Holden was upset when he heard Meg's plan, and Paul tried to convince Meg that they didn't need to go that route anymore. Cleo dressed up like Gwen and spoke to Elwood, who believed it was Gwen.

At the inn where Henry and Vienna were supposed to have their romantic encounter, Brad and Katie woke up in bed together, but Brad reassured Katie that nothing happened between them.

When Brad and Katie traveled to the town of the WOAK contest winner, Kim received a call from a woman in that town who threatened to kill Brad if she saw him. Disturbed, Kim sent Jack to warn Brad and Katie. Jade tried to get Cleo to leave town, but Cleo went behind her back and impersonated Gwen again. This time, Cleo met Barbara, who had a heart-to-heart talk with her, thinking she was Gwen. Later, Cleo pretended to be Gwen when she encountered Will, but Will knew she wasn't Gwen and threatened to turn her over to the police. Cleo convinced him not to do so and promised to leave town. Will told Gwen about Cleo, but despite that, Gwen was caught unaware when Cleo showed up and declared herself to be Gwen's biggest fan. Unsettled, Gwen tried to call the police, but Cleo fainted, and Gwen offered her juice and gently interrogated her, hoping to find out if she was connected somehow to Jade. Cleo insisted she didn't know Jade, and they continued talking, even hugging as Will came home and saw them together. Will told Gwen about Cleo impersonating her, and they both told Cleo she needed to leave town. Jade found out what Cleo had done and destroyed the evidence of her plot. Jade later ordered Cleo to leave town immediately, but Cleo had other plans. Casey pleaded with Maddie to accept the offer she received to attend college at Wesleyan, but Maddie wanted to be in Oakdale when Casey got out of prison in six months.

Henry overheard the conversation and thanked Vienna for being so good to his little sister. Maddie went back to see Casey right before he left for prison, and they said their goodbyes. Lucinda offered Alison $100 to meet with her and Paul about a job they wanted her to do. Needing money for drugs, Ali agreed. Dusty became suspicious of Alison's behavior and wondered if she was using drugs again, but Emily didn't think Alison could afford it. Paul tried to talk Meg out of her role in their plan to destroy Craig, but she said she'd done too much groundwork to give up. Paul told her that he had a plan to have Alison make sound-alike calls to Craig, pretending to be Rosanna, to spook Craig into confessing that he tried to kill Rosanna. Lucinda made a phone call to the Swiss clinic where the comatose Rosanna was being cared for. Alison made her first call to Craig, who was so spooked that he canceled his plans with Meg. Craig called the clinic in Switzerland, but the doctor told him Rosanna had disappeared. Craig hired an investigator to track down Rosanna. When Craig arrived at a Montgomery Enterprises board meeting, he received another phone call from Alison, who, pretending to be Rosanna, said, "I know you tried to kill me, Craig!"

May 7 to 11, 2007
Alison demanded more cash for helping in the scheme against Craig, and Lucinda gave it to her. Alison used it to buy drugs. When Alison made the next call to Craig pretending to be Rosanna, she began to laugh and messed up the call. Craig became suspicious of not only the phone call, but also of Meg, who was near him with a wiretap. Paul had warned Meg, and she stashed her wire when Craig left the room. Meg stripped down and told Craig to search her clothes. In the end, he found nothing, and told Meg that she was the only person he could trust. Cleo tried to get a job at the Lakeview, but Will and Gwen told Lisa she could not be trusted. Jade told Cleo to leave town. As Cleo was leaving the Wagon Wheel, she spotted Carly.

Carly felt horrible for what she had done to her kids, particularly Parker, when she left Oakdale. Lyn aimed a gun at Brad and Katie. Jack stopped her from hurting them. Jack continued to think that Brad and Katie were together. Katie realized this. Both Katie and Jack argued with Brad about getting in between their romance. Later, while Katie talked to Jack about whether they were friends or a couple, Jack kissed her. The next day, Jack and Katie went on their first date, only to be interrupted by a phone call from Sage, who was upset because she missed Carly. Jack and Katie kissed back at the farm while Parker looked on.
May 14 to 18, 2007
Dusty and Emily discovered Alison in a hotel room after Alison had overdosed on drugs. To distract Susan from seeing Alison, Dusty and Emily kissed. The pair attempted to detox Alison, but she escaped from the hotel room. Dusty and Emily found Alison on the window ledge, but once safely inside, Alison claimed that it had been a prank. Gwen figured out that Cleo had somehow taken Jack's kids for an outing. Gwen involved the police and learned that Cleo had been impersonating her around town.

