A frantic search turns up the missing boy by the front door, safe and sound. He is clutching the clown's "Bozo" mask in his hands.
Molly finally gets David to reveal his plan about tormenting Lily. His aim is to get Holden and Lucinda to take Lily away for the remainder of her pregnancy leaving WorldWide and Lucinda's other holdings vulnerable to a hostile takeover by David.

"To hell with David Stenbeck," cries Lily. Holden grabs his coat and leaves the house.

David goes in to his office on the Valetta and finds a confrontation with Holden.
Holden goes to see David and pulls a gun on him. Holden forces David to sign a confession admitting all that he has done to scare Lily. He then has David write a goodbye note to Molly. Holden then takes David to the docks and orders him to jump. David tries to talk Holden out of it but he will not listen. Lily and Molly arrive at the docks. Lily pleads with Holden to please put down the gun. Holden lowers the gun and shows everyone that the gun was empty, which makes David mad. At home Lily asks Holden that if the gun was loaded would he have killed David. Holden answers "yes".
Over dinner, Jack announces to Hal and Carly that he will not be coming back to Oakdale. That he has taken a private case in Chicago. Jack and Hal go to the bar to get more drinks when Jack's cell phone rings. Carly answers it and is surprised to hear that it is the prince. Carly and Hal then guess that Julia is the missing fiancée and that Jack is working for her. Hal and Carly swear that they will tell no one they saw her. Jack and Carly dance and say their goodbyes. Carly tells Hal that they can forget about going to see the specialist but Hal says no. They will go see him.
