[ scene_break ] lucinda : i do n't want to mince words with you . but is it the cougar , tadpole factor that 's holding you back ? brian : come on , lucinda , i 'm not that young . and you 're not that old . lucinda : oh , yes , i am . cancer makes you feel very old . but wise . wiser . i know i ca n't -- i got to live my life to the fullest . i know i 'm sick , but i 'm so sick of being alone . and i think you are , too . brian : yeah , as a matter of fact , i am . lucinda : yeah , yeah . you should have jumped my bones earlier . brian : oh , for heaven 's sake , lucinda . why ca n't you just shut up and take yes for an answer ? lucinda : do n't you talk to me like that . brian : you love it . lucinda : i do . brian : another thing , you have to stop underselling yourself . you are beautiful , you are gorgeous , you are elegant , you are stylish , you are one tsunami of a woman . lucinda : you 're overselling . brian : no , i 'm not . i 've been in awe of you from the moment i met you . and i am completely convinced that we can have a wonderful life together , as long as we stay together . [ laughing together ] lily : mother , i did n't know you 'd be awake . lucinda : well , honey , how could i slumber through one of the highlights of my life ? brian and me , me and brian , we 're engaged . lily : i do n't know what to say . lucinda : muster some enthusiasm . brian : you know , i think lily needs a little time to digest . lucinda : no , now lily is going to tell us all the reasons she thinks this is a bad choice . lily : that 's not what i was going to say . but this is a shock . i mean , you just came through major surgery , mother . this is n't the time to be making wedding plans . lucinda : i 'm sick of being mrs. walsh . i want to be mrs. wheatley . and i do n't even have to change the monograms . lily : mother , be serious , you need to recover ! lucinda : if we can be happy , why ca n't we go for it ? brian : i completely agree . lucinda : yeah , and well , why are we waiting ? hey , lily . lily , darling , why do n't we throw ourselves a wedding ? a shotgun wedding . why do n't we do it ? right now and right here . let 's do it . brian : you mean tonight ? lucinda : yes . lily : you 're serious about this . lucinda : well , sure . all we have to do is get somebody on the phone , and we got a license -- lily : this is insane ! your anesthesia has n't even worn off yet ! brian : do n't worry , i 'll definitely check with her doctor first . and if you get the all - clear , lucinda , we 'll do it . we 'll get married tonight . [ scene_break ] noah : i really hope you have n't been driving . there 's no way you 'd pass a breathalyzer right now . luke : well , it 's nice to know that you care . noah : if you 're trying to make me feel guilty , you can forget about it . i did n't do this to you . you got drunk all by yourself . luke : i 'm not drunk . in fact , i can see much clearer now . noah : yeah , right . all i 'm saying is , do n't blame everything on me . luke : of course not . i wo n't . because you 're noah and you 're perfect . i 'm the big mess - up . noah : will you shut up ? stop feeling sorry for yourself and just drink your coffee . luke : yes , sir . colonel mayer , sir ! ca n't you see you 're acting just like your father ? colonel do n't - ask , do n't - tell . noah : okay , stop it . luke : what , noah ? you really should n't be ashamed of your dear old dad . 'cause you are just a chip off the old block . noah : okay , give me your keys now ! luke : no , no , no ! noah : luke . all right . that 's it . i 'm taking you home . [ scene_break ] carly : liberty , i 'm sorry , i just do n't feel very comfortable talking about this with you . and i 'm not trying to wreck your mother 's life , as you say . i 'm trying to protect my children . so if you do n't mind -- liberty : whoa , protect your children ? do you really think that when my mom marries jack she 's going to start whaling on sage ? carly : you did n't see what i saw . there was a red mark across my child 's face . now who else put it there ? and what reason do i have to believe that it was n't your mother , especially after she admitted that she hit you , too ? liberty : do i look like an abused child to you ? my mom 's not violent . and maybe she has lost it with me once or twice , but that 's all . carly : once is one time too many as far as i 'm concerned . liberty : like you 've never done anything to hurt your kids . carly : i do n't beat them . liberty : neither does my mom ! so if she says she did n't hit sage , then i know she did n't . it 's true . carly : i 'm sorry , but it 's going to take a lot more than your word to convince me of that . liberty : just listen to me , please . please . growing up , my mom raised me all on her own . and she put on a really good game face for my sake , but sometimes the pressure got to her . and she could n't ask her parents for help after they kicked her out of the house for getting pregnant . carly : well , i hope you 're not saying it 's all right that she hit you because she had a hard life . liberty : no , i do n't . i 'm not saying that . i do n't think there 's ever an excuse for hitting someone . all i 'm saying here is that my mom is human and she 's made mistakes . just like you have , carly . [ scene_break ] jack : listen , this is n't mine . it 's yours . and i want you to have it . you wear it right here -- janet : no , no , i 'm sorry , jack . why do n't you just hang onto it for a little while ? jack : why ? where is this -- i want to marry you . that has n't changed . janet : i 'm just trying to be realistic here . like i said no matter what happens in court tomorrow , there are going to be bad feelings on either side . and i do n't want you to lose your kids because of me . because you 're going to blame me . no , you wo n't want to at first . you 'll try really hard not to . but sooner or later , you 'll end up hating me . jack : janet , that is -- that could never happen . janet : i do n't want to be the reason you lose your daughter , because that you can not live with . jack : i know it 's tough right now . i do . but it 's not always going to be this way . janet : you 're right , jack . it could get worse . a lot worse . and you know it . jack : where is this coming from ? you were always the optimist in this relationship . janet : i know ! i 'm trying to be ! but sometimes , you just got to face reality whether you want to or not . jack : you want reality ? the reality is i love you . and i want you to wear this ring because we are going to be together for the rest of our lives . janet : jack , you ca n't always get what you want . [ scene_break ] brian : see you at the wedding , my love . lily : brian , i am sorry to have to say this , but i think you are taking advantage of my mother at a very vulnerable time . brian : this marriage was lucinda 's idea . she 's the one who proposed . lily : in a postsurgical haze . brian : she knew what she was saying . lily : well , fine . you could 've said , `` what a lovely idea . why do n't we wait a week ? `` brian : you heard lucinda . she does n't want to wait . look , i know we 're an unlikely pair , but i promise to be good to her . lily : she 's a very sick woman . brian : she 's going to get better . lily : i hope so , with all my heart . but if she does n't , you 're going to be taking on a very heavy burden . brian : i love lucinda , lily . i told you that . and if two people care for one another , and they want to spend the rest of their lives together , how can that be wrong ? can we discuss this some other time ? i do n't want to keep my bride- to - be waiting . i have to call the judge . lily : please , she 's been through so much . brian : i promise you , i never want to hurt her . i 'll do everything i can to make her life as good as it possibly can be from now on . holden : hey , pretty shocking , huh ? lily : i ca n't believe this is happening . holden : i know . but it seems like lucinda has already made up her mind . so -- lily : i need to speak to my mother alone . lucinda : oh , honey , i did n't want to ask holden . can you give me my mirror there ? and get me some lipstick ? lily : stop it ! stop it ! i am not going to let you marry that man ! [ scene_break ] carly : it 's getting late . you should go . liberty : you 're not even listening to me . the reason that my mom hit me was because she did n't want me to make the same mistake she did . the last thing she ever wanted was for me to be a teenage mother with a kid to raise . that scared her to death . carly : i do n't blame her . liberty : but when she 's with jack , she 's never scared . and she 's always happy . he 's the kind of guy that she has always wanted . carly : liberty , this is not about janet and jack . this is about janet becoming a stepmother to my children and putting them at risk . liberty : oh , come on . my mom is not stupid . carly , she 'd rather put herself under a train than to hit one of jack 's kids . because she knows that he would never forgive her for that . i just do n't understand why you ca n't see that ? carly : you know what ? it 's perfectly natural that you want to stand up for your mother . liberty : because she did n't do anything wrong ! carly : i disagree . and i 'm going to stand up for my kids . parker : hey , mom . carly : hi . parker : what 's going on ? carly : liberty just came by for a talk . she 's on her way out . liberty : yeah , carly . thank you for nothing . parker : what did you say to her ? never mind . carly : parker . hey , parker . hi , is something wrong ? sage : i keep thinking about tomorrow . carly : are you nervous about what the judge might ask you ? sage : mom , i 'm scared . [ scene_break ] janet : we have a really big problem here , jack . jack : i know . janet : your daughter hates me . and it does n't make me feel all warm and fuzzy about becoming her stepmother . jack : it 's only temporary , janet . sage lied because she 's hurting and she 's confused . that 's all . janet : god , i hope you 're right . jack : i am . janet : but let 's just postpone the wedding until sage comes around . jack : i am not going to let sage decide whether we stay engaged or not . janet : she 's not , jack . i am deciding . i 'm sorry , i ca n't do this . jack : i thought you wanted to be with me , janet . janet : i do . i do . i want to be with you . when we tie the knot , i want everybody to be happy . i want your daughter to be happy , i want your sons to be happy , i want my daughter to be happy . all of us . jack : i want that , too . please . please . janet : well , okay . i guess if i waited this long to find mr . right , i can wait a little while longer , right ? cop # 1 : jack , did you get the priors on that drug bust ? jack : yeah , working on it . give me five minutes , okay ? cop # 1 : okay , i 'll tell the lieutenant . jack : thanks .

