JAIL:
Luke nixes Lucky�s plan to help him escape and convinces him that posing as a police officer is TOO dangerous. Lucky refuses to abandon Luke, but in the end is forced to give into Luke�s wishes. A tense moment occurs when Scott arrives, but Lucky manages to turn his face before Scott realizes it�s him. Luke distracts Scott with insults and gives Lucky time to escape unnoticed. Scott is sure that Luke is planning to escape otherwise he wouldn�t be so calm in the face of a life sentence. Luke tells Scott he is delusional. Both accuse each other of being the reason Laura lost her grip on reality. As Scott leaves, Nik arrives. Once he is alone with Luke, Nik apologizes and tells him he now believes that Luke was only trying to protect Laura. Luke brushes Nik�s doubts off as inconsequential now, but asks Nik to try and keep Lucky from doing anything crazy to get him out of jail. Nik readily agrees. Before Nik goes, Luke does ask him for one favor. Having obtained a pen and paper, Nik is brought to tears as Luke dictates a touching letter to his beloved Laura. In the letter Luke assures Laura that they will manage to get over the latest bump in their rocky road of a life and eventually be together again. Nik looks tearfully up at him, as Luke implores him to give the letter ONLY to Laura. Nik encourages Luke not to give up hope and assures him that Alexis is hard at work on his case. Luke tells Nik that if he loves Laura and truly wants to help her, he needs to convince Alexis to leave his case alone...

LAKE/???:
Jax and Skye sit on an overturned rowboat as they try to reach a new understanding. Jax admits that he does still love her but doesn�t want to be the reason she drinks again. Skye tells him that as much as she loves him, she loves being sober more. She assures him she and she alone is responsible for her continued sobriety or slips. She rambles on about being more careful in the future as it is a life long problem/condition. Jax admires her bravery. They bear their souls to each other, neck, go back home (Lake house) and make love. Afterwards, Skye confesses that she no longer is fearful of losing him and Jax assures her that they have all the time in the world to be together�

SONNY�S PH:
Carly and Sonny look out the window and wonder which of Alcazar many enemies might have had something to do with the explosion on the yacht. Jason arrives and announces that Alcazar was not on the yacht when it exploded. Sonny pronounces it the perfect opportunity to make a move against his enemy. Carly has a bad feeling and pleads with Sonny not to take the chance. Sonny insists that he has to make a move now or lose the upper hand. In the end he gives in and lets Jason go �check things out� first. After Jason leaves, Sonny and Carly calmly discuss her interference and he urges her to be strong so that he can go about his business without worry or distraction. Surprise of surprises, Taggart shows up to �question� Sonny about the explosion. They barely have time to get into their usual typical conversation, before some officers drag Roy into the penthouse and inform all that they caught him �sneaking� up the stairs. When Roy claims he just needed to see Sonny, Taggart questions his choice of stairs instead of the usual elevator. Taggart doesn�t really buy any of it, but without evidence can do nothing so he turns on Carly and asks if she is ready to be buried next to the first Mrs. Corinthos. Carly shots him down then leaves to go run an errand. After Taggart also leaves, Roy tells Sonny that the explosion aboard the yacht does NOT change anything�

PIER ?:
A frantic Alcazar orders his men to keep searching for �her�. Felicia tries to take advantage of his distraction to slip away but gets caught before she can take more than a few steps. Alcazar orders his goons to take her back and tells them to shoot Felicia if she tries to escape again. Shortly after, Jason arrives on the docks and Alcazar accuses Sonny of setting the explosion. He baffles Jason when he tells him to tell Sonny that the stunt may have cost them both something important. Jason suggests that since things are no longer going as planned, Alcazar should cut his loses and leave. Alcazar tells Jason that he doesn�t take orders from Sonny or his flunky (referring to Jason). After Jason leaves, Alcazar orders his men to keep searching until they find Brenda�

YACHT:
Brenda is still trapped and continues to bang on the door/wall while screaming for help. All the while the water level is rapidly rising�

SONNY�S PH:
Jason returns and reports that Alcazar is frantic because his girlfriend was apparently still aboard the yacht when it exploded. Alcazar blames Sonny, and oh yeah what was Roy doing here? Jason asks. Sonny says it�s no big surprise about the blame and he�ll fill Jason in later on Roy�s visit. Jason agrees with Sonny that Alcazar is vulnerable and they should take the opportunity it offers to get rid of him. Before they can do much else the phone rings�

PIER ?:
Alcazar learns from the harbor patrol that although Brenda was NOT found on board her chances of having escaped the explosion and sinking of the ship were slim to none. Alcazar is sure that she managed to survive and orders his men to keep search both the water and the surrounding shores. Alcazar then calls Roy and orders him to kill Sonny NOW! Roy assures Alcazar that the hit will go down that night�

SHORELINE:
Brenda has managed to reach the shore (though how she escaped the ship is still a mystery) but has to hide (under a over turned row boat) when she hears someone coming. It is Alcazar, she keeps still, holds her breath and eventually Alcazar and his men move on. Later Brenda is seen walking down a street. She runs in to a young man with a cell phone. She asks him to make a call for her. The man is reluctant until she offers to give him her $3000 diamond watch. Brenda dials the number then instructs the man to push send and ask for Sonny. Once Sonny is on the phone, Brenda has the man tell Sonny that a friend needs to meet him at St. Timothy�s church that night with information about Alcazar. Sonny refuses the meeting unless he can speak to the �friend� directly. The young man gives Brenda the message and passes her the phone. Brenda slowly puts the phone up to her ear and takes a deep breath�
