Johnny goes to the Penthouse and tells Spinelli
he needs to know the location of the cabin where Carly had her baby. Spinelli
tells him he doesn’t know. Johnny says he is sure Spinelli at least knows which
direction it is. Spinelli tells Johnny he cannot tell him and warns him that
pursuing this is dangerous. He reminds Johnny that Claudia was responsible for
getting a young boy shot and she kidnapped Carly when she was in labor. Johnny
tells Spinelli that no matter what Claudia may have done, he still has to help
her. Johnny leaves.
In Carly’s hospital room, she tells Jax that Michael has suffered enough because
of Claudia; she can’t subject him to a police investigation. Jax tells her that
Claudia’s disappearance will be investigated. Carly says the police will talk to
Sonny and Jason. They have no reason to think Michael was involved. Jax says
they may find evidence. Carly says Jason and Sonny are covering up the evidence.
Jax tells her there is no way to commit the perfect crime. Carly says Sonny and
Jason have never been more motivated. Jax tells Carly she isn’t helping Michael
by going along with it. Carly protests that she is trying to protect her son.
Jax tells Carly that Michael has been confused since he came out of the coma. He
is trying to find someplace to fit in. he tells her that Michael is already
attracted to Sonny’s lifestyle. Jax reminds Carly that Michael asked her about
Sonny’s business because he wanted to be a part of it. Carly tells him that
Sonny would never let that happen. Jax asks Carly if she doesn’t think Michael
is learning that the solution to a problem is to cover it up. He tells her that
if he thinks it is ok to lie, cheat, and cover things up he will turn out just
like his father. Carly protests that Michael knows better. Jax tells Carly to
think about how she handles Carly’s death because her decision will determine
whether Michael follows his father’s life or chooses the better life that Carly
always wanted for him.
At Sonny’s house, the power is out from the storm. Sonny is stoking a fire in
the fireplace. Dominic comes into the living room and tells Sonny he just
stopped by to check in. He tells Sonny he and Lulu Spencer checked the Zacchara
mansion to see if Claudia took Carly there but it was a dead end. He tells Sonny
about the floor collapsing and lulu being trapped in the flooded basement until
the rescue crew got her out. He tells Sonny that when he went to the hospital
with Lulu, he found out that Sam found Carly and the baby, but didn’t see
Claudia. He asks Sonny if he needs any assistance with that. The power comes
back on and Dominic can see that Sonny is burning clothing in the fireplace.
Sonny tells him no, he has everything handled. Dominic offers to help clean up.
Jason enters the room. Sonny tells Jason that Dominic wants to know if he needs
help with tonight’s job.
Elizabeth enters the hospital. Nikolas is sitting there so she asks him how Lulu
is. He says he doesn’t know because he just arrived too. Elizabeth asks him what
happened. He tells her that he only knows that she was trapped in freezing water
when a building collapsed and she is stable now. Elizabeth asks Nikolas if he
called Lucky. He tells her he did but Lucky is in the field right now. Elizabeth
tells him she isn’t sure they should go to Lulu’s room together, but Nikolas
reminds her that they are supposed to appear as though nothing has changed
between them. They head off together to Lulu’s room.
Luke is in Lulu’s hospital room with her. She asks her father what he meant by
the crack about Claudia and cement shoes. Luke asks her if she thinks Sonny will
let her live after all this. Lulu says that if someone murders her now, everyone
will know that it was Sonny. Luke tells her that Claudia will simply disappear
and her body will never be found. Lulu says this is a little cold. Luke tells
her that Sonny has good reasons to want to see Claudia on a metal slab. He
reminds her that Claudia was responsible for Michael getting shot and then
married Sonny and made a fool of him before this kidnapping. Luke says his guess
is that Dominic is out there tying up loose ends right now.
Elizabeth and Nikolas enter Lulu’s hospital room and ask how she is feeling. She
tells them she is feeling much better. Elizabeth tells her that they are glad
she is ok. Lulu tells them the details of her ordeal. She says she probably
would have panicked if Dominic hadn’t been there keeping her distracted with
lame jokes and conversation. Nikolas says he is glad she had company even if it
was Dominic. Lulu tells him Dominic is a decent guy. Nikolas reminds her that
Dominic works for Sonny.
