After Maddie’s heads-up, Gwen wasn’t happy about Will throwing his newfound cash Jade’s way. Gwen argued that money was the root of all evil. (Actually, it’s “the love of money,” but we quibble.) Will then claimed that she had nothing to worry about with him and Jade. Will brushed off Maddie’s paranoia and Gwen groused that it would’ve been nice if he’d run his plan to fund Jade’s digs by her. Will described his hug with Jade as a “nothing hug,” and Gwen was glad to hear it. “I know there’s no way you’d ever lie to me again.” Gwen and Will twinkled about life as collegiate marrieds. “We can share the last strand of spaghetti, Lady and the Tramp-style,” Will mused. They could get some pasta for tonight: “Woof!”
Lia taunted Maddie, saying she and Casey were planning to skinny-dip at the country club pool. Maddie called Casey, but Lia hung up the phone. Lia then tried to entice Casey with a “hot, steamy shower.” Weepy Maddie snagged a knife from the counter inside Crash…. At the club, Casey turned down the offer to shower with a very topless Lia, but he followed her to the showers and told her to grab her stuff so they could go. He pulled away, when she dropped her towel and got under the spray.
Outside the cottage, Simon bounced back from Mike’s punch, snarking, “I love what you’ve done with the place.” He told Mike and Katie that he was flush with cash and sticking around. Simon explained to the Kasnoffs how he’d struck oil in Australia and was a “simple innocent businessman.” Mike and Katie questioned Simon’s motives about partnering with Carly. Katie pleaded with Simon to stay away from them. “I don’t want to have to run into you around town and make chitchat,” she admitted, choking up. She un-choked when Mike emerged from requesting a background check on the Aussie, sniping, “Back off, is that clear?”
Jack ushered Luke into the OPD and, naturally, Damian sauntered in to manipulate the situation. Luke explained his sense of being an outsider to Damian, wishing he could go to a galaxy far, far away (Oh, wait, wrong Luke!). Nearby, Jack told Damian to make sure Luke stuck around till Holden arrived for the arraignment. Later, Holden learned that Damian had pushed through Luke’s arraignment without him. Holden snarled at his “Super Dad” routine. “Dad, lay off Damian!” Luke ordered. Holden tried to point out Damian’s schemes to Luke, but it didn’t work. “Don’t even put this on Damian! This is all on you!” Holden admitted he’d made mistakes with Luke. “I want you home,” he whispered. “Come home.” Luke apologized for drinking and driving but he couldn’t quite face all the baggage right now. Damian just barely kept his victory dance in check and suggested Luke, “come back to Malta with me.”
At the Lakeview, Carly’s credit situation warranted contacting Lisa. Lisa informed Carly she’d take a personal check. No dice. Well, did Jack know she was in a bad way? “This is my problem, not Jack’s!” Carly cried … as Jack walked in. Carly wasn’t thrilled that Lisa had called Jack about her “cash-flow problem.” Jack tried forking over the dough, but Carly wasn’t havin’ it. She’d find a way to pay for the champagne. Carly told him, “I appreciate you coming to my rescue, but you don’t have to do it anymore!” She offered to work off her tab by washing dishes, thus boggling the minds of Jack and Lisa. Lisa wasn’t sold on Carly’s idea (apparently her dishwashers are unionized) but Carly refused to take no for an answer. “I won’t offer my help again,” Jack warned Carly, softly, before she went off to the kitchen. Carly thanked Lisa for being an Ethel to her Lucy and helping her finish the dishes. They decided to finish the bubbly, too. But what would Carly do to make ends meet? Naturally, Simon strolled in….
Lia heard footsteps and re-invited Casey into the shower. But, lo, it was a figure clad in black, wielding a knife. Oh, no! In a gory, slo-mo scene that was Psycho meets Fatal Attraction, Lia sank down against the tile ….
