    Episode 274

    By Actor87,

    The next day, Katie tries to raise Lyla's spirits, bringing out family albums and laughing over old photos. Seeing Katie linger over a picture of her and Brad, Lyla encourages her daughter to fight for her marriage. It's no use, Katie replies sadly. Brad isn't interested. But what she will do, is pour everything into helping Lyla fight her cancer. All her children need her. Lyla gently tries to prepare Katie for the inevitability of her death. Katie stubbornly replies that her mother's never been a quitter, and that's all she's asking for now. For Lyla not to quit. Before Lyla can reply, they're interrupted. WOAK intern Jimmy drops by with flowers and chicken soup. Expressing admiration for Katie's devotion to her mother, he tells her the world would be a better place if more people were like her. Breaking down, Katie thanks him for being so kind to someone he barely knows. After Jimmy has left, Katie notices her mother's out of medicine and offers to go fetch some more from the pharmacy.

    Jade smiles when she sees her cousin come straggling through the door. Detecting his ruffled hair and dissheveled appearance, she claps at her own assumption that he and Kevin talked things over. Once Jade mentions that something must have happened for Luke to come home in the morning, Luke finally admits that he and Kevin had a good night. Nothing happened between them, despite Jade's apparant belief, but they did have a good talk. And in turn, Luke says, Kevin has offered to go easy on Jade from now on. Jade's touched that her cousin went to bat for her, but Luke claims that she proved her loyalty by refusing to let him wallow in self-pity and arranging the talk between himself and Kevin. Later, Luke receives a call from Lily. She tells him that the Taylors have moved and according to the neighbors, no one knows why or where to. Lily scoffs at the mention of asking Lucinda for help. It's Jade; she'll refuse. Luke objects, reminding his mother that she said the same thing about the money Lucinda gave for Jade's bail. After talking with Lucinda, who in turn asked her private investigator to do some digging, Luke calls Lily and gives his mother the new address for the Taylors.

    Carly tracks down Mac at the hockey rink and asks him to explain his interest in her kids. Mac tells her that part of being a coach is taking an interest in his players. Being friends, he doesn't understand what her problem is. The problem is, Carly asserts, that she can spot liars and manipulators. And the more she's around Mac, the more she senses something is "off" with him. Mac dismisses it completely, telling her she's listening to Brad rather than her own instincts. Carly accuses him of deflecting her question. He's gone out of his way to befriend her and the kids, but not anyone else in town. He's going out of his way to be her sons' new best friend. He finds excuses to come over: returning cell phones, scarves, and playing the new lonely guy in town. Carly tells him that if he's trying to use her kids to get close to her, he can stop right now, she's not interested in him. She's never going to be. Stalking off angrily, Carly cuts through a line of parked cars to cross the street. She hears Mac call out her name just seconds before seeing a car coming straight at her. Trying to jump out of the way, she slips on the icy road, hitting her head as the car races out of sight.

    Carrie gives Craig a helping hand.

    After meeting with Susan, Dusty goes alone to Donovan's. There, he finds Emily waiting on him. Dusty gets a call about a shipment and heads back to the dock to see it safely in, leaving his phone and Emily alone in the front. Emily flips open his phone and smiles when she sees that the wallpaper is an old photo of Dusty and herself. Realizing that he truly does still care for her, Susan's words start ringing in Emily's ears. When Dusty returns, Emily reports that she forgives him and wants a fresh start for the two of them. Dusty smirks that he'd like that very much.

    Luke comes through the door at his parent's house. He's startled to find Jade in the living room, working on her laptop. When he asks her what she's working on, she fumbles to close the computer and mutters that it's nothing, which leads to a brief argument. Later, Luke tells Lily about the incident and the two go through Jade's computer. Going through her history tab, they find that she's been researching Colin's murder case online. Their trust in Jade faltering, they decide to confront her.

    Swinging her purse over her arm, Carrie closes the front door at Fashion's and heads home. She's frightened when she sees two men fighting in Old Town until she notices Paul is one of them. Hollering at the top of her lungs, she sandwhiches herself between the two feuding men and calls their blows to a halt. Later, Paul frets to Barbara that once again, Carrie ruined his chance of getting back at Craig. Barbara scoffs, citing that the only thing Carrie did was stopping him from killing Craig.

    Craig returns to his mother's, blood stains all over his favorite tie. While Lyla babies him, Carrie introduces herself to Margo and Katie. Carrie assures them that Craig is fine, but she had doubts about his ability to drive, so she volunteered. After Carrie has gone, Margo confronts Craig. She lectures that he can't be off making an ass of himself while their mom is fighting for her life again. Livid over the fact that he missed the family meeting, Craig accuses them of intentionally leaving him out.

    Episodes 267-271

    By Actor87,

    At home, Carly lays into Parker for skipping school. Parker angrily spouts off that Jack hasn't answered any of his emails. Carly reminds him that Jack promised he would keep in contact as best he could. Rejecting that explanation, Parker admits he's had a "bad feeling" for quite a while now and he's sure Jack lied to him. The only reason Parker can come up with is that Jack's deserted them for good. Stunned, Carly assures her son Jack would never do that to his family. "Jack left you, you left us", Parker spits. "Never" seems to happen a lot in Oakdale, Parker rages before running up to his room. Shaken to the core, Carly anxiously leaves a message on Jack's voicemail---he needs to come home. Now.

    Lyla's furious when she learns that Craig forbid Michael from seeing her. Craig quickly corrects her. He told Michael that the only "seeing" he'll be doing with Lyla will be at the cancer center. Margo quickly interrupts the two before things get anymore heated. Lyla saunters into the bedroom to call off while Margo lays in to Craig for agitating...the thing he does best. Craig defends himself, citing that Michael might be Casey's brother, but he's also a doctor. He needs to remember his boundaries. Margo huffs that Craig is just plain stupid. First, he tries to take away Rosanna's son from her the second she gets him back. And now, he's forbidding their mother from seeing her own doctor. After Craig leaves, Margo checks in on Lyla before going home and finds her mother collapsed on the bathroom floor!

    Reading over a chart in the hallway, Michael smiles as he feels Susan's hands rubbing his back. He chuckles that whoever it is needs to watch out; his girlfriend's a master in karate. Susan smiles and asks what he has planned for Valentine's Day. Michael sighs that he has to work that day, but he has an early present in store for her that he promises she'll like alot. Later in the week, Susan stumbles through the woods, blindfolded and giggling as Michael directs her to their destination. Once inside, Michael unties her blindfold and presents her with their very own winter retreat in the hills of Colorado. They quickly make love in the cabin and sit down to a five star meal prepared for them. Susan gushes that she's glad they're finally to themselves. Just then, Michael's beeper goes off. He excuses himself and returns, apologizing that they have to cut their trip short. Lyla has collapsed and he's afraid she's making a turn for the worse. Although Susan is worried, inwardly she resents Lyla for ruining such a romantic getaway.

    Carrie comforts Will about the custody hearing. Hoping compliments will help, she gushes how well he cleans up. Will angrily huffs that he doesn't even know Gwen anymore. The old Gwen would've kicked her mom to the curb a long time ago. Instead, she's so deadset in believing her mother. She must not know that Will would never do anything that might hurt Hallie. Carrie reminds Will that she had an idea not too long ago that might help his chances in court. She suggests that she pose as a character witness for Will. Straightening his tie, Will shoots down the idea and asks her to just be there for him.

    At the custody hearing, Carly tells Gwen she doesn't even know why her little sister insisted she come. It's just for moral support, Gwen assures her. Carly assumed Iris would be there for that. Noting Carly's reluctance, Gwen asks if there's another reason Carly doesn't want to be here. Carly takes a deep breath and admits she thinks Gwen's making a mistake trying to take Hallie away from Will. Hallie should be their priority, and she'll be the one to lose no matter who "wins". Plus, Will's been through enough with his sister and dad dying and Barbara and Paul are both loose cannons, Carly sighs. Taking away the only constant in Will's life, Hallie, will drive him over the edge. Carly advises Gwen to call off the hearing and sit down with Will and hash out something they can both live with. They have to learn to work together. Even if they're not married, they're still Hallie's parents. Gwen replies that Will should've thought it all through before he endangered Hallie's life by his careless drinking. Iris, coming around the corner, inches back as she hears the last part. Suddenly, Barbara emerges in a spectacle of disgust and hisses that for once in her life, Gwen should do what's right and call off the hearing. She's cut short, though, when the judge enters and takes his seat.

    Margo desperately thanks Michael for seeing Lyla. She quickly apologizes for interrupting something when she sees both Michael and Susan dressed up. After a while, Katie blasts through the doors. In tears, she demands to see her mother. Lyla tries to calm her daughters down and rolls her eyes when Craig comes waltzing in. He admits that he was a bit harsh on her, but he only wants what's best for her. Michael asks all three of them to leave so he can run some tests. With her children out of the room, Lyla demands Michael be honest with her. The prognosis isn't very good, is it? Michael quips that they won't know until the tests come back. Lyla stops him and demands he be candid with her. Putting his notes aside, Michael sadly admits that he thinks the cancer is spreading. Choking back tears, Lyla asks how long she has. Michael shrugs. Three months, maybe four if Craig wasn't around.

