JACK is back at the station. MOLLY comes in and apologizes for the way she talked to Jack at the hospital. She says she needs a friend and that Lily is no good for Holden. CARLY walks in and surprises them. She says she is moving to Oakdale. Carly and Molly leave together and go to a motel room. Molly tells her that Holden knows the truth about their plot concerning Montana and that he won't have anything to do with her now. Carly says that it sounds like if Lily were out of the picture, things would be great. They both say they are broke. Carly wants to stay with Molly but Molly tells her she is homeless and she still owes Jack the $1000. Carly says they are going to need all the cash they can get their hands on. She says she has enough money for two nights at the motel and Molly can sleep on the floor. Carly leaves to get some air. Molly dreams about unplugging Lily's respirator, then awakens with a plotting look on her face.

HOLDEN is sitting in Lily's room when CAL comes in and tells him he should go home and rest but Holden won't leave. So Cal tells him to go in and tell Lily how he feels about her; she needs a reason to live. Holden goes in and tells Lily this is his fault and he is going to make it up to her. He talks to her about Luke.

CAMILLE and BEN are kissing as a brick is thrown through the window. It has a note attached which says "Make your boyfriend drop the case or next time it's your pretty face." Ben tells her to call 911 as he races out the door. The police arrive and talk to Camille. When Ben comes back in, Officer Tate realizes that he is the one who is suing the department. Tate and Ben argue. MARGO arrives and tells the other officers to go downstairs and see what they can find. Camille tells Margo that this isn't the first note she has received. She shows them the note she found in her purse. Margo invites Carly to stay with her and Tom. Ben says that they need to stop seeing each other until the trial is over.

While Mrs. Thompkins is gone to make tea, Nikki searches for some info on David. She finds a picture of him. When Mrs. T. comes back with the tea, Nikki picks up the picture and asks her about him. She tells them the he is now a hot-shot entrepreneur. She says that his parents died when he was a teenager. When Nikki asks how they died, she says that there was a terrible fire and doesn't like to talk about it. When she falls asleep on the couch, Nikki searches again and finds a family scrapbook containing an article about the Allens' house burning down and killing Mr. and Mrs. Allen. David was able to escape unharmed. Arson is suspected.

When HAL finds Jack asleep at his desk, he asks him why he isn't off on vacation. Hal tells him he needs to get a life -- get out and meet some women. They are interrupted by a 911 call from Samantha--a possible break-in at the Walsh residence. Jack goes to investigate.

Back at the hospital, Holden leaves Lily's room and tells Cal that he thinks he knows something that might help Lily pull through. As he leaves, Molly peeks around the corner near Lily's room. Cal walks down the hall and Molly goes into Lily's room. The last scene shows her reaching for the respirator plug.

CARLY asks DAVID if she can sit down at his table (at the coffee shop). They introduce themselves and she asks a few questions (which makes him uncomfortable) so he says he needs to go to the newsstand. She says she thinks she recognizes him. He tells her she might have seen him on TV because he used to be the district attorney. She finds out that he is not married and as he leaves, she congratulates herself on meeting one of Oakdale's most eligible bachelors.

SAMANTHA shows JACK where someone tried to break in. He looks out the window and sees that someone had a ladder outside. He goes out when he thinks he sees someone in the bushes. He brings him inside and Sam sees that it is KIRK. He says he wanted to surprise her. Kirk thinks Sam won't press charges but she tells Jack to book him. Kirk talks her out of it. She apologizes to Jack and tells him he can go. Kirk tells her that he came there with champagne and flowers and her wedding ring. He wants to call off the divorce. Sam finally says she can't live without him.

MOLLY reaches for the respirator plug in Lily's room but at the last minute pulls her hand back. Then HOLDEN charges in and asks why she is standing by Lily's bed. She says Lily was her friend and she wanted to see how she was (as he drags her out of the room). He tells her that night in the motel was a mistake and that she lied to get him to go to Montana so that he would be separated from Lily. Then Molly says that Lily got sick on purpose, maybe subconsciously. She leaves and Holden sits by the bed talking to Lily telling her how much he needs her. Even though she is not awake, he shows her the cat he carved for her long ago when Lucinda wouldn't let her have a real cat. He places her hand on top of the cat. As he continues to talk to her asking her to come back to him, she sees him in her mind and tells him she is afraid, then turns to go but turns back around and reaches out to take his hand. (This all takes place in a very bright light.) He sees her fingers move and her eyes flutter.

