Day four of unemployment and it's hard to keep track of days! I can't believe it's Thursday.

Here we go:

We repeat a bit of what we saw yesterday with Lucky chasing a masked Johnny. Nikolas is signing the trust papers and Elizabeth is getting her test. And bang!

Nikolas wants Alexis to file the paperwork asap. As an attorney, she'll do it but as his aunt, she wants to just burn the papers up because she thinks this will make Elizabeth and the baby targets for Helena.

Crazy is relieved that the test is over. Kelly tells her that she'll know the results in a few days.

Johnny's bullet apparently missed because Lucky is hiding beyond the doorway while Johnny continues to shoot. Johnny jumps over the ledge.

Claire is waiting for Jason at his pad. Sam has let her in. She snarkily compliments Jason on his coffee saying she expects nothing less from a major coffee importer and then tells him that she's glad he's there so she doesn't have to wait for a judge to issue a warrant for his arrest.

Credits; I hope this Claire chick gets a contract but it will be at least 5 years before we see her on the opening credits.

Jason has nothing to say without his attorney. Claire continues to snark about Jason's familiarity with the legal system and then tells him she's calling him to be a witness at Sonny's trial.

Carly is looking for Jax at the metro-court. She finds him and asks him how he slept the previous night thinking her sex-plan worked. It didn't. Jax plays it cool and asks Carly to remember to bring something of Josselyn's the next time she comes over.

Alexis worries more about Helena but Nikolas thinks it'll be fine. Alexis is also worried that Nikolas' motive is to endear himself to Elizabeth.

Elizabeth comes back to nurse's station. Kelly, Epiphany and Robin reassure her that she's well loved there and that her job is ready for her when she's better. Elizabeth is just worried about the results of the paternity test.

Lucky finds Dante at the PCPD when he gets back. He looks all nervous about starting his first day and asks Lucky about the the call. He tells Dante about it and says he's sure it's John Zacchara.

Jax pretends to talk about business but he's really teasing Carly with talk of satin sheets and orgasmic chocolate. She excuses herself. To change? After she's gone, he asks "Joey" at the front desk if Carly was asking about him. What happened to the Asian guy? Jax is pleased to hear that Carly asked about him the moment she walked in the door.

Nik makes it clear that Lucky and Elizabeth are finished. He loves Elizabeth but doesn't think Elizabeth knows what she wants right now. Alexis' advice: "Typically what starts out badly rarely ends well." And she should know. He says if he had to do it all over again, he'd tell Lucky the truth from the beginning and despite everything, he loves Elizabeth.

Maxie is playing hooky from work at Jake's waiting for Spinelli. She bribes Coleman not to tell Kate. She wants to put on some country music and dance with Spinelli and then have sex in her boots. Weird girl. Johnny limps in and orders a bottle of whiskey. Maxie asks him if he's hurt. He says he feels good and takes a big ol' swig.

Lucky tells Dante more about the hit he just stopped. Dante knows that Bernie's is the heart of the organization and also gives some info about Max and Milo's M.O.s involving ex-presidential masks after Lucky pulls out the Clinton mask from a paper bag. They both figure that whoever did this, knows as much as Dante knows. They think that Johnny might just level the playing field with Sonny and Lucky says that Johnny hasn't done too much harm yet. Dante reminds him that he shot at a cop. ...Like your dad? Lucky says it's ok because Johnny was aiming to miss.

Claire thinks Jason will make the perfect witness. She talks a big game about how much she's researched him and how prepared she is. Jason gets her to leave. I hope Claire's bite is worse than her bark.

Robin has brought Elizabeth back to her room at Shadybrook. She thanks Robin for all she's done and then goes on about how stressed she is and how Nikolas brought the kids to see her. She feels like a "bad mom". Robin stopped by Audrey's (when?) and has a card for Elizabeth from the boys. Elizabeth just can't wait to find out the results.

Nikolas talks about Lucky and Elizabeth's history. He admits that the baby could bring them together. He brings up Alexis and Sonny as an example. What? Alexis: "Listen, Sonny and I are not a situation to emulate on any level." Sing it, girl. Nikolas: "Your relationship has evolved to a point where you can defend him on murder charges". Touché, Nikolas. Touché.

Spinelli tells Maxie that someone tried to get into Bernie's place and eluded capture by jumping down two stories. Johnny, who overhears, thinks this is great and wants to toast! Spinelli knows it was Johnny and tells him he doesn't want to toast his path to destruction. Spinelli tells Maxie that he's worried that Johnny will destroy himself. Maxie understands that Johnny wants Sonny to pay for what he did to Johnny's sister.

