As Jax was instructing Morgan to keep a big secret, Carly arrived home. Jax said he'd tell her the secret if she met him for dinner that night. Carly was intrigued and shamelessly pumped her son for info to no avail.

Jason responded to Nikolas's summons to Wyndemere to discuss Sam's determination to keep Ric away from Kristina and Molly if Alexis dies. Nik wondered why Sam was so opposed to Ric raising his own child. Jason kept mum and left. Next Lulu showed up to complain that Liz hadn't visited Lucky in rehab... Afterward Colleen tended to Nik and served him more of her special tea. When Nik passed out, Colleen unbuttoned his shirt and kissed him. Emily walked in and asked what was going on, but the nanny covered. Em looked at Nik's meds and noted that they were quite strong. Colleen skulked off. As Em leaned over him, Nik surprised Em with a long kiss and murmured about Em being the woman he loves. He then poured out his heart and she promised to be there for him. When Nik was wide awake he asked Em what he'd said and she giggled. Colleen lurked and frowned.

Sam accused Elizabeth of wanting her baby to be Jason's. Liz defended her one-night stand with Jason, pointing out that he and Sam were broken up at the time. She also threw Sam's one-nighter with Ric in her face. Jason walked up and ordered the women to cool down. Ms. McCall maintained Liz's pregnancy was a little too "convenient" and departed in a huff.

At Casa Corinthos, Diego insisted to Luke that he was telling the truth about Skye's whereabouts. Luke questioned his motives and Sonny noted that Diego doesn't want his dad involved with Skye's baby. Diego responded that Alcazar has no business being a father and the baby would be better off without him. Sonny thanked Diego for his help and sent him on his way. Luke planned to look for Skye in South America. His conversation was interrupted by a phone call regarding Laura's medical treatment. He explained to Sonny that the wonder drug could bring Laura out of her shell ... or kill her. When Sonny asked if Luke had told the kids, Luke said he doesn't want to get their hopes up.... On the docks, a crazed Diego banged a brick wall with his bare hands. Lulu came along and advised him not to break the bones in his hand. She asked what was eating him, and he ranted about his father and the baby.... Lulu's next visit was to Lucky, who hounded her for info about Liz. Lucky confessed that he impregnated Maxie. Lulu blasted Maxie. Luke paid a call to report to his kids that he was going off in search of kidnapped Skye. Lulu tersely told him to have a safe trip and took off. Lucky took his dad to task for not focusing on his own family.

Carly, dolled up in a red dress with a plunging neckline, was on the docks when she ran into Jason, who told her about his baby drama. Carly believed Liz was carrying Jason's baby. She sympathized with Sam and said she'd like to rip Liz's hair out. Jax put an end to their chat and escorted Carly to their date: a lavish, candlelit al fresco dinner. Banter ensued.... Sonny dropped by Carly's house with a bag of groceries and told the boys he'd make dinner. He asked where his ex was and Morgan told him it's a surprise.

At the penthouse, Jason found a weepy Sam sitting in the dark with a mobile. She lamented the loss of her child.... Liz prepared to undergo a paternity test.

Sonny returned home from his business trip to Puerto Rico to find Carly and the boys moving out of his house. Carly called her ex-husband on rigging the repairs on her home to take longer and chastised him for manipulating her. He claimed he was just instructing the workers to make sure the job was done right but she wasn't buying. Sonny hugged his sons good-bye and watched his family leave.

After shopping for baby toys, Skye was stunned to see Alcazar waiting for her at the safehouse. He vowed to be a part of his child's life and suggested that they find a way to get along. She accused him of being a bully and tried unsuccessfully to knock him out. Alcazar told her there's no escaping him and from now on, he's making all the decisions. Skye refused to leave.

After his trip to Paris, Paris with Patrick, Luke was enthusiastic after meeting Dr. Legrassi regarding a possible treatment for Laura. Luke then handed Robin a gift from Dr. Drake. He remembered her birthday! Robin was touched. Luke thanked Robin for her input while he considered what action to take with Laura. Then, Robert showed up and informed Luke that Alcazar found Skye because she called home. They argued about Luke joining Robert on the mission to save Skye, then both cracked up when Robin suggested calling in the police. Luke then mentioned Robert doesn't want to fight with his daughter on "this special day." Robert picked up the hint (as did Robin) and swore that he did not forget his daughter's birthday. Robin let it roll off her back (after all, it's not like she's been getting cards from him from the past 14 years) and headed to work. Then, off the boys went.

After Lulu found out about Elizabeth's pregnancy, she hightailed it to the hospital and confronted Liz. Lulu was furious that when she turned to her sister-in-law for advice about having an abortion, Liz didn't speak up and mention her own unexpected pregnancy. Liz claimed she didn't want to influence Lulu's decision. Lulu accused Liz of being selfish, especially when it came to turning her back on Lucky.

