Craig walks away, but after Henry and Katie sit down, he comes to their table and tells Katie that Henry might be filling the role of "absent husband," but Mike's not coming back.

Just then, Will arrives and bursts into the interrogation room, demanding to know why Casey would do this to him. He tells Tom and Margo about Gwen finding one of the bonds at their house and accuses Casey of planting it there so that it would look like Will stole the bonds, knowing that Gwen wouldn't want to prosecute her own husband for stealing his own money, and thereby getting himself off the hook for the crime. Casey doesn't deny or confirm this, and Tom and Margo take Will out of the room, where Margo tells him he's free to make a statement if he wants to; he does, and Tom tells Margo they need to get to the judge right now before the statement is part of Casey's record, or he won't get out of jail tonight.

Maddie goes into the interrogation room and tells Casey she knows he couldn't have been the one to set Will up. She tells him if he won't tell her who did, she'll find out for herself, and she says it will break her heart if he doesn't tell her the truth right now.

At Tom and Margo's, Adam calls and makes a reservation for a flight out of Oakdale, then packs his bags to leave. On his way out the door, he runs into Jade, who asks where he's going.

She accuses him of being the one who set it up to look like Will stole the bonds, but he denies it. She tells him he used her, but he says they enjoyed each other's company and had some great sex. She agrees, then asks for a goodbye kiss, but when he kisses her, she reaches in his pocket, grabs his car keys, and tosses them off into the bushes.
