It's a beautiful day in NYC - let's see how it is in Port Charles.

Elizabeth is a bit put off but also a little relieved that Nikolas used his influence to speed up the paternity results. Nikolas guesses that she wants the dad to be Lucky.

Helena makes us wait to find out the results. She makes Larry the lab technician all but swear on a bible that the test results are accurate. She opens the results and has a happy look on her face. So I guess it's Nikolas...or....not.

Sam talks to Jason about Ethan and Kristina.

Ethan tells Tracy that he tried to be nice to Kristina. Tracy wants to know how nice.

Kristina confirms/lies that Ethan was the one who beat her. Lucky wants to know why but Sonny just slips out quietly. I really hope she's just confused and not lying.

Credits

So the baby daddy is...Lucky! Whoa, talk about beating those odds. Lucky finally has a little one. Helena thinks it's great. She wants everyone else to know that the baby is a Cassadine so she can raise the baby to hate all things Spencer. Even Spencer Cassadine? See...they should never have named Spencer that because it's just so confusing.

Liz lies that she just wants to know the baby is healthy and she wants to raise the child as a single mother. Nikolas finally makes her admit that life would be easier for her if Lucky were the father since Lucky is a dad to Jake and Cam anyway.

Sam tells Jason all about Ethan and Kristina. Sam thinks its her fault that Kristina is trying to be a bad girl slut.

Kristina tells Lucky and Alexis what happened at the Haunted Star. Then she lies about Ethan coming to the house. Lucky realizes that Sonny is gone.

Ethan tells Tracy about what happened earlier in the night at the Haunted Star and later at the lake house. Tracy leaves and Ethan has a drink at the bar. Sonny holds a gun on him. I hope he doesn't adhere to his 'shoot first and ask questions later' rule that he usually has. Sonny accuses Ethan of beating Kristina. Ethan insists he didn't do it and Sonny asks if he's calling his daughter a liar. Um...Yes. Dante comes in and intervenes, "You pull that trigger and I guarantee he won't say he shot himself." Heh.

Crazy actually cracks a joke and Nikolas is happy to see her smile. Larry the Lab technician calls Nikolas on his cell and tells him that the test results have been delayed and will be ready tomorrow.

Sam thinks everything is her fault but she hasn't even heard about the beating yet. Alexis calls her and tells her that Ethan beat Kristina up.

Alexis goes into Kristina's room and comforts her by telling her how bad she looks. Kristina thinks it's her fault but Alexis assures her that it's not.

Sonny is one pissed father and wants Dante to leave. Ethan tries to defend himself but Sonny isn't hearing it. Lucky and Tracy come back. Lucky orders Dante to put the gun down. He doesn't. Isn't this where you shoot the suspect? Get your guns on him, Dante and Lucky! Lucky tells Tracy that Kristina ID'd Ethan has her attacker.

Lucky tries to talk Sonny down. Ethan explains the cuts on his face. Sonny gets on his diatribe about men who beat women. He tells Ethan that he's going to pay and then leaves. Ethan frantically tells the rest of the crew that he didn't hit Kristina. Dante wants to know why she would lie. Then there's all this confusion about what Ethan should and shouldn't say. Lucky encourages Ethan not to talk but he insists on defending himself. After he says he grabbed Kristina's arm, Lucky says he needs to place him under arrest.

Alexis wants to know what happened with Keifer since Kristina was supposed to be with him tonight. She avoids the question and Alexis let's it go. Sam comes in. They talk about how Sam found her at the metro court and about what happened at the Haunted Star. She tells Kristina and Alexis about her talk with Ethan later which should exonerate him based on timing alone. Sam says it's her fault. Kristina says it's her fault. Finally Sam says it's all on Ethan.

Ronnie has called Johnny in. He's not arresting Johnny for his recent activities but wants him to stay out of trouble. He wants Johnny to testify against Sonny.

Sonny tells Jason about Kristina. Jason thinks it's good that Lucky called Dante to stop Sonny. Sonny orders Jason to kill Ethan. Jason wants to know what he's going to tell Luke.

Elizabeth is talking to Cam and Steven on the phone. After she hangs up, Helena comes in. She tries to get all chummy with Liz.

Lucky takes Ethan into the interrogation room with Ethan arguing the whole way. He asks Ronnie for a minute which gives Johnny opportunity to get in to see Ethan. Ethan tells Johnny what he's been accused of.

Kristina and Sam have a heart to heart about pain, both the physical and the emotional kind.

Tracy implores Luke's voicemail to call her back. Alexis comes in with firey-mom-eyes demanding to see Luke. Tracy is sympathetic to what happened to Kristina but still believes Ethan. Alexis tells Tracy to get Luke to reach her soon and to get Ethan to turn himself in to the police because as much as she would love to see Sonny kill her daughter's attacker, she doesn't want Kristina to go through that.

Jason and Sonny discuss the pros and cons of killing Luke's son. He continues his, 'shoot first, ask questions later'. Consequences, be damned! He actually thinks Luke would understand and would do the same thing if the positions were reversed. Sonny: "Ethan dies tonight!" But...he just made the opening credits!

Lucky comes in to see Ethan. He immediately jumps in to defend himself. Lucky advises him not to say anything until he has a lawyer. Who's going to defend him? Alexis is Kristina's mother, Diane is Sonny's lawyer and Claire is a federal prosecutor with a lot on her plate at the moment. Lucky can't even take his statement because they're brothers. Lucky lays out all the evidence stacked up against him. Ethan is understandably frustrated.

Jason leaves a message for Spinelli. Johnny stops by. He wants to talk about Ethan. He tells Jason that he doesn't think Ethan did it.

Kristina flashbacks to Keifer pummeling her. OK, so she's definitely not confused. Dante comes in to see his little sister. He tells her that Ethan will be brought to justice. She's glad he's her brother.

Alexis is back at the hospital. Sam wants to talk to her about the sex talk she had with Kristina months ago. Alexis is floored that Kristina is sexually active. Sam, again thinks it's all her fault.

Sonny visits Kristina who is asleep. He asks Dante to be alone with his daughter. Dante leaves but watches from the doorway. Kristina's situation reminds Sonny of his mother.

Lucky doesn't know whether to believe Ethan or not. Ethan says even though Lucky is his brother, they don't know each other well but he says he'd never do something like this. Lucky admits he hasn't had the best judgement when it comes to brothers lately. Ethan is disgusted that Lucky thinks he's guilty.

Johnny believes what Ethan told him. Jason wants to know why Kristina would lie. Johnny brings up the fact that she lied about running Claudia off the road. He asks Jason not to kill Ethan until he's absolutely sure.

Keifer comes back to the scene of the crime. Molly let's him in and tells him what he already knows except the lie about Ethan being the culprit.

Dante continues to watch Sonny at his daughter's bedside. Sonny talks about his mom's beatings. I'm not paying attention to most of it because he looks seriously jaundiced. Bad lighting or bad tan? You decide.

What, no PSA?