Sam was shocked to find out that Liz may be pregnant with Jason's baby. He explained about the batch of faulty Enduro condoms on the market but it didn't make her feel any less upset. Once the shock sank in, she told Jason that if it's true, he'd be a great father. He apologized to Sam. She then walked away.

Liz went to Carly to discuss Lulu. Carly also wanted to know why Liz didn't speak up. Liz rambled on about choices and Carly asked what Liz wanted. Liz said she wanted Carly to be their for her cousin in Lucky's place.

Jason went to see Sonny and said they had a problem with Bernie the accountant. He wanted to know if he works for Jason or Sonny. Corinthos stated that his trip to Puerto Rico was a success and he said he felt good being back to work. "I think I'm ready to do this again," he smiled. Jason was thrilled to hear that because he was tired of making all the decisions. Sonny agreed to take charge of the organization again. Then, Jason broke the news about Liz's baby and filled in Sonny on the situation — and the proposal. He admitted he didn't know what to do. Luke showed up and asked Sonny for his help with handling Alcazar. They had Max and Milo drag in Diego for questioning to find out where Alcazar went.

Sam went to visit Wyndemere to visit Nikolas. When Spencer got fussy, Sam stepped in to take care of the baby. She got emotional holding him and blurted out that Liz may be having Jason's baby when she should be the one doing that. Sam confessed she suspects that it's going to turn out to be Jason's. Nik was shocked that Liz slept with Jason and Sam felt bad for spilling the beans. He agreed not to tell Lucky for fear of jeopardizing his brother's recovery. Sam left. Nik then called Jason to come to Wyndemere while on the docks, Sam ran into Liz, where she bitterly said, "I hear congratulations are in order."

Robert showed up at the hospital with a gift for Robin — it was the same bracelet that Patrick had gotten for her. He said he wants to do something special for her birthday. She said Sunday was out because she was participating in the AIDS walk (which Robin's portrayer, Kimberly McCullough, is actually doing this Sunday in Los Angeles along with a number of GH stars. Check out our Calendar on-line for more details!)

At the hospital, Elizabeth and Jason discussed her baby and Liz was anxious to take the paternity test. Jason left and Maxie walked up, saying Lucky went back to rehab. "Now why would I believe anything a lying skank like you had to say?" Liz wondered aloud. She accused Maxie of deliberately getting pregnant, but when Maxie gave it back to Liz about her shabby treatment of Lucky. It did give Liz pause for concern. Liz shot back to Maxie that if she wants Lucky, he's all hers. "Lucky doesn't love you," Liz huffed. "And he never will."

At the Q mansion, Dillon and Lulu got their respective school assignments mixed up. Then Edward bellowed that the front page of the newspaper was missing. That was because Tracy had it. The headline trumpeted the ELQ faulty condom scandal. The news was officially out. Alan and Tracy suggested issuing an apology but Edward refused to acknowledge fault. Then Dillon spoke up and pointed out that condoms are never 100 percent effective. Edward suggested that Dillon address the press and say that Lulu's pregnancy was his fault, not Enduro's. Tracy and Alan said no, don't, but Dillon agreed to do it. As the press set up outside, Dillon had to make a decision. He met the press. Afterward, Edward was pleased, but the rest of the family was not. Georgie burst in furious at Dillon for lying. She was shocked at both Dillon and Lulu's newfound cynicism. Afterward, Edward mentioned that a potential Enduro litigant was heading over to the house. It's Maxie!

At the Lake House, Ric and Sam made small talk about the weather, but it couldn't shake Alexis from her thoughts: she was beginning chemotherapy today and said she had something she needed to discuss with them. It was about caring for Kristina and Molly, of course. Then, she addressed the chemo with Kristina in an upbeat and lively manner. She, Ric and Sam showed up on time at the hospital to begin treatment. Ric stood by Alexis and encouraged her as the treatment began. She said that, thanks to him, she actually feels like she can win this battle. Sam snuck out and phoned Jason, just as he was thinking about her in a flashback. They met on their favorite rooftop, where Sam declared that she can't do this anymore. "All I want is you," she sighed. They embraced. Sam said she's ready to move forward if he is, but he replied that he had to tell her something.

Robert called Robin from the wild goose chase that he was leading Alcazar on. Robin chastised her father for playing with fire. When Alcazar learned Skye wasn't where he was led to, he was furious. Robert returned to P.C. and Robin asked him to stay out of this mess from now on. Robert insisted that Skye is safe, "Unless she does something stupid like making a phone call." Just then, Alcazar got a call on his private plane. "Good news," he smiled.

