He wants to know why she just doesn't let AJ's family handle his situation. Hannah tells him that family isn't the cure all. He says in his experience people like her who are fixers are usually avoiding something in their own lives that needs tending too.

Roy interrupted his maneuver and asked him was he going on a trip or running away. Lucky replied that he was not running away, but trying to stay as far away from him parents as possible. Again Lucky went on about the lies his parents tell. Roy tried to offset that by mentioning how good friends he is with Luke and Laura and how he has known them since running the college disco with Luke. Lucky was surprised by this, but wondered if Roy knew about the rape. Lucky brought up the rape, but Roy tried to play it cool and not jump off the handle.

Liz was not so sure about this rave party in an abandoned house, so she called Nikolas to ask if they could go to the party as well to keep an eye out for Emily. Nikolas agreed, but did ask why Liz did not ask Lucky first. Liz informed him that she and Lucky were making good progress and she did not want to hinder anything by asking him to this party. She was afraid Lucky would take it as a pass. Poor Nikolas, all the while he is sitting listening to Liz, you just can see it in his eyes, he is wishing that she did indeed care about him as more than a friend. Later, Lucky entered Kelly's and Nikolas extended an invitation to his brother. For Emily, Lucky agreed to accompany them to the rave.

Sonny came home with a surprise in hand for Carly. Carly was looking lost; she had just put Michael down for his nap. At first she thought the gift was for Michael, but perked up when Sonny informed her that he thought of her when he saw it. Carly quickly grabbed the gift and opened it. It was a beautiful spaghetti strap white full length dressed decorated with blue and silver and it was shimmery. Sonny invited Carly to the Casino to show off her new dress, but she declined and said she was not ready to be out in public yet. She was afraid that she might go off again. Sonny said not to worry, they will have a good time. Carly conceded to Sonny and went off to get ready. Sonny closed the Casino for Carly. They were the only two at the roulette table. Sonny was definitely on a mission to cheer Carly. He worked hard the entire evening to teach a very valuable lesson. Trust your own instincts because you make your own luck. He continued to compliment Carly and just b! oost her spirit and self-esteem. When they returned home, Carly told Sonny that she had learned a lesson and did he know what TGIC stood for. Sonny said no, is it thank God for Carly? Carly said it is about what he has pounded in her head all evening, trust, guts, instincts, and confidence. She said thank you for this evening that she would never forget. Sonny said you're welcome. She told him to kiss her, then they continued on one passionate kiss after another.
