Father of the Year. (Not).

Trevor pays Amelia a visit on the set of "Everyday Heroes". He introduces himself and says that a mutual friend of theirs, Brandon the network exec, suggested that she help him to control the spin on a story that's about to leak. He suggests that they cover Kate Howard's arrest for DUI and Amelia wants no part of such a gossipy story. Sam shows up and is surprised to see him there. She and Trevor reach out and hold each other's hand in a greeting. When Trevor explains that he's there so that they can get in bed together -- so to speak -- Sam supports the idea of a show about drunk driving using Kate's arrest as a tie-in. Amelia doesn't like it.

Trevor has left the TV set and Amelia has begrudgingly put into motion the plan to do the DUI show he suggested. Amelia tells Sam that it's obvious that she wants to take Ric's dad out for a test drive. Maxi arrives and Amelia jumps on her for a late dress delivery. Sam tells Amelia to beat it so that she and Maxi can talk.

Back on the TV set, Amelia has handed Sam a script for the DUI segment and Sam says that it's weak. Amelia says, "Look who thinks she has her finger on the pulse." Lucky arrives and asks Sam how she thinks she can help. Sam says that tonight's show can be shelved and they can run an appeal to Lulu insead. Amelia says that they are NOT going to change the show for tonight and Sam insists that they are.

Trevor Gives Ric An Ultimatum!

Back at the Metro Court, Amelia notices Elizabeth and Emily across the room and invites them to join she and Lucky. Liz turns down the offer but Lucky stops her, asking why she is there. Emily steps in, tells Lucky that they met for drinks and apologizes for running into him. She and Elizabeth leave. Amelia asks him if he is sleeping with Sam and Lucky clams up. She leaves to return to the station to go over the safety measures for Sam with security. Across the room, Emily asks Liz about Lucky. Liz wonders if their marriage is worth saving! Emily reminds Liz that Lucky was part of the problem, too.

Jason goes home and gives Spinellie new orders - to keep Sam away from Liz! Spinelli leaves. Amelia arrives, telling Jason about Lucky's new business venture with Sam. She tells him to be prepared to comfort Liz! Jason thanks Amelia for the information but tells her to back off. Then he asks her to keep the secret about Jake - forever. She promises but warns him Sam won't keep quiet for long and will use Jake to get to him. She leaves.

Jerry Kills Irina.

Lucky and Sam go to the Metro Court to check out security there. They run into Amelia and she asks what's going on. Sam says that since Amelia is going to be paying for it, she might as well know that Lucky is her new body guard. Amelia immediately smiles and says, "You didn't waste any time, did you?" She turns to Lucky and admits that she and Sam despise each other but ratings are good so they keep the status quo. Lucky says that in that case, he needs to keep his eye on her as well. He asks if she arranged for the thugs in the park to threaten Liz so that Sam could be a hero and Amelia says that she'd never put children in danger. Lucky suggests that if she hates Sam so much, she could find a new star. Amelia says, "Recasting is a lot of trouble and it usually ends in disaster."

Much to Lucky's dismay, Sam goes home without a guard. Lucky and Amelia decide to get a table so they can talk about the security at the "Everyday Heroes" set. Amelia promptly tells Lucky that Sam is out to sleep with him to get even with Liz.

Is Patrick going to be a Daddy?

In the courtroom, the county coroner has just testified that he didn't do an autopsy on Lorenzo Alcazar. Next Mac takes the stand and Diane points out that the PCPD has brought Jason in for arrest on 32 separate occasions, yet he's never once been convicted of anything. "Jason Morgan can afford to hire high-priced attorneys like yourself," Mac counters. Diane suggests that Ric Lansing has been out to get Jason for years and this trial is more of the same. Next Lorenzo's recent bank records become the issue at hand, and after that, it's Amelia's turn on the stand as Diane's witness. She recounts a conversation with Ric in which he admits that this case against Jason is personal. "Mr. Lansing said that he wanted to be the one to send Jason to prison and that he wanted to document every step for publicity," Amelia continues. Finally, both attorneys address the jury and make their respective closing arguments. They both make a good case.

When Epiphany hears that Jason's case has gone to the jury, she tells Elizabeth to take the rest of the day off and get down to the court house. Liz thanks her, but says that she can't do that to Lucky. Soon, Amelia shows up at the nurse's desk and tells Liz that she should go down to the courthouse to support Jason when the verdict comes in. Liz asks Amelia why she cares so much. Amelia replies that Jason saved her life and she's concerned about him. Again, Liz affirms that she's not going to the courthouse. "The whole town knows that I slept with him, why make it worse by showing up for the verdict?" she tells Amelia.

Sonny is One Persuasive Guy.

Skye is put back on the stand and Diane is able to get her to say that there was no blood or any kind of disturbance in her home the night that Lorenzo disappeared. She also says that Lorenzo disappeared often in order to avoid the dangerous people who he was involved with. Diane asks if Skye has seen any evidence that would prove -- beyond a reasonable doubt -- that Lorenzo is dead. "No," Skye says. Ric isn't pleased. Next, Diane starts to "establish a pattern" by getting Skye to tell the jury about the time that Lorenzo found a woman to act like Sonny's dead wife Lilly. She asks if it's plausible that Lorenzo set up his own death and framed Jason. Skye is allowed to answer, "Knowing Lorenzo, it's not only plausible, but it's entirely possible." Next it's Ric's turn. He makes Skye recall that her relationship with Lorenzo was complicated and that he was a difficult man. He reminds her that Lorenzo had just taken her baby away from her and suggests that perhaps she was the person who let the killer in. Next, Ric calls Amelia to the stand. He wants to know about the night of Jason's transfer when she was caught up in the shootout between Jason and a gunman. "All I know is the defendant saved my life," Amelia says. She is also able to communicate that Jason was acting in self defense. Ric points out that the only reason she was shot at in the first place is because Jason is a mob hetman.
