Act I

Port Charles Hotel, 12:25 AM
Sonny stumbles into the Versailles Room with Jason and Courtney.

On the ground, Ned and Alan question Lucky who says that the helicopter only holds seven people at a time.

Panic ensues in the Versailles Room until Luke fires a gun and informs everyone that they have one way to save their lives.

Act II

Luke, with a gun, and apparently Ric's blessing, tells people how it's gonna be: they'll all draw numbers in a lottery. The people with the lower numbers go first. He says there will be no buying/selling/trading of numbers.

Ric and Capelli help Brian onto the first flight with four teenagers and two children.

On the ground, Alan and Ned hope Emily and Monica are on the first flight but Lucky doesn't know.

Emily draws #32; Nikolas #34; Courtney #31. Carly says she's #23. We don't learn anyone else's numbers. Courtney hugs Carly and Carly says she hopes Sonny has a lower number than her so that he can go be with the boys. Sonny tells Jason if he survives and Sonny doesn't, to make sure his children never think of Lorenzo as their father. Jason comes over to talk to Courtney.

Act III

Edward's #9; Jason's #8; Helena's #11; Luke's #7. On the roof, Luke & Tracy leave, but not before Skye runs up to kiss Luke goodbye.

On the ground, Dillon hugs Ned; Georgie hugs Ned; Georgie hugs Lucky. They worry the chopper won't be able to go back for everybody.

Upstairs, Faith's number is called. She kisses Justus goodbye after telling him that if he dies tonight he can rejoice in the fact that she will be joining him in Hell before too much longer.

Justus convinces Edward to leave on his flight; he doesn't want to go.

Capelli says that Jason is not leaving because he just killed a cop.

Act IV

On the ground, Georgie wants Dillon to get checked out by the medics but he says he's waiting for Tracy. She leaves with Tom. Tracy comes down and embraces Dillon and Ned.

Luke stumbles down; Lucky's so glad.

Upstairs, Jason says that he will agree to go on the last flight if Courtney can take his place on this one. Ric says OK. Courtney makes Jason promise to live through this; she kisses her husband goodbye.

Jax repels off the building and crashes through a window below. He sends the harness back up for Sam. Sam tries to decide if she can do this.

Act V

So you know how everyone has someone to meet them on the ground? So I'm wondering -- who is down there to meet Courtney? And they've brought in Mike, whom we haven't seen yet in this ridiculous CE. She whines to him.

Dillon, Sage and Tom hang out at the hospital talking to Bobbie. Brian is about to have his bullet removed and he tells Bobbie all he cares about is that Courtney is still up there.

Luke blames Edward for this whole mess.

Jax and Sam are safely ensconced in the floor below where they started.

Capelli is allowed, by Ric, to lead a handcuffed Jason through the burning building.

Sonny and Carly are talking. Lorenzo wants to interrupt. Justus won't let him. Then the floor gives way and they fall through it.

Act VI

Skye and Luke decide to forget what happened to them on the roof

Courtney is told that Carly and Sonny are dead

Capelli leaves Jason cuffed to a stairwell

Carly wakes up in Sonny's arms as Lorenzo looks on

Maxie tells Georgie they have to be strong -- Mac's been hurt. Dillon watches the tearful exchange between the girls.

Emily doesn't want to leave but Nikolas convinces her to. As the chopper takes off the roof explodes in flames.

Courtney attacks Ric when she sees him looing all happy with Elizabeth.

Brian is relieved to learn Courtney is OK

Courtney tells Sam that Sonny's dead
