' jack goes to speak with lily and finds an unseen faith downcast , as she watches lily and damian kissing . jack confronts lily about her behavior as gently as he can , as lily is upset that he is judging her . jack suggests her children stay with him for the time being , but lily is incensed thinking he wants to take away her kids . damian defends lily ; but jack is doing it for the kids . jack thinks she us not handling them well and does n't need to be shoving damian ( another father figure ) into their life so soon after holden 's death . faith wants to go , but lily puts her foot down . luke overhears and offers to move home for his siblings . a furious damian confronts meg , as she admits to him some jealousy but also explains that their actions make her feel as if they are forgetting about holden . damian apologizes but refuses to stop seeing lily , which infuriates meg , as she leans on jack for support promising that what they are doing is n't right . jack 's and then luke 's words seem to finally have an affect on lily , as she vows to make it right . luke tells noah that he needs to move out for a short time to take care of his family , as noah is saddened but supportive . he then decides to head to the film festival with mason after all . eb thinks he should kill both maeve and holden for their trouble , but holden finally convinces him that if he calls lily , he can get ransom for him . the police show up at eb and mauve 's , as eb pretends to have no knowledge of who skaggs is when they try to connect the two men . the police do n't believe him and promise they will be putting him in jail because skaggs killed a police officer . a worried maeve secretly pleads with holden not to leave her behind when he gets eb the ransom fearing for her life . holden promises he will take her with him . eb is spooked and wonders if he should just get rid of holden and head out of town , but holden talks him down again and they head off to call lily . lily explains to damian that her feelings for him have n't changed , but she ca n't be with him right now because she has to out her kids first . damian wishes he could change her mind , but he promises not to go anywhere until she decides the time is right . holden goes to call lily as an officer is calling her . damian answers the phone while lily is out of the room . the officer tells him that the dna evidence is back and the man in the car was not holden , as a stunned damian hangs up soon after . holden gets a busy signal when he tries to call home and is about to try again when eb spots a police officer and tells him to hang up . lily asks damian who was on the phone , as damian looks to be contemplating giving her an honest answer .

[ scene_break ] rosanna : look , i saw you , paul ! paul : you saw me when ? rosanna : last night . when i walked in here and you and meg suddenly pulled apart like the two of you had been doing something wrong . paul : we were doing something wrong . we were arguing in your house about whether or not craig should go to jail . if i looked `` caught , `` it 's only because you startled me . rosanna : do n't do that . do n't -- do n't make me doubt myself . it 's been hard enough these past few weeks , coming back here after two years , and not being sure what 's real or what is n't . i saw something last night that looked like a secret between you and meg that you were keeping and i want to know what it is ! paul : you know everything i 've done and you know how i feel about you . rosanna , i love you . rosanna : well how do you feel about meg ? paul : she 's married to your ex - husband . rosanna : that 's not answering my question . it looks like she would rather be married to you ! paul : look , maybe she 's trying to rekindle something that we once had , but that 's -- it 's gone . rosanna : all right . so , you admit that she 's trying to hold on to you . paul : i -- no ! i do n't think that 's it at all . i think , if anything , she 's having trouble coming to grips with the fact that she 's married to a monster . [ scene_break ] meg : what happened , is i watched my husband get arrested last night . what happened , is i found out that a damning witness is about to reveal some very ugly truths . so , i 'm a little rattled , i have good reason ! craig : there is nothing new here , meg . paul and rosanna have been threatening us since they got to town . draining our bank accounts , doing end - runs around us with the corporation -- meg : this is different ! you could go back to prison again ! and you wo n't be able to bluff your way out of it . craig : no one is going to prison . meg : how can you be so glib ? rosanna is going to testify that you switched those babies . craig : she will report a conversation that i will deny ever having . and then , my attorney is going to find 100 ways to discredit her newfound memory . craig : recently comatose . meg : you ca n't control everything , craig ! craig : no , but i can increase the odds . and that is what i pay my attorney to do . quite handsomely , i might add . meg : you know , i 'm going to go see holden . i have to check in with my family . craig : meg , wait . please , please -- do n't let paul and rosanna destroy your faith in me . we have come such a long way . we have laid the foundation for a future and a family that we both want . please do n't judge me so harshly that you lose sight of everything that we 've done together . meg : how can i judge you , craig ? as far as switching the babies goes , i 'm nearly as guilty as you are . but if in the course of the trial i do find out that you did try to kill rosanna to keep her from talking -- there will be no doubt in my mind that you do belong in prison . and if that happens ? do n't expect me to be there when you get out . [ scene_break ] sofie : just give me time . that 's what cole and i need if we 're going to make this work on our own . aaron : when ? sofie : i know you mean well , and i appreciate it , but i think it 's better if we stop being so involved in each other 's lives . aaron : i said i was sorry . sofie : i know , its okay . but i think i 've been dumping my problems on you , and i 'm not going to do that anymore . i 'll see you on my next shift . aaron : sofie -- come on , sofie . alison : what was that about ? aaron : i think i just lost a friend .

[ scene_break ] kim : all i 'm saying is this entire fiasco could have been avoided . bob : you do n't know that . kim : if you had told me that chris actually admitted to having doubts about getting married , i would have insisted that we try to get him to postpone the wedding . bob : what he told me , he told me in confidence . if i made an error in judgment , it was because i thought our grown son would make the right decision . kim : i just keep telling myself that it 's best that he did this before they got married . oh ! what an awful way to do it .

[ scene_break ] carly : gwen , let 's not -- let 's try to be civil . gwen : the last time you were civil to me , i ended up drugged , and when i woke up wondering where my baby was , you acted like it was my fault for losing him , and then you took me to court and took my child away from me , so let 's forget civil . i know you now , carly . i 'm never letting you suck me in again . carly : this does n't sound like you . it sounds like that iris woman . gwen : nah , i knew what you were before iris came along . carly : you know , gwen , i know that iris went to the cops , and she told them this wild story about the vendor drugging you . gwen : it 's true . carly : then why would n't he back her up ? gwen : because you got to him , just like you did everybody else . carly : does iris believe this conspiracy theory ? gwen : she believes in me . carly : iris believes that the entire world has conspired against you . gwen : i 'm not having this argument again . carly : has she asked you for money ? 'cause she will , gwen . iris is a user , and she 's just playing you so she can get her hands on rory 's trust fund . you let a woman like that wander into your life -- gwen : iris did n't just wander into my life . she is n't just some woman .

'cause we both know he 's guilty , find something else . jack : i ca n't meg . not without probable cause . meg : dammit . jack : yeah i agree . you see , meg , if you had just come to me , instead of breaking into grimaldi 's place and making off with the evidence , we could have figure something out . meg : i 'm sorry i botched things up . jack : no . truth is , those documents did n't make much of a case . i tried to use them as leverage , but grimaldi , he 's slick . he stuck to his story . he swears that he made copies , he sent them off someplace , and he got the results over the phone -- meg : yeah but he did n't say where he sent them , because he did n't . and that proves that he lied to the police . so , come on , jack , do your job , arrest him . jack : and charge him with what ? being a bad boyfriend to my cousin ? meg : that 's not fair . jack : i do n't like the guy either , meg . but there 's a big difference between thinking someone is hiding something and actually proving it . we hit a dead end . and out of respect for lily , i 'm dropping the case .