[ scene_break ] lily : and how well do you know this brian ? did it ever occur to you that his motives might not be everything they should be ? lucinda : my money ? he does n't want that . and i do n't intimidate him . lily : well , good . great . why ca n't you wait a week ? lucinda : why ? why wait ? i married james stenbeck , i married don dixon , i married what 's - his - name ? i married mr. walsh -- lily : mother , what about a prenup ? there 's so many details . why are you rushing ? lucinda : lily , i saw him . i saw him . i saw the grim reaper . he was standing at the end of my bed . lily : do n't be so dramatic , mother . lucinda : no , i saw him ! i know this would be nice if this was a dream . because then i could wake up , and i could be myself . and i could feel that i was immortal and i could do anything , but it is n't a dream . and i 'm walking in the shadow of the valley of death . lily : you 're really terrified , are n't you ? lucinda : honey , sorry . sorry , of course i am . i 'm all alone . i want to live my life . okay ? i do n't want to die alone . all right ? oh , lily -- lily : you are not alone , mother . i promise , i will never turn away from you again . lucinda : i do love you so much . lily : i love you . hey , i 've got an idea . why do n't you move in with me and holden and the kids ? they would love that so much . lucinda : oh , no , honey . i do n't want to be an adjunct . i want to be a principal . you and holden -- i want you to be free in your lives . lily : do n't you know i 'll never be happy unless you are ? lucinda : let 's talk seriously . i did have an epiphany . i do n't know what it was , probably the anesthesia and all that stuff , but , honey , i do n't want us to end up like this , with me in the bed and you crying . i 'd much rather bring down the curtain dancing the tango with my partner . lily : it 'd be a waste to let those lessons go . lucinda : oh , honey , i do n't want to waste anything . anything . i love you , but i just want to have my life and live it to the fullest , you see ? you see ? lily : i do see . and i know what to get you for your wedding present . dancing shoes . lucinda : oh , honey . oh , honey . i love you . [ scene_break ] parker : just tell me why you were with my mom . liberty : well , i tried to get her to back off . i really do n't think that that worked . parker : what did you say ? liberty : well , i told her that my mom has a right to be happy and marry jack . but she 's making that really impossible , and so is sage . parker : yeah , i know . all right , i 'm sure sage is lying . and your mom did not hit her . liberty : it 's just so unfair , you know ? my mom has waited her whole life to find a guy like jack . she made that scrapbook of her favorite wedding dresses . and now , she has this chance to wear one of the dresses , and she 's giving up because of one really stupid lie . parker : look , i 'm going to figure out a way to help , all right ? just do n't worry , okay ? jack : i 'll take that for you . janet : i thought you had to work . jack : you 're not the only one who gets to take a break . i get one every once in a while . janet : jack , i have customers . jack : listen to me for a second . i 'm not letting you call off this engagement . if we back out now , it 'll be like rewarding sage for lying . now listen , i love my little girl , i do , i love her to death , but i 'm not going to be blackmailed by her . we 're the adults here , janet . we got ta be the ones in control of the situation . janet : that 's all well and good , jack . but how are you going to make sage tell the truth ? how are you going to deal with the circus in court tomorrow ? when you figure that out , and you get the green light for us to become one big happy family , you let me know .

[ scene_break ] dusty : lucy knows where i stand . lucy : no , i -- i do n't . nothing you 've said makes any sense . dusty : you know what happened , lucy . we had a great time . we had a great time for a while . and then -- as things went along , you probably got it confused for something bigger than it was . lucy : no ! dusty : yes . what you want is forever . and that 's fairy tales . that 's not the real world . lucy : we are the real world . i will never forget what it felt like the first time i knew in my heart that you loved me . and you still do . stop trying to protect me . my mother sees through it and so do i . dusty : well , then you 're both wrong . lucy : i do n't know who you are anymore . the man i love fought for me . he would n't stand there like a coward and lie to my face . he would never shut me out of his life like this .

[ rosanna laughs ] i was feeling kind of sad and lonely and you made me laugh . and you gave me hope . you have known me through possibly the worst time in my life . and even though i pushed you away , you refused to go . and i could feel you reaching out to me , and somehow or other , you became a part of me . you just believed in me and you believed in us . and even though i had been born to tremendous privilege , having your love has made me feel rich beyond measure . i love you so much and i know that i 'm gon na love you forever . so i ask you , paul , to be my husband , to be my strength , to be my best friend and to not just share my life , but to be my life , till death do us part .

[ scene_break ] craig : and why do you have to go to paul 's wedding ? rosanna : because i 've practically planned the entire thing . and besides , he is my friend . craig : well , you 're my wife . all right ? what is more important ? watching our son wiggle his toes in the warm sand for the very first time or the wedding of a narcissistic beautician that most people could care less about anyways . rosanna : wait a minute , how dare you make me sound like i 'm a bad mother when i 'm simply trying to keep a commitment to a friend ?

[ meg sighs ] meg : is n't marriage supposed to be a leap of faith ? i mean , i 've been holding back all these months , waiting for everything to be perfect . maybe what paul needs is for me to show him that i have faith in him -- in us . holden : so , if you marry him -- that 's the spark that will make him do the right thing ? meg : okay , it sounded better when i said it . holden : that 's because i think it 's risky to believe that you can change someone by just loving them . meg : do n't you think you 've changed over the years because you 've had a wife whose truly loved you ? holden : do n't make this about me . meg : what ? i think it 's a fair comparison . holden : okay , if i 've changed it 's been something that 's been very gradual . over the years . not a result of something that lily asked me to do . you 're talking about something very specific that you need from a man , and if he does n't give it to you in your marriage , it does n't stand a chance . meg : okay , thanks for the pep - talk . holden : you asked me to be honest . you and paul , you have a lot of strikes against you already , but i know that you really wan na make this work , too . so , what i 'm gon na do , is i 'm gon na offer you my arm and i 'm gon na walk you down the aisle and try and muster up all the hope and happiness that i can . paul just better prove that he 's worthy of it .

[ scene_break ] alison : i figured if cole was selling his baby to you guys , your lawyer had to be involved . so i set up an appointment with him . i dressed up like a pregnant woman and i pretended i was giving my own baby up for adoption -- gwen : i 'm sorry , that is a complete violation of our privacy . alison : i was n't doing it for fun . i was trying to help you . i just wanted to make sure that cole and sofie were the parents of your baby . will : so why did n't you just come to us ? alison : because you guys have already been through way too much . i did n't want to tell you until i was sure . will : and now you 're sure ? even though you have n't given us a solid piece of proof ? alison : just wait . aaron told me about a hat that sofie had knitted for her baby . he said it was green with a little puppy on it and that she had given it to her lawyer to give to the adoptive parents . when i met with your lawyer , i saw that exact same hat . in his briefcase . will : well , so we have the same lawyer . it does n't mean our baby is sofie 's . alison : but you 're both having girls . you 're both having closed adoptions . both mothers are delivering early . i mean -- will : gwen does n't need to hear any more of this , all right ? gwen : no , come on . i want to hear it . i want to hear everything she has to say . alison : the only other thing is , aaron and i noticed that every time sofie got news about her own pregnancy , wham , just like that , you guys would get the same info about your own baby . i really wish none of this was true . and i know how much this baby means to you , and it 's so unfair , but i know it 's the same baby . i just know it ! gwen : i believe her , will . will : me , too . gwen : what are we going to do ? will : i 'm going to find out who else was in on this . gwen : do you think sofie was ? i ca n't imagine her want us to adopt her baby . alison : aaron and i figured the lawyer lied to her too . gwen : i hate him ! i hate my brother , will ! what kind of monster buys and sells babies ? will : well obviously , he was n't in this alone . i 'm sure his lawyer paid him , and probably not out of his own pocket . gwen : oh , my god , we have to call your mom ! she trusted that lawyer . we have to let her know what he 's doing with her money so then she can call the police . alison : i do n't think that 's a good idea . gwen : well , why not ? alison : because i think barbara might have been in on this . [ scene_break ] iris : you know what ? this little girl , it 's a sign . it 's a sign from god that gwen and i are going to be able to start over again . barbara : oh yeah . until you get loaded and let slip that gwen 's baby is actually cole 's . no , no , no , no . that is not going to happen , iris . because you know what ? i 'm not willing to take that gamble . so there will be no starting over . you will get on a plane and you will get out of town , and so will your son and so will the girlfriend . and no one will ever know that you had anything to do with this baby . [ scene_break ] katie : i 'm not saying i 'm going to take brad up on his offer . henry : thank god . katie : but vienna 's right , i do want kids . and maybe it 's about time i started thinking about what i 'm willing to sacrifice to get them . henry : well , do n't sacrifice your self respect , okay ? there are a lot of other guys out there besides brad . katie : yeah , i know . but do you know how exhausting it is trying to find the perfect guy ? i need to face the fact that , you know , marriage probably just is n't for me . i have n't been very good at making it last . henry : yeah , do n't give up no love though -- do you remember how head over heels happy you were with jack ? katie : yeah , i love jack . i was completely in love with him . but even when he said that he might not want to have kids , i was ready to walk . because i ca n't imagine my life without children . what does that say about me ? vienna : that you want to be a mother , and that you deserve to be a mother ! and if brad snyder can help you be a mother , i 'd say , go for it !

