Frank explains he is taking time off to take Neil on a trip to visit Joe. Karen doesn't understand how Frank could leave her at such a critical time. She demands the truth about what is going on.

While Rafe silently pleads for Frank to do the right thing, Chris told Karen that Frank is hiding the truth from her. That Frank is sneaking around behind her back with Gabriela. Frank struggles with the dilemma of what to do. He finally blurts out the truth about Chris withholding the antidote. Karen claims she would rather die than be stuck with Chris. Chris says fine.

With the spell, Chris will be forced to tell the truth. He will not be able to utter a single lie until the day Rafe leaves town.

In a Jim Carrey, Liar Liar fashion, Chris confesses every single bad thing he has done to Karen and concedes the fact that he is a scumbag. He gives Karen the rest of the antidote while agreeing that he doesn't deserve her or anyone else for that matter. He seems shocked at the words coming out of his mouth, but is powerless to stop it.

Lucy scrambles to find and excuse claiming she is not shopping for herself, but for an employee who is getting married.

Suddenly she realizes she forgot the present from Kevin. She rushes back in time to see him buying another scarf. Kevin told her it is a gift for Livvie.
