She hasn't and thinks he just wants that situation to be resolved so Vienna will leave the country. Henry insists that's not true, but when Vienna tries to get him to agree to have dinner with her, he spots Brad walking in and pretends that he already has plans with Brad. Vienna leaves, and Brad tells Henry he's being an idiot because Vienna is obviously still in love with him. Henry tells Brad he doesn't want to hurt Vienna all over again because he can't commit to a permanent relationship with her; Brad asks what would happen if he tried to move in on Vienna, and Henry replies, "They'd never find the body."

She thanks him, kisses him, and leaves. Brad tells Henry that Vienna's a keeper, and he needs to get in her room and spend the night with her.

He takes it and tells her to come back anytime but notes that it appears she's on the run right now. Carly ends up sitting alone at the Oakdale airport, talking to herself, saying Simon needs to get her out of this situation soon.

At the police station, Gwen tells Jack she wants Cleo to be set free; when Jack presses her for a reason for this sudden change of heart, Gwen says it's because she herself has done things in the past that were very wrong, and everyone deserves a second chance. Will arrives and is stunned to hear that Gwen wants to release Cleo; Jack leaves to give them a chance to talk, and Will insists that Gwen tell him the real reason for her change of heart. Gwen tells him that Carly's back and that Carly asked Cleo to impersonate Gwen so that she could see her kids again. Will still thinks they should keep Cleo locked up for all the other illegal things she's done, but Gwen insists that she be let go. When Jack returns to the interrogation room with Cleo, Will angrily tells Cleo that she has no business impersonating Gwen and interfering in their lives, but afterward, he turns to Jack and says he and Gwen want to give Cleo a second chance. A disbelieving Jack says he could still hold Cleo on charges without Gwen and Will's involvement, but he agrees to let her go, warning her that there will be no more chances and that she had better stay away from his kids, whether she's dressed as herself or as Gwen. As Cleo and Gwen walk out, Jack asks Will why he went along with Gwen; Will says, "I love my wife, and there's nothing I wouldn't do for her. You know all about that, right, Jack?" Will and Gwen take Cleo back to her room at the Wagon Wheel, where they tell Cleo she needs to take the bus to Chicago and either go back home or get a job there. Cleo says she already has a ticket, and they ask who bought it for her, but she covers for Jade by saying she'd bought the ticket thinking she was going to visit her aunt and uncle in Chicago. Will says she can do that now, but Cleo says it turns out they don't really want her to come visit them, so she'll just sleep out in the parks in Chicago since she has nowhere else to go. Will offers her money to help her out, but Cleo says that would destroy her dignity, and she can't accept it. Gwen is worried about sending Cleo away with no money and no place to go, but Will insists that it's not their problem, so they end up offering Cleo a ride to the bus station and nothing more. Cleo says they've done enough already, and she'll get there herself. They leave, and Cleo breaks down and cries.

Katie comes to the police station to see Jack, and he asks her what she'd do if someone was running around town impersonating her; she says she'd be furious and want the person locked up, and Jack tells her about Gwen letting Cleo go. He asks her what might possess Gwen to do such a thing, and Katie suggests that perhaps Gwen's protecting someone she cares about. Jack begins listing the people that might be, but he omits Carly; Katie adds Carly's name, but Jack says Carly's long gone and she isn't coming back. Jack gets a phone call, and Katie tries to leave, but he stops her and asks her what it was that she was tracking him down to tell him. She says that she doesn't want this to influence their crazy relationship, but she's asked Tom to file the paperwork for her divorce from Mike. Jack kisses her, then kisses her again, and they realize their "crazy little thing is about to get even crazier."
