At the lake house, Molly and T.J. spent some time together, while Alexis worked late. Molly was curious what excuse T.J. had given for not being at home. T.J. had claimed to be studying for a test at the library. Molly started to kiss T.J., but they jumped apart when Sam arrived to pick up Alexis. Molly quickly explained that Alexis wasn't home, and that T.J. was there to study for a test. Sam smiled, and then revealed that she and Alexis were scheduled to attend a Lamaze class together.

T.J. decided to head home, so Molly walked him to the porch. T.J. worried that Sam might tell Alexis about his visit, but Molly was confident that Sam wouldn't say anything, because Sam didn't know that Alexis had forbidden Molly from seeing T.J. T.J. relaxed and then promised to see Molly at school the following day. After T.J. left, Molly returned to the living room, and then promptly questioned why Alexis, not Jason, was going to the birthing class with Sam. Sam claimed that it had been Alexis' idea.

Molly accepted the explanation, but suggested that Sam call Jason, since Alexis wasn't available. Sam admitted that she couldn't, because Sam and Jason were no longer together. Molly was stunned, so she demanded to know what had happened. Sam was reluctant to tell her teenage sister, but Molly insisted that she wasn't a child anymore. After some cajoling from Molly, Sam reluctantly confessed that Jason wasn't the baby's father, and then revealed the details of her rape.

Molly was moved to tears, as Sam finished the story. Molly wanted to help her sister, so Sam admitted that it had helped to talk with Molly about it. Molly wished that she could rewind time, so that she could stop Sam and Jason from going to Hawaii, because they had been so happy that day. Sam agreed. After Molly fetched a glass of ginger ale for Sam, Molly assured her sister that Jason loved Sam.

Molly was certain that Jason would also love the baby when he held it. Sam agreed, but explained that Jason had difficulty believing that, because the baby was a reminder of how he had failed to protect Sam. Molly insisted that it was ridiculous, because Franco had drugged Jason and Sam. Molly urged Sam to try to make things work with Jason, because Jason and Sam's love was special. Molly then offered to go to the Lamaze class with Sam, since Alexis wasn't around.

At the hospital, Elizabeth bumped into Jason. Moments later, a nurse recognized Jason, so she assumed that he was there for Sam's birthing class. The nurse started to lead Jason to the class, but Jason explained that he was not attending the class with his wife. The nurse seemed baffled, so she checked her list, which confirmed that Alexis would be Sam's birthing partner. The nurse was embarrassed, so she quickly left. Elizabeth apologized for the awkward situation, but she was curious why Jason was there.

Jason explained that he had seen a doctor for a six-week checkup and that he had been given a clean bill of health. Elizabeth was relieved, but she confessed that she was worried about Jason and Sam. She was curious if Jason and Sam could patch things up. Jason admitted that he had visited Sam on Sam's birthday, but they hadn't talked about the baby. Elizabeth realized that the rape and Franco's connection to Jason were a lot to process, but she insisted that it wasn't the baby's fault, so Jason and Sam needed to talk.

Jason complained that Sam kept putting John McBain in the middle of things. Elizabeth explained that Sam had a lot going on, so she was emotional. Elizabeth admitted that sometimes it was easier to talk to a stranger, because they didn't have any preconceived notions. She recalled how easy it had been for her to open up to Ewen when she had met him, but Jason argued that Ewen was a psychiatrist. Elizabeth admitted that she hadn't known that at the time, so it had been easy to confide to him. She suggested that Sam might feel the same way about John.

Jason conceded that Elizabeth had a point. Elizabeth pointed out that Jason loved Sam, so she was curious if he really thought that his marriage to Sam was over. Jason confessed that he didn't know, but he had been tempted to move forward when he had seen Sam on her birthday. However, nothing had changed about his feelings for the baby, so he couldn't make any promises to Sam. A short time later, Elizabeth walked Jason to the elevator and then decided to check on Ewen.

Jason hoped that Ewen recovered quickly, for Elizabeth's sake. Elizabeth smiled and admitted that she hoped that everything worked out for Jason and Sam. Elizabeth and Jason shared a friendly hug, as Sam and Molly exited the elevator.

At Kelly's, Carly was lost in thought as she recalled Johnny giving her the Cinderella bracelet and confessing that he had remembered everything that she had told him. Shawn spotted Carly at the counter, so he walked up and commented that she seemed a million miles away. Carly smiled up at him, as Shawn glanced the bracelet. He was curious if it was for Josslyn. Carly admitted that it had been a gift from Johnny, as a peace offering for cheating on her. Shawn wondered why she was holding on to it.

