Roy is in the FBI office. He has obtained information on Moreno and passes it along. His boss says that an arrest is in the near future. Roy assumes his job is over. His boss tells him to return to Port Charles because they will be in touch soon.

Luke is outside the brownstone. Laura comes along. They exchange smiles and some nice words. Then she tells him that she has accepted the way things are. She wants a divorce. Luke reminds her of their wedding day when people thought their marriage would end in divorce. Luke thinks those people were wrong because they had a strong marriage for almost twenty years. Laura reminds him that Lulu adores him and encourages him to visit them more often. Luke suggests that she be the one to file for divorce. She starts to cry and thanks him for making this easy. He says this isn't easy. She touches his face. He caresses her hand and kisses it. Laura's tears flow freely as she thanks him. Laura turns to leave, but stops to tell Luke to wish Bobbie well. She blows him a kiss. He catches it. His facial muscles contort as he fights back his tears. Later, Luke is sitting on the steps and Felicia comes out to join him. Luke voices his cynical views on marriage. Felicia tries to put a positive spin on romance and marriage. She convinces him to go inside. As they enter the brownstone, we see Faison emerge from the bushes.


Nikolas walks into Stefan's office, but finds Helena there. She tells him how much she loved his visits. He's the joy of her life. Nikolas asks about her planning Katherine's murder. Stefan comes in and tells Nikolas to leave. When they are alone, Helena asks Stefan how he thinks Nikolas will feel when he finds out Stefan is not his father. Stefan pretends that he doesn't know what Helena means. Helena goes on to explain how she was close to the doctor who changed Nikolas' birth records. She felt she had to make Stefan believe that Nikolas was his son so that he would protect him. Helena threatens to tell Nikolas who his father really is. There is one way her silence can be bought. Stefan must take full responsibility for Katherine's death. Laura interrupts them. Helena leaves, telling Stefan that they must continue their conversation. Alone with Laura, Stefan tells her that Helena wants him to help protect the Cassadine name. He flies into a rage, throwing things onto the floor. He is obviously in emotional agony as he tells Laura that he was only half-alive until he saw her. Since then, he has lived for Laura and their son. Laura tells him that she loves him for the first time. They kiss. In the bedroom, they are surrounded by candles while they kneel on the bed kissing. The sex scene, in my biased opinion, is long and drawn out. The one positive aspect of it was that we got to see Stefan shirtless.

Sonny and Hannah are taking a stroll on the docks. Hannah is still sticking to her story about going on a job interview. She insists that she kept the secret because she didn't want Sonny to use his influence to help her get the job. Later, Sonny talks with Jason. Jason is concerned that Bobbie is about to wed Jerry. Bobbie is his friend and both he and Sonny know what Jerry is up to. Jason remembers Bobbie putting Michael in his arms for the first time.

Jax finds Alexis alone on the docks. She is looking out at Wyndemere and seems ready to cry. Jax gives her a much-needed hug. She explains that she couldn't sleep last night. She wants to tell Nikolas the truth, but still feels deeply for Stefan. Jerry comes along and Jax leaves with him. Nikolas comes along and he and Alexis talk about the Cassadine curse. Alexis blurts out that he is Stavros' son, not Stefan's. She assures him that it's true while he shakes his head in disbelief. Nikolas becomes angry and lashes out at Alexis. She tells him that she has told Stefan and he gets even angrier. She goes off and leaves him alone.

Bobbie is in her room, getting ready for her wedding. She hears Jerry and Lucas outside her door. She calls out to warn Jerry to stay away. She doesn't want bad luck. She lets Lucas come in. He has a present from Jerry - earrings. Carly helps Bobbie get ready. Carly hopes Bobbie will be happy. She deserves it. Bobbie is happy to have Carly by her side. Carly leaves. There's a knock at the door. Roy comes in. He is mesmerized by the sight of Bobbie in her wedding gown. He asks her if she's as happy as she looks. She says "at least." He says he's glad. Carly returns and Roy leaves. Carly gives Bobbie a handkerchief which she embroidered with "Caroline" when she was a little girl. Bobbie is moved to tears. She also gives her a locket engraved with "you are loved." Bobbie tells Carly that she is loved too. They both weep and embrace. When Bobbie is alone again, Luke comes to visit her. He is blown over by how beautiful and happy she looks. He says he doesn't want to get sappy with her but says some warm, encouraging things to her. They hug. Downstairs, Jax, John and Jane are waiting with Jerry for the ceremony to begin. Alexis arrives. Roy watches the Jacks family from the next room. Luke says "last chance, pal." Roy says his last chance was twenty years ago. Luke asks him if he ever thinks "what if?" Roy asks what good that would do. Felicia comes in and Luke compliments her on her dress. Mac comes in and whisks her away. Roy reminds Luke of "what if." Carly thinks that all of the guests have arrived so she announces she is going to get the bride. Upstairs, Bobbie tells Carly that she is putting a penny in her shoe to "cover her bases." Carly starts to say something, but hesitates. She says "never mind, I've said it all." The music plays as Carly walks down the "aisle" and then Bobbie. Bobbie pauses to look at Luke, who is next to Roy. Outside, three feds get ready to go into the brownstone. In the middle of the ceremony, they enter and tell Jerry he's under arrest.

Nikolas enters Stefan's empty office. He is still very upset. Mrs. Lansberry comes in. Nikolas says that he is looking for his father.

Hannah comes into the FBI office. She tells Larkin and her boss that she is close to nailing Corinthos. She is told that she is off the case and someone else is being assigned to it. She objects but to no avail. As she leaves, her boss warns her that if Sonny suddenly disappears, they will know who is responsible. Outside the door, Hannah agonizes over her situation.
