Act I
Seriously I don't know how much more of Emily's blinking that I can take. Nikolas asks if he would help her to tell him about Nikolas. She asks why he'd want to hear about Nikolas. Apparently it's a contest to see how many times they can collectively say the name "Nikolas" during the conversation. Emily tells Nikolas what it was like to grow up with Nikolas and fall in love with Nikolas. Nikolas thinks Nikolas must have been an awesome guy. Emily tells Nikolas that Nikolas was.

Lorenzo taunts Mary by telling her that part of Nikolas remembers who he was and that she won't be able to hold onto him. She reiterates that the Cassadines were... well... crazy, and he tells her that she can't keep him in a life he doesn't belong in.

Things are in full swing at the party. Alexis reassures Alan about Skye's case. Edward tells her that he thinks she'll tank the case. She says she won't. Ric shows up and even sober, Alexis finds it impossible to prounce the word narcissistic. Ric is amused.

Faith strides in and tells Ric he'll never win out over Sonny.

Sonny tells Jason he's going to the party. He shows up at the party and Jax tells him to go away.

Sam wants to go the party but Jason says that they are staying home from the party.

Act II
Alexis is in a chocolate brown dress, elegantly low-cut, with neckline that goes behind her neck. Kind of like the shape of the Puerto Rico dress.

Courtney finds Sonny and Jax disagreeing about who should go inside. She tells Jax that Sonny's her brother and he's welcome. Sonny gives Jax that grin, and heads downstairs. Courtney tells Jax they have to talk.

Sam tries to convince Jason that it's best for them to start acting like an engaged couple in public -- starting with this party tonight.

Nikolas tells Emily that he feels like he's known her for a long time and suggests perhaps they knew one another by osmosis. He tells her that Mary's built her life around their marriage and he can't help but want to abide by her wishes. Emily says she knows precisely how to handle Mary.

Act III
Georgie tells Dillon he doesn't have to give up the video project -- she'll leave. Sage shows up and Dillon tells her that while he'll be her director she won't get him any other way.

Jax tells Courtney it's not a good idea to have Sonny there. She asks not to make him choose between these two men.

Sonny tells Alexis that anything he told her when she worked for him is protected under lawyer/client privilege and that she could be disbarred if she tells Ric. Alexis reassures Sonny that she and Ric have never been on the same side of any issue and his sole purpose is to antagonize her. Sonny says that she always thought she was smarter than everyone else, and Ric feels the same way. They should get along fine.

Jax and Courtney try to charm the crowd. Tracy compares Courtney to a prom queen; Faith says she's about as interesting too. Tracy and Edward unwittingly donate a bunch of money to the foundation. Jason and Sam enter behind Courtney and Jax, thus hogging the spotlight.

Act IV
Some guy asks Maxie about Lynn. He claims he's her dad. She thinks he's lying and says she wouldn't tell tell him even if she knew something. Lynn watches. Lynn quickly packs and bag and prepares to leave when she bumps into Georgie who begs for her help with Sage.

Sage plays the poor put-upon rich girl card with Dillon. She says she doesn't know if she will ever be able to sing. Dillon tells her he's not going to fall for this.

Sam and Jason inform the Qs about their impending parenthood.

Alcazar shows up at the party.

Jason and Sam dance; Courtney and Jax dance.

Ric goes over the guest list with Sonny and asks who he wants to shoot first. Sonny says he'd like to start with him.

Act V
Lynn tells Georgie she has to keep a low profile. Georgie asks if there's anything she can do to convince her to stay in town. She says there's one thing.

Dillon accuses Sage of manipulating the situation to be near him. See that huff? Yeah, Sage left the studio in it.

Nikolas manages to get past the guards & security and break into Jason's penthouse, narrowly missing the framed photo of him & Emily.

At the party, Alexis tells Sonny and Ric that people are starting to stare and that she doesn't want this ruined for Courtney. They break it up. Sonny exits and heads over to Jason while Ric accuses Alexis of using every excuse possible to get closer to Sonny.

Monica heads over to talk to Jason. Jax insults Sam and Courtney and Jason punches him. Courtney asks Jason to leave. Lorenzo looks on.

Act VI
Georgie lies to Lynn's father. He looks in on her afterwards and sees that she lied when Lynn emerges.

Sam tells Court that Jason sent the million dollar cheque and Jax took credit for it.

Lorenzo meets up with Sonny outside Kelly's where Lorenzo asks where Carly is tonight.

Dillon is playing Lynn's music when Sage returns and says she wants to try again.

Jason returns to his shadowy apartment and pulls out a gun.
