Complete story — includes the ending

Jill shows up one night at the Salinger house after a minor car accident, and Bailey thinks she might be on drugs. When Bailey tries talking to Jill's mother about Jill's drug use, he learns that Jill (anticipating he would do just that) had already told her mother a false story about Bailey's harassing her. Meanwhile, Julia and Justin tell Justin's mother they're going out. When Justin gets angry with Julia for spending too much time with his prudish mother whom he cannot stand, she explains that she misses having a mother to talk to. Arnie's parents are breaking up, and Claudia makes a plan to get them back together, which fails. Elsewhere, Charlie tries to be a better father for Owen, and the baby says "Dad" to Charlie. Bailey goes to Jill's mother for help, but she does not care. Jill is missing and her nurse mother goes to Bailey for help, apologizing for her previous rudeness.
