[ scene_break ] henry : if simon is responsible for slipping the jewels around vienna 's neck while she slept -- katie : of course it was simon . who else do we know who can pick any lock in the world ? henry : yeah , good point . and i 'm pretty sure we can rule out easing his conscience . katie : why would he do it ? why would he risk getting caught ? henry : well , i 'm pretty sure he did n't do it to clear vienna 's name . katie : you think this was for carly ? henry : yeah . if the jewels are returned , it can seriously cut down on the charges against her . katie : yeah , but not get rid of them completely . henry : no , not get rid of them . but it may mean she can come back home . how do you think jack would feel about that ? katie : i really do n't think it would change things for him . jack and carly were divorced long before she ran off with simon . henry : yeah , yeah , ending the marriage does n't end the feelings , as you know very well . katie : yes , well , i paid a big price for that . i 'm never going to open myself up to simon again . henry : yeah , but this is different . jack and carly have children , they have to come in contact -- katie : why are we even speculating about this ? we do n't know that simon and carly are back . henry : denial is not a river in egypt . katie : wait , where was jack when you talked to him ? was he at the police station ? henry : no , actually , he was on his way to milltown to see a realtor about his house .

[ scene_break ] katie : so , jack is meeting with a realtor to sell his house ? the same house that he shared with carly . i think that 's a pretty good sign that he 's moving on . henry : yeah , maybe . maybe he wants to stay out on the farm and he does n't want to worry about the upkeep on two different places . where are you going , katie ? katie ? look , you 're not planning on tracking down jack at his old place , are you ? katie : well , i 'm not going to sit here and paint grim scenarios where i get kicked to the curb again . henry : honey , i am just trying to put a smidgen of reality into the situation -- katie : i know , but i 'm not going to run from this because of something that has n't happened yet . henry : okay , okay , calm down . i only bring it up because vienna thought that you should know and be prepared in case you ran into him . katie : vienna 's worried about me and simon ? henry : yes , she 's -- the last time he passed through your life , it was a train wreck . katie : i know . but i 'm over him now . she 's still having a problem with him ? henry : no , not anymore . katie : then why is she worried that my past is going to come back to haunt me ? henry : i do n't know . why are you being so defensive ? katie : just be careful , henry . i 'm not hung up on some old love , but if vienna thinks i am , it might be because she 's still hung up on hers . i got to go . [ scene_break ] maddie : i do n't want you to leave , vienna . i finally feel like i have a sister again . vienna : that 's so sweet , madeline . i wish we could be sisters forever . maddie : i did n't mean to make you sad . sorry . actually , if it makes you feel any better , i came over for fashion tips . vienna : oh . oh , you want my advice ? maddie : yes , i do . i decided to go to the prom after all . vienna : aha , that 's marvelous . so , did they let casey out of prison so he could attend the party ? maddie : i wish . no , i 'm going with my friend luke . i figured even if casey ca n't take me , i should go to my own prom . it 's all a part of being a senior , so -- vienna : you know if casey really loves you , he would n't want you to deprive yourself . maddie : i know . that 's what i thought . so , i got a dress , but i do n't know what to do with accessories and shoes , and gloves , and a shawl -- i do n't know if i need all of it -- vienna : no , we 'll figure it all out . you are going to look so beautiful that luke wo n't even be able to resist you . maddie : yeah , he will . vienna : he will ? maddie : well , the reason why luke and i are teaming up is because neither of us can go with the guy that we want to be with . vienna : i know that feeling all too well . [ scene_break ] alison : do you see who 's in there ? my sister . lance : and the boyfriend . that guy that came with her to vegas . alison : dusty 's not her boyfriend . lance : you know , i need to tell the two of them to leave you alone , back off . alison : they 're sitting with my mother . lance : that 's your mom ? she 's hot . maybe why you and your sister turned out so good . but you know , ali , mommy ca n't tell you what to do anymore , all right ? you need to tell your family they ca n't make you stay here . alison : they 're not making me do anything . lance : i do n't buy it . they must have something on you . otherwise , why would you be here ? alison : whatever they 've done , it 's because they want to help me . lance : do what ? just get old and burned out before you 're 25 ? what 's gotten into you ?

[ cell phone rings ] oh , it 's my friend , nicky . she wants me to spend the summer with her at the aegean . it 's her family 's yacht . maddie : oh , that 'll be nice . but take it , i have to go anyway . but please , promise me that you will say good bye if you end up leaving . okay ? vienna : i will . maddie : thank you . vienna : hi , nicky . i was going to call you . maddie : finally . what took you so long ? henry : what ? maddie : if you would have waiting any longer , vienna would already be at the airport . henry : what , she 's leaving ? maddie : yeah , is n't that why you 're here ? to stop her ? henry : no , i just came by to thank her for some advice she gave me about katie . maddie : forget about katie . okay , you need to go in there and tell vienna how much you love her , before you lose her for good . [ scene_break ] margo : jack 's not here . katie : actually , i was looking for you . margo : oh , wow . i guess the word got out that we have the crown jewels or something very much like them . katie : well , i did hear that the missing necklace mysteriously appeared around vienna hyatt 's neck . do you have any other details ? margo : we do n't have simon . katie : are you looking for him ? margo : there 's an apb out on him and carly . katie : good . good , i hope you catch them and they end up in jail where they belong . margo : even if that involves a stop off here for arraignment , possible trial ? katie : it does n't matter to me where they end up . margo : really ? so having simon and carly here , in lockup , in this station , that 's not going to bother you ? katie : no , it wo n't . margo , my feelings for simon were wiped out the last go- around . margo : well , good . good , then why are you here ? why are you so curious about whether we brought them in ? katie : well , i would like a little warning , if the two people that almost ruined me and jack are back in town to drag us back into the past , just when we 're about to take a step forward together . margo : you think that 's going to happen ? katie : i do n't know . it does n't have to . at least , not on my part . i mean , i know that if simon came back here , i would steer clear of him . i just do n't know what jack will do . i mean , hopefully he wo n't let carly try and destroy him and the kids again . margo : well , i would imagine if carly came back , it 's to make amends , do n't you think ? katie : forgiveness ? for everything she 's done , i do n't think that 's going to happen . margo : but you do n't know for sure . katie : well , i do know that jack has done a lot to get over her . and if i were him , i would -- margo : aha ! but , my darling , you are not jack . do n't get me wrong . you know i want nothing more than to have things to move on for you and jack . but honey , you ca n't close your eyes because something might happen that you do n't want to see . katie : like what ? margo : well , no matter how far carly travels , no matter what she does , she 's always going to be a part of jack . and as much as he would like to forget about her , he 's not going to . not ever . [ scene_break ] jack : you 're planning on moving back here ? carly : i guess you did n't expect that . jack : no . not really . carly : i 've thought about it for awhile . jack : and you decided this was possible , how ? carly , you 're a wanted felon . carly : well , i know there are legal problems , issues -- jack : oh , and you expect them to vanish ? so you and simon , you can set up household and have the kids over on weekends for popcorn and sleepover , is that it ? carly : i just know that i need to be with them . jack : right . and all simon has to do is some slight of hand that leaves vienna wearing a stolen necklace , and we 're supposed to assume that the stolen crown jewels just miraculously reappeared , case solved . carly : is that how he did it ? jack : you did n't know ? carly : he promised me that he was going to fix things , but he did n't tell me how . so , i did n't know what the plan was until you just told me . jack : and you expect me to believe that ? carly : it 's the truth . jack : where is he , carly ? is he hiding ? waiting for you to give him the all- clear ? carly : i do n't know where he is . i have n't talked to him in a while . jack : how am i supposed to believe that ? you risked everything , carly . you took a chance that you might spend the rest of your life in jail because you could n't go a day without him . carly : there 's a reason that i do n't know where he is . jack : right . and that reason is that he 's afraid we 'll pressure you into giving him up . carly : no . simon and i are n't together anymore . i came back alone . jack : so what happened ? did simon decide you were a liability ? or did he move on to a new partner in crime ? someone who 's , maybe i do n't know , a better fence ? carly : well , i 'm sorry to disappoint you , jack , but we were actually fine together . jack : then what happened ? was being tied to one woman too much for him to handle ? carly : i left him , okay ? i could n't pretend to be somebody i was n't . and simon saw what it was doing to me . what being away from the children was doing to me , and so , finally he asked me if i would like to come back without him . jack : he gave you permission to leave him ? what a prince . carly : this was n't easy for anyone , jack . jack : you do n't have to tell me that . carly : right . but he could see , that in so many ways , i 'd just stopped living . jack : no fun for him ? carly : he promised that he would make it right so i could come back . jack : so , after practically destroying your life and the lives of our children , he still gets to be the hero . carly : he returned the jewels to fix this for me . jack : yeah , unfortunately , there are some holes in his plan . carly : like what ? jack : like he 's still a thief and you 're still an accessory . come on , carly , did you honestly think you 'd be free to go back to playing mommy to the kids you walked away from ? carly : is that too much to hope for ? i 'm still their mother . they still love me . jack : this is not going to end in joint custody . or a welcome home party . this time you 're going to face what you 've done .

[ scene_break ] holden : so , what 's your idea ? lily : i think luke should start seeing a therapist again . he really liked the one he was seeing when he was having a problem with drinking . holden : and what is that supposed to accomplish ? lily : he 's obviously having a very difficult time with his feelings . he 's so angry . holden : well , there 's a reason for that . lily : i know . he 's confused . he needs to understand what 's going on inside of him . why he 's getting pushed and pulled in all these different directions . first , he was drinking and he was lying about jade and now this . holden -- holden : okay , i agree that maybe he should talk to someone . but not because -- lily : good , good . well , he 's much more willing to listen to you these days than me . so , you could suggest it to him ? holden : and what am i suggesting ? that luke see a therapist to try and get a handle on being gay ? or because you think that this therapist can do some kind of secret deprogramming ? because that 's not going to happen . lily , what ? lily : someone could 've put this idea in his head . luke needs to know what is what . he needs somebody to talk to . to confide in . holden : that 's not what 's going on here . lily : you do n't know that , holden . holden : luke is sure . lily : well , maybe you can accept it , but i ca n't . decided to stay in town , that 's fine , it 's your business . but why do you have to be in my face all the time ?

[ scene_break ] barbara : dusty wants to adopt johnny . he 's a good dad to him . who knew ? paul : jennifer knew .. and she lost all that time with johnny because of me . barbara : no , no , you stop . you stop . not because of you . because of craig montgomery . you were right to shield jennifer and johnny from craig . and now she 's marrying a wonderful guy , and he 's gon na be a good father . things have worked out for jen . they can work out for you , too .

gabriel accuses craig of hitting him , starting the fire and leaving him for dead , as margo and lily are stunned while lucinda does n't look that surprised – more smug . craig is stunned , as he pleads with gabriel to tell the truth , but he is n't interested in craig 's pleas . craig forces everyone out of the room while he begs gabriel to tell the truth ; he even explains that lily and lucinda kept the news about him being a father all these years ; he wants to make up for this , but gabriel will not listen . margo and lily try to get craig to open the door , but he wo n't so margo is forced to call for an officer . once inside and still not changing his story , craig is taken to jail . lucinda talks with gabriel in private and praises his lies for the greater good . craig implores margo to listen to his side promising he would never hurt his own child , but his pleas fall on deaf ears , as margo ca n't take anymore lies from him . jack and janet hang out , as he awaits the lawyer 's call back . jack wrestles with parker 's situation , as janet figures out that carly knew about parker 's lies and did n't tell jack . carly stands by parker , as he is in jail , but she is still convinced he did nothing wrong and that he should n't talk anymore . when liberty calls her , she tells her to come to the station thinking she might convince parker to reconsider . liberty has no idea why parker is there and only wants to make up by offering to go with him to a concert with her so they can get their friendship back on track . parker tells her that he ca n't go , as liberty finds out parker has been arrested . parker finally admits that he hit gabriel and left him unconscious . liberty is very upset to hear this , as they argue . carly shows up to find jack with janet and she is n't happy to find them talking about parker and is even less thrilled when janet judges the choice she made to keep parker from talking with jack . they are interrupted by margo 's call and her news about craig . they all head to the station happy to tell parker . they tell parker and liberty the news , as parker is n't sure how to feel . liberty is still angry with him and the fact that he is now off the hook does n't change that he lied to her . carly , jack and parker head home , as carly wants to cook him all of his favorites , but parker is more concerned about his parents being ok . carly asks jack to stay for dinner , but he wants to head back to the station first to take care of something . janet and liberty talk about parker and his actions against gabriel , as liberty is mad that he lied to her and that he is jealous . janet defends a bit of parker 's actions , but thinks they also may need space since parker may still have some unresolved feelings for her . liberty wants to go see gabriel , but janet is n't thrilled to hear this . gabriel blackmailed craig and took parker 's money , but liberty defends him saying that she wo n't turn her back on someone with no family considering they know firsthand how that feels . a furious jack confronts craig promising if he could , he would kill him for what he put parker through . craig appeals to jack to think about if this makes sense ; he would never throw parker under the bus or hurt his own son . jack does n't believe that , as craig makes an admission of love for carly that would cause him never to put her through losing parker , as jack seems a bit swayed by his defense . craig asks jack to think about what he said , as jack seems to be thinking about his words .

katie is glad that henry was able to leave , but is concerned about what sgt . musgrove has told her about the `` alien `` that is watching her . she tells the doctor and he does n't believe her . when he catches her not taking her meds , he forces her to get the injection and just as she 's about to go under , she sees simon take of sgt . musgroves hat in the window . henry fills in mike and margo about what he learned from russell terry and then to mike 's horror , confirms the story that pilar visited katie with the picture of them in bed . they decide to let margo work on some of her leads . pilar tells russ she 'll bail him out , but he has to disappear , russ telling her no way . he 'll take the bail out , but he 's going to hang around until she pays him what she owes him . pilar does n't have the five thousand to get him out , so she tries to borrow it from the wagon wheels motel manager , him telling her to get the money the old fashioned way – either work for it or steal it .

[ jack sighs ] jack : listen . when i agreed to let the kids stay here , it was because i did n't want to disrupt their lives any more than we already have and because you said you were gon na stop drinking and get some help . if you 're gon na add lying to the mix , i 'm not really sure that 's an improvement . carly : i went to a meeting . jack : yes , i know , and i think that 's outstanding ! i 'm happy for you . but you 're not the only one who needs help . and if you 're gon na continue to cover for parker , you 're making matters worse . carly : but i 'm not .

[ scene_break ] craig : the investigation was problematic on the export side . we 've had very few problems domestically . we would love to introduce midnight sun to the seattle market , and we think you 'd be a perfect partner for that . carly : you stay the hell out of my house . craig : may i introduce my ex - partner , carly tenney ? carly : you stabbed me in the back and parker . how could you do that ? craig : could you give us a few minutes , please ? i think you just cost me the pacific northwest . carly : how could you talk to jack ? craig : i thought he should know that his son is stealing money and forcing his mother to lie about it . carly : you do n't know what you 're talking about . craig : yes , i do . carly : just stay the hell away from my family . stay the hell away from me . [ next_on ] brad : are you really prepared to get up on the witness stand and accuse katie ? she 's devastated over what happened . i mean , i do n't know how much more she can take . katie : no . am i crazy ? it 's impossible . janet : if she faked going to an a.a. meeting , she 's in real trouble . craig : she 's lost , jack . i think she has been for a long time .
craig makes sure that carly goes to her aa meeting , as carly is annoyed . craig walks carly to her meeting , but she ducks out early and tells one of the people involved that this is n't for her , as the man sees himself in her , but carly blows it off . parker steals from craig 's wallet . craig and parker have another tiff because parker is into self - pity again . craig then calls him on his wallet being gone , but parker denies it , as he stomps out . parker then comes across carly secretly pouring vodka into her coffee and lets her know he saw . when craig finds his wallet hidden , he calls parker on it , but parker manipulates carly into lying for him . craig is no fool and calls carly on covering for parker , who denies it and tells craig she wants some space . janet gets an offer for a free four day trip to florida and is excited to tell jack , who does n't think it is feasible with all that is going on . however , when he sees her face , he changes his mind . craig bumps into them and asks to speak with jack . craig tells jack what happened with carly and parker and they both admit that parker stealing is bad , but it is more worrisome that carly lied for him . meanwhile , carly is having it out with parker about what he did , as parker feels justified , but carly is incited that he would pull that . jack arrives to confront them and orders parker to show the contents of his wallet . an angry parker does and jack tells him that he knows what he did . he then tells carly that she had her chance and since she wo n't tell him the truth , parker is coming with him . jack shows up with a furious parker telling janet that she has a new busboy until he pays back what he spent . janet realizes that they are n't going on their vacation anymore . carly goes to drink again but has no alcohol so she sees craig 's belongings on her couch and packs them up instead . she then interrupts a business meeting to tell him to get out of her life . meg is at a loss as to what to do about paul kidnapping eliza , as lily tries to help . luke is frustrated with damian thinking he made it worse on meg , but noah and damian come up with a plan to have meg post a video plea to paul to get his , as well as eliza 's and meg 's face out there . meg agrees and with the support of damian , lily , luke and noah , meg makes an emotional plea to paul . lily and luke thank damian , who is busy showing a lot of support to meg . damian promises her that paul will be affected by her words . meanwhile , rosanna 's employee sees the video and realizes what paul has done .

[ scene_break ] parker : hey . you know , my mom and dad were back together before i got myself into this mess . they still love each other . faith : everyone knows that . parker : but they do n't agree on how to handle bad news , which is why my dad almost had to choose between being a cop and me . faith : being a cop is just a job . you 're way more important . parker : you do n't get it . it 's his whole life . it was the same for my real dad . and the only easy way to be the kid of a cop is to do the right thing all the time , and i 'm not so good at that . faith : my parents are just as complicated . everyone knows they should be together except them . but it 's not my fault , and whatever happens with your parents is not your fault either . they 're just dense . parker : yeah , well , i seem to have inherited that a little bit , because i 've been a complete jerk to liberty lately .

[ gabriel sighs ] [ scene_break ] molly : it was just kids making noise . no harm done . holden : yeah , this time . what if faith is hanging out with a bad crowd ? molly : i really do n't think she is . holden : you know , i ca n't take that chance . i know you want to give her the benefit of the doubt . molly : because she 's earned it . faith has been really responsible ever since she moved in here . holden : yeah , but you know how manipulative teenagers can be . molly : i also know that if you question every move a teenage girl makes , you 're asking for trouble . holden , please let this one go , just this one time . we did n't even see anybody . and if there was a trespasser , maybe they had nothing to do with faith . maybe it was some hunters that turned around in the woods . holden : hunters ? what ? this time of the year ? no . faith : i 'm here . what 's up ? holden : we , uh , thought we heard some of your friends sneaking around the house . faith : i do n't have any friends . molly : there . see ? so whoever it was had nothing to do with faith . holden : okay . so if they were n't your friends , maybe they were your customers . faith : are you accusing me of dealing drugs ? holden : i hope not , but under the circumstance , i have to ask . faith : i ca n't believe this ! i 'm used to mom being on my case all the time , but i thought you trusted me . molly : we do . faith : if you did , we would n't be having this conversation . whatever . at least i know where i stand .

[ scene_break ] sofie : nothing -- nothing is going on between me and paul . not anymore . it 's -- it 's strictly professional . barbara : i hope so . sofie : i owe you both so much , so -- i made you -- made you this . barbara : oh , my . sofie : and these . barbara : ohh -- sofie : i would love for you to wear them at the party , if they go with what you 're wearing . barbara : i think they will go with anything . they 're beautiful . thank you very much . i will treasure them . sofie : you and paul have been so good to me . i want you to know how grateful i am . barbara : sofie , you should n't be thinking about us right now . you should be thinking about tomorrow night . you have a lot riding on this party , so mixing business with pleasure would be a very big mistake . do you understand ? sofie : of course i do . [ scene_break ] chris : all right . this is only the beginning . here 's to passing every test from here on out . alison : oh , i wish . you know , do n't take this the wrong way , but i am really proud of myself for doing this without your help . chris : good for you . alison : no . not just good for me , good for us , because if there 's a chance for us to start going out again , it should n't complicate things . chris : well , on the other hand , we 're kind of going out right now . i hope that 's allowed . alison : hmm -- only if you let me kill you in darts . chris : not if i kill you first . alison : yeah . [ alison laughs ] chris : i guess we both killed . alison : yeah ? well , how about a rematch ? student # 1 : you guys want a real challenge , try it blind . alison : what ? you mean , like , drunk ? student # 2 : nope . with a blindfold . chris : ah . think you can handle it ? alison : oh , yeah ! prepare to be spanked . chris : well , ladies first . ready ? alison : okay , yeah . yeah . all right . out of my way . give me some room . chris : okay . alison : okay . [ chris laughs ] alison : what ? how did it go ? chris : no , nothing . it was perfect . you 're doing great . try again . alison : all right . okay . chris : yeah . alison : good ? chris : way to go . way to go . alison : where 'd they -- alison : fine , you think you can do any better ? chris : well , how tough can it be ? alison : come here . you try it . and no peeking . chris : mm - hmm . alison : all right . [ scene_break ] carly : your horse looks whipped . you better let her get her rest . holden : i think you 're the one who needs the rest . you all right ? carly : yeah , i 'm a little sore . i 'm out of practice . holden : come on over here . carly : and i 'm starving . no fast food out here , though , huh ? holden : i think i have something . beef jerky . carly : why not ? holden : why not ? [ scene_break ] chris : oh , thank you . alison : you totally cheated . chris : no . i swear i did n't cheat . the trick is to use your muscle memory , let your sense of direction guide you . alison : okay , if that was true , people could drive blindfolded . chris : no , i would n't recommend that . oh , that 's -- that 's double the points . what 's the score ? what 's that , 14 -- 14 to zip ? alison : not for long . come here . let me see this . help me out . all right . chris : why do n't we -- why do n't we double the stakes ? winner gets to pick the punishment . alison : oh . i am so there . just let me get my darts . i think i need my darts . and i promise -- i promise you , i am going to make it hurt , okay ? [ chris grunts ] alison : how 'd i do ? chris : well -- well , you said it would hurt . alison : where did it go ? chris : i hope that 's not a poisonous dart . alison : oh , my god ! you 're bleeding ! [ scene_break ] meg : hey . paul : hi . where 'd you go ? meg : i had some important business to take care of . paul : business ? mike : what the hell is going on here , ryan ? meg : hey , mike , i can explain -- mike : this guy does n't know when to quit . you think you can just keep breaking the restraining order and get away with it ? paul : who died and made you meg 's snyder 's babysitter ? meg : okay , okay , okay . time out , guys . i just spoke to margo , and i had the restraining order lifted . i was about to deliver the news to paul . he 's off the hook . meg : okay , look . the restraining order is just getting in the way , and if i 'm going to come here to check on his mother , why should paul be chased out of her suite just to comply by some papers that do n't make sense anymore . paul : meg , thanks . i 'll try not to screw it up this time . paul : i got to get this contract to the caterer . meg : do n't keep me in suspense . go ahead , say it . mike : okay , i will . i think this is a mistake . [ scene_break ] alison : well , i 'm glad you trust my nursing skills , but it does n't take an r.n . to see that this needs to be disinfected . and i do n't think yo 's is the most sterile environment . chris : yeah , well , lucky for me , i have all the first - aid supplies i need back at my house . alison : yeah , well , good luck using them with your one free hand . look , i stuck you with this -- pun intended . so i 'm going to help you out of it , okay ? chris : you sure you do n't mind coming back to my room ? alison : no . i mean , it 's the least i can do . chris : thank you . alison : okay ? hold that . [ scene_break ] susan : aaron , what brings you here ? aaron : i just got a message from alison . she said she had news . was it about her exam ? susan : they just posted the grades . she passed . aaron : yes ! susan : just barely . aaron : hey , that 's fine . fine . susan : yeah , definitely . i heard meg helped out at the last minute . that was nice of her . aaron : yeah . well , it 's better than chris helping out . susan : that 's for sure . alison 's trying to keep her distance there . oh , amy , have you seen alison around ? amy : yeah , uh -- i saw her leaving earlier with chris hughes . [ scene_break ] chris : ready for the procedure , nurse ? alison : ready , doctor . okay . i may -- i need you to take off your shirt . i mean , i could cut it off , but then you would n't be able to wear it again . chris : yeah . not sure if the bloodstain 's going to come out , so -- alison : well , try hydrogen peroxide . i got that covered , too . chris : you 're good to have around . alison : yeah . chris : okay . alison : let me see it . this may sting a little . chris : no , you have a gentle touch . alison : you know , this is the part of nursing i actually get . but if i stabbed you with a dart , would you want me passing you a scalpel in the middle of surgery ? chris : well , not if you 're wearing a blindfold . alison : just think , a routine appendectomy -- god knows what it would turn into . chris : yeah . maybe , like , a sex change . alison : okay . hold still . we are almost finished , christine . here we go . let me just get this . okay . there you go . i did n't even hit a vein . chris : yeah . the dart - throwing definitely needs work , but the nursing skills rock . alison : well , you 're an excellent patient . chris : do i get a lollipop ? alison : well , next you 'll want me to kiss your boo - boo . chris : well , sounds good to me . but do n't feel obligated . alison : no . you definitely deserve it . [ scene_break ] holden : you want some more ? carly : no , i 'm good . holden : what 's the matter ? you do n't like it ? carly : are you kidding ? no . i used to live on that stuff back in montana . holden : hmm , i 'm sure you did . we better get back home before it gets too late . carly : yeah . i have to fix supper for those kids . holden : want me to send over some beef jerky ? carly : no , that would really scare sage . come on . [ horse neighs ] holden : i think we might have a problem here . i think angie might have sprained her hind leg , probably chasing you showboating over that fence . carly : oh , it 's my fault ? holden : no , no . she favors that leg . i should have been more careful with her . carly : will she be all right ? holden : yeah , i think so . but just to be on the safe side , i should probably walk her back . carly : the whole way ? come on , holden . why do n't you ride with us ? [ scene_break ] meg : honestly , i think i 'm doing the right thing . paul seems to be in a better place . mike : i hope you 're right , but i do n't trust the guy . meg : well , i 'm going with my gut on this one . mike : meg , you are a great person . you 're patient , forgiving , but i do n't think paul deserves this kind of a chance . what if he screwed it up again ? paul : well , i 'm going to try not to . look , mike , i understand why you 're skeptical . really , i lack self - discipline , but it 's something that i 'm working on , and now that we 're business partners , i 'm hoping that i can show you with my actions instead of just -- instead of just words . mike : well , i 'm willing to meet you halfway . paul : you know , we 're having a party here tomorrow night , and before you got here , i invited meg . but it would be great if you could come , too , mike . you want to come to a party ? [ scene_break ] holden : you do n't mind , do you ? carly : not at all . holden : you comfortable ? carly : uh - huh . how about you ? holden : i 'm good . [ scene_break ] paul : mike , think of it this way . it might be really good for business . i mean , anybody that can come to a fancy jewelry party is probably somebody that can afford to buy an ecofriendly home like the one we 're building out at the snyder farm . might be something that 's really great for emma . meg : paul may be right . mike : i 'll think about it . here . i need you to sign these work orders . paul : you got it . look , you know what ? i 'm gon na sign these papers without even reading the fine print . that 's how , like , calm i am about everything , you know , because mike -- he 's an honorable guy . he 's trustworthy . and all i 'm asking for is a chance to show you that i can be seen in the same light . see you guys at the party . meg : i think we should go together . it might be fun . mike : i just -- i ca n't figure out why paul would invite me . i mean , does n't he usually want you all to himself ? [ scene_break ] holden : ohh . carly : why are we stopping ? holden : to give angie a rest . carly : you know , poor zeke here is gon na be on crutches after lugging us all the way back . holden : no , zeke 's tough . besides , you 're light . you do n't count . carly : is that right ? even after eating all that beef jerky ? [ holden laughs ] holden : that stuff was disgusting . i only ate it because you did . carly : really ? are you serious ? that 's something one of my kids would do , you know . holden : are you calling me a kid ? carly : i guess so . holden : let 's go . carly : do you ever ride with lily ? holden : not in years , actually . carly : you should . you know , you do something outdoors , it 's -- you 're not on anyone 's turf , you know ? you 're on neutral ground . it can help communicate , you know ? i do n't want to sound like a shrink . holden : no , i appreciate that . when i see lily , i 'll , uh -- i 'll talk to her about it . [ scene_break ] barbara : hi , honey . paul : hey . barbara : hey . sofie : hi . how 's it going ? paul : oh , great . i just met with the caterer , and we 're all set . how you feeling ? barbara : i 'm -- i 'm okay . i 'm okay . sofie suggested we stop in for a cup of tea , and i wanted to see how the party preparations were coming . paul : everything 's under control , and with any luck , we 'll be able to add two more names to the guest list . barbara : oh , really ? great , who ? paul : mike kasnoff and meg snyder . [ scene_break ] mike : there 's a reason that i make paul sign every work order that i get . with any other partner , a verbal agreement would be fine , but with paul , it 's different . i need it in writing so he does n't pull a fast one , and you should do the same thing . meg : i know . you 're right . it 's one thing to drop the restraining order . it 's another thing to let myself get too involved again . mike : so you 'll be careful ? meg : i have to be . i 've been burned too many times to let it happen again . [ scene_break ] alison : i 'm sorry . okay , i ca n't . i ca n't , i ca n't . i do n't know what 's wrong with me . i never should 've let it go this far . i do n't know why i keep doing this . chris : that 's what i would like to know . alison : i just -- i just felt so close to you today that i thought i could go through with it this time , but i ca n't . please do n't be upset with me . chris : what 's your problem , alison ? are you deliberately trying to torture me or what ? [ scene_break ] carly : i 'm sorry that lily took the kids and moved away from the farm . i know that my advice had a lot to do with it . holden : carly , i do n't blame you or lily for what happened . i 'm just trying to make the best of it . i 'm hoping that , over time , things will get better . carly : i hope so , too . you know , i only want what 's best for you , holden . holden : thanks , carly . i appreciate that . [ scene_break ] chris : it just feels like you 're trying to get back at me for something so you come here , you get me all turned on , and then you just shut down . does it give you some sort of sick thrill to watch me sweat ? alison : i swear , i did n't mean to do that again . chris : is it because i slept with emily ? alison : no , i told you , it has nothing to do with my sister . please , chris , just understand . this is nothing against you . i just -- i just do n't really feel good enough about myself right now . chris : why do n't i believe that ? am i really supposed to understand you ca n't be with me but you can get it on with some guy when the cameras are rolling ? you know , porn -- porn is okay , but making love to someone who really cares about you -- that 's just a deal breaker , right ? [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] aaron : alison , what happened to you ? alison : i did n't know where else to go . can i come in ? aaron : yeah , yeah , yeah . come in . i just -- i just got your message , and i heard you passed your exam , but you do n't look very happy about it . alison : i really messed up . aaron : hey , at least you did n't flunk out , right ? alison : it 's not about the exam , aaron . aaron : someone saw you at the hospital leave with chris hughes . what did that jerk do now ? [ scene_break ] susan : chris , what are you doing ? chris : trying to inoculate myself . susan : against what ? chris : your daughter , alison . [ scene_break ] alison : so i went home with him , and we both got a little carried away . and we were kissing on the bed , and then when i tried to stop chris , he just really lost it . aaron : who the hell does he think he is ? i mean , if you said no , then he 's got to respect that . alison : yeah , but i get why he did n't , aaron . i 've been sending him mixed signals , and this is n't the first time . maybe chris is right . maybe i should see a shrink . aaron : no , no , no , no . no way , okay ? this is not your fault , okay ? it 's chris , and he should know not to push you if you 're not ready . alison : he did n't even push me that hard . but he just got so angry . and he said -- he said terrible things . aaron : what ? what did he say to you ? alison : he knows i did porn . and he said that if i could do it with a stranger on camera , then why could n't i -- aaron : how does he get off talking to you this way ? alison : i felt so ashamed . aaron : you have nothing to be ashamed about , okay ? you made some mistakes -- that 's fine -- but that does n't give him any reason to treat you like dirt . alison : what he said was awful , but i was awful , too , to keep leading him on . i do n't know why i do that . i think i 'm fine and i think i want to be with to him , but then all of a sudden , i just freeze . aaron : listen , alison , i do n't -- i do n't have all the answers , okay ? but it might just be this simple . maybe you just do n't care about him enough . [ scene_break ] barbara : um , i 'm gon na go find lisa and see if she has press passes for tomorrow night , okay ? paul : okay , okay . two more seats for mike and meg -- do n't forget . barbara : i -- i know . mike : let 's get out of here , okay ? paul : uh , did you two get a chance to think about what you wanted to do tomorrow night ? meg : uh , we 'd love to come . thank you for inviting us . paul : no problem . i 'll look forward to seeing you both . sofie : so , why did you invite them , paul ? paul : it 's time to let bygones be bygones . sofie : oh . so , meg and mike are coming together ? mike : i need to be honest with you , meg . am i just gon na be acting like some sort of a beard , an escort , so that paul can have some face time with you ? because if that 's the deal , you can count me out . [ scene_break ] holden : well , angie made it back . good girl . carly : she gon na be all right ? holden : yeah , i think so . she 's pretty tough . that 's what i like about her . let me help you down . so , here we are . [ scene_break ] meg : okay , call me crazy , but i am giving paul the benefit of the doubt . mike : sounds crazy to me . meg : look , he gave us an olive branch . we should just accept it and see if he behaves himself at the party . mike : i still think that paul only invited us to get you there . meg : well , then , i have a little surprise for paul , because i am not going to the party to be with paul . you and i are going together , and i intend to make sure that we enjoy ourselves together . mike : you mean , like , a date ? meg : yeah , why not ? mike : well , now that you put it that way , count me in . meg : i can always count on you , mike . [ scene_break ] paul : thank you . sofie : it was very nice of you to invite mike and meg . i 'm sure they 'll have a lovely time at the party . paul : yeah , they 're gon na have a great time . [ scene_break ] alison : thank you for listening , aaron . and for saying what you did about chris . maybe i 've just been expecting myself to have feelings for him that i just do n't have anymore . and that 's why , when we get to that certain point , it does n't feel right . aaron : so , then do n't let him make you feel guilty . you have to do what 's best for yourself . alison : i know . i just wish i did n't feel so confused all the time . you know , sometimes , i think the problem is n't chris , but it 's me . i get , i do n't know , scared . aaron : scared of what ? alison : myself . my life . school . it just can get so overwhelming . it wears you down , you know ? like , right now , i am just so exhausted . i feel like i could sleep for days . aaron : so , then do it . take it easy . sleep for days . alison : i would , but really ca n't stand the thought of going home right now and seeing my mother after this disaster with chris . she should have a big `` i told you so `` tattooed on her forehead . aaron : well , you can always stay here . alison : with you ? aaron : yeah . i mean , you know what i 'm saying . grandma 's got a ton of rooms upstairs . you find a room , you chill out . alison : no , i ca n't . what would emma say ? aaron : grandma would probably say , `` if a friend needs you , then you take care of her . `` [ scene_break ] susan : now , the least you can do is give me an explanation . chris : thanks . susan : do n't mention it . now , how did my daughter expose you to tetanus ? chris : she stabbed me with a dart . susan : why ? what did you do to her ? chris : nothing . it was an accident . susan : then why are you so set ? chris : because i ca n't win with her . no matter what i do . if i give her space , if i 'm there for her , if i 'm not there for her -- it just does n't matter . she keeps setting up these situations where i think we 're getting somewhere , and then she 'll just kick me to the curb , and you know what ? i 'm just -- i 'm just sick and tired of it . susan : well , no matter what happened , there are always two sides to it . chris : yeah . and i 'm always wrong , ask alison . susan : i will . where is she , by the way ? chris : i have no idea . and you know what ? i do n't give a damn . [ scene_break ] henry : well , i was flabbergasted to hear about the snyder farm project . i never thought , in a million years , that emma would give up with land . mike : yeah , especially to an evil developer like me . henry : one of these days , you 're gon na have to tell me how you talked her into it . mike : i did n't really do that much talking . henry : really ? it was just your manly charm , mike ? come on . emma does n't fall for that sort of thing . mike : i 'm like catnip to women . i really am . now that i 've conquered the mother , i think i may move on to the daughter . henry : meg ? are you serious ? mike : i 'm taking her to a party tomorrow night , if you call that serious . henry : does paul ryan know about this ? mike : he invited us . henry : oh , boy . i do n't like this . i do n't like this at all , mike . mike : why not ? henry : um , i do n't know if you 've noticed , but paul can be quite possessive , in the psychotic sense . mike : meg says he 's changed . henry : okay , all right . before you take that to heart , make sure you have a note from his shrink . mike : yeah , thanks , henry . ca n't you just , you know , be happy for me ? i mean , this is the first date i 've had with a beautiful woman in months . henry : right , and the last beautiful woman in your life stomped on your heart pretty badly , as i recall . mike : if you 're talking about katie , i am finally over her . so just say `` congratulations , mike . `` and get me some ketchup . henry : congratulations , mike . i hope you have a wonderful time tomorrow night . and carry a weapon , just in case . [ scene_break ] carly : so , what time is good for you tomorrow ? i mean , if i can talk sage into coming out for one of your horse - appreciation classes . holden : tomorrow . tomorrow 's actually no good . i , uh -- i might be busy . carly : oh . okay . well , thanks for the ride . see you around . [ scene_break ] announcer : on the next `` as the world turns , `` luke : do you think he 'd hurt her ? noah : luke , i think he 'd hurt whoever got in his way . colonel mayer : do n't you dare go against me , boy . noah : where 's ameera ? tell me where she is ! meg : alison stayed at the farm last night with aaron . paul : i was thinking about how nice it would be to kiss you .
sage does n't want to ride any horses after all so carly and holden enjoy a horse ride by the farm themselves . meg goes to see how barbara is , but she finds paul instead ; paul invites her to sophie 's jewelry unveiling party , but meg is unsure and a bit bothered that they are working together . paul apologizes for what happened and explains that he and sophie are strictly business partners . sophie seems to be more interested if paul will be attending her jewelry showing party then anything else ; barbara has to continue to explain that he is not interested in anything more then her success in making a jewelry line . meg tells paul she has to do one thing before she makes a decision . allison is overjoyed to learn she passed her latest test and calls aaron to thank him for sending meg her way to tutor her . chris shows up to take her out to celebrate . carly and holden have fun on their horse ride , but holden 's horse 's leg is bothering him so he is forced to ride with carly on her horse ; being in such close proximity seems to make holden and carly strangely happy but awkward . meg tells paul that she rescinded the retraining order . mike shows up , sees paul and meg together , and is not happy . meg explains the situation , but mike is leery . paul tries to prove he has changed by inviting them both to sophie 's jewelry party . allison hits chris with a dart so they head to his house to fix him up . aaron shows up to see allison and is disappointed to hear she left with chris . when carly and holden continue to be in close quarters , carly brings up lily . at chris ' room , things get heated between him and allison , but allison again puts on the brakes . chris gets upset and says some hurtful words , which send allison running out . sophie is unsure what to do about paul 's invite ; she stresses nonchalantly that meg and mike appear to be going to the party together . holden helps carly off her horse and she winds up in his arms ; they hold each other 's gaze before they look away uncomfortably . allison goes to see aaron , as she vents about what she is doing to herself and chris . aaron thinks she may be forcing feelings where there really are n't any anymore for chris and that is why she keeps pulling away from him ; allison wonders if he is right ? mike does n't want to be used by meg for face time with paul ; meg tells him to consider it a date . chris tells susan that he is tired of the way allison has been treating him . when allison does n't want to go home , aaron offers her a room at the farm . mike excitedly tells henry about his date with meg . henry is leery since paul and meg are a force . carly asks holden if he can take sage riding tomorrow , but he balks saying that he is busy . carly walks away unsure what is going on , but she and holden give each other a backward glance .
luke : grandmother . lucinda : hey . you startled me . i was day -- daydreaming . at least my heart 's still ticking . [ luke chuckles ] lucinda : hey . mwah ! good to see you . well , how 's noah ? give me an update . luke : oh , he 's -- he 's doing better . he can see colors and lights . lucinda : that 's wonderful . and when do we expect more ? luke : i do n't know . lucinda : well , do n't know ? have you asked the doctor , that nice dr. oliver ? lily : oh . i thought i heard voices out here . has anybody seen gabriel ? lucinda : no . [ lucinda laughs ] lucinda : why on earth would we see him ? luke : you mean the -- the kid that got hurt in that fire ? lily : he 's craig 's son . luke : what ? lucinda : uh , yes . no one was meant to know , meaning craig was not meant to know , but your mother has more faith in craig than the rest of us have . lily : mother , i do n't want to hear it , okay ? we should have never kept gabriel 's secret for all these years . and now i 'm gon na do everything i can to make it up to that boy . which is why i have offered him a place to stay . luke : i 'm so confused . lily : it 's a long story . lucinda : it 's a very long story . lily : i 'll explain it to you when we find him . luke : okay . well , do you want me to go look for him out back ? lily : thanks . lucinda : darling , please , do n't let your bleeding heart put your children 's lives in danger . lily : the way we put craig 's son in danger ? lucinda : uh -- and please let me make another point emphatically . gabriel caras can not be trusted . lily : mother , he has nowhere else to go , and craig ca n't help him from a jail cell . lucinda : he ca n't kill him either . lily : mother ! lucinda : well , i 'm not going to pretend that this boy , gabriel , is the first child that craig has disappointed as a father .

