Maxie broke free from a gun-toting Officer Murphy, in the ensuing struggle, Jesse shot the crooked cop. He then scolded Maxie for putting her life in danger. While awaiting the ambulance, Lucky called wounded Murphy a sell-out, Murphy implied that Lucky would see his side of things when Elizabeth wanted expensive things. (Turn the knife, why don’t you?) Once at the station, Mac chewed out Lucky and Jesse for putting his daughter in harm’s way. They protested that they didn’t realize Maxie was still there. Mac told the cops they were now partners, and Jesse gloated when he realized he was Lucky’s superior. After Jesse left, Mac shared his plan with Lucky: Keep an eye on Jesse and make sure he steers clear of Maxie. On the docks, Jesse coldly told Maxie that he’d gotten what he wanted from her and had only been playing her. Maxie didn’t buy it and told him she wasn’t giving up.
Jax came home to find Courtney looking over decorating samples for the nursery. He asked her to start referring to the baby as their baby and reminded her that she’s the one who is about to be a mother. Their tender moment was interrupted by a knock at the door; it was Liz. She had test results, she and the baby are in perfect health. While Courtney squirmed, Liz noticed the fabric swatches for the nursery and offered to throw in her “artistic two cents.” A ticked Court left for an appointment. After Lucky called and told Elizabeth that he had been shot at, but was okay, her legs buckled, but Jax caught her. She confessed that Lucky’s dangerous career worried her. Jax covered her with a blanket and fussed over her. She noted that Jax would spoil the baby and that a child shouldn’t be handed everything. Lucky arrived and Jax promptly suggested that he transfer from street cop to a desk job for Liz’s peace of mind. Jax’s offer to help out financially did not go over as he intended.
Reese chided Sonny for saying he would bring in Michael, and then sending the boy away. Corinthos argued that he was protecting Reese by keeping her out of it. Reese voiced her concern that Sonny would always hold things back from her. He laid on the charm and she warmed up.
Lucky called Nikolas with the news that Emily had been hauled to the station for info on Michael’s whereabouts. Em placed a call to Sonny, who arrived at the station with Reese in tow. Reese defended Emily against Durant’s threats. Nikolas arrived and ushered his wife out. He was clearly irked that she’d called Sonny and noted that they don’t talk anymore. Courtney, who was at the station, overheard. At home, Nik and Em continued to argue over the risk she took. Sonny entered and got in the middle of things, Cassadine turned his anger on the mobster. Em tried to break things up, “This isn’t about anything, but us and our crumbling marriage,” she said. Ouch! Nik slunk off and met Courtney on the docks. Reese arrived with a court order from Durant.
On the boat, Michael was surprised to see Jodie, who informed him that she had important news: He didn’t kill AJ. The girl hid when Jason and Sam came along. Afterward, Michael found Jason and Sam on the deck and confessed that they were not the only ones onboard. They were puzzled as the boy explained that Jodie always seems to know where he is and that she claims to know who killed AJ. Michael brought them to his room and began speaking to Jodie — who was invisible!
