[ scene_break ] lucinda : i know you 're upset , and you want to share . you want to share everything with holden . you ca n't . lily : why not ? lucinda : because holden does n't lie . he can not tell a lie . he only tells the truth . he will tell somebody , and then craig will find out that gabriel is his son . lily : do n't you think he has a right to know ? lucinda : and you know what he 'll try to do to us when he learns that we 've kept the secret all these years . lily : we 're gon na find out soon enough , because he already knows . lucinda : how -- he knows what ? lily : he knows that gabriel is his son . lucinda : how ? how does he know that ? lily : i told him . lucinda : you are out of your mind ! now , why ? ! why did you do that ? ! lily : mother , that boy could be dying , and he 's here all alone . lucinda : he has us . lily : oh , please . have you even been to see him ? lucinda : no . have you ? lily : yes . that 's -- that 's when i ran into craig . lucinda : oh , oh , and then you had to tell him ! you had to tell everything ! lily : yes , i had to tell him that that boy that was lying unconscious in that hospital bed was his son ! lucinda : why ? why -- would you risk everything after -- lily : it was n't our place to keep it from him anymore ! lucinda : it was the mother 's decision ! it was lidia 's decision ! lily : lidia is dead , mother . lucinda : yes . lily : and gabriel must know about craig . why else would he have come here ? lucinda : you do n't know that for sure . lily : you 're right , i do n't . but if by some miracle this boy does survive , at least he 'll know that craig did n't abandon him before he was born . lucinda : better off without that maniac in his life . lily : it was never up to us to decide . lucinda : we did the right thing . lily : i wish that i could believe that . craig certainly does n't . lucinda : no , of course he does n't , because he wants to -- claim his son and mold him , turn him into a puppet of his will , the way he was trying -- trying to do with poor bryant . lily : where are you going ? lucinda : i 'm going to deal with this ! lily : how ? lucinda : do n't worry about it . lily : mother , what are you going to do ?

[ scene_break ] dr. linn : do you have any idea how long she went without oxygen ? hal : it seemed endless but it probably was n't that long . was at least a few minutes . susan : are you afraid of brain damage ? dr. linn : it 's always possible in cases like this . but , let 's wait and see what the ct scan shows . i 'll go get someone to take her to radiology . susan : thank you . she 's so broken . so broken , hal . hal : yeah , but she still knows how to put up a good fight . couple of minutes she 's gon na open those eyes , give you attitude and throw me out of the room . susan : i 'd give anything for a good fight . hal : me too . it 's not your time , em . do you hear me ? it 's not your time . paul : emily , forgive me .

brad : well , i guess the turning point was when i was naked in front of her . i mean , i did n't plan on it , but when it happened -- jack : whoa , whoa , wait a second -- you were naked ? brad : yeah , brother . jack : with katie ? brad : yeah , yeah . that 's the long and -- well , that 's the long of it . and apparently katie liked what she saw . katie : i 'm sorry . excuse me . what was it , exactly , that i liked ? actually no , before you answer that question , we should probably all go to a locker room , because i have a feeling that this would be a more appropriate conversation there . or you know what ? how about i 'll get the crew and we 'll broadcast it live for america .

cleo : no . is that supposed to be a person ? will : yeah , she 's a person that lies to the drop of a hat and has a smooth explanation for everything . does that remind you of anyone ? cleo : no . will : so what about the email ? let me guess , you 've never heard of the email ? cleo : no , what email ? will : there was an email designed to get gwen to go out of town . see , this is just a really crazy coincidence that someone wrote an email to get gwen to leave town and you 're running around dressed up to look just like her . cleo : i did n't mean to hurt anybody , i really did n't . will : no , that would be jade . did she tell you that this was just a goof ? that this was all in good fun ? cleo : no . will : because this is not a goof and this is not fun . and maybe you do n't know why she 's doing this , but she 's setting something up . something bad . so you 're going to tell me everything -- everything you know so i can stop her from hurting gwen one more time . cleo : okay , i know that you 're upset . you have every right to be upset . it 's just that when i get scared , i get nervous and i act even more stupid . so if you stop raising your voice at me , i can try to tell you the entire truth . will : okay , good . let 's get started . cleo : okay . i know that you think somebody put me up to this , right ? will : right . cleo : well , they did n't . i did this all on my own . and i know that you do n't believe that it 's a goof , but it kind of is . i just thought i 'd come here and gwen would open the door and she 'd see somebody who looks just like her . will : what 's your name ? cleo : cleo . will : well , that was a good goof , cleo . but why are you wearing gwen 's clothes ? cleo : i know that i should n't have . it 's just that nobody was home . will : and you just could n't help yourself . cleo : yeah , she 's just so cool . the way she puts things together . i 'd never think about it myself . will : so you dressed up in her clothes . cleo : yeah . i know that it sounds crazy . i was going to leave right then , but then your mom came and i had to fool her . i absolutely had to . and that 's when i realized , if i could fool her then maybe i could fool other people too . will : what a thrill . cleo : except you . will : what an accomplishment . cleo : i 'll take off her clothes . and your mom left a dress for her . she 's really sweet . will : so after you take off gwen 's clothes and you give back the dress , then what ? cleo : i 'll leave . will : well , that 's one way to go . but i have a better idea . cleo : what are you doing ? will : calling the cops . cleo : will , listen -- before you call the police , can i tell you about my last night in los angeles ? will : is it a long story ? cleo : i do n't think so . will : well , you can just tell me while the cops are on their way , okay ? cleo : i do n't know what i 've done . will : my dad was on the police force , so they 're going to show up pretty quick . do n't -- do n't cry , all right ? just tell me about l.a . cleo : well , i went to los angeles because i wanted to be a singer . i wanted to be somebody just like gwen . will : right . cleo : and it was my last night there and i did n't have a lot of money left and i heard that there was this open mic night and that 's where i saw gwen . and when i heard her sing , i knew that i would never ever have what she had unless i pretended . will : so did you follow her here ? cleo : no , i went back home , but it was pretty awful there . so i was just stopping through here . i 'm on my way to chicago . and i saw that gwen was singing at the club . and i got to hear her . she sounds even better now , huh ? more real . will : okay , let 's just not talk about gwen . keep talking about you . what happened after you saw her at crash ? cleo : well , i realized i 'm never going to be able to sing like that . but i really appreciate it a lot and i thought that maybe she 'd like to know that . that she gets to people like me . and that 's where i really started to mess up kind of bad . will : okay , now we have a real basic problem here and we 're in some freaky territory of human behavior . because as much as i 'd like to be nice to you , i have to protect my wife . cleo : i understand that . will : do you ? do you really ? because no matter how sorry i feel for you , i do n't know what you could do or say that 's going to show me that this is over and is never going to happen again . cleo : i do n't know , either . will : what 's your last name ? cleo : babbit . my name is cleo babbit . will : do you have a driver 's license ? cleo : yeah . it 's right there . will : okay . so now i have your full name , your home address and your drivers license number . so if i ever see you anywhere near gwen ever again , i 'm going to go to the cops and they 're going to put you in their system . cleo : okay . well , just so you know , i know i may seem like a real whack job and stuff , but i would never hurt anybody who has a voice like that . not ever .

[ scene_break ] emily : that 's all you have left of what ? alison : emily -- [ alison sneezes ] emily : bless you . alison : sorry , you caught me in the middle of an allergy attack . emily : since when do you have allergies ? alison : oh , they started in seattle , i guess because of all the rain . and i went to the doctor , and he gave me stuff that totally did n't help . and then i went to vegas , and boom -- nothing . no sneezing , no more stuffy head -- 'cause , you know , it 's really dry out there . emily : yeah , well , maybe that 's because las vegas is in the middle of the desert . alison : yeah , right , the desert . so -- and then i got back here , and the rain , and the flowers and the grass -- emily : yeah , i get it . i get the picture . alison : so , what are you doing here ? breakfast at al 's ? emily : maybe . i actually just wanted to stop by and say thank you for doing such a great job on mom 's house . i honestly do n't think i 've ever seen it so clean in my entire life . and all before your morning shift . where do you get all the energy ? alison : oh , who knows ? high on life , i guess . and besides , you and mom have done so much for me . i mean , you got me a job , a place to stay , and most important -- no new chaos . emily : yeah , yeah , let 's keep it that way . you sure you 're okay , honey ? you look -- i do n't know , your eyes look a little tired to me . alison : oh , they 're just red from the sneezing . i 'm not tired at all . emily : no , you 're not . you 're peppy , i 'd say . alison : well , i was just on my break , and it was so nice out that i decided to take a walk . do n't you just feel good some times , when it 's nice out and everybody 's in a better mood ? emily : yeah , of course i do -- i do . aly , come on . i had to practically drag you back to oakdale , and ever since you 've been here , you 've given me a ton of grief about how you have nothing to do here , and you miss your friends -- alison : you know what i do n't miss ? emily : what ? alison : having zero control over my life . i think -- now that i 'm back away from that , i can actually see how i thought of myself as this movie star . but everyone else was making the decisions , not me . emily : you have no idea how glad i am to hear you say that . so , why do n't we do something together , just you and me ? i do n't know , go get a mani - pedi ? my treat ? alison : oh , that would be fantastic ! emily : you are just little miss excitement today , are n't you ? alison : oh , my break 's over . i 've got to run , but i 'll see -- what 's wrong ? emily : you tell me . and let 's start with this morning . and then you can finish up with where all this sudden excitement is coming from .

[ scene_break ] casey : i totally blew it . gwen : why ? what did you say to maddie ? casey : something about me not letting my stupid mistakes keep her from going away to school . will : and you 're right . casey : yeah , but now she thinks i want her gone . gwen : no , she does n't think that . she knows how much you love her . casey : does she ? i mean , 'cause i do n't know anymore . i ca n't keep hurting the people i love , you know ? i think that i just need to think about what 's best for maddie , even if it means that we ca n't see each other as often as i planned . gwen : i honestly think that you did the right thing . will : casey , you ca n't leave , man . casey : whoa , just -- all right , watch me , okay ? will : what about your parents ? casey : what about maddie ? i ca n't just leave and not say good - bye to the girl i 'm in love with , all right ? and neither could you . will : casey ! casey , wait ! you 're not doing this to yourself , man . casey : just get off me , all right ? i have to find her ! will : your parents really put themselves on the line to get you more time and freedom . you want to make them regret it ? casey : what about maddie , though ? i 'm not gon na leave things like this ! will : just forget about maddie , all right ? they 're really trusting you right now . do n't cause them more pain . casey : okay , fine , you 're right . you 're right . will : so , gwen and i will take care of maddie for a while . gwen : will , do you mind if i talk to casey out here for a little bit ? will : yeah . i 'll go see how tom and margo are doing . gwen : hey , i 'm really sorry -- for everything . i ca n't actually believe that this is happening . casey : yeah , me , neither . but you have nothing to be sorry for . this is all on me . gwen : that 's not true . casey : yeah , it is . gwen : no , we all made mistakes , and you 're the only one who 's being punished . it 's not fair . casey : i stole those bonds , all right ? and i lied about gambling . i think we both know that lying is a bad habit of mine . i put you through hell , and i have n't forgotten that . gwen : we do n't -- we do n't have to talk about that . casey : yeah , no -- yeah , we do .