[ scene_break ] alison : how can you be so sure dusty 's gone ? margo : well , i would n't normally reveal this , but since the press is probably going to break the story any minute now , i guess i can tell you that we have confiscated donovan 's computer and he was doing research on other countries . alison : so , maybe he was thinking that once the police realized they had the wrong guy , that maybe he 'd go on a vacation or something . margo : no , i do n't think so , because all of the searches were places that do n't have an extradition treaty with the u.s . alison : that does n't mean anything . colonel mayer : you may not realize this , young lady , but both myself and my son overheard that man threatening the victim just before she died , and he was furious with her . alison : yeah ? well , so was i . she did a pretty awful thing to us , but that does n't mean he killed her . colonel mayer : i 'm sorry . obviously , you and this -- this man were friends . alison : excuse me . i 'm sorry . [ scene_break ] henry : you 're worried about noah because of his dad ? what 's he done ? maddie : you remember how weird you thought it was that he was thrilled that noah and i were going to be together ? henry : yeah , for such a straight arrow , he certainly was invested in you two setting up housekeeping . maddie : he bought us a bed , henry . he was so happy that we were going to live together . he even liked you ! henry : is that so hard to believe ? maddie : no , of course not , but he did n't even think twice about the fact that our sister 's in prison for multiple homicides . henry : well , i think he suspected that noah was gay , and he thought maybe you were the cure . maddie : i know that now . henry : so what 's the problem ? maddie : the problem is , i think he 's doing the same thing to luke that he did with me . henry : what does that mean ? maddie : well , okay . he made a complete turnaround . it 's like he accepts the fact that noah and luke are now together , without a problem . henry : that is weird . maddie : i know . it 's one thing if he 's having a really hard time trying to get his head around it . that would make sense to me . but to be so scared that noah was gay , and then to find out that noah actually is gay . and it 's like , boom , he 's totally fine with it . it 's just not -- henry : it 's not believable . maddie : no . not at all . [ scene_break ] alison : oh , god , i 'm so sorry . aaron : what happened ? why 'd you run ? alison : i do n't know . maybe it 's the hormones they 're giving me , but i do n't feel well and i 'm taking everything so personally . aaron : do n't be so hard on yourself . it 's not like margo came in asking about a complete stranger . alison : just because i do n't think dusty 's a murderer , that does n't mean i 'm in love with him . you know that , right ? aaron : of course i do . come here . alison : i just -- i wanted everything to go so well tonight with your dad , and now look . aaron : it 's not too late . let 's go back inside . alison : oh , i ca n't . i ca n't . can we just go take a walk somewhere or something ? [ scene_break ] margo : okay , you let me know if you hear anything . holden : of course . margo : and you should probably tell lily all about this since she did , you know , post bail . sorry she 's gon na lose all that money . pretty hefty bond . holden : yeah , well , i ca n't tell her who to be friends with or how to spend her money . margo : but i bet you 'd like to . sorry for the interruption , everyone . good night . faith : dad , why did alison just freak out ? holden : you know what ? i 'm hungry . let 's eat . noah : you do n't have to ask me twice . luke : me neither . holden : luke , grab the mustard from the fridge ? luke : sure . [ scene_break ] paul : you want the truth ? rosanna : yes , please . paul : the truth is , i hate meg . rosanna : oh , paul . paul : i do . i hate her . i hate meg for what she 's done to me . i hate that she dumped me for craig . i hate that she 's stood by a man who tried to kill you . a guy who , given half a chance , would kill me without even batting an eye . rosanna : okay . and , but , so ? paul : you 're right . that 's -- that 's not the whole story . i do still have feelings for meg . rosanna : oh . well , i asked for it . paul : i 'm not trying to hurt you . rosanna : no , no , no . it 's okay . i should have realized i ca n't make you love me . paul : no . rosanna : you know , i ca n't make you have feelings for me just because -- paul : stop , you do n't understand what it is that i 'm trying to say . yes , i have feelings for meg , but they 're -- they 're from another time . i 'm at a very different place in my life right now . and there is n't any room in my life for meg . i love you . rosanna , you are the only woman that i want . [ scene_break ] alison : your dad does n't want me anywhere near you , i could tell . aaron : stop saying that . alison : and lily probably feels the same way . aaron : lily was n't even there . alison : yeah , but when she gets back , your dad 's gon na tell her what happened , and then she 's gon na hate me even more than she did before she left . and they have every reason to . aaron : they do n't have a single reason to . you have n't done anything to them . okay , correction . the stuff that affected them -- it happened a real long time ago . alison : and the video online ? aaron : that 's none of their business . besides , you 're my friend , not theirs . alison : just face it , aaron . my life 's been a huge train wreck , and the people who love you most , especially your parents , are probably scared to death that i 'm gon na mess up your life , too . i do n't want to scare the people who care about you most . i want them to be happy that you 're with me . aaron : why do you care what they think ? i thought i was the only one that mattered . alison : you are . aaron : then stop worrying . sofie . i heard you got let go . what happened ? where are you going ? where are you going ? [ scene_break ] henry : have you talked to luke or noah about this ? maddie : i ca n't . henry : why not ? they 're your friends . maddie : well , of course they are , but noah dumped me and luke stole my boyfriend . they would think that i 'm pouring cold water on their happy time . henry : yeah , you 're afraid that they wo n't be interested in your take on noah 's dad 's behavior . maddie : it 's just so weird how he completely changed . henry : look , luke is a smart kid . he will see right through this . people ca n't hide their true feelings for very long . maddie : i hope he sees through him sooner rather than later . [ scene_break ] colonel mayer : luke . [ luke gasps ] luke : oh , colonel mayer , can i help you with something ? colonel mayer : no , i just had a favor i wanted to ask you and it would mean the world to me if you said yes . faith : i do n't understand . why was alison so upset when we were all talking about dusty ? did they used to go out or something ? holden : they 're just friends , honey . faith : like he is with mom ? holden : no , not exactly . faith : is n't mom going to be upset when she finds out that dusty left . holden : yeah , i think she probably will be . do you think i should call her , let her know before she hears it on the news ? faith : i think that she 'll take it a lot better if she hears it from you . [ scene_break ] rosanna : you want me ? paul : absolutely . rosanna : oh , i 'm lost . paul : look , i think that i was afraid of my old feelings for meg , so i just pretended that they were n't there . but i can see that they 're just a holdover from another time . you know , a time , in fairness , that i did n't think i was ever gon na see you again . but now that you are back , i do n't want meg , i want you . rosanna : i would love to believe that , i want to believe that , but it seems like every time meg walks into the room , you 're drawn to her . i mean , you may not want it to be that way , but it 's true . there 's something there . paul : i think that 's just -- you know , that 's just a reflex . it 's like a habit . it 's an old habit and i can see now it was never good for me to begin with . you 're really good for me . and i need you . rosanna : i want to believe that . paul : i 'm not perfect , you know ? i know that . i get jealous , and i hold onto everything for too long . but i 'm a good guy . there 's a good part of me . you know , the part of me that went and got you and brought you here when you could n't find your own way back home . the part of me that took you by your hand and brought us back , both of us . and that part of me , that good part of me -- that part of me just wants you , rosanna . only you . rosanna : what about what i 've done ? the lying on the stand and letting craig go -- can you forgive me ? paul : i have no right to judge you . i have no right to ask you to love me again , but that is what i 'm doing . rosanna : well , you do realize that a minute ago you were walking out the door , right ? paul : yeah . well , i guess i 'm a little crazy . [ rosanna chuckles ] rosanna : listen , i just -- i need to believe that you can really pull this off . that you can forgive me -- you can forgive me for lying and forget that i let craig off and not hold it against me . paul : i just want to let it all go . all of it . i just want to put it all behind us and forget it ever happened . you know , there 's one other thing that i want , too . rosanna : what 's that ? paul : marry me . [ scene_break ] sofie : cole knocks all these things off the table , and i guess that was the last straw . i 've brought too many personal problems into work . i tried to explain , but the manager still fired me . alison : what a creep . sofie : yeah , when i got home , cole had moved out . he took everything . i mean , just when i thought things could n't get any worse . aaron : so if cole moved out , why are you dragging all the stuff around ? sofie : the landlord would n't let me stay in the apartment . i guess cole had n't been giving him the money i 'd been giving him for rent . aaron : and you do n't know where cole is right now ? sofie : no . if i did , i 'd find him . alison : and do what ? sofie : try to work it out . but i have no money to try and track him down . aaron : what are you going to do ? sofie : it 's pretty warm out . i could crash here tonight until i figure things out . aaron : no , no , no . you 're pregnant , you ca n't sleep on the streets . alison : there 's a shelter over on court street . sofie : oh , you think they might have a bed for me ? alison : i mean , you can try . it 's probably pretty basic , but for one night -- aaron : no , no , no , no way ! you 're staying at the farm . sofie : what farm ? aaron : my grandmother 's farm . she 's not there right now , but i 'll give her a call . she 'd be happy to have you . sofie : she does n't even know me . aaron : yes , but i do . and i can vouch for you . sofie : aaron , i could n't . aaron : listen , listen . i 'll tell you what , since you 're so uncomfortable about it , i 'll stay out there with you until you feel okay . sofie : i could n't let you do that . aaron : there 's no arguments , okay ? i 'm gon na get you set up at the farm , and that 's all there is to it . okay ?

[ scene_break ] alison : aaron and i had a fight . but we can fix it . and we will . because aaron does n't give up . he has patience . and he understands me . alison : chris , please , please , do n't -- chris : if you force yourself to stay married to him , you 'll never be happy . not like you could be happy with me . alison : would you just stop it ? this is n't going to do anybody any good . chris : alison , i have something to tell you . i got a job offer today from the global health association . they want me to go back to africa . alison : africa . are you going to go ? chris : they 're desperate for doctors and nurses . you could come with me . i 'll help you finish your nursing degree . we can help people . we can make a difference . alison : no , no , i -- i ca n't leave aaron . chris : yes , you can . just walk away .

