In his GH hospital room, Julian got Alexis to confirm that she really wanted to be with him. He wished she would climb on top of him, but she needed to go and break up with Ned properly. She promised to be quick so they can get back to testing out his bed.
At The Metro Court, Olivia was shocked when her doctor informed her that she was pregnant. Ned interrupted this phone call. From the look on her face, he worried that she may have received bad news. She wondered why he wasn’t with Alexis so he explained their fight and the lecture that Melissa gave him. Olivia was livid. Ned said her friend was right and he had realized they were perfect for each other.
Besides, Alexis was hung up on Julian. Olivia then informed him that she was pregnant with Jerome's baby.
At Maxie's, Spinelli explained that Ellie dumped him because she thought he was still in love with Maxie. Maxie thought he should tell Ellie that he wasn’t, but Spinelli said that he couldn't do that because he might be. He then added that seeing them together over the holidays, it looked to Ellie like they belonged together. She then pushed him to see if they could be a family with Maxie. Spinelli hadn't planning to inflict his sentiments on her, but he wondered if they still had something. Then, Nathan interrupted and wondered where Ellie was. "She had to work!" Maxie blurted out.
At the Quartermaine estate, Michael grumbled to himself about making Sonny pay for killing AJ. Then, Sabrina showed up and apologized for bringing Carlos to the party. He thought she had nothing to be sorry for. Michael then obsessed more over Sonny and was determined to ruin his life. He planned to destroy the coffee business so Sonny could no longer launder his money. Sabrina advised him against revenge but he wouldn't listen. Then, Alexis interrupted, looking for Ned. She then got a call from Kiki. Michael could see it was about the custody.
Sonny and Carly put the baby to bed and kissed her. He had food set out before the fire. They made out until Avery started crying.

At the PCPD, Luke and Jake/Jason discussed their trip to GH last night to have their brains scanned. Luke knew Jake/Jason was hoping their trip proved that Helena was controlling their minds. Jake/Jason did, for himself and to prove his innocence to Elizabeth. Jake/Jason then scolded Luke for the way he had behaved towards Lulu. He thought Luke must want to know he wasn’t responsible for his actions, but Luke said that he was his own man and in control of his actions.
Tracy, Elizabeth and Lulu met with Patrick in his office for the results of the brain scans. They were eager to know if he had found proof of what Helena said, that she had microchips put in their heads to control them. Patrick said that he had found a foreign object buried in Jake/Jason’s brain, but that he found nothing in Luke to indicate that Helena had been controlling him.
Morgan arrived at Sonny’s to check on Avery and learned that Michael had filed for custody. Sonny said that he hated what Michael was doing, but admired his gusto. Sonny added that he knew that Michael was now lost to him, but he wouldn’t let him take his daughter. However, he knew, that Michael wouldn’t back off until he saw him suffer.
At the Quartermaine mansion, Carly confronted Michael over suing Sonny for custody of Avery. The two argued about his motives. Michael claimed that he just wanted to protect Avery. Carly replied that she knew that she and Sonny had made a lot of mistakes with him, but every day he knew he was loved. She then added that she believed that he still loved Sonny and it felt like he was betraying AJ, which was why he was so angry. Michael refused to listen to Carly and told her that he would see Sonny in court.
Back at Wyndemere, Lulu stormed in and interrupted Helena, who was about to tell Nikolas who Jake/Jason was. She said Helena had done it again, she lied to get off and that only Jake/Jason had a chip in his brain. Helena admitted that she had lied, but nobody would believe that Luke’s murderous impulses were all his. Nikolas then warned Helena that he could send her back to jail, and he ordered her to tell Lulu the entire truth. Helena then said that she would tell Lulu everything she wanted to know.
Back at the PCPD, Elizabeth showed up to tell Jake/Jason the good news about the brain scans. They were making arrangements to remove the chip. Jake/Jason was then taken away and later Tracy showed up to see Luke. She asked what changed him so drastically. He replied that he wanted the people in this town to fear him and for them to know that he owned them all. Tracy couldn’t believe that he wanted what Sonny had, but Luke said that he wanted respect, fear and an empire full of lackeys to do whatever. He then recounted when he killed Frank Smith and stepped aside because of Laura, only to have Sonny step in. He then explained that he had realized then the mistake he had made, so he contacted Julian in witness protection to form a plan to get back what was always his. Tracy then asked why he would want to kill her and his own daughter. Luke asked, "Have you met you? Nag, nag nag!" Tracy then realized that there was more to this than he was letting on and she vowed to find out what it was.
Jake/Jason was brought to GH in handcuffs to see Patrick. He thanked Patrick for what he had done and was looking forward to the surgery. Patrick admitted that he wasn’t sure he could operate on him and said that removing the device could kill him.
