Continuing…Franco monologue’s on a video camera about why he is crazy. He admits to not feeling anything and that he learned to mimic. So, after getting out of prison for a crime he did not commit, he decided to actually commit a crime by murdering an innocent man in Tribeca. Just to see if he felt anything. He did not. The action switches from Franco to Dominic racing to save his beloved, Lulu. It goes back to Franco tagging the building in which Jason just left. It flashes to Lulu silently screaming for help while the bomb under slowly ticks away the time. You see Franco tagging again, then it goes to Sam looking at how much longer the bomb has, and Jason, who is trying to call someone, while racing to save his love, Sam. The camera keeps switching to show how little time Lulu and Sam has, and how desperate Dominic and Jason are to get to them. Then, with just seconds to spare, Jason and Dominic arrive at the two different warehouses where the women are and run in.

Jason burst through the door, gun ready, and sees Sam inside the glass cage. He yells ‘Get down!’ and shots the door, causing it to shatter. He grabs Sam and pulls her out of the box as the seconds count down to zero. It flashes back to Franco who is still tagging the warehouse where is at, and he pauses, as he hears a bomb explode somewhere.
Elizabeth is in her house when she receives a call from Alfred telling her Nicholas is leaving town. She exclaims, “No, he can’t!”. Then Nicholas is shown in the jet, calling the pilot to find out when they will be cleared for takeoff.

Sonny is in his office at the restaurant calling Diane. He tells her to give the police his full cooperation on the previous warehouse fire (the empty one) and then to tell them nothing, since he is the victim, since it is his warehouse. Alexis comes in, interrupting his call. They discuss how Kristina and Alexis are worried about Sam. Sonny tries to reassure her that Jason will get to her in time. Alexis is offended and says, “It’s insulting my intelligence with your platitudes.” They continue to discuss Kristina and how she knows what type of person Sonny is and how she believes that he is responsible for killing Claudia (even though Michael actually killed her trying to defend his mom and sister, but Alexis doesn’t know that). Sonny tells Alexis how he did what she asked and let Kristina come to him, which she did when she came with an Italian cookbook, so they could cook together. That’s how Alexis and Kristina found out that Sam was missing. Sonny tries to explain that Franco is after Jason, has been from the get go, and that no one could have foreseen it. Alexis does not buy it.

Jason is crouch over Sam, to try to protect her from the blast. The counter reaches zero. Nothing happens. Jason looks up and goes in, with a protesting Sam saying that it could be on a delay. Jason begins to realize that this was another sick game of Franco’s. Sam said that Franco told her he was going to make Jason chose and Jason tells her that he had to chose between her and Lulu. Jason tells her that Lulu was at another warehouse and he called Dominic to get to her. Sam is scared for what Lulu is going through. Jason admits to how he almost killed Franco with his bare hands, saying that that makes them the same. Sam says they are nothing alike. Jason hugs her and says he is just glad that she is okay. Jason looks at the bomb and realizes that Franco played him. It was modeling clay, never meant to go off. Sam wonders about Lulu’s and Jason says that hers was supposed to go off the same time as hers. He tries to call Dominic but gets no response. Worried, Jason and Sam rush out.

Lucky rushes to a burning building and runs into Steve Webber. Lucky explains how he heard the explosion and asks Steve if he knows what happens. Steve says that he saw a car rush around a corner, a guy run out of the car, and run into the building just before it exploded. Lucky describes Dominic and Steve says that it was a man matching that description. Lucky realizes Lulu’s inside and he and Steve try to get in.

Nicholas is on the jet when Ethan comes onto the jet. Ethan explains how he called Wyndemere to see if Nicholas knew where Luke was (which makes no sense. Luke can’t stand Nicholas, so why would he tell him where he was going?), and found out that Nicholas was on his way to Europe. On the mistaken notion that Nicholas was going after Rebecca, Ethan decided to go to the airport and kick Nicholas’ butt. Nicholas informed him that he had no such plans, that he was just leaving town. Elizabeth, in a rush to get to Nicholas, she calls her Gram and asks her if she could baby-sit the boys. She makes plans to wake up the boys and take them to her Grams.

Kristina and Kiefer are seating in his car. Kristina vents about how Sam has been kidnapped and she believes that it is his fault, and that he is just laying all the blame on Jason. She says that she is all alone. Kiefer tells her that her dad loves her and how she is not alone, she has him. Yeah, what a real catch, an abusive controlling boyfriend! He leans in and kisses her.

Alexis and Sonny are still discussing Kristina and how much danger is always around Sonny. He informs her that he loves his children and Alexis says she knows that, but that Kristina is just now realizing how the people Sonny loves are always in danger.