    The court is called into session and both cases are made. Iris squirms in her seat as their attorney alleges Will drank excessively in the presence of Hallie. Tom stands and recants that his client did no such thing. Instead, he points the finger at Iris, recalling her various brushes with the law make her more of an endangerment to the infant. During the recess, Will tries to approach Gwen, but she sends Iris to ward him off. Carrie tries to assure Will that the court will find in his favor. Tom made a very good argument. Across the way, Paul and Rosanna enter. Paul assures Will that everything will work out fine, but Will gives him the cold shoulder. Barbara tries to referee between her two sons, demanding they keep things civil. Will grumbles that Paul's only hear for Rosanna, not him. Meanwhile, Rosanna tells Carly that while she loves both Will and Gwen evenly, she doesn't think Will is capable enough to raise a child without the help of Barbara. And Barbara isn't exactly the best parent in the world. Carly asks her sister how she's handling all this, mentioning that it must be hard watching and knowing her turn in court (over custody of Cabot) is only a little while away. Rosanna huffs that she isn't looking forward to the trial, but she's confident she'll get custody.

    Lucinda knocks back a cocktail at Mona Lisa as Lily and Holden come through the door. She starts to make her exit until Lily stops her. She admits that she's been mad for a while now. She's hurt that Lucinda kept something so huge from her, but she adds, Lucinda probably had a good reason why she kept it hid for so long. Lucinda admits that she and Clark had a very checkered past. She was accused of killing his father in a freak accident. Clark covered for her and the marriage was annulled. Lily thanks Lucinda for finally being honest with her. When the two get to the subject of Jade, tension is still present, but Lily knows that Jade is innocent. Across town, Luke learns from a friend that Noah left Oakdale. Visibly hurt that his ex never said goodbye, Luke admits to Jade that when it comes to him and Noah, he'll always wonder "What if".

    The judge calls court back in session and rules that although Will's drinking might have endangered the child, Iris's criminal record also proves troublesome. He rules that the couple share custody of Hallie, with Gwen retaining legal custody over Hallie. He also rules that Will enroll in an alcohol treament class or he'll lose all visitation. With the swing of his gavel, he lifts the restraining order against Will and warns Iris that he'll be watching her closely.

    Jade meets Lily for lunch and cries that she wishes she could remember what happened the night of Colin's murder. Lily pleads Jade to go easy on herself. After lunch, Lily learns that charges against Luke have been dropped, but Jade's hearing is only weeks away. Lily muses to Luke that she thinks meeting with the Taylors might help them learn more about Colin and possibly give them enough information to track down the real murderer, thus clearing Jade of all charges. Luke huffs that he doesn't think Jade will approve, but Lily reasons that they just won't tell her. At the farm, Holden notices Emma crying and she reveals that Clark has left town for good. She grumbles that she blames Lucinda for him leaving and hisses that Lucinda Walsh hasn't seen the last of her.

    At Al's, Mac and Parker wait for Carly to return from the hearing. Mac goes to the counter to order milkshakes as Iris waltzes in. Eyeing the way his butt looks in his jeans, she coyly takes a seat at the counter and starts to flirt. Carly barrels into the diner, letting Mac gracefully excuse himself. Iris saunters over, snidely congratulating Carly on trapping another man so quickly. "Shut the hell up and go stumble into the gutter where you belong," Carly grumbles. Iris grabs Mac's arm and warns him her former "stepdaughter" will only use him to make her ex-husband jealous and then dump him. Mac tells her he's not interested in Carly. He's just her son's hockey coach.

    Dusty meets with Emily at the Lakeview for dinner and asks her if the wedding is back on. Things have been going good between them, he asserts, and he thinks that they'll eventually make it through this rough patch. Emily stills holds a grudge with Dusty for his drunken pass at her sister, but admits that she feels something special with him she hasn't felt in a long time. Dusty goes to make a phone call and Emily's approached by one of her former clients. He mistakes her for still being in the prostitution business and when she quietly turns him down, he takes her refusal as playfulness. Dusty returns and sees the man with Emily. He punches the man when he calls Emily a whore for turning him down. Later, Emily cries to Dusty that he's dumb for falling for a hooker like she once was. Dusty assures her that everyone has regrets, but he doesn't want one of his to be that he never spent the rest of his life with her.

    Despite Barbara's urging that he stay with her for a while, Will goes home with Carrie. He claims the couch and Carrie goes to get some extra covers. He notices a small photo tucked in the cushion, obviously having fallen from her purse. He picks up the photo and immediately notices the infant in the photo as Cabot. Once Carrie returns to the room, he calls her out and asks why she has a photo of Cabot. Carrie, confused herself, asks who Cabot is before snatching the photo and putting it back in her wallet. Will tells her that Cabot is Paul's girlfriend Rosanna's adopted son. He adds that Cabot is also Carrie's boss Craig's adopted son from when he and Rosanna were married. Carrie's heart drops into her throat and she quickly excuses herself. She later returns and lies that she and Rosanna collided into one another and dropped both their purses. The photo must have swapped hands when they were picking up the contents of their purses. Later, Will recalls that Rosanna arrive towards the end of the hearing and never saw Carrie. He makes a call and leaves Paul a voicemail that he has something important to tell him. Meanwhile, Carrie hides the photo in the Bible by her nightstand and prays that Will's questioning is over with. She sits back, still in shock. It can't be, she says. Her son Jacob is alive and in Oakdale!

    EPISODE 100!!!

    By Actor87,

    It took a while, but we finally made it! Thanks to all my loyal readers (members or commenters or not) for entrusting me to tell you stories from my side of the "world". It means alot to me.


    Episode co-written by my good friend and better internet half, P.J.



    WHO: The denizens of Oakdale, Illinois
    WHERE: The Grand Opening of the Oakdale Memorial Cancer Center
    WHAT: A black-tie affair
    WHEN: A quiet June night, Episode 100


    Luke and Carrie arrive separately. When they meet up, Carrie admits surprise at the invitation---she got the impression he didn't like her. Luke makes an excuse---Noah will be occupied with WW business most of the night, and Noah suggested they get to know one another. Luke tries to get her to open up a little, mentioning he found out that she works with Carly. Smoothly, Carrie admits working at WOAK, but sulls up when Luke asks what brought her to Oakdale.

    As Will ushers Barbara into the room, tears of joy run from her face when she sees a plaque on the wall, informing all who enter that this site is dedicated to Jennifer and Hal. Will himself chokes up, but holds his tears in when he sees Gwen approaching. Will can sense the tension and before asking for a private moment with his wife, he warns Barbara not to strain her voice too much. The doctor told her today that she can start talking again, but don't push it. Barbara smiles empathatically, assuring her son she won't. As she saunters over to the table where she's sitting, she catches sight of Carly and Wagner entering. Wagner introduces himself, but gets cut short by a business call. Barbara thanks Carly for coming and Carly retorts that she wouldn't have missed this for the world. Kim approaches and tells Barbara that they'll be calling her up to give a very brief speech, introducing Michael.
    As Barbara begins to take her leave, Carrie accidentally spills her punch, inadvertently splashing Barbara with some. Luke tries to calm the situation, seeing how distraught both women are about the incident. Carrie apologizes, as Barbara fumes that Carrie should watch where she's going. In a huff, Barbara storms off. Luke sees tears swelling in Carrie's eyes and promises that she did nothing wrong. Accidents happen. Carrie lightly taps her growing bump and shamefully smirks that he can say that again. Luke, however, is too busy spying on a newly arrived Noah and Sherry to notice Carrie's growing bump or hear her words. Carrie urges Luke to go make himself known, just as Lucinda comes behind him and tells him that making himself known would be the worst possible mistake he could make.

    As Luke, Carrie, and Lucinda watch on, Noah pulls out a chair for Sherry who keeps blabbing about her relatives in Minnesota. Jokingly, Noah states that he doesn't think that they've gotten to "meet the parents" status yet. Sherry giggles, pulling Noah into an impromptu kiss. She turns around and coldly eyeballs Luke, reporting to Noah that someone sure knows how to stare. When Noah looks up, he sees Luke walking away from the party. He excuses himself and tells Sherry that he has to go check on something. Sherry smirks as she watches Noah walk away.

    Will and Gwen stand beside a splendid ice sculpture encasing the new logo of the cancer center. Will asks Gwen what prompted her to come. Gwen explains that she left Hallie with a sitter for the night and thought that a nice night to themselves would be good for a change. Will coldly asks if the babysitter has short brown hair, a grating New Jersey accent, and a criminal record that keeps on talking. Gwen scoots back, shocked at the acidity of her husband's voice. Will exclaims that he needs to leave before he blows his cool, leaving a flustered Gwen behind. Carly approaches and asks what that was all about. Gwen reveals that she's been taking Hallie to see Iris behind Will's back and she thinks he knows. Carly suggests that lies are no good for a marriage, citing personal experience. If Gwen wants to keep Will, Gwen needs to tell all.

    Outside, Noah chases after Luke and admits that although he kissed Sherry, it meant nothing. Luke denies he's upset about the kiss; he just hates feeling like he's thirteen again and sneaking around. Noah explains that it'll all be over soon, which makes Luke roll his eyes in contempt. Noah returns to the table and realizes the next step he needs to take in order to uncover Sherry as the mole. He tells Sherry that Worldwide is planning on securing a million dollar account tonight with UniverseOne after Lucinda speaks with the vice president. After a moment or two of small talk, Sherry excuses herself to the ladies room and rounds the corner. Flipping out her cell phone, she sends a message to someone telling them to meet her outside on the terrace.

    Carly smiles as she watches Wagner approaching. Wagner apologizes and says that he has some urgent matters that need to be taken care of back at his office. Carly's smile turns upside down and she excuses him with a peck on the cheek, thanking him for bringing her. Jack approaches as Wagner walks away and jokes that Carly must have scared Wagner off by telling him her ex-husband was here. Irritated, Carly hisses that Wagner left for business and exclaims that she didn't think Jack would make it tonight since he's always hated these formal events. Reaching back for two glasses of champagne, Jack chuckles that Emma pushed him to attend. He denies he "hates" these events---as long as the evening ends on a good note. "Your bribes were the best", he whispers in her ear. Carly flushes red, remembering nights when they had stumbled into the house and made love after parties like these. Dry-mouthed, Carly shoves the glass back into his hand and hastily retreats.

