    The doctor gives Katie some good news and some bad news. The good news says that Katie's going to fine and will one day have children. The bad news is that Katie's reproductive system will be weakened by the treatments for the infection that she must undergo, hence halting her hopes of having a baby. Brad comforts Katie and takes her to Lyla's to lie down. While Katie sleeps, Lyla tells Brad that he's not going to get in her daughter's pants anytime soon, especially with her around. Katie pretends to still be asleep as Brad reveals to Lyla that he's not sticking around Katie because he wants to make a baby with her. He's sticking around because he loves her.

    Casey finds Margo at the police station and asks to speak with her. They enter the interrogation room and Casey hands over some pills. Casey says that he doesn't need them any more than he needs the whole town ridiculing hm. Margo asks what happened in prison that was so unbelievably horrific that it's totally changed Casey. Casey refuses to tell Margo and promises that he'll be alright. As Casey leaves, Margo's shocked when he reveals that he had a long talk with Lyla and it made him realize that life is too short. Margo says that Lyla told her the doctors had a good report for Lyla and things are looking up, but Casey's eyes tell Margo a different story.

    Dusty blasts into Lance's old production studio and finds it completely abandoned. A nearby homeless man tells Dusty that Lance's company tanked after he ran away with a buxom blonde porn star named Candy. When Candy found the photos he had taken of her kid sister, she flipped and killed him, coming back to hide his body in the abandoned studio. Dusty wonders aloud who could be Alison's stalker if it's not Lance and calls Susan. Susan can hardly talk on the phone thanks to a pushy hospital board member, but she assures Dusty they can talk tonight at her place.

    Lily thanks Carly for all her hard work and tells her to go home and spend some time with her kids. Before she leaves, Lily tells Carly about hiring Carly an assistant. Carly denies needing any help, but Lily reveals that after Jack called her, she realized how selfish it was (on Lily's part) to want her to start work so soon after the ordeal with Sam. Lily tells an argumentative Carly that it's settled and the new girl will start tomorrow. When Carly's unable to make a meeting or work on designs, her assistant can save the day. When Carly comes home, she fumes at Jack for telling Lily on her like a little kid. Jack insists that he thinks the more time she's home, the more time she can use to convince the kids she's there for them..now more than ever. Carly turns a questioning eye to Jack as he walks out the door to spend the night at Emma's for a change and give Carly time to cool down.

    Susan comes home and exhausted, sets down on the couch. She hardly notices when Dusty taps her arm. Dusty laughs and tells Susan that he knows she's tired, but this won't take long. Aaron's on his way, too. Susan starts to panic, worrying about Alison. Dusty assures her that Alison is fine. Aaron is dropping her off with Emily and she doesn't know a thing. Just as Dusty reveals to Susan that Alison has been getting mysterious messages from a Myspace pervert, Aaron busts through the door, holding an inquisitive Alison back as long as he can. Alison breaks free and sees the faces of Dusty, Aaron, and Alison. Alison herself begins to worry until Susan asks her about the Myspace messages. Alison's jaw hits the floor as she turns around to give Aaron a scathing glare that people in hell would think was punishment.

    Kim goes to Java and finds Bob sulking in a corner booth. Bob tells her that he appreciates her letting him continue to see Susan as a friend and perhaps get over all this guilt and anger that's torn him up for so long, but he says Susan's been swamped at work and doesn't even have time for a cup of coffee. Kim flashes her cell phone and says that Lily's got things under control at WOAK so she's free all day. Kim suggests they take a walk and Bob can talk all he wants or not talk at all, if he'd like. Bob reluctantly agrees.

    Will, Gwen, and Paul arrive at the doctor's office without Barbara. Dr. Hilton tells them that everything they can do has been done. Barbara's going to have to go to a better facility than Oakdale Memorial. Paul blasts the doctor for giving up, but he denies he's doing anything of the sort. They simply don't have the technology that other cancer centers do. Paul agrees to use some of his money from B.R.O. to fund a state of the art cancer facility. Dr. Hilton continues that they would have to have board approval, to which Will replies that his great uncle is Chief of Staff, That shouldn't be a problem.

