Katie starts auditioning men for her workout video. Simon walks in and Katie is forced to tell him the truth about her new job. Simon is immediately wary of whether or not Dahlia is on the level. Katie is upset by Simons lack of enthusiasm and they argue, until Katie realizes that they are having their first fight. Simon approaches Dahlia to warn her not to raise expectations too high. Jen finds Abi at Als Diner and the old friends catch up. Jen tries to comfort Abi, assuring her that she could never have killed Nick, but Abi is adamant about turning herself in. At the station, Hal and Margo dont believe Adams admission of guilt (that he killed Nick). They send him home and he runs to Jake and Molly to fill them in on what he did. He tells Molly that he confessed to the murder to buy Abi time to get out of town. Molly doesnt want Abi running from the law and they convince Adam that the best thing to do is take Abi to the police station. He agrees to pick her up, but when he finds her, he insists that they leave town immediately. Later, Jake, Molly and Tom arrive to reveal the whole truth to Margo while they wait for Adam to bring Abi. Jack is determined to find the link between Barbara, Stenbeck and the kidnappings. Jack convinces Hal to bring Barbara in for questioning. Meanwhile, after Barbara is spooked by a dream she had of James, John comforts her into revealing that she trusted the wrong person, but she doesnt give details. Barbara prepares for her perfect evening with her family, but Jack, Hal and Paul interrupt her idealistic image.