Olivia dropped by the Quartermaine estate to see Ned. She told him that she wasn’t carrying Julian's baby and that it was a false alarm. He poked holes in that claim and then she finally admitted that she was pregnant. Ned wondered if she would terminate the pregnancy. She insisted that wasn’t an option for her. Olivia just didn't want Julian to find out since he was a mobster and lousy family man. She then told Ned that she was going to leave town. He encouraged her to first get herself checked out and promised to stick by her no matter what.
Bobbie arrived in the cells to visit Luke. He was sure she had nothing new to say. She threatened to tear him apart and wanted to know why he had ordered her son's murder. He blew that off, saying that Lucas wasn't really flesh and blood. She then reminded him of how they always used to protect each other. "Where are you Luke?" she cried. Then, something snapped in Luke. He became disoriented and asked her what was happening. She accused him of playing games, but he insisted that he didn't do anything. Bobbie then disowned him and left. "What's going on?" he screamed. Finally, his other half appeared in a police uniform. He mocked him and explained that they were the same person.
Tracy stormed into Wyndemere as Helena prepared to tell Nikolas and Lulu all about Luke. Helena explained that she encountered Luke staying with Jerry in Amsterdam. He informed her that he planned to destroy Sonny. She explained how he changed in Miscavige, first turning against her and then coming back to her side. Helena then told them that she caught Luke arguing with Bill's corpse. She then told them that Luke was deranged and thought that something that happened to him in the old Spencer house that had given rise to his dark half. Tracy and Lulu then left. Helena then wanted an omelet. Nikolas wanted to return to their previous discussion about “soldier boy.” She then handed Nikolas a box and said that it contained all of the answers about Jake/Jason. It contained a ring. She then explained that Sam gave it to Jake/Jason on her wedding day.
At GH, Jake/Jason asked Elizabeth what he should do about the chip in his brain. "Live free or die?" he asked. If he left it in his head, anything he did under orders would be his fault. She didn't want their friendship to end. He then said that he would rather die than risk hurting anyone.
Meanwhile, Patrick ran into Sam by the elevators. He told her about Jake/Jason's condition and options. Then, Jake/Jason and Elizabeth appeared. He told Patrick that he wanted to go ahead with the surgery. Sam wished him good luck. When she touched his arm, he remembered there was only one ring. He was then wheeled off to surgery before he could explain. As he was being put under, he suddenly recalled Helena telling him his real name.
Down the hall, Alexis visited topless Julian in his room. She said that she didn't get around to dumping Ned so he accused her of having second thoughts. They then discussed his case and she explained everything she told Baldwin. "You are free to go," she said. She then got him out of bed and wheeled him down the hall. They ran into Ned and Olivia by the elevator.
Bobbie met with Tracy and Lulu at Kelly's. She told them what happened with Luke and how he acted like he was two different people. Tracy explained what Helena said and how Luke might have a split personality. Bobbie had an idea of who would know what had happened to her brother.
Michael met with Sabrina at the Quartermaine mansion to go over things for the clinic. The two ended up arguing about Michael’s custody suit. Michael said that it wasn’t all about revenge. He then brought up what Sabrina almost did to Avery, not to be cruel, but to explain how Avery was in danger simply because of who her parents are. He then admitted that he wanted to make Sonny pay, but more importantly he wanted to protect his sister from what he, Morgan and Kristina went through.
Duke dropped by Sonny’s place to deliver a baby gift, as well as give Sonny back the “keys to his kingdom.” Sonny replied that he couldn’t accept take back control, as he couldn’t be associated with the business until his custody case was resolved. He then said that he needed Duke to keep running the business.
Anna interrupted Sloane’s lunch at Kelly’s to inform him that she was back and that no charges had been brought against her. She also reveals she had his old job and Sloane was her first order of business. She then said that she was launching an investigation into the mayoral election and told him her theory that he conspired with Lomax to rig it. Sloane then grabbed her by the arm and warned her to watch her step, as she might not like the consequences. Then, Duke appeared and demanded that Sloane get his hands off Anna. Sloane then headed off and Anna thanked Duke. She also told him about her new job, which still put them at odds.
Ned and Olivia arrived at GH for her doctor’s appointment and ran right into Alexis and Julian, who were headed home. Ned learned Julian had had all charges against him dropped and he was furious. Alexis then took Ned aside to break things off with him. He was worried that Julian was using her, which caused a fight between him and Julian. As they bickered, a nurse told Olivia that her doctor needed to reschedule due to an emergency C-Section. Julian then asked Olivia if she was pregnant, which Olivia denied and said she had an appointment for other reasons. When Ned and Julian continued to argue and plan to take their fight outside, Olivia revealed that she was pregnant in order to stop them. Julian couldn’t believe he was going to be a father again, but Ned claimed that he was the father in order to protect Olivia.