[ scene_break ] lucinda : lily , i 'm warning you , do n't get involved in this mess with craig . craig may be in jail , but he can still cause trouble . and if you bring his kid into this house , there 's gon na be trouble . lily : i owe them both this much . lucinda : you owe them nothing ! if craig had been a decent man , if he had n't been married to sierra at the time , we would have done something different 20 years ago . as for the boy , gabriel caras is -- well , he 's damaged goods . it 's too late to change that . lily : so what would you have me do ? hand him bus fare and let him walk out of here with no family , no support , no connection to anyone ? lucinda : okay , you have regrets . join -- join the club . but , lily , what are you really doing ? what is it you really want out of this ? do you want repentance ? do you want , uh , atonement ? what do you want ? lily : all of it . lucinda : well , dear , a nice home and a home - cooked meal and a nice pillow is never gon na get that kid to bless you . lily : maybe i do n't deserve it . craig did nothing wrong . lucinda : did nothing wrong ? his whole life has been wrong . and -- [ lucinda sighs ] -- gabriel said craig tried to kill him ! is that the way a father behaves ? is that the kind of man that you want to have compassion for ? lily : craig would never try to hurt his child -- never -- not after the way he felt when he lost bryant . you saw the way he fought for custody of johnny . he would do anything for a chance to be a father to gabriel -- anything . lucinda : i love you with all my heart , but denial does no good . cut gabriel loose before he does serious damage to your family . lily : did you find him ? luke : he 's gone . and so is your car . [ scene_break ] jack : okay . [ jack laughs ] maybe -- maybe we should n't , 'cause there 's a lot for us to talk about ? carly : oh , there 's no amount of talking that 's gon na change the way i feel . jack : yes , darling , but jumping into bed together -- carly : mm . that 's not what we 're doing . oh , i love you , jack . i 've missed you , jack .

[ scene_break ] gabriel : am i in jail , or am i in hell ? look , look , you got to get me out , okay ? this guy tried to kill me . craig : are you all right ? should you even be out of the hospital ? gabriel , please , talk to me . why are you locked up ? gabriel : i 'm a serial killer . huh , you still want to play house ? craig : lose the sarcasm . i might actually be able to help you . gabriel : i can handle myself . craig : well , that 's what family 's for -- so you do n't have to go through things on your own . gabriel : your own sister put you in here . so why do n't you stick to your side of the cell , i 'll stick to mine ? craig : we might as well use the time to get to know one another . you 've gone all this time without a father . here i am . gabriel : if i really wanted a father , you think i 'd want someone like you ? [ scene_break ] jack : liberty 's at the station . gabriel was arrested for driving a stolen car , and apparently liberty was involved . carly : was she arrested , too ? jack : no , not yet , but that 's what janet 's afraid of . so -- liberty needs me . carly : maybe you should n't go . maybe you should n't get involved at all . margo took you off this case . jack : this is n't about gabriel though , carly . carly : they cleared parker . maybe he 's gon na use that as leverage to get out of whatever trouble he 's in now . jack : you know that 's never gon na happen . carly : well , he 's craig 's son . anything is possible . jack : this does n't involve craig . liberty needs me . she 's in trouble . carly : i wish you could stay . jack : yeah , me too . it 's killing me leaving you like this . but liberty could be in trouble . carly : in that case , i 'm going with you .

[ cell phone rings ] lily : hello . yes , this is lily walsh . yes . yes , i 'll -- i 'll be right there . lucinda : do n't tell me . the police . lily : they stopped gabriel driving my car on the other side of town . lucinda : now will you listen to me ? will you cut that boy loose ? [ scene_break ] reid : well , i ca n't justify keeping you in a hospital bed when there are sick people who need it . noah : seriously ? i -- i can go home ? reid : you 're gon na have to come in for follow - ups , but i am officially discharging you today . noah : does this mean that this is the best my vision is gon na get ? reid : i 'm not a psychic . noah : but you do have an opinion . reid : recovery from an injury like this is n't a slow , steady kind of thing . sometimes the lights come on all at once . sometimes they do n't . by ama standards , the surgery 's already a success . noah : okay , i do n't care about the standards . i just want to see again . reid : i want the same thing . noah : so , you know , what can we do to make that happen ? reid : well , assume that your vision 's going to improve . do the therapy . use the drops i gave you . try not to be an idiot . you know how to do that , right ? noah : yeah , sometimes . reid : look , i 'm reasonably optimistic . noah : whoa . i have n't heard you use the `` o `` word before . reid : all right . keep it down . do n't let it get around . it 's gon na ruin my reputation . you gon na call luke , see if he 'll pick you up ? noah : uh , no . uh , i ca n't bother him now . my friend richard 's coming to visit anyway , so i 'm sure i can talk him in to giving me a ride . richard : hey , noah , i 'm out here when you 're done . noah : perfect timing . they 're letting me go . reid : all right . good luck , noah . noah : thank you . richard : who 's the hot doctor ? noah : dr. oliver 's hot ? richard : uh , yeah . noah : huh . i mean , i had no idea . i wonder why luke never said anything . [ scene_break ] luke : excuse me . have you seen gabriel caras ? is he in his room ? clerk : he 's still in the hospital . we 've been holding his mail for him . luke : no , he 's been discharged . um , if you see him , will you call my mom ? reid : hey . can i buy you a club soda , or is it too early in the day for that ? luke : actually , i ca n't . uh , gabriel caras is missing . he may have stolen my mom 's car . reid : oh , wow . always good to know that i 've helped a young man return to a life of crime . [ luke chuckles ] reid : he should n't be driving yet , you know ? luke : yeah , i know . my mom 's really worried . reid : about her car ? luke : you 're still not much of a people person , are you ? reid : i 'm trying . listen , i should tell you that noah 's being discharged today . luke : already ? reid : yeah . he 'll be all right , as long as he does n't do anything too physical . luke : well , why did n't he call me to take him home ? i guess he does n't want me there . reid : no , he said that he just -- he did n't want to bother you . luke : well , why would he think that ? you know what ? it does n't matter . the only thing that matters is that noah 's getting better . reid : yeah . come on . i 'll help you look for gabriel . luke : you do n't need to feel sorry for me . reid : i do n't . i just ca n't think of a better way to spend a day than tracking down a car thief . [ scene_break ] liberty : the car was n't stolen . gabriel just borrowed it . and i did n't even know that when he picked me up . janet : where were you two going ? [ liberty remembering ] gabriel : look , i just want to get out of town and start over with you . [ scene_break ] liberty : we were just taking a ride . no big deal . jack : i 'll check with the arresting officer , see if there 's some way we can fix this . janet : he just got out of the hospital . liberty : well , you know what hospitals are like . you go stir - crazy . you make lists of things you want to do when you 're gon na get out , and that 's all today was . jack : liberty 's not gon na be charged with anything . janet : good . can i take her home ? liberty : i ca n't go home yet . what 's gon na happen to gabriel ? janet : let jack worry about that , okay ? i just want to get you home before the arresting officer decides to change his mind . liberty : jack , will you let me know what happens ? carly : so , what do you think ? do you think gabriel was leaving town ? jack : i 'm not sure . carly : well , we need him to stay . we need him to testify against craig . [ scene_break ] craig : do n't pass judgment on me just yet . you do n't know anything about me . gabriel : i know more than i want to . craig : why did n't you tell me who you were ? gabriel : because then you would n't have shown me the real you , all right ? so i just watched you from a distance . craig : you set me up . gabriel : how ? i was just an observer . you 're the one stealing millions of dollars from a kid who trusted you and -- and lying to a woman who you supposedly loved and then starting a fire to cover it up ! okay ? you 're worse than i even imagined ! craig : everything i did i did for carly . that 's why monte carlo even existed . as for the trust fund , i always intended to pay that back . ellis stole that from me . if it had n't been for him , all of this would have worked out just fine . gabriel : no , no , no . do n't blame this on ellis , okay ? it 's not his fault . you 're the one who 's ruining people 's lives . craig : well , that kind of makes you a chip off the old block , then , does n't it , kid ? you blackmailed me like a pro . so do n't pretend that you do n't like getting your hands dirty . gabriel : no . it was never about the money . okay , yeah , it was cool having a new car and renting that plane for liberty , but that 's not why i did it . craig : do n't tell me . you wanted to watch me squirm . and now you 're going to enjoy watching me go down for something i did n't do . gabriel : you said it , not me , dad . [ scene_break ] luke : this is pointless . if gabriel was desperate enough to steal a car , he must be long gone by now . reid : and leave oakdale ? has the boy gone mad ? [ luke chuckles ] luke : shut up . oakdale 's not that bad . even you have to admit it . reid : no , it 's a dump . but , you know , even a disaster like oakdale has its attractions .

[ scene_break ] craig : i do n't deny that i am a deeply flawed human being . i know you wanted to punish me for not being there for you and for not treating your mother with the -- love and respect that she really deserved . gabriel : okay , at least you can admit that much . craig : and i 'll gladly take the blame for all those things . but you ca n't get away with making false accusations about me . i did not see you the day of the fire at monte carlo , and i certainly did n't leave you there to die . gabriel : you were there because i said you were there , okay ? game over , pops . i win . craig : you are cocky for someone so young . do n't take me on , kid . you wo n't like what happens next . gabriel : i think i 'll take that risk . help me ! help me ! craig : what are you doing ? gabriel : help me ! he 's trying to kill me ! aah ! lucinda : craig ! craig ! for all the moments that make every day special . gabriel : get that maniac away from me . he tried to intimidate me so i would n't testify against him . craig : i did no such thing ! he 's conning you ! cop 1 : keep your distance . lucinda : craig , you are shameless . craig : who let the battle ax in here ? lucinda : do n't -- are you gon na let him talk to me like that ? cop 1 : everybody , pipe down . lucinda : i 'm not having that from you ! i 'm not gon na have it ! cop 2 : you 're being released . gabriel : i think i 'm gon na have to try to see a doctor now . craig : gabriel -- you 're clever and quick , but you 've set things in motion that you may not be able to stop , and you will regret it . gabriel : i doubt it . craig : i was cocky when i was young , too . but you get older , and you realize that family is really all you have . kid , i 'm it . lucinda : that was so moving . but it 's just too late . you 're never gon na be a father to that young man .

mike : yeah . jack : what 's this ? that katie 's ? mike : i do n't think so . jack : wait a minute , mike . that 's carly 's . mike : what 's it doing out here ? they must 've taken katie 's car and carly dropped her purse . he 's been having problems with the starter i told him i would fix it . all right , i 'm going to go back to the house . they could be upstairs , maybe they just did n't hear us . jack : while you 're at it ? check and see if nick 's things are still there . carly : so where are we going , nick ? katie : you know they 're looking for us . nick : you know , if you two girls are trying to tick me off , you 're doing a real good job at it . katie : okay , nick , why do n't you just let us go ? take the car . by the time we walk out of here , you 're gon na be long gone . nick : no , it 's too late . katie : too late for what ? nick : it 's your own damn fault . you could n't let well enough alone . katie : my fault ? nick : both of you . you two had to start snooping around , trying to play detective . if mike would n't have started digging into that wall in the first place . carly : how about if you had n't killed anybody in the first place ? nick : nobody would have known , nobody cared ! mike was home free . do n't you get it ? the case was dying . but then you two had to go sticking your nose in it . katie : well , if you think i 'm going to apologize for defending my husband , then you 're definitely -- nick : fine , you did what you did and now look where you are . katie : what do you mean ? how long are you going to hold us hostage , nick ? nick : i do n't know . hi , enterprise ? damian : i give you my word , son . if you truly want nothing to do with me , i 'll go . and as painful as it would be to lose you again , i 'll stay away . i 'll never contact you again . it 's up to you . luke : none of this is up to me . fine . whatever , you can go or you can stay . i do n't -- i do n't care . i do n't give a damn . lily : where 're you going ? luke : upstairs ! lily : i 'm sorry , he 's obviously very upset about being followed . can you blame him ? damian : it 's more than that . he 's unhappy deep in his heart . and for a young man with his whole future ahead of him , the whole world at his fingertips , it 's very sad . gwen : what do you think , maddie ? dr. will ? casey : hold that thought . i 've got to ask you something first . maddie : yeah ? casey : yeah , c 'm on . gwen : so , how 'd the -- how 'd the calculus final go ? will : it 's over . and that 's what counts . gwen : i ca n't wait to see you in the cap and gown . casey : i 've been real caught up a lot lately , with getting the club up and running and now this party . and i know i have n't been around a lot . but it 's not because i 'm not into you , do n't ever think that . you 're my girl , ya know ? maddie : am i ? casey : absolutely . i mean , that is , if you still want to be . maddie : of course i want to be . casey : so will you go to the party with me ? maddie : the graduation party ? casey : well , gwen said you did n't know if you were invited -- jack : any sign of them ?

nick : it 's nobody 's fault . it was an accident . carly : that you made ten times worse by not reporting . katie : and you 're doing the same thing now . just let us go , please . you 're just making things worse , this is kidnapping . carly : and what do you get for kidnapping these days , nick ? what , about thirty years ? nick : i 'm not doing thirty days , not for this , not for any of it . katie : fine , then . let us go and make a run for it . we 're just gon na slow you down . nick : you 're going to explain to your friend here , carly , how it really works ? seeing how you 're so smart and all , being married to a cop . katie : what does he mean ? carly : nick is thinking that maybe -- maybe we could help him . katie : oh , right . you can forget about that , after what you did to mike . i 'm not helping you . nick : wrong answer . carly : we do n't have a choice , katie . we 're his hostages . he can use us any way he wants . nick : and you 're my ticket out of here . casey : whoa , all that for a party ? what ? maddie : you deserved it . you ignored me , and made me feel like i was -- casey : feel better ? maddie : yes . casey : good . cause i 've got to go . maddie : what ? casey : i 've got this parents ' committee about the party . but i 'll be back later , all right ? okay ? maddie : yeah . okay . hey ! gwen : where 's casey ? maddie : oh , he had to go to a meeting for the party , which i 'm officially going as his date ! gwen : ooh , i told you so ! maddie : yes . it was very sweet of you to talk to him . thank you . gwen : well , i have your back , and you have mine . besides , it would n't be the same without her . right , will ? will : of course not . gwen : you know what ? we should all go to graduation together . i ca n't believe that , you know , in just a week , this nightmare semester 's gon na be over . we 'll graduate , we 'll get jobs . we 'll find an apartment -- that is assuming that dr . will here passed calculus . but with you coaching him , it should n't be a problem . right ? maddie : right . will : it 'll be fine , gwen . do n't worry . lily : luke is a teenager . he 's a teenager ! when he 's up , he 's up . and when he 's down , he 's miserable . damian : it 's more than that . lily : do n't forget , he was gravely ill . he almost died . damian : and i ca n't imagine how frightening that must have been . but he 's recovered now . i 've watched him shoot baskets with his friends . he 's strong , healthy , a natural athlete . lily : yes . damian : and when he 's with his friends , lily , he 's happy . it 's when he comes home that everything seems to change . and you 're not happy , either . lily : holden and i are very happy . damian : i 'm not talking about your marriage . luke is angry at you . and you 're , what ? afraid ? disappointed ? lily : i 've never be disappointed in luke . he 's a wonderful , wonderful boy . damian : then what 's causing this distance between you ? huh ? and luke . what 's troubling you ? i saw it when i gave you the ring , and i talked about the grandchildren we 'll have someday . what is it , lily ? lily : i ca n't talk about it . damian : we 've always been able to confide in one another . we 've loved each other . we still do , in our own way . please , tell me what 's wrong . you owe it to me . i am his father . no matter what he says . and those bonds never break . lily : when you talk about luke having children -- that 's not going to happen . damian : why ? i thought the surgery was a success . lily : oh , he 's physically -- he 's perfectly fine . but when you talk about luke growing up , and falling in love , and getting married and having children with her -- it 's not going to happen the way that we thought . damian : why ? lily : luke thinks that he 's gay . jack : does katie keep an extra set of keys under her floor mat ? mike : no , i warned her not to . so whoever started the car must have hot - wired it . jack : looks that way . mike : katie would n't know how to do that . would carly ? jack : no . mike : what are we thinking -- nick wired it , and he 's got the girls now ? jack : carly would n't just drop her purse and leave it here . mike : you think she left it on purpose ? jack , nick is my cousin . he loves katie , he would never hurt her . and i know he 's got into it with carly , but i just do n't think he 'd -- jack : let 's not forget that we came here thinking your cousin murdered maya gold ! mike : so , what ? what , you 're thinking nick 's got the girls , and that he 's gon na kill again ? jack : yes , mike . that 's what i 'm thinking . nick : all right . see that stand of trees up there , on the right ? about half a mile up , you 're going to turn off . katie : do n't listen to him , carly . just keep driving . what 's he going to do , shoot us ? nick : if that 's what it takes , katie . carly : let it go , katie . you 're just banging your head against a really big tree . hey , so is this a dirt road that we 're taking , nick ? we should probably get our seatbelts on . nick : whatever . carly : is there anybody following us ? no ! announcer : on the next `` as the world turns `` -- gwen : there 's something wrong , and i want to know what it is . margo : you should n't go after nick on your own . jack : do n't worry . i 'm not worried about nick .
will and maddie disagree over will 's dishonesty with gwen over how he has now managed to graduate . gwen counsels casey on how he can handle his relationship with maddie better ; she thinks he should be more appreciative of her . this conversation causes casey to step up to the plate and ask maddie to the crash graduation party . things continue to be awkward between will and maddie , unknown to casey and gwen , as they butt heads over how will should handle the fact he bought his term paper . damian and luke come face to face and it is n't exactly a loving reunion . after luke storms off , damian is concerned about the hostility he is seeing in his son , and lily is forced to share with him that luke is gay . jack and mike talk to del who tells them about nick 's involvement in maya 's demise . mike had already started wondering about this considering some information he recently found out . they realize nick has taken all of his belongings , hotwired katie 's car , and that carly 's purse has been dropped on the garage floor , probably meaning he has both of them . they just do n't know where they all have gone . nick holds carly and katie at gunpoint . carly is starting to realize how dire the situation is becoming and is forced to explain that to katie who still thinks nick is just acting erratically . carly realizes it is up to her to stop nick because it is becoming apparent things are n't going to end well for them . katie takes carly 's cue , as they put their seat belts on and join hands as carly violently swerves the car off the road .
brad : to me being right . i love it . i knew you two would get back together . henry : i 'll drink to that . brad : my spidey senses are tingling . i 'm sensing a wedding in the future . that means that katie 's got to throw you another bachelor party , right ? henry : no bachelor party . vienna : no wedding . henry : no , we have decided to remain in lust and unwed . who 's that ? vienna : elizabeth . henry : your friend from europe ? vienna : mm - hmm . i 'll be right back . henry : okay . brad : so call katie . get her down here so we can get this party started . henry : i called katie . she 's busy . brad : busy doing what ? being depressed ? henry : no , she sounded fine to me . brad : poor kid . she 's just nursing her broken heart . henry : did she break up with jack ? when did this happen ? brad : hello ? carly 's back in town . henry : hello ? jack and carly are divorced . brad : like that means anything with those two . i give them two weeks -- tops . jack will get back together with carly , and katie will be out in the cold . henry : and you 'll be ? brad : primed and pumped to turn up the heat with katie . [ scene_break ] margo : do n't you have any questions about your kids ? do n't you want to know how they are ? carly : of course i do . and i ask jack those questions . margo : but it 's really much more important that you know who jack is dating . carly : do you know her or not ? margo : you got questions ? ask jack . carly : i have a right to know . margo : oh , right ? carly : i do , margo . this woman is not only involved with jack , she 's also involved with my children . margo : so it 's okay that jack is feeding your kids and clothing your kids and that he 's taking care of their every need , physical and emotional , but you spend all your time running from the cops with another man . and now you think you can come back -- carly : i just want to protect my children ! margo : by abandoning them ? really , really , fine mothering skills you 've got there , carly . carly : i am a good mother . margo : yeah . you would rather live the sweet life with your boyfriend than take care of those kids . so , whoever jack has taken up with , wo n't be hard to top you .

