i think there might be a little misunderstanding here . actually a really big one . reid : well , i 'm very curious to know what it is . judd : i 'll see you in court , dr. oliver . [ pager beeps ] reid : hold on . i got to get back to the hospital . you 'll have to fill me in later . luke : look , i am not dr. oliver 's boyfriend , and he did n't send me here to talk to you , and i 'm not trying to buy you off either . but what i am trying to do is save his career . he may be arrogant , but he 's not incompetent . in fact , he 's one of the best doctors i 've ever seen . and if you go through with this lawsuit , you 're not only going to destroy his career , but also the lives of a lot of people that he has to help . and that 's not going to bring your daughter back either . [ scene_break ] jack : i 'm not accusing you of anything here , mr. ciccone . i 'm just asking you a few questions about what happened to dusty . rocco : yeah ? well , my experience with cops is always a little suspicion behind everything they say . jack : you got a lot -- you got a lot of experience with cops , do you ? rocco : where i grew up , it was hard not to . but we were talking about dusty , not about me . jack : from what we saw on the surveillance video , the assailant had quite a conversation with dusty before they got into that fight . rocco : what 's your cop nose tell you that means ? jack : like maybe he was trying to relay a message from someone else . rocco : yeah ? that 's a coward 's way to work if you ask me . if i 've got something to say , i say it to a man 's face . jack : i 'm sure you do . but you do know people who work like that , right ? rocco : everybody knows somebody who 's a coward . jack : someone like ralph manzo ? rocco : what the hell has he got to do with anything ? jack : that 's a really good question . reid : mr. donovan 's awake again ? jack : uh , five minutes ago he was , yeah . reid : mr. donovan , i 'm dr. oliver . you do n't know me . i 'm the guy who saved your life . you 're welcome . how are you feeling ? better ? dusty : i 'm awake . reid : and alive , so i 'll take that as a yes . how 's the old memory ? starting to remember things ? dusty : bits and pieces . reid : you have n't been able to tell detective snyder that much ? dusty : what 's the point ? ca n't remember what 's real and what 's not . reid : the point is you 're in a lot better shape mentally than you 're letting on . dusty : what are you talking about ? reid : come on . that might work with them . not with me . i know that you 're exaggerating your memory loss . what i want to know is why . dusty : 'cause janet 's life depends on it . [ scene_break ] jack : it 's interesting if you think about it . rocco : what is ? jack : how both you and ralph would benefit if dusty were out of the picture . rocco : excuse me ? that 's one hell of an accusation . you 're talking about the man my daughter loves ! jack : i know that , but it 's not an accusation . more of a speculation . rocco : you can keep your speculations to yourself . jack : you and manzo are friends , right ? more like family if the stories i hear are true . rocco : where are you going with this ? jack : just that if dusty dies , ralph gets payback for being send to prison and you get a guy you do n't like out of your daughter 's life . rocco : i 'm no killer . jack : ralph is . rocco : you got a lot of nerve , detective . i know what 's going on here . you 're trying to force a case because you do n't like me because of the way i treated my daughter . go ahead and try ! i 've got nothing to hide ! my conscience is clear ! jack : why are you getting so riled up ? janet : hey . what 's going on here ? jack : well , your dad and i were just talking about dusty 's situation , running through possible scenarios . is n't that right , mr. ciccone ? rocco : yeah , right . just two guys talking . janet : yeah , it did n't sound like just two guys talking to me . [ cell phone rings ] jack : i got to take this . excuse me . snyder . janet : okay , pop , what 's really going on ? rocco : your ex has some hell of an imagination . that 's all . janet : why ? what did he say ? rocco : i 'm not sure if i should say anything . janet : why not ? rocco : 'cause i do n't want to upset you . janet : i wo n't get upset . come on . just tell me what 's going on . rocco : he 's trying to link ralph to dusty 's shooting . you hear what i said ? janet : yeah . i heard you . rocco : and ? janet : ralph is the reason jack 's brother is dead , okay ? so i can see where in jack 's mind that would n't be too farfetched . rocco : he 's wrong , janet . janet : pop , i know you and ralph were close . but he 's done some terrible things to us . he held teresa hostage , right ? so dusty helped put him in jail . i can see where ralph might want to get some payback . rocco : maybe , but i 've got nothing to do with it . janet : who says you do ? is jack accusing you ? rocco : he has n't come out and said it , but i can tell he 's considering it . same old thing , guilt by association . janet : no , no , no , no , no . i know jack better than that . he would never assume something like that . rocco : well , maybe you do n't know him as good as you think you do . look , i can understand him not liking me on account of all that happened between me and you . but i 'm trying really hard to make up for that . janet : i know you are . and it means a lot to me . and jack knows that , too . rocco : do n't be too sure . he 's looking to throw blame around . he does n't like me . he does n't like ralph . bam ! case closed in his mind . janet : hey , hey , pop , give him a little credit , okay ? he 's a good cop . rocco : even good cops make mistakes . janet : okay . i 'll get him to ease up on you . rocco : thank you . janet : besides , once dusty gets his memory back , we 'll be able to know for sure who really did this . rocco : yeah . yes , we will . [ scene_break ] dusty : the best way to keep janet safe was to pretend i ca n't remember what happened . reid : i do n't care how much or how little you tell people about anything . i do n't want to be dragged into your cover - up . i 'm here to make sure that you get better , not help you lie about what happened . dusty : i 'm not asking you to lie . i 'm asking you to keep quiet . [ scene_break ] katie : come on , henry . really , barbara ? henry : what 's wrong with barbara ? katie : nothing -- except you have beautiful , loving vienna at home waiting for you -- in tears , i might add . henry : really ? katie : yes . she 's devastated . she thinks you 've lost all interest in her . henry : well , i have n't . i do n't think so . katie : you got to get a grip , seriously . henry : i know , i know , i know . katie : you really think you would be better off with barbara than with vienna ? henry : no , not in any rational kind of way . katie : well , rational is the only kind of way you should be thinking right now . henry : i know that . but desire is an ornery , unpredictable creature . katie : is vienna right ? have you fallen out of love with her ? henry : i do n't know . i wish i could tell you that my feelings were as strong as they were before , but things have changed , and i do n't know if i can go on pretending that they have n't . katie : so that 's it . everything you 've gone through , everything you 've meant to each other is just gone ? henry : maybe -- maybe i do n't forgive her for leaving me . katie : oh , do n't you dare use that excuse . she had every right to leave you . henry : i know , i know . i know you 're right . i broke her heart . god . katie : henry , vienna is the love of your life . why she 's even with you is one of nature 's great mysteries . but she is -- or was . henry : i 'm not that bad of a catch . katie : no , you 're not , but she 's the perfect catch , and you caught her . henry : i know , i know , i know . katie : and what you guys have was so amazing , so magical . henry : it was earth - shaking . katie : and you 're just going to throw it away for a couple quickies with barbara ryan ? henry : whoa , whoa , whoa . do n't make it sound so tawdry . katie : it is tawdry . henry : maybe to you it is , but not to me . katie : you 're saying what you and barbara have is special ? henry : i do n't know what it is . that 's what i 'm trying to figure out , all right ? katie : okay , here 's what you need to hear . vienna hates herself for leaving . henry : she does ? katie : yes ! why do you think she came back ? she knows she made a mistake , and she ca n't live without you . but now she 's worried that you 've learned to live without her . henry : she does n't know about barbara and me , does she ? you have n't told her ? katie : no , no , no , no ! of course not . but i figured it out . it 's only a matter of time before she does , too . and barbara does not seem to want to keep it on the down low anymore . henry : yeah , i know , i know . katie : so do the right thing . leave barbara . go where you belong -- with vienna . [ scene_break ] janet : let me handle this , okay ? rocco : hey , he 's all yours -- for now . janet : jack , what 's going on ? jack : that was the station . just work . janet : no , no , no , no . i mean with my father . he thinks that you 're trying to accuse him of having something to do with dusty 's shooting . jack : i was asking him questions about ralph manzo . janet : do you really think manzo had something to do with this ? jack : i think it 's a definite possibility , yeah . janet : okay , then you ca n't possibly think that my father had a part in this . jack : i 'm not implying that he was -- he was the one to pull the trigger , no . but he was very defensive just at the conversation . janet : well , can you blame him ? he thought you were accusing him . jack : janet , what -- do n't you think it 's a little odd that the guy shows up after 18 years of not even wanting to talk to you ? janet : he 's here because liberty is sick . jack : so why is he sticking around ? janet : because , jack , it 's never too late to make up for the things that you 've done wrong . jack : well , i certainly hope that is the case here . janet : it is the case , so please stop trying to chase him away . jack : i 'm not . janet : look , ralph had us all fooled , okay ? we had no idea what he was capable of . and my father is nothing like him . and the fact that he is here to make amends to me and liberty proves that . jack : okay , what would you have me do ? janet : [ sighs ] i would have you lighten up on him , okay ? please , just give him a break . jack : okay . janet : he 's here to say he is sorry . and since he 's been here , he 's meant a lot to me . he has done a lot for me . jack : all i have , janet , are my instincts . and they 're telling me that something 's off . janet : your instincts are wrong . so stop treating my father like he is a criminal . [ scene_break ] reid : mr. donovan , in case you have n't noticed , `` empathy `` is not a word that 's usually associated with me , and i do n't get involved in my patients ' personal problems . dusty : stay out of it . that 's all i 'm asking . reid : yeah , it sounds like you 're asking for a little more . dusty : no . just time to get my facts straight . reid : how much do you remember ? jack : so now you have something to say ? reid : i 'm going to go finish my rounds . jack : you know more than you 're letting on , do n't you ? so what facts do you need to get straight ? dusty : i ca n't remember anything . jack : your memory 's still shaky ? dusty : about the shooting ? yeah . jack : so , what does dr. oliver say ? dusty : that my memory will come back or it wo n't . jack : okay . dusty : you do n't believe me ? jack : not for a second . [ scene_break ] reid : well , his recovery is not as far along as i 'd like . janet : what does that mean exactly ? reid : he 's no longer in any danger physically , but , uh , mentally he 's a little cloudy . he -- he may have trouble communicating . rocco : what about his memory of the shooting ? reid : he does n't seem to be able to remember much about the actual incident . rocco : will it stay that way ? reid : his memory could take days , weeks , even months to come back , if then . janet : well , is there anything we can do to help ? reid : just give him room . do n't expect too much . do n't push him . excuse me . rocco : you okay ? janet : no . i mean , i -- i thank god that dusty 's okay , and i want to find out who did this to him . but at the same time , i do n't , because knowing might put him in more danger . rocco : maybe we should listen to his doctor and let him get some more rest . i was thinking of dropping by and spending some time with liberty . you want a ride home ? janet : no , pop . i want to stay with dusty , okay ? rocco : okay . janet : oh , hey , listen . do n't be mad at jack for what he was saying before . he -- he 's just doing his job . rocco : yeah , well , let him do it on someone who 's guilty . janet : hey , pop , i 'm really glad to have you here . rocco : me too . janet : i do n't think i could get through this without you . rocco : we have a lot of lost time to make up for , do n't we ? janet : we sure do . [ scene_break ] henry : uh , what if i can never be the man that vienna expects me to be ? i 've let her down before . who 's to say i 'm not going to let her down again ? katie : vienna loves you for who you are , not who she wants you to be . henry : i do n't think that 's true ! the only reason that she came back is because i 'm donating my money to build that hospital wing . katie : yeah , and you did . henry : yeah , yeah , because you pushed me into it . katie : so what if i pushed you ? you still did it . and if vienna ever pushes you , it 's because she wants you to be the best man you can be . henry : yeah , sometimes i think she wants more of me than is possible , and that 's why i keep letting her down . do you have any idea how hard it is to live a life like that ? katie : true love is n't supposed to be easy . henry : who cares about easy ? i 'll take manageable . i mean , believe me , it is a lot easier being with barbara . katie : how is it easier ? henry : there are no expectations . i can be who i am , and she can be who she is . katie : oh , yeah . that 's fine if you want to be with a lying , deceitful , manipulative , shallow -- henry : i -- i do n't see her that way , all right ? katie : well , maybe you should start . you know what ? i 've said all i need to say . now it 's up to you .

