In her hospital room, Chloe and Jax hugged as Chloe cried, feeling sorry for herself. Jax reassured her that after 72 hours the swelling in her brain would go down and she would be able to see again, and they exchanged endearments. Tony came in, but not in time to hear, and examined her eyes as Jax went to wait in the hallway. Alexis and Ned arrived and asked Jax if there was any change, and he said they should know soon. Tony and Chloe joked about designer lab coats, and he was reassuring about her progress before leaving the room. Alexis came in next, bringing Chloe some chocolate truffles, while Tony talked with Ned and Jax in the hall. Tony was less positive with them, saying that the swelling is going down, but not fast enough, and that she should be able to see light and dark by now, which she cannot do. Ned pressed Tony for a prognosis, but all he could advise was to wait. Jax said he would seek a second opinion, and Tony agreed to it, apologizing for not being able to give them better news. Back in the room, Chloe tried to count her blessings, but when Alexis encouraged her not to hide her feelings, she began to cry again. Alexis realized she'd just made matters worse and apologized, and Chloe vowed once more not to indulge in any more self-pity. Alexis left the room as Jax and Ned watched with grim expressions. Ned went in next, assuring Chloe that he would take care of business. In the hall, Jax informed Alexis of the uncertain prognosis and vowed to do whatever he can to help. Chloe sent the three of them home to have some fun, but only Ned and Alexis left. Jax remained, and asked Chloe if she would like to do something tomorrow to celebrate her release from ICU. Chloe said she would like to go dancing in the snow in the moonlight, wearing a blue dress, and Jax fantasized about that until Chloe fell asleep.
Bobbie and Sonny, in the park, discussed Carly and Michael. Sonny said that he'd seen the kind of damage Carly can do, and "all [Carly and Sonny] agree on is the kid." Bobbie jumped to the conclusion that Carly had told him about his impending fatherhood, and asked "So, she told you?" but realized her mistake when Sonny replied "Told me what?" She tried to back out of it, but Sonny pressed for information: what was Carly supposed to have told him? Bobbie said that Carly feels Michael needs Sonny because he's exposed to so much fighting in the Quartermaine house, and Sonny replied that he intended to keep the promise to Jason to watch over Michael, but encouraged Bobbie to tell him what is really going on.
On the docks, Roy condemned Sonny as Hannah defended him, insisting that Sonny didn't love her and never had. Hannah asked why Roy was so angry, and even after Roy apologized, pressed him to tell her what Sonny'd done to earn this much wrath. Hannah insisted that what they'd had was real, but Roy claimed that Sonny was only using her, that he's slime and that the Sonny that she loves is a fantasy. Hannah exited, saying that Sonny might come by at any time and she didn't want him to see her with Roy. Next, Roy encountered Bobbie. She looked pleased, and he guessed that she'd found Carly, and she replied that indeed she had, "with Sonny, no less." Roy asked if Carly had told Sonny about the baby (no) or if Bobbie had (almost). Roy stated his view that no child needs to know her father is a criminal, and Bobbie pointed out that that meant Hannah would have been better off not knowing Roy, which left Roy thoughtful. Bobbie said that she didn't want Sonny to raise the child, but that he had a right to know, and Roy countered that Sonny doesn't deserve rights. Bobbie said that Sonny might just surprise Roy, that secrets are bad, and suggested that Roy's just upset because of how Sonny treated Hannah. Roy agreed that he was upset about that, but pointed out that he hadn't noticed Sonny doing Bobbie's daughter any favors either. Bobbie remarked that they both loved their daughters, then asked if Sonny didn't have a right to love his, too.
At the diner, Emily and Juan questioned Liz about Francis, and she explained briefly. Emily gave Liz a tape of Juan and Emily singing together, and Liz was eager to listen to it. Juan was embarrassed, and left to go get a pizza. Emily was afraid he was angry, and ran out after him, but he wasn't - he sneaked up behind her and gave her a hug and kiss. Sonny entered the diner and heard the tape playing. Liz made him guess who the singers were, and he correctly guessed Emily but did not recognize Juan's voice. Sonny was surprised, and asked if Liz knew that Juan sang, and she explained that he was Emily's "discovery." Emily and Juan returned with the pizza, and Juan was upset to see Sonny listening to his tape. Juan said that he was just "messing around", but Sonny protested that he had a real talent. Juan explained that he'd never be as good as his father Miguel, and that he didn't even want to try, since everyone would assume he was trying to cash in on his father's fame. Sonny replied that if he liked to sing (Juan agreed that he did) he shouldn't throw his gift away. Sonny pointed out how proud Lily would have been, and Juan admitted that he'd never thought of it that way, but he'd try. Sonny questioned the pizza, asking if Kelly's allowed food to be brought in, but Liz assured him it was okay as pizza wasn't on Kelly's menu. They offered Sonny some pizza or a drink, but he declined, promising that he'd check on Liz and Francis and advising them to let him know if any of them spotted Sorel. At the door, Sonny asked Emily if Michael seemed okay, and she said that he did, noting that Carly left him with Leticia a lot. Emily asked Sonny what was going on, but he just advised her to keep her eyes open, and left.
