Will convinced Gwen that she needs to see a doctor and he goes to Uncle Bob for assistance.

Since she hasn't, he lines up an appointment with Dr. Schiller. While Gwen is with Dr. Schiller, Bob talks with Will about Gwen - he assumes the baby is Will's, but Will insists that they are just friends and he is trying to help her. Inside the exam room, Dr. Schiller shows Gwen a sonogram of her baby. When the doctor leaves the room, she talks with Bob and Will about the baby's condition. The baby is much farther along than Dr. Schiller had guessed and she is concerned about the baby's small size and Gwen's health. Dr. Schiller leaves to see another patient, but Bob talks with her about some options and offers to help her talk with her parents. Gwen tells him that she took her stepfather and mother to court and has been emancipated from them for a year now. She asks him what she should do....he tells her that if she were his daughter, he would want her to continue her education.

When Will takes her home, he shows her the brochure on adoption, but instead she reaches for a cigarette. Will leaves and she takes out the photo of the baby.....and smiles.

Katie and Mike see Craig talking to Jessica at Metro. Craig has asked Jessica how he can get soul custody of Jennifer's baby - she tells him no way. He then asks how to get joint custody - she laughs and tells him that he would have to go to family court and show that he would be a good parent. Jessica really isn't interested in helping Craig, because, as he admits, he has an "image" problem. She does suggest some things that would help him look like a good parent in family court - gainful employment, a stable family life..... Craig asks him if marriage would help. She says maybe, but isn't convinced. Craig insists there must be a way to get Jennifer's baby since he is the father. Jessica leaves and Katie goes to Craig. She tells him that she will no longer support him if he does not leave Jennifer alone. Craig tells her - again - that he is the baby's father and wants to assert his rights, and he brushes her off. Katie is very hurt, but Mike comes to talk with her. Mike wants her to go to Jennifer and tell her what just happened with Craig. Katie doesn't want to - hasn't she been hurt enough? Jennifer reams her over the coals every time she sees her - why should she put herself up for more abuse? Mike convinces her that Jennifer should hear it from her, though, and so Katie goes to Jennifer and tells her that she told Craig she would no longer support him if he didn't leave her alone. Jennifer has a nasty retort, and Katie leaves. Mike goes to comfort Jennifer.

When Sadie left the table, Mike came up and asked Henry if he had had enough. Sadie returned and wanted Henry to join her on a bike ride. Henry made up an excuse that he had to work. Mike told Henry to call Katie and try to work things out with her. Henry called Katie and asked her if she would meet him at the Lakeshore Hotel. Katie got all excited and ran upstairs to get ready to go. At the hotel, Mike helped Henry prepare for Katie's arrival. Henry was nervous and he kept imagining Katie in various scenes as he waited.

Celia found the pregnancy pamphlets on Gwen's table and started questioning Gwen about it. At first Gwen denied it but then gave in and said it was true.

At the hotel, Katie encountered Mike instead of Henry and realized that she'd been stood up and that it had been Mike's idea for Henry to meet Katie at the hotel. Mike decided he couldn't leave her there alone when she was so sad, so he opened the champagne he'd gotten for her and Henry and told her they could watch a movie together. They settled on a western, which ended up reminding them of their trip to Montana when Sage was born, when Mike began to have feelings for Katie. By the end of the movie, Mike fell asleep.

At the sauna, Lucinda made up an excuse for having to leave, which Lily and Sierra questioned. Lucinda then went to see her doctor about the lump she felt in her breast, and she told the doctor she assumed it was a cyst, since she'd had cysts before. The doctor sent Lucinda to have a mammogram performed, telling her that her last mammogram was 3 years ago and that she should have been having them yearly. After the mammogram, the doctor told Lucinda the lump appeared "suspicious" and that she wanted to have it removed and analyzed as soon as possible. Lucinda refused to entertain the notion that the lump could possibly be cancerous and refused to make the appointment for the lumpectomy, saying that instead, she would approach another doctor, a male doctor, for a second opinion. As she left the doctor's office, she literally bumped into Meg Snyder, who apologized for running into her and bent to pick up her dropped paperwork; Lucinda shouted at her to leave her personal papers alone.

Barbara approached Dusty and Jennifer at the Lakeview and met Deacon, the bodyguard. Barbara told them that they can't control Craig that way; they would have to find a way to eliminate him from their lives once and for all. She told them that Craig had hired a lawyer and was probably going to work to re-polish his image and get visitation rights to the baby, building his case from there. Dusty told Jennifer not to worry, that the only way a judge would award any custody to Craig would be if they found Jennifer to be incompetent, and that since Jennifer already had a stable marriage and job, she had nothing to worry about. Craig overheard them talking and met Deacon, telling him they would see each other again. Then he sat down with Jessica Griffin to discuss his case, and Barbara again told Jennifer that Craig was planning a custody battle. Dusty told her she was creating trouble, and when Barbara asked Jennifer to go see Barbara's lawyer for advice, Jennifer declined. Barbara left, and Dusty told Jennifer that whatever it took, they would bring Craig down. Meanwhile, Jessica told Craig that without Rosanna to polish his image, he would have a very difficult time getting any type of custody agreement.

Earlier, Rosanna had gone to see Craig and told him she had decided to use Emily to get to Paul. She told Craig that she had decided to tell Emily the truth about it having been Barbara who poisoned her; Craig told her that if Emily believed this sudden change in Rosanna's story, she would go running after Barbara to press charges, which would result in everyone finding about that Cabot is alive and jeopardizing his new life. Rosanna said she would find a way to convince Emily not to do that, by appealing to her maternal instincts, and that if Emily accepted the truth, then Paul would, too.

At Susan's house, Susan told Emily that she thinks Hal loves her and that she should try to work things out with him. Susan left, and as Emily was about to leave to go talk to Paul, she ran into him at Susan's doorstep. When he tried to kiss her, she brushed him off, telling him that they couldn't do that, because she was breaking her promises to Hal and ducking reality. Paul told her that he thought reality should be ducked every chance you got, especially since their respective realities haven't been so great lately. He told Emily that she was his escape from reality. She reminded him of what Hal has meant to him in the past, that he has practically been a father to Paul and that he deserves their respect. Paul told Emily he would wait until she had a chance to tell Hal how she felt before they carried on anymore, but Emily told Paul they need to stop seeing each other completely until that happens. Despite saying that, they ended up in each other's arms again, and when they heard a knock at the door, they ignored it. Rosanna, having seen Emily's car out front, opened the door and walked into the room to find Emily and Paul caught up in each other's arms.