[ scene_break ] carly : well , you think you 're very clever , do n't you , using parker 's misery to your advantage ? craig : that 's not what i 'm trying to do . carly : oh , come on . you want to show me how much you 've changed , because you think it 's your ticket to getting more involved in our lives . is n't that where this is headed ? craig : i just want what 's best for parker . that 's all . carly : with a little bonus for yourself on the side . craig : i just do n't like to see you or your son hurting . carly : let 's just not make this about us , okay ? can we concentrate on parker ? craig : of course . carly : thank you . and thank you for whatever advice you gave him . let 's hope he 'll use it in his next serious relationship , when he 's 26 instead of 16 . craig : well , at least it 's easier to get over a broken heart at this age . carly : i do n't know . it 's never really easy though , is it ? if -- if parker and liberty split up , i 'm sure it 's for the best , but i hate that she just ran out on him like that and left him . [ doorbell rings ] liberty : hi . hey , um , i 'm sorry to bother you , but i really need to see parker . carly : oh . well , he -- he 's in his room . you can go on up . liberty : oh . thanks . carly : that ca n't be good . craig : be careful what you wish for . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] parker : liberty ! you came back ! liberty : hey . hey , parker . [ liberty laughs ] liberty : um , i -- i really wanted to talk to you about something . parker : yeah , me too . look , liberty , i am really sorry . i acted like a complete jerk , and you have every right in the world to be mad at me . liberty : no , it 's okay . i 'm not mad . parker , i -- i 've -- i 've just been thinking a lot about my future , and -- parker : yeah , and i 'm sorry i acted so weird when you brought up college . from now on , whatever you want to do is fine with me . liberty : really ? parker : yeah . i -- i do n't know why , but i felt like you were looking for excuses to do stuff by yourself . liberty : no , it -- it was n't about you . it was -- parker : right , right . i know that . i know that now , and i know that i need to let you do your thing while we 're married . liberty : yeah . the same goes for you , too . parker : as long as we 're together , we can do whatever we want . liberty : i guess . yeah . parker : liberty , i love you . i want you to be happy . just please stay with me . liberty : i will . [ scene_break ] henry : i still do n't think this is a good idea . katie : why not , henry ? henry : because making a film -- it 's very difficult . we have to think about vienna . vienna : i 'm fine ! i want to do this ! and think about the publicity you can get for your book . katie : ooh , yes . absolutely . we can totally talk about `` the man from oakdale , `` if that 's okay with you . kim : of course . i thought it was a terrific book . i could n't put it down . i mean it , henry . it kept me up all night long . henry : thanks . you really liked it ? kim : oh , henry , you -- you have a wonderful way with words . which is a reason that you would be such a great addition to our documentary . henry : well , no , that 's -- that 's very nice of you to say . but -- look , the book is one thing , but what 's happening with vienna and i -- and brad and katie , of course -- it 's -- it 's very personal . i do n't know if i want to share that with the world . vienna : yeah , but we have no secrets , henry ! henry : i do n't know about that . brad : i had something to do with making this baby , too , remember ? henry : yeah . i do n't know about that , either . katie : what are you saying , henry ? henry : i am saying that i do n't think vienna understands what an invasion of privacy this is gon na be , and that kind of pressure is bad for the baby . vienna : no , i do n't think there 's anything to be worried about . and i -- i 'm perfectly happy doing this documentary . and if i 'm happy , the baby 's happy , too . katie : good . then it 's settled . brad : one more thing , all right ? does our original deal still , you know , hold ? i mean , if i do this documentary , will you give me my old job back on `` oakdale now `` ? kim : that was the deal , and i will stick to it . katie : fantastic . so it 's win - win for everyone . henry : almost everyone . kim : all right . you know what i 'm gon na do ? i 'll go back to the studio . i 'll get everything set up . when you are all ready , come meet me there , and we 'll shoot our first segment . how about it ? katie : perfect . kim : okay . katie : we 'll see you there . kim : see you soon . katie : i want to freshen up , and you should change your shirt . brad : oh , after you . henry : i still do n't think this is a good idea ! vienna : why not ? henry : why ? for a million reasons . it 's a lie , first of all . that 's not brad 's baby inside of you . it 's mine . vienna : no , it 's not ! i 'm still carrying this baby for brad and katie , and it 's theirs in every way that counts ! henry : you say that now . later on -- vienna : you specifically said you do n't want a baby . have you changed your mind , henry ? henry : no ! but -- vienna : but what ? but what ? is there something i should know about ? henry : no , no , not -- i just do n't like this . brad : are you guys ready ? henry : uh , vienna is . i -- i 'm not going . katie : are you serious ? vienna : yes , he is . he 's serious . but we can do this without him , okay ? come on , guys .

[ kim laughs ] katie : we 're still picking out names . brad : i think bradlina 's very -- katie : bradley , no , no . brad : it 's very feminine . katie : i do n't think so . i just want to say though that this is all because of vienna . we would n't be able to take this journey without her . kim : and vienna , have you given a lot of thought to the day that you 're gon na have to give that baby away ? even thought how you 're gon na feel about that ? vienna : you know , i am -- i 'm totally at peace with this , because this is not my child . this is katie and brad 's baby . kim : excuse me . i should explain that vienna 's partner is henry coleman . he is the author of the new book `` the man from oakdale . `` so , vienna , how does henry feel about this ? vienna : oh , he 's fine with it . he 's on board 100 % . henry : oh ! katie : oh ! [ henry chuckles ] [ scene_break ] craig : well , thank you , randy . i really appreciate it . okay , we 'll talk soon . carly : well , that sounded positive . liberty : what did they say ? craig : they 're hiring summer interns right now . and with my recommendation , you have a very good shot at getting it . liberty : thank you so much ! this is so exciting ! parker : yeah , but , you know , you would have to go to new york for this . liberty : well , i do n't know ! i mean , i have to talk to my mom . she might be not too wild about it . craig : i tell you what . let me try and pitch it to your mom to help her understand that this could be a great opportunity for you . liberty : you do n't mind ? craig : not at all . liberty : thank you so much , craig . this really is like one of the most exciting days of my life . craig : okay , well -- carly : yes . craig , good luck . craig : what 'd i say ? i do n't want to fight . liberty : you know , i wonder what my mom is gon na say about this . carly : oh , i 'm sure she 'll love the idea . like craig said , it 's an amazing opportunity . liberty : i know . parker : but new york is really far away . are you sure you do n't want to get an intern job that 's a little bit closer to here ? carly : oh , parker , no . if liberty wants to be in the fashion business , she 's got to go to new york . [ liberty laughs ] carly : or paris or milan maybe even . parker : thanks , mom . you 're such a great help .

[ scene_break ] parker : liberty , new york is just so far away . liberty : okay , what about what you said before about we should respect each other 's choices ? parker : so you 've already made up your mind . that 's what you 're saying . liberty : parker , it 's what i 've always dreamed about . how could i pass that up ? carly : do n't ruin this chance for her , parker . you 'll both be miserable . parker : all right , well , you really want to go all the way to new york ? liberty : i really , really do . parker : well , not that you need my permission , but if this is something that you really want to do , then go for it . liberty : thank you , parker . parker : and since i am your husband , i 'm gon na go with you . carly : you 're what ? parker : well , it 's only for the summer . we can get a cheap apartment , and i can get a job , or maybe craig could get me an internship at a sports magazine . carly : wait a minute . [ laughs ] carly : wait a minute . firstly , we do n't even know if that 's possible . and secondly , you 're not being realistic . even the cheapest apartment in new york city is gon na be much more than you can afford . parker : well , i can get some money from my trust fund . it was craig 's idea for this whole new york thing . it 's the least he can do . carly : that 's not how it works . parker : i 've made up my mind . if liberty 's going , then so am i . liberty : that 's fine by me .

