Later on, Sam comes back downstairs after being relived of her hangover. Jason thinks she should stay home today, but she doesn't want to. She asks if she needs to apologize for anything she said or did when she was drunk and he reminds her about a comment she said regarding who he wants to be with. She acts confused as to why she said that, but said it must have something to do with the fact that they can't have children. She says they must focus on the gifts that they do have and leaves. When she arrives at work, she asks why everyone is leaving. Amelia thought she would take the day off. Sam apologizes for her behavior, and Amelia mentions how she told her that Jason is Liz's baby's daddy. Sam tells her she must keep it a secret, and Amelia wants to know why she is protecting Jason.

Epiphany finds her watching them outside Liz's hospital room and asks her why she is just standing there and not going into the room to see the baby.

Sam tells him she is fine and that she just loves babies so much. Liz feels even more uncomfortable about it knowing what she knows. Lucky mentions that the TV producer, Amelia came by earlier and asked Liz if she would go on Sam's television show with the baby to discuss the hostage crisis at the hotel. Sam tells them she had no idea she was going to do that and Lucky comments that Amelia was very pushy about it but they refused her offer. Sam leaves suddenly and confronts Amelia at the television studio about it. She can't believe that Amelia would even think of putting Liz and her son on her program knowing that Jason is the baby's father and how it would make her feel. Amelia gets very defensive and tells Sam that she shouldn't take out her anger and frustration with Jason on her. Sam backs off.

Skye tells Jason about Alcazar's meeting with Mr. Craig earlier and how she overheard them conspiring to have Jason and Sonny killed soon. Sonny comes into his office and Jason brings him up to speed on what is going on. Skye pleads with them to spare Alcazar's life until she gets her baby back safe and sound. Sonny listens to her and tells Jason to hold off on Alcazar and go after Craig and kill him. He warns Jason not to get too emotional when setting out to kill Craig or he could get hurt. Jason tells him he is going to make Craig pay for killing his father. Meanwhile, Maxie badgers Cooper at the hospital about what secrets he is keeping from her. She asks him who the guy was he was talking to in the alley behind the police station. Cooper lies at first and tells her that it was an undercover cop. Maxie doesn't believe him. She tells him that he can trust her with any secrets he has and she won't tell on him. Cooper finally confides in her that the man in the alley was Mr. James Craig. Maxie knows who he is and gets worried that Craig is putting pressure on Cooper to help him. She also worries that Craig will give away Cooper as one of his fellow co-conspirators if he gets caught by the police. Cooper comes clean with Maxie about why he really joined the police force, to report to Sonny about police activities. He explains to her that Max, Sonny's bodyguard figured out who he was and told Sonny about him. Maxie realizes she is partly to blame for that when she slipped up that day at the hotel and referred to him as "Three." Maxie tells Cooper to let her help him get out of this mess he is in. She goes to Sonny and Jason's coffee shop to see Jason. Spinelli is in his office where Jason asks him to find out what Alcazar's last phone calls were made to by hacking into his phone records. Spinelli hates Maxie and warns Jason to watch out for her and not let her manipulate him. Maxie tells Jason that Cooper had contact with Mr. Craig earlier today and that he is trying to set up a meeting with Mr. Craig and she wants Jason to make sure to protect Cooper from Craig killing him. Jason has no time for her but listens to what she is saying and tells her he will handle it. Maxie gets a call from Cooper on her cell-phone telling her that he set up a meeting with Craig at some location. Maxie gives Jason that information so he can go there and kill Craig and protect Cooper. Sonny goes to Carly's house and waits for her there. Carly comes home and isn't pleased to see Sonny there waiting for her. He tells her he came by to warn her that James Craig is still in Port Charles and poses a threat to her and their sons. He tells her he wants her and the boys to stay with him at his house where they will be more protected. Carly refuses to go with him since she is married now to Jax and he can protect her. Sonny doesn't agree with her. Carly tells him that if she agreed to stay with Sonny she would be ruining her marriage and she can't do that. Meanwhile, Jax confronts his brother Jerry/James Craig in the alley behind the police station. He asks him why he held 14 people hostage at the hotel, blew it up, shot one of his closest friends, Robin, and put a gun to his wife's head. Jerry tells him he went there for the money and he improvised after things starting going wrong with the vault and the briefcase. Jax asks him why he could do such a thing when he knew that Robin was a friend of his and she could have died. Jerry explains that he shot Robin because he knew that was the only way he could keep the hostages from revolting by keeping them in line and having them help keep Robin alive. Jax isn't too happy with his explanation and wants to know what made Jerry become a different person not only in looks but in personality. Jax tells him that he could walk right over to the police station and tell them who he is and asks Jerry if he would stop him. Jerry takes out his gun but can't shoot Jax. Jax tells him that Carly knows who he really is and he may not be able to stop her from telling Sonny and Jason about him and have them kill him. He tells Jerry it would be best to leave town and never come back. Jax returns home to find Sonny there. Carly tells Jax that Sonny came by to warn her that James Craig is still in Port Charles. Jax realizes that Carly didn't tell Sonny that Craig was really his brother Jerry. Sonny tells Jax that if Craig comes after Carly he better die to save her life if it comes to it. Jax tells Carly that he didn't think he got through to Jerry and that he told him to leave town but Jerry will do what he wants to do regardless of what he thinks. Meanwhile, Alcazar hands one of Sonny's employees a briefcase full of cash to kill Sonny and Jason. Logan spies on Alcazar and Sonny's employee talking. He follows the employee back to Sonny's office at the coffee shop. Logan tries to get in to see Sonny in his office but the guard at the door refuses to let him in. Spinelli laughs at Logan's attempts to get in to see Sonny. Logan waits until the guard turns his back on him and runs through the door and into Sonny's office. Sonny refuses to talk to Logan again and the bodyguard starts escorting Logan out of his office. Logan tells Sonny that he has information that could save his life and acts like he doesn't care either way if Sonny hears him out. Sonny has a quick change of heart and lets Logan come back into his office. Logan tells him that he spied on Alcazar and the employee working in the coffee shop and how Alcazar paid the man a lot of money to poison Sonny's coffee to kill him. The employee comes in with Sonny's coffee to give to him. Sonny pretends he is going to drink it but changes his mind and sniffs it instead. He tells the employee it smells funny and asks him to drink it for him and tell him if he tastes funny also. The employee tells him he will go back and get him another coffee instead. Sonny insists the man drink the coffee and taste it for him. When the man doesn't want to do it, Sonny confronts him about trying to poison him for Alcazar. Later, Jason meets at the place where Cooper is supposed to meet with James Craig. He starts shooting at James Craig, who hides behind some crates and shoots at Jason also.

Amelia introduces Sam to the actor that will play her attacker. As they begin the scene and her attacker grabs her, Sam starts to have flashbacks and stops. She tells Amelia she can't go through with this because of something that happened in her past. Amelia is stunned that Jason is an abuser, but Sam says it was not him but someone else in her past. Amelia tells her she has to tell her story in order to help all the other women out there. Sam agrees that being uncomfortable for a few minutes is worth it if it helps other people.

Logan comes in and tells them how he just saved Sonny and is determined to get a job with him. Maxie is curious as to why he wants to work for Sonny. Logan says he wants more than a shiny badge.
