[ scene_break ] there is still the matter of what would now be in the best interest of this child . i have read the police reports concerning the kidnapping . ms. norbeck , what you did speaks of your immaturity . you took your child out of the state against this court 's order , without adequate means of caring for him . this was irresponsible and criminal . moreover , i am aware of the juvenile record of your friend , mr. munson . young man , given your past , how could you so cavalierly put your future at risk ? and this infant 's future ? gwen : it was n't his fault , your honor . again , i am not interested in excuses . what i do need to know , ms. norbeck is that you and your friend understand the enormity of your acts . tell him . gwen : yes , your honor . i do . from the minute i took my baby , i was so scared . was he sleeping enough ? getting enough to eat ? was he warm enough ? was he breathing ? and when they found us , and he slipped away -- i will never do anything like that again , your honor . i 'm glad to hear that . it is not up to me to decide if criminal charges should be filed in this case . however , i will write the d.a . a letter and suggest that no further action be taken . while kidnapping is never a preferable course of action , it is still understandable why norbeck felt compelled to take possession of her child . she had been viciously framed by mrs. snyder and she was operating on a sincere belief , however mistaken , that mrs. snyder had killed another child . ms. norbeck 's actions can be understandable , although not excusable . keeping that in mind , i have come to my decision . so this girl is totally irresponsible ! and carly 's completely out of control . jennifer ! the judge wo n't let the baby stay in an unsafe environment . but do n't you understand ? if the judge decides he 's not safe with carly or gwen , my baby could end up with total strangers ! we have to get him back now ! meg , you have to help me . please ! jenny , we 're working on that . but you need to give meg a minute . jennifer : there 's no time ! you have to calm down or she 'll say no , all right ? trust me , all right ? okay . do we have a deal ? next time you two think you have me all figured out ? think again . you do n't tell me what to do . ever . just look at my sister . will you look at her ? look how vulnerable jennifer is right now . you wo n't be helping her by seeing that she gets her baby back . you 'll be setting her up for years of torment from craig montgomery . and you 'll lose dusty in the process . you need to think about this . stop it ! i know what i have to do ! my new grandson should always feel safe in my hands , you have to get better . okay ? i 'm right here . i ca n't lose you . lucinda 's plane is ready to go . good . the med evac helicopter is standing by to take us to the airport . let 's move . [ scene_break ] your honor , on behalf of ms. norbeck , i 'd like to petition the court for a formal ruling for the baby to be assigned to her custody . gwen : your honor , i 'm sorry for interrupting . but i just have to say thanks . thank you so much for giving me the opportunity . and i although prove -- you 're out of order , ms. norbeck and under a misapprehension . but , i thought from the way you said earlier , that i am getting full custody of my son , right ? actually , no , you 're not .

[ brad laughs ] oh , man . i ca n't wait to tell -- that 's gon na make her feel really good . yeah , yeah , we 're gon na have a baby soon . ralph : yeah . baby on the way . oh , that 's fantastic . that really is . you 're gon na have to give her extra - special care for the little lady . brad : you better believe it . uh , so just make sure you get her out of here as soon as she gets back so she does n't see the cake . henry : all right . you got it , you got it . brad : and you know what ? you know , uh -- you 're welcome to come . you want to come to the baby shower , you can come . i mean , any friend of henry 's is a friend of ours . ralph : oh , thanks very much for the invite , but i do have some business to do . i -- i 've got to deliver a package . and henry here is nice enough to help me with it . brad : oh , man . i 'm so -- that 's -- you know , i 'm really sorry . that 's the business katie was talking about . henry : it 's -- its okay . we 're almost done . we 're almost done . brad : i got an idea . when she comes back , i 'll keep her occupied . you take the cake and bring it to the house . and , you know , that way , if i bring her home , she 'll never suspect a party , so she 'll be super - extra surprised . how 's that for a great idea ? henry : no . i -- i just think it would be better to stick to the original plan . brad : why ? henry : why ? brad : why ? henry : because katie thinks it 's her mission in life to save me from depression . and with vienna gone , if i just took off -- brad : you know , yeah . you 're right , you 're right . no , no , no , you 're right , you 're right . you know , she , uh -- she 'll worry . she 'll worry . henry : yeah . brad : smart . okay , so just make sure you call me when you two get close so i get enough time to set everything up to say -- you know , yell , `` surprise ! `` henry : i will give you plenty of time . you better get out of here before she comes out . brad : okay . hey , nice to meet you . ralph : yeah , you too . brad : remember , you know , hey , baby shower . you know , it 's -- well , you know what i mean . all right . henry : where is she ? ralph : where 's the money ? henry : it 's in my pocket . but you do n't see it until i see katie . ralph : that 's not the way it works . money first , girl after . henry : no . you -- listen . you listen to me , uncle ralphie . i -- i have played along with you long enough , okay ? i 've given into your threats , and i 've jumped through hoops . i 'm not gon na do that anymore . you wo n't even look at the check until i have katie in front of me . [ scene_break ] rosanna : look , you just have to accept the way things are . be honest about it . try to make up for it the best you can and -- i do n't know , do everything you can to show that you care about that person from that point on . parker : okay . um , i guess i 'm gon na go do that now . rosanna : okay . parker : you really ca n't get me any money ? craig : sorry , parker . parker : yeah , me too . [ rosanna sighs ] craig : did you mean what you just said ? rosanna : yeah . why ? craig : so i 'm the thing you did n't expect ? rosanna : um , of course . i -- you know , i did n't choose to have feelings about you or to do something that was gon na devastate my sister . but i am choosing to go on with it . i do n't know what that says about me as a person . [ rosanna laughs ] craig : it says what we have means something to you , and that means a lot to me . rosanna : does it ever bother you , craig ? i mean , what we 're doing to carly ? [ craig groans ] craig : i fell in love with her in this house . i proposed to her here . i never wanted to hurt her . and i even promised that i would n't . but here i am . rosanna : with me . why ? craig : because i never got over you . and i never would have known that if you did n't let me in . i 'm glad you did , though . rosanna : me too .

