Act I
Zander shows up at Cameron's grave and apologizes. He says he never meant for any of this to happen. In a character assassination the likes of which we haven't seen since... well the last time the writers screwed up someone I enjoy... it is revealed that a man came downstairs and found Zander. He's coincidentally dressed in nearly the same thing Zander was, so Zander knocks him out and SETS HIM ON FIRE as he's unconscious. Zander apologizes for setting the fire.

Felicia, Georgie et al are happy when Mac can speak again and is returned to the hospital. He says he just woke up at Mercy.

Dillon is told he has the swing vote on who should run ELQ. He kicks everyone out and is left alone with Luke who asks what he wants to do.

There is an explosion in the courtroom after the judge agrees to joint custody. Max tells Sonny it was his car. He and Jason head off. Sonny asks if Carly's OK. It's then that they notice Lorenzo hasn't gotten up yet.

Act II
Still delusional, Zander tells his father's grave that the only times he can remember being happy in life is when he was with Pete, and with Emily. He promises not to waste the second chance he's been given, and that he & Emily will name the baby Cameron if it's a boy, and he will know his grandfather had a good side. So now apparently Zander plans to keep Liz' baby in addition to his other crimes? I can't believe this! Oh wait, it's GH of late -- of COURSE I can.

At the hospital Mac says all he remembers is being given a sedative, and then waking up at Mercy. Georgie and Felicia want to know why but Maxie is just happy that Mac's back and thinks they should leave it at that.

In the courtroom Alexis asks the judge if there's any chance he's going to change his mind about joint custody, since the children would have been obliterated if they'd been with Sonny. Justus says a decision has already been made. Sonny asks them to quite arguing.

Luke tells Dillon to do what he wants. Skye and Tracy try to see what's going on inside.

Act III
Zander breaks into Wyndemere and touches a photo of Nik & Em. He hears Liz show up. He hides. Em shows up and thanks Liz for coming so quickly.

Lucky tells Felicia that she needs to let this mystery go and focus on Maxie who needs her. Lorenzo is brought in muttering Carly's name.

In the courtroom Alexis steps back and is totally in the background as Sonny tells the judge he wants to put his boys' safety first and grant Carly full custody.

Dillon tells the Qs to leave him alone and let him think. Tracy calls someone and says she has a job that only they can do.

Act IV
Dillon thanks Georgie for meeting him and says he needs to figure some stuff out. She says she'd like to help.

Tracy tells Sage that she needs to find incriminating information on Georgie to use to blackmail Dillon -- if she doesn't, Tracy will send him to military school. So Dillon's old enough to vote -- but young enough his mom can decide to send him away?

Zander listens as Emily goes on ad nauseum about her love for Nikolas and how bad she feels about the negative way it impacted Zander. Liz listens sympathetically.

Sonny gives all custody to Carly, then exits the courtroom as Courtney and Justus tell him he did a good thing.

Still inside, Alexis tells Carly she assumes this concludes their business and that in about five minutes this bizarre mating ritual of the world's most narcissistic couple shall begin anew. Carly admonishes her -- Alexis ought to be nice. Alexis says she can go to hell.

Act V
Skye and Luke flirt some more.

Dillon and Georgie compliment each other. He helps her on with her coat. Their hands brush. Sage looks in on them and realizes she has to separate them for good. She manages to stop short of rubbing her hands together and cackling wildly though.

At the courthouse Sonny tells Carly he'll miss the boys. Courtney shows up. Sonny leaves. Courtney suggests Carly put the boys first. She says she will -- and that includes dumping Lorenzo, as much as it may hurt.

Act VI
Mac tells Felicia he can see the wheels turning -- he knows she wants to investigate this and he begs her not to. She counters by telling him she would've been home sooner had she known there were such massive problems.

Georgie compares crazy relatives to those depicted in the 1995 Holly Hunter/Robert Downey Jr./Claire Danes film "Home For The Holidays". Dillon says he likes how she always compares life to film now. He says that quite often great films have a great second act. They kiss. Sage calls Tracy and tells her she'll do anything to tear that b**ch apart.

Jason tells Courtney it's not right that joint custody wasn't handed out. Courtney says that Carly said Sonny can see the boys whenever possible and Jason's stillnot satisfied.

Sonny holds Morgan and tells Michael they're going to live with Carly.

At the hospital Carly prepares to dump Lorenzo but asks why he won't look at her. "It's a hell of a thing," he says calmly. "I'm blind".

Emily looks lovingly at the photo of her and Nikolas. Zander approaches from behind.
