    Episode 218

    By Actor87,

    At Donovan's, everyone seems to be clearing out when Aaron comes in. Alison remarks how he's late for his shift, but Aaron wants to know why she let Jade suck her into her scheme. Alison sighs that she did it more for Luke than anyone. Aaron is baffled as to why his brother would want anything to do with someone like Jade. Across town, Luke appeals to Jade and suggests they fake that she has the diamond. Once the Taylors hear of it, no doubt, they'll come sprinting to town, he scoffs. Jade is reluctant, but eventually agrees when Luke proposes that once her family comes to town, she can face them with the truth. Lily intercepts the end of the conversation and forbids any trickery. Instead, she suggests she and Jade handle this head on...together. Jade thanks her aunt for her support, but later, we see Luke picking up a toy diamond from Faith's bedroom and tuck it inside his jeans pocket.

    Will takes a walk through Old Town square only to meet up with Carrie and Barbara. Iris soon approaches and thanks Will for his efforts around the house, but tells him that Gwen has forced her to fire him. Before she runs off, she hands Will a piece of paper. Will's left speechless by the paper and Barbara yanks it out of his hands. Barbara rolls her eyes as she hisses that neither Gwen nor Iris have the right to file a restraining order against Will. She assures her son that they will fight this, only for Will to mumble that he has another idea before storming off. At Iris's door, Will stands violently beating until Gwen opens the door. He cries that she can't be thinking of doing this; Iris has set him up. Gwen laughs at the accusation and painfully stabs that even if her mother did set him up, it's his just desserts for doing the same to Iris. Across town, Barbara lets Carrie in on the details behind Will and Gwen's history, vaguely hinting that Carrie need not even interfere in Will's chaotic life.

    Ripping out a page from her cookbook, Emma starts whipping up a recipe. Jack comes in that it's a bit too early to be doing Thanksgiving cooking. Emma shrugs that the annual Snyder feast is only a few days away. She asks if Carly will be attending and Jack almost seems bothered by the question. She will be bringing the kids, he says, but Jack won't be here. Emma starts to ask why when Carly comes in. After the two discuss the children, Jack makes a remark about having to prepare an extra place at the table for next year. Emma squeals with delight as Carly arches her eyebrow, contemplating what secret the two are sharing. Finally, Jack informs her that Brad and Katie are having a baby. Carly shivers at the idea of two brainless idiots raising a baby together, and suddenly her memory flashes. Katie eating shellfish and drinking alcohol. Katie's pleading for her to keep her mouth shut. It all makes sense now, Carly coos, unaware she's talking out loud. Jack asks her what she's talking about and Carly devilishly grins, muttering a simple "Oh, nothing" before saying goodbye and walking out.

    Across town, Tom opens the door and fumbles for the light switch. He hesitates when he hears soft, slow music coming from upstairs. A row of rose petals lines the stair. Tom chuckles, setting down his briefcase and coat. As he halfway leaps each stair, he struggles to get his tie loose and jumps one foot as he takes off both shoes. When he gets upstairs, he sees the bedroom lit with candles and Margo in sexy black lingerie. After making love, Tom pants how extraordinary that was. He never thought the day would come when they would finally have the house to themselves and be able to make love like that. Having Casey move in with Lyla was the best idea for each side, he comments. He further reveals that Casey has started looking at apartments. Margo grins, gushing how great it is to have Casey out of the house and in bed with the one person who makes her whole. Still, she ponders, it is a bit too quiet. Tom hesitantly chuckles, catching his wife's vague hint. He smiles that as much as he loves her, he thinks they're a bit too old to be having kids. At their age and with their hectic schedules, he reasons, it's out of the question. Biting her lip impatiently, Margo gets up out of bed and soon re-appears in her uniform. She's working the night shift tonight, she reminds him, before grabbing up her keys and heading out the door. Exhausted and baffled by his wife's reaction, Tom slams his head against his pillow and lets out a deep sigh.

    By Actor87,

    Kevin approaches Luke and reveals what he heard Colin saying to the Taylors about a diamond. Once they question Jade about it, they realize she has no clue. Suddenly, Luke remembers something and tracks down Lily, who's in Old Town shopping with the girls. A cold shiver runs down her spine when she realizes that the diamond in question is the very same diamond that she, Rose, and Simon fought over all those years ago. When Luke returns to tell Jade, she's stunned and realizes that the Taylors only want the diamond, not her. Just then, Aaron appears and angrily berates Jade for getting Alison to do her dirty work for her. Luke takes all the blame, forcing Aaron to keep his cool. Frustrated, he dares Jade to come near him or Alison again before stomping away.

    As he eats his lunch at Al's, Dusty comes face to face with a less than happy Emily. She wants answers, she demands, and she's not leaving until he gives them to her. They're engaged, she reminds him, so there's no reason to be keeping secrets. Dusty fumes that Emily needs to keep her nose out of his business. Emily hisses that she is his business, she's his future wife. After licking her wounds, Emily attempts to get answers from Clark over at Java, but he seems confused by the name Lucinda Walsh. He's never heard of her before, he concludes. Emily isn't done yet, though, and returns to her office at the paper. She picks up her cell phone and calls a long-time source, demanding they dig up every piece of dirt that can be found on Lucinda.

    Carly ruffles through an old drawer, looking for some old sketches she had tucked away. She pauses for a moment when she catches a glimmer in the corner of the drawer. Pulling out her old compass, she reflects back on the first time she and Jack had the "true north" discussion. Jack knocks at the door, interrupting her nostalgic trance and he reminds her that she promised she'd pick up the kids from Emma's; he has some important errands to run. Arriving at the farm, Carly disrupts Emma's infamous chuckle as Brad proposes they name the baby Emma if it's a girl. Carly asks what they're talking about, but Sage's jubilant shriek at seeing her mother startles her. Carly giggles and rounds up the kids before heading out. Later, Brad mentions Carly coming by the farm and Katie nervously asks Brad if he told Carly about the pregnancy. Brad says no, but seems curious as to why his wife is so fidgety. Sensing her tension, Brad pulls out the ring he bought her while she was away. While he gushes at how it's a symbol of his love, devotion, and trust, Katie forces a hesitant smile.

    Rosanna waits on pins and needles as her P.I. friend Neil ties up some loose ends on the phone. It appears that Kathy has agreed to come to Oakdale, but only under the terms that only Neil speak with her. Paul grumbles for him to speak with this Kathy woman, snatching the phone away and angrily yelling into the other end. Startled, Kathy hangs up. Rosanna is livid that Paul could have jeopardized her one shot at finding information about Cabot. Paul apologizes, but a teary eyed Rosanna hisses that she wants Paul to stay away from her; she can do this on her own. She doesn't need his help anymore. Angry, he ventures to B.R.O. hoping work will get his mind off another failed attempt to persuade Rosanna to let him help and eventually heal the wound he inflicted upon her all those months ago. He should have never believed Meg over her, he says. Once he arrives, he tries to get work done, but he ends up trashing his office out of pure anger. Barbara comes in and sees what he's done and reprimands her son.

    After Colin has retreated, Jade thanks her cousin for looking out for her. Outside, Colin agrily tells the Taylors that he's done; he can't find the diamond anywhere and he gives up. Lurking in the shadows, Kevin hears everything. Meanwhile, Luke tells Lily everything and she's horrified to learn Colin was hoping to get close to Jade for money. Later, Aaron comes by and Lily accidentally spills that Holden saw Alison with another man the other night.

    Lucinda waltzes into Donovan's and Dusty reports that their mission was a failure. Lucinda sighs that she'll have to think of another plan. When Dusty calls her out on why she wants to keep her past with Clark hidden, Lucinda fires back it's none of his concern. Little do they know that Emily has heard the whole thing. Across town, Lily approaches Colin and verbally berates him for preying on Jade and her family.

