As the World Turns Daily Recap: The Wonder Twins Make Out

The doctor asked Craig how much the unconscious Parker had had to drink. Craig said he didn't know but there were two bottles of vodka, one empty and one half empty. The nurse asked him if his son had a drinking problem and he corrected that he was only a family friend but he didn't think Parker had a problem. She then told him they needed to speak to his parents and Craig stepped out to call Carly.

Carly was at the bar drinking and stepped away from her phone to go to the juke box. When she returned she asked the bartender to refill her glass and went to the ladies room as Craig called again. He left a voice mail that she needed to call him right away because it was an emergency. Then Craig called Jack and told him that Parker was in the hospital.

Jack showed up at the hospital and asked what happened. Craig said he found him in the woods passed out and that his head was bleeding which led him to think Parker had fallen and hit his head. Jack asked if he was ok and what tests they were running. Craig said they were doing a CAT Scan to make sure there wasn't a fracture. Jack asked what Parker was doing in the woods and Craig said he'd been drinking. Jack asked where Carly was and Craig said he hadn't been able to reach her but left her messages everywhere. Craig asked Jack if he had any idea where Carly might be and Jack said he was just about to ask him the same question.

At the Bar Carly returned to find her seat taken and tried to get it back but the woman in it wouldn't give it to her. Carly told her they could do this the easy way or the hard way and it was up to her. Carly told her she could either get off the stool or fight for it. The woman told the bartender to get this lush to back off. Carly asked her what she called her and the woman repeated lush. Carly was about to start a fight and the bartender told her he'd call her a cab. Carly told him no that she wasn't ready to leave and he said she was. She asked him if he was kicking her out and he said yes.

The doctor told Jack the CAT Scan didn't show any evidence of a fracture or contusion but he was worried about alcohol poisoning and said he wanted to pump his stomach. Jack asked if that was necessary and the doctor said it was only because Parker didn't remember how much he drank. Jack told him to go ahead and do it. Craig asked if there was anything he could do and Jack told him to find Carly.

Carly returned home and called out for Parker with no answer. Craig called and asked her where the hell she'd been. He asked her if she'd checked her messages and she slurred asking him what messages. He asked her if she was drunk and she told him not to start. He told her he thought she'd quit and she told him she wasn't in the mood for this. He told her to stay there and hung up. Carly proceeded to pass out on the couch.

Craig pounded on Carly's door and eventually went in when she didn't answer and woke her up. She asked if he found Parker and he told her about him being in the hospital and that they were pumping his stomach. She said she needed to go to the hospital but Craig told her not yet and gave her coffee. She tried to say there wasn't time but he told her that Jack was there and she agreed. Craig told her to go get cleaned up and she thanked him.

Jack told Parker about them having to pump his stomach and Parker apologized. He asked where Parker got the vodka and he said it was Carly's. Carly came in and asked where he got it and he said he got it out of a shipping crate on the docks. She asked him why he didn't come to them to talk and Jack insisted they go outside and talk before he could answer. Jack blamed them for Parker getting drunk. Craig said there was plenty of blame to go around and Jack retorted that he was thankful Craig called him to tell him about Parker but he needed to back off. Carly said none of it was Craig's fault and Jack reminded him that Craig got her into the vodka business. Craig said that was ridiculous and that teenagers experiment. Jack then said that most parents don't reek of the business they are in. Craig told Carly she didn't have to listen to this and she asked him to give her and Jack a minute.

She asked Jack if it wasn't obvious that Craig was trying to help and Jack responded that Craig helped her right to the bottom of a bottle. Carly told Jack she was going to stop drinking and that she just slipped but she would get up and Jack said he hoped so. He told her that they have both failed as parents but the drinking has to stop. He started in on the business again and she told Jack he couldn't tell her what to do for a living and he told her somebody has to. Carly started to go back into Parker but Jack stopped her saying the last thing Parker needed was somebody breathing booze and breath mints all over him. Carly agreed and said she would be back later. She told Jack to tell Parker she loved him and he said he would. Jack then went back to the room.

