Tyler Christopher announced today on his official web site that he and his wife Brie are expecting a baby! This will be the couple's first child. The baby is due October 1.
If you would like to leave congratulations to the proud first time parents, please visit Tyler's official message board.
Check out this wild and crazy RUMOR! Carly is RUMORED to turn to Sonny, get’s pregger’s, then leads Jax to believe he is the father of the baby. Meanwhile, Claudia has to find a way out of being killed when her secret is exposed, and FAST. What does she come up with? A fake pregnancy…in the end, Claudia schemes Carly into thinking her baby died, while she claims Carly’s baby as her own. – HEY, it could happen, this is the soap world!
Although I don’t think there is a baby switch coming, we MIGHT see Claudia pregnant coming up soon. However, Carly MAY have a false alarm when she has dizzy spells and heads to the clinic, causing Olivia to think she is pregnant. This is where she could see Claudia at the doctor’s office having an interesting conversation with Dr. Kelly.
Now, remember…Claudia, DID have S.E.X. with Ric on Friday. However, Ric was so medicated and drunk, he MAY not remember. This COULD lead to a “who’s the daddy” story, when Claudia sets her mind on getting pregnant with Sonny’s child…because she is already pregnant with Ric’s baby!
There’s RUMBLINGS that Sonny and Olivia could become closer. WHY, you ask? According to RUMORS, Olivia decides to keep a close eye on Sonny to make sure he is safe but this plan could make things more complicated. Kate is on the other end pressuring Olivia to tell the truth about Dante once again.
It’s weird how Matt pops in every few weeks to bug Maxie to go out with him. RUMORS have him showing back up to pursue her once again and Lulu makes sure Spinelli sees that Maxie does protest a bit too much.
The cat and mouse game starts up between Ethan and Lulu, according to one source. Lulu impresses Ethan when she scams him. We MAY see the two of them discuss their similar parent issues, causing them to gain a new understanding for one another. Luke notices the dynamic between the two and begins to wonder if Ethan is in Port Charles for a specific reason after all. Also, Tracy becomes interested in Ethan’s past.
It becomes obvious that Rebecca is running a big con on Nikolas and that she is being pressured into manipulating Nikolas.
Jason asks Bernie to help out with Sam and Spinelli’s new private eye business by lending his name. Sam embraces her new life as a private eye.
Who tells the truth about who shot Michael? According to one RUMOR, it will ultimately be Nikolas. We MIGHT start to see the warning signs within the next couple of weeks.

Claudia goes a bit too far!
Claudia hides a drugged and unconscious Ric in her bedroom before Sonny can find him! She panics and calls Johnny for help. Luckily, Maxie is available too, and the two of them rush over to Claudia’s bedroom and manage to get an unconscious Ric out of Claudia’s bedroom and out the door undetected! When Ric wakes up, he is at Mercy hospital. Maxie assures Johnny she can be trusted to keep his secret.
Later at the hospital, Ric vows to make Claudia pay for what she did to him. Ric continues to get under Claudia’s skin with the knowledge of Michael’s shooting – even choking at one point AND despite the fact that it has already earned him a poisoning from Claudia. Ric begins to drop hints around Jason who becomes suspicious. Jason begins his own investigation when him and Sonny ponder if Ian Devlin had a partner in crime when he shot Michael. Jason questions Maxie about Ian Devlin. Ric bribes Claudia, she goes to Johnny and tries to talk him into joining Sonny’s organization as her secret spy. By mid-week, Ric pays the consequences for threatening Claudia in front of him. Jason realizes Ric is blackmailing Claudia and comes up with a plan to save her.
The Younger Set
Maxie and Johnny are caught in a lie by Lulu and Spinelli after attending a club opening. This causes the suspicions to grow even further for Lulu and Spinelli, thinking something is up between the two of them.
Later, Lulu overhears Maxie tell Johnny that no one will ever find out what happened between the two of them! Ethan drops by to return Lulu’s coat and flirts with Maxie, leaving Lulu a bit jealous. Lulu finds money missing from Crimson, and realizes Ethan is the culprit. The two of them continue to bicker and try to one-up one another. When Ethan challenges Lulu to a game of poker to win the money back, Luke is afraid his daughter has gotten in a bit over her head and tries to talk her out of the game.

