An Invitation To Dinner...

At the farm, Emma and Janet get on one another's nerves as they both try to cook Thanksgiving dinner their way. Luke arrives; so do Jack and Sage.

Luke reaches into the bag and takes out a beer! Emma and Janet get back to their cooking duties; Jack kisses Janet, upsetting Sage. Holden returns and asks Jack to open a few cans. Meg asks Sage to watch over Ethan for a bit. Luke comes back inside, drinking alcohol from a coffee mug. Lily arrives with Lucinda and the girls, Brian comes in, too.

Noah mentions seeing Holden at Java, which upsets Luke. Faith comes outside and hugs Noah. She takes Noah inside. Brian asks if he can help and Lucinda gives him some cans to open, too.

Back at the farm, Holden asks Noah to give Luke some time. Emma asks the men to go after the Hubbard Squash. Brian asks about the squash and Lucinda tells him about the traditional hacking of the squash. Meg and Paul come in as Janet returns with Carly. Emma welcomes her. Jack says the boys and Libs are eating with Brad and Katie at Tom and Margo's. Sage is thrilled to see Carly. Holden and the boys arrive with the squash and saw it apart.

Sage goes to the porch where Jack and Janet are sitting alone. She asks if Janet really invited Carly; she says she did and Sage thanks her. She apologizes for all the bad things she has done and Janet forgives her. Jack hugs her; Carly watches from the kitchen. As Noah is leaving, Luke thanks him for coming by. Noah asks what is going on with Brian; Luke says he should ask Brian. Brian comes outside and says he and Lucinda are leaving. Noah leaves. Brian brings up Luke's drinking but Luke won't talk to him; Brian tells him to get breath mints before his family finds out. Luke says Brian better keep his secret or he'll be sorry! He returns inside.

Meg Walks Out!

Lily arrives at home; Holden is there and she tells him about her run-in with Dusty at Worldwide. She says Dusty doesn't have to impact their future, even though he has decided to stay in Oakdale. Holden angrily walks out. Lily is watching for Holden when Faith comes downstairs and asks what is going on. She says she heard them and Lily sadly tells her that they are working on their relationship. Faith asks if Lily is going back to Dusty; Lily says she is fighting for her marriage and tells Faith that she will keep fighting.

Dusty's Alive!

Faith, Natalie and Ethan decide to play outside. When they are alone in the house, Holden makes a move on Lily but she pulls back. "If we're going to make love, it isn't going to be about Carly," she says! Holden says he was just trying to help Carly understand and points out that Lily kept a box of mementos from Dusty! Lily says Dusty isn't a threat to them but Holden won't listen. Faith returns and asks for ice cream. She catches on to her parents' stress and asks what is wrong. Holden offers to drive them for ice cream but Lily stays at home.

Holden and the kids return with ice cream but Lily isn't there. Faith asks if they are fighting again. Holden says they disagreed but weren't fighting. Faith asks if this is a real reunion. Holden tells her that they are trying but there is a lot to work through. Lily returns and says she went for a drive to clear her head. Holden apologizes for talking to Carly and Lily admits she went to see Carly. Holden can't believe she did that. Lily says Carly agreed to keep her distance and is upset when Holden seems to be upset about it. He says they should have discussed it first! "Do you have a problem with what I told her?" she asks. She brings up the box of Dusty's things and says she kept everything because she wasn't over him. She asks him to think about how he would have felt if Dusty hadn't died and kept showing up everywhere. She asks if Carly can be as dead to him as Dusty is to her! He says he can shut her out.

Decisions, Decisions, Decisions!

Holden and Lily return home with the kids, who suggest a cook out that night. Lily and Holden agree and send the kids off to get cleaned up. Faith stays behind and asks if they are really getting back together. Holden says they are trying. "You really have to try," Faith says quietly and goes upstairs. Holden and Lily agree to be very careful about how much they tell the kids. Holden asks about Mike. Lily says with the development on hold, he is going to return to Europe and she is fine with that. Lily asks about Carly and Holden says she is happy that they are trying again. They kiss.

Very Few Answers!

Lily, Holden and Aaron get the party ready at Lily's house. Emma arrives with the girls. Mike arrives and says Paul is safe and he's put up all kinds of safety measures at the job site. He leaves so the family can spend time together. Aaron catches Holden watching Mike and Lily and asks what is going on between then. Holden says he is happy for Lily but he obviously isn't. Lily comes back inside as Faith asks if they can go to the farm. Lily agrees after Emma notes that she needs some rest. Holden says he'll go so she can invite Mike back. Lily says she doesn't want Mike! She says she wants a shower and says he can stay if he'd like to clean up, too. He agrees to stick around. She goes upstairs to clean up. Holden follows a while later and is grabbing some clothes from his old drawer when Lily comes out of the shower wearing only a towel. She is uncomfortable but also drawn to him again. Holden says he can use another bath but Lily tells him to use hers. She lies down as he goes inside. When he returns, she is asleep. He is about to leave when Lily reaches out and asks him not to go! She invites him to lie down with her and they kiss. "I'm so happy you're home," she says and they make love!

Emma gets the kids back to the farm. Faith asks Aaron if Alison is pregnant yet. He says no. The girls take Ethan upstairs. Emma questions Aaron about his marriage. She says marriage is a huge commitment and a lot of pressure. She says having kids immediately may be more pressure than he and Alison can take. Allie arrives as the kids are sitting down to have cookies. She and Aaron go upstairs and the kiddos giggle.

Rescues and Explosions!

Aaron and Alison arrive at the farm. They are upset because no one called to give them the news. Emma says she didn't want to spoil their honeymoon; Aaron says they would have come home immediately. Faith comes downstairs and asks if Ethan is dead. Aaron reassures her that Ethan will be fine. A while later, a worker calls and says they are trying the rescue again.

At the hospital, Chris checks over Ethan and says he'll be fine. Holden and Lily call home while Aaron and Alison stay with the kiddo. Alison realizes Ethan isn't breathing! Chris acts quickly and brings Ethan back. He beats himself up about it but Aaron and Alison both tell him that it's all okay now. Holden and Lily bring Faith in.
