Paul calls an investigator to find out where the video feed came from. James walks in the door! Paul orders him to leave but James says this is his house. He insinuates that he'll go after Meg. They go round and round but James won't leave until Paul makes him a sandwich so Paul goes to the kitchen. Meg comes downstairs as Paul returns to the sitting room and says, "Eat it and leave!" James isn't around, throwing Paul. He covers by saying he is just sorry there was no tomato available. Meg wants to know how he knew she was hungry; he says it is because of their love, making her smile. As she eats, James peeks around the corner. Meg finishes her snack and Paul spots James. He tries to get Meg back upstairs but she wants to stay with him on the sofa. He holds her, keeping her turned away as James walks in and takes the other half of the sandwich!

Paul refuses but James brings up Meg's safety and health again. Paul gives in. James goes to the kitchen for another sandwich. Paul returns to Meg's side and locks the door. She asks why.

Brad and Katie arrive at WOAK, late, and Kim chastises them. She brings up plans for a Tahiti segment and Brad says they will dive right in and do the segment cold so they don't waste any more time.

They finish the segment. Brad gets a call from Leo, but doesn't recognize the voice. Leo says Liberty is in trouble in the woods and hangs up. Brad and Katie run for the door.

Liberty comes on strong with Parker and he isn't sure what to think about that. She angrily walks away when he questions her. She eats some more brownies and Parker tracks her down. She is calm and when he comes on to her, she says, "You lose!" She starts to sway and act even weirder and he walks away. Liberty gets dizzy and calls for Parker but he is gone. She collapses and Leo shows up! Brad and Katie arrive moments later, see Liberty with a torn dress and a cut on her face and ask what happened. All she can remember is that she was with Parker for a while. Brad jumps to conclusions and won't listen when Katie tells him to calm down. He tells Katie to get Liberty to the hospital and storms away.

Bonnie meets Derek at The Lakeview and asks about his business. He says they can't talk about it because Bonnie is Paul's lawyer and he has business with Paul. She says Paul isn't a client and then advises him not to drop his business with Paul yet. Derek says he is backing out because of the pollution and the real estate market, not because of the things she said, and asks her out.

Carly comes by Metro to check on things since the kids don't seem to need her. She and Henry have a drink and talk about their troubles. Henry is certain that Vienna isn't coming back from Switzerland and gets sad. Just then, Vienna walks in! She says she loves him and they kiss. Carly leaves. Vienna says she came to a realization in Switzerland - they can make this work with more help. She chatters on about hiring more help at Al's and Metro. Henry says that isn't necessary, thanks to Bonnie. Vienna can't believe he hired her. Bonnie arrives and the two begin fighting! Henry interrupts and says they can come to an agreement. Vienna says there is no agreement; Bonnie agrees. "I was safer with the criminals!" she exclaims and leaves. Henry angrily asks Vienna why she doesn't believe in him. He says Bonnie is an employee but Vienna won't listen. Henry gives in and says it is enough that she is back. He tells her to forget about Bonnie because they will be fine without her, even if they will be working more hours. Vienna begins having second thoughts. They kiss.

Parker arrives home shortly after Carly. She asks about the picnic but Parker won't talk about it. Brad storms into the house and barges upstairs. Carly tries to stop him but he is too strong. He jumps Parker and accuses him of raping Libs! Brad grabs the boy again and drags him out the door with Carly close on his heels.

Jack surprises Janet at the farm and asks her to move in with him! She is thrown and asks what happened to their no strings arrangement. He says plans have changed but says if she isn't sure, they don't have to. She says she wants to live with him but they have to consider the kids! He says the kids have to realize that adults have different rules than kids. She grabs the real estate section. Jack ignores a call from Carly. Shortly after, Carly runs in the door and angrily asks why he hasn't answered any of her calls. She tells them about the apparent rape and Brad's angry attack. Janet runs out the door. Carly says they have to get to Parker; she and Jack head for the police station.

Katie gets Liberty to the hospital. Janet arrives; Katie tells her what they know, which isn't much. Liberty hugs Janet. The nurse comes over and asks Libs to come with her. Libs doesn't want to and starts to cry. Katie and Janet pace. Janet blames herself for defending Parker and for staying in town. Katie tries to calm her down.

Brad shoves Parker into the police station and tells Dallas to arrest him! Jack and Carly arrive but Jack insists on talking to Parker before anything more happens. In the interrogation room, Parker tells Jack how Liberty was acting. He says he tried to take care of her and didn't see her drinking or doing drugs. He swears he left because he was angry with Liberty because of the way she was acting. Jack takes Parker back to the main room and tells Brad that Parker didn't do anything wrong. Brad won't listen to him.
