Kristina vowed to stick by Michael on the run. They got on a bus and Kristina complained about her overbearing mom and felt bad about putting so much stress on Sam. Michael told her that she's better off without him and that her future is bright and wondered why she'd risk it all to be with him. Kristina tried to prove that she’s not the goody-goody Alexis makes her out to be. She got emotional when Michael mentioned losing control of the car that killed their baby brother. "Stop talking about it! Let's just make it an accident so it's not anyone's fault!" she yelled.

At Jake's, Lucky and Ethan beat up Dominic. Lulu was angry and blasted them for hurting him. "They're just on edge cause they're scared of me," Dominic smiled, then made a crack about his relationship with Lulu, which just angered Lucky more so he threw another punch. Nikolas and Rebecca also stepped in. Lulu took him to G.H. to get cleaned up and make sure he doesn't have a concussion. Dom didn't think he needed to be checked out but Epiphany quickly put him back in line. "Dude lets himself get beat to a pulp and still goes home with the chick!" Coleman cracked. Rebecca urged Lucky and Ethan to give Lulu some respect and back off like she asked them to. Ethan approached Rebecca and pointed out how sickening she's behaving with Nik. "You're nothing but a stand-in for your dead twin to him," he scowled.

Jerry phoned Claudia from a plane. She surmised that Michael will come home when he realizes he's exonerated. Jerry vowed to keep that from happening and if it does happen, "Mr. Morgan will become the new target," he declared before hanging up. Meanwhile, Sam and Jason continued to hit the road searching for the teens and expressed their concerns, pointing out how dangerous it is for them to be on the road. They decided to check out two Mexico locations. Jason was wary when Sam suggested they split up for efficiency, citing the dangers of traveling alone. She scoffed.

Johnny came by to see Claudia and questioned his sis's relationship with Sonny. She insisted that they have a connection now that they've been through hell and back. He wasn't so sure and told her that he spied Sonny making out with Olivia. Meanwhile, Sonny paid Olivia a visit to figure out the terms of their relationship. Sonny explained that he's just seeing Claudia through her surgery and doesn't really love her, adding that he's between a rock and a hard place with the women in his life. She didn't want anything to do wit him; he called her out on sleeping with Johnny but told her they can't deny the connection they share. Olivia admitted that she used to be madly in love with him but she knew he was bad news then and he still is today. She declared that she deserves better than to be his play thing whenever he desires. Sonny agreed that she does deserve better than him; she kicked him out. Later, Johnny showed up. Olivia explained she told Sonny she never wants to see him again. "You're too good for the guy, anyway," Johnny tried to convince her. They agreed to put it behind them and quickly fell into bed.

Back at G.H., Mike gave Sonny some sound advice on marriage and advised him to either step up and make it work or walk away when it comes to his relationship with Claudia. Sonny agreed he needs to make a choice and said it's best for everyone if he just makes a clean break. Meanwhile, Claudia woke up with a start after having a happy dream about Sonny coming to pick her and their new baby up from the hospital. Then Sonny entered the room.

Sam fell asleep in the car; Jason stole a few glances and placed a jacket over her shoulders as their song played in the background. When she woke up, Sam admitted that the moment reminds her of spending time behind the wheel with her brother Danny. They had a sweet exchange and she thanked him for being so kind and remembering Danny after he passed away. Then she teased him about his sweet tooth as they approached an exit and split up. Meanwhile, Michael promised Kristina everything would work out just as the bus driver announced the next stop is El Paso. They readied themselves to put on an act and cross the border. Jerry watched them from afar.
