===========================================================================

At GH, Stef and Alexis wonder where Nik went. Stef says he's going to give
Veronica Bowles of WLPC a statement about the drug theft. Alexis voices her
concerns about naming Bobbie as the thief. Stef says it may not come to
that...it depends on the Bulwark herself. Bobbie comes up and she and Stef
tangle. He says he won't give her the $6-million he promised because she tried
to poison him. He has a paper for Bobbie to sign, turning back the $6 mil.
She refuses to sign unless he gives Audrey a signed statement that the drug
theft wasn't a theft at all but merely a miscount during inventory and that
the investigation has been dropped. During his press conference, Stef
announces that the Cassadines are donating $6-mil to GH for a drug
rehabilitation center.

At Katherine's apartment, she and Nik are wrangling about his calling Unkie
Stef to let him know Nik is safe. Nik doesn't want to confront Unk just yet
but Katherine says it's cruel not to let Stef know that Nik is okay. She
says that if he doesn't contact Stef by the end of the day she will call
and tell him Nik is at her place. Nik reluctantly agrees that's fair. She
leaves for her office at GH and he goes out and ends up at Kelly's, where
he shares a grilled cheese sandwich with Sarah. Nik learns that Lucky has
gone to Switzerland for a week; he and Sarah plan to go shopping for toys for
little Lulu. At GH, Katherine runs into Bobbie who wants to have an intimate
talk with her to warn her that Stef is a sneaky so-and-so.  Later on, Nick
returns to Katherine's apartment to change clothes. He answers a knock at the
door and there's Unkie Stef, hovering on the threshold.

At the Quartermaine manse, Ned is full of remorse over Jason. He and Monica
blat on to each other about guilt over the kid. Then Ned takes Monica, Emily
and Lila to visit Jason. While at GH he and Alexis confirm another dinner date.
When Emily gets to see Jason alone, he tries to get up and leave the hospital.
He falls down, ripping some sutures. Emily sees the blood and freaks out when
she has flashbacks of the death of Dr Dorman, blood on Monica's clothing, etc.

On the road, Sonny and Brenda (surely, two of the most boring and unbelievable
fugitives every conceived) manage to hide out in a truck heading south to
Florida.

Jax is at the airport, getting ready to fly to Florida and pursue the lead on
the match book. Officer Ardanowski is on his trail and "forbids" him to take
the plane up. He ignores her, she stows on board, and the two of them find
themselves flying south.