[ scene_break ] vienna : maybe you should call brad right now . henry : wait , vienna , will you wait a second ? just because katie is prepared to have a baby with a man that she is not in love with , that does n't mean there are n't other considerations here . for example , what kind of father would brad be ? katie : it does n't really matter . he wo n't be doing the day to day parenting . that would be my job . vienna : you 're going to be wonderful , katie . she has so much to offer . katie : and besides , if i got into trouble , i could call brad in a pinch . he 's amazing with kids . you should see him , he 's such a good uncle . sage loves him . henry : there we go , that is another reason why you can not do this , okay ? brad 's kids would be cousins of jack 's kids . that means that you would be tied to jack , and carly , for like eternity , katie . katie : right , but maybe i was just jealous of jack and carly because i did n't have a family of my own . henry : are you sure about that , bubbles ? vienna : oh , do n't be such a party pooper , henry . making a baby is supposed to be fun . and if there is one thing brad snyder knows everything about , it 's fun . henry : that 's just -- look , just take some time to think about it , okay ? and while you 're thinking about it , maybe you 'll run into a prince charming who is looking for an heir to the throne , you know ? katie : yeah , right . customer : can i get someone to take my order ? henry : yeah , absolutely . have a seat , i 'll be right there . there is no rush on this thing , okay ? you have all the time in the world . vienna : so are you going to take brad up on his offer or not ? katie : i do n't know yet . henry did make some good points . i should n't rush into anything . vienna : well , perhaps , for now then , maybe you could be the mother of a gingerbread child . he has blond hair and blue eyes just like you . [ scene_break ] aaron : after cole told ali about the money he was getting , we were starting to put things together . coincidences did n't look like coincidences anymore . sofie : i just -- i do n't see how cole could have kept this from me . aaron : because he 's smooth . played a lot of people . even tried playing alison , but she 's too smart . she saw right through him . sofie : did you really see him hitting on her ? aaron : yeah . i 'm sorry , sofie . but with a kid in the picture , you really need to know who this guy is . cole : ah , there he is . this guy tried to break my nose . [ scene_break ] gwen : no . no . there 's no way barbara would have done something like that to us . she knows how important family is to me . if she knew i was adopting cole 's baby , she would have stopped it immediately . will : what makes you think my mom was involved ? alison : i told her my suspicions about the adoption and she was really sympathetic . and she said that she would call the lawyer , but -- will : but -- what ? alison : the next thing i knew , sofie and cole were rushing out of town like someone had sounded the alarm . gwen : look , i know that barbara always has n't been that nice to you , but she 's changed a lot . and you do n't know her the way that i do -- will : gwen -- gwen : will , she would n't do something like that to us . i know that she would n't . you know that . will : no , i 'm sorry . i do n't know that . alison : i should go . you guys probably need some time . i 'm really sorry , gwen . and i hope i 'm wrong about barbara . will : hey ali , thanks for telling us . i know it was n't easy . alison : bye . gwen : how could you do that ? will : what ? gwen : ever since i lost the baby , barbara 's treated me like a daughter . more than my own mother ever has . whenever she thought that we could n't be parents , she bent over backwards . she 'd do anything for us to have this baby . will : well , that 's the problem , gwen . when my mom says she 'll do anything . she means it . [ scene_break ] iris : gwennie is n't your daughter . barbara : not biologically . but if there is a lesson in adoption , it 's that the biological mother is not always the most viable parent . iris : no , it 's the one who can cough up enough dough to pay for her kids to have a baby . barbara : our deal stands . you want the money , you get out of town . iris : maybe i do n't want the money anymore . maybe i want to be `` grandmommy . `` barbara : get over it , iris . oh , and let me thank you in advance for agreeing to disappear voluntarily . and remember , if you do n't , i 'll find a way to make it happen .

lucinda : not a good influence . lily : hi . doctor # 1 : hi . you 're looking well , lucinda . how are you feeling today ? brian : well , other than being completely stubborn about doing everything herself , she 's doing great . lucinda : excuse me , brian . i 'm perfectly capable of answering my doctor 's questions myself . brian : oh , i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to speak for you . lucinda : yes , but you did . if you 'll just -- pardon me , i would like to discuss my options with dr. harry by myself . in private . brian : of course . i 'll be outside if you need me . lily : brian , wait ! it 's not you . she 's afraid of overwhelming you , of being overwhelmed . i think that 's why she did n't want you to come today . brian : yeah , and why she would so kindly kick me out just now . lily : my mother is not at her best when she 's afraid . i 'm sorry . brian : do n't be . i get it . it 's just hard for me to think of lucinda as being so self - conscious . lily : she 's more vulnerable than you know . brian : that 's just it . there 's still so much about her i do n't know . you know , but i plan to make it my life 's mission to change that . lily : you really love her , do n't you ?

alison : he 's trying to help you . luke : you do n't know the half of it . alison : casey ? could you back me up here ? casey : if he does n't -- if luke does n't want to go with him , we do n't have to force him . brian : hey , look casey ? did n't you just tell lily that you were here about a job ? how do you think she 'd feel if she knew the truth ? luke : look , brian , do n't threaten my friends . brian : hey , friends would n't let you get out of an examination before it 's over . alison : he 's right . brian : the doctor 's waiting . luke : all right . all right , fine . alison , casey -- go . i 'll be fine . alison : okay . casey : i 'll call you later , okay ?

i thought you were supposed to be helping brad 's case ? margo : she 's stating facts , katie . brad : so i forgot to turn in my key after i was let go . that does n't mean i was coming in there after hours to hide dead bodies . tom : do we even know no other keys exist ? margo : we do n't . brad : how stupid do i have to be to put a decomposing body in my locker anyway ? come on ! tom : the body appeared and disappeared . there is proof that brad 's the one who transported it . margo : well , none of that really matters now , because the reason the charges were dropped in the first place is because we could n't find spencer 's body . now that we have it , i have no choice but to place you under arrest for the murder of spencer mckay . katie : no , no , you ca n't do that . margo : give me one legitimate reason why i should n't ? brad , you are under arrest for the murder of spencer mckay . you have the right to remain silent . anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law . brad : stop , stop . we have to tell her . margo : what ? tell me what ? katie : brad -- brad : we do n't have another choice . margo : what is he talking about ? is there something you have n't told me ? because if that is the case -- tom : as your lawyer , i advise you not to say another word . brad : but this might clear -- katie : tom 's right . we should not be talking about any of this in front of margo . i 'm sorry . margo : katie , you promised me you were n't going to lie to me . katie : i 'm not lying . i 'm not . i 'm just trying to protect the people i love -- all of them . i just need a little more time . i will tell you about this , as soon as i am ready . but i just need a little time . margo : to do what ? katie : i think i have a way to prove brad 's innocence . margo : is it legal ? katie : of course . tom : you know , if you want to reinstate the charges against brad , there are some things that need to be done first . i mean , i know you know this , but a search warrant could take hours . if -- if you want . margo : all right . fine . you 've got a half an hour . brad : that 's all ? margo : that 's more than you had five minutes ago . katie : it 's enough . thank you , margo . brad : all right . all right , well we should go . margo : oh , no . no , no , no , no , no . you stay , katie goes . i 'm not risking you making a run for it . katie : it 's fine . it 's fine . margo : all right , just so we 're all clear here -- sooner or later i 'm going to have to make an arrest . katie : i understand . but if brad ca n't go with me , can i have a minute alone with him ? margo : yeah , why not ? why not ? why not ? brad : why do n't you want to tell margo about that mystery instant messenger ? katie : because i 'm not sure yet if he 's behind all this . brad : well , of course he is . he 's been , like , one step ahead of this nightmare since day one . you 're scared , right ? katie : yes , he told us not to go to the police with this . brad : how much worse could things get ? katie : i would rather not find out . please , just let me end this my way . brad : do i have a choice ?

