Simon ran into Katie and invited her to join him when Kim canceled their meeting. They parried over Mike and Carly, so she boasted that she and Mike are starting a family. Simon glumly pretended to be happy, then asked why she was flaunting her vigorous sex life — does she still have feelings for him? She accused him of harboring feelings for her. He copped to it — but he’s not married. He accused her of jumping into a rebound marriage after losing the love of her life. Katie insisted she was happy because Mike is dependable and comes home every night. Simon claimed he’s happy with his new life, too. Mike interrupted, and Simon beat a hasty retreat, leaving Katie somewhat tearful. Mike was furious that she told Simon they’re trying to have a baby, and demanded to know who she’s jealous of — Simon? Carly? Katie admitted she told Simon just to shut him up. She only wants Mike, and he only wants her.
Carly ran into Dallas while looking for Hal (who’s in Washington) to inquire about Gwen. Carly was shocked to hear that Henry’s sister was the culprit, and that Jack arrested her. Jack was drowning his sorrows at a bar when Carly appeared and assured him he couldn’t have known Eve was crazy. He beat himself up for swallowing her story. Didn’t he learn anything from Julia?
They asked each other if they’re seeing someone, and seemed relieved that the answer was negative. But Simon suddenly appeared and told her she needs to “rethink” the fixtures in his building’s lobby right away. As Jack abruptly left, he mentioned that their divorce papers are ready to sign. Simon noticed Carly’s crestfallen expression and prodded her about the divorce. He pointed out that she can get a quickie divorce in Santo Domingo. Meanwhile, Jack discussed his Carly encounter with Holden over beers. Holden asked if he’s sure he wants to end the marriage, and Jack sighed that he’s not sure about anything anymore. Carly agreed to let Simon fly her to Santo Domingo.
With Casey still in surgery at another hospital, Gwen was being kept overnight for observation at Memorial. Will offered to take her home, but she declined. Barbara appeared with flowers, and demanded to know how many dragons her “poor boy” has to slay to win Gwen’s forgiveness? Gwen confessed she can’t help being suspicious of Will and Jade. Barbara sang Will’s praises and departed. Gwen asked Will to go home. Later, she had a nightmare about Eve attacking her, so it was a good thing Will stuck around. He suggested conducting a memorial service for the town, then starting all over. She agreed.
Paul greeted Meg, Holden and Emma, who were suspicious of why he was there with Emily. Alone, Paul apologized to Meg. When Emily offered to reschedule their “business meeting” in favor of their family celebration, Paul hid Meg’s ring finger and lied about what they were celebrating. Back home, Emma warned Holden to stay out of his sister’s life — even though Paul is sure to hurt her. After Emily left, Meg demanded an explanation for hiding their engagement. He said he’s concerned about Emily’s blood pressure. He suggested it’s wiser to keep their plans a secret from Emily because she might still be unbalanced. Once she has the baby and goes back to work, she won’t be an issue in their lives. Meanwhile, Emily told her mother about Paul’s plan for The Intruder, then, alone, told her baby that Paul will eventually realize his place is with them. Meg told Paul she is taking off his ring until the baby is born.
