Carly comes home to find Jax; she hugs him.  He tells her about his mother’s death; she is sad to hear this news.  They talk about old times and how much his mother loved her; he then asks what happened with Sonny.  She tells him not to say he told her so; then tells him Sonny’s grief drove him to sleep with another woman, and he lied to her about it for months.  Jax says he doesn’t see her reaching the breaking point over a one-night stand, after all Sonny’s put her through in the years past.  She explains the situation to him, and he apologizes; he tells her this is all his fault.  He tells her he paid Frank for the kidney.

After uncovering the painting, Tracy says it’s not actually her; but obviously, it reminded her father of her.  Tracy angrily yells at the two Monks, who swear they don’t understand her; a man comes around the corner, speaking English.  He tells them many years ago, a gentlemen knocked on their door looking for asylum; J.L. told them this painting reminded him of his daughter, he says.  He hands Tracy a letter from her father.  The letter tells her that he loves her, wanted to add her back in the Will but didn’t have time, and he is leaving the painting to her as her inheritance.  But when Tracy tries to take it, the man tells her he can’t let her do that; he says, they’ve had the painting for two decades… her father never came back for it.  They have offered it for sale, to help many needy people, and have someone who is willing to pay for it; he says they need money.

Hayden has flashbacks from her night with Finn, after his withdrawals.  He comes out, after taking a shower, saying he feels much better; he thanks her for staying with him, and tries to kiss her, but she pulls away.  He asks what’s wrong; she says she has to go, gives him a little peck on the lips and leaves.  At the hospital, she talks to Elizabeth; Liz tells her she has a right to be selfish, and to make herself happy.  She says she can’t sacrifice her happiness out of obligation to Finn; Hayden goes back and tells Finn that she cannot walk this road with him.  She says that he said things that hurt her, emotionally, and she doesn’t think she can get over it, because he must really feel that way somewhere deep inside.  She gives him a list of rehab centers to contact, and leaves.

Jason and Sam review the footage of the man standing at the payphone; Sam gets a text message from the bank… Julian’s credit card has been used.  Sam asks Jason if he thinks Julian could actually be alive; he says he wouldn’t put it past Julian to skip town to try to avoid charges involving his sister.  Sam gets a visit from Nathan; he asks if her mother is home.  He tells her that Julian’s credit card was used to buy a One-way bus ticket to Los Angeles, California; he asks her if she knew of any plans her father may have had.  Nathan says they are going to follow up; he says he going to stop by her mom’s later tonight.  Sam says she doesn’t know anything; he says he still has to talk to her.

Amy comes in to the cafe, on the phone again, saying she picked out an outfit; she talks about some guy being “so nice,” saying he probably doesn’t even remember her.  Dillon comes in, and acts surprised to see her; she is happy to see him.  Apparently, they went to school together and are going to be working on a reunion committee together.  They laugh about old times, he tells her he’s thought about her so much through the years; she says she has thought about him too.  She obviously has a crush on him; Kiki walks in.  Dillon jumps up to kiss her and introduces her to Amy, as his girlfriend; Amy promptly makes an excuse and says she has to get going.  She bursts into tears the moment she steps outside the door; her girlfriend calls, and she tells her how disappointed she is.  She says she isn’t right for him; she doesn’t even like Game of Thrones.  Franco comes in and says he needs to talk to Kiki; he tells her about Jake, saying he doesn’t want to be the reason Jake turns out like him.

Jason and Liz bring Jake in to talk to Andre; Andre offers him some action figures.  Jake picks the Wizard of Oz set; he says, in his story, the witch and the scarecrow are friends.  Jake calls Franco when he finishes his appointment with Andre, asking when they can finish their ‘timelines’ – Franco says, he thinks his mom and dad should help him finish his.
