At the courthouse, John fights for a postponement to Manny's trial but the judge sides with Alexis, and allows Manny to attend in a wheelchair.
At GH, Liz treats Manny. In character, (and referring to her by her first name) he compliments her kindness and expresses his desire to be "friends"---you can almost see Liz' skin crawl at the thought. Lorenzo shows up and, after Liz leaves, reminds Manny he is to rid the world of Sonny and Jason or else he, Lorenzo, will turn over Samantha's memory chip. Later, Lorenzo invites a very willing Skye to fly to Manhattan with him.
At home, Samantha awakens from a nightmare in which outside the courtroom, a just-acquitted Manny has risen from his wheelchair and cornered her. Urged by Jason to try to forget about him as John will likely postpone the trial, Justus arrives with bad news---there will be no postponement! The two head to the courthouse, where Alexis and John each give strong closing arguments that point to the lack of evidence (of Manny's new personality) on the opposing sides. Ultimately, he is found guilty of involuntary manslaughter and ordered to counseling, community service at GH and to wear an ankle monitor. Samantha is shockingly calm at the verdict.
At the Metro Court, a very busy Carly flies solo in Jax' absence; she is on the phone trying to get Sonny to pick up the kids from the hotel but Sonny is apparently too busy. Nikolas shows up wanting Courtney's whereabouts; he's convinced Carly already gave them to Jax. Naturally, she refuses to help him---though after some arguing, she DOES give him a phone number. "If she wants to, she'll tell you where she is," says Ms. Benson.
Nik somehow learns where Courtney went from the number, but is told by the lady who rented the room that the "tall, blonde guy" came looking for her, and she hasn't been seen since. The reason: Helena has her prisoner---as a henchman holds a gun to Courtney, Helena demands she convince Nikolas permanently stay away if she wants to keep breathing post-birth. The evil matriarch plans to test the baby's DNA herself once it's born, raise it if it's Nik's, and give it away if it is indeed Jax'.
At the nurses' station, Emily gets a message from Sonny that the kids need to be picked up, and suddenly nothing else matters to Em. Liz calls her on this, wondering if she'll always drop everything whenever Sonny wants her to---Emily doesn't exactly say 'no'. She does pick up the kids---but not before Carly explains how, with her ties to Jason and the kids, she's "the one person with the potential to destroy (Sonny)" and SHOULD NOT be involved with him.
At the Q asylum, Tracy hands Lesley Lu the want-ads and orders her to find a job. Soon, Alice, using a vicious headlock, drags a man to Tracy who is allegedly her "gentleman caller"...but is actually a P.I. hired by Tracy to find Luke! After the P.I. leaves having revealed nothing, a package from Luke to his daughter arrives.
Though Tracy spits out numerous threats, only the promise to drop the charges against Luke get Lulu to let her see the return address on the box. After Tracy confesses planting the rat poison to a very angry Mac, Tracy gets the box, which is sent from the "Marchum Islands" and contains a gray, troll-like sculpted head (which strongly resembled, fittingly, a rat).
At GH, Lucas' counseling begins. He tells Lainey how he is only doing this (counseling) because of his mother and gives some insight to when he first learned he might be gay. At the nurses' station, Liz politely urges Bobbie to accept her son, but when Bobbie asks her to imagine Cameron being the one beaten up for being gay, Liz can't honestly deny she wouldn't similarly act. Bobbie is pleased to hear from Lucas that the counseling is helping him with his current "phase".
Outside the courtroom, Samantha's earlier nightmare becomes a terrifying reality...