[ scene_break ] jennifer : come on , emily , you do n't mean that . how could i even think about leaving before you and paul get married ? emily : because the sooner you can get away from this town , away from the holidays and the lingering memories of the baby -- jennifer : do n't you want me at your wedding ? emily : of course i want you there . we both want you there . but , i mean , if you stick around and wait till after we get married , you 're going to be forced to stay the entire holiday season . i mean , think about it . are you up for that ? all the family gatherings ? and you 're going to constantly run into gwen and will and gwen 's baby . jennifer : you know . you 're right , you 're right . i mean , until i found out that you and paul were getting married , that was my plan . it was to avoid all of that . emily : i know . look how upsetting it was for you to see them today . i mean , if you leave , you wo n't have to deal with that . you can just put it behind you . you need a fresh start , jennifer . you need to get away . you need to forget the pain you 've had to deal with these past few months . paul : i could n't agree more . the sooner the better . [ scene_break ] dusty : i never trusted paul . why would he keep his sister from knowing her baby 's alive ? what does he stand to gain from hurting her like that ? meg : who knows what motivates paul , ever . dusty : well , if jen 's baby is alive , it means that craig somehow switched her baby with gwen 's baby the night they were born . he makes a switch , he gets his kid , nobody 's the wiser . except who ? paul . he had to know . he had to know . from the start , i bet he knew . meg : okay . if that were the case , do n't you think paul would 've stopped craig ? dusty : i do n't know . i do n't get it . he lies to his own sister . he makes her believe her baby 's dead . meg : well , maybe he thought that somehow he was protecting her . dusty : from what ? meg : from craig . dusty : craig 's in jail for the rest of his life . meg : well , that does n't mean that he could n't somehow try to control jen 's life . dusty : maybe . meg : look . the truth is , the only one who knows the answer to that is paul . dusty : right . and he 's going to answer it to me , right now . meg : no . dusty ! dusty , wait ! [ scene_break ] paul : sorry to interrupt . why do i feel like the odd man out ? emily : oh , no . you just surprised us , that 's all . jennifer : emily thinks i should leave before the wedding , but paul , i do n't want to . you 're my brother . i love you . i want to be there for you . you 've been there for me through all of my ordeals . paul : well , i love you , too , jennifer . that 's why i want you to get on the next plane and leave town . jennifer : but paul -- paul : okay , just hear me out . if you do stay , you 're going to have to put up with mother and whatever campaign she launches to try and stop the wedding . she 'll probably even try and recruit you . jennifer : so ? i would never choose her over you . you guys know that . emily : of course we do . paul : but that 's not the point . i do n't want you subjected to that -- that ordeal . jennifer : i can handle whatever she throws my way just as well as you can . well , maybe not as well as you can , but -- paul : and nobody 's going to blame you for wanting to skip another sickeningly sweet holiday season . not this year . emily : yeah , and your friend 's expecting you , right ? jennifer : yeah . yeah , she 's real excited for me to visit . but i do n't want to miss your wedding . and you 're right about mom . she 's going to be there and she 's going to create all sorts of flak and you need me to be there to be in your corner . paul : maybe there 's a way that you can be there . jennifer : how ? paul : well , we 'll just move the wedding up . emily : we will ? paul : sure . tomorrow morning . both : tomorrow morning ? paul : yeah , that 's what i just said . jennifer : you ca n't throw a wedding together in one night . paul : throw enough money around , you can do anything . jennifer : no , no . no , no , no . i not have you guys compromise your wedding for me . paul : okay , look . maybe it wo n't be the wedding of the century , but you 'll be there and that 's important . and look -- do n't look at me like that . we have the rest of our lives together . and just like it 's important for you to have your family there , it means a lot for me to have my sister there . okay ? emily : yeah , i mean absolutely . i mean , if we can pull it off , why not . the sooner i 'm mrs. paul ryan , the happier i will be . paul : great . emily : great . paul : then it 's all settled . jennifer : you guys are amazing . i do n't deserve this . paul : oh , you do . why do n't you go pack ? and i 'll get on the phone to the airlines , try and change the flights . emily : and meanwhile , i 've got a wedding to plan . i mean , if not the wedding of the century , then the -- the wedding of the week . jennifer : i love you guys so much . emily : we love you . jennifer : thank you . emily : talk about springing a surprise on me . paul : i 'm sorry . i was improvising . we can pull this off . emily : are you sure about that ? you think i 'm going to be able to find a minister this short notice ? paul : if you ca n't find one , you just hire an actor to play the part . emily : excuse me ? paul : the only thing that really matters is that jennifer thinks that we 're married and she gets on that airplane . emily : what are you saying ? a fake wedding 's fine with you as long as it gets your sister out of town ? [ scene_break ] meg : wait , wait , wait . wait , dusty , would you wait and listen to me , please ? you ca n't confront paul about something we 're not even sure about yet . dusty : i 'll be able to tell whether he 's lying to me . meg : so what ? we do n't have proof . if he 's innocent , you 'll just get him riled up . and if he 's guilty , he wo n't admit the truth to you . ever . dusty : he 's been trying real hard for the past few months to keep jen away from gwen 's baby . he put her in a mental ward . come on . meg : yeah , that was because she was jacked out of her mind on crystal meth . dusty : that 's because he was trying to keep her from the truth , meg . that her baby 's alive . you understand ? meg : maybe . maybe . but that 's just speculation , okay ? you ca n't say anything to paul or jen or anybody until we know for sure . dusty : what 's going on , meg ? you go out of your way to bring me in on this , and now you 're trying to keep me from going after the truth . what 's the deal ?

b.j . : my point is , is that both of us -- me and judd -- were trying to be on the committee , and there was only one spot available . but i got pushed out of the running because somebody told the principal that i had shoe polished her car . katie : ms. parker 's car ? no way , i kind of remember that . did n't you have to wash and wax it in front of everyone ? b.j . : yeah , do n't remind me . katie : so obviously you were n't guilty . b.j . : no , of course not . of course i was n't . i mean , do i look like the kind of guy that would shoe polish someone 's car for a laugh ? no . judd allen set the whole thing up just to push me out of the race , and of course parker believed him . why ? because he 's smooth talking and good - looking . katie : hold on . ruthie kapinsky told me that he had a heart attack a couple years ago . b.j . : that 's right , he did . right after his auto parts business went belly - up . and i stepped in and bought the whole thing for a song and sold it to some japanese company for three times what i paid for it . katie : you put judd out of business ? oh my god , is that why he had a heart attack ? b.j . : no , no . i think it had something to do with the fact that he heard his wife was running an escort service on the side . katie : was she ? b.j . : no , of course not . katie , you 're still missing the point . katie : no , wait . i 'm getting the point . it 's coming through , loud and clear . you destroy people who get in your way , b.j . that 's horrible ! b.j . : it 's kill or be killed . it 's the law , the law of the jungle . katie : so how many people have you destroyed ? who 's on your radar now ? b.j . : that 's none of your concern . katie : yes , it is . you 're my friend . i do n't want you to go through life destroying people . you 're better than that . you 're better than the guy who got even with judd allen . b.j . : have n't you ever tried to get even or get back at somebody who kind of did you wrong ? katie : if i did it was a long time ago , and i 'm really glad i 'm not that person anymore . b.j . : well , then , that 's sweet katie . you should be expecting to be taken advantage of anytime now . katie : listen , tell me something . do you care what i think ? b.j . : yes , probably more than i should . katie : okay , then move on . forget it . be the better person . you can do that , ca n't you ? b.j . : perhaps , if i had a good enough reason . katie : you do . you have so many more important things to be thinking of right now . b.j . : like what ? katie : like us . b.j . : you think there 's really a future for us ? katie : if i can just get to henry and tie up all those loose ends that were never resolved , who knows what could open up for you and me ? b.j . : just thinking there 's a chance gives me so much hope . katie : then prove to me that i 'm right about you . you have to admit , since you 've come back into my life , you have n't exactly given me a lot of reasons to trust you . b.j . : i thought we were past that . katie : so did i . and then you tricked me into coming to this island . i find out that you 're responsible for putting one of my ex - boyfriends in the hospital , and now you want to rush back home to destroy someone else 's life , probably because they looked at you the wrong way . b.j . : there 's a lot more to it than that , believe me . katie : whatever it is , i do n't care . just knock it off . call off whatever it is that you have planned . b.j . : who says i 'm planning anything ? katie : it 's all over you . it 's obvious . that kill or be killed thing . but you do n't have to give into it . prove to me that i 'm more important than this stupid revenge . b.j . : okay . katie . i would do anything for you . katie : then do it . b.j . : first i want to give you something . katie : right this minute ? first , do n't you just want to call off whatever it is that you have lined up on the mainland ? b.j . : no , there 's plenty of time for that . i 'll be right back .