    Jack comes downstairs and finds Carly prepping for her first day of work. Sage comes down and asks Carly to help her with a project that's due tomorrow. Carly scolds Sage for waiting until the last minute, which sends her fleeing back up the stairs. Jack tells Carly that he knows how nervous she gets, but the last thing she needs to do is go back to work right now. The kids are just getting over her being gone and their family therapy is just starting to show improvement. Lily buzzes the doorbell before Carly can answer and she heads out the door. Jack goes upstairs and consoles Sage, blaming Carly's foul mood on her nervousness about her new job. Sage asks if Mommy's going to leave again, as we see Carly doubting her new job already.

    Casey startles Lyla when he walks in on her practicing her number. Casey tells Lyla that although her heath is fading, her voice sure isn't. Casey finally confesses after a quiet moment that he knows that Lyla passed out. Lyla pleads with Casey not to tell his mother. Casey promises to keep Lyla's secret. Lyla asks Casey how he's been doing and he replies that he thought he wanted Sofie, but the more he thinks about, the more he realizes that everyone's right. He just wants someone to fill the hole that was left by Maddie.

    Emma sets Meg down on the bed at the farm and advises her to get some rest. While Emma goes to get her some tea, Meg starts thinking about Paul and is determined to see him. Emma stops her as Meg starts down the stairs. Emma's pleading does no good as Meg walks out the front door anyways. At Paul's penthouse, Paul chastises Meg for being out. Meg cries that she's sorry that she miscarried their baby. Meg damns Rosanna for running her over, citing that she was just jealous that she couldn't have Paul to herself and jealous that Meg was carrying his child. Paul can't stand to think of Rosanna acting that way and tells Meg that he'll never forgive Rosanna. Later, Meg calls Rosanna while Paul showers. Rosanna see's Paul's number and answers excitedly, hoping he's found out the truth. Instead, she hears Meg snicker and yells at Meg that karma's a b!tch.

    Lucinda runs by Lily's and finds Lily leaving for work. Lily asks her mother what she wants and Lucinda apologizes for the way that she's been acting. Lily tells her mother that she knows she doesn't mean it, but thanks her for the thought. Lucinda retorts that Lily needs to quit living in the past, which sets Lily off. Later, Luke comes in for his first day of work and asks his mom for advice on Noah. Luke's worried that Noah took it hard the other day when he found out they were denied the apartment because of Colonel Mayer. Lily insists that Noah just needs time.

    Henry and Vienna return from their trip to Leonia to collect their money. Katie greets them as they enter the Lakeview, as she's headed for drinks with Alison. Henry explains how once they arrived in Leonia, it was revealed that Vienna's uncle was going bankrupt and instead of inheriting the millions he promised Vienna, they ended up only getting about $10,000 which they plan on using to construct Vienna's new business. Katie seems weary of the idea, citing how Vienna's last business tanked during construction. Henry asks how the baby-making is coming along and Katie crumbles, saying that an infection she has might lead to her being barren. Henry and Vienna issue their sympathies.

    Emily and Dusty finish eating at Mabel's. Dusty comments how he's glad to have Emily back in his arms and notices Emily acting distant.

    Emma tells Meg to tell her what she's smirking like that for. Meg turns around and denies that she was smirking. Meg simply says that she was smiling, thinking of how she never thought Emma would be here right now. Emma insists that Meg is her baby girl and she can't imagine not being here for Meg during this hard and difficult time. Meg talks about how Emma has never been a fan of Paul's. Emma explains that whatever makes Meg happy is what she wants, and if Paul makes her happy, Emma must deal with it. Paul returns from arguing with Rosanna and apologizes for being gone for so long. Emma watches as Paul and Meg hug and Rosanna looks in through the window.

    Lily tells Carly that she and Jack are meant to be together, but Carly tells Lily that she only knows one thing. She's glad Jack is still alive and she's not going to get her hopes up like she usually does. She's going to take things slowly, one day at a time. Jack and Holden interrupt the two, giving a hopeful update about Meg. As Holden and Jack get the women's coats to leave, Lily tells Carly she has the perfect job opportunity for her. Since Jack has quit the force and she knows Carly needs a job, Lily offers Carly a job as set designer at WOAK. Carly yelps in excitement and hugs Lily, thanking her profusely. Later, Carly tells Jack the good news, but Jack has reservations. He knows how badly Carly loves to work, but he also issues the painful reminder that her last business venture led to her canoodling with Simon and leaving her family behind. Carly realizes that he's afraid it might happen again. Carly wipes tears away and tells Jack she knew he wouldn't understand.