[ jack sighs ] [ scene_break ] faith : i won ! luke : oh , you 're brutal . faith : let 's play again . luke : oh , no , faithie . i ca n't right now . i really have to talk to mom and dad . how long has mom been asleep ? faith : a while . luke : i wish dad would get home . do you know where he went ? faith : grandpa cal 's house . [ scene_break ] jade : you hate me , too . holden : no , i do n't hate you . jade : yes , you do . holden : no , you 've been a big help . you helped out with girls . you helped out with luke . you were there for him when he needed a friend . and i will always be grateful for that . jade : really ? holden : yes . you have a lot of potential . you just need to start believing in yourself . you deserve a chance at having a wonderful life . that 's the truth . [ scene_break ] emma : are you alone ? meg : well , paul was here . emma : i see . is he coming back ? meg : yes , mama . he went to the hospital to see about emily . emma : oh , right , his wife . meg : i already told you , he married -- emma : yes , i know . no , i know . he married her to protect you . well , i hope you know that i will never like the man . so why have you brought me here , to tell me that you and paul are going to do what ? move in together ? get married ? meg : no , we have no definite plans , yet . emma : of course not . of course not . why should he -- why should he commit himself to you ? i mean , after all , you already have sacrificed your career for him . you 've already been thrown in jail for him . meg : honestly , mama , why ca n't you just get to know him a little bit ? emma : i -- i 'm going to go home . i 'm going . i 'm leaving . meg : wait , wait , wait . i have something for you . emma : what is it ? meg : a check for the money you put up for my legal fees . emma : from paul ryan 's account ? meg : he felt responsible . what , you 're not going to take the check ? emma : no , not from him . meg : why ca n't you be happy for me ? emma : i am . i am happy . i 'm happy that your name has been cleared , and i 'm happy that you have an opportunity to make a good life for yourself . meg : my life is good because paul is in it . emma : i am sure , my dear meg , that emily said the same thing . and look at her now . [ scene_break ] paul : i 'm not here to see emily . i do n't ever need to see emily again . dusty : showing up in front of her room is just a coincidence , huh ? paul : so how 's jennifer ? how 's -- how 's johnny ? dusty : great , now that your crazy wife 's off the street . now we just got to get rid of you . paul : okay , look , i -- i love my sister . and i know , dusty , that you do , too . and i think it would mean a lot to her if you and i could just get along . dusty : well , that 's not gon na happen . paul : would it kill you to try ? dusty : yes . paul : i did n't have anything to do with your kidnapping . dusty : i 'm gon na do everything i can to show jen the truth about you . paul : hal . what 's the problem ? hal : read this . paul : this is emily 's chart . how 'd you get this ? hal : read it ! [ scene_break ] henry : and now , the moment we 've all been waiting for . mike , katie , who wants to go first ? mike : um -- there 's so much i want to say . and if this was a normal wedding , i would have been working on my vows for weeks . but given the lead time to this ceremony , we 're talking a few hours , so hopefully my words can do justice for what 's in my heart . i do n't know why i 'm worried . i mean , if i need an inspiration , all i need to do is look in your eyes . 'cause what i see there goes beyond what everybody else sees . it goes beyond the kind of beauty that i 've dreamt about my whole life . what i see is a courage and a strength -- and a stubbornness that 's gotten me through some tough times . you do n't give up , katie . you do n't know how . that is only one reason that i will love you until the day that i die . only you could wake me up at 3 : 00 in the morning and make me laugh . you are my light in the darkness , and you are my most loyal friend . and you will always and forever be my snow angel . katie : that was a magical night , was n't it ? but i think i fell in love with you long before that . i think i probably fell in love with you the day that my roof started leaking , and you came over to fix it . and i was panicking , and i did n't have any money , and you did n't care . i said that i would pay you by cooking for you , and you just said , `` sure . `` i mean , for all you knew , i could n't boil water , but you were just so kind and calm and comforting , and gorgeous . but you made me feel safe . you saved me . you made me feel like everything was gon na be okay . 'cause that 's what you do , mike -- you fix things . you make people feel like everything 's gon na be okay . and i want to do that for you , too . so let 's make a pact , okay ? we 'll do that for each other for the rest of our lives . henry : wow . if that 's what you got off the top of your heads , i can just imagine what you would have said if you had time to prepare . mike , as someone who has stood in your position before , let me just say -- mike : henry , henry , we got the church for an hour . that 's it . henry : right . right . so let 's just move this sucker along . break out the rings here . katie : thank you . henry : katie . katie : with this ring , i thee we d . mike : with this ring , i thee we d . henry : you guys are killing me , here . uh , let 's see if there 's anything else in here . yeah , yeah . katie : what ? henry : yeah , yeah . if there 's anyone stupid enough here who thinks there 's any reason why these two should not be joined , let them speak now or forever hold their peace . [ scene_break ] luke : dad went to grandpa cal 's house ? when ? faith : when he got the call . luke : wait , wait , what call ? faith : from jade . [ scene_break ] jade : you believe in me ? holden : yeah , of course i do . and instead of pining over luke , what you need to do is make plans for your future , decide what you want to do and just go for it . henry : and now , by the power vested in me , allow me to present to you , for the first time anywhere , mr. and mrs. michael kasnoff . you may kiss the bride , my friend . [ applause ] jack : i really wish i did n't have to do this . mike , you 're under arrest . [ scene_break ] emily : i can take anything that 's coming , but how am i gon na live without you , paul ? [ scene_break ] paul : is this -- is this true ? hal : i just got confirmation from the doctor . are you gon na pretend you do n't know ? paul : no , i -- i did n't , i swear . believe me , the last thing i expected was for emily to be pregnant . [ scene_break ] announcer : next week on `` as the world turns . `` maddie : do you ever think about how casey and gwen hooked up ? jack : we have a dna match . your dna is on the necklace buried with the corpse . meg : i do n't care what she told you , but there is no way she 's getting rid of your child . emily : i have to ask you , do you think i should keep this baby ?	luke is nervous about telling holden and lily that he is gay but remains determined to tell them the truth . jade is desperate not to get thrown out of the house once the truth comes out so she tells holden he is the reason she wants to stay and gives him a kiss . dusty vows to make jennifer see the truth about paul . mike and katie get married in a beautiful ceremony but as soon as t is over jack arrests mike for the murder of maya gold . paul and hal are shocked to discover that emily is pregnant .
katie : kim , hi ! kim : good morning . i 'm interrupting , as usual . katie : no , no . we were just having some breakfast . kim : oh . really ? what is that ? brad : a healthy and nutritious breakfast . vienna : it 's green . my god . and it has hair . [ laughter ] brad : no . that 's , uh -- that 's -- that 's sprouts . katie : no . oh , no , no , no . you are never going to the health - food store by yourself again . kim : well , you know , this is really -- this is really wonderful . you 're all working so hard together to bring this baby into the world . and actually , that kind of fits right in with my idea for a new segment for our reality show . vienna : oh , just tell me it 's not about health food . kim : oh , no , no , no . it 's about childbirth education . i want to shoot you all taking one of the classes at the hospital . vienna : oh , that could be fun . katie : yeah , definitely . kim : good . katie : by the time this baby is born , we 're gon na know everything there is to know about childbirth . brad : just as long as there 's no pop quizzes , count me in . get it , `` pop `` ? kim : never mind . i 'm gon na go then and set it up . uh , what about this afternoon ? how does that work for you ? vienna : no , no . henry 's working . katie : oh , that 's okay . we can do it without henry . [ scene_break ] bob : and , uh , a side of bacon , extra crispy . henry , did you get that ? henry : yes . wheat toast . wheat . got it . bob : is something wrong ? henry : no . uh , yeah , there is . can i -- can i ask you a question , as a doctor and as a father ? bob : well , you can ask . hopefully , one of us will give you an answer . henry : is there something wrong with someone who does n't want kids ? bob : as a doctor , medically , there 's nothing wrong . as a father , why do n't you sit down and tell me about it ? is there someone particular that you 're asking about ? henry : yeah , it 's me . is there something wrong with me ? [ bob laughs ] bob : well , that depends . why do n't you want to have children ? henry : it 's an intellectual decision . bob : oh , i see . you 're scared . henry : more like terrified . [ scene_break ] katie : brad and i and vienna will make great television all by ourselves . trust me . kim : okay , if that 's how you want it . katie : it is . kim : uh , okay . i 'll go to the studio and be ready for you . see you later . katie : see you later . vienna , i hope you understand . vienna : no , no , katie . i -- i do n't . why would you want to leave henry out in the dark like that ? katie : we 're just trying to think of what would make the best show . brad : i mean , it 's no offense . it 's just henry 's kind of -- he 's surplus to the baby - making enterprise . vienna : okay . i guess he 'll understand once i 'll explain it to him . katie : no , no ! do n't do that . vienna : why not ? katie : just better this way . vienna : no . katie , that -- that 's not good enough . i want to know why you want to keep henry out of this process . katie : okay , fine . i 'm worried . vienna : about what ? ! katie : that henry is getting too possessive of our baby . vienna : no , no , no , no . do n't be silly . katie : it 's true . sometimes i think henry has forgotten whose baby this really is . [ scene_break ] lily : i 'm so happy noah 's staying with us for a few days while he recuperates . holden : yeah , me too . you know what i was thinking ? i was thinking maybe -- maybe i could take the boys to a cubs game today . lily : do n't you think it 's too soon ? holden : no . doctor said that he can do normal activities . lily : yeah , but a baseball game can last for hours . i 'm worrying too much , are n't i ? holden : well , it 's not like he 's gon na be playing at a game . he 's gon na be sitting there . he 's gon na be watching it . and it will be a nice change of pace . plus it will give me a chance to spend some quality time with luke . lily : this is n't a competition , holden . holden : it is . it is competition . it 's a baseball game . lily : i 'm not talking about the game . you have nothing to prove . holden : and who do i have nothing to prove to ? lily : you have nothing to fear from damian . luke already knows what a loving father you are . holden : it 's a baseball game , lily . lily : right . and i 'm sure you and the boys will have a great time . holden : why do n't you join us , make it a foursome ? lily : ah ! as much fun as that sounds , i have a lot of work with the foundation to catch up on . holden : alone ? lily : that 's the plan . i 'll be there all day . i hope you and the boy have a good time . [ scene_break ] luke : well , the shoe is on the other foot now , mayer . you have to let me take care of you . noah : mm . i like the sound of that . [ luke laughs ] luke : down , boy . i was talking about like changing your bandages and stuff . noah : oh . i was thinking more along the lines of physical therapy . luke : huh . not on my parents ' porch . but do n't worry . soon , we are gon na have a place of our own . noah : wow . luke : yeah . `` wow . `` holden : hey , guys . [ luke chuckles ] luke : hey , dad . holden : noah . how are you feeling ? noah : great , all things considered . holden : think you guys might be up for a cubs game ? noah : yeah , sure . why not ? holden : i 'm gon na see if i can get three tickets . [ luke laughs ] noah : can your dad really get cubs tickets on such short notice ? luke : yeah . he and the ticket broker go way back . he can get tickets for the bears , the cubs , the bulls . pick your beast . noah : that 's so cool . your dad is so cool . you have two really great dads . [ scene_break ] lily : oh . i did n't expect to see you here . damian : did i startle you ? lily : i 'm okay . damian : uh , listen , i just -- i just thought that for me to be of any use to the foundation , i needed to know more about it . so i hope you do n't mind . lily : of course not . luke : i was just telling noah about all the great seats you used to get for us when i was a kid . holden : really ? um , unfortunately , i have bad news . the cubs are away . they 're playing in new york . they 're playing the mets . luke : oh . well , i guess some other time , then . holden : unless -- you know , there might be a way to make this work . if i can get lucinda 's jet , maybe we could get that and be in new york before the first inning . what do you think ? luke : all the way to new york ? i do n't know if noah 's up for it . noah : speak for yourself . are you kidding ? even i can be spontaneous for the cubs . luke : okay , okay , all right . then let 's go . [ scene_break ] damian : actually , i had a reason for wanting to review the foundation 's programs today . my friend , antoine laudel , has his own foundation which serves disabled children . i thought he might be interested in joining forces with luke . lily : that 'd be fantastic . luke 's wanted for a while to expand the outreach of the foundation . damian : i remember you saying that . so i contacted antoine . lily : and ? damian : and he 's in new york today on business , so i booked a flight to meet with him before he returns to paris . actually , i should be leaving very soon if i do n't want to miss my flight . lily : well , good luck . i hope the meeting 's a big success . damian : you mean that ? lily : of course i do . damian : well , then come to new york with me . lily : i do n't think me going to new york is a good idea . damian : why not ? it 's a quick flight . and the meeting itself wo n't be very long . i guarantee you 'll be back by dinnertime . lily : i 'd just be in the way . damian : believe me , you wo n't be in the way . antoine laudel has always had an eye for a beautiful woman . [ lily laughs ] lily : thanks for wanting me along for my business skills . damian : your beauty is only one of the many reasons why you should come . you know so many things i do n't -- the history of the foundation , all the programs . you can speak from the heart , cara , where i can only recite what i read . lily : i do n't know . damian : i really want to make this happen for luke 's sake . it could bring a much higher profile to the foundation . et tu parles françois , n'est - ce pas ? [ lily chuckles ] lily : my french is n't what it used to be , damian . i can still make myself understood . damian : what are we waiting for ? allons - y . lily : allons - y . [ scene_break ] katie : it 's just that henry was acting so weird when we were talking with that pediatric geneticist . brad : yeah , the shmeglitz guy . katie : and it 's not the first time that i 've gotten a really odd vibe from him when it comes to this baby ! vienna : well , brad 's probably right . it 's just normal anxiety . that 's all . brad : time . i mean , he probably just needs time . katie : well , good . that 's what we 're giving him . vienna : yes . katie : we 're gon na give him some time instead of insisting that he 's part of every little part of this process . vienna : right , right . but keeping him in the dark will only make it worse ! katie : we 'll tell him about the childbirth classes later . not today . today 's the first day , and i really want to enjoy it . and i 'm not gon na be able to do that if i 'm worried about henry . so please , just for today ? just this once . vienna : sure . whatever you want . it 's your baby . [ scene_break ] henry : i was a -- a father to my sisters , because my parents were either awol or crazy . and there was a lot of good times . i would n't have traded raising maddie for anything in the world . but most of all , it was a thankless job . and , uh , i did happen to raise a psycho killer . you remember eve ? so -- i think the world would be a better place if i just swore off fatherhood altogether . bob : what happened with eve would have happened no matter what you did . i know you love maddie . but having a child , whether it 's biological or adopted , is a lot different than taking care of younger siblings . it 's a different level of love . henry : but you still get the sorrow and the worry and the heartache , right ? bob : but i 'll tell you , when you hold your child and you look into those eyes , nothing will ever be the same again . it 's a profound experience -- maybe the most profound experience . be a shame if you missed out on that . henry : it 's obviously meant a lot to you . but i 'm not you . bob : listen , nothing says you ca n't be a good father if you want to be . it 's your choice . [ cell phone rings ] bob : that 's kim . i got to take it . henry : sure . bob : hello , there . kim : hello yourself . [ kim laughs ] kim : listen , sweetie . i 'm trying to schedule a childbirth class for brad , katie , and vienna this afternoon for a reality show . and i 'm wondering if you have a room here in the hospital that we might use . bob : uh , tell perri she can use room 302 . kim : fabulous . that 's a huge help , darling . bob : nice to have connections , huh ? i 'll see you later . well , henry , you 're really in a unique situation . [ henry chuckles ] henry : you bet i am . i mean what ? bob : well , you and vienna are going to have a dress rehearsal in parenthood without the obligation . henry : come again ? bob : well , kim just told me that vienna 's going to the hospital for a childbirth class . henry : when ? bob : later today , with katie and brad and one of our instructors . henry : really ? bob : yeah . henry : well , if they think they 're doing that without me , they 've got another thing coming . [ scene_break ] perri : hello , and welcome to the first in our series of childbirth classes . why do n't we begin with an easy question ? which one is the mother ? [ perri laughs ] perri : not such an easy question . katie : i 'm the mother . this is our dear friend vienna . she 's our surrogate . perri : oh . okay , vienna , why do n't you come and stand over here ? is this your first experience with childbirth ? vienna : yes , it is . perri : oh . well , many of the new mothers feel overwhelmed by the experience . it 's the lack of knowing what 's going to happen that causes the anxiety and the fears . vienna : oh , i 'm not afraid . katie : right . vienna and i have been reading up on all of this . oh , and we 've decided to do this completely naturally -- no medication . vienna : no , actually , we have n't really decided that yet . katie : yeah , we talked about that , the effect the medication can have on the baby . vienna : well , what about the affect it has on the mother ? a little bit of medication will take all the pain away . katie : but what about what 's good for the baby . brad : you know what ? you know what ? we can ask perri all that after class . and right now , she 's supposed to be running things , so why do n't we just let her run them ? perri : okay . well , the first thing we 're gon na start with is relaxation exercises . vienna , why do n't you lie down here on the floor ? vienna : okay . perri : i 'll get a pillow for you . okay . just relax your body . that 's it . let all of the tension go . vienna : oh , i do n't have any tension . perri : oh , well , maybe not right now , but when you do , these exercises are gon na come in very handy . now , brad and katie , why do n't you lie on either side of vienna . brad : okay . perri : i find that it 's very helpful for the coaches to share as many experiences as possible with the birth mother . katie : i think it makes sense for the mothers to lay next to each other , do n't you , perri ? perri : whatever you 're comfortable with . okay . now , let 's just all be silent . close your eyes . let 's listen to the rhythm of our breathing . on the count of three , we 're going to inhale . 1 , 2 , 3 . and on the count of three , exhale . 1 , 2 , and 3 . [ vienna exhales ] [ cell phone rings ] vienna : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i need to take this . i 'll be back breathing in a minute . [ vienna groans ] vienna : hello , henry . henry : hello , liebchen . what 's new ? vienna : you sound angry . henry : angry ? what should i have to be angry about ? it 's not like you and brad and katie are at a childbirth class that you did n't tell me about . vienna : i wanted to tell you , but they would n't let me . henry : clearly they let you have phone privileges . you could have called . vienna : yeah , well , you 're not missing out on anything . all we 're doing right now is learning how to breathe . henry : breathe ? that sounds -- that sounds really nice to me , because i feel like i have a giant stone sitting on my chest . actually , you know what ? its two stones shaped like katie and brad . how could they do this ? whose baby do they think this is ? vienna : they think it 's brad 's baby . and do n't you forget it ! [ scene_break ] damian : you were incredible . you completely blew antoine away . [ lily chuckles ] lily : you really think so ? damian : i know so ! it 's unusual for him to be so generous to a foundation as new as this one , and it 's all due to you . lily : well , thank you . but i got the feeling that mr. laudel was in debt to you in some way . did you do something for him in the past ? do i not want to know ? damian : i just let him in on a few good business opportunities . that 's all . nothing questionable . lily : i did n't mean to imply . i know you 've changed , damian . damian : if you trust that , then trust me now . we made a big impression on monsieur laudel . and you know why ? because we make a great team . that 's why . [ lily laughs ] [ scene_break ] vienna : ahh . oh , this is wonderful . but what does this have to do with giving birth ? perri : well , this is just one of many techniques that 's gon na help you to relax , both in pregnancy and during labor . you 're very lucky to have two coaches . for example , and this is something i normally would n't teach until the end of the third trimester , but it can give you a way of understanding how you can work together during the actual birth itself , okay ? now , um , vienna , lets have you lie down , just like this . and let 's bring your knees up . okay , just like this . now , katie , you 're gon na stay right there her head . and , brad , let 's position you right here . katie : there ? uh , really ? perri : now , katie , your job is going to be to count vienna 's breaths and make sure she 's breathing correctly . brad , you 're gon na offer encouraging words . you 're gon na support the doctor and just help vienna to relax . katie : yeah , i do n't know how relaxed i 'm gon na be with my husband looking , uh , you know -- [ vienna laughing ] vienna : i 'm never gon na get used to how prudish you americans are . i mean -- [ vienna stammers ] vienna : -- i could be laying here naked , and it would n't mean a thing to brad , would it ? brad : uh -- vienna : you see ? all he can see is the mother of his child , not a woman . perri : well , you 're right about one thing , vienna . your body is not gon na be viewed in a sensual way , because it 's doing a very important job . it is the gateway to parenthood . brad : okay . i 'll just hang out down here by vienna 's gateway . and , um , i 'm not exactly -- i 'm not exactly sure what -- perri : okay , now , lets just do a mock childbirth exercise , okay ? vienna , you start panting . katie , i want you to start counting her breaths . katie : 1 , 2 -- brad : okay , what am i supposed to do ? perri : you 're supposed to be offering encouraging words . it 's a very stressful time for the mother , and you 're gon na be giving vienna all the support you can . brad : okay , all right . okay , all right , all right . all right , vienna ! you can do it ! come on ! you can do this ! come on ! we 're going all the way with this here ! bring it home , baby ! kick that baby right through your gateway ! henry : hey , hey , hey , hey ! what are you doing to her ? ! [ scene_break ] luke : that was an awesome game . noah : yeah . you know , the best part for me was just seeing the city from the plane as we landed . luke : yeah . you got the skyline , statue of liberty -- the whole nine yards . noah : last time i was here was such a short time . was not the best time , either . luke : well , maybe we can replace some of those bad memories with some new , better ones . holden : maybe we can stick around for a few hours after we eat . anything else you guys want to do while we 're here ? noah : do we have time . holden : hey , we got lucinda 's jet . we can do anything we want to do . you know , there was this restaurant that your mother and i went to a couple of years ago . let me see if i can find it . i 'll call you guys and let you know where i am . speaking of which , i need to call your mother , let her know where we are . luke : okay , that sounds great . and -- and we 'll just meet you at the restaurant ? holden : sounds good . you guys take all the time you need , all right ?