David arrives at EMILY'S at 6 a.m. bringing muffins. He tells her that he spent the night at the hospital with Lucinda. He says that even though he isn't really her son, he wants to be there for her. He feels like scum for deceiving her. His true identity is a complete lie and there is nobody who really knows what he is inside except Emily. When David tells her that Lucinda has offered him his own wing in her mansion, Emily gets all upset because she says Lucinda will never let her near him. He insists that it is never going to happen. He wants to be there only long enough to cement their relationship. He falls asleep with his head in her lap as she is telling him that a Rachel Adams from a Chicago newspaper looks like a good candidate for a position as columnist on her paper.

Molly is in the motel room working on her romance novel which is a story similar to her relationship with Holden. Carly comes in and tells Molly that she is leaving because Molly is a drag--always whining about Holden!!! She says that Molly is driving her crazy with this stupid victim scene. "If you want Holden, DO something to get him." Then Molly tells Carly that she almost killed Lily. She says that if Holden hadn't come, she doesn't know what she would have done. Carly then starts unpacking and says she will stay. When Carly goes in the bathroom, Molly picks up the letter Carly has been carrying around and reads it until Carly grabs it ouf of her hand. Molly wants to know what it is all about. Carly reluctantly tells her about the arrangement Rosanna made. She says she is going to find a single guy, get a ring on her finger and get "knocked up" as soon as she can. She tells Molly that she (Molly) is a fighter but the trick is also to be a winner. They decide to stick together, get jobs and a place of their own. Carly will help Molly get Holden and Molly can help her get--whoever.

Back in the hospital room, Lily is unhooked from the respirator but still asleep. BOB tells Holden that the diagnosis is pericarditis, not cardiomyopathy and the prognosis is very good. After Bob leaves the room, Lily opens her eyes and Holden tells her he is going to take care of her if she will let him.

JOHN carries BARBARA downstairs. He brings in her kids and Bob, Lisa, Hal, etc., etc. for an engagement celebration. Margo leaves to go to work. John makes a toast to Barbara and their baby. Nancy warns John about how hard their lives are going to be with a new baby and two small children, but he says he has not been in on his other kids' early lives. Barbara tells Hal that they told the kids together about the wedding and the baby but she told them that Hal was their daddy and always will be. Hal says he just wants it to work out and will do anything to help. He takes the kids outside to play. John tells Barbara that the baby is the best thing that ever happened to him.

CARLY is telling MOLLY about Rosanna and how rich she is. Molly tells Carly she really needs to think about having a baby because of how miserable she was when she was pregnant, but then when they took Abigail away from her it was like they ripped her heart out. Carly gets upset because of what she went through losing her own baby (which Molly knows nothing about). Carly tells her about the baby she lost and how much she really loved Mike, but never again. She says that she has to be really careful about who she chooses (to be the father). Carly asks Molly if she knows anything about David Allen. Molly says he is not somebody Carly wants to hook up with. Carly says she has a plan for Molly to get Holden. They go to the hospital. Later Carly tells Molly "Doug" is going to meet her in the waiting room shortly and Molly needs to leave. Doug comes in and Carly comes on to him. She tells him she wants to get to know him. He says, "About this favor. What is it about?" "It's complicated." "The patient's name is Lily Grimaldi?" Carly--"Go for it!"

LILY wakes up in the morning and finds HOLDEN has been there all night. She says that she needs him to tell her about him and Molly. Holden tells her the whole Montana story. But he tells her that if they are going to get past what happened, he has to be honest--Molly is not the only one to blame. He says he let it happen because they have a child together and he thought it was the responsible thing for him to do to help find her. What Lily saw in the motel room--he is sorry. EMMA comes in and tells Lily that Luke is fine and they are all happy about her improvement. Holden leaves and Emma stays. She tells Lily that Holden was whispering in her ear telling her how much he loves her. She calls Bob in to Lily's room to hear in person that Lily is going to be better. When Emma and Bob leave, Holden sits down by Lily's bed and Molly peeks through the window seeing him. She tells Carly, "OK, do it." Lily tells Holden that something happened last night. She tells him about her "dream" and that at first she didn't want to come back but then she did want to after hearing his words.

PETER and DAVID are talking about Nikki and Terri. David thinks they have been scared off. EMILY comes in and says she doesn't think so. She tells him about Nikki showing her where the date book was when he left it at the club.

