Carrie goes down to the pier and bumps into Austin. He asks if he can walk her home and she accepts. In the pier's shadows, we see a person lurking watching Austin. Marlena stops by Carrie's apartment to see her, and finds Stella there visiting Jesse. Marlena tells them of Kim's recovery, which is good news for Roger. Marlena asks Carrie to have dinner with her at Wings and they head out. Austin is there and they invite him to have dinner with them. Marlena can tell Carrie has a huge crush on Austin. She tells Julie and Julie tells her she recognized it as well. Austin asks if he can take Carrie back to the apartment. Shortly after they arrive, Jesse comes home and tells Austin that there is someone knocking at his door. When Austin goes to see who it is, we see it is the guy who was lurking on the pier. We discover it is a friend/former business associate of Austin's whom Austin tells to leave.