[ scene_break ] henry : i am tired of you running the show . it -- it 's my turn to call the shots . ralph : that 's an unfortunate choice of words when your friend 's life is at stake . henry : no . you could n't do that . you would n't do that . katie is an innocent bystander , okay ? you ca n't -- you ca n't kill her , all right ? you ca n't . ralph : i wo n't kill her if you give me the money . henry : wait a second . wait . h -- how do i know you 're not gon na pull another dirty trick ? ralph : because i 'm a man of my word . henry : how do i know that ? ralph : how many times have i threatened you ? henry : too many ? ralph : how many times have i come through ? henry : always . ralph : so you give me the money , i give you the girl . a deal 's a deal . henry : how does this work ? how and when do i get katie back ? ralph : i check with the bank . if the check is good , i release the girl . nice doing business with you . henry : yeah , i wish i could say the same thing . ralph : well , why do n't you go on to the party now . the guest of honor will be there shortly . henry : she better be , ralph .

[ katie sighs ] maybe there 's something up there i can use . yes . i can just hoist my pregnant self up there . [ katie groans ] [ scene_break ] brad : hey ! oh , i 'm so glad you guys could make it . hey , did i tell you that we are having a boy ? rosanna : yes !

[ scene_break ] margo : you know , given the history you have with my brother , it 's kind of surprising to see you looking so comfortable around him . rosanna : oh , well , you know . he 's , uh -- he 's not the same person he was , is he ? margo : he ran you off the road . you said he tried to kill you . rosanna : well , that 's true , but he 's changed since then . margo : i 'd like to think so . rosanna : you do n't ? margo : he 's craig . rosanna : he 's your brother . think you 'd have a little bit more faith in him . margo : well , i love him , but every time i do that , he goes ahead , and he does something terrible again . rosanna : well , he has n't done anything too stupid lately . margo : yes , he has . parker -- he went ahead and gave parker his trust fund . you knew about that , right ? rosanna : of course i did , and i was against it . but he 's since reversed himself . margo : oh . how did that come about ? rosanna : the important thing is that he recognized that he was wrong . margo : mm . tell me something , rosanna . what did craig do to make you so forgiving ? rosanna : what are you asking ? margo : i 'm not asking . i 'm warning . be careful . [ scene_break ] craig : find yourself a way out now . margo : and risk hurting herself for the baby ? craig : and once you 're free , you tell me who did this to you , and i 'll take care of whoever 's responsible . margo : oh , no , you wo n't . craig : because no one treats my sister like this . margo : katie does n't need you going all vigilante now . craig : you have no idea what katie needs . so for once , would you please just shut up ? margo : no , you shut up . craig : no , you shut up . margo : you shut up . craig : you shut up . margo : you shut up . katie : both of you , shut up !

[ chuckles ] brad : here we go . margo : thank you . craig : thank you . henry : can i have a refill ? brad : in a minute . i was -- i was gon na give a toast . henry : well , that 's all the more reason to give me some more champagne . brad : i was gon na give a toast to you , knucklehead . you know , its bad luck to drink to yourself . henry : a toasty to me ? why ? craig : that 's an excellent question . brad : when my wife gets here , i 'll give a toast to her . in the meanwhile , i want to toast to her best friend . you two -- you 've had your ups and downs , but you 've stuck by her always until the end , no matter what hard times you 've been going through . henry : yeah , you 're , uh , really embarrassing me here . brad : no , you know ? it 's -- it 's the truth . it 's the truth . when i married katie , okay , you became one of my good friends . and i know that when little junior is born , there 's no one he 's gon na be able to count on more than uncle henry . all right ? to uncle henry . all : to henry . [ scene_break ] katie : i 'm gon na kill your uncle henry , and this time , i mean it .

