Thursday, January 04 2007: Henry Aids Simon

Carly opens the door to get the morning paper. On the front cover she reads, "Suspected Jewel Thief Evades Capture." Once inside, she begins reading the piece, but stops when she notices Parker coming downstairs. She asks him to take out the trash for her. As he's taking out the trash, he notices a cop sitting in an unmarked car at the end of the driveway. Once back inside, he asks her if she knows there's a cop sitting outside, and then he asks her why they're begin watched. Before answering, she goes outside to discover that there is indeed a police car outside.

Going back inside, she begins to explain Simon being in trouble to Parker, but the phone rings. She answers to find Henry on the other end. She yells at him for what he done calling him a lousy friend and a creep. He says he's on her side, and he's trying to help her, but she hangs up on him telling him not to call her again. When Parker asks who was on the phone, she says just someone she use to do business with. He asks if she thinks Simon will show up. She says he's gone for a very long time. Henry calls back asking for a chance to explain, but she says she's hanging up. Before she can hang up, he mentions Meme (the vase that got broke at the apartment). Capturing her attention, she asks how he knew about that. He says he knows when it broke she was devastated. He goes on to say he stumbled across another vase he thought she would be interested, but he can't deliver it in person. He asks if she'll meet him at Java. He says he'll bring her a brochure so she can use it to get in contact with the manufacturer. She says she'd like that very much, because the place isn't the same without it. She asks again if he wants her to meet him at Java. He confirms, saying as quickly as possible, because it's a much sought after item and he'd hate for her to miss out. She agrees to meet with him.

After hanging up the phone, Henry informs Simon that it worked this time; she didn't hang up. Before he heads to Java to meet her, Simon asks if he has the phones. Henry confirms, handing him the phones saying he won't have to worry about rollover charges or wire-tapping.

Wednesday, January 03 2007: Craig Makes a Shocking Confession!

Jack confronts Carly about finding her earring in Simon's room. She denies being there. "Then why did I find your earring in his room?" "I don't know," she replies. When he demands she stop lying to him, she asks if she can have the earring back. He refuses to return it, saying it's evidence. "Of what?" she inquires. "A crime," he answers. When he accuses her of warning Simon about the arrest warrant, she tells him to think whatever he wants to think. He reminds her that she broke the law, defining it as aiding and abetting.

A little while later, he threatens to haul her down to the station if she doesn't tell him where Simon is. She says she doesn't know where Simon is. He says it's sad, because he can't tell if she's lying to him anymore or not. "You've gotten too good at it. I guess practice makes perfect," he concludes. She asks him why he told her he was about to make an arrest if he didn't trust her. He says he did trust her, because she told him she was through with Simon and was going to focus on her kids--their kids. He goes on to say he respected that, and that's why he told her about the arrest warrant. She retorts that he only done it to test her. He says no, he done it because he wanted her to know why he asked her to give him up. He says he wanted to prove to her that breaking it off was worth it, and she wouldn't have been implicated. "But now, guess what? Now you are," he adds, shocking her. In an attempt to defend herself, she says she wasn't trying to aid or abet. She says it was instinct, and she didn't want to hurt him (Jack) or the case. He stops her saying he doesn't want to hear it, not if she wants to do herself any good. When she asks if he's going to arrest her, Parker approaches asking if they're fighting. She says they're not, then asks if he's ready to go home. Jack turns to Parker asking if he can tag along too.

Carly, Parker and Jack arrive at Carly's place. Parker asks them how long they're going to go without talking to each other. Carly tells him their fine. After Parker leaves the room, Carly confronts Jack about lying to her son. He says he didn't lie to him. He goes on to warn her about Simon. He tells her Simon takes what he takes and doesn't give her anything in return. "That's not true! He loves me, Jack, and I love him!" She apologies, saying she shouldn't have blurted out like that. He tells her to say it again. "I love him," she repeats. He informs her that he was using her for information, and the man she thinks she loves just ruined her. She says she hopes he's far away and never comes back. Jack's phone rings. "You spotted him? Where?" he asks.

After hanging up the phone, Carly tells Jack she needs to know if he's going to arrest her so she can make arrangements for the kids. He says he's not going to arrest her tonight.

After Jack leaves, Parker comes down asking what's going on. He says he heard them fighting about Simon. She tells him that there's a warrant out for Simon's arrest, and they haven't been able to find him yet. "What did he do?" Parker inquires. "He made a terrible mistake, Parker. We both did," she answers.

Outside Carly's place, Jack is on the phone. He orders that Carly's phone be tapped, and he says he wants 24-hour surveillance outside of her house. "Starting now," he finishes.
