On the docks, Maxie met up with Lucky, and admitted that she understands he's married but she's having trouble hiding her feelings for him. She then gives him another vial of pills and said, "Call me when you can." Meanwhile, Elizabeth went to the penthouse to see Jason and informed him that Lucky knows Morgan was the one who killed Manny. Just then, Lucky showed up, and Liz hid. Lucky realized Alexis was covering up the truth and wanted to know why. Lucky then mentioned that Sam took the file and threatened to go to internal affairs about it. Jason ordered him out, and Liz was aghast. She was upset by Lucky's addiction and the problems he was causing and was at a loss about what to do. Jason offered her sage advice, then was called away on business. Bernie informed Jason that the South Americans are feeling neglected and are considering teaming up with Alcazar instead. Just then, Robin showed up, much to Bernie's chagrin. Jason cut the meeting short and assured Bernie he'd take care of everything.
At G.H., Patrick realized that, after he was shot down by a nurse, word had spread around the hospital that he was exposed to HIV/AIDS in the operating room. Noah witnessed the exchange and bawled out his son for flirting with another woman in front of Robin. Patrick assured his father that his skirt-chasing days were over and stormed off, leaving it to Robin to fill Noah in on what happened. Patrick went to see the AIDS patient, April, but couldn't carry on a conversation about her case and exited. Robin then visited April, who complained about Patrick's bedside matter. Robin come clean about what happened in the O.R., and also disclosed her own HIV status, as well. Noah located Patrick and apologized, but Drake Junior refused any special care. "I'm not terminal, Dad, so don't treat me like I am," he huffed. Noah gave Patrick a homemade hangover remedy to deal with the vomiting that'll come with the preventative protocol of meds he's on, then told his son he's never been prouder of him. Patrick returned to April's room. She apologized, but he said nothing was her fault. April explained that she got the disease from her drug-using boyfriend. Patrick couldn't cover his genuine concern for April. Later, Patrick told his dad he tried the hangover remedy and it helped. Then, Alan showed up with the results of Patrick's first blood test. Negative. But, he's got to continue the protocol and get tested again in six months.
Mayor Floyd had a talk with Ric and advised him to stay invisible when it comes to Alexis. After all, she's the DA and he's a crime lord's brother. Meanwhile, Alexis confronted Sam about missing files and tainted records (unaware that she had nothing to do with them! Poor Sam!) Sam then mentioned she took her GED test and sarcastically thanked her mother for her support. Afterward, Alexis quizzed Ric to see if he was the one who tampered with the records in the Ruiz case. He denied it, and she tried to dismiss him. Ric then brought up the fact that Jason killed Manny, not Lucky, then surmised that Alexis made a deal with Jason that she wouldn't charge him if he stayed away from Sam. Unfortunately, Sam happened to be outside the door and heard the whole thing. Sam was appalled. Ric chastised Alexis for her actions and pointed out how her job is keeping her away from her family, then stormed out.
Maxie went to Kelly's and was nice to Lulu, which automatically sent up a red flag. Sam showed up to drown her sorrows in ice cream. Ric appeared shortly thereafter. Sam vented about Alexis and was surprised that Ric didn't jump to her defense. Inside, a concerned Lulu was counting days on the calendar. (Uh-oh!)
Liz returned home, to a romantic evening of wine and candlelight that Lucky had arranged. She wanted to discuss his pills, but succumbed to her hubby's sweet gesture. They kissed and Lucky took off his shirt. They made love. During the cuddly afterglow, Liz expressed her concern but Lucky had fallen asleep.
Robin explained Patrick's dilemma to Jason. She then confessed that she's flashing back to Stone all over again. Jason reminded her that she's living proof HIV is not a not a death sentence. Robin thanked Jason for all his support through the years.
