On their secure cell phones, Simon and Carly again declared their love,
before he basically insisted that she deserves a better life than being on
the run with him, so she should just let him go. Alone. You’d think he’d
have that speech down by now, but Carly, like Katie before her, wasn’t
willing to accept that so easily. (This is why he’s always having to fake
his death!) So she grabbed a stack of cash (!) and her passport out of the
convenient Snyder lockbox and went to the Lakeview, where she met with Lisa
about a possible interior design job. First, though, she excused herself to
go to the ladies’ room.
After being guilted by Katie for helping Simon, Henry snuck the Aussie out
of the Lakeview in a giant laundry basket. Katie tattled to Jack that Simon
was probably in Henry’s room; he got a search warrant, but by the time they
got inside, both men were gone. Katie was feeling a bit regretful and tried
to ask Jack to go easy on Henry, even while he throws the book at her other
ex-husband. She feigned ignorance when Jack needed help trying to listen to
messages on the cell phone — the password turned out to be Bubbles — but he
figured it out on his own and heard a message from Carly. Katie ran off to
warn Henry. Meanwhile, Carly showed up in his darkened room calling for
Henry — only to be caught by Jack, who found the passport and cash in her
purse and could barely contain his heartbreak. “What happens now?” she
asked. “The last thing I ever wanted. Carly Snyder, you’re under arrest…”
he responded, reading her full Miranda rights.
Will caught Adam and Gwen listening to a track on the same earphones
together — a close moment for Adam — and asked to speak to his brother about
the bills from L.A. An annoyed Adam used his slick L.A.-producer speak to
explain away some of the exorbitant expenses that Will quite reasonably
questioned. Will stayed calm, noting that he doesn’t want to “nickel and
dime” them but that he hadn’t anticipated such frivolous expenditures like
fancy lunches for the support staff, who were already being paid for their
services. (“That’s L.A.” was Adam’s standard retort). He also noted that his
trust fund doesn’t really provide endless bushels of cash; there’s a yearly
limit that they’ve nearly exceeded. Adam slick producer-ed that Will just
doesn’t get that records cost money, but more to the point, he thinks Will
just wants it to be over with so that he and Gwen will stop spending time
together. Gwen heard this and demanded to know what Adam’s problem is. She
defended her husband, who suggested that they just finish their session
while he goes to study/cool off. Alone, Adam blamed Will’s “screwed-up
mother” for Will’s selfishness and then invented some history about how
their relationship was when they were growing up together. (Though the idea
of, say, Margo having inadvertently given Adam such a negative impression of
her longtime adversary Babs is awesome. Of course, that’s our revisionist
history.) Gwen continued to defend Will. The young Munsons met up later and
confirmed that things are okay between them, but Will secretly looked a
little conflicted.
Susan was trying to talk to Paul about his weird behavior, when Meg arrived
and his eyes filled with stars. Susan allowed them a moment alone, during
which Paul gushed about how Meg is his reason for living. Paul warned her
that Craig is still dangerous and begged her to give him a second chance.
She was clearly still quite torn about her feelings for him, but tried to
leave. When he touched her he got kind of an x-ray shock, followed by a
vision of a pool of liquid set on fire. This naturally knocked him sort of
catatonic. Outside his room, Susan asked Bob if someone coming out of a
brain injury could have extra-sensory awareness. “Is this a joke?” he asked,
awesomely, but Susan argued that Paul really does seem to be developing some
psychic ability. Bob’s attempts at logic and to laugh it off didn’t really
work, and he just kind of walked away. Meanwhile, Paul told a worried Meg
about his new powers. When Meg confided this latest bit of nuttiness to
Susan, the doc excitedly confirmed that this isn’t the first time it
happened. Meg didn’t want to get involved, but Susan was practically ready
to call John Edward. When she got paged and left, Paul had the vision again,
this time with Meg floating in the liquid. “Poison” he uttered, as Meg got a
cup of coffee at Java (and we got lots of ominous close-ups of it).
