Upon returning from Chicago, Carly decides to spend what's left of the day with the kids at the farm. There, Carly runs into Jack, who asks her if she gave any thought to their situation. Carly bets around the bush and smiles that she'll let him know. Later, Rosanna confronts Carly aboout her weak hopes for Cabot's safe return. Carly replies that this whole Caot search started with James; what's to say he's not just playing mind games again? Unable to accept Carly's opinion, Rosanna changes the subject to Jack. Carly hesitantly responds that she hasn't given it any thought, but gushes that seeing her former husband still tends to make her weak at the knees.

After speaking with Carly, Rosanna runs into Paul at Old Town. He's speechless when Rosanna clues him in about the results of her latest search effort. Paul offers to lend his finances for more search efforts, but Rosanna declines the offer. Later, Rosanna learns from Paul that Carrie is Jennifer's half-sister. "What a small world," Rosanna amusingly responds. She's upset by Paul's instanct hatred for the young woman and begs him to try and give Carrie a shot. Later, Paul stumbles in on Barbara showing Carrie a family album filled with pictures of Jennifer. Unsettled, he goes off on his mother and yells that Carrie isn't Jennifer.

Lucinda's baffled at what Emily is talking about. She tries to skirt around the issue, but her growing worry that Dusty blabbed to Emily only grows when Dusty calls. Lucinda lies and says that Emily isn't there. After hanging up, Lucinda writes a blank check and asks Emily how much she wants. Emily responds that she doesn't want Lucinda's filthy money; she wants to know why Lucinda is using her fiancee to hook up Lisa and Clark. Just in the nick of time, Dusty arrives and counters that he knew Lucinda was lying about Emily not being there. After they've returned home, Dusty spins a fib about Lucinda wanting to set up Lisa and Clark to help get an important account for Worldwide. Emily lets on that she buys it.

Realizing that they have no other options on the table, Luke and Jade resolve to confront Colin about his connection with The Taylors tomorrow night. Luke convinces a very reluctant Alison to help them with Colin one last time while Jade eagerly awaits the answers that she's wanted from her step-brother for a long time. She recalls the loveless home she had with the Taylors and hopes to know soon why they've always treated her like an annoying pest rather than a daughter.