Jack brought Parker a tasty treat to cheer him up but Parker said his stomach was a little weird. Parker asked where Carly was and Jack said they were going to take turns sitting with him. Parker then said that Liberty probably didn't care enough to come down. Jack said he was sure she would be there when she found out and he left a message with Janet. Parker said he didn't want Liberty to know and he felt stupid but didn't know what to do.

Carly told Craig she wanted to do what Parker did and go somewhere with a bottle of vodka to drown out the world and wished she wasn't such a horrible mother. Craig said she wasn't and reminded her of Jack's part of the blame. Carly continued to beat herself up about the drinking and abandoning her kids. Craig told her teenagers get their hearts broken and this wasn't about her. She told Craig that Jack was right and her relationship with Craig was toxic and she wasn't blaming him but it had to stop.

Parker apologized to Jack for letting them down and Jack admitted he'd let him down too and they both agreed to try harder.

Craig blamed her decision on Jack and she said it wasn't his fault and she wanted Craig to go. Craig continued to try and convince her that this was the wrong way to handle things but Carly wasn't swayed. She told him about all the people who had left Parker and that's why he is the way he is and this isn't what he needs. Craig asked her what she needs and she said she needed to take care of her children and couldn't do it with him. Craig told her they had something good and she knew that. Carly told him that it didn't matter. Craig told her that Parker would get over Liberty, grow up and leave, and that Jack had Janet. Then he asked her what she would have. She told him she didn't want to argue about it she just wanted to rest so she could go back to the hospital and see her son so Craig agreed to leave but said he wouldn't give up.

Lily/Luke/Noah/Zac/Zoe/Damian/Holden

Lily filled Luke in on the progress of finding out what happened to the funds. Luke was distracted about Noah leaving and was worried. Lily told him they would work it out when Noah got back and Luke said maybe he should go there and make Noah talk to him and Lily said she didn't think that would be necesary.

Noah told Zac that whatever he and his sister were trying to pull wasn't going to work. Zac told him to shut it or he would tape his mouth shut again. There was a knock at the door and it was Zoe. She told him the two dads were still out of town and they couldn't move until they got back. Zac asked if Luke would be setting off any alarms and Zoe said that he could probably use and update from Noah. Noah said he wouldn't lie for them and Zoe asked him if he didn't want to be a little cooperative. Noah told them they could do whatever they wanted to him but he wouldn't lie for them again. Zoe told him that with modern technology they could do it without him.

Lily told Luke that Damian went to Lisbon to bring Noah home and Luke told her it wasn't his business. Lily told him Damian wanted to make things right since Noah and Luke were fighting about him. Luke told her the only way Damian could make things right was to stay out of his life and Lily insisted Damian was doing this for him. Luke retorted that he didn't want Damian to do anything for him and was upset that she didn't tell him he was going. She said she decided that they both needed to give Damian a chance because he deserved it. Luke asked why she even cared how he felt about Damian and she said it was because it made him so unhappy. Luke said that when he didn't have to see Damian he didn't even think about him. She asked Luke if he was seriously not trying to send a message to Damian when he used his money for the foundation and Luke said he was just trying to help people. She reminded him that he resented the way Damian reacted when he told him he was gay. Luke agreed that was true. Lily reminded him her reaction was bad too and he forgave her and Luke said it was because that was just because of that point in her life and with Damian it's the status quo. Luke basically said he still believed Damian was behind everything that was happening and Lily defended him. Luke told her she was falling for his act and that's why she couldn't stay away from him. Holden came in to hear this just as Lily said it wasn't true. Holden asked who she couldn't supposedly stay away from and Luke told him to take a wild guess. Holden asked what was going on and Luke left. Holden then said it had to be about Damian.

Noah told Zac and Zoe that it wouldn't work because Luke would know it wasn't him. Zoe told him she would make sure Luke bought it. Zac asked her if she wanted him to go and she told him he could stay there and left. Noah asked Zac to loosen the ropes and promised he wouldn't try to run. Zac asked him if he was ready to reconsider his advances.

Lily told Holden the ring wasn't Damian's and defended him to Holden who wasn't buying it. Holden asked if Damian had any proof and Lily said not yet. Holden then asked if she believed Damian and she said she did but admitted Luke didn't. When Holden asked where Damian was Lily said he was in Lisbon looking for Noah and explained why Noah was there. Holden asked why she didn't call him about this and she said that she knew they were going to fight and wanted to do it face to face. Holden told her she was the only one who believed Damian and he was playing her. She continued to defend him and Holden continued to not.

