At the warehouse, Dominic barged into Sonny's office just as Lulu asked what Sonny would do if he had learned that a cop was gathering evidence against him. Dominic eyes rounded, but he managed to hide his reaction from Sonny. Dominic instantly relaxed when Sonny assumed that Lulu had been referring to Lucky. Sonny assured Lulu that she didn't have to worry about Lucky. Lulu was hopeful that Sonny meant that he would never harm the child of a close friend.

Sonny clarified that she didn't have to worry because no police officer had ever been able to gather evidence against him. Sonny was confident that it would never happen. Before Lulu could ask any more questions, Sonny announced that he had business to attend to. However, Sonny wanted Dominic to remain behind. After the door closed behind Lulu, Sonny reminded Dominic that Lulu was special.

Sonny didn't want Lulu to be endangered because of her relationship with Dominic. Dominic promised to keep Lulu safe. He was curious if Sonny thought that Lulu liked him. Sonny smiled, but rather than answer Dominic's question, he reminded his young lieutenant that Lulu was waiting. When Dominic left the office, he found Lulu hovering near the door.

Dante and Lulu left the warehouse. When they reached the piers, Lulu informed Dante that he could release her arm. She promised not to run back to Sonny's office. Dante demanded to know if Lulu had been on the verge of telling Sonny that he was an undercover police officer. Lulu admitted that she had considered it. Dante was furious; he pointed out that Lulu was playing with his life.

Lulu insisted that she had been careful to speak in hypothetical terms. However, she realized how dangerous Dante's situation was when Sonny had asked Dante to remain in the office. Lulu feared that Sonny might have suspected that Dante was the police officer that she had referred to. Dante warned Lulu that they couldn't be certain that Sonny didn't have an inkling that Dante was working undercover.

Lulu argued that if there was a possibility that Sonny suspected Dante, then it was all the more reason for Dante to return to Bensonhurst. Dante insisted that Sonny had killed Claudia; he was determined to prove it. Dante then switched gears when he confessed that despite being on opposite sides of the law, he and Sonny agreed on one thing: Lulu was special. Dante kissed Lulu and then walked away.

At the penthouse, Jason stared at the picture that had been sent to him. When Spinelli arrived home, Jason explained that he needed Spinelli's assistance. Spinelli assured Jason that he would keep whatever information Jason shared with him confidential. Jason handed the picture to Spinelli. As Spinelli studied the photo of Claudia's body on the cabin floor, he realized that she was dead.

Jason explained that Michael had accidentally killed Claudia and that she had died instantly. Jason insisted that no one was supposed to have known about what had happened, yet someone had managed to snap a picture. Spinelli suspected that the picture might have been taken while Jason and Michael had been waiting for Sonny on the roadside.

Jason went to the warehouse to tell Sonny about the picture. As Sonny studied the photograph, he grumbled that even in death, Claudia seemed to cause problems. Sonny worried that the person who had sent the picture knew that Michael had killed Claudia. Jason disagreed; he was certain that the reason the picture had been sent to him was because the sender believed that Jason had done the deed.

Sonny ordered Jason to find the person who had sent the picture before the person went to the police with the information. Sonny didn't want the sender to have an opportunity to tell anyone what had happened at the cabin. Shortly after Jason left, Dominic returned to Sonny's office. Sonny decided to show Dominic the picture.

Dominic was curious who had killed Claudia, but Sonny reminded Dominic that it wasn't his place to ask questions. Sonny wanted Dominic to see if he could uncover any information about the picture. Sonny ordered Dominic to report back to him, and no one else, if he found anything.

Spinelli was busy trying to track down information about the picture of Claudia, when Sam arrived at the penthouse. She had good news. While Spinelli busily tapped away on his laptop, Sam revealed that their agency had been hired to oversee the security for an art gallery opening that Kate Howard had arranged. Sam was hopeful that the agency would get great publicity. Spinelli informed Sam that he would be too busy working on a secret project for Jason.

Sam was surprised when Spinelli handed her the picture of Claudia and then explained that Jason had received the picture from an anonymous sender. Shortly after Spinelli left, Jason arrived home. Sam was waiting for Jason with the picture in hand. She offered to help him track down the sender. Jason appreciated Sam's support. He was frustrated because he hadn't realized that someone had been lurking near the cabin. Sam feared that the picture was just the beginning of their troubles.

On the piers, Lucky questioned Maxie about what she had seen on the night of Claudia's disappearance. Lucky was particularly interested in knowing if Maxie had seen anything noteworthy at Sonny's house while she had been waiting for the pool repairman to arrive. Maxie claimed that she hadn't seen anything, but Lucky didn't believe her.

Maxie asked him why she would lie. Lucky suggested that perhaps she was afraid or she was protecting Spinelli. Maxie didn't think it was a good idea for Lucky to question her, given their history. When she started to leave, Lucky stopped her. He observed that she was trying much too hard to avoid answering his questions. As an addict, Lucky recognized the signs of denial.

Lucky pointed out that Maxie had a perfect view of Sonny's place from her car. Maxie argued that it had been raining too hard that night, so she had been unable to see through her windshield. Lucky decided not to push for answers, but he warned her that she might be subpoenaed to testify.

Maxie was working at Crimson when Spinelli entered the office. Maxie barked some orders into the phone and then ended the call. Spinelli was impressed by Maxie's fierceness. Maxie smiled as she explained that the art gallery event was important to the magazine and her career. It was one of the reasons that Maxie had pushed for Kate to hire Spinelli's agency.

Spinelli explained that he wouldn't be able to work on the art gallery opening because he was tied up with another project. Maxie was upset. She refused to allow Spinelli to back out on the event. Spinelli insisted that he didn't have a choice, but Maxie didn't believe him. Spinelli relented; he promised that he would always support her.

