The ultrasonic, piercing sound of his cell phone going off awakens Noah from his sleep. As he rolls over to get it, he remembers the night's events. All in a fog, he remembers flashes of making out with Carrie and having sex with her. Immediately regretting everything that happened, Noah slips his clothes on with shame and finds Chip. Chip laughs, saying that Noah and Carrie made quite the ruckus last night. Noah barks at Chip to just shut up and take him home. Noah asks where the girl went and Chip says she and some friends went to the ice skating rink. Happy to avoid an akward reunion with her, Noah hops in the truck with Chip. Later, Noah freezes with fear when Luke calls his name. Luke asks where he went and Noah makes up a lie. As Luke goes to his morning class at Oakdale U., he reminds Noah that he loves him and he's sorry to have hurt him. Afraid to conjure up any painful reminders, Noah quickly murmurs "love you too" and heads to take a shower.

While checking out at Fashions, Lisa notes how big Hallie has gotten. Lisa seems worried when Gwen asks how Casey is, so Gwen tells her to forget she even asked. Just as Gwen starts to leave, Casey brushes past Gwen on the sidewalk. Casey thanks Gwen for her and her husband ruining things for him and Sofie. Gwen tells Casey that Sofie just got out of a very painful relationship and may be weary of Casey at first, especially since they don't really know each other too well. Casey, determined to prove everyone wrong, marches to Lucinda's and after some begging, is able to get Sofie released from work early. The two arrive at Al's for a breakfast date, where Casey seems determined to find out all he can about Sofie. Sofie, still unsure about Casey, apologizes and asks if they can go. In the truck, tension builds between the two and Sofie finally lets her guard down. As Sofie starts to take off her bra and Casey starts to take off his pants, Casey freezes. Sofie tries to read some expression (fear, regret, happiness) from his face, but it's almost like his flesh has been replaced by some colorless wood, null of texture and color...expressionless, empty. Casey says he can't do this and takes Sofie back. Later, Casey stands outside on the roof and looks below, almost daring himself to jump, but in the end, knowing he can't ever possibly do it.

Lily thanks Carly for seeing her on such short notice as the two sit down at the Lakeview bar and order mamosas. The two briefly talk about their own opinions about Meg and the tragedy that's befallen her. Carly shifts the subject to Holden and Lily. Lily sighs and explains that everything is alot better, but she could do without her mother constantly pressuring Holden to persuade Lily into seeing Craig "how he really was". Lily explains that she only wants to remember the man Craig was. She doesn't know if she could survive knowing that the man she once knew and loved had turned into something so vile and despicable like others say he was. Carly, from experience, tells Lily that Craig was a very layered character. He could make you love him one minute, but another, and you were plotting a way to make him pay. Carly asserts that sometimes you have to accept people's flaws to truly appreciate their better side. She knows from experience, since Jack used to only see her as a lying, scheming b!tch. Lily realizes Carly's right, but doesn't know if she can ever accept, and thus forgive, the hurt and pain that Craig caused. Carly assures her she can. Lily asks about Jack and tells Carly that now is the time to tell Jack how she feels and possibly work things out. Carly, however, isn't too sure.

Bob, Kim, and Nancy all sit around the dinner time eating breakfast together for the first time in a long time. Nancy sees that Bob leaving Susan alone must have paid off, but Kim regretfully informs her that she's allowing Bob and Susan to keep each other company. Bob, stunned himself, asks Kim when she decided it was okay, especially after the scene she made with Susan at the Mona Lisa. Kim reasons that Bob is her husband, whom she loves deeply and would do anything for. And if "doing anything for" requires letting Bob seek comfort in his friend, then she's going to swallow her pride and accept it. She wants Bob to be able to accept the fact that Chris never meant to hurt anyone, and she longs for Bob to seek that acceptance with her. However, Susan has been a long time confidante and colleague of his for years. She trusts him enough to let him continue being friends with Susan. Later, after Bob goes for a walk, Nancy tells her that it was a nice try, but she should really work on her acting skills. She hasn't convinced anyone.

Out in the waiting room, Emma returns with muffins and bagles for Paul, Will, Barbara, Holden, and Jack. Paul asks what's taking so long for the nurses to finish with Meg. Emma reminds Paul that Meg has been through a very traumatic experience and needs all the rest she can get. She reminds him that his doting on Rosanna's blame for the accident caused Meg to get too worked up and the nurses are stabilizing her. Emma turns and sees Barbara, exhausted, fading to sleep. With a nudge, she thanks Barbara for her concern for Meg, but assures that Meg and Paul will be just fine. As Will escorts Barbara home like Emma asked, Jack notices that Barbara's treatment has sure slowed her down. Holden compliments Jack on his leg healing so quickly. Jack comments that it won't be too long before he'll move out of Carly's and look for a place of his own. Paul returns from seeing Meg and tells Emma it's her turn. Going outside for a fresh breath, Paul doesn't believe his eyes when he sees Rosanna crossing the parking lot, coming towards him. Paul barks at Rosanna to leave, she's caused enough pain. Meanwhile, inside, Emma notices Meg watching Paul and Rosanna argue through her window. A slight smirk comes across her face and Emma says, "Alright, missy. Tell me what it is. Tell me what you're up to now."
