Brad comes up behind her and asks her how she likes it? She says that it is very sweet. She tells him that he needs to stop giving her gifts and she hasn't given him any gifts yet. He tells her that she has given him a gift, she is wearing the new ring that he bought for her to symbolize their new life together. She asks him if she can open her present and he gets it for her. It is a locket. Brad tells her that she can put Parker's picture in it. He starts to kiss her and she pushes him away and tells him to stop it. He looks at her with a surprise look on his face and he asks her what is wrong. She apologizes and says that she isn't much fun to be with tonight. He tells her to be however she needs to be, just let him know. She tells him that he is sweet. She makes up a lie and tells him that she slipped on the wet tile getting out of the new Jacuzzi tub. She cried out, but he didn't hear her. She tells him that it is a back injury that flares up every once in awhile. He asks her where it hurts and she says that it is in her lower back. He starts to rub it for her. She says that she has shooting pains into her legs. He says, "You poor kid." She apologizes for ruining his evening and he says that she is really shaken up. She says, "More than you know." Later, she is lying in her bed and wondering to herself why she didn't say that she had a sprained ankle or something. She picks up the phone and dials it. Brad walk into the room and she hangs up. He has brought her some juice and some pills. She asks him where he got the prescription. He says that when you work construction, pulled muscles are a given. She says that it isn't very smart to take someone else's prescribe medication. He tells her that it will be OK. She takes the pill and drinks some juice. He tells her how much he is enjoying taking care of her. He gives her a kiss on the forehead and says he will be back to check on her. When he leaves, she spit the pill out and says, "Oh, Jack." Brad comes back later to check on her. He asks her if the pill is working and she says that she is relaxed. He tells her to try to go to sleep and he is going to sit by her side until she is asleep. She smiles nervously at him. Finally, she fall asleep and Brad climbs onto the bed and gives her a kiss on the cheek and says that he loves her. He leaves the room and when he is gone, she opens her eyes.

They are wondering who the man in the picture could be. Margo walks back in after a bit and says that this hospital is either run by incompetants or criminals, there is no file on Eleanor Stephens. The doctor says that they didn't say that there wasn't a file, it is just missing right now. Holden says that at least they are consistent, they have lost the patient and the file. The doctor says that this has never happened before. He says that sometimes the patient gets to the hospital before their files arrive or maybe one of the doctors has the file.

He tells her to shut up and asks her what she is doing there and why is she calling him a murderer? He is trying to take care of a patient and she is interrupting. She says that he intentionally killed her relationship with Andy. He says that he is tired of her hysterics and she should go find herself a shrink. She says that she is not leaving until she gets what she came after. Reid says that doesn't have time to service her. She says that she wouldn't have him now, even if he beg her. An orderly walks by and she asks Reid if they could get out of the hallway. He says that he can't go right now, he is with a patient. She says that she wants to see the patient and runs by him and opens the door. He catches up to her but she sees the body inside. He tells her that the patient is resting and her eyes are very sensitive to the light. He pushes her back and closes the door. He tells her that she should go back to her white night, Andy. She says that is why she is there. She wants him to fix her relationship with Andy or she will go to Julia and tell her that every time they are alone, he puts the moves on her. As they are talking, an orderly walks in behind them and opens the door where Rite's body is. Reid runs over to him and explains that this is his patient and she is resting. The orderly leaves and Molly tells Reid that she wants him to go to Andy and tell him that nothing is going on between them. He says that he can't do that, because she doesn't love Andy and she never will. Molly tells him not to pull this on her. She says that he owes it to her to tell Andy that he has a fatal attraction toward her and not the other way around. She says that he intentionally broke her and Andy up. She says that the deal is on the table. Either he goes and fixes things with her and Andy or he loses Julia. Reid says that he will do it if she will just leave. She says that she doesn't believe him, why is he in such a big hurry to get rid of her? He says that why should she care as long as he is doing her dirty work? She says that she is gone and she leaves. After she is out of sight, Reid goes back to Rita's body. He hears someone coming and closes the door.

Eddie's chief concern is whether he harmed Georgia during his episode, but she insists she's fine and determines to stick by him. Jake divines that Alec plans a takeover of The City Times and Worldwide. After Denise walks away, Ben gets on the PA system at the hospital and tells Denise (and the rest of the onlookers) that he's in love with her, too. Chris sneaks Katie onto the Walsh estate and takes her poolside, where he's stashed food and drink. They toast to getting revenge on Eddie and Georgia, and he dares her to go skinny-dipping with him. Eddie worries that he's reverting to his old ways and will lose everything he's worked for.
Carly lies to Brad that she went to the hospital and they prescribed no sex because of her back injury.

