Diane arrives at Jason's pad. She wants to know what happened to the penthouse. Jason is somehow offended by this and says Maxie did it. She likes it. Jason wants to discuss a "hypothetical" regarding Claudia's killer. Diane thinks he means Sonny. He tells her it's Michael.

Speaking of - Michael welcomes the Jax clan back home. They joke about Carly and her awful skiing like some bad sitcom family. Carly changes the subject and says they have an important family decision to discuss.

Lulu is running late, carrying coffee, bags and is on a cell telling Maxie she knows she's late and calling her to tell her she's late is only going to make her later. Maxie kids that she can't walk and talk at the same time. Lulu threatens to hang up and Maxie brings up Lulu crying herself to sleep last night. Lulu pretends the call drops and subsequently drops the coffee. Who is there to help her pick it up? Dominic/Dante!

Credits

Lisa, who looks like a different actress, but just has newly straightened hair, is walking out of the OR with Patrick. They're arguing about who did a better job in there. It's kind of as gross as you might think. I mean that was an actual person you were operating on, douche and douchette. New guy comes in. Big car accident. "Dean" who looks like a young Jonathan Jackson is getting looked at by Patrick. He wants to know how his friend "Chelsea" is. He reveals that Chelsea was telling him to slow down before the crash.

Spinelli visits Maxie. He tells her she looks amazing. She totally does. He tells her that Jason was underwhelmed by the apartment make-over. Maxie is insulted saying they transformed his "man-cave". I think it looks pretty much the same. She's worried that Jason blames her. She wants to make amends to Spinelli as well. She's still on the "cheat on me" kick. He insists he doesn't want to but since this is the millionth time she's brought it up, I'd say TPTB are going to make it happen.

Jason and Diane are still talking in hypotheticals. She doesn't think he has anything to worry about at the moment since Sonny is the prime suspect. He fills in the "hypotheticals". They flashback while Jason tells the story. Diane doesn't like it.

Michael doesn't want to have another family discussion about himself. Carly pops his ego by telling him it's about Josslyn. They need to talk about the christening and Godparents. Jax suggests Alexis and Lucky. Carly says she hardly knows Lucky, which is more a comment on the show than anything. Carly came to Port Charles to find family but never really connected with family. She seems to have a relationship with mom Bobbi but you'd never know it because she is never on the show. She never really got to know cousin Lucky and only had multiple encounters with Luke when she first came on the show. Not to mention her half-brother Lucas. Morgan mentions Jason but then the brothers decide to let Jax and Carly handle it and leave. Carly insists Jason is going to be Josselyn's Godfather. Jax is pissed.

Dom/Dante helps Lulu up. He asks if that was Maxie on the phone. She says it's none of his business. He says he cares if she was "crying herself to sleep". She says she had a cold. They banter and Dominic/Dante charms the pants off of her.

Hey, who's that? It's Monica! Tracy thinks its been blissfully quiet since Rebecca left. Monica says she got an e-mail from her and that she's enjoying Paris. Monica thinks it's been blissfully quiet since Luke left. Edwards interrupts an inevitable cat-fight. He is carrying a letter from "Maya" Ward. Oooh! Justice's niece? Daughter? Maya writes that she's looking for a place to do her internship. Her step-mom was killed in a car accident and she's taking care of her younger half-sister. Two Wards coming to Port Charles?? Oooh! Edward says Maya and "Zoe" will be moving in.

Lisa and Patrick discuss the case. Chelsea's back is broken. They go break the news to her. She says she can't feel her legs.

Carly and Jax argue about Jason. She says if he accepts Jason as the Godfather, then she should accept Alexis but she's not going to. That's... compromise!? She insists that Alexis hates her. Jax, the sap, wusses out and tells Carly she can choose both Godparents. He leaves.

Jason tells Diane about Sonny's plan. She thinks Franco's pictures and everything Jason did to cover it up will make Michael look that much more guilty. There is a knock at the door. It's Michael. Diane leaves but not without warning Jason not to do anything without consulting her. He tells him what he told Diane. He apologizes for failing him. Michael came with happy news. He tells Jason that he's going to be Josselyn's Godfather. Apparently, he knows Carly is going to win the argument with Jax. He leaves.

Lulu wonders what's changed. He says he wants to be fair to her. She thinks he wants to save her from the fallout by walking away from her. She says that she has the right to decide that. She says "Don't think that his is over" and is interrupted by a nice smooch. When the smooch is done, she finishes with "because it's not." Hee. Nice.

