Alexis sits down with her bottle of wine, and a glass; Sam calls.  Sam tells her that Scout didn’t sleep last night and she is very tired; she’s wondering if Alexis could come over and watch the baby while she takes a nap.  Alexis tells her she doesn’t think she can make it today; Sam apologizes, remembering that the girls told her Alexis had gone to a meeting.  Alexis lets her believe that; Sam says that’s good because she shouldn’t be alone.  Alexis tells her she is not alone, saying she is with a friend from the meeting.  She hangs up and pours a small amount in the glass and drinks it.  Ava knocks on her door; she hides the bottle behind the pillow on the couch and Ava ends up finding it.  They talk about Julian; Ava says she sees him in her dreams.  Alexis recalls “seeing” Julian just moments earlier herself.  Ava offers to take her to a meeting and Alexis gets pissed; she tells her it’s not her concern.  Ava says Julian would be disappointed, and threatens to call her girls, which only makes Alexis more angry; she kicks Ava out after taking another drink of her wine right in Ava’s face.

Scotty meets with Ava; he tells her he is about to meet with Lucy again to try to get the pill bottle back.  Lucy comes in as he is walking Ava to the door and gets upset that he is still talking to her… he tries to convince her that Ava isn’t that bad.  He says it’s time to give the pills back; Lucy asks why she would do that.  He brings up their daughter, Sabrina; Lucy asks if he is threatening to call their daughter and tell on her.  He says, ”whatever it takes.”  He tells her that she should want her daughter to be proud of her for doing the right thing and sticking by a friend; she tells Scott, he’s right.  She says Sonny has always been a faithful friend, and she knows now what she needs to do.  She leaves.  Ava comes back; Scotty tells her the news is not good, as he offers her some of the expensive wine he bought for Lucy. 

Jason listens to Elizabeth and Franco, but he doesn’t believe them.  Liz assures Jason that she knows what she is talking about; something is wrong with Jake because of Helena.  Jason says Jake was doing fine, until Franco starting spending so much time there; Liz tells him this is not because of Franco.  Jason tells her he disagrees and he thinks maybe Jake shouldn’t be living there if Franco is going to be; he leaves.  Franco does his best to comfort Elizabeth, by telling her that Jason loves Jake way more than he hates him; he says Jason saw the pictures, he has to know something is wrong and he will come around.  Elizabeth says she thinks he is being awfully optimistic.  Elizabeth is afraid that Jason might fight her for custody, and tells Franco that maybe they should hold off on having him move in after all.  She says it’s not what she wants, but maybe it’s for the best; Franco leaves, hurt, saying they just as well get started.

Laura interrupts Sonny and Carly's argument; Carly says they are done anyway and leaves.  Laura asks Sonny if he wants to talk; he says not really, and asks how she’s doing after the custody hearing went against the kids.  She tells him she is beside herself; then she tells him that Nina and Valentine hired Nelle as their nanny.  She tells him that she has talked to Michael about Nelle, but she felt like there was something he wasn’t telling her; Sonny explains that Nelle used Morgan’s death to hurt Carly and their family, without giving too much detail.  He tells her to have a back up plan because Nelle is a disaster waiting to happen; Laura then mentions he lost he looks.  He tells her that he is just not sure he has it in him to go after Carly anymore; she tells him to dig deep and make damn sure there is nothing left because he gives up on something so precious.

Carly goes to talk to Jason, but ends up talking to Sam when he isn’t there; Sam understands exactly how Carly feels, having had a brief relationship with Sonny herself all those years ago.  Carly asks if she thinks their marriage is over; Sam says a marriage is over when it stops growing.  She tells Carly that she has admired her and Sonny for years, adding their love is so strong; she asks her if she doesn’t think they have it in them to grow just a little bit more.  She goes to see Sonny, who is now home; he says he’s glad she’s there.  She says, well, she is his wife, at least for the time being.  Lucy comes to the door; she tells them both that she has waited long enough to tell them something and cannot wait another minute; she holds Morgan’s pill bottle behind her back.
