As Lulu left Lucky, Liz and Cam at the pier, she dropped her box of "condoms." A suspicious Liz demanded to know whom Lulu was sleeping with, and Lulu fled. Recalling the fictional Elvis, Lucky scoffed at Liz and told her to stay out of it. Liz got mad and told Lucky she was taking Cam to Grandma's, but they should meet back on the docks for an argument. When she left, Lucky called Maxie and told her to buy more pills so he can give Liz his stash. At that moment Liz returned for their scheduled argument, telling Maxie she and Lucky needed to "speak alone." Lucky admitted he blames himself for Jesse's death, but he takes the pills for back pain, and offered his wife the bottle. She initially balked, but took them anyway. "I'm not the bad guy," she insisted. Back home, Lulu opened a birthday card from Grandma Lesley. Then she opened a home pregnancy test. Tracy entered before Lulu got the results. She demanded to know why Lulu skipped work. and offered to take her to Kelly's.

At the police station, Alexis cut Jason loose, making Carly suspicious. The power blinked and they left. Carly recapped the Ric situation, and fretted over Sonny taking his medication before a meeting. Ric and Sam pondered how to share a house, and discussed Alexis' selective parenting of Molly and Kristina she clearly favors Kristina. Sam and Ric traded sob stories about who's the bigger burden on Alexis, then Ric accused her of always defending Jason even when he lied to and stole from Sonny. Sam insisted she never wanted Jason's money. Later, Ric went to the police station in search of Alexis, but she wasn't there. He became suspicious that she's never around anymore even as Alexis seemed distressed by a letter.

Sonny's meeting turned out to be a crossover between GH and STARGATE SG-1, as Sonny held Rosales (played by Tony Amendola, SG-1's Bra'tac) at gunpoint, blaming Alcazar for spreading rumors about his professional demise. Sonny said Alcazar was working for Feds, and Rosales needed Sonny because all avenues pass through Sonny's territory. Bra'tac...er, Rosales was penitent, and Sonny ordered him to sever ties with Alcazar. Jason appeared just as Sonny sealed the deal, then asked to be taken home. Carly found Lainey and voiced her concerns. Lainey regretted booting Sonny out of their last session and told Carly to keep him on his meds. Back home, Sonny tried to self-medicate with booze. He forgave Jason for missing the meet, then admitted he doesn't feel completely in control. Carly arrived, and Sonny said everything's fine. Jason said the meeting was cool. While Sonny refused to talk shop, Carly fretted until he reassured her, so she left. "What do we do now?" Sonny asked, admitting he bluffed Rosales. Sonny asked Jason if he's ready to get back in the game; Jason said no. Suddenly, Ric waltzed in and accused Jason of not wanting Sonny to recover. Sonny blasted his brother. Ric called Sonny a figurehead, so Jason had to hold Sonny back from punching Ric. Jason and Sonny ordered Ric out. "I can't keep doing this," Sonny gasped. He went to Lainey at GH and surrendered to her judgment on meds and therapy. Whatever she wants, "I'll do it," he vowed.

Carly went to the lake house to tell Sam that Sonny "is back" so Sam can get back with Jason. They quarreled over what more Sam can do to reclaim him. Carly insisted Jason loves her just as Alexis returned. She ordered Carly out, and Carly warned Alexis that her kids will resent her until she does everyone a favor and drops dead.

At Kelly's, Lulu tried to check her pregnancy test, but a surprise birthday party broke out.

At Kelly's, Liz, Lucky, Bobbie, and Tracy surprised Lulu for her 18th birthday. Lulu was surprised that everyone remembered. When Nikolas came in, he brought the baby with him, and at that time he let Lulu and Lucky know that the baby's name had been changed to Spencer to honor his siblings. At that time Dillon came into Kelly's, and Lulu asked that he not share what had gone down between them with her family. Dillon agreed, and stayed to celebrate. Maxie also came to the party, and when she said hello to Lucky his reply was abrupt, and he went to another part of the restaurant. Patrick came into the restaurant, and when he realized it was a party, he turned around to leave. Liz asked him to stay, and when Patrick said she did not have to be friendly to him because of his ordeal, she let him know that she had noticed that he was distancing himself from friends and that she would not let him do that. Lucky, witnessing this, went to Maxie and apologized for being abrupt. Maxie said she understood that he wanted to make sure that Liz was not suspicious of what was going on, and it was too bad that she was all over Patrick.