    At home, Will answers a knock on the door and finds Alison on the other side. She confronts her old friend with what all she's heard from Gwen and Will realizes that Iris has been setting him up. Later, Alison runs into Aaron who huffs that Lily's told him everything; he knows she's been seeing someone behind his back. Alison replies that she was trying to expose Jade's adoptive step-brother for trying to get to Lil's money. Once he hears Jade was behind everything, he heads off to confront her.

    Rosanna sees Paul fussing at a secretary at the B.R.O. offices and calls him out on it. Paul huffs that he's just been in a foul mood ever since Carrie slithered her way into his family's life; Barbara seems to think she'll replace Jennifer. Rosanna suggests Paul calm down, but he changes the subject to Cabot. Interrupting, Rosanna's hired private investigator Neil calls and reveals that he's got some info on the Kathy woman that Rosanna encountered in Arizona.

    After failing at convincing Alison to give one last go with Colin, Luke and Jade decide to confront him on their own. Colin finally admits his ties to the Taylors, but assures Jade that it's nothing personal. Jade is shocked when Luke punches Colin cold and knocks him to the ground.

    Alison meets up with Aaron at Donovan's for work and is surprised to find Gwen working there. The two old friends catch up and Gwen confides that she sees Will as a threat to Hallie. Alison doesn't think it sounds much like the Will she once knew, but Gwen sighs that the Will they once knew has changed.

    Elsewhere, Will stumbles on Carrie working with Barbara on some designs. Barbara has a chance to finally introduce Carrie as Jennifer's half-sister. With Carrie out of the room, Barbara reveals how much she thinks Jennifer and Carrie are alike. When Will responds that Carrie will never take Jennifer's place, Barbara lashes out and storms off.

    Later, Will shows up to help Iris with a leaky faucet. While he's not looking, she sets an empty whiskey bottle in his car. Once Gwen returns from work, Iris has her daughter go out to Will's car for something. After finding the whiskey bottle, Gwen scurries inside and demands Will leave. Confused, he follows his estranged wife's orders and leaves Gwen crying on Iris's shoulder.

    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.

    While boarding the plane the next day, Katie walks up to Carly and again apologizes for the incident the other night. Carly reluctant mumbles her acceptance and sits down. Moments later, Katie recalls that she was having a martini and shrimp at the time that Carly bumped into her. Two tell-tale signs that she's not pregnant. Realizing that she needs to make sure Brad never finds out, Katie asks Carly to keep the run-in incident to herself. Intrigued, Carly nods, and later, wonders why Katie asked her to keep it a secret. She must be hiding something, Carly concludes, and she's deadset on figuring out what it is.

    Emily waltzes into her office and finds a dozen roses on her desk. "Sorry about the other night. I'll make it up to you. My place, 5:00. -Dusty," the card reads. Emily smiles. Later, Dusty has prepared an eventful agenda for their romantic night full of lasagna and make-up sex. When Emily arrives, things soon turn sour when Emily revisits the previous night's events and asks Dusty to spill why he seemed to be pusing Lisa and Clark together. Dusty tries to keep the fighting to a minimum, and before long, apologies are said and clothes are shed. While Dusty takes a shower, Emily snoops in his phone and is intrigued by the amount of calls from Lucinda. After showering, Dusty returns to find Emily nowhere in sight.

    Driving through town, Jade spots Luke and Kevin's cars at Lily's and decides to stop by for a visit. Lily jokes that Jade must have left something to come to the house twice in a row. Sparing her from his mother's intimidating questions, Lily excuses them to go ride horses. Holden returns and thinks it's strange that Jade has come by. Lily takes up for Jade, but starts doubting herself when Holden reveals that he saw Alison and Jade's "boyfriend" acting more than cozy last week. Meanwhile, Luke informs Jade that Alison has bowed out of their plan to expose Colin. Jade starts to fret, until Luke reveals that they'll just have to come up with a Plan B.

    Across town, at Worldwide, Lucinda's finishing up some last minute plans for a flight to D.C. on business when Noah comes in. Noah tells Lucinda that he's almost done working on the merger that she asked about. Lucinda applauds Noah for doing as well as he is with her company and promises to talk about a promotion once time allows. Noah thanks Lucinda and directs the questions towards Luke. Lucinda confides that she's not sure if Noah and Luke will ever regain the trust they once had, especially now that he's with Carrie. Noah sighs that he wants to be with Carrie, but part of him misses Luke, too. Matter-of-fact-ly, Lucinda tells Noah that he's going to need to decide between the two soon. On his way out, Noah brushes against Emily. Lucinda hisses that it's late and she was just about to leave for the day. Emily sternly counters that it can wait; first, she's going to tell all that she knows about why Dusty would want to push Clark and Lisa together.

    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.

    By Actor87,

    After Aaron decides to go spend the day at the farm with a sick Ethan, Alison decides to report back to Luke and Jade what happened with Colin. Jade's in shock, but Luke's curious as to why Colin thinks of him as being the key to getting to Jade. Alison hypothesizes that maybe it's because the two cousins are so close. Later, Noah runs into Luke and the two make small talk. After Noah walks away, Luke confides in Jade that he thinks he might still have feelings for his ex.

    Lisa meets with Dusty at the Lakeview bar. Both are unaware that Emily is watching from afar. Dusty makes an excuse that he forgot something upstairs. Minutes after he's gone, Clark saunters into the bar. The two re-acquaint themselves and Clark explains that he's here to meet with Dusty on business. Later, Emily heads upstairs and finds Dusty. Bluntly, she asks him what he's doing. When Dusty tries to play it off, Emily decides to take her questions to Emma. Dusty stops her, and tells his fiancee that he'll tell her what's really going on.

    Susan appears in the hall, having just completed a check-up on a newborn. Alison stops her mother and asks if she's heard anything from Michael. Susan sadly reports that she hasn't spoken with him lately. Alison asks her mother if she thinks she's doing the right thing by getting involved in Luke and Jade's drama with Colin. Susan, more stern than ever, quips that she's doing everything right...if she wants Aaron to leave her.

    Dropping off the kids with Emma, Jack has a little time to conversate with his favorite aunt. He tells her how Carly went out of town on business and moans how tired he is of getting mixed signals. Emma laughs and replies that now Jack is getting a taste of his own medicine after all these years of giving Carly mixed signals. Later, Clark at Emma's but when she goes to kiss him, he pulls away. Exhausted, he yawns that he's going to back to the hotel and get some rest. After he exits, Emma defeatedly mumbles that she was thinking of asking Clark to move in with her.

    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.

    By Actor87,

    Carly's upset with Jack that he went to Lily for advice on them. Protesting, he lectures how he doesn't know what to do anymore. Carly later speaks with Lily, who tells her that she's becoming more like the judgmental Jack that she always loathed. Carly sighs that she can't even tell what she wants anymore. Lily suggests that the straw that broke the camel's back with Jack was him marrying Katie. Carly laughs it off. Back at work, Kim tells Carly of a job conference in Chicago and she jumps at the opportunity.

    Still upset about Clark voicing his distaste towards Luke being gay, Luke confronts Emma. Emma assures Luke that Clark's opinion has no impression on the feeling she has for either of them. Later, Emma tells Clark that she needs him to be more open-minded. After a small fight, Clark storms out and heads to the Lakeview. It's there that he runs into Lisa. Just as Lucinda steps off the elevator, she spies Clark and Lisa talking. When Dusty approaches her, she suggests he do a little match-making with Clark and Lisa. She adds that if Clark is away from the Snyder's, he's away from Lily; and the further Lily is away from Clark, the further she is from learning the truth about Lucinda and Clark's connection.

