** Will Bobbie Ever Learn the Truth about Carly
Luke comes to the Brownstone with news about Carly being Bobbie's
daughter.  Before he can say anything, Bobbie tells him about her
finding Tony and Carly together at the cabin.

Meanwhile at the cabin, Tony gets new tires for the car and tells
Carly that he has to go back to see Bobbie.  Carly begs him not to go,
but Tony tells her he has to.  He has commitments, and he can't just
pick up and change he life like she did.  She tells him she'll do
whatever it takes to not lose him.  He replies that she should let him
to what he need to do.  She tells him she can't go back to her room at
Kelly's and asks to stay at the cabin.  Tony says he'll be back in the
morning to pick her up.

Bobbie tells Luke about the things Carly said to her, about her
affairs and how Tony was happy in bed with her.  Bobbie wonders if
Carly might have been the one who called her about the lights in the
cabin so that she would come up and find the two of them there.  Luke
pumps Bobbie for more information about Carly and asks if Carly would
have been getting revenge on her.  Bobbie isn't sure and wonders why
Carly would do this to her.  "I treated her like a little sister; like
a daughter," says Bobbie.

Bobbie continues to cry on Luke's shoulder.  She thought that Tony
wanted to make their marriage work and that he still loved her.
Bobbie replays how Carly made her way into their lives.  She related
the birthday fiasco again and when she found Tony and Carly together
when she came home a day early from the Spa.  Bobbie believes the
reason she let Carly get to her is because she reminded her of the
daughter she gave up.  Suddenly Bobbie asks Luke if he has any news on
Caroline.  Because of what has happened, Luke tells Bobbie that he's
very sorry, but Caroline is dead.  Using the story of the real Carly
Roberts, Luke explains that Caroling was killed in a car accident in
high school.  However, Bobbie refused to believe Luke saying that
Virginia Benson told her she got a phone call from Caroline so she
couldn't be dead.  Luke says that Virginia is not living in reality.
He makes up a story about talking to the neighbors and school
officials.  Luke continues that after Caroline's death, Virginia went
crazy.  Luke again says he's sorry, but it's better this way.  Bobbie
feels that now she's lost everything, but Luke disagrees.  He says
she's lost a lot, but not everything.  He continues that she's the
strongest woman he knows.  She tells him first she lost BJ, and now
her other daughter too.  As she says this, Tony walks in and asks
"What other daughter, Bobbie?"

Tony wants to know about this other daughter.  Bobbie explains to him
that she had a child when she was 16 that she gave up for adoption.
Luke advises Tony not to pursue this subject.  Tony suggest that Luke
leave, but he will only if Bobbie says it's okay.  She assures him
that she's okay, and he says he'll be back in the morning.  Tony
realizes that Bobbie's big secret was this daughter.  Bobbie tells
Tony not to use this as an excuse for what he did, and he assures her
he's not.  Tony asks how the subject of her daughter came up and
Bobbie answers that Luke found out today that she's dead.

Bobbie tells Tony that she doesn't want him at the Brownstone.  She
asks him to go away and he says he can't.  He wants to talk, but
Bobbie does not.  Tony tells her that he can't leave her alone after
everything that has happened.  He is very sorry about her daughter and
what happened tonight.  Bobbie doesn't believe him since he wasn't
with her on BJ's birthday and their anniversary.  She calls him a
hypocrite to which Tony replies that she's been lying to him since
they met.  He agrees that he did push her away for a few months, but
she held him away for years.  He asks, "do you know how lonely I've
been?  Do you even care?"

Back at the cabin, there's a knock at the door.  Carly rushes to open
it thinking it's Tony, but she opens the door to find Luke.

** Like Uncle, Like Nephew
Laura and Stephan are both at the hospital and make an agreement to
start over.  Nicholas joins them and says he wants to work at the
hospital.  He wants to help the sick children.  He thinks he could be
useful as he saw a need when he was visiting Lesley Lu.  He doesn't
expect to be paid and thinks it could help repair the Cassadine family
reputation.  "You've got it all figured out, haven't you.," says
Laura.

Laura thanks Stephan for the loan and he and Nicholas leave.  Waiting
for the elevator, Nicholas is laughing and tells Stephan that he's
learned the lessons he's been taught very well.  Someday he'll be as
good as Stephan.

Monica comes over to Laura and asks if she's okay.  She wonders what
Laura is doing at the hospital at such a late hour.  Laura replies,
"Having second thoughts."  "About what," Monica asks.  "Selling my
soul to the devil to save this hospital," says Laura.

Laura tells Monica the story about her having to say goodbye to
Nicholas.  She goes on to say that she believes Stephan created the
situation at GH just so he could come to the rescue.  Monica tells her
she sounds like Luke.  Laura doesn't think that Stephan ever planned
to leave, and she wonders how she's going to explain Stephan, the
hero, to Luke and Lucky.  Laura also tells Monica that she believes
Nicholas is basically a good person, but he does have a devious side
like his father and Uncle.

Back at Wyndemere, Nicholas tells Stephan that he thought he was
brilliant tonight, but really did mean what he said about helping sick
children.  Stephan explains to Nicholas that he was using his power
tonight and was sure that Laura noticed.

It's now late and Nicholas goes to bed.  Stephan stays up and tells
him he has something to do on the computer.  Timoria appears on the
screen.

** The Past Will Come Back to Haunt You
Ned pays Sonny a visit.  He pumps him for information about the
problem between Sonny and Jax.  Sonny figures Ned out and doesn't say
anything.  Then Ned tells Sonny about Brenda and Jax's upcoming
wedding.

At the penthouse, Jax calls home and talks to his father.  He tells
him he has some news and Dad jumps to the conclusion that they're
going to have a baby.  Jax tells him he's wrong and tells him about
the wedding.  "Maybe now you'll finally be able to let the other go,"
Dad responds.  "It's a big step for you."

Dad and Lady Jane are proud that their son is moving on with his life.
 Jax is concerned that sometimes the past can follow you, but Dad
assures him that it won't if he doesn't let it.  Jax hangs up the
phone and picks up the yacht figurine and stares at it.

From their conversation, Sonny surmises that Ned wants him to take
care of Jax.  Ned confirms that he doesn't want Jax on the ELQ Board,
and that if something were to happen to force Jax to resign, like a
skeleton from the past, he wouldn't lose any sleep over it.  Ned goes
to leave and thanks Sonny for "hearing him out."  Before he goes,
Sonny stops him and asks about Lois and if Brook Lyn has made an
appearance.  Ned walks off without answering.  Sonny then recalls a
past conversation with Mac where Mac told him that Jax was bad news.
