Carly found a gun in Jake's duffel bag along with a ski mask, coat, and boots similar to the ones the gunman had worn during Faison's escape.

Jake completed his mission as guests began to arrive for the party. Carly realized that Jake had lied about his first session with Kevin, so she decided to turn over the incriminating evidence in Jake's bag to Nathan because she was certain that Jake would want someone to stop him from doing something terrible during one of his blackouts.
