Emily (Emily VanCamp) has a flashback to the night the police arrested her father and dragged him away from her and wakes when Carl slams his bowl down. She doesn't want the same thing for Carl since a parent shouldn't be separated from their child, as she tells David (James Tupper). Who is looking after Carl, he brings him a yellow taxi toy to play with. She says that whoever did this will pay and thinks Margaux (Karine Vanasse) must've done it since she's coming after her, but why would she go after Jack. Let's not question Margaux's rationality, cos she has none. David knows Jack (Nick Wechsler) would never drink and drive, especially not with Carl. She has to help Jack and leaves for the bail hearing, with David telling Carl at least someone in the family listens to him.
Schaefer (Jeffrey David Anderson) brings him to the jail asking if he has to be cuffed and his blood test will prove that he wasn't drinking. But conveniently the lab has mislaid his blood sample. He thinks maybe Schaefer could be dirty. Jack walks in to find Emily called his mother, Stevie (Gail O'Grady) who flew down to defend him. She asks if he was drinking and he replies no. She knows he's telling the truth cos she was an alcoholic herself and so would see it in his eyes.
Margaux is having an ultrasound and Victoria (Madeleine Stowe) shows up with a sketch of the wing she wants to name after Daniel. There's a meeting of the hospital board and she's hoping they will back it up cos she knows they need the money to save lives. She also says they can announce Margaux's pregnancy at the board meeting. Which Margaux doesn't want to do. They hear the baby's heartbeat and see the picture. Nolan (Gabriel Mann) tells Louise (Elena Satine) that Jack is in trouble and Ben (Brian Hallisay) turns up as he's leaving. He breaks the news about Lyman being found and she says he was drunk the night before and she hadn't seen him. Nolan replies the only argument was between him and Louise cos he didn't want Lyman staying here.
Jack pleads not guilty but the DA thinks he's a flight risk. Stevie tells Judge Knowles (Lucinda Jenney) about his ties to the community and is a decorated officer and should be released without bail. The judge however orders Social Services to check him out. Stevie knows the judge is seeking re-election. Thought she was a bit of a useless judge and too ready to throw the book at Jack. Emily sees Margaux there and tells her this is between them and she should leave Jack out of it. She refuses and her lackey stops Emily from getting hold of Margaux. She insists it was all Emily who started this and anything that happens to Jack is her fault.
Alexander (Tim Powell) tells Victoria the board denied her proposal, there was one person who voted against it. The voting is anonymous but he's trying to find out who it is. Victoria notices Emily's name on the list and assumes it was her. Of course it wasn't, she wouldn't do anything like that to Daniel now, especially after he saved her life. Stevie knows Margaux needs someone on the inside to go after Jack and Nolan looks for bank deposits, but finds nothing on Schaefer. Jack thinks someone probably spiked his orange juice. Nolan checks out the cameras at the bar and Emily notices it's the same man with Margaux at the courthouse. He blocks the camera angle and moves his glass. Emily finds where he lives and as she's at his apartment, he turns up. They fight and she manages to pull a gun on him, demanding Jack's blood sample. He gives it to her, but throws it in the air and runs away when she catches it.
Emily finds Ben and passes him the blood sample, the seal is still intact. He tells him to find some way to get it back into the lab and that it's got to be found there. Stevie can make sure it's found. The social worker, Tony (Joshua Pence) asks where Carl is and he's with his grandfather, but has doubts when Jack replies they're probably at the beach. Also asking if anyone in his family has problems with alcohol. Stevie says she does, being a recovering alcoholic and Jack pleads for Carl not to lose his father too, after already losing his mother. Tony then asks Nolan about Jack and he defends him saying Tony is trying to take children from their parents and asking where he was when his father kicked him out of the house, when he found him with another boy. Nolan wishes his father loved him like Jack loves Carl.
Margaux's henchy says he needs anoher place to stay and that Emily found him so he had to give her the blood sample. She tells him about Lyman and he thinks Emily killed him too. Oh yeah, she just goes round killing everyone. Margaux tells him she doesn't want his help anymore cos no one was supposed to get hurt, that's not who she is. He argues she's a LaMarchel and he won't see that name dragged through the mud. Emily is on the phone with Nolan as someone's tripped the security system, she walks inside and finds Victoria. She walked in through the beach and confronts her about not approving the Daniel memorial at the hospital. She says it wasn't her, she took the time out to vote for the proposal and she wouldn't jeopardize that after Daniel saved her life. She tells her that Margaux to stop the vendetta against Jack. She's still holding up the truce she has with Victoria.