[ scene_break ] janet : what part of `` get out `` do you not understand ? paul : janet , look , do n't get upset . and no offense , but we did n't come here to talk to you . we came here to talk to liberty . janet : oh , yeah , so you could drag her off to california ? ! you two are out of your minds ! she 's not going anywhere with you ! liberty : mom , if you 're gon na argue about me like i 'm not even here , then i 'm leaving . thank god i 've got somewhere else to go . parker : that was crazy . liberty : mm , yeah . you just got to witness firsthand what my life has been like lately . if it were n't for you getting me this apartment , i would be going completely insane . can we just please go ? parker : no . liberty , we ca n't . liberty : why ? what are you talking about ? parker ? parker : i 've been trying to tell you all day , and i 'm really not sure how to say it . liberty : what ? what ? what happened ? parker : craig backed out of the deal , which means that i 'm not getting my money . and -- and therefore , i ca n't get you your apartment . [ scene_break ] henry : any sign of katie ? brad : not yet . i 'd better call her . craig : what was my sister chewing your ear off about ? rosanna : oh , nothing . you know , just the usual party talk . craig : uh - huh . something tells me there 's more to it than that . rosanna : no , uh -- well , she was just warning me to be careful . craig : warning you to be careful . uh , over what , icy roads ? grizzly bears ? [ rosanna laughs ] craig : the sky 's falling ? what ? rosanna : you . she was saying i should be careful about you . craig : margo -- of course you told her that 's absurd . `` no , no , no . craig treats me like a queen , with all the reverence and deference that one normally reserves for newborn babies and fine art . `` [ rosanna chuckles ] rosanna : i -- i did n't really put it that way . craig : did you tell her we 're together ? rosanna : well , you know , it was margo being margo . i really did n't think it was appropriate to say anything . craig : so you did n't confirm or deny ? rosanna : well , no . i just did n't want to push the issue , see ? craig : yeah . o -- okay . so so much for being honest and , uh , going public . unless you , uh -- unless you just were honest . rosanna : craig , i just do n't know if now is the right time . craig : do you have cab fare ? rosanna : what ? craig : do you ? rosanna : yes , i 'm sure i do . why ? craig : margo , would you please give my congratulations to -- to my sister ? margo : where are you going ? craig : i , uh -- just ca n't stay here . rosanna : i 'm so sorry , margo . i 'm sorry . brad : she 's not picking up her phone . henry : uh , well , she -- she probably just turned it off and forgot to turn it back on again . i do that all the time . i 'm sure she 'll be here soon . brad : really ? you 're sure ? then where is she ? margo : there 's still no word from katie ? brad : no . i want to know exactly where you left her and exactly what did she say . margo : all right . just calm down , brad . brad : no . why the hell did n't you bring her back here like you said you would ? [ scene_break ] katie : what now ? hello . who are you ? boy : you know . katie : my son . you 're my little boy . or at least you will be a few years from now . let me look at you . you 're so handsome . i can hardly wait to meet the baby version . that 's why i got to get up to that window and get out of here . you want to show me how to do that ? boy : you 're the one who shows me how to do things . you 're my mommy . katie : that 's right . i 'm gon na show you how to do a lot of fun things , like swim and climb a tree and ride a bike . boy : wo n't i be scared ? katie : maybe at first . but i 'll be there , and so you 'll want to do it for me , just like i want to figure out how we can climb up to that window and get out of here for you . i just have to figure out how . you 're such a smart boy . [ scene_break ] henry : uh , i was hoping , uh -- i think i made a mistake . brad : what mistake ? margo : henry , what did you do ? henry : uh , instead of getting a baby gift , a got a gift certificate to the spa at the hotel . i thought she was gon na make a reservation and come right here , but i -- i think she just decided to go -- go to the spa there and then . brad : why did n't you say that in the first place ? i could just -- i just give a call over there right now . henry : no , no , no , no . do n't do that . you 'll interrupt her -- her mud bath , her facial , whatever . she 'll get all worried . i 'll -- i 'll go get her there myself . come on . margo : w -- wait a minute . what if she 's not there ? henry : where else would she be ? margo : why do n't i go with you ? henry : no , no , no , no , no , no . she 'll be so disappointed if she found out that we had a big surprise party and she missed it . let -- let me go . brad : okay , okay , okay . jack and janet -- you know , they 're late . they 're not here anyway . so okay , why do n't you go get katie . you 'll get back , and then they 'll be here , and then we can still have the party . henry : that 's what i 'm talking about , all right ? ! so do n't cut that cake until i 'm back with the guest of honor . [ scene_break ] craig : we do n't have to come all the way in here to end it . you could have just left me in the car , and i could drive away . rosanna : is that what you think i want , really -- for this to be over ? craig : yes ! after your conversation with margo , yes . unless you just need to deny us in public . rosanna : i apologized for that ! craig : that 's not good enough ! sorry , it 's not . you 're ashamed of this . rosanna : i just did n't want to make an issue out of it with margo . i mean , she was so adamant about your bad - boy status . craig : and it never occurred to you to just stand up -- to just stand up for what we have ? rosanna : why does it matter so much what i did n't say to margo ? ! craig : because it matters to you ! you have one conversation with my sister , and suddenly , you 're looking at me differently . the -- the big question here is why is what margo thinks so important to you ? rosanna : i do n't care about what margo thinks . this is not about what margo thinks . this is about -- about what i think . wow , okay , you know what ? you want honesty . here you go . i 'm gon na give you a little honesty . you know the nightmares i 've been having . they 're about you . craig : you told me you did n't remember them . rosanna : oh , i remember them very well . trust me . i 'm in a car -- sound familiar ? -- driving along . and i look in the rearview mirror , and guess who i see in the -- in the car behind me ? and i 'm driving really fast , and then i pull over , and i -- i crash . i wake up , and i 'm in a cold sweat . craig : that 's grim . rosanna : yeah . yeah . [ sighs ] so i think that it 's quite possible that i might be a little afraid of you , craig . you know , after margo brought up the whole car accident again . craig : no , you 're -- you 're not afraid of me . rosanna : i am afraid of you . craig : you 're not . rosanna : yes , i am ! do n't tell me what i am -- craig : you 're not afraid of me . you fight with me . you criticize me . you love slamming doors in my face . you 're the one that took me to task when i tried to bribe parker to keep quiet . you 're not afraid of me . rosanna : really ? so why am i having these dreams again ? craig : because the -- the dreams are n't about the past ! they 're about what 's happening now . we 're taking a chance with each other , and it 's terrifying . [ scene_break ] emily : surely you can see that liberty 's better off with us than on her own . hi . janet : hey . what happened ? i thought you were going to your new apartment . liberty : it 's not happening . parker did n't get the money . janet : aw . i 'm sorry , sweetheart . but you know , it really is for the best . you 're pregnant . you need to be with family . paul : sometimes , it 's nice to have a place that you can escape to , and that 's what we 're offering . emily : right . so , i mean , why not just let liberty come with us . we 'll take her to our place , show her the pictures , and we 'll bring her right home . sound good , lib ? liberty : no . i 'm just not sure what i 'm supposed to do right now . janet : i know what i 'm going to do . i 'm going to call your father .

