Nina comes back to her office to find Franco standing there, naked – says he thought he would remind her how big his hands are.  She smiles.  Griffin comes in to see Maxie; tells her Nathan is going to be fine.  Anna realizes what has happened and tries to get out of the freezer room Carlos locked her in; she begins to panic.  Jordan tells Paul they are going to find Carlos, adding that she knows he is hoping Carlos is never found because, then, he will go down for killing Sloane.  

Julian apologizes to Carlos, calling him ‘friend’, as he stabs him again and again, takes the money back, and pushes him into the water.  Franco tells Nina that he said some things that were a mistake, he’s lost without her, he says – so he came to bear himself, no defenses, no armor, asking her to forgive him.  He begs her to come back to him.  Michael happens along the docks and hears Carlos calling out; he is stunned to see him floating there, bleeding.  He pulls him out of the water and tells him that he will get him help if he tells him where Sabrina and the baby are.  Jordan, Paul and Andre deduce that Anna probably went to look for Carlos on the peer; Jordan and Paul leave to go check the docks.  Andre contemplates what Carlos would have done with Anna, if he found her first.  

Anna is acting strange all of the sudden; apparently the freezer is setting cold (the floor is warmer); she lies down on the floor.  So even though she smiled, Nina tells Franco that every step closer she takes to herself is a step away from him.  The more independent she is, the more he fights her – she says, he only loves her when she needs him; and the less she needs him, the less he wants her.  Julian interrupts them.  Franco leaves and Nina asks Julian what he’s doing there.  

Michael calls 911 even though Carlos told him to go to Hell; he calls Sonny and tells him to meet him at the ER.  Maxie talks to Olbrecht as they wait for news about Nathan; Olbrecht says she regrets not ever having been there for her son.  Maxie tells her being there now is what counts.  Jordan is at the docs now, with Paul… no Anna.  Andre finds Anna in the meatlocker and brings her into the hospital.  Paramedics bring Carlos in.  Alexis finds Julian in the office, with Nina, seeming slightly suspicious but not sure of what; he makes up a lie about the stain on his shirt (which was blood), saying he spilled red wine on it.  Nina looks confused by this lie.  Franco shows up at the hospital; Olbrecht hugs him.  She then gets mad at him for being self-absorbed as he starts to complain about his and Nina’s relationship, rather than being sympathetic about her son; she tells him she can’t protect him anymore since she isn’t Chief of Staff - he’s on his own.  Felix tells Sonny, Anna, and others at the hospital that Carlos has requested a priest to give him his last rites; he doesn’t know if he’ll make it long enough for a priest to get there.  Griffin tells them all that he is a priest; he’ll do it.
