Paul tells Alexis that she is getting disbarred for the way she handled Carlos Rivera’s case.  Julian tells his hired hand that he needs him to give him some more of that drug tonight; he says he is not going to his arraignment.  He decides he leaving town, and as he tares up the Petition for divorce, he says he is leaving… and he’s taking his wife with him.  His man comes back in dressed in a hospital uniform, saying they need to get him out of there.   Sonny explains to Cristina that he had friends, growing up, who were gay; he has no problem with it – she says she didn’t know that.  He questions whether she would have ever told him or not, if he hadn’t seen them in the hallway.  She’s not sure how to answer.  She tells him she is just so messed; she can’t handle a relationship, she got kicked out of school.  He asks if she thought he would be so disappointed that he would not accept her.  She shakes her head, yes, and begins to cry.

Alexis sees Parker outside of Perks; questions why she’s there.  Parker explains she is speaking at the University this week.  Alexis questions where her daughter was last night; Parker tells her they spent the night together.  Alexis looks stunned.  Nina shows Carly all the responses from the Crimson Online website, regarding Joslyn’s transplant; Carly asks her why she is doing this.  Nina tries to explain that it is good for business, and then admits that, okay…it makes her feel good too; kind of, “motherly.”  Carly smiles and touches her hand; she says, how about just calling it what it is:  Doing the Right Thing.    Joslyn comes in; Nina tells her that she has been an inspiration to her, and to her readers.  Jos asks what all those papers are, and Carly tells her; she asks her to stop searching for her donor.  

On Cassadine Island, Lulu chickens out, and gives up the gun, when Valentine tells her he will shoot her mother at the exact moment she shoots him.  But just as they are going to start taking them all out, Jason comes down the stairs shooting.  Valentine runs into another room and hides.  Jason goes after him.  Jason comes back and tells everyone Valentine is gone… Kevin is okay; the group starts to make their way out of the mansion.  Lulu says she doesn’t want to leave Nikolas behind; Laura doesn’t either but says Kevin needs help and they need to get back to Spencer because they are all he has now.  Julian’s man comes in to give him another does of the medicine; then Nina comes in to see him.  She asks him to sign a paper, in case he gets convicted, that gives her full autonomy over Crimson.  He signs; she starts to walk away, then notices a place he forgot.  She turns to go back and bumps into the ‘nurse’ and spills his medicine all over the floor – says, “oops” telling him that it’s good he’s in a hospital where he can get more.  

Carly tells Joslyn she needs a full medical record, in case she has another occurrence.  As the adult in this situation, and her parent, she has to make this decision – Jos tells her that friends talk about her behind her back now, and people point at her.  Alexis threatens to tell the Dean Parker is shacking up with the student she suspended for trying to beguile her for a better grade; and threatens to tell her wife.  She tells her to end it; Cristina promises her dad that Parker would never hurt her.  Sonny tells her that he loves and accepts her, gay or not.
