As for James, she retorts, the only time she's seen him was at the grand opening for the cancer ward. Barbara comes in amongst the yelling as Paul accuses Carrie of having ulterior motives. Later, after Carrie has long tucked her tail and ran, Barbara blindly accuses Paul of having it out for "that poor girl". Vowing silently to keep James and Carrie's connection from his mother until he has more evidence, he simply tells her that he thought he saw Carrie snooping in Barbara's files and called her out on it. That's all that happened, he concludes, it was all just a big misunderstanding.

Brad offers to call the airline to prove to Katie there's nothing to worry about. While Brad makes the call, Katie tries Michael's phone once more. "It's just not like him to make a sudden change in plans and not let someone know", she tiredly whines.

With no other choice, Katie calls Margo and offers to meet her at WOAK since Margo's there talking with Kim. Once there, Katie explains to her sister that Michael's missing.

In a huff, Katie demands that if Margo's not going to do anything, she will do it herself. Katie storms out while Brad stays behind and hurriedly tells Margo she knows Katie can't conduct a full-on search like her police office sister.

    As Kim embraces Carly, joyous over her safe return, Carly takes notice that the single desk once occupied by Carrie has vanished from Carly's office. Kim remarks that Carrie went to work for Barbara and she accepted Carrie's resignation only because Barbara said she saw potential in the girl. Noting how odd it is that her roommate would quit WOAK without at least telling her, Carly decides that she must have opted not to tell her for fear it might unsettle the joyous relief of being home after a chaotic last week. Later, Paul arrives at WOAK and starts probing Carly to see if she knows any more than what the file says about Carrie. Carly, annoyed, hisses at Paul to leave her alone. Their search failed. If Carrie wanted them to know anything about herself, she would tell them. If not, she might have good reason that she buried her past and started a new future. After Paul leaves, Carly reflects back on her night of steamy lovemaking with Jack and quivers at the thought of his touch. Irritated with herself, she mumbles under her breath how she wishes sometimes that she could do like Carrie did and just start all over with a new life.

He's lost Gwen and Hallie and it's all because of Iris. Will explains that he tried showing his wife that her mother can't be trusted and in the process, he showed her that her husband is the one that can't be trusted. Alison comforts him the best way she can do, relating her experience in trying to intervene in other's relationships.

Just then, Lyla arrives and tells Brad and Katie that Margo called her over to give them a ride home. Furious, Katie asserts that she's not going home until they find Michael.

    As Lily and Holden take a moonlit walk by the Snyder pond, Holden breaks the tension by speaking first. He explains that ever since Jade came to town, he feared Lily's obsession with trying to preserve Rose's memory would follow over into her relationship with her niece. He thought that Jade's questionable antics would cause Lily to blame herself for not being there enough. By bringing Mrs. Taylor to town, he wanted to give Lily a smidgen of reality that Jade's always been mischevious. It's not just something she developed in Oakdale. It's not Lily's fault. Lily thanks Holden for his touching apology, but warns him that her relationship with Rose and Jade is not something to be tampered with.

Aaron remembers, but tells Alison that she's always been one to look past the bad in people and trust their sad sob stories as truth. Alison's shocked to hear him say such a thing. Aaron scoffs and tells Alison that he's going back to Emma's for the night and reminds her to call Dusty about advertisements for the back to school/grand opening bash they're hosting at Dusty's new nightclub. Furious beyond words, Alison snaps that she'll just have Casey help her. Aaron whirls around, gives Alison a deep glare, and races off on his bike.

    Barbara explains that BRO wants to relaunch their teen line, with Carrie as the assistant head designer. The new position means a raise, as well as long hours. Barbara pointedly suggests Carly's house is way too full of children to properly concentrate on work, and offers her the suite adjoining the penthouse. Not only is it quiet, but it will also make it easier for Barbara to mentor her. Elated, Carrie hastily accepts both offers. When Carrie tells Carly's she's moving out, Carly warns her that Barbara's motives are rarely generous and clear-cut. Carrie thanks her for her friendship during some of the worst times of her life. But she also admits it's been being around Hallie since she miscarried not too long ago. Carly sympathizes, and tells Carrie she's welcome to come back anytime.

    Across town, Jack picks Sage up from her dancing lesson. When they arrive at Carly's, Carly vaguely mentions Carrie moving out. Jack doesn't hide his pleasure at the turn of events, assuming that Carrie was asked to leave. Annoyed, Carly quickly informs him Carrie moved out on her own.

    Casey appears late, but nonetheless present, for his meeting with Dusty, Alison, and Aaron.

As Aaron alerts Dusty that Casey was late, Alison rolls her eyes. Dusty warns his new employee not to be late anymore and gives him instructions for the first day of work. While Dusty shows Casey around the new building, Alison scolds Aaron and acccuses him of being jealous of her friendship with Casey.

