Sam & Nora's Home/Office
As Nora is finishing a phone call to Matthew's pediatrician, Sam comes in and asks where she had been "out so late last night." Nora tells him she spent some time with Hank before driving around town to calm down and think "rationally." Nora apologizes for "walking out" on Sam and Sam apologizes for upsetting Nora but he "had to tell you what was on my mind." Nora acknowledges that "you always do." She tells Sam that she has her priorities straight now ("...us, this family; you and Matthew...everything else is a distant second") but she wants to know "are we OK?" Sam answers, "...You tell me...where do you stand?...I need to know if you're willing to let all this go?" After taking a deep breath, Nora answers, "...Yes, I think I can." She admits that Bo told her to "mind (her) own business" and Hank advised her to "let it go" so "...between the three of you, I got the message." Still conflicted, and foreshadowing the future, Nora admits, "I have a real hard time with secrets. You should know that. I have a really hard time with people who keep secrets, especially those that can hurt people." Sam "admires" that Nora has "always insisted on honesty" while Nora opines that Sam is "as honest as they come." Sam says "Amen" to Nora's "great idea" that "...You and Matthew and our family is all that matters...let the rest of the world take care of themselves."
Later, Hank comes by at Sam's request so that he and Nora can give him copies of five motions they intend to file on Will's behalf trying to get his case dismissed, suppress admissions and/or physical evidence, etc. They are surprised when Hank informs them he has turned the case over to a "new ADA" because he feels "uncomfortably close" to the principals. Hank warns them that the new kid has 18 jury trials under his belt and "hasn't lost a one...plus he just finished teaching a course on trial advocacy for the Justice Department." Sam is duly impressed but believes "the bigger they are, the harder they fall." When the doorbell rings, Hank invites Jared Hall in to "meet the enemy" but is shocked when Sam and Jared embrace. It seems that (in true soap opera tradition) Jared had worked as a "go-fer" in Sam's Chicago law office many years ago but didn't think Sam would remember him so hadn't thought it necessary to inform Hank of his connection to defense counsel. Jared, smooth operator that he is, "...can't wait to take Sam on...I'll get to use what Sam taught me...from the other side of the table." Before excusing herself to take Matthew to his doctor's appointment, Nora warns Sam that "I think we've got our work cut out for us." Sam agrees but advises Jared that "things may not appear as they seem in this case..." Having acknowledged the reputations of Sam and Nora, Jared still warns Sam that "Will confessed to taking over $35,000...something the two of you might have a hard time overcoming."
Llanview PD
Lindsay smiles at the "Wanted Poster" hanging outside Bo's office door: ["Wanted for Love and Marriage...Armed and Dangerous...Call Lindsay Rappaport...Apprehended"] Entering the office, Lindsay is disappointed to learn that Will's case is "status quo" but is happy to stay and open wedding presents from Bo's "rank and file" employees. There is a silver picture frame for a "picture perfect future" and silver candlesticks from John Sykes to "light each other's way always" and a "monster" crystal vase from - Asa! Bo is upset that Asa is so "transparent" in trying to get him "back in the fold." As he vows that what Asa did to Will was "unforgivable," Jessica arrives. She wants to "understand why (Will) doesn't just admit to what he's done" instead of blaming Asa for cutting off Cristian's tuition. Bo tells her, "I'm convinced what Will is saying is the truth." Lindsay agrees, "it's not in Will to steal money." Jessica then asks her if it's in Will to lie because "people in love aren't supposed to lie to each other" and a guilty Lindsay doesn't answer. Bo tries to convince Jessica that Will took the $35,000 but not the rest of the money; he believes that Asa "overplayed his hand" and "got carried away" by taking the rest of the money and putting it in Cayman Island accounts that "Will wouldn't know how to open up." Jess is confused because "Grandpa liked Will...Grandpa loves me...he wouldn't do this to me..." Bo asks Jessica to "keep an open mind until I've investigated" and she agrees to do this and "think about what you said."
Later, Lindsay offers to return Asa's "very expensive...one of a kind" vase but decides to drop it first and break it into pieces. An amused Bo offers this opinion of Lindsay's actions: "...We're gonna have a lot of fun being married...one surprise after another..." Lindsay reminds him of the "big surprise" for their wedding night but won't offer any "clues" before she heads out for her appointment at the hospital.
Much later, Sam comes by the station and introduces Jared Hall to Bo. Background is exchanged all around: Bo acknowledges that Jared is the grandson of Ed and Carla Hall and wants Jared to know that his grandfather is "revered in this town"; Sam shares with Jared that Bo is marrying his "ex-wife" Lindsay and that Nora had been married to Bo. Jared is surprised by this quadrangle but Bo explains it as "just one big happy family."
Art School - NYC
As Will is explaining to Dean Reynolds that he wants to find out what happened to his "friend" Cristian Vega's scholarship, Cris shows up wondering the same thing but accuses Will of being there to "pay his next installment" of tuition. Will assumes that Cristian has come to the "same conclusion" about why his scholarship suddenly "dried up" - Asa. But Cristian asserts he is only "here to prove you're a liar...I'm gonna find the truth about all this, then I'm gonna ram it down your throat." While a nervous Dean Reynolds goes out to "find the files," Cristian and Will continue to insult each other. Cristian accuses Will of being a "thief and a liar" but Will reminds Cristian of his history with Roseanne and wants to know who is the bigger liar since Cris married Roseanne while he was still in love with Jessica. When Will asserts that he simply "borrowed" the money from the Foundation, Cristian wonders who he should return it to: "the cops, Asa, or you?" They then argue about who will pay it back and how. Will hopes Cris gets his scholarship back, but Cristian vows he is "through with this place" and won't stay in New York because he still has "a little pride left." This starts another round of insults between the two young men culminating with Cristian's opinion that if, indeed, Asa was responsible for his scholarship being taken away, then doesn't that "prove you're not only a thief, but a fool?"
