Carly arrived at the nurses' station to meet Jax, who injured a tendon on his right hand. Jerry said daredevil Jax got hurt while free-climbing. Jerry assured her Jax knew what he was getting into when he married her. Carly explained that she and Sonny were overcome with grief the night they cheated. Then she confronted the newly-shorn Jax, who assured her he is fine, but left with his brother.

Kate told Sonny she loves him and believes he was vulnerable to Carly's predation — something that could happen again. Sonny threatened to break a mirror if she doesn't marry him. He challenged her to shatter the mirror herself, suggesting that would prove she's thinking with her head, not her heart, and that would convince him they are over. She couldn't break it, so Sonny said she was following her heart, which would lead her to him.

At Shadybrook, Nikolas tried to reassure Lulu that Johnny won't be convicted because of her — Claudia's story was very convincing. Meanwhile, Anthony told Trevor that their plant on the jury should get Johnny off. Trevor pointed out Claudia's unnatural connection to her brother. At the courthouse, Epiphany was elected jury foreperson. Edward agitated for a guilty verdict, but not everyone (including Epiphany) was on board. She pointed out that Lulu is Edward's granddaughter by marriage. Mrs. Albright insisted Scotty is only out for revenge, and later she tried to convince the other ladies that Johnny was just trying to protect his sister. Growing suspicious, Epiphany and several other jurors caught Mrs. Albright talking to Anthony on a cell phone. Back at Shadybrook, Lulu visited Laura, who still insisted Lucky and Nikolas not be told she's awake. Just as Lulu left her, Lucky arrived and confessed that he hasn't been sleeping from worrying about his loved ones. Meanwhile, Ric visited Claudia and Johnny to warn them not to get overconfident. Claudia and Ric got very close. Later, Ric arranged for Johnny to take a call from Lulu.

Elizabeth assured Jason that she doesn't expect their liaison to go anywhere. She accepts the life he's chosen — and everybody knows they're involved as a result of his trial last summer. She has tried to relive that night that Jake was conceived because Jason let his guard down and let her in that night. Jason kept saying the usual: that he's afraid his enemies will use her as leverage. She said she can't live without him. She promised to leave if it gets too painful. Liz trotted out "The Last Lecture" to demand he tell her how he feels. He sputtered, then kissed her and carried her upstairs. At that moment Spinelli returned to the penthouse, followed closely by a tearful Carly. She went upstairs intending to use the bathroom, but instead burst in on Jason and Liz.

Sam told Lucky she's trying to use her talent for working men for something good: proving Jerry is part of the drug ring. She worried about her mother being involved with the former Mr. Craig. Sam promised that after this was over, they'd be together. Lucky slipped out to the balcony when Jerry arrived with flowers and wine. Sam confessed she started working with Karpov because she likes risk. Jerry grabbed Sam by the throat and questioned why she's being so friendly.

Nadine and Matt were trapped in the clinic fire, but luckily Nikolas entered the smoke-filled building and went directly to the locked room where they were trapped (with the flames licking at Matt's legs).