NIKKI and TERRI are at the police station in Hal's office trying to dig up some dirt on David--something about the fire. Margo comes in and finds them and is suspicious when they tell her they are working on a report. She asks if there is one particular case they are looking at. They are looking into general investigative procedures. Emily comes in. She and Margo go out into the hallway. Emily says that she doesn't think she needs the therapy at the Rape Crisis Center because she has David to talk to now. Margo says she is making a big mistake. She warns Emily that she hasn't known him that long and she shouldn't quit group therapy. Emily goes back to see David and asks him if everything is out in the open between the two of them. Of course he says yes. His Aunt Kathleen (Mrs. Tompkins) calls on the phone and says she has been thinking about him because of the two college girls who came to her house last night after their car broke down. They saw his picture and asked questions about him. She says one of the girls was Asian. She says all she told them was how proud she was of him. He tells her to call him if anybody else comes asking anything about him. Emily leaves saying she knows how to handle two nosy little teenagers.

At the Clinic, SUSAN asks BEN where Camille is. She continues that she thinks that he and Camille make a great couple. Ben tells her that they are no longer seeing each other. Susan is sorry she said anything. CAMILLE comes in and Ben ignores her. Ben comes back around and continues his charade. When the coast is clear, he apologizes. Camille tells him that she doesn't like doing this. He starts to kiss her and they hear a loud crash. Ben runs to the front doors to see what happened. It was just the fellow who fills the magazine rack, he accidentally knocked it over. Ben is relieved. He tells her that he doesn't like putting on this act, but he has to so she can be safer. "Don't go giving away my chair," Ben smiles. LEW over hears them talking about their little plan to see each other on the sly while pretending to be broke up. Ben leaves and Lew walks up to Camille. He wants to know how she's been. He takes her hand and tells her that he's been worried about her, that he heard about the brick. He tells her that it's only going to get uglier before it gets better. Lew tells Camille that she needs to get away from Ben Harris. Lew tells Camille that if Ben cared for her, that he'd have her away someplace safe. Camille tells Lew about her and Ben's plan. Lew tells her that that is good and starts to asks her other questions. Camille lets him know that it is none of his business. Lew tells her that if she needs him....Camille says she won't and walks away. Lew calls his wife, PAMELA, she wants to know when her wonderful, handsome husband is going to be home. They talk awhile and Lew tells her that he can't be home this weekend, but soon. They tell each other, "I love you" and hang up. Ben comes out of an examining room and Lew tells Ben that he could get Camille a job in another area if it would help. Ben looks at him funny. Lew explains that Camille told him about their game plan.

At the Snyder Farm, JACK tells EMMA that it's time for him to move out and be on his own. If he doesn't get the ball rolling he'll never go. Emma wants to know if she's done anything wrong. Jack assures her that she's been nothing but wonderful and she's the hardest thing to leave. He tells her that he just feels like a kid there. Emma wants to know if he's having trouble with Holden and if that trouble is Molly. Jack tells her that he feels like a idiot, because he suffered from a leftover teenage crush he'd had on Molly. Emma tells him that Molly does have some good qualities. Jack asks her not to go there. "We are all better off to have Molly out of our lives," Jack says. Emma lets him know that her kitchen door will always be open to him. She tries to comfort him. "Someone will come along for you," Emma smiles. Later, Jack is on the phone calling around about housing. The person he's on the phone with tells him about a place over in Milltown, the Kasnoff place. Jack tells them that he can meet them there now.

At the hospital lounge area, CARLY sweet talks the LAB TECH into doing her a favor. She'd really like to see him again, she schmoozes and give him a phone number. "Call me when you get finished with the favor", she says. He'll go do it now and call her tonight, he tells her. Off he hurries and MOLLY steps out of the shadows and grins a Carly. Carly tells Molly that she shouldn't be there. CAL walks up and seconds that statement. Cal all of a sudden realizes that it's Carly standing there. "I thought you left for good along time ago," Cal states. Carly lets him know that she's back and she's gonna be around for a while. Cal tells her that she doesn't have any family left here and if she's lookin' for Mike, he's long gone. Carly tells him that she does have family still here and tells him about Molly being her cousin. "Well that explains quite a lot." Cal says with a tinge of disgust and finishes telling Carly that breaking up relationships must run in the family. Cal tells them both that they'd be better of somewhere else and leaves. Molly tells Carly that she has a plan on how to get them back on their feet financially. Carly wants to know what it is, but Molly just grins and leaves. Carly sees a couple and their new baby across the room and is caught up in the moment. SUSAN walks up and says, "Carly, is that you?" Carly is glad to see a friendly face. They talk about the past for a while. Carly tells her that she got over the loss of the baby and Mike. She'd just rather not discuss the past anymore. She thanks Susan for all of the help she gave her back then. Susan tells Carly to stay in touch. Carly runs over to Mike's old house. She opens the gate, that is sporting a "For Rent" sign. Her mind flashes back to a scene between her and Mike while she was in the hospital, right after she'd lost their baby. She stays with her memories for a while. "Don't do this, Carly." She tells herself, "Don't let this break you." She just starts to get up and Jack walks up.

