Javier beats and assaults Lulu, clearly intent on raping her.
Steve and Olivia meet at a bar for drinks. Olivia
tells Steve what she knows about Sonny setting up Jax.
Jax is arrested, and in handcuffs at the police station. Michael comes in to pay a parking ticket, and Jax asks Michael to have Carly post bail for him, as a sign that she didn't set him up to retain custody of Josslyn.
Brenda accuses Sonny of setting Jax up. Sonny denies it. Brenda accuses Sonny of lying, and is devastated to realize that he's been lying all along. She says that there are no limits to what he will do now; he used to have boundaries. She says he gave up everything for Carly.

Dante says he is going to kill Javier; Javier counters by giving up the name of Luke's accomplice in his scheme: Helena!
Lulu is stunned.
Olivia frets over not being able to save Jax without incriminating Sonny. She asks Steve for his opinion: he says Carly, Sonny and Jax are all adults, and have resources available to them: they will work it out on their own, without Olivia having to squeal on her childhood friend, and father of her child. She likes his answer; they drink more beer and flirt.
Sonny tells Brenda that she knew he led a dangerous life when she got involved with, and married him. She sadly agrees, but says it is different now, because of her son. She knows what
he wants her to do: be silent and close her eyes to everything, and she can't do it anymore, and so she has to go. Both are devastated, and Brenda evades Sonny's attempt to touch her. She goes upstairs to gather her things and get her son.
Kristina and Ethan find Molly, Morgan, and Josslyn. Krissie explains why the kidnapping scheme was a bad idea.

Jax is released from jail.
Lulu torches the whorehouse.
Michael thanks Kristina for finding Joss.
Krissie wants a favor in return: help her sneak off to Vegas with Ethan.
Brenda comes downstairs with her things, ready to go to a hotel. She kisses him one last time, and puts her wedding ring in his hand. It devastates them both.
Jax shows up at Carly's in a murderous rage, blasting her for setting him up, which she denies.
Jax doesn't believe her, and warns there will be hell for her to pay when he proves it. He walks out angrily, without a backward glance.
