Scott lies to Bobbie when he tells her he stopped by the forensics lab to pick up a report. When he found it empty, he decided to wait and then just picked up the skull out of idle curiosity. Bobbie seems to buy it and invites him to stop by her place later. When she comments to Luke and Laura will probably still be checking out the lead she gave them on Theresa Carter, Scott is obviously uneasy. Bobbie leaves, after getting beeped and Scott open up a case (so he can switch the skulls?) only to find it is empty�

Liz tells Jason that she doesn�t want to go away from him. Jason tells her it�s best if she just goes and instructs her to take care of herself�

Felicia is checking on immunization records at the hospital when she receives a phone from someone who tells her that Sonny wants her to meet him at the warehouse office that evening to discuss business. Felicia asks if Roy is invited and the person tells her that Sonny thinks the meeting would go smoother without Roy present. Felicia is obviously nervous but agrees to the meeting anyways�

Roy realizes that Alcazar is after Sonny and tells him that he will not do the dirty work for him. Roy tells Alcazar that he doesn�t think they will be able to work together and suggests they end the partnership � no hard feelings. Alcazar tells Roy that he is a great partner but an even better enemy and reminds Roy that he can take his new status away just as quickly as he made it happen in the first place. Alcazar tells Roy to forget his newest purchase and go after a casino in New Jersey. Roy refuses because he knows Sonny has interests there. Alcazar gives Roy a phone and informs him that he has an hour to change his mind. After Alcazar leaves, Roy throws the phone against the wall. Out in the hall, Alcazar places a call and instructs the person to �Do it��
An unidentified person enters the coffee warehouse (man the security sucks at this place!) and places an explosive device amongst the coffee sacks. The man turns the (what we assume to be a) timing device on and ONE red light starts flashing�

Laura asks Theresa to fill in the missing blanks of the night in the attic. Theresa is reluctant; claiming she also has no wish to recall the night in question, and tells her to asks Rick. Luke assures her they don�t want to cause her trouble; they only want to know what Laura is suppressing so that she can move on with her life. Theresa relents and tells Laura about how she harassed Rick and Leslie after Rick tried to end their affair. She tells L&L that on the night in question, she showed up at the Webber house uninvited. Rick agreed to talk to her, but took her up to the garage attic to keep from being seen by Leslie or Laura. She explains that once there she tried to seduce Rick. When he refused she tried to hit him with a heavy object but Laura intervened. What happened next was unclear but Laura was so upset that Rick had to sedate her. Luke asks if that was the last time Theresa saw Laura and Theresa says yes, except that she noticed Laura standing at the attic window a bit later that night when Rick escorted her off the property. Theresa tells them she left town the next day. She asks them to leave before her husband gets home. Laura thanks her for her help and she and Luke leave. Once outside, Laura tells Luke that she is glad it is finally over. Luke asks if she is sure and Laura says that what Theresa told them matched what she remembered, including a new memory of Theresa welding an antique camera as a weapon. Luke hugs her and tells her he is glad everything is over, but it is clear (at least to me) that he does not really believe it�
Luke and Laura return to her office and are surprised to find Rick waiting there. He says he brought a wedding gift. Laura tells him they just spoke to Theresa Carter. Rick asks what she told them, but Luke insists that Rick give Laura his version of that night�s events first. Though we don�t get to hear it, Rick�s memories of the night are the same as Theresa�s. Luke wonders why, if it was something so innocent, Rick didn�t just tell Laura the truth when she first asked. Rick claims that his fatherly instinct drove him to protect Laura from something SHE didn�t want to know or she never would have blocked it out. Luke asks why Scott has also been covering up the events of that night, but Rick tells Luke he�ll have to ask Scott. Laura is happy that everything meshes with her memories, but Luke continues to appear suspicious. Rick is happy the subject will be dropped and leaves, but out in the hall he places a call to �Theresa� and congratulates her on a convincing performance. �Theresa� asks when she will be paid and Rick promises to wire the money immediately�

