We open at the Firehouse. It's empty, and the phone is ringing. Scott rushes in and answers the phone. It's Dr. Newman, wondering where Lucy is. She was at Serena's school for a meeting with her daughter's teacher, and when the meeting ended, Serena was still sitting outside waiting for Lucy. Dr. Newman brought her to the hospital. Scott is upset; he rushes back out the door.

At the park, Lucy is reaching out, trying to take Christina away from Julie. Julie tries to ward Lucy off, telling her she's not supposed to be there. The social worker agrees with Julie. Lucy trots out her flimsy excuse - Christina's teething gel isn't in the diaper bag. The social worker offers to take the gel. Lucy still won't go away, claiming that they have a routine regarding the gel - juice, then gel.

Julie told Lucy she's not fooling anyone - her purpose is to spoil Julie's visit with Christina. Lucy, of course, denies it. Christina just "wants her mommy" (of course, Christina was perfectly happy playing with Julie until Lucy burst on the scene, and even now, she's basically calm and quiet in Julie's arms, but let's not confuse matters with the facts). Julie retorts that Christina IS with her mommy. Lucy keeps reaching over, trying to take Christina out of Julie's arms; Julie keeps pulling away. The social worker just stands there and watches.

Julie points out that she has waited a year to be with her baby. Lucy retorts angrily and tearfully that she has been with Christina for a year, and Christina needs her. Julie suggests that it isn't about what Christina needs - it's about what Lucy needs. Lucy starts shouting about Julie's motives - she has a doctor husband now, and an illusion of the perfect family she wants (not that anybody else in this argument is driven by visions of a perfect family). Julie insists that Christina was fine till Lucy showed up; Lucy claims that Christina was uncomfortable. Julie accuses Lucy of stalking them; Lucy taunts her with reminders of Ferncliff. At this point they are both yelling and seem about to come to blows. Lucy reaches out to try to grab Christina again, and the social worker finally intervenes, taking Christina from Julie.

The social worker explains that she is concerned about what's best for Christina. Both women try to handle Christina repeatedly (though Lucy is more aggressive about it than Julie). Julie insists that it's unfair to punish her for Lucy's bad behavior. The social worker says that neither woman is acting much like a mother, and so she's going to take Christina back to her legal guardian. Julie is furious - since the legal guardian is Scott, that gives Lucy exactly what she wants. The social worker told Julie to take it up with the judge. Her parting shot: "The last place Christina belongs right now is with either of you." She leaves with Christina.
