Peter is interrogated by the cops, who are convinced that he has killed Alex after finding out she tricked him about the baby. Things are looking dark and Linda is unable to raise the $2 million bail because Allen has frozen all of her assets until the divorce is settled. Jordan tells Mark that Ward & Weston wants to back his new book. A thrilled Mark lies that his new psycho-thriller book is based on his experiences in New York: he is the only man that Carrie hasn't been able to seduce, so she has done all she can to destroy him. Jordan foolishly believes every word and finds herself attracted to Mark. Linda swallows her pride and begs Allen for bail money but he won't help her with the money unless she sleeps with him.

Tyler apologizes to Gil but once he has Rachel alone, he starts making the moves on her. Brock assembles a family dinner at the Zinc Bar. Linda brings Carrie along and Jordan brings Mark, who starts groping Carrie underneath the table. Again, Carrie is made looking like the crazy one and rushes off. Later, Carrie violently attacks Mark. The cops take her away and she is put under the psychiatric care of Dr. Kyle Rose, who wants to keep her for observation for 2 months. Tyler feels that Brock neglects him in favor of Gil, so he goes to Dianna and informs her that Gil is in charge of keeping the Starworks bid safe. Dianna arranges for Rachel to work late hours and then drops by Gil's flat. Acting very seductive, she manages to steal the Starworks bid while Gil is on the phone. After almost (but not quite) seduc

Brock has used too much money to acquire Starworks and realizes Allen may use the opportunity to attempt a hostile take-over. While Allen is working on Brock's board members, Dianna works on getting Tyler to help out with the take-over. She tells Tyler that he will then be given a top position and that Jordan received 2% of Brock Global Communications when she turned 25 while Tyler got nothing. Dr. Rose discharges Carrie.