[ scene_break ] chris : well , as far as i 'm concerned , you should think bigger when it comes to lab space . evan : well , i worked with all the space you had available . chris : i 'd find the funds to double it , including staff and tech support . evan : awesome . we could test twice as many drugs and get fda approval much faster . chris : that is the idea , my friend . the more research we do , the more lives we can save . and if we keep it profitable , the whole thing pays for itself . evan : yeah ! that 's what i call vision . chris : well , that is why you and montgomery enterprises ca n't take your project to any other hospital . it has to be done at memorial because we 'll do it right . evan : so how do we get started when your father 's a major roadblock ? chris : oh , do n't worry . my old man 's not gon na be calling the shots around here much longer . bob : i would n't count on that ! this old man is n't going anywhere .

[ scene_break ] craig : well , you take eating for two very seriously . you want the rest of my steak ? meg : do n't tempt me . you know , helping that woman give birth burns up a lot of calories . craig : oh yeah ? i know that you were scared , but so was i . and i would n't have missed that for the world . it 's not often you get to witness a miracle . meg : you know , you kept a pretty cool head . ever think about med school ? craig : no , no , no . i 'm a businessman . my only job is to make sure everything is ready for our child when he gets here . or her . meg : so i see we 're making progress on that front . and we 're also looking for a house with a state - of - the - art nursery . and you 've already started a college fund . craig : well , it 's gon na take a lot more than a college fund to secure our child 's future . i spoke to chris hughes . he 's going ahead and starting up the research lab here at memorial . i think the project will be up and running by the time our baby gets here . meg : but i thought bob hughes said no . craig : he did , but chris said he was going to talk to him , not to worry about it , bob wo n't be a problem . [ scene_break ] bob : chris , i told you , evan walsh is not doing his research at memorial . evan : whoa , we were just sharing some ideas . this was n't anything official . bob : i 'd like to speak to my son privately . i ca n't believe you did this again . chris : i did n't do it to defy you , dad . i 'm just thinking about what 's best for the hospital . bob : no , no , no , you 're thinking about yourself and your own advancement . you know , i came in here to see you , to tell you that i was encouraged by the work you 're doing . and now , all i can say is , how deeply disappointed i am in you .

[ scene_break ] evan : i 'm glad i found you two . i think we have a problem . bob : this is the second time you 've gone directly against my orders . i do n't want walsh 's research in this hospital ! chris : he 's not working here . we were just having a theoretical discussion . bob : oh , you 're planning a new research lab that i wo n't support . chris : evan is getting very good press . bob : one article by your girlfriend does n't qualify as good press . no , this is about you -- you and your ambition . chris : this is not about my ambition . it 's about finding new drugs to cure disease and putting memorial on the map ! bob : memorial does n't need you to get a reputation . chris : it 's the 21st century , dad . the advances in technology , the kinds of breakthroughs that evan walsh is working on -- that is the future ! opening his lab here will keep us competitive ! bob : you know , you just made me realize that you 're not seasoned enough to run a hospital . to run a hospital , you have to be a leader , and leadership means thinking of others , not just yourself . chris : i 'm thinking about all the jobs , not to mention the lives -- the lives , dad , that could be lost if we do n't approve this project . bob : you know , i had hoped that some day you could take my place , but as things stand , i do n't think that 's ever gon na happen . chris : this hospital would be lucky to have someone like me running it ! someone with his eye on the future and not the past ! bob : i see . you have no respect for me and my experience . chris : no . no , i have no respect for a chief of staff who is caught in the stone age . change and adapt , or you deserve to be extinct ! [ scene_break ] evan : bob hughes walked in while chris and i were looking at plans for the research lab , and he hit the roof ! meg : well , i 'm sure that was n't a surprise to you . evan : no , but it 's a damn shame , because there 's no way for us to work at memorial now . we 're better off making a deal with harvard . i can fly to boston in the morning . craig : no , no . take it easy . do n't -- just do n't do that right away . let me just talk to bob hughes first , okay ? maybe cooler heads will prevail . evan : go ahead . i do n't think it will do any good . craig : i wo n't be long . meg : okay . good luck . so , are you sure no one can change bob 's mind ? evan : you did n't see how mad he was . when i left , he was geared up to really let chris have it . trust me , this wo n't be pretty . [ scene_break ] bob : you are way out of line , son . chris : i do n't understand what 's happened to you . you used to be open to new ideas . you used to support me when i wanted to try new things . but now , i can not even get through to you . memorial will never be the major research hospital it should be if you keep holding us back , dad . bob : so you think you can do this job better than i can ? chris : i know i can . and if you wo n't let me prove it now , i 'll be forced to prove it when you 're gone . bob : you wo n't get that chance . the only thing you 've proven to me today is you 're not ready to run a hospital , not now and probably never .

[ scene_break ] chris : well , if that 's how much faith you have in me , i might as well turn in my resignation now . bob : oh , you do what you have to do . unless you can give your word that you will respect my decisions and follow my orders from now on -- chris : how can i , dad , when i am convinced you are dead wrong ? bob : then clean out your office and turn in your keys to security . chris : fine , fine . whatever . but i swear , dad , you 're going to regret you did this .

tom : the defendant , carly snyder , has entered a guilty plea to all the charges , your honor . the district attorney 's office has no problem proceeding directly to sentencing . judge : any objection to that , ms. griffin ? jessica : no , your honor . judge : very well , then . i 've read mrs. snyder 's confession , as well as the park vendor 's deposition . is there anything you or your client would like to say before i impose a sentence ? jessica : mrs. snyder regrets her actions , your honor . she 's been cooperative with the police and with the court throughout this hearing process . and as her confession states , there were mitigating circumstances in her case . i would also like to point out , she is the mother of three children and the wife of one of oakdale 's most decorated detectives . judge : well , it 's my understanding that detective snyder was recently suspended for covering up the defendant 's actions . jessica : my point , your honor , is that she has strong ties here . for every misstep she may have made in the past , there have been a number of actions that have benefited her family and this community . the defense asks for leniency . judge : ms. snyder , this is not the first time you 've been before a court facing criminal charges , is it ? carly : no , sir . judge : the truth is , you have a history of breaking the law and getting off with little more than a slap on the wrist . maybe it 's time for a wake - up call , ms. snyder . maybe it 's time to ensure that you face a serious sentence for once in your life . gwen : we 're too late . now they wo n't let us in . will : relax . you just got to find a court officer . gwen : will you stay with the baby ? will : yeah , sure . gwen : okay , i 'll be right back .

