Meg tells Paul she's continuing her plans to divorce him and will only let him have limited supervised visitation with Eliza. Paul blows up and Meg loses it, telling him she really loves Dusty, and storms out. Meg and Dusty instinctively blame Paul for kidnapping Eliza and ask Barbara to call him. Paul ignores Barbara's call and sneaks into Josie's car with Eliza, startling her, as she was on her way out of Oakdale having just left Dusty a goodbye letter. By insinuating he has a weapon, Josie's compelled to drive Paul out of town. Paul apologizes for forcing Josie to be his accomplice. Paul realizes it's time to stop running. He agrees to bring Eliza home before he's caught, but doesn't want Josie to go with him. He gives her all the money he has and tells her to go someplace where she can start over.

Josie ends up speaking on Paul's behalf at the sentencing. The judge gives Paul a suspended sentence and supervised visitation of Eliza. Josie goes to Fairwinds to check on Paul after the hearing. Josie decides to leave town. Craig tells Lily that Carly lied to her about Midnight Sun being her idea; it was his. Lily angrily confronts Carly over her betrayal, and Carly begs for her forgiveness.

They are forced to admit Casey was the last person to have the drugs and when Margo goes home, she finds Casey's backpack and the drugs. Casey is devastated about how everything looks when Alison arrives and Casey accuses her of working with Matt to entrap him. Casey tells Margo that Matt planted the pills she's found.

Later, they are all shocked by the news that it was Matt's car that hit Elwood. When Margo wants to bring him in for questioning, Matt is nowhere to be found. Casey tells Alison he wants a "do over," but she's unwilling unless he settles things with Jade. Alison is waylaid at the hospital by Mark Vero, who reveals he's still on drugs and is the culprit. He gets her to leave with him by threatening to hurt Casey. He takes her to the warehouse where she was to have met Matt, and he prepares to drug her and frame Matt. Meanwhile, Luke and Noah are suspicious of Kevin's squirrelly behavior. Casey tells them his mother no longer suspects Matt, and they start to realize Kevin was one of the only people who knew about Elwood's meeting at the bridge and therefore is a suspect. They follow Kevin and hear him talking to Mark and their suspicions are confirmed. They convince Kevin what Mark is doing is wrong and it's time to turn himself in. They all head to the warehouse. Mark is about to give Alison a lethal dose of drugs when Matt arrives, having gotten Alison's message, and scares him off. Brad and Katie talk at cross purposes about babies — Brad thinks adoption is the way to go until Katie eventually tells him that Vienna has offered to be their surrogate mother. Brad's shocked at first, but by the end of the day, they're all OK with the idea. Later, Katie reveals to Vienna that the doctor told her that her eggs are not viable. Vienna offers to skip the process of finding an egg donor by volunteering herself. Henry doesn't want Vienna having a child with another man. He storms off. Meg tells Paul he's free to have whatever relationships he wants. She leaves, and Emily tells him it means she wants permission to sleep with Dusty.

When Carly realizes something is up, Craig uses Parker's computer to find out what they're up to, and Craig and Carly head out after them. When they get to the judge's chambers, Parker explains to the judge that he wants to marry Liberty so he'll be able to become emancipated and protect his trust fund from Carly. Carly and Craig arrive and Carly must listen as Parker portrays her in a bad light. Carly's outburst convinces the judge that Parker is right and he agrees to marry them.

Parker gets a call from the DA saying Jack will put Parker on trial for robbery. Jack really just wants Parker to learn a lesson and made a pre-arrangement with the DA. Craig says Parker didn't steal the money, but rather Craig lent it to him. Jack asks Parker to tell the truth, but Parker doesn't and the DA drops the case. Jack walks in on Carly and Craig in bed and storms out. Janet accuses him of caring too much about Carly. Noah, Luke and Lily decide to expose housing discrimination toward the gay community. After they appear on WOAK, hate mail arrives at Lily's front door. Undeterred, Luke organizes a fundraiser at Metro to support gay and lesbian rights. Noah goes with Luke when he tells Holden and Lily, who are both supportive. Holden, however, is also concerned for their safety, but comes to agree with Lily that they all need to do this together as a family. At the fundraiser, Luke gives a speech honoring his mother, then goes to the parking lot to retrieve some research and is hit by a car. A mystery man approaches to check his pulse and carry him to the hospital, leaving a note on Luke with contact information. At the hospital, Luke is startled to see Damian. Holden and Lily return and are surprised to see Damian back in town and by Luke's bed. Lily tells Damian he is at the heart of most of her painful memories and that he's not welcome. Damian tells himself he's not leaving town until he gets what he wants.