    Aaron shows up for work and shows Gwen around on her first day at Donovan's. Casey shows up for work and is surprised to see Gwen working there. After he spots Gwen talking with Aaron, Casey gets the idea that Aaron hired Gwen out of some ulterior motive. Aaron assures a confrontational Casey that Dusty hired her. Alison backs Aaron's story and Casey feels foolish, soon apologizing to them both. Later, Alison praises Aaron's efforts towards making things right with Casey.

    At work, Katie keeps busy to avoid running into Brad on set. When Brad tries to make a big production out of Katie's pregnancy, Katie downplays it to her co-workers as his wishful thinking. Kim tells her of a conference out of town and Katie decides to go, but only if Brad stays home. Realizing he's going to come anyway, Katie lies to Brad and tells him that she's taking a trip out of town to see Cricket. Witnessing everything, Margo scolds Katie for lying again. Casey sees the whole thing and scolds his aunt for lying, recalling that lies are the exact same thing that made Simon and Mike leave her. Meanwhile, Brad speaks with a jeweler and picks out an engagement ring, intent on popping the question when Katie returns.

    In Kansas, Rosanna's upset to learn that a woman named Kathy never worked at the market. She's confused and puzzled that the woman just vanished. Later, we see Kathy inform someone that she did what they asked, handing them the same check that Rosanna paid her with.

    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.

    Gwen frets to Iris how uncomfortable it makes her feel to have Will so close, especially when she moved in with her mother to stay away from him. Carly stops by to ask Gwen to watch the kids while she goes out of town for a day on business. After some intense interrogation, Carly finally gives in and reveals that she's actually going to Montana so she can get her head right. Gwen rolls her eyes and sarcastically giggles that Carly can't seriously be running away again. That's what got her in this position in the first place, she says. Carly takes offense and leaves, later running into Emma. The Snyder matriarch echoes the same sentiment. For years, Carly's been in this same routine: when things get to be too much or too confusing, she leaves town, and returns to find a whole new chaos. Maybe staying put is the best solution. Just like Emma recently discovered, she counsels that running away isn't always the best thing to do.

    A few days later, Jack comes over to Carly's to return Sage's backpack. When he makes a joke about their fishing trip last week, Carly's reminded of the kiss and scolds Jack for kissing her in front of the children. Although he maintains that it was just an innocent peck on the cheek, Carly argues that any symbol of affection might give the kids false hope about them getting back together. Tightening his brow, Jack wonders aloud if maybe he's catching the same confusion since he thought that they had agreed on starting over. Perhaps he's running off of false hope too, he huffs. Carly quietly reminds him that they agreed to start over, not get back together.

    Aaron and Casey sip cola and grab popcorn by the handfuls, shoving it into their mouths as they both spring up and yell "Touchdown!!" Alison comes in and disgustingly chuckles at what slobs they are. After Casey leaves, Alison thanks Aaron again for trying to be civil. Aaron shrugs that Casey's not as bad as he thought. He was just jealous after seeing how close Alison and Casey had become. He started wondering if maybe people who didn't know them thought that Casey was her boyfriend. That would never happen, Alison explains. Everyone in Oakdale should know by now that she's Aaron's...and only Aaron's. The next day, in Old Town, Luke catches Alison and asks if she's ready to help them expose Colin. Hesitant, Alison starts to backtrack and opt out of the original agreement. Luke begs her, explaining that she'll only have to have a drink or two with the guy; nothing too harmful. Eventually, Alison agress. Later, before Colin goes on the date with Alison, he learns from Jade that Luke is Lily's son. Intrigued, Colin heads off for his date. Soon, Holden sees Alison and Colin sharing a laugh and automatically makes assumptions. While Luke spies his dad from afar and rushes to keep him from confronting Alison in front of Colin, Colin heads off to the bathroom. Following him, Alison overhears Colin reporting to Mr. Taylor that he still hasn't found anything, but he believes Jade's cousin Luke might be helpful in his search.

    Carrie still holds onto the photo of Cabot, desperately pleaing with God to help her. Noah comes in and almost catches her with the photo. She reveals that she's moving back in with Barbara. Noah's shocked and acidly, Carrie rhetorically asks if Noah really thought this living arrangement would last. Days later, Barbara welcomes Carrie back into the penthouse and makes Paul apologize for lying. Later, Paul vows to Carrie that he'll be keeping an eye on her. Fed up, Carrie asks how long Paul is going to keep his mother in the dark about the fact that she's Darryl's daughter. Walking back in to discuss designs, Barbara overhears Carrie's statement and stops dead in her tracks. Across town, Rosanna sets off to follow the lead about Cabot in Arizona. She runs into a woman named Kathy, who suggests that she might know more...if the price is right.

    Margo comes home and finds out from Tom that Casey's parole officer has a meeting with him in the morning. Starting to panic, Margo wonders what the parole officer wants now. Eventually, after watching his wife in silent panic mode all day, Tom reveals that he knows Margo lied to Casey's parole officer about letting him borrow the car. Margo tries to apologize, but Tom seems more betrayed by the fact that Margo lied than the actual lie itself. After twenty-something years of marriage, he sarcastically grunts, you think they would have worked out the honesty part. Tom also huffs that he can't believe that Margo, an officer of the law, would sacrifice her job like that. Teary eyed, she screams that Tom knows he would do the same thing for Casey...or would he? Tom is hurt by Margo's fierce, emotional questioning of his parenting and storms out. Later, Casey comes home and learns that his mother and father are fighting. Upset that they're fighting over him, he seeks advice from Lisa, who promises to talk to his father for him.

    We made it to 200, guys!

    -------------------------------------

    Through a visit with Lily, Carly discovers that Carrie is now living with Noah in Lucinda's guesthouse. The two ladies discuss the fact that Carrie's past remains a mystery to pretty much everyone in Oakdale. Whatever the case, James must have been holding something pretty big over her head for her to work for him, they conclude. Lily changes the subject to Jack and Carly, and Carly reveals that she thinks Jack might want to make another go at it, but she's not sure if either of them, not to mention the kids, are ready for such a big step.

    Gwen answers the door and finds Will on the other side. She bluntly asks if he's had anything to drink and Will counters that he hasn't had a drop since his run in with Jack. It was Jack that made him think about what he was doing to his family, and he apologizes. Will plays with Hallie while Gwen hears about Will getting fired from the bookstore. Iris overhears and thinks that it would be nice to have Will around to spend more time with Hallie. She explains that she needs some work done around the house and kindly offers him the job. Gwen resentfully eyeballs her mother as Will graciously accepts the generous offer.

    Barbara returns home from her businnes trip out of town and sees Carrie's room is empty. Baffled, she phones her. Confused, Carrie replies that Paul had told her that she was fired and had to move out. Barbara scoffs that she did no such thing and tells her she's welcome to return as soon as she can; they need to meet with some top names in the business tomorrow to discuss the new line. Hanging up, Barbara sets off to confront Paul, who denies he told Carrie to move out. She must be making that up, he suggests, to drive a rift between mother and son. Barbara yells that Paul is just like his father: deceitful, cunning, and ruthless. After she's left, Paul gets a call from Rosanna, requesting he come with her to meet the private investigator.

    A few minutes later, Paul walks into the office of the private investigator and finds Rosanna pacing the floor. She shamefully admits that she's losing hope for Cabot's safe return day by day. The P.I. comes out of his office and thanks them for coming; he thinks he has some big news. He found a couple in Arizona that says they've seen a man around town with a child matching the picture of Cabot that Rosanna provided. Rosanna cries with excitement as Paul pulls the P.I. aside. Threatening, Paul offers to serve him his head on a platter if this lead doesn't check out and he's left to console his friend after yet another false lead. Paul asks to see the photo of Cabot that he has in his file. The P.I. hands him the photo, showing an infant Cabot shortly after birth. There's a hand holding him in the corner of the photo, which Paul assumes is Rosanna's hand.

