Emily spins around in her chair as she awaits an important conference call. Susan enters and immediately, Emily throws up her guard. Susan tells Emily that Aaron was the one who vandalized her office. Emily picks up the phone to call the police, but Susan lays her hand over Emily's and tells her that if she wants to make things right, she'll end this once and for all. Emily fires back that Aaron needs to learn to control his anger, but Susan scolds her daughter, telling her that Emily had no right to write an article about Aaron's parents' divorce. He had right to be angry, although he did take it too far. Emily eventually backs down and tells Susan that she's not pressing charges against Aaron solely because she hopes to work things out with Alison and pressing charges against her little sister's boyfriend isn't a good way to do that. Later, Dusty drops by per Emily's request and she tells him that she knows he wrote the retraction. Surprisingly, Emily tells him that it's all worked out for the better. Dusty assures her that she'll be notified of any future changes he might make. Luke, Lily, Holden, Lucinda, and the kids all gather around Emma's kitchen table as she fixes them some snacks. Luke gushes about Noah and wishes his plane would be in sooner. All this waiting is killing him. Lily tells Luke that she hopes he and Noah can work things out and uncover the mole without causing any more problems between them. Noah returns home and Lucinda's the first to greet him. While Noah gives everyone the scoop about his trip, Emma calls Lucinda to the side and warns her that Luke and Noah are headed for disaster if Lucinda continues with her mission to uncover the mole. Lucinda disregards Emma's warning and tells Noah that the mole has leaked another secret to Worldwide's stiffest competitor. Later, Luke and Noah have sex and afterwards, Noah's surprised when Luke urges him to uncover the mole soon so they can get back to doing more of this. Noah smiles. Gabe chuckles when Sofie comes into his office ranting about how Casey won't let her model. Gabe tells her that if she wants to model, she should do it, regardless of Casey's approval. Meanwhile, Casey voices his concern to Tom that he's losing Sofie to Gabe. Tom tells him that if he wants to marry Sofie, he should let her do what's important to her or else she'll run away from him. Later, Casey and Sofie meet up at Java and Sofie informs Casey that she's signing with Elegant Models. Casey's furious, but she warns him that she wants to do this and nothing can stop her. After reluctantly agreeing, Casey runs into Gabe, who brags what a looker Sofie is. Casey punches him and furiously barks for Gabe never to talk about his future wife like that ever again while a frightened and angry Sofie watches. Gwen's put off when Will makes a comment about Iris and walks out with Hallie in tow. Tired of seeing his wife walk out with their daughter now for months on end, Will follows her, determined to find out where Gwen's so-called "walks" have been taking place. He's shocked when he watches his wife pulls into Iris's driveway. He watches Gwen getting out while Iris handles Hallie with a big grin. Fuming, he texts Barbara and tells her he's coming over. Once there, the two communicate via wipe-off boards. Will tells Barbara that for all these months, Gwen's been going behind his back and telling him lies while she's off seeing Iris. Barbara writes, "Then you know what the next step is. It's the only way to make Gwen see reality". With that, Will heads out and meets Stan outside Metro. Will thanks Stan for meeting him and takes him inside. Will formulates a plan for Stan to rob Metro, using Iris as an accomplice. Stan thinks the idea is genius, but upon Will's return to Barbara's, we learn that the plan is fake. Barbara and Will want Stan to set Iris up as an accomplice to a fake robbery, and plan to have Gwen stumble upon the plans and confront Iris, shunning her once and for all.

The doctor gives Katie a clean bill of health and Brad calls Vienna to tell her. Vienna sighs with relief at the news and later learns that the people affected were a group of women in Oakdale. Later, Henry informs Vienna that the hives came from a bad batch of muffins at a bachelorette party. He tells her that she has nothing to worry about, but Vienna breaks down in tears as she laments how she thought this was going to be another of her business ventures gone down the drain. Henry cheers her up by taking her out to Mona Lisa, where the two gush over one another. Meanwhile, back in Miami, Katie tells Brad that the press junket was successful and they even scored some advertisers. They celebrate with a kiss, but the kiss is short-lived when Kim calls about some promos that need to be re-done. It's a quiet dinner at the Snyder farm as Alison and Aaron exchange akward glances from across the table. After dinner, Susan drops by to invite them to the approaching grand opening of the new cancer ward at Memorial. Alison pulls Susan aside and Susan asks if she's confronted Aaron about vandalizing Emily's office. Alison replies that she's still in shock and doesn't know whether or not Aaron could do such a thing. Susan reminds her daughter that people can do some pretty nasty things if they're angry enough. Aaron overhears them talking but waits until Susan leaves to confront Alison. The two get into a heated argument and finally, Aaron admits that he trashed Emily's office and claims he did what everyone in the town of Oakdale has wanted to do at some point. Meanwhile, Emily takes the paper to print and a bright-eyed recpetionist asks how Emily took to Mr. Donovan's a last minute edit to last week's issue. Carly takes J.J. out of the room while a mellow Carrie puts the pictures back under her bed. Carly reprimands J.J. for going through other's things without permission. Carrie apologizes to J.J. for snapping at him like she did. After sending J.J. to his room, Jack brings Parker back from a friend's house. Parker snickers at the fact that J.J. got in trouble while Jack talks to Carly. Carly tells Jack that Carrie seemed a little bitter, but brushes it off as Carrie being a very private person. Later, Jack learns from J.J. that among the photos was one of Barbara, Paul, and Jennifer at an event at Metro. When Jack tells Carly, she writes it off as Carrie admiring Barbara as a designer like Carly herself once did, but Jack is still wary of the whole situation. Rosanna thanks Paul for the drink and returns to Fairwinds. Jack appears and tells Rosanna that he needs her help in getting Carly to see his doubts about Carrie are reasonable. Rosanna admits that she has her own concerns about Carrie. She remembers that Carrie used to work at the Buffalo, NY divison of Cabot Motors and was a great worker until suddenly, her life spiraled out of control and her father made a scene at work. Jack realizes that Rosanna's recollection doesn't jive with the story that Carrie gave him about living in Chicago and wonders what else Carrie has lied about. Casey, Sofie, and Gabe all head out to watch Gabe in action at a photo shoot for Elegant Models. When Casey learns from the model that she used to work as a B.R.O. runway model, he becomes suspicious, recalling the heated conversation he witnessed between Paul and Gabe. Sofie keeps staring in admiration as she watches Gabe bark orders left and right. She's starstruck by the amount of glamour and the glitz and halfway laughs that Gabe should call her if he ever needs a model. Gabe surprisingly takes Sofie up on her offer, but Casey kills the idea flat. Later, Sofie accuses Casey of being jealous of his friend Gabe, which he denies.

