Casey Plants Drugs on Elwood

Margo and Tom are at the police station, and Margo is feeling guilty for going out of town for the night. She learns that Reg died of a drug overdose last night. She is grateful that Casey wasn't involved, but then she learns Reg collapsed at Casey's 21st birthday party. Tom leaves to check on Casey.

Casey and Jade wake up, hung over. They can't believe they slept together. They hear a knock on the door and rush to get dressed. However, Noah and Luke walk in; everyone feels uncomfortable. Noah and Luke tell Casey and Jade about Reg's death and their theory that Elwood sold him the drugs they found in his jacket pocket. Casey tells them they don't have enough evidence to go to the police, so he takes matters into his own hands. He calls Elwood and leaves him a message, asking him to meet Casey in the park. Jade doesn't think this is such a good idea, but Casey doesn't care.

Craig arrives at Carly's to give her bad news. The deal they had with the distributor fell through. Carly is disappointed. Craig says he has set up another meeting with a different distributor, but they have to leave now to make it to New York in time. Carly is angry with Craig and reminds him she can't just take off any time she wants to - she has kids to take care of. Craig reminds her of the money involved and how much success they will have, and Carly is sold. She goes to get ready to leave for New York.

At the hospital, Margo finds Alison and asks her some questions about Casey's birthday party. Alison is offended Margo would think she would know who might have had drugs at the party, and she reminds Margo she no longer uses drugs. Alison also informs Margo she and Casey are no longer involved. Matt arrives and tells Margo about the party and his new job at Yo's. Margo is surprised to see Matt as she didn't know he had been released from jail yet. After Margo leaves, Matt asks Alison if she wants to take a walk in the park on her break, and she agrees.

Tom comes home to find his house a wreck. He also discovers Jade's bra and thinks it's Alison's. He calls Margo to tell her there's trouble at the house. When she arrives, Tom shows her the bra and tells her he thinks it's Alison's, but Margo tells him Alison says she's no longer involved with Casey. They both wonder who the bra belongs to, and Tom leaves to find Casey.

Craig and Carly have their meeting in New York. Craig thinks it went really well, but Carly isn't so sure, until he reminds her how great she was in the meeting. She finally agrees she did well. Craig invites Carly to celebrate over lunch. They arrive at a private club in Brooklyn. Craig informs her this is more research. He has set up several bottles of vodka and tells her they need to sample more varieties from different countries. Carly seems to be enjoying herself and tells Craig this is the most fun she's had in a long time. He asks her which vodka is her favorite, and she tells him she can't decide. He blindfolds her and asks her to taste a vodka and to tell him where it came from. She is able to do so, and Craig is impressed with how much knowledge she can retain. They nearly kiss, but Craig backs off and leads a tipsy Carly out of the bar.

Casey is waiting for Elwood in the park. Matt spots him and comes to talk with Casey. Casey tells Matt about their suspicions that Elwood sold Reg the drugs and his plan to set up Elwood. Matt asks if he needs back-up, but Casey says he's fine. Matt walks away.

Luke and Jade go to Java for coffee. Noah is working. Luke asks Jade what she was thinking sleeping with Casey. He reminds her the whole point of last night was to get Casey and Alison together, but Jade insists Alison is over Casey.

Elwood arrives at the park and he and Casey rehash the past. Casey complains about being kicked out of school and his job as a janitor. Casey asks Elwood for drugs, but Elwood insists he doesn't know what Casey is talking about and turns to walk away. Casey grabs him and slips the drugs found in Reg's pocket into Elwood's book bag. Matt comes back after Elwood leaves and Casey tells him what happened. Allie arrives at the park to meet Matt and finds Casey there as well. Casey starts walking off, but then turns and apologizes to Alison for being mean to her last night. Allie tells him it is fine, that Matt took good care of her. She tells him she knows he took Jade back home and slept with her. Casey storms off. Alison tells Matt how she saw Jade and Casey last night and says it's all her fault.