Luke received the fake text message from Noah just as Zoe walked in. She asked him if Noah contacted him and he told her about the text. Luke was still suspicious about Noah's behavior and Zoe tried to convince him his behavior was different because he was so far away.

Noah asked Zac if he knew how much trouble he was in committing a federal offense. Noah then offered to talk to the Chief of Detectives for him if he let him go and turned himself in. Zac asked him if he would really do that even after everything he did and Noah said he just wanted to get out of there before anyone else got hurt and promised he wasn't lying. Zac told Noah that he needed to be convinced that he could trust Noah by Noah making love to him.

Zac tried to convince Noah that it wouldn't be bad and Noah said he still wasn't interested. Noah noticed the barbell on the floor and asked Zac since he didn't trust him why should Noah trust Zac. He responded that he couldn't but the idea of prison was starting to sound bad. Noah asked if Zoe would agree to stop and Zac said he doubted it because it was her idea. He then asked Noah if they had a deal and Noah agreed. Zac untied the ropes and Noah started to unbutton his shirt walking back towards the barbell but Zac caught on and grabbed it before Noah could.

Luke told Zoe that he was pretty hard on his mom and should probably apologize. When she asked why he told her about Damian going to Lisbon and Zoe took off.

Holden told Lily he didn't understand why Lily could trust Damian. She said she didn't but she believed him this time. They continued to argue about it when the doorbell rang and Damian showed up. Lily asked if he found Noah and he said he looked everywhere and Noah never entered the country and that he was probably in serious trouble.

Zac told Noah to get his gaydar checked and Noah asked him what he was talking about and Zac said "what do you think?" Zoe came in and told Zac about Damian going to Lisbon and they needed to move on things before he got back.

Holden asked Damian why Noah would lie to Luke and Damian said maybe he had no choice. Luke showed up and Damian told him he couldn't find Noah in Portugal and Luke said he probably never went. Luke told him about the text and Damian said Noah wasn't there. Lily asked if Luke was sure the text was from Noah and Luke said it was from his phone but admitted that it sounded off and not like Noah. Lily started to call Margo to see if the text could be traced but Holden stopped her wondering if this was just another one of Damian's lies. After Holden went off Damian told him if he didn't want to find Noah fine but he was going to. After Damian left Luke started to wonder if something really did happen to Noah and Holden told him not to get sucked into this. Lily told Luke to try Noah again and told Holden he better be right.

Zac and Noah were waiting when Luke called his phone and Noah reiterated his offer to help Zac if he let him go. There was a knock on the door and Zoe told Zac the note had been delivered. Then they started making out in front of Noah. (let's hope they were also lying about being related).

Holden and Luke continued to debate if Damian was right or not and Lily came in with the note. The note explained that they wanted the foundation's money if Luke ever wanted to see Noah again.

Zac and Zoe toasted to their success and Noah asked them not to hurt Luke. Zoe asked him if he really thought Luke loved him and Noah said he knew he did. She responded that he was about to find out how much.

Luke started freaking out and said they had to give them the money but Holden said there might be another way. Luke said he wasn't taking any chances with Noah's life but Holden said they wouldn't hurt Noah as long as they needed him so that gave them time to find him. Lily wondered how they would find him when they don't even know who the kidnappers are. Holden asked her if it was just coincidence that the note showed up right after Damian left. He and Lily started arguing about it until Luke interrupted saying he didn't care what Damian had done he just wanted Noah back. Holden told him he would go to the police and for them to stay there in case the phone rang.

Noah asked why they bothered with all the games just for money. The told him they weren't going to lay out their entire plan to him. Noah called them crazy and Zac said he was tired of all his negativity and put tape over his mouth and started to get it on right in front of him.

Luke said he couldn't sit around and do nothing and Lily said they should stay put to get ahold of quickly. She then told Luke that she really didn't believe Damian was behind this and if they didn't start believing that they would never find the kidnappers or Noah.

Holden showed up at Damian's room and attacked him and demanded to know where Noah was.
