Act I
Sonny and Sam, having just made love, reiterate how much they like each other.

Carly tells Leticia she thinks Michael left the note.

Michael lies unconscious in the well.

Lorenzo tells Courtney she's a principled woman and that's why he's alive today. He always repays his debts. She suggests he leave town. She gets a call from Carly telling her that Michael disappeared and she can't find him anywhere. Lorenzo looks on as Courtney leaves.

Nikolas asks Mary why he shouldn't go to the service with her. She tells him that the dead guy's brother is a cop and he'll be there. Nik points out the army and the local cops are on different wavelengths and there's no danger but she thinks there is.

At the service Emily wants someone to give her a sign. Jason shows up. NewLulu shows up with Leslie. She doesn't understand death. Suddenly Helena shows up. Lucky wants Lulu out of there. Alexis and others look on.

Act II
Lulu, born August 8, 1994, doesn't look a day over eight. Anyways...

Ric approaches Alexis and says how sorry he is. Sarcastically she tells him she knows how close he and Nikolas were. He points out that Nik was close with his wife who couldn't be there. Alexis gives Ric her condolences on the end of his marriage.

Ric approaches Audrey who tells him while the baby's fine, Liz didn't mention him at all.

Dillon slides in and tells Justus and Skye not to tell Tracy he's there. Tracy can't find him.

Luke tries to support Lucky, who's grateful.

Ned tells Tracy not to use this opportunity to sharpen her claws.

Carly shows Courtney the note and they agree Michael wrote it. They try to find him.

Sonny tells Sam he wants to give her something -- anything she wants.

Nikolas grabs his coat and takes off.

Act II
Courtney tells Carly that they're going to have to call Sonny or at least Jason because they won't be able to find Michael on their own.

Sonny watches as Sam comes down the stairs. He tells her that the dress he bought her definitely will help her do Justus... er... she does it justice. They're about to head out when the phone rings. Carly tells him, "um, I lost Michael again".

At the memorial Alexis speaks about her nephew. She says she was holding her daughter last night trying to think of the best thing she could say about Nikolas. And she realized it was his capacity for love. She says that he loved people in spite of the fact they did everything to prevent it. <she looks pointedly at Helena, conveniently seated beside the other outcast, Mary>. Jason's cell phone vibrates. He takes off. Helena watches as Mary leaves. Mary heads off crying. Nikolas says she wants to tell them about the man she loved, just as Nikolas hesitates outside and begins listening.

Act IV
Emily gives her eulogy as Emily listens. Still promoting Disney, Emily gives us her rendition of "someday my prince will come". Luckily it's just spoken word. Alexis, sitting by Audrey, has tears in her eyes as Emily speaks. Helena suddenly stands up and says she's had enough of the sanctimonious garbage and that she's vowing revenge on every single person there. Does that mean Liz isn't subject to that since she skipped the service?

Mary returns home and worries when Nikolas is gone.

Sonny shows up at Carly's door. She tells him Courtney has the note. He turns around with his back to Courtney. Carly sighs, retrieves the note, and gives it to him. Jason shows up and plans to go check Michael's fort in the woods. Sonny tells Carly that she knows Michael -- was that intented to be a rhetorical question? -- and he won't give up until he gets what he wants or he gets hurt. They have to present a united front.

Act V
Sonny looks pointedly in Courtney's direction and instructs Carly he needs to speak to her alone. Courtney leaves but not before telling Sonny not to put his pride before the welfare of his own kids.

In the woods Jason finds Michael's stuff but can't find the kid. Michael's too weak to call for Jason loudly enough so he can hear him.

Lorenzo tells some guy that he wants to acquire waterfront property for his business. The guy says it won't be that easy. Lorenzo instructs him to make it that easy.

Outside, Lorenzo runs into Sam who accuses him of having stolen Michael. Lorenzo seems quite concerned and pumps Sam for details.

Helena rails out at the memorial service against Luke; Alexis; the Qs. Luke shuts her down, defending Alexis and Emily and then suggests she leave. Before she goes, Helena does manage to call Emily a mongrel child. Also the new Lulu resembles a very young Amber Tamblyn circa 1995.

Mary asks Nik why he left and went to the memorial when she asked him not to.

Act VI
Emily taunts Lulu with her engagement ring and tells her that Nikolas gave it to her -- but if she makes it to her twenty-first birthday, it's hers.

In the cabin, Nikolas tells Mary that he knows why she wanted to keep him away from the memorial service -- because listening to Emily's words had such a profound effect on him that he knows now that must have been what it was like for her when she was grieving him.

At the Qs Dillon tells Tracy he does not trust her now and will never trust her again.

At the lakehouse Skye tells Luke that sometimes he's not so bad. She gives him a quick kiss. He's flattered -- and there's lipstick on his face afterwards.

Carly tells Sonny they have to do what's best for their son.

Jason looks for Michael.

Michael is too weak to call out to Jason.

Ric meets with his guy who tells him that the paternity tests show Ned as the father.

Alexis, looking gorgeous, breezes into Kelly's and past Ric without a word or a look. Ric knows she's hiding something.

Preview
Jason calls out, "Michael can you hear me?" (Are we to assume he's been practicing, listening to Barbra and just substituting the name).

Sonny says to Carly, "you'd be with a man you hate just so your kids would be happy?" (Wanna bet this is followed by a "you're so strong and brave to agree to that").

Ric approaches Alexis in Kelly's and asks her what Sonny has on her.

Dillon tells Georgie he wants to start living in the moment.

Luke and Skye have Ross in the car (just like the time when Nikolas and Lucky had Dead Rick in the car) as the police ask them to pull over.