    Running onto the terrace, she brushes right past Lily. Lily stops her and asks where she's off to in such a hurry. Carly musters courage and snaps that she knew she should have never come tonight. Lily invites her good friend to sit down and tells her that Holden couldn't attend tonight either. Carly hypothetically asks Lily why Jack always acts like her husband. He's constantly coming over unannounced, picking up the kids whenever the need bites him, and dishing out advice to her left and right. Lily laughs and tells her that Jack is just doing what he's always known. Being a policeman, he's taught to protect people. And with Carly, the rule goes above and beyond since he's known her and even fathered children with her. Carly thanks Lily, but explains that she still needs a breath of fresh air.

    Will approaches the doors of Metro, eyeing his watch and recalling the venom that he just spewed to his wife. He's now more confident than ever that this fake robbery will make Gwen see Iris for what she truly is...a bloodsucking leech that will never change. Stan cowers behind some bushes and Will invotes him over. "Ya got the blueprints", Stan asks. Will nods yes and hands them over, reminding him that by the end of the week, he wants both him and his no-good sidekick as far from Oakdale as possible. He promises that the money will be deposited in an offshore account as soon as they're out of sight. Stan shakes his hand and heads back home to fill Iris in on his great plans for robbing Metro.

    Luke walks back in, finally content with Noah's promise that all this sneaking around will be over soon. After searching around, he can't find Carrie and reasons that she must have gone to the ladies' room. Meanwhile, Carrie finds Barbara backstage, prepping for her brief introduction of Michael. Carrie cautiously approaches Barbara and again apologizes. But she assures the accident was just that---an accident, not a deliberate act on anyone's part. Impressed with the girl's forthrightness, Barbara accepts the gesture and declines an offer to pay for the dry cleaning. Shyly, Carrie admits to admiring Barbara's designs and career through the years. Expecting to be hit up for advice, Barbara starts to excuse herself, but Carrie insists she has to return to her date, and leaves. Luke hides as he watches Carrie stop behind a large group of potted palms, pulls out her cell phone and call someone. He tries to get closer, but Jack pulls him out of hiding and asks jokingly if Luke's hiding from his grandmother. Jack explains that she's probably giving some potential client an earful somewhere in the building.

    Casey grimaces as Gabe pulls Sophie away for publicity photos. When she returns, she excitedly announces Gabe booked her a photo shoot in Spain. When Casey suggests going with her, she cautions that it's a work trip and that Gabe will be there. Casey storms off, accusing Sophie of being blind to Gabe's true intentions. Margo pulls Sophie aside and asks for an explanation. Sophie attributes Casey's reaction to jealousy, and feeling like a prisoner in his parents' house. Taking offense, Margo barks that she needs to stop selfishly playing two men against each other. Casey doesn't deserve to be hurt again after losing Maddie. His heart still hasn't completely healed. Sophie spits back that it's time Margo let Casey live his own life, suggesting that Margo only issued her motherly warning because she'd rather see Casey with Maddie than her.

    As Paul watches Gabe whore himself to the media, Rosanna approaches. After she realizes that it's Paul she's approaching, she makes a last minute turn toward the exit. Paul, much too quick, has been watching Rosanna, too. He rushes after her and grabs her by the arm. Rosanna slings her arm free and threatens to have security called at the drop of a hat. Paul chuckles that this isn't her shindig, but Rosanna defends herself, throwing her board member status at Paul. He quickly retreats and tells Rosanna that if she wants to play hardball, he's willing to take anything she dishes out for a second chance. Fuming, Rosanna splashes her drink in his face and storms out.

    Bob and Susan circulate at the party, mingling and accepting congratulations on the cancer center. Kim surprises them both by praising Susan's efforts in getting the center up and running. She even suggests doing a feature for Oakdale Now. Later, Susan privately thanks Kim for putting up a good front in public. Kim tells her it's not an act...she hopes this will ultimately save Barbara's life, and she'd thank anyone who made that possible. As Bob and Susan pose for pictures, Susan makes light of walking in on Michael as he was getting ready. Bob huffs that the last thing Susan needs in her life is an accident like Michael. Kim overhears and assumes Bob's jealous of Susan's obvious attraction to the new doctor in town.

    Alison and Aaron arrive almost at the same time as Emily and Dusty. Both couples seem to be hesitant of approaching the other until Susan walks up, cheerfully annoucing her excitement in seeing them. Susan sees that Dusty and Emily have come together and incorrectly assumes they're back together. Dusty chuckles that he and Emily have decided to cover the opening together; that's all. Aaron sees Kevin sitting all by himself and excuses himself. Aaron takes a seat and observes that he thought Kevin had moved. Kevin sighs that he returned to Oakdale because of his parents, but he was making the wrong assumptions when he thought he and Luke could just pick up where they left off. Aaron recalls his little brother having a crush on Kevin and judging from Kevin's lackluster attitude and harsh Noah-hate that he'd rather be more than friends with Luke. Kevin fills in the blanks for Aaron, recalling that after he left Oakdale, he came to terms with his feelings for Luke. He pushed him away because he felt like what he was doing was wrong. But now that Kevin's come out to his parents, all he has left to do is come out to Luke. Aaron raises his eyebrow and pats Kevin empathatically on the back.

    Carly sees Brad from across the way and sneaks up behind him, asking where that tramp of a girlfriend of his is. Brad reminds Carly that she shouldn't resort to name calling. Carly remembers the hell that Katie put her family through and openly wishes nothing but misery for the bimbo homewrecker. Brad argues that Katie's different now. Seeing that Brad truly cares for her, Carly backs off and apologizes for being so cruel. Brad jokes that since Vienna and Henry have gone to secure advertisers for ViCE cosmetics, he was the last resort when Katie approached him for a date. When Brad reveals that he's been thinking of popping the question to Katie, Carly urges him to go for it. Brad snickers and wonders aloud if Carly just wants them to get married so she won't have to worry about Katie returning to Jack. Carly hisses that she and Jack are through, but voices her pleasure in wanting to never have to gag again at the sight of Jack and Katie together. Brad laughs.

    Katie tries to reassure Michael, who's nervously messing up the opening line of his prepared remarks. Katie tries to coach him, helpfully suggesting he imagine all the people in their underwear. Michael tries to laugh, but he admits he's always feared speaking in front of large groups, and he expects a disaster. After Barbara introduces "the man who made it all possible, the man who's saved my life", Michael takes the stage. He glimpses into the crowd past all the applauding hands and sees Doris sneering at him from the corner. He begins his speech, cutting it down to the essentials. Before he can finish, though, Doris barrels through the crowd. Loudly denouncing him as a cheating sonofabitch and slapping divorce papers into Michael's chest, she continues that he should be ashamed of himself for leaving her destitute, when he's off committing adultery. Katie's shocked and confused at the accusations. Michael roughly grabs Doris' arm and drags her away as Susan takes the stage and tries to calm the blabbering audience. Katie follows her uncle, and hears him arguing with Doris. She makes her presence known, only to discover that the woman her uncle is fighting with is his estranged wife. Furiously, Doris lunges at Katie, blaming her for bonking her husband while he' still married. Stunned, Katie returns to the party, and gets another surprise when she sees Lyla, freshly returned from visiting Cricket. Katie starts to fill her in, but Lyla stops her saying she saw it herself. Katie's puzzled when Lyla says she's not surprised by the allegations--at all.

    At Lily and Holden's, a dark figure scoots through the yard undetected. A pull of the doorknob fails and the figure retreats to a bedroom window. After finally prying it open, the figure leaps in, startling the girls from their quite slumber. A hand tightly fumbles to cover Faith's mouth as she screams for help. The lights go on and Holden emerges with a baseball bat, but the true surprise comes when the girls look up and find their cousin Jade standing in the middle of their room.

    Meanwhile, Barbara comes down from the podium and meets Carrie at the bottom of the stage. Carrie compliments her on her eloquent words and reveals that she even mustered a tear or two herself while Barbara was speaking. Barbara thanks her and heads back to her table. Suffering from a dizzy spell, she grasps at Carrie's arm to steady herself. Barbara snaps that she's fine but Carrie insists that she take a seat. Paul sees his mother in distress and runs to help her. Paul suggests they go home and Barbara nods, accepting her son's invitation to rest. Suddenly, the lights go out.

    Dusty goes to the Lakeview in search of Lisa, but runs into Emily instead. Emily starts bombarding him with wedding questions. Putting her off for the minute, Dusty calls Lisa's attention from afar and runs to invite her to dinner with himself to discuss possible partnership in Donovan's. Lisa agrees and after eavesdropping, Emily takes it upon herself to tag along on the dinner date.

    As Katie packs for her business trip, she tells Lyla that she hopes being away from Brad will give her a chance to figure out how she's going to tell him she's not really pregnant. Katie recalls what Casey told her and cries that he's right; even when he heart is in the right place, she still manages to run off the people most important in her life. Lyla takes her head into her shoulder and brushes her head, reminding her that they still have each other.

    Rosanna returns home quite defeated and runs into Carly, who vaguely asks her to give up the search. Rosanna hisses that she won't give up until she finds her son. Later, Carly sits down on the plane and rolls her eyes when she sees Katie sit beside her, but Katie never sees her.

    Across town, Carrie thanks Barbara for letting her move back in and asks if she thinks Paul will ever get used to the idea of them being close.