[ scene_break ] carly : jack and katie are over . he will never go back to her now . brad : why ? because he 's slept with you , and nobody does it better ? carly : this is n't about sex , brad . this is about knowing that there is one person who is meant for you . that now . brad : because he thought you were dying . only you 're not really dying ! carly : why do you keep harping on that ? brad : because you keep forgetting it ! how did i ever let you drag me into this ? katie , she 's -- she 's really trying . she is trying to be a good wife to jack . carly : i am jack 's wife . divorced or not , we belong to each other and our trip together to montana proved that . brad : look , the only thing that it proved is my brother 's got a big heart , and he will do anything -- anything to make dying less hard for you . no matter what it cost him . but look at what you 've cost him , carly . carly : it 'll all be worth it in the end . i 'll make it up to him . you 'll see . brad : i have seen enough . i am ending this tonight . i 'm telling jack the truth . [ scene_break ] jack : the truth is -- i do n't know why i slept with carly . katie : well , let 's figure it out . you two flew there together to montana , right ? jack : yes . katie : were you holding her hand on the plane ? jack : i do n't remember . what does that have to do with it ? katie : well , when you got there , did someone pick you up or did you rent a car ? jack : we rented a car . where is this going , katie ? katie : so you were driving , you could n't have your arm around her yet . not quite yet . jack : okay , i 'm not going to go -- i 'm not going to do this . i 'm not going to go through a play - by - play -- katie : you may not know why you slept with carly , but i 'll bet she does . because she 's the one who made this happen ! [ scene_break ] carly : you 're going to tell jack the truth ? brad : that 's right . someone has to tell him that you 're not dying . carly : not yet . brad : what about your kids ? carly : it was n't very long ago that parker told me he knew that i was going to recover . and i told him and j.j. that i believe that , too . brad : so everybody 's happy ? just like that ? carly : they had no trouble accepting it . and by the end of our conversation , i could tell that they were n't worried about me anymore . brad : okay , so maybe -- maybe that takes care of your kids , but jack is still twisting in the wind . carly : i 've planted the seed with him , too . he can see that i 'm so much better , and i told him it was because of montana . i told him just being there would make me well . now he 's skeptical -- brad : he 's skeptical because he 's a detective . so when are you going to tell him that the doctors made a mistake ? carly : i 'm getting there . brad : no , not fast enough . what are you waiting for ? carly : i 'm waiting for jack to ask me to marry him again . brad : wow , you really do dream big . what about the katie factor ? what about -- he 's married . carly : katie was in the wrong place at the wrong time . i know she 's hurting , and i 'm sorry for that , i really am , but this is not about her . brad : her heart is broken , carly . carly : well , there 's a way for her to get over that . brad : how ? carly : here 's a hint . he 's tall , dark and handsome , and his name ai n't jack . [ scene_break ] jack : you want to blame this on carly ? katie : you would have never slept with her if she did n't drag you off to montana . you think she did n't know what she was doing ? taking you to the place where you fell in love ? i 'm sure she had all the bright romantic touches -- jack : it was n't like that . katie : and did she keep reminding you that she would n't be around much longer , so you better have her while you could ? oh , god . why did i say that ? i ca n't believe i just said that . jack : you did n't mean it . i know . katie : i keep -- having these pictures in my head of sage and the boys growing up without their mother . why did i say that ? jack : you 're upset . but you 're wrong , katie . i needed to go to montana as much as she did . probably more . katie : what about the sex ? did you need that , too ? jack : it was n't like that . but i guess -- i guess it was my way of saying good - bye . katie : you 're the most honorable man i 've ever met in my entire life , and you just threw away your marriage vows ? jack : i know , and i can never make that up to you . katie : and i do n't know what you think you were saying when you had sex with carly , but it sure as hell was n't good - bye . [ scene_break ] craig : of course i wish you well , paul . in fact , i hope that you and rosanna are the happiest couple in the world . paul : why ? craig : wow , you have a clever one here , do n't you ? tenacious , like a dog with a bone . grr ! i was just sort of hoping that your bloom of love that perhaps rosanna would forget her past animosity and drop the litigation against montgomery enterprises . rosanna : i said no . paul : well , there you have it . craig , from now on , any future contact you have with my future wife , you 'll do through your respective attorneys . you can go now . craig : and so i shall . rosanna ? as always a pleasure . paul ? rarely so .