    Strolling by the Oakdale mini-mall, Alison and Aaron run into Emily. Alison asks Emily how her business trip went and Emily says that she's glad that she's back home after going away for a while and then visiting Daniel. Emily asks how Alison has been doing and notices stitches in Aaron's head. Aaron laughs and says that he gets them out tomorrow and recalls the story of thinking someone was after Alison. Alison continues to keep her mouth shut about the mysterious Myspace messages and is relieved from the quite tension when Emily runs off to meet Dusty at Mabel's for a quick bite.

    Nancy tells Kim that she's not fooling anyone by saying that she's allowing Bob to be friends with Susan. Kim half-way grins and tells Nancy that there's a catch. She's persuaded a good friend of hers on the hospital board to keep Susan running around the hospital so that she doesn't have any free time for Bob. Nancy tells Kim that it sounds like an old trick Lisa would play, but Kim tells Nancy that she's desperate to have her husband back to his normal slef, she knows that Susan isn't helping matters any, and she is convinced that Bob will be better off confiding in his wife instead of that tramp Susan. Nancy tells Kim she doesn't approve, but when Lisa comes over to join the ladies, Lisa thinks it's a marvelous idea. However, she warns Kim that this might backfire on her and leave Bob feeling even more betrayed.

    Lucinda, having a bad day, walks in on Casey apologizing to Sofie. Lucinda barks that Sofie needs to get to work and tells Casey that he's disrupted her staff long enough. Lucinda snaps that just because Casey got off thanks to his parents, she'll be damned if he makes her company suffer because of it. Lucinda calls Margo and tells of Casey coming over and interrupting Sofie on the job. Lyla offers to go with Margo to talk to Casey, although furious at Lucinda still for wrecking her dead son's memorial. Once there, Margo and Lyla get in a heated confrontation with Lucinda. Later, Casey tells Lyla what Lucinda said to him. Lyla returns to Lucinda's and lets her have it, saying that her grandson is a good man and she won't let Lucinda taint his name like she did Craig's. Lucinda argues that Craig did all the tainting of his own name all by himself and Casey will do the same if they don't watch him carefully. Back at her suite, Lucinda's words echo in Lyla's ears and she starts to feel dizzy. The next thing she knows, she's coming to from fainting. She grabs a glass of water, thankful that noone saw. She vows to keep it from her family, knowing how badly it would upset them. Meanwhile, Casey stands outside her door.

    The ultrasonic, piercing sound of his cell phone going off awakens Noah from his sleep. As he rolls over to get it, he remembers the night's events. All in a fog, he remembers flashes of making out with Carrie and having sex with her. Immediately regretting everything that happened, Noah slips his clothes on with shame and finds Chip. Chip laughs, saying that Noah and Carrie made quite the ruckus last night. Noah barks at Chip to just shut up and take him home. Noah asks where the girl went and Chip says she and some friends went to the ice skating rink. Happy to avoid an akward reunion with her, Noah hops in the truck with Chip. Later, Noah freezes with fear when Luke calls his name. Luke asks where he went and Noah makes up a lie. As Luke goes to his morning class at Oakdale U., he reminds Noah that he loves him and he's sorry to have hurt him. Afraid to conjure up any painful reminders, Noah quickly murmurs "love you too" and heads to take a shower.

    While checking out at Fashions, Lisa notes how big Hallie has gotten. Lisa seems worried when Gwen asks how Casey is, so Gwen tells her to forget she even asked. Just as Gwen starts to leave, Casey brushes past Gwen on the sidewalk. Casey thanks Gwen for her and her husband ruining things for him and Sofie. Gwen tells Casey that Sofie just got out of a very painful relationship and may be weary of Casey at first, especially since they don't really know each other too well. Casey, determined to prove everyone wrong, marches to Lucinda's and after some begging, is able to get Sofie released from work early. The two arrive at Al's for a breakfast date, where Casey seems determined to find out all he can about Sofie. Sofie, still unsure about Casey, apologizes and asks if they can go. In the truck, tension builds between the two and Sofie finally lets her guard down. As Sofie starts to take off her bra and Casey starts to take off his pants, Casey freezes. Sofie tries to read some expression (fear, regret, happiness) from his face, but it's almost like his flesh has been replaced by some colorless wood, null of texture and color...expressionless, empty. Casey says he can't do this and takes Sofie back. Later, Casey stands outside on the roof and looks below, almost daring himself to jump, but in the end, knowing he can't ever possibly do it.