At Alexis', Carly was trying to convince Sam to fight to get back with Jason. When Alexis tried to explain that whatever actions she took, it was so that her children had a better life. Carly said that she wanted her children to only live the life that she wanted for them, and that they would be happy when she finally died. At that time, Rick showed up, and Alexis demanded that Carly leave. After Carly left, Alexis commented how beautiful Sam looked, to which she commented that she was going out to celebrate her first paycheck. Alexis asked if she would like someone to go with her, to which Sam commented that she was looking forward to spending some time alone. After Sam left, Alexis became upset about what Carly had said, which surprised Rick, because he commented that whenever the two of them got into it, that Alexis never took it personal. Alexis angrily said that she didn't like the comment that her children would be better off when she died. She then left to go back to the office.

Jason met Emily at Metro Court, commenting on how much he was looking forward to having dinner with her. He asked how she was doing since the break up with Sonny, to which she said that she was doing alright and that she was taking it day by day. When Jason suggested that they get a table, she told him that they were not having dinner, but that she had invited him on someone's behalf. Jason automatically assumed that she was trying to set him up with Sam, and Emily let him know that it was actually Edward who asked to have dinner with him. When the two of them sat down, Edward asked Jason to eliminate Lorenzo, that doing so, would allow Skye to return to her family, and have her child with her love ones around her. Jason told him that Skye was safe with the friends who were helping her, and that asking him to kill Lorenzo would only be on his conscience. Edward said that he had done a lot of things in his life that he regretted, and that one more regret would not be too bad. Jason asked if he really wanted to send his grandson to kill someone, to which Edward said that looking into his eyes, it reminded him so much of Lila, and he changed his mind. He felt that his duty was not to add another crime to the list of crimes Jason had committed, but to try to get him back into the family. While they were talking, Sam walked in to have a seat, which visibly shook up Jason. Edward and Jason ended the conversation, Edward apologized for what he had said after Justus' death, and the two of them shook hands. Jason went onto the balcony, and began to relive the night that Sam was shot. When Sam came onto the balcony, he asked that she run to him like she had that night. When she did, he showed her where she had gotten shot, and that if he had held her 3 inches lower, that the bullet would have killed him. That is when Jason said that he could not love her any longer, because that could kill her.

At Lulu's party, Carly showed up to wish her cousin a happy birthday, and around the same time Georgie showed up at Kelly's. Dillon asked Georgie not to share what had happened between them and Lulu, and Georgie agreed that other people should not be involved in what had happened between them. When Dillon commented that he was impressed with Georgie, she reflected that things may be different then what they appear. At that time she interrupted Maxie and Lucky's conversation, and told Maxie that it was obvious that she was sleeping with Lucky, and if she was not careful that Liz would notice. Maxie told her not to worry, since it was so obvious that Liz was interested in Patrick.

After the party ended, Lulu went to Shadybrook to visit her mother. In the room she let her mother know of what she had done to get Dillon to be with her and that after he had found out about her lies, he ended it with her. She said that she had accepted the decision, and had been willing to move on, but it was impossible to do that now because she was pregnant.

Liz and Carly were at Kelly's cleaning, when Lucky went outside to meet Maxie, who gave him some more pills. Lucky apologized again for being abrupt with her, and Maxie said she knew how they felt about each other. Maxie kissed Lucky, and when he pulled away, he said that they could not do that in the open. Carly came out with a bag of garbage at that time, and spied the passionate kiss. Maxie then led Lucky back into Kelly's rooms through the back, Carly followed them up there, and witnessed them beginning to make love. She went downstairs and was helping Liz, when Liz commented that she wondered where Lucky was, that he had was not answering his cell phone. Carly was visibly uncomfortable, and when Liz started to pressure her, she confessed that she saw Lucky upstairs making love to Maxie. Liz did not believe her, and said that she was going to go upstairs to prove Carly wrong. Carly told Liz that she shouldn't do that because the image would be burned into her for the rest of her life. Liz did not heed her warning, and walked up the stairs. She then went to the door of the room that Maxie and Lucky were in, and opened the door to see the two of them in bed.