Stevie asks Schaefer if the alcohol was on Jack's breath or could've been on his clothes from bartending. He doesn't know. He may have been anxious cos innocent people are when they're stopped by the police. The lab found the blood sample and she requests it to be admitted in evidence, citing precedence, but the judge holds her in contempt. No judge would do that so quickly, she did nothing wrong to be held in contempt. Stupid judge as Homer Simpson would say! David posts Stevie's bail and he felt he owed her after she tried to help him back then. She is sorry she couldn't do more for him but was also going through her own issues. She tells him he's got a chance to get to know Emily now and should take it, just as she has with Jack. Also adding that Emily needs her father even now.
Stevie tells them she believes Knowles must be the inside man and Nolan finds a list of papers that have contributed to the Judge's fund. All LaMarcel publications. Victoria brings Margaux a baby crib and other toys and breaks the news to the proposal being voted against. Margaux admits it was her who voted against it cos she didn't want to announce the pregnancy. It would cast a shadow over the baby and she can't let that happen. At the bar, Nolan brings over a bottle of wine to the judge saying she's got a secret admirer. He asks if would like a glass. but she prefers to stick to her water. Later Ben pulls her up cos someone complained of her cutting a corner at the bar. She tests positive when he gives her a breathalyser test, which shows .15, she was even more over the limit than Jack was. The courthouse calls her and Emily tells her there was acetone in her water, which was found in model glue, as Jack's orange was also laced with this. She wants her to drop the charges and let Jack's blood test be admitted, otherwise the LaMarchel bribes will be made public.
Stevie wants to take them to lunch to celebrate but Emily has something to do. David tells her to move on from this and stop the fighting. Emily doesn't think she can. She didn't start this, but David says she should finish this. She later speaks with Margaux outside the building and says she wants to put this behind them. She gives Margaux her word and also her real birth certificate so Margaux can use it how she wants. When she's standing hailing a cab, one comes out of nowhere and runs her over. At the hospital Emily brings her bag and Victoria is already there. Emily tells her she was calling a truce and the taxi came out of nowhere, it was an accident. Victoria tells her to get out and Emily has her certificate in her hand. Just as well she took it back.
Margaux says she lost the baby and Victoria will vow revenge on Emily again now as she tells her that Emily pushed her. Oh yeah, where's all the camera's now? See the revenge will never be over or the show would end, wonder if it will end after this season or not. Thus their truce will now be over. Have a feeling Victoria only liked Margaux and was 'sucking' up to her cos she just wanted Daniel's baby for herself.
Nolan asks if Louise wants to go to his funeral. She comes clean and tells him he doesn't have any secrets with her so she can't with him. Telling him they fought after Lyman was in his black laptop and he went over the edge. Also that it's too close to what happened to her father that's why she didn't tell Ben. Nolan thinks it's better to keep quiet. Tony meets Nolan at the bar and then notices his ring, he tells him it's a long story behind his marriage. He was moved by Nolan's defence of Jack. Emily is upset and tells David that s he tried to end it with Margaux.
Oh no I just thought, did David run Margaux over in the taxi, so Emily would be able to put it all behind her and in the past with Margaux gone. It's my brain working overtime again, especially since I got these random notions of grandeur! Ha. But the foreshadowing was there. David giving Carl the toy taxi. But wouldn't you think that Margaux with her millions would have her own driver!?! Also Stevie did tell him that Emily still needs him, maybe he thought he couldn't kill Victoria, but he could help Emily with Margaux. Anyway, just a thought, unless her henchman was behind it, cos that taxi had no intention of slowing down and he told her that she shouldn't stop the revenge with Emily for the sake of the family name. This would be one way for it to continue, if Emily was blamed.
Wish Margaux had got it though, she's just so, uh annoying, to put it mildly. Lying again now, it's no wonder she lost the baby, imagine the sort of mother she'd make, so much for wanting to clear Daniel's name. This will achieve it? Oh no Nolan, wrong time to have gotten married, meeting Tony now. At least Jack got Carl back and he and Stevie can get to be a proper family now.