[ scene_break ] alison : i ca n't . it would n't work . we both know it would n't work . chris : why not ? alison : because too much has happened . we would just end up screwing it up like we always do . you have to let it go . you have to let me go . we just -- we ca n't . aaron : hey , hey , hey . when are you going to get it through your thick skull that alison just wants you to leave her alone ? chris : you do n't have a clue what alison wants . [ scene_break ] lily : i thought i made myself clear to you . you do not tell me what to do . holden : lucinda , i 'll handle this . lucinda : okay , whatever you will . but she 's in shock . just do n't let lily do something that she 'll regret . brian : why do n't we get out of here ? lucinda : yeah , why do n't we ? lily : how could this be happening ? how could dusty be alive ? holden : i 'm sure margo will get all the answers , and fill us in . but right now , what we need to do is keep this party rolling . can you help me do that ? lily : yeah . holden : good . [ scene_break ] aaron : how the hell would you know what alison wants ? chris : she talks to me . i understand her . aaron : oh , yeah , right . you know , you 're a lot dumber than you look ! chris : really ? really ? am i so dumb to think that a woman who slept with another guy the day before her wedding maybe married the wrong man ? aaron : what are you talking about ? chris : forget it . it does n't matter . aaron : no , no , no . it does matter , okay ? i 'm not going to stand here and let you throw rumors around about my wife ! chris : i am not having this conversation . [ scene_break ] janet : i think it 's crazy that a good cop like you gets shut out at a time like this . jack : not much i can do about it , janet . janet : maybe -- jack : you know what ? how about we do n't talk about it . in fact -- why do n't we just go ? janet : okay . jack : yeah . [ scene_break ] alison : aaron , i have been looking all over for you . where did you go ? please , do n't be mad at me . we need to work things out and talk . aaron : how do we do that ? i 'd really like to know how you think you can do that . alison : because i 'm can stop obsessing about what we ca n't have , and concentrate on what we can have . you were right . we should just enjoy being together and stop worrying about the future . aaron : you can stop worrying about the future , okay ? i 'm just getting started . alison : what do you mean ? aaron : i have a question for you . is it true that you slept with chris hughes the night before our wedding ? alison : what ? aaron : is that why you were a no - show at our wedding rehearsal ? alison : why would you even ask me that ? aaron : so , you 're not denying it ? alison : i just -- i ca n't believe what i 'm hearing , that 's all . where is this coming from ? aaron : you know , i saw you with you ex at the lakeview . and when you left , i had a conversation with chris . alison : what did he say ? aaron : he said that you two had sex during our wedding rehearsal . now either chris hughes is lying , and i 'm going to have to beat his face in for this , or you 've been lying ever since we said i do . so , which is it ? alison : chris was n't lying , aaron . we slept together before the wedding . oh god , aaron . i 'm so sorry . aaron : it 's a little late for that , do n't you think ? alison : aaron ! aaron , please ! [ scene_break ] margo : i ca n't even begin to tell you how many laws you 've broken . obstructing several police investigations , perpetrating a fraud , by staging your own death -- i mean you 're looking at multiple felonies . dusty : yeah , i broke the law , but i had no choice . margo : what do you mean , you had no choice ? you had a choice . this was premeditated . this was planned . this was perfectly executed . how did you do it ? i mean , dusty , i saw you after you died . i saw the corpse . there was an autopsy . dusty : no , no , there was an autopsy report . margo : all right , who was it ? who helped you ? somebody helped you . i mean , aside from all the people who were suspected of or even accused of killing you . evan walsh confessed to your murder . how did you pull that off ? dusty : evan walsh . he did try to kill me , but i was a step ahead of him . i replaced the lethal injection he was going to give me with a new designer drug . margo : what new designer drug ? dusty : well , it simulates death -- stops your heart , your muscles go into rigor mortis . i was in a deep coma . and then i was given an antidote . margo : who gave you the antidote , dusty ? who ? dusty : i 'm sorry . i ca n't . i ca n't implicate other people . margo : fine . i 'm going to just let you sit here and think about this . i 'm going to compile a list of all of your crimes , and i think when you look at the hard time you 're going to do , well , you 're going to wish you were dead again . holden : at least the margo ca n't arrest you for keeping dusty 's secret . meg : i never dreamed he would just show up . holden : yeah , well , it 's typical of dusty say one thing , then do the exact opposite . lily : you knew ? holden : lily -- lily : dusty was alive , and you did n't tell me ? [ scene_break ] margo : i want you to call memorial , get a copy of the autopsy report of dusty donovan . and a list of all personnel who were working on his case . dusty : you look good . emily : you bastard ! i 'm the one who found your body . i thought it was my fault . i was a suspect in your murder . and so were lily and holden . you make us all think you were dead , and then you just waltz into the party tonight . sorry , just kidding ! dusty : i had to do it . i had to do it ! i could n't let craig know i was out there looking for my son . you understand ? emily : was it worth it ? did you find him ? did you find your son ? dusty : no . emily : no , so you put us all through hell for nothing ? dusty : i 'm sorry . emily : you 're sorry ? you 're sorry ? you know what ? sorry does n't cut it ! i walked in the room , you were n't breathing . i tried to revive you . i thought you were gone . oh , god . i thought i was never going to see you again .

[ scene_break ] lily : you do n't trust me . holden : it seems to be mutual . there are a lot of things that you do n't trust me to handle . lily : that 's because every time -- holden : what ? lily : i do n't know . i do n't know . i 'm just tired of defending myself . and maybe you 're right . maybe i have done things that are indefensible . holden : lily , you have stopped telling me what 's really on your mind . lily : okay . my mind ? my son is in there , and he may be in love with a guy whose presence here might help luke in his recovery . holden : and you just know best . lily : i think you blame noah for what has happened , and you ca n't accept the fact that luke might need him . holden : did it ever occur to you that if and when noah shows up , it should be luke 's idea and not yours ? lily : no . holden : well , if you had talked to me , i would have told you that . but you do n't talk . you just act . lily : oh , oh , i see . i know what you think now . you think luke ca n't walk because of me . so maybe we found something we both agree on . you do n't think i spent all last night thinking about that man , meeting him , knowing how much he hated luke , knowing he could snap at any minute ? i thought i could do something . i thought i could get him to accept . i was stupid and arrogant . we both agree on that . holden : lily . lily : now our son wo n't be able to walk , possibly , and i 'll be fine . but luke , he may never -- never walk . holden : lily ? nurse : dr. hughes sent over some exercises to go over with luke . lily : yes . yes , yes , yes , he said that we should start that right away . nurse : i thought i 'd show them to him right now . lily : okay , i 'll come with you so i can help you .

[ scene_break ] gwen : hey , there you are . alison : yeah . so where should we start ? what a jerk i am or how sweet sofie is ? or a combination of both ? gwen : you 're not a jerk , but i am worried about you . are you okay ? alison : look , you can just say it . gwen : say what ? alison : gwen , you 're being really nice , but you just saw me freak out for no reason . so if you do n't want me to be the donor anymore , i understand . [ scene_break ] aaron : sofie , what happened ? what 's wrong ? sofie : no , no , do n't ! just -- just leave me alone , okay ? aaron : you know what ? fine . [ scene_break ] gwen : okay , could you maybe slow down to just 90 miles an hour ? of course will and i still want you to be the donor . alison : how can you say that ? you just saw me act like a complete lunatic . you have every right to help whoever you want to help , and it 's none of my business . gwen : actually , it is your business . i was helping sofie for you . alison : what ? gwen : if you would have let me talk for five seconds , i would have explained . my thought being that if sofie had a job , aaron would n't worry about her so much , and then she would n't get in the way of you two . alison : that 's really nice , gwen . it 's too bad that aaron and i -- are totally over . [ scene_break ] sofie : i 'm sorry , i did n't mean -- it 's just , i do n't think you should always be taking care of me . aaron : alison told you that , did n't she ? sofie : no . aaron : i just talked to her . i know she did . sofie : okay , maybe she said that , but it 's what i think , too . aaron : since when ? sofie : did you and alison have another fight about me ? aaron : no , and we never will again . it is over . [ scene_break ] alison : so then , yesterday , i left him there , and then i realized how stupid that was , so then i went back , but sofie was there and he had his arms around her . gwen : and that made you mad . i get it . alison : yeah , but what made me even more mad is that she 's just so much nicer than i am . gwen : okay , all right , now at this point , you 're actually getting on my nerves . alison : gwen , do you think i flipped out on sofie this morning just because you were helping her ? gwen : then why did you ? alison : because i 'm scared that aaron really will be happier with someone like her . [ scene_break ] sofie : whatever happens , you ca n't let me come between you and ali . aaron : we do n't need your help , sofie . we can self - destruct all on our own . sofie : but you 're so upset about it , you obviously want to work it out . aaron : you know what i want ? someone who is n't so wrapped up in themselves that -- sofie : what ? aaron , what is it ? aaron : i talked to alison . i talked to her about you . i talked to her about her past . but what we did n't talk about -- my brother -- sofie : your brother what ? aaron : nothing . let 's just say the story of alison and aaron is not my first priority this morning , okay ? [ scene_break ] alison : i make aaron miserable , gwen . i do n't even try , i just do . and aaron , being aaron , is whatever 's wrong . but what 's wrong is me , and i do not fix that easily . gwen : i know . i know you 're right . you 're a really horrible person . just helping will and me have a baby is terrible . alison : gwen , can you just do me a favor ? gwen : yeah . alison : can we just start this day over , and let 's just pretend i just gave you really good news . gwen : you did . alison : okay , and then we can delete the part where i had a complete meltdown , and we can just skip to the part where you get to tell will the good news . gwen : okay , let 's go . alison : no . no , just you and will . no third wheel . gwen : alison , you 're not . alison : no . let me do this one thing right . just this one thing . [ scene_break ] barbara : you have proven my point . will : i did ? barbara : genetics . you are exactly like your father . you have taken something that 's very , very painful to me and made a joke out of it . will : mom , all i 'm saying is that if having a bad past means you should n't have children , then i would n't be in the running , either . barbara : honey , you are not alison ! you are nothing like alison , and alison is half emily , let 's not forget that . the paragon of mental health . will : okay , that 's it . mom , i know you worry about me , and i know you want what 's best for me , but honestly , after everything gwen 's been through this year , i 'm not gon na hand her another disappointment . do you understand that ? do you ? barbara : would it matter or not if i did ? will : no , that 's right . and another thing . this baby is going to be one fourth you . and i have a feeling your genes are going to kick alison 's genes ' butts . barbara : do n't make fun of me , will . will : this is n't a sad thing . this is a really happy thing . all right ? and you know what , the first time you hold this kid , you 're gon na forget that we even had this conversation .

[ scene_break ] lily : why are you turning this into a problem ? if you could just admit that noah seeing luke is a good thing , we could just put this behind us . holden : i ca n't believe i have to explain this to you . luke is our son . i love him as much as you do . lily : of course you do . i never said you did n't . holden : no , what you 've said basically is that you do n't trust me . so what do you do ? you turn to dusty to do what you want . lily : so , you 're not upset about noah seeing luke as much you are about dusty bringing him there ? what is this really about ? luke : it must have been so awful growing up with your father . the ways he made you suffer . noah : what about you ? i mean , how can you look at me and not see the man who put you here ? luke : i just see you . i was afraid that you would n't want to come here . you know , that seeing me would remind you of your dad . noah : it does , luke , but it also -- luke : look , noah , please just -- just say it . whatever it is . noah : my dad 's not the man who i thought he was . and seeing you reminds me of that , and it really hurts . but seeing you -- seeing you also reminds me how much i care about you . [ scene_break ] lily : you ca n't be jealous . holden : look , i do n't want to play games . if dusty 's got what you need , then why do n't you go to him ? lily : just stop it , you know that 's not what i want . holden : why ca n't you and i be on the same page ? lily : i 've tried . for months . and all you do is criticize me . you take your anger out on me and i -- it 's just not you . i do n't recognize you anymore . holden : yeah , you 're right . you 're right . which is probably why we should n't be together right now . [ scene_break ] katie : so , the realtor said that if we do n't close the deal today , we 're going to lose the house . jack : i 'm sorry i 'm making this so hard on you . what do you want to do ? katie : well , i love the house . i look at it , and i see us there . i see us raising our family there . jack : this is n't forever , you know . katie : i know . you have to do what you have to do . that 's why i was thinking , if we just take the plunge with the house , maybe we 'll feel a little more married . it is perfect for us , is n't it ? jack : yeah , it is . it 's beautiful . i love the house . i do . what the hell ? let 's buy it . katie : yes ! jack : yeah .