[ both chuckle ] carly : so , what was this fantastic idea you had ? craig : well , i 've had several since last we spoke . but the most important one is i think i 've come up with a name for our new line . it 's kind of a play on midnight sun . carly : and it is ? craig : midday sun . carly : oh . midday sun vitamin water . craig : what do you think ? carly : i think it could work . craig : beautiful ! feels like we picked up right where we left off . carly : but i ca n't be sure , of course , until i start working up some sketches . craig : oh , you 're kicking me out ? carly : as politely as i can . craig : okay , i 'll take the hint . but , you know , if you need anything or you want some more inspiration -- carly : i will absolutely call you . thanks . craig : bye . carly : bye . rosanna : you know , i think i 've picked more in five minutes than you have all day . paul ? paul : what ? rosanna : what 's wrong ? paul : i do n't like being separated from eliza like this . rosanna : you 're not separated . she 's up there with edna , cooling her little heels at the stand . paul : but i do n't know edna . rosanna : well , i do , and i know she may seem a little rough around the edges , but deep down , she 's a real sweetheart . paul : okay . and underneath that ? rosanna : she likes red meat . paul : i 'm gon na go . rosanna : no , no , no , no , no ! wait , wait , wait , wait ! come on . edna 's finally starting to accept you as one of us . the best thing you can do is just to let her take care of eliza for a little while . paul : yeah , you see , that 's just the thing . i 'm not one of you . i 'm gon na go get my little girl . meg : dusty , look , i 'm fine , okay ? i already told you it 's -- it 's nerves ! bonnie : are you sure , meg ? meg : yes ! yes . look , i 'm a nurse . i would know if something was wrong , and it 's not . bonnie : as much as i hate to agree with dusty , you do look a bit flushed . meg : look , it 's just stress , okay ? it 's gon na stop once i get my daughter back . damian : all right , then allow me to go with you . meg : no ! damian : i wo n't interfere . i 'll keep my distance . i promise . but i will feel better if i knew that you were n't going out there alone . dusty : i 'd feel better if you do n't go at all . meg : okay , you 're not gon na stop me , okay ? so do n't even try . i am not gon na lose my daughter again . dusty : what if you 're walking into a trap ? meg : the e - mail said to come alone , and i 'm gon na do exactly as they tell me to . now i need to go . paul : edna ? edna ! hey , stop ! what are you doing ? you are not going anywhere with my daughter ! carly : see , carly ? you can handle this . it 's not bad , actually . [ doorbell rings ] carly : you got to be kidding me . craig , what no -- gus ? what are you doing here ? did you follow me here ? do n't even answer that . just go , okay ? gus : but i brought the fun stuff . come on , so we can party . come on . carly : uh , no , i do n't want to party , gus . look , i 'm , uh -- i 'm sorry if i gave you the wrong impression . i really am . but i am not interested in -- in any of this , okay ? and , actually , i 'm doing some work , so you need to go , okay ? please , come on . gus : but did anybody tell you how beautiful you are ? carly : i 'm surprised you can tell with how red your eyes are . now i mean it . you have to go , or i 'm going to call the cops . gus : oh , wait . you were so nice to me before down at yo 's . carly : yeah , clearly that was a mistake . gus : well , it does n't have to be . we could make it right . carly : no , don't . okay , don't . parker : get your hands off my mother ! get the hell out ! gus : whoa ! carly : oh , parker , i 'm so sorry . parker : who was that ? carly : i do n't know . i do n't know . he must have followed me from the art store . parker : yeah . or maybe you met him at yo 's ? carly : what ? no . parker : i heard him , mom . about how nice you were to him before . carly : oh , my god . parker : so do n't even try to tell me that you met him at the art store , mom . you met him 'cause he was sitting on a bar stool right next to you . carly : it 's not like i was out getting wasted , parker . i had one drink . parker : only one ? carly : two . i had two drinks , but only because he bought one for me . parker : that guy bought you a drink ? and you let him ? carly : i did n't encourage him . he just did it . parker : well , you could have said no ! no wonder he followed you here . carly : do n't look at me like that . parker : you 're really starting to scare me , mom . carly : no , you do n't have anything to be scared of , parker . i swear . parker : mom , you 're picking up guys that you meet at bars ! carly : i did n't pick him up ! he followed me ! and it 's not gon na happen again , okay ? i promise . parker : you ca n't , can you ? carly : what do you mean ? parker : you may say that you 're going to stop drinking , and you really may mean it , but -- you can't . you ca n't stop . craig : she said she 's fine , craig . she 's fine . you 're just gon na have to trust her . carly : i do want to stop . i 've never wanted anything more in my life . parker : but you can't . carly : i will . parker : then why do n't you ? carly : because it 's -- it 's not that easy . parker : do you really need this ? carly : no . no , it 's -- it 's just that sometimes things happen , and i let them get to me , and i have a few drinks to take the edge off . and i know how this sounds . parker : why do you need to calm down ? is it because of things that i do ? carly : no . this has nothing to do with you . parker : yeah , but i know i make you mad . carly : well , i know i make you mad . but i love you . and i do know better than this . i do . parker : then why ca n't you stop ? carly : i keep telling myself to . and i try . but then something takes over , and i give in . i 'm sorry . i should n't be talking to you about this . honey , you 're too young to understand . you should n't understand . parker : no , it 's all right . i -- i kind of know what you 're talking about . carly : you do ? parker : yeah . i 'm sort of the same way . carly : please tell me you 're not drinking . parker : no , no , no , mom . it 's just -- it 's the way i am . i mean , i can hear myself being a jerk -- to you , to dad , to liberty -- and i tell myself that i need to stop , but -- but i ca n't , and i hear myself just -- i still act like an idiot . and i hurt people . i 'm sorry . carly : i know . i know you are . oh , parker , you are so much like me . and i am so sorry about that . paul : answer me . where the hell do you think you 're going with my little girl ? edna : where do you think ? i know what you 've done ! rosanna : okay , what 's going on , here ? paul ? paul : she was trying to take off with eliza . edna : i was bringing her back to her mama -- where she belongs . rosanna : what ? edna : i saw a video about this one on the internet . eliza 's mama made it . he kidnapped this child , and her mother was begging him to bring her home ! paul : eliza belongs with me . rosanna : is that where you were taking her ? edna : i sent her an e - mail . i arranged a place to meet her . paul : what ? where ? edna : nowheres around here . and i told her if she came alone , i would bring her the baby back . paul : you -- you -- you ca n't do that . edna : do n't you tell me what i can and can not do ! you 're lucky i have n't called the police ! rosanna : why did n't you call the police , edna ? edna : because i did n't want to bring any trouble to this community . but if you try to stop me from leaving , i will . i will call them right now . dusty : how you feeling ? meg : i 'm fine . i just got dizzy . bonnie : meg , you passed out . meg : that 's 'cause i did n't have enough to eat this morning , okay ? i 'll -- i 'll just grab something on the way to wisconsin . dusty : no , no , no , no . you 're going to the hospital , and you 're gon na get checked out . meg : no . i am going to get my daughter . dusty : you 're in no shape to travel . damian : i 'll go . dusty : i 'm going with you . meg : no , no ! neither of you is going ! do you hear me ? dusty : why not ? why ? meg : because ! whoever i 'm supposed to meet is expecting a woman , not the two of you ! bonnie : what if i went ? meg : bonnie -- bonnie : no . you said they 're expecting a woman . meg , let me go in your place . i might be less intimidating to them . dusty : if things get out of hand , how are you gon na protect yourself ? bonnie : i 'm a lawyer , dusty . dusty : you have no idea what you 're walking into . bonnie : no , if there 's negotiating to be done , i can do it . and if paul 's nearby , i can cut a deal with him , too . dusty : you think these guys can be reasoned with ? meg : dusty . are you sure you want to do this ? bonnie : i want to bring your little girl home , meg . meg : thank you . promise me you 'll be careful . bonnie : i will . dusty : what are you going to do ? meg : just going to sit here and wait . damian : i 'll take her upstairs . we 'll get something to eat , some room service , and she can rest until she gets stronger . dusty : what if that does n't do the trick ? damian : i 'll take her to the hospital , then . meg : damian -- damian : do n't fight me on this . please . you okay to walk ? meg : yeah , just -- just go slow . call me the minute you hear anything , okay ? bonnie : yeah , i will . i will . meg : thank you . bonnie : i 'd better get to wisconsin if i 'm going to make it in time . dusty : i 'm going with you . bonnie : the hell you are . paul : edna , please . please do n't call the police . edna : are you going to give me a reason to ? paul : just hear me out before you do anything . please . edna : i 'm listening . paul : okay , that video that you saw , if meg made it , it probably does n't make me look like the nicest guy in the world . edna : well , that would be one way to put it . paul : because i 'm not . you know , i 've done a lot of terrible things , and i 've -- i 've hurt a lot of people . but that little girl , having her , loving her , being her father has changed me . eliza -- she is the best of me . edna : well , i 'm sure her mama feels the same way . paul : yeah , maybe so , but she 's trying to take her away from me . and she has no legal right to do so . you can go in there and get back on the internet and check . i have legal custody . edna : yeah ? and if i do that , what else am i going to find out ? paul : well , that -- like i said , i 've done a lot of stupid things . and i 've hurt a lot of people , rosanna included . rosanna : paul -- paul : well , it 's true , is n't it ? but look at her . she 's trying to forgive me . and maybe that has something to do with being here . i do n't know . this -- this -- this -- this place -- it 's brought her some peace . and all i 'm asking is for the same thing . and not just for me , for eliza , too . she deserves peace , and if she goes back to oakdale , she 's never gon na have it . edna : do n't you think her mama deserves the same consideration ? paul : you want the truth ? edna : if you can find it . paul : she betrayed me . she broke my heart . edna : are you talking another man ? paul : yeah . i 'm talking about another man . and now he comes first . before anything , even the family that we built together . and i 'm this close . the only thing holding it together for me is that little girl . please do n't take her away from me . being here , i 've realized so much about myself . i 've questioned everything that used to be important , and i think it 's going to make me a better father to eliza . edna : you knew about all this ? rosanna : yeah , i did . edna : do n't make me regret this . paul : okay . it 's okay , baby girl . daddy 's here . daddy . rosanna : you know , i got to hand it to you , paul . you were pretty convincing . paul : well , the truth usually is . dusty : you ca n't do this alone . bonnie : why not ? because i 'm a woman ? dusty : because you have no idea what 's waiting for you on the other end . bonnie : maybe not . but at least i know i will not have to worry about you . dusty : worry about me ? doing what ? bonnie : i do n't know . pulling out a gun , shooting someone ? what 's your excuse going to be then , dusty ? dusty : public service . bonnie : mm - hmm . you want to perform a public service ? then stand down and let me do my job . carly : you know , sometimes i wonder if you were more like your father , if things would be easier for you . parker : you ever come up with an answer ? carly : no . parker : `` no `` as in `` it would n't be `` or `` no `` as in `` you do n't have an answer `` ? carly : i don't . i don't . i do n't let myself get that far . parker : why not ? carly : because i love who you are so much , i ca n't imagine you any other way . but i know that i 'm to blame for a lot of the pain you 're in right now . parker : mom -- carly : and i 'm sorry for that . parker : it 's okay . carly : i 'm really sorry . is it , really ? parker : mom , i 've hurt you , too . and i 'm sorry . carly : apology accepted . you know , maybe we can help each other . parker : help each other how ? carly : i think we 'd both feel better if we had somebody on our side who really understood who we are , how we think . i will accept the choices that you make in your life if you accept mine . parker : you need to quit drinking . but you haven't . carly : well , not in the way that other people like craig and your father want me to . they want me to go to these a.a . meetings . and i 've tried that . i have . it just does n't work for me . parker : yeah , well , you made me go to therapy when i did n't want to go . is n't that the same thing ? carly : did it work ? making you do something you did n't want to do ? parker : no . it pretty much sucked . carly : you see ? too much alike again . we need to do things in our own way , in our own time . parker : but with your drinking , i mean , should n't you be getting help ? carly : why ? because that 's what people expect of me ? are n't people telling you that you should be in school ? but you 're not because you know it 's not what you need right now . parker : and that 's okay with you ? carly : if you 're okay with the decisions i make for myself . parker : what about dad ? carly : sometimes , what people want you to do , and what you 're able to do , are n't the same thing . parker : mom , you need to get better . carly : i will . we both will . do n't get any popcorn on my couch . bonnie : what the hell are you doing here ? dusty : i 'm watching you . that 's some lean you got there . bonnie : no , i told you to stay in oakdale ! dusty : yeah , i know what you told me . so , where are they ? bonnie : i do n't know . maybe they saw you watching me , and you scared them off , dusty . dusty : or maybe they 're not coming at all . meg : she needs you . and she needs me . you 're a good father , paul . and there have been times where i may have forgotten that . and that was n't fair to you . or to her . rosanna : you know , if edna 's seen this , it means a lot of other people have , too . paul : so what ? rosanna : so the longer this video is out there , the harder it is for you to stay under the radar . paul : i 'll deal with it . rosanna : you 're still in love with her . paul : no . no . i 'm not . i 'm not in love with meg . not anymore . rosanna : do n't do that . paul : do n't do what ? rosanna : lie to yourself . paul : i 'm not lying to myself . rosanna : so you 're telling me that if she called you right now and said , `` come home . bring eliza home to me , and let 's get back together , `` that you would n't -- paul : she ca n't call me . i have a blocked number . it 's disposable . she has no way to reach me . rosanna : oh , come on , paul . paul : what ? what does it matter ? rosanna : what do you mean , `` what does it matter ? `` it matters that if you ran away with eliza because you 're jealous -- paul : i 'm not jealous . rosanna : or because you 're trying to get back at her for being with some other man , then what you 're doing is wrong , and you know that . paul : really ? what about what she did to me ? rosanna : well , that 's your problem . but it 's no reason to keep this little girl away from her mother . meg : why has n't she called ? you know , maybe i should call her . damian : no , no . meg : why ? damian : because we do n't know where she is , who she 's with . we do n't want to call her at the wrong time . meg : right . you 're right . i just hate waiting . i 'm burning up . damian : let me cool you down . dusty : give it up , bonnie . they 're not coming . bonnie : it 's because you scared them off , dusty . dusty : they 're over an hour late . this whole thing was a hoax . bonnie : just like you said it was ? go to hell . dusty : where you going ? bonnie : why ? you planning on following me again ? dusty : good luck to you , sweetheart . [ engine struggling ] bonnie : no . oh , come on . dusty : what ? bonnie : my car wo n't start . i need a ride into town . dusty : what happened to `` go to hell `` ? bonnie : you could still make it . just drop me off first . what are you waiting for ? drive . my car 's just down the road . i need a tow . it wo n't start . mechanic : got one truck , and it 's on a run right now . bonnie : well , how long am i going to have to wait ? mechanic : maybe an hour , two , tops . dusty : have fun . bonnie : no , wait . you ca n't just leave me here . dusty : sorry . i 'm under strict orders . i got to get down to hell . bonnie : oh , no , you don't . look around . this is hell . so you 're gon na stay right where you are . parker : what are you doing here ? craig : i thought your mom could use a snack . parker : yeah , well , she knows how to make her own coffee . craig : ah , but i brought cookies . where is she ? parker : she went to a meeting . craig : an a.a. meeting ? parker : at the hospital . craig : wow , i 'm impressed . parker : yeah , we talked , and we decided that she needs to get help . craig : well , all right . you done good , kid . i knew if anybody could get through to her , it would be you . i 'll just leave these here , then . do me a favor . parker : what ? craig : when she comes back , tell her i 'm proud of her . there 's plenty of cookies in there for two if you want . [ parker sighs ] carly : thank you . i just could n't deal with him right now . parker : you know he 's just gon na be back in another hour . carly : hey . we 're going to get through this , you know . as long as we have each other . parker : i know . carly : we do n't need anybody telling us how to fix what they think is wrong with us . okay ? paul : when i left with eliza , it was n't to get revenge on meg . rosanna : you know , i 'd like to believe that , paul , but -- paul : well , then believe it because it 's true . i would never use my little girl as a weapon . not ever . especially not against her mother . rosanna : well , i sincerely hope not . i 'm going to go see if edna needs any help . damian : how are you feeling ? meg : better , thanks . damian : good . you still have a fever . why do n't you try and get some rest ? meg : no . if bonnie calls -- damian : i 'll wake you . do n't worry . i 'll also call lily and let her know where you are . meg : thank you . [ cell phone ringing ] damian : hello ? is anyone there ? dusty : why do you want me to stick around ? to protect your pricey shoes from all the dirt ? bonnie : come on . you know what ? get over yourself . dusty : well , you 're the one who wants me to stick around . bonnie : well , it 's in case my car ca n't be fixed and i need a ride home , dusty . dusty : you get your ride , i 'll get mine . bonnie : look , look , if this whole eliza thing is just a big hoax , where do you have to be , anyways ? dusty : out there , looking for her . bonnie : come on , honestly , how long is it going to take to get my car in here for you to look at it ? mechanic : man , are all you people from illinois this impatient ? bonnie : it 's the water . dusty : wait a sec . you said , `` all you people from illinois . `` has someone else from illinois been here ? mechanic : mm - hmm . dusty : when ? mechanic : two or three days ago . dusty : was it a man with a baby ? a little baby girl ? mechanic : he was ticked we could n't fix his car fast enough . bonnie : oh , my god . dusty : paul 's here . next week on `` as the world turns -- `` vienna : tell him . brad : tell me what ? katie : i 'm pregnant . margo : it 's not possible . adam 's not dead . i would know . bonnie : that 's the baby i saw at the pharmacy . dusty : are you sure ? bonnie : now i 'm positive . we found eliza . rosanna : if you do n't want to bring eliza back home , and you dot want to get arrested , then you have got to get out of here now .
bonnie thanks dusty for keeping his distance from meg and letting the police handle things . damian gives meg some good news on the video that she had made in the search for paul and eliza . edna watches the video that meg had made . rosanna gives paul some chores to do as they both watch eliza . carly is in a bar , as usual . gus orders carly a drink , but carly refuses . craig visits carly . craig sees parker through the glass in the door and orders parker to open up . parker tells craig that carly is n't here . meg sees the video from edna telling her to meet her and she can have her daughter back . meg and damian hurry to go tell bonnie and dusty the news . everyone wants to go with meg , until meg becomes sick and passes out . bonnie agrees to go get eliza in meg 's place . paul catches up with edna just before she can leave with eliza . craig pitches his new idea to carly for the sparkling water , which is `` mid - day sun . `` gus visits carly and wants to pick up where they left off despite protests from carly . parker comes downstairs and forces gus to leave . parker accuses carly of drinking and picking up men in bars .
craig : carly tenney -- no , snyder . she 's missing , and you have to find her . any questions ? security guard # 1 : how long 's she been gone ? craig : she was last seen at hal munson 's house the night of the fashion show . security guard # 2 : lieutenant munson ? craig : yeah . he 's the father of her child . but not a suspect . my guess is that she 's just making herself scarce . but you never know . she might have gotten into some kind of trouble . left her car at hal munson 's house so check the cab companies , hotels , airplanes . she 's well - known , so somebody has to have seen her . security guard # 1 : we 'll find her . craig : good . keep me posted . thank you , gentlemen . emma : bye - bye . thank you . craig : thank you for the hospitality , emma . detectives are all over fairwinds . emma : i just do n't believe any of this business . rosanna could never have harmed carly . craig : no , of course she could n't . and jack 's out of what mind he 's got . but if he insists on looking for a corpse , i will find the living carly .

damian : that 's the last thing i expected to hear you say about our son . lily : i was as shocked at first to hear it as you obviously are . damian : i 've thought about luke so often . asked myself a million questions how he 's doing and how his life was . was he smart ? was he tall ? did he like school ? did he have a girlfriend ? yet , it never even once crossed my mind that he might be -- lily : gay ? you better get used to saying it . damian : when did he tell you ? lily : he told us about a few weeks ago . damian : just like that ? out of the blue ? lily : no . apparently , he 's been building up the courage to tell us 'cause he was afraid of how we were going to react . he thought we would be disappointed . damian : can you honestly tell me you 're not ? lily : i love him . no matter what ! i 'm just having a hard time wrapping my mind around the news . damian : i ca n't believe it . how is it possible ? what went wrong ? lily : there 's nothing wrong with my son ! damian : i 'm sorry . that 's not what i meant . i 'm just trying to -- look , obviously , luke is too young to be sure about this . i mean , he 's a teenager . he ca n't know now what the rest of his life is going to be . lily : yes , i told myself the exact same thing . that it was just a phase . that this was part of his journey growing up , on his journey becoming a man . finding himself . but the more that i talk to luke , that i realize this is not coming from confusion . damian : lily , it has to be . because my son is not gay . that 's just not possible .

[ scene_break ] luke : so , what did damian say when you told him i was gay ? i bet he freaked out . that 's probably why he left . lily : no , he was surprised . luke : yeah , well , now it gives him an even better excuse to avoid me . lily : he does n't want to avoid you . he 's come back to try to make peace . luke : yeah , with his straight son . but now that he knows i 'm gay , i bet all of his good intentions went right out the window . lily : no , no , no , no , it 's not -- it 's not like that at all . he just wants to get to know you , understand where all this is coming from . luke : yeah , so he can try to change my mind . lily : no , nothing like that at all , no . but he is concerned . he wants you to be happy . that 's it . luke : yeah , and i bet you set him straight on that one , right , mom ? because if it comes down to me being happy or not being gay , i think we both know which one you 'd choose . lily : room 1516 , please . holden snyder . no , no message . thank you .

[ scene_break ] gwen : come on , will . why would maddie tell me not to trust jade ? does she have -- she have the hots for you ? she make a pass ? you can tell me . i 'll beat her up . will : it 's nothing like that . it 's just all maddie . gwen : what do you mean ? will : i think she 's jealous of jade . gwen : jealous , why ? will : well , you know , jade helped me out with the biology paper , and maddie likes to think of herself as my one and only tutor . and so , jade was kind of stepping on her turf . gwen : no , no way . will : it 's the only thing that really makes sense . gwen : i do n't know , it just -- it does n't sound like maddie . will : yeah , i know it does n't , you know ? but she 's also been under a lot of stress lately . and people can do some crazy things when they 're under pressure . gwen : yeah , i guess . but still -- will : you know what ? i think we should just let it go . gwen : you 're right . you 're right , it 's none of my business . will : yeah , we 've got other things to think about . gwen : yeah . we 're graduating . and you did that . sure , you got a little help . but you wrote the paper . you passed the test . and maddie should be thrilled for you . and if she 's not , that 's her problem . [ scene_break ] katie : mike ? oh . mike : hey , hey , hey . katie , you okay ? katie : oh , mike , thank god ! yeah , i 'm fine now . oh , god , it was awful . nick was like this different person , someone that i never even met before . mike : did he hurt you ? katie : no , no . i got out of the car before he regained consciousness . but i 'm so worried about carly . she 's still in there , and she 's trapped , and if he comes to -- god , mike , i 'm so scared . mike : all right . they already sent out a search party , and jack left even before they did , all right ? he 'll make sure nick does n't hurt anyone . do n't worry . katie : okay . mike : okay ?

damian finds it incomprehensible that his son could be gay . he starts to question things : was luke too close to lily ? was holden a good father ? did holden hurt her and luke witnessed it ? lily explains that holden did leave her for another woman , but they are together and stronger now . their parenting skills were fine ; she resents him implying otherwise . she is having a hard time with luke 's admission as well and would like him to see a therapist , but holden thinks that will convince luke they think something is wrong with him . damian agrees to do it her way for now . the calculus exam grades are posted online , and maddie learns she got a lower grade then will did , and realized the paper was n't the only thing will cheated on . maddie connects the dots regarding jade 's involvement in helping will cheat . she confronts her when she sees her trying to blow nate off . later she warns gwen about her but wo n't explain why other then her connection to luke 's family . after the car accident , katie tries to wake carly up . carly 's legs are pinned , and when they are trying to get her out , nick awakens . carly nails him with a backwards- right punch and nick is out for the count again . mike and jack realize nick never turned in his service weapon and now they have to consider the possibility that he is armed and dangerous . katie runs for help and calls jack who is with margo and mike preparing to send out reinforcements . katie is able to give a vague description of where they are . gwen senses something is wrong with maddie , but agrees to drop it , promising maddie that there should be no secrets between them . will claims maddie is simply bent out of shape because he got a higher grade then she . luke apologizes to lily for accusing her of calling damian , but their talk goes sideways and soon luke is storming out . lily calls holden for help , but he is unavailable , so lily goes and finds damian . nick wo n't leave carly pinned in the car so jack can play hero to her . after he helps her out though , he ominously tells her he is n't going to leave without her . jack finds his and carly 's compass and goes looking for her . he finds the crash site of the car , yet carly and nick are nowhere to be found .
paul : sofie , this is not -- no , stop . this is not gon na happen . you need to put your clothes on , you need to go home . sofie : but i belong here with you . paul : no , you do n't . look , am i -- am i not being clear ? sofie : no . i heard what you said , but you would never have done all those things for me , investing in my business , throwing a party for me tonight . paul : it 's my job . sofie : no , it 's not just that . it 's not just that . you have feelings for me . the same feelings i have for you . paul : we 're friends , sofie . sofie : no , paul . paul , i love you . let me show you how much .

[ scene_break ] sofie : i want you , paul , and i know that no matter what you say , the last thing you want is for me to walk away , so why fight something that would make us both so happy ? paul : sofie . i ca n't be what you want me to be . listen to me . hey . you are a beautiful and talented , very sweet , young -- . sofie , stop . stop , stop ! stop it ! look , you need to get dressed , and you need to go . sofie : paul , why are you being such a hypocrite ? i know you want me as much as i want you . paul : what reality are you living in ? sofie : i felt it . i felt it when you kissed me . paul : i did n't kiss you ! sofie , i did n't kiss you , okay ? you kissed me . i had nothing to do with that . i do n't want to kiss you or make love with you or any of that . sofie : the look in your eyes -- paul : i feel sorry for you . sofie : no , no . no , that 's not the truth . paul : look , whatever feelings you think that i have for you , they 're -- it 's your imagination . i do n't -- i do n't want you . sofie : that 's a lie . that 's a lie . paul : look , we made love once . we had sex . it was a mistake . i told you that . sofie : then why ca n't you stay away from me ? paul : because my mother , who has cancer , asked me to plan you a party . i did that for her , and i wanted to protect my investment . look , i do n't know how you got the wrong idea about me . i have gone out of my way to keep from leading you on . sofie : you ca n't just -- you ca n't just will me to stop loving you . paul : loving ? sofie , i do n't love you . sofie : because of meg . because even though she wants nothing to do with you , you still have hope . even though she 's told you a million times that she 's not interested . you 're just like me . paul : no . no , there 's a difference . meg loved me once . the question for me is whether meg has stopped loving me . sofie : how many times and ways does she have to hurt you before you realize there 's no hope ? paul : oh geez , sofie , i do n't know . you tell me , how many times does somebody have to be told ? [ scene_break ] mike : sofie wants paul , and i think she 'll do anything to get what she wants . meg : well , she 's already tried that . mike : well , sure , she slept with him , but there 's still a whole playbook she has n't even cracked yet . meg : it does n't matter what sofie does . paul 's not interested in her . mike : and do you think he figured that out before or after he had sex with her ? meg : he made it quite clear that it was a one - night stand . mike : oh , nice . meg : he was n't cruel about it . mike : well i do n't think sofie got the message . the girl 's nuts about him . it was all over her face at the party . and she 's not going to give up just because paul says so . for a lonely girl like sofie , it only makes paul more attractive . meg : that may be true . but as much as she does n't want to admit it , she does know that paul was using her to get over me . mike : and is that what you were doing with me ?

[ scene_break ] jack : okay , look , now that the sun 's up , i want every inch of these woods and hills covered in a 20-mile radius . nick and carly have been missing for more than eight hours , which means they have a substantial lead . given the severity of the accident , i 'm pretty sure that one of them , if not both of them have been injured to the point that it would slow them down considerably . also , with the rainstorm that blew through here last night , it 's more than likely that they had to find shelter until morning . the bad news is , that same rain storm wiped out their tracks and scent , right ? so the dogs are useless . listen to me very carefully . nick is armed , and he 's been trained in marksmanship just like the rest of you . so take every precaution . do you understand me ? get out of here , go . thanks . and good luck . margo : you do n't look so good , jack . maybe you should take a rest . jack : i 'll rest when we find carly . and we will find carly . margo : what ? what is it ? jack : it looks like a scrap of carly 's shirt . margo : yeah , it does . and that 's blood . jack : yeah , thanks . keep doing what you 're doing , and keep me posted . over . margo : jack , we 've got officers out on atvs covering the north hills , and hal 's trying to arrange for additional choppers . jack : how many ? margo : i do n't know . as many as he can requisition . jack , we 're doing whatever we can . jack : yeah . but is it enough ? that 's what i want to know . how 's katie doing ? margo : she 's pretty beat up , but she 's gon na be okay . she 's still in the hospital . they 'll probably release her this afternoon . jack : well , let 's get somebody over there to get another statement from her . details might have come back to her that she did n't remember at first . margo : jack , i sent someone over this morning . jack : she might be more focused , her mind might be a little clearer . she might hit on something that nick said that might indicate where he was headed , that 's all . margo : yeah , yeah , i hope so . jack : fine , you know what ? i 'll go talk to her myself , margo ! margo : jack , come on , ramirez is on it . you can not be in ten different places at one time . you ca n't do it . jack : i know that ! i know that . but i 've been trying to call mike all morning , and he has n't returned any of my calls . i just need to know if nick mentioned about coming out to this part of the woods . if there was a place he could be reached on foot . margo : but do n't you think that mike is probably concentrating all of his efforts on katie right now ? he 's probably unplugged his cell phone . jack : yeah , well , katie 's back , and she 's fine . carly 's still out there someplace ! margo : jack , we 're doing whatever we can , okay ? jack : i know that . i 'm sorry . i know that . and i am glad that katie is safe and sound . i am . she was a real trooper helping us find this crash site . we just -- we just did n't get here in time , that 's all . margo : you know what ? you know what katie said ? katie also said that carly was on top of it . she 's thinking on her feet . come on , she 's tough . she 's a fighter . you know that better than anybody . jack : yeah , i do . and that 's what scares me . 'cause carly can play it too tough sometimes . i mean , she purposely got in an accident to slow nick down . she might have gotten herself killed in the process . that 's all . margo : you know what ? listen , let 's take comfort in the fact that carly got herself out of here under her own steam , all right ? she 's probably not that seriously injured . jack : there 's blood on her car seat , margo . and she 's out there with a killer . it 's hard to take comfort in much of anything right now . [ scene_break ] carly : damn it . come on , carly . you 've got to get out of here .

