Skye says he's afraid of committment. She storms off. Luke pours himself a stiff drink. He then yells at Dillon to leave, too.

Mary tells Nikolas that the search helicoptor is outside and that if he wants to surrender himself, he should go do it now.

Act VI
In the limo on the way home Sam tells Jason that when she and Sonny first started, she was just in it for the sex. Had she known she'd develop feelings for him, she'd have pulled out much sooner. Jason tells her to go for it if she wants.

Emily tells the assembled crowd at the PCPD that it was someone's camping gear caught on a branch -- not Nikolas.

At the hospital, Sonny watches Carly rock the baby.

At the penthouse Sam asks Jason how long he's planning on staying. He says he'll stay until further notice because Sonny asked him to. She says he hates being ordered to do stuff and when she is given an order, she does the opposite of what she's asked to do.

Luke comes and finds Skye on the docks. He tells her that no matter what -- he wants to try things with her.