[ scene_break ] jack : i love the house as much as you do . i really do . katie : you have no idea how much i was hoping that you were going to say that . jack : there is something i need to tell you , though . katie : what ? you hate yard work ? jack : uh , no . even if we buy the house , i do n't know when i 'll be able to move in . katie : why ? jack : because i 've decided to stay with carly until -- well , until the end . katie : you 're moving in with carly ? jack : well , carly ca n't be alone anymore . she needs 24-hour care at this point . katie : ohh . i do n't know what to say . jack : well , i hope you 'll say that you understand that my kids need me to help them through this really difficult time with their mom . katie , i 'm sorry . i am , and i know that moving back into that house is a really loaded thing . but it 's not forever . katie : okay , so you 're telling that between now and then , i 'm supposed to live in our new house all alone ? jack : you 're not going to be alone . you 're not going to really be alone . even if we buy the house , i 'll be there soon . i will . please , let 's -- let 's have faith in us , okay ? let 's buy the house , no matter what , knowing that we will live there together one day . katie : some day . jack : every day . every single day . for years . i promise you .

[ scene_break ] katie : so , back to me waiting for carly to die . i ca n't do that . that 's awful , jack . i 'm not going to do it . forget it . jack : forget ? forget what ? forget the house thing ? or something else ? katie : i do n't know , jack , i just -- i do n't know . [ scene_break ] brad : the longer you wait to tell jack , the bigger the difference it will make . but then again , you already know that , do n't you ? carly : what are you talking about ? brad : you did n't plan this , carly , but you are using it . you ca n't tell me that you have n't noticed jack gradually abandoning his wife to spend 24/7 with you ? and you 're thinking -- you 're thinking , `` well , the longer i can get jack to think i 'm halfway to heaven , the closer we 're get . `` unless , of course , what could happen ? oh , i know . that even if he finds out the truth , that he 'll be in so deep , that he could n't leave you if he tried . [ scene_break ] lily : i was looking for you . holden : yeah , i promised my mother i 'd fix this . lily : i thought brad fixed that . holden : exactly . lily : all right . holden : since luke was at the hospital with company , i thought this was as good a time as any . lily : can you take a break ? holden : you know , i really should just get this finished . lily : i think our problems are a little more important than the plumbing , do n't you ? holden : yeah . you 're right . see , the thing is , this i can fix . but i have no idea what to do about you and me . [ scene_break ] noah : i -- i did n't know your injuries were permanent . luke : they might be . the doctors wo n't know for sure . look , noah , this is n't your fault . i do n't blame you . noah : no , no , i 'm just trying to -- i 'm just trying to imagine what you 're going through right now . i do n't know what i would do if i could n't use my -- my whole body . luke : well , hopefully , you 'll never have to find out . it sucks having a boyfriend who 's in a wheelchair , huh ? noah : is that what i am ? am i your boyfriend ? luke : i do n't -- i just -- i just totally weirded you out . it 's okay . you can go if you want , but it was really -- really kind of you to come . noah : luke , i 'm not going anywhere until you answer my question . is that what you want ? do you want me to be your boyfriend ? [ scene_break ] lily : since we do n't know what to do about each other , maybe we should n't do anything right now . holden : what do you mean ? lily : we keep going around in circles , and it 's not getting us anywhere . you tell me you want me to talk to you . but then i talk to you , and you just get angry with me . so maybe we should n't talk . maybe we should just be there for each other , for luke . holden , we 've been married a very long time , and we 've been through a lot worse . can we just forget these misunderstandings and just go home ? holden : no . no , i do n't think we can . [ scene_break ] carly : okay , you 're right . jack has been much more attentive . he 's been much more loving since he first thought he was losing me . brad : surprise , surprise . carly : he still cares about me , brad . i knew it . and i care about him . brad : it 's too late , carly . he 's got a brand new marriage , and it 's wrong for you to keep separating him from his wife every chance you get . carly : he cares about katie . i know he does . he 's just torn right now . brad : and that suits you just fine ? carly : jack is worth fighting for . i 've never said otherwise . and if katie is n't willing to fight for him as hard as i am , then she does n't deserve him . [ scene_break ] jack : hey , i do n't want you giving up on us . katie , look at me . since the moment we were married , nothing has been the way it 's supposed to be . but that 's life , okay ? there 's no handbook for dealing with this stuff . just know that i love you , and i want to spend the rest of my life with you . katie : just not while carly 's alive . oh , my god , i ca n't believe i just said that . i 'm sorry . jack : no , no , it 's -- it 's okay . you 're entitled . i do n't blame you . katie : i do n't know how to handle this either , jack . i just feel like no matter what i do , carly holds all the cards . how do i compete with a dying woman ? [ scene_break ] brad : okay , okay , go with me here . let 's play this out . all right , you live . jack finds out that you were lying about you dying . okay , and you did n't tell him . he 's going to ignore this , the absolute biggest lie in your long history of lies , and you live happily ever after ? carly : he does n't need to find out . brad : he might when you do n't die . carly : well , i 'll tell him , eventually , that is was a misdiagnosis . i 'll just fudge the time frame a little bit . brad : how ? carly : there 's no reason he has to know the doctor already told me . he could find out in a week or two . after i 've gotten jack to admit that if he had a second chance with me , he 'd take it , then there would be no turning back . brad : well , that 's quite a plan . unless , of course , i tell him now . carly : you would n't . brad : i might . carly : why would you rat me out ? brad : maybe because you 're lying to my brother , doing the nastiest , most conniving thing that you have ever done ? and that you 're playing with his heart , you 're playing with his mind . you know , i mean , you 're letting him give up his new life , a marriage , just because he thinks you 're about to croak . carly : if jack walked out on his marriage to be with me , that was his choice . does n't it say something ? brad : it says he 's a good man , and you used that to land him where you want . carly : he 's not a victim here . brad : all right . okay , okay , what about katie ? not that i 'd expect you to care . but she 's in this . and you know , her heart is broken because her groom abandoned her on her wedding night to be with you . [ scene_break ] jack : you 're not competing with carly , katie . i swear it . me moving in , it 's mostly for the kids ' sake . katie : it still does n't change the fact that you 're living with her and not your wife . jack : okay , i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry that i put you in such an impossible position . i love you . katie : i love you , too . i do . but it does n't change the fact that it 's so hard for me to know that you 're walking away from me to go live with your ex - wife . jack : katie , katie , the situation is finite . katie : that 's my point . knowing there 's an end makes me start to wish for things that i do n't want to wish for . do n't you get it ? when you married me , you made me a better person . but if i stay in this marriage under these circumstances , i do n't know how much longer i can stay the woman that you fell in love with . [ scene_break ] carly : katie has shown us over and over and over again that she is more than capable of taking care of herself -- brad : okay , okay , okay , okay , okay , carly , you do n't have any sympathy for her , fine . what about your kids ? carly : my kids are fine . brad : yeah , what about your kids , carly ? yeah , they 're fine ? you 're letting their hearts break ! they still think you 're dying , carly ! i mean , is it worth it for you ? is this all worth it ? to put them through that so you can manipulate your love life ? what kind of mother does that ? carly : i have figured out a way to let my kids know that i 'm going to be just fine . brad : how ? how ? how ! ? carly : just do n't tell jack , okay ? i may not be dying , but i did get sick , and that must have happened for a reason . brad : and that 's what you 're telling yourself ? carly : it brought jack back to me , and i did n't want katie to be involved . i certainly -- i certainly do n't want to hurt her , but this is bigger than all of us . it 's -- brad : please , please do not say kismet . carly : hey , fate then . it 's fate . you would n't interfere with fate , would you ?

[ scene_break ] jack : katie , please -- please just wait -- wait . just think about this a little while longer , okay ? buying a house right now , yeah , it 's a pretty big step . but that does n't mean that we 've got to do a 180 and run in the opposite direction . katie : i 'm not filing for divorce tomorrow , if that 's what you 're worried about . i just -- i ca n't wait in the wings anymore . jack : what does that mean ? katie : if i keep thinking of you as my husband , and you 're never actually being my husband , i 'm going to end up hating myself and resenting you , and i do n't want to do that .

