Act 1
Carly asks Lorenzo why he would try to help her this way. He says that she made it obvious how far she'd go to keep her children by setting her personal hatred for Alexis aside and hiring her. Carly doesn't see how they got from her wanting to be with her children to him setting a bomb in the limo. She tells him to get out of her house and he says he won't go until she understands.

Edward announces to Skye, Edward & Tracy that Tracy's power of attorney expires at midnight and he will have control of ELQ back by then.

At the hospital, Monica shows Dillon the pay & peek photos of Georgie, completely naked, in the shower.

In a tag that makes me go hmmm, we cut to Sam, barely dressed, with Sonny at the PH. He asks her to stay. She doesn't know why.

Dillon tells Monica that Georgie would never do this because it's too conniving and cunning -- but he knows who would. He finds Sage and asks her how she could have possibly done this.

Nikolas eavesdrops as Mary returns Em's scarf. He realizes she lied to him. Lucky looks thoughtful, then he and Emily leave. Nik confronts Mary about her lie.

Act II
Sage tells Dillon she sure hopes Georgie made people pay *before* they viewed the photos. Dillon gives her a dirty look. Dillon asks Monica to give him some time to find out Georgie's side of things before she tells anyone. Monica says she's known Georgie her whole life and she'll give her the benefit of the doubt. Sage plants seeds of doubt in Dillon's mind by telling him sometimes we don't know people's secret lives.

Sam tells Sonny she's falling in love with him and if that love is a burden or he doesn't want it, she'll leave. Sonny holds her face in his hands and kisses her.

Carly tells Lorenzo that for all she knows, he's been faking his blindness. He tells her that's just not true. She tells him she doesn't believe a single thing he ever said to her and what's more, she never will. They are completely over; he obliterated any chance they had to be together and she wants him to go, right now.

Act III
Lorenzo tells Carly that he loved her and that she was beginning to care for him. She tells him that's not true. He says the proof is irrefutable. She looks confused. Guess she's never heard that word before. She screams for him to get out. He slams the door and says he's not leaving.

Mary tells Nik that the reason she lied about Emily and the scarf is because she wanted to make things all right for him. She didn't want him to feel threatened; she wanted him to feel safe there. He says that he might not remember what they were to one another but he'd like to believe at the very least, they were honest. She tells him they were and that the real Boston scarf is in the bottom drawer of their bureau. He says he believes her but questions why she's still so sad.

Sonny takes Sam up to his bedroom. They enter the room slowly. They kiss. They're moving towards the bed when she says "we have to wait".

Act IV
Carly tells Lorenzo that she won't forgive him. He says that he was no more calculating in doing what he did than she was in choosing to stay with him because he was blind. He says that being single-minded about things has gotten him a lot in life and that he fell back on the same tactics in order to get her children for her. She says she came to him for inner peace after the turmoil with Sonny and that he shouldn't have repaid her this way.

Sam tells Sonny that neither of them take the idea of moving in together lightly and they have to be sure. She says that most of all she's scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of her whole life the way she feels when she's with him. They begin to make love.

Dillon busts through the door and accuses Tracy of doing the photos with Sage. Tracy doesn't deny it.

Mary tells Nikolas what it was like when she found out her husband had died; the hell she went through. She says that what he sees in her face now isn't sadness -- it's fear that he'll be taken from her a second time.

Act V
Sonny has a dream that Carly shows up in his bedroom (with Sam asleep by his side) asking for another chance which he grants her. The only good part about this scene is that from far away and behind, Sam almost looks like another person. (Not Carly, either).

Carly tells Lorenzo he's the worst thing that ever happened to her. She says it's over. He says it's not that simple.

Tracy tells Dillon she'll wreck Georgie's life unless he votes with her.

Act VI
Sonny walks down the stairs and sits on the steps, dreaming, I'm sure, that there's a different woman awaiting him upstairs than the one who actually is. Sam joins him on the steps and they wonder if they can give each other what they need.

Lorenzo tells Carly he'll go for now, but that he'll never be out of her life. He starts to walk out when she clocks him over the head with a blunt object and then laughs at herself and her own stupidity.

Nikolas tells Mary he's never admitted how hard this must be for her, and that they're going to switch roles now -- he'll take care of her. She seems pleased.

Dillon shows up just in time to vote for Tracy, then leave.