    Lily thanks Carly for seeing her on such short notice as the two sit down at the Lakeview bar and order mamosas. The two briefly talk about their own opinions about Meg and the tragedy that's befallen her. Carly shifts the subject to Holden and Lily. Lily sighs and explains that everything is alot better, but she could do without her mother constantly pressuring Holden to persuade Lily into seeing Craig "how he really was". Lily explains that she only wants to remember the man Craig was. She doesn't know if she could survive knowing that the man she once knew and loved had turned into something so vile and despicable like others say he was. Carly, from experience, tells Lily that Craig was a very layered character. He could make you love him one minute, but another, and you were plotting a way to make him pay. Carly asserts that sometimes you have to accept people's flaws to truly appreciate their better side. She knows from experience, since Jack used to only see her as a lying, scheming b!tch. Lily realizes Carly's right, but doesn't know if she can ever accept, and thus forgive, the hurt and pain that Craig caused. Carly assures her she can. Lily asks about Jack and tells Carly that now is the time to tell Jack how she feels and possibly work things out. Carly, however, isn't too sure.

    Bob, Kim, and Nancy all sit around the dinner time eating breakfast together for the first time in a long time. Nancy sees that Bob leaving Susan alone must have paid off, but Kim regretfully informs her that she's allowing Bob and Susan to keep each other company. Bob, stunned himself, asks Kim when she decided it was okay, especially after the scene she made with Susan at the Mona Lisa. Kim reasons that Bob is her husband, whom she loves deeply and would do anything for. And if "doing anything for" requires letting Bob seek comfort in his friend, then she's going to swallow her pride and accept it. She wants Bob to be able to accept the fact that Chris never meant to hurt anyone, and she longs for Bob to seek that acceptance with her. However, Susan has been a long time confidante and colleague of his for years. She trusts him enough to let him continue being friends with Susan. Later, after Bob goes for a walk, Nancy tells her that it was a nice try, but she should really work on her acting skills. She hasn't convinced anyone.

    Out in the waiting room, Emma returns with muffins and bagles for Paul, Will, Barbara, Holden, and Jack. Paul asks what's taking so long for the nurses to finish with Meg. Emma reminds Paul that Meg has been through a very traumatic experience and needs all the rest she can get. She reminds him that his doting on Rosanna's blame for the accident caused Meg to get too worked up and the nurses are stabilizing her. Emma turns and sees Barbara, exhausted, fading to sleep. With a nudge, she thanks Barbara for her concern for Meg, but assures that Meg and Paul will be just fine. As Will escorts Barbara home like Emma asked, Jack notices that Barbara's treatment has sure slowed her down. Holden compliments Jack on his leg healing so quickly. Jack comments that it won't be too long before he'll move out of Carly's and look for a place of his own. Paul returns from seeing Meg and tells Emma it's her turn. Going outside for a fresh breath, Paul doesn't believe his eyes when he sees Rosanna crossing the parking lot, coming towards him. Paul barks at Rosanna to leave, she's caused enough pain. Meanwhile, inside, Emma notices Meg watching Paul and Rosanna argue through her window. A slight smirk comes across her face and Emma says, "Alright, missy. Tell me what it is. Tell me what you're up to now."

    Casey comes home and finds Tom and Margo waiting in the living room for him. Casey ignores their presence, but they order him to sit. Margo says that it's been brought to their attention that Casey has been relentlessly pursuing Sofie and they find it very unhealthy to be pursuing someone so soon after being released. Margo lectures that she thinks Casey should focus on getting mentally in-shape, going to school, whatever...before he tries to think about love. Casey tells his parents that the only thing keeping him sane is Sofie, which Tom attributes to the absence of Maddie from his life. Casey flinches at the name and says that he's better off without her. Margo and Tom are shocked by Casey's cruel words and excuse him. Upstairs, Casey comes across an old photo of him and Maddie and rips it to shreds.