[ scene_break ] jack : the way i said that just now might 've given you the impression that it bothers me . mike : no . just a point of information . jack : it does bother me for carly . it 's demeaning , her and someone like that . mike : jack , that 's bull . jack : i know . i know it is . but i just want to smack him and his smug little australian accented face , you know ? mike : who can blame you ? if we can see through the goofball , why ca n't they ? jack : i handled myself well , though . mike : i 'm sure you did . jack : you see , i most walked in on them in the act , but i let it go , i played it cool . and what i did was , i waited -- and let carly know that simon was using a loan shark and that she was an idiot for trusting him in the first place . of course , i did n't have any proof , but i managed to tick carly off pretty good . mike : i do n't know if this is proof , but i did tell lucinda that the building was unstable . without lucinda , where would he get the money ? jack : i do n't want to be right , mike . i do n't want her -- [ jack sighs ] thanks for listening . it could n't have been fun . mike : look , i could be stuck talking to craig montgomery right now . jack : this is definitely better than that . mike : we 're not gon na tell katie about this , right ? about carly and simon . jack : i do n't know . it could go a long way to ensure that he 's out of katie 's life for good . mike : yeah , but i do n't like to think how it would make her feel . [ scene_break ] craig : i 'm trying to help kids who are sick the way johnny was sick . and i think jennifer would approve . so please , do n't make this about trying to upset paul . meg : you might not have wanted to upset paul , but you did . hi . paul : hi . could you give craig and i a minute , please ? craig : what , the little lady ca n't talk with us men folk ? paul : i 'm sure she understands that this is between you and me . meg : paul , look -- fine , i give up . craig : she has a good head on her shoulders . you should listen to her . paul : i will not let you use my sister 's name . craig : i do n't see that being your call . paul : i do . craig : well , obviously . but it 's kind of a moot point since i do n't see how you can stop me . paul : maybe i just need to start thinking like you . you know , outside the box . what did you do to stop rosanna from doing what you did n't want her to do ? meg : will you try to stop him , would you ? i mean , he 's poking his finger in other people 's eyes -- people that already want to kill him . katie : you know what ? this reunion can wait . thanks . meg : his own sister will walk away , paul . why ca n't you ? [ scene_break ] barbara : lucy , thank you so much . but do n't let us keep you any longer . dusty : barbara , johnny 's happy now . barbara : well , i 'm not . this is not settled , and i am not really comfortable discussing it in front of non - family . lucy : i 'll go . dusty : no . we 'll talk later . when johnny 's asleep . barbara : grand to see you again , lucy . lucy : i 'm not making this any easier for you . dusty : well , she 's just been through a lot , that 's all . lucy : i know . dusty , i understand . and i know it hurts to hear what my father 's doing . i 'll stop him -- somehow . why were you guys fighting ? was it because of me ? dusty : no , she 's just upset that i wo n't go to war with your father over his research fund . lucy : you think its okay ? dusty : i think it 's a distraction . lucy : i do n't understand . dusty : i think he wants me losing my cool , up in arms , you know , going crazy while he 's doing charity work . lucy : why would he want that ? dusty : to use at a custody hearing . [ scene_break ] jade : if i hurt your feelings , i 'm sorry . i 'm just not used to anybody knowing how i am and sticking around . luke : i will stick around . jade : just to make sure i do what i said . luke : well , i know you 're gon na do that . jade : you trust me ? luke : well , no . but if you do n't tell will , i will . he 'll know tomorrow . how he finds out is up to you . jade : great . i love options . luke : and after he finds out , i 'll still be your friend . look , jade , i know you had a different ending in mind . jade : i always do . do me a favor ? i -- i ca n't leave until i 'm signed out , and i 'm starving . would you run to the cafeteria ? luke : sure . i have to make copies of this , anyways . jade : you got all the bases covered . luke : i have to . i 'm dealing with you . jade : damn straight , you are . [ jade picks up her cell phone ] [ scene_break ] gwen : thank you ! [ applause ] all right , all right , you were right , you were right . maddie : you were wonderful . gwen : i do n't know -- casey : well , you can judge for yourself , because i made a copy . gwen : oh , that 's terrible . why ? casey : so i can send it to adam . [ cell phone rings ] gwen : okay . casey : that 's probably an agent or `` rolling stone . `` word travels fast . gwen : mm - hmm . i just want to let y ' all know , i 'm not gon na forget the little people . maddie : ah . gwen : hello ? jade : gwen . it 's me , jade . gwen : yeah , what do you want ? jade : i ca n't tell you over the phone . please , could you meet me at the library ? alone . gwen : mm - hmm , yeah , sure . that 'll be fun . jade : it 's really , really important . gwen : look , jade , you ca n't just call -- [ phone hangs up ] hello ? casey : what was that ? gwen : it 's unbelievable . it 's just unbelievable . maddie : gwen , you ca n't possibly be thinking of going . gwen : i think i will . casey : and why would you do that ? gwen : she sounded very upset . casey : and jade would never sound very upset to get what she wants . gwen : look , there is another reason . maddie : what ? gwen : i want her to know that i am not afraid of her , all right ? that she has not won , even if she has . [ scene_break ] luke : this is jade taylor 's medical file . it fell in the bed behind there . nurse : i was looking for that . luke : where 's jade ? nurse : she did n't tell you ? she checked herself out . [ scene_break ] jack : you think katie 's really upset about simon and carly ? mike : not that she 'd be jealous . it 's just that she 'd be upset for carly . jack : has she said that ? is it something that she 's worried about , them getting together ? mike : it 's been a while since we talked about it , but i think so . look , it 's not easy for us to talk about simon -- we try to avoid that topic . jack : no , i get that . mike : i just think that she 'd be worried for carly -- what , being on the rebound , and simon not exactly being -- a guy that you can count on . jack : gee , you think ? mike : i think she 's still rooting for you and carly . jack : yeah , well , i think we 're in lost cause territory there . mike : jack ? people can do some really stupid things when they 're on the rebound . sometimes , the more important thing you 're rebounding from , the more stupid the thing you do . [ jack chuckles ] carly and simon -- jack : mike , katie 's not the only one rooting for us here , is she ? mike : look , i 've never been this happy , and i wish you were the same . jack : yeah , well , thank you . thank you . but you go ahead and be happy , do n't worry about me . mike : still -- jack : what ? mike : i do n't know whether to tell katie about this or not . because it would be really fun to prove to her that simon is just as much a loser as i thought he was . [ both chuckle ] katie : what 's so funny ? and why are you talking about me and simon ? [ scene_break ] carly : how ? how can you make this right ? there is no happy ending here , simon . is that enough money there to fix the building and then finish it ? because now that word is out that there 's a problem with the structure of the building , selling it ai n't gon na be easy . or fast . and so , how long is this loan for ? and what 's the interest ? and what are you gon na do about the fact that jack is on to you , and he knows where the money came from ? simon : all right , all right , you know what , enough ! you 've made your point , okay ? i messed up . those problems you 're talking about are my problems , not yours . carly : you 've made them mine . simon : well , not anymore , because you 're walking away from this project and you are not looking back . [ scene_break ] lucy : look , if my father ever tries to get custody , i 'll testify against him . his own daughter will say her brother is better off with you . dusty : thank you . how about a drink ? lucy : ca n't , i 've got to go back on duty . sorry . dusty : johnny likes having you around . we both do . [ scene_break ] paul : what were you doing with him ? meg : you know , i love when conversations start like that . paul : he was trying to enlist you , was n't he ? meg : is this how it 's gon na be ? craig montgomery comes back into town and our lives go out the window ? paul : you do n't even know what he was trying to do , do you ? meg : i know exactly what he was trying to do . he 's trying to push your buttons . and every time he tries , you jump , just like he wants you to . paul : thanks for the vote of confidence . meg : look , could we just get out of here ? and for god 's sake , please let 's stop talking about craig . [ scene_break ] simon : you walk now , jack and the whole world will see that you had nothing to do with this . carly : and what about you ? simon : who knows ? i 'll probably get what i deserve . god knows it 's been a long time coming . carly : i do n't want that . simon : me , either . but most of all , carly , i do n't want to hurt you . i do n't even want to come close to making you feel bad . 'cause you are one hell of a woman . please , just leave . go . right now , just go home to your kids . [ scene_break ] katie : well ? jack : katie , it was my fault . i was venting about simon . i was . katie : oh , and he was venting about me ? jack : no , no , he was saying how hard it is sometimes being with someone so perfect . katie : you guys stick together . that 's a good one . jack : yeah . well , okay , i 've got to go . have a nice fight . thanks for listening . katie : how 's he doing ? mike : he 's been better . katie : sometimes i 'd just like to take him and carly and knock their heads together . mike : how was craig ? katie : i do n't want to talk about it . so what were you saying about me and simon ? mike : i do n't want to talk about it . katie : you know , they say that honest communication is the key to a healthy marriage . mike : we were communicating pretty good at the library . katie : you know , mikey , i like the way you think . [ scene_break ] maddie : do you think we should call will and tell him what happened ? casey : no , i think we should stay out of it . maddie : what possible reason could jade have to see gwen ? casey : i 'm sure she has something up her sleeve . and i 'm sure that it has something to do with will . [ scene_break ] will : why did she leave ? she does n't have her prescriptions . luke : i do n't know . i -- will : what ? luke : nothing . i just was hungry , so i went to get something to eat . and then when i came back , she was gone . so i guess she 's feeling better and just checked herself out . will : okay . all right , why do n't you tell me what 's really going on ? [ scene_break ] [ door creaks ] gwen : jade ? jade , where are you ? jade ? [ next_on ] simon : you deserve better , but you have every right to walk out on me and this partnership . lily : yes ? theresa : my name is theresa . will : those are jade 's medical records . luke : yeah , and they 're private , and she asked me to hold onto this copy for her . will : she 's carrying my child . if something 's wrong , then i have a right to know . luke : will , will -- gwen : it 's will . jade : do n't answer it . gwen : why not ? jade : because i 'm not finished .	when mike and katie are dropping off copies of oakdale confidential at the library , katie receives word craig is back in town . craig tells lucy he is setting up a fund and donating money in jen 's name ; lucy is furious and walks out . craig tells meg as well about his plans , but she knows he is partly doing this to upset paul . barbara and paul will not take craig 's actions lying down , but dusty seems strangely cool . he tells lucy he thinks craig is trying to bait him into losing his cool so he can hold it over him when he tries to go for custody of johnny . lucy promises to testify against her dad and for dusty as barbara watches on . luke learns jade was never pregnant and promises to tell will if she does n't jade claims she will tell will tomorrow . a concerned will comes to see jade worried about her . luke makes a copy of her medical file as incentive for jade to come clean . jade gives luke the slip . gwen and jack talk about what is going on with him and carly . jack later also confides in mike about carly and simon sleeping together . at first simon claims the money in the suitcase came from lucinda and not a loan shark as jack claimed , but when carly tests him by threatening to call lucinda , simon admits the truth . carly is furious that she is going to fail and jack will be able to say i told you so about him . simon does n't want her hurt so he wants her to leave and he will deal with it alone . gwen , maddie and casey have fun at open mike night ... until jade calls wanting to meet alone with gwen . katie overhears mike and jack talking about simon but they wo n't tell her what it is about . paul keeps taking craig 's bait and threatens him passively . will is curious as to why jade would leave without her prescription - what is really going on ? gwen goes to meet jade at a darkened library ; jade does n't look happy either .
carly : if you 're not here because you feel obligated , then why -- sage : daddy ! jack : hey , sweetheart . j.j. : what are you doing here ? did something happen ? jack : we 've got some news . i 'm going to be moving back in here with you guys . sage : really ? forever and ever ? jack : just for a -- just for a little while . sage : can i call jill and tell her ? carly : yeah , i guess so . sure . jack : what ? i thought you two would be happier about this . j.j. : why ? we get a couple of months with you and mom . and then she 's gone , and then we move into a new house with you and katie ? why do n't you just go back home to your wife ? jack : hey , j.j . carly : let me talk to him . parker : he kind of had a meltdown while we were over at the lebos . and he tried to not to let anybody see , but -- jack : no , it 's good that we 'll all be here together . parker : you mean , katie 's moving in , too ? [ scene_break ] katie : for days you 've been telling me not to back off and leave jack alone with carly . so , what changed your mind ? brad : look , i had some time to think about it , and i decided that you -- you 're right . you are right . katie : you never think i 'm right . brad : well , that 's usually because you do n't know what the hell you 're talking about . katie : you are so arrogant -- brad : but -- but that 's only when we 're talking about sports or the show or how gorgeous i am . but now we 're talking about your life and your marriage . so this time you 're probably right . katie : something happened . something happened that changed your mind . brad : is jack fighting for you ? is he moving heaven and earth to spend every free moment with you ? no . so go with your plan . all right , do n't talk to him . do n't see him . do n't even think about him . just throw yourself into your work . and speaking of work -- katie : what do you think he 'll do ? brad : he will definitely stick with carly for the duration . that 's the way he 's made . katie : oh , my god . and if i do n't fight for a man like that with everything i 've got , what kind of a wuss am i ? reverse psychology . good call , brad . [ scene_break ] gwen : so i just show up at the time that it says on this card , and then i get implanted , and i walk out pregnant ? nurse : if the fertilization goes well , we 'll confirm your appointment . gwen : and what about -- and what about if it does n't go well ? nurse : we wo n't worry about that unless we have to . gwen : okay -- nurse : we 'll call you later to confirm . gwen : thank you . will : so , are you ready to go ? gwen : are n't you hungry ? you want to go get some -- do you want to go get some food ? will : yeah , sure . al 's ? gwen : well , we could -- we could eat here . at the cafeteria . will : why are you choosing to eat in a hospital ? gwen : well , they 're just going to call me to confirm my appointment anyway . so , i mean , we could just stay here . will : but if all we 're going to be doing is waiting around , then why not do it at home or the movies ? gwen : well , because i plan on staying here until i know for a fact that our son or daughter is fertilized . [ scene_break ] paul : rosanna ? rosanna : i know what you 're thinking . it 's beautiful , is n't it ? paul : it 's gorgeous . what 's the occasion ? rosanna : our wedding .