Luke shuts down Kevin's request to keep him company while Noah is out of town and calls him out on why he's returned to Oakdale. Kevin justifies that his dad got a job offer in Oakdale and has moved back full time. Luke mentions Noah going to Oakdale U and inserts that he'll be joining his boyfriend at the same college this fall. Kevin's amazed at how closely Luke and Noah have become since he heard they were an item. Luke tells Kevin that he's been away for a while. Kevin apologizes for bringing up the subject of Noah possibly being the mole at Worldwide, but reminds Luke that his mom, Mrs. Davis, used to be a receptionist at Worldwide years ago. Luke forgive his old friend and promises that they're going to find out who the mole is. As they talk, Luke gets a call from Faith, wanting some help at the house, and he runs off to help his sister. As Lily fusses over Faith's choice of wardrobe for a school outing, Luke comes by. Lily's delighted to see her son, but baffled when he wants to speak with Faith alone. Once Lily leaves the room, Luke asks Faith what she needed. She informs her big brother that she had another nightmare about Andrew. Luke promises not to tell, but worried about what these nightmares could do to his already traumatized sister, he later tells Lily. She's upset that Faith didn't tell her herself and tells Holden about Faith's nightmare. Holden agrees that Faith should get some sort of help, but both remember the hell she went through when they sent her to a counselor last time. Brad brings an exhausted Katie back from the press junket and the two crash on the bed. Brad banters away at how he feels as though Katie's been distant from him for far too long. Katie apologizes and blames her distance on family problems. Brad asks Katie if they're still an item and Katie never responds. Looking down, he finds that Katie's cuddled in his arms fast asleep. Brad's startled by a phone call from a frantic, crying Vienna. Unable to talk, Henry takes the phone from her and explains that Vienna's foundation has caused people to develop hives and warns Brad to take Katie to a doctor immediately. Carly calls Jack and tells him not to worry about picking up J.J. for the school field trip, citing a cold for the reason behind his absence from the end of the school year field trip. J.J. comes downstairs and reluctantly consumes some chicken soup. He asks where Carrie is and Carly mentions that she ran to the store to get him some more cold medicine. Once upstairs, J.J. searches for his CD player and recalls Sage taking it into Carrie's room. When Carrie returns home, she's stunned to find J.J. going through a box of old photos tucked under her bed. Carrie yells at J.J. to get out as Carly rushes upstairs. Rosanna recalls Carly sending her on a wild goose chase for a dropped earring yesterday, only for her to run into Paul again. Rosanna laughs as she sorts through paperwork on her clustered desk. She's amused at the fact that Carly calls herself a matchmaker. Done for the day, she drives home and sees someone on the side of the road with a flat tire. As she slows down, she silently snickers at who it is...Paul. He huffs that his spare tire is flat, too, and asks Rosanna for a ride to his place while a tow truck comes to get his car. Rosanna agrees as he jumps in the car, humuorously thanking her for her heroic efforts. Once at his place, Paul invites Rosanna in for a drink. She turns it down, but when he tells her its the least he can do for her generosity, she eventually agrees. Paul raises his glass and toasts....to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Rosanna giggles.

Michael is released from Oakdale Memorial with a few scratches, but in good spirits. Michael asks Margo if there are any leads on his case and she informs him that the only lead that they have is that the car was red. Immediately, Michael knows Doris was the one that run him off the road. Casey and Sofie's romantic day in is interrupted by Tom's early arrival home from a business meeting. Casey grunts that he knew moving in with his parents was a bad idea and gripes to Sofie that they'll never have time to themselves. Lisa stops by and apologizes to Sofie for her words the other day at the cookout, but Casey stops her short when he says Margo should be the one apologizing. Later, Casey recalls Gabe's harsh talk with Paul and wonders why Paul was so mad. Noah runs into Carrie on his way to the gym. Unable to run, Carrie must face Noah's tough questions. Noah grills Carrie and wonders aloud if she had the abortion. Carrie slaps Noah after a heated exchange in which he calls her a slut. Later, Luke notices Noah's agressive nature and calls him on it, but Noah disregards his bad mood as school-related. Rosanna and Carly suggest sending the kids with Jack for the day so they can have some sister/sister bonding time. Carly's thrilled with the idea and the two go shopping. When Rosanna and Paul run into one another, tensions is high and Rosanna cuts their talk short. But when the two sisters get the car, Carly sends Rosanna back to fetch a lost item, knowing that a second run-in with Paul is inevitable. Lucinda calls Luke and Noah into her study at the mansion and for the first time, Noah is briefed on the fact that someone posed as him on the internet over the weekend and outed him as the mole. Noah persuades Lucinda to give him a chance to prove that he's not the mole and that Sherry is, and Lucinda agrees. Later, Noah learns he has to go to Ohio for a conference. Meanwhile, Kevin invites himself over to keep Luke company while Noah's gone.

Forgive her for feeling down...lol....her brother just died, her mom's battling cancer, her uncle returned bringing up memories of a less-than-glorious fatherless childhood and who has now been run off the road, and her love life is in a rut. The only thing she's got going for her are supporting ViCE and her troubled sometimes fling with Brad. LOL. IMO, to make this character feel empathy from the audience again, for fans to truly care for her once more, they have to see her at the lowest of low and work her way gradually up the ladder to a place of happiness and contentment.

I love the mystery of Cassie and the dark-haired man. So intriguing!!!! For a while, I thought it was gonna turn out that Cassie wasn't really a woman, then I thought Hunter was about to get his face bashed in, then I thought the man beat Cassie (his wife?), then I just stopped trying to figure it out. LOL!!! Good job at keeping the mystery so intense and so intriguing, Ryan! Ric/Alexis..... *shakes head sympathetically*

Sofie informs Casey that his mother confronted her yesterday at the cookout. Casey's peeved when he hears that everyone thought Gabe and Sofie were an item. Gabe arrives and Casey lies, telling Gabe that a showering Sofie went out of town for a family reunion. Once Sofie returns, Casey hushes her pleas to go to Mona Lisa by fixing a nice candlelight dinner for the two of them. Emily arrives at The Intruder offices to find that the place has been vandalized. One of the officers gets an attitude with Emily because of a story she wrote about his affair. Dusty comes in and tells the angry officer to back off before he calls Lt. Hughes. Emily thanks Dusty for coming to her rescue, but Dusty tells her he only stopped by because he wanted to make sure she was alright. Alison learns of the break-in and unintentionally stumbles upon finds suspicious items in Aaron's bag, making her believe Aaron vandalized the office of The Intruder. Brad waits until Katie walks into the lobby at the hotel in Florida and confronts her. Brad tells Katie that he followed her all the way here because he couldn't let her leave without letting her know how much he loves her. Katie fights her feelings and puts on a strong front when Margo calls with the news about Michael getting run off the road. Although Margo assures Katie that her uncle is perfectly fine, Katie still worries. Brad sees how distraught Katie is and insists on driving her to the press junket in Miami. Barbara meets up with Stan and unable to talk, writes a note telling him that his money will be deposited in an offshore account as soon as he convinces Iris to leave Oakdale with him. Stan agrees to the terms and returns to tell Iris that Phase 1 of his grand plan to swindle Metro out of thousands starts today. Meanwhile, Paul tells Barbara that Elegant Models has hired yet another of B.R.O.'s models. While Paul angrily confronts Gabe about stealing another model, Casey watches from afar. Lucinda calls Luke into her office and tells Luke that she has no choice but to fire Noah, upon learning that he appeared in a chat room over the holiday weekend and outed himself as the mole. Luke begs Lucinda to re-think her decision and informs Lucinda that Noah was with him all day yesterday. Meanwhile, Sherry listens in on the conversation and gets caught by Lily. Sherry defends herself to a curious Lily, who doesn't mention the snooping intern to her mother on account of feeling sorry for the poor girl.

