Johnny's Custody Hearing

Craig goes to Carly's house hungover, but tells Carly he wants to apologize for some of the things he said last night. He asks Carly for a favor - to be a character witness for him at the custody hearing. Carly says she can't do that without perjuring herself, though. She suggests asking Katie or Margo to be a character witness for him instead, but Craig reminds her they can barely stand to be in the same room with him. She suggests speaking from his heart and being honest with the judge. Craig asks Carly if she thinks he could make a good father, and Carly tells him if he can provide Johnny with safety and security. Craig leaves Carly's angry.

Meg and Dusty get ready for the hearing at the farm. Dusty tells Meg Emma still isn't speaking to him, but hopes she will come around eventually. Emma has agreed to watch Johnny during the hearing. Meg tells Dusty Lily agreed to watch Eliza during the hearing as well.

Josie arrives at Fairwinds to check on Paul. She tells Paul to accept that Meg and Dusty are married, but she doesn't think it will last because Dusty married Meg to get custody of Johnny.

He talks about teaching Dusty a lesson before he leaves.

At the courthouse, Craig fires his lawyer, and Carly asks him if he is trying to lose this case. Craig tells her he is just taking her advice. Craig asks Carly what she is doing there and she tells him she is there to support him from the sidelines.

Meg and Dusty tell Tom they got married a couple of days ago in order to show the judge that they can provide a stable, secure, two-parent home for Johnny.

Craig tells Tom he has no hard feelings, but then goes on to bring up the Adam and Hal situation and tells Tom considering the way Adam turned out he may have been better off with his biological father.

Carly runs into Meg before the hearing. Meg asks her what she is doing there and Carly tells her she is there to support Craig. Carly asks if Meg is there to support Dusty, and Meg tells Carly she is there to support her husband.

Josie warns Dusty Paul may try to disrupt the hearing, but Dusty thinks Josie should be smarter than to believe Paul would have anything on him.

At their apartment, Katie and Brad make love. Later, they go down to the station to see if Brad can have his job back. Kim says Brad has made too many mistakes, and can't have his job back. After Brad leaves, Kim says she has an idea and tells Katie she wants to video her and Brad's journey to having a baby. Katie agrees, as long as if it works out, Kim has to give Brad's job back.

Josie tries to stop Paul from making a scene in the courtroom, but he barges in anyway. He tells the judge Meg and Dusty's marriage isn't legal. When Tom tells the judge the hearing isn't about the marriage, but Johnny, the judge tells Tom that since Dusty is claiming to be able to provide a stable, two-parent home while Craig cannot, the validity of the marriage is relevant.

Paul hands the Judge documents that prove the divorce document Meg filed in Reno was backdated so she and Dusty wouldn't have to wait to get married. He also tells the Judge Dusty only married Meg so he could get full custody of Johnny. He tells the Judge if he doesn't believe Paul he can ask Josie.

Craig asks Josie several questions about Meg and Dusty's marriage and she confirms the marriage was done so Dusty could get custody of his son. Dusty brings up Craig was trying to do the same thing by getting married to Carly.

The Judge says he's heard enough and he's made his decision.

Katie returns to the apartment and tries to tell Brad about the camera crew and the show idea, but the camera crew interrupts. Katie then tells Brad that Kim wants to document their journey to having a baby. At first, he is not pleased, but Katie tells him if this works out, then he can get his old job back. When Katie tells Brad she wants to do this, he agrees to go along with it.

The Judge awards full custody of Johnny to Craig. This upsets Dusty a great deal, and he tries to go after the Judge, but he won't listen. Dusty wants to hit Craig, but Meg pulls him away before he can do so. Craig says he will be at the farm in an hour to pick up his son. Tom tells Dusty he will keep looking for other options for Dusty, but that Craig's being Johnny's biological father has a lot of weight.

Meg confronts Paul; she is very angry. She tells Paul she can't stand the sight of him. She tells him he has ruined Jennifer's last wish. She wonders how Barbara will feel when she hears Craig is raising her grandson. Meg storms off.

Dusty pulls Josie into another room and asks her why she told Paul why Dusty really married Meg. Josie tells him she thought it would calm him down and tells him she thought he wouldn't do anything stupid. Meg and Dusty leave and Josie and Paul watch.