At the Quartermaine house, AJ accused Carly of being pregnant. Carly asked who'd told him, and AJ admitted that Lila had mentioned it, but pointed out that he'd found prenatal vitamins in her drawer. She tried to tell him that they were good for her hair and nails, but he wasn't having any of that. AJ ranted about how she must really think him dumb to assume she could pass Jason's baby off as his. Carly commented that AJ was as bad as Michael with his tantrum, and AJ taunted her with her picture of Jason, then ripped it up, saying that that was all she had left. They talked briefly about the possibility of divorce, and AJ admitted that the reason he'd wanted her to stay before was that he had been concerned that she would have gotten custody of Michael, but not now that she's pregnant with Jason's baby. AJ trashed her character, and Carly promised him a custody fight, then he began to speculate about what life would be like if he let the Quartermaines believe that the baby was his. He outlined the benefits - secure future for Carly's children, not to mention prestige and money for her and a good image for himself - and agreed to raise the baby as his own. Carly protested that AJ would hate the new baby as much as he hated Jason, but AJ explained that for a long time Alan thought that AJ wasn't his son, and he promised to learn from his father's mistake and not do the same thing. Carly vowed not to let AJ use her child, but he pointed out that she has no choice and spelled out again how everybody would win, so she reluctantly agreed to the deal. AJ had one condition, though: neither child must ever hear Jason's name again. Carly protested, but eventually gave in to the demand never to mention Jason's name to the baby. AJ said "Whose baby?" and Carly, still a little shocked by the turn of events, replied "Our baby" and AJ smirked "Good girl" as he left. Carly sat looking at the torn photo of herself with Jason and Michael, and blinked back tears. She taped the photo back together as she talked to the baby, telling him that she'd wanted him to have that family but at least this way he'd be safe and no one would ever know Sonny was his dad. Downstairs, Edward was on the phone demanding an update on Chloe's condition when AJ entered. Edward wanted to know why AJ wasn't upstairs with his wife, but AJ interrupted, saying "I have some news - Carly and I are having a baby." Edward was extremely pleased, congratulated AJ and told him that he'd known they could work it out. Carly entered the room, and Edward was solicitous. He said that Carly had made AJ a better man and that it was wonderful that she'd brought children into the house. Edward let the room, still crowing, and Carly and AJ exchanged long looks.

Emily was at Kelly's researching a report on Black History Month. Elizabeth asked her about it and she said she was debating doing someone very famous or perhaps writing a paper on Mary Mae Ward. Liz told her she thought the latter was a great idea and asked why she was hesitating. Emily told her that because it involved her family, there would probably be fights and secrets involved, but conceded it would be worth it. As she was leaving, Taggert came in and Emily hid from him, embarassed at having been caught by him in Juan's room.
Hannah jogged into Kelly's and Taggert invited her to dinner. She declined, but he was able to talk her into accepting. She asked if he was always so pushy and he said he preferred to call it persuasive. While having dinner at Kelly's, Hannah asked him why Dara was so formal in their meeting and he told her it was because they used to date and it ended, "better than some, worse than some." She asked why it had ended and he said he had found out she was hung up on another man and that he had learned to not get involved with a woman whose heart belonged to someone else (meaningful look). After dinner, they went for a walk together.
Edward welcomed Monica to the living room and asked her to join him for a toast. She asked what the toast was for and he expressed surprise that AJ had not told her yet. Fearing the worst, she told Edward that whatever AJ had done, they could fix. AJ walked in and told Monica that for once, the toast had nothing to do with Edward. She was stunned when he told her that he and Carly were having a baby. AJ told her he hoped this baby would bring him and Carly closer together. Alan came in just as Monica was offering her hesitant congratulations and asked what was going on. They told him and he was very happy and offered AJ his best wishes. He asked AJ when Carly was do and AJ said he had forgotten to ask.
