She says that Jack and Mike Kasnoff thinks she did it. Craig says that he never listens to anything that Jack says and he never listened to Mike Kasnoff. Craig tells her that he just wants his life back and she is his life. She tells him that Carly has gone away on a whim and she will return on a whim. She turns to him and says that the thing that she sees is that Carly has made a fool out of him again and she is wondering if it will ever end. As the two are talking, Jack walks in and says that Rosanna is under arrest. Craig says that he is arresting her on bogus kidnapping charges. Jack says that it is not kidnapping anymore, it is now murder. Rosanna and Craig say, "Murder?" Jack informs them that the gardening tools came back with blood on them that match Carly's blood.
