Julian is woken up by a shadow of someone walking in his room; it’s Lucas.  tells him that he no longer considers him to be his father – he is nothing to him anymore.  Julian claims he tried to be a good father; Lucas laughs.  Lucas tells him to stop lying; he knows he killed Carlos and tried to kill Alexis… tells him, he is going to prison to sit there and rot, because he won’t visit or even think about writing or calling.  Olivia walks in and says that goes for her too.  She tells him he will never see Leo again.  Alexis brings home another pregnancy test.  Her girls have a girls’ night planned; she tells them she can never apologize enough for putting them through all of this.  Molly goes to get her a glass of wine.  Alexis asks Cristina how things are going with her and Aaron (the new owner of Perk’s); she tells her he has been amazing – he’s truly a great guy.  Then she asks if she’s heard from Parker; she says no (but that she is coming to the University as a speaker next week).  Cristina offers to go cook dinner; comes out with the pregnancy test.  

Hamilton Finn, apparently is Finn’s full name; he sees Sonny at the bar…mentions they met once before at a table over there, then asks if he could buy him a drink.  Sonny asks if he wants something.  He explains that he has a disease and that the FDA has not yet approved his medication, and his source is no longer available, but that without it, he is going to die.  He is wondering if there is anything Sonny can do to help.  Sonny asks what kind of medicine it is; he said they kind that has to be smuggled in from another country.  He tells Sonny that his wife died from this disease and he was on the verge of a cure when the research center was shut down.  Sonny says he knows somebody who might know somebody.  Hayden and Tracy wait in the park (for Hayden’s “drug dealer”, her mother).  But when Hayden tells her what they need, she says she can’t help.  She says money is no object; since when, her mother asks – Tracy steps forward and says since me.  Her mom asks Hayden what it is worth to her; Hayden gets pissed (says she is asking her for a favor).  She wants to help this man.  Her mom is impressed, saying that she hardly recognizes her.  

“Theo” tells everybody now on Cassadine Island that they are now his prisoners; three other men enter the room – he gets a hold of Sam and tells everyone to just cooperate and they may live through this.  He orders his men to take Jason upstairs and takes Sam with them, telling the guards to shoot anyone who moves, except Nikolas.  Laura thinks this is who sent her the picture of the Ice Princess… Nicolas swears he doesn’t remember the man; he says this guy showed up yesterday and told him that they met years ago.  Upstairs, Jason and Sam talk; he tells her that he thinks he remembers that guy; thinks he has been there before – when he was being held and brainwashed by Helena – he says he remembers the day she died; breaking in was easy… it felt like he knew where he was going (he has no conscious memory of being here with her, but he’s pretty sure he was).  

Hayden’s mom comes back and tells them that the drug street name is “Zen-Zen” and it is highly addictive.  She tells Hayden that her friend is not sick; he’s an addict.  Olivia tells Julian he is dead to her, and to Leo… Lucas says he’s dead to him too; and probably will be to Sam, when she hears about this as well.  Olivia adds, “nobody gives a damn about you anymore Julian.”  Laura asks if Theo is on Helena’s payroll; he says no – Helena means nothing to him – he shows a tattoo on his forearm.  It’s the family crest; now Nikolas knows who he is.  Alexis looks at the test; it doesn’t show yet whether she is pregnant or not, and I can’t tell if she is relieved or horrified.  Jason and Sam plan their next move; he suggests that she get some sleep while he keeps watch, and she tells him no matter how this goes, she’s glad they are in it together.  Nikolas tells everyone this is his grandfather’s illegitimate son; the man says, that’s right, he is Nikolas’ bastard uncle, Valentine Casssadine.
