Jerry's recording told Jax that he hid the DVDs in Sonny's house to torment Claudia, but realized the info on the discs would negatively impact Jax and Carly. He went on to detail his role in the events of April 4, 2008: He hired Ian Devlin to shoot Sonny on Claudia's orders. Jax hid the DVD when Carly finished her shower, telling her he was on a business call. She said he sounded like his brother, and she's glad Jerry is dead, because he took advantage of Jax. Before heading to dinner, she promised never to keep any secrets ever again. Later, he told her he had a gift for her, and went to the safe to fetch it. She stumbled upon the DVD, and just as she was about to fire it up, Jax returned.

Lulu arrived home just as Johnny was headed to Claudia's coming-out party for Sonny. She feared he wants to go back to the mob. Maxie arrived, and urged Lulu to be more compassionate — Claudia is all the family he has. Lulu wondered why Maxie knows more about Johnny than she does. Maxie said they talked during those endless car rides to parties. At the federal building, Spinelli pretended to be a janitor to enter Agent Rayner's office — but could not access the FBI mainframe. Then Sam came in and gave Spinelli Rayner's badge. He worked to transfer that security clearance to Winnifred's credential. At Sonny's place, Ric told Claudia he knows she was responsible for Michael's shooting, and he made a show of formulating a blackmail plan, then kissed her. Outside, Rayner listened to Jason's wire as the mob summit got under way. Sonny was suspicious of Jason asking about the money end of the business, but Jason pressed him about South America. Then Ric suggested Jason make a public show of stepping down. Claudia appeared, clad in a tight dress that attracted lots of attention. When Ric started mouthing off, Jason pushed him, purposely spilling Ric's drink on himself — and disrupting the wire. When Johnny arrived, Claudia hinted that Ric was causing her trouble. Sonny made a speech about these tough economic times, and said he's consolidating all his businesses. Jason voiced his full support for Sonny. Johnny stepped forward to speak "on behalf of the Zacchara family," and expressed total confidence in Sonny. He also blasted Ric for making mistakes. Afterward, Ric warned Sonny that he's trusting the wrong people. Rayner phoned Jason and summoned him to his office. Claudia walked Johnny out to in order to slip him details. She returned in time to hear Ric tell Sonny he has vital information to share. Jason reported to Rayner, who was furious that the night's discussions was all about coffee — and ordered Jason arrested. In another part of the FBI building, Sam swiped a badge through a lock, and was confronted by someone who demanded to see her ID. Spinelli arrived home and told Maxie and Lulu he feared for his freedom and that "Maxinista will further..." He stopped himself, but too late. "Further what?" Lulu demanded.

Meanwhile, Robin brought Brad "home" to "Nancy's" motel room for wine.Later, Liz urged him to just go talk to Robin. "Nancy" told Brad she likes a man who works with his hands. They kissed, but when it moved to the bed she backed him off. "You don't even know me," she said. "You shouldn't have to deal with my garbage." She said she once thought she had a great life, but woke up one day thinking all the choices she made were wrong, and she's "drowning." Patrick told Liz, "I want Robin back here." She told him, "Go get your wife." Later, Brad kissed "Nancy" goodnight — just as Patrick arrived.