March 30, 2009 to April 3, 2009: Janet tells Carly that she had convinced Jack to make peace in time for Parker's hearing, but the fact that Jack found her in bed with Craig wrecked everything. Meanwhile, Craig goes to Parker and Liberty and tells them he's on their side, but warns Parker not to go through with his plans regarding the trust fund just because Parker's mad at his parents. Jack finds Carly at home; he reaches out to her and they go to the hearing together. At the hearing, Jack defends Carly when the judge mentions her past crimes. The judge does not grant Parker emancipation or control of his money, but lets him appoint a new trustee — Craig. Jack is furious that Craig will have control over their son and he blames Carly. Later, as Craig officially becomes trustee of Parker's trust, Parker and Liberty find an apartment. But when Parker asks Craig for money, Craig refuses. Carly says Parker and Liberty can live in Milltown and they have no choice but to agree. Carly is very grateful to Craig and they drink a toast to trust. Craig brings Liberty to a college campus to hint at the opportunities she'd be missing if she continues on her current path. Holden and Lily try to find out who sideswiped Luke. Holden tells Margo he's sure Damian arranged it in order to play the hero. Damian gets Kim to agree to shoot some PSAs, which he will pay for, and gets Noah and Luke to show up at WOAK.

Meg returns home and finds the social worker allowing Paul to take the baby away. Meg goes to Fairwinds to confront a cold Paul. He humiliates her, making her strip naked. He leads her to ask him to make love to her, but he declines, telling her to save it for Dusty. Paul calls Meg because Eliza is sick. Meg rushes over and says they have to take her to the hospital.

Luke blames Damian for sending Noah away and storms out when Damian denies it. Damian tells Lily he's going to Europe to get to the bottom of the business with the rings and will stop in Lisbon to find Noah. Lily warns him not to let her down. After he goes, she calls Luke and he comes home. Luke admits he feels terrible that Noah left without even calling. Noah, however, is tied up in a storage locker by Zac and Zoe. Meg proposes that she and Paul reconcile and live together with Eliza. Paul agrees on one condition: that she not see anyone else ever. Meg says "fine" and goes to tell Dusty. Dusty can't believe she's willing to live with Paul. Meg says it will be just until she figures out how to get Paul away from her and Eliza forever. Later, Lucy promises Dusty she won't involve him in her business anymore and there's only one more shipment. Dusty is confronted by Fredo and another thug, who beat him up. Casey and Jade wind up doing community service together.

