Meanwhile, at his Penthouse, Jason orders his accountant to arrange for an anonymous donation of $1 million to be made to Courtney's Children's Foundation. Samantha overhears Jason making the arrangements. Sam asks Jason WHY he wouldn't be able to give the donation directly to Courtney, but Jason protests that it is better for Jason to just avoid seeing Courtney. Jason tries to ignore Sam, but Sam points out that Jason's decision to marry Sam is one that Sam, Sonny and Jason can ALL live with because they ALL know that Jason could NEVER love Sam! Sam tries to convince Jason to make an effort to try to mend his relationship with Courtney rather than marry Sam. But Jason blurts out that, when he went to tell Courtney about the marriage, he found Courtney kissing Jax. Jason emphasizes that he is convinced that Courtney HAS moved on without him and there is NO hope for ever mending the relationship! Meanwhile, in the park, after Courtney storms away from Jax, she heads to The Cellar and begins making plans for a fund-raiser. Courtney is mildly surprised when she receives the anonymous $1 million donation and leaps to the conclusion that the money came from Jax when Jax arrives with flowers right after the messenger leaves. Realizing that Courtney is impressed by what she believes was Jax's generous gesture, Jax allows Courtney to go on believing that the donation came from Jax. Courtney reminds Jax that she won't let him claim that the $1 million donation was merely a down payment for the $10 million involved in their bet and that Jax will STILL need to pay the entire $10 million when Courtney wins their bet! As Jax and Courtney make plans for the fund raiser, Samantha suddenly arrives and overhears their discussion about Jax's "donation" to Courtney's Foundation. Sam declares: "Well, that is our Jax! The soul of generosity!"

Kristina's Nanny informs Alexis that Mr. Lansing brought her home a bit smashed the previous evening and left her a note. Alexis is appalled when she realizes that Ric's note informs her that Skye's second bail hearing has been called for 9 A.M. that morning! As Alexis rushes to get ready, Ric waits at the courthouse, while Skye and Lucky wonder where Luke has gone. Skye confides that Ric seems to believe that it was Skye who took Laura out of the institution and that, somehow, Laura escaped from Skye and Skye made plans to blame Laura for Ross Duncan's death so that Skye could have an exclusive relationship with Luke. Although Skye protests her innocence, Ric is surprised when Lucky goes to Ric with a letter from Luke which alleges that Luke now believes that Skye set Lucky and Luke up. Skye is shocked when she sees Luke's letter. Later, as Alexis rushes to leave for court, she is shocked to catch a news telecast of Ric's announcement that new evidence has surfaced in the case against Skye. Alexis grows even more concerned when she realizes that Ric has a hickey! When Alexis arrives at court, she assures a troubled Skye that Luke's letter will NOT be admissible and that Skye has nothing to worry about. When Alexis corners Ric and begins quizzing him about the events of the previous evening, Ric is smugly evasive but insists that he would NEVER have taken advantage of Alexis in her inebriated state, if THAT is what is worrying Alexis. Later, Alexis is surprised when Skye announces that she has changed her mind and now wants to be released on bail because she can NOT stand another night locked up. Skye is thrilled when Alan and Edward arrive to provide moral support. When Alan and Edward report that Tracy has been gloating that it was Tracy's evidence that will get Skye sent up the river, Skye confides that Tracy only turned her evidence over to the police AFTER Jax dumped Tracy and refused to continue being blackmailed by Tracy. Meanwhile, Alexis and Ric engage in a muffled conversation about their 'relationship," which Alexis claims they do NOT have! Alexis is horrified when Ric gleefully points out that she is wearing mismatched shoes! As Court convenes, Ric argues that Skye was the one who took Laura out of the institution because Skye believed Laura was a rival for Luke's affection. However, Laura escaped from Skye and is currently with Luke. Ric makes note of the letter that Luke left with Lucky, claiming that Laura and Luke are now together and that Skye set them all up. Ric moves that Skye be charged with murder and held without bail. Alexis argues that Skye is the one being victimized and succeeds in having Skye released on bail in Alan's custody. Alan reassures Skye that they will keep looking until they find who really WAS responsible for Ross Duncan's death! Afterward, Alexis catches up again with Ric and demands to know what happened between them the previous evening, all the while, attempting to sneak a surreptitious look at the mark on Ric's neck. But Ric smugly hints that Alexis will be able to remember the details of the evening if she puts her mind to it. Later, when Alexis returns home, she remembers Ric bringing her home and that Alexis made a drunken pass at Ric, but that Ric walked away. However, when Alexis lays down, she suddenly has a vision of herself pulling Ric back into a steamy embrace. An astonished Alexis jumps back up, wide awake now!

After Ned leaves, Georgie reminds Dillon that he has NO idea of HOW to contact Lynn. Plus, of course, Dillon needs to study for an important test.

Recognizing Lynn's distinctive jacket from Dillon's description, Georgie stops Lynn and tries to convince Lynn to record for Dillon.

Georgie tells Mike that Lynn is going to PCU and needs a job this summer. Mike asks her what kind of job she wants there. Lynn tells him she rather work in the kitchen instead of waiting tables. Mike tells her that he has an opening for someone to wash dishes. Lynn accepts the job and Mike offers her a room as well. Meanwhile, Ned and Sage talk at the studio. Sage asks Ned if Dillon could be her director and tells him that she believes Dillon has enough talent to direct her music video but on one condition. Ned asks her what that condition is. Sage tells him that she doesn't want Georgie anywhere near the project and asks that Georgie not be allowed at the studio when they are working together. Ned agrees to her terms since Alcazar is re-investing in L&B again. Dillon returns to the studio. He tells Ned that he has some conflicts but is very close to getting his new singer to sign with them. Ned tells him about his meeting with Sage.