[ laughs ] kim : okay . you can roll it when you want . uh , you may have noticed we have added a friend to our conversation , mr. henry coleman . henry , thank you . we 're delighted you joined us . thanks for coming . as i mentioned earlier , henry is the author of the new book `` the man from oakdale . `` and any of you who 've read his book , you know that vienna is the love of henry 's life . and so henry , how do you feel about having your partner be a surrogate mother for your best friends ? henry : it 's complicated . [ kim laughs ] kim : i bet it is . i mean , even though artificial insemination was used , your partner and your best friend made a baby together . henry : yeah . no , no , no , no , no . kim : cut , cut , cut ! henry : i , uh -- i ca n't do this . i , uh -- kim : henry , what 's the matter ? henry : sorry . it 's -- it 's -- i have stage fright , guys . horrible stage fright . i 'm sorry . just -- just -- just go on without me . katie : strange . brad : okay , i think i know what that 's about . let me , um -- see what i can do . okay , we need to have a man - to - man talk . henry : i am not in the mood . brad : i think i know exactly what 's bothering you . henry : really ? brad : you 're a guy . i 'm a guy . katie 's my wife . vienna 's your woman . henry : brad , let 's stop with the birds and the bees . just get to the point , okay ? brad : i got her pregnant . i got vienna pregnant . well , at least , you know -- i mean , my -- my sperm did . henry : yeah . that 's what you think . brad : and i know it may seem all very clinical , with the latex gloves and the turkey baster thingies , but still , you know , on some level , it 's got to feel maybe like vienna 's cheating on you . henry : `` cheating `` ? is that what you think ? brad : yes , and i think it 's perfectly natural to feel weird about vienna carrying some other guy 's baby , especially when in nine months or so , that baby 's gon na come out of her body looking like the spitting image of me . henry : brad , trust me . that is not the problem . brad : then what is ? well , obviously , something 's bothering you that you have n't shared with us . i mean , we 're all in this together . so why do n't you just -- come on , henry . put your cards on the table . vienna : excuse me , brad . can i have a moment alone with henry ? brad : yeah , yeah . okay , okay . i mean , if you want -- if there 's anything at any time you need to get off your chest , i really -- i 'm here for you . vienna : were you about to tell brad something right now ? henry : no , but i should have , because that 's not brad 's in there . that is mine . and i 'm -- supposed to disappear , just pretend i do n't exist ? vienna : but what does it matter ? you do n't want it ! henry : that 's not the point ! vienna : then what is ? ! please , tell me . henry : there 's nothing to tell . vienna : are you sure ? are you sure ? henry : yes , yes , i 'm sure ! vienna : okay , okay . well , then , why do n't you come back out and be your charming , funny , adorable self ? okay ? okay . this time is for real . henry is ready for his close - up . carly : well ? liberty : what did my mom say ? craig : it 's a go . liberty : oh , my god ! craig : janet agreed to let liberty intern in new york . liberty : i really -- i ca n't believe this . thank you . thank you so much . craig : it 's my pleasure . well , that 's good news for liberty , but what about you , parker ? uh , sure you 're okay with this ? parker : yeah , sure , it 's cool , 'cause i 'm going with her . craig : uh , when -- when did you decide that ? carly : oh , about the time he decided that since it was the trustee of his trust fund 's idea to -- to start this whole new york thing that said trustee should cough up some money for a summer rental . craig : an apartment ? parker : right . all you have to do is release the money . craig : well , we 'll deal with that later .

[ scene_break ] kim : would you elaborate on how you feel you 've prepared yourself emotionally for the day you have to give the baby away ? vienna : well , henry and i -- we 've decided not to have children . but it 's always been a dream of mine to experience what it would be like to feel a new life growing inside of me and giving birth . and -- and now i can do that and share it with katie . and -- and it just seemed like the perfect compromise . katie : you 're making me cry . vienna : i 'm sorry . but , you know , the best part is that i know that this baby is going to have the most wonderful parents . and also knowing that katie and brad will let us be part of this baby 's life , it 's -- it 's not going to be the same as -- as being a mother , but it will certainly make me very , very happy . kim : and henry , i assume you feel the same way ? henry : oh , yes . i 'm -- i 'm happy , too -- deliriously . kim : well , you know , this is an amazing story , and i just know that we 're all gon na look forward to checking in on you during your adventure , and we want you to come back often . katie : absolutely . brad : we 'll be here . vienna : yeah , with -- with bells . henry : can i go now ? [ scene_break ] janet : gee , craig sure made my day . jack : mm . you know how i feel about him , janet . i do n't trust him or his motives . but he does seem to be the only guy to get through to our kids lately . janet : why is it when he interferes in your son 's life , you want to throw him in the slammer ? but when he interferes with my daughter 's life and wants to ship her off to new york city , he 's the patron saint of teenagers . do you see a double standard here , jack ? [ scene_break ] liberty : i thought you were cool with this , parker . why ca n't we go to new york for the interview ? what 's your problem with that ? parker : i do n't have a problem with going to new york . it 's just that we ca n't do it tomorrow . liberty : why not ? ! parker : because i have baseball tryouts . it 's my chance to make varsity . liberty : oh . do you think that we can go the next day ? craig : oh , i -- i do n't think so . it 's a group interview , and they 're choosing all the interns tomorrow . liberty : oh , god . so we ca n't reschedule ? craig : no , i 'm afraid not . but you 'll only be away overnight . by the way , carly and i have to go up to new york for a sales meeting . liberty : wow . carly : yes , we do . that 's right . i forgot about that meeting . parker : well , then , if we have to go to new york , then i just wo n't play baseball this year . carly : oh , that 's crazy ! parker , you 're not gon na give up the whole baseball season . craig : yeah . parker , you go to the tryouts and do your thing . liberty will go to new york , have her interview , and do her thing . that 's marriage . give and take . parker : i guess . craig : you 'll make the baseball team , liberty will get her summer internship , and everybody 's happy . liberty : its one night . parker -- parker : whatever . liberty : ooh ! carly : that 's great . you know , i 'm sure that sage can stay over at the liebels ' . all you have to do is check up on her , okay ? parker : sure . liberty : okay . will you help me pack ? parker : yeah . okay . liberty : come on . let 's go . craig : well , everything 's going according to plan . we just have to be patient . [ scene_break ] brad : that was pretty wild . katie : i think the interview went well , but what was up with henry ? brad : i think it 's obvious . katie : not to me . brad : that 's because you 're not a guy . you know , henry 's macho pride was hurt because vienna 's carrying another man 's baby . you know , he says he 's cool with it , but there 's this -- you know , there 's this feeling , deep down . katie : what feeling ? brad : that he could n't cut the mustard . look , i 'm not saying it makes sense . i 'm just saying that sometimes , it does n't take much for a guy to feel inadequate . katie : no . that does n't sound like henry . brad : why not ? katie : i was married to him , remember ? he was never inadequate -- in that department . brad : too much information . katie : i 'm sorry . sorry . well , listen , if you 're right , we know that vienna wo n't let him feel inadequate for long . so by the time the baby comes , he 'll be back to his old self and probably the most doting godfather the world has ever seen . brad : you 're right . you 're right . everything 's gon na be perfect . katie : mm - hmm .

