Spinelli surprised Sam, who was planning a romantic night for Jason. Spinelli said the roads are closed. There was a crash upstairs. Meanwhile, Sonny told Jason that Mateo really is reformed, and Jason assured Sonny that he's a loyal boyfriend to Sam. Jason recounted how Sam desperately wants a child, but he fretted about his dangerous lifestyle. Back at the penthouse, the noise turned out to be a window Sam left open (during this horrible snowstorm). She admitted that he's "odd" and "amusing," but she's in love with Jason. Spinelli admitted he's never been in love. Sam said she "can't wait" to start a family with Jason, and Spinelli assured her that she will make a great mother. Jason arrived home at the stroke of midnight and embraced Sam.

Skye, Alcazar and Lila Rae appeared at Carly's door after their car slid off road. Skye noted to Carly that Alcazar and Sonny are very much alike. Alcazar told Carly she will always be drawn to Sonny. She dismissed Alcazar as a ruthless thug, and wondered if Skye suspects the lengths he will go to in order to avenge Diego. Skye and Alcazar eventually got back on the road and smooched in the car. Sonny appeared at Carly's seconds before midnight (Michael called him), and kissed Carly — on the cheek.

As a lonely Lucky closed down Kelly's, the snowfall sparked a flashback to playing with Elizabeth in the snow. Meanwhile, a man brought his pregnant wife to GH, where she asked Liz to keep her husband away because she's been lying about the child's paternity: her husband's best friend is the father. Later, she gave birth to a son and passed out. Suddenly, the newborn needed a transfusion — but only from his father. So Liz told the husband, "Your friend Ethan is the father." Meanwhile, Lucky was flashing back to more happy memories with Liz, when Maxie flounced in from the storm wearing a miniskirt and sexy pumps. She managed to tempt Lucky into dancing with her, and at midnight they kissed.

Robin met with Patrick, who wanted to take her to Metro Court for New Year's Eve, but she wanted to stay in. He balked, but she decorated his bare apartment and they made love. At midnight they shared champagne in plastic cups.

An emotional Liz lost control of her car in the storm, and it skidded off the road. She stumbled out of vehicle and managed to knock herself unconscious on some nearby rocks.

Ric demanded Sonny testify on his behalf for custody of Molly, or he will cite his brother for contempt. Sonny vowed that someday Molly will learn what a "twisted, lying bastard" Ric is. Meanwhile, a haggard Alexis joined Lainey and Kristina for a tea party. Lainey voiced Kris' worry that mommy is getting sick again, but Alexis reassured her that "under the circumstances" she's fine. Alexis sent the girls to a movie and pulled out the joint Sam gave her. While Alexis was madly munching cookies, Sonny knocked. She frantically tried to hide the reefer fumes before opening the door. Still, Sonny noticed, and asked, "You're smoking pot?" She insisted it was for medicinal purposes, and she doesn't smoke in front of Kristina. He told her to finish smoking the doobie, but she balked because it's "illegal." There was another knock, and she gave Sonny the weed to hide. It was Ric, who insisted she not fight him for Molly or he'll limit her visitation rights.

Nikolas obsessed over letting Colleen kidnap Spencer. Meanwhile, Colleen prepped for her job interview at a daycare center in Denver. Cruz couldn't find Colleen's fingerprints in the system and asked Nik if she demanded a ransom. Nik flipped out and vowed to find Spencer himself. He brought Emily to the pier, where he beat himself up. Emily assured him he couldn't have known Colleen was evil. At that moment, Colleen was exulting over landing her new job.

As Liz eavesdropped, Jason asked Dr. Lee if Sam could get pregnant again. She said, speaking strictly hypothetically because she could not breach doctor/patient confidentiality, Sam could "adequately heal" and Jason could be a father "by this time next year." Liz told Jason Sam got a clerk job. Meanwhile, on the docks, Father Mateo Ruiz introduced himself to Sam as Manny's brother. Sam freaked and threatened to kill him, so he fled. Sam returned to penthouse to load Jason's gun. A shaky Sam then flashed back to killing Diego. Jason returned, and she filled him in. Back at GH, Dr. Lee threw confidentiality to the wind and told Liz that Jason was asking about Sam, which upset Liz, who literally ran into Ric. He asked if Molly is better off with him or Alexis, and asked her to testify for him. She balked at getting into someone else's custody battle when Lucky is threatening one of his own.

