Brook Lynn and Diego made awkwardly polite conversation about a shindig at the Pizza Shack until a bouncy Maxie interrupted and Brook stalked off. Diego was set to be Maxie’s hot date but groaned, “Oh, Supercop,” as Jesse arrived and warned about something “going down” at the oh-so shady PC hotspot. Already there, Georgie angsted about Dillon going to college in town, five seconds from her (instead of to the film school of his dreams), while Bobbie escorted Lucas in from his stay on Wisteria Lane. Lucas caught up with his old crew as Maxie pitted Diego and Jesse against each other. When Diego earned a hobbit elbow in the gut, Maxie spat “It’s about time you decided to fight for me,” at the Diminutive Detective. Diego was ticked at being suckered and went home to throw a tantrum where an equally miffed Lorenzo could offer no fatherly advice. Brook also wandered off on her own — thinking Lucas was a Maxie fan, too. Maxie blew off a protective Jesse’s warnings and danced with Dillon — who’d learned that Lucas would be his freshman roommate. Someone slipped something into Maxie’s glass. She chugged it and, naturally, started acting weird (okay, weird-ER). Dillon caught her as she fell from her go-go spot atop a picnic table. Detective Obvious revealed somebody was drugging girls’ drinks. Oh, no! Brook, still drinking hers, wandered on to the Elm Street Pier as footsteps approached.
In the Wine Cellar of Doom, Miss Alicia “I prefer Ali” Montenegro caught Jason up on her prescription pill of a mother’s plan while, upstairs, Sam tap danced around an amorous and amused Andrew and Madame Sudafed. “Love you, Ali.” Don’t love you, Andrew.” Allegra revealed Andrew fell in unrequited love with Ali after seeing her stark naked in the Fountain of Innocents clutching champagne. Uh-oh. This wasn’t going to be easy. Ali hid herself as Benadryl paid Jason a visit and suggested he get Sam to cooperate while Andrew tried to get Sam to dance with him. No dice. “My Ali can tango on crutches. Something is different about you.” He nipped out some French doors as Jason was brought up. Jason and Sam caught each other up on their not so twinkle-toed situation, tried to escape, and failed. Andrew popped back up in the grand room, wanting a chance to make Ali love him as much as he loved her. A weary Sam agreed and Andrew flipped on some music to make love to…gasp. Below, Alicia snagged Jason’s cuff-fiddling metal and refused to give it back unless he helped get her to her true love in Greece. They were going to have to work together…
At Greystone, Reese assured Sonny she was the very-much alive Charlotte Roberts. At her place, Carly had the same revelation. Morgan awarded her with his lollipop. Lorenzo interrupted her talking to herself and she assured she was acting out a fairy tale and fled on an errand. Riiight. “What do you think, Morgan? Should I believe your mom or is she spinning another fairy tale?” Meanwhile, Reese explained her and Caroline’s friendship and how her life began sucking after the car accident: reconstructive surgeries, her mother faking Charlotte’s death to get back at her dad, her dad killing himself, her own failed marriage and dead child, etc. But her hate for what Caroline had put her through didn’t matter when the kidnapping file came across her desk. “All that mattered was you.” But Sonny was still puzzling over some things, like “How does a fight between teenagers have the power to destroy a family?” Before Reese could say what Carly had done, Carly stormed in. Her “Ah-ha! It’s YOU!” moment was ruined by the fact that Reese had “ah-ha”-ed herself already. Reese remembered their horrible argument like it was yesterday — about “how I walked into the room when you and my father were in bed.” A shaken Carly said Reese’s father seduced an impressionable young girl. “You are not innocent, Caroline.” And Sonny defended Reese. “Whatever anger she had for you, she didn’t act on it.” “Like Hell, she didn’t. She took you!” Sonny maintained he and Carly had been over when Reese hit the scene. Yeah, because Carly lied to him. Reese’s pants were on FIRE. Sonny was unconcerned. Reese’s secret hadn’t been about him. As Carly swallowed that bitter pill, Sonny kicked her out. “Once a liar, always a liar,” Carly whispered before she left. “Charlotte, I wish you’d stayed dead.” Reese thanked Sonny but he was distant, warning that he wasn’t going to go down this road again. Carly arrived home, announcing to Lorenzo that she was right about Reese. Lorenzo threw a cushion at a lamp and snarled, “I want you gone.”
