Gwen and Casey whispered VERY, VERY, VERY QUIETLY about Will and Jade. When she revealed she can't have kids Casey got weepy. Gwen said she cannot get past the fact that she wants children but cannot conceive, while Jade is pregnant with a kid she doesn't care about. She hugged him and said she'd give anything to have another baby. Meanwhile, Luke and Jade discussed the cold weather, and Luke suggested "first love" is too powerful for Will and Gwen to resist. Jade told Luke that Gwen can't have kids (and she pretended to feel bad), and she's sure Will will want to be with the mother of his child. Luke wasn't so sure. He also fretted going back to school, where they will be known as "the gay kid and the whore." Casey swore allegiance to Gwen, who suggested they register for class. Casey left to change his shirt, and Jade appeared. Gwen said she bore no ill will toward the baby, and Jade helpfully rubbed her belly as she insisted she'd never leave Will, no matter what. Gwen's marriage failed because she split. Gwen fled and Jade gave Casey the package she was carrying for him. Casey fired her from Crash (despite her pleas that she's pregnant!). She pointed out this is the second time he threw a pregnant woman out in the cold. Luke tried to buck up Will. Luke had to visit the hospital, and urged Will not to take out his anger on Jade. Jade then appeared, looking for a job — and a place to live, so she sobbed on Will's shoulder. Gwen told Casey she wanted to bunk at Crash because she couldn't afford the dorms, but when she saw Will and Jade she told them she's moving into the dorms with Casey, angering Will. Jade asked to go home with him.

Jack lit candles as he waited at Carly's with beer, pizza and roses. But Simon walked in! "What are you doing here?" Jack demanded. Simon suggested Carly might not be happy to see him, but Jack defended his turf. Meanwhile, Carly found the Five of Cups tarot card and recalled the fortune teller foretelling good things, and she thought of Simon. Jack suggested Simon just wants to get in Carly's pants, but Simon blasted Jack for giving Carly the false hope of reconciliation. When Jack left, Simon grabbed the pizza and beer. Meanwhile, Carly picked up the Five of Cups card just as Jack walked in and confessed, "I have been a Class A jerk," begged forgiveness and asked her to marry him. She kissed him — only to realize she was really kissing Simon! But wait — it was all a dream. She awoke on the couch and tore up the tarot card just as the real Simon returned. She seemed touched by the gesture of pizza and beer. He thanked her for helping so much and reminded her of the "special bonus" she promised.

Lucy primped for her dinner with Dusty, who showed up with Johnny. She suggested they see a matinee. Dusty went upstairs for a moment, and the manager asked Lucy to take part in the evening's karaoke. She was laboring through a song when Dusty sauntered in — and flashed back to Jennifer singing. Fraught, he fled. Lucy fretted that she was so bad she drove him away. He told her he had to go, but refused to explain why, instead fibbing about Johnny. When Lucy offered to examine him Dusty snapped at her. He apologized, but Lucy worried that he doesn't trust her with the child. He said he just wants time alone with Johnny.

Meanwhile, Jack drank beer alone. With Simon's words echoing in his head, he felt a chill in the air.

Mike and Katie met with the fertility doctor, but a mortified Mike wasn't expecting to provide a sample. Katie suggested he think of it as "fixing a motorcycle." He said impregnating Carly proved his "motorcycle" works, but Katie snapped that that happened "when you were young." Despite that withering blow she insisted she wasn't questioning his manhood. He called her "controlling," and said he wants a baby, "but not like this."

Emily demanded to see Tom, but he wasn't home. He was visiting Meg, who asked him to keep Emily from fleeing town with Paul's baby. The skeptical DA demanded to know what caused Emily's meltdown — did Paul lie about how close he and Meg really are? Tom balked at blocking Emily because he was sure she would put the children's welfare first, unlike Paul. Tom came home to find Emily playing with Daniel. He told her what went down with Meg. An elated Emily promised to call as soon as she and Danny are settled someplace new. But Tom insisted Daniel can't go. A flustered Emily fled and called Henry. She demanded he help her get Daniel and leave town. Tonight.

Jack flashed back to Carly and the divorce papers while chopping wood. Meanwhile, Gwen admitted to Carly that Will isn't lying about not loving Jade — but Jade is having his baby and Gwen can't do that. She spotted the divorce decree, but Carly noted their situations are different: She and Jack are over. Carly counseled her to go to school and reassess Will later. Will appeared at the door at that moment, chasing Gwen. Will sought Carly's help, but she insisted Gwen cannot be talked into taking him back; the decision has to come from Gwen. Will mumbled "whatever" and left. Simon called Carly to meet him for work. Meanwhile, Meg interrupted Jack, who told her about the divorce, which he called "the worst mistake I ever made." He regretted ending things, but couldn't see how things could ever change. Meg suggested simply starting over. Jack agreed. At the Lakeview, Simon met with a surly Carly, who wasn't interested in his flirting. She realized she forgot the paint charts, and Simon volunteered to go to her home to retrieve them. Later, Jack appeared at the front door with a giant bouquet of roses.