[ scene_break ] brad : but katie , carly is dying . you ca n't fight that . katie : i can try . listen , jack 's not fighting for our marriage because i told him not to . i sent him away to carly . i gave up . brad : what else could you do to not end up looking mean ? katie : i do n't know . i can go over there and tell him that i love him , and kiss him , and that i will be waiting for him . brad : he said he was moving in with her . i mean , how do you get around that ? i mean , kick a dying woman in the head and drag him out of there ? i mean , he 's going to be there for her as long as she needs him . katie : yeah , and then he 'll come back to me . you 're starting to think that that 's not going to happen ? what do i do ? brad : do n't ask me . so are you -- are you going to go to jack , or are you staying here ? katie : i 'm staying here . i do n't want to make things harder for him or me . let 's get back to work . brad : right . work . that was a good answer . and then after work , we can hang out . you know , go get a drink , maybe go for a drive . you know , help pass the time . whatever . katie : you want to be my rebound guy . brad : well , no -- i mean , i 'm not locked into that . i can go either way . i mean , if you want to get back together with jack , i 'll just be your interim guy . and while he 's playing , you know , nursemaid , we can just -- we could play . katie : i am not sleeping with my husband 's brother . brad : i did n't ask you to . whoa , i was talking about hanging out in - law style . you have a very dirty mind , katie snyder . it 's disgusting . [ scene_break ] jack : katie knows that your mom needs help , so even though this is really tough on her , she understands why i have to be here right now . let me tell you something , parker . she has been great with everything . carly : hey , parker , would you find your brother , please ? i 'd like to speak with you guys . parker : sure . carly : thanks . jack : you want to talk to them alone ? carly : yeah . j.j. 's already lost one mother . i do n't want him to think he 's -- i just want to make this easier for him if i can . jack : i 'll take a walk . carly : okay . j.j. : sorry about that before . carly : no . no , i 'm sorry that you have to go through this . i want to talk to you about something . j.j. : what ? is it bad news ? carly : no . no , no . something 's happened . parker : i knew it ! you 're not dying . you 're going to be all right . [ scene_break ] katie : i 'm sorry i jumped to the wrong conclusion . brad : okay . okay , i will forgive you since you 're under such distress . and seriously , katie , i really want to help you . katie : you can make carly 's tumor go away . that would help me . brad : okay , maybe there is something else . something easier . something fun . katie : my life is not really exactly fun right now and probably wo n't be for a while . so -- brad : wait , wait , who do you think jack married ? was n't somebody mopey and sad . you made him laugh . katie : well , he 's not around right now , so i really do n't have to worry about that , right ? brad : do you think he 's going to be rushing back if every time he sees you , you look like the one who 's dying ? katie : that 's not funny . brad : nothing is with you . not anymore . look the only way you 're going to get jack back is being the woman that he married . katie : how ? how am i supposed to do that ? brad : hang out with me . i 'm lots of laughs . katie : i ca n't -- i ca n't do that . you 're jack 's brother . and every time i look at you , i see him . and when i think of him , i hurt . so , i 'm sorry , but just for a while , i ca n't -- i ca n't be around you . brad : wait , how are we going to manage that ? we work together . katie : so from now on , that 's all we do . please just stay from me .

[ scene_break ] parker : mom wanted us not to worry so much . jack : she 's right about that . we ca n't change the situation , but we should n't let it make us miserable all the time , we should enjoy the time we have left together . carly : going somewhere ? jack : yeah , i forgot . i 've got to run some errands . carly : will you be back to help with sage 's project ? or should we start without you ? jack : no , i should n't be that long . carly : bye . jack : bye . j.j. : bye , dad . parker : i 'll see you later . carly : well , thanks for understanding , guys . j.j. : so , when can we tell dad about this ? parker : when mom 's all better . carly : it 'll be our secret , just for now , okay ? parker : sure . j.j. : you got it , mom .

[ scene_break ] katie : what happened to your face ? simon : it 's not as bad as it looks . katie : who did that to you ? simon : nobody . i had a few too many drinks and , you know , clumsy old me walked into a door . katie : you 're such a liar . you have n't had any drinks . simon : last night , it was . okay ? katie : oh , okay . so that 's why you were wearing the sunglasses in the lounge . you did n't want anyone to know what had happened . simon : wow , i 'd forgotten how nosy you were . katie : yeah , i 'm nosy , but you 're an idiot . how stupid can you be , simon ? getting involved with a loan shark ? you of all people . you know how these people are . they 're killers . they get into your life and they destroy it . simon : listen , how did you even find out about this ? katie : carly . so do n't bother denying it . she also told me and mike that she was completely through with you , and then i walk around the corner and you guys are hugging . simon : wow , now you 're spying on us , huh ? katie : she came up to get her keys . what did you do ? pour on the charm ? oh , poor me . look , i got my face bashed in . oh , carly . please help me . please come back to work for me . oh no , wait a second . this is a setup , is n't it ? simon : what ? katie : you 're pretending to be hurt to play on her sympathy .