April 20, 2009 to April 24, 2009: Noah is held captive by Zac and Zoe, who sent a fake text message meant to pacify Luke. Holden, Luke and Lily find out that Noah has been kidnapped. Margo brings Luke, Holden and Lily aside and tells them not to pay the ransom specified in the note since that could endanger Noah more. Luke gets a text from "Noah" telling him he's at a storage facility. Luke goes there and falls into Zac and Zoe's trap and is tied up with Noah. Lily and Holden return home; they can't get in touch with Luke, but find a note that says the kidnappers have him, too. Scared Lily wants to pay the ransom to get Luke back, but Holden and Lily argue over how to handle the kidnapping. Lisa proves that someone broke into Damian's room and might have taken stationery on which to write a ransom note. Lily shows Damian the ransom note telling her where to drop off the money — The Cloisters. Damian shows her the clipping he got from Lisa and explains his theory that this woman is somehow connected to the kidnappers. Damian gets her to agree to dress as the picture of the murdered woman, Anna Pinnarossa, and try to smoke out the kidnappers. He wants her to make the kidnapper follow her and he'll be hiding to grab whoever it is. Lily goes, but Holden comes to make peace with Damian and ends up delaying him. Damian admits he's sent Lily to smoke out the kidnappers. Lily makes the drop and Zoe retrieves it. Zac opens the package and sees it's not money but a Pisces pendant. Zoe spots Lily dressed as her mother and follows. But Holden, coming after Lily interrupts and Zoe realizes she's been fooled, runs off after Luke and Noah. They see a framed photo of Zoe with her mother. They knock the photo down and use the shards to cut themselves loose. They are about to escape when Zac and Zoe return. Zac shoots Noah in the arm and they get tied up again. Zoe says she wants them punished for desecrating the memory of her mother and Zac agrees Lily needs to be eliminated because she saw Zoe. Dusty goes with Lucy, and Cesar shows them that there are now guns in the crates where she's smuggling her medicine. Dusty tells Cesar to take out the guns, send out the shipment and tell no one that Lucy knew about it. Cesar agrees. But later, while he's on the docks, someone kills him. Lucy asks Dusty how can she repay him, and he says all he wants is help getting Johnny back. Jack tells Parker that Liberty wants an annulment. Janet tells Jack she doesn't want Parker near her daughter. Brad suggests they have a genetic test done on the baby and Katie thinks that's a good idea. They go to ask Vienna, who says no, it's too dangerous, but Henry says yes. Vienna wonders what Henry has done. But Henry says it's a good thing because if they find out the baby isn't Brad's from a doctor, then Henry and Vienna can plead ignorance. But the truth will be known — Vienna is carrying Henry's child, not Brad's.

April 27, 2009 to May 1, 2009: Noah attacks Zoe, and her screams attract the attention of Zac, who's outside holding Damian at gunpoint.

Craig tells Jack that Carly had nothing to do with anything so she's able to return to her family. A guilty Lucy almost admits that she's the one responsible for illegal exporting, but Dusty stops her. Lucinda tells Emily the Intruder is going digital and introduces her to Hunter, her new partner. Emily is furious and snubs Hunter, who eagerly tries to convince her that he knows what he's doing. Brad, Katie, Henry and Vienna meet at the hospital to hear the results of the DNA test.

Luke goes to Damian, who admits that he does have a secret operation. During a parenting session, Katie lets Henry hold the BotBaby — a doll that simulates a baby so expecting couples can practice caring for it. Henry runs off with it. Katie freaks out and wonders if Henry will kidnap the real baby. Vienna finds Henry at home, where he finally relinquishes the doll but states that he will not give up their child. Brad and Katie reveal they know the baby's not Brad's child. Despite Vienna and Henry's apologies, Brad and Katie tell them they no longer want the child and that they never want to see them.

Having been given legal custody of Johnny, Craig agrees to let Dusty stay in contact with the boy. Meg, desperate to be with Eliza, offers to stay with Paul and be his wife again. He's wary but insists she be his wife in soul and body or not at all. Meg's anguished to leave Eliza, but Holden insists her staying with Paul will make him seem less threatening during a custody hearing. Parker quits school.

Damian encourages Meg to keep fighting for her daughter. With Eliza in tow, Paul stops at a farmers market on his way out of town. He's stunned to see Rosanna is working there. She tells Paul her story. When she woke up from the coma, she realized Paul was with Meg; Carly was with Craig; so she decided she couldn't go back to Oakdale. The recession and a crooked investor wiped out all her money. Now she works at a cooperative farm, living a simple life.

May 25, 2009 to May 29, 2009: Paul goes to Rosanna and pleads with her to let him and Eliza stay with her for a little while and convinces her to ask Edna. Edna agrees to let him and Eliza stay because Rosanna vouches for him. Rosanna warns Paul to behave and not ruin the new life she's made for herself. Edna e-mails Meg that she has information on Eliza's whereabouts. Rosanna questions Paul's motives, thinking he took Eliza because he's spiteful and jealous of Meg. She begs him to reconsider. Paul is moved enough to call Meg, but Damian answers her phone and Paul is not happy. Casey finds out Alison is getting an award at graduation and plans a celebratory dinner with family.
