At the Metro Court restaurant, Sonny tried to keep Kristina calm as Alexis suffered through a coughing spell. Once she settled down, Sonny demanded to know what Alexis was covering up.

Nik refused to help his brother clean up the mess he created. "I'm way beyond stoned," Lucky laughed. He said he'd taken so many pills today, he'd lost count! A stunned Lulu interrupted the melee and was floored to learn about Lucky's infidelity and his addiction. Nikolas kicked Lucky out, but Lulu begged Nik to go after him.
Elizabeth showed up at Jason's penthouse saying she had no place else to go. Liz could tell that Jason was drinking. She blurted out the truth about Lucky's fling and downed some tequila. "Sam's sleeping with Ric," he countered. Liz was shocked. Jason lamented that he was trying to protect Sam by keeping her away, but all he ended up doing was hurting her. They started talking about their past together and Liz admitted that she was once truly in love with him. Liz said she didn't want to think about anything tonight. They kissed. Jason slipped off her shirt. She pulled his over his head, and they got horizontal behind the couch.... Post-sex, Jason brought Elizabeth a bottle of water. They admitted their surprise, but neither had regrets and said it was the only night they'd spend together. As they cuddled on the couch, Liz mentioned that she wished her son could get to know Jason better, but his lifestyle's too dangerous. "You rescued me," she smiled. "I should go." "Only if you want to," Jason replied.
At the Lake House, Sam woke up to a shirtless Ric and huffed, "Don't touch me." Sam told Ric they'd never sleep together again. She accused her stepfather of trying to one-up Jason by having sex with her and demanded to know if he felt any remorse at all for cheating on Alexis. Sam accused Ric of using her and he shot back that she has no self-esteem. "The only reason you slept with me is to get revenge on Jason!" she insisted. Sam said she's going to tell Jason the truth, but he didn't believe her. "You've been working me since day one," Sam spat. "You're a dead man. Start running."
Sonny returned home and found Ric sitting there in the dark. He confessed to sleeping with Sam. Sonny also accused his brother of using Sam to get back at Jason.

Alexis went home, flashed back to see her husband with her daughter in a clinch, cried and erupted in another coughing spell.
