Laura Comes Home.

Luke and Laura walk into Laura's front door with their kids trailing close behind. Lesley greets Laura with big happy tears in her eyes. Laura assures her mother that she's safe now, but announces that there will be no more lies in this family. As soon as they decide to forgo a celebration at Wyndemere or Kelly's in favor of a family meal at home, there's a knock at the door.

Lulu lets a man in who introduces himself as a doctor from the institute in France that makes LS49 (the drug that brought Laura around two years ago and is credited for her reawakening now). He says that she should return to France with him for testing and further therapy. After he leaves to give them time to discuss the matter, the family debates what would be best for Laura. Lulu thinks that going to France might be her best chance at a recovery that lasts and Nik agrees. They leave her alone with Luke so they can talk. Luke tells Laura that he just wants her to stay awake and healthy. Laura asks about their relationship and he says that he's still trying to wrap his head around the fact that she's here.

I Do...Believe My Water Broke.

Lulu, Lucky and Nikolas show up at Grandma Lesley's house to report that they haven't found Laura yet. They ask questions about when their mom first met Scott. Lesley tells them that they all made mistakes but Laura genuinely loved Scott at one time. In hopes of finding a clue where to look, Nik asks about local places that were special to them. Lesley recalls Scott and Laura's first apartment and a cabin where they used to canoe, but neither are still around. Then she recalls that they were really happy on their honeymoon in Los Angeles. Nik quickly does some research and learns that a private jet left Port Charles just two hours after Laura left Shadybrook. Off they go!

Project: Cover Lulu's Butt.

Lucky is at Sam's place eagerly awaiting some news on Lulu. He's really bummed and Sam starts to comfort him, but Elizabeth knocks on her door. Lucky hides as Sam lets her in. Liz says that she may be overstepping, but she's worried about Lucky and hopes that Sam will go to him in spite of their break up. Liz goes on to say that she and Lucky are only parents together, and Lucky is ready to move on with her. Sam thanks her but says that she's not ready to have her heart broken. After Liz leaves, Sam tells Lucky that she's finally starting to respect Liz the way that everyone else does.

Defending Luke's Life.

After much damning evidence against Luke, the slacker defense lawyer gets to call his witnesses. Bobbie starts by saying that her big brother always took care of her; in fact he encouraged her to become a prostitute. Lucky says that his father was so unconventional that he used to admit that he hated being a father. He goes on to say that he learned how to lie, cheat and run a scam from his dear old dad. Then Lulu tells the court that her absent father never really even tried to bond with her. Luke tries to speak on his own behalf, but the judge turns to the jury for their plea. One by one, everyone who has spoken stands and says "guilty" except for Tracy. She convinces them to give him another chance, so, one by one, they all say something to the effect of "not guilty, but not too innocent either".

Disco's Back?

"Dr. Quartermaine, this patient is bleeding out!" Epiphany tells Monica as they struggle to keep Luke from bleeding out. Monica can't seem to function, but thankfully Dr. Julian comes in and takes over. Monica leaves and goes to the waiting room to face Luke's family. She finds them arguing about whether or not Scottie should be among them. As they argue, Monica approaches them and tells them that she is sorry. She admits that she should've never tried to perform surgery because Tracy was right - she froze. She says that she saw Emily's face and lost focus and nearly lost Luke. She says that Dr. Julian is doing everything he can as they speak. Leslie and Bobbie are gracious and empathize with Monica's loss, but Tracy is furious.

Then, a very funky Leslie grooves down the stairs with a boom box on her shoulder. Turns out that disco is back and she's off for a date. Luke hands the baby over to Skye and heads for the door, but the doorknob burns his hand. As he tries to deal with his version of Hell, Luke ends up calling his eldest granddaughter a bad name. and then a mustached Lucky comes home. That's when things get even worse! Turns out Luke is now a cop, too! Then Mac comes over for his weekly outing with Luke -- Putt Putt golf and iced tea! Luke asks Skye what he ever did that was so horrible and she just laughs. Luke cries.

Hang On Luke!

In the waiting room, Skye is handing out coffee and Bobbie warmly welcomes Scott. Leslie tells Scott that he's hated Luke for so long that he's practically family! Lucky isn't glad to see him, but eventually clams up about it. Lulu has gone back into Luke's empty room and crawled into his bed. She talks to Laura and asks her to stay with Dad tonight because he needs her more than he ever has. "Find him. And save him. And bring him back to us," she chokes through her tears. Logan finds her there and she rushes into his arms. Johnny has arrived, too, and watches from the doorway.

Patrick Wants Another Chance

At the hospital Jax asks Elizabeth about Jerry. She blows him off, saying only that Jerry is being treated.

Robin, Patrick and Nadine focus on saving the patient. The patient's family - dressed for her wedding - arrive. Elizabeth intercepts them and tells them what she knows about her prognosis. Patrick and Robin come out and tell them that Melina is on her way to surgery for head wounds. The family is stunned. The fiancé asks them if they can save her; Patrick tells him they'll do everything they can. The family goes in to see Melina before she is wheeled in to surgery. Robin returns to talk to them for a while. Patrick listens as she calms their fears and then leads them upstairs. Another nurse comes up, tells Patrick to grow up and stop pretending he doesn't want Robin any more.

Emily's Funeral Begins.

When Nik, Lucky and Liz arrive at the church, Edward is already there lightening a candle. He tells Lucky that he was always a great friend to Emily and Liz was more like a sister. Then he addresses Nikolas. He thanks him for not listening when he tried to chase him out of Emily's life. "You made her very happy," Edward says. Liz, Nik and Lucky take their seats as other people start to arrive, first Monica followed by Dillon and Ned. Edward says that their family has lost so much…A.J., Justice, Lila, Alan and now Emily. He doesn't know how much more he can take. Jax arrives, then Maxi and Georgie. Dillon and Georgie catch up for a few minutes. He asks her why she isn't returning any of his phone calls and she admits that there is someone that she is interested in now. Dillon tells her that she is still his best friend and he wants her to be happy. Leslie is there, complimenting Monica on teaching Emily how to be a good mother to her grandson (Spencer). Monica reminds Leslie that the two of them spent years fighting over Rick and now here they are alone. Lainey and Kelly are smiling about how Emily could throw back tequila shots, and Logan greets Lulu when she arrives with Tracy. The first thing Tracy does is tell Monica that she regrets the way she treated Emily. She explains that she resented the way everyone compared her to Lila. "I am so sorry for your loss Monica and I hope you can forgive me," Tracy chokes out the words before she takes her seat. Monica is touched by her honesty. Jax finds Alexis and sees how worried she is about Nik. "It might help if he didn't have you to worry about." He explains that Jerry's nurse tells him that she has been checking in on his brother. Alexis says that she is just concerned about her client, that's all. Jax warns her not to get too close to his brother.