Barbara warns her son to tread softly; Iris might have an ulterior motive.

    Episodes 219-221: Part I

    By Actor87,

    At Emma's, Jack explains to his aunt that he's going to visit Delores who has some "emergency". Brad thinks it's odd she didn't mention it when he talked to her just the other day. Jack scoffs that she's probably upset he's making her a grandmother again.

    In the kitchen, Carly corners Katie and tries pinning her down on specifics---when she's due, how far along she is. Katie worriedly fidgets, asking Carly how she knows. Carly coyly replies she just heard it through the grapevine. Katie counters that she hasn't even had her first appointment, and doesn't have a firm due date yet. But Carly will be the first to know, Katie hesitantly smirks. Katie wonders out loud why Carly's interested in the first place; they're hardly friends.

    Feigning offense, Carly reminds her how they became friends in Montana after Sage's birth. Maybe this baby could repair the friendship. It could even bring Jack and Brad closer, since Brad is excited about being a father, and Jack would love being an uncle. Katie reddens, seeing how the lie is already spiraling out of her control.

    Outside, Lily protests with Jade over the phone. She pleads for her niece to come eat with her family. Jade insists that she has to work and plus, being around all the Snyders always makes her head spin. Almost all of them either hate her or have made their own judgment of her. Finally, Lily relents and tells Jade to come by later so they can talk more about Colin. She turns around and enters the house, only for Emma to ask where Luke and Kevin are.

    Before Carly can dig any further, Jack interrupts. Katie scurries off, leaving them alone. Seeing the glimmer in her eyes, Jack asks Carly what she's up to with Katie. Carly tells him it's not important. She then asks if he can put off visiting his mother. It won't seem like Thanksgiving for the kids if he's not there. Jack can't cancel his plans, but he was hoping to hear she'd miss him too. Disappointed when Carly stands there mute, he heads up the back stairs to pack. While he's distracted, Carly surprises him with a kiss on the cheek, wishes him a safe flight, and urges him to hurry back to Oakdale.

    On his way down, Jack thanks Emma for understanding. Jack glares down Clark before finally walking out. When the kids arrive, Carly informs them that Jack had to go out of town for a little while. Sage whines that they're never going to be a family again. Carly kisses her on the cheek and assures her that they'll always have each other, no matter what.

    After settling the kids, Carly calls Rosanna and invites her sister over for some turkey and dressing. Rosanna's much too depressed to be thinking about food; she needs to find her son, she huffs. Carly insists she at least get a to-go plate. After a while, Rosanna shows up and is surprised that Jack isn't there. Carly mutters that he went to see Delores, but should be back soon. Carly apologizes for telling Rosanna she should give up on the search for Cabot. She just knows how James likes playing mind games with her and even from the grave, she can see him giving Rosanna false hope about Cabot being out there somewhere just for a jolly laugh. Rosanna admits that she had her doubts, too, but her maternal instincts have kicked into overdrive lately. She knows she's getting close. Later, Rosanna meets with Neil and informs him that she'd like to try and get into contact with the Kathy woman from Arizona. She knows the woman knows more than she's letting on; she knows she is.

    Across town, Aaron and Alison scurry off to Emma's, neglecting to see Luke and Kevin pulling up to Java behind them as they leave. Inside, Jade thanks them for coming and tells them that Colin should be here any moment. Luke, looking for the fake diamond he picked up from Faith's room, can't find it anywhere and soon panics. The plan will never work now, he grimaces.

    It's soon time to set the table for dinner at the Snyders. All gather around and say grace before finally digging into the feast set before them. The screen door creaks and Sage springs up, hoping it's her dad. Instead, a smooth voice smiles, "Am I too late for the cutting of the Hubbard squash?" Everyone's floored to look and see Meg standing before them.

    Mac rushes out into the street, and unable to get a response from Carly, calls 911. Assured an ambulance is in route, he makes a second call, ending it quickly when Carly's eyes flutter open. As Carly's wheeled into the emergency room, Bob steps into the partition and examines her, and she finally starts regaining consciousness. Passing routine questions, she has no recall the accident. Diagnosing a concussion, along with other scrapes and bruises, Bob orders a CT scan, but reassures her it's only precaution. Panicking about how her kids will hear the news, Carly asks to have the hospital call Rosanna for her. Bob tells her "her friend" was taking care of that. Confused, Carly asks him who he means. Bob didn't catch the man's name, but he came with her in the ambulance and has been pestering the nurses for updates.

    Blanche Taylor sits quietly reading her evening paper when a knock comes at the door. She stutters when she sees Lily and Holden on the other end. Still gawking at the Snyders' presence, she offers them a place to sit while she fixes them some tea. Holden shakes his head in refusal for a cop while Lily tries to hold her emotions in, thinking of the heartbreak this whole ordeal has brought to her family. Lily starts off first, apologizing for the loss of their son. Edward thought so highly of him, Blanche gushes. It's all hit him so hard. She dare not mention Colin around him or he leaves the room. When Holden asks why they moved and gave no one a forwarding address, Mrs. Taylor shrugs it off as snotty neighborhood bullying that made them leave so quickly. Lily explains that she and Holden have travelled a ways because they're hoping they might have a lead about the ongoing murder investigation. Stirring her tea in a swift motion now, Mrs. Taylor offers them nothing. She knows they're only hear to clear Jade's name. She reports that she's kept up with the investigation behind Edward's back; she knows Jade was arrested with the murder weapon. Holden holds his wife back as Lily pleads with Blanche to help them exonerate Jade's name. Just then, Edward Taylor blasts through the door and huffs that they will do nothing of the sort. Now is a good time to be leaving, he grunts.

    In the waiting room, Mac describes the hit and run car to an officer...a late model silver coupe, possibly a Honda Accord or Civic. While he didn't catch a license plate, he has a suspect, the Chief of Detective's sister---Brad Snyder's wife. When the officer questions that assumption, Mac fills him in on the bad blood and unsolved vandalism of Carly's vehicle a few weeks ago. Margo walks in and asks her officer for a preliminary report--she's anxious to get an APB out immediately on the hit-and-run car. Mac introduces himself, then blitzes her with questions, wondering if she'll bother to check out her sister's whereabouts. Calmly and firmly, Margo assures him she'll investigate anywhere the evidence leads. Unconvinced, Mac stalks off. Meanwhile, Margo blanches at the description of the car. Katie owns a 2006 silver Honda Civic.

    Under his breath, Michael curses the hospital's night staff. They're much too understaffed, he sighs. Around the corner, Susan slips out and surprises her boyfriend as he prepares to go on break. She begs him to take his break right away; she has a surprise for him. Darting into an unoccupied exam room, Susan locks the door behind them before unbuttoning her coat to reveal the sexy lingerie that she just got. Michael chuckles, running his fingers through her hair and playfully throwing her on the bed. As soon as both of them are naked, they start to make love. Their love is interrupted when Michael gets a page. Although Susan tells him to ignore it, Michael checks and sees that an important phone call has come through. Hurt, Susan tells him to take the call; she'll be waiting back home. Later, Michael traces the door frame and grabs the spare. Quietly, he unlocks the door and glides in, hoping Susan will ignore the time and follow through with her promise of a continuation of their interrupted lovemaking. Instead, he finds Susan, sound asleep in her bed. He kisses her cheek and calmly whispers that he hopes that one day, their busy schedules will allow them the time they need together.

    Outside , Will knocks repeatedly until Carrie finally answers her door. Will asks her what took her so long and Carrie excuses the dirty apartment. She was just cleaning. He notices the house is spotless and chuckles that she didn't waste any elbow grease; the place is spotless. Carrie smiles that when she has a lot on her mind, she cleans. Will vaguely mentions the picture he found of Cabot, prompting Carrie to become agitated very quickly. Later, Will tells Paul that whether he likes it or not, they have to tell Rosanna about Carrie's photo of Cabot. Paul asks how Will is holding up since the trial. Wiping his brow, Will admits that he's trying to keep his mind busy and not think about it. Paul smiles as he reveals that Cabot has a friend with him in the play pen: Hallie. According to Paul, Gwen has allowed Hallie to spend the night with Rosanna, under strict orders that Will not see her until his scheduled (supervised) visit next month. "I've never been one to follow the rules, though", Paul smirks. But since Rosanna's with Carly at the hospital and he needs an extra hand caring for two babies, he couldn't think of a better helper than Hallie's own father. Will hugs Paul, surprising the older brother. Holding back tears of joy as he holds his daughter for the first time in a long time, Will thinks to himself that maybe his brother isn't as cold hearted and evil as he thought.

    Rosanna appears just as Carly's being wheeled down from x-ray. As they wait for a diagnosis, Rosanna assures her the kids are with Emma. Rosanna asks if she remembers anything about the accident. Carly has a flash of arguing with Mac, just as he interrupts and asks if he can wait with them. Before Carly can answer, Rosanna introduces herself and thanks him for calling her. Carly struggles to recall what they were arguing about, but comes up blank. Bob enters and informs them Carly has a concussion, but can be discharged providing there's adult supervision. Mac offers to take her home and stay with her for the night. Rosanna steps in and thanks him, but she's already made arrangements to stay at Milltown with Carly and the kids as long as she's needed. Mac doesn't press, but insists on helping them to Rosanna's car and tells them to call if there's anything they need. Once they drive off, Mac dials a number and leaves a voicemail. The situation has gotten out of hand. It's time for a new plan.

