Barbara summoned Emma to her suite and actually apologized for her behavior
at the wedding, but that quickly devolved into an argument between the
overprotective moms. Bottom line? Emma wanted Babs to keep Paul away from
her daughter.
Lucy vehemently protested Craig’s plan to have her bring Johnny to the
hospital so they could all go home together. She finally stopped blustering
for a minute to realize that her father was testing her. He confirmed that
he was, but she still tried to convince him that it was a bad idea. That’s
when his lawyer showed up with a court order for temporary custody
overnight. Lucy’s next tactic was to suggest that Barbara won’t just hand
the kid over, so she offered to go alone. Craig wanted to send his lawyer
and, if necessary, the cops. As she left, Craig creepily thanked his
“Lullaby” for taking his side. The test isn’t over, clearly. Lucy went over
to Barbara’s suite to collect Johnny and, as expected, met plenty of
opposition. “I will go to my grave before I let you lay a hand on that
baby,” she announced.
Paul confronted Emily at the hospital about her demolition of his wedding.
“I don’t want you,” Em said. “That’s too bad, Emily, because now you’ve got
me … as an enemy.” Meg found them arguing, but mostly didn’t care because
she wasn’t interested in seeing either one of them. Nevertheless, Paul
begged for a moment alone with his non-bride. She reluctantly gave him one,
which he used to murmur about how he wants her to remember that she loves
him and to again argue that Craig deserves to die when his sister is dead.
“Craig is gonna take Johnny and erase Jennifer,” he said. “I am not going to
let that happen.” She understood, but argued that they can’t have a future
because he won’t change. In spite of his promise not to try to murder
anybody if she’d come back to him, she said tearfully said that she couldn’t
be a good person with him. He warned her to stay away from Craig, who is “a
whole lot more dangerous than I am.” Craig (who had eavesdropped on the
whole conversation) approached Paul to gloat as soon as Meg walked away. “So
you think I’m dangerous, huh? Oh, how right you are,” Craig told him.
Katie cajoled Henry into donning yet another disguise — this time looking
like a 19th century Euro-trash magician — to con a ferociously flirtatious
Vienna into talking about the diamond theft. She was just getting to the
good stuff when she spotted (and ran into the arms of) Mike, who promptly
blew Henry’s cover. “Why are you wearing that stupid beard?” he asked,
spoiling all the fun. Mike quickly deduced that Katie was behind all the
hijinks, and Vienna noted that if they had only asked her, she would have
happily reported that she lied when she originally said the jewels weren’t
stolen. She hopefully asked if Mike and “his wife” were trying to put Simon
in jail, and was then delighted to learn that Mike is now a single man. But
Mike, wanting nothing to do with any of this, took off, so Vienna turned to
Henry for sloppy seconds. Katie, having struck out again with Mike,
interrupted them to enlist Henry in helping find out why Simon hasn’t been
arrested yet.
Jack stopped Sage from revealing the homeless lady’s present (the diamond
necklace) to interrogate Simon and Carly about … her diamond necklace,
which she was happily willing to turn over for testing. Simon put on a good
show about rejecting that idea, noting that it was a gift after all, and
Jack should trust his ex-wife. Jack offered to get a search warrant, even
though a sympathetic Carly was willing to give him the necklace. Once he
left, Carly scolded Simon for making fun of her ex. Simon jealously pouted
that it upsets him to hear Jack call Carly a liar; she pointed out that
that’s exactly what she is, and Jack was going for the search warrant to
give them a chance to get rid of the evidence. Simon then told her that if
being with him makes her feel bad about herself, they can just break up.
Clearly annoyed about her obsession with Jack, he also reminded her that
they can’t undo what they’ve done. After fondly calling him “incorrigible,”
she and Sage went home alone.
Meanwhile, Mike, Katie and Henry showed up at the police station to browbeat
Jack about the jewel theft case. “Go home. The wheels of justice will still
be turning without you gathered around my desk,” he told them. Mike (who was
really there to make sure that Vienna came to Jack instead of scheming with
Katie and Henry) rejected his wife again, but did ask Henry to make sure
she’s okay. It’s really a good thing Henry’s not holding a grudge against
those two. Mike stuck around to chat with Jack, who was pretending to file
things to stay away from Katie. Mike apologized for his ex: “I’m sorry she
got so…” “Insulting? Obnoxious? Rude?” responded Jack awesomely. Jack
knows Katie, so he was well aware that her behavior is about getting Mike
back. Mike wondered if Carly was involved — and if Jack even wants to know
what happened the night of the ball. At the same time, Katie barreled
forward with her plan to destroy Simon, thus somehow proving her love for
Mike: she told Henry that they have to steal Carly’s necklace.
