Julia arrives at the Montgomery home looking for her house keys. She is hoping that Jack picked them up by mistake. He did. Julia asks about Greenlee; there is no news. Jack tells Julia about Lily, who is not doing well at all, and says he doesn't know what has happened to throw her so badly. Julia asks to see her. Upstairs, Lily is still counting and rocking in her room. Lily remembers the bad times with Jonathan and how Jack tried to protect her. She remembers the attack and then remembers thinking Aidan was her boyfriend. All of those memories morph into the memory of Richie talking about murder. Julia comes in but Jack stays back to let her work. Julia talks for a while but Lily doesn't respond to her at all. Julia asks her to do an exercise with her. She starts a list about safe things and scary things and starts with the safe things - her family and friends. Lily just keeps rocking. Julia brings up her home and her room. Then she asks about things that scare Lily. "Murder," Lily says. Jack and Julia wonder what that means. Lily continues rocking and begins the scream, "No," over and over.
At conFusion, Jack is telling Julia all about Greenlee's brush with the law when she dressed up in cornrows and tattoos. They sit down and over a drink talk about the newfound love between Aidan and Greenlee. This makes Jack think about his own "true love" and Jack becomes maudlin. Julia turns the conversation back to kids and entertains Jack with stories about Kathy. He asks about her romantic interests and Julia admits she doesn't have romance in her life. She says maybe someday. Both decide to call it a night and return to their families.
Jack returns home and calls out for Lily. She is shaking in a corner. No matter what Jack tries, he can't get through to her and she just keeps rocking back and forth.
Jack sees Julia. She doesn't realize it is him and goes off on him about interrupting her. She apologizes and asks about Greenlee. Jack updates her and asks for Greens' medical records for Aidan's search. Julia agrees to check in it. A few minutes later, Julia tells Jack she can bring him the records on her way home from work. He leaves.
At New Beginnings, Jack tells Erica she just made things much worse for Greenlee. Erica doesn't believe that and tells Jack flashing Greenlee's picture on television could help them find her faster! Erica pleads with him to understand she had Greenlee's best interests at heart but Jack can't get past the fake commitment papers. When Erica keeps talking about their relationship and fixing things Jack becomes even more angry and says she needs to stop using Greenlee to get to him! He brings up the forged papers and Erica apologizes, saying she would change things if she could. Since she can't take back what she did, she asks how she can make things right. Jack suggests Erica get Kendall on her show to confess to the world that she set up Greenlee! Upset, Jack wonders if he'll ever see Greenlee again. Erica says they should work together to bring Greens home. Jack tells her there is no "we" between them but she refuses to believe him. "I don't love you anymore," he says and walks away. Erica stands alone on the set for several minutes. The lights are shut down. She goes to a table, pulls her phone from her bag and calls Kendall. The call isn't answered.
Jack and Aidan are meeting at the PI office. He tells Jack about Sylvester, certain that Greenlee is somewhere on the property. Lily calls and asks Jack for the family photo albums. Jack tells her where to find them and then gets nervous when Lily says Erica wants the pictures for the show! Jack leaves. A while later Tad arrives. Aidan shows him the map and where he found Greenlee's things. Tad puts another post-it on the board noting where Zach's car was found. He suggests that they must have missed something in the woods. "Maybe the running Greenlee tripped over Zach," Tad says, believing they could be together somewhere near the house. They talk through where Zach and Greenlee could have wound up and both come to the same conclusion: Sylvester's house. Tad brings up the person Sylvester said he saw and they realize they may not just be looking for Zach and Greenlee. They may be looking for Zach, Greenlee and the real driver!
Jack arrives at New Beginnings just as Erica finishes taping her show. Lily asks about the surprise and Pam pipes up that they have great pictures of Greenlee. Jack refuses to allow Erica to use the pictures, believing that this is another attempt by Erica to ruin Greenlee's reputation! Erica promises she isn't trying to hurt Greenlee but Jack won't listen. Pam walks by, telling them the show is back on in a few seconds. Jack begs her not to air the segment. Erica goes on the air anyway. She talks about Zach being missing and asks for help. Then she holds up a picture of Greenlee, telling the viewers that she is missing, too. Erica asks the viewers to contact the show if they have seen anything. Jack is shocked. When she is done, Erica asks if he sees what she was trying to do now. Jack says she just made matters worse.