[ scene_break ] brad : i 'm not the one katie wants . carly : but you could be . brad : stop trying to run me , carly ! it did n't work while we were married , it 's not going to work now . carly : i 'm not trying to run you -- brad : oh , ever since -- shut up ! ever since you got your clean bill of health , you 've been -- you 've been plotting this course with you and jack at the finish line . but you know what ? you do n't care . you 're not even thinking about all the blood that gets spilled along the way . carly : you really do care about her , do n't you ? brad : yeah , and i 'm sick and tired of you pushing her around . carly : you 've been helping me , have n't you ? so when you spill all , when you make a list of all the wicked deeds i 've done , make sure you mention that i could n't have done any of it without you . [ scene_break ] jack : you have every right to hate me . but i was the one who was making the decisions here , not carly . she did n't have any choice in getting sick . katie : and you just had to have her . jack : and every time i walk into that house or i get her a cup of tea , i 'm trying to make myself believe this . i 'm trying to get used to the fact that she 's going to be gone one day , and i 'll never see her again . katie : okay . jack : you understand ? katie : i made a vow to take care of you for the rest of our lives , but it does n't look like i 'm going to get to do that for quite as long as i thought i would . jack : katie -- katie : so i am going to take care of you now , one last time , by telling you something that you need to hear . carly will always be with you , whether she 's here or not . and that is never going to change . never going to change i did n't want to believe that , and neither did you . but let 's just face it now , okay ? you 're never going to let go of carly . and i love you , but i will not settle for being married to someone else 's husband ! because whether she 's here or she 's a ghost , you will always belong to carly . jack : i understand that you 're angry , and you 're disappointed . i betrayed your trust . katie , and i know that i 'm asking you to accept something that 's completely unacceptable . katie : oh , wait . you want me to expect this -- jack : i do love you ! i do . i love you . and i promise you , this thing that happened with carly , i promise you for the next hundred or so years , i plan on being married to you . nothing like this will ever , ever happen again . ever , but i ca n't lose you . katie : i believe you . jack : good . that 's good . so this thing that happened with carly , it was a one- time thing , okay ? i just got ta help her through these next couple of months , and i swear to you -- katie : oh no , no , no . so the next couple of months , we do n't live together ? jack : i will come home to you every night , if that 's what you want , or i will keep my distance . whatever you want . but i ca n't get through this nightmare without knowing that you 're waiting for me on the other side . i need you , katie . i need you . and we -- we just need to get through these next couple of months . katie : and afterwards , we can have our life , our kids , and our marriage ? jack : yeah . yes , that 's what i want . do n't you still want that ? katie : that 's why i called you , because i wanted to tell you that i was ready to stand by you . but i ca n't . i just ca n't . i 'm sorry , jack . we just got ta let this go . [ scene_break ] brad : are you threatening me ? you would tell jack and katie ? carly : you 're the one who 's itching to clear your conscience . i wo n't say a word . brad : then how will they find out that i knew anything about what you were doing ? carly : katie is smart enough to figure out that you helped me hide the truth . brad : she 'd hate me . carly : oh yeah . she would n't want you as a friend , let alone a lover . and your brother ? he 'll never forgive you . brad : oh boy . but we ca n't keep hurting them like this , carly . carly : brad , that 's just what i 'm saying . everything will be better than it was before if we ride this out . jack will come back to me . katie will turn to you . no more hurt . no more pain . everything will be like it was meant to be .

[ applause ] [ scene_break ] margo : all right , well , what jack did was awful . but , i have to believe that there were extenuating circumstances . katie : carly will always be an extenuating circumstance . that 's the big problem . he 's with the woman he 's always loved , it 's just not me . margo : all right , well let 's just take the `` carly forever and ever `` aspect out of it . i mean , for a minute . katie : you ca n't . margo : just for minute . now look , carly has been part of jack 's life for a long time , and she 's , at the very least , a friend . katie : she 's a lot more than that . margo : she 's a friend . you 're his wife . but she 's dying . what are you going to do ? katie : stay with him . [ scene_break ] jack : the hardest part about this is whole thing is that i hurt her . up until now , we 've been dealing with stuff that we could n't help or change . you were sick . you needed -- you needed help , but i crossed the line . how do i live with that ? carly : i pushed you over the line . jack : no , it 's just not your fault . i do love katie . i do , but , carly , for as long as you live , we are tied to each other . carly : i 've always believed that . jack : i just wish it could be longer . carly : maybe it can be . jack : what do you mean ? carly : maybe i have more time than i thought . [ scene_break ] katie : carly is more than jack 's past or ex or friend . you look at two people , like you and tom , and you see that they have the perfect marriage . they fit together . they share everything . and when they break up , you 're thrown . how does a love like that just go away ? margo : sometimes it does . and then it comes back . katie : the minute that carly got sick , jack was there . it was like they had n't skipped a beat . he slept with her , margo . and the worst part is , i was totally blindsided because i thought he was that one person that i could trust forever . margo : well , at least he told you the truth . katie : yeah , after he told the biggest lie of them all . and i get it now . the time that jack and i have been together , he 's still been in love with his ex- wife . carly being sick did n't change anything between jack and me . it just made it all crystal clear . margo : katie , you stumped me on this one . i do n't know . but why do n't you just not make a decision tonight ? just not right now ? katie : i ca n't . if i let myself stop and think , then i 'll start to hope . and what 's the point ? carly 's going to die , and jack there 's nothing left to hope for . [ scene_break ] carly : maybe this is n't the right time to get into this . jack : no , you started it . finish it . carly : what if something -- what if something did change in montana ? what if everything i 've been praying for has already happened ?

