As Spinelli vowed to learn who had hacked his beloved laptop, Winifred approached, and they instantly bonded. Meanwhile, Maxie was complaining to Sam about Winifred "stalking" Spinelli. Sam suggested Maxie be happy her "friend" found a kindred soul — or risk pushing him into Winnie's arms. Maxie lamented that she used to be the kind of girl who stole boyfriends, not had them stolen (not that he's her boyfriend.) Meanwhile, Winifred was thrilled to know "Stone Cold" really exists and pressed the Jackal for real-life details he used in creating his Saga of Stone Cold game. Later, Spinelli explained his worries about the hacker, since he has access codes to "unimaginable places." Winifred suggested teaming up — just as Maxie arrived. Maxie dissed Winnie's attitude, speech and looks, driving her away. Spinelli glared at Maxinista and scolded: "This is totally beneath you." Later, Maxie offered Spinelli a soda and tried to convince him that Winifred is up to something creepy and cannot be trusted. Much later, Sam was trying to get Jason on the phone when Lucky walked in. He wondered if she still has a thing for Jason — or if she is still doing illegal stuff. Whatever, he's tired of being left out, so he left.

At Metro Court, an electrician was unable to tell Jax why the hotel lost power on New Year's Eve. Olivia asked if he checked the plumbing. The professional scoffed. Alexis arrived with division-of-assets paperwork for Jax. Later, the electrician had to admit Liv was correct: a leak had shorted out the electrical system. Jax was so impressed he offered Liv the job of plant manager, at 15 percent above her old salary — and with benefits (and the gleam in his eye implied he wasn't talking dental). Later, Nikolas visited Nadine at the nurses' station just as she learned she's being audited by the IRS. Suspecting Equinox was behind this, Nik asked Alexis to take her case. Alexis contacted a friend in Washington with ties to the incoming administration.

Claudia watched the DVD as Jerry warned her he hid an incriminating disc in Sonny's house. At that exact moment Carly strutted in. When Claudia scolded her for barging into "my house," Carly pointed out that she decorated the place; Claudia said she's going to redecorate. Carly flopped onto "her" couch. Claudia ribbed Carly about Sonny being married to someone else now, and accused her of trying to get Sonny out of the mob biz so her precious Jason will be top dog. Carly sad she had been sitting out the conflict, but Claudia's needling made her want to take a hand. Claudia said Sonny will eliminate Jason. Carly decided Claudia is a danger to Sonny, and vowed to get to get rid of her.
