Stefan confronted Nikolas about being in Switzerland and Nikolas revealed that he was the one who Stefan had almost knocked over the cliff. Stefan was near tears when Nikolas told Stefan that he saw him for what he really was. Nikolas felt disgusted by the Cassadines and Stefan attempted to make amends. A skeptical Nikolas, however, was not convinced that Stefan was sincere and intimated that he knew what had happened to Katherine. Meanwhile, AJ scared Carly by recalling more of their night together. Tony and Luke alienated Bobbie at the custody meeting. Justus and Tony deduced that AJ might know the identity of the person who had sent the custody papers. Tony came back home to Carly and feared that she had sent Bobbie the papers. Jason told Sonny and Brenda that Dorman was missing. Jason was infuriated after he figured out that Dorman had used a copy of Emily's diary to get dirt on the Quartermaines, but Sonny told him calm down.

Bobbie overheard Nikolas and Stefan's argument and learned that Stefan had inadvertently pushed Nikolas off the mountain in Switzerland and that it was Luke who had saved Nikolas's life. Nikolas told Stefan that he finally saw him for who he really was and left. Bobbie confronted Luke and he learned that it was Stefan who had put Nikolas in danger. Luke speculated with Bobbie about Stefan's agenda and made it clear that he loved her, but was unsuccessful in convincing her to some back to the Spencer side. In search of Nikolas, Stefan visited Katherine and explained his escapades in Switzerland. Katherine told Stefan that Nikolas knew that he was the one who had shot her. Nikolas called Laura and they talked about their problems. Both were in tears when they wished that they could have started their relationship over and Laura told Nikolas that she and Stefan loved him. Meanwhile, Tony confronted Carly and asked her if she was the one who had mailed Bobbie Lucas's custody papers. Carly's vehement denials only seemed to further Tony's suspicions and he insisted they ask AJ to confirm if she was in Justus's office that day. Carly finally cracked and came clean with the truth. Carly tried to justify her actions, but her excuses fell on deaf ears. Tony became too disgusted for words and packed his things and left a shattered Carly behind. Fearing that Monica knew too much about Dorman, Jason went to the Quartermaine mansion in search of her. Meanwhile, Monica got ready to lobotomize Dorman, but was interrupted when Alan paged her. Monica tried to assure a dubious Jason that everything was fine, but he managed to learn her location and rushed out of the house with Mac on his heels.