[ scene_break ] carly : you have no right to drag me down here without charging me . jack : you want me to charge you ? because that can be arranged . carly : charge me with what ? i did n't do anything . as a matter of fact , you 're the one who ought to be brought up on charges , jack , for harassing your ex- wife . jack : why do n't you have a seat . you 're acquainted with simon frazier ? carly : no , do n't know the guy . jack : did you or did you not admit to katie and mike kasnoff earlier this evening that your business partner , simon frazier , took a loan from a guy by the name of spirro to finance the reconstruction of an apartment complex located at 702 broad street . i 'd think carefully before answering that question , carly , keeping in mind that loan sharking is a criminal offense . yes or no . carly : well , jack , what i may have said to mike and katie is hearsay , is n't it ? jack : admissible under the rico statutes . see , spirro is an interstate offender . he 's got interests from vegas to miami . carly : well , he does n't have anything to do with me . so what is your problem ? jack : you are . you 're just determined to get yourself into trouble , carly . i mean , first you let simon talk you into working on some rundown rat trap that he refuses to bring up to code , and now the two of you are into a loan shark . are you kidding me ? at first , you were scared and you promised you 'd stay away from him . but now , obviously , the two of you have reconciled your differences and you 're right back where you started . on the brink of disaster , as usual . carly : why do you even care since i am so hopeless ? jack : because i still care about you . and you know that . [ scene_break ] gwen : what did you just say ? lily : you heard me . gwen : what are you even doing here , mrs. snyder ? lily : jade is my sister 's child . she 's my niece . and she almost died tonight , yes . will : jade is n't your niece . that was all a lie . lily : it turns out that she is . gwen : so she really is a part of your family ? lily : yes , through and through . dallas : i 'll leave you to sort things out . will ? will : yeah . dallas : you know where to find me . will : thanks . gwen : mrs. snyder , i do n't know if you 're aware of what jade has done -- lily : oh , she told me the whole story , about how she lied about being pregnant , how she set up the whole accident and pretend that she had a miscarriage . yes . gwen : which she was going to blame me for . lily : i realize that . gwen : she was trying to break up our marriage . lily : which is exactly how rose died . is n't it ? will , rose was in the way . will : that was an accident . i was only trying -- lily : you were trying to make her sick . i know . but when it all went wrong , what did you do ? did you admit your mistakes ? no , you did n't do that , because you were afraid . you allowed your brother and your mother to take the blame . gwen : will 's admitted to his part in that . lily : that 's why i would think that will would understand how a lie -- just a lie -- can get completely out of control . and how difficult it is to make it right , especially when you 're rose 's daughter . jade is awake . and she 's terrified of how you 're going to react . [ scene_break ] craig : there . now give her a try . meg : explain something to me . why are all engines female ? i mean , `` give her a try . `` cars , boats , it 's always , `` give her a try . `` craig : i do n't know . maybe it 's because they 're all beautiful and sexy and temperamental . meg : well , if this thing does n't work , somebody 's going to be very temperamental . [ engine starts ] how 'd you do that ? craig : well , the warden seemed to think that i needed a marketable skill . meg : what are you doing here , craig ? craig : i thought you 'd never ask . you know , you can turn her off now , she 's fixed . i 'm here because i need your advice . meg : mm . my advice ? craig : you know , i thought this -- this whole thing was a good idea with the research fund . and you , you seem to , you know , as a medical expert -- meg : oh , i 'm hardly an expert . craig : well , you 're in the trenches and you see sick children every day at the hospital , so , you know , i could tell that you thought it had some merit . but not everyone agrees with us . meg : craig , you know why paul and barbara are upset . this is all about rehabilitating your image . craig : and that 's a bad thing ? meg : you 're using jennifer 's memory to do it . and it 's very upsetting to the people that knew her and loved her . she hated you , craig . she spent every minute trying to make sure that you would never be a part of her son 's life . if she knew that you were invoking her name . craig : but why was dusty so amenable ? meg : he does n't like the idea either , but he 's changed . all he cares about is making things peaceful for his son . he 's really a good father . craig : oh . i never intended to disrespect jennifer . i was very sad when heard that she died . that 's it , is n't it ? her family 's still grieving . it 's too soon . you 're right . okay , i 'll call my attorney and i 'll scuttle the charter . meg : you 'll what ? craig : i 'll call it off . it was a bad idea . [ meg scoffs ] meg : just like that ? craig : yeah , well , i knew there 'd be problems . i mean , i 'm hardly a favorite . but it never occurred to me that i was offending jennifer 's memory . but sometimes you need someone else to point out the obvious , someone who is n't shouting at me . so , thanks , meg . paul : what are you doing here , craig ? why do n't you get out of here , craig , before i pick you up and throw you out of here ? meg : paul , paul . hey , it 's okay . paul : is that why you missed your little foundation meeting with emily , because you were busy here trying to get into meg 's good graces ? meg : that 's not what happened . craig : thanks you for reminding me . i 'll have to cancel that meeting . paul : emily 's already at the meeting , press release in hand . craig : well , then i guess i 'll have to call her right away . meg , thank you for trusting me under your hood . [ paul sighs ] paul : can you please explain that , please . meg : okay , just listen . i know you 're upset and i do n't blame you . i was n't happy to see him either when he first arrived and i 'm sure he came here to weasel some support out of me . but he ended up fixing the tractor and changing his mind . paul : fixing the tractor ? meg : never mind . the point is that he 's dropping the whole research fund idea . paul : oh , just like that . meg : i explained to him that even though the medical establishment loved it , it 's hurtful to the family to think of him capitalizing on jennifer 's memory , so he got it and he was backing off . paul : i do n't believe it . meg : of course you do n't . because you do n't trust him . and apparently you do n't trust me either . [ scene_break ] gwen : you know , mrs. snyder , there is n't a day that goes by that will does n't think about what he did to your sister . it broke him . you know ? and it 's only just now that he started to feel like he deserves his next breath . lily : you think that was unfair to bring it up ? gwen : i do n't like it when people hurt him on purpose . i do n't care what the reason is . lily : because you love him . he 's your family . and i love my family , especially my sister . and i would do anything for a child of hers . gwen : but jade is n't rose . she 's a liar and she 's selfish -- lily : i know exactly what she is . i 'm hoping that if we all give each other another chance , we can change all that . gwen : well , that depends on her . lily : and on will . [ scene_break ] jade : you must hate me . will : no . i thought i did . i was ready to tear you apart . how are you feeling ? are you okay ? jade : yeah , i guess . they said i 'm going to be fine . will : that 's good . look , jade , i want you to know that i 'm sorry . jade : for what ? will : because i 'm the one . i 'm why your mother 's dead . i 'm why you never got to know her . and i know you 're probably exhausted right now , so we should n't really get into it , but i just want you to know that i never meant to hurt her or you . i was just a stupid little kid trying to keep my brother from marrying your mom and leaving the country . and i know there 's no reason you should care , but i 'm not that person anymore . i 've grown up . and i just hope that one day you could forgive me . jade : of course i can forgive you if you can forgive me . i know what i did was wrong , trying to break up you and gwen . i know how much you love her . and for me to try and take that away from you , there 's no excuse . you 've been nothing but good to me . will : all right , so let 's just call it even . i forgive you and you forgive me . jade : can you ever forget what i 've done ? will : i do n't think either of us will ever forget any of it , but it 's over . jade : for me , too . [ scene_break ] carly : i still care about you , too , jack . i always will . jack : okay . then tell me the truth , carly . what the hell 's going on here ? why would you let yourself get involved with a loan shark ? carly : i would n't . i do n't want anything to do with that creep , which is why i had it out with simon after you and i talked . i went to him . i said , `` forget it . that 's it . i 'm done . `` and i left . and that 's when i ran into mike and katie . and i guess that i vented a little bit . but you know katie . all ears when it comes to simon . i guess she thought she was doing the right thing by going to you -- jack : i do n't understand . if simon 's using spirro to bankroll this project , why would you have anything to do with that ? spirro is a killer , carly . i told you that . once he sinks his claws into something , he does n't let go . he 'll drain this project dry and he 'll hurt anybody in his way . and if he goes to jail , carly , you 'll go down with him . carly : i went back to get my keys . i saw simon and we talked . and you know something ? it turns out i was wrong . and you know me , how easy it is for me to jump to conclusions . but simon does n't want to have anything to do with spirro anymore . so you can relax , jack . there 's no crime here . it 's just , you know , business as usual . [ scene_break ] simon : do you honestly believe that i would punch myself in the face ? katie : um , yeah i do , actually . you did pretend that we were stranded on an island , remember ? days on the beach worrying and starving when there was a four - star hotel just on the other side of the palm trees . and all to get my attention . simon : well , katie , those days are very much over . katie : right , they are . because i 'm a different person and you ca n't fool me anymore . simon : well i 'm proud of you . good for you . now listen , i 've really got to chug back a whole bottle of aspirin and go to bed . so do you mind showing yourself out ? [ simon grunts ] katie : you should really tape those ribs or put a bandage on them or something . simon : you know what , i 'll be fine . i 'll manage . thank you . katie : if you 're asking me to help -- simon : i 'm not asking you for anything . thank you , katie . just go . katie : so it 's true , huh ? they did beat you up . oh come on , there 's got to be a first aid kit here somewhere . simon : go home , katie . please . katie : do n't play brave with me , okay ? i know you 're in pain . you deserve to be in pain . and you know what ? i 'm not going to back off just because you 're in pain . because i was right . i was right about carly . i told her not to get involved with you because you were using her to get to me . simon : i was n't -- i 'm going to ask you very politely right now . please go home . katie : stop treating me like this . stop lying . stop pretending you 're some big developer and stop flirting with carly . it 's not going to work and it 's not fair to her and it 's dangerous . you reeled her in and now you 've put her and her family in jeopardy and that is just so low . i mean , it 's sick . why , to get to me ? i mean , if you cared about her at all -- simon : i do care about carly ! do n't you get it ? i never wanted to get her involved in this , so i told her to leave . now please , just go . [ scene_break ] paul : it 's not that i do n't trust you , meg . meg : look , i know what he is , okay ? and i know that every other word coming out of his mouth is a lie . i 'm not naive . paul : i do n't even know why we 're talking about you . this is all about craig . meg : yes , he 's the problem . and we just need to find a way to deal with him . paul : exactly . and the first thing to do is never believing anything that the guy says . meg : okay , fine . so when he goes back to the hospital and he withdraws his proposal for the foundation -- paul : that will just be another move that he makes in the board game that is craig montgomery 's life . believe me , he does n't change , okay ? he has n't seen the light . he does n't want to mend any fences or be a good neighbor , no matter how many times you let him fiddle with your carburetor . believe me . craig came over here with one purpose -- to try and prove to you that underneath that incredibly pretentious suit , he has a heart . meg : okay , fine . you hate him . and that 'll never change . paul : no , and that 's good . because it keeps me alert . meg , you -- you 're too forgiving . meg : i have n't forgiven him . paul : no , but you let your guard down . and now he thinks that he has your ear , your really adorable ear . that 's my ear . and i will bet you half the farm that craig never even had any intention of starting this foundation . he just proposed it to make us all nuts . meg : okay , so we 're back where we started . that i 'm too stupid to see through him . paul : no . meg : okay , then the fact is that you 're jealous and you do n't like the fact that he was here alone with me . paul : no , no i do n't . meg : and i do n't like the fact that you were obviously just with emily . but you know what ? that does n't bother me , because i trust you . so why do n't you trust me ? i 'm not interested in craig . i 'm marrying you , so why do n't you just calm down before i run you over with my newly improved tractor ? [ scene_break ] craig : sorry i 'm late . emily : yeah , well , it 's just as well . paul had a few issues with the copy . craig : does n't matter . i 'm dropping the idea . even if we call a press conference to announce it live , we 're gon na need to distribute a fax sheet of some sort . craig : i 'm not going to set up the fund . emily : why not ? it 's a great idea . there 're so many sick babies out there and i thought you were committed to making a new name for yourself , so why -- why do i get the feeling you 're waiting for me to catch up ? craig : you 're a smart girl , emily . i 'm sure you 'll get it . emily : you were never planning on going through with this foundation , were you ?

