Sonny accused Suzanne of having an agenda. She assured Sonny that if he doesn't want to raise Lucian, she will give him a safe life away from the mob. Suzanne warned Sonny that his life of violence will drive Brenda away. "I'm not going to manipulate my wife into giving you her kid," Sonny huffed. Suzanne told Sonny that if she wanted Lucian all to herself, then why would she have brought Lucian to his mother? Sonny replied that he doesn't understand how Suzanne could be so friendly with the woman who killed her son.

Brenda asked Michael about growing up with a mobster father. He admitted that being Sonny's son had made him a target in the past. He also defended Carly as a mother. Brenda said she admired how Michael spoke up for his mom. Brenda then admitted she loves having Lucian in her life.

Jason lamented giving up Jake to keep him safe, only to have the child die anyway. Sam assured Jason that he did what he thought was best. Sam said she had to get to work and Jason thanked her for bringing him Jake's toy motorcycle. "Don't thank me," she smiled. "Thank Elizabeth." Jason gave Sam a tender hug.

Elizabeth showed up at Lucky's apartment and found him bonding with Nikolas. With the paternity test results behind her back, she said she needed to apologize. Lucky said he was the one who should apologize for enabling Luke. Losing her nerve, Liz slipped the envelope into her purse. Nikolas took Liz home, where Maxie surprised them. "I see you told Nikolas," Maxie blurted. "Tell me what?" he asked. Maxie quickly covered and Nik left. Liz explained that she wanted to tell the truth but didn't because she didn't want to cause a rift between the brothers now that they made amends.

Siobhan stopped by Lucky's to take him out, but he wasn't really in the mood. However, he reconsidered, which made Siobhan smile. Lucky thanked Siobhan for reminding him that he's still alive. He stated he admired Siobhan's spirit, and pulled her into a kiss.

Michael went to see Jason and saw a fertility pamphlet on the desk. "Are you thinking about having a baby?" Michael asked. Jason explained it was Carly's idea. Michael asked Jason if he really wanted another child. Jason said he wasn't sure. Michael assured Jason he'd be a great dad.

Sonny went home and told Brenda about his conversation with Suzanne. She wanted to know if he had a problem with Lucian being in their lives. Sonny insisted that he would never want to separate Brenda and her son, and gave her a hug. Sonny warned Brenda to be careful where Suzanne was concerned. "She's after something," he insisted. Meanwhile, Suzanne made a call inquiring about her "grandchild" and said her work in Port Charles was almost complete.

Maxie called Matt over to vent about her frustration with Elizabeth. Maxie hated keeping such a major secret; Matt was proud of Maxie for keeping her mouth shut.

At Wyndemere, Nikolas spent some quality time with Aiden, and expressed how grateful he was to have his son in his life. Nikolas returned to Liz's and noted that Spencer and Aiden were the best things to ever happen to him. When Liz went to get some wine, Nikolas spied the envelope with the test results. Liz returned and saw Nik holding the envelope. "I can explain," Liz whispered.

As Patrick and Lisa discussed a case, Robin dragged Patrick away to attend a marriage counseling session. After the session, Robin confided in Maxie that there was a lot of work to be done to save their marriage. Robin regretted holding onto her pain and anger for so long. Robin admitted that she was afraid that Patrick might grow apart from her.

At Lucky's apartment, he and Siobhan were kissing when a plane ticket fell out of her jacket. Lucky picked it up, looked at it and asked, "Are you going back to Ireland?" Siobhan said that Liz needed Lucky and she's just in the way. "I want you to stay," Lucky insisted. Lucky then asked if Siobhan really wanted to leave, but she couldn't give him an answer. They ended up in a passionate kiss.

Elizabeth apologized to Nikolas when she found him holding the envelope with the paternity test results, but quickly realized he hadn't opened it. Nik promised to support Liz and Lucky, and vowed they'd get through it as a family. Liz admitted she still loved Lucky. Nik assured her that she still had his support, then left.

As Jason and Sam discussed her proceeding with fertility tests, she asked Jason if they were ready for their lives to change so drastically should they ever get pregnant. Just then, Carly interrupted and blurted the question, "Are you going to have a baby?" Carly said she knew she was overstepping, and Sam stepped out for a doctor's appointment — a follow up her concussion, that was all. After Sam left, Jason warned Carly that he believed Johnny was trying to pull Michael into the mob. Carly flipped out. "Don't fight with him or he'll push you away," Jason insisted regarding Michael.

