Why Do You Care, Grandpa?

Alison runs into Luke in Old Town and asks how he is. He gets snippy and says she isn't a real nurse and should back off! He gets dizzy and calls her a drama queen. Alison realizes he is drunk and asks what he is doing. Luke tells her to stop acting like Noah and Brian! Allie says Noah and Brian have every right to care about him. Luke flashes back to the kiss and says Brian cares too much. He starts to walk away but Alison stops him and says he has to get checked out because of the dizzy spell. She asks him to come to the hospital with her and promises to make the visit confidential. Luke gives in and says he needs time to wash up. Alison calls Casey and asks him to meet them at Memorial.

Over breakfast, Tom tells Casey that he has two weeks to get a legitimate job or find a new place to live! Casey says he can't find a real job within two weeks but Tom sticks to his guns and leaves.

Casey, Luke and Alison get to the hospital. Allie sees a resident and pushes Casey and Luke into the exam room. She convinces the resident to look Luke over and they go inside. Luke insists he is fine and doesn’t need an exam; Casey leaves for the cafeteria – and runs right into Lily! He covers, saying he is there for a job interview but Lily thinks he is acting strangely. He gets rid of her and goes back inside. Worried, Luke says he has to leave. Casey checks the hall, doesn't see anyone and says the coast is clear.

Lily returns to Lucinda's room and tells them about the Casey sighting. The doctor finally arrives and when Brian speaks for Lucinda she kicks him out! Lily follows him into the hall and says Lucinda is just afraid and he shouldn't take this personally. He says he wants to know everything there is to know about Lucinda. Brian tells her to go back to Lucinda. He runs into Luke, notices how ill he seems but Luke brushes him off. Alison and the resident tell Brian what is going on and he tells Luke to get help unless he wants Lily to find out! Luke angrily tells Brian to stop harassing his friends but Brian won't back down. Luke agrees to finish the examination. Casey and Alison leave; Brian goes inside with Luke. The doctor says Luke needs blood work and Brian says he will get it. Luke angrily says he has no right; the doctor leaves and Luke blames Brian for his drinking! He asks if Brian is trying to make out with him again and Brian says he is wrong about what happened that night. "I was drunk, not unconscious," Luke says. Brian gives him money for a hotel and tells Luke to sleep off his binge before going home. He leaves.

Brian goes to Lily's to see Lucinda and says he will always stand by her. She apologizes for her earlier actions. Brian says he has to pick up some things at The Lakeview and leaves. Lily returns and Lucinda says she knew her life couldn't be this good for long! Upset, Lucinda says she wants to be a better person and doesn't want to be surrounded by yes-men. Lily says Brian isn't a 'yes-man' and he really cares about her.

Casey and Alison go to Java and talk about Luke. They are worried about Luke and his drinking. Casey gets annoyed when Alison says it's about time someone noticed Luke's illness. This angers Casey because he didn't see what was happening. He tells Allie about Tom's ultimatum. Alison shows him her new divorce papers. "I'm the champion in the Whose Life Is More Pathetic Sweepstakes," she says. Casey says she isn't pathetic and she tells him to stop flirting with her! Casey says he wasn't flirting with her and Alison apologizes. She says she wants to keep their friendship intact. Casey asks her if she'll help with his job search and she agrees.

Casey Comes Clean!

Casey and Alison meet up in Old Town. He thanks her for the job search help and offers to take her to dinner – no strings attached. She says he has to tell Tom and Margo the truth and offers to go with him. He invites her to Thanksgiving dinner, hoping that Alison's appearance will keep them from coming down hard on him. "I'm a bad mark on the Hughes name. It would be nice to have a friendly face there," he says. She gives in and agrees to come along.

Tom and Margo are getting Daniel settled at the house when Emily calls to check in. Daniel is excited to see her and invites her over; Tom approves but Margo thinks this is a bad idea because Casey is coming home soon. Tom says they can't keep Emily away from Daniel just because Casey and Emily broke things off. Emily arrives a few minutes later with video games for Daniel. He goes upstairs to play and Tom suggests that Emily leave so they can get ready for their family dinner. Emily and Margo exchange barbs about family; Casey arrives – with Alison! The sisters are shocked to see one another. Casey says he invited Alison because she's been helping him figure out his future. Daniel comes back downstairs; he asks if Emily can stay for dinner, too. "Oh, sure, the more the merrier," Margo says. Emily gets snarky with Alison about her job help. Casey finally comes clean and tells them he was expelled. Alison says there are other schools; Emily continues her snarky comments to her sister until Tom says they need time to talk. Emily takes Daniel upstairs but Allie stays with Casey. Allie asks them to listen to Casey because his heart was in the right place. They listen but neither understands Casey's actions. Margo and Alison go into the kitchen; Alison says Casey's heart really was in the right place and if they will stand by him now, he can get through this. She turns to go but Margo asks her to stay.

Outside the door, Tom gets quiet. Casey tells him to say anything but Tom isn't sure where to start. "You've been given one second chance after another and you just throw them away," he says angrily. Casey says he doesn't care what the future holds as long as he doesn't wind up a suit like Tom! Tom goes back inside and runs into Emily; he blames her for Casey! She says this has nothing to do with her. "His problems started way before he was with me," Emily says. Tom says seducing a kid isn't a plus; she storms out and runs into Casey. He asks why she cares about his education; she says she cares about him. "Why? Did Dusty dump you again?" Casey asks. Emily says she realizes she made a mistake – and kisses him! Alison sees them. She angrily says they are acting badly and turns to go back inside. Casey asks Emily to leave! She goes inside to get her things. Casey tells Alison that Emily started it but he doesn't know why – and he doesn't care why! Margo calls them to dinner. Tom resets the kitchen table because Kim and Bob have begged off from dinner because the soup kitchen is packed. Margo says Casey's actions weren't that bad when compared to the problems of the homeless. Emily says she isn't staying. Casey, Alison, Tom, Margo and Daniel sit down to dinner. Casey apologizes for going off on his dad. Tom and Margo offer prayers of thanks for their family. "As long as we've got each other, we have everything we need," Margo says and they eat. Emily watches through the window, crying.

You Will Lose!

Alison arrives at Casey's and says it is time for him to find a job. Casey isn't interested but Allie plows ahead. Every job she comes up with he turns down, saying it won't matter once a potential employer sees his criminal record. Alison says he has to do something to make things up to his parents and Casey says they don't know about the expulsion yet! Alison asks what he wants – and Casey tries to kiss her! She pulls away from him and asks what he's trying to pull. Casey says he wanted to kiss her, which only makes Alison more nervous. "I'm attracted to you," he admits. She says he has to control himself because she only wants to be his friend. Casey asks if they can be friends with benefits and Alison turns him down. She concentrates on his job search but he's still not interested and suggests a night of pool at Yo's.