Jason assured Sam that he won't let anyone harm her. He advised her to keep the gun, but she balked, because she traumatized Kristina with that gun. Sam deduced that this drama is "exactly why" he doesn't want them to have a baby. Some people weren't meant to have kids, she reasoned, adding, "I guess we're them." But she admitted she still wants kids, and they hugged.

Dillon and George planned a future movie screening and parted. Dillon arrived at the hospital to observe Spinelli showing Lulu what he'd learned about the Qs. Monica didn't think Lulu should be running around with Spinelli. Monica encouraged her nephew to talk to Lulu.

Lucky and Elizabeth were glad Emily and Nikolas were together and also wondered where Spencer was. Maxie interrupted them. The awkwardness in the air was palpable. Lucky looked longingly at Elizabeth as she glared at the two of them. Maxie hugged Lucky. She was grateful she didn't have to go through this miscarriage alone. Elizabeth caught the hug through the windows of Kelly's. Maxie joined Georgie at the hospital, where they are both volunteers. Maxie said the only two people she didn't want to hurt were Georgie and Mac. Maxie encouraged Georgie to have a relationship with her professor. Go ahead, break the rules she suggested. Georgie was more cautious. Maxie and Georgie were fooling around with the Christmas ornaments, causing Epiphany to question if Maxie had ever been pregnant. Elizabeth's interest was piqued.

Nikolas and Emily were torn between who took little Spencer. Nikolas thought it was Helena and Emily remained convinced it was Colleen. Nikolas wondered if they were working in cahoots. Nikolas beat himself up about trusting Spencer to Colleen. Colleen told little Spencer that Nikolas didn't want them and they would have a good life together. Mac told Emily, Lucky and Nikolas that they had a lead on the kidnapping. Emily and Nikolas looked at the surveillance tapes and Nik was convinced that he saw the woman holding his son. Elsewhere in Denver, Colleen called up the local day care center for a job.

Sam announced that she was applying for a job at General Hospital. Time to move ahead with my life, she stated. She was going for a job as a file clerk. Sam reminded Jason that she wasn't going to dive for salvage (her old job) if she hoped to get pregnant. True. Sam promised to stay on birth control until Jason was ready. Sam gave the HR person (Miss Sneed) at GH her resume; Miss Sneed immediately handed it back. Sam demanded an interview or she'd file a discrimination suit. The HR person reminded Sam she had a list of police problems. Dr. Quartermaine interrupted and hired Sam on the spot; it was payback for saving Jason. "I'm glad you are here. Welcome to General Hospital," he said as he left. Elizabeth looked a bit concerned. Sam headed home and ran into Mateo.

Elizabeth and Cameron ran into Jason. Jason was charmed by Cameron's new toy. Elizabeth got teary and admitted she had wanted a dad for Cameron and the new baby. Elizabeth added that the situation was very complicated and said she wanted to make the best decision. Jason learned more about Manny's brother Mateo from Stan. Jason wondered if Manny had survived and was pretending to be his brother. Jason also learned that before Mateo had become a priest he was a far worse guy than Manny.

Lulu and Dillon entered Kelly's. Lulu wondered why Spinelli was a problem for Dillon, or anyone for that matter. Spinelli entered the diner and joined them. Dillon pointed out that their project was keeping Lulu in the past, which wasn't a good thing. Lulu said that Spinelli had evidence that Alan killed Rick Webber. Dillon thought that if Alan wanted to kill Rick he would have succeeded. Spinelli kept interrupting and insisted that Dillon was making a movie about them. Dillon thought it was interesting that Monica is the one who had called him. Dillon then became intrigued in the research himself and began asking pointed questions.
