Yeah, that happened 16 years ago … sorry, Jo.
But before Ric can find out more, his daughters come knocking.
Penelope broke the news that Caroline will miss their party, and they are not happy.
), and now Caroline is overseas doing recruiting work.
While all of this is going down, Hope is giving Rafael dance lessons.
Penelope then offers to be Josies escort, but Josies not interested.
Instead, she goes to find out if Jo can braid hair.
As Josie puts it, Lizzie is exactly like Caroline.
Youd never guess Caroline wasnt her biological mom.
But Josie takes after Jo, which is why Josies so excited shes here.
After all, Josie worries that Ric is lonely.
But when Josie invites her bio mom to her party, things take a turn.
On the walk over, Jo collapses, and when she wakes up shes not herself.
Her eyes are white and her face is a skeleton, and she attacks Josie.
And of course, Lizzie lets him.
Its Ric who finds Jo, and shes hysterical.
She claims she lost a chunk of time and thinks she did something to Josie.
As Hope rounds the corner in her party dress!
Yep, weve got a full-on zombie attack happening, and Hope is loving it!
Eventually, MG finds Josie with the help of the locket that Hope gave her.
Its a talisman that makes quiet things heard.
So talk about a perfect gift.
But Jo clearly isnt the bad guy something is controlling her, and she feels terrible about what happened.
Thats what Carolines doing, trying to exhaust all options before telling them.
Jo then asks Ric to thank Caroline for being a mom to her girls, and now Im sobbing.
Outside of Rics office, Penelope confronts Josie.
She did help save her, after all.
Now, back to the waterworks.
She tells them, Be good to each other.
Fight for each other.
When youre older youll understand what I mean.
Needless to say, it will be life-changing.
The girls then take Jos hands and as Jo says one last I love you, she disappears.
And thats where we end.
My tear ducts wont forget it anytime soon.
