AS THE WORLD TURNS RECAPS

Lucy stopped by the farm to meet Gabriel, but Janet told her that he wasn't there. Janet invited her in and they discussed Dusty. Lucy assured her that Dusty is an ex. Janet admitted that she and Dusty had been engaged, but weren't anymore. Janet then shared that she's going to be living in the guest house on the farm and Lucy was confused. "Welcome back to Oakdale," Janet chuckled. Janet explained that she and Jack get along better now than when they were married. Lucy wondered how Dusty felt about the arrangement; Janet replied that Lucy could ask him herself, believing that Lucy was in town to reconnect with Dusty. Lucy insisted that she was in town for many reasons.... Blackie informed Dusty that he's bringing Janet to a baseball game. Dusty wanted to know what game he was playing. Blackie denied that he was pulling any kind of scam, but Dusty didn't believe him. After, Blackie went to pick up Janet and she introduced him to Lucy. Lucy eyed them curiously.



Lily brought Craig flowers and apologized for acting like a fool over Holden and Molly. Craig replied that she only had a "minor meltdown." She invited him to dinner, provided they go anywhere but Metro since that's where Molly and Holden's rehearsal dinner was going to be. Craig understood why she wanted to hide out and they went to the Lakeview. Lily thanked him for his support and they toasted their friendship over champagne. Lucinda spied them together and frantically called Francoise to bankrupt Craig as soon as possible. Francoise called Lily and informed her that a bunch of expensive Asian spices were lost in transit. Craig agreed to give the money needed to get more. Lily wanted to speak with Carly, but he thought that they could handle it on their own. Craig wondered if Lily just wanted an excuse to go to the rehearsal dinner.

Molly and Holden looked forward to the rehearsal dinner. Abigail arrived and was thrilled to see her parents marrying. Abigail asked Holden how Lily was doing and he admitted that she was taking it hard.

Meanwhile at home, Carly held up Molly's wedding dress. Jack stopped by and stated that Carly would look gorgeous in that dress. He joked about getting married right then, but Carly replied that he was pushing. She did agree to go to the rehearsal dinner with him. Carly was worried about Lily, but Jack believed that Lily would find a way to cope.

Carly and Jack went to the dinner and raised a toast to Holden and Molly. Abigail then read a poem to them. Lily entered Metro just then and sadly listened to the poem, which was about two becoming one. Carly approached Lily, who reported in about the spices. Lily planned to go to France that night. Carly asked if Craig was going with her, but Lily said that she's going solo. Holden wondered what Lily was doing there; she told him about her company. Holden wanted to help, but she told him to return to his party.

Janet wasn't feeling well, so Blackie took her to the hospital. Lucy happened to be there at the time, visiting a colleague. Janet was fine, so Blackie later took care of her. He admitted that he's in love with her. Janet didn't know what to say.... Lucy found Dusty at the Lakeview and filled him in on Blackie bringing Janet to the hospital. She became annoyed when Dusty was cold toward her.... Blackie put on some music and asked Janet to dance. Dusty came by and watched through the window as the pair slow-danced together. Blackie kissed her, but she wasn't interested. She then fell asleep at the table. Later, she awoke and was surprised to find that Blackie was still there. She made it clear that she just likes him as a friend. Blackie angrily noted that Brad, Jack and Dusty didn't appreciate her the way he did. Janet asked him to leave.... Lucy stopped by Dusty's and assured him that she wasn't trying to make him angry by mentioning Janet and Blackie. She was surprised that he was willing to wait for Janet. They then kissed passionately.

Craig made some calls to find out about the factory, but no one seemed to know about the place. He hurried to the airport.... Francoise informed Lucinda that Lily is on her way to France and is going to find out that the factory doesn't exist. Lucinda was ready for everything to blow up. After, Lucinda called Holden and informed him that Lily was going to France alone and lied that she feared that Lily was walking into a trap. She made sure to emphasize that Lily would be there by herself. Later, Molly and Holden planned to be traditional and stay in separate rooms at the Lakeview. However, Holden told Jack that he was planning to go to France on the red eye to help Lily. He assured Jack that he'd be back for the wedding. Later, Jack went to say good-night to Carly and shared that he took Holden to the airport. Carly was shocked and horrified.... Lily went to France and learned that the perfume factory didn't exist. "What the hell is going on?" she wondered aloud. "That's what I'd like to know," Craig said, coming up behind her.