These breakdowns are accumulated from a various array of sources. Dates and storylines are subject to change.
Ethan
There’s RUMBLINGS of many rewrites going on right now, explaining why Ethan was off-screen for several days. One RUMOR suggests a chunk of scenes hit the cutting room floor that were suppose to give the audience clues to Ethan being a Spencer. We MIGHT have seen Ethan with Lulu and Robin to keep the audience guessing as to who his sister was. However, it is now suggested that rewrites are taking place, and scenes will start picking up. According to the RUMOR, most of the audience did not want Ethan to be Luke’s son. Lulu and Ethan also got good feedback. Now, the change will open the door for a Lulu/Ethan romance.
But WAIT! There’s yet another RUMOR suggesting that Ethan WILL be Luke’s son. It goes on to say Luke cheated on Laura with Holly when she got pregnant. The old time fans of Luke and Laura may not be happy. SO, which is true? I don’t know…but have we should find out soon!
Holly
One thing I do know is Ethan has been taught to scam! If Holly is his mother, what happens when she reaches town? According to one RUMOR, she and Ethan will be involved in a scam to cheat Edward out of a lot of money. The crazy RUMOR goes further to say we will see Holly in a hot tub with Edward, then he has a heart attack. Luke walks in on the chaos, then Lulu and Ethan. Take that one with a grain of salt!
You may notice some of the SPOILER dates do not match up with what happens on your TV set. That too can be attributed to the edits taking place, according to the inside RUMORS.
Morgan
Many of you were not sure what to think of Mercedes showing up yesterday at the Scrubs abode. We did not get an explanation when Carly said “I can help you with that.” Was Morgan with him grandmom, Bobby? Was he in school? OR, are they about to SORAS Morgan, and he will no longer need a nanny? One RUMOR suggests a casting call has gone out for the new Morgan and he will be around the age of 12Hopefully, we will find out soon enough. I’m hearing we should see Mercedes again around April 8th.
Robin’s Suicide Attempt?
We have heard for weeks now that Robin MIGHT attempt suicide around April 3. AND that she begins to have hallucinations. What I’m finding out now is that Robin somehow ends up in the water down by the docks. Patrick will rescue her and take her to Mercy. He later wonders if her near drowning was not an accident at all, but Robin insists she didn’t try to take her own life. Robin also rips up her prescription and is confronted by Patrick. She then reluctantly takes the prescription given to her by the therapist.
Jax & Carly
We’ll see Jax beat himself up over Jerry. He blames himself now for Michael’s condition. Olivia tells Jax he has to get rid of that DVD! Next week, we will see Jax visit Michael and confess his guilt. Could you imagine if Michael woke up and remembered EVERYTHING that all of these characters told him? Anyway, Jax feels so guilty, he does finally destroy the DVD. On the anniversary of Michael’s death, she heads over to the warehouse where she breaks down in Jason’s arms.
Lots more coming! Check back soon.
Robin,
GHOFS
Andrew T. Lee
Yesterday, I had the pleasure of speaking with Andrew T. Lee, Marty of General Hospital. As you know, many of our regular recurring cast members are at jeopardy of loosing their jobs at GH. I appreciate Andrew taking the time to chat with me, and gave high hopes that the GH fans will take this to heart. Here's what the adorable Andrew had to say:
Robin, GHOFS Hi Andrews, thanks for taking the time to chat with me! I'm curious as to how you became the adorable man behind the counter at the Metro Court on General Hospital!
Andrew I moved to Los Angeles from New York City about three years ago. At that time, everyone told me that moving would basically mean that I would have to start all over. Of course I didn’t believe them… until I had to start all over! That’s when I just started pounding the pavement hard. Taking classes. Meeting agents and casting directors. Sending out pictures and postcards. Anything and everything to get my foot in the door, anybody’s door. Eventually, that paid off, and Gwen Hillier (she’s amazing) at General Hospital called me in for an audition. Marty started off as a one-day gig that turned into another and another. Then, when the hostage crisis happened, and I had that famous “McFarty” line, I started working a lot more.
