He lets her know that if this is about Carly, he's not interested. Bobbie tells him she overheard his conversation and his mother has been tight lipped about something.

Luke is making plans to break into Wyndemere when Bobbie walks into the room. She begs him to reconsider his plan, saying that it's simply too dangerous. Luke was determined to move on with his plan. Bobbie asked that Luke reconsider for Nikolas' sake. When Luke snapped that Nikolas was a Cassadine, Bobbie pointed out that Nik is still Laura's son. That creates an obligation, she said firmly.

At the hospital Nikolas is dressed up in a Halloween costume and playing around with Amy. She knows who it is. He asked her how she knew it was him. "You are like a sleek black cat!" she laughs. Nik asked if he could show Amy what he'd gotten for Sarah---put told her it was top secret. He pulls out a box with a necklace inside. Amy was awed by the piece of jewelry and assured Nikolas that Sarah would love it. Stefan walked up to tell Nikolas that they would moving back to Greece. Nikolas started arguing with Stefan. He flat out refused to leave Port Charles. Nikolas wanted to hang around so that he could try to get closer to Laura. And, of course, there's Sarah. Just as they are arguing, Katherine shows up and Stefan looks at her and Nikolas replies, "I thought you said it wasn't personal?" He laughs and walks away.

Over at Audrey's house Sarah is still in shock from seeing the condoms. Just as she picks them up her grandmother walks into the room and sees her holding them. "It's not what you think grandmother." "Thank god for that!" "What I don't understand grams is this isn't like Nikolas," Sarah says. "We haven't even discussed sex." So after a little talking Sarah decided to go to work early to talk to Nikolas in the hopes that they could get everything straightened out. When she arrives at the hospital Nikolas greets her with excitement. He starts talking about going to one of their houses so they can be alone for the night. By this time all Sarah is thinking about is the condoms she found, so everything he says she automatically thinks he is talking about sex.

At Ruby's Liz is busy cleaning up the diner her grandmother is coming and she wants Ruby to only have nice things to say about her. Lucky walks over to her and says that she looks nervous. Liz asks her if she can sit down. Some how the conversation turned to Sarah and before you knew it Liz insinuated that Sarah and Nikolas were going to have sex. Lucky sits there in surprise.

He's telling her what happened in Ja.k.arta and how he plans on finding out who did this him. Ned tells her about the company that did it and she looks at him and says, that name sounds familiar. "My father had dealings in Ja.k.arta once. Let me go call someone who would know."

Edward really tells off Stefan. Lets him know he can't wait until he leaves for Greece. That the first thing he is going to do is hire Katherine back. Stefan looks at him and shrugs. "While you are at it why don't you hire your one grandson to run the drug and alcohol center and the gangster one to run fund raising." "Well Stefan," Edmund growls. "Why don't we ask everyone right now whether they would work at a hospital run by all Quartermaines or all Cassadines?" "You are right Edward," Stefan concedes, "You are too much for me so I will say good-bye, in that rash voice of his.

Luke has broke into Wyndemere and is searching the house. He is searching everywhere. Under the beds, in the closets, when Stefan returns.