Later, after being threatened by Asa, Dean Reynolds lies and tells Cristian and Will that the school's main source of funding dried up, one of the endowments is tied up in litigation and a "very painful decision" had to be made to cut the most recent scholarships which included Cristian's. Cristian feels vindicated by this explanation and gloats to Will, "So much for your theory." Will, instead, thinks it is "all clear now...this isn't over, not by a long shot." However, before Will can leave, two police officers enter the office and arrest Will on a "fugitive warrant."
Asa's Mansion
Asa informs Renee that it's time to "get away for awhile" and wants to "fly to the ranch tonight." Renee's explanation for this sudden request is Asa wanting to "get away from the guilt about Will" but she won't be going because she is "going to Bo's wedding -tomorrow." Asa explodes at Renee, "You're going to that funeral over my dead body...if I'm not welcome there, you're not going either." Renee warns him that "the fact you can't go is your own doing...you've gone too far..." in going after Sam, Ben, Grace, and now Will. Asa considers what he has done as justified because he says she has just named "a philanderer, a butcher, a whore and an embezzler" and wants to know what she's "going to do about it?" Renee simply informs him she is "going shopping...I might take your private jet to New York to buy something pretty for your son's wedding." Asa responds angrily that she can "fly all the way to Katmandu for all I give a damn."
Later, Dean Reynolds from Cristian's art school calls to advise Asa that Will and Cristian are in his office "at each other's throats" and Asa orders him to "stall them" because "Will is living on borrowed time...he's violating the terms of bail..." He tells the dean to "use his imagination" to "keep Vega quiet for good" or else he should "imagine losing funding for the building I'm giving your school." The next conversation Asa has is with a judge in New York City. He lies to the judge about what Will has done and asserts that Will has "skipped bail" and since he's in NYC, "that's why I'm calling you."
Much later, Jessica arrives and demands that her grandfather "tell me what everybody's saying...that you're behind what's happened to Will...tell me it's not true."
The Diner
As Carlotta is thanking Antonio for coming back to help Cristian work out his problems, Roseanne enters the diner and vows to Antonio that she and Cristian certainly "will work this out...we'll be happily married for a long time." She asserts that it was Will who "pushed me to do everything I did" but Antonio doesn't "know who to believe." Roseanne then beats the dead horse again about doing it "because I love him...I know how important art is to him...I freaked out when the school cancelled his scholarship...Will offered...how could I take away his dream?" Antonio's opinion is that Roseanne should have "treated him like a man...not a puppet...if you really love him and want to do right...get this farce of a marriage annulled." Roseanne reasons that even Carlotta will agree that "marriage is forever...we had a church wedding" but Carlotta agrees with Antonio that annulment would be acceptable. Roseanne then turns on Antonio telling him "you always wanted me..." but this only deepens Antonio's conviction to get rid of Roseanne. "You always were a liar, even as a kid...this time you've gone over the line...I swear...I will get Cristian free of your lying and manipulating..." At this point, R.J. intervenes on Roseanne's behalf, accusing Antonio of "judging" another "human being with feelings" who has "made some serious mistakes..." The old tensions between R.J. and Antonio took over at this point when the focus of the conversation changed from Roseanne to matters in their past. R.J. accused Antonio of being a "snitch" and Antonio asked R.J. to "make everybody happy and get lost." R.J. vowed "I'm not going anywhere but...you will wish that I had." Antonio found the fact that R.J. and Téa are "together these days" to be the "most ridiculous thing I ever heard...she's too embarrassed to show her face ‘cause of the trash she's hanging out with." When this comment caused Carlotta to have to separate the two men, Antonio vowed, "I'm gonna be on you - right on you..." and R.J. promised there was "only one thing that's gonna end this and we're headed that way."
Hospital
Lindsay is shaken up by the fact that Dr. Conklin, Nora's doctor, is going to take over her care. She tells the doctor she "knows what happened between Nora and her ex" but Dr. Josie "can't comment on that" and wonders "how does that affect you?" Lindsay explains her reasons: she is marrying Nora's ex and her home pregnancy test was positive...but as the doctor suggests they draw blood and confirm the results, Nora overhears and asks Lindsay if she "is alright?"
Viki ran into Ben at the hospital after she learned her test results had not come in yet. When Ben questioned Viki about her visit with Dr. Hansen, Viki covered. Nora questioned Lindsay about her visit to the hospital, but Lindsay managed to sidestep giving Nora an answer. After receiving some information about the mix up with Bo's sperm test results, Nora was stunned to realize that Lindsay had tampered with the test. Lindsay spotted Drake and Dorian having dinner together and became convinced that she knew Drake from the past.
Later, Lindsay was thrilled when she received the positive results of her pregnancy test. Asa lied to Jessica about his part in Will's troubles. Jessica became convinced that Asa had nothing to do with Will's current situation, but Cristian began to suspect that Asa was involved. Jared took over Will's case and started to harbor suspicions about Roseanne.
