At the meeting of the Five Families, Sonny kept his cool when Claudia walked in and announced that she was a Zacchara. Sonny pulled no punches in ordering Claudia to have her family stay out of his territory. Trevor showed up and told the attendees that, on behalf of the Zacchara family, he just acquired land near the railroad tracks, which borders the former Alcazar pier property. When one of the crime lords threatened her, Claudia physically got the better of him, silencing the room. She said there was nothing else to talk about until the piers were acquired, then left. After the meeting ended, Sonny went to Max and demanded to know where Jason was. Sonny called Jason and said they need to get Ric’s piers. Then, Claudia called Sonny. "Well, isn’t this interesting," she noted. They both agreed that, if need be, they’d kill the other to get their own way.

In her hospital room, Sam was terrified to wake up and find the killer standing over her bed. After whispering a threat, he ran off so no one was able to witness the exchange. Ian entered and told Sam that he believed her story. Sam was skeptical but he went to call the authorities. Ian returned but didn’t entered Sam’s room when Jerry had stopped in to check on her. Lucky arrived and questioned her but her story didn’t seem to make sense. Lucky filled in Alexis, who assumed the text-message killer was dead. Sam was hurt that Lucky didn’t believe her and asked if she needed to die in order to prove she was telling the truth.

At Kelly’s, Maxie relayed to Spinelli the details of Sam’s attack. When she stated that Sam injured the killer, Spinelli recalled that Logan had bruised his ribs. Later, Maxie and Spinelli hid out in Maxie’s car waiting to tail Logan. When he pledged to find Georgie's killer, she pulled him into a kiss. Just then, a cop knocked on the window. After the cop left, Maxie explained that she kissed him to prevent the cop from blowing their stakeout. Spinelli was obviously flustered. Later, he had a Bogart-esque fantasy about he and Maxie. Then, when she made an innocent Chinatown remark, he got huffy, then nervous, then weird. It appears Mr. Spinelli is strange new feelings about, "The Bad Blond One."

Trevor threatened Marianna and ordered her to get the deeds to Ric’s piers. After the call ended, Ric entered with breakfast. They had a sweet chat before he headed downstairs to speak to the front desk. When he returned, Ric caught Marianna burning the pier deeds. He screamed at her to stop and saved the paperwork. She countered that she was doing it for his own good. Ric apologized, then noticed she has a bruise.

Elizabeth brought Cameron and Jake home for the first time since the fire. "It looks as good as new," she noted. Nikolas stopped by to visit and Liz was shocked that he hadn’t scheduled his surgery yet. She reminded him that Spencer needs him and he must go through with the surgery. He changed the subject by asking if Liz would help with Spencer’s birthday party, as he turns two next week. Liz then filled Nik in about Sam’s accident. He stated that he, too, was on the road and wondered if he’d hit Sam during a blackout.

As Sam slept, Diane lectured Alexis on what a poor choice a man like Jerry would be for her. Meanwhile, as Moreau, Jerry visited again with the tattooed mystery man, who ordered Jerry to get control of the piers.

Jason called Liz, who told him about Nik’s admission. She was feeling guilty for Sam’s accident but Jason stated she can’t come clean for a crime if she doesn’t know for sure she committed it.

Trevor called Marianna back and said he’s not going to ask her again to get those deeds away from Ric.