Patrick was surprised when he arrived home to discover a metal washtub, filled with ice and bottles of beer, sitting on the coffee table. Robin thought that Patrick had ordered it for game night. Patrick checked the card and then smiled as he revealed that his ex-girlfriend, Lisa, had sent the gift. Lisa wanted to show her appreciation for his help. Patrick chuckled when he realized that Lisa had sent him "Naked Beer."

A short time later, Matt, Mac, and Coleman arrived to watch the game with Patrick. Patrick told them that an old "drinking buddy" had sent the beer. Patrick revealed that during their college days, Lisa and Patrick had attended a party that had run out of booze. When they had decided to go in search of some beer, Lisa had found some guys brewing their own. Eventually, she had persuaded them to give her a couple of dozen beers. Patrick claimed that it had been the best beer that he had ever had.

According to Patrick, the microbrewers had gone on to win several awards. Coleman was impressed with the beer; he hoped that Patrick could arrange for Naked Beer to be sold at Jake's. As the guys watched the game and drank the beer, the doorbell rang. It was Louise. She had dropped by to see if Patrick had received Lisa's gift. Louise wanted to take a picture for Lisa of everyone enjoying the beer. Patrick invited Louise to be in the picture with them, so Robin took the picture.

As Louise settled down to watch the game with the boys, Robin served everyone pigs in a blanket. Mac was thrilled. As he helped himself to his favorite snack, Robin asked if Mac could baby-sit Emma for them on Friday night. Robin wanted to go out on a date with Patrick.

Mac revealed that he had plans to go to a bar that had a karaoke night. As Mac returned to the sofa, the phone rang. Patrick answered it. It was Lisa calling to see if Patrick had received her gift. Robin appeared a bit troubled when she heard Patrick tell Lisa that he wished that Lisa were there with them.

At the Quartermaine mansion, Nikolas admitted that he didn't think it was a good idea for Rebecca to host a dinner to celebrate Lucky and Elizabeth's engagement. Nikolas worried that some might question Rebecca's motives. When Rebecca suggested a small gathering at Wyndemere, Nikolas wondered why Rebecca was so eager to host a party for Lucky and Elizabeth. Rebecca claimed that she had always felt that Lucky had treated her fairly, even when he had told Nikolas about her reasons for her association with Ethan. She wanted to show Lucky her appreciation.

As Nikolas turned toward the mantel, he spotted a picture of Emily. Rebecca noticed. She softly admitted that she knew it was the anniversary of her sister's passing. They briefly talked about Emily before Rebecca suggested that they return to Wyndemere for a quiet dinner. Nikolas asked for a rain check. He claimed that he had would be tied up with business phone calls for most of the night. After Nikolas left, Rebecca appeared annoyed.

At the Haunted Star, Luke revealed to Elizabeth that he knew that she was having an affair with Nikolas. Elizabeth wondered how Luke had found out. Luke explained that he had seen her and Nikolas kissing on the piers. When Elizabeth apologized, Luke made it clear that he wasn't judging her. He had made his own fair share of mistakes.

Elizabeth wondered what Luke planned to do. Luke said he had intended to do nothing, but then he had decided to talk to Nikolas. Elizabeth was surprised that Nikolas and Luke had spoken. Luke claimed that Nikolas was too busy justifying himself to do right by Lucky. Elizabeth admitted that she had tried to tell Lucky about her relationship with Nikolas, but she couldn't hurt Lucky like that again. Luke argued that Lucky deserved to know the truth.

Elizabeth promised that she would never be with Nikolas again. Luke advised Elizabeth to tell Lucky that, not him. Elizabeth loved Lucky and she believed that they could be happy together. She didn't want to alleviate her own guilt at Lucky's expense. She begged Luke not to tell Lucky.

After Elizabeth left, Luke called Lucky. When Lucky arrived at the casino, he assumed that Luke wanted to discuss Sonny's role in Claudia's sudden disappearance. Luke clarified that he wanted to talk about Lucky and Elizabeth. Luke insisted that Elizabeth wasn't telling Lucky everything. Lucky snidely commented that they had a therapist to advise them. Luke urged Lucky to look closer at his relationship with Elizabeth. Lucky hated that Luke had given up on love, but he refused to follow in his father's footsteps.

When Luke warned Lucky that he was making a mistake, Lucky announced that it was his mistake to make. Lucky ordered Luke to keep his doubts to himself, then he stormed out of his father's casino.

Elizabeth went to Wyndemere to talk to Nikolas. Nikolas had seen the launch approach; he had hoped that Elizabeth had been on it. Elizabeth wondered why Nikolas hadn't warned her that Luke knew about their affair. Nikolas confessed that he hadn't wanted to use the news as an excuse to see or talk to Elizabeth. Elizabeth suspected that Nikolas had hoped that Lucky would somehow learn the truth.

Nikolas admitted that a part of him did want Lucky to know. Nikolas believed that he deserved Lucky's resentment and anger. Elizabeth was curious if Nikolas wanted Lucky to break things off with Elizabeth, so that Nikolas could help her pick up the pieces. Rather than answer her, Nikolas demanded to know what Elizabeth wanted. Elizabeth revealed that she wanted to feel for Lucky what she felt for Nikolas. Nikolas was reflective as Elizabeth walked away.

At the stalker's warehouse, a Claudia look-alike posed on the floor. She appeared dead until her eyes snapped open and she asked, "Can I get up now?" As the model slipped on a robe, an answering machine picked up a call. It was the stalker's agent, calling to confirm that the art gallery opening had been confirmed for Friday. She didn't understand why the man had wanted to have an exhibit in upstate New York, but she warned him to be a "good boy." She didn't want any trouble like "the last time."