Will caught up to Gwen talking with Casey. She told Casey about Will and Jade. Will wondered how this was different from Casey knocking up Gwen. She pointed out the obvious: They weren't married then. A disgusted Will said he was giving up trying to get through to her and left. As Casey comforted a weepy Gwen, he said he couldn't understand why she won't get back together with Will.

Jack was making sandwiches for the kids when Carly dropped by to chat about the kids — and present him with the finalized divorce papers. A devastated Jack put up a brave front. JJ and Parker found the divorce papers, and asked if Mommy is going to marry "that Simon guy." Jack told them no, and sent them to bed. Mike and Katie confronted Simon with an overdue bill, and mentioned rumors that the project was falling apart. Simon insisted everything is okay, and mentioned being distracted helping Carly with her divorce. Carly had barely returned home when Simon showed up to tell her about the rumors their project is falling apart. He wanted to bring in new investors with a broker's open house — the day after tomorrow. And he wanted to "get back to" what they started in Santo Domingo. Later, Jack's cell phone rang. It was Carly, telling him she didn't want the divorce. "It's not over, Jack," she said. But it was a dream. His real cell rang, and the real Carly was on the other end, but she only wanted him to keep the kids for a couple of more days so she could work around the clock on Simon's building.

After Simon left, Katie told Mike they need to see a fertility doctor, Dr. Chan, but Mike balked. He wanted to "enjoy" creating their child, not turn it into a science project. Katie produced the key to the honeymoon suite, and he agreed to see the specialist. He brought her flowers and said, "Let's go make a baby."

Joe ran into Holden in the chapel and told him Lily isn't getting any better, so it's time to think about placing her in a long-term care facility. A specialist declared Lily's coma permanent. Holden wanted more specialists, but Joe argued against it. Holden needed time to make a decision. Suddenly, a ghostly image of Lily appeared. He told GhostLily that her the family misses her. GhostLily said, "Tell them Mother is coming home." She reminded him of their promise to love each other, then vanished.

Emily railed at Paul and Meg for lying to her. Then Meg told Emily about the engagement. Emily acted happy, then accused Paul of lying. He blew up and told her he loves their baby, but Meg is the most important woman in the world to him. Emily (ominously) said she understood what she has to do, and vowed that Paul will never see her or the baby ever again. Later, Emily started her trademark blubbering, so Henry tried to calm her. He wondered what women see in Paul. She said Paul makes them believe in his dreams. Meanwhile, Paul feared Emily really would disappear, and extracted a promise from Meg to stick by him, no questions asked. He made plans to hire a hotshot lawyer, and asked Meg to make sure Emily doesn't leave town. Emily, meanwhile, made plans of her own — she was trying to anticipate Paul's every possible move. Henry volunteered that he'd miss her. She said she has one last favor to ask of him before she can disappear forever.

Barbara warned Dusty that Craig might use Lucy to get to Johnny. Dusty denied he's having a relationship with Lucy — just as Lucy appeared. Barbara feared that Lucy will take advantage of Jennifer's memory. Dusty escorted Lucy out, and told her that Jen would approve of their friendship. Then Dusty wondered if Barbara was actually afraid of him forgetting Jen. Downstairs, Lucy ran into Lucinda and admitted she still loves Dusty, but it doesn't matter because he still loves Jen. Lucinda suggested they try being friends. Dusty said he can't forget Jennifer because Johnny has her eyes. Then he went for a walk and Barbara summoned Lucinda. Barbara scolded Lucy's grandmother, but Lucinda noted that life goes on, and even if Dusty breaks Lucy's heart, at least she'll know she's alive. Downstairs, Dusty ran into Lucy, and they agreed they are still friends.

Emily told Henry he needs take his mind off Eve by going on an adventure. Paul is missing, and she needs help breaking into his place to find him. Meanwhile, Paul and Meg were smooching in his room, chortling over faking a trip to fake out Emily. While they were on the balcony, Emily and Henry broke in, dressed as "Barbara" and her "blind cousin." Paul and Meg heard Emily, so Paul hid and Meg surprised the invader. She feigned ignorance about Paul. Emily revealed that she's mulling genetic testing, so Meg better 'fess up about Paul. Meg threatened to call the cops, so Emily left. Meg complained to Paul about having to lie. Emily overheard them bickering and burst in to make threats.

