Luke and Lucky talk about Ethan. Lucky doesn't want Ethan to run since it will make him look guilty. Luke has an idea of how Lucky can help...but it may require him "losing his badge".

Oh My God! Someone's actually checking out Sonny's old penthouse! It's been years since anyone lived there! I can't wait to see it! I've missed that place. Oh and by the way, it's Johnny looking. He's with Olivia. Are they moving in with each other?

Morgan continues to listen to Jax and Claire argue about the case. Jax criticizes Claire for putting kids through hell. Claire doesn't seem offended, just miffed that everyone is a freaking hypocrite.

Dante hands NuMichael the subpoena. And I still don't get the recast. I'm sure this guy Chad is fine but there was nothing wrong with Drew.

Credits: Matt: "Why don't they just recast me?"

Nikolas visits Elizabeth at the hospital to see how she's doing. She tells him that she and the baby are fine. They talk about oncology and Emily and...weird party music comes on. They see outside that CancerPatientPlotPoint is teaching Patrick to dance the Rumba.

Morgan calls NuMichael to tell him that Dante's on his way over. Too late! NuMichael lies to Morgan that it'll be OK and Dante hasn't found him yet. Dante tells NuMichael that Max and Milo have been "taken care of".

Max and Milo? In prison. Goofy music plays. Because it's all so goofy. Apparently Milo accidently asked the guard to fuck him from behind. Accidently. Yeah.

Jason doesn't think the "owner" will sell to Johnny. Olivia thinks that'll it will help the peace process for them to live across the hall from each other. What? How? Shut up, Olivia. We don't get to see the place, because Johnny, Olivia and the real estate agent leave.

Claire sounds reasonable when she tries to explain to Jax what she's doing and why. Jax says he doesn't use children. Yes, and Sonny doesn't hit women. You're all fucking saints. Claire tries to convince Jax that Michael's testimony is a necessity. Carly enters. Claire tries to leave but Carly stops her. She's got a few things to say. Mmm Hmm.

Patrick awkwardly dances with CPPP. She finally stops the music because it's all a little too much to bear. CPPP, this is Nikolas. Nikolas - CPPP. Patrick leaves to show Robin how he can't dance. CPPP reminisces about the 40s or 20s? MATT! It's Matt! He brings CPPP a big yellow boa and then she wraps it around his neck. Awesome. Way to earn that paycheck, Matt.

Lucky doesn't want to do anything illegal. Luke compliments Lucky about being a good brother and a good cop but thinks his talent is wasted. Maya enters hoping she's not interrupting. You are. Go away. Whoa. I gave that girl about three days before I started judging her. Come on Maya, give me a reason to give you a chance. Lucky leaves, so I guess she's there to see Luke. Maya wants insight about the Qs, specifically Edward.

Maxie barges into Jason's apartment yapping her gums. Something about a sauna. Jason doesn't want a sauna. She's so wacky! She should be in jail with Max and Milo. But Jason knows something's up because he's observant.

Carly tells Claire she's going to pay for what she did to Morgan. Claire pretty much calls Carly a hypocrite for bringing Josselyn into the courtroom. Carly says Claire tried to mince her words. Again, Claire calls 'hypocrite' because Carly committed perjury for a mob kingpin who makes life hell for his kids including one of them getting shot. Instead of defending her actions, Carly rubs her testimony in Claire's face. Claire leaves but not before giving Jax a bit of advice: "Best of luck. She's a real peach." Hee! Carly: "Don't you want to follow your girlfriend?" It's not a bad idea, Jax. If I had just heard that exchange, I'd be looking at my wife a bit differently too. Like some great epiphany or something...not the nurse kind. Jax asks why Carly lied for Sonny. She says she didn't lie for Sonny. She lied for Michael. Jax says that he was the one who stopped Ronnie from catching Michael. Carly says that's because he thinks Michael's testimony will set Sonny free. He says he did it because he loves Michael and he'll always be grateful to him for saving her and Josselyn. He walks off, dejectedly.

Dante tells Michael the facts from the case that put him at the scene. NuMichael finally tells Dante that Sonny wasn't there and he killed Claudia. Oy.

Maya tells Luke that Lucky was pretty blunt about Edward. She then asks him how a "cool guy like [him] could be married to Tracy. Eww, Maya. Hitting on an old man? They discuss Tracy. Luke tells her his original intentions for Tracy. Maya talks about her sister. Luke tells her that Edward always expects something in return. She wants to know if she can trust Edward. Luke: "Hell no!"

Maxie talks about Spinelli to an uncomfortable Jason. She wants more than Spinelli. She wants someone dangerous. Blah blah blah. If it ends the Maxie/Spinelli relationship, I'm all for it. But no, she's doing this all to keep them together. Spinelli comes home.

