Johnny insisted that with Ric's copy of the DVD gone, Claudia has no reason to stay with Sonny, but she was certain she needed the safety net of bearing Sonny's child. When Sonny walked in on their argument, Johnny said he wanted to embrace his destiny and join the mob. He offered his garage as a front. Sonny promised to think about finding a low-level position in which Johnny could prove himself. After Johnny left, Claudia said she didn't tell her brother about Ric's blackmail because she didn't want him to kill Sonny in a bid to protect her. Sonny insisted, "I would never bring another child into this world." Then he got a call from Jason about Ian's accomplice, and left. Meanwhile, Ric faced down the gun-wielding Jerry, who did not want the info on his DVDs made public because he wants to shield Jax and Carly from the fact that he had a hand in hurting her son. Jerry insisted he sent the discs because he cannot resist playing games, but Ric ruined the fun, and has to die. Ric argued that he could be useful in future operations, so Jerry relented. When Ric asked if he could assume Claudia is innocent, Jerry said, "Never assume." Later, Johnny arrived and warned Ric that if Sonny hurts Claudia, Johnny will kill Ric.

A distraught Carly assured Jason that if she's pregnant, "Jax is the only possible father." Then she told him about the blood-clot risks to herself and any baby, and asked him to stay with her while she takes a pregnancy test. But he got a call from Spinelli, and had to leave. At the penthouse, Spinelli said the person siphoning cash from Ian Devlin's account is "the Demented One" — Jerry. "You're kidding me!" Jason screamed and broke a glass. Later, Sam visited Spinelli to tell him she found office space for their detective firm. Jason told her Jerry is alive — and is connected to Michael's shooting.When Spinelli attempted to cart out a box of supplies for the new office. Jason summoned Sonny and showed him the evidence against Jerry. Sonny couldn't figure out why drug-runner Ian would want him dead — or where Ric and Claudia fit in. He ordered Jason to find Jerry and bring him in, so they could extract the truth. Claudia was on the pier when she ran into Jerry. He revealed that he destroyed all of the discs but one, and if she pisses him off, he'll turn it over to Sonny.

At Wyndemere, Helena pointed out that Rebecca couldn't look more like Emily "if she had been designed that way." Still, she dismissed Rebecca as crude, and noted the only reason Nik shows interest is because she resembles Emily. "It must be snowing in hell," Alexis observed, because she agreed with Helena. Helena referred to Alexis as "Natasha," and called her "a most disagreeable child." Helena told Nik he has a painting she wants, locked in a bank vault: an icon painting of St. Grigori. She claimed the artist painted it for her, and it has sentimental value. She threatened to sink his ships, crash his trucks and block his business deals unless he turns over the artwork. Nik agreed. On her way out, Helena said, "Your mother seems to be doing quite well at her clinic in France." Alexis accused Rebecca of being Helena's plant. She tried to defend herself, but got disgusted and left.

Robin scolded Patrick for calling her unfaithful in front of the whole hospital. "I saw you," he said. "How dare you spy on me!" she screamed, and slapped him! She said she liked that Brad had no expectations of her, and while they went on a date, they did not have sex. She blamed her postpartum depression, but he accused her of using that as a dodge. She stalked off — and ran smack into Carly. Robin assumed "this bitch" was enjoying her pain. Carly said she understood how debilitating PPD is, and suggested she turn her superiority complex on herself and get better for Emma's sake. Suddenly, Robin blurted out: "Carly's right; you're right. I'm destroying everything I love, and I don't know how to stop." She said the "hole in my head" is making her act crazy. She swore on Emma's life that she didn't sleep with Brad. Carly went home and made appointment with Kelly — then fainted and tumbled down some stairs.