[ crying stops ] henry : ah , you 're a genius ! katie : i knew you were the right man for the job . perri : one of the biggest controversies in the childcare community is whether or not you ever allow a baby to cry itself to sleep . brad : well , it 's got to man up sometime , right ? katie : do you hear yourself half the time ? you 're only saying that because you can sleep through anything . brad : well , i mean , if you think i 'm gon na wake up every time little brad or bradette cries , i mean , no way . perri : as you can see , problems that were academic before the baby was born are anything but when the time comes ? vienna : like if the mother should take pain medication during labor ? katie : we 'll talk about that later . henry , give me my botbaby . henry ? where is he ?

[ kim laughs ] bob : lisa told me that she was pregnant with tom , i was scared out of my wits . kim : yes , but , i mean , that had more to do with what was going on with lisa . that did n't have anything to do with tom , right ? bob : i guess you 're right . but then again , things all managed to work out . kim : yeah , they certainly did with tom . let 's hope we 're as lucky with chris . it 's never been easy sliding with him . bob : mm , certainly not recently . but he knows we both love him , and that 's all we can do right now . kim : mm . bob : ooh ! what did i do to deserve that ?

[ hal sighs ] we do our jobs . we have to protect the women in our lives . jack : we ca n't lose control of this investigation . hal : you know , it sounds to me that without a statement from henry coleman , there really is no investigation . just speculation . jack : right . things happen all the time . it 's unavoidable . hal : part of life . jack : for instance , i can think of a half dozen reasons why henry would never come down here to give us a statement . hal : well , whatever happens to that guy , i sure hope it happens fast . jack : i 'll check you later .

[ scene_break ] lucinda : well , personally , myself , i liked it better when luke hated damian . and lily , too . holden : yeah . so did i . but he 's made this effort to prove himself , so i got to give credit where credit is due . lucinda : be careful . holden : oh , i will . lily : holden . lucinda : hey . holden : hey . lily : what are you doing here ? holden : i came to pick these up for you . your mother called me , so i decided to save you a trip . lily : aww ! that 's so sweet of you . mm . mother , how are you feeling ? lucinda : i 'm here . i did n't expect you to come in . lily : well , i had to see damian . the boys want to set up a cruise program for sick children , and i asked him about using a grimaldi ship . holden : why did n't luke do it ? lily : he felt uncomfortable . lucinda : but -- you did n't ? lily : why would n't i ? it 's foundation business . holden : what did he say ? lily : they do n't have a ship that they could use . i just called luke and broke the news . holden : you do n't believe him ? lily : why would he lie about something like that ? lucinda : because he 's damian . holden : you think something else might be going on ? lily : i did n't say that . holden : you know people in the shipping industry . why do n't you check it out ? lucinda : oh , good idea ! lily : bad idea . and i want you both to forget you ever even suggested it .

[ next_on ] damian : the next time either of you is caught trespassing , i 'll have you arrested . holden : where do you get off ordering us around ? lucinda : no , do n't , do n't ! lucy : if you 're going to arrest somebody , arrest me . craig : i 'll never forgive you for that , lucy . i never want to see you again . dusty : get your hands off me , would you ?	noah has an idea about handicapped kids ' camp . luke expands on it and suggests a cruise . lily even offers that damian might loan them a yacht from his shipping business . damian is delighted to help . but not with a ship , rather a dude ranch that can be made available . holden speaks with lucinda to try and get her to call off her dogs where damian is concerned and accept him and his good intentions for luke 's sake . holden follows lucinda to the docks where she is snooping and they have a gun pulled on them . when they insist on seeing the boss , damian shows up .
carly : parker , what are you doing here ? parker : i 'm looking for dad . i just want to make sure that craig 's still locked up . carly : i told you -- they arrested him last night . everything is under control . you should stay as far away from here as possible . parker : how do you know that it 's under control ? have you talked to craig ? do you know what 's he saying ? carly : [ sighs ] well , he 's trying to make excuses . but your father has evidence that he stole the money from your trust fund . parker : does he have evidence that he started the fire ? carly : i 'm sure your dad 's on top of everything . you should n't be here . parker : craig 's going to deny that he knew that gabriel was in that building , and he 's going to deny that he attacked him . what if dad believes him ? carly : parker , at this point , nobody is going to believe a word that man says . parker : even if it 's the truth ? carly : hey , do n't worry , okay ? you 're safe , as long as you keep your head clear and your mouth shut . [ scene_break ] jack : what are you doing here ? and why are n't you in cuffs ? craig : you did n't hear ? i made bail . [ scene_break ] dusty : so the money was transferred into janet 's account , no problem ? thanks , eduardo . thanks for handling things so quickly . i appreciate it . buddy , how you doing ? we got all afternoon , no school . how lucky are you ? johnny : can we see my other dad ? dusty : maybe later . we 'll see him soon . johnny : then can we go to the park ? dusty : done . let 's go . janet : well . [ sighs ] look who it is -- the handsomest guy i know , and he 's with dusty . dusty : say `` hi `` to janet . johnny : hi , janet . dusty : how you doing ? janet : i 'm good . i 'm -- i 'm tired , but i 'm good . dusty : you 're not going to work , are you ? you worked all night , did n't you ? janet : i did , but now i 'm going to see a man about an apartment , and this is the only time the landlord could fit me in , so -- dusty : a new apartment , huh ? janet : yeah . dusty : you okay -- i mean , financially and otherwise ? 'cause my offer still stands . all my offers do . janet : thanks , but uh , my dad actually left me some money . dusty : really ? janet : yeah . a blessing and a surprise . dusty : that 's good , if it 's what you want . janet : it is .

[ scene_break ] lily : i just got off the phone with the hospital . there 's still no change . gabriel still has n't regained consciousness . [ sighs ] i could n't sleep at all last night . lucinda : you need to stop feeling so guilty , darling . you 're not responsible for what happened . lily : no ? if we 'd never kept the truth about gabriel from craig , none of this would have happened . craig would have known that gabriel was his son from the start . lucinda : the choice was made 20 years ago to protect gabriel from his father , and i still stand by it . and -- [ chuckles ] from what has transpired in the short time that they 've known each other , we did the right thing . lily : did we ? lucinda : it 's too late for regrets . what 's done is done . lily : i 'm sorry . i ca n't be as cold and pragmatic about this as you can .

[ scene_break ] jack : bail 's temporary . it does n't mean you 're off the hook , and it sure as hell does n't mean you 're innocent . craig : but there 's degrees of guilty , jack . i - i never meant to steal from parker . i borrowed that money to get monte carlo going for carly . i always intended to put the money back . jack : but you did n't . craig : that 's because ellis , my snake of an accountant , stole it . jack : how does that make the situation any better for my son ? his financial future is wiped out because of you . and there 's a kid in the hospital fighting for his life ! craig : i did n't start that fire . jack : right . craig : i swear to you , jack , if i knew gabriel was in there , i would have gone in after him myself ! what kind of monster would do that to -- ? jack : do that to -- craig : to anybody . to anybody . i 'm guilty of a lot of things , jack , but not that . jack : you almost sound sincere . craig : i am . i do n't like gabriel , but i would -- i would never hurt him like that -- ever . jack : what about you , carly ? you know craig better than anybody . do you think he 's telling the truth ? craig : you know me , carly . i 'm a lot of things . carly : you certainly are -- a thief , a liar , a hypocrite , and apparently , an arsonist . craig : i did n't start that fire . i 'm not a killer . carly : are you kidding ? when you 're desperate , you 're capable of anything . you put a bomb in paul 's car when he took over worldwide . you ran rosanna off the road to shut her up when she found out you switched gwen and jennifer 's babies . craig : i 'm a different man now . carly : no , you 're not . to answer your question , jack , i do n't think craig 's got a sincere bone in his body . whoever paid your bail ought to have their head examined , and they should certainly lock up their children . craig : well , i 'm sorry you feel that way . i would have thought -- carly : what ? craig : nothing . never mind . i 'll take that as my cue to leave . carly : good . go . get out of my sight . jack : do n't even think about skipping town because wherever you go , however long it takes , i will find you . craig : i 'm not going anywhere . i 'm going to stay and face the music . and i 'll prove that i had nothing to do with what happened to gabriel , however long that takes . jack : got to hand it to him -- he 's good . he almost had me believing him . carly : well , do n't . craig will say anything right now to save his hide . jack : what 's weird is that he 's willing to cop to stealing parker 's money , but not to what happened to caras . carly : well , that 's the trick , is n't it ? he admits to the -- the lesser crimes and pleads innocent to the zinger . jack : maybe . carly : come on , jack . you 're smarter than that . do n't let him fool you . [ jack sighs ] carly : hey . jack : hmm ? carly : you look exhausted , baby . you 've been here most of the night . why do n't we go home ? we could have something to eat and have a little rest . jack : that sounds good . carly : and , uh , we could use some alone time . jack : listen , i 've got so many things i 've got to take care of here . i got to look over the report from the -- the arson investigation . i got to call the bank reps about parker 's money . carly : hey , they 'll -- they 'll all be here in a couple of hours . come on . what good are you going to be to anyone if you 're wiped out ? jack : true . carly : plus , i need you . jack : do you , now ? carly : yeah , bad . we have n't had any time together since you got back from rocco 's funeral . please ? [ scene_break ] janet : so , how long are they going to keep craig ? dusty : it depends if he makes bail . janet : well , in the meantime , do you need some help with johnny ? dusty : no . janet : you sure ? dusty : yeah , i got it covered . you got your own stuff to worry about . janet : oh , come on . i 've been known to juggle more than one thing at a time . dusty : you do n't have to , not now , but the offer is appreciated . janet : so is your understanding . thanks for not pushing . dusty : you need space . i get it . janet : thanks . dusty : so , tell me about this place of yours . janet : it 's -- it 's really cute . it 's a 3-bedroom walk - up , over by the lake , and it needs a little tlc , but the appliances are fairly new , and the rent 's cheap . so , there you go . dusty : it sounds great . johnny : when can i see it ? dusty : well , who knows ? got to ask janet . janet : you are welcome anytime -- both of you .

