Britt tells Patrick that the day before was one of the worst days she's had. She tells him that she would never make Emma unhappy or petty enough to tell Emma that she doesn't like Emma. Patrick asks her if she thinks Emma was making it up. Britt tells him that maybe she was to get attention or get out of trouble for running away.

AJ asks why Connie would lie. Sonny says the same reason that she won't drop the charges against Kristina: to prove that she's not Kate and never will be.

Tracy tries to convince Luke that she didn't leak the story. She tells him how she married Anthony Zacchara to keep the story quiet, so why would she now turn around and sabotage herself.

Tracy tells Luke that he can see right through her.

Sam and McBain try to convince Allison of who McBain is. She still doesn't believe them McBain tells her that she can wave crosses around and they won't do anything to him. Allison says she knows what he's trying to do but Lucy saw who he really was and knew that he had to die so she stabbed him.

Lucy tells Kevin that she knows he hates to hear it but he is being deceived. She says that Caleb even made Livvie forget who she is. Kevin tells her that Sam is not Livvie but Alexis' daughter Sam. Lucy refuses to believe it and Kevin asks why Alexis would introduce Sam to him as her daughter, why she would lie about it. Lucy tells him that he has to trust her because she's the slayer and she sees the truth and that "Livvie" is in danger.

He tells her that they're broke and homeless. Molly suggests a shelter but he declines, saying his mother would only get more paranoid in a shelter. Molly notices him looking at the stale bread she was going to use to feed ducks and offers to buy him something to eat. After some convincing, Rafe agrees to go with her, then steps away to hide his backpack.

Lucy tries to convince Kevin that Caleb is around and is even more dangerous because he is hiding behind a badge. Kevin tells her that if he was doing that, it puts him at even greater risk because he encounters more people. Lucy makes an argument for Caleb having hypnotized everyone, including Kevin.

She wants to know why he kissed her if not for the story. Sonny ignores her and tells Michael that he knows that working with ELQ is what he wants so when he was meeting with Tracy and she asked for his help, he turned her down. He says that he respects Edward and Michael too much and asks Michael to believe him because he didn't do it.

Rafe asks Molly if she babysits a lot and Molly says not as much as she'd like. She tells him how Alexis and Sam are helping Kristina. Rafe says it sounds like he's not the only one with problem relatives. Molly tells him not even close and that it seems her family goes from one crisis to the next. Rafe says that he feels the same way about Allison dragging him from one city to the next. He often imagines what it would be like to be free of his mother and taking care of himself instead of depending on the kindness of strangers.

Allison looks for Rafe, calling out to him. She finds his backpack and his stake. She is upset that he has no way to defend himself. She runs off to look for him.

McBain and Sam notice that the information on Allison doesn't mention a son of go past the wedding announcement they are reading. They also notice that there's nothing about a Caleb or a Livvie or why Allison would think that they are Caleb and Livvie.

As she hangs up, Patrick asks if everything is ok. Sabrina tells him that the bank put a stop pay on Tracy's check.

Michael tells Sonny that he doesn't know what to believe. Connie tries to convince Michael that she's telling him the truth by calling Sonny a control freak and reminding him of when Sonny kidnapped her.

He tells Michael that there are many ways that he could hurt AJ but he doesn't for Michael's sake. Michael tells Sonny he has only himself to blame for this and he leaves with AJ. Sonny is upset as he yells at Connie that she knows he didn't give her the records for the story. He demands to know why she lied. Connie says she wants to know why he kissed her. Sonny asked if she felt a connection. She tells him that's what he wanted. He wanted her to weaken so she will back off of Kristina.

Michael concedes that they don't know that Sonny did plant the story and that Connie could be lying. AJ reminds Michael how far Sonny would go to hurt him. He says that he's sorry that Michael got caught up on it. Michael says not to worry about it, it's done. AJ agrees and tells him that the two of them need to try to salvage Edward's legacy. Michael promises that he is in it with AJ and will help. AJ tells Michael how much he appreciates it and then wavers physically as he leans on his desk. Michael asks if he's ok and AJ thinks his blood sugar suddenly dropped. Michael goes to his office to order something for them to eat so they can get started working. AJ sits in a chair and takes a few breaths to try to calm himself.

Luke wonders how he is supposed to help find a missing Quartermaine heir. Tracy tells him that according to Ned, Carly knows something about it and she needs him to find out what.

He wishes he could pay her for the food, gives her a flower, calling them "flowers for the dead" and leaves.

McBain tells Sam that he can't guarantee any kind of coherent answer from Lucy but they can ask. Sam reminds him how he's set Lucy off twice already and volunteers to go talk to Lucy. McBain reminds her that both Todd and Heather are in Ferncliff as well. Sam promises to stay away from them and thinks that Lucy wanting to protect Livvie could work to her advantage. McBain asks if she's going in as a civilian consultant. Sam says she'll let him know when she gets back and she heads out. McBain asks her to be careful and she leaves. As Sam leaves, McBain's phone rings. It's Allison telling him where she is and that she thinks they should meet.

Allison waits alone at Pier 52 and hears footsteps. She hides with her stake in hand and tells him to bring it on as she waits to stake McBain.

Patrick tries to convince Sabrina of Britt's version of things as his pager goes off. He asks if they can talk about it later because he has to take the call. Sabrina agrees. Britt returns with more files for Sabrina and asks where Patrick was. Sabrina tells her that he had to take a call. Britt is glad because she wants to talk to Sabrina alone. She tells Sabrina it was a nice try to blame her for Emma running away. Sabrina says she only repeated what Emma told her. Britt tells Sabrina that now Patrick sees the truth and that Emma isn't so perfect. Sabrina tells her that children act out. Britt then goes on the attack to Sabrina, telling her that she is going to repeat what she told Emma: that she is not going anywhere, that she and Patrick will be together and there's nothing that she or Patrick's "spoiled brat of a daughter" can do about it. She turns to leave and comes face to face with Patrick.

Michael tells her that Connie told them that Sonny leaked the story to him. Tracy is clearly surprised.

Connie tells Sonny that she's not afraid of him. He asks why she can't look him in the eyes. He tells her that Michael will come around because Michael knows him and that he'll get Kristina freed of the charges but what will happen to Connie? She could spend 20 years in prison for her charges. He predicts that she'll get what she wants but her life will be hell. He then leaves her.