I think your line of thinking is exactly how Jack is seeing this. Carly works with this girl and the second that Carly finds out Carrie's alone and pregnant, she sympathizes with her and invites her to move into ChezCarly. It's a bit too much for Jack's mind to wrap around. But in Carly's mind, she sees Carrie as an altered version of a young Carly. Carly didn't have many friends when she became pregnant with Nora (a child she miscarried thanks to Rosanna) and she was a bit "out there"...didn't know what to do, where to go. Everyone that had cared for her in the past had somehow been burnt by Carly and had turned their back. Carly, I think, doesn't want to see Carrie ostracized the way she was. Yes, she might not know that much about her, but she still feels like she somehow owes Carrie. After all, she made her life a living hell before she discovered Carrie was preggers. The least she can do is offer this girl her shoulder. And actually, when you look at it in a historical perspective, Oakdale has had its share of fair citizens inviting in strays. LOL

Tom and Margo invite Sofie, Casey, Kim, Bob, Nancy, Lisa, and Gabe over for an impromptu family Memorial Day hamburger lunch. Lisa comments on Sofie and Gabe's obvious attraction to one another, intriguing Margo. Margo tells Sofie that if she plans on letting down Casey, she should do it now before anyone gets hurt. Across town, the Snyders have a small get together and they all discuss Meg's progress. Carly defends Rosanna to Emma while Jack corners Carrie. Carrie tells Jack that her past is one that she would rather not talk about. Carrie returns and tells Carly that if Jack continues bringing up her past, she'll have no choice but to leave Oakdale. An intrigued but agitated Carly hisses for Jack to leave Carrie alone, but makes no mention of Jack's actions the previous night. Aaron shares his fears with Holden that Caleb's return to Oakdale will only start a feud between the Snyders and the Stewarts. Aaron voices his concern that said feud would be the end of his relationship with Alison. Parker and Faith skip out on the family event and go for a walk. Faith confides in Parker that she blames Lily for her family being as dysfunctional as it is. Susan makes preparations to move Michael into a private room. Michael can't remember anything from the accident and starts getting agitated. Susan calms him down and when the IV cord gets tangled, the two end up in a brief, akward peck. Meanwhile, Katie remains unaware that Brad is in the seat behind her. Katie confides in a sleeping old man beside her that she's falling in love with someone. When the plane touches down, Brad reveals himself to Katie and she angrily slaps him for not trusting her and following her all the way to Florida. Noah and Luke spend a quiet day together and run into Iris. After Iris leaves, they make notice of the man following behind her. Luke learns from Kevin that rumors are saying Noah is the mole at Worldwide. Iris turns around and sees Stan has been following her. Stan counters that he'll leave her alone when she decides to help him in his plans to rob Metro.

Kim praises Vienna and Katie for their cross-promotion of ViCE and Oakdale Now. Henry thinks that they need an official headquarters if they're going to succeed. Vienna spies an old warehouse on the edge of town and suggests they renovate it. Henry and Katie laugh at the idea, but when a developer gives the three blueprints for the new office, they're blown away. Katie's flattered when Vienna asks her to be the official spokesmodel for her cosmetics line, but soon learns that Brad had planned a romantic trip for the two of them. Instead, Katie tells Brad that she's leaving for a press tour and won't be back until next week. As Katie boards the plane for L.A., Brad buys a ticket on the same flight. Henry gets emotional when he receives a letter from Maddie saying that she can't come home for the summer because of her new job. Casey overhears Henry talking to Margo about it at Java and later grills Margo for information about Maddie. Margo warns Casey that Sofie should be his top priority. Meanwhile, Gabe invites Sofie on a tour of the Elegant studios and Sofie gushes about how pretty all the girls are. She's stunned when Gabe announces to a co-worker that Sofie has joined the modeling agency. Sofie lets Gabe down easy and tells him that she won't be joining the agency and feels like a fool when Gabe tells her he only said that so he wouldn't get in trouble for bringing an outsider into the studio. However, as soon as Sofie leaves, we see Gabe has an agenda of his own. Alison and Aaron arrive for graduation at Oakdale High to watch Luke receive his diploma. Holden and Lily are thrilled that their oldest is finall graduating. Backstage, the teacher gets everyone lined up and notices Luke is upset. Luke texts Aaron and tells him that Noah isn't answering his phone and seems worried. Aaron finds Noah outside and Noah lies, saying graduations remind him of a conflicted time in his life. Aaron tells Luke all is well, but we see Noah's really upset because he's tired of lying to Luke. Jack, Carrie, and Carly arrive with the kids to watch Luke. Luke is surprised to see Kevin in the audience. After graduation, Luke learns Kevin has returned to Oakdale for good and got his G.E.D. last summer. Noah flinches when he sees Carrie in the crowd of people congratulating their respective graduates. Jack discovers that Carrie is a "classmate" of Noah's from Luke and decides it's time to do some more digging on Carrie. Carly finds Carrie in the restroom and Carrie says she wasn't feeling well. However, Carrie is really hiding from Noah, who stands outside, wanting to know if Carrie got the abortion or not. Iris is shocked to find her ex-boyfriend Stan in the middle of her living room. Stan says that he was released on good behavior and asks for Iris's help in swindling money from the new Metro. Iris informs Stan that she's changed and wantns nothing to do with Stan's latest criminal scheme. When Gwen comes over, Iris hides Stan, not wanting to arouse curiousity from her daughter. After Gwen leaves, Iris tells Stan to leave, but he gently pulls at his jacket to reveal a gun and tells Iris that he's moving in she's going to help him; and there's nothing she can do to make him leave. While Iris sleeps, Stan sends someone a text message, announcing that the eagle has landed. Bob and Susan arrive at the WOAK studios to talk with Kim about the new ads for the cancer ward. Bob notices Kim's short, snappy replies to Susan's inquiries and scolds his wife for being so pissy. Kim tells Bob that it's alot to ask her to bury the hatchet with Susan and Bob replies that he only wants her to work with the both of them like she would any other client. Michael arrives and the filming for the ads begins. Michael becomes alarmed when Barbara pages him. As soon as he arrives, though, he learns Barbara simply wanted company after an exhaustive radiation treatment. Little does he know that she also wanted an alibi. Barbara tucks her phone away, ignoring a text message from Stan. Later, after a romantic night with Gwen, Will tells Barbara that he's having second thoughts about their plan, but Barbara tells him it's too late. Michael leaves Barbara's after staying with her for an hour or so and keeping her company. As he cranks his car, we see someone watching him back out of the Lakeview parking lot. Across town, Lyla's startled from her sleep, not feeling very well. Lyla can't find her medicine and not wanting to bother Margo or Katie, calls Michael, in hopes he can bring her some medicine by. During the phone call, Michael hollers and the line goes dead. Lyla calls Margo, who calls Memorial and learns Michael was run off the road. Meanwhile, we see Doris parking her damaged car, and calling her lawyer over to the house to discuss some new findings in her divorce case against Michael. Lucinda visits with Emily and tells her of a potential story revolving around the mole at Worldwide. Lucinda makes Emily sign a piece of paper saying that she won't report on the story until the mole has been revealed. Dusty learns about the deal and warns Lucinda that she just made a deal with the devil. Lucinda receives an anonymous package in the mail, a box full of roses. Lily thinks they're from the search team captain, thanking her for her heroic efforts in finding the missing team member. A few calls later, Lucinda learns that the package was shipped from Barbados and assumes Lily's idea is true. Meanwhile, we see the mole posting in an internet chat site, claiming to be Noah Mayer. Rosanna mistakenly sends a text message to Paul and when Paul shows up, she sends him right back out the door. Paul injures his foot while trying to move something at B.R.O. and is delightfully surprised when Rosanna shows up to care for him. Rosanna explains that she was wrong for sending him away so harshly and came to apologize. The two return to Paul's loft and he invites Rosanna to spend the night with him, but Rosanna politely declines his offer. During dinner with Carly, Rosanna tells Carly about her feelings for Paul still being there. Carly laughs and tells Rosanna that Paul will always be in her head and in her heart because it's obvious they're meant to be together. Sooner or later, she needs to forgive Paul for choosing Meg over her. When Rosanna asks about Jack and Carly, Carly tells Rosanna that nothing has changed. But when Carly returns home and finds Jack has fallen asleep in her bed (he was reading to Sage), she crawls in bed with the two. Jack begins kissing Carly (while dreaming) and Carly moves downstairs to the couch.