    Holden and Lily can feel the tension mounting in the Taylor household, prompting them to take a graceful but hasty exit. As they leave, Holden spies his wife looking through the passenger side window of Mr. Taylor's car. She knows they're hiding something, Lily hisses. Holden finally gets his wife in the car, writing off the long trip as a waste of time and energy. Jade will just have to face her crimes, Holden mutters. Lily's eyes bug out and she rips her husband a new one for insinuating Jade is guilty of Colin's murder. Holden denies he meant it like that, but he thinks it's pretty apparent that they won't be getting any help from the Taylors. Later, Lily convinces Holden to make another stop by the Taylors' old neighborhood. One neighbor states that he recalls the Taylors leaving overnight. Lily calls Luke with an update and tells him that they're headed home after getting nowhere with Jade's adoptive parents. As they make their way back home down the dark road, a car zooms up behind them. Frantically, Holden yells for Lily to duck as a gunshot rings out.

    Lily learns what Craig's been up to.

    Mac nearly gets run over by Parker, JJ and Sage as they rush out the door to the bus. Laughing, Carly offers him a cup of coffee while she waits for the cab to take her to work; her car is still in the shop. When Mac asks if the cops have any suspects yet, Carly admits she hasn't heard anything from them yet, and she doesn't really expect to. Vandalism is a low-priority, and besides, if it's who she thinks it is, the Chief of Detectives is sure to bury it. Mac asks why and Carly admits she suspects Jack's ex-wife, the Chief of Detective's sister, smashed in her headlights. And Margo will never let Katie get nailed for it. Mac asks why Carly's so sure it's Katie. Carly sighs that not only did she bust up Katie's marriage to Jack, but now, Katie now blames her for the end of her marriage to Brad.

    Rosanna rolls over and finds Paul has already left the bed. Just as she starts to pull the covers back, Paul comes in toting a delicious breakfast on a tray. Rosanna gushes that she was always a sucker for breakfast in bed, preparing herself for the eggs and bacon steaming in front of her. Paul admits that he never thought this day would come. Rosanna grins and recalls how determined Paul has been to regain her trust. She sighs that they have surely had their ups and downs, but hopefully, now things can only go up from here. Later, Paul informs Barbara of his reunion with Rosanna. Barbara's a bit sidetracked, though, trying to pack Carrie's stuff. Paul scoffs that he can't believe that it took this long for his mother to come to her senses and fire the little leech. Barbara recants that Carrie asked her to bring over some stuff to her new apartment...that's all. No firing has happened. When Paul starts griping even more, Barbara hisses that she's had enough of Paul's attitude towards Carrie. She happens to be very fond of Carrie and she's going to do what she can to get back into Carrie's good graces soon enough...whether Paul likes it or not. Across town, Barbara meets with Carrie at her new apartment and apologizes for making Carrie feel like she had to move out; she just simply wants the best for her. Carrie grabs the box and hurriedly tells Barbara she'll be by to clean out her desk at a later time. Shocked, Barbara asks her if she's quitting and Carrie replies yes before closing the door.

    Brad enters the office he shares with Katie, suppressing irritation at finding her already there. Katie makes a "peace offering", a dozen cinnamon-sugared donut holes, his favorite morning snack. Once he's assured she did nothing to them, he starts scarfing them down. Katie apologizes for acting so crazy lately, blaming all the stress on the divorce and recently learning Lyla's cancer has returned. Brad makes a jab, asking if this sudden return of cancer is just another lie, but once he realizes it isn't, he quickly retreats. Katie continues that she knows it's her fault the marriage ended. Too bad she didn't admit that to herself before she trashed Carly's car, Brad smirks. Katie hostilely denies damaging the car. Brad blows her off, unconvinced and heads to the coffee machine where he notices Mac dropping Carly off at work. He stalks outside, asking why she didn't call him to give her a ride to work. Because she had to deal with three children this morning, and a fourth was just too much for her, Carly sarcastically tells him. Mac steps up and tries to smooth things over with Brad, but Brad tells him to back off. He doesn't buy this act, and he's going to make it his mission to find out what Mac's up to. While Katie watches from inside, Carly snarls at Brad while Mac stands back and lets her. Amused, Katie grins as Carly makes a point of ignoring Brad and talking to Mac. Seeing that Brad's heading back inside, Katie scurries back to her desk, just before Brad angrily storms back in. Grabbing his cell phone, Brad calls Lily, asking for the name of a private investigator.

    After Lily hangs up with Brad, she turns her attention to Holden. He's still not happy with Craig's presence at the house last night. Lily defends her friend, claiming that he dropped by for consolation after finding out that Lyla's cancer has returned. The content of the visit isn't important, Holden huffs. It's the fact that the man was even in his house. Lily yells that Holden's just being ridiculous now. Holden calls out for her as she slams the door behind her and chases her outside. Lily admits that she just needs a little time to cool off and will be back soon. Later, Lily meets with Carly at Java. Lily grumbles that she's at her wit's end. Lucinda hid a part of her past from her own daughter. Luke and Jade are both in hot water with the law. And now, Holden's upset over Craig's visit last night and she doesn't know how longer she can take it all. Holden's hatred towards Craig is slowly tearing apart her marriage, she quips. He only came by for some friendly comfort. Carly stops Lily mid-sentence and asks if she's heard yet. Once Lily shakes her head no and asks what she's talking about, Carly explains that she got a call from Rosanna last night. It seems that Craig has sued for full custody of Cabot. Lily's both perplexed and angered by Craig's actions. Suddenly, she remembers Craig's vague comment a few days ago that he was about to do something drastic. Chugging down the remainder of her coffee, Lily apologizes to Carly for cutting things short, but promises to get back in touch with her after she's done giving Craig an earful. After Lily leaves, Carly gives a disapproving shake of her head and chuckles that Lily's wasting her time; Craig's skull is too thick. Lily's words will go in one ear...and right out the other.

    Barbara can't believe Carrie is Darryl's daughter. Paul accuses Carrie of playing on Barbara's grief. Looking for proof, Barbara has Bob run Carrie's DNA sample against a hair out of Jennifer's old hairbrush that Barbara had kept in a keepsake box. Sure enough, the tests came back that Jennifer and Carrie are half-siblings. Troubled by all of this, Paul seeks guidance from his ghostly father, who urges him to do whatever it takes to keep his mother safe. Later, Barbara reveals her plans to have a celebration in Carrie's honor, permanently re-introducing her to the Oakdale community as Carolyn Dana Crawford. Kim pulls Barbara aside and lectures her niece to not get her spirits too high; Carrie is no Jennifer and Jennifer is never coming back. Across the continent, Rosanna seeks help from Kathy. Rosanna writes a check and Kathy tells her that the man brings the infant to the market where she works every Thursday around noon. Set in her place, Rosanna's frightened when the fire alarm at the market goes off. Amidst all the chaos (with people running everywhere), Rosanna tries to make out the sandy haired toddler rested in a man's arms, but gets shove aside. Regaining her stance, Rosanna searches for the man and the boy, but they're gone from her sight. Later, Rosanna returns to the market and learns that a woman named Kathy never worked there.

    Alison's convinced that Colin is hiding something huge and decides to keep up her sherade. Luke begs Holden to keep quiet, but Holden fumes that Jade is starting to return to her old ways by having everyone do her dirty work for her. Upset by Holden's words, Jade decides to call the whole thing off and give up. At the Lakeview, though, Colin gets tipsy thanks to Alison. He reveals that he's spying on Jade for the Taylors. Before he'll tell her why, though, Colin passes out with his hand comically placed on Alison's boob. Alison wiggles to get free, but Colin bolts up and drunkenly fumbles for the buttons on her jeans. Running an errand for Dusty, Aaron happens to see the whole thing and knocks Colin cold before taking Alison with him. Alison lies to Aaron that Colin is gay and was just playing around. Later, Colin shows up at work with a black eye and arrogantly jokes to Jade that her friend's boyfriend has a nice right hook, obviously unfazed by Aaron's assault.

    While at the farm dropping off the girls with Emma, Lily has a brief talk with Clark. She explains that her mother is Lucinda Walsh, but Clark doesn't recongize the name. Outside, Clark sees Luke and Kevin kissing farewell and seems disgusted. Over dinner, Clark reveals that he's not too accepting of Luke's lifestyle, which Luke accidentally overhears. Later, Jack comes by Lily's and tells her there's something she should know. He informs her that he had an old FBI friend dig a little and it turns out that Clark was once married at the age of fifteen, but there's no record of the marriage actually being filed. Confused, Lily hides the details from Holden, hoping to do some more digging of her own before getting her husband's hopes up about Clark's shady past. A few days later, Jack approaches Lily outside Emma's house and asks her what he has to do to win Carly back, unaware that Carly is behind him.

    Lisa confronts Tom about putting Casey in the middle of his recent fight with Margo. Tom lectures that Casey did that himself by breaking the law. Shocked at her son's words, Lisa implores him to quit thinking like a lawyer and start thinking like a father. Later, Tom attemps to make amends to Margo by reserving them a room at the Lakeview, but his pager goes off. They decide to try again later that night at home, but Casey snoring in the room beside them keeps them from doing anything. Later, Margo seeks advice from Lyla, who invites Casey to come stay with her until he can find a place of his own. Maybe with Casey out of the house, Margo suggests, she and Tom can get their groove back. Elsewhere, Katie tries to seek a solution to her pregnancy problem, thinking of ways she can break it to her husband that she lied. When Brad gushes about the possibility of becoming the father he never had, Katie's touched by his words and decides to keep the lie going for a little longer.