Tracy and Ethan enter Lulu’s hospital room. Ethan asks her how she is apart from
being waterlogged. She says she is glad to be on dry land. Tracy asks Lulu what
she was thinking. She says Claudia was armed and dangerous. Lulu could have been
shot. Luke tells Tracy this is not the time or place. Tracy asks him if he
approves of Lulu’s actions. Luke says he is proud of Lulu for keeping her head
in a difficult situation. Ethan says he heard that Dominic came to her rescue
and asks Lulu if that means he has to start playing nice with him. Lulu says not
him too. Ethan asks if he misses something. Nikolas says they were just
reminding Lulu that Dominic works for Sonny. Lulu says she loves that they are
protective of her and that they agree on something but she thinks that if they
got to know Dominic they would like him. Nikolas tells her she is far too
trusting. Elizabeth tells Nikolas that Lulu is a big girl and he should have a
little faith in her decisions. Nikolas tells Lulu not to let Dominic persuade
her that he is a victim of circumstance; he chose to do what he does. Lulu says
it is not always that simple. Elizabeth says she is going to get coffee and asks
if anyone wants anything. Tracy wants a decaf nonfat no-foam latte. Luke wants a
black coffee. Nikolas goes with Elizabeth. Luke watches them go. Ethan goes over
to the now vacant chair by Lulu’s bed and chats with her while Tracy asks Luke
what is do fascinating about Nikolas and Elizabeth.
At Sonny’s house, Jason says everything is taken care of. Sonny asks about the
cabin. Jason says they burned it down. Dominic interjects that it has been
raining. He asks if Jason wants to go back to the cabin to make sure nothing is
left. He says if the cops find any little thing they will send it to the lab.
Sonny agrees that there is no room for error. Sonny asks Jason if he thinks they
should send Dominic to check it out. Jason shrugs his shoulders. Dominic says he
will go do it now and asks where he is going. Sonny tells him route 86, half a
mile past Broad River Bridge. He says the blue sedan Claudia was driving is
wrecked by the roadside. Dominic says he will make sure the cabin is in ashes as
he leaves. Jason asks Sonny how Michael is doing. Sonny says he is better than
expected. He says he is pretty sure Michael understands he had to do what he
did.
In Carly’s hospital room, Jax holds her hands and reminds her that when Michael
was shot she went through hell blaming herself for exposing him to Sonny’s world
even though Sonny swore Michael would never be a part of it. Carly says Michael
won’t be a part of it. Jax tells her covering up the fact that Michael killed
Claudia is Sonny’s way but it doesn’t have to be Carly or Michael’s way. He says
that telling the truth will help Michael to face what he has done and understand
that he is not a killer who needs to hide from the law.
Detective Williams comes to the door of Carly’s room and says he is there to
take their statements. Carly invites him in. he asks her how she is doing. She
tells him that her healthy baby eclipses everything else. He asks her to tell
him about the “everything else” from her point of view. Carly tells the
detective that her ex-husband, Sonny confronted Claudia at her party in front of
her guests. She relays that Sonny told Claudia that he had proof that she was
responsible for their son Michael’s shooting. She says Claudia freaked out,
grabbed her purse, took out a gun, grabbed Carly, and took her hostage. Carly
says she went into labor at that point and Claudia forced her into a car that
was parked outside of the hotel and she took off. Carly says she begged Claudia
to let her go but Claudia wouldn’t listen. She says Claudia started talking
crazy, saying that she wanted to take Carly’s baby.
Johnny walks up to Carly’s’ hospital room door and stops to listen when he hears
Carly recounting her story. Carly continues that she had to stop Claudia so she
grabbed the steering wheel to try to force her to stop the car and they crashed.
Detective Williams asks where they crashed. Carly says Route 86 about half a
mile past Broad River Bridge. Hearing that, Johnny takes off.