Georgia and Eddie come home to the mess that Katie and Chris made. They began cleaning up the place.
At Yo's, Kim and Holden drink a toast to having gotten ride of the station's not-so-silent partner. But Holden tells her it's not over yet-he wants David out of town, out of money, just plain OUT. Brad invites Julia to an adjacent barstool, but his smile turns upside down when she invokes Jack's name. In an effort to get him to accept the idea of faking a paternity test, Carly tells Jack he was the one she wanted to have a baby with all along. Under pressure, Jack admits he does love her. Emily confirms the hotel reservations for her and Tom in New York-one room will be plenty, she tells them. She hurries over when she sees Tom and Eddie fighting over her. Andy listens in with dawning awareness at the AA meeting as Susan tells about her relative who told a lie and faked a crime, then told her to keep quiet about it. Margo barges into the meeting.
Jack tells Carly though he loves her, he loves her in spite of everything she's done and said, and he can't live with the lie she wants them to tell. She is breaking his heart, he tells her, and it's because he knows why she's doing all this. He recalls how growing up she never knew her own mother, and how if they do this, her baby will never know its true father. Carly argues that this child will have money, which she didn't have, and growing up she missed that more than she missed her mother. Jack concludes that the two of them being together isn't enough for her-she'll never be satisfied. She's hedged her bets as usual. When he goes to leave she pegs him as going to find Julia. Julia terms Jack "solid" to Brad. Brad will only allow that Jack is "lucky." Brad volunteers to give her a ride to where the hayride starts, since the barn is in the middle of nowhere. Kim observes them departing.
After Eddie and Tom argue over Emily's supposedly lying to exonerate Eddie, Eddie enlists the aid of Georgia, arranging to have her call for Tom. Tom gets a call alerting him to suspicious fire in Milltown. It's Georgia who's disguising her voice on the other end. Margo tiptoes out of the AA meeting and spying Sam outside, thanks her for being so nice to Eddie. Sam confirms that she did give him a job, but not a place to stay, as he told Margo. Andy sneaks out of the AA meeting and runs smack into sister Margo.
Tom tells Emily about the anonymous tip and they rush out to go get the scoop on the story. Eddie points out Emily to Georgia as being the one who claimed he mugged her. Margo senses that Andy is troubled but he tells her he's not allowed to talk about it. She leaves him the cell phone to call her. After the meeting breaks up, Susan spots Andy alone outside and assumes he missed it. Camille tells Susan that she's going to begin her chemotherapy tomorrow. Ben overhears and strides over, telling her it's too soon.
Carly hurls insults about Julia-sweet, perfect, and virtuous. She tells Jack he's got Julia dangling on a string-that's why it's so easy for him to walk away from Carly now. Jack admits that he didn't tell Julia about Carly, or his true reason for leaving her. When Carly accuses him of being a hypocrite, he walks away, and she crumples on the docks, where John finds her.
Susan supports Camille's decision but worries about her not having talked to a counselor about how this will impact her life. Camille forcefully reminds Ben that it's her body, and she wants to get the chemo over with, so she can start to rebuild her life. Kim tells Holden that David's dad was impossible to get out of Oakdale-she's seen several people around her try to do it and they ended up being better just getting out of his way. And David has proven to be his father's son. Holden tells her that somebody has got to take a stand-Lily is having their child in hiding because of David.
When Jack arrives, Holden tells him that Julia was there a while ago but left. Jack tells his cousin that Carly was right, he should've told Julia what was going on. Carly blasts John for telling Jack about the paternity test and threatens to take him to court for revealing what she said to him. She backs down when he threatens to reveal everything in court, but tells him he will pay. Jack refuses to be appeased by Holden. Kim tells him that she saw Julia leave with a man she now knows is Jack's brother.
Julia asks Brad to tell her why Jack hates his brother, but Brad leaves her alone at the hayride and drives off. John offers to drive Carly home but she declines and leaves with a screech of tires. His voice breaking, Ben tells Camille he wishes he could go through this for her. Camille's doctor tells Ben he's interfering and asks him to leave, which he does angrily.
Eddie notes that when her birth mom Sam is around, it's the only time Georgia clams up. Georgia offers to let Eddie share her cabin but he declines, telling her he doesn't sleep well. Tom and Emily share a drink at Yo's after chasing the false tip and both remember their previous trip there, how at the time Emily was upset about David being with Molly and got in trouble when she threw the drink into the man's face. They toast to knowing what you want-and going after it.
Kim and Holden are mystified by Jack's violent reaction to the idea of Brad taking Julia to the hayride. He wants to leave but Kim tells him in his present condition, he's an accident waiting to happen. Carly mutters to herself about the pleasure she's going to get watching Barbara walk out on John after she tells her ex-employer everything about John's role in Carly's pregnancy. She hears a thud and hits the brakes.
Margo catches up to Eddie by the docks and acknowledges the fact that she's breaking her promise. Eddie gets choked up over her still caring for him and he stares at her face, so close to his own. Tom leaves to celebrate his award with Margo, over Emily's protestations. Their lips meet in a brief goodbye buss and while Tom looks surprised, Emily wears a small smile on her face.
Kim and Holden persuade jack not to leave without calming down and calling around first to see if he can find Julia or Brad. Kim compliments Holden on his skill calming down Jack and he tells her that with all the hotheads in his family, he's had plenty of experience. She urges him to take his own advice concerning David. Jack calls Reverend Dansby to get Brad's address, then spots his brother and slams him up against the fence at Yo's, demanding he tell him where Julia is. Carly finds a body on the road and realizes it's Julia.
