At Bay City General
Rachel coming out of Dr. Brogan's office in tears and Cass was outside waiting for her. Cass asks Rachel if she was alright and she told him she was fine and ask if he was checking up on her. Cass told Rachel he was just concerned, but assures her that he told nobody about their talk, not even Felicia. Rachel tells him good because the last thing she needs was to be part of the Bay City Rumor Mill. Cass told her to forget about the rumor mill, and asks her what did the doctor say. Rachel told him that the doctor wants to examine Carl, but getting him to admit there was something wrong with him was the problem. Cass told her that Carl must go see a doctor, but Rachel says that Carl won't go. Cass then told Rachel that Felicia was positive that Carl was behind the Embers In The Snow incidents. Rachel doesn't understand why he'd be doing this. Cass doesn't know, but he told Rachel that he's going to confront Carl about this unless she handles it. Rachel assures Cass that Carl won't hurt him, but Cass no longer believes that, telling Rachel that if she doesn't do something quick, he will.

At The Cory Mansion
Felicia comes up quietly behind Carl just as he was rolling up a miniature sword in a note. Carl hurries and puts it away, accusing Felicia of sneaking up behind him. Felicia asks Carl where was Rachel at. He told her she was out right now. Felicia then notices that Carl has his own copy of Embers In The Snow, she also saw him putting the sword away, but doesn't mention it to him that she saw him. Carl told Felicia that he was not in the mood for her interrogations right now. Felicia told him fine, then she will do the talking. Felicia then accuses Carl of being behind all the events from her book coming to life. Carl asks her why would he do that and Felicia says that she doesn't know why, yet. Carl told her that she really has a high opinion of her work. Felicia told Carl that for the longest time she believed that he was a changed man, but now she realizes that he hasn't changed one bit. Carl swears to her that he had nothing to do with the Embers In The Snow incidents. They eventually get into an argument and Carl told her that she was the one who got involved with a homicidal maniac and she was probably the one who is behind the incidents all along. Felicia accuses Carl of taking advantage of Lorna. Carl then uses that accusation as Felicia's reason for siding with Matt and Amanda and trying to drive him crazy and ruin his image to Rachel.

Felicia told Carl that this was far from over and she leaves. Amanda and Carl start arguing and Amanda told Carl true it was wrong for her to pretend to be Hadley Prescott to break up her mother's marriage, but she apologized for that and if Carl expects her to grovel at his feet for the rest of her life, not to count on it. She then told him that Rachel was terrified at what he would do if he found out that she was Hadley Prescott and that was why she didn't tell him. Carl told her that he and Rachel are past all of that, but Amanda told him she was not so sure he is. She then told Carl that this house was like Fort Knox and there are armed guards all around them. She then asks him why would he bring someone like Cameron there and why was he so paranoid. Carl told her that he was making this house safe. Amanda told him that he was being paranoid and has no reason to be. Carl laughs in her face telling her that's a laugh in itself. First she acts like Hadley Prescott to break him and her mother up and then her and Matthew bring Alexander Nikos to Bay City to kill him. He then told her that Rachel had to take a mans life because of her and Matthew. Amanda told Carl that her and Matt never meant to hurt anybody. Carl says just him. He tells her that most young women of her age have moved out of Daddy's house and are married with children, unlike her who has sent her child a million miles away to get her out of her way. Carl's words sting Amanda who's eyes begin to tear up at his harsh words. Carl then told her she was obsessed with her mother's life and has been spoiled and ruined by her own father. Amanda asks him why she keeps bringing Mac up and Carl told her that if Mac Cory was such a saintly man, then how was it that he raised such useless children. Carl says that Mac was a liar, a cheat, and a thief. Amanda says that she was not going to stand here and listen to this. Rachel shows up and says that she doesn't have to.

Felicia shows up to tell him about what happened and that Carl has a miniature sword locked in his desk. Cass then tells Felicia that Rachel has gone to see a neurologist about Carl. When Cass tells Felicia that he's going to confront Carl, Felicia says that may not be a good idea because they don't have concrete proof of what he's doing.

Back At The Cory's

Carl told her that was not necessary, he just wanted to hear her make the offer. Carl told Rachel that he will go to the doctor.