GHOF That's so cool, I totally remember that :) What's it like working so closely with Laura Wright, she seems like such a fun person to work with...
Andrew I can’t rave enough about Laura. Every time anyone asks me about the actors on set, I always talk about how amazing she is. Her emotional availability is astounding, doing scene after scene with total commitment and vulnerability. More often than not, she nails it in just one take. On top of that, she loves to laugh and is extremely generous and gracious. And gorgeous!
GHOFS I believe you, just today I posted an adorable screen-cap of her laughing during a scene with Ingo that is to die for! Andrews, we have been hearing for a while that a number of recurring characters are in jeopardy over at Prospect. Is the is true the character of Marty may not be returning to our screens? I can't imagine the Metro Court without Marty, and I'm sure the fans feel the same way!
Andrew Well, I can’t really speak for any other characters, but Marty seems to be on extended vacation without any word of when he may return.
GHOFS That does NOT sound good! What can we do as a fan of Marty to help keep you on screen!
Write. Write. Write. Fan letters always make a difference! Remember when fan letters saved the CBS show “Jericho” from being canceled? I’d imagine it would be a lot easier to save Marty!

Claudia’s New Plan
Claudia gets into some deep trouble when Sonny knocks on the door after she has poisoned Ric! She distracts Sonny while Johnny and Maxie haul Ric to the hospital. After Ric wakes up in the hospital, he tries to strangle Claudia right there in the hospital room!
Here’s the kicker, Claudia finds out from Ric that he has made a copy of the DVD in the event of his death that would go straight to Sonny! He tries to bribe her into having sex right there in the hospital bed … in these “really gross circumstances” according to Sarah Brown. Claudia lets him know it is not happening. 
Ric’s next plan is to have Claudia spy on Jason and Sonny. This will help Ric with what he needs to give Raynor to put Jason and Sonny away and give himself blanket immunity. Then…he gets control!
Ric’s idea is to convince Claudia that they are better off together. Why would she want to be with someone who can’t forgive you. Be with someone who already understands you!
Claudia asks Johnny to spy on Jason and Sonny. She needs some information until she can think of a plan against Ric. Johnny thinks he may have come up with a better idea, however. By strangling Ric on the spot! Jason walks in and says “don’t let me stop you!”
Who stops him? Little ole’ Claudia who jumps on them and breaks them apart. She has to save her hide! She goest to Sonny and confesses that Ric is blackmailing her and Sonny apologizes to her. He feels bad that she has been dragged into the middle of Ric’s vendetta against him.
Next, Claudia visits Michael and tells him about her plan. This is where we find out Claudia is planning to give Michael a little brother or sister!
“I can have a baby with somebody I'm attracted to and who wants to have a relationship, and is very powerful, and I can run the mafia," says Sarah B. "There's a hope that not only will it save her life, but somehow she can replace what she took away from Sonny in Michael by giving him this other child who will be as important to him as Michael and Carly."
But wait…we may be headed for a who’s the daddy! Wasn’t Claudia sleeping with Ric not so long ago?
"Somebody's gonna get their feelings hurt," teases Brown.
PPD Storyline
In the latest issue of SOW, there’s talk about the PPD storyline controversy among fans. Kimberly McCullough insists however that everything depicted so far is based on reality.
"TV is always extremely exaggerated - especially soap opera - but it's true to the extreme. There are all types of cases of postpartum. You can have it all the way from very mild to very extreme; it just depends on the person.” Says Kimberly. “I have two really good friends who have had it. The strangest thing about postpartum is literally not wanting to hold your baby; not wanting to be close to your baby; not wanting your baby to exist, basically. That's very real."
Kudo’s to Kimberly McCullough for the fantastic work she has accomplished during this storyline!
