Luke walks into Lucky's hospital room and tells Lulu she's not going to live with Nikolas because she's coming home with him. Lulu says she won't live with him just because he doesn't want her to live with Nikolas and storms out. Liz follows and tries to explain to her that Luke hid his feelings from her because it hurt too badly. She reminded him of her mother, Laura. He tried to protect her and couldn't. Luke walks in and tries to convince Lulu that she's coming home with him. She tells him she no longer cares and won't live with him. She storms back into Lucky's hospital room, and Luke tells Liz he had no idea he was hurting his little girl. He thought all along that he was doing what was best for her by staying away. Liz tells him he needs to tell all this to Lulu, not her. Nikolas tells Lulu she can't come back to Wyndemere with him and accuses Lucky of having a hand in Nikolas's change of heart. She tells him her father should be the one telling her he loves her, not Lucky telling her. Luke walks in and admits that he does love her. Lulu is stunned that Luke would tell her he loves her. Luke knows that he will have to prove it to her, but asks her to come live with him. She agrees to think about it.

Courtney tries to make Jax understand that she no longer loves him and wants to be with Nikolas. Jax is deeply hurt and storms out, after telling her to pay attention to what she's taking away from their child when she goes out and sees other couples with their children. Courtney tells him it won't benefit their child to be together in a loveless home. She goes to Wyndemere to see Nikolas, and Helena finds her instead and tells her Nikolas has no need for her now that she's pregnant with another man's child. Courtney tells Helena that she and Nikolas are still very much a couple, and Helena vows to change that.

Jason starts to have a violent reaction to Robin's medication, a stronger reaction than Robin has seen before. Sam is very upset and asks for a guarantee from Robin that they won't lose Jason, but Robin can't promise that. Jason wakes up and asks for water and for the restraints to be removed. Sam tells him she can't do that, so he asks for her to do whatever possible to keep him awake. Sam agrees, but he falls back asleep before she can do anything about it.

Sonny comes home to find Carly with the boys. They tuck the boys in and go downstairs. Carly tries to convince Sonny that she's been released permanently and wants him to make her dinner. Sonny calls her bluff and tells her he knows she's lying. He tells her they are over and she needs to go back to Rose Lawn. She gets upset and tells him Reese is trying to get Sonny back, and Sonny tells her that Reese is dead. They shout and wake Michael up, who comes downstairs and tells his dad to leave his mom alone. Carly hugs him and tells him that Sonny helped her realize that she came home too soon. Michael doesn't want his mom to go, but Sonny tells him they need to make their mom's decision as easy as possible on her.