Lucky and Steve cannot get in. Lucky calls in for backup, explaining the situation. Sam and Jason run in, and Sam asks if Lulu got out. Lucky is surprised that Sam is all right. He asks how she knew that Lulu was in the building and Jason explains Franco’s twisted plot. Jason says he could only chose one. Lucky asks, “You let Lulu die?”

Ethan is surprised that Nicholas is just going to leave Rebecca alone. Nicholas admits that she never crosses his mind and that he just wants to get away. Elizabeth gets the boys ready to take to her Grams, apologizing about waking them up.

Maxie and Spinelli are looking on the computer trying to get information about the explosion. Maxie is worried that Lulu was killed in the explosion. Spinelli tries to reassure her.

Sonny and Alexis continue to argue over Kristina. Sonny is worried about how controlling Alexis is and how it is affecting Kristina. Alexis’ phone rings, interrupting the conversation. It’s Sam telling her that she is okay and that there are a few things she still needs to take care of. They tell each other that they love one another. Alexis informs Sonny about what Sam told her.

Jason tries desperately to get in. Lucky tells him it’s no use, that all the entrances are blocked. Jason apologizes and Lucky tells him how Lulu trusted him. He says he knows. Lucky rakes Jason over the coils on how he chose Sam over Lulu. Sam tells him that Jason called Dominic and that he had just as much time as Jason to get to Lulu. He says that Dominic ran in to rescue Lulu and he asks where Sam was held. She tells him that she was held in a different warehouse. Jason (who should have kept his mouth shut) informs Lucky that Sam’s bomb was a fake. Lucky attacks him, screaming that he let his sister died and that he said he knew that how Franco’s mind work and that he should have known that Sam was never in any danger. Steve pulls him away. He says that Sam chose to be with Jason and if she died it came with the territory of being with a mobster, but that Lulu was an innocent hostage. He gets free from Steve and attacks Jason again. Jason tries to talk to Lucky when they hear “Lucky, Lucky.” It’s Lulu, who’s being helped down the stairs by Dominic, who managed to get to her in time. Lucky rushes to hug Lulu, who is released by Dominic. Dominic sees that Sam and Jason are fine.
Elizabeth boards the plane. Nicholas knows that Alfred told Elizabeth about his plans to visit his mom in Paris. Nicholas says that he wants to get away and that she has what she wants, “You have a family. You have Lucky.” Elizabeth says, “I don’t want to lose you.”

Alexis goes home and lets Molly know that Sam is okay. Molly tells her mom that Kristina is with Kiefer. Molly wants more information about what happened to Sam but all Alexis knows is that Jason is the reason she was in danger and that he rescued her. Molly thinks that Jason is a great boyfriend to have because he is great in dangerous situations. Alexis disagrees and Molly says that is because she likes a different kind of man, one like Commissioner Scorpio. Alexis, not wanting to talk about Mac, tells her that they should make cookies and pretend to be normal.

Kiefer and Kristina discuss about how the car was not as comfortable to have sex as the hotel room. They talk about how they only have each other. He informs her that since her last name is Davis, when she goes to college, no one has to know that she is Sonny’s daughter.

Maxie and Spinelli read that there were two survivors in the explosion. They hope one of them is Lulu. Maxie complains that Lulu should call her and let her know that she is alive. Spinelli says that she probably has other things on her mind. Maxie asks Spinelli if he thinks she is being selfish and he says no, that she is filled with light and love and that he is grateful that she is safe. Maxie tells Spinelli that she loves him.

Sonny is on the phone with Dominic. He asks if Lulu is fine and Dominic says that she is pretty banged up but that he got to her in time. Sonny mentions that Dominic has a knack for saving people, first Morgan, then Lulu, then Sonny, and now Lulu again, just as Olivia walks into his office. He is thankful to Dominic. Olivia says she will come back but Sonny tells her to stay. Dominic hears that his mom is there with Sonny. Sonny goes on to tell Olivia what happened with Dominic and Lulu (just what every mom wants to hear, that your son was just in a burning building). Dominic hangs up to check on Lulu. Olivia asks if Dominic is okay and Sonny reassures her that he is. Olivia explains that she is there about an accounting error but that she would deal with it, when she sees that he is upset. Sonny tells her it is not that. Olivia says that Dominic saved Lulu, so she asks if she is okay. He says she is, so Liv asks what’s wrong. Sonny says that he has three children by two different mothers (actually, he has four kids by three different mothers, but he doesn’t know about Dominic being Dante and being his son),that as much as he tries to do right by his kids and protect and love them, he keeps being told that he is destroying his kids life.

