When Dusty returns to Janet's hotel room, he finds Jack waiting for him. Jack tells him to get out. Dusty thinks he's going to walk out on Janet and surmises he knows everything. Jack rants at him about how much his marriage means to him. When Janet calls Dusty to tell him she's on the way over, he asks her to meet him at a diner instead. Dusty tells Jack that he's better for Janet than he is. Jack finds that impossible to believe. "I'm in love with your wife," Dusty claims as Janet walks in and sees them together.
Jack and Janet make small talk at the farm. Janet is nervous about Liberty's immune system. Jack promises she'll pull through and Janet comments how nice it is to be with him. She thinks they will get used to one another again. She gives him a small kiss before leaving for the hospital.
Janet meets Jack in Old Town and informs him of the study in Minnesota and how Liberty can be treated immediately. She reminds him he can't go because of his chicken pox. Jack assures her everything will be fine. She still doesn't want to give up on the baby and kisses him good-bye.
Carly heads to fashions for retail shopping therapy. While she's trying on clothes, she spies Jack and Janet talking. After seeing them kiss, she begins shaking and accidentally falls over! After knocking everything over, she tells the clerk she'll pay for the dress she's wearing later and runs out. Jack enters and the attendant tells him that Carly left wearing the dress!
A frustrated Carly returns home and begins talking to herself. She is upset for making a fool of herself. She has a vision of Jack and Janet celebrating their new baby's first birthday together. Her nightmare includes her arriving drunk and Jack telling her to go away and not come back! After she snaps out of it, she calls Craig and tells him she's ready to talk about New York!
Jack arrives at Carly's and asks her about the dress. She explains it was a misunderstanding and then shocks him with the news that she is moving to New York! Jack doesn't want to lose the kids, but Carly reminds him that he made promises to her that he can't keep and it is torturing her. Jack doesn't want her to leave, so she seductively asks him to help her unzip her dress so it can be returned! He moves in close and begins to unzip the dress. The sexual tension is undeniable and they begin to kiss. Jack eventually pulls away and yells that he can't betray Janet. Carly sarcastically laughs and informs him that his faith-driven wife has been cheating on him with Dusty!
At the hospital, Jack calls Liberty to tell her he's sending her a DVD player. Dusty runs into Jack in the corridor. Since Jack has never had chicken pox, he can't go into Liberty's room so he sends Dusty in with the DVD player.
Jack catches Carly before she can walk into Yo's. He apologizes for the whole pregnancy thing and claims it is still in the consideration stage. She can't believe he would seriously consider having a child with Janet just to get a donor. He can't think of an argument against it. She thinks he should think this over and points out what an enormous responsibility a child is. He wishes Brad was still around. She's sure he'll do the right thing.
Janet goes home. She tells Jack how exhausted she is. He holds her and tells her they should have a baby. She thanks him. They go upstairs. As they sit on the bed, they talk about how messed up things have been between them. She says that what they are about to do is the greatest act of love possible.
Outside of the farm house, Janet walks in on Carly before she can explain Janet's affair to Jack. Janet tells her this isn't a good time. Liberty is back in the hospital and might have chicken pox. She explains that they are now planning to have a baby for a bone marrow match. Carly stutters, glares, squints and boggles before declaring she has to go. Once she's gone, Jack asks Janet why she did that. They bicker but she insists there is nothing to argue about. He wonders where the church would stand on this. She points out that a child is a huge commitment and suggests that he would do anything to save Liberty except make a commitment to her. She doesn't know what else to do. He asks her to let him think about it.