Erica arrives at Jack's as he hangs up the phone from giving Greenlee's description to a search agency. Erica asks where he was during Thanksgiving, Jack says he never intended to go and then tells Erica she can leave. She isn't sure what to think of that, especially when Jack quickly turns back to the phone and continues his calls for help for Greenlee. Erica tells him they need to rely on one another and offers to help; Jack can't believe her. "You wanted my daughter locked up but Kendall beat you to the punch," he says and shows her the forged documents that Joe gave him. He turns back to the phone but Erica grabs it from him and orders him to listen to her! She tells him she wants to make things right but Jack won't listen to her. "It's over," he says, "You and I are finished!" Erica can't believe what he is saying and tells Jack this is just another argument that they need to get over. Jack listens to her but nothing she says - not even another marriage proposal! - changes his mind. "Being married won't make a bit of difference," Jack says and tells her that she won't get her way this time around. She points out all the times she has forgiven him for mistakes - like losing custody of Bianca. Jack points out that the "mistakes" he has made all stem from not going along with Erica's plans. She thinks this is some sort of trick to make her beg him to come back. Sadly, Jack tells Erica that he is tired of her thinking of no one but herself and says he isn't Mona and he doesn't have an endless supply of love for her. He tells her that he is done with her self-centered actions. Erica can't believe what she is hearing and tells him to tell her he doesn't love her. Jack says he doesn't love her but she won't believe him. Jack opens the door, asking her to leave. She refuses to leave so Jack walks out the door himself!
At The Comeback, Derek tells everyone that they may have found the car that hit Zach. Before he can give a lot of details about the blood on the car, Julia stops him and reminds him there are children around. Derek gives the G-rated version of events and says they haven't been able to type the blood. Across the room, Colby asks JR where little A is and he tells her about the Lavery family dinner. Joe captures everyone's attention and begins the Thanksgiving prayer. Everyone becomes quiet and then the feast begins. After the prayer, Opal begins the annual tradition of telling what she is thankful for. Krystal and Colby join in and so does Julia. Everyone joins in; Adam stops them all when he says he is thankful for JR and a year's worth of sobriety. JR leaves the table; Adam follows him and they have a heated exchange about drinking at the bar. Jack watches them. Opal turns to Jack and asks about Greenlee. She tells him that things will work out; Jack hopes so. She turns the subject to Erica but Jack receives a phone call. He ignores the call, though. Joe pulls Jack aside and tells him about Erica's involvement in Greenlee's commitment. Jack is shocked to learn that Erica forged the document! Meanwhile, Tad and Hannah talk about the mistakes they've made with love in the past; Tad wonders what Krystal will do about Adam. JR is alone in the sea of people, trying to remember anything from the night before. Derek receives a call from the forensics department and learns that it is Zach's blood in JR's car!
Derek and the search crew are scouring the woods around the crash site. Jack arrives and argues with Derek, telling him that they need to be really careful so that Greenlee - if she's out there, too - won't be hurt. Though he doesn't want them there, Aidan and Jack join the search party trying to find Zach and Greenlee. Kendall and Ryan arrive and join in the search efforts. Ryan tries to keep Kendall's spirits up. She tells Ryan about the Thanksgiving dinner she had planned, wonders if Ian will grow up to be like Zach and begins to cry. "Ian is coming home today and his daddy is not there," she says, "this is wrong. This is wrong!" Derek comes over and tells them the weather is turning and they have to bring the search dogs back. Kendall is worried but Derek assures her the human searchers will continue. Ryan convinces Kendall to come with him back to the hospital. A while later, Derek gets a call from another detective who says they found blood on the seat of a car!