    Gwen applies for a job at Donovan's. Dusty hires her on the spot and agrees to work around her schedule with Hallie. When Gwen returns home to share the good news with Iris, she's shocked to find Will holding Hallie. Acidly, she hisses that Will's only job is to mow the yard; she doesn't want him around Hallie unless she's around. Later, Gwen finds beer cans in the back yard and guesses that Will was drinking while he was playing with Hallie. Upset, she runs to Iris, who assures her daughter that Will would never jeopardize his marriage like that. Once Gwen has left to put Hallie down, we see that Iris planted the beer cans in hopes of driving Gwen and Will further apart. Later, Will gets introduced to Carrie and automatically, the two hit it off. Barbara gets unsettled by the chemistry between the two and sends Noah after his girlfriend.

    Lily bursts through the door at Lucinda's and asks how she can be so careless about everything. First, she hides her past from her own daughter and then, out of nowhere, she emerges from seclusion to blame Colin's murder on Jade. Lucinda initially scolds Lily but soon retreats, knowing she can't win against Lily when she's this upset. Later, Margo shows Lily that the park pulled a security camera showing Jade at the scene with Colin, but there's another person. Both ladies look stunned when Kevin insinuates that it was Luke.

    Craig stops by Fairwinds and talks his way past the maid. He walks in while Rosanna's out of the room and picks up Cabot. As he starts to play with him, Rosanna comes out and threatens to call the cops. Craig insists that he was just spending some time with his son; it wasn't like he was going to run off with him. He knows he'd have OPD tailing him by the time he got his car out of the driveway. Rosanna stands stunned at Craig calling Cabot his "son" and asks him to leave. On his way out, Craig asks for an answer about his recent proposition. Rosanna mutters a quick "no" and locks the door behind her.

    Margo finds the police report documenting Carly's car being vandalized. Immediately, she probes Katie about what she knows, not mentioning her own suspicions that her little sister has resorted to violence. Hurt, Katie lashes out at Margo for thinking she did it. But, Katie laughs, as far as she's concerned, Carly's getting what she deserves too. After leaving, Katie runs into a weak looking Lyla. Katie insists that her mother go see Michael for a check up, unaware that Lyla's just returned from treatment.

    Grabbing a cup of hot cocoa, Alison thanks Casey for meeting her. She wanted to tell him in person that she and Aaron will no longer be working at Donovan's. However, they can still stay in contact. Gwen walks by and Casey gets cold feet when it comes to saying hi. Alison calls him out on it and Casey explains that he got a letter from Sofie last week and it still hasn't sank in. She and Gabe are getting married. Alison admits that while that is sad, it's also good news. Now, Casey's got the closure he needs to move on. Meanwhile, Gwen runs into Will and admits that she misses the way things used to be. Will asks to see Hallie one time before the custody hearing. Gwen seems to be okay with the idea, but Iris returns from shopping and instantly shoots it down. Gwen and Will share a longing glance before Gwen's whisked away under Iris's watchful wing.

    Carrie runs into Paul while shopping. He trades a few insults with her before Carrie finally asks why he hates her so much. Paul snickers that he knows people like her think they can just rush in and expect to get the royal treatment, especially from someone as wealthy as Barbara Ryan..."but I can see right through you," he grunts. Later, Carrie and Noah go for dinner at Al's. Barbara spots the two and eventually gives them her blessing. However, while Noah is away, Barbara warns Carrie. If Noah isn't sure if he'd rather be with a young man or a young woman, than what's to say that what Carrie and Noah have right now might fail in the long run? When Noah returns to the table, Carrie fakes a stomach ache and asks Noah to take her home. When he offers to stay with her, she politely declines.

    Emily stands in silence, waiting for Dusty to tell her what's really going on. "Why did you leave Lisa to get something out of your room when I just saw you acting like you didn't have a worry in the world back in your room," she asks. Dusty lies and says that he did forget his phone, but he thinks it might be in his car. When Dusty's phone starts ringing, he's caught in a lie until Lisa comes and breaks up the akward confrontation between the two. "Dear, I'd love to chat with you some other time, but you must forget...I'm very busy. I can't diddle daddle while I wait on you for forever. I have a hotel to run," she explains before marching off. When Dusty eyes the bar, he sees Clark isn't there anymore. His mission failed, he's sent back to reality when Emily's purse nudges against his head and he turns to find his enraged fiancee marching off. Later, Emily wonders to herself what Dusty was really doing and aims to find out.

    Jade comes by Lily's and finds her helping Natalie and Faith with homework. Both girls are happy to see their favorite cousin and rush upstairs to show her what they made for her. Lily protests that she thought when Jade came back to town, she would see more of her niece. But instead, Luke sees her more than her own aunt. Jade apologizes and sighs that things have been crazy. Faith and Natalie return downstairs and show Jade the drawing they made her. Lily asks Jade why she and Luke have been spending so much more time together lately than usual. Jade shrugs that there's no special reason before heading out. Later, Alison approaches Luke and Kevin and tells them she wants out of their plan to expose Colin.

    In her Chicago hotel room, Carly flips through the television and finds a movie to watch. She falls asleep and soon starts dreaming. In the dream, she sees herself and Jack strolling along in a park. She tries to catch their attention, but to no avail. They can't see or hear her. They seem to be in love, holding hands and laughing. After they disappear for a while, she finally finds Jack sitting alone at a park bench. Carly watches as the "dream Carly" returns with ice cream cones for the both of them. She walks around the bench, only to find that the dream version of herself has now turned into Katie. Woken by the dream, Carly darts up out of bed and heads for the dining hall. There, she spies Katie munching down on shrimp pasta and drinking a martini. Trying to sneak tothe opposite corner of the dining hall without being seen, Carly accidentally runs into Katie who spills her drink all over Carly's blouse. Katie apologizes profusely, but Carly huffs a vicious "Forget it" as she storms out of the dining hall, trying to hide her beet red complexion and trying to wipe her shirt dry.

    The tension continues to run high between Parker and Carly. After Parker gives her the cold shoulder, JJ tries to lighten her mood by cracking bad jokes. Carly thanks him, and tells him he's a lot like his father. And Jack will be surprised to see how much he's grown in such a short time. A little embarrassed, JJ admits having Mac to talk to has helped a lot. Carly asks what he means by that. Just that Mac's been really good about talking with him and Parker like they're adults, not just stupid kids.

Carly says that's very nice of him, but she hopes her kids always know they can talk to her when they're troubled. When JJ goes off to bed, Carly's suddenly suspicious of how quickly Mac ingratiated himself to her kids.

    Neil, the private investigator Brad hired to check out Mac Donnelly calls him and reports Mac's past is as clean as a whistle. He went to college on a hockey scholarship and after some years in the semi-pros went into coaching. It sounds too good to be true, Brad grouses. Neil privately agrees that something's not right about Mac's spotless record. Later, Brad tells Emma about his findings. Emma accuses Brad of having feelings for Carly, but he denies anything of the sort. He just feels obligated to look out for her with Jack gone. Emma sighs and confesses that she thinks Mac might be getting a bit too close, too.

    Bob remarks how Susan seems to be a little on edge lately. Susan agrees and contributes her lack of sleep to her high anxiety.

The happiness is short-lived when Michael reveals that he works long hours all weekend. Later, Alison tries to cheer up her mother with some sexy lingerie she can wear to surprise Michael at work.

    Bob is floored that his son would believe that he's got eyes for Susan again and tells Tom that he only wants what's best for Susan. Unfortunately, he doesn't think her cozying up to the new cancer specialist in town will be well liked by Michael's clingy soon to be ex. Tom reminds his father that Susan might be his colleague and his friend, but she's a big girl that can make her own decisions.

    Casey returns home to help Margo with supper, but realizes that his mom is out. He takes the break from his parents with joy and kicks back to relax. A knock comes at the door and he's stunned to see Sofie and Gabe on the other side. Sofie says that the photo shoot was amazing, but she had to come home and surprise him. Gabe thanks Sofie for her hard work and promises to get back in touch with her soon in regards to what they talked about. After he leaves, Casey asks Sofie what Gabe was talking about. Sofie directs him to the couch and tells him that while in Spain, she was approached by an elite modeling agency in Portugal and they're interested in signing her but only if she moves there. Casey forbids it, but Sofie tells Casey that she's already accepted the offer. She leaves next week. Casey becomes furious and tells Sofie not to wait up as he slams the door behind him.

    Carly arrives at the hospital and finds Carrie in a bucket of tears. As Carrie flips through old family photos, Carly sympathetically pats her on the back and asks if she can call anyone for her. Carrie sobs that she has no one; her dad is a pompous jerk and shunned her a long time ago. Carly apologizes for bringing the photo album and remarks that she meant to bring a photo album of the kids. She must have picked up Carrie's by mistake. As Carrie tucks it away, a photo falls to the floor. Carrie snaps for Carly not to touch it, but Carly already has the dropped photo in her hands. It's a picture of Jennifer. Carly's confused, but tucks it back in the album like she never saw it. The doctor comes in and tells Carrie she's free to go. As they gather her things, Carrie thanks Carly for being such a great friend. Carly nods and forces a smile, still baffled by the photo of Jennifer.

    Jack chuckles at Brad's accusation of jealousy. He smirks that he hopes things work out with him and Katie; but he knows from experience that Katie's a force to reckon with. Brad chimes in that he's ready for the challenge and bows up to Jack. Jack take his exit as Emma calms Brad down. Later, Jack arrives at the hospital and learns from a nurse that Carrie's been released. He goes to Carly's and she clues him in about the picture of Jennifer. Jack vows to figure it out, but Carly begs him to do it discreetly. She wants to find out why Carrie would have a picture of Jennifer, but she doesn't want her to find out that she knows about the picture.