[ scene_break ] barbara : so what part of leave gwen and will alone did n't click with you ? alison : i 'm sorry , but you do n't get to blame me for what 's happened . this is all your fault . barbara : what i did was private . it was a family matter . and now , because of your interference , my family is ripped apart . alison : if that 's true , and i hope it 's not , you have nobody to blame but yourself . [ scene_break ] gwen : do you think she 'll call back ? will : no , i meant what i said . i do n't want to talk her . gwen : will , look -- i 'm really mad at her -- will : gwen , i do n't want her in our lives after what she 's done . when we do have a family , i do n't want her to be a part of it . gwen : okay . will ? i 'm not sure i want that anymore . will : what ? gwen : i do n't want a baby . [ scene_break ] barbara : oh , i know you just got home . i do n't mean to intrude . paul : great , so you 'll leave then ? barbara : i just do n't know -- i do n't have any place else to go . rosanna : barbara , its okay . you do n't have to apologize . you 're family . paul : what 's wrong , mom ? barbara : i 've done something -- i 've done something terrible . and i do n't think your little brother is ever going to forgive me . [ scene_break ] dr. bullock : it 's nice to see you , mr. montgomery . why do n't you go in ? i 'll be with you momentarily . meg : sounds good . hey , are you coming ? craig : yeah , yeah -- i just got to call the office real quick and i 'll be in as soon as i can . meg : okay . craig : hello , eli . eli : oh , mr. montgomery , hello . how are meg and the baby doing ? craig : oh , my wife and child are doing just fine , thank you . eli : i 'm glad to hear it . craig : you know , i was hoping you and i can have a word . in private . eli : about your wife ? craig : no . about my ex - wife . rosanna cabot . craig : oh , come on , eli . do n't lie to me . i saw you together engaged in what seemed like a very , serious conversation . and that just made me curious . what would you and mrs. ryan possibly have to talk about ? eli : i was talking with her about the possibility of getting some funding for my research at the hospital . craig : networking a patient ? eli : is that frowned upon ? dr. bullock : mr. montgomery ? i 'm ready to get started . still planning on joining us ? craig : oh , absolutely . anything that happens to this child is of the utmost importance to me . [ scene_break ] paul : so the bottom line is that you bought a baby for will and gwen ? barbara : they were desperate to have a family . i was just trying to help them . that 's all -- let me explain . paul : well , that should have been your first clue to back off because you do n't help people very well , do you , barbara ? barbara : i owe it to will . all he 's ever wanted is a family . the kind of family that i failed to give him as a little boy . so , yes , that 's what i was trying to do . all i was trying to do , i swear . i swear -- rosanna : oh , barbara . barbara : you know what ? i was trying to give him that . after everything i put him through when he was growing up . i lost his trust . it took me years to get it back . but i got it back . i 've finally got it back and now -- now i 'm afraid that i 've lost him and i ca n't lose him again . i ca n't . paul : well , i hope you did n't come here , hoping that i would help you . because that 's the last thing i 'm gon na do . [ scene_break ] gwen : will , i think it 's time that we face that the fact that we might not be able to have a baby . you know , it 's cost us too much . will : what have i lost ? gwen : well , we 've both lost time , time we could have spend together happy . and you 've lost your relationship with your mom . will : gwen , she lied to you . gwen : will , i -- look , i ca n't help feeling like i do n't bear some responsibility in this . i 'm the one who pushed so hard to have a baby . you know , in a way , i 'm the reason she did this . will : gwen , i 'm not going to let you blame yourself anymore , it 's just wrong . gwen : i love you , okay , but i 'm not going to be the reason that you lose your mom . no matter what she 's done to me , to you -- to anyone . [ scene_break ] sofie : i do n't need you to take care of me . aaron : but i want to . sofie : you know , it 's not about what you want . it 's about what i want for once . aaron : i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to sound like i 'm trying to control you . you 've obviously had enough of that in your life . so , listen , just tell me what it is you want me to do , and i 'll do it . sofie : i want you to go . aaron : what ? sofie : aaron , i 'm grateful to you . i am . you -- you 've figured out that cole was making a deal about my baby and you stopped him . and i ca n't thank you enough for that . but i just ca n't be around you right now . aaron : sofie , you 're not making any sense . sofie : you know what ? trusting cole was the biggest mistake of my life . but when you step in and try to fix things -- it just reminds me of how much i 've messed everything up . [ scene_break ] noah : so , when are you going to tell your parents ? luke : um , about the walking ? i was thinking around christmas -- maybe a christmas surprise , but i do n't know . noah : why not ? they 'd be so happy . luke : i do n't know . i just feel like everything 's different this year because of the divorce . i do n't even know if my mom is going to be here for christmas . noah : oh , come on , your mom is not going to miss out on christmas with you . luke : oh , she skipped out on thanksgiving to go be with -- noah : sorry . i did n't mean to bring that up . luke : no , no , it 's okay . so , what are you doing for christmas ? noah : i do n't know . i guess i 've got to check someone with school to see which dorms are going to be open through break . luke : no , do n't do that . spend christmas with me . [ scene_break ] alison : i just wanted to see how the two of you were doing . gwen : we 're okay . alison : yeah ? good . will : how about you ? alison : oh , you know -- got up , showered , had breakfast , ran into barbara . gwen : how 'd that go ? alison : pretty much as expected . she was crazed . and she said it was all my fault because i kept asking questions about the adoption . will : she always does that . she places blame , but you did n't do anything wrong . alison : it 's kind of hard not to feel guilty . i mean , you guys are n't going to get to have your baby because of me . gwen : no , alison , the reason why we 're not adopting the baby because she belongs to my brother and to sofie . not because of anything that you 've done . i mean , the truth is , is that she was never our child to begin with . [ scene_break ] noah : you really want me to spend christmas here ? luke : yes . yeah , of course i do . well , i mean , if that 's what you want too . noah : yeah , why would n't i ? luke : because -- if we spend christmas together , it 's kind of like -- i do n't want to assume anything and i do n't want you to feel any pressure , so -- noah : you would n't be . it 's not like i have any family to go home to anyway . and christmas alone , in front of the tv , eating old chinese takeout -- it 's only really glamorous in old movies , so -- you know , if i do stay here , i do have one condition . luke : oh , yeah , what 's that ? noah : yeah , you better not hog all the covers . [ scene_break ] paul : you know what i did to jennifer . you know how much i hurt her when i kept the information about johnny away from her . and you turn around , and you do the same thing ? barbara : no -- paul : what is the matter with you ? barbara : no , sofie was giving the baby up for adoption . it was her decision . i did not influence her . paul : great , so why did n't you tell will and gwen whose baby it was ? barbara : because they not would have taken the baby . is that what you want to hear ? okay , yes , i decide to keep quiet about it because i knew how much this baby could mean to them -- paul : and you think that justifies what you 've done ? will and gwen should have been able to make the decision about whether or not they wanted that baby on their own . with everything out in the open . but you deprived them of that . it 's the biggest decision of their lives and you took it out of their hands . and now you 're going to have to live with the consequences . but do n't you come here and ask for sympathy , barbara , because that is the last thing that you deserve . [ scene_break ] rosanna : paul , that 's enough . leave your mother alone . rosanna : i am saying that i agree with you . i think that what your mother did was wrong . paul : that 's right -- rosanna : but i 'm just asking you to try to understand why she did it . paul : because she 's insane . rosanna : but her heart was in the right place . all she wanted was to help will and gwen have a family . paul : instead , what 's she done is she 's torn the family apart . rosanna : you know what that 's like , do n't you ? to hurt the people that you love to want their forgiveness more than anything ? i mean , it took jennifer being on her deathbed for her to forgive you for what you did with johnny -- i mean , do you want to wait that long to forgive your mother ? barbara : paul ? do you think you can forgive me ? please ? [ scene_break ] dr. bullock : now , i have n't had the chance to go over the full results of your cvs test , but there is something that i can tell you . would you like to know the sex of the baby ? meg : i do n't know . do we ? craig : it 's up to you . meg : okay . tell us . dr. bullock : congratulations . it 's a boy . craig : it 's a boy . a son . [ scene_break ] holden : i 'm going to check on ethan . emma : hey . cold . what happened to all my cookies ? noah : that -- that would be my fault . i guess i just ca n't say no to your cooking . sorry . emma : oh , my goodness , what a smooth talker , huh , luke ? ca n't say no to my cooking , well , i guess that means you want to stay for dinner , huh ? noah : i would love that . you know , i also just have to -- take some books out to my truck , so i 'll be right back . emma : okay . luke : well , grandma thanks for inviting noah to dinner , grandma . you know , he had a really , really good time at thanksgiving . emma : oh , that 's wonderful . luke : he has n't even stopped talking about it . emma : he 's welcome here anytime -- anytime at all . luke : well , i am glad to hear that because i was kind of hoping that noah could stay with us for christmas . emma : well , you know , we kind of have a full house with jack and the children , and brad , and your dad , and your brothers and sisters , i 'm going to -- i do n't think we have a single room left . luke : well , that 's okay . noah can stay in my room . [ scene_break ] aaron : okay . so let 's say i do what you want me to do and i leave you here alone . what are you going to do ? sofie : i do n't know . i have n't thought about it . aaron : well , maybe you should think about it . sofie : maybe you should stop telling me what to do . i can think for myself , you know . aaron : i 'm just trying to show you that you have a lot of other options . sofie : yes , you 're right , i do . i can keep listening or i can ask you to leave . and i 'm asking you to leave . i mean it , aaron . go . [ scene_break ] gwen : listen , no matter what barbara says to you , you 're not allowed to feel guilty about this . you did a good thing . will : alison , gwen 's right . if anything , we should be thanking you . alison : i do n't know about that . gwen : no . imagine if we would have brought the baby home , and then bonded with her , and then found out the truth , it would have been much worse . alison : either way sounds pretty awful to me , but -- look , i 'm just going to go . please do me a favor ? just take care of each other , okay ? [ scene_break ] paul : you did an awful thing . and you know it , whether you want to say it or not . will and gwen have every right to ask you to leave their lives forever . but what you did do , you did n't do to me . so , you do n't have to ask me for forgiveness . barbara : thank you , thank you . paul : you 're welcome . i 'll go talk to will , but do n't expect a miracle . barbara : you 're the last person i thought would come to my defense . rosanna : well , sometimes people do unimaginable things to hold on to the ones they love . [ rosanna remembering ] rosanna : it 's on tape ? eli : you switched meg 's dna test results . because you want her to think her husband is the father of her baby -- but the real daddy is someone else . and i do n't need a phd to figure out that mr. other is your husband . [ scene_break ] barbara : if paul does get through to will , and will forgives me , i do n't think i 'll be able to forgive myself . thank you . i 'll let myself out . [ barbara leaves and rosanna calls eli ] rosanna : i need to see you . now . it 's time to end this . [ scene_break ] aaron : i went to see sofie earlier today at the wagon wheel . cole bailed on her . just walked off and left her . she 's pretty messed up about it . gwen : wait a minute , she 's staying there all by herself ? aaron : mm - hmm . yeah , i asked her if she wanted to stay at the farm until she can figure out what she wants to do . alison : you did ? what did she say ? aaron : she did n't want my help . she kicked me out . will : well , maybe she just needs time to process . i 'm sure she 'll be okay . aaron : yeah , i hope so . [ scene_break ] noah : uh , what 's with the face ? luke : i talked to my grandma about you staying for christmas and she did n't really go for it . noah : ah . did she say why ? luke : no , but i get the feeling that she 's not exactly comfortable us -- being together . noah : what , you mean us seeing each other ? luke : no . i mean us -- being together . noah : oh . [ scene_break ] holden : hey , mama . what 's wrong ? emma : you know , i think i just made a terrible , terrible mistake with luke . [ scene_break ] will : you thinking about sofie ? gwen : yeah . i feel really bad for her . you know , i know we were really hurt by what our mom 's did , but she must have been just completely blind - sided by all of this . will : yeah , probably . but there 's not much we can do about it now . i mean , even if we tried , i think we 're the last people she 'd accept help from . i do n't really blame her . gwen : i just -- i know what it feels like . you know , that was me a few years ago . i was so scared and alone and i had no idea what to do . i 'm so lucky i have you . [ scene_break ] emma : i just -- i feel terrible . i feel terrible about not saying yes to luke . holden : why ? emma : well , it makes me seem like i really do n't approve of the relationship . and that 's just not so . i love luke . and whoever he is , i 'm behind him 100 % . holden : nobody doubts that . emma : i mean , i might have had some unease about it to begin with , but i am not some -- i 'm not some homophobe ! i think that noah is a wonderful young man . i mean , the way he saw luke through this terrible time , he 's just been so caring and so committed . i mean , to tell you the truth , i would n't want anything less for my grandson . holden : well , of course not . emma : but the thought of them -- being in bed under my roof , it just makes me uncomfortable . now , if that makes me some kind of a prude , so be it . it is just -- it is just not how i was raised . holden : we were n't raised like that either , mom . if meg had come to you and asked if some boy could sleep over when she was luke 's age , you would 've marched him down the driveway by his ear . and you were n't so easy on me and lily when we were teenagers . emma : oh , the things you two kids put me through . the sleepless nights . oh , my lord . i do n't think i 've ever really fully recovered . holden : you know what ? it 's not all that different with luke . emma : i do n't know -- maybe i 'm just so sensitive because he 's -- because he 's gay . i think that 's pretty insulting too , to tell you the truth . holden : listen , luke has made it very clear that he did n't want to be treated differently just because he was gay . you have n't done that . so why would you start now ? [ scene_break ] meg : hey , are you all right ? you are pretty quiet , and that 's very unlike you . craig : i guess , i just need to hear you say it again . meg : we 're having a baby boy . craig : i would 've been thrilled with anything , but this is just -- i guess i just ca n't quite believe it . meg : believe it . this is your little boy in here . our son . [ scene_break ] eli : this is some place . how many people live here ? rosanna : i 'm not in the mood for small talk , eli . particularly with you . that 's all yours . provided you have what i want . eli : you mean this ? [ scene_break ] will : you know , i ca n't believe you . out of all the people , i figured you would understand how i am feeling . paul : i understand . really , will , i get it . will : and that 's why you 're here , because you get it . this is my life that she 's messed with , paul -- my marriage . and i grew up watching her do it to me , to you , jen , dad -- this sick need to control everything ! and i did n't see this coming . paul : yes , will , stop . i understand . really , really , i understand . but i was hoping that maybe you could give mom a break this time . will : why would i do that ? paul : because . look , she 's lost a lot of people that she loves . we all have . but , well , she 's terrified she 's going to lose you too . will : good . she should be . [ scene_break ] emma : no , no , please . sit down . i 'm not here to make you leave . here you go sweetheart . luke : thank you . emma : in fact , just the contrary . i would uh -- i would like to ask you to stay -- stay and have the holidays with us . noah : really ? emma : but you know , i do have certain ground rules . luke : oh , what like he has to sleep in the barn ? emma : no , no , i 'm going to put you in the barn . luke : oh , you are ? do i at least get a blanky ? emma : no , no , do n't push it . if you can stay , you 're going to have to -- well , you 're just going to have to stay on the couch in the parlor . i mean , luke 's room is going to be off - limits , at all times . noah : okay . emma : now , i want you to know that -- it 's not because you 're gay . i mean , i would be the same way with any young suitor who came calling , especially -- especially someone as handsome as you are . luke : you know , i do have to agree with her on that . about the equal treatment and about the handsome part . noah : i accept . okay , mrs. snyder . emma : okay . so thank you , thank you so much for changing -- for doing so much to help luke these last few weeks . i think all that change has been because of you . you know , it 's going to be wonderful , wonderful to have you with us on christmas . [ scene_break ] aaron : the last thing i wanted was for gwen and will to get hurt , but i think we did the right thing . alison : i know . i know , i just hate feeling like i robbed them of something really great . aaron : you did n't do anything , alison . barbara did . alison : well , that 's what gwen said . but i feel like she was just trying to be nice . aaron : you know what i hate ? seeing you take this on yourself . we got to do something about that . alison : oh , yeah ? like what ? aaron : whatever it takes to cheer you up . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] gwen : hi . sofie : hey . gwen : how are you doing ? sofie : i 'm fine . i do n't really feel much like company right now . it 's nothing personal , i just need to be by myself . gwen : um , wait . actually , please . i just need to say this one thing and then i 'll leave . i 'm sorry . [ scene_break ] holden : okay , here 's the last of the christmas decorations . emma : oh , these old , old things . oh , boy . oh , boy , oh , boy . boy , the mantel piece is going to be real gridlock with all these stockings toe - to - toe . so many people here . holden : it 's gon na be just like when we were growing up . emma : yes . very loud . to think , i have to put up a stocking for mr. montgomery . holden : they 're going to be here ? emma : oh , now , do n't be like that . i mean , he 's family now . meg 's married to him , and she 's gon na have his baby . holden : yeah , but -- emma : no buts . no buts . if your sister can open her heart to him , i can open my home to him . for one day . holden : fine . but the lump of coal -- is coming from me . emma : you 're terrible . you 're terrible . oh , lily 's stocking . with all this talk about who 's spending who , where , and what -- i mean , have you given any thought about lily ? [ scene_break ] meg : i 'm going to take a shower . craig : okay , while you do that , i will order some room service and have some food delivered up , okay ? meg : oh , good .

