Gwen, Adam and the band packed up after recording “Slide.” At Java, Jade informed Will that the session was going to last all night and offered to buy him a cup of coffee. After all, if it weren’t for her, he would’ve graduated months ago. After overhearing a cryptic comment, Gwen asked Adam exactly what had happened back in L.A. Over coffee, Jade sowed seeds of doubt about Rock Star Gwen in Will’s mind. Adam shot down Gwen’s questions about a “thing that fell through,” but they kept bonding and then Adam played her a sample song. Naturally, that’s when Will walked in. Adam watched the giddy Munsons skip out. When they got home, Gwen found the makings of Will’s celebration and belatedly remembered to ask about the GED. They kissed and cuddled and she cheered her hubby for always making her happy. At the studio, Jade walked up on Adam groovin’ to Gwen’s voice.
At the cottage, Mike wasn’t impressed by Katie’s get-up. She contacted Henry via walkie-talkie and asked him to open the door. At the Lakeview, Simon admitted he’d kept one teensy rock from their Vienna heist. “It’s so pretty,” he chanted, waving it front of Carly. “It’s evidence!” she cried, calling him “insane.” He viewed it as a special reminder of their night together. She assured him that she was fond of him, but she didn’t want to go to jail. “Admit it, you’re worried about Detective Jack,” he accused. Henry told Mike he had his best interests at heart, which earned him a “Get lost!” Then, Katie made another pitch for forgiveness. When Mike cited her pattern with Simon, she pointed out, “You’ve slept with half the women in this town.” She even brought up Nick and pleaded with him to remember that “I am more than my mistakes.” Ouch. Carly admitted she wouldn’t feel right wearing the bling in front of Jack. After her speech, Simon offered to throw it away. What?! Back at Chez Kasnoff, Mike sighed, “I remember everything,” (just like Pacey on DAWSON’S CREEK), but that didn’t make a difference. Katie still loved Simon and it just wouldn’t be fair to either of them. He said goodbye and walked out. Elsewhere, Carly snagged back the necklace, cooing over it. And then she cooed over Simon. “How I feel about you…I just want to make you happy,” he sighed. While they toasted with bubbly, Katie arrived to tell Henry their plan hadn’t worked. Of course, she spied snuggly Carly and Simon. She grew enraged, concluding that Simon had never loved her, and was suddenly inspired to add some pages to Oakdale Confidential…pages about revenge.
Meanwhile, Craig paced outside the courtroom as his lawyer pointed out that Lucy’s testimony would send him straight to trial. “I’m not asking you to walk on water. Just keep me out of the penal system,” he told her, certain that Lucy would come around. At Java, Lucy and Dusty talked about her pending testimony. “He’s playing with your mind,” Dusty told Lucy of Craig. “All you gotta do is tell the truth.” Lucy walked into the courtroom where Craig was waxing poetic about his kids to his lawyer — and gloating that last night would change Lucy’s mind. Realizing he’d arranged Dusty’s crash, Lucy interrupted to warn him he could be facing attempted murder charges. “I’m onto you,” she said, concluding that Craig was going to kill Dusty if she testified. “You’re giving me far too much credit,” Craig scoffed, but admitted that “accidents happen.” Dusty happened upon a freaked Lucy, who passed along her fear that he’d be, well, dusted. Unconcerned Dusty told her to stay calm. Later, Lucy was called to the stand. And as the first question was posed, she froze, remembering, “Accidents happen….”
