Gwen told Will she talked to Hal, who offered to let the newlyweds stay home and pay tuition so they can graduate in June. Will looked at her like he didn’t even know her. They have the bickering part of marriage down cold. Will revealed that Uncle Bob got him a janitor job at the hospital (It’s good to be chief of staff!). Gwen mocked him, and suggested using Hal’s generosity to their advantage, and Will flipped out (but not that way). Barbara freaked when Hal confessed to enabling Will and “that little gold digger.” She’s not releasing Will’s trust fund. They agreed the marriage isn’t a good idea, but Hal refused to cut the kids off, because that will compel them to stick together. Hal recalled being a rebellious teen, and concluded Gwen is helping Will “grow up.” Meanwhile, Gwen confessed she didn’t want Will to give up his childhood home because of her, but Will said the house is full of bad memories, and mopping floors and living in a dive sounds like heaven. Even though Hal begrudgingly admitted that Will and Gwen are too young to be married, a huffy Barb gave up and gave in Hal’s plan; she even agreed to release Will’s trust fund after they graduate. Hal was confident the newlyweds would drift apart without a common enemy. After playing My Mom’s a Bigger Nightmare Than Yours to a draw, Gwen fretted that Will was underestimating how hard it is to work and go to school. Will is sure they will have succesful professional careers and adopt lots of kids. Is she with him?
Meg sashayed into jail to visit Paul, who was expecting Emily. Paul insisted Dusty was alive when he left him, and that he had summoned Emily to tell her Meg had sold him out to see if Emily would reveal where Dusty is buried. Meg feared that if Emily smelled a rat she might really kill Paul this time. Meanwhile, Emily met with Henry to get his opinion on Paul’s tale of turncoat Meg, and whether she could trust Paul when he says he loves her. “Should I go back to him?” she asked. Em didn’t care about Paul going to jail, but decided to test his love. Back at jail, Meg suggested Dusty would resurface, dead or alive. Paul spotted Emily arriving and switched their conversation into a trumped-up argument for Emily’s benefit. Meg stormed out, and Paul sweet-talked Emily, who questioned whether what she saw was authentic. And angry Paul tried to throw her out because it’s over for him; he’s going to jail, and he deserves it. He apologized for “being noble,” and for hurting her. Paul said, “I will always love you,” and Emily sobbed. (Who doesn’t get weepy when someone quotes The Bodyguard?) Emily asks hims to prove his love, and Paul offers to do anything. Emily wants to come back to him — provided he proves his love. “I’ll do anything.”
Carly was packing stuff for Jack’s desk, and Parker asked if the “bad lady” hurt her? Carly recalled being roughed up, but covered. Meanwhile, Katie and Nick confronted “bad lady” Chardonnay, who feared for her life because Anatoly had been threatening her. At that moment, a black-clad Mystery Man appeared outside the door. Chardonnay said Anatoly knows Nick is a cop, and had tried to kill Chardonnay before, but was stopped by a Mystery Phone Call. Nick offered Chardonnay immunity in return for the goods on Anatoly. Chardonnay said she needed her inhaler from the other room, but in the kitchen she gulped a glass of wine and sneaked out the back — right into the arms of the Mystery Man. At the station, Carly was stunned and beat a hasty retreat when she learned from Margo that Jack is handling Nick’s case. The “dirty cop” is facing 10-20 years. Nick called Katie his best friend, and then they checked on Chardonnay — who was gone!
In jail, Emily asked: “Wanna marry me, Paul?” Hal returned home to tell the newlyweds the good news, but Gwen told “Lt. Munson” they are refusing his offer. Carly returned home just in time to find Jack with Chardonnay!