Nikolas worries Mary when he tells her he wants to go back home and do some more work for Alcazar. Mary tells him they can't trust Alcazar and wishes they could stay at the resort a little while longer for their honeymoon. Alcazar shows up in Mexico to talk to Nikolas. Alcazar had a run-in with Faith at Kelly's earlier where she warned him that Sonny and Jason may try to go after him now that they have stalled her efforts to thwart them. Alcazar had told her he had other plans to ruin Sonny that don't concern her. Alcazar hands a photo of Jason over to Nikolas and asks him to spy on him and find out where he is most vulnerable so he can use it against him. He warns Nikolas that Jason is armed and very dangerous and urges him to watch his back. Nikolas accepts the job. Mary returns from her walk to find Nikolas is gone and left her a note.

Emily shows up at Jason's place to tell him she saw and talked to Nikolas in Mexico. Jason worries about her sanity but she convinces him she was not hallucinating when she saw him. Jason gives her a glass of brandy to calm her nerves and makes her tell him everything from the beginning. Emily explained to him about the night of her car accident and how she thought she saw Nikolas near her car and has found out that Nikolas carried her back to Mary's cottage that night not Mary. Jason agrees that it makes more since he never bought Mary's explanation that night about what happened. Emily explains everything about what Mary has done to cover up Nikolas' true identity and trying to pass him off as her husband, Connor. Emily asks Jason to help her figure out how to approach Nikolas. Jason explains that he was angry with the family and anyone who tried to tell him who he was and how he wanted to run.

Emily is disturbed by the news but acts happy for them and wishes Sam well. Emily goes to the park with Jason to take a walk. Nikolas spots them together and watches from the woods. He recognizes Jason from Alcazar's photo of him and sees that he is connected to Emily in some way. Jason tries to explain to her that he needs to marry Sam and do the right thing for his child. Emily voices her concerns for him and sort of guesses that things aren't what they seem. She asks Jason to promise to think of his needs as well. Jason leaves the park. Nikolas approaches Emily at the park. Nikolas smells popcorn and makes a comment. Emily tells him there is a carnival nearby. He invites her to go with him to check it out. Emily reluctantly takes his hand and walks with him.

Jax tells Sonny that they don't need his kind of help and asks him to leave. Sonny refuses to leave unless Courtney wants him to. Sonny asks Sam to leave so he can talk to Courtney alone. Courtney asks Jax to leave for now so they can talk. Sonny asks her why she didn't come to him for financial help with her fundraiser.

Sonny was dressed for Courtney's fundraiser when he took dinner over to Sam in Jason's penthouse. They started to get close to one another but were interrupted when Jason returned early.

Mary was upset that Alcazar had sent amnesiac Nikolas, her "Connor", back to Port Charles on business, still not liking the potential danger he faced with the job. Alcazar reminded her of her selfishness, keeping Nikolas to herself. In PC, Nikolas and Emily had bumped into each other again. Emily continued to pretend he was Connor. Seeing she was hurting, he asked her to tell him about her lost love Nikolas. She filled him in on some details of the relationship. She mentioned to him that she felt she had known him forever, and he replied that there was something familiar about her.

Dillon told Georgie he would quit the directing job since she could not help with Sage's video. She would not let him give up his dream. After she left, Sage and Dillon started to work, which led to an argument causing Sage to leave. She did return, however, and they agreed to work together professionally.

A man claiming to be Lynn's father showed up at Kelly's looking for her. He asked if Maxie had seen her, and she replied that she had not. The man left, and Georgie later found Lynn at the diner. Lynn had seen the man and said she had to get out of town. Georgie begged her to stay, wanting her to sing for the record label and assist in getting rid of Sage as talent. Lynn hid when the man returned, and Georgie told him she had seen the girl and that she had left town on a train headed to Nashville. Once the man left again, Lynn came back out of hiding to talk to Georgie, not realizing the man was watching them from outside through the window.

The following were in attendance at the charity event: Edward, Alan, Tracy, Monica, Ned, Justus, Ric, Alexis, Jax, Courtney, Faith, Mike, Mac, and Felicia. When Sonny arrived, Jax suggested that he leave, and this did not sit well with Courtney. Sonny stayed. Tracy was waiting for something to happen that would shut down the charity. When Ric was interviewed by reporters, he insisted his office had investigated the foundation and that it was indeed legitimate. Tracy warned him that her family could be very influential where his job was concerned and compared him to his brother, calling him a thug with a law degree. Ric found time to antagonize Sonny, and then, seeing Ric and Alexis together, Sonny warned her that he would have her disbarred if she ever revealed anything she learned while working as his attorney. He also said that she and Ric were perfect together, educated and full of themselves. When Ric and Alexis were speaking privately, she said she had some understanding of him since they were both unwanted children. He asked if she was trying to stay close to Sonny or to him.

Sonny was annoyed when Sam and Jason arrived, even though he knew the reason for it. Sam announced to the Quartermaines that she and Jason were getting married, and Tracy immediately assumed she must be pregnant. Jason stated that they were indeed having a baby. Monica wanted to speak to Jason alone but was interrupted when Jax provoked Jason about sleeping with Sam while not completely away from Courtney yet. Jason flew off the handle and decked Jax. Mac asked if Jax wanted to press charges, but he didn't. Jason left, but Sam stayed and gloated about the altercation. She told Courtney that Jason certainly didn't hit Jax without a reason and then revealed that the million-dollar check for the foundation was not actually from Jax.

On orders from Alcazar to come up with information about Jason, Nikolas broke into Jason's penthouse. In the dark, he did not notice a picture above the fireplace of Emily and himself. Jason came home and drew his gun when he realized there was someone there.
