Chloe prepared a special evening for Stefan. She cooked his favorite Greek food and dessert to thank him for taking care of her in the cave. As Stefan watched from outside the French doors of the villa, he was pleasantly surprised to see Chloe setting the table. The conversation started about Helena, but Stefan quickly changed the topic and told Chloe that they should enjoy her extraordinary supper and forget about Helena this evening. Then Chloe proposed a toast: May tonight bring back only Happy memories. Stefan complimented Chloe on her Greek cooking because it was very close to what he had as a child. After dinner Stefan asked Chloe to dance and she accepted. They began dancing and little by little the two became closer and closer. Chloe, however, began to reminisce about Jax and started to cry. She pulled away from Stefan and he asked if everything was all right. She replied that she was okay it was just hard. Stefan immediately realized it was Jax and tried to comfort her. Chloe kissed Stefan, thanked him, and retreated to her room.

At the hospital Tony ran into Bobbie. He immediately got into it about her forgetfulness. Bobbie told Tony she left a note on his desk about Lucas. Tony responded with he never got a note. The tone of the argument escalated a little before Bobbie extinguished it by saying do you want to spend the afternoon with Lucas or not. Tony said yes, and he would pick up Lucas.

As the two sit and wait for the wedding planner, Eldon, Carly arrives at the door. Emily leaves, but does congratulate Carly on her marriage to Sonny. Then Carly told Alexis that she came over to help with the wedding. Alexis was horrified at first, but later realized that she could use all the help she could get.

Roy and Luke were working on accounting matters in his office when Roy told him that the club was broke. Roy gave Luke an "I told you so" because he begged him not to stop the card table in the back. Right after Roy finished that statement officers from Interpol and the IRS busted into Luke's office and informed him that they had taken control of all his assets domestic and foreign, not to mention the ice princess. Luke was enraged. He told them repeatedly that the ice princess was his and that it was a gift. It did not belong to Helena Cassadine. The officers informed Luke that Helena had legal papers showing that she owned the stone, but Luke refused to give up. Meanwhile during this discussion, Felicia showed up at Luke's to give Roy his cell phone. Roy leads the officers to another location to look at the books while Felicia and Luke started talking. Felicia read Luke well because he was working on a plan for Cruella de Cassadine. He offered Felicia a position and then remembered that she was staying put for her two children. She worked so hard to turn Luke down and barely made it out the door because Felicia was ready to start on another adventure with Luke.

He told herhe had the Ice Princess all this time. She asked him if Helena wasbehind it. He was told no, but there was no telling with these CivilServants. She told him not to worry about the support payments because if things went the way she wanted he would be coming to her for money.

They would have his voice on tape. Luke told him not to worry.He said justice would be served when Helena, wearing a garbage bag,was tottering down the street pushing a shopping cart with all herworldly goods in it. Seeing her penniless and destitute would make itall worthwhile. He had to steal the Ice Princess back. Roy finallyagreed he would help.

Liz assured Lucky that she wanted him to take the room at Kelly's; that she wanted him as close as possible.

He wasjiggling the door knob and his towel dropped to the floor just as Lizshowed up.