[ cell phone ringing ] oh , oh , oh -- must be jean georges . hold on one second . hold on , here it is . okay . jean georges ? oh , yes , bonjour . comment ca va ? jennifer : you 're not gon na really make me stay with her , are you ? dusty : i 'll take johnny to the doctor . i do n't think we want your mother making all the wedding plans , you know ? jennifer : but , why -- why do we need a wedding planner , anyway ? all i need to get married are you and johnny , and my wedding dress . dusty : well , if you 're serious about that , i 've got a great idea . let 's take johnny and get of here . we 'll make a run for it . [ johnny fussing ] we 'll get married tonight . yeah , huh , buddy ? [ scene_break ] waitress : your change ? meg : thank you . so what finally clinched the decision ? paul : jennifer and dusty decided to get married . so i crashed the engagement party . meg : was n't that just asking for trouble ? paul : i thought that if i caught jennifer in a moment of happiness , that it might be easier to get her to start thinking about forgiving me . meg : so did she ? paul : not by a long shot , no . meg : paul , i 'm sorry . paul : it was a dumb mistake . i should 've known better . meg : what happened ? paul : well , instead of pulling her closer , i just -- i pushed her even further away . she made a line in the sand . and she says that she does n't want to have anything to do with me ever again . meg : she does n't mean that . paul : you were n't there . it was worse than when she shut me out after everything that happened with johnny . meg : she said this out loud to everyone ? that must have been horrible . paul : no , actually , she was pretty calm about the whole thing . meg : which makes it worse . paul : it made me realize something , though . meg , i have no family left . all i have is you . and this baby . meg : so you decided you could n't let it go . paul : you always knew that i would n't be able to , even before i did . you said i would n't be able to abandon my child , and you were right . meg : the trouble is , i also know that emily ca n't let go , either . paul : no , no , no . i can take care of that . i 've got the law on my side . meg : maybe . paul : look , i ca n't do any of this without you . i need you . meg : oh , paul -- paul : i need you in my new life . look , i know what i 'm asking of you is ridiculous . i 'm being honest with you . and this is real . i want to be a father , and i want to start a family . and none of it makes any sense -- none of it 's complete without you . [ scene_break ] henry : good , so you 're gon na fight paul . good . good , good , good . i will help you do that , too . i 'm gon na march down to that custody hearing and swear under oath that the baby belongs to you and susan . and then i 'll make paul out to be hannibal lecter and caligula all rolled up into one . emily : henry , i appreciate your support . but i 'm not sure what 's going to happen . henry : what do you mean , you 're not sure what 's going to happen ? judges always side with the natural mother . and yeah , you may spend a little time in jail , but it 's not like paul has never spent time behind bars . he does n't have a leg to stand on here , em . you can win this fight . emily : i 'm not sure fighting 's the way . henry : oh , fighting is the way . fighting is the only way . emily : yeah , well , not if it alienates paul forever . henry : you say that like it 's a bad thing . emily : will you just hear me out here , okay ? meg barged in here the other night and accused me of putting out the sonogram picture so paul would see it . henry : why would she say you would do something like that ? emily : to get paul back . henry : that just proves how off base she is . because the last thing that you 'd want is to have paul back in your life , right ? that 's true , right ? emily : see , i just do n't think meg and paul are as solid as they want us all to believe . henry : okay , but you do n't care about that because you do n't care about paul anymore , right ? emily : i think this baby is driving meg away . henry : emily -- no , emily -- emily , stop right now . stop what you 're thinking right now . you 're going down the wrong highway at about a 100 miles an hour too fast . now slam on the brakes , now ! emily : i ca n't . i thought i could , henry , but -- i 've got a baby inside of me . and with every heartbeat , it reminds me how much i still love paul .

[ scene_break ] meg : look , you should know i went to see emily the other night at the hospital . paul : why would you do something like -- ? meg : because i wanted to look in her eyes and see if she had really let you go . paul : she has . i 'm sure of it . meg : well , i 'm not . paul : why would you do something -- why would you go and look for problems that do n't exist anymore ? meg : look , paul , it 's great that you want to let this baby -- that you want to keep this baby in your life . but i do n't trust for a second that emily 's not gon na try and use that to keep you in hers . paul : not if we wo n't let her . meg : she 's gon na make our lives together miserable . paul : no , she ca n't touch us . emily 's gon na be in an institution of some kind for a really long -- what 's it gon na take for me -- you have to believe that emily ca n't hurt us anymore . look , we can do this , right ? we can be a family . the three of us . do n't -- please , do n't walk away from that . meg : the only thing that would make me walk away is another lie . paul : i 'm not gon na do that ever again . meg : how can i be sure , paul ? paul : all you can do is take my word . which i know does n't mean anything because i lied to you but , look , i learned my lesson , all right ? i know that if i -- if i do n't tell you the truth , if i try and protect you that that just winds up pushing you even further away , okay ? and i 'm not gon na make that mistake again . meg : so , you really think we can start over ? paul : if you have half as much faith in me as i have in you . you -- you 're amazing . you are -- you 're gon na -- no doubt in my mind , you 're gon na be a wonderful mother . and there 's no doubt in my mind that , in time , you will feel about this baby that it 's yours as much as mine . we can do this -- if you love me . do you still love me ? meg : i do still love you . paul : all right , i love you . the question is , do you know in your heart that you can love this child ? meg : i know in my heart that i 'll give it everything i 've got . [ scene_break ] henry : please -- please tell me that you are joking . or you 're highly medicated , maybe ? is that it ? emily : no , neither . henry : you ca n't possibly think that you still have a future with paul ? for god 's sakes , why would you want one , em ? emily : you know , if you have to even ask me that question , i doubt that i 'll be able to explain it to you . henry : that 's because it 's an absolutely insane idea . emily : love is always a little insane , is n't it ? henry : yeah , so is necrophilia . that does n't make it the right thing to do . emily : would you just listen to me . being with paul was impossible only because meg was in the picture . but this baby has caused a shift in their relationship . i know it has . i saw it when she came to see me . the desperation was in her eyes , henry . henry : really , have you looked in the mirror lately ? emily : is it so wrong for me to want to have a relationship with the father of my child ? henry : yes , when the father is paul ryan . he makes ted bundy look like a fun blind date . emily : would you stop it already ? henry : sorry , that was a slight exaggeration . but he is not worthy of your love , and deep down you know that , em . you can not rationalize this decision . emily : well , you 're not gon na change my mind , so -- henry : well , then you leave me with no other choice . emily : what -- you 're leaving ? henry : yeah , i 'm leaving . emily : you 're taking the dog ? henry : yeah , i 'm taking the dog . emily : henry -- henry : i need some reinforcements and you need a reality check . and i know just the people to give it to you . come on , boy . [ scene_break ] margo : we do n't know that nick is gon na call . jack : if he did n't , i 'd be surprised . usually people who take hostages wind up negotiating with somebody . margo : that someone should n't be you . jack : i 've got the tech department monitoring the transponders , in case he tries to call from his cell to my cell . and i got somebody watching mike 's landline . nick knows all the tricks , though . as much as i hate to admit it , he 's a smart cop . margo : okay , will you please not bite my head off when i say this -- everybody knows that nick has a soft spot for carly -- always has . and that 's gon na work in her favor , jack . jack : let 's hope you 're right about that . i 'm gon na take another sweep around the area . i just do n't want to stand around here , it 's driving me crazy . margo : go ahead , go ahead .

[ scene_break ] emily : so , where are all your reinforcements ? henry : i never got a chance to call anybody . i ran into poochie 's owner , and then i had to pretend that i was searching for the guy to give him back his missing dog . emily : lucky for me . i just wish you 'd stop making such a big deal out of all this . henry : okay . okay , em . i 'll tell you what , i 'll make a deal with you -- you tell me that you were kidding about getting back together with paul , and i will drop the whole thing . emily : i 'm not kidding . but instead of worrying about me getting hurt again -- listen to me , be glad that two damaged people are finally getting the chance to do things right . henry : emily , what greeting card did you get that from ? emily : paul and i will always and forever be tied to each other . and it 's not just because of this baby . henry : what else is there ? emily : we 're soul mates , henry . henry : that 's why you shot him in the back , right ? emily : no , i shot him in the back because i could n't stand the thought of not spending the rest of my life with . it was unbearable . and i threw myself off the cliff because i could n't stand the fact that he had chosen meg over me . henry : and yet , you still ca n't get the hint ! emily : and you are not hearing the obvious , henry . i have been pushed to the absolute extreme by this man . past all rational thought , past all control . i 've been willing to do absolutely anything to hold onto him . if that is n't love at its most profound , then what is ? [ henry sighs ] [ scene_break ] paul : i think you might have just made me the happiest man alive . meg : wow . and all i had to do was promise to take another woman 's baby and raise it as my own . paul : already you 're having second thoughts ? meg : no . no , i 'm very excited . of course , that could be the latte , or i 'm just frantic with fear . paul : you do n't need to be afraid . not now , no . not while we 're together . meg : you and i are fine . the person i 'm worried about is emily . paul : look , emily 's exposure to this child is gon na be limited . even if she does get visitation rights , she 's gon na be in an institution or a prison . then there 's no way that emily is ever gon na come between you and me . meg : well , if she tries , i will definitely put up a fight . but , i do n't want to spend another couple of days without you . paul : oh , tell me about it . i was like a crazy man . i was gon na come to the farm and climb up to your window . meg : really ? well , you know , that would 've been quite a feat . my room 's in the attic . paul : oh , i see . yeah , and i was a little scared that your mom was gon na be there with her trusty shotgun . meg : yeah . she can hit anything at 30 paces . especially a varmint like you . paul : oh .

[ spangler laughs . ] spangler : you 're a fool , donovan . he 's all yours , honey . good luck . we 're not finished . rose : what is the matter with you , telling that guy to shoot you like that ? dusty : relax . a guy like that does n't have it in him . rose : oh , oh -- you 're taking quite a chance . but i guess it 's okay with you . so why should i care ? you know , you 're used to dealing with guys like that . how could you get involved with a pig like that ? dusty : do not worry about it . listen to me . you and i got ta get ready for our next move . rose : no , no , no , no . no more `` next moves `` for me . no . and for you -- no . i want you out . i want you gone from my life for good . dusty : listen -- hey . listen for a second . a guy like spangler , he does n't quit . understand ? he 's gon na come after me . he 's gon na come after you , too . rose : yeah , i 'll take care of myself , like i always have in the past . i want you gone from my life forever . dusty : he walked out of here today . next time , he 's gon na stay and finish the job . stay with me . rose : i want you out of my life . i do n't want you in it , not for apologizing , for nothin ' -- nothing . [ scene_break ] margo : no . no , katie . we have no idea who the man is . katie : but you can find out , right ? margo : no , probably not . he had no identification on him , and his fingertips were decomposed , so we ca n't even get prints . katie : oh , god . that sounds horrible . margo : yeah , it was . but that 's the way it goes . jack : you know what ? i 've got to get back to work . listen , thank you for all your help on this . katie : oh , of course . so what happens now ? margo : you mean with the body ? katie : i mean to the man . margo : well , the man gets buried somewhere , and the world goes on without him . katie : i know this probably sounds really weird , but because i found him , i feel kind of responsible for him . maybe i should go see him . margo : for what purpose ? katie : well , the guy had a family , and they 're never gon na get to say good- bye to him . maybe somebody should . margo : honey , why -- why are you so concerned about this ? katie : because that man has friends and family who are never gon na know the truth about him . they 're never gon na know if he 's alive or dead , so they 're just gon na be hoping that he 's gon na come home someday . i know what that feels like , margo . i was so obsessed every day about simon , just waiting to see if he was gon na come through that door . margo : when did that stop ? katie : when i realized he did n't love me . what 's wrong ? margo : nothing . really difficult day . katie : i know . of course . you were probably so scared that that was carly under that plastic . margo : yeah , i was . but it 's -- it 's more than that . and it 's nothing i can get into . katie : are you sure you would n't feel better if you did ? i 'm here to listen , no questions asked . margo : you are so sweet . i love you so much . you 're the best sister anyone could have . katie : i love you , too . [ scene_break ] molly : hey , jack . listen , i 'm really sorry to bother you , because i know how busy you are . but i was on my way home , and i could n't help but thinking -- i 'm just wondering if you have any news on carly . jack : hey , i wish i did . we had a scare a little while ago . turned out to be nothing . molly : a scare ? what do you mean by that ? jack : oh , long story . nothing to be concerned about . she 's out there somewhere , molly . she 's alive . and i am gon na do everything i can to find her . [ next_on ] dusty : i 'm trying to open your eyes , damn it . so you do n't end up in some cold storage room with a tag on your toe ! rosanna : if carly is missing , it 's because she wants to be , which would appear to indicate that she does n't want to be with you .
the body found was not carly . henry coleman said the simon killed the guy in the bag in self - defense . jack thinks carly left town because of him .

[ sighs ] riley : i know he worked as hard as he could . it seemed like he was trying to make a real difference , and in my opinion , he did . before adam died , he had been working on this house that had been nearly wrecked . i remember adam said that if he could help this one family rebuild their lives , then maybe he could rebuild his . well -- that 's all i came here to say . margo : thank you , uh , sergeant -- riley : morgan , ma'am . but you can call me riley . margo : thank you , riley . i never would have known all those things about my son if you had n't come here . tom : it meant a lot to us . would you please excuse me ? riley : i did n't mean to interrupt the ceremony . margo : no , no , no , you 're not . i do n't know why i really felt i needed to do this until you came . casey : yeah . it was good to hear about adam . margo : yeah . riley : you must be casey . glad to meet you . noah : i am so , so sorry for your loss . margo : i 'm -- i 'm really grateful that you guys came today . why do n't you come to the house and we 'll get something to eat , okay ? riley , will you please join us . riley : i really appreciate that , but i would n't want to intrude . margo : your adam 's friend , and i would n't have it any other way .

[ scene_break ] len : i sure am glad we 're going to see this movie together . it 'll make up for the day i 've had so far . [ rosanna laughs ] rosanna : why ? are we having a crime wave ? len : no . just a jerk who 's been trying to give the police force a hard time . rosanna : somebody from around here ? len : of course not . folks around the area were raised to have some manners . no , this guy 's from illinois . rosanna : illinois ? what are they doing here ? len : i did n't tell you about this ? rosanna : no , no . len : he 's looking for some guy with a baby . rosanna : wait . what do you mean ? len : well , some father ran off with his kid , and now the mother is trying to track him down . rosanna : why would anybody do that ? len : you know , that 's what i told mr. illinois . where would they hide ? it 's not like greenville 's that big . rosanna : wow . len : you know , that -- that guy had the brass to accuse me of not doing my job . rosanna : that 's awful . len : i damn near got into a fistfight with him . he made me that mad . rosanna : w -- when was this ? was this today ? len : you look worried . rosanna : yeah , i am worried . i -- i do n't want anything bad to happen to you .

[ scene_break ] tom : so , how did you happen to wind up in oakdale ? riley : it was n't an accident , sir . i came here to see you and mrs. hughes . luke : how did you find out about the memorial service ? riley : i stopped by the police station . you were n't there , ma'am , and they told me about the service . tom : that was very kind of you to go out of your way to talk to us about adam . riley : well , i -- i have something to give you -- this . i thought you might like to have it . margo : what 's this ? riley : as it turned out , adam and i had a lot in common . i found out he was a music producer , and i used to be in military communications . noah : what 'd you do before you signed up ? riley : i was a sound engineer . so anyway , adam and i -- we chatted music all the time , and he made this mix of some of the stuff he was into . margo : so adam made this ? riley : i -- i know it 's not much , but it 's something of adam 's that i know was personal , and i thought -- margo : it 's perfect . it 's perfect . thank you very much . riley : i did n't mean to -- tom : no , no . it 's -- its fine . it 's nice to hear good things about adam . it 's been a while . riley : for what it 's worth , ma'am , adam thought you hung the moon . you , too , mr. hughes . he knew he let you guys down big - time , and he hoped that someday , you 'd welcome him home . margo : that 's not gon na happen now , is it ? but i got to say , having you here is the next best thing , riley . so everybody , let 's eat , okay ? alison : all right . margo : just dig in , okay ? noah : so , what unit were you with in kabul ? radio communications , air / ground . luke : what exactly did you do ? noah : probably a lot of classified stuff . luke : oh , yeah . sorry . riley : that 's okay . in general , we just make sure everybody can talk to everybody else . noah : they also make sure that the enemy 's not eavesdropping on them . riley : basically , yeah . luke : where 'd you train ? riley : i did my basic at fort gordon , georgia . noah : really ? that 's -- that 's where my mom and dad were when -- when they had me . riley : yeah ? luke : yeah . did you know colonel winston mayer ? or maybe that 's not the best thing to ask right now . riley : dinner was great . thank you so much for having me . tom : you 're welcome . margo : do n't you want some coffee or something ? riley : no , thank you , ma'am . i -- i should be going . margo : all right . well , where are you headed ? riley : i have to go to a motel , and then i -- i 'm gon na head to omaha . that 's where my aunt and uncle live . my parents died a long time ago , so really , i have no special plans . margo : well , you ca n't waste time hunting around for a motel when you can just as easily stay here with us . [ scene_break ] alison : is there anything i can do for you ? casey ? casey : well , i know what i do n't want to do . i do n't want to think about adam , my parents , this riley what 's his name , and definitely not afghanistan . alison : well , that takes care of what you do n't want . but what do you want ? casey : to be with you , and to be reminded how happy you make me . alison : i think that can be arranged . where ? casey : i think we could come up with something .

[ scene_break ] luke : sad afternoon . noah : yeah . luke : can i ask you something ? how many memorial services have you been to ? noah : in my life ? hundreds , probably . i mean , growing up on army bases with the colonel as my father , it was kind of expected that i attend all official ceremonies with him . luke : and we were at war during a lot of that time , right ? noah : yeah , pretty much . why do you ask ? luke : well , i 've been thinking . i think that 's what your movie should be about . noah : what , people dying ? luke : no . hearing you talk to riley , it just made me realize how unique your life was , growing up on military bases all around the world . noah : well , there were plenty of other army brats growing up with me . i 'm not that unique . luke : yes . yes , you are . even though you chose not to live a life in the military , you respect it . and even though your father was very , um -- [ luke laughs ] luke : hardline , you grew up to be an astoundingly well - rounded person . noah : and even though my father tried to murder you , i should what , build a cinematic monument to his life ? come on ! luke : no , no , noah . not to his life . to yours . you know , something about all of the things he taught you , the good and the bad , all of the experiences you had with him , the good and the bad . noah : there were lots of that . but so much of my father 's life was a -- i do n't even know what the truth is anymore . luke : so you 'll figure it out as you go along . noah : i do n't know . luke , it -- it just seems a little intense . who wants to dig that deep ? that might be more than i 'm willing to explore . luke : well , then that is all the more reason to do it . you have to admit you like the idea . noah : i do , i do . i mean , what people are really gon na be that interested in me and my life ? luke : well , i guess you 're asking the wrong person , because i am very interested in everything about you . noah : do we still have the house all to ourselves ? [ luke laughs ] luke : yeah , we do . i just checked . noah : mm .

jack : i do n't want to fight with you , carly . carly : well , jack , maybe you could have thought of that before you started to interrogate gabriel at lily 's party . jack : i was n't interrogating him . i was asking him what happened when craig supposedly attacked him . carly : what do you mean `` supposedly `` ? gabriel told the police that craig is the one who knocked him out and left him there to die in that fire . jack : and you know how gabriel claims craig did that ? with that little angel figurine you kept on your desk . carly : i do n't understand why you have to question every single bit of his story . jack : how much do you think that thing weighs ? a pound ? 18 ounces maybe ? ballpark ? carly : you 're off the case . jack : technically . carly : officially . so just let it go , okay ? jack : i ca n't do that . gabriel 's story just does n't add up . carly : it 's an open and shut case . jack : if we take gabriel 's word for it . carly : he was there ! jack : okay . we 're supposed to believe that parker knocks gabriel out , gabriel wakes up , only to be knocked out by craig holding this -- this angel figurine over him ? i need to know the truth . carly : the truth is that parker is free , and we have a chance to have a fantastic life together , unless you ruin it .

[ molly sobs ] holden : it 's all right . molly : thank god you got my message . holden : he did n't ? molly : but he would have if you had n't gotten here . he was kind of okay when i first got here , but then he disappeared , and when he came back , he was high , and he would n't let me go . holden : i 'm sorry . molly : i 'm so glad you 're here now . holden : what were you doing here ? why did you come out here like this to meet him ? molly : i did n't know we were going to be alone . he said that he wanted to meet in a public place so i would feel safe , but it was just a lie . holden : what about the other things he said , about the video of the two of you ? molly : i wish i could say that was a lie , too , but it 's not . he said that he was going to send them to you if i did n't come , and i did n't want my mistakes to embarrass you any more than they already have . i really thought that i could handle it by myself . i am so sorry . holden : it 's okay . it 's over now . it 's over . molly : [ gasps ] holden -- holden : its okay , molly . i 'm going to call the sheriff 's department . they 're going to come here . they 're going to arrest him . and you 're never going to have to see him again . i need your phone . molly : he smashed it . holden : all right . i left mine in the car . i 'm going to have to go out there and get it . molly : okay . holden : you going to be okay ? molly : yeah . holden : i wo n't be long . silas : tell him to take his time . molly : do n't talk to me . do n't . silas : you think you 've got this squeaky - clean , fresh start life on tap with your farmer . sorry , sweetheart . it does n't work that way . molly : just shut up ! silas : i just ca n't leave behind what we had . it was special , hot . videos do n't lie . you know that naughty woman crawling all over me ? that 's the real you . molly : stop it , stop it , stop it . silas : you can change your bedmates , molly , but you ca n't change who you are . molly : i 'm not listening to this , silas . silas : you 'll never be happy on that farm with that straight arrow , holden snyder , and his picket - fence family . molly : that is not true . that is not true ! holden loves me . silas : loves you ? molly : mm - hmm . silas : [ laughs ] you are fooling yourself . he does n't love you . now do n't get me wrong . you 've got a lot to offer a man . you sure do . but as a mistress , not a wife . molly : i swear , silas , if you do n't keep your mouth shut -- silas : it 's just the way you 're built , babe -- cheap and dirty . and i 've got the footage to prove it . molly : i said shut the hell up ! [ scene_break ] lily : faith , i know you do n't think i deserve to get your father back , and you 're probably right , given the fact that i married damian so quickly after we thought we lost your father . but it 's pointless anyway , because he 's with molly now , and he 's happy . faith : he 's not with molly right now . lily : do n't even go there . what you saw between your father and me was -- was just a moment where i was feeling disillusioned and fragile , and your father was there for me , like he 's been for most of my life . i do n't expect you to understand it , and i really do n't think i should have to explain myself to you . some things , some feelings , are private . faith : so i guess you 'll just go back to finishing cleaning up and go to bed like you said , huh ? lily : maybe not . i might curl up with a book first . faith : you know , mom , i do know what makes you happy , or should i say who , and i do n't want you to be miserable -- most of the time . lily : faith snyder , that 's the nicest thing you 've said to me in months . [ scene_break ] gabriel : you want to talk ? go ahead . do it . parker : okay . first of all , i 'd say that we 're even now . gabriel : yeah , how do you figure that ? parker : well , you stole a lot of money from my trust fund , and i got back at you , which kind of balances things out . gabriel : you sucker - punched me , man . you think that makes everything cool ? parker : okay , so we might not be exactly even . but at least it 's all over now , right ? gabriel : [ scoffs ] i thought you said you wanted to talk about liberty . parker : i do , okay ? if you want to keep things cool between us , you 'll stay away from her . gabriel : look , she can hang out with whoever she wants . parker : not when it comes to you . gabriel : why ? 'cause -- 'cause she likes me ? parker : no , no . she actually -- she feels sorry for you , and you take advantage of that . gabriel : really ? parker : yeah . all that liberty 's ever done to you is be nice . and what do you do ? you turn around and get her arrested for being in a stolen car . i do n't want liberty to get hurt the next time you do something stupid . gabriel : oh , man . parker : what ? gabriel : your memory must be shot . 'cause when i pointed my finger at craig , i saved your butt , remember ? was that stupid , too , huh ? you -- you should be thanking me , not threatening me . hey . liberty : hey . johnny , take it easy . do n't knock the guy over . sorry . he , uh , would n't leave me alone till i promised to help find you . hey , parker . parker : hi . [ gabriel sighs ] liberty : what 's going on ? parker : nothing . see you . [ scene_break ] jack : why do you act like you 're the only person who has n't parker 's interests at heart ? carly : because sometimes that 's exactly how i feel . jack : oh carly , if i could just make you see that i am trying to help parker , too . carly : oh , really ? 'cause it seems to me like you 're bending over backwards to be sure he 's put in jail again . jack : how am i doing that ? carly : because you 're -- you 're poking holes in gabriel 's story . jack : and you do n't think that tom -- tom hughes is going to poke the very same holes in the story ? ! carly : maybe he will , but that 's his job . let him do it . jack : okay . this entire case hinges on one person 's testimony -- gabriel 's . and he 's made no secret of the fact that he hates craig . carly : uh - huh . and he got his revenge . he blackmailed craig when he found out that craig was stealing from parker . that 's why craig tried to kill him . jack : the only problem i have with that is how . carly : how what ? jack : the angel , carly -- the glass angel that gabriel said craig attacked him with . i saw it when they were gathering the evidence . it 's still intact . carly : so ? jack : so if craig had used it to hit gabriel with the amount of force it would take to knock him out , the thing would be in a million pieces ! carly : for pete 's sake , jack , would you let it go ? ! for parker 's sake , for my sanity , would you let it go ? ! jack : i ca n't do that . carly : of course you ca n't . jack : no , carly , and it 's not because i 'm stubborn or -- or obsessed or contrary . it 's because i 'm trying to do what 's right here . carly : the right thing to do is to protect our son . and if you do n't understand that , we have nothing left to talk about . parker : great . you 're fighting again . carly : parker , we 're not fighting . parker : well , you could have fooled me . carly : we 're not . we were just debating where to have our family vacation this summer . parker : that 's a nice try . but i know you guys were fighting , and i want to know if it was about me . carly : no , we -- honestly , we were having a heated discussion about where to have our vacation . and it had nothing to do with you , honestly . jack : your mother 's right . it 's nothing for you to worry about , especially with finals coming up . carly : yeah . you should be concentrating on -- on this , whatever this is . your calculus . jack , maybe you could help him study , okay ? jack : calculus ? carly : yeah . and i 'll go to the library , and i 'll get some information on whatever future vacation destination we 're going to have . okay ? bye . parker : i hate it when you guys fight . jack : hey , listen , there 's an upside . it means that we really care . parker : about winning the fight . jack : no , about the three of you . nothing means more to us than you guys . parker : so this was about me ? jack : okay , i ca n't really tell you that . what i can tell you is that whenever we do argue about you , it means we want what 's best for you , parker . parker : if only you guys could agree on what that is . jack : hey , what about the -- what about calculus ? parker : forget about it . you 're off the hook , okay ? i need to spend some time on u.s. history . like they say , otherwise i 'll repeat it . [ scene_break ] gabriel : what 's that you got there ? a turtle ? liberty : [ whispering ] i think it 's an alligator . gabriel : what 's he got in his hand or his paw , a banana ? liberty : uh , a baseball bat . gabriel : that 's very cool . liberty : johnny , that reminds me , we should try to see a cubs game this season . the three of us could even go maybe . does that sound good ? you want there to be four ? who 's the fourth ? gabriel : probably parker . johnny : i want my daddy to come because i miss him . [ scene_break ] jack : just what we need -- another jailhouse lawyer . craig : heaven helps those who help themselves . jack : tom 's not going to appreciate second - guessing him in court . craig : you want something , jack , or you just came down to savor the sight of me in a glorified cattle pen ? jack : no . i 've been thinking about your case . craig : any particular reason . jack : i was thinking that it might not have to go to trial . craig : why ? you know something i do n't ? jack : more like the other way around . you see , there are some inconsistencies with what exactly happened on the day of the fire . and if you can clear them up for me , there 's an outside chance that you might not need that . craig : i 'll take any chance i can get . hit me with your first question . [ scene_break ] [ knocks on door ] carly : hi , kenny . kenny : hey . how have you been , ms. tenney ? carly : oh , come on now . we 've known each other for a lot of years . you should call me carly . you are looking really good . you know that ? so , um , listen . actually , i 'm here to do jack a little favor . he was here yesterday . he was going through some evidence boxes . and i think somehow he lost his watch in the process . so i -- i was wondering if i could just take a look around , see if i can find it . it wo n't take long , i promise .

