Katie apologizes for trying to seduce Simon and begs him to stay in Oakdale for one more day so they can get to know each other. She continues to question him about his past and he cryptically admits to having been in love before. Simon insists that he has no prospects in Oakdale and therefore no reason to stick around. Katie asks Craig to give Simon a job. Cass and Craig meet to discuss Barbaras prenuptial agreement; Cass doesnt see any loopholes in the legal document. Meanwhile, Ruby and Gabe set their plan in motion and Ruby descends upon Craig in the Lakeview Lounge. Gabe eagerly takes pictures of the two sitting next to each other. Craig tells Ruby to remove her hand from his thigh and tells her to cut the crap and tell him what she really wants from him. She apologizes to Craig for how she conned Bryant. Craig leaves Ruby and returns to his suite, moments later she arrives at his door. Bryant doesnt tell Jen the details of his plan with Gabe to stop the wedding, but both agree the wedding cannot go on. Holden tells Rose that he is moving back home with Lily, despite the incident with the letter. Rose is upset, but wishes them well. She decides to go and talk to Lily, who chastises Rose for playing dirty and planting the letter. Rose agrees to accept Holdens decision, but she insists she is not leaving town. As they conclude their conversation, the doorbell rings. Lily answers to an excited Holden who sweeps her into his arms. A shattered Rose emerges from the shadows and locks eyes with Holden.