    The camera zooms in on the hand in the photo and zooms out to reveal a real life hand toting the same image of an infant Cabot. A teardrop falls and the photo gets tucked back inside a manila enevelope. The camera pans out to reveal that it was Carrie holding the photo. Wiping her tears away, she hides the envelope in her purse and gets into bed.

    Margo is still feeling guilty for lying to Tom when he appears downstairs headed to work. When Lyla comes by, Margo berates her mother for keeping Brad in the dark about everything. Lyla can tell something is bothering her oldest daughter, but Margo argues everything is just fine. She knows that if Lyla ever finds out that she lied to Tom about Casey, her mother and her husband will both hang her out to dry.

    Lily catches Lucinda over at Worldwide and confonts her mother about all the whispering between her and Dusty last night. Lucinda denies it was anything important. That subject aside for now, Lucinda informs Lily that Carrie has moved into the guesthouse with Noah. Back at the house, Lily comes home and informs Luke that Noah and Carrie have moved into together. She's floored by Luke's cold reaction and finally realizes that her son isn't all the way over Noah just yet.

    Gwen comes downstairs as Iris asks how Hallie is doing. Gwen reports that she's doing alot better now, but she still cries alot. Iris hints that maybe Hallie just misses her dad. Gwen's shocked and asks her mother if she thinks she should invite Will over, especially after all he's done to Iris; not to mention how drunk he's been. Iris shrugs that maybe seeing Hallie will put things into perspective for him. "Or give him false hope about us getting back together," Gwen irritably huffs.

    Katie comes home and is shocked at the nice meal that Brad has prepared. She eyes the table, all set with candlelight and roses. Katie groans that she's tired, hoping to lie her way out of basking in the warm candlelight glow of her latest non-truth. Brad insists that Katie's eating for two now. Later, on an errand, Katie runs into Alison and her eyes light up when she learns that her old friend now works at the hospital.

    Knocking incessantly, Rosanna wakes Paul in the wee hours of the morning after a horrific nightmare about finding Cabot cold and on the brink of death. She shudders that she can't go back to Fairwinds; it holds too many memories of Cabot. After calming her down, Paul insists they keep looking until they find Cabot, alive and safe. Once Paul's out the door for a meeting, Rosanna schedules a meeting with her private investigator, hoping he has some leads on Cabot.

    Margo makes a visit to Lyla and scolds her mother for lying just to keep Katie from leaving town. Lyla groans that she knows it wasn't right, but after losing Craig and almost losing Casey a few weeks ago, she doesn't think she can handle another loss. As tiresome as Katie is, she chuckles, she needs to keep Katie close to keep a watchful eye on her. Margo protests that now with all the lies surrounding both of them, Katie's going to need a life preserver to keep her from drowning in them. Later, when Margo returns home, Tom asks about how Casey's probation meeting went last week. Margo makes up a story and once Tom makes his way up to bed, she grimaces at the fact that telling the truth is alot easier said than done. She hates the irony of the situation and soon follows Tom to bed, hoping sleep will clear her mind of the fact that she, Lyla, and Katie are all liars.

    Luke goes into Java and sees Jade getting off work. Exhausted from her shift, she sighs that he couldn't have come at a better time; she was just about to call him. After the credit card stunt at Yo's, Colin has been bugging her left and right. She knows he's up to something. Walking through Old Town, they come across Alison. Jade nudges Luke, signaling that this is the perfect time to approach Alison about helping them. Alison is reluctant, but eventually agrees to help them, despite her mild distaste for Jade. After meeting with Luke and Jade, Alison approaches Emily at the Enquirer office. They both are relieved that their love lives are stable again, and hope that Susan will have the same luck once Michael decides to come back to town.

    Lucinda walks into the guest house and meets with Noah and Carrie. She refuses the idea of them using her guest house as a love shack, but Carrie argues that it will only be for a little while; and she'll pay rent. Lucinda agrees and decides to make a quick trip to check on Lily and Holden. Across town, Dusty and Lily are talking about his recent engagement. Lily's glad that Dusty has finally moved on from Jennifer, but muses that she never would have thought he would find love with the woman who kept Johnny a secret from Jennife for so long. Dusty painfully smirks and Lily quickly apologizes. As Dusty bids goodbye, Lucinda waltzes up and asks Dusty what the hell he thinks he's doing. Dusty tells Lucinda not to worry; he didn't tell Lily anything. Out of sight, Lily eavesdrops from the doorway.

    Carly thanks Jack for agreeing to take the kids fishing today, huffing that she has piles of work to do. Jack grins that her stylish designs can wait and invites her out with them. Carly eventually agrees, and the two set out with the kids for the pond. They both giggle at the sight of Sage catching her first fish and her subsequent pity for taking the poor creature out of its home environment after nearly killing it. Jack catches Carly staring at the water and asks her what's on her mind. Carly shrugs nothing, but Jack finally gets her to talk. Her eyes water as she recalls Parker jumping into this very same pond, hellbent on finding him all those years ago. Jack remembers and thinks back to how happy they were before it all went downhill. They were talking about having more kids, Jack smiles. Both look at J.J. and agree that they will always think of him as "theirs". At the door, Carly sends the kids inside to wash up. They plead for Jack to stay, but he protests that he has errands to run. Carly turns to close the door, but Jack holds the door and plants a simple kiss on her cheek. Trembling at his touch, Carly hurriedly thanks him again and closes the door.

    Casey thanks Aaron for standing up for him at Yo's. Aaron shrugs that it was no big deal. He used to deal with scumbags like that when he first came to town and he hates to see them push around anyone else. Later, Alison thanks Aaron herself with a steamy roll in the sack. Meanwhile, across town, Susan's delighted to get a call from Michael, who insists that he'd very much like to pick up where they left off when he returns to town.

    Carrie thanks Noah for a wonderful time and goes inside to find Paul waiting on her. He explains that Barbara has gone out of town and left him in charge of making sure that Carrie has everything out by noon. Carrie's baffled and asks to talk to Barbara herself, but Paul suggests that Carrie just gather her things and go. Later, Carrie knocks on Noah's door and asks if she can live with him for a bit until she finds her own place. Noah agrees, but suggests they okay it with Lucinda in the morning since it is her guest house after all.

    Lucinda's startled when Dusty knocks on her door. She hisses that it's a bit late for him to be coming by, but Dusty elbows his way in. He demands to know why she's so deadset on keeping her history with Clark such a secret. Lucinda informs "Dustin" that it's none of his damn business. Dusty fires back that he has every right to spill all the details to a very skeptical audience of Snyder men, but Lucinda spits back that he wouldn't dare. She would roast him over a fire and serve him with barbecue sauce, she amusingly retorts. Dusty agrees to let the subject rest for now, but foreshadows that he will get the answer to her past with Clark...sooner, rather than later.

    Margo is stunned to learn of Katie's pregnancy and later visits her sister while Brad is taping at WOAK. Katie tries not to give Margo a "yes" or "no" answer to her interrogation style questioning. Katie finally breaks and admits that she's not pregnant. She only said she was to keep Brad from taking a job out of town once she learned Lyla's cancer had come back. But now that she knows Lyla was faking her cancer returning, she has to come up with something to tell Brad. Margo scolds Katie and advises her that telling the truth would be the best thing.

    Alison's shocked when Aaron points out that he knows his jealousy nearly ended their relationship and he wants to make it right by hanging out with Alison and Casey more. Maybe more time together will help him see the good friend that Alison sees in Casey, he proposes. Alison tells him of a mixer at Yo's tonight and asks him if he wants to go with her and Casey. Later, Casey almost backs out when he learns Aaron's tagging along, but eventually gives in. At Yo's, a douchebag college student keeps calling Casey "jailbird" and Aaron stands up for him, leaving both Casey and Alison surprised.

