Defending Luke's Life.

Skye sticks around Ric's office for a while after Alexis leaves. He tells her that they are a lot a like and that they could be good together. She gives in to a big kiss and then pulls away. "I'll get back to you on that," she tells him and leaves.

Another Loss.

Ric has called Skye into his office to reiterate his offer to broker her waterfront property deal. He says that Sonny has been arrested in NYC and it's perfect timing. Skye suggests that he might just be interested in sticking it to his brother. She reminds him that Sonny saved his life by giving his blood and Ric says that going after Sonny is a hard habit to break. He changes the subject and asks why she hangs around with a revenge junkie addict like him. She tells him that he's handsome and dynamic and she is willing to be his revenge-junkie sponsor. The sexual tension is thick between them as he tells her that she is his only appointment for the day.

Alexis knocks on Ric's office door and when he finally tells her to come in, she realizes that she has interrupted something between him and Skye. They are embarrassed, but try to keep their composure.

Luke even sings "His Way."

At the hospital, Luke wakes up from a nap to find Skye sitting with him. She tells him that she'll be waiting for him when his surgery is over, but Tracy comes in and throws her out. Luke tells Tracy that she's being selfish and mean-spirited so that can only mean one thing - her conscience will kick in no time. Just then, Alan appears right on cue. He talks to her about how much she needs to hear the Christmas story tonight because she has forgotten how to be generous of spirit. Lulu arrives, so Alan stops taking. Luke tells Tracy and Lulu that he wants a "Viking funeral". He says that he wants to be laid in a row boat, set aflame and then pushed out into the harbor. Tracy quips that wouldn't be any fun unless he was alive. Luke chuckles and then says he wants to be cremated and then everyone can have a drink on him and listen to Sinatra music. Bobbie comes in and tells them that it's time for surgery.

Homecomings.

Skye visits Luke at the hospital to try to convince him to have the bypass surgery. He says he's already been ripped open and it really sucks. After Skye leaves, Lucky shows up and promises not to try to browbeat him. Luke explains that he's not afraid; he just hates feeling helpless against an invisible stalker. Lucky says that this particular fight comes from within and the surgery is the first punch. Lulu arrives and asks if she heard them right and that Luke might not have the surgery. She angrily says that Emily and Georgie were murdered and she is not going to let him give his life up. She gets terribly upset as she asks Luke if any of them matter to him at all. Finally Luke admits that he is selfish to the bone. "I'll have the surgery," he tells his little girl as she rushes into his arms.

Disco's Back?

Luke has "landed" himself a spot on the sofa wearing a cardigan in Laura's house. Skye is there too, and she helps to explain what he's found himself in the middle of. First two quarreling kids - a girl named Laura, and her brother Scottie -- burst into the room. Then, a very pregnant Lulu comes down the stairs carrying a baby (His name is "Baldwin" and Luke quickly learns that he has a sensitive digestive tract). Logan is right behind her and so is a white standard poodle named "Whizzer" who promptly lives up to his name. Lulu tells her kids to stop fighting or they'll scare Grandpa Luke away. Lulu hands the baby over to Luke and says that she and Logan are off to Lamaze class and then it's "date night."

Back in Luke's little version of Hell, he has just got the baby to sleep when granddaughter Laura loudly proclaims that she'd rather have her other grandpa baby sit! Skye explains that Scott is now an international gaming entrepreneur with casinos all over the world and has little time for the kids. Scott shows up and informs Luke that he and his woman are leaving town. Guess who the woman is? Tracy. She comes in and tells Luke that she was only a cash flow to him anyway. Scott informs Luke that his alimony check is late, by the way. Then Scott asks Luke if he has a message for Holly - because he's having a "little fun" with her on the side. After Tracy and Scott jet off to the Bahamas, Luke tells Skye that he has to do something! He giddily finds a Cuban cigar box and says there is a God! He can't find a light though, which is ironic since he's in hell. Then a bottle of scotch appears, but nothing comes out. He says that all of this is happening just because he chose the wrong surgeon! Skye tells him he was on this path long before his heart gave out. She asks if he would live his life any differently if he knew what he knows now? "My life was heaven!" he insists. Skye turns and walks out on him. Suddenly, he wakes up in the recovery room and the first person he sees is Skye. He's a little confused but then he sees Tracy. He says that he feels like he's been to hell and back.

Hang On Luke!

Bobbie brings Lulu into see her father and explains that Luke needs his bypass tonight. They run into Skye and fill her in, too. Bobbie shores them up and tells them that they need to convince Luke to be a positive thinker - which is very uncharacteristic of him. Lulu runs off to find Lucky and tells her Aunt Bobbie not to let them start without her and Lucky. Skye tells Bobbie to assure her that Luke will be fine, but Bobbie fights back tears when she says how scared she is. "I can only imagine what kind of shape his heart is in," she says. She goes in and sits with Luke and tells him that she won't be in the OR this time - it's too close to home for her. Besides, Luke and Lulu need her, she says. She says that she believes Monica is up to the task or she'd be out looking for Leo herself. Luke asks her if she thinks he can make it through the surgery and she says that after the life he's lead, a quadruple bypass is nothing. She leans in for a big hug and then walks out. Skye comes in and Luke is happy to see his "Blaze". She tells him that he's not allowed to die and he asks what's in it for him? She seductively moves in and whispers in his ear that he'll have to wait and see.

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.

In the OR, Luke is trying to invite Epiphany back to his back to his place to spin some "33's" as he starts to go under. After he's down, Monica comes in and looks around at her staff. Then, she sees Emily -- all scrubbed in and ready to assist. Monica freezes and Eppy tells her to do something or they will lose the patient! From Luke's point of view, everything goes white and Skye comes to him. He sees her and says that there is heaven after all. Skye tells him that that's not where he's going at all. Suddenly Luke is thrown back into life, but he's dressed like an old man in a cardigan and sitting in by a fireplace.
