Liz assured Ric she wouldn’t blow his trap for Jason. He then got a call that Carly had flipped out in the E.R. “I’ll make you pay!” Carly yelled as she trained her gun on Sonny. Jason slipped by during the ruckus and entered what he assumed was Sam’s room but was confronted by an armed policewoman. Before she could call for backup, Jason overpowered her. Meanwhile, Ric realized Carly was intentionally causing a diversion and discovered Jason had escaped. Ric then quarantined Carly, Jax and Sonny for questioning, where the guys admonished her for her stunt. Charges against Carly were dropped and she left with Jax.
Liz found Jason and he said he needed her help to get Sam out of the hospital. Jason then took Epiphany hostage and dragged her onto the elevator.

Liz took Sam to a safe place where she was reunited with Jason. Meanwhile, we learned Ric had placed a tracking device on Liz and discovered where they were located.

Laura recalled her violent confrontation with Rick. Luke burst in and was crushed to find her in such emotional distress. “I killed my stepfather,” she sobbed and was terrified of going mad again. Luke begged her to leave with him but she demanded to know the entire truth. “I forced you to confront things you weren’t ready to handle,” Luke lamented. “I thought I could take care of you.” He said they needed professional guidance but Laura said all she ever needed was him. He agreed to help her remember and explained how Rick had been drugging her to forget that she accidentally killed his lover years ago. Laura then recalled on her own how four years ago, Rick tried to drug her again and she killed him with a blow to the head. “It wasn’t murder,” Luke explained. “It was an accident.” Laura begged Luke to forgive himself and they tenderly embraced.
