A shocked Carly opened the door to Jack just before the room service guy arrived with the champagne for “Mrs. Frasier,” which certainly made Jack raise an eyebrow. He came right in and nosed about, cop-like, while reporting his sighting of Simon with Spiro. Carly defended Simon and revealed that Lucinda is his investor and — in response to his expression of concern for their kids’ safety — snapped, “This is rich, Mr. ‘My new friend Eve is a serial killer’ is gonna lecture me on the company I keep.” Jack, in turn, had the nerve to imply that Carly introduced Simon to the loan shark, based on her past impulsive problem-fixing schemes, which was just about enough for her. She asked him to leave, noting that he’s just jealous. That’s when Simon arrived, and also denied a connection to Spiro. Jack wasn’t really placated, but left anyway. “Tell me Jack is wrong,” Carly then asked her partner tentatively. Simon lied that he has nothing to do with the thug, and at least had the decency to look guilty when he gave the shaken woman a comforting hug. After all the ruckus with Jack, she confessed that she felt silly. He lightened the mood by wolfishly asked her to explain why she was sneaking into his room; she admitted that she was jealous of the idea of him with another woman. He assured her that he didn’t have sex with that other person and that he’s actually crazy about her. Within seconds, they were seriously making out, accidentally knocking over the briefcase in the process. The money spilled out and Carly flipped out, pummeling him with cash. “I am not so hot for you, Simon, that my brain has turned to mush,” she yelled, calling him a con artist and ordering him to get Spiro out of her life.
Luke insisted on bringing a nervous Jade to the hospital, where the doctor diagnosed a virus. Luke seemed perplexed about the doc’s lack of concern for the baby and questioned him about the medication’s effect on expectant mothers. “But Jade isn’t pregnant,” responded the doctor. Luke confronted Jade about it, angrily refusing to accept her attempts to cover her lies until she tearfully admitted the truth. At the same time, Will listened to a message that Luke had left him earlier, summoning him to the hospital.
Will arrived at Crash in time to spot Gwen attempting to “move on” by hanging out with Elwood and Gil. “Does it ever freak you out how much Elwood looks like Alex?” asked Gil (who’s gotten cuter) in a nice continuing nod to the fact that INTURN winner Alex Charak played both characters. Gil made an effort to not treat late arrival Maddie like a freak, possibly because he (like Elwood) was smitten with the now-available Gwen; both eventually scored a dance with her. It’s unclear whether Gwen saw Will lurking over at the bar while she talked with Maddie about her fun new single life, but he was moping off when another teen taunted him about his scholastic failures, causing Gwen to chase after him. “The only thing that’s important to me right now in my life is you; everything else is a distant second,” admitted her depressed ex before leaving.
A flustered Lucy was on the defensive until Dusty told her to shut up, then apologized. She thanked him for that, then gave him a bit of a hard time when he asked her to dinner before eventually accepting; a displeased Barbara watched them go. They ended up eating in the car outside of Al’s, where Dusty thanked her for her friendship. “Is that all we are Dusty — friends?” she asked. Her answer was a tender kiss, but Dusty admitted that he wasn’t quite ready for a new romance.
Craig and Emily were having dinner at the Lakeview to celebrate their new partnership. They discussed the stem cells from her baby that saved Johnny, which gave Craig an idea: a foundation to promote stem cell research. He tried pitching the “Jennifer Donovan Research Foundation” to Kim and Bob, who had fortuitously just arrived, but they weren’t exactly receptive. “You must be out of your mind if you think Jennifer’s family would allow you to use her name on anything connected to you or your money,” said Kim. Still, Bob reluctantly suggested that he submit the proposal to the hospital board if he’s really determined. It didn’t go unnoticed to Em that a major side benefit for Craig was how much the foundation — especially its name — would annoy Dusty and Paul. Bob and Kim reported instantly to Babs, who vowed to “fight him with [her] last breath.”