Stefan wore stupid dark glasses (his 'incognito' look) and met on the docks with a 'mercenary' who lookes like Hank the mechanic. Stefan made arrangements with the man to put together a small task force to go get Lucky. There was only one condition...Stefan was going too.
Helena spoke to someone on the phone and ordered them to double security around Lucky.
Felicia and Luke arrived at their hotel in Greece. They had a couple of hours to kill before night, when they would go after Lucky, so Felicia suggested they eat. Luke pulled a pile of shish kabobs out of his pouch, proceeded to munch and offered her some. She declined, not caring for the mystery meat and green sauce approach.
Nikolas went to Mac about the problems Liz was having with Sorel. Mac advised him that he couldn't do anything legally unless Liz filed a complaint herself. Nikolas said she wouldn't do that and Mac suggested that he try to coax her into it. While they were talking, Felicia called to tell Mac hello. He asked for a number where he could reach her and she said it would be better if she called him. He got a knowing look on his face and said, "The girls miss you." When he hung up, Felicia called his name, but it was too late. Afterwards, Luke and Felicia discussed plans for getting to Lucky and looked at a map of the Cassadine island. Luke said they would stop about a hundred yards from the island and rowboat the rest of the way. After then get onto the island, Luke said they'd "wing it", much to Felicia's dismay. Felicia wondered why Helena would still have Lucky a year after the fire and Luke assured her it was insurance, but against what he did not know. Luke made sure Felicia knew that they could not get caught or Helena would likely kill Lucky. She said they wouldn't get caught and they started to leave, but Luke doubled over in abdominal pain. Felicia panicked and offered to get a doctor. Luke said no, he was fine and she convinced him to wait until he was better to go find Lucky. He rested on the bed and made fun of her trying to get comfortable in a chair. At last she *sigh* agreed to lay on the bed with him to rest.
Stefan came to visit Laura and she told him she'd been worried when she hadn't heard from him. Stefan told her he hadn't wanted to waste a moment getting back to her, not even for a phone call. He told her his trip had been productive and he wanted to tell her about it. She said she wanted to hear, but had to first take some milk to LuLu, which she did. She returned and found him looking at an old picture of Lucky. She said she wished he had known her son better, then tearfully said it still didn't seem right that he was gone. She talked to him about how hard it was to understand Lucky's death and he reconsidered telling her what he had learned on his trip and instead, told her he had to leave again, bid her good-bye and told her he loved her. She said she loved him too.
Lesley came in and asked if she'd heard someone at the door. Laura told him about Stefan's visit and Lesley was polite but reserved about Stefan. She pointed out that Stefan was very secretive and that led into Laura talking about Luke not saying good-bye to LuLu. Lesley asked if Laura was upset about LuLu or herself being left out of the loop. Laura asked if her mom had always been so perceptive and Lesley said she was where Laura was concerned. Laura insisted that she and Luke had moved on and it was too late to find their way back. Lesley did not seem as convinced as her daughter.
Edward gave Emily a candid interview about Mary Mae. He regretfully told her that even if Lila had not been in the picture, he would not have considered marriage to Mary Mae, even though he loved her dearly, because he was a product of his time. He explained to her that a white man of his standing and background would not have married a black woman in that time. She said he could have been the first and he said he would have lost everything, his family and any hope at success in business and that he just didn't have the courage for that. He told her that he loved and admired Mary Mae very much and that by the time they had met again, they had both had different loves and different lives.
Mac came into the diner and questioned Liz about her run in with Sorel. He told Liz that Nikolas had been concerned for her safety and Liz's fury was barely controlled. She told Mac that Nikolas hadn't been there and didn't know what happened, that if she needed help she'd ask for it. Mac pointed out that she already had, but from the wrong person (Sonny). He gave her the number for his private line and told her to call if she changed her mind. He left as Nikolas was arriving. Liz was waiting for him with Satan in her eyes. She laced into him and told him that he had no right to do exactly what she'd told him not to do. He yammered on about her own protection and she said that in the past two months he'd criticized everything she'd done, embarrassed him in public and reported her activities to the police. Friends like that she does not need!
Edward went to the French doors of the living room after his talk with Emily and remembered a conversation he'd had with Mary Mae when she had come to Port Charles. They had talked about the old days and he told her that he had not been infatuated with her, he'd loved her.
Helena was on the phone again (or still) and asked that she be sent Lucky's most recent tapes so that she can track his progress herself.