[ meg comes out of the bathroom and sees craig talking out lout to the picture and stays by the wall ] hey , i 'm gon na be a father again . we just found out it 's gon na be a little boy , too . what do you think of that ? i want you to know that whoever this little guy turns out to be , he 'll never replace you in my heart . and if i 'm lucky , maybe he 'll teach me to forgive myself . for all the things i did to you i did n't have the chance to say i 'm sorry for . and if i am really lucky -- maybe it 'll help bring us both -- a little peace . shh . [ scene_break ] rosanna : forgive me for asking , but one can never be too careful when it comes to extortion . is that the tape from your lab ? eli : oh , yeah . you do n't look as perky as you do right now . you were kind of under the weather at the time . but it 's you , all right . switching the dna test results on meg 's baby . i took the tape from security as soon as i realized someone had been messing with my computer . rosanna : well , give me the tape . thank you . you can have your money now . [ scene_break ] emma : have you given any thought about how you 're spending the holidays ? holden : well , right now i 'm just taking it day by day . the kids have made it pretty clear that they want to spend christmas out here , so i think that 's what we 're gon na do . emma : what about lily ? she included ? you know how she loves to spend the holidays out here , you know , all the time . i know she 'd love to be with the kids . holden : well , i 'm not trying to keep lily from her kids -- it 's christmas . if she wants to be with the kids , she 's more than welcome to come here if she wants to be . emma : have you told her that ? hmm . maybe you should . it might be just what she wants to hear about now . [ scene_break ] gwen : um , i just wanted to say that -- that will and i , we did n't -- we did n't know that the baby was yours . barbara told us that it was a private adoption and we had no reason to think it was you . and if we had any clue , we would 've stopped it sooner . look , what my mom and my brother did to you is really horrible , and i ca n't imagine what it must have felt like when you found out . so , whatever it 's worth , i am sorry . that 's all i have to say . sofie : gwen , wait . [ scene_break ] aaron : come on . alison : where are we going ? aaron : it 's a surprise . what ? come on , you do n't trust me ? alison : no , i do . aaron : then what are you waiting for ? come on .

[ scene_break ] sofie : i should 've listened to you . i mean , you told me to leave cole , and you said he 'd be a terrible father . you were right . gwen : i really wish i had n't been . sofie : yeah , but what difference would it have made ? i 'd still be in the same place i am right now . pregnant , alone and wondering how i 'm going to take care of this baby . gwen : i do n't think it 's -- gon na make you feel any better , but i have been there . and i know what it feels like , so if there 's anything that i can do to help -- sofie : there is n't . gwen : okay . [ scene_break ] paul : i can see it was a mistake to come here . i think maybe you just need some more time . will : why do you feel so bad , paul ? if you did all of it out of love ? i mean , that is the ryan way , is n't it ? who cares if you lie or people get hurt ? it 's just your sister . or your son . you know , as long as you did it all out of love . right ? if you really feel that then -- i 'm sorry for you and rosanna .