    Katie wakes up, startled at the sound of a truck door slamming. She raises up and notices Lyla's already at her feet. Katie recalls that Margo went to the station to check on a lead on Michael; and Brad had went with her, vowing to return the moment they found out anything. Katie got up and rushed to the door, joining her mother. "I thought you weren't concerned about Michael," Katie muttered. Lyla explained that she's not, but she would like to know he's alright. He's probably in some cheap motel room or something, Lyla guessed. Just then, Brad emerged from the doorway and asked to speak to the ladies on the couch. Sensing the serious air about him, Katie feared the worst. With a firm look on his face, Brad reported that Michael hasn't been found yet, but they did find Doris...stabbed to death at her house.

    A car whooshes by and almost runs off the road trying to avoid a haggard looking Michael stumbling along on the side of the highway. Out of breath, he takes a seat on an old stump and collects his thoughts. Why did Doris let him go so easily, he wonders. She had to have some ulterior motive. An absence from his wrist makes him double check his attire. Huffing, he notices one of his new monogrammed cufflinks missing. Knowing where it is, Michael groans and almost chuckles at the instinctive thought of going to retrieve it. "She might have let me go the first time, but going back just to get a stinking cufflink would be the end all that ends all", he quietly chuckles. Getting up to continue walking, he watches a cop car speed by. He ducks into the bushes, afraid of Margo possibly seeing him like this. He grimaces at the thought of Lyla, Katie, and Margo's questions if they were to ever learn he was caught by a policeman walking on the side of the road in the middle of the night. This is all an experience he'd much rather pretend never happened. After a while, he notices another cop car speed by and heads towards a bush. Before he can budge, the car screetches to a halt and a bright light shines on his face. "Michael Peretti?" the officer inquires. "Yes", he hesitantly answers. "I think you need to come with me," the cop announces.

    Kevin signs his name and grins at the nurse before turning to face Luke. He's ecstatic to be out of this hellhole, he declares to Luke. Luke smiles and suggests he take his friend home. "No, you've been extremely gracious. I can't. I just can't", Kevin explains. Not taking no for an answer, the two load up in Luke's car and drive off. Kevin shrugs that Luke can just drop him off at the dorm, but Luke explains it's not a good night for his friend to stay alone. "Come with me to the farm", he says. Kevin agrees, but after a while of silence, he starts to change his mind. Luke pulls the car over and lectures Kevin that he was just in a bad accident and he left against the doctor's wishes. They wanted him to stay another night, he reminds. Kevin finally sighs and nods his approval. At Emma's, Luke starts to apologize for the things he said to Kevin the other night, but Kevin cuts him off and heads to bed, citing he's too tired to talk. Emma sympathizes with Luke, but points out that Kevin might need some time to himself. Luke can't believe what a douche he was to Kevin, but he thought he could work things out with Noah. Taking his hand, Emma tells her grandson that he needs to decide who he'd rather be with. Noah or Kevin?

    Barbara arrives home to find Will waiting for her. Barbara rejoices in the fact that she has Susan right where she needs her in order to put her in jail for Hal's death. Will says he's had enough and begs Barbara to drop it. When Barbara shows Will the tape recorder and plays it back, Will grabs it and smashes it into bits on the floor.

    Smiling, Carly opens the door and finds Jack on the other side. She grouchily asks Jack what he wants. Jack replies that he's not done with their previous conversation from last night. Carly quickly sends Sage upstairs to deliver one of Hallie's toys. Once she's out of earshot, Carly matter-of-factly reminds Jack this is her house. Who stays---who goes---is her decision. Jack stares at her for a moment, then asks if she wants him to leave.

    Katie stirs and immediately recollects last night's events. Brad comforts her while Lyla answers a call from Margo. After she hangs up, she informs Katie and Brad that Michael has been found and brought into the station. Brad reminds his new wife that Doris was originally presumed dead, but they were able to find a faint pulse and she's now hanging by a thread at Memorial.

    As the officer brings Michael into the station, he meets a solemn gaze from Margo. She immediately asks her late stepfather's brother where he was last night. Michael's stunned at how low and mellow Margo's voice is and can tell something is wrong. Fiddling with his handcuffs, he asks Margo to explain why they brought him in. Margo shakes her head, begging Michael not to play games. "You know damn well why you're here", she barks. "Michael Peretti, you're under arrest for the attempted murder of Doris Finkle Peretti".

    Sage passes Gwen in the hallway, shoving the toy at her before running into her room and throwing herself on her bed. When Gwen asks her what's wrong, Sage tells her she was sent upstairs so her parents could fight. They do it all the time. Gwen tries to reassure her that her parents just need to discuss things privately. Sage doesn't buy it, and blames Carly for ruining Jack's good mood.