    Lucinda and Holden converge around Lily on the couch. Lily remains worries about Ethan, almost bolting from her seat everytime she hears him murmur over the baby monitor. Lucinda pleads with Lily to relax and Holden offers to stay on watch tonight. Lucinda brings up Ethan's illness as Lily goes to check on him to calm her own fears. Lucinda confides in Holden that she knows that Lily's worried and with just cause. Ethan would have never had these health problems had it not been for Craig, but she keeps punishing herself. Holden agrees, just as Lily rounds the corner. Lily yells at Lucinda and Holden that they must truly be happy to see that Ethan has fallen sick because of Craig's schemes. Perhaps, she explains, now that can wait with baited breath for Lily to change her mind about the kind of man she saw Craig as. Holden tries to pacify her, but she continues. "Well, it's not gonna happen!" she yells.

    Carly brings Rosanna some coffee as they wait for word on Meg. Rosanna recalls Meg flinging herself on the car, and haunted by it, seems almost sorry that she was going to tell Paul the truth. Carly asks about Paul, but Rosanna says the only time he spoke to her was when he hollered at her when they brought Meg in. The doctor comes in and speaks with Paul privately. Paul crumbles, screaming "No! Not again!" Carly remembers hearing of Emily miscarrying Paul's child and realizes that Meg must have miscarried as well. Rosanna tells Carly that it's impossible. The lab technician that she hired has been a trusted friend of hers for years and slaved over the results of the lab work Rosanna had done. Meg was never pregnant, she insists. As Paul approaches with teary eyes, he asks Rosanna if she's happy now. Meg has miscarried. Rosanna stands shocked, exchanging glances between a furious Paul and the doctor walking away. Rosanna chases the doctor down and demands to see some sort of proof. The doctor offers the lab work concerning the removal of the fetus and drops her mouth wide open. "Meg WAS pregnant. How can this be?" Rosanna stares in disbelief as Paul charges out of the hallway and into Meg's room.

    Luke goes by Al's and asks if anyone has seen Noah. Aaron catches up with him outside and offers to help look, but Luke says that when Noah gets mad like this, he runs off for a while and comes back. Luke reasons that Noah will be back soon and departs for home. Meanwhile, Noah runs into an old friend, Chip Harrison, who tells him that there's a party at the old mill. Noah reluctantly agrees to go. On the ride there, Chip tells of a rumor he heard that Noah was gay. Noah denies that he'd ever be gay and tells Chip to look at him. "Do I look gay?" he jokes. As he turns his head back towards the window, guilt swells his heart and with a breath only the pathetic can make, he wipes away the thought that he just denied himself and his boyfriend to an old friend, merely out of anger against Luke that all came about because of his murderous father. As they pull up at the party, Noah greets some old friends, in town for a hockey game. Chip introduces him to his friend Carrie [played by Martha Madison]. Noah asks what brings Carrie to Oakdale as a drunken Carrie rowdily replies, "How 'bout those Buffalo Sabres!!!" As everyone cheers, Chip nudges Noah with a beer, which he grabs and quickly drinks.

    A new day dawns as everyone gathers at Fairwinds for Meg's baby shower.

    Meg appears in the best of spirits, despite having to show thanks to Paul's urging.

    Carly arrives and brings Sage, who presents her Aunt Meg with a sweet, sentimental gift. Later, Sage runs to grab her camera from the car to take pictures of the event.

    Over at Barbara's, Gwen comes in and thanks Barbara for agreeing to see her. Gwen tells Barbara that she knows that she and Iris once struck up an alliance and although all of Barbara's deeds are in the past and Will and Gwen have forgiven her, Gwen says that she wants Barbara to check up on Iris, just released from rehab, and see if she has plans to return to Oakdale. Barbara agrees and Gwen confides that she doesn't want Iris to come back to town; she just wants to know that her mother's alright.

    Carly pulls Rosanna to the side and asks what she's up to. Rosanna confides that after today, everyone will realize the lying, scheming little b!tch Meg Snyder actually is. Carly, thinking that Rosanna's resentment towards Meg must be because of her inability to have children, warns her sister to be careful. Carly keeps her mouth shut in regards to why she thinks Rosanna hates Meg so much.

