Back home in Llanview, Clint, Viki and Charlie bring Natalie into Llanfair, who cries, "How am I going to live without Jared?" After Viki promises they'll all be there for Natalie, Natalie hugs Charlie then heads upstairs with Clint.
Charlie walks into the living room, eyeing the liquor bottles, as Viki wishes she could take away his pain. Seated on the couch, Viki and Charlie look through a photo album that Jared put together for him, and Charlie can only remember that he was drunk in every picture - accept for the ones from the past year. Charlie can't take it anymore, goes and picks up a bottle of booze and tells Viki, "There's only one thing I'm thinking about." Charlie throws the bottle across the room and screams that Jared died trying to protect an old drunk! He tries thinking back to the night of the murder, and Charlie remembers how he hated the man - because he was there for Jared when he couldn't be. Viki reminds him of what Jared said - that he and Jared's stepfather had a fight, and the man hit his head - then blames Jared's death on Mitch. "You're not a murderer," Viki says, but Charlie admits if John hadn't pulled him off, he would've killed Mitch - while stone cold sober! Charlie asks for some time alone, and Viki gives it to him, as Charlie picks up a piece of the broken bottle.
Viki goes back downstairs and tries to get Charlie to get some sleep. After Clint promises to stay there, and let him know when the police call, to release Jared's body, Charlie heads upstairs with Viki.
As Charlie strangles Mitch at the vineyard in Napa, Viki screams for him to stop, and John and Brody finally pull him off - as Mitch smirks and says, "Would it help if I said I'm sorry?" Mitch refuses to take any blame then implies that Jared grew up to be just like his father. Charlie warns that if he's ever alone with Mitch, he'll kill him - and Mitch wants John to arrest Charlie for threatening his life! John refuses, and as Charlie leaves, Mitch demands Viki's attention and calls Charlie a drunk and a murderer. As Mitch says, compared to Charlie Banks, he is righteousness itself, Viki slaps him hard across the face and snaps, "Don't you ever say my husband's name again!"
Outside, Charlie admits to Viki that he would have killed Mitch then brings up how he killed a man - and they now have to face this! Suddenly, Napa PD appears and shocks everyone by saying Mitch will be prosecuted in Napa - not Llanview! John is forced to turn Mitch over, who gives John one last smirk before he's taken away.
At the Napa Hospital, after the family is told that Jared is dead, Natalie becomes hysterical, as Clint holds her close, saying, "He's gone. Jared has left us." In tears, Charlie looks into the examination room at Jared's lifeless body. While Viki comforts Charlie, Clint sits with Jessica, as Brody briefly calls John, and Natalie runs to Jared's side. Brody rejoins Jessica and listens as she talks about Mitch, who Brody doesn't trust to be alone with John. Jessica urges Brody to go be with John, and Brody promises he'll return for her soon.
Standing above Jared, Natalie begs him to wake up and starts talking about them having children. Charlie joins her and says, "He's gone," then takes Natalie in his arms, as they both explode with devastation. After Clint comes in to take Natalie away, Viki tells Charlie she's going to see him through this then Charlie asks for a moment alone with his son.
By Jared's side, Charlie takes all of the blame for Jared being dead and says, "I killed you, as if I'd pulled the trigger myself." Charlie vows not to let Jared down again and says that if he did kill Jared's stepfather then it only means that he's capable of doing it again! Before Charlie leaves, he promises that Mitch is going to pay for this! Later, Clint tells Viki that he can't find Charlie anywhere - and Viki rushes off with worry!
John then puts on some plastic gloves, as Mitch talks about all of the people who have died in vain, including Caitlin, then John uncuffs Mitch, throws him face down and holds a gun to his head! "John, no," Brody shouts. "He's not worth it!" Once John pulls away, Mitch asks for Brody's permission to spend some time with Jessica, but Charlie appears and asks, "What about my son!" Charlie rushes in, with Viki close behind, and starts strangling Mitch!
Jared is brought to a Napa hospital, with Natalie holding a rag to his wound. As Charlie and Viki arrive, Natalie screams, "Don't you leave me!" Jared is taken away, and Viki remembers Jessica telling her about Charlie being a murderer. Jared's vitals start dropping, and Natalie screams for him to fight! As Clint arrives, the doctor comes out to tell the family that Jared is alive but the bullet damaged his lung. Before he's taken in to surgery, Natalie and Charlie are allowed to see him…