Rebecca’s Mysterious Caller
Just as we have heard in the RUMORS, Rebecca is going to be receiving mysterious phone calls coming up very soon! The calls are expected to slowly reveal little clues as to who she is talking to. Any guesses?
We were teased a couple of days ago when we found out Jerry would be returning in April. We wondered if Jerry would be in person, or on another DVD. Now SOW is reporting Sebastian Roche returns in person!
Also Coming
Olivia suggests that Jax keep Michael’s shooting a secret from Sonny.

Robin
I receive lots of e-mail about all sorts of things. One thing I have noted lately has been the numerous fans Senta Moses has. Many drop by and take the time to email me about how much they enjoy Senta and her character on General Hospital. One of the questions I get asked the most about characters, specifically Senta is “will she be staying on the show?”
I spoke with Senta this morning and asked her specifically if we should see (Winnie) for a while longer. Here’s what she said:
...And as far as Winnifred sticking around, I think she (Winni) will be in Port Charles for a bit longer. I don't have a definite time line, but they haven't decapitated me in a freak car accident, so that's good!
I also passed along to Senta some kind words one fan had to say about placing Senta Moses on contract at ABC. He felt she certainly should be offered one!
Senta’s reply? “And that guy that wrote you about the contract is my new best friend : )”

Kissing Coming Up?
There’s RUMBLINGS about a conversation that MAY take place between Jason and Sam coming up. The two of them discuss their past relationship including Sam’s willingness to die for Jason if needed. She also says she knows what she did with Ric was wrong and she had no right for being upset that Jason slept with Liz. They MIGHT discuss the breakup at the jail, according to the RUMOR. Sam tells Jason she has grown a lot since they have been apart and has learned to count on herself. She apologizes for putting so much weight on his shoulders when they were together. Jason also apologizes for breaking her heart when he initially broke up with her. The RUMOR continues with Jason forgiving Sam for what she did to Liz and Jake and knows that if she was in hr right mind at the time she would never have done those things.
This conversation SHOULD last a couple of days, and COULD lead to a kiss on the staircase on Jason’s penthouse. Sam initially goes in to kiss Jason, she pulls back and apologizes. But Jason tells her not to apologize because he wanted to, then kisses her. What happens next? According to the RUMOR, they may be interrupted by Maxie.

Patrick arrives back home and shares the news with Elizabeth. He tells her that he is crushed; Elizabeth tells Patrick that having an affair is not uncommon for women with PPD. When Patrick rehashes the fact that Lucky cheated while addicted to drugs, he quickly apologizes telling Elizabeth that he was out of line. Elizabeth tells him that it was a good comparison and she knows exactly how he feels.
After Elizabeth leaves, Patrick has a heart to heart with Emma in which he tells her she will always have him to take care of her; Robin comes home and we see that Patrick is crying. Patrick listens to Robin’s recount of what happened. Robin finally admits to Patrick that when she looked in the mirror she didn’t see Robin Scorpio, Doctor, Wife, Mom and that scared her. In a heartfelt moment, she tells Patrick that she thinks she has PPD and she needs some help.
Rayner tells Jason that there is significant evidence against Spinelli which has now also become evidence against Jason since Spinelli was hacking into government sites for Jason. Diane shows up on Jason’s behalf and tells Rayner that he is reaching. Spinelli is brought into Rayner’s office and is prepared to offer a full confession that he worked alone.

Did you enjoy the devious Jerry Jacks taunting his brother yesterday via video? It brings back memories of why I love Sebastian Roche so much! SOAPNet is reporting the return of Jerry Jacks on April 15th. More details soon.
May Sweeps
What’s coming up in May? RUMOR suggests it’s all about Michael waking up, just as we have speculated for quite some time. We can see it leading to that, huh. We SHOULD have a new Kristina on canvas by then, and she is supposed to be a handful. We saw a tiny hint yesterday when Alexis was speaking to her on the phone about homework. Also coming right before May – Helena! Plus, we MIGHT see a new Spencer. No word yet on what age he will be, but we can’t have Helena on canvas without Spencer being around. Last time, she kidnapped him - remember?
