POST-CRISIS
Patrick paced as he tried to explain to Agent Rayner how he'd realized something was wrong with Earl Bragg. Rayner claimed Earl was Equinox's problem and that the FBI was just cleaning up the "mess." Elsewhere, Winifred noted that Sonny and Carly were known to be at GH but Claudia was still unaccounted for.

PRE-CRISIS
Claudia watched another one of Jerry's clues and was searching the living room as Sonny arrived. Claudia deflected, noting Sonny'd have to make a "monumental concession" like "getting rid of Jason" to make things up to Anthony. Sonny didn't see that as an option. At the Metro Court, Sam asked Anthony for work while Ric made snarky comments. When Johnny sauntered in, more snark ensued and Anthony warned Johnny that he was endangering Lulu. At the penthouse, Jason and Carly had a heart to heart about Michael's condition. Carly said Jason was off the hook for the benefit tonight. Talk then turned to the Jason/Sonny rift and Carly working with Sonny for Michael. Carly hugged Jason and left. Jason instantly called to make an appointment with Patrick. Anthony laid out his plans to a wary Ric. Ric pointed out Johnny wouldn't like his methods to get h m back in the family. "Don't question me. Just do it!" Mad Anthony growled as Claudia appeared. Claudia counseled Ric on how to deal with her dad. Back at Sonny's, Johnny warned him about crossing Anthony and about his destructive streak getting him killed. Later at Casa Corinthos, Ric and Claudia got busy. Meanwhile, Sam told Jason she was making headway with Anthony and Carly visited Sonny to discuss Jason attending Michael's benefit. Couldn't they put their differences aside for tonight? Sonny didn't want Carly stuck in between them. He and Jason would work things out or they wouldn't, but it had nothing to do with Michael. As Sonny went upstairs, Carly angsted alone and stumbled on one of Jerry's DVDs. Ric and Claudia were still going to town, so Sonny heard the creak of bedsprings from the hallway.

When Lulu wondered why Spinelli was at Jake's, Maxie claimed he was getting love advice from Coleman. Maxie then asked if Lulu was really in love with Johnny. Lulu got all huffy and defensive, especially when Maxie mentioned her parents' "legendary" love. "You need to get a life," Lulu observed, calling her out on her relationship with Spin. Later, Johnny came by Crimson and bantered with Maxie, who suggested he bone up on Luke and Laura's history to get a glimpse into his and Lulu's future. After Johnny left, Maxie lied to Lulu that he hadn't made contact while she was out.

Harried Patrick came into GH, earning some ribbing from Liz about letting little bro Matt pick up his slack. "I'm here to do my job," he said. Liz mentioned she's worried about Robin. Patrick insisted she's doing better. After the chat, Lucky walked off the elevator and Liz beamed. Lucky had four tickets to Disney on Ice. But what about the impending blizzard? Lucky laughed that off. The banter was just like old times! Patrick left a message for Robin saying he'd see her soon and then learned Liz was skipping Disney on Ice due to the blizzard and work. Epiphany noticed Leyla grinning over a guy, and then Matt noted Patrick sounded a little "pompous." Moments later, a black-clad girl who looked a LOT like Emily Quartermaine ran into a flirtatious Matt. "Rebecca Shaw," she introduced, revealing she's an X-ray tech looking for Administration. Matt raved about the beautiful girl ("almost as beautiful as Elizabeth") to Liz and Patrick. Nearby, Leyla revealed to Epiphany that she was secretly engaged to a nice Iranian boy like her mother always wanted.
