Doing what's best for family

• Johnny romantically plays the piano, as Lulu saunters in to watch. She complimented his piece. She was there to inform him that no one will blame him for the shooting.
• Jason emotionally recounts for Elizabeth when Carly asked him to be the father of her child. He agonizes how everyone thinks he can keep everyone safe and the truth is he can't keep anyone safe. He admitted he shouldn't be near a child.
• Sonny stumbling around with a gun in his hand loads it and then points in toward his mouth. Squinting, as though, he is about to pull the trigger he flashes on Michael. Just then he hears a noise, and it's Robin. He hides the gun. She announced she is there to help. They discuss the children, their mothers, and his opinion he that he is a selfish bastard.
• Johnny inquires about Michael. After briefing him, she goes on about how she told everyone that he was with her. He is pissed.
• Alexis is covering her eyes, while both Diane and Max quickly get dressed. Alexis is worried about Diane being with a thug. Alexis went so far as to call Max a flunky.
• Jason tells Elizabeth about his visit to Monica and his concern that the last person she had left is now shot. He made enemies which will always put her and her kids in the line of fire. Elizabeth then clarifies that he is choosing a life of crime over her and the boys. Jason said NO he made that decision before he ever met her. Both with streaming tears confess their love. Elizabeth says she can't stop loving him, even now.
• Carly continued to kick Claudia out of Michael's room. Claudia with deep sincerity explained no child deserved this. Carly took out all her anger on Claudia, justified or not. As Carly is yelling at the top of her lungs for Claudia to get out, Jax arrived.
• Jax didn't know who she was, Carly informed him. Now both of them kicked her out. Jax embraced Carly and inquired about Michael.
• Sonny told Robin all he wanted to do was teach Michael about the coffee business. Frustrated he blamed himself for leaving Michael wide open. He knows that they were aiming for him, and he always walks away without a scratch. Robin said wanting to show your son there is more than being in the mob, you were trying to be a good father. Sonny said that Carly was right he didn't deserve to be a father; he grabbed Kate instead of Michael.
• Johnny and Lulu argue over playing games with each other. Johnny said not everyone he does is about her. Once again, Lulu stomped out telling him to have a nice life.
• Elizabeth said she doesn't want to risk her boys getting hurt, but it's her choice to. He apologized. She said she wasn't, she loved him and their son. She hoped that there would be some way she could be with him again. [Everyone had to realize that the marriage proposal would be taken back and no marriage would actually take place, once Michael was shot. IT SUCKS. Let them just be together. Enough said]. She begged him to continue to meet at the safe house. Jason said it's up to her. Rolling tears they go back and forth about why they shouldn't be together, yet how much they love each other and need to be with each other. Jason said he wanted her and the boys to have a safe life. Passionately the two kiss and embrace, then he departed. [It's hard watching Stone Cold with flowing tears].
• Diane defended Max. The two women argue. Diane goes on about all the great qualities of Max. Max then explained to Alexis he wouldn't stop at anything to protect Sonny. Alexis begged her to give up on Max, besides she would only be second to Carly. Max fumbled for words.
• Carly explained she no longer wanted Sonny anywhere near her kids. Jax listened to Carly explain the details. Carly beats herself up again about Michael getting shot.
• Robin attempted to comfort Sonny. She explained that Carly manipulated any man and used her kids to work the men, AJ, Tony, Jason and him. Sonny made it clear that he promised to take care of him and love him; he should have put Michael first. Therefore, he has failed his son in everyway that matters.
• Max now defended Diane and him, he pointed out that Alexis is no relationship expert. Diane brought up Jerry Jax. In the mean time, throughout this discussion Max and Diane manage to compliment each other. Alexis departed. Max thanked Diane for defending him. Awkwardly Diane says she is leaving, Max held up her underwear she almost left behind. She came to retrieve it and he leaned in for a goodnight kiss.
• Robin continued talking with Sonny about how relationships are difficult. Robin reminded him that Carly knew what life Sonny led when she got involved with him. Sonny defended Carly again. Robin said no one has the right to push a father out of their childs life.
• Jax wanted to know when Michael will regain consciousness. Carly didn't give a clear response. Jason arrived while they were talking. Jax said Michael is doing better he squeezed Carly's hand this afternoon. Jax went back in to see Michael. Jason with great concern looked at Carly and said she needed to tell him what the doctors said.
• Claudia found Johnny at the piano. She sat next to him. Johnny said it's not that easy anymore to get lost in the music. Claudia said she saw Michael in the hospital. They both agreed it was stupid for her to visit him. Her anguish over what he was going through with all those tubes going down his throat; she then said when Johnny was a little boy she promised to protect him and he won't pay for her mistakes. Johnny put his arm around his sister with love.
• Johnny asked if anyone accused her of anything at the hospital. Claudia said she left Carly yell at her, and her husband Jasper Jacks might have suspicion. Johnny said you won't let me go to Sonny to take responsibility, neither can you. Claudia feared for her life.
• Robin said instead of blaming yourself for everything have you considered what Michael would want?
• Jax left so Jason could read to Michael. He never actually left he just peered in through the door from the hall. [We all know that Jax has been and continues to be jealous of Jason].
• Johnny said he is not a little boy anymore she didn't need to protect him forever. Claudia said she can try. Johnny convinced her to keep a low profile; she asked he do the same with Lulu. He stated he was done with Lulu for good this time. Claudia worried about Johnny's heart being broken.
• Lulu arrived at Kelly's to find a romantic dinner for two prepared by Logan.
• Jax showed up on Elizabeth's doorstep. He wanted her to tell him what happened during surgery. Elizabeth explained the procedure. He asked if Michael will recover. She told him to talk with Carly.
• Carly made Jason promise they will take Michael somewhere special when he wakes up. Sonny came in and asked how Michael was doing. Carly made it clear he was her son, and Sonny wasn't welcome.