[ scene_break ] mike : with the designated greenways and enhanced water - well systems , the snyder development will have virtually zero impact on the environment . and it 's my hope that this development will set a standard for all future developments in oakdale . commissioner : excellent proposal , mr. kasnoff . you almost make me want to go out and purchase one of these homes myself . mike : almost ? i must not have been as thorough as i thought . commissioner : well , i think i speak for my colleagues when i say that , although the zoning board still needs to formally vote on your proposal , you can be assured of our enthusiastic support . i fully expect it to pass . paul : thank you , commissioner . thank you all very much . mike : yes , thank you very much , sir . meg : fantastic job . paul : meg , he was just doing his job . you know , you left me hanging in there . i looked like an idiot . that was so not cool . mike : i said i was sorry for being late . paul : well , do n't let it happen again . mike : this is not my first time in front of an advisory board . if they do n't have everything they need in front of them , they 'll use a misplaced comma as an excuse to kill the whole project . i was just trying to be prepared . paul : yeah , well , next time maybe you can be prepared and be on time . mike : there wo n't be a next time . meg : what ? why ? wait a minute . is it something paul said ? because you should n't take him seriously . sarcasm is just his way of saying good job . paul : that 's true . i mean , you should see the way i look when i 'm telling somebody they did a great job . mike : no , it 's not paul . it 's me . i 'm not going to be supervising the project anymore . i 'm leaving town . today . meg : mike , do n't -- i mean , you ca n't leave oakdale . we 're all counting on you to make this project come out the way we all envisioned it . paul : yeah , mike , we are counting on you . you ca n't just leave us in the lurch like this . i thought you were a professional ? mike : i am professional . that 's why i already lined up my replacement . he 's a great guy . he 's totally efficient . he 's going to take my plans and execute them . you 'll still have all my designs . i just wo n't be there supervising the project . meg : okay , i do n't understand . you just came home a few days ago . what 's the hurry to leave ? mike : oakdale 's just not home . not anymore . meg : i get it . this is about katie . [ scene_break ] makeup artist : there you are . katie : sorry i 'm late . makeup artist : you had a visitor . katie : i did ? who ? makeup artist : he did n't leave his name . said he was an old friend , wanted to catch up . katie : an old friend . [ scene_break ] lily : i tried to pump katie for details while she was here . i do n't know if she 's playing it cool , or she does n't know that mike is in town . what if she sees mike ? all right , sees him , realizes that brad snyder is not the man she wants to be with . carly : well , she 'll dump brad for another go - round with mike . as long as it 's not jack , what do i care who her next victim is ? lily : all right , it 's going to rain on your parade just for a second here . carly : think you must ? lily : yeah , okay , katie -- katie , nothing is set in stone with that girl is concerned . you know mike , right ? mike -- you think she 's over mike kasnoff ? carly : well , he was the one to leave her , right ? so , no , i suppose that she still has unresolved feelings . lily : right . that 's why she bounces from man to man . unable to make up her mind . carly : when it comes to jack , if i have to , i will make katie 's mind up for her . i will not let her anywhere near my husband ever again . lily : carly , he 's not your husband right now . carly : he will be . [ scene_break ] jack : listen , i just ended everything with katie recently . i hurt her . i know that . i 'm hurt , too . margo : well , you 're going to have to suck it up . jack : oh , come on . we 're still raw , margo . what 's the point of pouring salt on the wound ? margo : did it ever occur to you that by showing up at katie and brad 's party , that it would give both of you a chance to acknowledge that the relationship is over and it 's time to move on ? jack : did it ever occur to you that my showing up would send a mixed message to katie ? despite everything i 've said , here i am , i 'm still interested in you ? margo : there 's a way around that . you can send katie the right message if you bring carly as your date . [ scene_break ] carly : i 'm not going to let katie get her hands on jack ever again . lily : okay , let 's -- maybe we should n't panic . because katie 's going to be -- trying to marry brad and her ex - husband is back in town . the girl is going to have her hands full . carly : you know , i sort of wish that mike had n't come back . lily : why ? carly : complicates the equation , you know ? i wish he 'd leave . lily : except that would n't help you either , would it ? [ scene_break ] mike : look , the bottom line is , any hope that i may have had for me and katie is no longer environmentally viable . i 'm not going to stick around and watch her and her fiancé plan their wedding . i should move on . paul : well , i get it . and i wish you the best of luck , mike . mike : no hard feelings ? paul : no , under the circumstances ? not at all . not at all . meg : look , there 's nothing we can do to change your mind ? mike : afraid not . i 'm going to go back to worldwide and pack up my stuff . meg : you mean you 're leaving right away ? mike : yeah , tonight , if i can . i 'm sorry i 'm not going to have a chance to say good - bye to emma . give her my best . meg : yeah , take care of yourself , mike . i ca n't believe you let that happen ! you saw how mike handled the zoning board in there . we could never have gotten approval without him . paul : so your faith in me just stops as soon as we get to the door to the zoning meeting ? meg : no , we need mike . not just to get the specs in order , but to make sure that this project lives up to everybody 's expectations . we ca n't do this without him . paul : mike is really good at what he does , i 'll give him that . he 's one in a million even . but even if that 's true , then so there are 60,000 other people in the world just as good as him . if the math i just did is right -- but , look the point is , he found one of those people for us already . meg : yeah , good enough for mike , i 'm sure . and good enough for you -- maybe even good enough for holden . but do you really think this guy would be good enough for my mother ? paul : well , no one ever is , so i 'm going to say no . meg : well , then , i have to tell you right now that if this guy is n't mike , he 's not good for me , either . paul : i had no idea he meant so much to you . meg : mike is a friend of the family . he cares about the snyders . you could see how much he respects us by the way he puts so much work into this whole project . he cares about preserving the land as much as we do . it 's not just another job for him . we ca n't lose him . paul : all right . so , what do you want me to do ? because as much as you want him to stay , it sounds like that 's how much he wants to leave . i think he 's made up his mind . meg : well , so unmake it for him . paul : okay . meg : okay . just make sure mike stays in oakdale . [ scene_break ] lily : all right , whether mike is here in oakdale -- it does n't matter . because it has nothing to do with you or jack . katie has nothing to do with you and jack . i hate to say this to you , but the only thing standing in the way of you and jack -- carly : is me and jack , as usual . lily : yes . how are you getting along ? is it okay ? he 's living in your house . how is that ? carly : he -- its okay . he wants to be friends . can you beat that ? after everything we 've been through , friends . lily : friends are nice . everybody needs friends . carly : we have a long way to go . and that 's why katie needs to marry brad , so she 's out of the way for good . lily : you can not force this . all you have to do is love jack and hope he finds his way back to loving you . [ scene_break ] margo : but right now , i 've got to look out after my sister . i 'm thinking about katie . and i 'm thinking about brad , too . they need you and carly to make this gesture -- to prove that -- that the relationship is over . that what 's happened in the past , is in the past , and you 've moved on . jack : you make a good point . margo : well , thank you . i 'm considering taking up law enforcement as a career . jack : so , i have to apologize to brad again and try to make things right . margo : and you can do that by accepting his invitation . jack , come on , everyone always says what a good guy you are . ca n't you be the good guy for my little sister ? a good guy would want what 's best for her . you owe her that . jack : i see tom 's been giving you pointers on making killer closing arguments . margo : oh , my goodness , who do you think taught him everything he knows ? [ scene_break ] katie : so this old friend that came by to visit me , what did he look like ? makeup artist : oh , nice smile . friendly eyes . tall , brown hair . really good looking . katie : okay , that 's not really that specific . because you could be describing brad . makeup artist : sorry . it 's hard to make a picture with words . but i could draw his face . katie : you could draw him ? okay , yeah , i 'm really curious . makeup artist : okay , no problem . just let me grab a piece of paper and we 'll solve this mystery . [ scene_break ] brad : i 'm sorry . i 'm looking for meg snyder . mike : uh , try the courthouse at the zoning board hearing . she was there when i left . brad : thanks , bud . meg : hey -- brad : there you are ! i 've been looking everywhere for you . meg : what 's wrong ? everything okay ? brad : oh , could n't be better . okay , margo is throwing an engagement party tonight for me and katie . i want to invite you personally . 7 : 00 , tom and margo 's place . meg : wait a minute , you and katie got engaged ? that 's fantastic ! brad : thank you -- meg : oh , my gosh , i 'm so happy for you . of course i 'm going to be there . um , can you make that meg snyder plus one ? brad : no problem . the more the merrier ? um , i 'll see you tonight . meg : okay . paul : that was unexpected . are you inviting me to a party so you can kiss me again ? meg : not exactly . i do have an ulterior motive for asking you out -- paul : you ? really ? well , i 'm fond of ulterior motives . see , further proof that we 're meant to be together . meg : i was hoping my inviting you would put you in a better mood . paul : well , it worked . meg : so i can you ask you again to try and keep mike in town . paul : whatever you want . i 'll give it my best shot . mike : oh , bye , again and good luck with everything . paul : mike , listen , meg and i have been talking and we 've decided that it would be just a huge mistake for you to leave town right now . mike : you decided for me ? paul : yes . look , we really need for you to see this project through . and we 'll do whatever it takes to make you stay . [ scene_break ] makeup artist : i 'm pretty good at this . even worked for the police to pay my way through college . not a lot of creativity in being a sketch artist , though . katie : what , the cops did n't like you giving their suspects makeovers ? makeup artist : only the ones who really needed it . but , do n't worry , my sketches got used in court a couple of times . and when i 'm done , you 'll know exactly who your mystery friend was . katie : jack -- hi . jack : hi . makeup artist : no , not him . i 'm going to keep working . jack : what was that all about ? katie : just a segment we 're working on . it 's nothing . so what brings you by ? jack : i 'm here to see brad , actually . brad : yo , what are you doing here ? jack : i 've changed my mind . if the offer is still open , i 'd love to come to the engagement party . [ scene_break ] paul : here 's the thing , mike . i -- i know that the guy that you found to replace you with this project and probably -- read a blueprint and put on a hardhat and point to where all the cement should go . but we do n't need somebody that can just follow orders . we need somebody that cares about this project . somebody who has a history with the snyder family and knows how important it is for them to preserve that land . mike , please , what do you say ? ca n't you just stick around long enough to see emma 's vision through to the end ? mike : well , i -- i would hate to disappoint emma . and to be honest , i would be afraid to disappoint her . meg : see ? any other contractor would n't know mama well enough to be afraid . you are the man for the job . paul : and you would n't want emma to think that you 're some kind of quitter , would you ? mike : i 'm not a quitter . paul : no , but you know , if you leave now , technically , she 'd be right . meg : mama 's always right . mike : there 's really no way around this , is there ? all right , okay , i 'll stay . paul : all right . and you 're okay with the terms that we set up before ? the same deal ? mike : yeah , you got it . paul : okay , no backing out this time . mike : no , i made a promise . i 'll keep it . paul : great . meg : uh , mike , can i have a word with you ? alone ? paul : i 'll be in my office . meg : you found out about katie , did n't you ? mike : that she 's engaged to your cousin , brad ? yeah . meg : how would you like some unsolicited advice ? mike : is there any other kind ? meg : uh , no , not in the snyder family . i get what you 're going through . i 've been through a lot of stuff , too . that 's made me see things a lot clearer . things that maybe i did n't want to see before . you know , when a relationship goes bad before you decide whether you should move on or not , you need to figure out what went wrong in the first place . i do n't think it would be right if you just ignored it or ran away . because it did n't really work for me . i tried . mike : thanks for the advice , meg . i 'll see you later . meg : yeah . [ scene_break ] brad : yeah , well , you know , jack , thanks for being a big man about it and all -- but i 'm not sure i want you coming to the party . because it 's going to be the happiest night of my life . and i do n't want you sulking around , spoiling it . katie : brad , stop . no hard feelings , remember ? that 's what we agreed upon . you two are brothers . if you would still like to come , you 're welcome . brad : you heard the lady . i 'm all about what makes katie happy . jack : well , thank you . so it 's okay if i bring carly then ? katie : of course . i hear you two are doing just about everything together these days . [ scene_break ] meg : hey . thank you for convincing mike to stay . paul : anything to see you smile . and i 've decided , you know , since it 's going to be my life 's work for the next 50 years or so -- to make you happy , i -- no time to get started like the present -- meg : okay , okay -- do n't push it . we 're going to an engagement party tonight . not waltzing down the aisle together . paul : thanks for inviting me . meg : well , you know , if we 're going to make it to tom and margo 's on time , we 'd better start getting ready -- paul : meg , as much as i would really love to see you all dressed up , or even better yet , all undressed up -- meg : okay , you said you 're not going to push it -- paul : i 'm not coming to the party . it 's a family party . it 's the hughes ' and the snyders -- and let 's face , me showing up -- i 'm just a big disruption . and we agreed to not push it . meg : well , i 've got to hand it to you , ryan . you 're making all the right moves these days . paul : thanks . i 'm going to try and be open and honest now . and not so underhanded and i figure that if i 'm open and honest about how underhanded i am , then that 's not really underhanded , right ? and we 'll just -- we 'll see how that works . [ scene_break ] carly : oh , hey . jack : hey . carly : i guess you were feeling adventurous today . how are things are the station ? jack : three hold ups , four drug busts . and a guy who tried to prove his innocence by getting violent . carly : uh , well , just an average day at the office . jack : exactly . do you have any plans tonight , carly ? carly : no . no , i was just planning on helping parker with his homework , keeping j.j. away from the video games , and reading to sage for a bit . jack : well , i 've been invited to katie and brad 's engagement party . carly : that 's right -- katie and brad are engaged . i saw something about that on tv . jack : you and everybody else in oakdale . my brother went all out . carly : how gracious of them to invite you . jack : yeah . listen , i was wondering , would you like to go with me ? katie said it would be okay . carly : that was very nice of her . i 'd love to . jack : good . oh , i was also thinking , you might want to ask parker if he 'd like to come along . you know how crazy he is about katie . carly : great . i 'll ask him . [ scene_break ] cop : no overtime today , chief ? margo : oh , right it down , boys . not only am i leaving five minutes early , yes -- but i 'm also going home to throw a party , an act of domesticity . cop : what are you cooking ? margo : cooking -- cooking -- no , no , it 's whatever the caterer has on special . but i plan on lying and telling everybody i made it myself . take care , guys . mike : excuse me , do you know where i might be able to find margo hughes ? cop : you just missed her . chief went home early . if it 's an emergency , i can page her . mike : no -- no , thanks . it 's personal . i 'll try her at home . [ scene_break ] katie : that was a great show . brad : yes , it was . katie : okay , we 've got a move on . we do n't want to be late to our own party . brad : yeah , we 've got to get this party on the road . because we 've got to make this engagement official . katie : oh , as opposed to when you announced it on live television in front of all our fans ? brad : all right , that was different . that was different . the people who watch us on tv , we do n't know them , and you know -- they really do n't know us . katie : oh , on the contrary , they think they do . have you read our fan mail ? brad : well , tonight , i ca n't wait to tell everyone who really knows us , who really loves us , that i promise to make you the happiest woman in the world . that 's official . that 's a commitment . katie : you really can be so sweet sometimes . brad : i know -- katie : let 's go . brad : let 's go . makeup artist : katie ! i finished the sketch . guess it 's not that important . [ next_on ] brad : you 're not going to regret spending the rest of your life with me . mike : wow , you really are trying to get rid of me , are n't you -- if i did n't know any better -- holden : who 's that from , anyway ? lily : it 's from dusty . luke : i have been waiting so long for this . i ca n't believe it 's actually happening . noah : neither can i . carly : do n't do this if you do n't mean it . jack : stop talking -- | katie and brad talk about whom they should invite to their engagement party even jack . jack and margo talk about katie and carly . jack is confused as to whether he should let himself fall back in love with carly . paul and meg show up for a meeting , as mike seems to be a no show . mike continues to try to track down katie with no success . he does receive unpleasant news when he learns katie is newly engaged . katie and carly 's paths cross and she learns of katie and brad 's engagement ; she is thrilled for them so katie invites her to the party . mike shows up finally at the meeting and impresses the board members and meg . jack turns down brad 's invite , which infuriates brad . margo calls jack on it , asks him to reconsider for katie and brad , and even suggests that he bring carly . lily and carly talk about katie and jack . katie learns someone stopped by woak to see her , but they did not leave a name . the oakdale now employee offers to draw him . jack shows up and tells brad and katie that he would like to come to their engagement party . he also asks to bring carly . mike tells meg and paul that he is leaving town asap . meg realizes it is because of katie . meg asks paul to do whatever he can to keep mike in town . paul does what is asked of him and mike finally agrees to stay in town through the end of the project . meg asks paul to come to the engagement party with her , but paul turns her down trying to do the right thing and take things slowly . jack asks carly to brad and katie 's engagement party to her relief but it is short lived when jack suggests that parker come along too . mike tries to catch margo , but he is told she already went home for the day . brad and katie look forward to their party , as they head out to get ready . the woman races out to show the clearly sketched picture of mike to katie , but she is already gone . the woman leaves it out for katie to see . |