At the City Times, EMILY tells JIMMY that she needs to see the head reporter right now. Jimmy asks if she's forgotten about lunch. She tells him that she'll just skip it. He reminds her that she has a one o'clock meeting with a certain person about some news things. She totally forgot and sends Jimmy off to the Falcon Club to meet with this person to tell her to come by the office at her next convenience. Jimmy leaves. MOLLY strolls in. Emily wants to know what she's doing there. Molly tells her that she came about getting a job as staff writer. Emily tells her that she's too busy to listen to her. Molly insists that she take five minutes to listen to her. Molly says that she'd make an excellent advice columnist. Emily laughs at her and reminds her that her last job was as a bartender. Molly tells her, exactly...and that's why she'd make it good at that job. Emily tells her that she doesn't care to because she's already having a hard enough time with Lucinda with out hiring the person who almost killed her daughter. Molly asks Emily if she believes everything she hears, because that wasn't how it was. All she did was love a man that Lily was stupid enough to throw away. "Do you know what it's like to have the Walsh's against you in this town?" Molly asks. Molly asks her to just give her a chance to prove herself. She'd even use a pen name. Emily agrees to look at her manuscript to see what talent she's got.

In Lily's hospital room, HOLDEN promises LILY that he'll never do anything to hurt her like that, again. Lily tells him about her vision she had while she was unconscious. Holden was calling to her and holding out his hand to her. She resisted at first and then took his hand. He tells her that he loves her so much and wants her to forgive him. She tells him that she wants to, but it just hurts so much. He tells her that he wants to help make the hurting stop. If he could take it back he would. Lily tells him that he can't take back what she saw. Holden tells her that he has the same problem, only its him visualizing her watching him from the doorway at the motel. He knows what she felt, he's always known what she feels and it's killing him knowing that he's the one that caused her so much pain. "I will change it for you", Holden says. He tells her that he wouldn't be there with here right now if he didn't think they could make it. Lily tells him that she'd like to believe that. Holden tells her that when he first went out to Montana, he thought they might be better off apart, because they just kept hurting each other. But as soon as she got the call from his mama, he knew. It was the first time he thought he'd ever truly lose her. "Here's the one person I love more than anyone in the world and I could lose her. What they have is worth it. It's worth the extra try. Lily needs her medication. Holden tells her that he'll go. Lily asks him to stay. Lily tells him that she packed up and got rid of everything that reminded her of him, but she was still hiding from something. It was how much she cared about him. When she was sick, she wanted him there to tell her it would be all right. "Everything will be all right. I promise. It has to be," Holden softly tells her. "The thought of my life, Luke's life... without you in it, seems wrong," Lily says. She tells him that what happened with he and Molly nearly killed her, literally. "But, I love you as much as ever," Lily says quietly. They kiss. Cal walks in and apologizes for interrupting. Holden tells him that he'll leave them to talk for a few. When Holden walks out the door his mom, Emma, is there. He picks her up, swings her around, tells her that she was right and wants to know if she knows how much he loves her. Emma wants to know just what she was right about. Holden tells her that Lily is going to give their relationship another chance and they are going to take it slow. "I'm actually feeling a bit hungry," He tells her. Emma takes Holden off to grab a bite to eat. Inside the room, Cal tells Lily not to waist her time taking it slow. He knows, he's been there. That taking it slow was just a way to punish the person who'd hurt you, when they were already beating themselves up enough and just needed love instead. He's talking about what happened between he and Connor. He tells her that by the time he'd figured that out, she'd slipped away. Lily understands his message and sends him to go get Holden for her. As soon as Cal was gone, the LAB TECH that Carly seduced comes walking into Lily's room telling her that he only needs a moment of her time. He tells her that they have some lab test results for someone, but the last known address was her home. Lily is worried and wants to know if it's Damian, is something wrong with him. He tells her that no it's good news. It's for a Molly Conlin, the results of her pregnancy test are in.