[ scene_break ] rosanna : i know you would like to think of meg as some sort of saint , but she would n't think twice about pulling some sort of stunt to stop my wedding to paul . craig : that wo n't happen . but if you do n't drop this lawsuit , your marriage might be at serious risk . rosanna : are you threatening me ? craig : i am trying to be nice . do n't force me to tell paul why you lost your memory in court and refused to testify against me . rosanna : i 've already been honest with paul about that . craig : no , no . you could n't have told him everything . i 'm sure he does n't know about our little agreement , for instance . no , that would be way too tough to explain to paul . rosanna : you know , you should n't act so smug . you have your own problems with meg . especially if she changes her mind about having this baby with you . craig : for the last time , i 'm telling you that 's not going to happen ! now you get on your phone with your lawyer , now ! and you tell him to cease and desist all litigation . i want confirmation tonight that montgomery enterprises is back in our control , or you wedding -- that 's never going to happen .

[ scene_break ] henry : okay . okay . let 's put our heads together and see if we can find out some kind of way to save your marriage . katie : there 's nothing to save , henry . jack 's living with carly . jack 's heart is with carly . there 's no use in even pretending i have a marriage . henry : you still love him , though . you 're not pretending about that . katie : no . but i do n't know how he feels about me . he slept with carly -- after we got married . henry : well , that -- that hurts . katie : yeah . henry : yeah . i hate to be the bearer or reminder of bad karma , but have you forgotten that you slept with simon when you were married to mike ? katie : yeah , one of the worst mistakes of my life . mike 's the one i really loved . henry : yeah , yeah . so what if carly is jack 's simon ? what if you 're the one he really loves ? [ scene_break ] jack : hey , come on . were n't you the one trying to get me to believe in miracles here ? you just got ta keep thinking that whatever 's happening , it 's a good thing . carly : i do think that , i do . jack : okay , so keep it up . because the way your hands were on my shoulders -- you 're getting stronger every day .

what 's the matter ? katie : i 'm gon na go to the hospital and hold my baby . holden : you 've been pretty quiet since i came back . something wrong ? maeve : remember how you used to talk to me about eb , about how he was n't a good guy and i should try to get away from him ? holden : yeah . maeve : do you remember how you told me that i deserved a man who treated me better ? holden : what 's with all the questions ? maeve : i kind of got up in your business , and it was n't because of my feelings for you but more because of things you 've been saying to me , like i 'm a special person and i 'm a good person . holden : what did you do ? maeve : lily came by . holden : when i was downstairs . maeve : mm - hmm . holden : does she know that i saw her with damian ? maeve : she did n't say , but i do n't think so . holden : so , how exactly did you get in to my business ? maeve : i was just looking out for you , i swear . holden : what did you say ? maeve : it 's more like i let her think that you and i had slept together . i could n't help myself . she came to that door and she acted like she owned you . & i mean , what right does she have ? she married another man ! i saw the way she was looking , and i just let her think it . holden : it 's okay . it 's okay . maeve : it is ? holden : yeah . she 's got her life . i 've got mine . maeve : that 's just what i told her . you know , i got to thinking , and i realized something . holden : yeah ? what 's that ? maeve : that sticking it to lily was n't for me . it was more like a gift for you . holden : is that right ? maeve : you kept telling me that i deserve a man who puts me first . well , i think you deserve at least that much from a woman , and obviously lily 's not gon na do that for you . holden : obviously . maeve : so , this is your chance . make a clean break . you walk away from lily , and do n't you ever look back . damian : why do n't you tell me what happened ?

damian : you tell me , lily . lily : i 'm not that woman . damian : what are you talking about ? lily : someone who feels so worthless without a man , any man . i went to holden 's room for a reason , damian . i wanted to start our life again . and for me to end up here in your arms minutes later , i 'm not that woman , and you should n't want to be married to that kind of woman either . damian : so what ? you 're going to sacrifice your pride ? keep chasing after a man who 's made clear -- lily : i 'm not chasing anybody . damian : then what will you do ? lily : i 'll be alone . damian : for how long ? lily : i do n't know . i have my children . i have work . i can focus on that . it should be enough . damian : if that 's what you want . lily : i want my life back , okay ? i want to wake up in the morning and make choices based on what i need , what i want , not whether or not somebody 's in or out of love with me . damian : and while you 're living this solitary life , what happens to us ?

[ laughter ] janet : i fell in love with him at first sight , and i put him up on a pedestal so high it was really hard for anybody to live up to that , and he did n't , but then , when i saw him again , years later , he was a changed man , and it was all because of katie . he had grown in to a good , decent man who was also an amazing father to his daughter . and we did n't always agree as parents , but one thing for sure , there was never any doubt of how much he loved her . i 'm sorry . i told myself i was gon na keep it together , but i just -- i loved him so much . liberty : hi . i only met my dad a couple years ago , and i wish i could have had more time with him , but it was the most amazing thing that 's ever happened to me in my life , and i 'm gon na miss him a lot , and i love you , dad . i 'll miss you forever . margo : katie , you do n't have to .

'cause i 'm drowning here , and i have nobody left to reach out to . will : well , whose fault is that ? carly : i screwed up . i know . i did awful things to gwen to make sure that she looked bad in front of the judge . but honestly , i just thought that i was protecting that baby . will : and you 're gon na pay for it . so what do you want from me ? carly : just a little compassion . if not for me , then for my children . i mean , think about what will happen to them if i go to jail . will : what do you want me to do ? you want me to talk to gwen , get her to drop the charges , make your life a little easier ? carly : not to make my life easier . to keep my children from losing their mother . you 're the only person that gwen listens to . if you talk to her , if you tell her that i will do anything -- absolutely anything to make things up to her , i think that she will listen to you , and then i will have a chance . and that 's all i 'm asking for . just a chance . will : carly , just stop it , okay ? you 're wasting your time . it 's not gon na happen .

