Simon is dubious about Katie's claim that Henry has been spying on her and urges her to confess her pregnancy is fake. Hal threatens to tell the Hong Kong authorities of Mei-Lin's arrest unless she signs her statement declaring that Craig murdered Winston but deliberately poisoning him.
Mei-Lin turns the tables on Hal by threatening to tell the commissioner that her statement was coerced by Hal. At Jack's urging, Julia agrees to see Dr. Michaels. Katie finally confirms Simon's assertion that she's been lying but begs him not to leave her. A sarcastic Simon denies Katie's declaration of love and thanks her for ruining his life.

Julia tells Dr. Michaels she's been plagued by nightmares. Simon orders Katie to move out, ignoring her reminder that he'll be deported if they don't stay married. When Dr. Michaels writes Julia a prescription for some sleeping pills, Julia swipes some of the sheets from Dr. Michael's prescription pad.

Alone, a despondent Katie decides she won't leave--Simon needs her now more than ever. Craig explains to Barbara that his business problems prevent him from leaving Oakdale. Henry informs Craig that Hal has asked Carly to dig up dirt on Craig.

At the hospital, Hal refused to let Parker go home with Carly. Cass, Craig's lawyer, reminded Hal that he only had joint custody and that if he didn't cooperate, a petition would be filed in family court that would give Carly temporary custody of Parker. Frustrated and angry, Hal had no choice but to allow his son to leave with Carly and Craig. Before leaving, Hal warned Craig that he would pay for breaking up his marriage and for his son Bryant, almost killing Parker.

Overcome with gratitude, she admitted to him that she knew where his money was and had known it for a very long time.
Dr. Michaels paid Jack a visit at the police station to discuss her concerns about Julia's condition and her strong feeling that Julia needed intense therapy. Jack was worried when the doctor told him she had prescribed sleeping pills for Julia and went home to find her. When he found an empty pill bottle and no Julia, he frantically started searching for her. He was relieved when he found her at Fashions, acting as if nothing had happened. She told him he had nothing to worry about--she had merely flushed the pills down the toilet. She then informed Jack that she was ready to go make a baby and though Jack was still concerned, he left with her to go home.