Casey arrives at Java and tells Luke, Noah, and Jade what happened at the park. He tells them that he slipped the drugs into Elwood's bag and begs Luke and Noah to go to the police to have them pick him up. They are hesitant, but Casey tells them if they don't go to the police, he will. They agree to go, and walk out.

Jade tells Casey he did the right thing, when Tom walks into Java and tells Casey they need to talk. Tom demands to know what on earth Casey is doing with Jade. Casey tells his father his love life is not his business. Tom tells Casey about Reg's death, and Casey says he'll do anything to avenge him. Tom wants to know what that means when Jade interrupts. He hands Jade back her bra and tells Casey and Jade to be more discrete next time. Tome leaves.

Luke and Noah arrive at the police station and talk with Margo. They tell her they believe Elwood sold Reg the drugs and Margo orders that Elwood be brought in for questioning. Shortly thereafter, Elwood arrives and Margo wants to know if he knew Reg. She tells him that Reg died of an overdose of hydrocodone and alcohol. Elwood is nervous, but tells her he had nothing to do with it. She asks to search his book bag and he agrees while another officer pats him down. Margo doesn't find any drugs in the bag, so she releases him.

At the hospital, Matt tells Alison she deserves better. She tells him how she wishes it were spring because it makes her feel good. She says she wants to have a picnic in the woods, away from everyone, except Matt. On her break, Allie discovers Matt has thrown her a picnic in the hospital. Allie is really touched Matt remembered all of her favorite things to eat and tells him he is a great friend.

Noah and Luke return to Java and tell Casey the police didn't find anything in the bag. Casey is shocked. He vents to Jade and says he needs to come up with another plan to get Elwood locked up. Jade wants to talk about their relationship.

Carly and Craig arrive at her house, but Carly is still feeling horrible from all the vodka. Craig goes to make hot chocolate and Carly teases him about doing housework. The distributor calls Craig and tells him he loves their idea and wants to sign with them. Craig tells Carly and they are thrilled. Craig kisses her, but she pulls away quickly. Craig tells Carly it was just a business kiss, but swears it will never happen again because it upset Carly so much. Craig returns to making hot chocolate in the kitchen.

Craig and Carly Meet With A Distributor

At Al's, Jack is feeling very tired. He wants to go to the station to help with Eliza's search, but Janet points out that he can't do anything for a search that's going on in New York. They talk about Sage's play, and Janet says she isn't going because it will be awkward for Sage to have her mother and stepmother there. She also says she didn't get a ticket to go. At that moment, Carly comes in and drops off tickets for Jack and Janet to go to Sage's play. As the three talk, Craig calls, but Carly ignores it.

Josie tries to encourage Meg about Eliza, but Meg seems inconsolable. Meg begs Paul to try to have a vision. Dusty tells her it won't work. Josie reminds him that it helped him find Johnny, but Dusty denies the vision helped at all. Paul says he's been trying to have a vision, but he hasn't had any. Meg takes his hand while Paul holds Eliza's blanket. She describes a scene with Eliza in it and Paul has a vision. He sees the outdoors and hears a wolf. He then see a statue of a dog in Central Park. Dusty shows Paul a travel guide of the area and Paul is able to pick out the statue he saw in his vision. Paul goes to tell Barbara they are leaving to find the statue, and the four of them leave.

Carly talks to Craig outside. He tells her he has found a distributor for their vodka line, but they have to go to Chicago today because he will be out of town for a month. Carly says she can't go because she has to get Sage ready for her play, but Craig tells her how big of a deal this is. She finally agrees.

Inside Al's, Jack watches Carly and Craig talk, intently. Janet gets upset with him obsessing over Carly's life again and asks him to help her fill salt and pepper shakers so that she will be at Sage's play on time. Janet obsesses about what she will wear and says she wants to look perfect for the occasion. She says she doesn't want to embarrass Sage. Jack agrees to help her.

When Carly comes back into Al's, Janet and Jack are kissing. She asks them to pick Sage up from school, to dress her in her costume, and to do her makeup. Janet says she can handle Sage's makeup, and Carly makes sure Janet understands the makeup needs to be subtle.

