At the police station, Gwen tells Jack she wants Cleo to be set free; when Jack presses her for a reason for this sudden change of heart, Gwen says it's because she herself has done things in the past that were very wrong, and everyone deserves a second chance. Will arrives and is stunned to hear that Gwen wants to release Cleo; Jack leaves to give them a chance to talk, and Will insists that Gwen tell him the real reason for her change of heart.

Will still thinks they should keep Cleo locked up for all the other illegal things she's done, but Gwen insists that she be let go. When Jack returns to the interrogation room with Cleo, Will angrily tells Cleo that she has no business impersonating Gwen and interfering in their lives, but afterward, he turns to Jack and says he and Gwen want to give Cleo a second chance. A disbelieving Jack says he could still hold Cleo on charges without Gwen and Will's involvement, but he agrees to let her go, warning her that there will be no more chances and that she had better stay away from his kids, whether she's dressed as herself or as Gwen. As Cleo and Gwen walk out, Jack asks Will why he went along with Gwen; Will says, "I love my wife, and there's nothing I wouldn't do for her. You know all about that, right, Jack?"

Will offers her money to help her out, but Cleo says that would destroy her dignity, and she can't accept it. Gwen is worried about sending Cleo away with no money and no place to go, but Will insists that it's not their problem, so they end up offering Cleo a ride to the bus station and nothing more.
