The morning after her televised appeal, Carly commiserates with Rosanna over the abundance of crank calls that have come in. When Sky Dog and Wyoming call, Carly assumes theyre scamming her and hangs up. Later, Rosanna leaves as Sky Dog and Wyoming show up and demand money in exchange for information. Meanwhile, Julia gets a call from the hospital asking her to fill in at the last minute so Jack agrees to take JJ to a baseball game in her place. Later, Jack notices tread marks at a rest stop where hes stopped with JJ. He gets a bad feeling and makes a call on a pay phone. Thinking hes calling Julia to warn her, he gets an electrified Carly instead. Paul accompanies Jessica to Lily and Holdens house and asks them to sign a friend of the court petition to support Wills release from the mental hospital. Lily is outraged and makes clear she doesnt believe in Wills innocence. Jessica gets Paul to leave before too much damage is done. Once theyre alone, Holden asks Lily to consider the possibility that a child of their own might make a serious mistake some day. Later, Holden decides to sign the petition in support of Will while Lily is dumbstruck and remains fiercely opposed. Barbara is stunned when Will shows up at her bedside and reveals that his scheme to bring mother and son together was a ruse to get him released. Will blames her for ruining his life and causing him to be committed in the first place. He declares that he hopes his mother rots in this place! Utterly devastated and alone, Barbara breaks down while Will takes comfort from big brother Paul and confesses hes scared of Barbara. Paul vows to move heaven and earth to get Will out of there.