At Carlino's,
Cass was on to Lila as he told her that it all makes sense now, you're carrying a baby, it just isn't Shane's baby. Lila told him that's the craziest thing she's ever heard in her entire life. Cass says that's very convincing. That little display of utter shock was so well rehearsed. He looks at his watch and told her that in about 1 minute, I'm sure you'll turn indignant and accusatory. Lila told him that the very idea that this baby could be any... But stops short and spouts, well who else's baby would it be. Cass told her that he hasn't figured that one out yet, but even though her routine hasn't worked on him, he's sure there are plenty of guys out there who'd jump at the bait. Naming Dr. Nolan, for one. Lila has that (how dare you) think that look on her face and told Cass she hasn't slept with Dr. Nolan. Cass told her, oh right he's just your doctor, he can't keep his hands off you because he's constantly taking your pulse. Lila tells Cass for his information, Dr. Nolan happens to be a kind and considerate gentleman. Something he would know absolutely nothing about. Cass checks his watch again and says, indignant and accusatory right on schedule. Lila says, that's right. I find Dr. Nolan interesting and attractive. Cass laughs in her face and told her that she can drop the act. As much as he was enjoying this little tap dance routine, he's wise to her now. Lila told him the thought of him thinking this baby could be anyone else's but Shane's was rude and insulting. Cass told her he thought it was rather ingenious of him. Lila asks him if he thinks this is some kind of a joke, adding why would I sleep with anyone, I love Shane. He's the only man I love. Cass told her he could think of a number of reasons, but since you find my ideas so comical, I'll go and share them with someone else, someone who could use a good laugh. Lila looks worried as she asks Cass "like who." Cass says, "like Vicky McKinnon."

At Vicki's Place,
Grant and Jake get into a heated discussion and Grant pushes Jake unto the swing chair in the back, grabbing Jake by the collar. Jake breaks free, telling Grant to get off of him, as Vicky tries to stop them from arguing over her. Jake told Vicky he doesn't need her to stop him and to let Grant say what he has to say. Grant told Jake that he's not going to stand by while he talks about the mother of his child like that. Vicky told Grant that was enough, but Grant was just getting starting. He asks Jake who does he think he his to look down on people and pass moral judgements, adding that if Jake was without sin, why doesn't he do everybody a favor and join a monastery and leave Vicky and her kids alone. Jake doesn't say a word, he just lets Grant ramble on. Vicky tries to intervene by telling Grant that Jake has suffered enough and he was not to blame for her mistakes. Grant laughs at this one and told Vicky that Jake was just as much to blame for Michael and Shane's death. He then told Jake, wasn't it him who went up to the cabin that night and lied to an officer out of spite, jealousy and revenge. He finishes by telling Jake he was the reason Michael and Shane are dead and Vicky should be glad that out of some miracle she isn't dead. Vicky tells Grant that's enough and asks him to leave. As Grant was walking away, Vicky apologizes to Jake for everything that went on here and thanks him for showing up at Kirkland's party. Jake told her in light of all that has just happened, he feels it would be best if he cut out as well. As he turns to leave, Kirkland comes out of the house and yells "Jake, I just knew you would come" and runs into Jake's arms. Grant was still lurking around and has witnessed all of this. Jake asks Kirkland if he was having a nice time at his birthday party. Kirkland told him he was now that Jake was here. That little line pains Grant who was still lurking behind a tree. Kirkland taps into Jake's heart when he questions Jake about why he isn't there anymore, adding that he thought they all got married so they could stay a family. As they talk, Kirkland tells Jake that he wants Jake to read him a story and tuck him in like he use to do, which Jake agrees to do. Jake and Vicky go upstairs and Kirkland shows Vicky a model of their house that he and Steven made her for Mother's Day, which was supposed to be a surprise. Vicky smiles and comments on the house and sits down with them. Jake told Kirkland to go and brush his teeth. Kirkland leaves the room and Jake accuses Vicky of using the kids to get to him, but Vicky says she would never use her kids for personal gain. Vicky leaves so Jake can read Kirkland a story. Outside the bedroom door, Vicky realizes that their marriage was far from over. Later, Vicky went back into the room and finds Jake asleep with Kirkland.

At The Cory Mansion,
Amanda was outside on the terrace wandering aimlessly around thinking; Cameron was watching her from the window up top in his room. The phone rings and he answers it; it's Josie. Josie asks why he hasn't called. Cameron says there was nothing to report. Josie threatens to pull the plug on the FBI sting and Cameron told her no because he's not going back to where he was. Cameron told Josie that something was going down here, he just needs a little more time. Josie gives him the go head, but orders him to check in with her tomorrow morning. Cameron returns to the window to finish staring at Amanda.

Sensing someone was watching her, Amanda looks up to find that it was Cameron. Their eyes lock momentarily and then Amanda walks back into the house. Rachel was sitting there in the study when Amanda comes and sits by her to talk about Cameron. Amanda told Rachel that Cameron warned her not to bring Allie home. Rachel shocks Amanda when she told her that she and Carl are leaving Bay City. Amanda asks Rachel what was going on now and why was it so hard for Carl to live under her daddy's roof. Rachel told her it was the best thing for Carl and before she can jump to any conclusions, the idea to leave Bay City was hers not Carl's. Carl comes in and realizes that Rachel has told Amanda the news. Amanda asks Carl what he was up to. Carl told her he's not up to anything, and the nice thing about it all was that her and Matt don't know where they are going. Rachel and Carl leave and Cameron comes in. Amanda tells Cameron that Carl and Rachel are planning on leaving. Cameron becomes upset and asks her where and when, but Amanda doesn't know. Cameron seems very concerned and rushes out.