Robin is working at the hospital where Lorenzo Alcazar begins bothering her about the whereabouts of where Skye and his unborn child are. Robin informs him that she cannot divulge any information them due to patient-doctor confidentiality. Lorenzo then makes a dig about Robin doing her father's bidding. Robin tells him if he has a problem he should take it up with the chief of staff, and she walks away. Sonny exits the elevator and he and Lorenzo begin to trade insults. Sonny tells Lorenzo that he is fine, and that his attempt to make him look bad in front of the Rosales family failed. Lorenzo tells him all of the families know that he is fragile as an egg, and with the right pressure, he will crack.

Carly is on the phone with Max at the Metro Court, asking if Sonny had gone to therapy, or if he used the heat as an excuse to skip it, but she is happy to find out he went. She hangs up and without looking up; Carly tells a person standing in front of her that if they aren't there to fix the air, the MC is closed. Then Jane Jax tells her it's almost as hot in Port Charles as it is in Africa. Carly looks shocked as Jane says she needs Carly to save Jax.

Patrick is in the locker room changing as Robin enters, telling him she has been searching everywhere for him. He says if this has to do with the Taylor case, he isn't interested. But then Robin asks him if he wants to have dinner at her place that night.

Liz is making the bed at her apartment, and in a fit of anger she throws the pillow away from her. Just then Lucky walks in the door, apologizing for not calling because he was on a stake-out all night and it was too late for him to call. Liz calls him a liar, and tells him he was staked-out all right, in bed with Maxie.

Georgie walks out of the elevator at GH and corners Maxie. Georgie tells her that she had to lie to Mac about Maxie's whereabouts the night before, and then Georgie tells her that both she and Mac are worried about her. Maxie tells her that there is no reason to be worried, and that she was safe with Lucky. Georgie tells her it's not safe, that he is married. Maxie tells her sister that she won't give him up.

Back at Lucky and Liz's apartment, Lucky asks where Liz got the idea of him sleeping with Maxie. Liz tells him she found out from Carly, and Lucky tries to brush her off asking when she started believing Carly about anything. Liz says she defended him to her. She tells him that both she and Carly saw him and Maxie because they had forgotten to shut the door. Lucky starts to drink a beer, and Liz angrily asks why he could do that to her. Lucky becomes defensive and asks her how she expected him to do anything else.

In the locker room, Patrick tries to decline by saying he is busy but will take a rain check.

Robin tells him that she checked his schedule, and that he isn't busy. She also says the rain check isn't possible, at least not in her nice quiet apartment because she is moving in with Kelly and Lainey. So Robin asks if he wants to take advantage of the privacy while they still have it, and Patrick sighs, and asks when does she want him? Robin replies almost always.' Patrick tries to suppress a smile as he tries to find out the real time, and Robin tells him in about an hour. Robin leaves, and Patrick shuts his locker loudly, looking worried.

Jane tells Carly that Jax is involved with another woman, and this woman is trouble. Carly gets up and walks away angrily, and Jane follows her, proceeding to tell her about how bad this woman is. Carly tells her that if Jax is so stupid he deserves everything he gets. Jane defends Jax, and she tells Carly that Jax will only accept help from her. Carly asks how would she explain her presence in Africa, and doesn't think Jax would even want her help because he left her. Carly then goes on to talk about the postcard Jax sent her, and after Jane tells her it's the thought that counts, it dawns on Carly. JANE sent the postcard. Carly shakes her head and tells her that it doesn't matter anymore, because she has better things to do.

Sonny and Lorenzo continue their unfriendly banter at the hospital. Sonny asks if Lorenzo is trying to instigate him, to make him look lunatic. Lorenzo says he doesn't have to do anything, that Sonny put his own instability on display. Lorenzo tells Sonny that no one has to put time or effort into destroying him, he will do that himself.

Gwen, Patrick's old bed buddy, starts hitting on Patrick at the hospital, and asks him where he's been. He tells her he's been busy, and she says he can take her out to dinner, but dessert is on her. Patrick then tells her that he was exposed to AIDS in the OR. Gwen looks shocked, and actually takes a step back. She mumbles a couple of pleasant things to say and then hastily makes her exit. Patrick sighs and looks a little upset after she leaves.

Maxie tells Georgie that Lucky isn't a bad choice, and Georgie reminds her again that Lucky is MARRIED. Maxie serves a low blow when she asks about Georgie and Dillon's marriage, and then Georgie tells her that they made up. Georgie also warns Maxie to Maxie to wake up because she will get hurt in the end if she continues with Lucky.