At Pentonville, Johnny visited Anthony, who was upset to learn the guards held up the pictures of Anthony's rose garden. Anthony then revealed that he knew Johnny was bedding Lisa. Johnny inquired what Anthony's connection was to Abby's dead boyfriend, Brandon. "It's all you, Johnny," the insane Anthony chuckled.

Sam met Patrick at the hospital, who'd forgotten all about their appointment. Patrick confided that he was still carrying a load of guilt over what he did to Robin. After their talk, Sam had her check-up and Patrick said she was doing fine. Before she left, Patrick added that having a child together was the best thing that ever happened to he and Robin.

As Lisa lifted a patient's herbal supplements and lied about it, Kristina met up with Ethan at Kelly's. Krissy asked Ethan if he'd be her date for the prom. Krissy played it cool and just wanted to go with him to make an appearance. Ethan stated it wouldn't be a good idea for her to show up with a married man on her arm. Kristina went to G.H. talk to Lisa. There, Lisa passed the herbal supplements on to Krissy.

Patrick went home to find Robin crying. Robin confided her insecurities and Patrick assured her that he's in it for the long haul. Patrick vowed to never risk his family again. Robin then announced that they were losing their nanny. Patrick suggested they call Kristina: Robin concurred.

Carly confronted Johnny and warned him to stay away from her son. "What will it take for you to change your mind?" she asked... Anthony made a call from prison: he was indeed pulling strings.... Jason told Sam that fear was the wrong reason for making the decision. Sam cried that she wanted to have the fertility procedure. They hugged.

Michael wished his father had more faith in him. Abby advised Michael he should stay out of the mob.

At G.H., Carly ran into Jax while he was visiting with Josslyn. Carly encouraged him to attend a yacht race halfway around the world. Carly insisted she wasn't trying to keep Jax away from Joss.

Alexis scared Jax while he napped in Josslyn's room. Alexis was happy to hear Joss would be released soon. Jax filled him in on Carly's intentions with Michael. Alexis stated that Carly was trying to get Jax out of the picture while Josslyn's custody was being decided.... When Carly tried to talk to Sonny about Michael, Sonny replied he'd deal with Michael in his own way.... Jax told Shawn he didn't want him guarding his daughter. Shawn pointed out that Jax didn't hire him, Jason did. Jax said he'd hire his own guard. Shawn stood his ground. Jax offered Shawn money to leave town.

Johnny came home to find Lisa waiting with champagne. Johnny was suspicious. Lisa told Johnny she "turned a corner" where Patrick was concerned and pulled him into a kiss. After sex, Johnny opened up about his crazy father. Back at Pentonville, the warden visited Anthony and asked, "How the hell did you pull this off?"

Sonny came out of his office at the restaurant to find — a surprise party, with all his kids and their mothers present. He was genuinely surprised. The gang gave Molly all the credit. Sonny was touched.

Carly barged into Sonny's house and berated Brenda for "trying to keep Sonny away from his kids." She also chastised Brenda for not going to Sonny's birthday party.

At Kelly's, Abby told Johnny about being questioned by the cops. He said if she ever needed legal help, she could contact him. Michael arrived and asked what they were talking about. Johnny insisted he was just trying to help Abby. Michael replied that Abby didn't need his help. After Johnny left, Abby feared that Michael was going down the wrong path.

Shawn turned down Jax's offer to leave town and tore up the check. Carly caught the exchange. Jax pointed out they needed to discuss what was going to happen when Joss was released from G.H.

Later, Carly found Sam in tears after her appointment; Carly apologized for encouraging Sam to pursue having a baby.

Ethan went to see Johnny. He regretted being unable to keep Luke from self-destructing, and informed his friend that Maya was gone.

Johnny smiled and said, "Michael Corinthos might be coming to work for me."

Jason met with Diane to discuss Brandon's murder. Diane pointed out that no one had an alibi. Jason assured Diane it wasn't him who pulled the trigger. Diane wondered aloud if Michael could be covering to protect the woman he loves. Diane then grilled Jason about Abby's background.
