Kristina visited Michael with a joint — just as Carly arrived. He hid the weed under his blankets as Carly sent Kristina away so they could talk. Patrick and Robin arrived with good news: He can go home. Carly begged him to come home with her, because moving in with Sonny will break Morgan's heart. He agreed, in order to keep her calm. Kristina returned to the room to retrieve the weed, and Jason caught her. She confessed she wanted to help Michael with his pain. He told her to stay away from Michael; she told him the same thing. When Michael arrived home, the place was decorated with balloons and Jax and Morgan were dressed for karate class. "Our family's complete now," Carly beamed. But Michael felt like he no longer belonged, because the had all moved on without him. Carly insisted they all still love him. "You're trying to control me!" Michael screamed, and ran outside. Kristina pulled up in a car, and the teens drove away.

In the operating room, Matt fought to save Brianna when her heart stopped. At the nurses' hub, Robin and Patrick were discussing Michael's case when Matt told the duty nurse, "The patient died." Matt insisted to Robin he did everything correctly, and then stormed off. Patrick found Elizabeth cleaning up the operating theater. He lamented letting Matt do the surgery. "Dr. Hunter did a good job," Liz said. She likened Patrick to an artist with a scalpel, and said Matt isn't quite that good. Patrick asked his brother what went wrong, and offered to help figure out why. Matt bristled at enduring a condescending lecture. "Sometime patients die," he snarled. "It's not a mystery." Diane showed up to reveal she was retained by Brianna's family to sue Matt for malpractice and wrongful death. Patrick and Robin immediately defended Matt, but Diane said Dr. Hunter's incompetence killed Brianna, not her minor injury. When Robin urged Matt to check his insurance, he was offended and asked how they could know he didn't make a mistake.

Spinelli summoned Maxie and Lulu to the spa, where he had trailed Kate. He was convinced she would open up to her masseuse. The trio were stunned to see Giselle enter the same suite. The trio listened at the door as Giselle reminded Kate that Couture provided the financing for Crimson, and if Kate stops doing her bidding, Giselle will go public with that information.

At G.H., Kelly finally located the heartbeat of Claudia's baby. Then she scolded Claudia for endangering the baby by falling down stairs and by enduring the stress of keeping Ric's possible paternity from Sonny. Claudia got offended and left. Meanwhile, Sonny told Jason he won't move against Claudia without solid proof, so he's waiting on the paternity test. But if the baby proves to be Ric's, then Claudia is "out of here." Jason started to argue, but Olivia interrupted. She said she realizes now how important children are to him, so she needs to reveal a secret she's been keeping. Claudia arrived home in time to overhear Liv say she walked in on Claudia and Ric in a close moment. "Is there any chance that this baby could be Ric's?" she asked. He told her he knows it's possible. Claudia burst in, screaming denials and hurling abuse at Olivia for hooking up with Johnny and now moving on to Sonny. She also hurled a book at Liv as she fled. "You go to hell, too, you hypocritical bastard," she screamed at Sonny. "I've been faithful to you!" Sonny glared at her at replied, "We'll see." He said he doesn't care if she moves out. So she packed up, then took a last look around. "I'm gonna take care of you," she told the baby in her belly, as Sonny listened.

Carly could not locate Michael, so she summoned Jason, but he refused to hunt for the kid, noting that she can't keep her son on leash. She pointed out that the last time she listened to him, Michael got shot. On the road, Kristina revealed she had borrowed the car, and drove recklessly. As Kristina and Michael chatted, she took her eyes off the road for a moment. "Look out!" Michael shouted as the car swerved.
