Gabe tells Craig that he removed Matthew from Lucindas house and replaced him with Ruby as part fo his plan. When Craig divulges that he is planning a hostile takeover of Worldwide, he and Gabe brainstorm for ways to make Lucinda seem incapacitated. Gabe tells Craig about a drug that they could slip to Lucinda that would make her appear incompetent. Jake and Molly discover that the last place Matthew was seen was the Lakeview Lounge. After questioning the bartender, Jake and Molly deduce that he met a woman at the bar and took a cab from there. Simon, despite Katies protests, agrees to meet Lily at the Old Mill. Katie follows them and eavesdrops on their conversation. Simon admits to Lily that everything that he said to her was a lie; he was only interested in the diamond. Lily asks if their relationship was a lie as well. He proclaims his feelings for her were true. Lily finds out that Simon is working for Craig and asks him to promise not to help Craig destroy her mother. When Simon tells Craig that he wont break into Lucindas house to get the pictures of Craig and Ruby, Craig is angry but agrees to do it himself. Meanwhile, Rose agrees to keep Lilys meeting with Simon a secret from Holden. Later, she almost reveals Lilys secret, but she decides not to risk her new relationship with Lily. When Lily returns she is grateful for Roses discretion and tells Holden that she is glad they are moving on from the past. Abigail accidentally finds a poem that Adam wrote to her expressing that his feelings for her are deeper than friendship. Abigail wants to discuss it, but an embarrassed Adam tears up the poem and leaves.
