Michael conferred with D.A. Will and confirmed that he had given Carmen the envelope with information about her fling with her past employer. Michael then headed to the Winters household and spoke to Devon about the envelope. Devon explained Carmen dropped it while in the elevator with him. Michael told the anxious family that he asked Paul to do a background check on Carmen and that’s how the information in the envelope turned up. When Michael continued to question Devon about his last encounter with Carmen, he said he went to her apartment in an attempt to return the envelope. When she didn’t answer the door, he went to the park. Unfortunately, no one saw him, thus, he has no alibi. Drucilla tried to get Michael to stop badgering her son but Michael explained that Devon withheld evidence from the police. She then flipped out when he said the police think she made plans to meet with Carmen the night of Ms. Mesta’s murder. Michael became even more nervous when Lily and Daniel explained also had no alibi the night of the murder. Neil and Dru then told Michael they wondered why the police had taken duct tape and trash bags while searching the apartments. When alone, Dru suggested to Neil they fix things for Devon, “tweak out alibis.”
The kids retreated to Crimson Lights and Devon regretted not turning the envelope in to the police. Lily decided she would give Devon an alibi. She would say she saw him at the park. Devon and Daniel looked surprised at her pronouncement. Daniel tried to talk her out of it. “Lying is only going to mess it up more,” Daniel said. Devon agreed. Trying to end the boy’s skepticism, Lily claimed to really be at the park. “I saw you,” she stated.
Lauren was exhausted but managed to convince Gloria it was okay for her to return to work. Gloria charged into Jill’s office and heard that Mr. Kim put a halt on her perfume line. When Gloria argued that John had approved the line Jill had to remind her that Jabot is longer a family company. After Jill made dinner plans with the very-in-demand Mr. William Bardwell, Gloria called up the D.A. to talk about her bad day. “Why did John have to die?” She cried. Will showed up and Gloria wept to Will about her situation and expressed anger over John’s death. Will comforted Gloria, remembering a time he had been angry when his wife died also. “Death always seems unfair,” he added. Gloria and Will hugged at the very moment that Jill walked in.
Lauren finally got Fenn to sleep, but he woke up again. Fortunately, Michael came home just in time to give his wife the big hug she so desperately needed. Feeling stressed and emotional she sobbed about Carmen’s recent murder. “She was somebody’s baby once too.” Kevin came over and played with Fenn while Lauren took a much needed nap and Michael went back to work.
Kevin and Jana agreed to live together and began their search for the perfect apartment. Gloria was none too pleased to hear of her son’s new living arrangement. Meanwhile, Adrian found Colleen at Crimson Lights and joked about the class she had missed. She told him she decided to drop his class because of the kiss the two shared just days earlier. Adrian tried to convince her to change her mind but she insisted her mind was made up. Later, Colleen was very surprised to find Adrian in Brad and Victoria’s office researching the Newman art collection. Brad worried Adrian had a different agenda. Adrian again tried to convince Colleen dropping his class would be a mistake and would leave him in a bind without an assistant. They joked and Colleen seemed to be softening up. She later called the professor with good news. “I’ll see you in class,” she said with a smile.
Will and Det. Sullivan came to question Brad. They told him about the security tape, and asked why he was lurking outside Carmen’s suite the night of her murder. Brad explained that he had to discuss a project with her. Will was certain Brad was hiding something. Then it was Victoria’s turn on the hot seat. Victoria assured the two that Brad’s visit to Carmen’s suite was for a business matter. Victoria explained her decision to put Dru on a leave of absence instead of firing her. She personally didn’t think Carmen was in any danger from Dru, but Carmen obviously thought otherwise. When alone, Brad and Victoria worried that some of Brad’s past (the two murders, specifically) might come out. Victoria asked her husband what he thought about ending Dru’s leave of absence. He was all for it. Victoria then promised Brad that she’d never tell anyone about his past. “We’re in this together,” she assured him.
The episode ended with Brad, Victoria, Devon, Daniel, Lily, Dru and Neil all opening their subpoenas to appear before the grand jury.