[ scene_break ] lily : maybe going away is a bad idea . holden : no , no , no . i get why you 're doing this , and i agree with you . lily : you do ? holden : yeah . forcing faith to look at the consequences of her actions -- i think it 's a good idea . lily : or it 's a last resort . holden : look , she has a serious problem , and i had been reluctant to admit it , but you have dealt with it head - on . and i think we need to deal with it now as a family . lily : but we 're not a family anymore . holden : yes , we are . lily : that was fast . faith : do n't get too excited . if you want me to go away with you , fine . i 'll go -- on one condition . lily : what 's that ? faith : i want molly to come with us . holden : faith , this is a family matter . faith : and your girlfriend 's not family ? holden : this is for the three of us to work out . molly has nothing to do with it . faith : mom ca n't stand molly . that 's the only reason why you 're saying no to her coming with us . holden : i 'm saying no because it 's not about you calling the shots . it 's about what your parents want for you . and what we want is for you to see things more clearly . faith : i already see things clearly , thanks . lily : faith , this is n't a lecture trip . faith : right . lily : it 's about us being together , having fun , remembering how to trust one another . faith : do you hear yourself ? lily : yes , i do . baby , do you remember when you were 10 and we took that road trip to california ? we had so much fun together . faith : yeah , we did , because you did n't hate me then . lily : faith , i could never hate you . baby , i do n't hate you . holden : your mother is telling the truth , and i think you know it . faith : so i do n't have a choice ? holden : no , you do have a choice on how you go on this trip . you can either go with an attitude , or you can go with an open mind . faith : fine . holden : good . open minds for all of us .

[ scene_break ] carly : hi . you got my message ? jack : yeah . i 'm on my break and i 'm all yours . what 's going on ? carly : well , you have to promise me something , before i tell you . jack : words that chill to the bone . what am i getting myself into here ? carly : you have to promise me that you will not have me committed until you 've heard me out . okay ? jack : well , with a lead - in like that ? absolutely not ! let 's hear it . carly : how would you feel if i told you that i was leaning towards working with b.r.o . again ? jack : how would i feel ? like i 've got the bends . i 'm serious ! honey , you 're in , you 're out . you 're up , you 're down . what happened to all the relief and satisfaction you got from the last time you threw in the b.r.o . towel ? carly : you promised me that you were n't going start talking until you heard me out . jack : no , you wanted me to promise i would n't have you committed . which i never agreed to , by the way . i never promised that i would n't have an opinion . so tell me , what 's the difference between the offer they tossed at you a few weeks ago and this one that 's tempting you now ? carly : okay , just -- just until i finish . okay ? this time , i 'll be working with barbara ryan herself . not paul . [ jack 's protests are muffled ] carly : now it 's at barbara 's request . and i have the designs . and i know that things have been a complete circus with paul and everything . but , i 've been thinking about it , jack . and i 'm thinking , what the hell ? you know ? i have the designs . i have the time . i have the talent . and the sketches -- and all the signs say `` go for it . `` so -- now you can tell me what you think . your gut reaction . jack : in a word -- run ! [ scene_break ] jack : how 'd this b.r.o . offer even come up ? carly : barbara came to me , and asked me for help finishing her line for the las vegas show . she 's way behind and she needs my input . jack : barbara suggested this ? barbara ryan ? carly : yeah . no , i know . i kept waiting for the punch line , too . but it never came , jack . she 's serious . she needs me . she needs my designs . jack : and you believe her ? you trust her enough to work with her again , honey ? carly : i know that we have n't had the best working relationship in history . jack : that 's an understatement . you remember how she tried to stab you with a pair of scissors during the new york show ? or the blowout you had after craig plagiarized her designs and then fed them to you ? do you remember that ? carly : no . i have n't forgotten anything , jack . but it 's because i 've had such a -- multidimensional relationship with her , that i 'll know what to look for if she starts to spin out of control . jack : do you think she found out about you and paul planning to take over her company ? carly : i do n't think there 's any way she could have . jack : honey , this could be a setup . building you up just to tear you down ! carly : jack , there 's no way she could have found out . and i already told paul that any agreements we had are null and void . there 's no scheming . there 's no planning . there 's no new company . if i take this job , i go in clean . jack : all right , we 've covered barbara and paul . what about rosanna ? you tell her about this offer ? carly : i told her everything . jack : and what did she say ? carly : she wants me to do it . [ jack sighs ] jack : you 're kidding me . after -- after all the threats and the ultimatums , she 's okay with you working with paul again ? ! carly : is n't it great ? jack : frightening is more like it . what brought about this change of heart ? carly : she had time to think it over . i mean , when she first got back to town , she hated the idea of me working with the man who betrayed her . but now , she 's had some time and she 's come to her senses . jack : i 'm not going to tell you what to do . it 's your career , your talent . carly : but you have to have an opinion . jack : honey , i know how hard you worked on those designs -- the sacrifices you made . and then when rosanna made you choose between working with paul and a sister . i know how hard it was for you to push those sketches aside , especially because they were so fantastic . so you know you have my blessing , and you never have to doubt or question that . carly : oh , thank you , jack ! jack : the thing that worries me is barbara coming to you , hat in hand . are you absolutely sure , beyond a shadow of a doubt , that there 's nothing else going on with her that she 's not telling you ? carly : well -- no . no , i 'm not sure of that at all .