    Not getting an answer, Jack curtly heads for the door. Carly pales, but remains silent. His hand reaches for the doorknob before he marches back, standing toe-to-toe with Carly. Be angry with him, he tells his ex. But stop putting herself in bad situations just to prove him wrong. Her decisions have nothing to do with him, Carly hisses. "Bull," Jack shoots back, recalling warning her about both Sam and Carrie, only to be ignored. Sarcastically, Carly suggests his "warnings" come color-coded, so she knows the difference between "potential psychopath" and and "people who resent being grilled by ex-FBI agents/detectives". Clenching his jaw, Jack mutters Carrie is no longer his concern. Now that she's found another mark. "Great," Carly mocks. Now she can add gullible and stupid to her list of faults. Carly pushes past him, throws the door open, and tells him to get the hell out. Jack stalks away, ignoring the loud slam of the door behind him.

    Indulging in the satisfaction of the moment, Carly looks up to find Gwen staring at her sadly. Embarrassed, Carly apologizes, knowing the last thing Gwen needed to hear was more arguing. Gwen waves it off, telling her it's owed to Sage, who's upstairs miserable. Carly starts upstairs to comfort her daughter, but Gwen blocks her path. She may not to hear this, but Gwen's going to say it anyway. Jack's right---Carly is being spiteful. He loves her---she loves him. Jack's been completely upfront, voicing his concern over issues, but listening to her and including her in anything he does. From where Gwen stands after being repeatedly lied to by her husband, Carly should be on top of the world. Joyfully spending time with the man she loves and their happy children. Instead, Carly's throwing away everything she's ever wanted, for the glory of being "right" about a girl she barely knows. Gwen thinks it's tragic that her sister has become so bitter right in front of her eyes. Speechless, Carly's heart sinks like a stone as Gwen walks away.

    Still unsettled by Gwen's words, Carly tries to clear her head by going for a run. Unable to focus, she gives up halfway through the park, finding a spot near the water's edge to sit. The more she thinks about it, the more annoyed she becomes at Gwen for taking Jack's side. Fuming, she doesn't see Nancy heading her way, until the older lady lays a hand on her shoulder and asks if she needs help. Startled, Carly quickly rises, shaking her head no. Dressed for her power-walk, Nancy gives her a relieved smile. She assumed there was something wrong, since Carly's usually a blur around the park in her running gear.

    Jade and Colin take a seat outside Java laughing and joking. Kevin approaches and asks to speak with Jade alone. Kevin confronts Jade about her hostile attitude towards Luke. Luke has been nothing but good to her, he argues. And now, Jade's shunning him because he wants whats best for her. Jade reminds Kevin that he has no voice in the matter and anything that she wants to say to Luke, she'll say on her own time. Later, Jade runs into Noah. Noah starts quizzing her about Luke, which frustrates her even more. Jade hisses at Noah that if he's so worried about Luke, he should ask Luke himself. All the talk of Luke brings Jade to her breaking point and she whips out her phone to call him. "We need to talk", she orders.

    Awkwardly, Carly steers around her own problems to Nancy, and admits concern about Gwen and Will, who are going through a rough patch. Nancy pats her arm, assuring her everything will work out the way it's meant to. Skeptically, Carly fears this time there's no way they can rebuild the trust between them. Especially after so long. Sensing there are more personal concerns than her sister's at heart, Nancy confides that even her marriage to Chris Sr. required leaps of faith. Looking back, she's grateful for all struggles they went through. It makes her cherish their time together even more. Spotting two power-walking friends, Nancy leaves with a cheer-filled wave.

    Coming through the door of the cottage, Will slings his laptop case on the desk and takes up his usual spot on the couch. Thumbing through the channels on the television, he stops at an E! True Hollywood Story about celebrity divorces. A chill crawls down his spine and Will flashes back to his wife's hateful words. He turns the TV off and decides to scour through the fridge for some leftovers. Picking an old hot pocket out of the door, he closes the refrigerator only to find himself staring face to face with his baby girl. Tenderly, he graps for the picture but becomes startled by a knock on the door.

    In comes Paul, reminding Will that there are people in this world besides Gwen and Hallie that care for him. There's a thing called a cell phone, Paul reminds his little brother. Put off, Will barks for him to go. Paul slightly blames Barbara for Will's problems and remembers a time when Will shared that same insight. However, Paul injects his brother with some reality when he reports that blood is always thicker than water. Just like Will and Barbara, Gwen is attached to Iris no matter how many mistakes she might make. He thought Will might realize that loyalty would exist. Will fumes that Paul has no room to talk and orders him to leave. Long after Paul has left, his brother's words still ring in his ears and Will heads off to find Gwen.