[ scoffs ] i ca n't even imagine what 's going through his mind right now . holden : well , i 'm not too worried about what he 's thinking . i 'm more worried about what he might do . thank god he 's in prison . i do n't want him anywhere near you or the kids . lily : do you think all of this would have played out differently if he 'd known the truth from the beginning ? holden : you know what ? i would n't even go there . lily : but i feel so guilty . holden : it happened a long time ago . you , sierra , your mother -- you guys did what you thought you had to do . lily : you sound like my mother . holden : and i think maybe you should listen to her for once . lily : maybe . but i still feel like i should do something now . holden : what are you going to do ? lily : i do n't know , but i ca n't pretend that i 'm not involved . holden : i - i think you need to do exactly that -- stay out of it . lily : it 's not that easy , holden . holden : it 's not about what 's easy . it 's about what 's right for our family . lily : i 'm sorry my mother dragged you into this mess . it 's not something you should be worried about . holden : no , i 'm glad she told me , especially after the way craig came after her . the guy 's a loose cannon right now . lily : [ sighs ] not if he 's behind bars . holden : well , even if he is , we ca n't let our guard down . i 'm going to go talk to jack , see what 's going on . lily : that 's a good idea . holden : promise me one thing . lily : what ? holden : if anything happens , anything out of the ordinary , call me . lily : i will . and thank you . i do feel safer knowing that you 're close by .

luke : i ca n't believe this . why is dad going after damian ? lily : he thinks there 's something strange going on with the grimaldi shipping business . luke : because damian wo n't let us use one of their ships ? [ lily sighs ] lily : i do n't understand it either , but your grandmother was determined to go down there and investigate . luke : is she crazy ? going down to the docks by herself ? lily : yes ! which is why i sent your father down there to get her and bring her home . noah : i do n't know what she was expecting to find . damian has been nothing but helpful when it comes to the foundation . luke : yeah . thanks to him , some very sick kids are gon na get the best vacation of their lives . lily : this family has a long history with damian . it 's not so easy to overcome hostility that was once completely justifiable . luke : i know . i do n't want to trust damian , either . but he saved noah 's life . noah : people can change . it sure looks like damian has . lily : i think so , too . but i do n't know what it 's gon na take to make holden and my mother see damian the way we do . [ scene_break ] damian : holden , lucinda , what in the world is going on here ? lucinda : damian . that 's what we want to know . holden : yeah . we were just taking a walk along the docks when your hit man here came after us . damian : he 's a security guard . he 's not a hit man . holden : could have fooled me . damian : we 're running a shipping business here , not a tourist attraction . you 're not supposed to be in this area unless you have official business . holden : so wait , what are you saying ? that we broke the law ? because the last time i looked , the docks were public property . [ lucinda laughs ] lucinda : and we were n't doing anything wrong . and the question is , can we say the same about you ? damian : what are you trying to say ? holden : she thinks you 're up to something . and so do i . [ damian chuckles ] damian : that 's ridiculous . what exactly would i have done wrong ? holden : i do n't know . why do n't you tell us ? damian : you were detained because there was a murder on the docks not long ago . now , i 'm sure you understand why security has to be increased . our guard here had no way of knowing you two are family . lucinda : well -- dragging us off at gunpoint -- that -- that is n't routine . and accusing us of spying -- i mean , what -- what could we possibly have seen unless there 's something shady . damian : i guarantee you there 's nothing shady here . a shipping fleet needs protection . that 's what our security personnel is trained to do . now , i am sure you two meant no harm , so why do n't we just pretend this never happened ? you 're free to go . holden : are you kidding me ? we 're not going anywhere -- not until we get some answers .

[ scene_break ] holden : why do n't you just tell us what 's really going on here , damian ? you 've got armed guards patrolling the docks . i 'd say that your ships are carrying something you do n't want anyone to know about . damian : grimaldi shipping is my business , holden . i do n't have to answer to you . lucinda : just one more proof that something 's going on . damian : that 's not true . that 's not true . in fact , it 's just the opposite . but no matter what i do , you two will never believe i 've changed . holden : why should we ? damian : ever since i got back to oakdale , i 've done my best to convince luke and the rest of his family that i 'm not the same man i used to be . but it seems no matter what i do , nothing will convince you . holden : no , no . it matters . it matters that you saved luke and noah . and i 'm very grateful for that . but if it were n't for you , they would n't have been in danger in the first place . damian : what do you want me to say ? lucinda : why do n't you tell us ? why do n't you say why you declined the offer of one of your ships to help the foundation when you believe so much in the foundation ? damian : we had nothing available . holden : oh , come on ! that 's bull . damian : why would i lie about that , holden ? i love my son . for the first time , he 's beginning to believe in me . do you think i would willingly jeopardize that ? holden : maybe you want it both ways . you want luke 's trust , but behind his back , it 's business as usual . damian : keep deluding yourself , holden . just do n't waste my time . you keep away from my property . the next time either of you is caught trespassing , i 'll have you arrested . now get out . holden : where do you get off ordering us around ? lucinda : we do n't want any bloodshed . look , i -- if damian wo n't be honest with us , let 's just go . let 's go . go . [ scene_break ] jack : this is lucy montgomery 's statement for the record . dusty : she should n't be doing this without her lawyer . lucy : it 's all right . i waived my right to an attorney . craig : for once , i agree with dusty . lucy , do n't do this . jack : will you quiet down , please , and just let her talk ? lucy : i was using my father 's vodka shipments to send supplies to east africa . jack : so you admit to being involved in smuggling illegal goods ? lucy : yes . the u.s. government issued an embargo , but i had friends who were in the war zone , and they desperately needed help , so i was sending medical supplies whenever i could to be used in the refugee camps . jack : and when i saw you on the -- the dock that day , you said you were going for a walk . what were you really doing ? lucy : i was checking on a shipment . jack : apart from the medical supplies , were you also sending guns ? lucy : no , no . i had nothing to do with that . we were trying to save people , not kill them . cesar was helping me . jack : by cesar , you mean cesar mendoza , the murder victim ? lucy : yes . yes . he called as soon as he saw the goods . jack : where were they being sent from ? lucy : there was a man who was pressuring us for more money . we could n't afford to pay him , so -- he decided to make his profit by smuggling guns . jack : so you did know about the guns ? lucy : no , no . i swear , we did n't know anything about the guns . as soon as they were found , cesar was ordered to take them off the crates and dispose of them . i assume that 's what he was doing when he was -- killed . craig : why did n't you say anything about this before ? jack : do you have any idea who killed cesar mendoza ? lucy : if i had to guess , i would say it was the man who was smuggling the guns . his name is fredo . jack : fredo ? that 's it ? nothing else ? no last name ? lucy : i do n't know anything else about him , just -- just the name . jack : what about you , dusty ? anything else to add to this ? dusty : i 've got nothing to add , jack . lucy : because he had nothing to do with this , and neither did my father . i was the only one in on this . cesar was my contact . i 'm heartbroken that he was killed . jack : by fredo ? lucy : i was n't there , but -- i ca n't know for sure . jack : that 's all you have to say ? lucy : that 's all i know . jack : well unfortunately , does n't give us much to go on . lucy : i told you everything i could ! jack : no last name for fredo . no confirmation that he was the one who killed cesar mendoza . so wh -- what am i supposed to do with all this incomplete information , lucy ? lucy : you can let my father go .