[ scene_break ] katie : okay , what 's the most important thing ? mike : staying out of jail . katie : right . and in order to do that , we have to get the rubies back to their rightful owner . we just have to go to carly 's and get them . mike : and hope that jack and carly do n't notice a big hole in their basement wall ? katie : we 'll just have to break in when they 're not there . mike : now you 've got me committing new crimes on top of the old crimes . katie : honey , any other person could n't do it , but you 're a contractor . you can get in there , break a hole in the wall , get the rubies and patch it back exactly like it looked before . no one will know the difference . how long would that take ? mike : i 'd have to replaster . hopefully the color would look the same . why am i even thinking about this ? this is crazy . katie : honey , please , we have to at least try ! we 've lost each other so many times , usually because of some stupid thing that i did with simon or henry or whatever . and now if you go to jail because of this stupid book that i wrote -- i 'm so sorry . mike : i 'm sorry . i should have told you about this a long time ago . katie : why did n't you ? mike : i 'm not real proud of my past , katie . katie : oh , like i 'm so perfect ? look at all of the awful things i 've done . you 've always been there for me . let me be there for you . mike : if i end up going through with this , you ca n't be involved . katie : come on , honey , i can help . you need me . mike : no . i can put a hole in a wall all by myself . katie : please , you need me to help . mike : why ? katie : because i want to get married in june and i want to walk down the aisle in a white dress , not be married by a judge in a prison ! and i do n't want to spend the first few years of my married life with people with guns watching me ! and i want my conjugal rights ! mike : got to love those conjugal rights , but i 'm not letting you help me . katie : honey , please , it 'll be so much easier if we just work together . we can get the rubies . we 'll put them in an unsigned , unmarked package . we 'll send it to the police with a typed letter saying that these rubies were stolen and they needed to be returned to the rightful owner . mike : okay , even if we could get the rubies to the police without being traced , how do we get into carly 's basement ? katie : you take care of the rubies , i 'll take care of getting us in .

marshall : this is what you want , is n't it ? a chance to put me on the witness stand ? well , here i am . i am your witness , counselor . jessica : what is this ? what are you after , marshall ? marshall : the same thing you are , jessica . the truth . you say i 'm a rapist . i say we shared a night of passion . which is it ? i think it 's time we both found out . i swear to tell the truth , the whole truth and nothing but the truth , so help me god . jessica : approximately how long have you known jessica griffin ? marshall : not quite a year . jessica : and is it true that , on two previous occasions , you had consensual sex ? marshall : yes , we did . jessica : and when was the most recent of those two occasions ? marshall : right before the district attorney election . jessica : so , that was what ? about six months ago ? marshall : yes . jessica : since that time , has she initiated any other sexual encounters ? marshall : not directly . jessica : is it , or is it not true , mr. travers , that jessica griffin told you over and over again that she was in love with ben harris ? yes or no ? marshall : yes . jessica : then what would lead you to believe otherwise ? marshall : her actions . jessica : but you have said that she had n't initiated any other kind of sexual activity . marshall : that does n't mean that she did n't encourage my interest in her . jessica : and how did she do this ? marshall : i was wounded , and she was very attentive to me during my recovery . she also offered to help with legal issues that i have pending and in the search for my daughter . jessica : so , when she offered to help you , did she touch you some kind of sexual way ? when she was helping you find your daughter , did she kiss you or say to you that she wanted to rekindle your sexual relationship ? marshall : well , not in so many words . jessica : a simple yes or no , mr. travers . marshall : no . jessica : so , ms. griffin acted as your legal counsel and your friend , but at no time did she say that she wanted to engage in a physical relationship . marshall : well , a physical relationship was n't possible after my release from the hospital . jessica : well , once you recovered , did she continue to act as your friend ? marshall : definitely . she invited me into her home . jessica : as her guest ? marshall : it was a court - approved arrangement that she voluntarily entered into . jessica : i see . and was she still involved with ben harris at the time ? marshall : yes , she was . jessica : mr. travers , do you really consider jessica griffin your friend ? marshall : and more . jessica : define `` more . `` marshall : i believe we have an emotional bond and a sexual chemistry between us . jessica : and yet , in the past six months , she has not invited your advances . marshall : it 's my opinion that she 's confused . jessica : really ? was she confused , in your opinion , when you came upon her , asleep , and held her down and forced yourself on her ? marshall : it was n't like that . jessica : she said no over and over again , but you silenced her with your mouth on hers . you silenced her with the weight of your body smothering her . is this how you treat your so - called `` friends `` ? marshall : no . jessica : is friendship an invitation to rape , mr. travers ? you just take what you want and deny the crime and the consequences ? marshall : i did not rape jessica griffin . jessica : what about the other women in your life ? marshall : what other women ? jessica : is this how your girlfriend in college became pregnant ? marshall : that 's inadmissible . jessica : she ran away from you , pregnant with your child . did you rape her ? marshall : no . that 's a lie . jessica : you were done with her , were n't you ? you took what you wanted , and you moved on , just like you took from jessica griffin . marshall : no . jessica : ladies and gentlemen , i ask you , is this the kind of man that you can trust to tell the truth ? a man who -- who fathered a child and does n't even know about it ? a man who -- who has no regard for the mother of this child ? marshall : that has nothing to do with you and me . the past is irrelevant . jessica : oh , but my past is relevant , is n't it , marshall ? is that how it goes ? the same rules do n't apply ? this is some kind of twisted double standard ? you could pull my choices from the past and use them in this courtroom , but i do n't have the same right ?

[ scene_break ] janet : how can we make parker less possessive ? jack : i have no idea , but i think craig is pushing way too hard this time . the wedge he 's trying to drive between them is too abrupt . if we just leave them alone , they 'll drift apart on their own . janet : yeah , but liberty should be able to do whatever she wants to do . jack : of course she should , but liberty 's a smart girl . what happens when she sees through craig 's machinations ? janet : she 'll go running right back to parker . jack : and they 'll be more determined to stick together . liberty : mom ! janet : oh ! what 's wrong ? what happened ? liberty : i left parker .

[ scene_break ] tom : yeah , you know , the wedding party , it is -- it is lopsided . there 's no matron of honor . margo : mute . tom : do n't even try to play bad cop with me . i know how romantic you are deep , deep down . so just quit moping and get down there and stand up for your sister . you know , i 'll bet if took your car , put the siren on top and ran a few red lights , you could be there in , what , under three minutes ? sweetie , this is live . if you do not go there now , there will not be a second take .

paul : yes , i was hospitalized . i make no secret of it . at least i had therapy . my ex - wife tried to burn down her mom 's house with my kid in the kitchen . i do n't know why we 're talking about this . it 's not important . the important thing is that i do have custody and i 'm paying you to make sure that i keep it ! you do n't knock ? meg : i came to see eliza . paul : you ca n't just stop by here whenever you feel like it , all right ? you were here because eliza was n't feeling well , but she 's feeling better now , so we go back to the old rules , and i have custody . paul : you fight me on this , meg , you 're not gon na like the way it turns out . meg : you know , honestly , i was hoping that we could avoid going back to court for eliza 's sake . paul : only way you can guarantee that is to sign away your rights . are you prepared to do that ? meg : of course not . i 'm her mother . but i do have a proposition for you . paul : what kind of proposition ? meg : i would like to move in here with you so we can both take care of eliza .

