Griffin tells Hayden that her test results, aside from falsely being opiate positive, show that she is pregnant; she wonders why a lab tech, checking for opiates, would even check for pregnancy.  Griffin says he is going to check on something and promises them he will be right back; Finn asks Hayden if she could really be pregnant.  She says she has been focused on other things and hasn’t been paying attention to her cycle; Griffin returns.  He tells them another lab tech noticed the presence of HGC in her bloodstream from the first test, and ran the pregnancy test; she is indeed pregnant.  Hayden says she is the least maternal person she knows; Finn tells her she is good with Roxie.  She tells him she doesn’t know if she’s ready to be a parent, asking if he is.  He says he doesn’t know, after they talk for a while, but says he will support whatever decision she makes.

When Nina realizes Anna has been listening to their conversations this whole time, she is stunned; she tells Curtis Anna has been targeting her husband and knows exactly where to aim.  Valentin tells Anna he is busy and turns down her invitation to go the park and have a picnic; she says she was hoping they could build on how close they got yesterday.  He tells her he doesn’t want to see her again, today or any other day; at the bar, Nina fills Curtis in on Anna’s past with Valentin and her claiming to want to make amends.  Jordan surprises Anna when she sits down with her at a table in the diner; …Curtis tells Nina to be very careful, when he sees Valentin step in the room.  Valentin makes another plea for Nina’s forgiveness; he tells her he was a fool.  She tells him he’s right, and says, Anna has been using him this whole time.  She gives him his busted watch back and tells him it was bugged; Valentin gets angry and goes to see Anna.  Jordan tells Anna that she actually thought she and Andre might get together after they broke up; Anna denies sensing anything there.  Jordan then tells her what Valerie says, and struggles with whether it was true or not.  Anna tells her to quit stressing over it; if she is happy with Curtis she says, go for it.  Valentin tells Nina that Anna called again today and he told her he doesn’t want to see her again; he says that’s twice he has let Anna destroy his life and he will never forgive himself.  Curtis comes into the diner and asks Jordan to escort him to the Nurses’ Ball; she agrees.

Michael overhears Nelle on the phone, leaving a message for Nina about spying on her husband; Nelle tells Nina that she is going to have to find another nanny for Charlotte.  She explains to Michael that Nina threatened to fire her unless she did what she wanted; she says she followed him once, and hated every second of it… she tells Michael she actually lied about what he was doing.  She tells Michael she just quit; she tells Michael she is going to go somewhere else because there’s nothing left for her there.  Michael says she doesn’t have as many enemies as she thinks; but can’t give her a reason to stay.  He tells her good luck and walks away.  A man shows up on the pier and mugs Nelle; grabbing her purse and shoving her over some crates.

Carly questions why her lawyer is at this restaurant with her husband; Martina apologizes, telling Carly she asked Sonny to meet, to tell him she is removing herself from the case “to avoid the appearance of impropriety.”   She tells Carly that she has personal reasons to quit the case.  Carly asks her to explain; Sonny speaks up, saying he is the reason.  He says the two of them know each other; Martina chimes in and says she was involved with a law firm that handled a suit for Sonny’s coffee company years ago.  Carly says she can understand that, maybe, but questions why Martina told Sonny before telling her; she says she meant no disrespect, calling Sonny by his first name, which makes Carly even more suspicious and she accuses them of conspiring together.  Martina leaves; Carly and Sonny start screaming at each other about cheating and lying, and Carly insists Sonny tell her the whole truth about Martina.  He avoids answering by changing the conversation; Carly gets frustrated and leaves.

Michael tells his mother Nelle is leaving town.  She says it’s for the best; Nelle lays unconscious on the ground, with blood on her forehead.  Valentine tells Anna that he can’t deny what they have anymore and asks her to join him somewhere they can be alone; she wakes up in a hospital bed.  A nurse tells her she is going to be just fine.