[ scene_break ] will : excuse me , i think i left my backpack here yesterday . waitress : we have a lost and found in the manager 's office . i 'll look soon as soon as i get a sec . will : okay . i left my phone in it , so i 'm kind of panicking right now , you know ? waitress : i 'd die if i lost my phone . what can i get you while you wait ? will : a piece of pie and a coffee with cream , no sugar . thanks . maddie : hey , great minds think alike , huh ? will : you lost your backpack ? maddie : no , of course not . i 'm here trying to keep myself occupied while gwen and casey are out of town . will : what are you talking about ? maddie : the acid rain concert tour in chicago ? will : they 're in chicago ? maddie : yeah . they 're checking out new acts for the club . did n't gwen tell you ? [ scene_break ] meg : no , that 's not possible . emily ca n't be pregnant . susan : oh , i saw the chart . i spoke to her doctor . she 's pregnant . which is pretty remarkable considering her fall from the cliff . meg : she did n't fall , susan , she jumped . how far along is she ? susan : the doctor 's assuming that emily got pregnant during the -- i guess you 'd call it their honeymoon . paul got released from prison and i guess -- meg : yeah , i get the picture . susan : they are married , meg . meg : i have to go . [ scene_break ] emily : go away . you got what you wanted . paul : em , this is not -- emily : do n't call me that . i 'm not going through with the pregnancy . we 'll pretend it never happened , like we never met [ scene_break ] mike : thank you for doing the processing yourself instead of kicking me over to a uniform . mike : the evidence , i know . jack : right . mike : i 'm just worried about katie . jack : she 'll be okay . mike : it 's her wedding day . it 's supposed to be the happiest day of her life and i 've ruined it . jack : oh , i think right about now she 's blaming me . mike : we 're grateful to you . you waited till after the ceremony . at least she had that . jack : she 's handling herself pretty well , all things considered . mike : because that 's what she wants you to think . underneath ? i know her , she is a mess . jack : look , mike -- mike : no , no , man . look , i 'm sorry . i 'm not trying to make you feel guilty , but you 're my friend . if i do n't talk to somebody about this , i 'm going to put my head through that wall . jack : okay , look , if there 's one thing i 've learned in the past few months , it 's `` when in doubt , i 've got to follow procedure . `` that 's why you 're here . but off the record , i really hope there 's something i 'm missing . because between you and me ? this stinks . [ scene_break ] nick : how did mike seem when he went down to the station ? katie : it 's probably good you were n't there . it was pretty bad . i left . i know mike did n't want me to see him getting fingerprinted . it 's pretty humiliating . nick : they booked him ? they had no real evidence . i mean , this was all circumstantial . they have nothing tying him to that body . katie : yes , they do . they found mike 's st. christopher medal buried in the same wall with the body . nick : no , that 's not possible . [ scene_break ] maddie : you going to eat that ? will : no . so how come everybody knew about this chicago trip except for me ? maddie : everybody ? will : you , my mother . maddie : yeah , well , your mother knew because she got the tickets . and the only reason why i knew is because i talked to casey before he was leaving . will : and was gwen there ? maddie : no , she came down after he called her . but you know what ? she was n't too keen about the idea . something , i think , because your mother was involved . i do n't know . will : so that 's probably why she did n't tell me ? maddie : i left before she made up her mind . listen , are you sure she did n't leave you any messages ? will : i kind of lost my phone . maddie : wait a minute , you 're getting all bent out of shape about gwen not calling you and you have n't even checked your messages ? [ scene_break ] gwen : okay , his voice mail is full and my battery 's dying . casey : you have enough juice left to text him ? works like a charm . i text my parents , cover my butt and the best part is , i do n't have to hear it . no guilt . gwen : will 's not going to make me feel guilty . casey : you already feel guilty . gwen : no , i feel bad for not letting him know where i am , because i know that he 's probably worried about me . casey : so you 're saying you trust each other . gwen : yeah , we do . casey : so then what 's the problem ? you trust him , he trusts you . gwen : you know will , he does n't need the added stress . casey : all right , look . i saw the way he looked at you when you were on that stage . he 's so gone for you , it 's sickening . you are the last person who needs to be stressing right now . [ scene_break ] waitress : this it ? will : yeah . thank you so much . maddie : any messages ? will : yeah , there 's a few of them and they 're all from gwen . one text message . maddie : see ? i told you not to worry . so how 'd you do on that bio exam ? will : i blew it off . maddie : what ? you blew it off ? will , will -- hello , will ? that 's like half your grade . if you do n't pass bio , you ca n't graduate . will : okay , i 'll make it up . maddie : what 's she saying ? will : all the messages are from before the concert . maddie : so . maybe she -- maybe the concert is n't over yet . is that why you did n't take that exam ? because you 're worried about gwen and casey ? will : you know , she could 've told me she was thinking about going . she did n't have to wait till she was already on the bus to call me . [ scene_break ] [ meg screaming ] [ clatter ] [ meg crying ] [ scene_break ] paul : look , i know that this was a difficult decision for you and you 're in a lot pain , and you 're probably -- you probably feel pretty lousy . so i 'm not going anywhere . i 'm going to stay right here until you 're done with the procedure and i know that you 're feeling better . emily : do n't do me any favors . paul : i 'm not doing you any favors , em . this is my responsibility . emily : i do n't want to be your responsibility . i thought you got that . we 're over . you 've moved on to meg . go . i do n't want to keep you from her . paul : you 're angry . emily : you know , i used to think if you could read my moods , it meant you loved me . but if there 's one thing i can say about jumping off a cliff and somehow surviving , it 's that you ca n't lie to yourself . you do n't love me . and whether you ever did or how much does n't matter anymore . you do n't love me , so just -- you should go . i do n't want to argue anymore , okay ? i do n't have the strength to argue . paul : i 'm not going to argue with you , all right ? let me stay here . come on , i 'll sit over there . i 'll take care of all your paperwork . make sure you get home . emily : oh , paul ryan , saint . paul : hardly . emily : but it would make you feel better , would n't it ? to feel like you were helping me ? paul : yeah , it would . emily : get out . if you think i 'm going to let you use me so you can feel better , get out . so you can go around town telling everybody you held my hand ? you helped me through it ? get out ! paul : look , if you need anything -- emily : i wo n't call you . [ emily crying ] [ scene_break ] margo : hi , baby . katie : i 'm so glad you 're here . margo : oh , it 's going to be okay . nick : you going to be here for a while , margo ? i got to run some errands and i do n't want katie to be alone . margo : well , you know , i just called the desk and they 're still processing mike . he 's not going to be arraigned until tomorrow morning , so whatever things you have to do , just stay out of jack 's way , okay ? nick : mike did n't do this . but thanks for the advice . [ scene_break ] gwen : so we give them a tuesday slot . we make tuesdays the night that we showcase anything that we ca n't fit in a box . it 's not rock , it 's not folk , it 's not jazz . casey : it 's not music ? gwen : i thought they were cool . casey : okay , fine . you know what ? you can call their manager , but make it fast because the last bus leaves in an hour . gwen : you sure ? casey : yeah , i 'm sure . gwen : i just want to get home . casey : fine , you know what , you want me to check it again ? i 'll check it again . is today wednesday ? gwen : yeah , all day . why ? oh , no . casey : yeah . [ scene_break ] maddie : you saw the kind of talent that auditioned in oakdale . they had to go to chicago . it 's their job . if you 're so worried about it , just call her . will : she 's not picking up . [ phone rings ] maddie : it 's casey . hey . how was the concert ? casey : so cool . we got to sit with all these agents and managers and you would not believe how many of them want to do deals with us . maddie : well , of course they want to do deals with you , you 're repping the hottest club . casey : i wish you could 've been there , mad , it was hoppin ' . you would 've loved it . maddie : next time . casey : you 've got to come . we 'll have a blast . hey , can you do me a favor ? gwen 's been trying to reach will . maddie : he 's right here . casey : could you put him on ? because her cell died and she really wants to talk to him . maddie : your wife 's cell died . she wants to talk to you . will : hey . gwen : did you get my messages ? will : yeah . gwen : i tried to reach you . will : yeah , you said . gwen : it was all so last - minute . you know , we did n't even know if we could get tickets . i did n't even know if i was going . will : whatever . gwen : the thing is , we missed the last bus . so i wo n't be home tonight . [ scene_break ] susan : how you feeling ? i saw paul leave . emily : yeah , do n't worry , he 's not coming back . i threw him out . susan : oh . i think that 's progress . i do . now you can focus on your own recovery . yourself . because that man is a big distraction . emily : it 's over , even i can see that , mom . susan : i know you had hopes for something wonderful . emily : yeah . i always do . susan : what about the baby ? emily : the baby wo n't be happening . i 've decided not to have it . susan : was that his idea ? emily : oh , no . paul 's too smooth for that . he pointed out that it would n't be fair to the baby . his mom 's going away for 25 to life . no , he left it up to me . oh , but he did -- he offered to take care of all the paperwork and drive me home when it was all over . of course , i 'm not going home , am i ? i 'm going to be carted off to jail . susan : oh , sweetie . emily : after i 've stopped bleeding and they 've got me hopped up on antidepressants . susan : i 'm so sorry . emily : do n't . do n't act like you 're not pleased . you did n't want me to have this baby . admit it . [ scene_break ] paul : meg , are you all right ? meg : do i look okay ? paul : what happened ? meg : you happened , paul ! you know , i should 've listened to my mother , to everybody . even emily warned me not to get next to you . paul : what are you talking about ? you just called me . you left this really sweet message . we were going to have dinner . meg : you want dinner ? well , it 's on the floor . paul : i do n't understand . what changed ? meg : let 's ask emily , shall we ? paul : that 's over . meg : it 's not over . not now . you know , i ca n't believe i let you do this to me ! first dusty , and now you . paul : but what have i -- i do n't know what i 've done , okay ? meg : you made me trust you , okay ? i even stood there and watched you marry her in a jail cell . paul : i had to . meg : you know , i do n't want to hear it , okay ? i bought it . i bought it ! and when you had to sleep with her for 18 reasons , i bought that , too ! and then i had to watch you bring her back from the dead . paul : what was i supposed to do ? just sit there , watch her die ? meg : no , no , of course not . she is the mother of your child . paul : oh , meg , i 'm so sorry . i am . i 'm sorry . i really wanted you to hear that from me . meg : and that would have been so much better . paul : i just found out . emily just found out . they figured it out . it was a routine blood work up . meg : you knew you 'd be sleeping with her . we talked about it . and you did n't use protection ? paul : it was that one time and -- yeah . meg : are you 16 ? that 's all it takes , paul ! paul : you 're upset . i 'm upset . but i talked to emily . it 's really -- it 's gon na be okay . meg : you do n't get it , do you ? she will never be out of our lives ! and i ca n't take it . i wo n't . paul : she 's not keeping the baby . she 's in no condition to carry a pregnancy to term . she 's going to prison . so she decided that terminating the pregnancy was the only sensible solution . [ meg laughs ] meg : emily ? sensible ? yeah , i do n't care what she told you , but there is no way she 's getting rid of your child . [ scene_break ] announcer : coming up on `` as the world turns `` -- paul : we 'll go through with this abortion . meg : and you 're okay with that ? emily : i could use a good friend right now . maddie : do you ever think about how casey and gwen hooked up ? [ scene_break ] margo : all right , well , should we start by putting the decorations away or maybe we should do the food first -- oh , well , okay , you 're not okay with that , that 's fine . you do n't have to do anything , it 's all right . it 's all right . katie : there 's no way mike hurt that girl . this is the same man who traveled across the world to make sure that i was safe . the same man who jumped into an icy pond to save my rabbit . he 's the kindest , gentlest , most honest man i 've ever met . i do n't care what kind of evidence they have , it does n't prove anything . mike did not kill that woman . margo : well , baby , i do n't think so , either . but none the less , a woman has been killed and they do have to investigate . i , for one , have faith in the system . i have faith in jack . and i know that mike will be exonerated . and you know this to be true . katie : i do . margo : oh , yes , yes , it 's absolutely true . okay , so let 's start by putting the food away . and ms. havesham , do you want to get out of the wedding dress ? katie : yeah . some reception , huh ? the bride sitting around holding hands with the matron of honor . you 're gon na come back to me . [ scene_break ] gwen : so next time , you have to come -- you and maddie . you okay ? will : yeah . gwen : i 'm sorry that we did n't connect before i left . will : yeah , me too . gwen : so i 'll see you tomorrow ? there 's a bus here that leaves here at like 5 : 00 , i think . and casey 's eaten his way through half the menu , so that leaves us like seven bucks to hold us out till then . so maybe we can meet for breakfast ? will : yeah , whatever you want . gwen : i 'll see you tomorrow . casey : what 's wrong ? gwen : will 's doing that thing where he says everything 's fine , but it 's not . casey : that 's just will . he 's got to stew for a while before he lets go of it . he 'll be fine . [ scene_break ] maddie : sounds like they had fun . will : yeah . you want another cup of coffee ? maddie : sure . thanks . susan : and if , in the future , you want to have more children -- i think that would be wonderful . but right now , frankly , with your injuries and with the way you 're feeling , i do n't know if you could carry a baby to term . and then there are the legal problems , you 'll probably have to serve time . you 're in no position to , uh -- to become a parent . emily : i 'm already a parent . i know what it takes . susan : right . so then you know this is not the time . and obviously , you 've already realized that . and i am glad about that . because it proves to me that you 're not that focused on paul anymore and that you 're willing to put yourself and your recovery first . emily : look , i 'm not saying everything you 're saying does n't make sense -- it does . but the reason i 'm having this abortion ? it 's because of paul . [ scene_break ] paul : look , emily is in no condition to have a baby with anybody . especially me . she 's furious with me . she gave me back her wedding ring . meg : oh , nice touch . paul : i 'm just saying , i really think that everything is going to be okay . meg : if there 's anything i 've learned in the last couple months it 's that trusting emily is a very bad idea . paul : no , but you did n't talk to her , okay ? this pregnancy has been a wake - up call for her . i really think that she 's rational now for the first time in months . something has clicked and she finally gets it that it 's over . meg : you know , i want to believe that . i really do . and even if she means it and she 's not snowing you ? it does n't mean that she wo n't turn around and change her mind last minute . paul : no , i do n't think so . she 's going to jail , she knows that . she knows that she has no possibility of having any kind of relationship with this child . meg : she 's not thinking about the child , paul . she 's thinking about you ! paul : the one person in this world that emily truly loves is daniel . and she knows how much she 's botched up that relationship . she 's not going to run the risk of harming another child in this world just to get at me . emily will go through with this abortion . meg : and you 're okay with that ? i mean , this is your child , too . your first . [ scene_break ] jack : just so we 're clear , i am officially asking you to butt out . no talking to mike . nick : he 's my cousin . jack : he 's in custody . nick : yes , sir . [ scene_break ] margo : honey , come on , it 's going to be okay . katie : i know . i was doing okay until i put on his pajamas . they smell like him . and he 's not here . margo : oh , baby , he 's going to be arraigned tomorrow . in the morning . you 'll post bail and he 'll be home by lunch . katie : you promise ? margo : i promise , that 's the way it works . you want me to call tom ? i can stay here tonight . katie : no , no . god , i 'll be fine . nick 's going to be home soon . until then , i 'll just cuddle up with snickers and watch tv . margo : okay . [ cell phone ringing ] oh , kids . you know what ? when you have kids -- and you will have kids -- do n't make the mistakes i 've made . katie : what , you 're a perfect mother . margo : yes , i am perfect . i can text like a teenager . katie : cue ? margo : no , no . c - u. `` c u in the a.m. , mom . spending p.m. in chicago . `` and then if i try to call casey back ? his phone will be turned off . katie : that is really smart . margo : yeah , he 's a little too smart for his own good . you know , he 's very lucky that i 'm here taking care of you , because if not i 'd call my friend dexter jones of the chicago pdd and i 'd have him dragged in . katie : absent without leave . margo : that 's my boy . okay , listen , i left some endive and carrots out on the counter for snickers . katie : oh , he loves endive . margo : yes , i know . why do n't you and mike plant some endive for him this summer ? he 's going to be home , okay ? katie : thank you . once again . margo : love you . katie : love you , too . [ scene_break ] gwen : hey . casey : hey . gwen : hey , next time we do this , we have to bring maddie and will . 'cause i miss him . casey : you 're so married . gwen : well , marrying will was the best thing that 's ever happened to me . casey : i 'm not saying it 's not , it 's just -- i 'm not there yet . i mean , i 'm probably not going to get married until i 'm like 40 -- so , just thinking about it . i could n't do it . gwen : it 's worth it . it 's great , you know ? you get to be with your best friend . casey : sleep with him , you mean ? gwen : okay , it 's more than that . you know , they 're -- they 're your family . you can depend on them . they 're your future -- they 're in every plan that you will ever make . which is the best feeling that i 've ever had . because i know that i 've got just as much stuff as he does . and when he 's down , i 'm up . and when i 'm down , he 's right there , pulling me back . we take care of each other . it 's really good . casey : so what 're you worried about ? [ scene_break ] susan : if you had this baby , you 'd probably be separated from it . as it is , tom and margo are raising daniel . emily : that 's why i have to do this . do n't you understand ? i can not let my child be raised by paul and meg . i ca n't let that happen . susan : you 're right , you 're right . the only thing that matters is that you 've made the right decision . i 'll -- i 'll talk to dr. schiller and i 'll set the procedure for tomorrow . you try and get some rest . oh , henry , how nice of you to bring flowers . that 's very thoughtful . henry : well , emily and i have close ties . hey , blondie . why so low , huh ? emily : you want a list ? the flowers are beautiful . where 'd you get them ? they almost make you look sincere . henry : i am sincere . sincerely in need of money . emily : no , what you 're in need of is a 12 step program to gambler 's anonymous . henry : no , this is not about my gambling debts , emily . this is about bailing out some friends . emily : i thought i was your felon friend . henry : you 're my favorite felon friend . so where is it ? emily : your briefcase ? it 's in the checkroom at the lakeview . i told you . henry : okay , where 's the claim check ? emily : in the glove compartment of my car . henry : where 's your car keys ? emily : i have no idea . jimmy the lock -- you 're good at that . henry : i am . where 's the car then ? emily : my mother 's driveway , i think . oh , unless it was impounded by the police ? henry : oh , come on , emily , what is this , a scavenger hunt ? hey , i 'll find it . i 'm good at this kind of thing . i 'll find the car . do n't worry about the car . this is probably a dumb question , but you doing okay ? emily : no . but thanks for asking . i 'm pregnant , henry . my mom was right . i could use a good friend right now . so you think maybe you could stick around for a minute or two , please ? [ scene_break ] paul : okay , look , i know that this is horribly upsetting right now , but i think it 's gon na -- it 's all going to work out . meg : you never answered my question . paul : how do i feel about emily 's decision ? well , i think , you know , given her health , and her state of mind , the fact that she 's going to jail -- it 's the only solution . meg : and you have no feelings about it ? paul : i think the whole thing 's really sad . i do . but i know that i 'm going to have children , you know , when the time is right , and when i can give them a loving , stable home . this is not the time . and emily is not someone who i want to raise a family with . and besides , there are a lot of things in this world that i really do wan na do . meg : such as ? paul : okay , do you remember those few months we had in that cabin ? meg : of course i do . paul : i did n't know you very well . i still do n't know you very well . and i do n't think you know me very well . and we need this time , meg , just the two of us , so that we can learn about each other . why do you do that ? i just -- you tell me you wan na know what i want and then i tell you and you get all quiet -- meg : you know what , it 's not that . i -- i have a history of getting involved with unavailable men and then i have a tendency of panicking . because i think i 've gone and done it again . paul : listen , emily shot me , right ? i know i deserved it . meg : nobody deserves to get shot . paul : what does that say about my track record ? meg : it 's worse than mine ? paul : all right ? look , i know dusty 's unavailable , like you say , but he 's capable of being a decent guy when he wants to be . emily needs help . meg : i 'm sorry about dinner . paul : it 's okay . you just got scared . meg : i 'm still scared . paul : so am i . but i love you . and i just want to jump out of this plane , you know ? meg : you want to go sky - diving ? [ paul chuckles ] paul : no , i just -- i want to be happy . i want to make you happy . and i think , meg , that if we 're honest with one another , we got a decent shot of getting what we 've always wanted . meg : oh ? and what 's that ? paul : just to love somebody that actually loves us back . meg : i never had that . paul : i 've had it for like a weekend , maybe a week , a month tops . but it never lasted . and this is -- this is gon na last . meg : how do you know ? paul : because you 're a keeper . meg : oh , and what exactly does that mean ? paul : you know exactly what that means . and i think , meg , that if this is what you want to , then we can get there . meg : and why should i listen to you ? paul : because you know i 'm right . [ scene_break ] mike : how 's katie ? nick : she 's good . margo 's with her . listen , i 'm going to make this all go away . i promise .

[ scene_break ] emily : i did n't even know i was pregnant till the doctors told me . and obviously i ca n't keep it because i 'm going to jail . so , my mother 's making arrangements . this time tomorrow , i wo n't be pregnant . henry : i do n't know what to say . emily : just say what everybody else is saying . that i 'm making the right decision , i 've come to my senses , that it 's the right thing to do . when they 're actually saying i 'm a wreck , i 'm a horrible mother . look what i 've done to my son . i do n't deserve to have another child . [ emily sobs ] henry : how about i 'll just sit here and i wo n't say anything , huh ?