[ scene_break ] paul : you 're suggesting that we get back together ? meg : yes and no . obviously , we have some problems that ca n't be resolved . at least not right away . but we could tell the judge that we 've reconciled , that we want to be a family again . and nobody has to know that 's not a real marriage . we 'd be doing it for eliza . paul : right . meg : obviously we would have to live together , but it would be for the good of our daughter . and in a lot of ways , it would make it a lot easier for the both of us . paul : a lot of ways it would make it more difficult for the both of us . meg : look , i know that you do n't want to be with me again , and that 's fine . we could live separate lives except where our daughter is concerned . that way , we wo n't run the risk of losing her . paul : okay , let 's -- let 's think about this for a second . i would have one condition . meg : what 's that ? paul : well , you can call our marriage whatever you like . but you 'd have to swear to me you 'll never be with another man . [ scene_break ] craig : do n't even think about it , parker . parker : i have to go find liberty . we have to work this out . carly : she needs her space , honey . you have to respect that . parker : this is all his fault . you started this . you 're the one who wanted liberty to get a job out of town in the first place . craig : liberty turned down the internship in new york . parker : so you got her a job in chicago . carly : craig 's trying to help . parker : no , you did this on purpose , both of you . you think you can break up my marriage . but you ca n't ! i wo n't let you . carly : parker , please ! parker ! craig : let him go . let him go . [ scene_break ] janet : tell us what happened , sweetheart . jack : did you and parker have a fight ? liberty : yeah . he totally freaked out when mom and i came back late from chicago . and by the time i got home , he treated me like i had done something illegal or something . it 's just -- he gets so paranoid when i 'm away for a couple of hours , mom ! how am i supposed live like this ? janet : you should n't have to , sweetheart . jack : sounds like he really lost it . liberty : he 's been doing a lot of that lately . and it started in new york when he was yelling at his mom for being drunk . and she said she stopped drinking . but it 's just like he 's mad at everybody all the time , mom , you know ? i 'm really scared about it . janet : okay , sweetheart , you know what ? parker is going through a rough time . but you were right to get out when you did . liberty : no , mom , you were right . you were right for telling me that i was too young to get married . i just want to live my own life . janet : of course you do , sweetie . i 'm proud of you . you made the right decision . jack : you and parker need some time apart . liberty : i know . when i told him it was over , he just -- he did n't want to hear it . parker : liberty ! no , i need to see my wife ! jack : no . parker : you have no right to separate us . i need to talk to her . jack : liberty does n't want to see you right now . parker : she said that ? jack : yeah . and you need to respect that . parker : i do n't know what 's wrong with her . jack : she thinks it 's time to end the marriage . parker : she does n't mean that . she 's just confused because of craig . jack : craig has nothing to do with this . okay , this is what liberty wants . parker : she has no idea what she wants because everyone is telling her what to do . her mom probably messed with her head when they were in chicago together and convinced her to break up with me . jack : no one 's to blame here , parker . parker : yes , you all are ! you and mom and janet have been obsessed with breaking us up from day one . jack : obsessed , that 's an interesting choice of words . no , we have been opposed to you and liberty getting married too young . yes . any parents would be . but as far as your family 's concerned , your immediate family , your mother and i have always wanted what 's best for you . parker : which means keeping me away from liberty . jack : not forever . no . but you and liberty do not need to be married at this point in your lives . parker : i think that should be for us to decide . jack : let me ask you a better question , okay ? why are you in such a rush to be tied down ? should n't you be playing ball or hanging out with your friends ? i 'm not saying that you ca n't see liberty , but would n't you rather be dating her than divorcing her ? parker : she said that ? she wants to get divorced ? jack : i think liberty 's starting to realize that this marriage just does n't make any sense right now . parker : it 's so ridiculous ! she 's letting other people push her around . it 's not fair ! jack : parker -- parker , you need to take a breath . listen to me for a second . take a breath and think of the upside . you can still hang out with her , go to the prom , just like all your friends . and if later on you decide that you want to be together for the long run , then you have our blessing . but you do n't need to be making an iron - clad commitment when you 're not even out of high school yet ! parker : but we already made a commitment , dad . we said those vows to each other . jack : you may not be ready to honor them . and that 's natural , parker . you 're not supposed to be mature enough to be in this kind of relationship . parker : i am so sick and tired of people telling me that i 'm too young . jack : at this point , i think you are . and liberty is starting to realize that . parker : no , that 's because she 's listening to everyone except for me . jack : you 're not gon na go in there . okay , i know you 're upset , but in time you will see this is for the best . parker : no , it sucks . and i think me and liberty should be the ones to decide what 's best for us . jack : i think liberty has already decided that , son . parker : that 's why i need to talk to her and fix this ! jack : i 'm sorry . no . not -- not with you this upset . once you go home and cool off , you can call her later . parker : when are you gon na realize that i do n't have to do what you tell me to anymore ? ! [ scene_break ] carly : i should n't have let parker leave like that . he 's too upset . craig : well , at least he 's not driving . he took his bike . carly : do you think he went to find liberty ? craig : probably . it 's a good bet that she 's with janet , maybe jack , which means there 's plenty of adult supervision . carly : why am i not reassured ? craig : you should be . this is finally going in the right direction . carly : i do n't know about that . craig : trust me . come on , why do n't you sit down ? carly : how can you expect me to be calm right now ? craig : what else can you do ? carly : you know , you should n't be so smug . you are responsible for this entire disaster . craig : oh , right . am i responsible for global warming , too ? carly : do n't make jokes ! this is not a joke ! the child 's heart is broken . craig : i know it 's painful . but in the long run , it 's gon na be good for him . carly : he ca n't see that right now , can he ? craig : what i did was unpleasant , but it was necessary . and it was for a good cause . you know , it 's kind of like a controlled burn . it destroys trees but saves the forest . carly : oh , craig , you do n't know parker . when he gets upset like this , he acts out . i ca n't tell you how many times he 's run away . craig : he 's not gon na run away this time . he 'll pick himself up , and he 'll move on . i told you . i know what i 'm doing .

katie : he kissed me . but i was kind of asking for it . margo : uh - huh . katie : well , vienna scratched my face and i kind of took advantage of it , i think . i mean , i acted like it really did n't hurt -- like it did hurt , but then i was pretending it did n't hurt , so that he had to -- you know , tend to it . margo : well , then , he was just putty in your hands . katie : but then after it happened , he went -- really jack - like , you know , and said that we should n't make an issue out of this . margo : what -- what does that mean ? katie : well , at first i thought it meant that we should just forget it happened . but i do n't know . maybe -- maybe he just was saying that because he thought it was something he should say . or maybe he wanted me to not feel pressured ? if i was n't ready for it . or maybe he just -- it was a way of saying get lost . or all of the above . i 'm hungry . margo : see , you really do n't know ? katie : no , i really do n't know . margo : all right , then . honey , i 've got a question for you . since you really do n't know what jack is thinking , what about you ? what do you want to have happen next ? katie : well , if you 're asking if jack and i have the basis of a good , solid relationship , let 's see . i 'm responsible for his kids not having a mother , and when i was married to one of his best friends , i slept with the guy he hates most in the world . margo : well , see , now i feel better . because you have reasoned this out , and your life is dictated by reason . katie : you do n't think it 's a good idea , do you ? margo : do you want to know what i think ? i think that the way that you stepped up to the plate and apologized for what you did and the way that you pitched in with sage -- i do n't think jack is as concerned about your past as you think he is . katie : did he say that to you ? margo : we 're cops , not girlfriends . he did once mention that you were n't such a bad driver . and that -- that 's huge for jack . katie : so you 're saying he did n't say anything about kissing me ? margo : you know what , he passed me a note in study hall . katie : oh , stop it ! margo , i need your help here . i really like him . and kissing him was -- really great . and i kind of want to see what happens from here . but i also want to be smart about this . and i just -- i do n't want him again , ever . margo : see , i knew i liked you . katie : so the responsible thing here , to make sure that i do n't hurt him again , would be to just stop it right here . and i think maybe that 's what jack was saying . that we should just not discuss it and we can pretend it never happened . margo : ah . do n't do that . katie : what ? margo : well , this whole thing with jack , i think that you should talk to him . get him to talk about how he 's feeling . what he 's thinking . and i ca n't believe i 'm saying this , but do n't drop this , katie . because i think that you two would be fine . and it would n't be such a bad thing for jack to be happy right now . katie : i never , ever expected you to say that . margo : i never expected to say it myself . but my life has n't been exactly a bed of roses lately . katie : i know . margo : but seeing you two at the station , together , not together -- it was good to be around you because you seemed happy . and that 's not nothing these days . katie : no . no , it 's not nothing . [ scene_break ] jack : you know , there are books and movies about brothers who talk about their personal lives . we 're not those brothers . brad : which is pretty much the reason why your life is a disaster . jack : oh , and yours is n't ? brad : well , we 're not here to talk about my life . jack : we 're not here to talk about anything . go . go back to your tv job and let me -- let me do some work that really matters in this town . brad : the reason why -- the reason why you 're so hostile is because you know what i 'm going to say and you do n't want to hear it . but is that fair to katie ? jack : you do n't know anything about katie . brad : okay , so she 's not so guilty about what she did to carly that she does n't spend half her life bending over backwards with your kids to make up for it ? and you have n't noticed that the reason why she feels so at home with you is because her ex was someone that people would say that was the strong silent type and you 're pretty much the same ? jack : who told you that ? brad : nobody . i observed . i 'm an observant person . jack : well , you 're not that observant . brad : yeah , and also observed that a few months after your ex took off with the jewel thief , you found another unreliable blonde who 's got a great -- she 's in great shape . jack : go away . brad : jack , you and katie -- you guys , you 're the same , okay ? you 're the same . and if you two can just have a fling -- have a good time , that would be awesome . well , you 're both so -- jack : what ? brad : complicated . jack : yeah . brad : a little tongue wrestling in the kitchen and you 're both like , `` what does that mean ? `` i mean , did that mean what i think it meant , or did it mean something else ? you guys are exhausting . what ? jack : this is an awful moment . brad : why ? jack : why ? because i 'm actually considering the possibility that -- that you could be right .