Sam enters the penthouse and asks if Spinelli has heard from Jason. Spinelli
says no, and he assumes Jason is attempting to minimize Spinelli’s knowledge of
certain criminal events that may have transpired. Sam tells him that she just
returned from dropping Carly and the baby off at the hospital and she thinks
everything will be ok. Spinelli says that is excellent news. Sam asks him if he
has told anyone that she and Jason were together. Spinelli says his lips are
sealed. Sam asks him to make certain to be silent if Johnny asks. Spinelli
reveals that Johnny was just there, clearly distressed, fearing for the life of
his sister, and determined to find her. Sam says she feels badly for Johnny
because even though Claudia was a terrible person, she was his sister and the
only person who was loyal to him. Spinelli says he thinks Johnny suspects foul
play, most likely at the hand of Stone Cold. Sam says what if Johnny does
something stupid like try to avenge her death. Spinelli says Stone Cold will
have to defend himself. Sam observes that Jason and Johnny have become allies
and friends but now because of Claudia they could wind up killing each other.
At the hospital, an elevator door opens. Johnny attempts to get on it, but Maxie
is exiting it and bumps into Johnny, causing him to miss the elevator. Maxie
says Lulu told her she is not coming to work today because she almost drowned in
a cave-in at his old house. He confirms that it is true, but they got her out of
there. He says they were there looking for Carly and Claudia but didn’t find
them. Maxie says this must be terrible for Johnny. She tells him that everybody
thinks Sonny went after Claudia and she thinks that he did because she saw him
outside his house earlier with blood all over his shirt.
In Carly’s hospital room, she continues to tell her story to Detective Williams.
She says it was pouring with rain and she could barely see, even with the
flashlight. She tells him that she found a cabin and went in because she knew
the baby was coming. She says she gathered as many things as she could find to
deliver her baby. Detective Williams asks her if no one was with her. Carly says
no. She tells him that Sam showed up later and brought her and the baby to the
hospital. He asks her when the last time she saw Claudia was. Carly says after
the car crash, she woke up and Claudia was unconscious in the front seat. She
says she said Claudia’s name but Claudia never moved. She says she wanted to get
away from her so she could take care of herself and her baby, so she just left
Claudia there. Jax looks very disappointed. Detective Williams asks Carly if she
has any idea what happened to Claudia. Carly says no. Detective Williams asks
her if she saw or talked to Sonny or Jason. She tells him that the last time she
saw them was at the Metro Court. Detective Williams turns off his recorder and
tells Carly that he is glad she and the baby are alright. He leaves. Jax tells
Carly she just made a terrible mistake. Carly says she protected her son just
like Jax protected his brother. She tells him he knew that Jerry was involves in
Michael’s shooting but never said a word. She asks him how he could lie to her.
In front of the hospital elevator, Johnny tells Maxie he is surprised Sonny
didn’t see her. Maxie tells him that she was at Kate’s house and happened to see
Sonny pull up. He asks her how she knows Sonny was in the car. She explains that
the power was out so he had to get out of the car to open the gate. She tells
him that when the headlights hit him she could see a bloody handprint on his
shirt. She tells him she shouldn’t be telling him any of this. Johnny tells her
it is fine; it actually helps. Johnny leaves.
At Sonny’s house, Jason says the cops will not believe that Claudia just
disappeared without a trace. Sonny tells him that the police will get warrants
and will question them, but as long as everybody has their story straight, they
are in the clear. He says the evidence is gone and Claudia is buried. Jason
reminds Sonny that when Michael thought he ran Claudia off the road he went to
the police and confessed. Jason is concerned that Michael might do that again.
Sonny says Michael will not do that because he has grown up since then. He says
that he and Michael had a good conversation on the way home and Michael
understands that Claudia had to be stopped. Sonny assures Jason that he will get
Michael through this.
Dominic inspects the site of the burned out cabin. He hears a gun cock behind
him so he draws his gun and turns around. Recognizing Johnny standing there,
Dominic lowers his gun. Johnny asks him if they already did this once tonight as
they had a similar encounter when they both went to the Zacchara mansion looking
for Claudia. Dominic says it would be tough on Lulu if the guys who saved her
ended up killing each other. Johnny says Dominic didn’t waste any time. He must
have dropped off Lulu and come directly here to torch the place. Dom says the
place was like this when he got there. Johnny concludes that Dominic is there to
clean up any leftover evidence that might incriminate Sonny. Dominic is
surprised that Johnny mentioned Sonny. Johnny says Sonny "offed" his sister.
