LUKE, SKYE, AND RIC
Luke and Skye are in the car, discussing their gateway. Luke tells Skye this is the place where they part ways. Skye is not too happy and wants to stay and help him. Luke then says some touching sentiment about always being there for him, and he kisses Skye. Then Skye puts duct tape over her mouth and Luke drops her off someplace to make it look like a kidnapping. He calls the cops and confesses to snatching Skye. The cops pick her up and bring her to the police station, where Alexis and Ric are engaging in their typical banter. But before Skye gets there, Tracy shows up and says she wants to “help Skye,” and proceeds to turn over the pictures of Skye with Dead Ross to Ric, now that Jax says he will never marry Tracy. So then when Skye shows up, Ric takes her and Alexis into the interrogation room and paints a picture about what really happened with the murder. Ric has the log book to the mental hospital that Laura was at, and it turns out Skye has visited Laura three times in the last four months. She claims it was to check Laura’s condition and make sure she wasn’t going to come back and claim Luke. But Ric has a different idea—she goes there to befriend Laura, brushes her hair, collects some stray hair for later use, then kills Ross on an alcoholic bender, but decides to use Laura as a scapegoat to avoid getting caught for the murder. So she plants Laura’s hair at the scene and proceeds to make Laura look crazy by claiming she is being stalked and by trashing Luke’s club to blame Laura. Ric says the motive is “dueling obsessions”—Skye’s with Luke, and Luke’s with Laura. Ric seems to think Skye would do anything to get rid of competition with Luke. He then busts out the pictures Tracy gives him and arrests Skye. Who knows what will happen with this story line—I am completely lost with what is going on and how it will end…Another bizarre twist is that Luke goes to Laura’s hospital room and speaks to a worker there. The worker then gets paged and it turns out there is a two way mirror in the room, and “Laura” is watching Luke from another room. The worker goes to the mirror room asks “Laura” what to do about him. The next thing we see is Luke drugged an in a straight jacket. The worker tells “Laura” they wont have to worry about Luke anymore…

THAT DAMN GAZEBO--JAX, COURTNEY, SAM, TRACY
Jax and Courtney continue their discussion about love and Jax, very maturely, continues to insult Jason about being with Sam (I am sorry, didn’t Jax also sleep with Sam?) and Courtney stands up for Jason. Blah blah blah, they have both given up on love, Courtney says Jason’s baby makes her unspeakably sad and leaves, presumably to go home. Jax is left at the gazebo, and Sam walks by. Jax also insults her and says the he isn’t surprised she slept with Jason. Sam also defends Jason and says he is twice the man Jax is, and he offered her a life, and now they are getting married! Then Jax leaves, and lo and behold, Courtney walks past the Gazebo again, going the opposite direction that she left (hmm, that is a weird way to go home) and Sam wants to talk to Courtney to try to explain things, but then Courtney cuts her off and says that if she finds out that Sam ever hurt Jason, she will make Sam regret the day she was born (ooh, I am sure Sam is trembling—come on Sam! Say something back!). Then Sam leaves, and by quite a coincidence, Tracy goes to the gazebo and talks to Courtney. Tracy tries to blackmail Courtney by saying that she knows Courtney incorrectly filled out a foundation form (gee, I thought Courtney was this great business woman—this is no way to help the “kids”) and she will either tell on her to whoever you tell that to, unless Courtney leaves Jax alone. Jax creeps up to that damn gazebo again, without being noticed, and Tracy continues to get in Courtney’s face and says that Jax needs a woman of substance, not an piece of trash who rides a pole in a strip club. Then big bad Courtney decides to shove Tracy, a grandmother, to the ground. Go Courtney—pick a fight with someone who is at least 25 years older than you! You are tough!

THE BABY DILEMMA
Sonny suggests to Carly that they go away together to the island, but Carly doesn’t think that is a great idea—he is just trying to run away from Sam. Then Mac shows up to give Sonny the heads up that the word on the street is that Faith is planning a war, and Sonny should try to solve this peacefully before things get out of hand. Sonny doesn’t seem to care and Mac leaves. Sonny then tells Carly he is going to the island with the boys with or without her, so the whole family packs up and leaves for the island. Once they are there, Carly tells Sonny how hard it is to be at the island, because she can “feel” Sam’s presence there and a bunch of other junk about how hard it is to see Sam. Then Sonny gets a call about business and has to leave—Carly is none too happy. She calls an interior decorater to completely redo the island house—top to bottom—there was a “terrible stench” let loose in her house, and then when she gets off the phone, a worker magically comes in, and Carly orders him to take out the master bedroom mattress and burn it. Excuse me, but wouldn’t she want to redo the penthouse more then the island? Sam spent maybe one night at the island, and she LIVED at the penthouse! Doesn’t she want to get rid of any trace of Sam from there too? Okay, then after Mac leaves Sonny’s penthouse, he goes to Jason to also warn him about the war. Jason kicks Sam out to talk about business (this is when she went to the gazebo) and he summons Faith. He warns her to back off, while she still can (I don’t know, I just love mobster talk!). He kicks her out, and Sam comes back and says that she thinks marriage will be a good idea after all. Sam finds a baby carrier in the coat closet, and Jason says it must be for Morgan that Carly left here. Then he asks her if she wants to try it on, and she does (I don’t know about this either, but I just thought it was cute). In walks Sonny to see the “proud parents” trying on the carrier.