    Kevin, Luke, Jade, and Colin all decide to go to the mixer at Yo's as well. Colin gets a bit too drunk and starts making moves on every girl in the bar. Jade scoffs at what a pig he is and she and Luke again start formulating a plan. They decide that if Colin is so interested in the wealth of the Walsh's, maybe Jade should start acting like she has some of it, too. Later, Colin's eyes grow wide when Jade slaps her credit card down at the bar and offers to buy a round of drinks for everyone. Meanwhile, Carrie and Noah appear at the door. The two act civil towards Luke. Later, Luke confides in Kevin that he knows he and Noah are over and he's moved on with Kevin, but it still hurts to see Noah with the girl who split them up.

    Rosanna finds Jack working on Emma's refrigerator at the farm. Jack reveals that Clark and Emma went house hunting so if he wants to meet Emma's new boyfriend, she'll have to come back another time. Rosanna denies she came for Clark and says she came to speak with Jack. She asks Jack if he can get in touch with the FBI and see if there are any leads on Cabot. Jack agrees, sincerely expressing his hope that Rosanna finds her son. He grimaces when Rosanna brings up Carly. She thinks that all Carly needs is a little nudge to fall back in his arms. Jack thanks Rosanna for her concern, but chuckles that he and Carly are past reconciliation. Later, Jack comes across an old photo of him and Carly and thinks that maybe Rosanna's right; it's worth a shot.

    Katie's stunned to learn that her mother was lying all this time about her cancer returning. Lyla argues that she only did it because she was afraid to lose Katie, especially so soon after losing Craig. Katie rails that her mother had no room to lie like she did. However, Lyla soon turns the tables and laughs that Katie did the same thing by lying to Brad that she's pregnant. She must not have wanted to leave Lyla's side, either. Both women agree they should share their feeling with one another from now on and contemplate how they can get themselves out of this jam without tipping off Brad. Meanwhile, Brad excitedly shares with Margo that he and Katie are having a baby.

    Holden, Jack, and Lily meet with Dusty, who lies and tells them that Clark's past came up clean. Lily begs Jack and Holden to let this go. Later, Holden runs into Clark and is surprised to learn that he's moving to Oakdale to be closer to Emma. Once Lucinda learns of the development from Holden, though, she doesn't like the idea very much. Across town, Clark arrives at the Snyder farm and gets acquainted with Luke. Clark notices something familiar about Luke and chuckles that he looks just like a male version of his childhood girlfriend.

    Paul gives Carrie a cold glance as he passes her in the hallway of Barbara's petnhouse. Noah asks Carrie why Paul takes all that she does from Paul and she admits that she's used to jerks. Ever since she was a small child, all she's had in her life are jerks. The one man that did love her disappeared and she doesn't know where he is. Meanwhile, Paul once again proposes that Barbara cut her losses and let the poor girl go. When Lisa arrives to collect a check for her housing at the Lakeview, Barbara vents to her old friend about Paul's frustration with Carrie and shrugs that she thinks Paul doesn't like her because she had a close connection to James. Once Lisa hears that Carrie was once connected to James, she fears her friend is being too trusting with Carrie.

    Rosanna arrives at Old Town to do some shopping with Carly. Carly admits that she thought this might get Rosanna's mind off of things. Rosanna recalls that Cabot is out there somewhere and she won't stop searching until she brings him home to her. Carly reveals that Jack said some very nice things about her to Will the other day. In fact, she muses, she should have just re-ignited things with Jack the second they got freed from that storage shed, but she didn't out of fear for giving the kids false hope of a reunion that might very well end in heartbreak again.

    Luke meets up with Jade at Donovan's. Jade explains that they couldn't meet at Java because Colin is working today. As Alison eavesdrops, Jade and Luke formulate a plan to expose Colin as the wolf in sheep's clothing that he is. Luke notices Alison listening and suggests that they use her as a decoy to get to Colin. After leaving work, Alison runs into Casey. The two decide that maybe distancing themselves, but staying friends, might help Aaron's jealousy problem. Later, Alison approaches Aaron and explains that she and Casey have decided to spend more time apart to potentially reduce Aaron's jealousy. She's shocked when Aaron argues against it and suggests they all three start spending more time together.

    Lyla's upset when Michael calls the house looking for Katie. He wants to explain his reasons for leaving town; he just needed some time to himself. Lyla hisses for him not to bother returning to town; Katie and the whole town of Oakdale is better off without him. Brad and Katie make an appearance and Brad suggests that she tell her mother the good news. Lyla's shocked when Katie announces she and Brad are expecting, and fakes enthusiasm for the couple. Later, with Brad nowhere in sight, Lyla reveals that she knows just what Katie's doing...and she won't allow it. When Katie puts up a fight, Lyla finally comes clean and tells Katie that her cancer isn't back; she only said that for her own selfish reason: to keep Katie from leaving her.

    After Jack escorts Will home, Carly calls by and warns Gwen that her husband has been looking for her. Gwen doesn't know what to do with Will anymore and fears for her safety and for Hallie's. Carly maternally scolds her sister for thinking such a thing; Will would never even think about harming Gwen or the baby. When Jack returns, Carly thanks him for all his effort in making her family at peace again and rewards him with a kiss on the cheek. Later, Jack confides in Holden that he keeps getting mixed signals from Carly. Holden advises his cousin to go after her. The subject of Clark comes up and Holden informs Jack that Lily has asked Dusty to look into it. Jack isn't pleased with the news and wishes Dusty wasn't interfering in such a private family matter.

    Dusty knocks on the door at Lucinda's and the two make small chat about Worldwide's tremendous rebound since Craig nearly sank it. Dusty is glad the bastard is dead and gone and has hope that Lucy will return Johnny once she learns of her father's death. Dusty realizes that Lucinda hasn't spoken with Lucy in quite some time and apologizes for being so insensitive. Lucinda changes the subject and asks what brings Dusty by. Dusty reveals that he knows that she knows Clark; and he knows why she wants to keep it under wraps. Lucinda calls his bluff and Dusty reveals that Clark was her childhood sweetheart from her Mary Ellen days in Peoria. Lucinda is shocked and in an emotional rage, she orders Dusty out of her study, but not before striking fear into his heart by forbidding him from telling anyone.

    After dinner is over, Bob heads out to the hospital on an emergency page. Kim finds Nancy helping Chris pack his things. She moans that she wishes he didn't have to leave so soon, but her son playfully reminds her that he has a plane to catch. Kim kisses her son goodbye before thanking him for what he's done. The concern he has shown for his parents has helped them tremendously. Chris admits that he's still very worried about them and doesn't want them to seperate over such frivolous things. Kim promises to keep her tongue in check around Susan. As the two get ready to go to the airport, Nancy offers to walk Chris out to the car. With Kim in the car waiting, Nancy touches her grandson's cheek and reminds him just how proud she is of him; and Chris Sr. would be, too. She knows it because she can feel his smile surrounding them right now. Chris and Nancy both choek back tears as Nancy tells Chris that he may have made a mistake in what he did, but he's a better, wiser man now because of it. Chris thanks Nancy and kisses her goodbye before ducking into the car with Kim. Nancy waves as she watches them drive away.

    At the hospital, Bob's busy with patients from a bus incident when Chris comes through and says goodbye. Bob remarks how he has forgiven Chris, despite his initial feelings of anger, hurt, and betrayal. Chris disappointedly confesses that he knows he hurt Bob, but if he could change it, he would. Bob tells him that now is no time for regrets; it's happened and now, it's in the past. The father and son share an extremely emotion-filled goodbye as Kim looks on. Susan happens upon them, spots Kim, and groans that she'll come back. Chris stops her and tells her that his mother has something to say to her. "Oh great," she sighs. Kim chokes on her pride and holds out her hand, explaining that she's let a 20 year grudge nearly destroy her marriage and she's ready to send the past where it belongs..in the past. Susan calls her on it, recalling that they called truce months ago before Kim started interfering in hers and Michael's relationship. Kim gives Chris an infuriated look, but he reminds her with a glance why she's doing this by looking at himself and then Bob.

