Thursday, July 03 2008: Fireworks of the not-so-pretty kind.

Claudia is at Carly's house asking for a favor. She is shut down cold, but Carly is curious. Claudia explains that her father threatened Alexis and her daughter and now Jerry is using Johnny to keep Anthony in check. She says that everyone needs to step away from the brink and if Jerry would only back off it would help. Carly says that Jerry doesn't listen to anyone, but she sympathizes with Claudia's predicament because no one should lose someone they love.

Claudia meets Jerry on the water front. He wants assurances that he'll stay alive and in turn he'll keep her secret. He says that she will tell her daddy that she and her brother were responsible for Michael Corinthos. That way, if Anthony kills him he'll know that his precious offspring will be exposed. Claudia asks for 24 hours to fix this and Jerry agrees.

Claudia goes to her father's room at The Metro Court to talk. She tells him not to kill Jerry Jacks or else Johnny will end up dead. Anthony wants details and she timidly says that she was involved in Michael Corinthos' shooting. He is enraged that she would put her own brother's life at risk and calls her a tramp! He says that he knows it better than anyone. Her lips turn white as she says that she was only a little girl and he was the adult!

Wednesday, July 02 2008: Spinelli Hatches a New Plan.

It's a new day, but Johnny's stuck on the same subject. He badgers Claudia to find out if she told anyone else that she hired the hit on Sonny that backfired so horribly for Michael. He tells Claudia that he trusts her, but not her methods. She admits that she has screwed up and now Nikolas Cassidine knows, too. Claudia assures him that if Nikolas causes them problems they can kill him. Johnny isn't happy to knock off his girlfriend's brother. Claudia says that Nik had some bad experiences with Devlin and isn't exactly clean either, so maybe won't judge them for what they did. She says that Nikolas knows that she didn't mean for the boy to get hurt.

Luckily for Sonny, Jason has been sidetracked on his way to the office. Claudia finds him and asks if they can talk. Jason says he's busy but she can come by tomorrow if she has to. She demands that he at least thank her for helping take care of him and Spinelli when they were quarantined. Jason nods, thanks her and walks away.

Carly is surprised to find Claudia at her door. Carly assumes that she wants to talk about her brother and Lulu, so she lets her in. Claudia tells Carly to rethink her support of Lulu's relationship because she is a giant pawn in a game right now. She reminds Carly of the time she found her standing next to her son Michael's bed. She says that she was thinking that it could've been Johnny. She proceeds to tell Carly how damaged Johnny is from his childhood and she is just trying to protect him. She asks Carly for her help.