    As Susan turns around from clocking in at work, she comes face to face with Kim. Kim demands that Susan stay as far away from Bob as possible, especially in his fragile state. Susan replies that Bob isn't fragile. He's angry, and reasonably so. The last thing he needs while he's dealing with his anger towards his son is his wife offering to take him to see Chris in jail. Kim is shocked that Bob told her such a private detail from their home life and defends herself, citing that maybe seeing Chris in jail and talking with him might have snapped Bob into reality and showed him that Chris made a mistake and still loves his father unconditionally. Susan scoffs at it all and tells Kim that as she sees it, they need to make a truce. It's obvious that Bob is only reasonable and less moody when around Susan, for whatever the reason.

    Emma comes in and brings Meg a family heirloom. Katie doesn't come, but sends a gift. Lily arrives late with Ethan in tow. Lily says that she hasn't been able to get Meg a gift yet, but Meg smiles, saying that her being there with her healthy nephew in tow, is all she needs. Emma comments that Barbara's not in attendance and neither is Paul. Meg explains that Paul is home with the flu and Barbara is recovering from treatment.

    Rosanna calls everyone's attention. Meg sees that Rosanna is about to present her with a gift and excuses herself. Rosanna chases after her as the two women argue outside.

    Kim scolds that she can understand Bob in reasons Susan never will, not even in the sack. Susan almost slaps Kim, but holds herself back and tells Kim that she's going to continue to be there for Bob to lean on, because she's obviously the only one that Bob can relate to right now. Kim tearfully, angrily protests that Bob is her husband and he should feel comfortable around her. Susan replies that right now, he doesn't. Susan explains that all she wants to do is be there for him. She tells Kim that she doesn't give a dam what Kim thinks about it....she's helping a friend who needs her. Kim storms off and later comments to Lisa that Susan sure does have some nerve and snaps that Bob won't have another thing to do with Susan if she has anything to say about it.

    Rosanna confesses that she gave Meg a papercut on purpose and stuffed the bloody tissue in her purse. She sent it off to a lab and her good friend, a doctor, confirmed exactly what Rosanna knew all along. Meg isn't pregnant at all. Meg smirks and tells Rosanna that her petty attempts for attention are pathetic. Paul, she says, only has eyes for Meg. He could care less about Rosanna and besides his drunken tryst with her, he can't stand the thought of Rosanna when he's with Meg.

    Rosanna opens her gift to Meg, revealing the lab results from the bloody tissue. Rosanna exclaims that she has a great idea. Why don't they both go show Paul the results and see what he says. As Rosanna starts to drive off to confront Paul with the news that his girlfriend really isn't pregnant like she claims, Meg flings herself on the hood of the car. Rosanna slams on the brake, sending Meg crashing down to the ground. The ladies all scurry out as Rosanna hovers above an unconcious Meg.

    Noah arrives at the landlord's room just as Luke comes running around the corner. The landlord answers his door as Luke pleads with Noah not to do this. Noah asks the landlord what exactly the letter meant and the landlord snickers that he should ask his boyfriend. As the landlord slams the door, Luke breaks it to Noah that the landlord refused them a room not because they're gay but because Colonel Mayer was a killer and he (as well as the other tenants) feared Noah was, too. Noah stands in shock and in a rage, runs off as Luke chases after him.

Kim snickers, but tells Lisa that she can deal with her own husband. Kim approaches the table and tells Susan that she warned her once, and she's not warning her again. Later, Bob scolds Kim for making such a scene. Kim tells Bob that she's losing him more and more every day and she doesn't know if she can handle it.

    Jack hobbles to the kitchen to fix himself a sandwhich. Carly comes in and almost bragging, tells Jack about her run in with Katie. Jack says that Katie has always wanted children and if she wants something bad enough, she'll make sure she gets it. Carly tells Jack that frankly, as long as it's not with Jack, she doesn't care who Katie has children with. Jack takes Carly's statement as Carly being jealous, but Carly insists she's not.

First, he left out the part about going to prison and now, he leaves out the part about dating Maddie and breaking up with her while in prison.

Had it not been for Jack joining the force, he might have never lost his family.

He needs to provide for his family, yes, but he also needs to be there for them, especially after such a tragic chaos that happened with Parker shooting Sam. Carly backs Jack up as he tells Margo that his family needs him now more than ever. Jack points out that Parker killed a man to protect his parents. His father's tragic death at the hands of a juvenille bearing a gun might complicate Parker's understanding of the true heroicism of his actions and Jack and Carly need to be there for him.
