Michael summoned Sam and — after making her promise not to tell Jason — told her he's been having memory flashes from his coma. He recalls Claudia apologizing, and Jax saying something about being involved and that Carly must never know. At Mercy (where Johnny was sent due to overcrowding at G.H.), Spinelli told Johnny about the vehicular mayhem at the carnival. Johnny insisted Claudia not be told about his condition, adding that if he dies, Spinelli must promise to get Jason to protect Olivia from Claudia. Johnny tried to give the Jackal a message for Jason, but passed out. Meanwhile, Bernie went to Sonny's and told Claudia that Anthony hit Corinthos interests, and badly wounded Johnny. At G.H., Patrick told Olivia he knows Sonny and Dominic are father and son. She said she has no regrets and makes no apologies for hiding that. As a father and son himself, Patrick asked her to reconsider, citing his experiences with Noah and Matt, and warning that Sonny and Dante will feel betrayed when the truth comes out. Ronnie visited Dante and suggested that saving Morgan will ingratiate him with Sonny. At that moment, Jason walked in and eyed Ronnie. Dominic vouched for him and Ronnie fled. Jason thanked him for saving Morgan, and noted he owes Dom a favor. Bernie arrived and told Jason about Johnny saving Spinelli. Meanwhile, at the prison, Anthony went into a table-flipping rage. Claudia raced to Mercy, where Spinelli told her Johnny had a collapsed lung — and Anthony was behind the hit. Claudia slapped him and warned, if Johnny dies she has nothing, and the whole town will feel her wrath. When Jason arrived, Spinelli recapped the warehouse hit. Jason banned him from doing any more mob business because, "You're like a brother to me," and he protects his family. Spinelli recounted how Johnny wants Jason to protect Liv, and Jason realized Johnny considers Claudia a threat. Olivia visited Dante alone for a moment, and they shared their feelings. He said he realizes maintaining his cover is hard for her. Then he admitted that he's considering abandoning the case because he's come to like Sonny and his family. But he's going to do his job, because no other cop has ever comet his close to taking down Sonny (and Johnny). She noted that if Sonny went toe prison it would break her heart, but Sonny chose his path; Johnny never had a choice.

After Rebecca told Nikolas and Ethan she is sticking by Edward's side, Ethan wondered if Nik will take into account Rebecca's "grace, compassion and dignity" dealing with Edward. When Nik scoffed, Ethan accused him of conning people into thinking he's "the good Cassadnie." Elsewhere, Elizabeth and Lucky admitted they've been down this road before — twice — and she suggested they're better at not being married, because they could fall back into old, destructive patterns. He challenged her to say she doesn't love him. She admitted she's loved him since they were teens, and her life doesn't make sense without him in it. He feels the same. She wanted to think about it. Later, Elizabeth visited Nik at Wyndemere, where she told him she couldn't figure out how to tell Lucky she loves him, but not the way he wants. She can depend on him him, but there's no passion. He urged her to tell him the truth. She pointed out she has feelings for "someone else." When he egged her into admitting it's him, he said, "I want you," and they kissed. Ethan asked Lucky to stop Nik from taking revenge on Rebecca. Lucky said Nik wouldn't hurt Emily's sister. Ethan called him naive and left.

Later, at Mercy, Jason told Spinelli that Johnny will recover. Johnny awoke and asked Jason to protect Olivia from Claudia. Claudia visited Anthony in prison because she wanted to see his face when he realized he ordered his own son's murder. She threatened to exact a revenge so terrible, "You will be praying for the mercy of death."
