Johnny jumps in and tells him Sonny took a brain damaged Jason and turned him into an enforcer and it’s wrong. Michael asks Jason if he had to do it over again, would he choose a different life? Jason wouldn’t change his decision, but says once Michael gets well he can do anything, but it was different for him. Jason hopes he understands someday, but even if he doesn’t he has to stop Michael from ruining his life because he will never fail him again.
Kristina asks Dominic to pretend he didn’t see her, but he needs her to get him some supplies and a hot dog because he’s starving. She can do the supplies and he asks for the keys to a car. He says if she’s not up for it, she can just leave and he’ll pretend he never saw her. Kristina agrees to help and leaves the room.
Claudia and Alexis continue to argue over the kids and Sonny comes in. Alexis tells Sonny about Jake’s, but he doesn't have a problem with that if the kids weren’t drinking.

Robin returns, as Ric says he is leaving Port Charles because he got an offer he couldn’t refuse. After everyone else leaves, Patrick and Robin set out to solve the case.

They talk about Michael’s living arrangements and Carly says they have to come up with a solution that doesn't involve sending him away to school.
Kristina stands at the top of the stairs and hears Alexis and Sonny talking about Michael.

She wants Kristina to have a better life than Michael and if Sonny loved her, he’d want that too.

Sonny thinks it's a miracle Michael came back to him and he will have a better life than he had whether he likes it or not.
As Maxie and Spinelli talk about their relationship, Robin and Patrick interrupt to talk about the case. Spinelli tells them he hacked into Brianna’s bank account and that she was receiving money transfers of over $100,000 from the mayor’s private account over the last three months. They think she was blackmailing him, which is a good motive for murder. Robin wants to bring the info to Mac, but Maxie thinks Spinelli will get in trouble for hacking into the bank’s files. They also think Patrick and Robin could be named as accessories to murder since they didn’t call the cops the night they found Brianna in the hotel.
In Alexis’ office, Diane tells her friend Ric is leaving town. Alexis is surprised by the news and thinks Molly will be heartbroken.
At the hospital, Ric meets Claudia and tells her he’s leaving. Claudia is happy, and he tells her he’s going to Los Angeles to do some interesting and legal work.