HD
Have you been waiting for GH to come to you in HD? You are in luck - soon we can see our favorite soap in all the HD gloriness!
Scrubs Craziness
Lots of craziness still to come for Scrubs. Patrick will think Robin has slept with another man. Will he turn to Elizabeth? There have been RUMORS flying for a while now that these two will hook up. I haven’t reported them until now, they just seemed silly. However, I’m starting to think it MIGHT happen. Will these two kiss coming up? Patrick DID see his wife kiss another man…Elizabeth is single. It could happen.
Also coming, Patrick learns of a woman who deliberately crashed her car with a baby inside. This freaks him out big-time! When Robin refuses to take meds, or discuss meds, she turns to Sonny for help. Sonny tries to convince Robin that medication has turned his life around, and could do the same for her.
One RUMOR (take it with a big old grain of sea-salt!) has Robin freakin’ out on Liz because a woman in the parks wants to know where Emma’s parents are when she sees Emma and Robin in the park together. This is RUMORED to happen during a SCRUBS separation, (after Robin returns from the institution) causing Robin to go off on both Patrick and Robin. Patrick is RUMORED to defend Liz, causing Robin to become further aggravated.
LOTS of nutty Scrubs RUMORS are flying around…I’ll post a few now and then, and we will see what comes true.
What’s Coming for Ric?
Whatever Claudia has planned for Ric, I do know Sonny will stumble upon his brother passed out in Claudia’s room at the end of this week. Claudia won’t have much luck with her first plan to take care of Ric. 
In the hilarious SPOILER pic of Johnny and Maxie hauling an unconscious Ric around, we learn from Wubs.net he has been drugged and is taken to the hospital.
Ethan
He hasn’t been around for a few days, but have no fears Ethan fans! He’ll be back soon. 
Coming up, Ethan is introduced to Maxie. When Maxie flirts with Ethan, it will get under Lulu’s skin! What’s up with that! Isn’t she dating Johnny? Well, at some point coming up, SPOILERS say Lulu breaks it off with Johnny.
Claudia
Can Claudia cover her tracks? After things go wrong the first time with Ric, she comes up with another plan. Meanwhile, Jax confides in Olivia, and then Kate. He isn’t sure what to do with the information he has learned about Claudia. Carly figures something is up – she is convinced Jax is hiding something. How long will it be before she finds out that Claudia is behind Michael’s shooting? I’ll bet ya all of this info holds off until after Michael wakes up and develops a relationship with Claudia!
PI’s
Sam goes into the PI business, and we soon learn that Spinelli and Winifred will be partners with Sam. There’s a SPOILER saying Winifred looses her FBI position. This could be what opens the door for her and Spin to partner with Sam. We heard yesterday there COULD be fourth partner…remember? Today I’m hearing RUMORS that Jason joins Sam, Spinelli, and Winifred in the PI business. The RUMOR says Jason does NOT give up his position in Sonny’s organization, but he joins them in the PI business after Raynor busts Sam on her first job. Some have speculated the fourth person would be Maxie, but according to the RUMOR this is not the case. Crimson and Megan Ward SHOULD have storyline in May sweeps with Michael’s reveal coming up. With Maxie at Crimson and Spinelli working with Winnie, we can expect to see a resentful and jealous Maxie coming up.
I’m hearing we SHOULD see a lot of Alexis coming up. With the new storyline coming for Kristina, I could see this happening. Also, there are RUMORS that something MIGHT happen to Ric at the end of May and Alexis is involved in some powerful scenes. (Sad and tragic are the words I have seen) What happens to Ric? One nutty RUMOR has Sonny killing him in a few weeks. But NO, there’s another RUMOR saying Johnny kills Ric after he leaves behind damning evidence against Claudia. Johnny must protect Claudia by taking the heat for the shooting. Huh…I don’t think I believe either one of those, but I do know this. If Ric is one of your fav’s, call and/or write GH! Contact info is at the bottom of the page.