They put the past with Jade behind them and decided to attend the prom together. Paul tried to get Meg to let go of her vendetta against Craig, but Paul realized that she was just like he was.
May 21 to 25, 2007
Jack had a hunch that Simon and Carly might be behind the mysterious return of Vienna's necklace. He then discovered Carly in his house and hauled her down to the police station. The prince dropped the theft charges against Simon and Carly, but Jack claimed Carly faced other charges. Katie tried to not let Carly's return threaten her, and for his kids' sakes, Jack told Carly that if she said Simon had coerced her, she might beat her charges. Carly feared that Simon would face worse charges, but at Jack's disappointment in her, she readily agreed to say what he thought was best. Before Vienna could leave town, Henry admitted his feelings to her, and the couple reunited. When Susan wrongly assumed that Emily and Dusty were dating, the pair acted out a fake breakup over dinner with Susan. Alone with him later, Emily claimed Dusty wouldn't date an ex-hooker. Lance arrived in town to woo Alison back, but she told him to get lost. Lily drummed up a plan for a new company, but Lucinda opted to destroy Craig. Lucinda convinced Meg to break her promise to Paul by visiting Craig; however, at a meeting with Craig, Meg rejected his affections. Meg then reneged on her partnership with Lucinda. Paul proposed to Meg, and Lucinda stole drugs from the hospital. Meg found Craig collapsed on the floor and realized that Lucinda had done something to him. Meg called paramedics for Craig and then confronted Lucinda, who denied any wrongdoing.
May 28 to June 1, 2007
Craig suspected Lucinda of poisoning him, but Meg begged him to drop the matter. Craig agreed to do so -- if Meg would marry him. Meg refused, so Craig offered to return Worldwide, as well. When Meg relayed Craig's proposal to Lucinda, Lucinda pressured Meg to use Craig to get the company back. The police dropped the charges against Carly, and Jack let her know that he was seeing another woman. Carly learned from Brad that Jack was with Katie. Jack allowed Carly to babysit the kids overnight while he spent the night with Katie. JJ and Sage were delighted with their mother's return, but Parker cut out on Carly, because he couldn't stand her presence. Carly interrupted Jack's date so they could search for Parker. Though Carly became upset to learn that, in her absence, many things had changed with her kids, she asserted that she wasn't about to let Katie play mommy to them. Will and Gwen reluctantly helped Cleo, who'd been mugged before she could leave town. They gave her a place to stay and got her a job, and Cleo began to fantasize about Will. Once Dusty learned that Lance was trying to blackmail Alison to leave town, Dusty coerced Lance to return to Las Vegas. Susan was still upset about Dusty "dumping" Emily, and Alison told him that he was good for Emily. Luke and Maddie met Noah, the new intern at WOAK.

JUNE 2007
June 4 to 8, 2007
Meg's family was in turmoil over her and Lucinda's marriage scam to win back Worldwide. Paul tried to put a stop to Craig's grandiose marriage proposal to Meg, but she convinced Paul to let her go through with it. Brad put the moves on Carly, to no avail, and later that night, he walked in on Jack and Katie making love at the studio. Brad filed an anonymous complaint with Kim, but Katie figured out that he'd done it. Brad and Jack bickered over Carly, and Brad accused Jack of still having feelings for her. Lily and Carly caught up with each other, and with some determination, Lily got Carly to agree to accept backing for Carly's new design business. Jack grew intolerant of Parker's belligerence and threatened to send Parker to a place that would straighten him out. Lance missed his flight out of Oakdale and had a chance run-in with Cheri, who put him up to exposing Emily as a prostitute. Lance revealed it to Alison, who then told the news to Susan and took off with Lance to Las Vegas. Susan pressed Emily for answers and learned that not only had Emily been a prostitute, but Alison had been in the adult film business. Cleo not only became obsessed with Will, but also with Gwen's CD recording. Though Will and Gwen instructed Cleo not to listen to the CD anymore, Cleo hatched a plan to get Gwen's music career back on track.
June 11 to 15, 2007
Cleo enlisted Barbara's help in convincing Gwen to re-make her CD for charity. Cleo hoped that Gwen's singing career would take Gwen away from Oakdale, so that Cleo could have Will. Jade set Cleo up to appear to have stolen Gwen's earrings, and Cleo plotted revenge against Jade. Dusty burst into a Las Vegas hotel room to save Alison from Lance. As Dusty consoled a shaken Alison, the two had sex. Alison felt guilty about it; however, Dusty said it wasn't a big deal - or anyone else's business, either. Carly and Jack raced to Tom's office for legal help, but Tom refused to represent either of them in a custody battle. Upset about Parker's treatment of Carly, JJ set Parker up to get caught with a BB gun. Faith tripped over the gun, and it fired on her. Despite Parker's denials, Jack was sure Parker had left the gun out, and Jack forged ahead with plans to send Parker to a juvenile camp. Faith admitted to her mother that she had a crush on Parker, but his preference for the skinner Morgan had sent Faith on a candy bar binge. JJ confessed to Faith that he'd planted the BB gun that she'd tripped over. Craig obtained a Lakeview passkey and tried to enter Paul's room looking for Meg. As Paul pushed back on his door, Meg hid out on the window ledge. Craig left, but later propositioned Meg for sex. Meg asserted there would be no sex before marriage, and so Craig moved up the wedding date to the next day.
June 18 to 22, 2007
Jack prepared to ship Parker off to camp, and JJ confessed to Carly that he'd been behind the BB gun incident. Parker, however, had run away before his parents could correct the matter with him. With Faith's help, Jack and Carly tracked Parker down at a Chicago museum and persuaded him to return home. Carly and Parker spent a night bonding at their old house, and as Jack and Carly worked out their kids' issues, Katie felt insecure about her relationship with Jack. Meg got the Worldwide ownership papers from Craig and went through with the wedding. Paul tried to stop it, but Lucinda held him at bay. Afterwards, Paul tried to get Meg to abandon the plan and run away with him. Craig spied on them and decided there'd be a change in plan. Craig and Meg disappeared, and Paul and Lucinda discovered that Craig had absconded with Meg to Vancouver. Meg was upset that Craig had taken her there and that they'd missed their reception. Craig showed her the cliffs outside their balcony and ominously said they were like life, in that one misstep could cause a terrible fall. Luke discovered that he had feelings for Noah. Thinking he'd fallen for the wrong guy again, Luke turned to writing to deal with his emotions.
June 25 to 29, 2007
Jack and Carly grew closer while spending family time together. After arguing with Craig, Paul fell off a cliff. When Lucinda accused Craig of intentionally pushing him off the cliff, Meg came to her husband's defense. Later she admitted to Craig that their marriage was just a farce to help Lucinda get her company back. Even though he was upset by her betrayal, Craig promised to continue funding the search for Paul until he was found. An angry Jade called Cleo out in front of Will and attempted to expose all of her diary's secrets. However Will didn't believe a word Jade said and instead got a restraining order against her.