[ phone rings ] mike : hello ? henry : it 's -- it 's henry coleman . i 'm down here at the metro . i thought you might want to meet me for a little chat . mike : i 'm not interested , henry . bye . henry : no , wait ! wait , wait , wait . it 's very important , and it 'll make your life a lot easier . mike : you 're not trying to sell me something , are you ? henry : only peace of mind , my brother . i have the inside scoop on what katie 's going to do next . and i do n't know , i thought you might like a heads - up . mike : i 'll be right there . [ scene_break ] paul : i can always tell when you 're hiding something . barbara : okay , maybe i should have told you that i was planning to go see will . maybe it was n't very smart of me to hire carly without discussing it with you first -- paul : was it smart to sign documents that give jordan sinclair secret powers ? barbara : wait a second . i was trying to save time ! we have a deadline . i was trying to cut out the red tape ! paul , honey , you and i built b.r.o . we can do it again . it 's possible . we just have to work very , very hard , and make sure that this show in las vegas is the biggest success that b.r.o . has ever had , and then these problems are going to disappear . [ knock on door ] carly : hi . paul : hi . carly : is it a bad time ? paul : it 's getting there , yeah . carly : look , i realize that we have n't spoken since i started at b.r.o . , but i 'm looking for barbara -- paul : well , you came to the right place . mommy , your resident genius is here . barbara : hi , carly , i assume this is about business . carly : yeah , yeah . i just heard about an opportunity , which i thought is very exciting . of course , i ca n't approve of it myself . paul : right , so you decided to go right around me and straight to barbara . carly : no , paul , that 's not what i was thinking at all . barbara : you know , maybe we should discuss this in the morning , carly . paul : i want to hear this great idea . the both of us here together . you and me , barbara . just like it old times -- only different . [ scene_break ] rosanna : jordan . hi , what are you doing here ? i thought you were having dinner with jennifer . jordan : yeah , we ended up cutting it short . rosanna : oh , i 'm so sorry to hear that . i hope it was n't because you came and helped me . jordan : it was a lot of things . rosanna : oh -- well , listen , i 've already thanked you for coming to my rescue . but i 'd like to do more than that . jordan : no , really that 's not necessary . thank you . rosanna : everybody has this little gift that they really want but they 're afraid to buy for themselves . well , i would like to buy you that gift . so you just tell me whatever it is -- jordan : i do n't want any gifts , rosanna . but i would love to know the real reason you called me tonight . [ scene_break ] rosanna : i will tell you everything what went through my head when i rolled into the ditch . [ rosanna sighs ] first , i checked myself to make sure that i was n't bleeding . and then i did pick up the phone to call my assistant . only i hung up . because what i really needed was a friend . jordan : and i was the only number in your phone book ? rosanna : well , no . you know , what i 've a rough year . i 've been forced to give up my adopted child . i 've had to divorce my husband . i 've ended a relationship with a man i thought was my best friend . jordan : well , paul does n't deserve your friendship , not after what he did . rosanna : thank you . i do n't really want to get into it . except to say that you have been the one bright spot in what has otherwise a really bad year for me . so although i could call other friends , you 're the person i really wanted to see . jordan : i was n't complaining . i just wanted to know . rosanna : any other questions ? jordan : no . rosanna : well , then would you mind if i joined you for dinner ? because it 's been a pretty hectic day , i have n't had much time to eat . jordan : i would love that . and in the meantime -- why do n't you help yourself ? rosanna : thank you . [ scene_break ] barbara : you have got to be kidding me . rosanna wants to sponsor the show ? carly : she felt an influx of cash would push us over the top . barbara : well , that goes without saying . but why she give a damn about our success ? carly : well , people who follow fashion shows also buy cars . of course she wants the cabot motors logo on the stage and on the programs . barbara : of course , but there are a lot of other tie - ins that will give her just as much publicity . carly : well , all right . she does have an ulterior motive . paul : i 'm shocked ! carly : she wants the show to do well , because she wants lots of people to see my designs . paul : well , nominate her for sibling of the year . carly : there 's just one small catch . there 's a guy in the publicity department at cabot motors who has sort of a thing for jennifer . he 's seen her model a couple of times . he 's got a picture of her in his office . rosanna thinks that it might be a good idea if she is a contact at b.r.o . barbara : well , that will work . i 'm sure jen will do her part . carly : really ? i mean , she 'd have to fly to detroit tomorrow , and she might have to stay for a couple of days . and of course , there might be trips down the road . barbara : well , you know , jen has been in oakdale for months now . i 'm sure a change of scenery would do her well . carly : so , you 'll make sure she says yes ? barbara : i will get right on it . in fact , you know , i 'm going to call rosanna right now and thank her . unless you think it 's too late for me to be calling her . carly : i do . i do think that it 's too late . why do n't you wait ' til the morning ? barbara : i will do that . and i 'll send her a basket of muffins . and we wo n't have to worry about anything . do you know that ? carly -- i knew that hiring you was a smart idea . i just did n't know how right i was .

[ scene_break ] mike : so what 's she planning next ? henry : well , uh , right now , she 's working on , um -- you know , i ca n't be very specific . mike : then why the hell am i here ? henry : because i want you to know what 's behind all the craziness . she 's still in love with you . mike : i 'm not going to listen to this . henry : mike , listen . she is , she is , okay ? and that 's why you two need to sit down , alone , and see if you can work your ways back together . mike : katie 's in love with simon . henry : oh , come on , simon 's an obsession , all right . katie 's had hundreds of obsessions . but with you it 's different . she feels something different for you . it 's the real thing . it 's , it 's -- it inspires people to write poetry . mike : we 've had so many chances . what 's gon na be different about this time ? henry : maybe nothing . but the two of you have been talking at each other for months , and no one 's been listening . try listening , mike . give it one last chance . [ scene_break ] barbara : what happened ? jennifer : nothing much . i threw myself at him and he turned me down . barbara : what ? honey , i have seen the way he looks at you . he 's interested . jennifer : not anymore . he 's got someone else now -- rosanna cabot . barbara : no . jennifer : her car broke down tonight and who do you think she called ? barbara : she is barely out of her marriage to craig . jennifer : i guess she thinks that jordan can help her forget about that . the worst thing mom , i was totally uncool about it . i got angry and spiteful , and jordan left . barbara : honey , i 'm sorry . i know what high hopes you had for this evening . jennifer : you should 've heard some of the things i said to him . how am i gon na face him at work ? barbara : well , you do n't have to . jennifer : you 're not going to fire him , are you ? barbara : no , no , not on your life . but something came up tonight . something that i think is going to be just what you need , and will maybe even make mr. jordan sinclair realize what a fool he is .

[ scene_break ] manager : a woman came by a little while ago , asking me if she could bug your room . she said it was for a tv show , but i did n't believe her . pilar : what did she look like ? manager : blonde -- cute -- button nose -- the same broad who smacked russ terry with the baseball bat . pilar : i had no idea she 'd go this far . manager : you know her ? pilar : i 'm afraid so . manager : well , do n't worry , i 'll get rid of her next time she comes by . and as for bugging your room -- not gon na happen . pilar : actually , i want you to let her do it . manager : you do ? why ? pilar : oh , it 's just this silly game we 've been playing . but you ca n't let her know that you 've told me about it , lyle . okay ? pretty please ? manager : no skin off my nose . sure . pilar : thanks . you have no idea how helpful you 've been .

[ scene_break ] lucinda : what does mr. morrisey want from lily ? jessica : well , what makes you think he wants something ? maybe this ordeal with julia 's murder has created some kind of bond between them . lucinda : the only bond he 's interested in is one with multiple zeroes . jessica : you think keith is after lily 's money ? lucinda : well , is that so inconceivable ? jessica : no , but it would n't be my first assumption . maybe he simply likes her . lucinda : oh . i do n't trust him . i just do n't trust him . i 'm going on instinct here . and i do trust my instincts . jessica : and you suspect keith is using lily to frame les sweeny ? lucinda : now that it has been said aloud -- do you think that les is telling the truth when he claimed he 's being set up ? jessica : well , i do n't put a lot of faith in clients ' claims . i put my faith in the facts . and the fact is the phone that keith found in les 's room came back clean . lucinda : and does n't it seem odd to you ? i mean , that the phone would be found at such an opportune time ? jessica : are you suggesting keith planted the phone ? lucinda : i never said that . jessica : neither did i . but i will say this . if you 're convinced les is innocent , and you do help in clearing him , there 's a good chance that suspicion could turn right back on lily .

[ scene_break ] lucinda : this is how i account your word ? jessica : my oath as an attorney comes first , lucinda . lucinda : les sweeny is a pathetic waste of oxygen and we both know it . jessica : which does not mean he killed his ex - wife . now , i am bound to represent my client to the best of my ability . whether i like the guy is irrelevant . lucinda : even if it makes lily prime suspect ? jessica : one has nothing to do with the other . lucinda : oh , the hell it does n't . i hired you to protect lily . jessica : no , you hired me to defend les sweeny so that i could inconspicuously spy on your daughter , and i 'm not going to do it . you hired me to defend les , and that 's what i intend to do . as far as keith and lily are concerned , you 're on your own .

[ scene_break ] luke : just do what you have to do , okay ? thanks . damian : who was that ? luke : that was the bank that handles the foundation 's money . apparently the transfer to gia pinnarossa 's account went through . damian : but it was illegal . luke : well , they 'll be able to get the money back , but apparently it 's this very long and brutal process . in the meantime , the foundation 's not gon na be able to see any of that money . damian : will that be a problem ? luke : yeah . we 've already committed cash to a couple of organizations that need the money right away . like , there 's this one where they deliver meals to elderly people who ca n't shop for themselves or cook . damian : what will happen to those people ? luke : well , a lot of them will go hungry if we ca n't subsidize them , and that 's just about , you know , 1 of maybe 20 groups that we support . damian : you know , i have a solution . why do n't you just let me help ?

[ scene_break ] lily : holden , you ca n't expect me to give up my job at the foundation just because damian 's gon na be signing the checks for a while ! holden : damian is handing over his own money for the foundation . that means he wants to be more involved . lily : yes , with luke . not with me . holden : yes , he wants to get closer to luke , and that 's fine . it 's okay with luke . but he also wants to get closer to you . lily : that 's not gon na happen because i 'm not interested . holden : it 's not about what you want . it 's about what damian wants . he wants his family back , and that includes you . lily : well , he 's gon na be disappointed because i just want to be with you . holden : what if that does n't stop him ? lily : i believe in luke 's foundation . i made a commitment to him and to the causes we support together . i refuse to walk away from that ! holden : even if i ask you to do this for us ? lily : holden . holden : fine . then i guess i have my answer . lily : holden !