Sonny tells Alexis that he knows she will be an excellent mother and comments that the baby is lucky to have her. Alexis thanks him for his confidence and Sonny starts to leave. Alexis calls him back and tells him that she has something to say to him. Alexis tells Sonny that although she may not want to be a part of his world anymore she does not consider their friendship wasted time. She tells him that he gave her something she will always cherish � a new understanding, and then quickly starts to walk away. Sonny tries to get her to come back and explain what she meant but Alexis just keeps on going. Sonny tells his driver that he needs to stop at the warehouse on his way home�
The second light on the timing device in the warehouse now lights up and starts to flash�
Sonny arrives at the warehouse closely followed by Liz who tells him she does not want to leave PC. Sonny questions why she is leaving and Liz tells him that Jason ordered Zander to get out of town and she is going with him. Sonny does not reveal to Liz what his real orders where. Liz asks Sonny to give Zander one last chance and promises to keep Zander out of Sonny�s business. Sonny relents and tells Liz he will give Zander one last chance, but if he messes up again Zander will have to deal with the consequences. Sonny tells Liz that the offer is only good if Zander stops working for Roy. Liz thanks Sonny and rushes off to give Zander the news�
In another part of the warehouse, the third light on the timing device starts to flash�

Carly tells Kristina that she has known for a long time that Sonny is the father of Alexis� baby, but is keeping quiet because Alexis wants it that way. Kristina accuses Carly of keeping quiet because Carly knows that if Sonny knew then he would leave her and be with Alexis and the baby. Carly insists that Alexis doesn�t want Sonny to know but Kristina shows her the burnt letter as proof that Alexis does want Sonny to know. Carly tells Kristina to speak to Alexis before doing something that will impact so many lives. Kristina storms out claiming she will find Sonny and tell him about the baby even if it takes her all night. Carly immediately phones Alexis and tells her of Kristina�s plans to seek Sonny out and tell him the truth. Jason enters and overhears that last part of Carly�s conversation and realizes that Carly is keeping something from Sonny. Meanwhile Alexis calls someone named Joe and asks him to help her track Kristina down ASAP. Jason chastises Carly for keeping something from Sonny and warns her she is headed for trouble again. Carly getting defensive and tells Jason that although he may not lie outright, he has on occasion kept quiet and lied by omission. Jason tells Carly that he will no longer help her keep things from Sonny. Carly asks what is wrong and Jason admits that he didn�t do something that Sonny told him to do and now dreads having to tell Sonny that he let him down. Jason wonders how Carly can tell lie after lie, especially to Sonny, when they only lead to trouble. Before she can say anything Sonny enters and asks to speak with Jason alone. Jason hesitantly tells Sonny that he ordered Zander to leave town. Sonny confesses that he already knows and explains about his encounter with Liz. He asks why Jason got �creative� with an order but realizes it was for Liz�s sake. Sonny tells Jason that he agreed to let Zander stay and Jason thanks him for his generosity. Sonny comments that he didn�t do it for Liz but for Jason. Sonny asks Jason to never betray him again and comments that if Zander messes up again he will be dealt with. Later, Sonny tells Carly not to go ANYWHERE without a guard. He instructs her that if anything out of the ordinary happens she should call him immediately. Carly asks what is wrong But Sonny can only tell her that he has a feeling something bad is coming and it will get worse before it gets better�

Zander arrives on the docks but doesn�t see Liz. He calls the studio but gets no answer. The captain of the boat tells Zander that they are about to depart and refuses to wait any longer for Liz to appear. He sternly informs Zander that the ship is sailing with or without him�

Kristina is seen outside the coffee warehouse. Meanwhile inside, the fourth and final light on the timing device starts to flash�

Alexis receives a call from Joe, who tells her that Kristina�s car was seen outside of the coffee warehouse. Alexis thanks him and heads off to intercept her before she does any damage. Roy gets a call from someone (Alcazar?) who tells him that Felicia is on her way to the warehouse but it is a BAD place to be at the moment�

Liz arrives on the docks and finds no sign of Zander. She stands looking out at the water forlornly when Zander suddenly appears behind her. Liz is happy when Zander tells her he couldn�t leave without her. He is a bit annoyed when Liz informs him that she spoke to Sonny and got him a pardon. But he agrees to do what ever she wants so that they can stay together. Jason walks by and is an unhappy observer of Liz and Zander�s happy embrace�

A woman (going by the shoes-which is all we get to see) enters the warehouse. Meanwhile the lights on the timing device start to flash furiously. Roy arrives outside the warehouse and questions the guard who admits that a woman claiming to have an appointment just entered. Roy rushes to the door and reaches it just as an explosion rocks the building. Roy is sent flying backwards from the force of the blast�
