As the World Turns

Holden feels terribly about yelling at Aaron. Lucy gets a message from Aaron that he is planning on leaving town. She turns to Craig and apologizes, but tells him that she must see Aaron one more time. Craig reluctantly agrees to let Lucy see him because she was so honest with him. He goes to the hospital to invite Holden and Lily (and Aaron) to have dinner with Lucy and him. Later, Craig calls a private eye to get more dirt on Aaron. Hal prepares to propose to Emily, but decides not to when he sees how upset she is about Alison. Susan informs them that Alison has run away and they work together to search for her. Meanwhile, Aaron brings Alison back to the barn. He tells her that running away will only cause more problems and that she should be grateful that all these people want to love her and be her parents. Aaron admits that he doesnt think anyone would miss him if he left. Aaron takes her to Emilys house while Lucy arrives at the barn and panics when she finds it empty. Alison looks through the window to see Emily and Hal celebrating that Hals proposal and Emilys joyful acceptance. Alison has second thoughts about returning. At Java, Marshall flirts with Bonnie, who informs him that she and Isaac are together. Brandy pleads with Isaac to let her keep her job and much to Lisas dismay, Isaac agrees to keep her on. Marshall approaches Brandy to repeat his request for information on Bonnie and Jessica.
