Sam and Jason talk about Alexis' cancer diagnosis. Sam tells him she doesn't want her mother to die and has changed her mind about leaving town. She wants to tell Alexis about her one-night stand with Ric but feels that is selfish on her part because she should be thinking about Alexis' feelings not her own. Jason doesn't want to tell her what to do and tells her she has to make her own decisions regarding what to do about Alexis. Meanwhile, Alexis talks with Sonny at her office about her future plans for Kristina and Molly. She tells Sonny that she wants Kristina to live with Molly in the same house and that she wants Ric to raise them together. Sonny isn't really o.k. with that idea since he isn't sure he wants Ric to raise his child because of his mistrust of him. Alexis asks him to do this for Kristina and tells him about what she went through when her own mother died when she was a young girl. Sonny asks Alexis not to make plans as if she is going to die for sure and suggests she wait until she has her surgery and chemotherapy before making any long-term plans. Sonny meets up with Ric on the docks. He tells him that he just found out about Alexis' cancer and that he wants Ric to be a good husband and father right now to help Alexis through this and suggests he stay away from Sam. Ric hears an accusation out of that and insists he has no plans to be with Sam again. Sonny tells him that if Alexis dies, he will no longer be able to protect him. Meanwhile, Alexis goes home to tell Kristina about her upcoming surgery. Sam shows up and helps keep Kristina's spirits up and keeps her occupied for awhile. Ric and Sam end up talking outside on the patio. Sam tells Ric that she told Jason about their night together and that she found out that Jason knew already because he saw them together.

Alexis watches them engage in a heated conversation throught the window and has flashbacks to seeing them having sex at the cabin before. Sonny shows up at Jason's place to tell him about his conversation with Alexis. He tells him that Alexis is already making plans for her children as if she is going to definitely die and that he is concerned about what has been going on with Sam and Ric. Jason tells him that the situation really stinks and doesn't know what to do. Sonny asks Jason to be there for Sam when she needs him even if it is very difficult for him to forgive her.
