Kate was reading to Will {Taylor} and also using him. She wanted Will to say things into a recorder so she could use it later with Sami.

Will said everything that Kate wanted him to say. Taylor said "I s'cared, help mommy, save me."

Kate praised Will {Taylor} for saving the baby bunnies in the book. She didn't want him to figure out what she was doing. She was drugging Sami and showing her a doll that looked like Will. She used Will's voice to make it seem like Sami was losing her mind.

Will {Taylor} looked up at Kate with those big blue eyes. She then said, "You, me and daddy will all live happily ever after too. Just like the bunnies." Will added in, "And mommy." Kate didn't answer him.

Will answered the phone when Sami called. Sami asked where Lucas was and Will {Shawn} said, "He's sleeping. He won't wake up." Sami asked if anyone else was home. He said, "No, I think Daddy had too much of his candy." Sami was upset that Lucas was drinking again and Will was home alone with him. Then Henderson came in and took the phone and assured Sami that he would take care of Will, not admitting that Lucas was passed out.

Will {Shawn} came back from Europe with Lucas. No one had any idea that he was even gone. Roman came over to check up on Will and also on Nicole. Will came running over to Roman when he asked him if he wanted to talk to Mommy.

Will ran up and gave his Grandpa Roman a big hug. Roman held the phone up so Will {Shawn} could talk to his mommy.

Will {Shawn} told his mommy that he missed her. Sami told him to be a good boy and she would be home soon. Will then said, "Bye Mommy"

Roman was getting ready to leave, so he gave Will a big kiss. Shawn didn't seem to mind but he didn't seem too happy about this male bonding scene.

Lucas took Will from Roman and sent him off with Henderson to get cookies. A little while later Will returned with a big cookie. Shawn {L} left the room and Taylor {R} returned to the room with the cookie. They usually rotate scenes.

Will {Taylor} talked with his Grandma Kate on the phone. She was still in Europe with "Grandpa" Victor. Kate said, "I miss you sweety." Will said, "I miss you too."

After Lucas took the phone Will {Taylor} looked off stage. Kate was telling Lucas that he had to give up Will in order to keep Sami quiet. Sami had figured out Kate and Lucas' plan to do her in and then she figured out that Lucas really did kill Franco.

Lucas hung up the phone and then said, "Never, I will never give you up." Taylor as Will.