    Kim takes her hand and jolts it forward again, asking that this time, they calls a real truce. Never again will the past be mentioned, she swears. She nearly suffocates when spitting out that she acknowledges that Susan is one of Bob's best friends and colleagues and she's not going to stand in the way of that. The past is in the past, she repeats. Finally, a reluctant Susan shakes her hand before dismissing herself from the akward situation. Chris grabs Bob and Kim and drapes his arms over their shoulders, with him in the middle and Bob and Kim on each side. As they walk down the hall, Chris teases, "Now that wasn's so hard was it?" Kim replies, "Oh, the things I do for you, Christopher!" The three laugh as they walk out of Memorial and head towards the airport.

    Alison rolls over, pushing the hair out of her face and pulling the cover up over her bare breasts. She giggles like a schoolgirl at the sight of Aaron sprawled out butt naked on the bed. She quickly dresses and softly sighs to Aaron that she's leaving. He does nothing except scratch his chest and groan before finally rolling over. Alison leaves and immediately, reports for work at Donovan's. She soon comes face to face with her mother. Susan informs her that Chris has left town and made his mother call another truce before doing so. Alison's distraught that Chris left town without telling her goodbye, recalling that she wanted to talk to him again. Susan's still baffled by what just happened between her and Kim. Alison admits that maybe, somewhere deep down, Kim cares enough for the survival of her marriage to truly mean it this time. Susan changes the subject back to Chris and asks what he and Alison chatted about. Alison recalls Chris having some wise words when it came to excusing Aaron's wild behavior and jealousy of Casey. "He said that for Aaron to go that out of the way, for him to really be that jealous," she explains, "than it must answer my question I've had for as long as Aaron and I have been together: Am I really good enough for him?" Susan agrees that if Aaron didn't love Alison, he would have never acted that way. Alison smiles at the twisted irony of the situation. Later, Aaron confides in Holden that he thinks he and Alison are on the way to recovery. Holden muses that it might be so, but in order for that to happen, he's going to have to rid himself of his jealousy with Casey.

    Kim receives an urgent page from Chris to come to the house. Upon arrival, she discovers that she's been set up. The dinner table is set, Chris and Nancy have cooked Kim's favorite, and Bob is sitting at the table. Although reluctant, Kim finally sits down to the table to eat. Chris and Nancy take their cue and exit. Bob comments how nice the meal is and Kim's doubtful that Bob didn't know. Bob argues that he got the same urgent page from Chris and Kim seems satisifed with his defense. The two begin to eat while Nancy and Chris eavesdrop from the hallway. Kim admits that she misses Bob. In turn, Bob recalls that Kim's the one that's distanced herself. Through tears, she admits that she knows that they have alot of things to work out, but she's willing to give this all another try. Bob grins that he'd like that very much. Nancy and Chris high-five to their success and retreat to the living room.

    Aaron gets a bit excited when he sees Alison walk through the door of the apartment, but soon reminds himself that he's in the process of moving out of her apartment. From the hall, she calls out, wondering if he's done yet. She'd like to take a shower. He tells her that he likes just a few minutes. He sits on the bed and re-plays Casey walking in and finding the box of mail from Gabe. It kills him how deceitful he's become and inwardly cracks that it's something he could picture Alison doing, but never himself. He quickly strolls to the bathroom to grab his toothbrush, calling out for Alison through the noise of the shower that he's leaving. He thinks he hears Alison call his name and inches closer to the shower to get a better listen. He folds back the curtain, making Alison scream. Knowing that it's now or never, Aaron spontaneously jumps into the shower, fully clothed, with Alison. As the steam rises, passions gets the better of the two and before long, Aaron's pulling his clingy, wet shirt off and passionately kissing Alison.

    Driving along, Dusty sees Noah broke down on the side of the road. He pulls over and helps his old friend change his tire while the two play catch up. Noah's stunned to hear that Dusty's marrying Emily and admits that he could never marry someone who took him hostage and almost killed him. Flashing back to that dark cabin from just a year ago, Dusty flinches at the memory and bids adieu to Noah. Meeting Emily for coffee at Java, he keeps re-playing that horrific memory in his head. Emily notices he's being distant and calls him on his non-sociable attitude. Dusty pawns it off to being exhausted and retreats back home. When Lily appears, wondering if Dusty can do some P.I. work for her on Clark, Dusty admits to her that he thinks he's having second thoughts about marrying Emily. Lily urges her old friend to follow his heart, not his head. If Emily can forget and forgive Dusty for all his past mistakes, then surely he can forget and forgive Emily for what she's done in the past.

    Noah thanks Dusty for his help and continues onward to Barbara's penthouse. Scurrying around with designs, Barbara growls that Carrie isn't home. Noah decides to wait and makes small talk with Barbara while he waits. He praises Carrie for all her hard work and gushes that she's been more than ecstatic to work with her idol Barbara Ryan. Barbara fakes a touched glance and retreats to her office for a quick conference call, ordering Noah to make himself at home while he waits for Carrie. As he strolls along the lush penthouse, he notices several photos of Barbara with Jennifer and recalls how Carrie revealed to him that she's Jennifer's half-sister. When Carrie arrives, Noah once again urges her to make herself known to Barbara for who she really is. Carrie defends that Barbara will find out in time and politely asks for him not to bring it up anymore. End of conversation, she scolds.

    Jack drives up to Carly's, dropping off J.J., when he notices Will outside hassling Sage. Sage hollers for Will to go home as Will stumbles and almost falls on the poor girl. Jack quickly snatches a very intoxicated Will and drags him into a cold shoulder. After he's dried a little, Will half-soberly moans that he was just trying to find Gwen. Jack reprimands him, stating that Hal's probably looking down on his son and frowning. He reminds the youth that he's in this position because of what he did to Iris. Coming home from an exhaustive day at work, Carly makes up her way upstairs and overhears Jack telling Will that it's not his job to "fix" Gwen's life. Jack tried to do that for Carly, and they ended up breaking up because of it. Hal once told Jack he needed to "let Carly be Carly", and Jack is passing on that advice to Will. Will needs to let Gwen make her own decisions. His job is to be there for her---through the good or the bad. Carly, quite impressed, shows a slight smile as she listens.

    Thursday

    Susan approaches Bob at work to discuss an elderly patient about to forego a risky surgery. Chris interrupts the two and asks to speak with Bob. Jumping to conclusions, Bob blasts his son for being like his mother and thinking there's something more to him and Susan than just friendship. Chris denies he was thinking anything like that. A pause in the conversation amplifies the conversation between two nurses in the hall, commenting that they thought Dr. Chris Hughes was in jail for trying to kill his father. Bob scolds the nurses and sends them on their way. Chris echoes that they're right; he does deserve to still be in jail. Bob escorts Chris into his office, where he openly apologizes to his father for letting power get to his head and doing what he did. Chris knows that his arrest was the main reason that his parent's marriage started to crack. Bob agrees that in those first few months, he wasn't himself. He was so full of anger and resentment that he pushed away Kim. For some reason, he felt he could confide in Susan as a colleague, and that's when everything went downhill. Chris announces that he's leaving town in the next day or so and would love to have one meal with his parents, just for old time's sake. Bob thinks it's a good idea, but huffs that Kim might not like that idea very much. Chris promises to talk to his mother and leaves.