Carly admitted that it was a good question, because the bracelet was a reminder of Johnny's betrayal. She grabbed a napkin, dropped the bracelet into the napkin, wadded it up, and handed it to a passing waitress to throw away. Carly regretted that she hadn't left with Shawn when Shawn had gone to Johnny's penthouse to whisk Carly away from Johnny. Shawn pointed out that Carly had had strong feelings for Johnny, while Shawn had just been a friend. Shawn assured her that he was fine and that he had been seeing someone.

However, Shawn was sorry that Johnny had hurt Carly, so Carly explained that Johnny had promised that Kate had been a one-time thing. Shawn wondered what kind of person expected to be forgiven for cheating. "Me," Carly admitted. Carly told Shawn that she had cheated on Jax with Sonny when Michael had been shot in the head. Carly recalled that she had begged for forgiveness, just as Johnny had begged her for forgiveness. Shawn was curious if Carly believed that Johnny had been sincere.

Carly insisted that it didn't matter, because the circumstances had been different. Carly reminded Shawn that she had been married to Sonny four times, while she and Johnny had only dated for a few months. She conceded that Jax had forgiven her, but she didn't know if she could do the same for Johnny. A short time later, T.J. entered the diner. Shawn demanded to know where T.J. had been, so T.J. explained that he had been studying at the library and reminded Shawn of the text message that he had sent to Shawn.

Shawn looked at the message. "Lib. Klr test," Shawn read. Carly admitted that it made perfect sense to her. Exasperated, Shawn sent T.J. to their apartment to study. After T.J. left, Shawn returned to the topic of Johnny. He was curious if Carly wanted to forgive Johnny. Carly argued that Johnny had cheated, so Shawn reminder her of the bracelet that she had been carrying around. Carly reminded him that she had thrown it out, so Shawn suggested that perhaps she had made her decision.

After Shawn left, Carly thought about Johnny's impassioned plea to give him a second chance. Carly went to the trash can, retrieved the bracelet, and then left.

At Crimson, Dante kicked open the door to Kate's office and told the person seated behind Kate's desk to freeze. Lulu quickly assured Dante that it was okay, so he flipped on the lights. Lulu was curious what Dante was doing there, so Dante explained that security had called when someone had tripped the silent alarm. Lulu revealed that she had been forced to break into the office, because Kate had changed the locks. She pointed out that it was safe for Dante to put the gun away, so Dante sheepishly apologized, and then holstered his gun.

Lulu admitted that it had been exciting, not frightening, to see Dante in action. Dante was curious why Lulu was in Kate's office, so Lulu explained that the printer had called her, looking for someone to approve the cover for the next edition of Crimson, because Kate and Maxie hadn't been available. Dante reminded Lulu that she no longer worked for the magazine, but Lulu shrugged, and then held up the photo that she had selected, featuring a model with a black and white striped blouse. "I was thinking of going with horizontal stripes, but do you think it's in poor taste, considering that most of the office is modeling this look?" Lulu asked. Lulu realized that it didn't matter, because she suspected that Kate would freak out, regardless of what Lulu chose.

Lulu admitted that she had difficulty believing that Kate had attacked Dr. Keenan. Dante confided that it made him wonder if perhaps Kate had been responsible for shooting out Anthony's tires. Lulu pointed out that there was a big difference between hitting someone over the head and speeding down a winding road at night while skillfully shooting out two tires. Dante suggested that Kate might have some hidden talents. Lulu argued that Kate loved Sonny, so it didn't make sense that Kate would frame him. Dante reminded her that he had to investigate all possible angles.

Lulu was curious if Dante had any other leads on the shooting, so Dante revealed that Johnny was the prime suspect, because Johnny had the strongest motive -- and the means to kill Anthony. Lulu doubted that Johnny had changed that much since she had dated him, but Dante pointed out that Johnny was "messed up" and that Johnny's hatred for Sonny had poisoned the young Zacchara. Lulu suggested that perhaps Sonny had influenced Dante's view of Johnny, because Carly had spent the night with Johnny on the night of the shooting. Dante suggested that alibis were like any other story -- sometimes they were true, and sometimes they were not.

At the police station, Alexis watched through the two-way mirror as Sonny confronted Connie. She glanced down at her phone too see if there had been a message from Dr. Snyder; however, she saw the reminder that she had been scheduled to meet Sam for the birthing class. Instead of leaving, Alexis remained riveted to the scene unfolding before her.

In the lineup room, Connie admitted to shooting out Anthony's tires. Connie explained to Sonny that Kate had been wavering about staying away from Sonny, despite the ultimatum that Kate had given Sonny on that fateful night, so Connie had decided to show Kate how dangerous Sonny was. Sonny wondered why Connie had made Kate relieve their tragic wedding day by putting on the bloodstained wedding gown. Connie feared that Kate would not live a long life, so she had hoped to shock Kate into remembering how deadly Sonny could be. Sonny suggested that perhaps Kate thought that being with him was worth the risk. Connie insisted that Kate was an idiot.