This might be a nice time to point out that there is never ever any liquid in the prop coffee cups. That's good because props can spill easily, etc. That's bad because the actors of General Hospital don't know how to act like the cup is full. They always lift it way too easily. Even when they take a sip, it never looks real. Acting 101, people.

Kristina and Sam are meeting at Kellys. Kristina want to know how Sam is. Sam says things have been better but she's fine. Kristina was really worried about her. She says she can't imagine her life without her big sis. She wants advice about Keifer. She wonders if Jason ever loses his temper out of nowhere. Sam wants to know if they're talking about Jason or Keifer.

Edward doesn't want Monica to turn his great-granddaughter away. So she's Justice's daughter? When did Justice have a kid? Tracy thinks any kid who suddenly gets in touch just wants money. Monica actually agrees with Tracy. Tracy reminds Edward of Rebecca. He doesn't care. He wants to do good for the Wards. He proclaims that Maya and Zoe will stay there. Monica wonders if Maya even wants to live there. He leaves insisting they will. Tracy finds the first letter that Maya sent and she hid. She says that nowhere in the letter does it say she's moving to Port Charles.

Maxie snarks at how late Lulu is. Lulu is not in the mood. She brings up last night again and says crying herself to sleep will make you blotchy. Hee. She leaves saying she got those opera tickets she wanted. Maxie: "What a fabulous friend am I?" Hee. Carly comes in. Lulu offers the opera tickets to her. Carly guesses correctly that it's because there's a problem with Dominic/Dante. Carly asks Lulu to be Josselyn's Godmother.

Morgan called Dominic/Dante over to ask him to the christening. Jax interrupts.

jax says Dominic has already been invited. He tells Morgan to put away his ski equipment. Dominic/Dante fills Jax in. They should have a warrant any day now. He jokes that if the bust happens before the christening, he'll assume he's not invited. Dominic/Dante is worried about Morgan and that he's going to feel betrayed. Just because you're undercover assignment ends, doesn't mean everyone is going to find out who you are. It's possible to keep your cover by sending your undercover personality to prison. That way, if you were needed to go undercover again in the same capacity, you could. But...that won't work since we all want Dominic to stay on this show. It just weirds me out that they never thought about that possibility. But then again, this is the same undercover cop who has let his cover be blown by about fifteen people. Jax says he's doing Morgan a favor by letting him live a normal life.

Lulu is flattered but surprised by Carly's question. She thinks Lulu would be wonderful and Josslyn would be lucky to have her. Lulu agrees to it. Carly says Dominic is welcome to come along as her date.

Kristina blames herself for Keifer's behavior. Sam tries to calmly explain to Kristina that this is a bad relationship and tries not to slap the moron.

Jason fills Johnny in on Sonny's plan to frame Franco. He appreciates that johnny has kept quiet. He says he'll keep quiet because Michael is the only one that deserves to be protected.


Patrick tells "Dean" about Chelsea's condition. He doesn't know how this all happened. He also adds that he didn't "sign up for a girlfriend in a wheelchair." Cold...

Diane is at Kelly's. Do they serve alcohol at Kelly's? Spinelli is there asking Diane for love advice. He tells her about the Franco situation. She thinks it's great that he just wants to move on. She also thinks Maxie's plan is brilliant. She tells of her free-pass list: Russell Crowe and Justin Timberlake. Hee. He wants to know if Max has a list. Diane says absolutely not: double standards do apply. She tells him that know matter what Maxie says, she doesn't want him to cheat on her.

Carly arrives at Jason's. He has the painting out that led Jason to Franco's studio. She insists that he needs to let this go for now. She asks Jason to be Josslyn's Godfather.

Lulu thanks Maxie for the tickets. Maxie can tell something's wrong and that there must be a road block in Lulu's relationship with Dominic. She says she'll figure it out. Lulu tells her what happened without giving anything away.

Johnny warns Dominic of Sonny's plan. He's worried about Olivia and Lulu. He says Johnny was right about Lulu. He regrets that the fallout may hurt Lulu.

Patrick and Lisa tell Chelsea that they need to operate. Lisa says she's the best person for the job.

Jason says Carly should want Josslyn as far away from him as possible. She convinces Jason in her Carly-way.

Jax catches Morgan playing with his phone to find games. Morgan says he found an e-mail regarding Sonny from the Senator's office. He asks what "facilitating the operation" means. Jax lies that he's trying to help Sonny. Morgan buys it.

Lulu says she knew that this would all end badly. She admits she fell in love with Dominic.

Dom/Dante says that at first it was just a flirtation with Lulu. He knows it'll only end badly. He didn't figure on falling in love.
