Dante urged Kate to quit talking, but she assured him there was an aspect of the whole Sonny situation he wasn't aware of. Before she could make it clear for him, Olivia interrupted! (And Coleman sauntered up to tell Dante to "give it up" because Kate's all his. Ha!) Olivia assured Dante that Connie would keep quiet, but it sure didn't seem like it! So Olivia dragged her cousin aside to threaten her. Dante followed to point out that if Kate blew his cover, he's dead. "It's not that simple!" Kate began, but Dante cut her off, saying it was. When he walked away, the cousins continued to argue. Coleman tried to intervene and then poured Kate some more booze. Olivia pointed out to Kate that Dante finding out Sonny is his father won't make him back off his case. "Stop running your mouth," she said, promising to step in before anything got violent. Kate listed all the violence she'd experienced, warning Olivia that father and son could very well end up killing each other. Meanwhile, Dante dropped by Johnny's garage to talk about Claudia's erratic behavior. Later, Michael visited Johnny, too, to tell him he's the only one who might be able to save Claudia. Michael revealed he'd remembered everything about his shooting, and he wanted to give Johnny the opportunity to protect his sister, like Michael would protect Kristina.

At Kelly's, Michael told Kristina about Claudia's involvement in his shooting, noting Claudia would be toast if he told Sonny. Kristina naively thought Sonny might just turn Michael's info over to the police. Michael quickly clued her in about how Dad works...and admitted Claudia would deserve it! Kristina urged caution and Michael lashed out at her, but then apologized. When Michael stormed away, she sighed to Mike that "Anger Boy's just in one of his moods." Then, Kiefer appeared to give her some attention and set up a date for some more sex. When Kiefer took her home, she assured him she'd work something out. Kiefer then did his whole good-boy act for Alexis' benefit. He and Alexis dished Harvard vs. Yale, while Kristina looked on. Kiefer asked Alexis if he could take K to a coffeehouse on Thursday, and left after securing permission. Alone, Kristina couldn't believe Alexis had agreed. Well, she just wanted her daughter to be happy!

Jason and Sam went over all their Devlin evidence. Jason just wanted confirmation that it all proved Claudia arranged Michael's shooting. They listened to Claudia and Ian's call and, yup, it sounded pretty clear. On the jet back from Puerto Rico, an appreciative Sonny told Claudia he was throwing her a birthday party. Carly was doing a little work on the couch, and assured Jax she was taking care of herself when Sonny called to make arrangements for his party. At home, Robin found Patrick all distracted and moody. He opened up about Claudia and what their responsibility was if Sonny and Jason ordered her death. "Maybe we should just stay out of it," Robin shrugged, noting that whatever Jason and Sonny choose to do is "on them." Patrick held her, adding he's lucky to be her husband.

Jason and Sam tried to figure out what to do with their newfound knowledge, while Sonny told Claudia about losing Lily in a car bombing, and Claudia promised to be a great stepmom to his kids. She got in some shots at Alexis, too, suggesting they spend more time with Kristina. Jax watched Carly do her party-arranging best on the phone with Marty. When she got off, Jax reminded her that Sonny had made his own choices where Claudia is concerned. Back at Jason's, Sam ran all kinds of "what if" scenarios, and Jason got more and more agitated. When Spinelli came in, Jason apologized for yelling at him earlier and told him he needs to stay away for a while. "You're giving him deniability," Sam concluded. Carly was looking forward to bleeding Sonny dry at his party, and when Jax didn't want her anywhere near it, she wondered why. Jax covered, trying to just seem overprotective, and then brought in Olivia to take over the planning. Sam warned Jason against acting rashly, asking what he would do about Michael. Up in the air, Sonny's jet hit some turbulence and when Claudia freaked, he comforted her.