In the safehouse, we saw Skye for the first time in months. Skye lingered by the phone, obviously missing her family. Unable to resist the urge any longer, she called Alan. She relayed the info that she hadn't had the baby yet, but she was fine and that she loved him. Then, she hung up for fear of the call being traced. After heading out to shop for baby toys, she returned to find Alcazar waiting for her. He said the call home betrayed her location.

Little-seen Diego showed up at Kelly's and apologized to Lulu for his part in their summer escapades of breaking up Dillon and Georgie. She said nothing was his fault.... Georgie went looking for Maxie at the hospital and bumped into Liz, and offered her words of encouragement regarding Lucky.... Jason told Sam that Liz is pregnant and the baby may be his.

When Max collapsed at their table, Carly was convinced he was just faking and continuing his efforts to sabotage their date. Jax wasn't quite so sure. He checked Max and believed the chest pains were real. Carly agreed to get him to the hospital but told Max if he was faking, she'd kill him herself. Jax then caught Michael with the phone and demanded to know who he was calling. "No one," Michael replied. Max said he was feeling better and it was probably just heartburn. Carly insisted Milo take Max to the hospital to get him checked out. Afterward, Carly chastised Michael for his behavior and asked what he was afraid of. Michael asked Jax if he planned on marrying his mother. Jax reassured Michael that he wasn't trying to take his father's place. Michael wasn't so forgiving, however, and ran upstairs to his bedroom.

At Wyndemere, Colleen was insistent that an injured Nikolas stay in bed. He gave her a bit of a hard time, but then apologized. They had a sweet exchange after he climbed back into bed. Colleen smiled as she left the room, only to run into Helena in the hall. Helena was furious that Colleen was making up stories about her, and demanded to know if Colleen was in love with her grandson or just out for the family fortune.

Nikolas heard voices in the hall and made his way to the door, but no one was there by the time he opened it. Afterward, Colleen served Nik spiked tea. As Nikolas drank his tea, he and Colleen had a friendly chat about their mutual favorite Greek restaurant in New York. A drowsy Nik started asking Colleen about her love life. She deflected, stating it's amazing what some women will put up with. Alfred interrupted and scooted Colleen out, but not before Nik advised her not to give up on her fantasy of Prince Charming. Colleen returned and kissed a drugged Nikolas on the lips. Helena witnessed the exchange.

Alexis checked herself out of G.H. and thanked Epiphany for her advice about taking the chemo. Alexis's doctor advised her on what to expect during her first treatment session. With that, Epiphany put her in a wheelchair and wheeled her out. Alexis returned to the Lake House, where the first thing she did when she walked in was have a flashback of Ric and Sam having sex.

On the docks, Ric wanted to know why Jason roughed him up, just because he was asking Elizabeth about her pregnancy. "Since when is that your problem," Ric huffed. After Jason calmed down, Ric left but lingered to watch them whispering. Liz asked Jason to forget he could be the father until the paternity results are in. Then, she walked away.

At the Hardy residence, Lucky allowed Audrey to put Cameron to bed and thanked her for letting him stay until Liz got home. Just then, a messenger arrived with an envelope for Liz. Lucky signed for it and opened it. Lucky then tossed the envelope to the floor, miffed.

At the Lake House, Ric entered and he and Alexis shared a sweet, but terribly awkward exchange. Ric then made Alexis dinner and they shared a bottle of wine out on the porch. They had a winsome evening of fine food and conversation. When Alexis felt a chill, Ric wrapped a blanket around her. She thanked him for a moment in which she felt normal, then shared her fears about the effects of the chemo and losing her hair. Ric was supportive. He gave her an eloquent speech on how she'll always be beautiful to him. He then gave her two gifts: a wig for her chemo ("With highlights!" she pointed out) and a pin of the Eiffel Tower, to serve as a talisman. When she finished with chemo, they would go to Paris together. While the wig made Alexis laugh, the pin elicited a tear.

At the hospital, Elizabeth heard Maxie telling Dr. Lee how, "Everything changes when you're going to have a baby." Uh- oh. Elizabeth told Epiphany she wasn't feeling well and had to go home. At Audrey's, Liz walked in and found Lucky. Before he could say anything, she shouted that she already knew Maxie was pregnant. She told him to go back to rehab. He then held up the envelope. It was divorce papers. "Just sign them," she asked. He refused. She asked him to go. He left.

Jason burst into Sonny's and found Carly with Jax. Carly vented her frustrations out on Jason, who was dealing with problems of his own. "Let it go, Carly!' advised Jason. Just as she planned to ask Jason to take the boys, he said he'd watch them — there at the house. He wasn't going anywhere. So much for Carly's romantic evening with Jax.
