That Didn't Take Long.

Out at the Zacchara house, Ric, Johnny, Trevor and Anthony are strategizing about how to proceed given the new hierarchy in town. Johnny suggests that the truce is already in place and Jason will honor it. Ric tells him he's not thinking clearly due to his relationship with Lulu and they should hit Jason now. He says that Jason isn't a natural leader and he always ends up turning to Sonny; therefore they should dismantle the organization now so Sonny doesn't have anything to come back to. Johnny warns his father not to let Ric push his own agenda here. Trevor brings up Liz's name and asks if she is someone they can use against Jason. Ric is not at all pleased and covers quickly by saying that Liz's son turned out to be Lucky's so she's not leverage at all.

As Team Zacchara continues to argue about strategy, Trevor receives a phone call. Then he announces that a Corinthos cargo ship just exploded. "Imagine that!" Anthony feigns surprise. He tells Ric that although he had it planned all along, he did appreciate the spirited debate. Trevor isn't happy too see that Anthony listened to Ric's advice. Anthony says what Jason does in the next few hours will tell them a lot about what kind of leader he's going to be.

Sonny Signs the Papers.

Out at the Zacchara mansion Anthony asks Johnny where his sister is hiding and Johnny replies that she called and is fine. Trevor shows up and says that it's time to send her back to Italy. Johnny asserts that they need to trust her as much as they trust him. He storms off and Anthony assures Trevor that Claudia won't be a problem for long. Soon Ric comes by and Anthony reminds him that he is supposed to be handling Claudia. He reminds Ric that his job is to manipulate her into siding with him and betraying her brother. That way, he says, Johnny's only ally will be his dear, old dad.

Jason barges into a Zacchara meeting and tells Trevor, Ric, Johnny and Anthony that from now on he'll be in charge of Sonny's territory.

Jason Plays Let's Make a Deal.

When Trevor and Johnny meet up with Anthony, Trevor immediately rats on Johnny for hooking up with Lulu in the tool shed. Anthony laughs and says that Miss Spencer might be becoming a problem. Johnny offers to stop seeing her if Anthony thinks it's getting in the way of their business. Anthony sends Trevor away so he can talk with his son privately. He tells Johnny that he'll leave Lulu alone as long as he's a good son. However, if he ever suspects that Johnny has turned on him Lulu will pay the price.

Sonny Is Finally Ready to Make a Change.

Anthony and Trevor are making their way to Anthony's office and Anthony is furious with Trevor for getting rid of Luke so soon. He says that now they have no leverage over Lulu. They open the door to the office and find little Miss Spencer waiting for them. Lulu curtly tells them that she and Johnny are through. Anthony tells her to rethink that and that if she doesn't follow the rules her family will pay the price. He tells Lulu to convince Johnny that she loves him or his brother the cop will die in the line of duty. After she leaves in disgust, Trevor tells Anthony to take her out now. Anthony says Johnny is attached to her and his son gets what he wants.

Departures.

Out at the Zacchara mansion, Johnny demands to know what Anthony has done to her and Anthony assures him that he did nothing, but if he finds out someone hurt his daughter he'll kill them. Jerry is announced and steps into the study with a friendly smile on his face. He says he'd like to discuss business and suggests that perhaps Claudia could join them? Anthony says that's not possible, so Jerry gets right down to it. He wants to lease the cannery piers but Johnny doesn't want to discuss it. He has Jerry taken out and then asks Anthony one more time where Claudia is. When Anthony claims to know nothing, Johnny goes to look into it himself.

It's Like Valentine's Day, Only Different.

Out at the Zacchara mansion, Anthony tells Johnny that he wants him and Claudia to stay home tonight because a storm is coming. Johnny says he's not going anywhere, but he doesn't know his sister's plans. AZ tells Johnny that he knows Claudia hired the shooter to take out Corinthos and that was sloppy. Johnny denies it, so AZ decides to call it "one hell of a coincidence" because Ian Devlin has been to the house twice. Johnny explains that the doctor just wanted to hit on Claudia that's all. Trevor walks in and AZ asks if there's any proof that Claudia was behind the shooting of Sonny's brat? Trevor, happy to have the chance to incriminate Claudia, says that he thinks Anthony is correct. Johnny warns his father not to fall for Trevor's lies and Anthony tells him that the time will come when he might want to protect someone even more than his sister.

After Johnny leaves the room, Trevor tells Anthony that Devlin could've acted on his own and advises him to let it go. Then they talk about how to keep Johnny under their control and Anthony says he grows weary of always threatening his daughter to do so. "Enter Lulu Spencer," Trevor says and they clink glasses.

A Heartbreaking Move.

Out at the Zacchara mansion Claudia tells Johnny that they should convince Jason that their dad is the one who had Michael shot. That way, Jason will take care of Anthony so they don't have to. Johnny whispers that he thinks they should distance themselves from the shooting because with Devlin dead, they are the only two people who know they were involved. Just then, Jerry arrives and Claudia's eyes fly wide open. Jerry quickly tells a story about how he kissed Claudia on the waterfront and perhaps he was wrong in assuming the feeling was mutual. The cover continues as Ric wheels Anthony in. Jerry switches to business mode and says that he's come to talk about the Alcazar piers. He says that he's planning an import business and would like to arrange to use them. Anthony tells him to go to Sonny instead, but Jerry expresses his desire to work with the Zaccharas. Ric walks Jerry out and tells him to stay away from Alexis and his daughter now that he's going back into dirty business. Jerry tells Ric that he's in the same boat now.