The Meeting Spot,
Cameron meets up with Josie and told her that Carl was taking Rachel and the kids and splitting town. Cameron was sure that Carl has hired a hit man and swears to Josie that he will get the proof. Josie wants to pull him out of the house, but Cameron refuses to leave. Josie realizes that this was getting personal and someone in that house was getting under his skin. Cameron says that he's only obsessed with his job. Josie doesn't believe him and says that he's interested in Amanda. Cameron laughs and says that princess, he knows Amanda was off-limits. Josie says right and warns Cameron to not let Amanda get close. Cameron told her he has to get back and leaves.

Back at Carlino's,
Lila told Cass that she won't have him sharing his ridiculous ideas around town. Cass told her he saw the look in her eyes at the mere mention of Vicky's name. Lila says, of course you did; I can't stand the woman. Cass says it was because Shane put her in charge of his estate. Lila told him Vicky already turned all of that over to Shane's heir, but Cass told her that Vicky can take it all back if she finds out the baby Lila was carrying isn't Shane's baby. Cass told her that legally, the agreement would be null and void and she wouldn't get a dime. That's what this was all about, isn't it Lila, getting your hands on some cold-hard cash? Lila told him Shane's baby has a right to its inheritance. Cass told her absolutely, but it only has a right to Shane's estate if it's Shane's baby. Lila adamantly told him it was Shane's baby. Cass told her he wonders if a blood test would bear that out adding that he doubts a lie detector test would. Lila asks him why he so concerned about all of this any way. Cass told her he takes a personal interest in all of his clients. Lila spouts back the only personal interest he has taken in her, was to make her life miserable. Felicia arrives and Cass asks her where has she been. Felicia told Cass she has to talk to him and heads in the back. Cass turns and told Lila they'll have to put their pleasant little chat on hold, but not to despair because he plans to pick-up where they left off. Lila gathers up her packages and told Cass that she has nothing further to say to him on this or any other subject. Cass told her she is playing with fire, by borrowing money from loan sharks and expecting to pay it back with money she may never see. Lila told him to take care of his own life, she'll be fine and leaves. Once outside, Lila was extremely nervous of how true his accusations are and how right he was about the loans she's taken out. She then told herself she has to think of someone fast, someone who owes her. She calls someone on her cell phone and told then, "we need to talk."

Inside Carlino's,
Felicia told Cass about finding the note attached by a small ceremonial sword on her door. They both think of Carl and Felicia grabs Cass's hands and says it's time they got some answers, as they leave to go to the Cory's.

Back at the Cory's,
Felicia and Cass have made it there and are waiting for Rachel and Carl in the study. Rachel and Carl enter wondering what this late night visit is for. Cass and Felicia confront Carl about the sword and note. Carl says that he's done everything he can to help them, but now he told them to take their silly little problem to the police. Rachel sticks up for Carl and says that Carl would have no motive to torment either one of them. Felicia says that she thinks this has to do with Mac and that he resents that they were Mac's good friends. Rachel told Felicia and Cass that she will not allow them to stand in her house and accuse Carl of heinous acts. Felicia tries to reason with Rachel, but Cass realizes that there was no way they can win. Felicia and Cass leave and when Amanda shows up, Carl told her that Cass and Felicia are no longer welcome in this house. Rachel decides to take a walk. Cameron returns to the Cory mansion and asks Carl if he's moving. Carl says word travels fast. Cameron asks if he can be of any help, but Carl says no and gives him the night off. Carl then asks Amanda to organize a going away party for her mother.

Out on the grounds, Rachel went to Mac's grave; she told him about how she hates to say goodbye to the children and leave with Carl. Rachel knows something was wrong with Carl, but she says she can't just give up on him. She must save Carl with her love, just as Mac saved hers with his love. Back inside, Carl drinks some wine and thanks Rachel for passing his test.

Upstairs, Amanda shows up at Cameron's door in a nightgown. Cameron was on to her and asks her what was it that she wants now. Amanda told him the only way to find out was to ask her in.

At Lila's Place,
Lila returns home to find Grant waiting inside her apartment. Grant tells Lila that seeing that she called him, she must need money. Lila told Grant that's not the reason she called, but before she can get into it, Grant cuts her off and told her he has a way she can finish the job she started on Vicky. Grant told Lila that Jake was over at Vicky's place for Kirkland's party and he figures out that Jake and Vicky will be back together in about a week. Lila told Grant that Jake would never going back to that lying tramp, because she fixed that. Grant told Lila that together they can convince Jake that Shane and Vicky did sleep together in exchange, he will help Lila with her money problems