[ scene_break ] liberty : you know what i 've decided ? dusty : what 's that ? liberty : my mom is crazy if she lets you slip away . dusty : come on . we do n't have much time . not much here . this guy lives light . liberty : i know , it 's strange , right ? he does n't have any pictures of friends or family or anyone . not even his mom , and i know he was close to her . dusty : where is he from ? liberty : i do n't know . dusty : what brought him to town ? liberty : i do n't know that either . the guy 's a mystery . dusty : what are those ? liberty : he said they belonged to his mother . he said he takes them with him wherever he goes . i guess it 's his only link to his family . dusty : his mother is dead ? liberty : yeah . dusty : then that 's not what we 're looking for . liberty : what if we brought these to the hospital ? do you think if , you know , we just put them in his hand , it might help him wake up ? dusty : i do n't know . liberty : stupid idea , huh ? dusty : not really . it might be worth a shot , if we do n't get busted stealing them . liberty : we 're not stealing them . we 're borrowing them . dusty : liberty , i like the way you think . let 's go . [ scene_break ] tom : we can bring in our own medical expert , but he 's not going to contradict anything that 's in that report . gabriel caras obviously suffered a severe head wound , rendering him unconscious . there 's -- there 's no question about that . craig : i did n't hurt that kid . i would never do that . tom : well , the fact that he was blackmailing you does n't make you sound too credible . craig : i do n't care . that 's the truth . tom : well , i 'll tell you what i care about . the d.a . can make a case by linking the arson to the blackmail , the blackmail to your embezzlement of parker 's entire trust fund . now that is a pretty sound motive for murder . are you listening to me ? worst - case scenario , you 're up for murder 1 . that 's a lifetime in prison . craig ? craig : let 's talk some more about this head injury . [ scene_break ] carly : i have an idea . why do n't we go to the movies ? you know we 're going to drive ourselves crazy sitting around here , waiting for news about gabriel or craig . maybe we can get something to eat . parker : how could you do it , mom ? carly : do what ? parker : make dad leave . carly : i -- i did n't . it 's just what we said . dad wants to be near janet until the baby 's born . he 's worried about her . and i do n't want to nag him or demand equal time . that would n't be right . i 'm -- i 'm trying to do the right thing . parker : come on , mom . you do n't actually expect me to believe that . this was about me . carly : what do you mean ? parker : i mean that you 're clearly as scared as i am that i 'm going to blow it in front of dad . carly : n -- no ! parker : mom , admit it , you are afraid that dad 's going to figure out that i 'm the one that put gabriel in the hospital . carly : you did n't . craig put gabriel in the hospital . parker : i knocked him out when i hit him . that 's the reason he could n't get out of that building when the fire started . so therefore i am just as guilty as craig is . carly : stop it . i do n't ever want to hear you say that again . parker : why not ? it 's the truth . and i do n't want you to break up with dad because of me ! carly : where are you going ? parker : to go find dad ! i ca n't do this anymore , mom . i 'm going to tell him everything . carly : no , you 're not . parker -- you 're not going anywhere . all right , i admit it . i asked your father to move out so i would n't have to worry about either one of us slipping up . parker : and i 'm worried about that , too . carly : well , you see ? so it 's a good thing that he wo n't be around for a while . and still -- it 's still just a matter of time before one of us says something that 's going to make him suspicious , no matter how hard we try . parker : yeah . yeah , mostly me . i 'm about ready to explode as is . but if it means keeping you two together , then i 'll do whatever i have to stay quiet , even if it means moving out . carly : oh , parker , and that 's not going to make him suspicious ? please . honey , you 're not going anywhere . i 'm not happy about dad being gone , but it 's what has to happen right now . parker : why ? carly : because this is n't just about protecting you , although that is at the top of my list , of course . parker : well then what ? carly : we do n't want to put dad in a position where he has to choose between his badge and his family . that would n't be fair . i am scared for you , but i 'm scared for him , too . parker : so he 's just gone forever ? carly : no , no . j -- just till this is all cleared up , you know ? and -- parker : and what ? craig is locked up forever ? carly : he deserves to be locked up . you do n't feel guilty , do you , after what he did to you , to us ? parker : no , but i think he deserves to be punished for the crimes that he 's guilty of . carly : he 's guilty of starting the fire that put gabriel in the hospital . parker : you know , the nurse did say that the surgery was because of the smoke inhalation , not because of the head injury . carly : well , you see that ? that 's good news . parker : no ! no , there 's nothing good about any of this , mom ! carly : no , of course not . i do n't mean that it 's -- that it 's good . i just mean -- parker : no , i get it . i get what you mean . but i also know what reality is . and if something happens to gabriel , craig is going to be charged with murder when it 's just as much my fault as it is his . carly : well , what would you prefer ? because the alternative , parker , is that you could be charged with murder . and if you 're convicted , you could spend the rest of your life behind bars . is that what you want ? is it ? [ scene_break ] tom : so , according to the forensics report , gabriel was in some type of fight before he was knocked unconscious . craig : he was roughed up ? tom : yeah . contusions on his cheek , a cut on his lip . maybe he was punched , causing the fall , hit his head . craig : i did n't have a fight with him . tom : so you claim . craig : tom , if i 'd punched gabriel in the face , would n't i have bruising on my knuckles ? tom : not necessarily . craig : but it 's likely . tom : and what if you hit him with something other than your fist ? craig : or someone else hit him , knocked him out , and left him there . tom : conveniently placing him in a building that you were about to burn down ? craig : why would i do that ? if i wanted to kill gabriel , which i absolutely did not , why would i be so foolish ? if i wanted to get rid of gabriel , there 's a dozen ways that i could have done it without his body ever being found . tom : that 's a decent argument . craig : i did n't do this , tom . you want me to take a lie - detector test , i will . i will do whatever you need to prove i 'm telling the truth . tom : well , at least margo was right about something . craig : what ? tom : well , you 're convincing as hell . so guilty or not , that 's going to do nothing but help you on the stand . [ scene_break ] liberty : the nurse said he 's been in surgery for a while . think something went wrong ? dusty : there 's no point in speculating . liberty : if i had thought to bring this sooner , it could have been like a good - luck charm or something . dusty : do n't lose hope . he 's in surgery , which means he 's being taken care of . you never gave up when you were sick , and we never gave up on you . liberty : i was a lot luckier than gabriel is . i had a family and a bunch of friends around me the whole time . gabriel 's got nobody . dusty : he 's got you . you 're the best friend anybody could wish for . that 's a lot . it 's a lot stronger than those pearls you got there . liberty : you 're a good guy , dusty . my mom is so lucky that you care so much about her . dusty : well , hopefully someday she 'll feel the same way you do . liberty : she 'll come around . just give her time . dusty : well , there 's nothing we can do till he gets out of surgery . you want to -- grab a bite , get some coffee ? liberty : i 'd rather stay here and wait , but you should go . i mean , i do n't want to keep you if you 've got stuff to do . dusty : i 'll come back and i 'll check on you , okay ? liberty : thanks for everything . dusty : gabriel 's going to pull through . he 's got you , and he 's got your prayers to help him . i 'll see you later . [ liberty sighs ] [ scene_break ] jack : dusty . glad i ran in to you . yeah , i -- i stopped by metro . teri said she did n't know where you were . dusty : i was at the hospital with liberty . jack : really ? is everything okay ? dusty : she 's fine . she 's a little shaken up . she 's worried about her friend gabriel . jack : oh , really , really ? well , i 'm sure you were there to calm her down . you 're getting this hand - holding thing down to a science , are n't you ? dusty : is there a point to this conversation , jack ? jack : yeah , there is , as a matter of fact . i just got an interesting phone call from janet 's brother , eddie . dusty : what did he want ? jack : well , he just got off the phone with his lawyer . it seems that janet called him , asking about this -- this money that she got from her father , his inheritance , yeah . eddie had a lot of questions about this -- this money that supposedly janet received . dusty : what 's his problem ? his share 's not big enough ? jack : he did n't get a share . nobody did . dusty : really ? jack : see , it turns out there was no inheritance for him or janet or anybody else . rocco ciccone died $ 15,000 in debt . dusty : it 's a fascinating story , jack . what does that have to do with me ? jack : well , come on . the money that supposedly came from rocco had to come from someplace . dusty : somebody 's looking after her . jack : she made it clear she does n't want help from anybody . dusty : she might not want it , but she needs it . jack : what she needs is to prove her independence . dusty : well , now she 's got the money to do that . jack : because you tricked her into thinking that rocco came through for her . dusty : well , she would n't have taken the money otherwise . now she has a nice apartment for liberty , herself , and the baby . what 's wrong with making her life easier ? jack : i think she has been through a lot . dusty : she does n't have you anymore . jack : she can count on me whenever she needs me . dusty : i bet carly 's thrilled about that . jack : oh , please . we 're not discussing my relationship with carly . we 're discussing janet . dusty : i did what i had to do . unless you have a better idea , leave it alone . jack : i do n't . i wish i did . dusty : what are you going to do ? jack : keep quiet , for now . dusty : i was hoping you 'd say that . jack : janet does n't need to know where the money came from . dusty : thanks . [ scene_break ] janet : how 's gabriel ? liberty : all i know is he 's in surgery . his lung collapsed . janet : oh , sweetheart , i 'm so sorry . liberty : nobody will tell me anything . janet : do you want me to go see what i can find out ? liberty : they probably wo n't tell you either . we 're not family members . janet : you look a little pale . when 's the last time you ate ? liberty : i do n't know . this morning sometime . i 'm too worried to eat . janet : honey , you got to take care of yourself first . otherwise you 're not going to be any good to anybody else . liberty : mom , he 's all alone . he 's got no friends , no family . janet : hey , he has you , and therefore he has me . now , what are these in your hand ? liberty : they belonged to his mother . i thought maybe if i brought them to him and he could hold them in his hands , he might -- janet : that is so sweet . listen to me . he 's getting the best care possible . and waiting around is not doing you any good . so i 'm pulling rank , and i 'm going to get you to go get something to eat . liberty : i do n't want to leave . janet : do n't argue with your mother . [ liberty sighs ] [ jack sighs ] [ scene_break ] margo : oh , i can see why you were so protective of craig at the hospital . this does n't look good for him . tom : actually , i 'm a little more optimistic than i was before . margo : why ? what do you know that i do n't know ? tom : well , i think your team 's looking in the wrong direction . gabriel was in a fight before he was knocked unconscious . that person left him in that fire . i do n't think it was craig . [ scene_break ] carly : hey . you know , you and your dad are the most decent people i know . your instinct is always to tell the truth . parker : and suddenly that 's supposed to be a bad thing ? carly : no . it 's not . it 's just -- sometimes you have to do something that in the moment might feel like a bad thing in order to achieve a good thing . parker : i 'm not a kid anymore , mom . i know how the world works , and what we 're doing stinks , but i do n't have a choice . i -- i get that . carly : you have to make a decision , but you do have a choice . parker : yeah , well , i wish gabriel had a choice . i wish he could just walk out of the hospital and punch me in the face , and that would be his payback . i wish i could tell craig to give me the money back for my trust fund , but i ca n't . none of that 's going to happen . carly : i hate that you 're going through this . parker : i hate that everyone 's going through this -- you , dad , liberty , gabriel , even though i hate the guy , all because of me ! carly : no . not because of you , because of craig , because he 's a thief . he set all of this in motion . parker : craig could n't change if he wanted to , but i can . carly : where are you going ? parker : i do n't know . for a walk . i just -- i need to think . carly : can i come with you ? parker : no , i need to be alone . carly : parker , just promise me that you 're not going to try to find your dad and tell him what happened . parker : i 'm not . you talked me out of it . carly : good . parker : i 'll stick to the plan , even though i hate it . [ sighs ] carly : h -- hello . can you tell me when your next a.a. meeting is , please ? oh , good . thank you . thanks so much . craig : if i were in your position , i 'd want a drink , too . carly : get out of here , craig , before i do something i 'll really regret . craig : you 'll regret it if i do go . carly : somehow i doubt that . craig : you and i need to have a long talk . carly : about what ? craig : about parker . [ next_on ] craig : i 've done a lot of despicable things , carly . carly : you certainly have . craig : but beating up kids and leaving them to die in a fire is n't one of them . but i think i know who did . jack : we 're trying to figure out how gabriel caras ended up in that building unconscious before the fire started , and i was hoping maybe you could help me out with that . paul : i know that you love eliza , but you are just not ready to be responsible for her . meg : oh , and emily is ? paul : yes , she is . emily : we 're going to go make money . yes , we are .	carly asks jack to move out . he ca n't believe why carly would be asking him to leave ; he thinks it is more then carly trying to do the right thing and not taking him away from his looking after janet . carly is n't sure if he is on to her so she waits to see his theory . it is that she is very mad with him ; so carly goes with it , but she also claims she wants to save their relationship by taking this stand and asking him to leave for now . parker learns jack is leaving and is even more racked with guilt . carly tries to convince him it is for another reason , but she finally admits that the stress of trying to keep this from jack would be too much if he were living there . parker struggles to deal with his growing stress and guilt . janet moves into her apartment and almost catches dusty helping ' her out . she invites him to stop by as soon as she is set up . janet later sees jack and realizes carly kicked him out . she offers him the extra bedroom , but they both know that wo n't work considering . jack is sure that he and carly will work through this just like the other times . jack learns that janet 's inheritance ' is not from her father . he confronts dusty and realizes that dusty is funding her newfound independence . he finally agrees not to say anything for janet 's sake . parker and craig hold vigil at the hospital and are both visibly upset when gabriel is rushed into surgery . craig claims it is because he is his employee and a kid and parker claims he is there for liberty , but parker is focused on gabriel 's head injury and how he is happy that is not why he was rushed into surgery . liberty goes to dusty for help trying to find out about gabriel 's family ; they let themselves into his room , but they find nothing . liberty decides to take gabriel 's mom 's necklace to the hospital for him . liberty is later upset to learn gabriel is in emergency surgery . janet shows up and pulls liberty away to get some food , but she promises that gabriel now has the both of them in his corner . margo pleads with tom to take craig 's case . tom is very hesitant at first but then decides to look into it . tom later shows up when margo is talking with craig at the hospital ; he has gabriel 's medical reports and he wants to go over craig 's story . craig will cop to borrowing parker 's money , but he would never hurt gabriel . he is intrigued when he learns that gabriel was in a fight before the fire ; he did n't fight him ; he will take a lie detector . tom talks with margo about how gabriel was in a fight first and he tends to believe craig was n't involved . craig goes to see a preoccupied and stressed out carly , who is inquiring about the next aa meeting ; he tells her they have to have a long talk about parker , as carly looks nervous .