Eric William Morris has been cast in the role of "Gabe". Morris made his debut in Episode 85, although the character's name was originally written as "Brock".

Rosanna realizes that Carrie used to work for the Buffalo, NY division of Cabot Motors, but she had a different last name then and was dismissed because her father made a drunken scene at the workplace. Rosanna tells Carly, who becomes even more curious about Carrie. Casey and Sofie learn that Casey's old friend from summer camp when he was younger owns his own business, Elegant Models. He asks Sofie to work for him, which causes a rift between Casey and his friend Brock, as Casey immediately notices the attraction between the two. Lyla finally reveals to Margo that she and Michael used to have feelings for one another, but they both denied them until they eventually diminished. Lyla blames her small crush on Michael as the reason she wasn't there totally (mentally and lovingly) with Casey towards the end. Aaron and Alison learn from Caleb and Julie that their divorce is final and Caleb is returning to Oakdale in a little while. Aaron still holds resentment towards Emily and makes it clear when he spies Emily clossing a deal with a competitor's long-time ally. The deal goes sour and Emily yells at Aaron. Later, Emily spies Dusty with a sexy woman at the bar. Iris returns to her home to spend the night and finds an intruder in her home.

Lucinda tells Noah that his first attempt to unmask Sherry should be to take her on a "date". Luke overhears the idea and accuses Lucinda of interfering in his relationship. Faith has a nightmare about Andrew and turns to Holden. Lily's hurt by her daughter's words. Iris and Gwen share dinner and Gwen confides that she never thought there'd be a day when Iris would finally be a mother. A teary eyed Iris thanks Gwen for believing in her as she fights her past demons. Michael tells Lyla that he quit having feelings for her a long time ago, revealing that Lyla hates Michael because she used to have feelings for him, too. Michael urges Lyla to leave the past in the past and move on. Meanwhile, lurking and spying, Doris sees Margo receive flowers from Tom and assumes they're from Michael. In a fury, she storms off into the night.

Luke urges Noah to re-think his decision about going behind the scenes at Worldwide. At work, Noah learns that the mole has leaked information again. A furious Lucinda tells him to make a choice now. At a loss for words, Noah agrees to help Lucinda unmask the identity of the traitor at Worldwide. Meanwhile, Lily assures Luke that Lucinda knows how much he and Noah love one another. She would never jeopardize that just to save her company, but Luke has his doubts. Will checks on Barbara at the hospital. Michael has promising test results for Will to see.Barbara writes how she can't feel ehr toungue and Will assures her that it's all part of ridding her body of the cancer forever. Margo comes by and shocks both Will and Barbara when she brings flowers. Margo explains that she heard from Casey that Barbara had surgery and she wanted to bring some flowers by. Paul leaves to catch up on some B.R.O. work and Margo leaves as well. Will and Barbara exchange notes about how what they're doing to Iris is only going to show Gwen that she will never change. Meanwhile, someone gives an airplane ticket to an attendant with the destination marked as Oakdale, IL. Michael bumps into Margo in the hallway and the two share brief conversation before Lyla peeps through her exam room and sees them talking. Coming into the hallway in nothing but her hospital gown, Lyla urges Michael that her medical question can't wait. Margo sees humor in the scene, but also sees that her mother's trying to avoid Michael getting close to her children in any way possible. Back in the exam room, it seems Michael's livid and he tells her that he will talk to whomever he pleases. Lyla scoffs that Michael never understood the word "no" and she's only protecting her children. Michael turns and stares Lyla down. Carly finds Emma and Jack bonding over a game of Scrabble. Carly smiles as she politely asks Jack if she can have a second with him. Jack laments how he meant to call and tell Carly that he would be watching the kids this weekend, but he's suddenly cut off when Carly rips him apart. Carly scolds that Jack no longer makes decisions for her. Just because they share children together does not warrant Jack permission to barge into her home unannounced and berate her roommate with questions about her personal life. Jack tries to interject and tell Carly what he knows, but Carly cuts him off and warns him not to embarass her like that ever again. On the ride home, Carly remembers seeing Carrie be extremely protective of a photo album and how she tucked it away when Carly left the room. Carly begins to wonder to herself who exactly Carrie is and where she came from. Henry and Vienna watch with excitement as Brad and Katie go to "make-up". Vienna squeals as the make-up artist applies the brand new Vienna Coleman Expressions cosmetics on Brad and Katie. After the taping, Brad and Katie both do promos for "ViCE Cosmetics". Henry's doubts still find a way of surfacing as the four friends sit down for a nice dinner at Mona Lisa to celebrate the launch of the cosmetics line. Meanwhile, Doris, Michael's soon-to-be ex-wife, stares Katie down and Brad notices. As they leave, Brad tells Katie about the woman staring and Katie cheerfully shurgs it off as a shy fan. Meanwhile, we see Doris jotting down some notes.