[ scene_break ] jack : so you want me to relax ? carly : i just do n't want to see you waste your time . jack : because you and simon , you 're just honest business people doing a hard day 's work . is that it ? tell me something . since you 're not using spirro to cover your costs , where are you getting your financing ? carly : someone simon knows . from overseas . jack : get out . carly : jack jack : i 've heard enough . get out .

[ scene_break ] paul : now ? you tell this to me , now ? rosanna is in my home right now , planning our wedding . meg : well you ca n't marry her . it would be a lie . just like my marriage to craig is a lie . paul : and these feelings , you say you love me , is it some kind of a delayed reaction ? because i remember a few days ago telling you how much we belong together . how much i needed you , and you could n't wait to get out of there . meg : i was hurt . we 'd just made love , and you started talking about craig . you made it about craig . paul : well you married the guy . meg : because i was trying to have a life without you ! but i could n't do it . i ca n't love craig the way i love you . paul : well you have no trouble sleeping with him , do you ? you have no trouble making yourself desirable for him . i saw you , you bought that lingerie for him . did you model it for him as soon as you got home ? meg : how about you ? have you slept with rosanna since you told me how much you wanted me ? i 'll bet she was all over after your little speech . how did it go , again ? that you never felt more alive than when you 're with her . paul : i meant every word that i said to rosanna . meg : what about what you did n't say ? about how much you think about me and dream about me . paul : you 're putting words in my mouth . meg : i am not putting words in your mouth . and i know that because that 's the way i feel . look , i tried to stop it and i could n't . i ca n't . you know what , i 'm not going to do this . i ca n't push you into this . i just came here to ask you two questions . paul : okay . meg : are you in love with me ? paul : yeah . meg : do you want to make a life with me ? paul : yes . meg : i ca n't wait to spend the rest of my life with you . paul : the rest of our lives . meg : okay , let 's go -- let 's go tell craig and rosanna , all right ? come on . hey , what 's wrong ? [ scene_break ] rosanna : i still think that the woman has not given up her quest to win paul back . craig : and because of your insecurities , i have to dodge process servers seven days a week . rosanna : listen -- a baby is exactly what she needs to shift her attention away from paul . craig : you underestimate yourself , rosanna . you already accomplished that . rosanna : what do you mean ? craig : the moving , loving toast that paul gave , inspired by you . meg heard that , and that did it . she 's finally put to rest any hope of ever getting paul back into her life . [ scene_break ] meg : okay , one more kiss . but that 's all . what ? paul : i ca n't leave with you . meg : okay , you want to tell rosanna alone ? you 're right , you 're right . it will be easier for her . paul : if you had told me this before , i would 've been able to be with you . but now -- meg : now ? now , now after you said you want to spend the rest of your life with me , now ? that now ? what are you saying paul ? paul : i ca n't leave rosanna . [ scene_break ] rosanna : i did n't realize paul and i had an audience for that toast . craig : well , you did . so seeing as our mutual mission seems to be accomplishing itself -- about the litigation . rosanna : oh , no , no , no . i am not budging on that . a deal 's a deal . craig : all right rosanna -- rosanna : no ! if you push me craig , i will push you back . and so much harder ! craig : at least we 're still playing on the same team , finally . rosanna : no , no , no . you and i are not , nor will we ever be , teammates . the only reason that i am talking to you at all is because we share a mutual interest in keeping paul and meg apart . if you think for a second that i have forgotten that you tried to kill me , think again . [ scene_break ] paul : rosanna lost two whole years of her life because of what craig did to her . she believes that i saved her . meg : and what ? you saved her life so now you owe her the rest of your life ? is n't that backwards ? does n't she owe you ? paul : her sister is dying . she 's in the middle of this huge litigation with craig over montgomery -- meg : craig , craig it always comes back to craig ! paul : i ca n't leave her right now . look i left her once before . and it gave craig the opportunity to hurt her and he almost killed her and i wo n't let anything like that happen to her again . i promised her . meg : is this your way of protecting her ? by lying to her ? paul : i think she just needs some time to get stronger . meg : she seems pretty strong to me . she 's got all her lawyers hammering at craig , and if you think she 's not running the show , then you 're blind . paul : i 'm gon na take care of her . meg : you do that , paul . you think she does n't see ? she does n't know ? how many times has she asked you if you 're sure , if you 're certain that you wanted to marry her ? paul : well she 's been through a lot . and after everything that she 's been through , i think she needs reassurance about a lot of different things . meg : she needs the truth . and if you keep lying to her , you 're going to hurt her more than craig ever did . [ scene_break ] jack : i should 've called the kids , let them know we were coming home . carly : they 'll probably be surprised . i think i led them to believe we were going to have a little more time together . wishful thinking on my part . i guess i 've been doing a lot of that lately . but -- its working , jack . we 're going to get our miracle , i can feel it . who are you calling ? jack : dr. evers . carly : why ? jack : well , we should at least let him know that you 're back in case he needs to reach you or vice - versa . carly : do n't . [ scene_break ] brad : i do n't want you to get your feelings hurt , okay ? so maybe it 's better that you keep your distance , at least until they get back from montana . katie : you think jack wo n't talk to me ? katie : well i need to let him know that i 'm not pushing him away anymore -- that i 'm still his wife and i 'm going to be there in any way he needs me . god , if there was ever a time that he needed me it 's now , can you imagine saying your final good - bye to someone . i would n't wish that on anyone , especially not someone i love . brad : actually , i 'm not sure how final that good - bye will be . [ scene_break ] carly : i do n't want you to call the doctor . jack : is there something you do n't want me to hear ? carly : ca n't we just be together for five minutes without thinking about it ? jack : i 'll take your suitcase up so you can unpack . carly : and stop doing that ! i can tell you 're thinking things but you wo n't say them because you 're afraid that it will upset me and that upsets me ! jack : i 'll work on that . carly : did n't it mean anything to you , jack ? being with you , meant everything to me . i want to hold onto what happened in montana , just for a little bit longer . can you understand that ? jack : yeah . because i want to hold on to it , too . that 's the problem . [ scene_break ] paul : i do n't know if i can do it . she 's picking out flowers for her bouquet . shoes , jewelry , even more shoes . she 's a bride , you know . she 's happy . she 's really , really happy . how am i supposed to just walk in there and look her in the eyes and tell her that -- well , that i 'm in love with you ? meg : how can you not ? how can you let her take vows to love only you when you do n't love her , not the way that she deserves ? how can you let her make plans for a family ? you know , i think that 's the thing that got to me . paul : craig wants you to have his baby ? that figures . meg : i want to have a baby -- or several with you . paul : that does sound nice . meg : yeah . paul : i should n't spend my life missing my life . missing you . i love you . [ scene_break ] carly : if you enjoyed our time together , if you felt what i felt -- why are you acting like you 're so mad at me ? jack : mad at you ? you think i 'm mad at you ? dammit , carly . i want you here . i want you right here , living , breathing , raising our kids . carly : i want that that , too . jack : and that thing ? that thing in your head that 's going to take you away from us ? i tell you what , i want to get in there . i want to hunt it down . and i want to kill it . i want it gone . because i want you right here , where i can touch you . and i can look at you . and i can fight with you . and love you . do n't die , okay ? do n't . do n't die . carly : okay . i wo n't . jack : i 'm sorry . carly : no . jack : i am . carly : no . do n't be . of all the times you 've yelled at me -- that was my favorite . jack : i 'll go take the suitcases upstairs . carly : tell me something , g -- man . when you have found that perp in my head and pulverized it , and you 're sure that i 'll be okay -- who are you going to live with ? me or katie ? jack : katie 's not a fling . no , she -- she 's not a replacement for you , carly . i was walking around with a lot of rage when you left with simon . and katie cured me . honestly , she did . so when i married her , i married her because i loved her . and for all those reasons -- carly : you know , i 'm hungry . you hungry ? i 'll fix us something to eat . [ scene_break ] brad : thank you . katie : explain . brad : what ? katie : what you just said about jack 's good - bye to carly not being final ? brad : oh -- okay , yeah . okay , what i meant was that -- that after going back to montana and remembering all the good times they had , jack 's probably going to have an even harder time letting go of carly after she , you know , kind of dies . it 's not going to be easy for you . katie : well , if jack still needs to take his walks down memory lane after carly 's gone , i can handle that . i 'll handle it . and if he lets me hold his hand while he does it , then i will love that because i love him . i do . and please give me my phone so i can call my husband . i got ta do it . thank you . brad : i 'm gon na -- i 'm gon na eat this at the counter . katie : wait , no , brad ? just -- i need to do this , and i 'm not having second thoughts or anything , but can you just be here , you know ? just in case -- brad : i 'm here for you . whatever you need . katie : okay .