    Emma paces the floor before finally gathering the energy to confront her son. She admits that she never expected such behavior from him; she was shocked, actually. Holden defends that he got worried after her unteenth trip out of town and feared that she was bailing out on her family. Emma scoffs and says that they're all grown ups; she doesn't know why she always has to be there to pick up their mess. After they all turned 18, she thought she'd only see them on rare occasions. Instead, they've been waltzing in and out of her home for decades. Holden never knew she felt that way. Emma declares that the final nail in the coffin was when she watched her own daughter lie about being pregnant just to keep the town scumbag, Paul Ryan, in her grasp. After that, she needed to get away and Clark was the only one that she felt actually appreciated her. Faith comes in and bluntly asks if Emma has a boyfriend. Emma forces a slight smile, seemingly agitated, but Holden addresses Faith that it's none of their business. After Faith leaves, Emma notes the irony that he can tell his own daughter that it's none of her business, but yet he's the one that interfered in his mother's business and invited Clark to town under false pretenses. Holden takes the scolding in stride and promises that he's learned his lesson. Finally, he concludes, that all he wants is for Emma to be happy. And if seeing Clark makes her happy, then she has his support. Tears streaming, she thanks her son for finally acknowledging his mistake and hugs him. Holden comments that Harvey would have wanted her to move on and by now, he's probably breathing a sigh of relief. They both share a hearty laugh and hug again.

    Pulling the hair back out of her face, Lily looks up to see her mother enter Java. They both look across the room and see Jade dilligently working. Lily's glad that her niece is getting back on her feet. Lucinda smiles and agrees that she's glad Jade isn't stirring up as mcuh trouble as she did before. Perhaps, she suggests, Jade has really turned around. Lily asks what her mother wanted when she called and Lucinda reveals that she wants to know everything about Emma and her new boyfriend. Lily's confused and asks when her mother became so interested in town gossip. Lucinda shrugs that she and Emma have never seen eye to eye, but she at least wants to see the woman happy. Lily admits that she doesn't know much about Clark Allan. She only knows that he's supposedly very wealthy and makes Emma very happy. Lucinda stares and asks if that's all that Lily knows. Again confused by her mother's curiousity and asks her what she knows that she's not telling. Lucinda maintains that she knows just as much, if not less, than what Lily knows. Jack saunters in and sits down with Lily and Lucinda, glad to hear that they're talking about Clark. As it turns out, Jack has just done a background check on Clark and his past is clean as a whistle. Still convinced that he's up to no good, Jack's determined to continue his search into Clark's past. Fidgeting in her seat, Lucinda hisses for Jack to leave the poor man alone. Later, after Lucinda has left, Lily tells Jack that she thinks Lucinda might know Clark.

    Susan pauses as she drives up her driveway and sees Aaron sitting outisde on the front porch swing. Aaron's glad to see her and tells her that she needs to talk to Alison for him. Susan grumbles that she's done with doing his dirty work. Aaron insists that he's only trying to make Alison see how sorry he is. Susan demands that if Aaron wants Alison to see that he's sorry, he should just leave her alone. She'll come back to him when she's ready. Meanwhile, Alison finishes up her shift at the hospital and stumbles upon Chris leaving his father's office. Alison says she's sorry for bringing him into the middle of hers and Aaron's drama. Chris chuckles that it's perfectly alright, as long as Aaron doesn't hold a grudge against him for playing along. Alison grunts that Aaron has no room to be holding grudges. Walking to the parking garage, the two briefly discuss how Casey is holding up before changing the subject to Bob and Kim. Alison recalls that Kim has had some harsh words for Susan in the past. Bob is Susan's friend, Alison quips. If Kim would only realize that there's nothing between Bob and Susan anymore, the problem would be solved. Chris grimaces that the problem is deeper than that. His parents' marriage is on the verge of non-existence because of him. Alison comforts Chris and denies that Chris is to blame. Chris knows different, though, and vows to make his parents reunite, one way or another, before he leaves town.

    Wednesday

    Margo exits the police station in just enough time to run into Casey. He suggests they go get a bite to eat and Margo agrees. At Al's, Casey tells his mom that she really didn't have to cover for him like she did. Margo realizes that what she did was wrong, especially since she's the chief of detectives, but wants Casey to stay out of jail. She knows he only did what he did because of his rage towards Aaron, but asks her son to find her and talk to her if something happens again. The two then switch topics to Tom. Casey wonders what his father will say, but Margo concludes that she'll deal with his father. Later, Casey runs into Alison in OldTown and does his best to avoid her. Alison is hurt that Casey won't even look her in the face and vocally damns Aaron for what he did. Casey retorts that Alison's just as gulity for taking the pictures and letters and hiding them from him. Alison defends her actions and explains that she knew seeing that stuff would only add to the emotional distress Casey's already under. She was only looking out for him, she says. Later, Aaron tracks Alison down at Donovan's and demands to know why she keeps ignoring his calls. Furious, Alison recalls that Aaron is the reason that Casey won't even look her in the face. Getting up to go, she splashes a drink in his face and from the door, calls out for him to get his stuff from the apartment by the end of the day.

    On her way out, Alison runs into Chris. Seeing an opportunity to play catch up and ruffle Aaron's feathers in the process, Alison invites Chris into Donovan's for a quick drink. He agrees and they head inside. Aaron turns around to see Alison re-entering with Chris in tow. Angry, he confronts Alison and informs her that she's just making things worse for them. Ignoring him, Alison proposes to Chris that they find a quiet corner booth. Once they sit, Chris notices Aaron's intense staring and asks aloud if Alison is using him to make Aaron jealous. Eventually, she admits that it's part of her reason for asking him to sit with her, but she also wants to know what he's been up to since he's been released. Chris sighs that he's been working hard to get everything back to normal between his parents. That must be a tough task, Alison guesses. Chris asks what the deal is between her and Aaron. After getting filled in, he urges Alison to just let it go. Aaron was jealous, and even though he took it to an extreme, that should prove to Alison what she's always wondered about...if she's good enough for Aaron. Surely she must be, he explains, for Aaron to be so jealous and act the way he did, no matter how wrong it was.

    Emma thanks her family for coming together like this. She explains that she has alot of things to say to them all, and this is the perfect opportunity for her to say it. Lily calms her down and tells her that they all gathered here so they could show their support for Emma. Carly interjects that she thinks it's great that Emma's moved on with Clark. She makes the point that Emma has lived too long acting like Harvey is going to walk in the door, and there's a time you just have to let the past go. Jack winces at the stinging, underlying meaning of Carly's last line. Emma replies that she's thankful that they're all worried about her so much, but the main reason she didn't bring Clark around to begin with was because she was afraid something like this would happen. For years, she has sat back and given advice to family member after family member and watched them all as they intefered in each other's lives. And in the end, all it did was cause even more heartbreak.

    Emma sheds a tear as she explains that for once, she was happy just being someone else...getting away from it all and being with Clark and no one but Clark. But now, they've done what they all do best...interfered in someone else's life. She continues that now thanks to their prying ways, they might have possibly scared Clark away. Later, Luke shares a warm moment with Emma in which he tells her that he wants her to be happy. That's all that matters to him. Meanwhile, Jack pulls Carly to the side and voices his opinion that he thinks Clark might be up to no good. Despite Carly's objections, he heads off, determined to have a background check done. Carly goes over with Lily to apologize to Emma for possibly coming between her and Clark. After everyone trickles out, the only ones left in the room are Holden and Emma. Emma gives Holden a mother's scolding glare as Holden sits down and prepares himself for a good, old fashioned talkin' to.