[ scene_break ] dusty : why do you need to be careful with me ? jennifer : because i told you that i needed my space , and now you start making up reasons for me to be suspicious of paul just so that we can see each other ? dusty : i called you because i heard will yelling at paul about paying gwen 's legal fees . jennifer : i know about the payoff . all right ? paul told me everything , what he did and why . dusty : oh , he did ? i did n't know that . what 's his excuse ? jennifer : he wanted gwen and the baby to get out of town and as far away from me as possible . dusty : why ? jennifer : because i was delusional . i thought gwen 's baby was mine , remember ? and he saw how much that was tearing me apart . he was just trying to protect me . dusty : so how does bribing gwen to disappear accomplish anything , unless he 's got something to hide ? [ jennifer sighs ] jennifer : look , it was n't just about me , okay ? he wanted gwen and the baby gone because gwen 's son reminded him of rosanna . dusty : listen to what you 're saying . that 's pathetic . jennifer : why are you doing this ? why are you trying to turn me against my own brother ? dusty : i 'm not . i want you to be careful . that 's all . paul does what he does 'cause there 's always something in it for him . jennifer : this is n't about paul . it 's about you . i told you that i did n't want to see you anymore , and you do n't like that . so now you 're just -- what , you 're drumming up trouble in hopes that i 'll rely on you again for protection ? well , it 's not gon na work , all right ? leave me alone .

[ scene_break ] katie : what the hell were you thinking , brad ? why would you go up to spencer 's hotel room ? brad : how do you know about that ? katie : because i was with margo when she called to report it . she said you attacked her . is that true ? brad : this is great . this is really great . first , spencer lies to kim , and now she lies to margo ? katie : she talked to kim before you did ? brad : oh yeah . i told her all about how i tried to seduce her in chicago . katie : she said you tried to seduce her ? brad : mm - hmm . and now it 's her word against mine . how do i fight that ? katie : kim has to know she 's lying . brad : i wish , but she 's so caught up in trying to be fair . and i have no proof . katie : well , i 'm sure it did n't help your cause by going up to her hotel room ! why would she say you attacked her ? brad : i do n't -- i mean , okay , she was -- all right . i 'm in there . she 's trying to push me out the door . i guess , i think , you know , and somehow , her blouse got ripped , okay ? it was an accident . it was an accident . i was trying to push her off of me . katie : brad , how could you put yourself in that kind of situation when you already knew she was trying to make you look bad ? brad : i had to do something about it , did n't i ? i mean , after kim got an earful from spencer , i mean , she was , like , this close to firing me . so i went to spencer , i said , `` look , i know what you 're doing . i 'm not going to let you get away with it . `` but i did not lay a finger on her . katie : yes , you did . her blouse got ripped . brad : that -- that was an accident . stop making me sound like i 'm some sort of sex maniac . katie : i 'm sure that 's what spencer 's telling margo right now . brad : i can not believe she went to margo . i did n't do anything to the woman . katie : yes , you did ! you went up to her hotel room , you got into a fight with her , her clothes got torn . you could be in big trouble , brad , and you know what ? you 're not going to have me or jack to help you out of it this time . kim : just when i thought it could n't get any worse . katie : yeah , i guess we were both wrong . kim : just a minute ! brad : well , i got to explain to -- kim : not so fast . you do that on your own time . i warned you to stay away from spencer , and what did you do ? you went up to her room . you leave me no choice . you are fired .

[ scene_break ] noah : this is my set , all right ? mason : right . noah : which means that my boyfriend is allowed here anytime that he wants , all right ? mason : i did n't say that he 's not . noah : because luke has been in on this from the very beginning , even after i told him that we were n't gon na use his script . so i do n't want to hear that he does n't belong here . mason : okay , first of all , i did n't say that he does n't belong here . if that 's how it came across , then i apologize . noah : how did you mean it , then ? mason : all i meant , and this is coming from experience , is that sometimes having your boyfriend on set will split your focus and make you even more nervous , okay ? noah : i do n't think that 's possible . mason : so why would you want to make it any worse on yourself now ? this is your first movie , all right ? the first and only priority you got to have when you 're here is what 's happening when the camera is rolling . but you got a great script . you cast the actors well . you 're well - prepared . so relax . have a good time . go with the flow . relax . noah : it 's just a little daunting . i mean , we are gon na be here all night . mason : yes , we are . and i 'm gon na be here to help you through it , okay ? p.a . : noah , the actors are here . noah : oh , great . you guys are right on time .

[ scene_break ] carly : you know , i just ca n't shake this feeling that there 's something parker 's not telling me . craig : i 'm sure he 's just worried about jack , and -- and he does n't want to dump that on you right now . rosanna : i do n't think it 's just that . carly : what else is it ? craig : well , you know , liberty 's been going through a lot lately . carly : oh , god , no . please do n't tell me they 're back together again . rosanna : no , no , no , no , no , no . parker and liberty are just friends . craig : and he 's been helping her through a pretty rough patch . rosanna : he is a remarkable young man , and you should be very , very proud of him . carly : i am . thank you . and thank you for looking out for him while i was gone . rosanna : carly , you do n't have to thank me for taking care of your family . carly : of course i do . you promised me you would take care of my kids , and you did , and i will always be grateful to you for that -- always . okay , i 'm gon na get myself a cup of coffee . you want any ? craig : no , i 'm good . rosanna : no . no thank you . carly : okay .

