Cameron has come to talk to Alexis and he warns that if she doesn't let him in, she will assume that something is wrong. He can tell that something terrible has been going on with her. He has been following her and found her at her sister’s grave and before that, she was talking to her baby in some kind of trance that he had trouble breaking her out of. He had to practically shout at her to get her to come to and talk to him. She didn’t remember how she got to the hospital or even where she was for a moment. That caused Cameron some great concern and he even gave up a board meeting to follow her to see what she was up to.

Alexis is in the house in her get-up to make her look like Kristina. She has on a wig and has been applying makeup the way that Kristina likes it, to her face. She hears the pounding on the door but she ignores it. She says quietly that Alexis doesn’t live there anymore. She gets up finally to get the door.

Cameron is pounding on the door shouting that he will assume that something is wrong if she doesn't answer. Alexis knows that means that he is going to break down her door. The door opens and Alexis is there looking like her usual self in a pink robe. She says that she has been having a shower and she turns from the door knowing that he will insist on entering.

Courtney comes to see Carly to talk for a bit. Courtney is scared and Carly tells Courtney that she used to be scared and still is for her man. Carly reminds herself that she has a lot to treasure and then she freaks out. That is the way that she handles things now. She can’t lose it as that always screws up the relationship. She has to bite the bullet now. Courtney doesn’t understand why Sonny doesn’t just take off with his family and live safe and happy. If he really loved them, that is what he would do for them. Sonny does love his family but he can’t do anything but what he does now. Carly tells her that they would have to take everyone that they love with them to be sure that no one would be hurt. There is no escaping this life. Carly has thought of that many times, but that is a fantasy and this is real life. The choice is to take the man as he is, or leave him as you found him. Their men have chosen their lives and the women they love have chosen them.

Sonny comes to see Ned and Faith is there but hiding as she listens. Sonny sees no one else in the room as he meets with Ned. Ned is not dressed…he is in a robe as he has just been having fun and games with Faith who is hiding in the back. Sonny tells Ned that someone came to play a joke on him and used a gun with blanks in it to get a point across. Sonny didn’t think that was very funny. He now has an enemy he knows. Ned thinks that Sonny shouldn’t be surprised that someone has done this to him, with the life that he leads. He finds Sonny arrogant that he thought that Ned wouldn’t ever fight back after Kristina’s death. Sonny tells Ned that he has stepped into his world now and will be treated accordingly if he doesn’t get out now. He is way out of his head and his league if he really wants to play with the big boys. If he pulls a weapon, he better make sure that he means business or that may come back to haunt him. Shooting with blanks isn’t a good move for most mobsters.

Jason doesn’t want to hear what Brenda is saying. She has just told he and the judge that she loves her husband. The government official is there to give them their divorce but Brenda will not sign the papers. Jason signed first and now it is Brenda’s time to do it. She can’t…She loves Jason and has just admitted it to the judge. The man thinks that Jason is very lucky to have a woman such as this. Jason will hear none of it. Is she on drugs? The only person that she wants to be married to is her husband she says.

Alexis comes out to see Cameron and she is properly dressed as the old Alexis would be. ***Cameron tells her that he followed her that day to her sister’s memorial. She finds that nothing is sacred anymore. She feels stalked. She too looked into his business once. He is concerned about her. She has been losing time and finding her self in places without a clue as to how she got there. He asks her what she did that day. She tells him that she went to the cemetery and then she came home to get a delivery. She wanted to have a shower and did that after letting him in. Cameron tells her that she can continue stonewalling him or they can have dinner and she can then let him convince her some more that she is sane.

Sonny knows that Ned would like to come after Sonny man for man but he knows that Ned wouldn’t do that. Faith hates Sonny too but she doesn’t have the money to take Sonny down. The problem is that Ned doesn’t have the guts for violence and that is what is needed here. Ned doesn’t want that. Sonny thinks that he has been overestimating himself. Sonny thinks that Ned has been forcing him into a position for bargaining. Ned has given up his one advantage and that was the element of surprise. Ned reminds Sonny that the last thing that he needs is to bring attention to himself. Does Ned really want to do this? Sonny warns him to get out of this as fast as he can or else he will not have another opportunity. Sonny heads for the door but before he leaves he shouts out, “Big mistake Faith! You are not going to have a way out and this time it is going to cost you.” Sonny leaves and Ned shouts for Faith to come out. He looks at her and with a grim look on his face he tells her that was the sweetest double-cross that she has ever made.

Jax is at the diner when Scotty comes in. He has advice for Jax telling him to put away his white knight suit as there is nothing that he can pull out of his kangaroo pouch that is going to save Skye.

