Act I
Zander hallucinates that Emily is there to help him get away and stay with him in Canada.

Michael wants to go see Brian -- his friend -- but Jason tells him that he's not his friend.

Carly is served with a restraining order keeping her away from the children.

Sam tells Sonny about Jason's million dollar offer.

Edward tells Nik and Emily to stop flaunting their affair in public. Edward then suggests that Dillon might be his heir; Dillon wants nothing to do with it. After he leaves Edward dubs him "Peter Pan With A Movie Camera".

Maxie meets up with Georgie at Kelly's where she introduces her to "Tom". Georgie asks if Tom wants to spend the night with her at the PC Hotel. He thinks that means they're having sex; Georgie looks at him like he's insane.

Courtney and Jason both explain to Michael that Brian used him; that he's not really their friend and that he needs to stay away from him. Michael tells Brian he's not his friend anymore because it's his job to hurt Daddy.

Bobbie looks at Morgan and tells Courtney she needs to calm Sonny down because Carly shouldn't miss a moment of her children's lives. (Unlike the millions of moments she lost when she was doing other stuff when she actually HAD full custody).

Lorenzo tells Carly she's a good mother; she understands the need to nurture. Carly wants to take the kids and run; Lorenzo says they have to make Sonny look bad by "fighting back intelligently". I'm pretty sure this scene isn't supposed to actually make me LOL just by the sheer dialogue...

Sonny tells Sam that Jason's got a soft spot for Carly & cares about their marriage a great deal. He tells her that he wanted to prove to Jason that Carly couldn't be loyal by having sex with her while his best friend was out getting shot. He came in; they were there; he was bleeding... he knew she was poison. He doesn't know how he let himself forget. Sam asks if Jason still loves Carly. Jason says it's nothing romantic; he's just overprotective. Sonny promises to make sure that Jason never approaches her again.

Act II
Emily tries to freak Tracy out about who will inherit. Tracy can't seem to see it.

Maxie shows up with food from Kelly's for Zander. Ric happens to be there, questioning her. Cameron shows up and covers for her. He spirits her away and Maxie leaves with him gratefully.

Carly meets the lawyer Lorenzo hired for her. The lawyer says she's litigated hundreds of custody cases. She looks not a day past twenty-two, but hundreds, apparently.

Sam sees the headline about the pirate treasure being auctioned off and immediately begins to formulate a plan. This all changes when Sonny starts kissing her though.

Jason tells Brian that he wants him to stay away from his family.

Act III
Tom's not really into the idea of spending the night in a hotel room with Georgie without getting some sex. Georgie says she'll write his English paper but he really doesn't care. He tells her he'd rather go watch the game at Jimmy's and that she should just get back together with Dillon. Dillon shows up and Georgie tells him she's got something to tell him which is going to change everything between them -- and it's about Tom.

Carly and her lawyer talk; Sonny and Justus do the same. Both parents (and I use that term loosely) come to the conclusion that once they get the kids to themselves everything will be fine.

Maxie brings Zander food. A hotel worker shows up to check on the sparking electrical system.

Jason listens as Courtney tells him of her worries that Michael and Morgan will grow up hating everyone around them and only trusting Sonny and Jason. She seems worried; Jason? Not so much.

Act IV
The electrician takes a look at the circuitry. She then comes out and tells Edward that the new security system is overloading everything and the next time someone turns on a hairdryer the whole place could blow.

Cameron tells Alexis that he'd like for her to take his son's case. She tells him it's a conflict of interest. He tells her that he's holed up in the basement of this hotel with a gun and that he's desperate: she's the last hope.

Maxie tries to keep Zander calm.

Sage shows up with her brand-new DVD copy of "Desperate Sunrise" for Dillon. Georgie and Dillon are just about to finally relay their feelings at her interruption. Georgie, angry, tells Dillon that Tom's taking her to the PC Hotel early for their Valentines Day present. Sage suggests that she and Dillon get a room there too. Tom shows back up and Georgie tries to convince him to spend the night with her.

Act V
Alexis tells Cameron that Zander's his son -- he should be the one helping him. Cameron says he doesn't think Zander will listen to anyone but her.

Zander tells Maxie he's going to Canada when this is over -- it's where he should've gone from the start.

Edward tells the electrician that it's her job to make sure the security system is working during the auction and if that doesn't work out he's firing her.

Michael reacts coldly to Sonny at the park. He heads off to Jason's truck and Jason goes with him. Sonny's playing with Morgan when Carly shows up. Sonny tells her to not even think about it.

Act VI
In the park Sonny tells Carly to go away. Not listening to him, she picks up the kid. Lorenzo shows up. So does Lucky. Panicked Sonny finds the restraining order and hands it to Lucky who then arrests Carly.

The electrician tells Ric that the system could blow up and result in a fire.

Jason tells Michael that he doesn't know who he'll wind up living with.

Brian tells Courtney he knows she shot him but he said it was Zander in order to protect her.

Alexis and Cameron show up to see Zander. He thinks they've turned on him. He takes Maxie hostage and tells them that if they don't leave them alone he'll shoot her. Alexis tells him nothing's been decided yet.

Preview

Sonny tells Lorenzo to stay away from his family

Courtney tells Jason that Brian says he's in love with her

Sonny tells Jason this Beck problem needs to go away (wouldn't it be funny if he were referring to Beck the singer? "I'm a loser babe... so why don't you kill me")