NuMichael starts to explain everything OldMichael did but Dante tells him to stop. Dante thinks NuMichael is lying. NuMichael insists he did it. Dante wants proof. NuMichael shows him proof: the bloody shirt.

The real estate agent shows Johnny and Olivia a new apartment. I thought maybe it was Sonny's apartment but it's backwards and smaller but looks similar in design. It's incredibly tacky. Olivia doesn't know why Johnny wants a new apartment. He jokes that he's got a girlfriend he's trying to impress. He describes the amenities. Olivia "holy shit"s at the price. Oh God, I hope they redecorate. The furniture/paneling is seriously tacky.

Dante doesn't think the shirt proves anything. Michael says it's Claudia's blood and tells the rest of the story. So Sonny got rid of his shirt but not Michael's? Michael answers my question by saying he gave Sonny his clothes but hid the shirt. And Sonny didn't notice that the shirt was missing? Dante still doesn't buy it. Michael says Franco has photos. He thinks it's about time everyone stopped covering for him although because Sonny has gone through all of this, NuMichael thinks Dante should appreciate their dad more. Shut up, NuMichael.

Patrick is at Jake's drinking. He sees a drinking Claire. Patrick gets a text from Robin that she's staying home. He airs his grievances to Claire who begins to air a few grievances of her own without revealing exactly what's bothering her. Now this is a couple I might like to see.

Jax meets Skye 45 minutes late at the Metro-Court. After they sit, he tells her a little about the case and that it may not go in his favor after Carly's testimony. He also wonders if it was all worth it even if Sonny does go to prison.

Jax continues to talk about his part in Sonny's trial, including hiring Claire Walsh. He's beginning to regret hiring her since she put Morgan on the stand. Skye makes a valid point that Sonny has no boundaries, so why should the prosecuting attorney? Jax ignores the little dose of wisdom and says he could make some calls to get the case to mistrial. Skye tries to bring Jax back down to Earth, asking him why he started this whole thing to begin with. Jax: "To get my whole family out of the line of fire." Because of that, Skye advises Jax to stay the course. Hmm, leaving Port Charles makes you all sensible-like. Careful, Skye. You're back now. Jax admits there's something he can't tell Skye that might ruin his marriage more than it already is. She tells him he has to make a choice then and ask himself what's more important: the war on Sonny or his family. And...we still don't know why Skye is back.

Claire and her drink joins Patrick and his. They discuss ethics. She brings up her moral dilemma. He tells her that he knows who she is. She blames the internet. Hee. He tells her that his wife is Dr. Robin Scorpio. She guesses that he's not her biggest fan. He proves her wrong by buying her a thank-you drink.

Also at Jake's? Maxie and Spinelli. He wants to know why the decorating is so important to her. Have you met Maxie? I mean she is a fashionista. But poor Spinelli is right. There is another reason she's not telling him: the danger. Wait. Danger of interior design? I know it's something like that.

Back at Jason's pad, Sam arrives. He tells her that Maxie forced him to do the interior designing but I think he secretly enjoys picking out fabric samples. Sam gets it. It's because of the danger. And the over-compensation. And the...well, I'm glad they get it. Sam knows what it's like to be hot for bad boys. She brings up the 'volunteering for prison' thing again. I'm actually glad she didn't just let that go so easily.

Olivia and Johnny watch the view from his potentially new apartment. She observes that Jason's apartment is right across the street. She jokes they can wave at each other or shoot at each other from across the street. I think it's so Johnny can catch Jason in a towel. That's why I'd move there. Price, be damned. He says he wants the apartment for her. He wants them to move in together. Olivia says that can never happen. She leaves. Is the real estate agent still outside? She's patient.

Jason tries to explain his choice to go to prison for Sonny. He lists a lot of reasons which don't include Sam. He apologizes and she conveniently forgives him and then they discuss sex costumes. Yeah. So I guess that discussion is over.

Maxie explains why she wants to redecorate except she doesn't mention the danger and the bad boys and the over-compensation. He says that all he needs is her.

Patrick tells Claire about Robin's fascination and blindness with Sonny. He says that Claire has an advantage to everyone else in Port Charles because she doesn't have any emotional ties to Sonny. Yet. Better not get to close to him, Claire - he might impregnate you just by looking at you. He renews her confidence that she's doing the right thing.

NuMichael and Sonny are on a plane back to Port Charles. Dante thinks forensics will prove NuMichael wrong about his confession. Michael asks what happens if he gets proven right. Dante: "If you get proven right, I don't know what I'm gonna do."
