Julia had a note sent to Craig telling him that Carly is wearing a wire. Hal and Jack are listening outside the hotel in a van. Jack can tell that Carly is in trouble. He calls her on her cell phone and when Carly answers the phone Craig takes it away from her. Craig says nothing and Jack says nothing. Jack realizes that Craig has the phone and hangs up. Craig hangs up the phone and corners Carly. He asks Carly what is she up to? Is she betraying him? She tells him she doesn't know what he's talking about. He starts to touch her jacket and she pushes his hand away. She walks away from him so he doesn't know she has a wire under her jacket. Out in the van, Jack realizes she is in trouble. Jack tells Hal that he has to go inside and help her. Hal tries to stop Jack, but he can't catch him. Jack runs into the hotel and tries to get on the elevator but misses it. He can't get the elevator to come back, so he looks around to see what he can find. He sees the fire alarm and he pulls it. Carly and Craig hear the alarm go off and Carly knows that Jack is there to save her. A bellhop comes to the door and tells them that they need to leave the room. Craig tells them that they will leave in a minute, when they are decent. Carly says that she is as decent as she is going to get, but it will take a minute for him and points at Craig. She pushes past him and leaves. Down in the lobby they find out that the alarm was a hoax. As Craig and Carly starts to leave the manager stops them. The manager tells Craig that he has a problem with his bill. Craig tells him he will take care of it later but the manager won't let him leave until he has paid the bill. Craig tells Carly to stay in that spot and not leave. Craig leaves with the manager and Carly starts to look around and she sees Jack standing in the hall. Craig is keeping his eye on Carly and she slowly walks over to the end of the hall and asks Jack what is he doing there? Jack tells her that Craig knows she is wearing a wire. She slips into the hall with Jack and he helps her take the wire off. They get the wire off and Jack wants her to leave with him. Carly tells him that she wants to go ahead with the deal so they can catch the crooks and she can be done with Craig. Jack tries to argue with her but she won't listen to him. She tells Jack to follow her and keep her safe. Jack slips away just as Craig returns. Craig makes Carly go back upstairs with him. When they get into the suite, Craig starts to strip Carly down. She yells at him to stop. He feels all over her body and she pushes him away. She says, "At least you could kiss me first." She looks at him like he is crazy. He tells her that he can't be too careful. This deal is his whole life. She says that she understands and it holds a lot for her. She starts toward the door and Craig asks her where is she going? She says that she doesn't trust him and he doesn't trust her so she is leaving. He tells her to wait. He takes out the earrings that contain the microchips and says, "Le

At the old mill, Carly and Mei-Lin walk through the door and they see Cindy and two men standing there. Cindy says that she hopes that it won't be like last time and they get some unwanted company. Carly says that they need to get on with it. Cindy asks for the goods. Carly takes off the earrings and gives them to Cindy. Cindy opens the earrings and takes out the microchips and hands them to a nerdy looking guy. Carly asks who he is and Cindy tells him that he is the computer geek that will check to see if the microchips are real. The nerdy guy drops the chips in a small hand-held machine and Carly puts her hand on the machine and stops him. She tells Cindy that she has seen the chips, now they need to see the money. Cindy motions to the other guy, who is a big brawny guy and he brings over a briefcase and puts it on the table and opens it up. It is full of money. Carly starts to touch the money and Cindy slams the lid on her. She motions for the nerdy guy to continue. He pushes some buttons and then he tells Cindy that the chips are fake. Cindy gets upset and accuses Carly and Mei-Lin of trying to pass off fake microchips on her. She asks if they thought she was stupid enough to not check the chips out. Carly asks Mei-Lin if this is another one of Craig's loyalty test? Mei-Lin shakes her head no. Mei-Lin tells Cindy that Craig thinks these chips are real. Cindy looks at the big brawny guy and tells him to destroy them. Carly starts to beg for her life. Cindy laughs and says, "Oh, you thought I meant you? I am talking about the chips." The big brawny guy takes the chips and cuts them in two with some wire cutters. Cindy and the two men leave. Carly tells Mei-Lin that her life is as worthless as those microchips.

She hangs up the phone and says that she will find him herself. She goes to the hotel and finds the van. Hal is in the van and she asks where Jack is. Hal tells her to go home. She begs Hal to tell her. He tells her that she had better hope that he isn't somewhere getting shot. He says that he has to take the van back because there was no use for it now since Carly no longer had a wire on her. She tells Hal that she is sorry. He yells at her again and tells her to just go home and wait for Jack there. She looks very sad and she leaves the van.

Lily and Lucinda argued when Lily informed her that she would be unable to attend Sierra's going away party. Lucinda was outraged over Lily's decision to divorce Holden so that she could spend her life with Simon.

Just as Simon was about to tell Katie that he wanted out of their marriage, she informed him that she was pregnant. Simon was shocked but disbelieving when she couldn't remember the doctor's name who confirmed the pregnancy. As he interrogated her further, Katie feigned morning sickness to stop the barrage of questions. Although Simon was upset and stunned at the news, he told Katie he would do the right thing and stick by her. His suspicions were renewed, however, when she didn't even know her own due date. To learn more about what it's like to be pregnant, Katie talked to Margo under the pretense of writing a story about teen pregnancy. When Margo saw through her ruse, Katie lied to her, as well, and informed her sister of her pregnancy.

Carly rushed Julia to the hospital. At the Snyder farm Holden tried to convince Jack to find out what Carly knew about the stolen horse. As they were talking, Carly showed up and told Jack that Julia was in the hospital and could possibly lose their baby. They raced to the hospital where the doctor informed Jack and Julia that their baby was no longer alive. Jack was horrified at the news and blamed himself for not being there for his wife when she needed him most. Carly tried her best to console him but he was racked with guilt.

Meanwhile, back at the farm, Lily dropped by to give Holden the news that she wanted a divorce. Her announcement was put off when she found Holden and Luke playing and she decided to join in their fun and stay for dinner. In the middle of dinner, they were interrupted by a phone call from Simon, who informed Lily of Katie's pregnancy.