Paul, Meg, Josie, and Dusty arrive at Central Park. They see a couple who is holding red flowers. Dusty convinces Paul to distract them. He walks over to the couple and learns they are there to buy Eliza. He takes them on a walk while Meg and Dusty take their place. They pick up the red flowers and the real thief approaches. They say they are there to buy a baby and the thief asks if they have the money. Dusty hands the thief some money and he asks where the rest is. They say they want to see the baby first. The thief tells them he has a baby girl and tells them to wait there while he goes to get her. Dusty wants to follow him, but Meg begs him to stay there with her so the thief doesn't realize something is up.

Jack and Janet arrive at Sage's school to pick her up. She immediately asks where her mom is, and Janet said she had to go to a meeting, but would be back to see her in the play. Sage is disappointed and doesn't seem to believe Janet is capable of doing her makeup. At the farm, Janet struggles to figure out what Carly meant by subtle makeup. Jack is making her nervous, so she makes him leave the room. Sage tells Janet she is worried about remembering her lines and Janet admits she's worried about subtle makeup. Janet puts on the finishing touches - some sparkly makeup on Sage's face, then shows her the finished product. Sage is thrilled, and goes to get her wings. Jack, who had been watching from the porch, comes back in and tells Janet she did wonderfully. Sage comes back into the room with her wings on, ready for the play.

Craig and Carly finish their meeting in Chicago, and Carly isn't convinced it went so well. Craig thinks it went fine, however. Carly complains that the vallet isn't waiting for them, and when they spot him, he goes the other way. The distributor catches up with them outside and asks how soon they can start production. Craig cuts Carly off and says they can start right away. They go back inside with the distributor and talk about the details.

The couple Paul is distracting demands to know where he is taking them. Paul loses it and tells them they are horrible people for buying a baby, that Eliza is his child and that she's been kidnapped. The couple run off. Josie follows the thief when he goes to get the baby. She hears him tell his partner they will sell the baby to someone else. She tries to stop them, but they slug her and put her inside the car with Eliza and drive off.

Paul returns to Meg and Dusty and they fill him in on what's happened. They say they've been waiting a half an hour for the thief to bring Eliza to them, but he hasn't shown up. Meg blames herself for letting the thief get away. They realize Josie is missing. Paul tries to call her cell, but she doesn't answer. They walk around looking for her. Paul and Dusty argue about what to do. Paul thinks Dusty and Meg should go to the police and identify the thief.

Craig and Carly make it back in town, but miss Sage's play. Sage is so excited she remembered all of her lines. Jack tells Carly the school taped it, and she'll be able to see it on tape. Carly is disappointed she missed her daughter's play. Sage comes over and asks her mom how she thought she was in the play. Carly tells Sage she is wonderful, and Sage doesn't realize she's missed the play.

The thieves drag Josie and Eliza out of the car and lock her in a room. Josie drops her bracelet on the ground. Josie does her best to calm Eliza down, but she won't stop crying. Meg, Paul, and Dusty find the bracelet by the house and are trying to decide what to do when Meg realizes she hears Eliza crying. Meg wants to burst into the house. Paul and Dusty head for the door when the thieves come outside. Paul and Dusty fight them while Meg runs into the house and finds Josie and Eliza. When they come back outside, the police arrive and arrest the thieves. The cops then arrest Paul. Meg and Dusty make sure Josie will be okay before they walk away.

Janet and Jack take Sage back to the farm. She cannot stop talking about how great the play was. She thanks Janet for her help and for making her so pretty. She even gives Janet a kiss. Janet is extremely excited to have Sage's gratitude, and Janet and Jack celebrate the fact that Sage is coming around.

Craig goes back to Carly's with her. He says they should celebrate their business, but Carly is still disappointed about missing Sage's play. Craig tells her she's doing a good thing, that she will be able to provide for her family both emotionally and financially. Carly admits she is scared to be rich because every time she's had money, she's ended up more broke than she's ever been. She doesn't want to put her kids through that. Craig reminds Carly he doesn't want to lose Johnny either, and that any business opportunity he is going to get involved in will be 100% legit. They decide to celebrate after all.
