At The Haunted Star, Elizabeth couldn't find Luke to apologize for putting him on the spot with Lucky last night. Ethan noticed her crumpling up a flier for the Star's Valentine's Day event. "I hate Valentine's Day," she growled. She flashed back to Lucky finding her in the snow after her rape, and lamented that her actions have not only ruined her future with Lucky, "I ruined our past." She left, going to Kelly's, where she ran into Sam. Both felt awkward, but Liz went on the offensive, sniping at Sam for sleeping with stepdad Ric. Liz pretended that she wanted Sam's "secret" to getting Jason to accept her back after endangering Jake. Sam said she decided to change, made amends, and learned to respect herself. "How nice for you," Liz sniped.

At Wyndemere, Luke said he's sorry to be right that Nikolas' Cassadine genes would one day win out: "We can never change who we are" He admitted he will never trust Nik again, but acknowledged he is Laura's son and Lucky's brother, so he will step aside and let his brothers and sister deal with him. Later, Ethan arrived, and called Nik a selfish pig who brought ruination on himself and Liz. When Ethan mentioned that Elizabeth was upset over Valentine's Day, Nik told him the story of her rape.

Spinelli and Maxie had breakfast at Kelly's, where she invited him to move with her. He said he's staying in the pink room for professional reasons. She fretted that he was still holding a grudge about Franco. Spinelli confessed he was hurt by her tryst, but he sees she's remorseful, so he added, "I forgive you. I'm over it." He asked her to pay him back by forgiving herself.

A furious Jason screamed at Johnny, "As of now, you are out!" In appreciation for protecting Michael from the police, Sonny declared that Johnny should live, but he's out of the crew. Johnny insisted on explaining his reasoning: He loves Olivia, and so would not give up her son. And he also wants revenge for Claudia. While he knows Sonny didn't swing the ax, Johnny still holds him responsible for Claudia's death. Jason vowed to stop him. Johnny next brought coffee to Olivia, who was optimistic about Dante. He acknowledged that she held her secrets, and he held his, and that's over now. He's out of Sonny's crew. She was happy he's safe. "I didn't say I'm safe," he clarified. "I'm free of the first time in my life." He doesn't have to be anyone's soldier, and he hopes she will stick by him. She promised not to be won't be scared away easily. Next, he visited his father in prison to declare his intention to reclaim the Zacchara faction from Sonny and seek revenge.

Kristina went to the penthouse and asked Jason for even one reason not to hate her father. "To me, Sonny is a good man," Jason replied. He claimed Sonny's code is different, but she called her dad a thief who terrorizes people. Jason explained that Sonny's decisions were first born out of need to survive, and later from a thirst for power. However, Sonny wants his kids to be safe because he never felt safe as a child. He said Sonny regrets and all of his "mistakes," but will always love and be there for her. When Sam interrupted, Krissy left, noting she's beginning to understand Sonny. Kristina went to Kelly's, where she ran into Kiefer, who threatened her. Ethan arrived, and when Kiefer released his grip on her arm, she immediately left with Ethan. At the penthouse, Sam told Jason he would make a "fantastic father." Maxie abruptly arrived with plans to install a sauna.

At G.H., Patrick and Robin offered to pay for Elizabeth to go on a vacation, but Liz wanted them to intervene with the hospital board to get her job back. When they balked, she left. Patrick asked Lisa to cover for them, and the marrieds sneaked off to a supply closet.

Back at Wyndemere, Helena suddenly appeared and asked Nikolas how she can help. Meanwhile, at Kelly's, Elizabeth hallucinated that two men were making lewd and lascivious remarks about her. Panicking, she ran straight into the arms of Jason.
