Fatherhood Isn't Easy.

Mac and Lainey go into the interrogation room and ask Jason what he's doing there with Liz. Jason argues with Mac for wanting to ask Liz more questions and then Liz asks Lainey what's with all the questions? Lainey gently explains that Liz has just had a baby and could be suffering from Post Partum Depression. Liz becomes angry and declares that they are wasting time! Lucky comes in and defends Mac and Lainey's position to an irate Elizabeth. Jason shouts to Lucky, "If you can't support Elizabeth, then get the hell out!" Mac says that since Elizabeth was the last to see the baby, this line of questioning is standard procedure. He says that since the baby was snatched so quickly, it doesn't sound like "an impulse grab." He explains that someone they know may have been following her and waiting for the chance to strike.

Everyone Has a Theory.

Spinelli is frantic as he races to the PCPD and demands that he speak with Jason Morgan on a family emergency. He says that Liz Spencer's baby was kidnapped and Coop asks what that has to do with Jason. Spinelli says that Jason has been a Spencer family friend and helped make sure that the baby came into the world safely. As he urgently speaks to Coop, Lucky and Liz arrives. Lucky jumps down Spinelli's throat for being involved with his son's case. He says that Jake is his son and HE will find him. Liz breaks down and Lainey comes to take her statement - at Mac's request.

Liz is crying as she tells Lainey that she turned around long enough to tie Cam's shoe. She doesn't understand why everyone is questioning her. When they get Lucky alone for a minute, Mac and Lainey tell Lucky that "Elizabeth wouldn't be the first mother with post partum depression to…do something to her own baby."

Amelia Tells Jason Everything.

The group at Jake's are pouring tequila shots and talking about babies. Robin admits that she loves holding and smelling them. She says that she always wanted to be a mother until she learned that she was HIV positive. She says that things have changed and now she can consider it. Someday -- but not now. So "everybody" can relax she says in Patrick's general direction. Patrick tells everyone that he's selfish, or too much of a kid himself, but he doesn't want to be a dad. Kelly slurs that Robin can choose be a mother all on her own - thanks to the advances in her own profession! Stan pipes up that a mother raising a child on her own isn't easy. Robin makes a toast Uncle Mac - who raised her single handedly. Patrick says that he was raised by his dad who focused on work only and they all had a good laugh because now Patrick has turned out the same way. They ask Coleman who raised him and he said that he had 5 daddies. Lainey asks Stan what it was like to be raised by Epiphany. He says that he loves his mama, but he knows that a father would've made a huge difference for him. Lainey says it's unfair for a woman to give up being a mother just because she's with a guy who doesn't want children. Stan says that if they listened to his mother he'd be dating Lainey. They all have a good laugh at that one and keep on pouring toasts. Robin walks over to Patrick's side of the bar and puts her arm around him. He recalls how "Sweet Little Miss Scorpio" changed his mind about commitments, but it stops there. Lainey tells them that she is hailing them a cap so that they can continue their conversation at home, and then she pushes them out the door.

Motherhood.

Lainey and Kelly run into Robin in the doctor's lounge. They ask her why she would talk about babies in front of a man who is petrified of commitment? Lainey says that she saw a look of sheer terror on Patrick's face. Robin says that she saw it too, and Patrick is probably on his way to Vegas by now. Kelly says that she gets enough of babies at work and is the rare woman who doesn't want children. She tells the girls to sign out and put on some lipstick because they have someplace to be.

Patrick has bellied up to Jake's bar and is joined by Stan. They immediately start to complain about women and motherhood in general. Coleman pours a shot on the house. Patrick and Stan don't get why woman can't just be in love without diapers and cul de sacs. Stan says that women are like a computer virus. They attract, open and destroy. Patrick tells Stan that he never wants to be a dad and then turns to see that Robin and the girls have just arrived. Robin tells them to carry on with their conversation. Patrick says that they were just saying that all men aren't cut out to be fathers, that's all. Lainey asks Coleman for some tequila. All five of them pour a shot and Robin makes a toast "To having the freedom to be how you truly are." They all drink to that. Lee tells Patrick not to assume that all women want kids because she doesn't. She says that when she sees her future there's not a baby in it. Stan says that most women are just like Robin, waiting to convert her man into a dad. (Patrick snorts tequila out of his nose over this one.)

"Luke Raped Laura."

The judge tells everyone in the court room that he wants to take his time to consider the case carefully. In the meantime, Laura will remain a ward of the court. As they all stand to leave, Leslie tells Scott that he must be so proud of the way he finally got Luke and devastated Lulu in the process. She tells him that she will never forgive him and then leaves. Lainey tells Emily that when Lulu's ready, she should come talk to her and suggests that Nikolas could use help with anger management. Nikolas thanks Alexis for trying to help and then apologizes the Luke. Luke sadly tells him that he just told the truth. He says that Scott's been waiting 25 years to play the victimized and dumped husband and today he got his chance. Bobbie approaches Scott and says that since Laura isn't able to do it herself, she will - and then she smacks him in the face! Eventually only Luke and Tracy remain in the courtroom. She tells him that he needs to go find his daughter and help put her back together.

Laura's Custody Hearing Begins.

As the custody hearing gets underway, Alexis questions Lainey about Laura's state of mind when she "came back". Lainey says that she spent time with Luke and her family and made a conscious decision when she chose her eldest son as her guardian. Scott asks Lainey to read Laura's report from when she first slipped into catatonia a few years ago. Lainey is forced to read that Laura screamed at the sight of Luke and that it was partly due to his "badgering" that she slipped away in the first place. Next, Alexis asks Nikolas how he feels about his responsibilities toward Laura. He says that he is honored to be her guardian. Scott asks him if he knows of a time that Luke abused Laura. Nikolas says that Laura never told him anything of the sort. Scott asks if Nikolas knows about what happened on Oct 5, 1979, at the Campus Disco. The judge allows the question and Nikolas is forced to say, "There was a rape." Scott made him say it again and just as Lulu walks into the court room, Nikolas clarifies, "Luke raped Laura."

Maxi Sheds Some Light.

Stan and Sonny are talking in Sonny's office. Sonny says that he's going to use the hotel labor negotiations to buy time so that Carly can come to the realization that she doesn't want a divorce. Just then Lainey arrives for Sonny's scheduled therapy session. Sonny tries to blow her off because he has business with Stan, but she insists that she is the one with the appointment. Stan leaves and tells Sonny to call him when he's done with "the dictator." In his session with Dr. Winters, Sonny says that he just needs time to show Carly that they belong together. Lainey thinks that he has too much work to do on himself before he considers making a future with Carly. His little issue with forgiveness, for starters. He tells his shrink that Carly just slept with Jax, and asks how's that for forgiveness? Lainey asks if he can deal with it if his marriage does end in divorce.

Stan goes to the hospital to visit his mother (Epiphany). She asks him if he had anything to do with the cop shooting today. He says that he was in Sonny's office this morning and none of "Sonny's people" had anything to do with it. Epiphany chaffs at the term "Sonny's people" and asks him if that's what he is wasting his brilliant mind on. Dr. Winters approaches the nurse's desk and Stan gets some attitude and leaves.