[ scene_break ] tom : so , how involved were you with alison when she was in the nursing program ? chris : we were seeing each other for a while -- kind of dating , mostly not . she kept running hot and cold . finally i just got tired of it , so -- so i ended things . tom : did the breakup coincide with her being released from the program ? chris : yeah , it might have happened around the same time , but one thing had nothing to do with the other . tom : oh , really ? and you 're sure of this because ? chris : well , because it 's -- it 's all about the numbers , tom . alison flunked out . that had nothing to do with me . tom : but you were helping her study ? chris : yeah , so i 'm a lousy tutor . sue me . tom : she very well may . what other kind of help were you offering at the time ? chris : okay , uh , maybe i should n't have done this . but i did speak to brenda manning a couple times . tom : brenda manning ? chris : yeah , she 's in charge of the nursing program . i guess you could say i kind of got her to give alison a makeup exam . tom : you pressured one of alison 's teachers ? chris : no , no , no , no . it was n't like that . i was just trying to be supportive of alison . but in the end , you know , i told brenda to use her own judgment , and cutting her from the nursing program was her decision , not mine . tom : and will brenda attest to this ? chris : yeah , sure she will . you know , i had nothing to do with alison getting kicked out . i would never intentionally hurt her . and if she says i did , she 's lying . [ scene_break ] alison : at first , chris was great . he would quiz me on stuff , and -- and he was kind of like a -- kind of like my cheerleader . and he said i could learn it all , and then i 'd be a great nurse . bonnie : so , he was good to you ? alison : he saved my butt . bonnie : mm - hmm . alison : there was one time that i overslept , and i missed an exam , and he talked to the head of the department and got me to have a makeup test . bonnie : wow , that 's above and beyond , is n't it ? alison : yeah . bonnie : mm - hmm . alison : yeah , it was . and it 's probably why i started thinking about maybe hooking up with him again . bonnie : so , when did that change ? alison : well , i passed my exam -- barely , but i passed , and , um , chris took me out to celebrate , and we ended up going back to his room because he hurt his arm -- bonnie : and you slept together . alison : we almost did , but i could n't . i mean , i thought it 's what i wanted , but when it came down to it -- i do n't know . anyway , when i bailed on chris , he got really angry , and he said some things . and then i went to aaron 's , and i spent the night there . nothing happened there , but chris thought it did . and then , bam , i 'm kicked out of nursing school . bonnie : after you had passed your exam ? alison : i still did n't think chris had anything to do with it . but then i got taken off of patient care . and when i went to my boss to ask her what happened , she said she had gotten a complaint about my work from chris . bonnie : alison , what do you want ? alison : i want to be a nurse . and if pushing this is the only way that that 's gon na happen -- bonnie : no , i think you have a really good case . i do . but if being a nurse at memorial hospital is what you really want , winning this case could be the worst thing that could ever happen to you . [ scene_break ] lily : so , what happens next ? holden : i think that we should , you know , keep things the way they are for a little while longer . lily : you do n't want to move back in with me ? holden : no , i do , but -- i think we just have some things that we need to work through . lily : but we are going in the same direction . we want the same things . holden : yes . and i 've even got the fire going . lily : yes . i 'll go tell carly . you were right about everything ! carly : i can honestly say i have never heard those words before . lily : you told me to back off and give holden space . and now he thinks that if we keep working at it , we have a chance at being a family again . so thank you . carly : yeah . it 's about time i got something right . lily : maybe someday you and jack can -- carly : let 's just get these kids fed , okay ? [ children shouting ] [ laughs ] carly : now that sounds like a pillow fight . i 'll quiet them down . lily : no , no , no . i 'll go . it 's mostly my kids . [ shouting continues ] lily : girls ! carly : oh ! [ scene_break ] chris : i still do n't see why you had to call dad . tom : dad is the chief of staff at memorial . he has a vested interest in this case . chris : there is no case . tom : but there very well may be . otherwise , we would n't be talking about this right now . [ knock on door ] tom : hey , dad . how you feeling ? bob : oh , not great . i was under the impression that this thing with alison was gon na blow over . chris : yeah , i just wanted to bounce some things off tom , head off any problems before they start . bob : what do you think ? tom : mistakes were made . chris should not have pulled rank and had alison removed from patient care . chris : if alison flunked out of nursing school , she should n't be tending to patients . tom : but was n't alison working as a nurse 's aide before she entered the nursing program ? chris : yeah . what difference does it make ? tom : well , did part of her duties include patient care ? chris : yeah , sure , tom . but she flunked out -- tom : well , were there other complaints -- i mean , from doctors about her performance in this area ? bob : actually , no . she gets high praise in her work with patients from just about everybody , including me . [ cell phone ringing ] tom : excuse me . hello ? chris : well , i had a problem with alison 's job performance , dad . what was i supposed to do -- just let it slide ? bob : you should have let me handle any official reprimand or any change in her duties . you just gave her ammunition that she can use against you . chris : yeah , i hear you , dad , but i really do n't think this is a big deal . tom : well , that was bonnie mckechnie -- wanted to give me a heads up . she 's representing alison stewart , who is suing chris hughes and memorial for sexual harassment . chris : this is crazy . how does alison think she can sue me for sexual harassment and win ? tom : well , she 's feeling slighted and striking back , but if it 's any consolation to you , most of these cases never make it to court . chris : yeah , because those companies usually settle out of court . we should n't have to do that . i did n't do anything wrong . bob : that may be true , but interfering with her assignments , that just sends out the wrong message . chris : dad , you warned me about getting involved with alison . i should have listened to you . what happens now ? bob : well , i 'll try to do some damage control before this really gets out of hand . [ scene_break ] bob : lisa ? got a minute ? lisa : yes . for you , i have many minutes . bob : i need a favor . lisa : oh , my goodness . another fund - raiser . is that coming up for the hospital ? how much this time ? bob : no , no , i -- actually , i was hoping that , uh -- that you could have a chat with bonnie about a very sensitive situation . lisa : it 's a legal matter ? bob : it 's about chris . [ scene_break ] chris : i hate that every time i mess up at work , it bounces back on dad . it seems like ever since i 've been back in town , all i do is cause problems . tom : oh , do n't worry so much . dad has a way of smoothing things over . besides , if what you say is true , and you 've done nothing wrong , alison has no case . chris : yeah , but she can make a lot of noise . tom : might be worrisome under certain circumstances , but her word is not very reliable . her reputation precedes her . chris : no , tom . i do n't want to use alison 's past against her . tom : let 's hope it does n't come to that . [ scene_break ] aaron : so bonnie thinks you have a good case here . alison : yeah , but a lot of people at the hospital like chris , and once they find out i 'm suing him and the hospital -- aaron : hey , hey , listen . it 's bad enough he has the clout to get you kicked out of school , okay ? and then he goes and tries to stop you from working with patients ? i mean , come on . you have every right to sue this guy . alison : yeah , but in the meantime , i have to work with him . chris probably hates me right now . aaron : well , listen . if he 's smart , he 'll stay away from you . and if he does n't , you let me know . alison : aaron , do n't go after him . promise me . aaron : i wo n't let that guy hurt you anymore . that i promise . i 'll talk to you later .

[ scene_break ] chris : do you want to sit down ? alison , i know you 're hurt . anyone would be upset after what happened . alison : what you made happen . chris : i do n't blame you for wanting to get back at me -- even if that means taking me to court . but that would be a mistake . alison : why ? chris : well , in the first place , i did n't get you kicked out of the nursing program . that was n't my decision . and that will be the first thing that comes out in court . alison : if you say so . chris : and think about what else will come out . alison : you 'd do that to me ? intentionally embarrass me ? chris : no . no , but no matter what i say or what i want , our lawyers are not gon na play fair . you know that , alison . everything in your past is fair game . your whole life is just gon na get dragged through the mud . just think about that .

[ scene_break ] jordan : you knew me when i was born . you obviously know everything about me while i was growing up . who are you ? james : your father is n't dead . jordan : prove it . james : your mother died . that 's true . and your father desperately wanted to keep you , but he just -- he could n't . jordan : why not ? james : he was a very powerful man . he should n't have been consorting with your mother . when you were 3 months old , he asked me to make sure you were well taken care of , and i did . i hired the nurse . jordan : mrs. weatherbee . james : yes . she was to take care of you until you were old enough to make it on your own . jordan : so my father just left me there . and then you -- you left me there , too . james : i had no choice . jordan : what do you mean ? james : maybe i could have , should have kept you with me . jordan : no . no , my father should have come to get me .

[ scene_break ] paul : well , if you 'd like , i can start yelling and throwing things . i mean , i do n't really feel like it , but if you 're in the mood for drama -- barbara : no , no , i 'm not . i 'm just trying to understand how you can be so accepting of a situation that just a couple of weeks ago made you run off with your daughter , promising you would never return . paul : well , maybe i ran into someone who i never thought i 'd see again , and that person explained a few things to me . barbara : such as ? paul : i do n't always need to fight . sometimes i can just let things be what they are . barbara : who 'd you run into ? paul : rosanna . barbara : rosanna ? you mean , you were remembering some things that she said . paul : no , i mean that rosanna and i had several conversations about what i should do . barbara : honey , rosanna is in a clinic in switzerland . paul : no . apparently , not even a coma can keep her down . barbara : are you saying that she 's recovered ? paul : good as new , as far as i can tell . barbara : why has no one told me about this ? paul : well , maybe because no one knows . i mean , when she came back to the country , she did n't tell anyone , and she kind of settled in this little town a couple of hours north , and -- it 's as if it was meant to be because i just kind of ran into her . barbara : that is unbelievable . paul : well , think of it this way . if it were n't for rosanna , i might not even have come back to town .

[ scene_break ] carly : i know that letting craig into my life was a complete lapse of judgment , but i was at a low point . i needed money , he had it . i was lonely , he was charming . i was bored with my life , and he was there . rosanna : you were weak , and he took advantage . carly : all right , well , in my defense , you know , craig has seemed a little bit different lately . rosanna : lord , i 'm almost afraid to ask . carly : well , in a good way . i think getting johnny back and having the chance to be a father again has really helped him . anyway , there is nothing between us anymore . and that 's enough about me . about you . now that you 're back in oakdale , what 's next ? rosanna : i do n't really know . cabot motors is gone , along with all my money . carly : oh , no , it is n't . there 's still the huge trust fund that you set up for parker . rosanna : that 's parker 's . i 'm not gon na touch that . carly : no , but it 's there for you if you need it . it 's not a problem . rosanna : carly , no way . carly : there is more money there than parker could possible use in like 10 lifetimes . rosanna : well , great . that 's fantastic to hear , especially in this economy . carly : yeah , i think craig 's done a pretty good job . rosanna : craig ? carly : yeah . carly : parker named him his trustee . rosanna : and you let him ? carly : no ! i had nothing to do with it . the judge said that parker had the right to choose whoever he wanted . rosanna : and he chose craig ? it 's a miracle he has any money left . carly : well , the money is rightfully yours , and if you want it , i 'm sure that parker would be more than happy to help you . rosanna : no , no . i am never touching that money , carly . never in a million years . it 's parker 's . i will find an income . i will find a place to stay . carly : oh . well , you 'll stay with us . rosanna : no . no , i 'm sorry . i just do n't think that 's a good idea . carly : why not ? rosanna : craig ? carly : well , i told you , he 's out of my life . you do n't believe me ? rosanna : of course i believe you . i believe you . i just -- i know craig . once he 's decided that he wants you , there 's just no way he 's gon na let go .

[ scene_break ] carly : what could you possibly want to talk to rosanna about ? craig : i think it 's long past due that we clear the air . carly : and how do you plan to do that ? apologize for trying to kill her ? ask her to let bygones be bygones ? she 's never gon na forgive you . craig : i do n't know that , and neither do you . carly : oh , yes , i do . you know why she 's not here ? why she 's not staying with me ? she 's afraid that she 'll run into you . craig : well , that just proves that she and i should talk . i would love the chance to make up for all the ill will , clear up any misperception she has have about the cause of her -- carly : any misperceptions are yours . craig : i know your sister 's important to you . carly : both my sisters are important to me . craig : gwen is living happily with her husband and new daughter , and if and when she ever comes back to town , i 'll apologize to her again . but now that rosanna is here , i think it would behoove us all if i were to take the opportunity and try to find a way to peacefully coexist . you have any ideas how that might happen ? carly : you 're on your own there . craig : well , there must be something i can do . carly : you can agree to stay away from her , to stay away from me . craig : well , i ca n't do either one . so if i were to find a way to make peace with rosanna -- carly : never gon na happen . craig : but if i could , could we find our way to get back to where we were ? carly : which was apart . craig : which was talking about being in business together . if i were able to achieve the impossible and get rosanna to forgive me , do you think that you and i could be business partners again ? carly : first of all , you 're never gon na make peace with rosanna . and secondly , i 'm not making any deals with you , craig , ever again . please get out .

[ scene_break ] amy : being a single mother , it 's hard work . but it can also be empowering . brad : janet ? janet : hmm ? brad : well , as a real - life single mom , what do you think ? janet : oh , oh . yes , in my opinion , i think that amy here is right on point . being a single mother can be extremely rewarding , and my daughter and i share a very special bond . brad : right , but it is hard raising a kid on your own ? janet : no , not at all . liberty 's a really sweet girl . in fact , she 's right here . can we bring her on ? brad : yeah , absolutely . everybody , this is janet 's daughter . and mine , by the way . liberty . liberty : hi . janet : sit down , honey . liberty : this is cool . hey , your book sounds really cool . amy : oh , what a lovely girl . janet : oh , thanks . we do , we share a special bond , do n't we , honey ? liberty : actually , mom , i think you 're kind of full of it . brad : it 's funny . she 's a funny kid . she really is . she really did n't mean that . liberty : yes , i did . okay , hi . um , all of what my mom said since she got on here , it 's like 99 % of it is pure bull .

[ scene_break ] brad : so you think your mom 's been lying this whole time ? liberty : no , just more like pretending to be someone she 's not . brad : why do you say that ? janet : because she just likes being mean to her mom . amy : sometimes children raised in single - family households are resentful . liberty : no , i 'm not -- i do n't resent my mom . but that is my point . i think most of the time , she kind of resents me . janet : i do not ! liberty : mom , all i 'm saying is that you tell me how it 's hard dealing with me on your own , and how sometimes , you know , you wish there was someone there to share the burden . okay , hi , again . um , do n't get me wrong here , raising me is not a walk in the park , and she is a terrific mom . all i 'm saying is , i think some of the time she 's more exhausted than empowered . brad : sweetheart , i know it might seem that way sometimes , but i 'm sure your mother loved having all that alone time with you . janet : no , no . liberty 's absolutely right . the last thing i ever wanted was to be a single mother . [ scene_break ] carly : that was good before . you made me laugh . jack : and for my next trick , i 'm gon na make you fall asleep . come on , lie down . carly : you know , we do n't both need to be here . you can go back to work . i can handle this . jack : carly , i would n't feel comfortable leaving any more than you would . do n't fight me on this . lie down , please . carly : fine . but i 'm not gon na sleep . i 'm too worried . jack : come on , he 's a tough kid . carly : uh - huh , too tough . did you hear something ? jack : no , he 's fine . carly : okay . jack : please close your eyes . thank you . now , think of the late summer . august . j.j.

[ scene_break ] janet : oh , do n't get me wrong . having liberty was the best thing that ever happened to me . brad : even when you told her that she was a burden ? janet : what i used to say was , i wanted somebody to share the burden and share the joy . the joy of your first step , her first word . i wanted somebody to be next to me , saying , `` hey , honey , honey , did you see what she did ? look , she just took her first step ! is n't that cute ? ! get the camera ! `` brad : what was the best day ? janet : when she discovered she loved shopping . i was so proud . brad : what was worst day ? janet : the worst day ? oh , that look . go ahead , honey . show them the look . the look you give , the eyes , the thing . see . brad : it 's worse than that . i know that look . oh , i wish i could have been there . janet : the biggest mistake i ever made was being so stubborn , thinking i could do it all by myself . i could 've tried to find you , bradley , but i did n't . and you missed out on all those moments because of me . liberty : do n't do the ugly cry , mom . janet : no , no , baby . it 's -- no , no . this is -- these are misty tears of happiness , happiness because you found your dad now . and from now on , there are two people in your life to share the good times , the bad times , and who will love you no matter what . together . [ applause ] [ scene_break ] luke : mom , he blames me for what happened . lily : why ? his dad was the one that caused all of this . luke : yeah , but noah 's still holding on to this fantasy that he could finally get through to his dad . he thinks that the colonel was just gon na , i do n't know , just turn over a new leaf , let ameera free , turn himself in , and finally be what he never was -- a good , honest decent guy . holden : there 's no way that ever would have happened . luke : yeah , but noah never got a chance to see that because i barged in with the cops and i ruined everything . so -- i do n't know what to do . i really love him . holden : well , then maybe you should pay attention to what noah says . luke : what , that he 's dumping me ? holden : no , that he needs a break for a while . it 's not forever .

[ suitcase zips ] janet : you did n't tell katie that i was staying with you . brad : she did n't have time . she had to go . you know , but , besides , it 's only one or two days , so why load her up with unimportant details while she 's working ? janet : so you were just being considerate ? brad : sure . but i 'm gon na tell her , definitely . i will .

janet substitutes for katie on oakdale now and she and brad interview a woman who wrote a book on empowering single mothers . liberty also appears on the show and offers her opinion on the topic . brad , janet and liberty bond with each other while on the show . janet tells brad she is still scared of bud who is a guest at the lakeview so he offers to let her stay at his house until bud leaves the hotel . katie calls and brad does n't tell her that janet substituted for her on the show or that she will be staying at the house for a few days . noah gets angry at luke and tells him he needs a break from their relationship . noah later apologizes to luke for making it seem like he blamed him for what happened in new york but makes it clear he needs a break from their relationship so he can think about things . jack and carly bond when j.j gets sick from strep throat and both blame themselves for not noticing j.j 's symptoms earlier . lily is frustrated and angry because holden does n't even want to spend one minute in the same room with her alone . holden calls jack to talk about the ameera situation but carly answers and carly and holden tell each other they are not having a good day but ca n't talk about it right now .
janet : all right . there we go . how 's that feel ? comfy ? yeah ? all righty ! anjelica 's waiting for you at the elevator . have fun . hey , yo , aquaman , come here . what about a kiss ? mwah ! okay , bye . dusty : you 're really good with him . janet : ah , he makes it easy . dusty : so , how 'd you get craig to let me be his guardian ? janet : simple -- i 'm not you . dusty : well , i owe ya . i 'd like to pay it back . janet : okay . how about a kid for a kid ? liberty is knocking herself out , trying to get all of her schoolwork finished so that she can graduate with her class tomorrow . but she did n't sleep last night , and i 'm really afraid that the stress is going to make her sick again . dusty : it 's just one more day , janet . janet : yeah , okay , listen . i used to say that , too , right ? and then my daughter got cancer . so there 's no such thing as `` one more day . `` so i say that she stay healthy , go to summer school , and get her diploma in the fall , but she wo n't listen to me . so i really need your help on this , okay ? dusty : you really want my advice ? you got to listen to me and lighten up . [ scene_break ] liberty : unless this latte is laced with smart juice , it 's not going to help . parker : you look pretty stressed out . liberty : i have one day to take all of my exams and write an english paper . if i do n't pass everything , i 'm not going to graduate tomorrow . and i do n't want to be the loser who gets left behind .

[ scene_break ] dooley : hello , detective snyder . jack : sheriff dooley . are you here about the shooting at the old mill ? dooley : i got your message about the extenuating circumstances of the case ? jack : yeah . i 'm sorry . i know it 's not my jurisdiction . dooley : no , its fine , jack . i 'm glad you called . uh , you say you knew both the shooter and the victim ? jack : well , i did n't know whitman very well , but molly conlan -- i 've known her for years . she 's my ex - wife 's cousin . dooley : so i gather . look , jack , there are a few things about the shooting that did n't make it into my report , if you get my drift . [ scene_break ] holden : molly -- she was terrified about what happened with silas . lily : of course she was . i 'm just saying , proposing marriage in the middle of this nightmare -- maybe it 's not the best move . holden : you know , i might have said the same thing to you when you agreed to marry damian , if i had n't been dead . lily : yes , i thought you were dead . and we both know how that ended up . holden : all right look , the big difference here is i 'm single , and molly -- she 's very important to me . you know what ? i did n't actually realize that until i almost just lost her . lily : but you 're already living together . what 's the rush ? i mean , you do n't want to let fear force you into making a decision that you ca n't change , holden . i did that with damian , and i can never take it back . holden : lily , it 's not the same . it 's not even close . [ scene_break ] jack : what 's on your mind , sheriff ? dooley : your friend was carrying when she went to meet the congressman . jack : ex - congressman . and the gun was licensed . that 's in your report . dooley : the gun is not the issue , detective . would have been a clear - cut case of self - defense if i had n't found this in the trunk of the vic 's car . jack : did you watch it ? dooley : the first 30 seconds . it 's a dvd of ms. conlan and the late congressman having sex . i do n't know if you 're aware , but uh , our d.a . 's running for re - election in november , and he 's looking for some good press . if he gets a hold of this , your friend 's case might wind up looking a lot more interesting than simple self - defense . [ scene_break ] molly : a part of me ca n't believe that it 's really happening . i mean , holden . [ both laughing ] molly : after all these years . carly : and abigail -- she 's going to love this . molly : i know , and i ca n't even call her yet , because it 's so early out in california . and unfortunately , she wakes up like her mom , not at the crack of dawn like a snyder . oh , my god , i 'm so happy , i ca n't even see straight . i love him so much . i think i always have . carly : yeah . you know , i feel that way about jack . it 's just been so long since we 've had any peace in our relationship . molly : oh . carly : i think i 'm envious of you . is that wrong ? molly : a little . no , things are going to work out for you guys . i feel it . carly : maybe . in the meantime , i 'm just going to be happy for you . [ both laugh ] molly : oh , my god . i 'm smiling so much my face hurts . carly : your face hurts me , too . [ both laugh ] carly : hey , you know what ? i do n't want to bring up a sore subject , but does lily know about this ? molly : holden 's telling her right now . carly : i ca n't imagine she 's taking it very well . molly : well , that 's her problem . i do n't mean to be a witch about it . carly : no , it 's okay . lily 's my friend , but she took holden for granted . and now that damian 's gone , she expects him to come running back to her . molly : holden 's not an option for lily anymore . you know -- maybe knowing that will give her a little bit of relief . carly : or not . [ scene_break ] holden : lily , this is not a sudden decision . molly and i -- we 've known each other for a very long time . we have a daughter together . lily : yes , but she just killed her ex - lover . you do n't think that affects the way the two of you are feeling ? holden : all right , stop . i know this is awkward , okay ? i 'm not going to lie to you . molly and i -- we 've been very close for a very long time . lily : yeah . you have n't kept that a secret . holden : but you 're still going to be a very important part of me . that will never change . lily : i do n't know if molly will like that . holden : she knows how it is between us . lily : i 'm sure she does . holden : okay , this is going to sound really strange , but if i had your blessing , it would mean the world to me . lily : you have it . i wish you both the best . only good things from now on . holden : thank you . um , we should tell the kids together , just you and me . lily : yeah , yeah . sounds like a plan . holden : thanks .

[ scene_break ] liberty : when i was in chemo and radiation , stuck inside that plastic bubble , i had to force myself to think about what i was going to do when i got out , you know ? and graduation was the big day . had it marked on my calendar . i counted off all the weeks . i kept trying to do my schoolwork even when i felt lousy . parker : yeah , i know . see , i was -- i was there , remember ? liberty : yeah . i know , and you did so much for me . but i had to find my own reasons not to give up . and i sort of feel like if i do n't do this , if i wimp out and do n't graduate when i 'm so close , it 's like letting cancer take another chunk out of me . and -- [ sighs ] i do n't know how much of me is left after this last year . parker : cancer made you stronger , okay ? liberty : okay . before he died , my dad had this calendar at work , and graduation day was circled in red , and he had my name written in huge letters on top of it . parker : okay , but i think he would understand if you waited until the fall . liberty : sure , if he were here . but he 's not . and he 's going to be looking down on me tomorrow , and i do n't want to disappoint him . parker : okay . okay , then let 's do this . what can i do to help ? liberty : you ca n't fix this for me , parker . i have to do this myself . [ scene_break ] janet : `` lighten up `` ? this is my daughter 's life we 're talking about here . dusty : it 's her graduation . if she 's got to put in one more night of work , it 's not going to kill her . janet : how do you know ? dusty : because she 's healthy . that 's why . janet : what if she gets overtired ? dusty : well , then , she 'll take a nap like every other kid . it 's part of growing up . janet : for normal kids maybe , yeah . dusty : well , you 're not letting her be normal . that 's the truth . she had a rough go of it , but that 's over now . she wants to push herself to graduate with her class one more night , let her try . hey -- janet : hey . dusty : what 's going on with you ? janet : you 're going to think i 'm terrible . dusty : well , try me . janet : i do n't want liberty to graduate . dusty : what do you mean ? i do n't get it . janet : she wants to go to college in new york , dusty . she 's going to leave me . and it 's been just the two of us for so long , i do n't know who i am without her . dusty : i do . janet : especially after the past few months . i almost lost her . and now that i have her back , it 's -- it 's just too early to let her go again . and before you say it , i know i 'm being selfish . dusty : no . you 're being normal . janet : normal parents do n't wish and pray for their kids not to graduate . dusty : you prayed about it ? janet : i pray about everything . dusty : well , what did god say ? janet : he said i 'm being a hypocrite 'cause i was so hard on her when she wanted to drop out after brad died . and now that 's exactly what i want her to do . dusty : well , then , it 's a good thing teenagers do n't listen to their parents . you 're not going to lose liberty when she goes to college . she 's crazy about you . you know that . janet : she does n't need me anymore . i do n't think i can handle that . [ knock on door ] parker : hey , um , liberty needs our help , fast . [ scene_break ] jack : molly had a very public relationship with the congressman . all anyone has to do is search their names on the web and they 'll get more than what they bargained for . dooley : but the fact that whitman brought a sex dvd with him begs the question , was there blackmail involved ? jack : it does n't matter . he lured molly up there and tried to rape her . she was right to defend herself the way she did . dooley : i 'm just saying -- jack : no , i 'm -- let me finish . this was n't the first time that whitman tried to attack molly . he tried to have her killed in new york , and then he got off on a technicality . dooley : these things happen . jack : it may be , but the point is , molly knew him , and she was scared enough to bring a gun along with her . and as it turns out , she was right to do so . dooley : i hear you , jack , but the problem is this dvd . jack : [ sighs ] it 's not evidence . it 's not going to change the outcome . i think molly deserves to have that back . dooley : okay . i 'll sign off on this if you will . jack : consider it done . thank you .

[ doorbell rings ] molly : aah ! it 's holden . he said he was going to pick me up when he was done with lily . carly : oh . where 's your car ? molly : it 's evidence , believe it or not . who knows when i 'll get it back . are we all good ? holden : all good . molly : i love you . carly : unhand that man ! so i can thank him for making an honest woman out of you . oh , i 'm so happy for you . you know that ? holden : thank you .

[ scene_break ] guard : you got a visitor . gabriel : do you have to be here , or can we talk in private ? craig : look at this . johnny gave it to me a few days ago . it 's supposed to be a family outing . see , this -- this is a cubs game , and this is the back wall at wrigley field . it 's -- it 's covered with ivy , so they 're always losing balls . gabriel : yeah , yeah , yeah . i 've seen it on tv . craig : well , i just wanted you to see . he , uh -- he included you in the picture . he already thinks of you as family . gabriel : shut up , shut up . craig : i just want you to understand how johnny feels . gabriel : i do n't care . okay , stop using the kid against me . it 's not fair to him . it 's not going to make me change my mind , okay ? i 'm not changing my story . craig : your story is a lie , and we both know it . gabriel , you 're punishing me for something i did n't do . it was your mother that kept us apart from each other . gabriel : no , no , no , no . craig : there 's nothing -- gabriel : do n't you dare say anything bad about my mother ! craig : right , i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry , but -- you deserve to know who your father was while you were growing up . now , i ca n't do anything about that , but i -- i am here now . gabriel : okay , okay . and that 's supposed to mean something to me ? craig : you have to tell them that you made a false statement . say that you were mad at me . say you were confused . i do n't care . but tell them the truth . tell them that i 'm not the one that attacked you and they 'll let me out of here . gabriel : yeah . and then what ? craig : then we can start over . [ scene_break ] lucinda : hi , honey . i think we need some fun around here . i think we should go away for a couple of days . i 've just got you the most amazing , dynamite bathing suit . and if you want massages , well , we can do that kind of thing . what 's the matter ? turn around . oh ! what 's happened ? lily : she said yes . holden and molly are getting married . lucinda : that 's ridiculous . molly knows better than that . she could n't say yes . it wo n't last past the cutting of the wedding cake . lily : we 'll see . lucinda : no , we wo n't ! we wo n't , because it 's not going to happen . lily : it 's happening , mother , and there 's nothing i can do to stop it . lucinda : like hell there is n't . honey , you 've got four children with him . what -- what can this man possibly be thinking ? lily : well , you 'll have to ask him . you asked me why i 'm upset . this is why i 'm upset . lucinda : oh , honey -- oh , baby , i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . oh ! lily : i do n't know why i 'm surprised . i mean , he 's been living with her for months . it 's just the reality of it , it 's so hard to take . lucinda : it 's not reality . that 's why . it 's lunacy . i mean , what man asks a woman to marry after she just popped a couple of slugs in her lover 's breast . lily : mother , do n't make a joke of this . that man attacked her . she was defending herself . lucinda : that 's the official story . okay , okay , i 'm sorry . uh , it was self- defense . fine . and i have sympathy for her traumatic experience . but , darling , molly does n't need holden to protect her . lily : and i do ? lucinda : yeah . you know what i mean , darling . he -- he 's just running to her rescue . you know , and he should know better , because she 's not the love of his life . you are . lily : not anymore . lucinda : i do n't know . there 's something wrong here , and i -- i do n't get it . something 's fishy . something 's wrong . lily : mother , holden does n't lie , okay ? he 's not going to start now . lucinda : yeah , well , maybe this is n't technically lying . lily : look , there 's no point speculating holden 's reasons for proposing to molly , all right ? there 's no reason for us to go down that road . lucinda : baby , you know i 'm right . lily : look , even if you were , okay , what , am i -- what , am i going to blackmail holden into getting back together with me ? lucinda : no , darling , that would not be a good idea , because you 're no good at blackmail . i , on the other hand -- lily : no , no . do n't you dare . do n't you get involved in this . lucinda : i wo n't ! not officially . i would like to have a conversation though with the investigating officer . [ scene_break ] gabriel : forget it , okay ? i 'm not retracting my statement . and i do n't want to start over . no matter how many times you say it , we are not family . craig : you may feel that way , but johnny does n't . he 's thrilled to have a big brother . gabriel : i told you , do n't bring the kid into this , okay ? craig : johnny is the most important thing in the world to me . and for some inexplicable reason , he loves me , and he wants me to come home . gabriel : he 's just young . he does n't know any better . he 'll learn . craig : look , i get why you ca n't stand me . i hate myself most of the time . but i look at johnny , and i -- i think , `` well , i ca n't be all bad if he thinks i 'm worth having around . `` gabriel : no , that does n't prove anything . craig : look , i 'm not asking you to like me , but i am your father . and we may never have another chance to get to know each other . gabriel : who says that i 'm interested ? craig : maybe you 're not . but you 're here . and i 'm interested in finding out about you . i asked around when you were in the hospital . liberty ciccone thinks you 're a great guy . gabriel : all right , i did n't come here to get all touchy - feely . okay , i came here to say stop using johnny as a wingman . craig : he needs family , especially if i 'm not going to be around . gabriel : damn it . you 're doing it again . and ms. walsh was right . i 'm really glad that you did n't raise me . craig : what else did ms. walsh tell you ? gabriel : nothing . it 's the whole town . they all think you 're a lowlife . and you know what ? so do i . [ scene_break ] liberty : thank you so much for helping me cram for chemistry . i think i might actually pass . mac : you 're going to ace it . i 'll see you . liberty : okay , bye . okay , one down . uh , i guess i should move on to the english paper , right ? mom , what 's wrong ? janet : i 've read this thing like 15 times . i have no idea what he 's saying . i 'm so sorry . i guess i 'm not as good as i thought i was . liberty : it 's okay . shakespeare is confusing . janet : no , it 's not okay ! i 'm supposed to be helping you , and i 'm letting you down . dusty : let me see . janet : good luck . dusty : `` when in disgrace with fortune and men 's eyes , i all alone beweep -- `` blah , blah , blah , blah .