At Sonny’s house, Michael comes down the stairs freshly showered. Sonny asks how
Michael is feeling. Michael says he doesn’t know; he is just cold inside and
kind of numb. Sonny says part of that is Adrenaline because he has been through
a serious trauma and it hasn’t settled in. Michael says it is weird because he
is so used to being confused and angry but now he is just calm. Sonny tells
Michael that the reality of what happened is going to hit him like a ton of
bricks and he will begin to doubt himself and wonder if what he did was wrong.
Sonny says he is not saying that it is ok to kill someone for no reason, bur if
Michael starts to have those feelings he is to come talk to Sonny about it.
Sonny assures Michael that he did the right thing. Michael says that it may have
been inevitable that Claudia would be killed, but to say it was right… Sonny
tells Michael that Claudia put herself in that position and she knew how it was
going to end. He says he is sorry that it fell on Michael, but he thanks God
that he was able to save his mom’s life.
In Carly’s hospital room, Jax says he did not cover for his brother. He tells
him Jerry sent him a ridiculous DVD and said he was in on a plot with Claudia to
kill Sonny. Carly asks him when he got the DVD. He says he got it the night they
renewed their vows. Carly is shocked that Jax knew all this time yet said
nothing. He tells her they were so happy and had just gotten their lives back
together after Sonny almost ruined everything. Carly tells him not to make this
about Sonny. He tells her he struggled with his decision. She tells him he
decided to lie. He says it is not that simple. She tells him she doesn’t
understand after they worked so hard to regain their trust and promised that
they wouldn’t play any more games or manipulate each other. He tells her that
his biggest fear was that she would see Jerry when he looks at him and he didn’t
want to lose her. She yells at him that he knew who shot her son. He tells her
that he wanted to tell her but then they found out she was pregnant with a life
threatening condition and that stress could kill her. He asks her what he was
supposed to do; he couldn’t dump that on him.
Jason knocks on Carly’s door and says he came to check on her. Jax says it is a
bad time; they are in the middle of something. Carly tells Jax to go; she wants
to talk to Jason alone. Jax exits. Carly is crying. Jason asks her what
happened. She tells him that Jax knew Claudia was dangerous and that Jerry was
behind shooting Michael, but he said nothing. Jason doesn’t respond. He picks up
Josslyn from the bassinet and tells her that her mom needs her right now. He
places the baby in Carly’s arms.
Tracy and Luke are walking in the hospital corridor with Elizabeth and Nikolas
behind them and Ethan behind them. Tracy says they need to complain to the
nursing staff about Lulu’s care. Luke says this is not the time to harangue the
staff. Tracy says the water pitcher was empty and there were no paper towels;
that is inexcusable. Nikolas presses the call button for the elevator and the
doors immediately open. He escorts Elizabeth onto the elevator. Ethan goads him,
telling him that he thought his posturing was saved for Rebecca. Nikolas tells
Ethan that they have managed to remain civil for Lulu’s sake and suggests that
they continue. Ethan says that would be easier if Nikolas stopped lying to
Rebecca’s face. The elevator doors close. Luke tells Ethan that he is flogging a
dead horse. Ethan says that seems to be a common theme. Luke says that if Ethan
wants to mix it up with Nikolas he can go right ahead. Ethan says he will get
Rebecca away from Nikolas. Ethan walks away. Tracy returns and announces to Luke
that the nurses have hopped to it; her work here is done. She asks Luke what the
frustrated look on his face is about. He says there is nothing uglier than
witnessing a family train wreck and the Spencers are headed for a nasty one.
In Carly’s hospital room, she holds baby Josslyn and coos to her, telling her
she is a miracle. She tells the baby that her mom and dad are happy to have her
and that her dad would be there right now, but he just made a really bad mistake
because the horrible things that happened tonight would not have happened if he
had told the truth. Jax watches through the window.