Liz reminds Lucky of the vows they took, and how he promised to never sleep with another woman. Lucky tells her that Maxie wants him, unlike Liz, and that's why he slept with her. Lucky begins a jealous tirade about Patrick, and Liz becomes even angrier and tells him not to use his jealousy as an excuse, and tells him that she doesn't even know him anymore. Lucky goes on with his pity-party and goes on about Patrick, and Liz cuts him off by telling him he spat on their marriage vows and that she would gladly get out of the way if he wanted Maxie. Lucky says that she is happy that she now has an excuse to run to Patrick. Lucky begins searching for his pills in his pocket, and Liz pulls them out of her purse and throws them at him, saying he loves them more then he loves her before storming out of their apartment.

Sonny informs Lorenzo that he and Jason will not let him take over and warns him to be careful and prepare for the unexpected. Lorenzo leaves with one last crack at Sonny, and Sonny calls after him telling him that he can get Lainey to help him out. Lainey comes up behind him and tells him that was impressive, but asks how much of it was real.

Jane admits she sent the postcard, but the only reason she sent it was to keep hope alive. Carly says hope went out the door when Jax left her. Jane tells Carly that Jax has almost' called Carly tons of times, but he always hangs up before the call is through. Jane begs Carly again to come to Cairo with her, and Carly replies that Jax can be the one to crawl back. Carly also tells her that she would rather be alone with pride intact then be with the man she loves. She tells Jane about the bad experiences in her relationship with Sonny. Jane asks if Jax ever treated Carly badly, and Carly says no, she thought they were awesome together. Jane agrees, and asks why won't Carly answer Jax's call for help.

Lainey and Sonny are in his therapy session, talking about his altercation with Lorenzo. Sonny admits he has been taking his medicine, and Lainey tells him that he has been calmer in the past weeks, and that is progress. Sonny says he wants to continue, but he wants Lainey to come to his house instead. Lainey says no and tells him the whole point is to get him out of his comfort zone, and keeping him coming to her keeps him committed. Sonny starts going on about his business, and how coming to therapy makes him look weak, and she should start coming to his house. He quickly tells her it's not like what she thinks because he just broke up with Emily... but then asks her how she feels about casual dating.

Liz walks up to the nurse's station and finds Maxie, and Maxie starts into Liz about her and Patrick. Liz calls her a few choice words and then slaps her. Maxie accuses Liz of cheating on Lucky with Patrick, and asks why she can't give Lucky the attention that Liz has been giving Patrick? Liz tries to start a fight with Maxie, but Patrick comes and breaks them up.

Lainey tells Sonny she won't pretend to date him, no matter what. Sonny says they will have a situation because he has to look strong for his business. Lainey tells him that if he uses her refusal to go off his meds or stop coming to therapy, he will have another breakdown.

Carly tells Jane she is afraid Jax has moved on, and that she is afraid of being hurt. But Jane tells her that she is perfect for Jax, and that Jax is not Sonny. Carly is still slightly bitter that Jax left her without saying goodbye, and she won't jerk her kids around in her love life. Jane suggests that Carly brings her kids to Africa to find Jax. Jane compares herself to Carly, saying they are a lot alike. Jane goes on to talk about Jax's mistakes, but Carly wasn't one of them. She tells Carly that she has watched her son Jax lose at love over and over, but she thought Carly was different and would fight for him, but Jane realizes she was wrong, and is sorry she wasted Carly's time.

At the nurse's station Liz calls Maxie a tramp, and threatens to tell Mac about Maxie sleeping with Lucky. Maxie tells her to do what she wants, and stomps away. Patrick tells Liz he is sorry that Maxie and Lucky are sleeping together, and tells Liz that he had seen Lucky and Maxie kissing one night, but he didn't tell her because he didn't want to hurt her. Lucky walks in at that moment and sees Patrick placing a comforting hand on her back, and then leaves the hospital. Patrick leads Liz to the waiting room and asks her what she is going to do, and Liz tells him that it was the pain meds that made him do this, and that she is going to fight for him.

Lainey returns to her office and finds Lorenzo Alcazar inside, asking to make an appointment because he needs her help.

Patrick tells Robin about his experience with Gwen earlier, and Robin tells him that prejudice and ignorance come in all shapes and sizes.