    As Lyla yells at Michael to leave Oakdale, Margo calms her down. Neither her nor Katie tell their mother of Katie's engagement, fearing Lyla won't take it well. Michael learns from a deputy that Doris is being booked and will probably have to serve time for what she did. Michael's relieved and thanks Margo and Katie for all that they've done. Margo shocks him when she steps forward and tells him to take control of his life. He reasons that he has no control over his nutty wife, but Margo sternly replies that Michael's dysfunctional marriage has threatened her life and the lives of her mother and sister for the first and last time. As Margo, Katie, and Lyla leave, Katie turns to share a glance at her uncle. He mouths the words "Thank you" to her and she smiles.

    Gwen comes home and finds Will fast asleep. She tucks Hallie into bed and sings a lullaby to her, hushing her daughter to sleep and waking Will. Will rests his hand on Gwen's shoulder. Both stand in silence as they watch their daughter sleep. Will comments that he was worried about her; she lied and told him she was with her sister. Gwen stiffly replies that she went to the church and did some praying. She turns to face Will and tells him that for months now, she's been taking Hallie to see Iris. She knows Will says she hasn't changed, but Gwen explains that she knows something is different about her mother. She vows to show Will that her mother has changed. Will snps that zebras can't change their stripes. He admits that he's sickened that Gwen would let their daughter be tainted by anything so evil as Iris. Gwen hisses that this is all so ironic coming from the mouth of a former mental ward patient. Before she can take it back, Will storms out of the room and heads to bed. As Will takes up sleeping quarters on the couch again, Gwen looks at her husband longingly from the door of their bedroom. Tears flow down her face.

    As Noah gets ready for bed, he hears a knock at the door. It's Luke. Luke hustles in and angrily snaps that they need to talk. Noah reasons that he slept with Carrie because he was so hurt over the fact that Luke kept secrets from him; he should have been the first to know they were denied the apartment because of Noah's murderous father, not because of them being gay. But instead, Luke kept it from him and lied to his face. He was so hurt that he got drunk and after that, he lost his head. But by the time it was over, he was so eaten with guilt that he wanted to take it all back and just hold on to the one person in this world that loves him for him: Luke. Luke's not moved by his words and hisses that Noah's been lying to his face for months now, claiming Carrie was a classmate. He forgot to leave out the part about him f*cking her!! Luke shrugs that maybe he was wrong to give his heart to someone so soon. He should have known that this was going to happen when they first met and Noah was screwing Maddie. Noah pleads with Luke to see the situation how he sees it. Luke cries that he can't see it how Noah sees it because unlike Noah, he actually knows who he is. Noah obviously doesn't. As OneRepublic's "Stop and Stare" plays, Luke packs up his things and heads out of the apartment. Noah brings Luke into a passionate kiss, but Luke shove him away. Luke storms into the parking lot and drives away as Noah watches him. He flashes back to the good times he and Luke have experienced and gasps "This can't be the end". As Luke drives, he flashes back to all of Noah's lies. Unable to restrain his emotion, he pulls over and gets out. In the middle of nowhere on a long dark road, he screams from the top of his lungs. "WHY? WHY? WHY? Why does this have to be the end?" He gasps for air. It seems to him that in that instance, the world is closing in on him without mercy.

    Barbara thanks Noah for bringing Carrie back to the office last night after she spotted them cavorting at Yo's. Noah tells her that he thinks this is a bad mistake. Sensing his frustration, Barbara recalls that she has a business meeting out of town and would feel better if a man were at the house to watch over Carrie; and since both of her sons are pre-occupied with their own problems, Noah seems like the perfect guy for the job. Noah reluctantly agrees, only accepting at the prospect of having some alone time with Carrie.

    When Carrie returns home from work, he suggests they go to Donovan's but Carrie wants to go to bed. Noah sets up a makehsift bed on the couch as we see Carrie having a dream of James chuckling with Cabot in his arms. She screams and Noah bolts when he hears her. He calms her down and asks what she dreamed about, but Carrie says it doesn't matter..she's fine. She thanks Noah for checking up on her before sending him back to the couch.

    Later, Rosanna catches Barbara making a last minute stop at the office. Rosanna asks if she knows where she can find Paul and Barbara vents that if Rosanna plans on giving her son anymore hell for the fact that he believed Meg over her, she can forget it. He's already trashed the office because he was upset over a confrontation with Rosanna last week. Rosanna thanks Barbara for her help and decides to check in on Carly before going to work.

    Carly gives her sister the details of the Katie situation and snaps how convenient it was for Jack to miss Thanksgiving with the kids, but come back in on his white stallion in just enough time to give her another ass chewing about how her bitterness towards Katie is slowly ruining innocent little Katie's chances at a happy life. Rosanna suggests she talk with Jack some more about it; maybe now that they've both cooled off, they can have a civil conversation.

    Taking her sister's office, Carly arrives at Emma's and finds Jack working on a crossword puzzle. Carly coldly asks if there's a five letter word for liar before finally suggesting "K-A-T-I-E". Jack sighs that he doesn't want to fight anymore; if that's what she came to do, she can show herself out. Carly smiles that she didn't come to fight. She just came to "inform" him that Katie has a habit of suffocating her men until they either leave town to get away from her or spontaneously combust; he should know since he just had his divorce from the little nitwit finalized months ago. What's to say that she's not lying about her pregnancy to suffocate Brad?

    Jack steps back and says that maybe she has a point. He and Carly have hurt each other too much, too long to ever get back what they had. Not to mention that her vengeful behavior has made her claim a miscarriage she helped cause never really happened. Huffing with frustration, he tells her he got a job offer--a private security gig out of the country. And since he needs some space, he's going to take it. Carly stands speechless.

    Casey puts trays down on the counter, wiping his forehead and calling out to Aaron that all the trays have been cleaned. Alison emerges with a basket of decorations and asks for the boys' help with them. As they laugh and cut up while hanging the decorations, Colin walks in and asks if he's missed the party. Alison hisses that she thought he left town. Colin smirks that he had originally planned to until a blonde hottie caught his eye. Oh what a gentleman, she quips, excusing herself before she "gets sick" at the sight of him.

    Outside, Jade and Luke comb out the spot and comment how nice it is. Jade asks if Kevin is alright and Luke promises he'll check on him if he hasn't heard anything from him in a little while. He's probably riding around, jamming out, just letting off some steam. As the two finally enter the club, they're stunned to find themselves face to face with Colin. Luke asks what the hell he's still doing here. Colin chuckles that the gift his Mom gave him to leave town was quite generous, but he had a last minute change of plans. What was that, Jade irritably asks. Just then, Gwen walks in the door. Colin motions his location and runs to meet her at the stairs as Luke, Jade, and Alison all look on with disgust.

    Luke urges Noah to re-think his decision about going behind the scenes at Worldwide. At work, Noah learns that the mole has leaked information again. A furious Lucinda tells him to make a choice now. At a loss for words, Noah agrees to help Lucinda unmask the identity of the traitor at Worldwide. Meanwhile, Lily assures Luke that Lucinda knows how much he and Noah love one another. She would never jeopardize that just to save her company, but Luke has his doubts.

    Will checks on Barbara at the hospital. Michael has promising test results for Will to see.Barbara writes how she can't feel ehr toungue and Will assures her that it's all part of ridding her body of the cancer forever. Margo comes by and shocks both Will and Barbara when she brings flowers. Margo explains that she heard from Casey that Barbara had surgery and she wanted to bring some flowers by. Paul leaves to catch up on some B.R.O. work and Margo leaves as well. Will and Barbara exchange notes about how what they're doing to Iris is only going to show Gwen that she will never change. Meanwhile, someone gives an airplane ticket to an attendant with the destination marked as Oakdale, IL.

    Michael bumps into Margo in the hallway and the two share brief conversation before Lyla peeps through her exam room and sees them talking. Coming into the hallway in nothing but her hospital gown, Lyla urges Michael that her medical question can't wait. Margo sees humor in the scene, but also sees that her mother's trying to avoid Michael getting close to her children in any way possible. Back in the exam room, it seems Michael's livid and he tells her that he will talk to whomever he pleases. Lyla scoffs that Michael never understood the word "no" and she's only protecting her children. Michael turns and stares Lyla down.

    Carly finds Emma and Jack bonding over a game of Scrabble. Carly smiles as she politely asks Jack if she can have a second with him. Jack laments how he meant to call and tell Carly that he would be watching the kids this weekend, but he's suddenly cut off when Carly rips him apart. Carly scolds that Jack no longer makes decisions for her. Just because they share children together does not warrant Jack permission to barge into her home unannounced and berate her roommate with questions about her personal life. Jack tries to interject and tell Carly what he knows, but Carly cuts him off and warns him not to embarass her like that ever again. On the ride home, Carly remembers seeing Carrie be extremely protective of a photo album and how she tucked it away when Carly left the room. Carly begins to wonder to herself who exactly Carrie is and where she came from.

    Henry and Vienna watch with excitement as Brad and Katie go to "make-up". Vienna squeals as the make-up artist applies the brand new Vienna Coleman Expressions cosmetics on Brad and Katie.

Meanwhile, Doris, Michael's soon-to-be ex-wife, stares Katie down and Brad notices. As they leave, Brad tells Katie about the woman staring and Katie cheerfully shurgs it off as a shy fan.

    Carly learns from the school that Parker skipped class. At the hockey rink, she implores Mac to call her if her son happens to stray there. She reveals that Parker is no stanger to running away, but this time, she's frightened that Jack isn't here to help look for him. Later, Mac spots him and asks why he's not in school today. Parker admits he's worried about Jack, and he needed time to think. Parker adds they haven't heard from Jack in a while, and he knows something's wrong. Mac assures him Jack will get in touch when he can. Parker tries to explain the "connection" he has to Jack, but it falls on deaf ears. Over Parker's objections, Mac calls Carly, pointing out that his mother doesn't need more things to worry about.

