Act I
Dillon meets Ashley B -- L&B's new "talent". The two hate each other immediately. She treats her mother like her assistant and Georgie like a slug.

Nikolas introduces himself to Lorenzo as Connor. When he tells Lorenzo that he had a head injury recently, Lorenzo says that must be liberating.

Carly tells Sonny she can't believe she ever was attracted to him. She tells him she'll take the guest room and she won't see her lover at the PH if Sonny doesn't either.

Sam lies about why she's sick. Jason doesn't buy it.

Act II
Lorenzo tells Nikolas he's envious of the chance he has to forget about his past mistakes and start with a clean slate. Nik says he never thought someone could put a positive spin on it. Lorenzo hands him his card and tells him to call him if he's ever looking for a job.

Courtney and Emily chat it up at the hospital.

Carly tells Sonny that while she may be moving back in with him she won't follow his rules.

Sam tells Jason she knows that with Sonny & Carly living under the same roof they'll inevitably get back together. Once that happens she'll leave town and that'll be it. Jason doesn't buy it.

Ashley B demonstrates her video concept, thereby giving Dillon a migraine. He begs her to stop. Georgie tries to run interference.

Act III
Jason returns to the penthouse and is surprised that Sam's still there. He tries to kick her out and she stands up to him and tells him this is hard for her. Jason says that she'll never share the kind of bond Sonny has with Carly -- the mother of his children.

Sonny assures Carly he'll never hurt Michael again. Michael asks if they're fighting. They deny it.

Georgie takes Ashley aside and asks what her favorite movies has been lately. When she brings up "Moulin Rouge", Georgie makes Ashley feel like Satine and tells her that Dillon just wants her to be the star. Ashley likes that idea.

Act IV
Ashley's new idea is a reworked version of Dillon's -- via Georgie. Dillon can't stop accepting credit for the idea which makes Ashley pretty mad.

Carly tells Courtney that sure it'll be hard to be with Sonny knowing he's seeing Sam on the side but hey, she'll suffer for her children because she's just *that* good of a mother.

Sam returns to her boat and has a flashback of happier times. She looks at the pregnancy pamphlet again.

Jason tells Sonny he's not comfortable lying to Michael. Sonny says that Michael won't know they're lying because he's a kid and therefore desperate to believe what he wants.

Act V
Mary returns to the church and Nik presents her with windchimes. She's upset that he went to the store. She finds Lorenzo's card and becomes rattled when Nikolas admits he talked to him.

Sonny tells Jason he can't fall back in love with Carly -- it'd kill him. Jason says to either get the divorce or get back with Carly but keeping both women in limbo is a bad idea.

Sam visits a doctor. She explains that she doesn't want to make things harder for Sonny or Michael and keeping this baby would only succeed in doing that. The doctor asks about adoption or raising it as a single mom but Sam's not really interested in those ideas.

Act VI
Jason comes upon Courtney visiting Michael. Courtney turns to go but Michael asks that she stay. Michael tells her of his vision -- him, Morgan, Mommy & Daddy in their old house with Courtney and Jason coming by to visit all the time.

Carly rocks Morgan and tells him they're moving home to Daddy's. Well, a prospective Daddy's, at least...

Sam returns to the doctor's office and says she's decided to terminate the pregnancy. The couselor heads out to get the doctor when Emily shows up and asks Sam what she's doing there.

Sonny goes to Sam's boat and fingers the dress that he bought her.

Nikolas reassures Mary that the reason he's in a good mood was because Lorenzo put a new spin on their situation. She's grateful but still worried. Nikolas tells her he saw her with her friend Emily and that he almost came over and saw her. Mary looks worried but Nik says he knows that his presence has to remain a secret. Mary says sometimes secrets and lies are better than the truth

Georgie tells Dillon that Ashley is his ticket to the big time but if he continues to be mean to her, that won't happen. She says as much as they hate having to placate her, they must -- they're the ones who will win in the end. Dillon agrees with her but still hates the fact that this is what has to happen. Dillon pulls her in for a "Hollywood Kiss" (tm: Sex & The City). She giggles.