[ scene_break ] jack : are you accusing me of obstructing justice on molly 's behalf ? carly : it kind of looked that way to me . jack : you got to be kidding me . carly : and after you gave me such a hard time about parker . jack : parker 's case is completely different , carly . carly : how so ? jack : oh , for god 's sakes ! the pig tried to rape your cousin , so she shot him ! and yeah , it was in self - defense , but it was still traumatic . carly : oh , i know it was traumatic . i 'm not saying it was n't traumatic . what i do n't understand is this -- this secret club you guys have , the three of you . jack : molly was -- was the victim of a sex crime . those cases tend to be a bit delicate . carly : i love my cousin . i would like to help my cousin . but i ca n't if i do n't know the truth . jack : it 's not my place to say . but when something like this happened between a man and a woman and there was prior consensual relationship and the relationship changes , well , then the facts tend to get skewed , and not necessarily in favor of the woman . carly : so even though silas was stalking molly , a jury might find that she brought it on herself because she 's a man - stealing whore ? jack : to put it bluntly , yes . carly : and so that dvd -- jack : was not for public consumption . carly : so you buried the evidence and you gave molly a free pass when you would n't do that for parker . [ jack groans ] carly : you just had to get your hands on that stupid glass angel . jack : how can you compare the two ? carly : parker is your son ! we all know that craig is guilty . he stole parker 's trust fund . he torched monte carlo for the insurance money . these are things that he did intentionally . what parker did to gabriel was an accident . so why are molly and craig getting the benefit of the doubt while parker and i are thrown to the wolves ! jack : excuse me ! you destroyed evidence right in front of me , carly , and i covered for you . how am i not giving you the benefit of the doubt ? carly : it did n't have to come to that . jack : but it did ! i was protecting you , and because of that , i might never find out the truth about what really happened . i think that gabriel is lying about what craig did , but because you destroyed evidence , i might never be able to prove it . carly : good . i do n't want you to .

[ scene_break ] liberty : does that look right ? parker : yeah . no , it 's perfect . but do you know how you did it ? liberty : i actually do . i ca n't believe i am saying this , but i think i 'm ready . between you and mac , i 've got the number stuff down . and after that love speech dusty gave -- parker : he 's really into your mom , is n't he ? liberty : yeah . it 's really cool . and the best part is it gave me something to write about . parker : you wrote your paper about dusty ? liberty : i never told you this , but after my dad died , i decided not to go to college . parker : no , i remember that . your mom went ballistic . liberty : but when i changed my mind , i had to write an essay for the application , and everything seemed so stupid compared to what was happening in my real life that i decided to get drunk . parker : that 's a great idea . liberty : yeah , i know , especially since i got carded . but dusty was there , and we talked , and he told me it was okay to write about reality . you know , it was okay to be sad , because everyone knows what that 's about . so i went home and wrote the essay . and i did the same thing today , except it was like part two . i wrote about my mom being happy after everything that 's happened this year . parker : do you think i can read it ? liberty : too embarrassing . besides , i have to turn it in and take my exams . the proctor 's meeting me in the library in a few minutes . do n't look now , but i think i might actually be graduating tomorrow , thanks to you . parker : hey , look , all i did was bring people here , okay , and i -- i helped you study for calculus . but this was all you . liberty : that 's the thing about you . you do n't get how much you help me . you just do it . you 've come a long way since you helped me with math back in the day . parker : yeah . everything 's changed .

[ scene_break ] carly : why ca n't you just accept it ? gabriel said that craig tried to kill him . craig is in jail , awaiting trial . case closed . jack : not if he did n't do it . this investigation , carly , is a complete mess , and you 're not helping the situation out at all . carly : somebody has to be on parker 's side . jack : that 's not just what i mean . why is everything always a test with you ? `` how far will jack go for me ? is he loyal ? who matters more than me ? `` why ca n't you just have faith in me ? carly : having faith in you will not keep parker out of jail . jack : you see , carly ? after everything we 've been through , you automatically assume you know what i 'm thinking . why would i throw parker to the wolves ? carly : i have no idea . jack : i would n't ! i 'm trying to do right by parker and still find out the truth . carly : well , you ca n't have both , jack . you 're going to have to choose . and if you choose parker , then you might have to bend the rules a little bit . i know you hate that , but if you want to help him , that 's what you 're going to have to do . jack : well , it 's -- it 's out of my hands . all we can do is hope that nothing else comes to light that helps margo reopen the case . carly : you ought to do more than hope . parker : what 's dad so upset about ? carly : nothing for you to worry about , sweetheart . nothing at all .

[ scene_break ] jessica : i know you 're used to playing games . you 've made a career out of it . but the games you 're playing now , somebody 's going to get hurt , and , of course , it 's not gon na be you . so why do n't you go on back to your little cheerleaders or your groupies , or whoever finds you amusing ? doc : okay , you think i 'm inappropriate , huh ? got the nerve to come down here and ambush me at work -- kim : is there some sort of problem ? do you need a referee ? [ scene_break ] james : i 've a fascinating life . many adventures , many victories , but now fatherhood is the only thing that matters to me . a son , my son . i 'll teach him everything i know , give him power . the world will be his for the taking . there 'll be nothing that my son ca n't accomplish . paul was to be my greatest achievement . paul stenbeck . he had it all . paul : if you all of a sudden know where cabot is , you better clue the rest of us in . jordan : well , it 's become pretty clear that my new brother wo n't help me find my son . so i 'll go to someone who will . paul : who ? stenbeck ? jennifer : paul , that 's his decision . paul : yeah , well , it 's a terrible decision . jordan , you go to see james for help and he will -- you will be his . he will want something back in return -- your silence , a favor , promise , your loyalty . you 'll pay . jordan , you will pay and pay and pay , and you will keep paying until finally one of you is just dead . james : sometimes our greatest expectation can lead to our greatest disappointment . it 's not entirely paul 's fault , in all fairness to him that he did n't realize his full potential . once his mother embedded her talons in him , there 's nowhere for that boy to go but down . [ scene_break ] barbara : if you only knew half of what james put paul through when he was growing up -- when paul was a little boy , i had to hide him from james . and when he was a teenager , i did my best to rescue him from his father . having a father like james is like having poison running through your veins . paul always thought that something dark and evil would swallow him up . i 've had that same fear . i just have to fight against it . walker : you ca n't keep that up forever . barbara : no , no , not forever . only until the day the devil puts a sign up in hell saying , `` welcome , james stenbeck . `` [ scene_break ] james : a mother can be a noisome thing . when i think what paul could have been had i been his only influence -- but now he has no life that does n't belong to barbara . but fortune saw to it that i had another chance for immortality -- another son . and i made sure that he would n't be suffering from the slow suffocation of a coddling mother . i gave him something few men ever have , a chance to grow and learn without the whim of a woman . [ phone ringing ] james : so i took the child from his nursery -- james : and put him somewhere safe , where his mother could never find him . james : i fulfilled jordan 's every need . he had everything that i could provide -- a fine education , a promising career . and without the influence of a woman to make him soft and sentimental . he grew up to be a fine young man , a man of honor . i gave him a family . now he has it all . will he take and use the gifts i gave him ? only time will tell . [ scene_break ] paul : what about jennifer ? have you thought about what would happen to her if you bring james into your life ? james is not some misunderstood benefactor with a heart of gold ! there 's a reason he 's behind bars ! jordan : i 'm aware of that , paul . paul : then do n't get all sentimental . dear old dad is not the answer to your prayers ! you want to risk your life ? you go ahead , do it . i dare you . but you will be putting jennifer right in his line of fire . now , is that something you really want to do ? [ scene_break ] james : my hypothesis was correct . jordan stenbeck , raised without apron strings , is superior to paul in every way . he 's his own man . he can achieve anything , and he owes it all to his father . what do you think of my social experiment , dr. ferris ? dr. ferris : what i think does n't matter , you know that , james . what does your son , jordan , think ? is he grateful to you ? is he thriving ? james : jordan has n't realized what an asset i can be in his life . but he 'll learn that very soon . it 's at a turning point now , it 's very critical . he needs a helping hand . he needs his father .

do you even know what this whole thing was about ? carly : why do n't you tell me ? jack : first , he blew off his chores , and then he stole a key to get out the bb gun without permission and unload it for target practice . carly : well , he 's used the gun before . am i right ? you taught him how to do it safely . jack : but we have always said that he 's never allowed to shoot it without an adult present . he knows that . this was serious , carly . carly : all right . all right . well , maybe he just needs some understanding . jack : oh , okay . so you 're saying that parker 's acting out because i 'm not listening ? carly , this is about -- this is about you . when he blows a gasket , it 's because he 's mad at you . carly : it 's my fault ? jack : you know what ? what you say does n't matter because when you abandoned your kids , you lost the right to express an opinion about our family . carly : oh no , no , no , no . i am their mother . and you can be mad at me -- you can resent the hell out of me for coming back . but i did come back . i came back and i 'm not going anywhere . jack : yh , you keep saying that . carly : and the last thing i intend to do is surrender my right to weigh in on what my children need . if i think being sent away is not what parker needs , you 're damn right i 'm going to speak up about it whether you like it or not . j.j. : they 're fighting again . parker : so what ?

and so i could n't come up with anything , but barbara -- can i call you barbara , ms . ryan ? barbara : yes , you may call me barbara . cleo : okay , good . barbara , i do n't know you very well , but i can tell that you 're a very intelligent woman . and i bet you could come up with a great reason for gwen to change her mind . which would be totally awesome , especially since the idea would come from you . barbara : you know something , cleo -- you might have something there . will : where are you going ? gwen : you said we had to do it in every room ! we still have the living room and the kitchen to go . will : okay , whatever you say . gwen : see ? you did n't want to help get cleo a job , but it paid off just to get her out of the house . will : yes . my wife is a real genius . she was right , as usual . gwen : admit it -- she 's not as bad as you thought ? will : no , she 's not that bad , but for a mousy girl , she does leave a big footprint . gwen : aw , come on . she 's got a good side . will : okay , fine . yeah , she does . gwen : you 're a big old softy . will : well i 'm not going to be for too long if you keep doing that . gwen : really ?

for who ? lance : i got us a new distributor . alison : who is it ? lance : his name 's manny , and he 's a real player . he 's looking for the real thing , you know . legit talent with a hot look . and that 's you all the way , baby . look , you 're going to blow up , all right ?

jack : she had to leave . j.j. : but why ? i thought you two were going to work things out . jack : let 's go inside . i 've got to get ready for work . parker : told you so . j.j. : this is all your fault . mom knew you did n't want her to stay so she left ! parker : oh , sure , do n't blame her for running off with a stupid boyfriend . blame me -- jack : okay , okay . guys , all right . it 's nobody 's fault . we all feel differently about your mom leaving , that 's just how it is . j.j. : what 's going to happen ? jack : i do n't know what 's going to happen . but we 're not going to figure that out tonight , okay . sage is at her friend jill 's house . now , can i trust you two to stay here and not to kill each other while i go to work ? huh ? or do i need to get a sitter ? parker : we can stay here on our own . jack : j.j. ? j.j. : yeah . jack : you do n't go anywhere without permission . that includes visits to your mom , do you understand me ? j.j. : but dad -- jack : i know . i know you want to see her , okay . and you will . but not until everybody 's on the same page and knows what the boundaries are . j.j. : when 's that going to be ? jack : i do n't know . but in the meantime , i need you to follow my rules . can i trust you to do that ? parker ? parker : what ? jack : you 're still on notice . and for the 100th time , i want you to put that bb gun away ! parker : i will . jack : do your chores and do n't pick any more fights with your brother , okay ? j.j. : you 'll be sorry . will : you know i 'm not cleo 's biggest fan . but this time i 've got to hand it to her . it 's a nice idea . barbara : well , she 's a little off - center , to say the least , but you know , i think the girl does have a lot of insight . and you never know what 's in a person 's heart . will : yeah . she is kind of sensitive when it comes to gwen . maybe she 's just trying to pay us back for all the weirdness . barbara : you know , something does stump me , though . why 've the two of you taken her in ? will : it 's crazy , i guess . barbara : yeah . you always did have a soft spot for strays . anyway , i hope that gwen goes along with this . i better be going . it would mean a lot to hal , god rest his soul . will : bye , mom . barbara : bye , honey . cleo : hi , will . will : hey . how are you ? cleo : i 'm okay , i guess . will : you guess ? cleo : uh -- something happened . will : cleo ? cleo : i might have done something bad . will : what 'd you do ? cleo : i saw your mom and i could n't help saying something about gwen 's demo . will : i know . it 's okay . cleo : you 're not mad ?

jack : there was a while back , i talked to him about adopting him -- you know , making everything legal between us . tom : this is after hal was killed ? jack : yeah . but the timing was n't right , and parker said he was n't ready . and i understood that he was grieving and everything . but i never should have let it go . i mean , i 've basically been his full - time dad since he was a little kid . just that we never signed anything . tom : well that 's something attorneys do n't like to hear , jack . jack : yeah , yeah . well i did n't think , it did n't matter at the time though , tom . do you understand ? tom : and because carly 's back , now it does ? jack : we 're not seeing eye to eye on how to handle the kids . not the kids , not the house , not the color of the sky . tom : so what do you want ? jack : i just want to know that i have some kind of legal authority to make the best decisions for them . tom : so what makes you think that carly 's going to even interfere ? jack : okay , with sage and j.j. , she probably won't . but parker is acting out , and we are both having very different opinions on how to handle it . she even reminded me that i 'm not his biological father . so , i was wondering if we could sign something now that would make me his legal guardianship . cop : sorry , detective , i tried to tell her you and mr . hughes were in a meeting . carly : you may as well call this guy off , because there 's no way i 'm leaving . i should have known . there is no way you 're taking my kids from me . do you understand me , jack ?

[ scene_break ] aaron : listen , alison , saying you can work with patients again does n't make up for kicking you out of nursing school . alison : i know , but it 's a step in the right direction . aaron : this is chris throwing you a bone . and that should n't change your mind about suing his butt off . alison : what do you think , bonnie ? bonnie : yes . yes , i agree . this is not the time to back down . the fact that they 're even throwing you this olive branch means that they 're worried . they know you have a strong case . they are trying to soften you up . aaron : yeah , and you ca n't fall for it . bonnie : just do n't worry , alison . this is where they could trip up and do something desperate . [ scene_break ] chris : hope i 'm not bothering you , mom . kim : oh , honey , do n't be silly . i always have time for you . what 's up ? chris : alison 's getting serious about taking her lawsuit to court . now , if it were only my future on the line , that would be one thing . but i 'm really worried about the damage it could do to dad and memorial . kim : well , do you think that alison actually can win this case ? chris : well , it 's her word versus mine . i 'm not saying i did anything wrong , but if her lawyer can get a judge to be sympathetic , it can really jeopardize the hospital . think about the stress that would put on dad . kim : well , now wait a minute . you know how strong your father is . and sweetheart , he can get through this . chris : i just wish there was something i can do to make it all go away . kim : actually , there may be something that i can do about it . chris : like what ? kim : i 'll tell you about it if it works , okay ? chris : mom , what are you up to ? kim : listen , do not breathe a word of this to your father . you just leave it to me . [ scene_break ] kim : hi . susan : if this is about alison 's case , it is not appropriate . kim : do n't shoot the messenger , okay ? susan : i got to get back to the hospital . kim : wait . i asked for two minutes . you may not want to hear this right now , but you and i have a lot in common . susan : we do , and there 's nothing we can do about the situation . kim : well , i 'm not so sure about that . we both love our kids . we both would do anything to protect our families , right ? susan : of course . but this is n't some boo - boo that we can kiss and make better . kim : look , if this case goes to court , there are n't gon na be any winners . everybody 's gon na lose . reputations will be trashed . not to mention the damage that could be done to the hospital . now i know that your first priority is alison . of course , it should be . but for just one minute , stop and think about the hospital . think about memorial and how much you and bob have invested in it . [ scene_break ] lily : this is our last family dinner before the girls go away to sleepaway camp . holden : lily , i have no problem staying for dinner . the issue here is you trying to fix up luke and noah . lily : it 's just dinner . holden : yeah , but if you pressured noah into coming here , he might not be in the right frame to try and patch things up with luke . lily : he could 've said no . he did n't . is it totally impossible that deep down , he was looking for an excuse to see luke anyway ? holden : i 'm just saying that you should not push these things . [ scene_break ] noah : i almost forgot how much i love doing farm chores . luke : well , you can muck out the stables for me any time you like . noah : yeah , no thanks . luke : look , noah , i know you do n't want to be here . i can make some excuse so you can leave . noah : do you want me to go ? luke : you know i do n't .

[ lily chuckles ] lily : that was sweet of noah to offer to help . luke : oh , come on , mom . he 's does n't know anything about mechanics . he ca n't fix his truck . he just does n't want to be with me . lily : that could change . [ luke sighs ] luke : look , mom , it 's so , so nice of you to try , but please , this is n't making anything better for me and noah . lily : will you help me with the salad ? luke : okay . mom ? lily : yeah , sweetie ? luke : i know that you and ethan and the girls have moved back to the house , but i was wondering , if it 's okay with you , if i could stay here at the farm with dad . lily : you 're an adult . it 's your choice . luke : i mean , it 's just that this is where i lived with noah before he married ameera and moved out . i do n't know . moving back to the house , back to my room that i had in high school ? i mean , that 's just kind of pathetic , is n't it ? lily : i understand . i 'll miss you . and i want you to be happy . luke : i would be , with noah . lily : right now , i think the best thing for you is to concentrate on school , luke . luke : hmm , i wonder if they have a class on how not to lose your boyfriend . [ lily chuckles ] lily : if they do , let me know . luke : well , one thing i 've already -- you do n't have to do anything wrong to have it go all downhill . [ scene_break ] holden : well , that went faster than i thought it would . thanks . noah : glad to help . holden : here you go . are you sure that you 're cool with staying for dinner ? noah : oh , yeah . yeah , sure . holden : because lily , she tends to push things sometimes , and i hope she did n't put you in an awkward position . noah : the food here is better than my meal plan anyway , not that i 'm looking to move back in . holden : i understand . noah : you and mrs. snyder , you guys have been so good to me . i wish things were better with me and luke . i do n't know what to say here . i wish i had the answers , but i do n't . holden : yeah , i know the feeling . i guess all you can really do is just hang in there . [ scene_break ] emily : okay , i 'll see you later , all right ? will you call me ? daniel : i thought you were staying for dinner . emily : something came up . i have to go . daniel : work again ? emily : not really . come on , i got to go . i 'll see you . i love you . good - bye . casey : hey , are you okay ? do you want me to go with you ? emily : no , i 'm fine . i got ta go . margo : okay , it 's dinnertime . casey : i 'm not hungry . i 'm gon na take off . margo : this is a family dinner -- you 're family . go sit .

[ scene_break ] susan : as you said , alison is my priority . i have to protect her . kim : and you know , i feel exactly the same way about my husband and my son . if this goes to court , the fallout will not be just one - sided . my husband and my son will not be the only ones who get hurt . susan : are you threatening my daughter now , too ? kim : no . no , susan , the point is both chris and alison are going to be subject to a certain amount of raking over the coals . will you please tell me what good can come out of doing that kind of damage ? susan : it 's your son who 's done the damage . kim : i do n't think that either one of us wants to see our kids or the hospital dragged through the mud . think about it , susan , before it 's too late . [ scene_break ] susan : oh , alison , i 'm so glad you 're here . alison : oh , well , my shift 's about to start , and they 're letting me work with patients again . i was n't expecting cartwheels , but what 's wrong ? susan : i 've just been thinking . maybe you should reconsider taking this case to court . alison : mom , we have been over this . why are you getting cold feet all of a sudden ? susan : all i 'm saying is , do you really want to go to war with the hughes family , with the hospital , with no idea of how it 's gon na end or who 's gon na be standing when the smoke clears ? this lawsuit could wind up causing you more damage than good . emily : i can not believe you 're telling her to roll over and play dead ! she needs to follow through . in fact , you need to take out the big guns and blow that guy away ! susan : stop it . you can not say things like that in the hospital . emily : why not ? what are you afraid of ? huh ? you afraid someone named hughes will get you both fired ? susan : do me a favor -- put a sock in it . emily : do n't listen to mom . and do n't you dare wave the white flag . you can not let chris walk all over you . susan : you got ta stop . she could be getting in over her head here . emily : do n't be ridiculous , mother . she needs to follow through and not let anyone intimidate her . not an overprotective mother and certainly not the hughes family . [ scene_break ] margo : danny , help your brother . daniel : yeah . tom : you clear and i 'll do the dishes . margo : good . remind me how i found such a perfect husband . tom : oh , so i 'm doing the pots and pans , too . daniel : listen , dad , can i go hang out at eric 's ? tom : yeah , sure . why not ? if you 're not too late . daniel : see ya . casey : i 'm gon na go out , too , okay ? tom : yeah , just hold on a second , pal . we need to talk about emily . [ scene_break ] emily : you can not let anyone named hughes stick it to us again , ali . susan : this is not your fight , emily . emily : mother , would you wake up , please ? think about the history you have with them , with bob -- your affair with him . kim 's made you out to be the town pariah ever since . susan : this has absolutely nothing to do with me and bob . emily : of course it does . alison : no , no , i think it has more to do with emily and her not - so - rosy history with chris and tom . emily : i will be the first person to admit i 'm not on great terms with tom or chris . they both hurt me , but now chris is hurting you . my god , when is it time to stand up and say `` enough is enough `` ? [ scene_break ] casey : why do you want to talk to me about emily ? tom : first , i do n't think it was a good idea that we let you go on this trip to new york with her . and for the moment , i think its best that you steer clear of her and alison , at least until this lawsuit is settled . casey : i disagree totally . what does any of this have to do with me ? margo : your father has to take the case to court . it could get ugly . casey : not my problem . alison is still my friend . and emily -- i just think you 're making too much out of this . that 's all . if i want to hang out with emily and alison , i will . tom : yeah , well , this may get complicated . casey : no , i do n't care . you ca n't tell me whose side to be on . i 'm an adult . i can make my own choices . tom : i think that went well , do n't you ? [ margo chuckles ] [ scene_break ] alison : i really do n't need your advice here , emily . i mean , it 's obvious you still have an ax to grind when it comes to chris . emily : i warned you not to go near that guy , to stay away from him , but you did n't listen , and now you 're paying the price . susan : please , please , could we not fight about this ? alison : no , no , i need to have this out with my sister , since emily never knows when to quit . emily : no , you 're the one who 's quitting , ali , not me . alison : i am not ! but i do n't need you butting in and making things worse . emily : i 'm trying to help you . alison : you want to help ? stay out of it . mind your own business . and do not mess up my life . susan : she 's right , you know . emily : do n't start with me , mother . coming here , trying to do right by my sister ? big mistake . what else is new ?

[ carly sighs ] carly : craig , last night is not problem -- you are . i know you want to help , but you ca n't . not anymore . craig : why not ? carly : because the more i let you into my life , the more i lose everybody else . craig : now you 're exaggerating . carly : i 'm not . my son , his father , my sister -- they all hate you . craig : well , then , maybe you should think about doing what you know is right , instead of worrying about what other people think . carly : they 're my family . they 're all i have . and they all want you out of my life . craig : well then , i guess it 's my job to change their minds . carly : craig ! craig : starting with rosanna .

[ rosanna laughs ] rosanna : well , i do n't know if you noticed , but the corporation is gone and -- and so is the honcho . it 's a different world . i 'm a different person now . paul : okay . i mean , if you 're okay with that . rosanna : yeah , sure . i mean , it 's fine . it does n't matter . it 's all good . hard - driving rosanna cabot is gone , and she 's not coming back .

[ bonnie clears throat ] bonnie : nope , probably not the one you 're telling yourself right now . derek : yeah , well , why do n't you tell me yours ? [ scene_break ] paul : so this whole `` finding a job `` thing -- i mean , that 's just , you know , something to do while you implement your secret plan to get your money back from craig , right ? rosanna : i do n't have a secret plan . paul : you 're joking . you 're not angry at him that he took all your money ? [ rosanna sighs ] rosanna : well , i was at first , but then , you know , after i woke up out of the coma , i did everything i could to figure out how to get it back . and , when i ended up at the farm , i -- i realized that i really just did n't need it anymore . i realized the virtues of a simpler life . paul : okay , so you get the money back , and then you can buy yourself a really big , enormous simple life with lots of virtues . rosanna : i do n't want the money back , and i do n't want to even think about what it would take to get it back . paul : all it would take is a really good plan . rosanna : a plan or a war ? listen , i do n't have the strength for that anymore . paul : you have the strength to wait tables at al 's ? rosanna : that 's no worse than working at a -- a farm stand . and i actually found that rather fulfilling . paul : did you , now ? rosanna : yes . paul : how very zen . rosanna : you 're obviously not the type to give up something you think is yours . paul : exactly . why would i do that ? rosanna : it 's a little thing that is called `` letting go . `` paul : mmm , letting go is one thing , okay ? i get that , you know ? if you gave your money to charity or something , but you -- you did n't choose to do this . craig took your money . he took away with it any choice that you had . rosanna : right . and i do n't want to fight him . paul : we could fight him together . rosanna : you do n't have enough problems ? paul : and i like distractions .

[ scene_break ] damian : well , i know from personal experience that keeping a loving father from his child leads to disaster . [ meg chuckles ] meg : usually caused by the loving father . damian : usually . and the one ends up hurting the most is the child . meg : you do n't think i 'm giving in to paul because i 'm afraid of what he might do ? damian : are you ? meg : no . no , not really . i really do believe that it will be better for eliza to have a relationship with her father . i mean , paul , in his own way , has proven how much he loves her . and i 'm not gon na leave her alone with him , but i do want her to know him . and i 'm not gon na cut her off from barbara , either . damian : i think all those are excellent reasons . [ meg exhales sharply ] meg : i 'm not so sure anybody else would think so . damian : if you 're referring to your brother , he has strong opinions , yes . meg : well , they 're nothing compared to my mother .

breaking up is hard to do in oakdale as derek breaks up with bonnie because he gets upset that she left her underwear in dusty 's glove compartment . bonnie tries to explain that nothing happened between her and dusty she just took them off because she was sick and they felt uncomfortable . bonnie explains to derek that she was always fully covered and dusty did n't even know she took them off . derek gets jealous and bonnie reminds derek they never had an official relationship . meg tells dusty that they ca n't have a relationship if he continues his war with paul because he is eliza 's father and paul will always be a part of eliza 's life . dusty and bonnie later drown their sorrows at the lakeview and tell each other they have been dumped .

[ scene_break ] craig : i think you went into gabriel 's hospital room where you had a captive audience and you pressured him to lie to the police . lucinda : he did n't lie . craig : well , obviously he did , because i did n't attack him . lucinda : oh god , it 's just like you . it 's so like you . you commit horrific crimes , and then you blame somebody else . craig : i 'm not a murderer . lucinda : in this instance only because gabriel did n't die . craig : how did you get to him , lucinda ? was it your typical m.o . where your wallet is always willing to buy someone 's soul ? lucinda : this is so tedious . it 's really tedious . why -- why would i want ? what would i have to gain from that ? craig : the pleasure of my misery . lucinda : ah . yeah , yeah . but , why would i waste my time ? craig : i know you 're responsible for turning my son against me . lucinda : where 's the proof ? craig : well , let 's see . tom could always subpoena the hospital for their security videos . should n't take too long to find out if you spent any time alone with gabriel . lucinda : well , so what if i did ? if i were to have done it , after all , he 's part of the family . craig : yeah . the maid 's family . i wonder if lily would like to hear any of this . she 's feeling so guilty right now , there 's no way that she would lie to me . and if she 's not aware of your recent antics , i 'm sure she 'd be interested to hear about them . [ scene_break ] teri : okay , do you think we need to get a banner or something ? dusty : i do n't think so . i mean , liberty 's not even coming . teri : i know , but it 's jan 's day , too you know , and i want it to be special . dusty : it 's going to be special . teri : okay . hey , nice touch with those flowers you got libby today . dusty : not very original . teri : yeah . i noticed you looked a little hurt that jack 's got there first .

[ scene_break ] jack : i 'm glad you came in . gabriel : i did n't realize i had a choice . jack : the d.a . 's bringing craig 's case in front of the grand jury in a couple days . gabriel : so ? jack : so they 're going to have questions . gabriel : okay , well , i 've already told you everything i know . jack : yeah . there 's some inconsistencies with your story , however . for example , the paper weight that you said craig hit you over the head with -- it 's actually a glass figurine , very fragile . it would have shattered on impact . can you explain why that did n't happen ? gabriel : no . i was actually out cold . jack : right . of course . yeah , the e.r . report says that , um , you suffered blunt - force trauma to the head . gabriel : yeah . jack : you told margo that you had hit your head before in your fight with parker , so there would have been two head injuries . it would have been next to impossible for craig to hit you in the same exact spot , do n't you think ? gabriel : i do n't know . jack : your stories do n't match up , gabriel . and if you perjure yourself on the witness stand under oath in front of a grand jury , you will go to jail . so i 'm giving you one last chance . tell me the truth . i know it 's hard to admit you made a mistake , but it can be rectified . you can still do the right thing . look at me . gabriel : no , i did n't make a mistake , okay ? i -- i ca n't explain the bump on my head or the angel , but -- but there has to be an explanation , because i 'm telling the truth . okay , my father tried to kill me , and he needs to be punished for it . can i go now ? jack : sure . go on .

