After Carly's attack on Julia, the nurse calls Jack and he shows up at the mental hospital. Julia tells him that she told the nurse not to call him. He tells her to tell him the whole story about Carly's attack. She tells him how Carly tricked the nurses into letting her in. She tells him that she was dressed up like a candy striper. She tells him that she started saying awful things about her and how she accused her of not being mentally ill and she was only faking. Julia tells him how terrible she was and she couldn't believe that anyone would accuse her of such a thing. She also informs Jack about telling Carly about the horse. Jack can't believe that she told Carly about the horse. He tells Julia that he thought that they were only going to discuss the horse with Dr. Michaels. Julia says that Carly was saying such mean things to her that she snapped and told her. Jack asks Julia where Carly is now. Julia tells him that the nurse called the police and Hal came and took Carly away. Jack says that he has to get to the police station. Julia starts to whine about Jack running to Carly's aid and Jack tells her that he has to go do some damage control. Julia hugs him and says that she knows he will take care of her. Jack leaves to go to the police station. Julia walks over to one of the patients and tells him how she loves being crazy; she can get away with so much.
At the police station, Hal brings Carly in and she has handcuffs on. He takes her into the interrogation room and tells her to tell him what had provoked her to attack Julia? Carly tells Hal that Julia is no crazier than she is. Hal tells her to not go there. Carly starts to tell Hal about the horse and then she remembers what Julia said to her about nobody believing the biggest liar in town. She decides not to tell Hal about the horse. She tells Hal that she can't talk to him about Julia. Hal tells her that if she is not going to talk, then he will have to book her. Carly tells him that she wants to talk to Jack. Hal tells her that Jack is not on duty tonight. She tells him to book her and when Jack finds out, he will come to her. Hal tells an officer to book Carly and put her in a cell.
Later, Carly is in her cell and Margo comes to visit. Carly tells her that if Hal sent her to play the good cop, she can just go back and tell Hal that she is not talking to anyone but Jack. Margo tells her that Jack won't be in tonight. She reminds Carly that she will have to spend the night away from Parker and this won't win her any custody points. Carly turns to Margo and says to tell Hal that she is ready to talk. Margo takes Carly upstairs and tells Hal that Carly is ready to give her statement. Hal and Carly and Margo sit down and start to talk. Just as Carly is getting to the part that Julia killed her horse, Jack walks in and stops them. He tells Hal that he needs to talk to Carly first. Hal tells Jack that he has just started taking Carly's statement. Jack tells him that he will take it from here. Hal looks at Jack and says that they need to talk and the two men go off to the side. Jack tells Hal that there are some things that are really personal and he does not want them on the record. Hal tells him that he only booked Carly to get her to shut up and he tells Jack to take Carly home and let her blow off some steam. Jack tells Hal that he owes him one. Jack and Carly go to the interrogation room and Jack asks her if she knows about the horse. Carly turns to him and says that she can't believe that he knew what Julia did and he is still protecting her. She tells Jack that he is too decent. She says that he feeds off protecting Julia and coming to her aid. She says that everyone knows that, including Julia. She says that they can never be together because of that and she says good-bye and leaves the station.

Barbara came back in and said she cleared the day for them to talk about the wedding. She said she wanted Julia and Lisa to stand up for her and Craig informed her that Julia committed herself. Stunned, Barbara said she needed to go see her and they would have to put their plans on hold, which gave Craig the opportunity to go over the pre-nup with Cass.
Katie wasn't happy Simon decided to leave town so soon and wondered how she would explain it to the INS. Simon said she could claim he deserted her and he would give her an annulment so she could go on with her life.

She reminded him that she was the only one who could make him smile.
Bryant told Jen he would break up their parent's by making his father show his true colors through his one weakness - women. He told her he was working on a plan with Gabe and Ruby, but Jen said she didn't want him involved with them anymore and urged him to stay away from them. She announced she was going to pay Craig a visit and settle the matter herself. Bryant said if that doesn't work, they will go with his plan. She agreed.

Katie suggested they spend the few hours he had left together and Simon agreed.
Lisa and Barbara went to see Julia and asked her why she committed herself. Julia told them that it was to save her marriage because Jack saw her as an obstacle on his way back to Carly. She explained to them how Carly snuck into the hospital and then got arrested and how Jack went running after Carly to protect Julia - proof that he stilled cared about her. Lisa and Barbara didn't think she was doing the right thing trying to hold onto to Jack if he didn't love her anymore. Julia erupted and Barbara tried to tell her that all the stunts she pulled to hold onto Jack didn't work and this one won't either.
Jen showed up at Craig's and blasted him for breaking up her parent's marriage.

Bryant found Gabe and Ruby and he told them about Jen trying to convince Craig to call off the wedding. But Gabe said their plan is already in the works and Ruby will be the bait.
Julia was stunned to hear that Barbara and Lisa thought she was manipulating Jack. Barbara said they only wanted to make sure she was doing the right thing - especially since she will need her and Lisa to stand up for her at her wedding. Julia blew up at and asked Lisa why she supported Barbara for marrying Craig, but Lisa avoided the question and said it was time for them to leave. After they left, a nurse came over to make sure Julia was all right and Julia told her not to let Barbara visit her any more - the nurse left and Julia had an evil smile on her face.
Bryant didn't like the idea of using Ruby to get to his father because Craig knew she was involved in setting him up. But Gabe said that was why it's the perfect plan because he wouldn't suspect Ruby of trying to do anything. A hotel employee informed Gabe that Craig was on his way down for lunch and he said they will have their chance to try out the plan. Barbara walked into the lobby and Bryant snuck up the back way to get Jen.
Jen told Craig Bryant is just as upset about their wedding and he will drive him away. Craig insisted he was not responsible for her parents' break up and he reminded her about the car accident last summer with Bryant that caused Hal not to trust her anymore. He insinuated she was to blame for Hal and Barbara's failed marriage. Jen screamed that Bryant said he would twist everything around and that she hated him. Bryant came in and took her away. Out in the hall, Jen told Bryant she shouldn't have come and his father is evil.

A livid Carly demanded reimbursement from Craig for Barbara's newly purchased diamond ring. She calmed down when Craig told her the ring was left to him by his grandmother. Craig was stunned when Carly told him Julia had confessed to killing Flashdance and suggested that she sue her in civil court so they could split the proceeds of the settlement. Carly refused, stating she had promised Jack she would not tell the authorities and she intended to keep her promise.
Jack visited Julia in the psych ward and informed her that things were finally over between him and Carly. He discussed his wife's condition with Dr. Michaels and posed the question of whether or not Julia could be faking her illness to keep Jack from leaving the marriage. He later confronted Julia and accused her of getting pregnant on purpose and lying about her supposed mental state.
Ruby and Gabriel developed the incriminating photographs and showed them to Bryant. Bryant was skeptical when he viewed them and decided they wouldn't be enough. They decide they need to find another way to convince Barbara that Craig wanted to marry her for her money.