Gwen told Jade she doubts Jaed is pregnant, but Jade offered to take a test. She insisted she doesn't hate Gwen, and likened herself and Will to Gwen and Casey, angering Gwen. Gwen called Will to set up a meeting. At the church, Luke told Will he knows Jade is pregnant. Gwen caught up to Will. He said he doesn't need forgiveness from God, he needs it from her. She said a baby changes everything and bonds couples, just like Billy did. They admitted they love each other, but she said it's not enough, since she can't "give" Will a child. Meanwhile, Jade whined to Luke that Gwen blames her for everything. Luke assured her that Will is all about Gwen, but Jade was hopeful. Gwen told Will she didn't foresee a happy ending for them, so she decided to end things now, and walked out.

Simon and Carly's hips and other various body parts still weren't lying in Santo Domingo. "Amaze me!" Carly cried under his ardent kisses...two seconds before he bolted into the bathroom to hurl. Carly found Simon curled up next to the commode, offered him some bottled water and then got to work undoing his pants. "This not foreplay," she warned. (Could've fooled us!) Simon told Carly that the worst part of divorce is losing the word "too." (i.e. "I love you." "I love you, too.") Thanking him for the heads-up, Carly shoved the Aussie into an icy cold shower. He pulled her in with him. Eeeee! "I told you I'd make you scream!" Later, Carly told a clean but hurtin' Simon, "I was ready for you, Simon. The problem is, you weren't ready for me." And, no, she didn't mean physically! "You want Katie." Simon assured Carly he did indeed want Ms. Tenney and he wanted to pick up tomorrow after he sobered up. Carly much preferred picking it up after their building project was done. Later, Carly left sleeping Simon curled up with a pillow and snuck out of his room.

At the movies, Lucy and Dusty were still flirting over their viewing of the latest Astro Girl flick. Lucy gave Dusty an Astro Girl toy for Johnny. "Come home with me," said Dusty — just so she could give the toy to Johnny herself. The duo showed up at Barbara's and Lucy admitted that she's a little scared of Babs. "Johnny will protect you," Dusty promised. Lucy and her little brother had some quality bonding time...until Lucy mentioned that Craig's "genes are in both of us." But "you're his dad in every way that counts," she assured. "Johnny will never hear anything different from me." Barbara walked in and was less than thrilled by the cozy tableau. "What do you think you're doin'?" Dusty asked his mom-in-law after not-so-subtly excusing Lucy from the room. Babs announced that Lucy was dangerous for both Dusty and Johnny.

The slasher bait memorial service concluded with proper solemnity as, at the Lakeview, Margo asked Maddie to move back into Chez Hughes. Henry thought the move was a great idea, telling Maddie he was a "wuss" and Margo could help her talk about and heal from her rape. Of course, when Henry realized "Casey and his red-blooded hormones" lived there, he immediately backtracked. Back at church, Dallas made his apologies to Mr. Hormones himself. The former foes shook hands before Casey decided to go see Maddie. Margo assured Henry that Casey was going to be living at Oakdale U. Tom and Casey then arrived and Maddie agreed to move in. Of course, that made Casey want to live at home. Maddie cut short the ensuing kerfuffle and told Casey she wanted him to live in the dorm. "I need you to be normal," she said, "because if you are, then maybe I can be normal too." Okay!

At the chapel, Luke handed Liv a tissue sans "gay cooties" and they chatted about Kevin and how lucky they'd been to evade Eve. Nearby, Aunt Kim told Barbara to give Will and Gwen some alone time. Barbara pointed out they weren't alone: Jade had followed Will! Sure enough, as Gwen wondered what Will was trying to tell her, Jade turned up like a bad penny. Kim and Bob discouraged Barbara from micromanaging the kids' marriage as Will shooed Jade away all on his lonesome. Then, Dallas apologized to a shooed Jade and she confided in Luke. Will really wanted to lie to Gwen but couldn't keep the secret. "Jade's pregnant," he spilled, citing a "crazy accident." (Did GH send them some Enduros?) "What do you want me to say?" Gwen wondered. She couldn't forgive him this time! Gwen stalked off, Will ran after her, and Jade wanted to give chase. "They're married, Jade," Luke pointed out. "Will loves Gwen and you being pregnant is not going to change that." Later, Will came back to the chapel looking for Gwen, which bummed out Jade even more. Dallas speculatively asked Jessica about Jade, who noted, "She's trouble." As Will searched high and low, Jade let herself into her hotel room and, lo and behold, there was Gwen!
