When Sam proposed asking Winnifred to destroy the evidence against Spinelli, Jason blew up. But Winnifred proposed the same thing herself. Jason argued that Winnifred didn't understand the risks any more than Michael did. Sam asked what Michael has to do with anything. Jason admitted he's been thinking about the boy a lot, and lamented that every choice he made for Michael was wrong. Sam insisted Jason was a great guardian, but Jason pointed out Michael grew up surrounded by violence. Michael still got hurt, even though he was an innocent, just like Spinelli and Winnifred. If Winnifred gets in trouble, "What have I learned from Michael?" he wondered. Meanwhile, in the courtyard, Spinelli told a tearful Maxie that he has to leave her behind, but she refused to let him go. "If you leave I'm just gonna end up hooking up with Johnny," she warned. Spinelli was stunned as she recapped the night of the blizzard, and how close she and Johnny came to hooking up. She tearfully told Spinelli she doesn't want to hurt him, but she and Johnny are pretty self-destructive, so it would only be a matter of time. Back in Port Charles, Lulu was manning the phones at Crimson, when Johnny arrived, followed quickly by Kate, who ordered him to escort Maxie to a fashion show. He balked, but Kate insisted.

At Mercy, Patrick prepared for his date with Robin, and told Elizabeth that everything was fine with Robin, now that he's admitted he overreacted to the situation with Emma. When a child was brought in with a brain injury, he told Liz to call Robin and cancel. Robin entered a bar in Rochester and ordered a tequila. She told the bartender, Ruth, that she was a pharmaceutical sales rep named Nancy, from San Francisco. Robin didn't answer her cell when Liz called. Robin told Ruth she has no husband and no children. She's an opera freak who likes theater and takes cooking classes. And she wants to plant vegetables. Then Robin heard a baby moaning. It turned out to he Ruth's kid. She cannot afford child care, so she sneaked the kid into the bar. Ruth worried about missing her daughter's life, and envied stay-at-home moms. Back at Mercy, Liz told Patrick that Robin cannot be found, and isn't answering her cell. Robin checked into a motel room in Rochester.

Carly and Jax had an informal dinner of chips on the coffee table in the living room. "This is nice," she sighed. "A jug of wine, a bowl of chips, and thou," he joked. Then Diane arrived, insisting that the lovebirds sign a "post-nup," because divorce is inevitable with the two of them. They declined, but Diane left the paperwork, anyway. They resolved never to fight about Sonny again. As Sonny and Claudia got dressed after having sex, he suggested that her "party" become a "summit" to show he's back in the saddle. Claudia suggested inviting his casino partners from South America, which impressed him with her research. He asked if he's supposed to trust her totally. She said she never promised to bare her secrets — and she doesn't want to know his. She promised to be loyal and not question him. Sonny called Jason to summon him to the summit on Monday night, and Jason agreed to attend. Jason resolved to get Spinelli out of the country — just as the Jackal returned and declared his intention to return to PC with Maxie. Winnifred arrived and reported she got a promotion — and new security clearance that lets her see the evidence against Spinelli. She insisted on helping Spinelli, even though Jason argued against it. When Maxie whined how much she needs Spinelli, Stone Cold relented. Back in PC, Claudia told Sonny she wants to invite Johnny, because it will make things easier for the old-school Zaccharas. Sonny pointed out that not including Ric would send a bad message. Elsewhere, Jerry's final DVD played, revealing that Claudia ordered the hit that injured Michael. The person watching it was revealed to be...Ric!
