Molly arrives and tries to convince Jake that they can find Matthew themselves. Craig laments to Katie about his blown relationship with Barbara. When Barbara unexpectedly knocks on his door, Katie punches Craig in the stomach so that it looks like hes suffering. Barbara asks Craig if his breaking up with her was his idea or Carlys. Thinking he has been caught, Craig offers to show Barbara out, but she wants to know if he was being sincere. He surprises even himself when he states that he would understand if she didnt want to marry him. After hearing his testament, Barbara declares that the wedding is still on. Lily demands to know what Simon is doing in Lucindas house with Ruby. Ruby adds fuel to the fire by commenting on Simons past.

Later, Simon reports what happened at Lucindas to Craig, who is now more determined than ever to make sure his wedding goes off without a hitch. Craig plans on making Gabe and Rubys small plan into a large one that will benefit him. Craig asks Simon to steal the photos of him and Ruby back from Lucinda.