[ scene_break ] lucinda : lily would never believe your lies about me . [ craig laughs ] craig : even you do n't believe that . she 's furious at you for convincing her to keep my son away from me all these years . she 'd bend over backwards just to assuage the guilt she feels . [ lucinda chuckles ] lucinda : `` assuage . `` this is desperate -- a desperate attempt to cover up your own misdeeds . trying to kill your own child -- filicide i think they call it -- they should rename that . call it montgomery syndrome . craig : would you like to ask lily to come see me , or shall i do it myself ? lucinda : do n't threaten me . it 's not going to work . [ craig laughs ] craig : it 's already working . lucinda : we 'll see . [ scene_break ] parker : i think gabriel may be lying about craig knocking him out and leaving him to die in the fire . faith : did he tell you that ? parker : my dad 's been asking him a lot of questions , and i think he may have figured it out . faith : so what does that mean ? you really did it ? parker : i -- i do n't know . i mean , i had no idea that there was going to be a fire . but i did leave him there . i mean , he was breathing , but he was unconscious . and if it turns out that craig did n't do it , then i could end up going to jail after all . faith : no way . your father would not do that to you . parker : i do n't know . he may not have a choice . faith : parker -- parker : no , no . i -- i do n't think there 's anything i can do now to fix it . but -- but what i 'm worried about is gabriel . i mean , he was willing to -- to make up a story and send his own father to jail for something that he possibly did n't even do . faith : that is cold . parker : and he 's spending a lot of time with liberty . i do n't think she should have anything to do with him . faith : that 's kind of up to her , is n't it ? carly : all right . all set . you guys ready ? [ scene_break ] liberty : i think i 'm supposed to go line up with everyone else soon . teri : are you excited ? liberty : i just hope i do n't trip when i go up there to get my diploma . janet : all right , that was katie . jacob 's running a fever . she 's not going to be able to make it . liberty : oh , bummer . but i 'm glad you all are here . jack : hey . hey , everybody . am i late ? dusty : no , no . right on time . liberty : thank you so much for the flowers , uncle jack . they were beautiful . jack : my pleasure , liberty . janet : okay . you ready ? liberty : are you kidding ? after yesterday -- i 'd better go . janet : okay . liberty : i 'll see you out there . janet : good luck . dusty : good luck . carly : oh , right there . liberty : hi , guys . girl : are you ready ? liberty : i ca n't believe that it 's really here . carly : liberty 's a great kid , janet . you must be very proud . she owes it all to you , i 'm sure . did you have your -- your meeting with gabriel ? jack : yes . carly : and ?

[ scene_break ] teri : i think you got it , janet . janet : okay . principal : now for our closing remarks , i 'd like to hand over the microphone to a graduate who has had more than her share of adversity this year but still managed to come out on top . may i present to you ms. liberty ciccone . [ applause ] [ liberty clears throat ] liberty : when i first came to this school , all i wanted to do was cut class . and i ditched a lot . i guess i wanted a little more drama in my life . but be careful what you wish for , because since then , my life has been nothing but drama . i will spare you all the gory details . most of you already know them anyway . and that 's not what matters today . the important thing is i would not be standing here if it were n't for the people who loved me and fought for me and with me and made me realize what 's really important . you did n't give up on me , even when it would have been the easier thing to do . i want to thank all of my teachers for letting me make up my work and take all my exams up to the very last minute . and i would like to thank parker snyder . i used to be nice to him just so he would do my math homework , but that all changed when i realized what an awesome guy he is . he sat by my bedside the entire time i was sick , even when it got really ugly , and he never looked away . and even yesterday , he rallied the troops to help me prepare for my exams . and no , he did n't do my math homework this time . when it comes to parker , the word `` friend `` does not even begin to cover it . and then there 's my mom -- hi , mom -- who sacrificed so much for me and taught me that no matter how hard things are , life can still be an adventure and full of fun . whenever i fell down or messed up , i always knew you 'd be there to pick me up . okay , so please do n't stop , because a high - school diploma does n't guarantee that i 'll never do anything stupid again . i 'm always , always going to need you with me . there 's , um , one person i wish with all my heart could be here today , and that 's my dad . he 's the real reason i 'm graduating . i know this sounds nuts , but um , even after he died , when i wanted to drop out , he convinced me that i needed to stay in school . and he told me that whenever i missed him , i could look up in the stars , and he 'd be there , looking back down at me . except we 're inside right now , and it 's the middle of the day . but he 's always with me . i 'm so lucky . i have an awesome family and amazing friends and an incredible future as bright as , well , the stars . thank you .

[ scene_break ] [ voice breaking ] liberty : i really miss you , dad . nothing has gone right since you died , not even today . it was all going perfectly , and then it just went to pieces . are you following me ? gabriel : yeah , sort of . look , i just wanted to apologize for ruining your graduation party . i only came here to say goodbye . liberty : where are you going ? gabriel : just anywhere , somewhere else not here . liberty : parker was right . you lied about craig , and now you 're leaving town so you do n't have to admit he never hit you . gabriel : oh , come on . look , it 's more complicated than that . liberty : no , it 's not ! you just hate him , so you decided to send him to prison . [ voice breaking ] look , i know craig is not perfect , but at least he 's alive . do you have any idea what i would give to have my father here with me ? you are so lucky , and you 're too stupid to realize it . gabriel : okay , i do n't know . maybe you 're right , okay ? but i just do n't know what i 'm supposed to do anymore . liberty : well , i do . stay here and tell the truth . no matter how hard your childhood was , it 's over , okay ? you ca n't change it . and whatever craig did , he did n't do it intentionally . he did n't even know about you . you ca n't make him pay for something he did n't even do just so you can get revenge . [ scene_break ] carly : you did a nice job filling in for brad today . i know it was n't easy . jack : it 's the least i could do . well , i should go . carly : wait . would you like a cup of coffee ? jack : i 'd love one . it was nice being together today , simple , just enjoying a happy occasion . carly : yeah , it was . i wish -- jack : i know . so do i . [ cell phone ringing ] carly : janet . you should get that . jack : hi . janet : jack , i 'm sorry to bother you . parker was just here . apparently there was a fight after the graduation , and gabriel and liberty took off . and given what happened last time , i 'm worried . jack : um , i 'm on my way . carly : what happened ? jack : [ sighs ] apparently , there was some kind of fight at the lakeview . liberty took off with gabriel . i got to go . carly : well , i 'm coming with you . [ scene_break ] lucinda : lily , honey , not -- not to worry . i -- i do think everything 's going to be just fine . bye . what do you want ? craig : either you straighten out this mess with gabriel or i 'm going to start acting like the monster that you already think i am .
it is a a happy but tense day for liberty 's family and friends as they gather for liberty 's graduation and liberty gives the closing remarks in which she thanks parker , brad and janet for all their help in getting her to this day . liberty also tells her family and friends how much she loves them . jack and carly are tense because jack still wants to get to the truth about what happened the day of the fire and carly fears jack 's search for the truth could land parker in jail .

cleo : really ? i mean , i have to be at work really soon , but i 'd love to . oh , thank you so much . and i ca n't wait to see the expression on your friend 's face . she 's going to be so psyched ! maddie : i do n't know anything about cell phone broadcasts . noah : sure you do . i 've got the evidence right here . maddie : oh , come on , not that again . noah : good things last , maddie . maddie : sending that was an accident . and not to mention , very personal . i was just -- i was missing my boyfriend . noah : go on . maddie : are you shooting me ? noah : relax , you look great . most people look washed out on these things . no bad angles , right ? luke : i guess . maddie : so , i 'm assuming that you 've taped with a cell phone , too ? noah : i prefer a digital camcorder . the image is clearer and it 's all we need if we do this . luke : okay , well where are we going to get one of those ? noah : we can use mine . i flipped burgers every friday last year just to buy one . maddie : okay , well good . then we have equipment . noah : the only other things we need are a computer , bluetooth or a usb port . maddie : done . um , who 's going to direct ? noah : me . if no one minds . maddie : nope -- luke : i don't . noah : i 'm thinking one or two minute segments . we 'll feature you , okay ? maddie : um , okay . i 'm up for that . noah : you know , if kim likes what she sees , maybe she 'll get a cell phone carrier to stream the episodes for us . luke : wait , noah , do you actually think that people are going to get into a two minute segment ? noah : maddie 's show got to me . maddie : i was talking to casey or at least i thought i was . i could n't fake that or even come close to it . noah : that 's why we need a writer , someone who can give us something fresh , that really gets people hooked . maddie : i know who would be perfect . noah : luke 's a writer ? luke : what ? no , no , no , only in my mind . maddie : oh , no , no , come on , you can do this . luke : no . no possible way . craig : where are you hiding her ? paul : you want to check under the bed ? craig : she 's got to be somewhere . paul : paranoia runs deep . craig : shut up . paul : you 're not very secure with your wife - to - be , are you ? craig : meg ! paul : how much did you have to fork over to get that pass key , craig ? it might be cheaper next time for you to just put a tail on meg . craig : oh , you got an another door to another room -- paul : you need to calm down . you need to get a grip . you know , meg 's not a fan of this whole temper tantrum thing . craig : i do n't need you to tell me what meg likes or dislikes . paul : you afraid she just stopped by for a little quickie ? craig : oh yeah , you 'd love that , would n't you ? paul : well , if she did , i would n't have to hold her captive . craig : i know that you tried to change her mind about this . paul : yeah . and she would n't budge . she claims i do n't know the real you , whoever he is . craig : maybe i was wrong , i guess she 's not here . paul : so glad we settled that . you can leave now . craig : what the rush ? you 're not going anywhere . dressed like that . paul : craig , this is my room . craig : yeah , what about that ? just a few weeks ago , you were camping out in the woods like paul bunyan . now , look at you . man of leisure , haunting the halls at the lakeview . why the sudden change , ryan ? i have copd with chronic bronchitis which makes paul : you really got ta go . craig : it does n't fit . you 're up to something . paul : well , i was going to take a shower . you want to stick around for that ? craig : how long are you going to stick around keeping tabs on me ? paul : i do n't care what you do , craig . craig : really ? even when it comes to meg ? paul : is that -- is that why you 're here , huh ? are you going to rub my face in it ? you just want me to know that you 've won ? craig : no , actually , i 'm here because you wo n't let go . and i hate seeing you , looking all -- what the heck is that word i 'm looking for ? trapped ? luke : the only thing i 've ever written is a couple short stories , some essays and a few poems . maddie : well , that you 've let people see . luke : i never had anything published . maddie : luke , you 're the best writer in the whole school . luke : why ? because some teacher decided i did n't suck as much as everybody else ? maddie : come on , please ? you understand people . how they fall in love and fall out of love and get crazy -- you 've got all that stuff . noah : great . you handle the emotional side and me and maddie will put together some kind of a plot . luke : that just sounds so random . noah : we 'll make it about a young woman who 's -- torn between her heart and her mind . we just have to figure out why . maddie : because -- because she is in love with an alien ? luke : illegal or extra - terrestrial ? noah : i do n't think we want to go either way . maddie : okay , oh -- how about , so -- the woman is really shy and trusting and she hooks up with this rich guy who she thinks is absolutely perfect -- but , he has this really cold , mysterious side . noah : and when she goes to move out to his place , which is out in the middle of nowhere , she finds out he has a scary , dark side . maddie : oh , good -- oh , and these things of his glamorous , first wife keep popping up , who 's dead . noah : and the creepy housekeeper keeps hauling out the dead wife 's clothes , trying to convince her that he 's still in love with her memory . maddie / noah : rebecca ! maddie : duh . luke : rebecca who ? maddie : it 's a hitchcock film . luke : you guys and your ancient movies . maddie : yeah , i know , we 're beyond weird . gwen : hey . maddie : hey . gwen : hey , i hope i 'm not interrupting a meeting but -- maddie : no . gwen : i have some really exciting news that i wanted to tell you guys and i could n't wait . luke : well , what 's going on ? gwen : i 'm going to finish the demo . maddie : for real ? gwen : yeah . we already have a producer and a studio lined up and everything . maddie : oh , congratulations . that 's so awesome ! gwen : thank you . noah : you 're a singer ? maddie : she is the best . and you should hear her sometime . oh , noah , this is gwen . noah 's interning with us . gwen : oh . noah : hi . gwen : hey , nice to meet you . noah : good to meet you too . gwen : oh , sorry . anyways , maddie , luke , noah , this is a good friend of mine , cleo babbitt . it 's kind of a long story , but the short version is that cleo got the ball rolling with this whole thing . maddie : oh , well , in that case , i have to thank you . because anyone who can get gwen singing again is a real friend . way to go , cleo . cleo : well , you really do n't have to thank me . i totally , 100 % believe in gwen 's talent . maddie : well , we all do , but you actually were able to do something about it . we owe you . paul : i do n't know what you 're talking about . i 'm not trapped . in fact , i 've never had as many options as i have right now . craig : so , you just want me to believe you 're looking forward to a future without meg , huh ? paul : i 'm not going to discuss meg with you . you need to leave or i 'm going to make this a police matter . craig : whoa , okay , tough guy . here 's comes the tough talk -- paul : you 're trespassing and i think a formal complaint would really throw a wrench in your wedding plans -- craig : you know , paul . you really are turning into a bitter man . i think you were better off being a hermit . paul : what can i say ? i had to get out of the woods . it 's a dangerous place . craig : it 's not half as dangerous as what will come your way if you try to stop meg from being my wife . paul : meg , look at me . meg ? craig 's gone . you can come inside now . meg -- come on , babe . over here . okay , that 's it . stay there . i 'm coming to you . meg : no , no , no , no , just keep talking to me , okay ? i can do this . i can do this , okay ? okay . okay , just in case i fall -- paul : you 're not going to fall . meg : just in case i fall -- i love you . paul : i ca n't hear you . if you want to talk to me , you 've got ta come closer . come on . just move slow . take it easy . meg : yeah , i pretty much got that part , paul . thank you . can you just tell me something that would be more helpful ? paul : yeah , take my hand . there you go . meg : paul -- paul : that a girl -- yeah . it 's okay . it 's okay . i love you , too . i love you . craig : barbara , whoa , whoa -- are you avoiding me ? barbara : no more than usual , craig . craig : i thought that meg was with you . barbara : did you ? craig : well , you came barging in , dragged her off by her hair -- where the hell is she ? barbara : tell me craig , do you always intend to treat your fiancee like some pet poodle who 's pulled off her leash ? that 's what i can get you for you for a wedding gift . a rhinestone leash with a training collar . oh , no , no , that 's not a very good idea . because you know what , people have to return all the gifts after your wedding fails . craig : i see your wit only improves with age , does n't it ? barbara : do you think ? how close did i hit to home ? craig : you know barbara , i thought you were gearing up for a whole long lecture to meg about how marriage to me would be a living hell . barbara : oh , i tried to do that . but you must have her hypnotized or blackmailed or something , cause she would n't listen to a word i said . craig : and you did n't happen to put in a good word for your son , did you ? rekindle a failed romance ? barbara : my son can speak for himself . and meg no longer cares . craig : meg is now with someone who will look after her best interests . meg : do you know that she 's planning on reforming you , craig ? craig : really ? that actually sounds like fun . see , i think marriage should bring out the best in both parties . barbara : and you know all about that , do n't you ? though , in our marriage , you brought out the worst in me . craig : okay , you know what , barbara ? let 's not go down the memory lane . it 's really such a crooked road . barbara : i never should have left hal . the minute we were married , you went after what you really wanted . my money . and you sold my company right out from underneath me . craig : and you 're still not over that , huh ? barbara : and what are you not over , craig ? again , not over rosanna ? how about johnny , my grandson ? are you not over him ? craig : all right , you know what , barbara ? for somebody who 's been trying to avoid me , you are suddenly very , very , chatty . very chatty . why is that ? and where the hell is meg ? maddie : so , tell us how you managed to set gwen up with a producer . cleo : oh , um , i actually was n't responsible for that . it was will 's mom . gwen is just giving me too much credit as usual . luke : so how did you meet gwen ? cleo : i heard her sing . gwen : cleo 's from out of town . she 's staying with us until she can afford her own place . cleo : will and gwen have been really great with me . luke : well , it 's very nice to meet you , cleo . but i have to go do a drop - off for kim . so , i guess i will catch up with you guys tomorrow ? noah : okay , we 'll talk more about the project then . you know , smooth out the pitch for kim . luke : whatever . maddie : so , tell me about this demo . gwen : well , barbara came up with this idea that i could donate the proceeds to the families of fallen officers , in honor of hal 's memory . maddie : oh , that 's really nice . and well , you could n't say no . gwen : yeah , it just -- it puts a really positive spin on things . noah : i 'm just thinking -- i used to intern at the theatre in branson , missouri . they just e - mailed me about a benefit they 're doing this summer along the same lines . if you finish that demo in time , i think you could cross - promote it there . maddie : really ? you can make that happen ? noah : i could make the connection . i mean , they 're looking for performers . maddie : well , awesome . and then if you get more exposure there , you can bring in more money for those families . gwen : what do you think , cleo ? cleo : you 're really asking me ? wow . gwen : well , you 're a really big part of this . cleo : honestly , i think destiny is calling you , gwen . and i think you have to say yes . you 're going to be a big star . that 's your journey . so get ready for your whole life to change . luke : hey jade , what 's happening ? jade : hey . luke : are we still going to go to crash ? i thought you were going to pick me up at the studio . jade : oh , about that . i went to the studio . luke : but you left ? jade : well , you know , everybody was just kissing gwen 's feet and i just was n't up for the drama . luke : okay , i get that . but next time , do n't blow me off . call or something . jade : okay , i 'll text you . listen , there was a girl there . she had dark hair , a little bit goofy looking -- luke : oh , yeah . that 's gwen 's new friend , chloe -- cleo , cleo babbitt . jade : she 's a little rough around the edges . luke : maybe . she ca n't be all that bad if she 's staying with will and gwen . jade : yeah , i wonder how long that can last . luke : i do n't know . jade : well , did she happen to say why she 's in oakdale ? i mean , what brought her here in the first place ? luke : no . but , i mean , why do you care ? paul : you okay ? meg : yeah . paul : well , we can leave craig to spin his wheels for a little while . pick up where we left off . meg : you 're not making this easy . paul : he interrupted us . meg : yeah , well he 's going to make things a lot worse if i leave him alone much longer . paul : you 're spending a lot of time with him . meg : it 's just for a little while . look , we need to be adults and not take any more chances . there 's no guarantee he wo n't be back . paul : i do n't want you to leave . meg : i have to . but i promise you , this will be one of the last times i ever leave you . craig : why are you deliberately not answering any of my questions ? barbara : do you really think i 'm going to help you keep tabs on your fiancee ? become an accessory to your sham marriage ? craig : all right , now this is classic . barbara , you always go on the offensive when you 're up to something . now , should i be worried ? should i check my car for explosive devices ? drink bottled water ? barbara : craig , you better check that paranoia . it 's getting out of hand -- craig : no , barbara , you are up to something . and i 'm going to find out exactly what it is . now , before i have to resort to extreme measures , why do n't you do us both a favor and just come clean ? barbara : i think i 'm going to let your fiancee answer all of your questions . meg : you two look serious . craig : i 've been incredibly worried about you . meg : because i went to freshen up ? craig : i called your cell phone . barbara : i think i 'm going to skip this round . if you think this is bad , honey , it 's all downhill from here . craig : why did n't barbara tell me that you were in the ladies room ? meg : i do n't know , maybe she enjoys torturing you ? craig : i thought she was all about torturing you -- meg : oh , she did . do n't worry about that . there was lots of talk about how i was selling my soul . craig : yeah ? any second thoughts ? meg : absolutely not . as a matter of fact , i 've never been clearer , about you and why this marriage is right for us . craig : good . that 's what i want to hear . so sorry , though , that you had to talk to barbara about it . she obviously got to you . meg : no , she didn't . craig : well then why -- why is your skin so hot ? why are you flushed ? thanks for calling dell . what can we build for you ? barbara : you 're telling me that meg was out on the ledge when you and craig were in here trading insults ? that 's crazy , paul ! paul : i know , meg 's okay . that 's all that matters . barbara : well , it 's a good thing that i was able to keep him occupied until she got back . paul : i know . and i 'm so sorry that you even had to speak with craig montgomery . he does believe that you were with meg , right ? barbara : well , apparently he does , yes . but you know what ? that 's not going to stop him . i mean , there 's no way to read that man , that 's why he 's so lethal . how long is she going to stay married to him ? paul : craig wo n't even have time to kiss the bride . as soon as -- as soon as we have the papers , and lucinda has control over worldwide , meg and i are going to disappear . barbara : how ? where ? paul : well , we 're going to go someplace where craig ca n't find us . barbara : there is no witness protection plan for runaway brides , paul . paul : do n't worry , mom . we 're going to be far away from oakdale . barbara : not for good ? please do n't say that . paul : it 's not just to get away from craig . meg and i have made a lot of really -- we made wrong turns in this town . a lot of bad memories . barbara : this is your home , paul -- paul : well , maybe our best shot at happiness is finding a new home someplace else . barbara : i do n't know if i can take this . you know , first i lose your sister . i do n't know where my grandson is , and now this ? paul : you 'll always know where i am . well , i think it would be a comfort to know that i might finally be happy . barbara : and how is your happiness assured if you 're always looking over your shoulder for craig ? paul : we 'll be someplace that craig ca n't hunt us down . i made sure of that . barbara : it 's pretty drastic . paul : well , meg crossed the line with craig . she ca n't go back . it 's the only way to protect her . barbara : no , it isn't . you 're just blinded by your hatred for craig . you realize that -- paul : yeah , well , i do hate craig . i do . not just for what he 's done to you . but what he did to rosanna , what he did to jennifer . and what he might do to meg . and so yeah , if meg walks out on him , and his whole world collapses ? it could n't happen to a nicer guy . meg : okay , i admit it . i got a little hot under the collar . but you know how barbara is ? overstating everything , making wild accusations . so , i suggested we go for a walk by the lake , so we could cool down . craig : i want details . i want to know about barbara 's case against me . meg : well , she blames you for everything from jennifer 's death to paul 's retreat from the world -- craig : oh , there it is . i knew paul 's name would come up sooner or later . meg : she told me i ruined his life . craig : guilt . that 's her stock in trade . meg : well , it 's not going to work . i 'm not going to let barbara ryan make me feel guilty for anything . craig : good for you . a woman fights back . i find that very attractive . meg : well , she didn't . craig : well , let 's forget about her . the important thing is that i have you back , all to myself . by the way , i really hate it when you do n't answer the cell phone . meg : what -- you did n't think i was coming back ? craig : full disclosure ? meg : mm - hmm . craig : i thought you ran off with paul . meg : well , i hope you do n't think that anymore . craig : well , i know that paul still wants you . what man wouldn't . and i do n't take anything for granted , especially you . meg : well , i hope that wo n't change when i 'm your wife . craig : you keep looking at me like that , and it won't . meg : i give as good as i get . craig : well , then , we wo n't have a problem , will we ? meg : i 'm glad you missed me . craig : actually , there was something tonight that i did n't want you to miss . meg : really ? craig : a pastry chef from chicago has come in to give us a sample of his wedding cakes . he 's waiting for us at the house right now . meg : oh , a taste testing . craig : you can have devil 's food , carrot cake , pound cake , whatever you want . meg : i think i will try them all . i have a big appetite . craig : yeah , so do i . but not for cake . i want you , meg . tonight . gwen : oh , thanks . actually , we need one more . my husband 's going to be here in a little bit . waitress # 1 : no problem . can i get you something while you wait ? gwen : i 'll have a diet coke with lemon ? cleo : um , i 'll have the same thing please . the lemon makes the diet almost taste just like regular . i 'm so impressed . gwen : with what ? cleo : with your friends . like , they just graduated from high school and they 're already working at a t.v . station . they must be like real brainiacs . gwen : yeah , well , we 're just trying to pick up tips about the broadcasting business . besides , a lot of that stuff actually can be just as tedious as vacuuming rooms . cleo : oh , i do n't think it 's tedious , i love it . cleaning at the lakeview makes me feel like i 'm making a genuine contribution to the rest of the world . so , can i ask you ? what 's up with that noah guy ? gwen : i do n't know . i just met him . cleo : because besides being like a big hunk , he seems to have like an incredible sense of the rest of the world . gwen : is that a little bit of a crush coming on ? cleo : oh , no . he 'd never be into someone like me . besides , i think that he and maddie were flirting . gwen : that 's -- that 's not possible . cleo : no ? gwen : maddie 's in love with someone else . cleo : oh . well , anyway , she seems really nice , and so does luke . too bad when you become a big star , you 're probably going to have to leave them all behind . jade : i have zero interest in gwen 's new roommate . i -- i just think it 's a little bit kinky the way that she 's latched onto gwen like that . luke : really ? because i did n't get that vibe at all . jade : oh , come on . do n't you think it 's a little weird how gwen and will just picked her up like some stray kitten that they brought home for some warm milk and a place to sleep ? luke : i do n't know , gwen seems to like her . i mean , she 's already pretty involved in the cd . and that would n't have happened if gwen was n't cool with her . jade : i 'm sorry , gwen does not know what she wants . she 's always changing her mind . luke : jade , can we please not bash gwen tonight ? i thought we were just going to go to crash , we were going to listen to some music , and just chill out . jade : yeah , about that , would you mind going without me ? luke : yeah , i mind . jade : come on , do n't be mad at me . i have something i need to finish . luke : okay , whatever , jade , i guess i 'll meet you back at the house . and if you change your mind , you know where to find me . jade : cleo has got to go before she ruins what 's left of my life . noah : everything okay ? i can usually collate without supervision . maddie : sorry . i guess you 've done stuff like this a million times . noah : have n't you ? i mean , you seem to know your way around here . maddie : this is the only place i 've worked . i mean , you 've been all over . noah : not really . maddie : don't . i saw your resume . you 've done acting , and directing , set design , lighting -- noah : yeah , in high school . maddie : yeah , but you worked at that -- those summer theatres in the parks -- noah : my dad 's an army colonel . we moved around a lot . maddie : is that how you ended up in branson ? noah : that 's how . working in a theatre , even if it 's just ushering , gives you a way to meet people . you know , gives you something to talk about . a way to break the ice -- maddie : well , you do n't seem to have that problem . well , at least not here , anyway . noah : that 's because you made it easy for me . maddie : well , i 'm sure my little video greeting helped . noah : that 's not what i meant . you made it easy for me because i feel like i already have someone i can talk to . i mean , what are the chances i 'd meet anyone who loves old movies as much as i do ? gwen : i mean , all i really want to do is finish the demo . i do n't think that my entire life is going to change . cleo : but when your songs get airplay , i mean , people are going to come to you with offers . they 're going to demand to see you in person . gwen : but even if that did happen , my friends are really important to me , and i 'm always going to keep them close . will : hey . gwen : hey . will : i 've sold enough books for one day . gwen : yeah , how many did you buy ? will : none . actually , they made a deal with me that says i can take out as many books as i want , as long as i bring them back looking like new , so make a list . cleo : can i make a list , too ? will : sure . so , how did maddie take the news about the demo ? gwen : just like you said . she was really happy . will : good . i think we need to celebrate then . let 's get out of here . gwen : i can't . i promised cleo a cheeseburger . will : well , i think this calls for champagne . gwen : champagne ? on our budget ? we should probably stick to ginger ale . besides , i do n't want to jinx this . i think we should wait to celebrate until we know that the album can be something that i 'm proud of . will : it will be . cleo : you know what ? will 's right . you 've waited a long time for this , you should just let yourselves be happy . gwen : okay , i 'm completely convinced . where do you want to go ? cleo : oh , no . i 'm not tagging along . you two should just be together . gwen : you 're sure ? cleo : yeah , i 've got to get to work anyway . and i 'm sure that you guys have a lot to talk about . will : we do . so , do n't wait up . gwen : thank you , cleo . for everything . cleo : no problem . have fun . dear diary , another incredible day for yours truly . w 's mom found a producer so the demo is definitely happening , and everyone is loving me . and g brought me to a real tv studio where her friends work and introduced me . w and g just took off for a romantic celebration , but i 'm not jealous . someday , it wo n't be g 's hand he 's holding -- it will be mine . jade : figures . nice , gwen . very nice . barbara : you know , i can understand why you want to go through with this , but all the preparation in the world is not going to make it safe . paul : yeah , we know what we 're up against . barbara : i do n't think you do . would you listen to me ? he 's just waiting for you to make a move . paul : meg thinks that she 's figured out a way around that . barbara : has it occurred to you that maybe craig wants her to think that ? that you two are so incredibly naive that after -- after they 're married , that he 's found some way to keep a hold of her ? paul : we can pull this off , mom . i 'm telling you . barbara : you know what ? i just want you to take a look at me . i always , always carry around the scars from craig montgomery , and you and meg will be no different . paul : you do n't need to tell me how vindictive craig can be . barbara : your life is on the line . nothing less than that . look what he did to rosanna ? how long has she been in a coma ? paul : i know . barbara : does n't that worry you , paul ? paul : of course it does . that 's why i have back - up plans for my back - up plans . but you do n't need to worry . because once we do this to craig , he 'll be powerless . and he 'll never be able to touch meg again . meg : you can be as seductive as you want . but we are not sleeping together until we 're married . craig : i 'm sorry , what ? is this supposed to make you -- i 'm sorry , are you trying to make me want you more ? meg : look , i 'm not playing hard to get . i just want to wait until we 're married . craig : you want to torture me ? meg : well , anticipation does make the heart grow fonder . and i do promise you once we 're legal , i 'm going to take every opportunity to show you just how much you mean to me . craig : i ca n't wait . meg : well , you have to . deal 's a deal . craig : why , if the only thing standing between us is a marriage certificate , why do n't we just move the wedding up ? meg : can we do that ? craig : we can do anything we want . meg : but you 've made so many plans , the church , the reception -- craig : oh , you just leave all those details to me . you just give me the word , meg . 24 hours , you 'll be mrs . craig montgomery . meg : hang on , did i say that i wanted to take your name ?

as the woak interns talk about their new project , noah seems to be flirting with maddie , to the annoyance of luke . cleo continues to write her delusions about will in her journal . barbara shares her good news with will and gwen ; she found a famous music producer that agreed to help gwen finish her demo . after some convincing , gwen is onboard . craig barges into paul 's room ; meg is able to hide before though – out on window ledge . craig and paul trade barbs , as a petrified meg hides . gwen asks cleo to join her , as she goes to tell maddie about the demo , which thrills cleo . finally , paul is able to appease craig that meg is n't with him and he leaves . paul races to the window and helps coax her back inside after nearly falling . barbara and craig go at it next , as he is on a mission to find meg , as barbara covers . meg sneaks out of paul 's room and claims she was freshening up after going rounds with barbara . craig is suspect until she appeases him thoroughly with empty promises . jade watches as gwen and maddie sing cleo 's praises . jade hits up luke for information on what he knows about cleo . jade needs her to leave town before she ruins things for her . barbara is worried for paul and meg 's safety once she hears their plan . craig tells meg that he wants her tonight , as meg is forced to hold him off claiming they need to wait to the wedding . as will and gwen head off to celebrate , cleo writes in her journal about gwen 's journey taking her away and how will and she will finally have a life together . jade lets herself into will and gwen 's house , takes some earrings of gwen 's , and hides them in cleo 's bag . craig decidedly tells meg that he wants to move up the wedding to the very next day ; meg is speechless but is forced to go along with becoming mrs. craig montgomery in the next 24 hours .