gwen : the itty bitty kitty crew . yeah , and f.y.i . -- we 're awesome . josh : yeah , i 'll bet . casey : i 'll catch up with you guys later , all right ? zach : you 're blowing us off ? casey : no , but i was in the middle of something , that 's all . i 'll catch up with you guys later and then we 'll surf for tunes . cool ? josh : whatever . zach , let 's get out of here . gwen : wow , with friends like those , who needs jerks , right ? casey : we 're just on the same prom committee , that 's all . gwen : wait a minute . so you 're really gon na let two guys with brains the size of peanuts choose your music ? casey : like i said , it 's a committee . i do n't get to choose on my own . gwen : look , if you want your prom to be bogus , throw together a bunch of lame cds . on the other hand , if you want to blow the place off the map , hire me and my band for the amazing low price of zero dollars and zero cents . casey : look , gwen , that 's a really generous offer , but i do n't -- gwen : come on , you 've never even heard us play . we 've done gigs all over this stupid town . casey : sorry . i have n't caught one of your sets . gwen : so , what ? you 're just gon na turn us down , because you think you know me ? how come you think you know me so well , case , huh ? because of how i look ? how i dress ? how i -- well , guess what ? you do n't know me , okay ? you do n't know me at all . will : get over yourself , celia . i do n't need you to save me . celia : will , i get that you feel like life reeks right now . you 're in love with alison and she does n't love you back . and it hurts a lot . but that 's the way it is and you 're going to have to deal . so what are you gon na do ? will : what do you want from me ? celia : to move on . at least see you have fun again . will : have fun ? celia : how hard could it be to go out there for a change ? go on a date , maybe ? the prom 's coming up . will : no , forget it . it 's not happening . celia : because you ca n't go with alison ? will : no . because i do n't like dances . i do n't go to proms . i 'm not that kind of guy . celia : being with friends has to be way better than holding on to a dream that 's never going to happen . will : well , you know what ? maybe that dream is a hell of a lot better than going to some stupid prom with stupid people talking about stupid stuff ! celia : you know what ? you need to wake up . carly : you think i 'm after your job ? jennifer : i 've told dusty over and over that i do not need help . carly : look , i 'm sorry . i do n't mean to step on your toes . i just assumed that dusty had cleared this with you first . jennifer : oh , yes . dusty would really ask my permission to exploit you . carly : you think he 's using me ? why would he do that ? jennifer : to punish me . one time i was late for a press conference , one night i was too exhausted to work , and now he 's retaliated by calling you . carly : i 'm feeling more flattered by the minute . jennifer : i created this company , carly . the ideas are mine . the designs are mine . carly : you have done a fantastic job . jennifer : thank you . thank you . so i 'm sure you 'll understand when i say that i do n't need someone looking over my shoulder or holding my hand . i 'm pregnant , not brain dead . carly : yes , right . but wait until your eighth month . jennifer , all you 'll want to do is sleep . trust me , i know . i 've been there . jennifer : that 's just it . i do n't trust you , carly . everyone remembers how you stole my mother 's designs for the moonlight collection . carly : no , now wait . no . i designed each piece in that collection . i had no way of knowing that craig was feeding me ideas from your mother 's sketchbook . jennifer : and what about when you stole her company ? are you going to tell me that you did n't know that that was hers either ? carly : i see while you 're building your case against me , you 're conveniently omitting the fact that when your mother had a brain tumor , when she thought that she would be blind for the rest of her life , it was me she turned to . thanks to me , that b.r.o . show in vegas was a complete success , which i took no credit for ! jennifer : that was a rare moment . because carly tenney is very ambitious . she would walk over anyone as long as there was something in it for her . carly : people are more than their mistakes . they grow . they change . i know i have . jennifer : i 'm sorry . but working together is simply not going to be possible . carly : dusty works for worldwide , does n't he ? jennifer : so ? carly : worldwide owns street jeans , does it not ? jennifer : your point ? carly : i will leave when dusty asks me to . dusty : how 's it going , ladies ? jennifer : how do you think it 's going ? carly : you led me to believe that jennifer was on board with this . jennifer : and i 'm not ! but even if i were , carly tenney would not be theight designer for the job . carly : excuse me ? dusty : time out . are you really gon na force me to make an executive decision ? because i will . jennifer : who am i to talk to you about business , dusty ? i 'm just the lowly designer , right ? dusty : i do n't think that way . there 's a lot of work to be done here , jen . so i suggest you stay here and work with carly or go permanently . what 's it gon na be ? lily : i do n't know what to say . keith : well , all right . listen , i do n't want to pressure you , because i know we talked about taking it really slow . lily : no , no , no , you 're not pressuring me . you just -- you surprised me , that 's all . keith : you did n't expect me to be so honest . lily : i do n't know what i expected you to say . just not that you were falling in love with me . keith : well , i am . and let me confess something else to you . last night , every time i tried to close my eyes to go to sleep , i just kept seeing that smile you had on your face when i kissed you . lily : right . the kiss . keith : the kiss . that 's it ? just a kiss ? well , i hope it meant more to you than just a kiss , because it meant a lot more to me than just a kiss . i 'm talking too much now . lily : no , no . no , that 's not it . keith : well , that happens . sometimes i jabber away or i shut down . i say nothing . so , you know , i was think that when you were talking about confessing , i thought it was about , you know , how we almost slept together the other night . lily : i think i 'm going to make something to eat . keith : wait , whoa . i do n't want to scare you . lily : you 're not , you 're not . keith : i should have quit . lily : no . keith : quit while i was ahead . lily : you 're not scaring me , actually . it 's the exact opposite . you 're making me feel things that i have n't felt in a really long time . i 'll be back . casey : i was n't trying to diss you . gwen : my band rocks , okay ? we 're good . casey : do you have enough songs that you can play an entire prom ? gwen : we can play way past your bedtime . casey : well , you got a tape ? gwen : what do you think ? casey : well , let 's see it . we 'll listen to it . gwen : we ? casey : like i said , i 'm -- gwen : okay , got it . the committee . and if you and the doofus twins decide that you like what you hear ? casey : if we like it , then you 're in . is that all you wanted to talk to me about ? your band playing at prom ? gwen : no . casey , there 's something else . celia : hey , guys . maybe i should come back ? casey : no . stay . gwen was just leaving . alison : how are you planning to get them here without ruining the surprise ? katie : i had paul invite them here for dinner tonight . henry : so , we 're all just going to jump out and yell , `` surprise `` ? katie : that 's the plan . alison : oh , i love it . henry : i hope the other patrons are as enthusiastic . alison : who does n't love a free party ? i 'm going to tie these to the edge of the bar . katie : oh , thanks . you 're not on board with this , are you ? not really . henry : now i have always been your first mate , have n't i ? katie : yeah , but you do n't think this is going to work . henry : i think they 'll be surprised . i do n't know what happens after that . i mean , are you going to be fine if it does n't go the way you want ? katie : you know what ? if mike and jen ca n't find it in their hearts to forgive me after all of this , then i give up . henry : you give up ? who are you and where have you hidden my indefatigable wife ? katie : i 'm not kidding , henry . i apologized . i explained myself . so if they ca n't give me a break after i 've gone to all this trouble ? then there 's nothing else i can do . henry : so you 're okay . you 're telling me you 're okay if mike and jen walk out of your life forever ? katie : yeah . yeah , i 'm okay with it . will : hey , katie . hey , henry . i got your message . here 's all the pictures i could find . katie : thank you so much . oh ! will : yeah , i do n't really look at them much anyway . alison : hi . i was hoping that you 'd be here for this . will : part of me said i should n't come . alison : well , i 'm glad that you listened to the other part . will : how come ? alison : celia left me a long message on my voicemail . i was really wrong about you . will : it does n't matter . alison : no , it does matter . celia accused you -- i accused you of doing something that you did n't do . i do n't know even know how i could think that you would break in and trash my place . will : why would n't you ? alison : because i know you so much better than that . and i feel terrible , will . i guess after the break - in , i was ready to think that everyone wanted to take advantage of me , including you . and i was afraid that you set it up so you could be some kind of a hero . will : i 'd love to be your hero , alison , but i 'd never hurt you to make it happen . it does n't matter anyway , because you do n't feel about me the same way i feel about you . alison : will , i 'm sorry . will : yeah . i 'm sorry , too . jennifer : you 're firing me ? dusty : jen , you 're the heart and soul of this company , but if we do n't get moving , it 's all over . you got to play ball with me . jennifer : and you think by forcing me to accept something that i do n't agree with , that that 's going to make me a team player ? dusty : i 'm trying to make this a better business . you 're too emotional to see that . jennifer : because i 'm pregnant , i 'm too hormonal to want my business to succeed ? ! dusty : okay , let 's talk about succeeding . there are a lot of impatient buyers right now , which means there 's going to be a lot of all - nighters . chances are there are going to be times you 're just not up to it . jennifer : yeah , so i 've been told . dusty : i 'm not stopping production because my top designer is -- jennifer : because i 'm pregnant ! dusty : well , call donna karan or stella mccartney and ask them if they had help while they were pregnant . carly : jennifer , if you really do n't want me here -- jennifer : suddenly , the decision does n't seem to be mine . dusty : with or without you , i 'm going into production . i hope you stay . we need you . jennifer : i 'll be working at home for the rest of the day . dusty : so you 're on board or what ? jennifer : i am the heart and soul of the company . you really , really need me . street jeans is nothing without me ! blah , blah , blah ! and do n't think that my leaving is giving up , carly . this business is mine . carly : jennifer thinks you 're using me . dusty : what do you think ?

[ scene_break ] jack : me spending the night here with you -- carly , that 's not gon na happen . carly : on the couch , jack . jack : oh , on the couch ? carly : on the couch . did you really think that i would try to seduce you with a house full of six children ? jack : okay , fine , i jumped to a conclusion . i did . carly : you did . it 's just like you said . it 's gon na be very difficult for me to get the kids up and out to school without a little assistance . jack : right . then why did you offer to have them spend the night ? carly : well , you seemed to think it was a good idea at the time . you even helped me convince holden to do it . oh , i see . you think this is all some big plan to get you to spend the night with me . jack : no , i did n't say that . carly : you do n't have to . okay , jack , if you 're really that afraid that i 'm gon na jump your bones , why do n't we call holden ? he can come all the way back here . he can rip the kids away from their fun . you can all head back to the farm together . jack : carly , no , you 're not gon na do that . fine , we will -- they will stay , even if it means i spend another night on that lumpy couch . [ scene_break ] holden : that 's not what i 'm saying at all . i do want a future with you . lily : you certainly do n't act like it . holden : i just do n't want to be rushed into things . lily : so i 'm rushing you into a life that we 've shared for over 20 years ? holden : no , but i ca n't get over things as easily as you can . i want to get past the hurt and the anger . lily : and pushing me away helps you do that ? holden : i 'm not doing that . i just do n't want to go too far too fast . lily : what , because we might get back together ? would that be such a terrible thing ? holden : lily , it does n't make sense to get back together until we 've dealt with our problems . lily : holden , we are always gon na have problems , because we 're two different people who do n't always get along . holden : our problems are a lot deeper than not getting along every once in a while . lily : well , we 're just supposed to wait , wait and wait , until we 've worked everything out ? but that 's never gon na happen . we are never going to have perfect . we are just gon na have what we have right here , right now . and if that 's not enough for you , i do n't know what else i can do . did you mean to do that ? holden : you 're so beautiful . lily : that 's not an answer , but i 'll take it . holden : the way you look , the way you feel , the way we ended up here alone tonight like it was meant to be -- who am i to fight that ? \\ [ scene_break ] emily : the perfect ending to a perfect day . casey : mm - hmm . emily : and it could 've been a complete disaster if it were n't for you . casey : oh , you were the one who aced the presentation . emily : mmm . yeah , i was pretty good , was n't i ? casey : you were more than good . emily : well , we better go . we do n't want to miss our flight . casey : okay . i 'll get the check . emily : no ! no , you do n't . you may have come rushing in like the cavalry , but i am still your boss . i 'm paying . casey : the lady takes charge . emily : and do n't you forget it . [ scene_break ] lily : still think we rushed things ? holden : the last thing i want to do is think . [ scene_break ] carly : hey , honey . what is it ? natalie : parker and j.j. say that there 's bears outside . carly : no . you listen to me , natalie . there are no bears in that backyard . natalie : but i saw their shadows on the tent . carly : jack , can you take care of this , please ? jack : okay . no , it 's all right . come on . natalie , i 'll make sure there are no bears . and from now on , j.j. and parker will show you nothing but shadows of bunny rabbits . carly : good idea . [ telephone rings ] sage : wait for me . carly : hello ? lily : i ca n't talk , but thank you , thank you , thank you ! carly : i guess i do n't need to ask what for . [ lily chuckles ] lily : i 'm smiling too much to tell you . but let 's just say , holden and i are well on our way to getting our marriage back together . carly : that 's wonderful . you know , i had sort of a hard time convincing him to let your kids stay here . i 'm glad that the plan is working . lily : hey , holden said that jack was there . how 's that going ? carly : it 's going okay , actually . he 's in the backyard shooing the bears away as we speak . [ lily chuckles ] lily : well , make sure you give everybody a kiss from me . carly : will do . and now you go and do some kissing of your own . [ lily chuckles ] carly : hi . all the bears -- have they turned into bunny rabbits ? jack : you betcha . carly : well , that 's good . jack : turns out that natalie was n't the only one seeing things that were n't there . this whole thing has been a setup , has n't it , carly ? [ scene_break ] lily : i thought you were asleep . holden : i was . i was , i was , i was . lily : you missed me . holden : i did . thought i heard you on the phone earlier . lily : i was talking to carly . i wanted to check on the kids . holden : you know , i still feel a little guilty about leaving them there . six kids -- it 's a lot to wrangle . lily : you got a lot to wrangle right here . [ holden chuckles ] holden : yes , i do . [ lily giggles ] lily : holden ! holden : you said you wanted to do something different . lily : ooh . [ scene_break ] carly : you heard . jack : not every word , but enough . so this whole evening was some plan between you and lily to set holden up . carly : the only thing i did was help create an opportunity . if lily and holden took advantage of that , good for them . jack : it should 've been holden 's choice . carly : i did n't force him to spend time with lily . that 's what he wanted to do . jack : no , carly , you did what you always do . you plotted and you schemed to get what you want . carly : the kids are happier right now than they 've been in so long , and lily just told me that she and holden are over the moon . jack : really ? do you think holden would be over the moon if he knew the truth ? carly : he does n't have to know . jack : but i know . and i wish i did n't . carly : it seems like the only one i hurt tonight is you . and that 's what you 're so upset about , is n't it , jack ? [ scene_break ] casey : i thought we had a plane to catch . emily : we do . we do . but i wanted to show you one last thing before we go out tonight . the view from these windows has to be seen to be believed . casey : oh , wow . emily : i know , look . from here you can see the empire state building , the chrysler building . and if you look way down there , this way , look -- the statue of liberty . oh , is n't it amazing ? casey : the most amazing thing i 've ever seen . emily : that 's what i thought you 'd say . [ scene_break ] holden : what ? what 's the matter ? lily : the idea of somebody coming in that door right now . just not a turn on . holden : yeah , you 're right . you do have a point . let 's see if i can think of a surprise or two behind closed doors . lily : after me . [ scene_break ] jack : i was just a part of the plan , was n't i ? you did n't really need me . just needed to keep me away from the farm tonight . carly : that does n't mean i did n't like having you here . and you liked being here . you said so . jack : i did , until i got wise to all the wheeling and dealing that got me here . but why am i surprised ? it 's what we do best . carly : hey . go ahead , jack , and be mad at me . be disappointed in me . despise me if you want to . but please , do n't take this night away from lily and holden . jack : till the kids are ready for school -- then i 'm out of here . carly : understood . jack : i 'm going to need a blanket and pillows for the couch . carly : i 'll get them . hey , jack -- jack : do n't . [ scene_break ] emily : okay , this is a really , really bad idea . casey : sure . you 're right . yeah . emily : yeah , i mean , we 've got a plane to catch , right ? casey : ca n't miss that . emily : no . so we just got ta get back home and get everything back to normal . casey : yep . you behind your desk , me behind mine . emily : exactly . [ next_on ] alison : i 'm hopeless . i should n't even show up for the exam . aaron : i think i know what you need . holden : what could possibly come between us ? there are no more secrets . this was a setup , was n't it ? lily and carly -- they cooked up this scheme .	carly is unsure about going through with the plan to set holden up for lily , but lily convinces her ; carly and lily put the plan in motion by carly keeping lily and holden 's kids for the night . emily prepares to go to a meeting in new york ; casey walks in to find emily half - dressed . casey asks to join her in nyc , but emily thinks it is best if he stays there in oakdale . carly asks jack to stay and help with the kids . a flustered emily heads off to new york without her proposal , but a quick thinking casey books himself the next flight out . lily pretends to be surprised when holden tells her that they have the farm to themselves , as she suggests dinner . emily thinks of casey , as casey thinks of emily . carly and jack enjoy themselves , as they look after the kids . in nyc , emily realizes she does n't have her proposal , but casey swoops in at the last minute and saves her , as she invites him to sit in on the meeting . after some initial awkwardness , holden and lily enjoy their dinner , but after things get too close , holden heads off to get the kids . carly convinces holden to let the kids stay overnight , as she later asks jack to stay as well . jack is unsure , as carly promises it is not a ruse to get him to stay overnight . casey and emily enjoy a day in nyc . holden and lily grow closer and wind up getting passionate , as holden thinks fate brought them together alone that night . jack later overhears carly talking to lily and figures out the night was a set up . jack voices his displeasure again at carly 's manipulations . emily and casey give into their attraction .