[ scene_break ] kim : uh - uh , brad . brad : so busted . kim : i do n't care if you eat the whole thing , but you might have to duke it out with the crew . brad : well , not without katie here to defend me . kim : that was a really great show you just did . you 're getting to be quite the star . brad : thank you . you know , she taught me everything i know . kim : that 's interesting . not too long ago , you would have taken that as an invitation to negotiate your own spin - off . brad : no way . we 're a team . she makes me better . kim : are we still talking about work ? brad : yeah , of course . i mean , what else ? [ scene_break ] jack : what 's the rush ? i do n't know how to answer that , because you do n't want to talk about what 's happening to you . carly : indulge me . let me be a bride . jack : i thought that 's what i was doing . carly : well , i want it to be more than just our signatures on a piece of paper , jack . i want our wedding to be very special . it 's very important to me . it 's important to the kids . jack : carly , i 'm a part of this , too . my priority is making sure you stay as healthy as possible . someone 's got to look out for you . carly : i thought the deal was you were n't doing this out of pity . jack : no , this is what i want . i would n't be doing this otherwise . but we ca n't pretend -- nothing . carly : you can say it . what ? we ca n't pretend what ? jack : it 's not like before . when we thought we had forever . carly : this is forever as far as i 'm concerned . jack : you 're right . you 're right . i 'm sorry . it 's not what i meant . what i meant to say was let 's not waste the time that we have . carly : i do n't want to waste a single moment . that 's why i want to do this right . jack : agreed . okay , so , i am going to go get the marriage license . and while i do that , you finish your dress and decide where you want to get married , because it 's just you , me and the kids . so once we figure that out , then we 're good to go . carly : jack ! jack : yeah ? carly : you 're going to need this . jack : oh , thank you . brad : hey . jack : hey , bro . keep an eye on her for me . thanks . brad : is there hazard pay involved ? carly : mmm , mmm , mmm . what do you want , brad ? brad : i just came by to see if you 're still dying . but if that peck my brother just gave you is any indication , he still has you filed under dead and buried . saving yourself for your wedding night ? carly : at least i 'm getting what i want . brad : yeah . a wedding under totally false pretenses . every woman 's dream . carly : you have no idea what it 's like to love someone the way jack and i love each other . brad : lucky me . carly : you know what ? i 'm not going to let you get to me . i won . and you know something ? jack has won as well . i am marrying my soul mate . brad : because he thinks you 're terminal . that 's not love , carly . it 's -- its intensive care . a strictly limited engagement . carly : why are you so mean today ? brad : get real ! okay , let 's just -- let 's just say you managed to pull this off . you and jack tie the knot . he 's already sleeping on the couch . you 're going to tell me that you can be satisfied with that ? carly : it 's temporary . brad : i 'll say . carly : he would n't be doing this if he did n't want to be my husband again . because -- there is no one else for us but each other . brad : i 'm not saying he does n't love you . because i think he does . but he ca n't live with lies . and here you are manipulating him back into your bed again . carly : i 'm not lying . brad : oh , okay . well , then , yeah , i guess you must have the tumor after all ? yay ! carly : but i was dying . that was real . and all the unnecessary things fell away . and all that mattered was getting my family back . brad : then drop operation deathbed . now . because when jack finds out that you let him and those kids think you were dying one second longer than they had to , he 's going to leave . and this time it 's going to be permanent .

[ scene_break ] chris : do n't say it , dad . bob : when we 're here , i 'm your boss , not your father . chris : well , dr. hughes , i realize i was n't here at the crack of dawn , but i do n't need to be on hospital premises to write grant proposals and crunch numbers . okay . seriously you want me to punch a clock like the rest of the support staff ? bob : that 's not the point . you have a job to do . chris : i know , but frankly , dad , i could run that lab in my sleep . bob : apparently . chris : hey , it 's decent work , but it 's just not the kind of work that 's going to build a reputation for your hospital . but i know how to change that , if you 'll hear me out .

[ scene_break ] jack : i got married to katie because i loved her . just because we got our marriage annulled does n't mean that my feelings for her went away . but with carly 's illness -- it kind of changed everything . i know that i hurt katie badly , and i will always regret it , but marrying carly right now is absolutely the right thing to do . i love her . i always have . we have a family together , and that means more to me than anything else in this world . and the thought of her leaving us is unbearable . this is just the one thing i can think of to help us all through this . minister : jack is clearly prepared to do a lot for you . carly : yes . yes , i know he will do anything for me . i do n't take that for granted . minister : i can see that . now , what are you prepared to do for him ?

[ meg scoffs ] meg : that you married lily under false pretenses . you knew that holden might be alive , and you kept that from her . what if she finds out ? you 're not gon na have a family anymore . and then what happens to noah ? damian : you told me officer grady went back to kentucky . meg : yes , he did , but he still knows . and i 'm trying to prevent any further heartache down the line . damian : no , you 're trying to stop me from moving in with lily . but you ca n't . it 's happening . we 're going to take care of the children , including noah . and what will it take to make you accept that ? meg : it 's a mistake . damian : listen , i do n't want to hear any more threats from you . it 's petty and selfish . meg : selfish ? damian : yes , selfish ! a life is hanging in the balance . if you care about family as much as you say you do , then for once in your life think about someone other than yourself .
