So, Sam tells Drew they ‘need to talk’ and the expression on his face is one of concern.  She tells him she has feelings for Jason; he asks what that means.  She says she still loves him; Drew rolls his eyes.  He pulls away, as she tells him that she still loves him too.  She says this is “so confusing” for her, and begs him to understand; he asks her why they got married.  She says because they had built such a wonderful life and she wanted to hold on to it; she then says that ‘something changed.’  She tells him she meant everything she said in her vows; he was the only man she loved, or so she thought… she says, now, she needs to figure out who she is again.  She says she doesn’t have any idea how she let it get this far; Drew asks “how far did it get?”  She admits that they kissed on New Year’s; he says he thought something was wrong that night.  He decides he needs to move out; he says he can’t stay there, with Jason between them.  He says it’s too painful to stick around while she figures this out; she cries saying that he promised her he would always be there… he reminds her that she made promises too and he takes off his ring, leaving her sobbing as he walks out the door.

Alexis tells Julian that things are getting quite serious with Finn and her; she says he is decent and dependable, and sensitive – and makes her happy.  Julian scoffs at the idea; she tells him they take walks in the woods and says Finn is “it” for her, and leaves.  Andre tells Anna to talk to Finn, after Finn appears in the doorway at the docks.  He leaves; Finn stutters to find words and pretends he was just passing by.  Anna tells Finn that there isn’t anything going on with Andre and asks if they can talk; Finn smiles.  She explains that her trip with Andre was business not pleasure; he mocks it being ‘spy’ business, but Anna admits it wasn’t – she tells him it was personal.  She tells him seeing him with Alexis did sting a little, because she knew they had a connection; she admits that she had put up a barrier between them.  She says she tried to convince herself she was protecting him, by keeping her secret, but she was really protecting herself because she didn’t want him to think less of her.  Finn is confused.  Anna tells Finn that he makes her laugh, a lot, and she loves it; she admits it’s selfish of her, especially since he is “with” Alexis.  He tries to tell her he isn’t with Alexis, but Alexis runs through the door saying he is just the man she needs to see.  Julian has pie with Kim; they have a lighthearted chat about his obsession with Alexis.  She suggests he fake it, until he makes it; he says he can try, and they smile sweetly at each other.  As he walks her out, Kim trips, and Julian catches her; they laugh, then they kiss.  Anna excuses herself, thinking that Finn would want to talk to Alexis.  Finn tells Alexis her timing could be better; she admits that she told Julian that they were serious.  Finn is not happy.  Ultimately, though, he decides that it doesn’t matter and tells her she can “let the lie stand.”  Anna sees Andre and tells him that she basically made a fool of herself.

Sonny takes his dad to the hospital; Brad tells him they will take his vitals in just a minute.  His dad mentions a time Sonny and his friend used to play kick the can in an empty lot every Thursday; Sonny says he wasn’t there, and questions how he remembers it.  His dad can’t explain, and questions why they are there.  Sonny says they are waiting for his favorite nurse to come see him, and tells him to calm down.  Mike gets upset, “first you call me a liar, and now you want me to calm down” – he says he’s done, and he wants to go home.  Michael shows up and sits down to talk with his grandfather; Mike tells him he’s going to need earplugs when the baby comes.  The nurse comes for Mike; Michael tells his dad that he always made him feel like the most important person in the room and he intends to do the same for his son or daughter.  They talk about old times and Sonny wonders how awful it must be not to be able to remember stuff like that.  He mentions the memory Mike had of him ‘kicking cans’ and again questions how it could be; he is sure his dad wasn’t there, but Mike insists he always was.  Michael says maybe the answer is somewhere in the middle.  Michael offers to take his grandfather out to lunch at Kelley’s; Sonny stays behind.

Michael tells his mom that he is moving out of the Quartermaine’s; Carly is thrilled that he is going to be away from Nelle.  Carly is surprised to see Spenelli when he shows up at the hotel; he says he and Ellie brought Georgie to see Maxie.  She inquires as to why he is meeting with Jason, but Jason pretty much tells her it’s none of her business.  Nelle leaves her little surprise on the desk at Crimson and leaves; Carly is baffled when she sees it.  But then she looks at a picture of Morgan next to her desk and sees that the scarf he is wearing in that picture resembles this one.  Nelle pulls the fire alarm; security comes to tell Carly she needs to leave the building… she leaves the scarf there.  When she returns to the office, with Jason and Spenelli, the scarf is gone.  Carly mentions having gotten creepy phone calls previously; Jason says he will get to the bottom of this.