    Tuesday

    The next morning, Brad still can't believe that Katie is pregnant. Katie seems shaken about lying to Brad in order to hault their plans to leave Oakdale and doesn't say much. When Lyla emerges from the bedroom, Brad urges Katie to break the news to her. Katie decides against it. She claims it would only devastate her mother even more if she knew that she was inheriting a grandchild, especially since she recently found out her cancer has returned. Brad's in shock at the news, recalling that the doctors had so much hope for Lyla to stay in remission. Brad jets off for Emma's and invites Katie along, but she declines. With Brad out of the house, Katie folds her arms against her head and wonders what she was thinking by lying to Brad.

    Lucinda comes by the guesthouse to see if Luke has any news on Noah. Luke comments that he hasn't heard anything and Lucinda leaves to seek answers from Barbara. Kevin comes out of the shower and is very short with Luke when he asks what his plans are for the day. Frustrated by Kevin's attitude, Luke calls him on it and Kevin finally reveals that he didn't take too kindly to Luke rushing to Noah's side at the hospital. Luke defends his actions and admits that he and Noah might not be together anymore, but he still cares what happens to him. Later, Jade drops by and tells Luke that she's been very hesitant towards Colin and now that she knows he's her adoptive brother, she doesn't know if she can keep living with him. He's starting to think they're more than friends, she explains. Luke laughs and tells Jade that they need to come up with a plan that will trip Colin up. Jade interjects that she thinks she knows what to do just as Luke stops her. In a hurry, he reveals that he forgot all about the family meeting at the farm and rushes out.

    After spending the night on the couch, Noah finds Carrie in the bathroom getting dressed. Assuming she's going to work, Noah gasps that she can't be serious; Barbara can't be demanding her to go to work not even 12 hours after she was almost killed. Carrie replies that she's not going to work, but she is going with Barbara to the reading of James's will. In the other room, Lucinda appears and asks Barbara if she's heard anything from Noah. Noah emerges just as Barbara slightly grumbles for Lucinda to see for herself. Happy to see him, Lucinda hugs Noah and tells him that she's put someone else on the account that he was working so hard on. Knowing that Barbara and Carrie will be gone, Noah insists he get back to work to keep his mind off of things. Lucinda reluctantly agrees, and later shows up to Lily's and learns that Emma has a new boyfriend. When Lily mentions the man's name, Clark Allan, Lucinda gasps.

    At the will reading, Paul fidgets in his chair as Barbara saunters in with Carrie in tow. Immediately, Paul brings Barbara to the side and asks if Carrie should be resting. Barbara accuses Paul of not wanting her here. She recalls that James and Carrie had some sort of connection, business or friendly, and she wanted to honor that connection by bringing her. Paul, fearful that James might spill the beans on Carrie's identity in his will somehow, is adamant that Carrie go home and get some rest, but Carrie quietly rebutts that she's fine. The lawyer starts to read the will and explains that James has left 50% of his almost-bankrupt estate to Barbara and the other 50% to Paul. Meanwhile, the lawyer adds, James has left Carrie a manila envelope with information inside. After she is gone back home, Barbara and Paul wonder aloud what could possibly be in the envelope that he left to Carrie. Across town, Carrie rips through the envelope, pulls out a birth certificate along with some documents, and faints.

    Ruffling through the morning paper, Holden puts it down when he sees Jack, Carly, and Brad come in the door, almost simultaneously. Holden explains that Aaron couldn't come, but he's glad they showed up. Stomach grumbling, Brad heads for the fridge as Jack questions Holden about the meeting. Holden promises that he'll tell everything once Luke has arrived. Waiting, the three sit down at the table and Brad reveals that Katie's pregnant. Jack's happy for the two and remembers how badly Katie has always wanted children. Carly rolls her eyes, disgusted, and goes outside, only to run into Lily. The two friends make small talk when Luke comes up behind them. Lily notices everyone inside and motions for them to follow her inside. Once inside, Holden reveals that for almost a year now, Emma has been sneaking off to meet with a man. The man, Clark Allan, is at best, her new boyfriend, but Emma exploded when she learned of Holden and Lily's plot to get him to come to town. Though the plan worked, Emma's still livid. Holden continues that he thinks that they all need to rally behind Emma and really show their support for the fact that she's moving on in her love life. Just as they all agree to give their blessing and support to her, Emma appears and stops mid-sentence in asking where all the cars outside came from. Realizing what has happened, Emma fumes that she's glad they're all here. She has a few things she needs to say to them all, she huffs.

    Monday

    After a long night at the police station answering questions, Noah and Carrie return to Carrie's section of Barbara's penthouse. There, Carrie finally reveals to Noah that she is the daughter of Darryl Crawford and hence, Jennifer's half-sister. Noah urges her to tell Barbara, but Carrie refuses and starts to tear up. Unable to find any other way to console her, Noah gives her a gentle kiss on the lips. Carrie inwardly recalls making a deal with James, but he never had the chance to fulfill his end of the bargain. She pushes Noah away and after he leaves, she cries herself to sleep. Dreaming, she hears a baby crying but can't find where it is. She wakes up in a hot sweat and again bursts into tears before finally falling back to sleep.

    Margo reaches out her hand to console Barbara over losing James, but she snatches her hand away and huffs that she's glad that bastard is dead. "Maybe this time he'll actually stay dead," Paul adds. Rosanna takes her leave from the interrogation room and outside, runs into Carly. Worried, Carly asks for a quick recap. She's disheartened that James was keeping Cabot from her and even more perplexed that James would act as if he didn't even know where the toddler was. Paul comes out and informs Carly that it's just like James to play mind games and act like he doesn't have something when he really does. Noticing she's upset, Paul offers to drive Rosanna home but Carly demands Paul leave her alone. "You and your father have done enough," Carly snaps.

    As they make their way out, Margo and Barbara emerge from the interrogation room. Barbara can tell Paul's upset. Almost sounding like his father, Paul grumbles that he'll turn up every house in the world if he has to just so he can find Cabot. When Barbara makes a comment about checking on Carrie, Paul insists the girl is no good and urges his mother to kick her out now that James is dead and gone. Barbara replies that the poor girl simply got mixed in with the wrong crowd. James made her empty promises and took her away from her family...now it's her job, she says, to make sure Carrie is taken care of.

    Emma's eyes fume with anger as she asks once again what the hell Holden and Lily think that they're doing. Holden acts like he doesn't know anything, leading Lily to finally cave and admit that they knew about Clark weeks ago. When they found out, they wanted to let Emma know that they approve her decision to move on. Yelling, Emma hurls that she doesn't need their approval for a damn thing. She voices her disappointment in them for interfering in her life. What if the children found out, she asks. Holden says that the children will be fine. They might be shocked at first, but they'll be happy if their grandmother is happy. Emma replies that she still can't believe that they went behind her back like this, or even spied on her in the first place. Her business is her business, she curses, slamming the door behind her. Lily rolls her eyes and tells Holden this was a bad idea from the beginning, but Holden is convinced that Emma's just embarassed and needs to know that her family is supportive of her moving on with someone else. With that, he suggests they plan an impromptu family meeting to declare their support for Emma. Lily's adamant that they not do such a thing and recalls what Emma said about interfering. Holden's mind is made up, though, and he places phone calls to Luke, Jack, and Brad to appear for breakfast at the farm in the morning.

    Katie can't believe what Lyla is saying to her and asks when she found out. Lyla reveals that she's known for a while. That's partly the reason she got so upset when Casey was in the wreck. She's not sure her family can handle another loss. Katie's determined to get her mother to leave town with them, but Lyla insists that her treatment won't allow it. Brad comes home and sees Katie is upset, pacing in the living room. Once she comes face to face with her husband, she recalls all the times that he's made it clear that he doesn't want Lyla to stand in the way of their life together. She knows that if she tells Brad that Lyla's cancer has returned, he'll take it the wrong way and think that Lyla's trying to come between them and their future together. Unable to think of anything else, Katie finally crumbles and lies that she's pregnant.
