She also doesn't know that Jack is married to Julia, so none of the explanations make sense to her. Carly comes into the house and calls Hal, telling him that Jack and Julia are headed for Nashville. Carly and Rosanna search through a trash bag left behind and find the picture from Parker's bottle. Carly is aware that, if Julia would throw away that message, she is desperate enough to do anything.

Eager to please her, Rick says he's made friends with a janitor, Alfonso, who has done Rick some favors in the past for a fee. Barbara will pay anything for those keys, but when they approach Alfonso, he flat out refuses. Even Barbara's offer of thousands isn't enough to get him to risk his pension or time in jail.

She sneaks off to the arts and crafts room, leaving Rick more enamored than ever. Barbara returns and reports she successfully made the keys and is just waiting for them to harden.