Steve checks out Lulu. Dominic asks if she is alright and he says that she is besides a few minor cuts and bruises. Lulu says it is thanks to Dom that she is okay. Lucky introduces Dom to Steve and Steve leaves. Lucky asks how he got her out of there. Dom says that after he cut her lose from the duck tape, he knew they would not be able to make it out of there and so he took a chance on an access door, which lead to a basement. They dove under an I-beam when the building exploded. The I-beam held. Sam is surprised that he reacted so well, that most people have to have training. Dom, being a cop, of course, does, but, not wanting to bring suspicion on himself, just blows it off as luck. Lulu tells him, “Enough with the modesty, you’re a hero. Deal with it.” Dominic asks if she is okay, no smoke inhalation? She says she is fine besides her arm hurting from him dragging her down the stairs but that she would take it since he saved her life. Lucky thanks him. Jason is worried that Franco hurt Lulu. She says no, that he was having his fun. She says that he grabbed her at Kate’s office and strapped her to a chair with explosives under it. Lucky asks if he told her why. She said that he told her she had a 50/50 chance if Jason chose wrong. Jason has had it. He says, “Nothing like this is going to happen again,” and turns to leave. Lucky stops him.

Nicholas is leaving so he does not have to tell Lucky that Elizabeth loves him too. He wants to leave so that he can deal with being in love with her, but never having her. He asks, “If you love Lucky the way you say you do, why do you keep coming back to me?” Good question. Could it be that she is deluding herself and that she is actually in love with Nicholas and not Lucky?

Kristina comes home and Alexis tells her that she is safe. Molly says that Jason was Sam’s knight in shining armor again. Kristina tells her not to be delusional, that Sam was in actual danger. Molly says that she is not delusional, but that Jason saved her life again. Kristina complains that Sonny is the reason why Sam was in danger, not Jason. Alexis sends Molly to her room to read ‘Crime and Punishment’ again. Alexis tries to get through to Kristina and show her that there is more to Sonny besides is criminal background, but she does not succeed.

Olivia says that Sonny has a great relationship with his kids. Sonny says not with Kristina. She says that she will come around. Olivia says, that even though she would never want one of her kids involved in his life (which is why she is keeping Dante’s paternity a secret), that he was a great father and that he had wonderful redeeming qualities. Johnny interrupts by coming in the door and asking about the warehouse explosions. Sonny tells Johnny that Franco was sending Jason a message. Johnny asks if everyone was alright and Sonny says yes. Johnny goes to leave and Liv asks where he is going. He says, “I have my on agenda with Franco.”

Jason tells Lucky that he is going after Franco. Lucky says, no, that, he was and Jason could ride along. He tells him that this was a police matter now. Jason says that Franco never intended to kill him, that he wanted him to go to him. Lucky says that Franco’s game was over, that everyone was safe and that Franco was not getting what he wanted. He tells him how he worked for him (by pretending to arrest Jason for Claudia’s murder) and that now, Jason worked for him. He says that he was going to show him where Franco was and that he was going to bring him into custody.

Franco is shown leaving the warehouse, while putting a cd into an envelope.

Nicholas asks if Liz loved Lucky. She says that she loves them both. She says that when she is with Lucky, she is always fifteen and that all he can see is the good in her. But that when she is with Nicholas, she is a woman and she can be anything she wants. He asks where they go from here, since there was no good way out of it. She says that she did not know, but that nothing would be solved by his running away.

Johnny comes onto the warehouse scene and sees Dominic hugging Lulu and that they are both covered in ash. He asks if she was in the building and she says yes, that Dominic saved her. He asks if she is okay. Johnny wants to know if the cops arrested Franco. They said that Lucky and Jason were going after him. Sonny comes and makes sure Lulu is okay and thanks Dominic for saving her life, saying he is grateful and that Luke would be too. Dom says he is just grateful that he was able to get there on time. Sonny wants to take them to the hospital, but Lulu says no, that Dr. Webber checked her out. Johnny sees Olivia and asks what she is doing there. She says she is worried about him and came to see that he was okay. He says not to worry about him and that Franco was long gone. A fireman comes out and announces that they found a body and they don’t know how long she has been dead for. They all know it’s Claudia.

Lucky and Jason show up at the warehouse. Lucky tells Jason to stay in the car. Jason gets out and stops Lucky from going in, telling him it is a trap, that Franco knew Jason would be back. Lucky asks Jason to tell him everything Franco said to him. He says, “He said that I would come looking for him and that for every person I killed, he would kill another.” Franco is shown leaving as a building explodes behind him.
