Act I
Maxie helps Zander into the PC hotel. They make it to the stairwell
where he tells her of his plan to hop a train to Canada. He just needs
something for the pain - she heads off in search of it.

Edward asks Justus to change his will for him. Justus says it will cost
him. Jason shows up and Edward invites him & Courtney back into the
fold. Jason turns him down.

Carly shows up at the penthouse to see the boys. Sonny says no.
Michael is eavesdropping. Carly asks if she can take them to the zoo.
Sonny says no and kicks her out. He pushes over Morgan's pram. He
leaves the room. Michael shows up, rights the pram and looks
thoughtful.

Luke taunts Helena with fast food. She gives in and tells him the
treasure is in the bell tower at PC University.

Emily and Nik find the missing pages from the journal in Helena's
stuff.

Act II
Emily and Nik read the journal. Blackthorne & Constance didn't die -
instead they wound up on Spoon Island holed up in a secret room.

After Maxie leaves Zander struggles to shut the door. He collapses
from the pain in his leg.

Maxie finds drugs at the hospital. Alexis finds Cameron. She tells him
she's sorry about Zander. He tells her that he blames himself for
setting a chain of events in motion which have led to this happening to
his son. She says it's likely he's left town. Cameron says he wants to
make it up to him. Cameron sees Maxie stealing drugs and asks why.

Skye, in the most hideous gold outfit I think I've ever seen, is pouring
herself a cold one. Tracy shows up and Skye realizes she's the one
who sent last night's drink. Edward shows up and tells the girls about
his will change. Skye realizes that Tracy was just eliminating the
competition.

Act III
In a rare compliment, Edward kicks out Tracy to talk to Skye. He then
continues in his "nice" mode, telling Skye that Jax was never good
enough for her. He then goes on to say that perhaps he'll make her his
heir. Tracy eavesdrops from outside, shocked.

Luke returns and tells Helena that there was no treasure. She thinks
she's pretty smart -- until he tells her she'll be dead in 40 minutes
without the antidote. She doubles over in pain (didn't we come in at
this point about 2 years ago?) and he tells her time's a-ticking.

Jason returns to PH 4 and tells Sonny he wants to take the kids to the
zoo. Sonny's suspicious but acquiesces. They call Leticia and
promptly learn that the children are gone.

Michael & Morgan show up at the hotel and Carly is happy to see
them but surprised that they came there on their own.

Act IV
Skye doesn't believe a word of what Edward has to say. She leaves.
Tracy comes back in. Edward fakes a heart attack (deja vu, 24 years
ago). She calls him on his faking and he says that's why she'll never
get ELQ -- she'll never help him the way a daughter should.

Michael tells Carly he wants to fix things and make it all better. She
tells him that it's just not his job to do that, and that things will all work
out. Sonny and Jason bust through the door of the PC Hotel and see
the family in the lobby.

Cameron wants to examine Zander's leg. He doesn't want his father to
touch him. Cameron begs him to let him help him. Zander fights him...
then collapses in his arms as Cameron strokes his head.

Act V
Luke tells Helena she has to take him to the treasure or die.

Nik and Emily find the treasure.

Sonny tells Carly that he's filing a restraining order against her. She
tells him it's his fault the kids were out wandering the streets this time
of night. Jason takes the kids out; they snarl some more at one
another.

Tracy pours Skye another drink. She throws it in Tracy's face.

Cameron removes the bullet from Zander's leg and tells Maxie he'll be
all right if he starts on the antibiotics right away. She asks if he is
going to help his son or send him to jail.

Luke shows up with Helena in the secret treasure room but it's gone.
Nik shows up and says he knows what they're looking for but it isn't
there.

Act VI
Alexis meets Carly in the lobby at the PC Hotel. The lights flicker.
They both look around. Carly says that Sonny is trying to take her kids.
Alexis doesn't care. Carly asks if she'd want Sonny around her
daughter. She tells her no, but she wouldn't want Carly around her,
either. Alexis leaves after saying she will not act as Carly's lawyer.

Cameron, Maxie & Zander hide when they hear someone coming. It's
a janitor & Edward. The janitor tells Edward that the wiring is faulty
and needs to be replaced. He says that's the first change he'll make
when the cash rolls in.

Tracy thanks Coleman for showing up at her request. She tells him
he'll be hearing from her. Emily shows up and tells Tracy that she's got
great news -- she & Nik have found a way to save the Qs.

Luke tells Helena she isn't going to die. Nik invites Luke to an auction
of the treasure at the Versailles Room.

Sonny tells Justus the restraining order against Carly is a go -- he
wants a divorce and full custody.
