Lucas showed up at Jake’s and punched out the homophobe who beat him up in the park. Coleman, Jesse and Lucky broke up the fracas, and Frank pressed charges. At the PCPD, Lucky learned Frank was the instigator, and wondered aloud to Jesse about why Lucas wouldn’t have already filed assault charges against his attacker. Dillon, Georgie and Maxie showed up to support Lucas, who planned to keep quiet about being bashed. After Jesse had a private talk with Lucas, stating that it was time to come out and press charges, Frank told Lucky that Lucas was gay and was making moves on him. Lucky tried to get the truth out of his cousin, but Lucas replied that the fight was over a game of pool. Jesse knew Lucas was lying, but stayed mum. At Kelly’s, Mike was chatting with Bobbie about his daughter’s problems. She was sympathetic, then vented about the growing distance between her and Lucas. Back at the station, Lucky was forced to let Frank go, but knew Lucas was hiding something and demanded to know what it was. Just then, Bobbie arrived and demanded to know the same thing. Finally, Lucas spilled to everyone within earshot that he is gay.
Skye caught Lulu as she was about to sneak out of the mansion. She realized the girl was attempting to head out to find her father, and tried to talk her out of it. Tracy broke up the confab and Lulu stormed out for good. Skye then chewed out Tracy, who retaliated by stating that Lulu is hardly an innocent. Skye then accused Tracy of kicking Lulu out in order to get Luke to come back to town. “Don’t be so smug,” she retorted. “He didn’t stick around for you, either.” Meanwhile Lulu went to Wyndemere and caught heartbroken Nikolas drinking and smashing things. He calmed down enough to try and talk Lulu out of tracking down Luke. “Grow up,” Nik barked, though he did apologize, and he had his little sis actually had a heart-to-heart about his messed up love life. She countered by telling him about her recent visit to see their catatonic mother. They decided everything will all work out and hugged. Nik took Lulu back to the Quartermaines, where Ned asked Nik to help keep Emily and Sonny apart. Nik replied that it’s none of his business and he’s going to stay out of Em’s life.
Jason’s appearance at the courthouse broke up the sparring between Nikolas and Sonny over Emily. Sam flipped out on the stand and was dismissed, just as Jason entered. After Sonny and Jason went into he courtroom, Emily told Nikolas off, saying he needs to move on. Alexis then grilled Jason while Durant kept objecting. Jason told the court that he has seen no change in Manny. Mysteriously, Durant chose not to question Jason. Alexis then shocked the court by calling Manny to the stand. Manny’s mild-mannered testimony prompted Sam to cause a scene during his testimony. Manny then spoke of Sam’s attempt at entrapment, while in the hall, Sam told Jason her side of the story. Then, Manny had a dizzy spell on the stand, and the judge declared a recess. During the break, Ric told Alexis that he had doubts about Manny, and wondered if Ruiz was faking it. While Manny was alone, a shot rang out. Someone put a bullet in Manny!
