Lulu kissed Ethan as Tracy entered The Haunted Star and screamed for them to stop. Lulu noted she kissed him, and flirted like crazy as Luke observed. Tracy claimed she now knows what Ethan is really like, but Lulu suggested she "hang out" with him, and they left. Tracy noted Lulu has had a tough year: As Tracy campaigned against Ethan, Luke catalogued his good points, including, "We know he's not her brother!" Tracy wanted him fired. On the docks, Ethan accused Lulu of running a scam on Tracy. She admitted her dad asked her to flirt with him when Tracy is around, but otherwise avoid him. She asked Ethan what Luke and Tracy are up to.

Maxie broke the kiss with Spinelli to point out the tracking device is moving. They set off in pursuit, with the Jackal driving (badly). After several near-wrecks, they switched to her driving and him tracking. "We make a great team," she noted. The beacon led them back to Metro Court. In fact, all the way to the Crimson offices, where they found the stolen layout sitting on Maxie's desk. Spinelli noted his "animal magnetism" distracted her from the stakeout.

Nikolas offered to counteract Alexis' suggestion by paying Rebecca to stay in town. Alexis accused him of being Helena's dupe and stormed out. Nik recounted how Helena killed Alexis' mother because Mikkos was in love with her. Rebecca said she can handle his family. He left in pursuit of Alexis. When he caught up with her, she warned him not to play games with Helena, but he was sure Rebecca was not in league with her. Alexis warned him not to follow in the footsteps of Stefan, whose obsession with Laura destroyed him. Alexis insisted it was obvious that Rebecca didn't show up in Port Charles by accident. "I'm afraid for all of us," she sighed.

In the waiting room at GH, Carly, Sonny, Jax, Jason and Claudia heard Epiphany summon help for the O.R. "Michael's dying!" Carly moaned. In the O.R., Patrick was able to get Michael's heart pumping again. Sonny grabbed Epiphany, who explained that Michael was revived, and Dr. Drake is continuing the operation. Jax suggested that was not wise. Privately, Jax warned Sonny that Michael could die because Patrick is feeding his ego. Sonny asked what Carly wants, — and refused to order a shutdown without consulting her. He accused Jax of being more concerned about the baby than Carly. In the waiting room, Jason encouraged Carly to remember a happy time. She recalled Michael frolicking in the surf with Jason in Florida. She vowed to take him back to ocean after he wakes up. Jason admitted he was scared. Olivia arrived with food from the hotel, and traded barbs with Claudia. Sonny insisted Claudia stay, unless she upsets Carly. When Johnny arrived, he told her if Michael doesn't recover, they are both dead. Jason watched them suspiciously, then urged Sonny to send Claudia home so Carly won't be upset. Sonny vowed to find proof if Claudia was involved. Carly told Jax she's thinking positive, and Olivia urged her to eat. Jax urged Carly to stop Patrick's procedure, but Jason warned him not to pressure her. She asked Jax to fetch Sonny. When he and Claudia came in, Sonny thought it was a good idea to stop the surgery, because Patrick doesn't have experience. Carly asked Jason what to do. He pointed out that Patrick has a proven record. Sonny said Patrick is arrogant — like he was that night in the warehouse. Jason urged Carly to trust Patrick, then Claudia chimed in, "Who died and made you god?" Carly said she cares what he thinks, but Jason stalked out. In the O.R., Matt and Patrick worked together to save Michael. Sam found Jason on the roof, where he explained he pressured Carly so the decision would ultimately be on his shoulders, not Carly's. Olivia confided to Carly that whatever she decides will be the right choice. "I know what it is to be worried," Olivia noted. "Listen to your heart." Jax returned, and Liv left. He apologized for suggesting stopping the surgery. At the hub, Sonny pointed out there's a lot Claudia doesn't understand. Jax reported that Carly had made a decision. She called the O.R. and asked Patrick if he can bring the kid back if his heart stops again. "I don't know," Patrick admitted.