Noah comes home from work and learns from Luke about his encounter with Carrie. Luke lets on like Carrie told him everything, but Noah doesn't buy it and plays it off as though he helped Carrie cheat on an important exam. Noah tells Luke that Lucinda has asked him to get close to a female coworker in hopes of unmaking her as the mole at Worldwide and Luke is very displeased with his grandmother's idea. Luke bursts through the doors of the mansion and tells Lucinda that her plan to unmask the mole at her company is swell, but leave Noah out of it. Lucinda tells Luke that the decision is Noah's, not his. Lily and Holden bond over the hell that they just went through. Holden takes his leave and takes the kids to Emma's, in hopes that a newly returned Emma brandishing a shotgun will scare away any intruders. Holden and Lily book a room at the Lakeview and spend all night remembering the trials and tribulations that God has given them to bring them even closer. Lily gets worried about Faith and Holden calms her worries when he lets Faith talk to Lily over the phone. Margo comes by with good news about Andrew, saying that he's gone from their lives forever, in a jail in Barbados. Lily can't help but think Andrew was protecting a secret about Craig's death, leaving Holden worried that Lily will never let this go, not even after a mad man tried to attack their family. Sofie spends her first day as babysitter putting up with a fussy Hallie. Casey tries to appease the little infant, but her screams become so bad that they eventually have to call Gwen over from her first day of work. A hesitant Gwen suggests that they're all moving too fast and upon Will's return home, suggests they not rush back to work so soon. Will tells Gwen that they have no choice, as Will alone can't make enough money to support them and the money from Gwen's demos has long been gone. Gwen suggests they get a new babysitter...one that's more familiar to Hallie. Will laughs that they can't get any closer to familiar than Hallie's biological mother. Gwen suggests Iris, but Will shoots the idea down and wonders why Gwen suggested Iris in the first place. Casey and Sofie return to Lucinda's guest house and learn that now that Sofie isn't working there, she has a week to find a new place to live. Casey suggests they live with Tom and Margo and go to see what Tom and Margo think about the idea. Margo reluctantly agrees to let them stay for a short while, but pulls Casey aside and informs him that she's only doing this for Casey...not Sofie, nor is she approving the idea of their engagement. Emily runs into Alison at Java and the two sisters exchange hello's before Alison starts to take her leave. Emily calls out for Alison and tearfully begs Ali to forgive her. Alison replies that while a retraction might have been printed, it doesn't erase the ink from the previous issue. The story was still printed, despite Aaron's obvious distress about the situation. And furthermore, Alison continues, Emily used her sister to gather information about the story. Alison leaves and bumps into Dusty, who asks Alison to not disclose to Emily that he's the one that wrote the retraction. Margo calls Jack and tells him that Carrie's last name is Whitten and the first record of her was when she received a speeding ticket in July of 2004. Jack finds it odd that Carrie never existed before then and wonders if Carly knows about this. Jack stops by the house and is informed by Carrie that Carly asked her to watch Parker, Sage, and J.J. while she finished up at work. Jack asks Carrie what brought her to Oakdale and Carrie replies that she's lived in Chicago all her life and came to work when a former employer recommended her to Kim Hughes. She shuts down when Jack continues asking questions about her past, making Carrie think that Jack doesn't trust her with the children. Jack takes his leave and later, Carrie informs Carly that her nosey ex-husband came by earlier, asking questions about Carrie. Carly vows to take care of this and heads off to confront Jack.

Lucinda, the search team captain, Holden, and Lily arrive home to flashing red and blue lights and policemen everywhere. Lily rushes into the house frantically while Holden learns from a cop that an intruder came into the house and Aaron bopped him over the head, knocking him out cold. After a tearful reunion and making sure that everyone's alright, Lily and Holden are shocked to learn that Andrew was the intruder and are happy to learn he's being extradited to Barbados. Aaron takes his leave, seemingly avoiding the thanks and hugs, but Lucinda, Lily, and Holden share an emotional scene with him in which each thanks Aaron for saving Faith's life and protecting the children. Aaron returns to Alison's to help her move out and upon hearing about the commotion, Alison praises her boyfriend as a hero. Aaron barks that he wasn't, leaving Alison stunned. Luke hits the button on the elevator again as Carrie exhaustedly tells him that the repairman said it would be another ten minutes before the elevator is fixed. Luke reclines back and beats his head against the back of the elevator. Carrie makes small talk and learns Luke is graduating any day now. Carrie remembers a bittersweet graduation where she learned she had been accepted to Yale, but her father forbid her from going. She explains how overprotective her father was, so much that she eventually left home a few weeks after graduation and hasn't talked to him since. The elevator starts working again and Carrie takes her exit while Luke scolds himself for being too shy to ask about her connection to Noah. Jack sits down J.J. and reveals, yet again, that he and Carly aren't getting back together. J.J. seems to take the news in stride and goes to a friend's house. Carly comes in and asks Jack if he's seen Carrie. Carly worries, saying that Carrie was last headed to a doctor's appointment. Jack tells Carly she probably got tied up talking to some friends, but Carly remains worried. Later, Carrie comes home and tells Carly about getting stuck in an elevator with Luke. Carly Will takes turns writing on a notepad with Barbara, both silently remarking about how well Barbara's healing. Barbara writes that she feels tired and Will takes his leave. Outside, he's shocked to see that Kim took off work to come see Barbara. Kim tells Will that she's needing someone to work the phones at WOAK and wonders if Gwen would be interested. Will tells his aunt that he'll be sure to tell Gwen. Later, Gwen seems ecstatic about the news until both realize that they'll need a babysitter. Will suggests Alison, but Gwen's swift refusal makes Will curious. They finally agree that Sofie could watch her, and Soife agrees, but only if Casey can come along occasionally. A reluctant Will's finally persuaded when he sees Casey joyfully interacting with Hallie. Gwen grabs Will by the shoulder as they watch Sofie, Casey, and Hallie and Gwen suggests that maybe Casey hasn't changed as much as they thought. After they leave, Sofie calls Lucinda and gives her her two weeks notice, which Lucinda relieves her from fulfilling. Casey's shocked when Sofie announces that she'd love to have children with him. Sofie laughs at Casey's facial expression and giggles that she means once they get married. As soon as Sofie's asleep, Casey stays up and wonders if he's being too rash with his decision to marry Sofie.

Rosanna tells Carly of her plans to stay in town, and remembers seeing Carrie somewhere before. Carly shares this information with Carrie, who doesn't have the slightest clue where she might know Rosanna from. Later, Carrie has a dream of a baby crying. Luke comes into close quarters with Carrie on the Lakeview elevator, which gets jammed. Margo agrees to find out information on Carrie for Jack, but begs him to give up this jealous hunt for information that might somehow lead him back into Carly's orbit. Margo breaks it to Jack that she personally thing that Carly's finally over Jack, but Jack doesn't buy it. Later, Margo finds out that Carrie never existed until three years before she came to Oakdale. Carly and Jack squabble over where to send J.J. for the summer. Jack thinks that they should keep him in Oakdale, but Carly thinks that by sending him to soccer camp, he can rid himself of the tension between CarJack. Jack denies there's tension, but Carly's revelation of J.J. making vague comments about a possible reunion between them brings Jack down from his fatherly high horse. He assures Carly that he'll once again enlighten J.J. that they're not getting back together. Emily learns that someone sent a last minute Caleb/Julie story retraction to the publisher and immediately assumes it's Alison who did it. Alison quits her job at The Intruder in protest and runs into Dusty who reveals he wrote the retraction. Later, Lily and Dusty come face to face after months of not speaking to one another. Holden witnesses the akwardness and guesses Lily's still not over Dusty, but Lily assures her husband that he's the only one for her. Andrew continues spying on Lily and Holden, planning his revenge on them for their snooping ways back in Barbados. Meanwhile, Lucinda learns that there's a missing search team member and upon finding him back in Barbados, Lucinda and the search team captain learn Andrew stole the guard's seat on the plane. As they rush to tell Holden and Lily, Andrew cons the babysitter watching Faith, Natalie, and Ethan into believing he's their uncle.

