Andy tells Molly that he doesn't think that they should get married. She says that they love each other and she thinks that they should get married. He questions whether they do love each other. He tells her that she has been acting strange lately and every time he asks her about it, she brushes him off. He tells her that they won't get married until she starts giving him some answers. Molly says that she has been stressed out from work, but he doesn't take that for an answer. She says that he is right, she was lying. He says that he has seen her and Reid together and has seen them arguing. She says that they were arguing over the interview that she is trying to do with him. Andy won't take that as true. She finally gives in and says that Reid thinks that he knows her better than she knows herself. She tells Andy that she went to him once for a therapy session and ever since he has been coming on to her. She tells him that he thinks that she is still in love with David Stenbeck. Andy says that it is time to teach Reid Hamilton some ethics. Molly tries to stop him but he leaves anyway. She tries to call Reid at home and then she tries his cell phone. He is at the Lakeview with Julia. He tells Molly that it is not the time. He acts like it is a patient to Julia. He tells Molly that they had talked about this in her last session, they need to respect their boundaries and he hangs up on her. Molly asks herself how she gets herself into these situations.

Out in the lobby, Carly goes over to Jack and tries to get him to leave. He says that he is there to look for Holden. She says that Holden isn't in there and they should leave.

Carly catches him and she won't let him go by himself. She takes him to the wine cellar where they can talk. She tells him that she feels somewhat responsible. If she hadn't been plotting to keep him and Julia apart, maybe Julia wouldn't have turned to Reid. Jack tells her that he only has himself to blame. Jack tells Carly that at times he was not there for Julia and then other times he held on too much. He says that it is his fault that they are where they are now.

Reid says that Molly has unresolved issues concerning David Stenbeck, she is in denial. Andy tells Reid that he has twisted Julia Lindsey around and now he wants to do that to Molly, it's not going to happen.
