V. Ardanowski orders Jax to bring the plane down or she'll be forced to use her police weapon. He realizes she's only bluffing but lands the plane in a remote spot; informing her this is where she'll be staying while he takes off. Unfortunately mother nature does not agree with him and it looks like the two might be stranded.

Jason attempts to leave the hospital but is unsuccessful. His wounds reopen causing him to bleed; this freaks out Emily. Robin comes in and helps along with Amy. Jason tells Robin he needs to help Sonny. He's worried because there's no answer on the cell phone.

Bobbie tries to warn Katherine about the type of man Stefan is but she does not believe one word Bobbie is saying. Bobbie warns her not to cross Stefan.

As they speak Stefan shows up at Katherine's to find Nikolas there. He orders him back to the hospital to be checked out and then back to the house. Nikolas tells him he can no longer tell him what to do and that he wants his own privacy. Stefan tries to reassure him of his love and commitment to him but all Nikolas wants is to be away from Stefan. He also informs his uncle that he stayed at Katherine's upon her invitation. This takes Stefan by surprise and once again he yells at Nikolas. Katherine walks into the middle of all this and finds out exactly the type of man he is. Nikolas leaves and Stefan begins to get angry with Katherine. She tries to explain but he claims he's not sure if he can believe anything she says. Katherine orders him to leave after he tells her what she should have done.

Sarah and Nikolas meet up again at the old chapel and she tells him Alexis was looking for him. He tells her that he has quit his family and why; although he doesn't get into detail.

Ned & Alexis have an evening out together and there is definitely an attraction between the two.

Robin & Bobbie have a heart to heart conversation. Robin confides to Bobbie that she is afraid she's hurting Jason by not protecting him. She admits she doesn't like Jason working for Sonny and questions herself on her feelings. Bobbie offers whatever advice she could; she uses herself as an example. She also tells Robin to ask Jason questions and really listen to the answers. This might help her in whatever decisions she might want to make.

Jason is transferred to a new room. While talking he tells Robin that being shot isn't what hurts so much, it is being without her that hurts and he's glad she's home for the summer. She asks him to promise her that he'll always be careful-he says he will. He also tells Robin how the Quartermaine's treated him when he first came home. Jason receives a call from Joseph who gives him some information; although it's not about Sonny's whereabouts.

Brenda & Sonny awake and realize they are almost in Florida. Sonny thinks out loud about who is setting him up and why. They fall back asleep and Brenda dreams about being shot in the shower. (Sounds familiar). Sonny reassures her things will be OK and at that moment the truck comes to a stop and the two get off without being seen. They walk for a while and then plan to hitch hike; unfortunately Brenda has flagged down a cop.

Jax and V. Ardanowski spent the night on the island. They banter back and forth with Jax antagonizing her. He does apologize for trying to leave her there but says he's only trying to reach Brenda. Both blame each other for their situation but try to work together until they're rescued. The fighting stops but not for too long.

Sarah and Nikolas are at the hospital and back to work. He talks to her about LeslyLu and asks her opinion on what to but his sister for her birthday.

Alan goes to talk to Mac about Jason. Alan is the one to tell Mac that Jason tried to leave the hospital and he believes Jason was trying to go and look for Sonny. He asks Mac not to let Jason know right away if they receive any word on Sonny and Brenda; Mac agrees.

Alan goes to see Jason; Jason asks him about Robin and her status. Alan then proceeds to tell Jason he can't keep taking chances with his life and that he shouldn't continue to work for Sonny. Jason asks him to leave but Alan tells him he's not finished. Jason goes on to tell Alan that to him he is Robins doctor and although he may be his father, he is not his son.