Brenda tells the government official that she really thinks that they should stay married. She knows in Jason’s heart, he really doesn’t want to lose her and she doesn’t want to lose him. There is nothing that can be done. Brenda refuses to sign the papers. Jason is fine with that and he pays the official, thanking him for his time. The judge leaves and Brenda is happy with that. Brenda thinks that they should go home now. Jason isn’t taking her home. He is taking her to Switzerland. Brenda isn’t going there. She is changing her mind. She tells him that Jax is the reason that she needs to stay married to Jason now.

Brenda wants to marry Jax but she is just worried as she doesn’t want to rush things. She didn’t tell Jason this before she had the pen in her hand. She knows that something…something is going to go wrong. Brenda has no idea if this is the right time. Jax might need more time. Things are moving too fast for her. She has been gone for 4 years and now she is here and she is supposed to have a good life and every time that she is to be happy, something goes wrong. She starts crying now. Jason is the only person that has never let her down. She knows that she should have signed the papers as Jason isn’t going to be her friend anymore. She has no other friends. She needs to sit still for a second before making another big decision. She expects Jason to make fun of her, but he finds that to be the first time that she has ever made any sense. Jax won’t understand this because he is going to think that she wants to put the wedding off because of Sonny. That is not what she is doing. She isn’t naïve. Sonny And she are not right forever. Jax feels jealous and threatened. She should be tired of holding Jax’s hand through everything but she isn’t. He does the same for her. Brenda is sorry about this. She will file for the annulment in Port Charles but it will take longer. She will tell Jax the truth. She will say that they were stranded and she thinks that they should get the annulment at home where it is legal. That will give her more time. Will Jason do this for her or not? His condition is that when they get in front of the judge, Brenda will say that she wants an annulment from him. She laughs. She wonders if he thought that she was into him. She laughs some more. Everything is settled now and they get their things to go. He gets his bag and heads to the door. She stops him to come and get her bags for her. He tells her that the bag has wheels. She knows that he doesn’t mean that and she leaves ahead of him. He knows when he is beat and he throws down his bags to go and get hers.

Scotty tells Jax that Skye is guilty as hell. Skye walks in and Scotty tells her to come clean and he will make her a deal. Scotty reminds Jax that he dumped his wife for his ex-girlfriend. Scotty leaves. Skye hates Scotty but Jax finds that he has a point in what he said.

Ned tells Faith that the partnership is over. He has all the trouble that he needs from his family and he doesn’t need her. Faith admits that she was the one that sent the gunman. She loves that Sonny has come there making threats and warnings. Ned thinks that she is wrong. Someone might come next to kill them. Faith knows that won’t happen as Sonny has a family. Everyone is watching him and this is the perfect time to take advantage of Sonny. Is Ned going to help her now or is he going to walk?

Sonny comes home and Courtney and Carly are talking. Courtney looks good. Sonny explains that he has checked into the shooting thing and everything is alright.

Sonny wants her as far away from Port Charles as possible.

Jax is helping Skye as he would like her to have a better life. She hurt him because she wanted to. She wishes that she had handled things better. He wishes her well and he will do anything to help her. That means a lot to her. He gets his coat and Skye knows that he and Brenda are getting married. He tells her that she is getting an annulment now. She tells him that she wishes that things work out for him.

Ned tells Faith again that she has given away the element of surprise, but they also know that Sonny will not resort to violence yet. They still have a chance to bring Sonny down and will continue as partners. Ned tells her that he will walk if she does that again and he will take his money with him. Ned reminds her that he is a Quartermaine and Sonny will have trouble killing her but she on the other hand could easily disappear.

Cameron and Alexis have just had dinner and they are out walking. Why is she so hard on herself? Kristina used to tell Alexis to slow down. She was very brave. He has questions about Kristina and wants to know more. Cameron would like to know about the woman herself. She was the opposite of Alexis. She was quirky and spontaneous and fun. She loved surprises. She believed in crystals and she was filled with joy and hope…and now she is dead. Alexis seems to be blaming herself for her sister’s death. Why is that?

Alexis says that her sister’s death was simple cause and effect. Zander comes up behind Cameron and Alexis and asks if Cameron has been bothering her. Alexis has no idea what is going on. Cameron explains that Zander is his son. Now Alexis gets it. “Oh my God!” Alexis asks if Cameron knows that Zander has been in Port Charles for years. Where the hell has Cameron been all this time? Before Alexis will let Cameron counsel her on her family, he will have to learn how to take care of his own. Alexis runs off. Zander is happy with that as he only wanted Alexis to know what kind of animal she has been dealing with.

Carly is happy with the shopping that she did that day. She tells Sonny that things were great. Sonny sees that she is hiding that something is wrong.