[ scene_break ] craig : lucinda must have half the judges in this town in her pocket . you tell her to pay them off and then pay off the other half . lily : what ? craig : you heard me . lily : let me get this straight . you want my mother to pay off a judge ? craig : or 20 . lily : and then you want me to lie to the police , and that there is no way you 're responsible for what happened to gabriel in that fire ? craig : lily , the only people who can take the moral high ground are people with morals , and you 're not one of them . [ lily sighs ] craig : you kept a secret for 20 years . that was not only dishonest , it 's the reason we 're standing here today . it 's the reason my son that i never knew i had might die . so as far as i 'm concerned , telling the police that i was n't responsible for what happened to gabriel is n't so much of a leap .

[ scene_break ] paul : okay , look , i 'm not trying to minimize what it is that i 'm giving up . but emily has a huge problem . jessica : if she has a problem , why would you want her to raise your child ? why would you want her to make all the decisions in your child 's life . i 'm saying that if you share custody , you can mitigate her influence . but if you sign these papers , it 's over . it 's irrevocable . emily will have total control . paul : how ? from a jail cell ? susan 's gon na raise this child . jessica : that remains to be seen . paul : okay , look jessie , i appreciate your concern . i really do , but bottom line is if i relinquish custody , i get a new start . and right now , that is all that matters . that matters right now more anything . [ scene_break ] jack : do you really need to go to fiji to start over ? meg : why not , jack ? why not fiji ? or barcelona ? or paris or even bay city ? jack : do you have to have paul there too ? meg : look , i know you do n't like him . jack : you 're right , you 're right , it 's not my business . okay , it 's just -- i 've been there before . the place where someone 's always promising that things are going to be different this time . only they never are . because once you think you are on solid ground , it moves . and you 're constantly looking over your shoulder , doubting everything she says , and people get hurt , you get hurt , the kids get hurt . is that what you want ?

[ scene_break ] meg : you ca n't compare paul to carly . jack : why not ? they 're both willing to break the law if it suits them . if they 're running scared or if they 're covering their tracks . think about how you felt when you found out jennifer 's baby was alive . meg : i wanted to tell her . jack : then paul convinced you not to . and every lie you told just meant another lie . meg : you 're talking about me , not paul . jack : no , i 'm talking about what happens when somebody gets next to paul . look at emily , he took her so far over the line , she ca n't find her way back . and look at you , planting false evidence to prove that paul was dead . meg : okay , so he has a tendency of getting in over his head . jack : and who drowns , meg ? you . meg : i had a choice , jack . the difference is , i always knew what i was doing and why . paul has never lied to me . can you say the same about carly ? [ scene_break ] katie : but what if i 'm wrong ? what if that somehow is the same medal that was stolen from the evidence room ? then i 've really gotten nick in to trouble and mike will never forgive me . carly : so nick would had to have taken his medal out of his jacket and put it in a box of mike 's old stuff . katie : wait a second , no he said he took his jeweler to get the clasp fixed . carly : did he mention which jeweler he uses ? katie : no . carly : do you have yellow pages ? katie : i do . okay , okay , jewelers , jewelers -- there 's got to be 50 here . carly : alright , let 's get started .

[ scene_break ] craig : all right , jack . what crime are you trying to pin on me now ? jack : i know gabriel caras is your son . craig : well , that makes sense since i already told my sister , your boss . did margo also tell you that lily was very clear that i knew gabriel was my son before the fire ? that kind of precludes me from the attempted murder charge . jack : i also know that you talked to carly about what happened the day of the fire . craig : that parker knocked gabriel out and then left him there . this is a new one for you , jack , knowing the truth and sitting on it . jack : truth about what , craig ? craig : you 're trying to suck out what i think about all of this , and you 're here because you have n't turned parker in yet . jack : i do n't plan on doing that either . craig : really ? jack : i 'm going to make sure that parker 's name stays out of this whole mess . craig : someone like you doing something like that ? i do n't buy it . jack : you will , when you 're on the receiving end of the charges . you see , i 'm going to do everything i can to make sure you go down for all of this . however , there 's another way we can play this whole deal .

[ sighs ] margo : liberty , there 's something i wanted to ask you . liberty : what ? margo : um , before , when i came and you were reading to gabriel -- liberty : yeah ? margo : he had those , uh , pearls in his hand , and you said that you had brought them to him and that they were his mother 's . how did you know where to find them ? liberty , i really need to know everything i can about the case , and i wo n't hold it against you . i promise . liberty : parker found them . margo : parker ? liberty : when he broke in to gabriel 's room . margo : parker broke in to gabriel 's room ? why in the world would he do that ?

[ scene_break ] carly : so that 's why gabriel was here in the first place . parker : to find his father . carly : craig . i know . i was shocked when i found out , too . parker : well , how long has craig known that gabriel was his son ? carly : i do n't know . parker : before the fire ? carly : it seems like it . but , parker , this does n't change anything . you still ca n't say anything to anybody about the fight you had with gabriel before that fire . parker : how long are we going to get away with this ? carly : telling your father may have been the smartest thing you could have done , because as long as he 's running interference for you , you 're safe . parker : you mean lying for me . carly : he 's trying to protect you , just like i 'm trying to do . parker : this has really gotten in the middle of you two . carly : parker -- [ parker sighs ] carly : sweetheart , when it comes to you , your dad and i will always , always be on the same side , okay ? parker : i hate this . it feels like it 's just getting worse and worse every minute . carly : it 's okay . we 're going to get through it . we just have to stick to the plan and stay strong , and there 's nothing to be afraid of .

[ laughs ] um , i gave you my statement after the fire , remember ? margo : yes , yes . you said that you were a good boss . you were a friend . carly : well , not a friend , really . i mean , gabriel came to work . he did a good job . he seemed to get under craig 's skin . i thought it was just a personality conflict . i even defended gabriel to craig . i did n't know he was blackmailing him , of course . margo : yeah , yeah . well , about that , about that , you must have felt so betrayed when you found out he was cashing in on your son 's trust fund . carly : margo , if i came to town looking for my long - lost father and it turned out to be somebody like craig , i think that gabriel was the betrayed one here , right ? margo : so you were in no position to judge . carly : is anyone , really ? margo : well , what about parker ? carly : what about him ? margo : it was his trust fund that gabriel and craig raided , and ultimately because of what they did left him with , well , nothing . so i ca n't help but wonder , was parker as forgiving as you seem to be ? [ scene_break ] craig : just so i have this straight , i take the fall for the arson charge while you finagle a dropped assault charge for parker ? why again would that appeal to me ? jack : clearly i 've mistaken you for someone who once said he cared about parker . craig : let 's be honest . this is less about saving parker than it is about watching me fry . jack : okay , all right , all right ! i 'll -- i 'll sweeten the deal . i 'll go to the d.a . , and i 'll tell him about your mental state at the time of the fire . craig : my mental state ? jack : yes . craig : which was what ? jack : that you were under huge financial strain , the realization that an employee who was blackmailing you was actually your son . craig : this just gets better and better . not only do you want me to go down , you want me to throw my son under the bus so your son can make baseball practice ? jack : my son is the innocent victim in all this , craig ! craig : innocent when he assaulted -- yes , assaulted -- gabriel and left him to die in a fire ? ! jack : a fire that you set ! i am offering you a chance to minimize the damage in all of this . craig : for parker . jack : do n't you want that for him , craig ? craig : i do n't want my son to die without knowing who he really is . jack : i 'm sure your sister will tell him all about you . craig : you 're bluffing , jack . jack : try me . you think so ? craig : i know how much you love your son . but there 's no way that you could live with yourself if you bought his freedom by lying . jack : what makes you so sure ? craig : i 'm not you , jack . you do what you have to do . i 'll take my chances .

[ voice breaking ] and every year on that child 's birthday , he would take a picture of the tree and the kid , and he 'd show them how much they had grown . dusty : that 's nice . janet : oh . `` the family orchard `` -- that 's what he called it . and when i went back for his funeral , i went out to the backyard to look at the orchard , and there was -- [ voice breaking ] a brand - new baby tree that had been planted . i 'm sorry . and i asked my brother eddie about it . dusty : it was for liberty ? janet : yeah . he planted it for her after he met her in the hospital last winter . dusty : i 'm glad you found out about it . janet : me , too . i wonder if he would have told me , though , because he was so private about so many things . oh -- and i know he would have wanted to get to know this new little baby .

[ scene_break ] carly : he heard us fighting at the house . parker : all you guys do now is fight about me . i had to tell the truth . i got tired of lying . jack : what you did took a lot of courage . it was very brave . parker : i still feel like a coward for not coming forward sooner , but i could n't let you guys break up because of a lie that you were telling to protect me . i had to tell the truth . jack : are you kidding me ? i am very proud for what you did today . coming forward on your own -- that took a lot of guts . parker : so , what happens now ? jack : i 'm not totally sure . i know one thing , though . we 're doing this by the book from now on . we 'll get an attorney , all of us on the same page . okay ? parker : are you going to lose your badge ? carly : parker , do n't spend a moment thinking about that , okay ? jack : your mother 's right . no , what you should be focused on right now is you and you alone . parker : what about you guys ? jack : what about us ? parker : you are n't going to break up because of this , are you ? carly : we are a united front from here on out , the family , and that 's that . right ? jack : right . parker : i 'm so sorry . jack : do n't be sorry anymore . just be honest . we all will be . cop : i have to take him downstairs for processing . carly : no , this is -- jack , this is crazy . it 's your case . can you find a way to just stop this for now until we get a lawyer and figure out what happens next ? jack : it 's not my case anymore . carly : what ? jack : margo took me off it . parker : it 's okay . i 'm ready . carly : no . oh , parker -- oh , sweetie . parker : i 'm okay . i 'm okay , mom , really . jack : here , buddy . all right . you be strong . he 'll be okay , all right ? this is just procedure . okay , i know you 're upset . i am , too . carly : no , you 're not . jack : it makes me sick what this could mean for him . carly : you should have thought of that before . this is all your fault , jack , and i will never forgive you for it . jack : this is exactly how we ended up here today -- fighting and blaming each other -- so much so that parker felt he had to come in and confess to make us stop . carly : which you congratulated him for doing . jack : yes ! our son walked in here , carly , and he confessed because he has his own moral compass . carly : he is not a criminal ! he did n't do anything wrong ! he had a fight ! he made a mistake ! he did n't do anything even remotely life - threatening to gabriel ! he 's our son , and because of you and your moral compass , we 're going to lose him ! jack : oh , excuse me , i think we 're leaving out a huge piece of the puzzle here , like how you kicked me out so you could cover up a lie you forced our son to tell . maybe i could have helped parker if you told me what was happening a little sooner . carly : and if i told you sooner , you could have guilted him into confessing a little sooner then ! jack : you know what ? i ca n't talk to you . i 'm going to go call an attorney . parker is going to be processed , and then he 's going to come back up here . wait for him , okay ? carly : oh , do n't worry . i wo n't abandon our son .
