Spinelli broke up Maxie and Johnny's dockside clinch. She looked stricken. Johnny told Spinelli he broke up with Lulu, and that he and Maxie are attracted to each other. Spinelli punched Johnny and jumped him, so Maxie broke it up. She said, "the kiss just happened," and Johnny insisted it meant nothing, then left. Maxie apologized and said she was mad at Lulu, but Spinelli freaked out. She promised it wouldn't happen again, but he didn't believe her. She admitted being attracted to the mobster, but nothing happened. Spinelli asked if he would ever inspire the same desire in her that Johnny does. She said nothing, so he stalked off, wishing her luck. Spinelli found Johnny outside Kelly's, and conceded that he doesn't light Maxie's fire. He warned Johnny to "cherish and value" Maxie, or he will "grind [Johnny] into the ground." Meanwhile, at the seedy motel, Ethan hid his snapshot of Robert and Luke, then demanded to know how Lulu tracked him down. Lulu suggested that Tracy thinks Ethan is scamming Luke. Ethan said from the moment he met Luke he felt like he'd known him all his life. When Ethan deflected suspicions back to Lulu, she flipped out and admitted she just broke up with Johnny, then stormed out. Lulu returned home, where a sobbing Maxie urged her to reconcile with Johnny. Lulu accused Maxie of ruining four people's lives out of vanity — and ordered her to move out. Tonight.

At Kelly's, Rebecca got the results of the biopsy over the phone. Nikolas comforted her as she cried. "I'm fine," she sobbed. "No cancer." Nik called for a celebration, so they shared an ice cream sundae. When she got a call, she tried to take it in private, but Nik followed her and heard her yell at the caller, "Think for yourself!" She claimed it was a friend from home. Rebecca professed to feeling more alive than ever, and thanked Nik for talking her down when she was freaking out. Nik walked her back to her room, and she gave him a peck on the cheek.

In the lobby of Mercy, Claudia spotted an eavesdropping Carly and told Kelly that she will be careful to avoid pregnancy, because Sonny doesn't want any more kids. After she left, Carly asked Kelly about the dangers of getting pregnant. Kelly "strongly" advised against getting pregnant again. Kelly wanted more tests to confirm that Carly is susceptible to a blood-clotting problem that could trigger strokes or embolisms. Carly wondered if the condition would force her to terminate a pregnancy? Later, Carly went to Michael's room to tell him she doesn't know whether to hope the dizzy spells mean she's pregnant. She has always wanted to have a baby with Jax, and feels compelled to risk a pregnancy in order to give Jax a child. She asked Michael to have good thoughts for her. After she left, Michael moved his entire hand. In Sonny's study, Jason accused Ric of lying about Claudia ordering a hit that went wrong. When Sonny demanded proof, Ric produced one of Jerry's DVDs. Claudia arrived just as Sonny popped the disc in the player. There was nothing on the DVD, so Claudia pleaded ignorance and innocence. Ric insisted she was guilty. Sonny said if either of them runs away, he will know who's guilty. Later, Claudia thanked Sonny for not automatically believing Ric. But Sonny cautioned her: If Ric was telling the truth, "There wold be no place you could hide from me." Jason brought Ric to the pier and held a gun to he head. Ric revealed he made a copy of the evidence, and the truth of Claudia's guilt will come out.

At the new nurses' hub at General Hospital, a woman walked out of the elevator and into the darkness. She typed some codes into a computer terminal, looked around and laughed. It was Helena!
