Brad and Lucas are introduced at the Nurses’ Ball, only Lucas doesn’t show; Brad has no idea what’s going on.  At the hospital, Finn stands in the hallway, slipping a syringe into his pocket; Bobby wakes up and sees Lucas on the floor and starts screaming for help.  As Carly and Jason talk at the Ball, Sonny, Michael and Morgan walk in the door; she smiles to see them all together.  Meanwhile, Lucy is stressing because ‘the show must go on’ and she asks for audience participation.  Hayden tells Curtis, in front of Nikolas, that he sold one of her diamonds; he tells her to come back home with him and he will give the rest of them back.  She tells him, if he is leaving now, she is not going with him.

Kiki and Dillon perform a song about getting over a lost love, and seem to have an intimate moment or two; they receive a standing ovation (even from Morgan).  Brad is thinking that Lucas may have run out on him, having second thoughts; while, at the hospital, they are now trying to restart Lucas heart?  Brad calls Lucas’ phone and Bobbie answers it – she tells him to get over to the hospital right now, but not to tell anyone so as not to ruin the Ball.  So Brad makes up a story about Lucas getting an emergency call and said he was going to go see him ‘on break’.  Yep… back stage, Kiki and Dillon kiss (and both say “wow”); Morgan walks back stage just in time to see them.  Carly talks to Andre and it is revealed that Morgan is just on a ‘pass’ for tonight; but he is almost ready to be released.  At home, Nikolas pours out the diamonds and takes a picture of them; he texts Hayden “we can come to an agreement, come home” – she texts back, “on my way.”  

Morgan says he is a little overwhelmed and is ready to go back to the hospital; Sonny and Carly offer to take him.  Nice plug for Aveeno… once home, Carly unloads her gift bag and tells Sonny the reason she looks so young is because she uses their night cream.  Robyn talks about AIDS, and the fact that there is now a new medication that can prevent HIV; also, however, that there is a rise of new infections in young, gay men of ‘low means’ (the poor).  She begins to get teary-eyed as she talks about Stone, her first boyfriend, who gave her HIV before he found out he had full-blown AIDS.  She receives a standing ovation when she says she plans to live to see the disease conquered.

To everyone’s surprise, Sabrina steps on stage with nurse Nancy to sing, “we are here, we are now, we are one… you’re not alone anymore – we’ll be the hands to hold you up, we’ll be the eyes to help you see…” (nice song) as the scene flashes to the hospital, with Brad standing by Lucas’ bedside, where he lies hooked up to a breathing machine.  Jason comes over to Wyndemere to talk to Nikolas; Sabrina is arrested by Jordan for aiding and abetting Carlos Rivera.  Brad and Bobbie start to think Lucas’ condition is connected to the recent deaths when the notice an injection mark on his neck; Griffin asks Finn if he injected him with anything, and gets no response… for a moment – then he asks, all offended, if he really asked him that.  

Curtis hands Hayden a key card for a hotel room and tells her to stay away from Wyndemere until she can talk to the police tomorrow; he mentions Nikolas seeming rather ‘unhinged’ lately.  Flash to Wyndemere… Jason wanders the hallway where he thinks he hears something; Sam comes running in the mansion after him.  Jason reaches for a doorknob, glass breaks… Nikolas is laying on the rocks at the foot of the island, bloody and most likely dead.  I’m guessing he was trying to set Hayden up for his murder, but Jason is going to get blamed.  Wow.