Connie informed Sonny that she had been shot, too, on the wedding day, so she had felt Kate's fear, pain, and helplessness as Sonny had begged Kate to stay alive. Connie had hoped that wearing the bloodstained wedding dress would have done the trick, but then "Dr. McDreamy" had talked to Kate on the pier. Sonny wondered if that were the reason that Connie had shot out Anthony's tires. Connie explained that she had needed a guarantee to make certain that Kate didn't change her mind about taking Sonny back, so Connie had decided to make it appear that Sonny had done the one thing that Kate had asked him not to. Connie bragged that she had gotten her hands on an unmarked gun, and then had shot out Anthony's tires.

Sonny wondered if Connie had bothered to stick around to see whether anyone else had been injured. Connie was unrepentant, as she admitted that the dress had made her uncomfortable, so she had taken off in the opposite direction to clear her head and return to Kate's office. That was when Sonny had arrived to tell Kate about Robin's death. Connie conceded that Sonny knew exactly how to work Kate, because Kate had left with Sonny. Sonny recalled that Kate had decided to return to work later that evening, so Connie revealed that she had taken over when Kate had arrived at Crimson. Connie had then seized the opportunity to plant the gun.

Sonny pointed out that Connie had hurt Kate, not him, because two innocent people had died. Connie shrugged, and then insisted that they had been collateral damage. Sonny was outraged. He wrapped his hand around Connie's throat in anger, but Connie screamed that he had left her no choice. Seconds later, Kate emerged.

Sonny immediately released his grip, and fought back tears as he tried to soothe Kate. Kate was visibly shaken, as she asked what was going on. Sonny assured Kate that everything was okay and asked what she last recalled. Kate remembered waiting for Dr. Snyder to arrive, and then confronting Connie about the gun that had been found at Crimson. However, Connie had refused to answer her. "She told me," Sonny admitted. Kate was filled with dread, as she asked what Connie had said.

At the Zacchara penthouse, Anthony aimed a loaded gun at Johnny, who had been shoved to the ground by his grandfather. Johnny dared Anthony to shoot him, and then confessed that he had been responsible for shooting out Anthony's tires. "I could have been killed," Anthony said in disbelief. "That was the idea," Johnny snidely replied. Anthony demanded to know why Johnny would turn against him like that.

Johnny admitted that the timing had been perfect, because Sonny had revealed to everyone that Claudia had been Johnny's mother, not his sister. Johnny confessed that he had suspected Anthony of taking aim at Dante in the parking garage, so it had been easy to accuse Anthony of the deed when Sonny had shown up at the penthouse with a thirst for vengeance. Anthony wondered why Johnny had called to warn Anthony that Sonny was on the hunt for him, so Johnny explained that it had been Carly's idea. Johnny had been ready to wash his hands of Anthony until the dream. "What dream?" Anthony asked.

Johnny recalled waking up in bed after Johnny and Carly had made love. According to Johnny, he had dreamed that Claudia had urged Johnny to kill Anthony, because she wanted Anthony to be punished for denying her the opportunity to be a mother to Johnny. In the dream, Claudia had insisted that Johnny, not Sonny, end Anthony's life, so Johnny had slipped out of bed to avenge Claudia. Anthony didn't buy the Hamlet story, but Johnny assured Anthony that it was true.

Johnny claimed that he had arrived at the Quartermaine mansion in time to see Anthony throw a suitcase into the trunk of the car and take off. Johnny admitted that he had been the person driving behind Anthony with the high beams on, and he had shot out the tires. On the way home, Johnny had realized that he could frame Sonny for the crime. Anthony was curious why Johnny had planted the gun in Kate's office, rather than at Greystone Manor. Johnny explained that there had been too many guards at Sonny's home and that the police would have needed a search warrant to locate the gun.

Johnny revealed that he'd overheard Max and Milo mention that Sonny had been searching for Kate, so Johnny had gone to Crimson, because Sonny would eventually show up there. Sonny had gone to Kate's office, so it had worked out perfectly. Afterwards, Johnny had returned home, and then had slipped into bed with Carly, who had been sleeping soundly. Johnny smiled smugly, as he realized that Anthony knew it to be the truth. Anthony's expression clouded with hurt and rage as he reminded Johnny how he had raised Johnny as his own, and loved him like a son.

Anthony insisted that he had built his empire to pass down to Johnny, so he couldn't believe that Johnny would repay him like that. "The truth hurts, don't it?" Johnny asked. "Not half as much as this will," Anthony hissed, as he cocked the gun. Johnny sprang up and grabbed the gun. After a brief struggle, a shot rang out. Anthony and Johnny looked at each other with rounded eyes.
