Kevin apologizes to Laura for the kiss; he thinks he overstepped his bounds.  Laura assures him that she didn’t mind at all.  He tells her that he has been sleepwalking for so long and she has woken him up; she laughs and tells him that he already told her that on the plane when he was delirious.  Well, he says, then she knows that it wasn’t just the fever and drugs talking.  She smiles.  Sam comes home from the funeral to see if her mom is okay; she sits down to tell her mom that she’s pregnant and gets nauseous and runs to the bathroom.   

Jordan talks to Paul about the hospital killer case… he is pushing her for a lead; she says they don’t have any.  Curtis wants to get Valerie looked at but she is just worried about finding the person who took the cuff link.  Franco overhears them talking about catching the killer and steps in to the lab… Valerie assures Franco that when she knows anything for certain she will let him know.  She goes and tells Jordan they do have a lead now.  Valerie looks at samples of old coin cuff links and recognizes one like the one she found on the floor; Jordan tells her to go home and Curtis offers to take her.  As Curtis puts her to bed and says he is going to let her rest, Valerie stops him and tells him to stay; they make love.  Griffin and Claudette are making out; Maxie and Nathan walk in to see them.  Maxie starts to rant, asking Griffin if he even knows who this woman is – Nathan figures it all out in that moment.  Maxie is upset that Griffin never told her, after all she has told him about their problems, with him already knowing it all.  Griffin has nothing to say, until Nathan confronts him.  Then he points out that Nathan has some amends to make himself, for shooting an unarmed man.  He tells Nathan that he forgives him, and Nathan grabs him and pushes him up against the wall.  Maxie yells at him, telling him he can’t do this because he’s a cop.  Nathan stops and runs out of the room; Maxie tells Nathan his reaction in there proves that he is still in love with his ex-wife.  

Griffin tells Claudette they cannot be together because it hurts too many people and he leaves the room.  Elizabeth is working when Jason brings Jake to her; he lets her know that he knows Sam is pregnant and they are getting married.  Elizabeth tells Jason that she is happy for him and wishes them nothing but the best.  He holds her hand and tells her that she will always be part of his family and it means the world to him to have her blessing.  Elizabeth begins to cry as he walks away, just as Franco walks by.  Franco asks her if she’s okay and she says no; not at all.  She tells him that Sam is pregnant and her and Jason are going to live happily ever after; he says that sucks.  Diane comes to see Alexis and kind of forces Alexis to tell Sam about being suspended; Alexis gets mad at Diane after Sam leaves.  Diane tells her to go get dressed and stop moping; she says success is determined by how you handle setbacks and points out that she would tell her the same thing if the situation was reversed.  Alexis says it must be exhausting to be right all the time; Diane says it is.  She tells Alexis they are going to lunch at the Metro Court.
