Rosanna explains to Jordan that he has to sign the papers and adopt Cabot, too. He protests that he never agreed to that, but when she tearfully pleads that she'll lose her son again if he doesn't sign, he gives in. Rosanna drops the bomb that they have to stay married for two years. Jordan flips and accuses Rosanna of having known this all along. A panicked Rosanna begs him to just sign so she can keep Cabot and promises she'll find a way out of this. Jordan signs but warns her shes got two weeks to make everything right. Katie desperately tries to reach Henry to warn him that the doctor from Deerbrook is at the police station. Meanwhile, Henry pulls out all the stops to convince Russ that Pilar is planning on taking off for the good life with Mike and leaving Russ in the dust. Henry finally gets a message from Katie, and manages to sneak out. But back at Deerbrook, he and Katie are busted, and Henry is hauled off to solitary lock-up. Mike discovers the photo Pilar took of them post lovemaking but shes able to cover. Russ calls and demands to see her right away. He issues her an ultimatum: either she gets him out of here and delivers the money she promised, or hell talk. Meanwhile, Mike asks Margo to check on Katie, deciding not to contact her himself. Lucy confides in Lucinda about Craigs shenanigans in Vegas. She's so upset that she decided to move back to Montega. Craig begs Lucy not to leave him. He apologizes and pleads for another chance, swearing he'll change. Lucy realizes he cant change. She holds firm - he is her father and she loves him, but cannot deal with him anymore. Lucy calls Montega and leaves a message for her mom.