Brad tells her to be cautious, as Vienna's dreams of a cosmetic fortune might fail. Katie tells Brad that everything will work out fine and gets the okay from Kim to wear Vienna's cosmetics on the show. Casey and Sofie break the news to Tom and Margo that they're engaged. Margo thinks it's a little too soon for Casey to commit himself to someone when it's obvious that he's not over Maddie. Sofie tells Margo of her elaborate wedding plans, which leads Margo to think that Sofie's only marrying Casey because of his financially profitable father. Casey is hurt by Margo's statement and tells her that he's moving in Lucinda's guest house with Sofie. Paul tries to get Rosanna to take him back, but her rejection makes him all the more determined. When Barbara finds out that Meg sent Paul a letter, she hides the letter, in hopes that Paul and Rosanna will soon reunite. Susan tells Kim to think before she takes a drink.

Episode 76-80 will be lightly updated throughout this week as I take my finals. Dusty returns from his business trip and learns about Emily's controversial exposé about Caleb and Julie Snyder's marital problems. He blasts her for being so shallow and tells her that they're through. Later, Emily sees Aaron at Old Town and he tells her that she'd better print a retraction or he's suing her for slander.

Lyla and Barbara start treatment at Oakdale's new cancer ward's temporary unit. Michael voices his excitement over the approaching completion and grand opening of the new multi-million dollar facility. Lyla asks Michael point blank if he came to Oakdale for the job or just to torture her and use her family to get to her. Michael assures Lyla that he's not doing anything of the sort. He only wants to spend time with Katie, a niece he barely knows. He promises Lyla that any feelings that he had for Lyla in the past are long gone. Later, we learn that Michael came to Oakdale not only for the job, but to escape the pressure of his nasty divorce back home. Luke and Noah continue to bask in the glow of their newly rekidndled love. Noah quickly learns his job at Worldwide will be a tough one when Lucinda introduces him to a fiery new intern named Sherry.

Jack wonders what else there is to know about Carly's new mysterious roommate and seeks answers from Margo. Will comes home to tell Gwen about his new job offer and notices she's taken Hallie out again. Will grows curious and phones Alison, who absentmindedly tells Will that Gwen's not there. Alison notices her mistake a little late and phones Gwen to warn her just as Gwen steps in the house and discovers Will waiting up on her. Alison and Gwen quickly recover and tell Will it was all a misunderstanding. As Barbara urges a reluctant Will to spy on his wife, Alison tells Gwen she can't lie for her anymore. Bob tells Kim that there's nothing that Tom can do to lessen Chris's new sentence. Kim later returns from a visit with Chris, visibly shaken. Bob tries to calm her down, but Kim goes out to a bar and contemplates drinking her cares away. As Kim raises the bottle, Susan approaches her and warns her that drinking won't solve a thing. Vienna and Katie meet up for lunch and Vienna voices her disappointment in her inability to find someone to sponsor her new cosmetics line. Katie gets an idea and tells Vienna that she could sponsor Vienna and wear the product on Oakdale Now, cross-promoting the two. Both ladies seem pleased with their idea, but Henry senses disaster. Later, Michael asks Katie over to the house to try a new recipe and agrees, unaware of Margo's promise to Lyla that they would only see Michael on a professional basis. Katie drags Brad along and Michael makes mention of the two making a good couple. Both laughingly dismiss Michael's observation, but a few bottles of wine later, the two end up having sex back at Katie's. Rosanna visits Carly and tells her sister that she's leaving town. Rosanna notices Carrie, but doesn't say anything. Paul tries to persuade Rosanna to give him a chance, but Rosanna recalls warning him she wouldn't be around for him after he discovered Meg's lies. At a loss for words, Paul watches Rosanna leave. Rosanna has a change of heart and cancels her flight, opting to stay in Oakdale and figure out where she knows Carrie from. Paul thinks that Rosanna didn't leave town because of him, but little does he know, he couldn't be more wrong.

Alison barges into Emily's office and slams the paper on her desk. Alison asks Emily what the hell she was doing printing such personal material as this. Emily claims that her motivations were in the right place. Alison barks "Like hell they were! You took advantage of a personal situation. Aaron's already having enough trouble." Emily defends herself, saying that sales are down and she needed a story that would sell. Unfortunately, that story is the turbulent relationship between Caleb and Julie, which many in Oakdale have already known. Alison screams that Emily has no heart. Disgusted, Alison leaves and finds Aaron about to bust into Emily's office and let her hear it. She's eventually able to convince Aaron to let it go and not confront Emily, saying that's exactly what Emily wants him to do. Later, Susan shares her disgust with Emily when she arrives home, wondering aloud what Dusty will think when he hears Emily's back to her old habits. Carly finds Carrie holed up in the bathroom at WOAK. Carly helps Carrie out with her troubles and Carrie thanks her. Carly tells Carrie that the morning sickness will eventually leave. Carly confesses that she knows what it's like to be in her shoes and asks if Carrie has any family in the area to take care of her. Carrie says that she's been estranged from her father for years now and hasn't seen him since she was seventeen; her mother died when she was young; and the baby's father has decided not to take part in anything. Carly shocks Carrie by inviting her to move in with her, as Carrie recalls that Carly hated her just a few weeks ago. Carly admits that she was a bit too hard on Carrie, and eventually, she convinces Carrie to move in with her. Later, Carly and Carrie have a near miss with Luke and Noah. Noah and Luke return to the apartment. Noah, having just gotten off work, lays down in the tub for a soak and is surprised when Luke comes up behind him. Luke tries to take things past 2nd base, but Noah stalls. Noah reminds Luke that their frolicking almost cost Noah his job before he even started. Luke tells Noah to relax and the two end up making love in the tub. Later, the two decide to go out for dinner at Mona Lisa. Lisa greets them and tells them that she's glad they were able to come. Katie comes up and asks about Holden and Lily. After Katie walks off, Luke mentions that after pining over Holden and marrying Jack, Katie's now sleeping with Brad. Luke laughs that she likes to keep it all in the family. Little do they know that a hurt Katie heard every word. Katie meets Lyla and Margo for dinner at Mona Lisa. Once all three arrive, Katie tells her mother and sister about overhearing Luke's hurtful words and whines that perhaps giving Brad another chance was a bad mistake. Margo tells Katie that their mother's just been released from the hospital and goes back for more tests tomorrow...the last thing she wants is to hear about Katie's love life. Katie cries that no one seems to even care about her anymore. Margo, with sympathy, tells Katie that not everything is always about her. Lyla warns Katie that this could be the last dinner they all have together. She comforts Katie, telling her that she does care. She wants to see Katie marry (for good, this time) and have kids and grow to be an extraordinary woman. But right now, she continues, all she wants is to eat dinner with her girls and leave the troubles of their lives behind...even if it's only for a few minutes. Later, Margo confesses to Lyla that she thinks she and Michael have patched things up. Lyla's horrified that her daughters have been spending time with Michael. Margo, frank as can be, asks Lyla why she doesn't want her daughters to have anything to do with Michael. Lyla insists that she and Michael have a history far too complicated to be understood. Patiently, she asks Margo to respect her wishes and asks that Margo and Katie only see Michael on a professional basis. Margo reluctantly agrees. Holden and Lily continue running from Andrew. Taking a break, Lily notices her ankle swelling again, but ventures on. As they run, they see men in black uniforms and conclude that the men are after them, as well. Little do they know that the men in black uniforms are the search party Lucinda has sent looking for them both. Holden suggests they run one way, but Lily takes the opposite route and heads for the hotel room where she was staying. As she gathers her things in a hurry, Holden keeps watch. Lily spots the note telling her to quit looking and tucks it into her bag. The two head out again for the air strip and start to board the jet. The search and rescue team sent by Lucinda tries to identify themselves, but fearing they have a gun, Holden and Lily start fighting them off. Lily notices Andrew's nowhere in sight. Holden grabs Lily and starts to run again until the commander of the search team identifies himself and says that Ms. Walsh sent them. Holden and Lily sigh with relief and board the plane with the team, headed back home. Little do they know... One of the search and rescue team members lies unconcious on the ground back in Barbados while a black uniformed team member on the plane raises his head and reveals the face of Andrew.

