AS THE WORLD TURNS RECAPS

Holden surprised Lily with the necklace she pawned for their airfare back to the States during the France trip. She was flattered that he'd gone to all the trouble. "This is most sweetest, generous thing you've ever done for me," she smiled as helped her put it on. They shared a sweet moment as Holden said she deserves it for trying to get him back in time. Lily's mood changed, though, when he made an offhand remark about Craig taking all of her money. She wasn't happy about it and reminded Holden that Craig isn't at fault for what happened in France and that he's her friend. "He isn't anyone's friend!" Holden replied.


Craig was startled by the threatening "bomb" that was sent to him. As he was throwing it out, he found Sierra at his doorstep. She surmised that he's behind the perfume factory scam and worried about Lucy and Lily getting hurt. Craig was insistent that they're all pawns in Lucinda's game and said that he could be good for Lily and hinted that they're romantically involved. Meanwhile, Lucy was floored when Gabriel told her that he overheard Lucinda setting Craig up. "My mother made a huge deal about me coming to Oakdale and now I know the real reason was to distract my father from Lily," Lucy groaned. Gabe said he's not sure Craig's completely innocent.
At the Farm, Janet was still reeling and tried to kick Dusty out. He called her out on pushing him away again and said he can't stop loving her, adding that he wouldn't have slept with Lucy if Janet was ready to be with him. Then he told her it's not too late. Janet took offense, saying she can't just pretend it didn't happen. Liberty arrived so they stopped fighting. After Dusty left, Janet broke down in Lib's arms. She finally told Lib what happened but when Liberty helped, Janet told her she didn't need it. Later, Lib and Gabe went to the pond and talked about their crazy relationships with their parents.
At OPD, Jack was surprised that Carly was willing to work with him, and wear a wire. "We'll keep each other from charging ahead so recklessly," Jack smirked. Carly was just ready to give Craig what he deserves. The sexual tension was off the charts as Jack outfitted Carly with the mic. They shared a passionate kiss. They started to undress but Holden arrived and interrupted. Later, they headed to the Lakeview, where Jack wished Carly luck on working her magic with Blackie to find out more about why he's really in town.
Craig approached Dusty to ask about why Lucy is upset, then offered to let Dusty spend more time with Johnny. Dusty saw through Craig and correctly guessed that Blackie has been threatening Johnny because of all the money Craig owes the guy. Angry and determined, Dusty left to take care of Blackie. Craig tried to protest but let him go, anyway. Later, Gabe confronted Craig to express his worry about Johnny. Craig said he's doing his best and it's none of Gabe's concern, reminding him that he said he doesn't want anything to do with is dad so back off.
Sierra paid Lily a visit. Lily let her know that she's taking Gabe in to make up for the past. Sierra wondered if that's also why she's sleeping with Craig. Lily assured her that's not happening; Sierra was relieved and said that it'd turn into a war if she started a relationship with him and people would get hurt. She used her own marriage to him as an example. Lily reiterated the fact that Craig has changed. Lucy walked in on the conversation and pointed out that Oakdale is still too full of drama for her, then she and Sierra both put the pieces together about why Lucinda brought them back. They marveled at Lucinda's cunning plan and agreed they never want to turn out like her!
Dusty confronted Blackie at Al's, assuming he's the one who tried to harm Johnny before. Craig arrived in time to stop the men from going to blows. Craig wanted to take a different approach and tried to negotiate with Blackie, who refused to make a deal and demanded his money back immediately.
Dusty saw Lucy in Old Town and she told him good-bye, saying she knows where his heart lies and that she hopes Janet realizes what a great guy he is. Then she returned the good luck charm he gave her years ago ("you're gonna need it," she explained) and she left with Sierra.
Jack listened in from a room while Carly approached Blackie at the Lakeview bar and turned up her charm to get him to open up about his past. She asked him how he turned from a juvenile delinquent to a successful businessman. She urged him to tell her all of his secrets and they flirted. Then Janet entered and was stunned to spy them together.