    Carrie thanks Noah for meeting with her on such short notice. She reveals that she wanted to make sure he knows that she doesn't hold him reponsible for anything; all the fault lies with Barbara for trying to interfere. Noah groans that he was wrong in what he did, playing like a puppet for Barbara. All he wants is for Carrie to be happy. Carrie thanks him for meeting with her, but Noah touches her hand, signaling that he's not done. He adds that he will always thank her for being in his life, but because his life has become such chaos, he feels like the only way out is to find himself again. And the only way he can do that, he muses, is by leaving Oakdale. Across town, Luke receives a note from Noah, explaining that he never meant to Luke. Back at Java, Carrie hugs Noah goodbye and he loads a bus out of town. Will approaches and asks her what just happened and Carrie smiles that she just said goodbye to a friend.

    Margo shows up at WOAK to talk to the security guard who called 911 the night Brad was assaulted. He didn't see anyone, and hands over the security tapes. Stopping at Katie's office, Margo asks her little sister if there's anything she'd like to confess to now, before the OPD tech guys spend hours watching boring security footage. Katie insists she didn't do anything to Brad, and she was surprised when the hospital called her to tell her Brad had been admitted. Brad comes in, and backs up Katie's version of events. Margo sincerely hopes Katie is telling her the truth, because she'd hate to see another sibling heading off in handcuffs. After Margo leaves, Katie thanks Brad for standing up for her to Margo. Brad tells her not to bother; in spite of what he told Margo and Carly, he's not sure she didn't do it. Brad warns her if she's pulling stunts to get back at him, she'll get caught sooner or later. And if anything more happens to him or Carly, he's going to make sure she pays for it.

    Lily learns that she can't withdraw the money to bail Jade out. Stunned, she calls Holden, who informs her that he hasn't yet gotten paid for two mares he sold. Lily flinches, knowing her only other alternative. She arrives at the mansion and asks Lucinda for a favor. Lucinda scoffs that Lily would barely talk to her the other day, and now she's counting on her mother for some sort of favor. Lily explains that Jade was wrongfully accused of murder and Lily's finances can't afford another bail; she just bailed Luke out for covering up the crime. Agitated, Lucinda voices her doubts that Jade is the confused, innocent girl Lily keeps painting her to be. Lily takes offense and storms off, hissing that her mother has reached the edge of reason. Later, Lily hears a knock at the door and greets a courier toting an envelope. She opens it and finds a check from her mother with a short note detailing how Rose was very special to her and she's helping them out for that reason only.

    Luke and Noah walk hand in hand through Oakdale when suddenly, Noah pulls away. He reasons that if Sherry saw them together, it would blow everything. Carrie walks by and Luke stops her, inviting his boyfriend's "classmate" to the grand opening of the cancer ward as his date. Carrie smiles and says that she'd love to go. After she leaves, Noah becomes agitated that Luke invited Carrie to be his date. Luke reasons that if Noah's going with Sherry, he should go with a female to avoid raising any suspicion from Sherry. Later, Emma scolds Jack for staying home and not attending the grand opening of the cancer ward. She volunteers to watch the kids and Jack gladly accepts her offer. Luke comes in and tells Emma that he needs her to iron his tux for the night, as he found a date with Noah's classmate named Carrie. Jack whirls around, shocked that Luke knows Carrie. As Jack drills Luke for information about Carrie, Luke's own doubts resurface as he tells his uncle that he never found out anything about Carrie or her past. Noah rushes in to tell Luke they're going to be late, inadvertently running into the middle of one of Jack's questions about Carrie. Feeling the tension rising, his heart racing, and his feet sinking, Noah rushes Luke out the door before Jack can ask anything else that might strengthen Luke's already heightened curiousity.

    Carrie comes in and tells Carly that she won't be able to watch the kids tonight because she agreed to go to the opening with a friend. Carly applauds her for getting herself out there and asks who the friend is. Carrie giggles, asserting that they're just friends and nothing else. Carly almost faints when she hears the name "Luke Snyder" come from Carrie's mouth. Avoiding her questions, Carrie rushes up the stairs past Carly's questioning eyes. Jack comes in and announces that Emma has agreed to keep the kids. Carly thanks Jack for finding the kids a place to stay, mentioning that she thought she was in deep manure when Carrie just cancelled for her date with Luke. Jack's baffled, and Carly tells Jack that she doesn't know anything more than he does. But what Carrie does is Carrie's business, Carly warns. Jack fiddles around, avoiding his reason for coming over. Carly, noticing his behavior, asks him what he came over for. Jack finally gathers up the courage to ask Carly to accompany him to the opening tonight, but his first word is silenced by a horn honking outside. Carly sticks her head through the door and motions to her mystery guest that she's coming and turns to gather her things. Jack, in a daze, asks Carly what's going on. Carly shrugs, forcing a slight smile across her face, and calmly replies that she's going to the opening with a newly-returned Wagner. She turns and closes the door, but not before reminding a doe-eyed Jack to lock the door on his way out.

    Michael answers the door, a towel hanging just below his waist, when Susan appears. Susan chuckles at Michael's dress code as he hurries to put something on. Michael trips on part of the towel, untying the loose knot from around his waist, and showing Susan everything he has to offer. Quickly wrapping a sheet around his waist, he chuckles and apologizes for the peep show. Speechless, Susan hands Michael some forms to sign saying that Memorial's cancer ward is fully legal and meets requirements. Susan rushes out the door, thanking Michael for his time and promising to see Michael tonight at the grand opening. Smirking, Michael charms, "Hopefully not any more of me than what you just saw" before Susan closes the door. Later, Michael runs into Java for a quick cup of coffee, all the way reciting his speech for the opening ceremonies. Katie comes out and cheerfully chirps that she hopes Michael has his speech down pat. Michael nervously fidgets around, sending a signal to Katie that her uncle is beyond lost. Katie giggles and sits Michael down, offering to help him memorize his speech. Meanwhile, outside, Doris watches Katie laugh and place her hand on Michael's arm. Fuming, Doris marches off.

    Lily emerges from the shower and starts blowdrying her hair. Holden glides up behind her and caresses her neck with kisses. His hand moves down below her belly button, exploring into other parts. As Lily lays her neck back, he gently kisses her neck and nibbles on her ear. Lily giggles, reminding Holden that if she wasn't ticklish right there and if she didn't have a million things to do right now, they would be continuing this in the bedroom. Holden keeps on, despite the loud howling of the blowdryer. He sets her down on the bathroom rug and smothers her in kisses. Lily unzips his pants and pulls them down, exposing his tight muscular butt. As he gently pushes himself into her, Lily moans and the camera pans up to reveal two smeared handprints going downward in the steam-stained bathroom mirror. Later, Holden and Lily emerge from the bathroom, joking and smiling. Luke walks in with his tux and Lily comments on how sharp he looks. He blushes, thanking his mom for the compliment. He asks what has his parents with such big grins and Lily replies that she and Holden just had some lovely one on one time. Luke scrunches his face in disgust and laughs. He comments how happy the family is now and says that it hasn't been this great in a long time. All three recall the trials of the past few years, excitedly welcoming the happy silence that has filled their dramatic lives.

    Paul knocks on Rosanna's door, but the gardener tells him that Ms. Cabot just left. Not knowing where to look, Paul returns to his suite and is stunned to find Rosanna waiting for him in the hallway. Rosanna reasons that she left something over here the other day when she dropped him off after his flat tire. Paul tries to make small talk, but Rosanna's short orders cause him to finally call her out. Paul pleads that he was a fool to believe Meg was carrying his baby. He was a fool to not see her countless lies. And he was a fool to think that Rosanna would every intentionally hurt Meg or the baby she was carrying. Rosanna sighs in aggravation and huffs that Paul isn't going to persuade her decision. She's done with Paul. Paul leans against the door, his hand pressed against and blocking Rosanna's only menthod of exiting his suite. He reaches down and grabs Rosanna into a kiss. Rosanna's body stiffens, her arm pushing Paul away, resisting his advances. Eventually, though, Rosanna loosens her body and welcomes the kiss. Paul looks into her eyes, breathlessly whispering that she can't let this get away; she's a liar if she thinks this connection doesn't exist. Rosanna angrily barges past Paul, swinging the door open and huffing that she knew this was a mistake. Outside, Rosanna gets a call and confirms to someone that she's a chairman of the new cancer ward and will be attending tonight. As Paul runs into his room to get ready, Rosanna hangs up the phone and gently touches her lip, recalling the kiss that just happened. As she scolds herself for letting Paul get to her like that, she finally snaps out of it, removes her fingers from her moistened lips, re-gathers her bearings, and walks away, deadset on never communicating with Paul Ryan ever again.

    Rosanna recalls Carly sending her on a wild goose chase for a dropped earring yesterday, only for her to run into Paul again. Rosanna laughs as she sorts through paperwork on her clustered desk. She's amused at the fact that Carly calls herself a matchmaker. Done for the day, she drives home and sees someone on the side of the road with a flat tire. As she slows down, she silently snickers at who it is...Paul. He huffs that his spare tire is flat, too, and asks Rosanna for a ride to his place while a tow truck comes to get his car. Rosanna agrees as he jumps in the car, humuorously thanking her for her heroic efforts. Once at his place, Paul invites Rosanna in for a drink. She turns it down, but when he tells her its the least he can do for her generosity, she eventually agrees. Paul raises his glass and toasts....to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