Elsewhere, Carly met up with Sam to wait for news about Jake/Jason’s surgery. The two discussed Helena controlling him, as well as Michael’s feud with Sonny. Carly said how much she missed Jason and said that he would know how to get through to Michael. She also realized that she had gotten her every wish for Michael, she had wanted him to be like Sonny and now he was acting just like him. She then said that Michael used to be the one who held their family together, but now he was tearing it apart.
Meanwhile in the operating room, Jake/Jason had memories of Helena telling him who he was. He tried to tell Elizabeth, but he couldn’t get his name out before passing out. Patrick then began operating, but removing the chip turned out to be riskier than he thought, and Jake/Jason started to hemorrhage. Later, Patrick went out to the waiting room and found Carly and Sam.
At Wyndemere, Helena informed Nikolas that Jake was Jason Morgan. Nikolas planned to tell Sam the truth immediately, but Helena forbid him to do so and threatened to reveal that he had rigged the mayoral election. However, she would rather it not come to that. She then said that if Jake/Jason should remember who he was then he would side with the Quartermaines, along with his nine percent shares in ELQ. When combined the percentage Michael and the others held it would make it statistically impossible for them to take over ELQ. She then asked Nikolas to convince the other distant Quartermaines to side with him and give him their shares. Nikolas felt guilty about keeping Jason from his wife and child, but Helena said that Jake/Jason had no idea who he was so he didn’t miss his family. Nikolas thought of all of the people who loved Jason and asked how he is supposed to lie to them and to Elizabeth. Then, Elizabeth walked in as Nikolas said this.
Back at the Quartermaine mansion, Sonny arrived to see Michael, so Sabrina left them to talk. Sonny tried to convince Michael that Avery would be safe with him as he was no longer in the business. Michael still didn’t believe that and ordered Sonny out of his house.
Luke paced in his cell and started screaming for a guard. Tracy was shown in. He told her that he thought he had done some bad things and that he was in trouble. She believed it and explained what Helena had been saying. He refused to accept that he could have been working with Helena. Tracy then said that his alternative personality implied that his behavior had something to do with his childhood. When she questioned him about it, he snapped. Luke started barking at her, but she wasn’t afraid. She then told him that she was determined to talk to his sister, Patricia, who was older and would know what happened to Luke. He thought trying to find her would be a waste of time, but Tracy vowed to do it and then left.
Maxie showed up at Lulu's with baby Georgie. The babies played on the floor and their mothers fantasized about them getting married. Maxie then told Lulu about Spinelli and Ellie breaking up. Now, he wanted to be a family with Maxie. She then added that she wasn’t so sure where she and Nathan stood anymore. After some rambling, Maxie decided that she was confident in her future with Nathan. They then discussed Lulu's problems with Luke. Then, Tracy burst in so Maxie and her baby left. Tracy told her what happened in the cells.
Nathan jogged straight into Spinelli outside of Kelly's and he spilled his hot chocolate everywhere. They went inside where Nathan stripped off his shirt and ran upstairs to change. Spinelli wondered how he could compete. When Nathan returned, they discussed Ellie. "We're no longer together," replied Spinelli. Spinelli then explained that he and Maxie share the same values. Nathan pointed out that he was with Maxie now. Spinelli then told him why he and Ellie broke up and that he wanted Maxie back. Then, Maxie strolled in with the stroller.
Elizabeth showed up at Wyndemere and found Nikolas arguing with Helena. She informed them that Jake/Jason was out of surgery. Elizabeth then explained the device was out of Jake/Jason's brain and demanded to know what they were talking about. Nikolas started apologizing for everything and offered to pay Jake/Jason's medical bills. Elizabeth then explained they may know his identity after all. She thanked Nikolas for his help and left. Helena wasn't worried about Jason. Nikolas then called in some goons to escort her out, once and for all. Rubbing his hands together, he explained that he now controled the entire Cassadine fortune and how he was sending her to the island for the rest of her life. "You're becoming worthy of the family name," she said. Nikolas then said that he never wanted to hear her rate his performance as a Cassadine again. She replied that she still had faith in him and Spencer.
At GH, Ned claimed to be the father of Olivia's baby. Julian was perplexed. Ned insisted the baby had nothing to do with Jerome. Alexis thought that was bull. She then reminded everyone about Ned pretending to be Kristina's father. Ned insisted that wasn’t lying so Alexis wondered when he cheated on her. Ned tried to say, but Julian demanded to hear it from Olivia, who claimed it was between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Ned was apologetic. Alexis lectured them. Julian reminded her that she cheated on Ned with him. Then, he and Alexis walked away. Julian thought about having a kid to raise from birth. She doubted Ned really knocked Olivia up.
Down the hall, Patrick told Sam and Carly that the implant was gone and he was optimistic. The women worried about Jake/Jason and what a lost soul he was. Patrick then told them that his patient remembered his identity before going under. Sam wondered what all of this meant. Meanwhile, Jake/Jason woke up in his room. When Elizabeth came to his side, she asked him if he could remember who he was.