Lucky says he tries to put his friendship with Sonny aside when going to work. Dante brings up the old adage, "love the sinner, hate the sin" which his mom always told him. Lucky says Dante's mom is a wise woman. Really? I think that's the worst, hypocritical, judgmental, self-important, condescending saying of all times. Lucky says he doesn't know what he'd do if he had to go after Luke the way they're going after Sonny. Dante says Sonny needs to be stopped and Lucky agrees. Ronnie (!) comes out of the interrogation room telling Dante and Lucky that the Feds have put together task-force to take down the mob in Port Charles including the three of them. Whoo hoo! It's like the A-team. Dante gets to be Face.

Carly receives the proofs from Josselyn's christening. Jax comes to look. They try to reconcile saying they want to fight for each other but Carly is still upset that Jax hasn't apologized for setting Sonny up.

Ronnie and Dante question each other's ethics or lack-of.

Maxie understands what it's like to have a sister murdered but Spinelli says revenge is not the answer. She admires Johnny for taking on his cause, having no one to back him up. At the bar, Coleman tells Johnny that his place is neutral territory. Ethan joins Johnny at the bar. Johnny tells him that Lucky showed up before he could get inside Bernie's.

Jason is getting a call from Bernie telling him about the break-in when Lucky shows up. He warns Jason not to go after Johnny because it's his job.

Nikolas arrives at the hospital asking Epiphany about Elizabeth. She tells Nik to ask Robin which he does. Robin assures Nikolas that Elizabeth is fine. Robin feels bad for not giving Nikolas better advice but he says it's OK.

Helena tells the lab technician that she wants to be the first to know the paternity of Elizabeth's baby and then she'll decide what to tell Lucky and Nikolas.

Nikolas tells Robin that she hopes things work out between him and Elizabeth and thanks Robin for her help. He walks over to the room that Helena is in.

Lucky wants Jason to understand that he'll take care of Johnny. Jason asks him if someone was trying to kill Luke, would he stand by? Lucky: "With all the people my dad has pissed off, I'd say he deserves it." Hee. Jason: "But would you stand by?" Lucky: "No." Jason: "Exactly." Well you showed him, Jason... And showed us your daddy-issues. Before he leaves, Lucky pleads one last time for Jason to stay out of it.

Johnny doesn't think the day was a full wash but I'm still unclear as to why. Ethan misses the cash but was happy to hang out with the "bombshell blonde" [sic]. He leaves to find her. Spinelli can tell that Maxie is drawn to Johnny. She says she's just worried about him as a friend, but he thinks she's attracted to the danger.

Jax and Carly argue the same old arguments. She still thinks it's all about Jax's vendetta. He can't believe she'd continue to endanger her kids after what happened with Michael. He makes it clear that he'll never allow Josselyn near Sonny. After he storms off, Carly finds something amongst the christening photos.

Lisa stops Nikolas before he goes into the conference room.

Crazy hangs up the pictures her kids drew. Alexis pays her a visit and comforts her and gives her some words of advice. Alexis brings up the trust.

I can't wait for the Oscars but when the announcer in this ad says "the hottest stars', they show four actors who will never win an Oscar. Namely, Taylor Lautner, Kirsten Stewart, Zac Efron and Miley Cirus.

Elizabeth is confused as to why Nikolas is setting up a trust. Alexis says that she just wants to make sure everyone is secure. Elizabeth tells Alexis that she's made it clear she's not going to be with Nikolas. Alexis lies that Nikolas isn't trying to change her feelings; he just wants everyone to be secure.

Nikolas opens the door but then decides to talk with Lisa outside which gives Helena and the lab tech a chance to flee unseen. Turns out Lisa helped Nikolas with something, but it seems unclear what exactly she helped with and if she knew exactly what she was doing. Before we find out, Steven interrupts and asks if Elizabeth is still at the hospital. Nikolas tells her that Robin took her back to Shadybrook. He goes and asks Epiphany how things went with Elizabeth and she assures him that everything went well. He leaves to go visit Elizabeth. What Lisa did: She sent the test results to an independent lab because Nikolas was worried about Helena.

Claire comes into the PCPD and approaches Dante. They banter and she warns him that he should probably leave.

Maxie massages Spinelli's ego and he buys it. Johnny sees someone (Lucky) in a Bill Clinton mask.

Carly comes to Jason's for help. Surprise, surprise. She tells Jax about the fight but more importantly what she found in the proofs: Franco's picture.
