Audrey offed James with a syringe full of drugs and he collapsed on the floor of the interrogation room. Audrey then cued up the waterworks, wailing for Henry. Henry rushed in and tried to rouse Stenbeck, to no avail. No dummy, he then whirled on his mother. Audrey denied that she'd killed James, continuing the distressed mistress act. She took the show on the road to the Lakeview, telling Barbara, and then updating and untying James' lawyer. Barbara followed Audrey and got the maid to let her into the suite. Audrey explained the bindings away as a kinky sex thing and then Barbara realized what Audrey had really been up to: trying to stop James from disinheriting Henry! Meanwhile, Henry freaked out with Vienna and then found the syringe that Audrey had stashed on him. "Your mother killed your father!" gasped Vienna. She told Henry to stay put while she took care of things. Vienna confronted Audrey, who said she's finger Henry if Vienna turned her in. But if V could convince Henry to fork over his newfound money to her, Audrey would never darken their door again! Later, Barbara told Audrey she was on to her and that the autopsy she'd ordered would "speak for itself." Vienna told Henry of Audrey's demands and he realized he'd have to accept James' fortune.

Paul and Emily made sweet, sweet love. Then, Paul wondered why Em wouldn't marry him and told her he loves her. She said she'd always loved him but listed off all the reasons they shouldn't get hitched. They then went for another round o' mattress tag. When they heard Barbara calling Paul's name, they started getting dressed. Barbara burst in on them anyway and told them James was dead and Audrey may have arranged to abscond with Paul's fortune. Paul didn't really care but offered to go the hospital and check things out. He and Em caught up with Henry and then Paul went to chat up James' body. "All I hear now is silence...beautiful silence," Paul sighed. "So thanks, Pops!" He then emerged and turned down Henry's offer of a hug. But he did say he hopes Henry gets all the cash! Henry then took a moment with James.

Craig told Rosanna he hadn't enjoyed lying to her about Liberty and Teri and she apologized for putting him in an impossible position. When Rosanna wondered how this all would impact Parker, Craig told her he wasn't the father. That flummoxed Ro even further: She'd assumed Craig had only done this for Parker! At the clinic, Liberty got set to have her abortion and Janet burst in. A steely Janet kicked out the clinic staff to talk to Lib alone. "I can't have a baby," wept Liberty, begging to "take care of this right now." Janet told her they didn't have to make this decision now; they'd go home and talk to Jack and Parker. Liberty told her it wasn't Parker's baby and that she couldn't go on like this! Janet begged to take her home and they hugged. Later, in Oakdale, Janet assured Liberty she still loves her and sent her upstairs. Alone with Teri, Janet unleashed her rage and they got into the abortion debate as well. "We're Catholics, Theresa," she reminded. "Abortion is a sin!" Teri didn't want to have a political debate and said it was Liberty's choice. Janet pointed out that she'd been in Libby's position at 17 and surmised that Teri thought she was a loser for keeping her child. They went a few rounds and Janet told Teri she could "get the hell out." Parker then caught up with Lib, who finally admitted she's pregnant. At Carly's, Craig asked Ro about rehiring Teri and she said he could keep Teri on at Metro. Their dynamic was clearly new and uneasy, as Ro said she wouldn't tell Carly what had happened. Back at the farm, Janet wasn't sure she and Teri could get past this. Liberty told Parker she'd gone to have an abortion and confessed her confusion. Parker pulled her into a hug.
