Carly arrives at Rosanna's. Rosanna thought it was Jordan. She says she's not going to let Jordan get close to him. Carly reminds her that he is Cabot's Father. It doesn't make him the enemy. He is just a Father who wants to get to know his son. She says Paul is helping her. Carly says not to believe everything Paul says, he was the reason she almost lost Cabot in the first place. Carly reminds Rosanna that she can have anything she wants, but, she wants everything. She would be wiser to let Jordan get to know his son and they could share custody of him. She could still have Cabot. Rosanna says, that if there is going to be a war over Cabot, she needs Paul on her side.
