Wyndemere – Study
Patrick is listening outside the study doors. Nikolas tells CJC that they can’t just shut people out of their lives. CJC thinks they can. Patrick recognizes CJC’s voice. He accidentally bumps against the door. CJC pulls his gun and calls out. Patrick hightails it out of there. CJC goes to the door and looks out into the hallway but no one’s there. Nikolas tells him to put the gun away. He has staff and he doesn’t want to have to explain to them that his houseguest accidentally shot the butler who was bringing tea. CJC says he’ll have no problems shooting staff if they make him nervous. Robin asks CJC (again) why he’s even still there. CJC says he has other plans. Robin says he’ll get caught eventually. CJC tells Robin that she’s a bit of a goody-two-shoes and thinks that next she’ll start to lecture him about the guardianship. Nikolas explains the whole thing to Robin. Robin is confused that Laura wouldn’t have named Luke. CJC wonders what’s so special about Laura. Robin says Laura is catatonic. CJC wonders what all the fuss is over a vegetable. Nikolas takes exception to that comment and tells CJC to shut up about his mother. He threatens that if CJC does anything to harm Laura… CJC pulls his gun on Nikolas and asks “what will you do?” Nikolas tells CJC that he’s a dead man without him. CJC relents and says that “mom is off-limits.” CJC leaves.

Amelia is looking at the pictures of “Angela Monroe.” Jason asks if those are the pictures from the photo shoot. Amelia says they’re just test shots. Jason apologizes for startling her. He just wanted to see how the show works. Amelia is glad that Jason’s taking an interest. Sam shows Jason around. He sees that she’s very excited by it all. A reporter comes in and starts asking questions. Amelia asks the reporter how he got in. He motions to AArun. She kicks him out and “berates” AArun for letting him in. Amelia apologizes. Jason says it’s okay. He kisses Sam goodbye and leaves. I’ve started noticing this little quirk that “Jason” has. Right after he kisses “Sam” he wipes his mouth. Now, I wonder if that’s because Steve Burton doesn’t like kissing Kelly Monaco or if her lipstick/lipgloss gets all over him or if Kelly Monaco is a big slobbery kisser. Seriously though, watch Steve Burton every time they kiss and you’ll see him wipe his mouth. I think I might start keeping track of the KissWipes. Sam wonders if she’s good for this job. She feels like she’s leaving Jason behind. Amelia fakes concern and Sam opens up to her about not being a mother and her and Jason’s life. She says this job will be great for her since she won’t have children to focus on, but Jason will never get the chance to be a dad. Sam says she feels selfish. Amelia tells her to stop believing that she doesn’t deserve this. Sam realizes that Amelia is right and goes off to rehearse. AArun comes over to Amelia with more info on “Angela and Bill Monroe.”

Luke’s not sure he believes her. She says he’ll just have to trust her. She tries to convince him to let Nikolas fight Scotty since Nikolas will win. Tracy says that she’ll find a way to blackmail Scotty. Alice begrudgingly announces Mayor Floyd (His first name is Garrett. Should I start calling him that or Floyd?). Tracy wants Floyd to fire Scotty. Floyd says he has no reason to do so. Tracy brings up the fact that Scotty faked his own death to flee criminal charges. Floyd says those were rumors. Was Floyd the Mayor when the PC Hotel burned down? He defends Scotty as a first rate attorney who will help clean up the crime in Port Charles. Luke is amazed. Whatever Scotty’s got on Floyd, it must be a doozy. Floyd doesn’t take too kindly to the implication and calls Luke a leech on society. Luke points out that he used to be Mayor. Floyd leaves. Tracy tells Luke to calm down before he lands himself back in jail. Luke says he’s heard that before. He tells Tracy that if he loses Laura, their marriage is over.

She knows that he’s up to something illegal and wants him to spill it. Spinelli is accessing the GH records for updates on Jason’s baby. Lulu tells him not to say that out loud. Spinelli says it’s not fair that Jason doesn’t get to be a dad. Lulu tells him that it’s not their decision to make. Spinelli says that’s true but that he reserves the right to report stuff back to Jason. Lulu asks Spinelli if he’s mad at her. He says he’s not, things are just messed up and he doesn’t know how to fix things. Lulu understands.

Nikolas gets off the phone with his lawyer. He tells Robin that the lawyer will look into options for fighting Scotty. Robin wonders why Alexis isn’t getting involved. Nikolas says she’s too sick. Robin wonders if Alexis suspects anything about CJC. Nikolas says it’s the opposite; Alexis trusts him enough that she had him look after Kristina. Robin says that can’t be good. Nikolas wonders if he should just sign over guardianship to Luke. Robin says no. It’s not a good way to honor Laura’s wishes. Nikolas agrees. Robin apologizes for being pushy.

Carly suggest Rice Manor, over by the lake. Jax will make the arrangements.

Laura is gone and she’s never coming back. She is getting sick and tired of waiting for Luke to realize it. She walks out.

Wyndemere – Bluff
CJC is walking when Patrick comes out and hits him with a big branch. He says he knows CJC is the psycho from the McHostage crisis. He hits CJC a couple more times. He demands to know why CJC is making Robin and Nikolas go through this. CJC tells Patrick it must be a relief to finally know the truth. Patrick whips out his cell phone to call the cops. This leaves CJC with a chance and he tackles Patrick and proceeds to punch him in the face several times. And for all that punching, Patrick’s face isn’t a mass of swelling and bruising later on. After the punching, he grabs Patrick and starts dragging him towards the edge of the bluffs. Robin comes running and screaming “NO!” She jumps on CJC, but he pushes her off and throws her to the ground.