[ cell phone rings ] lily : i should get that . holden : is it keith ? go ahead , answer it . answer it , lily . tell him that you 're coming home with me tonight . lily : hello ? keith : hey , lily , it 's me . i 'm starting to get a little worried . lily : i know , i 'm late , i 'm sorry . keith : what 's going on ? where are you ? lily : sorry . yeah , you 're breaking up . it seems to be a bad connection . keith : well , where are you ? you 've been gone a long time . lily : i came out to the farm to say goodnight to my children . you knew that . keith : i miss you like crazy . you 're still coming , are n't you ? lily : i 'll be there as soon as i can . keith : i ca n't wait . i love you . lily : bye . i ca n't break an engagement over the phone . holden : but you are going to call it off ? lily : i just need some time to think , that 's all . holden : you do n't want to be with him , but you do n't want him to know that you 're with me . lily , you ca n't keep doing this to yourself . you have to make a choice . [ scene_break ] emily : i am so tired of going around in circles with you . just do it . get it over with . if you 're going to charge me with something , then do it , so i can get arraigned and make bail and get the hell out of here . hal : what about daniel ? emily : do n't you dare talk to me about my son . hal : how do you think he 's going to feel when his mom gets thrown into jail ? emily : he will be fine . hal : what , are you going to pretend you do n't have to worry about him now ? you say that you love him . you say that you want to protect him . if that 's true , take tom 's offer . emily : no . hal : emily , we 've got you cold . dusty and i caught you in the act of destroying those records . hear me . if you go to trial , you will be convicted . and if you are convicted , you will go to prison . and if you go to prison , you will lose your son . [ emily sobbing ] emily : god . [ scene_break ] barbara : hal , paul 's been arrested ? is that true ? hal : yes . barbara : what are the charges ? hal : he kept our daughter from knowing the truth about her baby . barbara : the truth ? what are you talking about ? hal : did n't you just come from jennifer 's ? barbara : i was with her , but you had your man drag me down here . hal : dusty did n't show up ? barbara : dusty ? what does dusty have to do with this ? hal : jennifer 's son is alive , barbara . dusty 's taking the baby to her right now . barbara : hal , that 's not possible . hal : go to her , you 'll see . i 'm sure dusty 's told her the truth by now . barbara : jen 's baby ? my grandchild , our grandchild , is alive ? hal : that 's right . barbara : my god . oh , my god . hal : he 's a beautiful kid . he 's perfect . he 's perfect . barbara : and you 're saying that paul kept this from her ? why on earth would he do something like that ? hal : ask him yourself . paul : hello , barbara . here to cheer on my incarceration ? barbara : jennifer 's baby is alive ? how is this possible ? paul : figure it out , barbara . you of all people should know . barbara : craig . craig switched the babies ? paul : yes . barbara : and you knew this and you kept this from jennifer ? paul : yes . barbara : why would you do something like that , son ? paul : to protect her from craig . but i do n't think i 'll be able to do that anymore . hal : get him out of here . cop # 2 : let 's go . barbara : paul , i 'll handle this . i 'll get you out of this mess . [ scene_break ] susan : but what made you think emily was involved ? meg : i suspected paul . and then your key disappeared , and you said that emily was here at the hospital , and it just clicked . i thought paul would be with her . or at least , not far behind . i just wanted to do something . susan : so you told hal ? meg : i wanted to . i went to the records room , but hal and dusty were already there . i was n't much help . susan : at least you tried . jennifer has her baby back . meg : yeah , dusty 's making sure of it . susan : are you afraid that all this might bring jennifer and dusty back together ? meg : if it happens , it happens . susan : so , you could lose dusty just so jennifer could get her baby back . that 's pretty heroic in my book . that 's the opposite of my daughter . meg : susan , i really think you should talk to emily . i bet you 'll find out that what drove her to do this is a lot more than you think . it usually is . on the good side , and the bad . susan : still , you should be proud of yourself . [ scene_break ] dusty : you wo n't even hold him ? jennifer : no , i ca n't go through this again , dusty . i ca n't . i ca n't be disappointed again . dusty : jennifer , this is no game , this is for real . jennifer : how do you know that ? how many times did we think that ? how many times were we certain that my son was alive ? dusty : well , it turns out we were right . we were right the whole time . jennifer : no , meg tested my blood against that baby , and the test proved that that baby is not mine . dusty : someone messed up the test . i have proof right here . jennifer : proof ? how do you know that that proof is any more valid than the one before ? i ca n't do this again , dusty . dusty : jennifer -- jennifer : no , it 'll kill me ! dusty : jenny , listen to me . i am absolutely sure . i do n't want to go through this again , either , okay ? look . look what i got in my pocket . these are new blood tests . this is a new dna test . jennifer : how did you get a dna test ? dusty : i took a strand of your hair and i had it matched with the baby 's dna . it 's a positive match . jennifer : it was ? dusty : yeah . then your father took all the evidence to a judge and we got a court order . you have full custody of your son . look at me . look at me . there 's nothing to be afraid of . you see ? this is your son , jen . he 's all yours . take him in your arms . hold your son . hold your son , jen . it 's okay . [ baby fusses ] [ scene_break ] hal : your right thing nearly pushed my daughter over the edge . it landed her in a psychiatric institution with an addiction to crystal meth . and now , it 's going to cost you your son . emily : stop making this about my son ! this is personal ! this about you and me . hal : you 're damned right it 's personal ! you let me believe my grandson was dead . i had to stand by and watch my daughter slowly fall apart . i may hate paul 's guts , but i still care about you , emily . hell , i still love you ! and now , i have to watch you get the book thrown at you because of him ? ! and i do n't want that to happen . nobody does . not your mother , and certainly not your son . but it is going to happen , emily , unless you take the deal . for the love of god , do it . save yourself . emily : okay , i will . [ scene_break ] barbara : son ? paul : i 've said all i 'm going to say to you , barbara . barbara : i need to know why you did it . paul : i told you why i did it . barbara : that was n't good enough . i need to know how you could stand back and watch your sister disintegrate in front of your eyes , knowing all the while that you had the power to stop it . paul : the alternative was far worse . barbara : so you destroyed your sister because of some hypothetical threat you imagined from craig ? paul : we both know what craig is capable of . barbara : and now i know what you 're capable of . and it 's horrifying . paul : i had a good teacher . [ scene_break ] jennifer : i was so sure you were mine . yes . but everyone kept convincing me that you were n't , so i stopped believing . but here you are . [ baby cooing ] i 'm scared to start believing again . dusty : do n't be . do n't be . this is real . you have your baby in your arms now . jennifer : but the test results that meg took -- i do n't understand . how is it possible ? dusty : there was a mix - up , that 's all . jennifer : craig switched the babies ? dusty : well , obviously , he would have done anything to get his hands on your child . jennifer : do you think it 's possible that he switched the test results , too ? or had somebody do it for him ? dusty : probably not . i mean , there 's no evidence leading back to him . jennifer : how did this happen ? dusty : there was just a mix - up , jen . but you have your son , now . and nothing else matters . jennifer : no , this does matter , dusty . and what are n't you telling me ? [ scene_break ] lily : hey . keith : hey . there you are . i thought maybe you were going what , just let it go . luke : what ticks me off is that he got to her . and now , they 're going to get married . holden : luke , it 's not over track of her every move and he expects me to help him ? i ca n't believe mom is back with that guy . i mean , this whole thing is just so messed up . holden : all right , you know what , just let it go . luke : what ticks me off is that he got to her . and now , they 're going to get married . holden : luke , it 's not over until it 's over . luke : do you know something i do n't ? holden : let 's just say that i have a lot of faith in your mom . and that in the end , i think everything 's going to work out .

[ scene_break ] emily : back off , leave me alone . and i 'll face what i have to face with the courts . hal : what 's in that for me ? emily : what you seemed to always want when we were married , hal . the right to put your focus on absolutely everything except me . you see , i 'm making this personal , too . and i 'm calling your bluff to do it . hal : oh , you think we do n't have a case ? emily : well , if you did , you would n't need me to get paul , would you ? hal : i 've got paul on hospital property , his fingerprints on that keyboard . i can tell you to the second when he deleted those records . i do n't need you to nail paul . i 'm offering you a chance . emily : why ? i want you to let me go . i want you to accept that i 've made my choice . i 've done what i 've done , and i 'm ready to face the consequences . hal : nothing i 've said means anything to you ? emily : you mean something to me . but i 'm prepared to take the hit . i 've accepted my situation . now you need to accept that it is over between us . hal : emily -- emily : hal , i 'm not yours to save any more . please -- hal : once i walk out that door , there 's no turning back . emily : there was no turning back the minute i lied to jennifer . let go . let me go , please . hal : book her .