Holden tries to break free from his chains. He tries to make eye contact with Lily, but Andrew bonks him over the head, knocking him out. Andrew chuckles that now he has Lily all to himself, but Lily grabs a shovel and knocks Andrew out. Lily lets Holden loose, grabbing a key from Andrew's pocket. Excited to see one another, they kiss but Andrew stirring causes them to bolt. As they hurry out the door, Andrew chases after them. Aaron shows up at Susan's and lets himself in, barging up to Alison's room. Alison's busy packing things for her new apartment and gives little notice to Aaron being there until he slaps a copy of The Intruder down on the bed and furiously demands to know what the hell she told Emily. Alison's horrified to see an article about Caleb and Julie's marital problems and both head off to confront Emily. Bob comes into the kitchen and sees a letter on the table. Kim sits, staring at the letter. Bob asks her what's in it, and Kim tearfully replies that it's a letter from Chris. After his parole hearing, one of the guards tried to beat him and when Chris fought back, another 6 months was added to his sentence. Bob becomes fit with rage and demands to speak with the warden. Kim's shocked that Bob's acting like this, citing that months ago, she thought Bob would never care to hear from Chris again. Bob tells Kim that Chris is his son, no matter what he's done. Bob admits he's starting to forgive Chris and heads off to speak with Tom about legal actions to protect Chris and revoke the additional 6 month sentence. Jack comes over to Emma's with the kids and reminds them to take it easy with Emma today. She's still really upset from Meg leaving town. Emma greets the kids with a smile and thanks Jack for agreeing to let her watch them. She cites how she needs the time with the children to clear her head. Jack warns Emma not to blame herself for Meg's problems. Emma can't help but think that she could have done something. She just knew Meg falling for Paul would end in disaster, but she never imagined it would be anything like this. Later, Jack runs into Lucinda and learns that the search team she sent for Holden and Lily has landed down in Barbados. Paul drives up to Rosanna's and contemplates going inside. Just as he's about to pull away, he notices a "For Sale" sign on the house. Rosanna comes out and jokingly accuses Paul of stalking her. She quickly diverts from the akwardness and apologizes to Paul for having to find out like he did. Paul confides that he should have listened to her from the beginning. Rosanna forces a slight smile before getting in her car and leaving. Later, Barbara calls Will and Paul together and announces to them that the cancer is strengthening and she'll be starting extensive treatment tomorrow at Memorial. She chokes back tears as she hints to Will and Paul that cancer might soon conquer her, but they quickly hush her negativity with hugs.

Lucinda's investor blasts her for hiring a homosexual, saying that he just walked in on her new employee groping another young man in the boardroom. Lucinda apologizes and promises nothing like it will happen again. The investor, still shellshocked and angry, pulls out of the new business deal he was negotiating with Worldwide. Lucinda becomes angry when the investor jumps on Luke outside. Lucinda, in a huff, tells the investor that this "sick f**g*t" is her grandson and he can take his negotiations and shove them where the sun doesn't shine!! Noah and Luke thank Lucinda and she tells them to keep all their lovin' at home...this is a place of business. Rohan and Lily continue searching for Holden. Lily tells Rohan about the note that she found in her hotel room, begging her to quit searching. Roahn concludes that there must be alot of drama attached to the death of her brother-in-law and opts out of the search for Holden, but not before directing her to a small hut in the woods where Andrew sometimes goes. Lily thanks Rohan for his help and ventures towards the hut. Once inside, Andrew grabs Lily from behind as Holden screams for Lily to run. Andrew tells her that Rohan did a good job leading her to him, as he slowly moves her to where Holden is chained. Meg is at a loss for words as Paul furiously blasts Meg for all the pain and torture that she's caused with her lies and deceit. Paul cries that he never thought Meg would be capable of something like this, as Meg sniffs that she didn't either. Rosanna's long gone by now and Paul tells her that all Rosanna ever did wrong was care too much about him, but he was so hypnotized by Meg that he didn't see it. Meg cries that she became so obsessed with not losing him that she got carried away and became someone she doesn't even recongize. With a kiss on the cheek, Meg leaves Paul behind. Luke comes into Emma's kitchen as she finishes up his favorite dessert. Luke sits down to eat and over a slab of apple pie, the two discuss Noah, Carrie, Lily, Holden, and the incident at Worldwide today. Meg barges in, prompting Luke to leave. Meg, through sobs, tells Emma what she's done. Emma doesn't take a second to let Meg know how shocked, embarassed, and furious she is by it all. Meg tells Emma that she needs some time to find herself again and thinks that all this time in Oakdale has been wasted. She came home to reconnect with her family, but her whole time back, she's been chasing love. Emma advises Meg to take a break and clear her head. Meg agrees and decides that she's going to return to Josh and see if they can patch things up. Both mother and daughter are an emotional wreck, hugging and kissing each other goodbye. Meg tearfully waves goodbye as she closes the creaking screen door behind her. Luke returns and comforts a shaken Emma. The dinner at Katie's is a disaster, but Michael saves the day with his Paula Deen-esque cooking. Akward tension flows between Michael and Margo. Katie takes her leave, prompting Michael and Margo to heal some old wounds. Margo confides in Michael how much she loved and admired Casey for holding on as long as he did. Michael replies that he doesn't have a problem with Margo, but he disagrees with the way that Casey went. Margo weeps that all she ever wanted to do at the time was help a man who had given her mother so much. Michael comforts Margo as Katie looks in. Brad comes up behind Katie, startling her. Brad tells Katie that he did quit WOAK because of her, but he soon realized that unemployment might keep Katie out of his sight, but not out of his mind or heart. Katie blushes and asks Brad if he'd like to start over. Brad laughs, saying he can't count how many times they've started anwe, vowing to do better this time. Katie smiles as she getsures her hand out. Third time is a charm, she chirps. Brad takes her hand in his and holds it close to his chest, smiling in return.

