Jason heads inside the penthouse and finds Sam sleeping on his couch.

Luke attacks a camera man after Ric gives a press conference about the fact that Laura's wanted for questioning. Ric takes him aside and asks if he honestly thinks he's helping his wife's case with the men who are looking for Laura.

When Courtney turns her head to Jax' shoulder in her sleep he puts his arm around her. She starts awake and tells him he's cheating. She finds it hilarious that Jax is going to aim all his lame moves at her.

Jason tells Sam that Brenda bought the peppermint tea He then elaborates on how they came to be married because he was doing a favour for Sonny. Sam asks if that's what he's doing now.

Carly tells Sonny she's going back to work.

Act II
Lorenzo shows up for a meeting with Faith where she informs him she plans to blow Sonny's world apart -- and asks him not to interfere. Carly shows up and wants to know what's going on.

Skye hears a noise. Someone is watching her. She reaches for a weapon and tucks it into her red sleeve.

Sam tells Jason that she wishes that he would, just once, say what he really wants. He says he wants to be her baby's father. He tells her that she'll learn how to be a parent.

Sonny tells Michael what it was like when he was a small boy. Michael is worried because things seem like they did before everything went to pieces. Sonny says that while one can't avoid the bad stuff, if you shut yourself in a room you miss even the chance for the good stuff.

Act III
Skye locks the mysterious blonde in that room on the outside of the boat where Tracy Q (I think) got stuck once.

Jax and Courtney step off the plane and he tells her they've got another date tonight. She protests but he says it's part of the deal.

Jason informs Sonny how Sam wants to give up the baby. Sonny says she won't be giving up any child of his.

Act IV
Skye calls the cops and tells them to send someone to get Laura but before she completes her call Luke hangs up the phone. He's ticked that she called the cops before she called him.

Sonny says that he's going to have to tell Carly the truth if Sam refuses to keep the baby.

Courtney tells Jax the only way she'll go out with him is if their dinner costs a whole bunch of money.

Carly tells Lorenzo that it would be easier to hate him if he were a jerk but he's not -- he's goal-oriented and intelligent and she used to be very similar before she became a mom and her priorities changed. He wishes her luck and hits the road.

Act V
Courtney and Jax show up at Carly's newly re-opened club. Courtney tells Carly that she just got back from Monte Carlo with Jax, and then she tells him about their ten million dollar bet. Carly tells Courtney the bet wasn't a good idea because Jax always gets what he wants.

Luke and Skye fight for the key to free Laura. She stumbles and he asks if she's OK. He then goes to rescue Laura.

Sheryl Crow's "I Shall Believe" (coincidentally the same song that was used in an April 2001 montage on the show, on, I believe, Sarah Brown's last day as Carly) plays as Sonny takes an alcoholic drink; Jason throws some barware and Sam (the sole passenger in the gate at the airport) waits ostensibly to board a flight to Houston. She looks sad.

Act VI
Luke hears the sirens in the background. He unlocks the door and tells the person inside that he'll meet them in Beecher's Corners and that he'll stall the cops. The cops come and he distracts them momentarily. They look in the room but it's empty and Luke says he let the person go.

Jax tells Courtney some ideas for the charity fundraiser that she and Carly are having for her foundation. He convinces her to dance with him. Jason shows up and looks hurt.

Carly returns home and tells Sonny about getting the club back. He says he has to talk to her about Sam's baby. But before he can, Sam walks through the door and announces to the Corinthos' that Jason is the father of her baby. Carly looks incredulous.