[ cell phone rings ] are n't you going to answer it ? will : uh , no . gwen : it looks like somebody you do n't want to talk to . will : well , it 's not important . gwen : come on , will . no more secrets , remember ? [ scene_break ] announcer : coming up on `` as the world turns `` -- gwen : and with will , i never felt so close to losing him as i did last night . maddie : but you did n't . and now that everything is out in the open , you 're not going to . ever . will : what do you want me to do ? jade : could you help me get a job ? at crash ? lily : you lied to me , that 's what 's wrong . and i will never forgive you for it . katie : let 's just make today about us . when was the last time we had a chance to do that ? [ scene_break ] will : uh , it 's just my mother calling . and no , i do n't want to talk to her right now , you know ? 'cause she 's probably just going to turn the worst day of my life into something that was all about her . gwen : i 'm not defending her , but she was really worried about you last night . she 's probably just calling to make sure you 're okay . i could talk to her . will : no , no . let her sweat it out , you know ? 'cause if she finds out that i 'm fine and planning on going to summer school , then she 's probably just going to dangle my trust fund over my head all summer . so , i 'll just let her know that i did it when it 's all over . gwen : okay . will : all right ? i got ta go . so , i 'll see you later . gwen : all right , bye . maddie : can you believe it ? like , 24 hours ago , you guys -- it was , like , the end of the world for you guys , and now , you 're better than ever . gwen : yeah . and all the time that i 've been with will , i never felt so close to losing him as i did last night . maddie : but you did n't . and now that everything 's out in the open , you 're not going to . ever . [ scene_break ] lily : yes , i have lived a privileged life . is that an excuse for you to scam me ? how dare you cry poor to justify your con job . jade : i made a mistake . i 've made lots of mistakes . but i am not a bad person . and i was not trying to worm my way back into your house just now . i 'm trying to show you that i am not the monster you think i am . lily : why should you care ? why do you care what i think of you ? jade : because i care about luke . i know what i did was wrong . but i did it to protect him . at least i can accept him for who he is . you 're his mother , why ca n't you ? lily : you know , i 'm not going to stand here and take parental advice from you . jade : go ahead . go ahead and hate me for not being who you wanted me to be . but luke is your son . you 're supposed to love him no matter what . at least luke thought so . and that 's why he finally worked up the courage to tell you that he was gay . he thought you would understand . but you let him down . just like i let you down . you would think that would make us even . lily : metamorphosing youth ? what does that mean ? excuse me , could i use your computer , one of the computers to get on the internet ? ms. stacell : certainly . there 's a card to show you how to log on . lily : okay , thank you . [ scene_break ] luke : my mom did n't say anything about leaving today , and all i said was that i would hear you out . ross : all right , but you admit , it 's a pretty impressive program . luke : yeah , but i -- ross : this is a first - come , first - served opportunity . a slot opened up and i 'm offering it to you , luke , but you 've got to start the program with the others in your group . you ca n't join it in progress . that 's why we have to leave today . look , your mother 's on board . what 's there to worry about ? luke : okay , well , let me just call my dad , and see what he thinks about it -- ross : no , no . no , no , no , luke , calling your dad would be a really bad idea . [ scene_break ] mike : getting away from it all sounds great . it 's just -- i feel like we 're putting off the inevitable . katie : so , what 's wrong with that ? mike : it does n't solve anything . katie : so what ? that 's what tomorrow 's for . let 's just make today about us . when was the last time we had a chance to do that ? mike : you know , it sounds tempting . i just do n't know . i 'm just afraid that 's everything 's going to come up again , and it will just hang over us like a black cloud . what kind of honeymoon would that be ? katie : we wo n't let it affect us . okay ? this cruise is a chance to remember all of the things that are wonderful about being together . it will make us stronger . then , when we get back , we 'll be able to handle whatever life throws at us . but until then , i think we deserve a little happiness . [ scene_break ] [ knocking at door ] jade : hey . will : hey , what 's up ? jade : relax , gwen 's at crash . i never would have come if you would have answered your phone when i called you . will : uh , is something wrong ? jade : yeah . i lost my job . will : why ? jade : mrs. stacell found out that we used my access code when you bought that biology paper . will : well , that 's not fair . i bought the paper . how could she fire you for that ? jade : she did . will : okay , well , i 'll just tell her that you logged me on , and you did n't know what i was doing . jade : she 's not going to believe you anyway . it 's over , i 'm out . but it 's fine . i did n't really like that job much , anyway . just the paycheck . will : so , what are you going to do now ? jade : well , i was kind of hoping that you could help me out . on account of , it kinda was your fault that i got the axe . will : well , what do you want me to do ? jade : could you help me get a job ? at crash . [ scene_break ] mike : you make it sound so easy . katie : it is easy . the hard part 's taken care of . we 're packed . we 're on board . we have champagne open . all we have left to do is lose ourselves in each other . and from what i remember , we 're pretty good at that . mike : okay . all right , you win . we 'll take this trip together . katie : could you sound a little more enthusiastic ? mike : how 's this ? katie : no , i mean it , mike . [ mike laughs ] i do n't want you just to say that you 're into this . you have to have your heart in it , otherwise what 's the point ? mike : i thought i sounded pretty sincere . all right , come on . you have to give me a chance to process this , okay ? it 's a big surprise . katie : i thought it was a good one . mike : it 's wonderful . it 's a wonderful surprise . katie : you 're still not sure . all right , think about this . i 'm going to go get dressed for dinner . you think about it . we still have time before we set sail . if you 're not into it , then we 'll go home . and i 'll understand , okay ? i promise i will not get angry . mike : but you 'll be disappointed . katie : not if you 're here waiting for me when i come out . okay ? [ scene_break ] luke : i just want to call my dad and see if he thinks it okay . i do n't know what the big deal is . ross : because it will take too much time to explain everything to him and we really do n't have that much time . you can call him when we get up there . luke : it 'll take two seconds . and i 'm sure he already knows about the program . my mom must have told him . ross : well , actually , i do n't think your father 's been filled in yet . luke : what do you mean ? ross : well , as far as i know , this was entirely your mother 's idea . i do n't think she 's discussed it with anyone but me .

[ phone rings ] oh , phone . sorry . oh , it 's a real estate broker . faith : we 're not moving , are we ? lily : oh , no , no . we 're not moving . um -- it 's about rental space for carly , the business that i 'm starting with her . faith : you can answer it . lily : no . i 'll call her back . so what 's the matter ? faith : i was just kind of hoping it might be parker wondering how i am . lily : oh , honey , parker 's in so much trouble right now , i do n't think he can think about anything else . faith : you make it sound like he 's a bad kid . lily : no , he 's just a very angry kid . and he 's made a lot of bad choices lately . so as much as i know you like hanging out with him , i think you should steer clear . and if parker does n't like that , then that 's -- faith : trust me , i 'm the last person parker wants to hear from right now . parker : but i already told you that i did n't leave the gun out . i do n't know how it got there . i put it away like jack said to . [ parker remembering ] i know how dangerous it is . that 's why i -- yes , sir . anyway , i was calling to see if faith was okay . no , they won't . bye . j.j. : do you want to go play soccer outside ? parker : i 'm on lockdown , remember ? i ca n't leave the house . j.j. : i 'm really , really sorry . parker : what are you sorry about ? you 're the good kid , remember ? i 'm the problem . j.j. : no , you 're not . parker : well , it 's what holden thinks , and jack thinks that , too . and there 's nothing that i can say to change their minds . carly : hey . i got your message . what 's going on ? jack : yeah . i need to let you know that i spoke to the director of that camp . carly : the camp for troubled kids ? jack : the one the therapist suggested . yeah , she really thinks that parker can get what he needs to turn his life around , so i -- i reserved him a spot . carly : no . jack , i already told you , i 'm not gon na let you send him away . jack : actually , carly , you do n't get a vote . carly : like hell i don't . i talked to a lawyer , jack , and he says i can fight you on this . jack : yeah , i talked to an attorney , too . according to him , you do n't have a leg to stand on . captioning sponsored by procter & gamble productions , inc . and cbs small , small is tremendous jade : you ca n't stand the idea of gwen and will finding out what a little con artist you are . cleo : you know what ? maybe you held all the cards when i first came to town , but not anymore . you do n't have any power over me . jade : yeah , cleo ? we 'll see about that after i talk to gwen and will . cleo : go ahead . go tell them everything . and then , why do n't you explain to them how you know so much about me ? yeah , somehow , i figured you would n't want to do that . jade : i ca n't believe i did n't see this before . cleo : see what ? jade : how totally phony your little wide - eyed , innocent girl routine is . you 're no little hick . you 're a sneak . cleo : and you need to make sure that you heard me . stay away . alison : are you just gon na stand there and not say anything ? dusty : i 'm gon na make that call to the cops . alison : dusty , you and i had sex . you 're just gon na go about your day like it did n't happen ? dusty : well , it was a crazy night . alison : that sums it up . dusty : we were n't thinking straight . alison : we were n't thinking at all . why do i do this ? i get myself out of one messed - up situation just to jump right into another . dusty : there 's no situation . it wo n't happen again . right ? alison : definitely not . dusty : so there 's nothing to talk about . i 'm gon na make that call . alison : i 'm gon na go shower . faith : i should have told parker that i believed him . lily : if jack did n't believe him , there must have been a reason . you got hurt because parker was careless . faith : even if he did leave the gun out , it 's not like he was hoping i would trip over it . lily : no , but he did n't realize something bad could happen , and that 's the point . faith : but it was my fault . lily : what ? faith : well , i was n't even supposed to be at the farm . i would n't even be there if my feelings were n't hurt earlier . lily : who hurt your feelings , parker ? faith : not on purpose . i kind of hoped for something that turned out not to be true . lily : i 'm not following you . you know you can tell me anything , do n't you ? faith : okay . i kind of liked parker . lily : in a boyfriend / girlfriend kind of way , right ? faith : yeah . but i was kind of hoping that he would like me , too , but i was wrong . lily : why ? why -- how do you know that ? faith : well , he told me that he did n't need a girlfriend or even want one . and that would n't have been so bad if -- lily : if what ? faith : if he had n't left me to go hang out with morgan . lily : aw . i 'm sorry , honey . faith : that 's okay . morgan 's really more his type than i am anyway . lily : what type is that ? faith : thin . parker : see ? j.j. : what is this ? parker : it 's proof that jack 's trying to get rid of me . it 's the application for that juvie - hall camp . look , he 's filled out everything , and especially this part -- `` behavior issues . `` all he has left to do is pack me up and ship me off . j.j. : dad would n't do that . parker : it 's done , j.j . i mean , at least it 's gon na be good for you . j.j. : what do you mean ? parker : you know how you 've been saying that you wish i 'd just disappear ? it 's your wish come true . j.j. : parker , it 's -- [ phone rings ] hello ? oh . uh , hey , morgan . uh , parker , he is n't here right now . so i guess that means you 're gon na have to call him back later . sorry . bye . carly : how could any decent lawyer talk you into thinking i have no rights ? i gave birth to that child . jack : see , you keep throwing the biological thing in my face , and i 've got to do something to protect my own parental rights . carly : well , i think you 've gone too far with parker . and if that 's the only weapon i 've got , then that 's what i 'm going to use . jack : see , that 's the thing , carly . you keep talking about weapons when we should be finding solutions . you know and i know that i 've been just as muca parent to that boy as you have . i 'm only trying to help him . carly : by shipping him off to some camp for bad kids . jack : you do n't think this is killing me ? i love that boy . but he needs help , more that you and i can give him . he 's just not hurting himself anymore . he 's hurting other people now . carly : he did not intend for faith to be hurt . besides , he said that he did not leave that gun out . jack : even if i believe that , it 's not just about the gun , okay ? what about the running away , the constant fighting with parker , the failing grades ? carly , this has been going on a long time . and i 've set limits for him . i 've bargained with him . i 've held him when he 's let me . and nothing -- nothing has gotten his behavior under control . carly : well , maybe you 're just not giving him enough time to turn things around . jack : well , there was a -- there was a time there when i thought he was turning things around . carly : and then i came back , right ? jack : i 'm not gon na sugarcoat things for you , carly . ever since you came back , parker 's attitude went from bad to worse . faith could 've been seriously hurt . next time , we might not get so lucky . carly : well , i do n't think the answer is some dumping ground for delinquents . jack : carly , i 'm not sending him to prison . it 's a summer camp . i 've checked it out thoroughly . he 'll be outside getting a lot of fresh air and exercise and time to reflect on what he 's done . carly : did n't you initially tell me that you were just threatening parker for effect ? jack : that was before , yes . carly : so if faith had n't gotten hurt , then you would n't be doing this ? jack : then i would n't be so adamant about it . but i 'm not gon na start arguing and covering the same old ground again and again with you . i 'm calling the director and telling him that his application is on the way . carly : wait . jack , if you 're sending him away because of what happened to faith , what if parker had nothing to do with it ? i 'm a busy working mom , emily : so anyway , alison 's been living at home with me and mom and working here at al 's , off and on . aaron : just my luck . i manage to show up on her day . emily : oh , well no . actually she 's out of town visiting some friends for a while . but she 'll be back . how long are you going to be in oakdale ? maybe she 'll be back before you have to go . aaron : my plans are up in the air , right now . emily : good . that 's good . then there 's time . aaron : yeah , yeah . emily , can i ask you a question ? emily : sure . aaron : how was alison when she got back here ? emily : she was okay . why ? aaron : i 'm just surprised she came back at all . i mean , she always swore to me she 'd never set foot in this town again . emily : well , you know how it goes . people say things . and then they start missing their family and their friends and -- you know , they remember how good the fries are at al 's . you know what , why do n't i um -- why do n't i let ali fill you in when you see her ? she 's going to be surprised that you 're actually looking for her , i think . aaron : yeah . i hope it 's a good surprise . emily : she told me about the breakup . she said it was kind of rough . aaron : yeah , well -- i mean , we headed out west to take care of my mom . and then she got better , and then we had nothing to do but focus on -- you know , us . i do n't want to get into too many details , but you know , we made a lot of mistakes . a lot of mistakes . a lot of things we regret . i 'm not going to lie , there was a lot of yelling . emily : i 'm sure it 's water under the bridge for ali . aaron : i hope so . but listen , i told my dad i 'd call him when i got back into town , so i 'm going to go ahead and do that . emily : okay , okay . you go ahead . aaron : good to see you . emily : you , too aaron . damnit , dusty , will you call me back . alison : i know , do n't say it . i 've taken like a hundred showers in the last 24 hours . this was the last one , i swear , until tomorrow . dusty : you okay now ? alison : yeah . no nightmares . no blood . just a regular old shower . dusty : good . so , i spoke to the cops . they found lance , along with some other interesting things . alison : like what ? dusty : a car full of kiddie porn and all kinds of drugs . but you probably already knew about that . alison : i knew about the drugs , dusty , but i swear to god , i never knew he was involved in anything that sick . dusty : he 's going to go away for a long time . he 's not going to bother you anymore . alison : i owe you so much , dusty . i mean , if you had n't come in when you did -- dusty : well , the ali - cat did n't do so back herself . alison : yeah , i freaked like a baby . dusty : that 's okay . it 's not often you have to fight off a loser pimp . alison : i keep seeing him coming at me . dusty : try to let it go . alison : i do n't know if i can . dusty : do n't worry about that . it 'll come off . alison : here , let me help . dusty : it 's okay . well , if you insist . cleo : oh , you 're here . cool . how 'd gwen 's meeting go with the new producer about the demo ? will : i actually do n't know . you 're going to have to wait . she 's not back yet . cleo : oh . it 's just the two of us then , huh ? i work the late shift tonight at work . are you hungry ? i could make you something to eat . i could make you some of those cookies that you like so much . will : thanks , cleo , but i think i 'm going to pass . cleo : come on , will , you 've been so nice to me , letting me stay here and everything , you 've got to let me do something for you . will : you want to do something for me ? there is something you can do . cleo : anything . will : tell me why you lied to me . cleo : what are you talking about ? will : you told me you did n't know who jade taylor was . cleo : uh , i don't . i do n't know who she is . um , is she somebody i could have met at the lakeview ? will : or what about at old town ? i saw you two talking and it did n't look like you were strangers . do you want to fill me in ? lily : honey . parker is very young . faith : if you 're going to tell us that we 're too young , please don't . lily : absolutely not . your feelings are valid no matter how old you are and i think grown - ups forget that sometimes . all i 'm saying is parker 's having a lot of trouble at home right now . i think a girlfriend is the last thing he 's thinking about . faith : unless she looks like morgan . lily : i do n't want you comparing yourself to anybody else . because you are beautiful . faith : i do n't feel beautiful . and when i look at morgan -- i have to tell you something . lily : what ? what is it ? faith : after i saw them leave together , i ate all the snacks that i 'd bought for the movies . lily : because you wanted to make yourself feel better ? faith : and i did , at first . but then i felt really , really bad . lily : so what did you do after you ate ? faith : i did n't throw up , if that 's what you 're thinking . lily : good . good for you . faith : not really . because then i did something even more pathetic . lily : what did you do ? faith : i followed parker to the farm . i wanted to spy on them . and that 's when i fell and tripped over the gun . got hurt . lily : oh , honey . i 'm sorry . faith : so do you finally get why we ca n't really blame parker ? 'cause it was all my own fault . jack : do n't do this , carly . carly : do what , jack ? believe in my son ? jack : well , i 'd love to believe him . do i think he meant to do something so reckless ? absolutely not . do i think he meant for faith to get hurt ? no . he was shooting that gun off the other day because he was mad at the world . he was angry . he 's not denying that . carly : i do n't think that he would have made things worse by lying about it . if he left the gun out , he would have said so . jack : taking up for him when he 's wrong is not going to make him less mad at you . carly : that is unfair . jack : no , what 's unfair is you thinking that this is easy for me . do you think that i want to see parker go away ? carly : you know , jack , it sure seems like it . jack : no , you 're wrong . it tears my heart out that he believes that i 'm so fed up with him that i ca n't deal with him anymore . but i 've got to think of the big picture here . his future well being and his happiness means a hell of a lot more to me than what he thinks about me right now . carly : well i do n't think that a bunch of social workers disguised as camp counselors can make my child happier than i can make my child . jack : carly , they 're professionals ! okay ? they can get him to deal with his feelings without you coddling him or me yelling at him . i wish to hell there was another way , carly . i just do n't see any other option right now . j.j. : no , dad , you 're wrong ! you ca n't send parker away because of the gun ! it is n't right ! jack : j.j. , how 'd you get here ? j.j. : i rode my bike . carly : all the way from the farm ? j.j. : i had to . look . jack : okay , where 'd you get this ? j.j. : parker found it and he showed it to me . look , you ca n't send him to this place . it is n't right ! jack : what 's not right about it ? carly : yeah j.j. , what 's not right about it ? you can tell us . j.j. : well , remember when you told me to muck out the stables and i passed it off for two whole days ? jack : yeah . j.j. : well , you 're not mad at me . jack : okay , j.j. that was a mistake . it was one mistake . you have n't been acting out the way parker has . j.j. : but still . jack : no , this camp -- it 's a pretty great place . he 's going to get to go canoeing and fishing and play basketball . j.j. : but he can do that all at home . jack : yeah , there 's other stuff there , too though , buddy . there 's therapy sessions and workshops where he and other kids can talk about how to deal with their feelings better . okay . that 's got to be a major relief to you , right ? i mean , are n't you tired of him picking on you all the time > j.j. : yeah , i hate it when he picks on me , but -- jack : all right , all right . great . so maybe when he gets back , every time i turn my back , he wo n't start something with you . [ phone rings ] snyder . yeah , transfer it to my desk . thanks . i 've got to take this . carly : will you be long ? jack : no . you can wait for me , and we can go over and talk to parker together if you want . carly : well , you are a very loyal brother , j.j . j.j. : no , i 'm not . carly : sure you are . you rode your bike all the way here to -- to fight for parker , right ? how many brothers would do that ? j.j. : well , it just is n't fair . carly : i know you do n't think it 's fair . but i do n't want you taking on parker 's mistake . you are not responsible for what happened to faith . he is . is something bothering you ? you can talk to me , j.j. you can tell me . j.j. : well , it 's just -- i have to go to baseball practice . carly : would you like a ride ? j.j. : no , that 's okay . i 've got my bike . carly : be careful . cleo : i do n't know what you 're talking about . will : i did n't get to hear anything . but i saw you two talking and it seemed like you were n't exchanging recipes . cleo : look , i understand that our conversation probably looked really intense . but honestly , i do n't know jade . she saw gwen and i hanging out and i guess , you know , she figured out that we were friends and -- she did n't like that , so she threatened me . will : she threatened you ? how ? cleo : she told me to stay away from gwen or else . will : cleo , that does n't make any sense . why would she care whether or not you were friends with gwen ? cleo : i do n't know . but i got the feeling that she does n't really want gwen to have any friends . i do n't really want to say what else she said . will : well , come on , cleo . you 've gone this far . cleo : she said that you and gwen were backstabbers . that you were mean people . that you used them and then you threw them away . but do n't worry , i stood up for you guys . i told her how kind both you and gwen have been to me . will : jade 's actually caused a lot of problems for us in the past . i 'm sorry you had to deal with her on your own . cleo : it 's okay . i understand . if she 's as mean as you say , i can see why you would n't want to get involved . will : and i 'm sorry i seemed so suspicious when you came in . cleo : oh , it 's totally my fault . i should have told you right away . i was just really shaken up and i did n't want to upset you or anything . will : next time , why do n't you just be honest right from the start ? okay ? cleo : will ? jade -- jade would never do anything to hurt gwen , would she ? i mean , she seems , she seems really mean . will : no . she 's not going to hurt gwen . and i 'm not going to let her hurt you , either . cleo : where are you going ? will : i think jade needs a talking - to , do n't you ? cleo : but she 's going to say that i was lying , of course . will : yeah well , jade 's the one who lies . but i know not to believe a word she says . i 'm going to go deal with her . alison : there . all better . the secret is ice cold water . dusty : you sure you 're okay ? alison : yeah , i 'm sure . i 'm going to go get dressed . [ cell phone ringing ] dusty : hello ? emily : finally ! where have you been ? dusty : right here . emily : why have n't you returned any of my calls ? dusty : i 've been tied up . emily : with what ? i got your message about alison . you had to know i 'd be on pins and needles waiting to hear from you . dusty : yeah , i 'm sorry about that . she 's fine . emily : that 's it ? she 's fine ? dusty , what 's going on that you could n't pick up your phone ? dusty : we were waiting for clearance -- from the cops . and they just found lance , so now we 're free to leave . emily : the police ? what the hell happened ? dusty : i 'll explain it all to you later . emily : are you sure alison 's all right ? you 're not just saying this to keep me quiet ? dusty : she 's fine . i promise . i 'm going to fill you in when we get home . emily : i hope that means you 're on the next plane back . dusty : we 're going to try . emily : dusty , i ca n't thank you enough . for taking care of my little sister . you really came through for me , and i -- i just ca n't thank you enough . can i talk to ali ? dusty : you want to talk to ali ? emily : yeah . i want to tell her i love her . dusty : she 's in the shower right now . emily : okay . all right , just um -- pass along the message to her , please . and i ca n't wait to see her . hurry home , okay ? dusty : will do . she says she loves you , misses you , ca n't wait to see you . so , we should probably hit the road . are you coming or what ? alison : i ca n't go , dusty . i ca n't go back with you . dusty : what 's going on ? you told me you were okay . alison : i said i was okay with everything that happened with lance . i did n't say i was ready to go back to oakdale . dusty : why not ? alison : i was really angry at emily , dusty . i said things i never should 've said to her . dusty : so what ? you 're sisters . you fight , you make up . everything 's okay . alison : you were n't there . when she told me that she had lied to me about being a hooker , i called her a hypocrite . and now , i 'm supposed to go back and lie to her face about what you and i did ? i ca n't do that to my sister . i know how much she cares about you . she 'd be so hurt . dusty : she does n't have to know . alison : please . what secret do you know that does n't come out sooner or later ? and what will we do if she found out ? dusty : there 's nothing to find out . what happened was between you and me . it 's nobody 's business . alison : i guess . dusty : let 's pretend it never happened . deal ? i 'm going to go downstairs and get a cab . get the rest of your stuff together , okay ? aaron : hey , emily . i just wanted to tell you it was really , really good to see you . emily : aaron , i 'm sorry . i 'm glad you came back . i just uh -- i just heard from alison and she 's on her way back into town . so she should be home soon . aaron : did you tell her i was asking about her ? emily : no . no , i figured i 'd just wait until she came back . aaron : maybe you should n't say anything at all . emily : why ? aaron : i do n't know . you made it sound like ever since she 's been back , she 's got her life on track and i -- i do n't want to derail her . emily : derail her ? i think it 's a little late for you to be worried about that . jade : do you want something ? will : do you ? jade : no . not especially . and i 'm sure you can tell by the way that i 've been avoiding you and your friends . will : well what were you doing with cleo earlier ? jade : are you stalking me ? will : just answer the question , jade . cleo said that you told her that if she did n't stop hanging out with gwen , then she 'd be sorry . jade : oh , um -- well , i do n't know what cleo told you , but i did n't come after her . she came after me . lily : why do n't we make a deal ? faith : what kind of deal ? lily : the next time you 're upset about parker and morgan -- instead of going for all those candy bars , you come and talk to me . and we 'll work it out . okay ? faith : okay . lily : i love you so much . faith : i love you , too , mom . i think i better get to class . lily : and i 'm going to go look at that office space that carly was talking about . you have a great class , and i 'll see you later . okay ? bye . faith : bye . oh , hi j.j. are n't you supposed to be at baseball practice ? j.j. : yeah , but i just wanted to see if you 're okay . your dad told me you were here . faith : i 'm fine . i guess parker 's in a lot of trouble , huh ? j.j. : you wo n't even believe , faith . they 're going to send him away . it 's all my fault . jack : you remember the time we did the zip cord on our trip out west ? you loved it , remember ? this rope course sounds incredible . plus they 've got leadership games , and all the sports you like . parker : great . jack : parker , it 's a chance to get a fresh start on your life . so , do we have an agreement ? 'cause they wo n't accept you unless you agree . parker : whatever . jack : i 'll take that as a yes . i 'm going to call the camp director and let him know we 're a go . carly : so -- i 'm sorry this feels like a punishment to you . parker : what happened to all your talk about being on my side ? carly : oh , i am on your side . parker : you know what , forget it . carly : no , parker , do n't go ! look -- if you say you did n't leave the gun out , then i believe you . parker : so how come you 're quiet while jack tells me how great it 's going to be on exile island ? carly : what can i do to help you when you wo n't help me ? you 've got to give me something ! parker : like what ? carly : something to help prove to jack that you did n't do it . parker : what 's the point ? no one would believe me anyway . carly : well you ca n't just throw your hands up thinking that everyone 's against you , so there 's no point in standing up for yourself . parker : but there is no point ! not when everybody already thinks i 'm a liar . carly : i don't . if you let me , i will help you . parker : and who 's going to believe you ? because everyone already thinks you 're a big liar . and now they 'll figure , like mother like son . i was pretty nervous , apprehensive . i have copd with chronic bronchitis which makes will : you expect me to believe that cleo actually came after you ? jade : yeah , i do expect you to believe that . she 's trying to keep me away from you and gwen , which is ridiculous because i do n't want to be around either one of you . just proves she 's a head case . will : cleo 's harmless . jade : really ? you 're actually trying to convince me that the girl 's not completely weird ? will : yeah , so she has her personality issues . fine . jade : uh - huh . personality issues ? the girl is a nut job . if you and gwen were smart , you would cut her loose . will : if i had been smart , i never would have made friends with you , jade . jade : oh , thanks a lot , will . that 's really nice . will : if you and i have our problems , it 's only because you brought them on yourself . all right ? all the stuff you pulled . jade : i get it . i 'm a terrible person . will : listen to me . cleo 's a nice person and i 'm not going to let you hurt her . so , you need to back off . cleo : i always dreamed will would come to my rescue like he 's doing today ! he 's out right now looking for jade to defend my honor . although , i have to admit , i wish he were n't talking to her . she 's a real b ! and knows way too much . on the other hand , she ca n't afford to say anything about how she knows me because she 'd just be ratting herself out . so maybe it 's okay . actually , when i think about it , it 's more than okay , it 's kind of perfect . but just in case , i got myself a little insurance . i think i have a way to stop jade -- for good . emily : i guess what i 'm saying is that alison has been through some -- experiences that have changed her , that 's all . aaron : what kind of experiences ? emily : you know what . why do n't i just let ali decide what she wants you to know when she gets back , okay ? aaron : fair enough . but is she all right ? emily : she will be . i know it . but i 'm going to be honest with you , the break- up was rough on here . i think she 's a little fragile right now . aaron : so maybe i was right and she 's not going to want to see me . emily : no . no , aaron , i think you are exactly what my sister needs right now . dusty : car 's downstairs . you ready ? alison : yup . faith : i do n't understand . how could any of this be your fault ? parker 's the one who left the gun out . j.j. : but he did n't leave it out . i saw him put it away . faith : okay . then how could it have gotten back outside ? j.j. : because i put it there ! after parker locked it away , i went in , i took it back outside . i 'm the reason you got shot ! jack : i talked to mr . jenkins from the camp . he 's going to fax a list of everything parker 's going to need , plus a bus schedule . carly : please , jack . jack : carly , i 'm not going to argue with you anymore about this . it 's done . besides , i thought when we agreed to come here together it was going to be because you were going to support me on this . carly : i just want you to think it through . just a little more . and i know how tough it is to trust my judgment -- jack : then do n't ask me to . carly : i have to . because he 's our son . he 's the same kid who did n't give up on you when your car went over that bridge and everyone , including me , thought you were dead . when everyone told him that he was believing the impossible , he did n't give up on you . and now i 'm asking you , jack -- please do n't give up on him . please believe him . jack : i 'm not giving up on him . but what i believe , carly , is that he needs serious help . that 's what i believe . carly : if he needs help then we 'll give him help right here . just forget about the lawyers , and the shrinks and the intervention squad . we can do this for parker . just the two of us . like we used to . you and me together . announcer : next week on `` as the world turns . `` jack : we 've got to face the truth . katie : i 'm sorry . emily : what happened in vegas ? i want to know everything . aaron : i want to make everything up to you . starting right now . luke : it happened again . i 'm falling for the wrong guy . cleo : it 's clearer everyday that i 'm destined to be with him . and being in branson will be the start of our lives together . meg : if craig finds out that we tricked him , then we 're finished .
