Patrick surprises Robin when he tells her he doesn't want to live in the apartment and wants to move back into the hotel. He explains that he thinks it was better when they didn't have to make decisions about furniture and could just be together whenever they wanted at the hotel. Robin realizes that he is trying to tell her in his own way that he doesn't want her to move in with him anytime soon. She tells him she understands that and won't pressure him anymore by buying furniture for him. Patrick still wants to move back into the hotel but makes it clear to Robin that he doesn't want to go back to his old lifestyle of being a playboy and wants to be with only her.

Sam explains to Jason that she picked up a home pregnancy test because she could be pregnant and she didn't want to wait and worry about it and wanted to know for sure. She goes upstairs and takes the test. Later, she comes downstairs and tells him it was negative. Jason tries to comfort her when he sees how disappointed she looks. She tells him that the bright side of all of this is they can keep on trying. Jason kisses and Sam backs off and tells him she has a job interview and can't be late. She worries about what to say when they ask her about her background or history and find out about her numerous arrests and shady past. Jason doesn't understand why she didn't stay with ELQ since she could avoid that background check. She tells him that she didn't want Edward to think that she was agreeing to have an heir for him and that she wants to get a job on her own without anyone else's influence. Jason respects that and wishes her luck. Sam shows up a Metro Court and fills out an application. She is introduced to Mr. Maddox, the new manager. He reads over her application. Sam tells him she didn't have enough room to write all of her history on it. He tells her that it is o.k. since they do a background check on all potential employees. He tells her that he has seen her talking at the hotel with Carly, one of the owners and asks her if she is friends with her. Sam doesn't want him to know she knows Carly personally and denies she knows her. Later, Mr. Maddox tells one of his employees that Sam doesn't have much job experience but that he is still going to do a background check on her anyway. The employee is surprised that Mr. Maddox doesn't know who Sam is. He asks Maddox if Sam's address looks familiar to him. He explains to Maddox that it is the same address where Carly has a car pick her up sometimes. He tells him that Sam is Jason Morgan's girlfriend. Maddox wonders why Sam lied to him. Later Sam heads to the coffee shop to see Jason. One of the men tells Sam that Jason is in a meeting with Sonny and will be right out soon. Sam orders a coffee and sits down. Sonny's lawyer Diane talks to her about her job hunting. Sam tells her that she wants to get a job on her own merit and not because she is Jason's girlfriend.

Alexis finishes what she thinks is her last round of chemotherapy. Epiphany comes in and checks on her. She can relate to what Alexis is going through since she went through chemo when she had breast cancer several years ago. Alexis' Oncologist, Dr. Trent comes in and looks grim. Alexis asks him if this is going to be her last chemotherapy session or not. He tells her that it has kept her alive so far. Alexis doesn't take the news well. Epiphany suggests to the doctor that he wait until all the tests come back before deciding if Alexis needs more chemo. Dr. Trent agrees with Epiphany that this can wait another day. Alexis goes home. Meanwhile, Ric shows up at Sonny's office and hands him a subpoena to testify in Molly's custody trial. Sonny tries to guilt trip him about doing this while Alexis is dealing with cancer. Sonny's lawyer, Diane comes in the room and argues with Ric about what he can and can't do in a court of law. Ric acts confident that he can get Sonny on the stand and list the many arrests, shootings, and killings Sonny has been involved with that would prove how much of a danger he is to be around children and show how this makes Alexis look like an unfit parent. Ric also tells him he won't have his daughter raised to feel second best because her mother loved Kristina's father and hated her father. Sonny suggests that he go see a shrink to get help for his psychosis. Later, Sonny tells Diane that he will talk to Alexis and try to get her to compromise with Ric over custody of Molly if she will get Ric to do the same. Diane reminds him she isn't a family court attorney but will do what she can. Later, Diane purposely runs into Ric at the hospital. She informs him that she is waiting to get an affidavit from Alexis' doctor to document her chemo treatments. Ric laughs and asks how that is relevant to the custody case. She tells him that she is sure that the timing of the chemotherapy and treatments will coincide with when Ric slept with her daughter, stole her job out from under her, and is now trying to take her other daughter away from her now. Ric is confident that he has a strong case for custody of Molly and that Alexis shouldn't have cut him off from his daughter. Diane tells him that he better hope that the judge assigned to the custody case doesn't have a child, friend, sibling, spouse, etc. who has suffered from cancer or he will lose this custody case. Ric seems affected by her words and seems worried. Meanwhile, Sonny shows up at Alexis' house to see her and tell her about Ric's visit. Alexis doesn't look well and tells him she is going to probably have to have more chemotherapy. Sonny asks her if she is alright. Alexis runs out of the room suddenly to throw up. She returns later to tell him she feels a little better. Sonny suggests to her that she try to compromise with Ric and come up with a custody agreement like they did with Kristina. Alexis tells him she will get better and she will fight Ric in court before letting him raise her daughter without her. Ric shows up at her house and watches her through the window. He is surprised when he watches her smoke a marijuana joint. Later, Sonny meets with Jason in his office. Sonny tells Jason he needs him to go find Carly and bring her back to Port Charles because he needs her to testify in court for Alexis at the custody hearing to say that he is a good father to his kids and would never put them in harm's way and that Molly was safe with them when she stayed with them. Jason surprises Sonny when he refuses to go after Carly and convince her to come back. He explains to Sonny that the marriage is one of convenience and that he can't force Carly to think of the marriage differently if she doesn't want to and he won't tell her what to do since he already did him a favor by convincing her to marry him in the first place.

Lucky and Rodriguez bust a drug dealer in his apartment. Lucky looks around as Rodriguez handcuffs the dealer and reads him his rights. He notices several bottles of Hydrocodone lying on the coffee table. He is tempted to steal one of them. Rodriguez asks him if he wants to trade places with him and let him take care of making inventory of the drugs and Lucky can take over bringing the dealer out to the squad car. Lucky gets very defensive and accuses Rodriguez of thinking he can't handle being around drugs and tells him he can handle it on a day to day basis. Rodriguez apologizes if he offended Lucky but thought that he was trying to watch Lucky's back for him like cops do. Lucky shrugs it off and leaves. Later, Liz has a talk with Epiphany, who advises her to be truthful with Lucky if she has dinner with him tonight so he knows where they stand. She suggests to Liz not to go out with him, hoping it will keep him away from the drugs because it won't help him. Lucky shows up at the hospital to see Liz. He tells her about the drug bust and how he was tempted to take the drugs but he didn't. Liz tells him she is proud of him and tells him she can have dinner with him. Lucky tells her she doesn't have to have dinner with him because she thinks he will take drugs if she says no to him. Liz tells him she wants to have dinner with him tonight. Lucky leaves and gets on the elevator. He takes out one of the bottles of pills he stole from the drug dealer's apartment and looks at it. Later, Liz runs into Jason at the coffee shop he owns with Sonny. She is drinking some tea and tells him the shop has more selections of tea than Kelly's has. He sits down with her. He tells her the tea is on the house and she thanks him. They talk and Liz thanks him for being there for her when she talked about Lucky at the park and tells him it is easy to talk to him. Jason tells her that it is because they trust each other. Liz tells him she hasn't always been truthful with him and talks about how you can't expect two people will be able to make things work unless both people want it to. She is about to tell him how she feels when he brings up trust being necessary in a relationship. She asks him if he trusts Sam. He tells her he loves Sam and wants her to be happy. Liz loses her nerves and wishes him the best with Sam and leaves.