At Sonny’s house, he reminds Michael about when he took him to the coffee
warehouse to show him his legitimate business. He says he was fooling himself.
He says that keeping one of his businesses clean doesn’t make it legitimate. He
explains that the coffee business is a front for everything that he does.
Michael says he has always known that. Sonny tells him that what he is saying is
that everything he does affects Michael, whether Sonny likes it or not. He
starts to tell him that things would be different if Michael was the son of a
doctor or a lawyer. Michael says he is Sonny’s son. He tells his father that he
is always trying to protect him, but he doesn’t need to be protected; he accepts
the life his father lives. Sonny tells Michael that he wants him to move on, put
this behind him, and have a normal life, go to college and get an education.
Michael says he can learn from Sonny; he built success out of nothing and people
treat him with respect. Sonny says that is because they are afraid of him.
Michael says Sonny is a leader. Sonny screams “No, no, no!” He says he built
everything that he has so his children can have the opportunities that he never
had. He says he wants Michael to be better than him. Michael tells his father
that no one is better than he is.
At the burned out cabin, Dominic asks Johnny if Sonny confessed to murdering
Claudia. Johnny says he did not talk to Sonny, but he knows pretty much of what
happened. He tells Dominic that Claudia and Carly got into the car and ended up
here in this cabin where Jason and Sam found them. He guesses that Carly had
already had the baby by then so Sam took Carly and the baby to the hospital. He
concludes that Jason waited here with Claudia fir sonny to arrive. Dominic
suggests the possibility that Claudia escaped and headed to the Canadian border.
Johnny asks Dominic if he really thinks Sonny would let Claudia live. He says
Sonny is just like Anthony. When someone crosses them, they must be eliminated.
Dominic concedes that Claudia crossed Sonny. Johnny tells Dominic that he is not
saying his sister was a good person. He admits that when Claudia felt threatened
or cornered she did crazy, destructive things. He says sonny is worse because he
is deliberate and cold-blooded. Dominic says that right now, nothing says Sonny
did anything. Johnny concludes that Sonny killed her. The only things to wonder
about are whether she suffered or begged for her life. He says that maybe that
is how Sonny got the bloody handprint on his chest. Dominic asks Johnny if Sonny
had Claudia’s blood on his shirt. Johnny tells Dominic that Maxie was parked on
Harbor View Road when Sonny came home and had to get out of his car to open the
Gate because the power was out and she saw the bloody handprint on his shirt.
Johnny says Sonny killed her; the only questions are how much she suffered and
what they did with the body. Dominic says Johnny that he will need help and he
owes Johnny, so they will work together to figure out how Claudia died and where
she is buried.
Sam is playing pool by herself at the penthouse when Jason returns home. She
tells him he looks as exhausted as she feels. He says it has been a long night.
She tells him that Spinelli went to Maxie’s place. She says she hopes Jason
doesn’t mind that she decided to hang out in his penthouse. He kisses her and
thanks her for taking Carly and the baby to the hospital. She says she is glad
she could help. He asks her if the police have talked to her yet. She says no,
but they did leave a message on her answering machine saying that they want to
bring her in for questioning. He tells her that he knows what she is going to
say and tells her there is no evidence to contradict her story. She says that is
fine, but she is worried about him because the police have been after him and
Sonny for years. She says the police are going to comb every inch of that cabin,
inside and out. He says he did his best to make sure that nothing was left that
will implicate him, Sonny, or Michael. He reflects that Claudia is gone; it is
finally over.
The song “Mad World” plays as the camera pans through a cluttered building that
appears to be an abandoned warehouse except for the open liquor bottle and glass
on a table behind an out-of-place sofa. Pictures of Jason, pictures of crime
scenes, and articles about Jason and the mob are on the walls and on a large
table. Jason’s name is written repeatedly on a chalkboard. Someone places a new
photograph of Jason burying Claudia on top of Jason’s fingerprint card. The
final image as the camera fades out is a canvas with the graffiti tag that
Dominic has seen all over town painted on it.