Lyla wakes up and learns that Michael saved her life. Susan urges her to thank Michael, but a stubborn Lyla refuses. Later, Katie invites Michael to dinner at her cottage and learns from Margo that Michael hasn't spoken to her since Casey's funeral. Katie sees this as a good time to heal old wounds, but Margo seems hesitant. Lily panics when no one can find Andrew. Rohan assures her that Andrew is simply an old man, a little demented, but not harmful. Meanwhile, Andrew tells Holden that "the boss" ordered him to capture Lily, but when Holden came looking for her, he took matters into his own hands and has captured Holden to get to Lily. Meg runs into Carly at Java and the two make akward small talk until Meg brings up Rosanna. Carly tells Meg to leave her sister alone and Rosanna will do the same. Rosanna arrives and the two get into a heated verbal argument. Carly leaves to pick up Parker, leaving Meg and Rosanna behind, still bickering. Noah arrives at Worldwide on his first day of work and learns that a co-worker has a crush on him. He's quick to tell the co-worker that he's gay, reminding himself that he's working for his boyfriend's grandmother, who seems to know everything. Luke brings Noah lunch and the two make out in the boardroom, almost engaging in sex, until an investor comes in looking for Lucinda. Paul gets out of his car and heads to Java, worried about Meg since she's taking so long. He sneaks behind Meg as she tells Rosanna that Paul hates her ever since she miscarried. Rosanna says that Meg tricked Paul into believing she was pregnant, had him make love to her so she could get pregnant again, and then threw herself on the car so she could blame it all on Rosanna and send Paul raging. Meg smirks that it all played out brilliantly, just as Paul reveals himself and informs Meg he heard everything!!

Brad and Katie finally break the silence and both apologize at the same time. When Brad won't admit that he quit WOAK because of Katie, she storms out. Brad runs after her, but is intercepted by Henry who tells him to just let her go. Margo runs into Katie, who is a bucket of emotions. She tells Katie to pull her act together as Lyla's just been rushed to Memorial. Michael takes over Lyla's case and amazes Bob and Susan by his efficiency as a doctor. When a nurse makes the wrong call, Michael takes hold of the situation and keeps Lyla from slipping away. Later, Margo and Michael come face to face for the first time since Casey's death. The tension is omnipresent, but Katie thanks Michael for saving her mother's life. Emma arrives at Lucinda's, wanting answers. Unable to give her anything, Emma suggests Lucinda send a search party after Lily and Holden. Lucinda scoffs at the idea of sending a search party after a search party, but eventually agrees to foot the bill for rescuers to enter Barbados, some of the same people who have rescued refugees in Sierra's homeland of Montega. Alison comes home and Gwen pulls up behind her. Gwen tells Alison that she needs a huge favor and tells Alison that as far as Will goes, Gwen has been here alot lately, sometimes past midnight, with Hallie. Alison wonders why the lying is necessary and tells Gwen that she'd do best to tell her husband the truth. Later, Alison tells Aaron about Gwen asking her to lie to Will. Lily thanks Rohan and his family for taking care of her and says goodbye as Rohan escorts her back to town. In town, a woman stops Lily and tells her that her husband was here looking for her, but he went away with Andrew. Rohan cringes at the name and Lily takes notice. Lily asks who Andrew is and Rohan admits that he's nothing but trouble.

Emily runs into Alison and Aaron in Old Town. Sofie comes by with Casey and Aaron forks off to talk with them. Emily asks how Aaron's been holding up since the news of Julie and Caleb's divorce. Alison explains that Aaron's pretty hurt, especially since Julie hasn't been doing as good as she was right after her recovery. Meanwhile, Sofie and Casey make small talk and Sofie informs Aaron that she and Casey are officially dating. Emily and Alison interrupt the conversation and publically apologize for accusing Casey of being Ali's stalker. Katie finds Henry at his house all by himself. Katie asks where Vienna is and Henry explains that she's out looking for potential investors for her new business venture. Katie tells Henry that Vienna should consult with Kim, but Henry sees it as a lost cause since he and Kim haven't always seen eye to eye since his scheming first days at WOAK. Brad comes over, unaware that Henry orchestrated the whole thing. Katie gripes that Henry called her over to discuss Vienna's new business, as Brad argues that Henry called him over to discuss employment. Henry leaves Brad and Katie alone. Forced together, neither says a word; they just stare at one another. Emma returns to Oakdale from a farmers convention and learns from Luke that Lily went missing in Barbados, there for answers about Craig's death, and now Holden has gone missing trying to find her. Unable to grip the news, Emma goes out. Luke, meanwhile, soon gets confronted by a furious Noah. Luke explains that he feels like Noah is hiding something and after the apartment fiasco, he doesn't want another lie to come between them. Noah stalls, realizing that his lies have caused a rift in his once-flourishing relationship, but eventually tells Luke that nothing is going on, therefore continuing the lies. Jack arrives at Carly's to take the kids to their various activities. Sage assumes that Jack has returned to live with them. A bitter J.J. tells her not to hold out hope, forcing Carly and Jack to scold him. J.J. reiterates that they've already made it perfectly clear that neither of them still loves the other. Carly assures the kids that she and Jack still love one another, but they'll never love one another like they once did...when they were all a family. Jack's painful glance catches Carly's eye, but she moves on and shocks Jack by revealing that she's inviting Carrie to move in with her. Jack seems confused, citing that Carly used to hate Carrie. Carly agrees that she was tough on Carrie, but now that she has talked with Carrie, she knows that Carrie is in a rundown apartment across town, on her own, with no family around to help, and pregnant. Carly remembers being in her shoes. Although she had Mike at the time that she was pregnant with Nora, she didn't have all of him. Rosanna was her only family and at the time, they detested one another because of Mike. Furthermore, Carly thinks it'll be nice to have someone around to help with the kids (it'll give Carrie good practice) and to have some company around the house. Jack thinks Carly's out of her mind. As Gwen bathes Hallie, Will steps in and cautiously asks Gwen where she's been lately. Gwen laughs past the questions, saying that she's been so busy with Hallie that she herself doesn't even know where she's been. Will gets a bit angry and demands to know where Gwen has been going at midnight or later with their daughter. Gwen begs Will to calm down and assures him that she's simply been taking Hallie out for late walks and one night, they went to Gwen's friend's house. Will demands to know who the friend is, but Gwen doesn't say, citing that he's acting more like her father than her husband. Will replies that he is a father...to Hallie. And he deserves to know where she's been. Finally, Gwen lies and says she's been visiting Alison. Will buys it for the time being as Gwen breathes a sigh of relief.
