THE BOARD MEETING:

Skye tells Sonny that she has Tracey's proxy. A fight begins. Edward tells the family that if ELQ goes public, a coporate raider like Jax, will pick the company to pieces. Edward then begs the family to vote with him in order to spare Lila's feelings. Lila comes into the room and asks what Edward has done now. Skye covers for her grandfather once more. Monica then tells Skye that she didn't do her homework very well and that she (Monica) holds the swing vote. Both AJ and Alan plead with Monica to vote with Skye. Monica considers it and decides that she needs to start siding with her husband and son and votes with Skye. A pleased Jax excuses himself so he may make some phone calls. Edward gets mad and tells them all that they have made a huge mistake. That Skye will get rich and all of them will end up suffering. He then turns on AJ and reminds him of what he did to Jason (the car accident) and how he ruined the Quartermaines' chances of ever getting to really know Michael. Meanwhile out in the hallway, Jax tells someone on the phone that he now has control of 51% of ELQ. Skye walks out and the two start to chit chat till Sonny comes out of the board room. He tells Jax that he made a huge mistake, that not only will he have to deal with the Quartermaines but he will also have to deal with Skye and that he used his charm on Skye to get what he wanted. After Sonny leaves, Jax asks Skye why she gave him so much control over ELQ. Skye tells him it's because she is ruthless like him. Jax asks her what he can do for her and Skye tells him that she wants a job at ELQ.

GIRL TALK:

Alexis comes home to tell Sonny that Carly signed the adoption papers but he isn't home. She goes to her penthouse to find herself alone. Just then Felicia shows up wanting legal advice on a case she is working on. Her and Alexis start to talk about how neither one of them has had a date in a long time. Then they start to talk about how much they miss Chloe while eating fat free yogurt. Felicia admits that she knew that she could never have Luke for herself but her heart took a while to believe it. They then discuss their "relationships" with Ned and Mac. Felicia leaves just as Sonny is showing up. Alexis tells him the good news. Sonny leaves to go see if Carly is really okay with all of it.

LUKE'S GAME:

Laura is mad and upset that Luke tricked her onto the cruise. She decides that she is going to get him back. She plays along as Luke tells her that she did a great job at catching "Cupid" and finding the microchip. Laura asks Luke if they are really safe with Cupid on the ship. Luke tells her that they are and they decide to celebrate with champaign. Laura excuses herself so she can freshen up. When Luke goes to tell her that their drinks and snacks are there, he can't find her. Then someone slips a note under his door from Laura saying that they got her. Luke goes searching for her all over the ship and bumps into Cupid and his lady friend. They say that they saw her talking to a man with a scar on his face. Luke spots the man and follows him. He sneaks into a room and catches Laura playing poker and drinking beer with some of the ship's workers.

LUCKY'S "PEP" TALK:

Zander then comes over and tells Lucky that he talked to Emily. Lucky admits that he knew about Em's new love but wanted Em to tell Zander herself. Zander then says that love doesn't happen for people like him. Lucky tells him that if him and Liz can make it through her faking her death and the trouble Helena gave them, that Zander and Em can make it through this too. Zander doesn't believe him and leaves. Lucky goes up to his room to find someone sleeping in it. He thinks it's Katlin and tells her nice try. The girl then rolls over and it's Liz. Lucky stands there with a shocked look on his face.