Will Brad return to your screen? One RUMOR has him coming back during Patrick and Robin’s separation. The RUMOR says Robin confesses to Brad the truth about not being Nancy. (Curious, how does he find her?) RUMBLINGS say Patrick and Robin agree not to see other people, even though they are separated. They won’t trust each other because Liz and Brad are always lurking around in the background.
Liason Scene?
We COULD have a Liason scene coming up. Here’s the run-down. Jason is RUMORED to see Patrick and Liz together. He is hurt, so he rebounds to Sam. No details, we’ll have to wait (remember these are RUMORS). Later, Jason has regrets when he runs into Liz and she confides everything to him about what is going on with Patrick and Robin.

Jax is watching the video that Jerry has sent to him. In the video Jerry explains how he manipulated Claudia, without thinking of the effect that the DVDs might have on Jax and Carly. Jerry reveals his part in the whole incident and how he persuaded Dr. Devlin to continue with the hit on Sonny after Jerry turned down the hit. Jerry informs Jax that Claudia Zacchara is the one who ordered the hit on Sonny; the hit that caused Michael’s coma. Carly hears voices and asks Jax who he is talking to. Jax immediately hides the DVD. When Carly returns from the shower she swears that she heard Jerry’s voice. Jax changes the subject when he tells her that he received bad news. He claims the problem has to do with zoning. Carly quickly changes the subject back to their vow renewal and celebration.
When Carly says that Jax looks distracted, he quickly refutes the statement. Carly says that they are looking forward and not backwards. When Carly promises never to keep a secret from Jax again, h
e looks uneasy. Later on in the evening when Jax visits the hotel safe to retrieve Carly’s present, he returns to the room to see the DVD missing from the case and Carly’s hand on the remote.
Sonny talks to Jason about the details of the meeting. Jason fidgets with the wire in his tux lining. Agent Rayner is happy with the fact that the reception is clear with no interference. Jason fishes for information for Agent Rayner. When he brings up the business end, Sonny asks him “since when you deal with the books…I don’t want you handling 
it.”
Ric hounds Claudia about the DVD that he discovered. Claudia asks him what he wants in exchange for his silence on the matter. Ric calls his blackmail “creative justice” for the way that Claudia dumped him. Ric tells Claudia that he does not want her killed because killing her will not bring Michael back. He says that he is going to avenge Michael’s death. Claudia tells him to cut to the chase; what does he want? Ric kisses Claudia and tells her to look at Ric as the man who holds her life in his hands. He then leaves the room.
Elizabeth shows up at Patrick and Robin’s house to babysit Emma as a favor to Patrick. Patrick tells Elizabeth that Robin has been located in Rochester, NY and that Max wants to be the one to bring her home. Patrick tells Liz that he wants to be the one to bring her home and his reason for not running out the door after her is because of his frustration and his reluctance to hear her explanations and denials. Elizabeth helps Patrick determine that he needs to leave the house and go get Robin otherwise nothing is going to get better.
Elizabeth compares Patrick’s situation with Robin to her situation with Lucky when Lucky was addicted to drugs. She acknowledges that they are two different situations, but they have their similarities. She tells Patrick not to attack her when he says he doesn’t want to resent Robin for something she cannot help. When Patrick tells Elizabeth that he wants to be a family again, Elizabeth tells him to go get his wife. Patrick leaves in search of Robin. However, when he arrives in Rochester, he sees Robin kissing Brad.
Robin and Brad are hanging out in the hotel room. Robin tells Brad that she wasn’t expecting anything from the trip, but Brad was a rather nice surprise. Robin and Brad continue to flirt in the room. Robin tells Brad that she likes order in her life but she is trying to be more spontaneous. They kiss. Robin pulls herself away from Brad as they get more intimate on the bed. Robin tells Brad that she hasn’t been fair to anyone, including Brad. Brad tells Robin that she is coming off her “breakup” rather hard. Robin tells Brad that she found the one and had her life in order. She says that she woke up one day and decided that all of the choices she’s made have been the wrong ones and she feels as though she is drowning. As he leaves her room, Robin tells him that she is sorry for the way she has behaved; he deserves better. Brad says he is not complaining. They kiss goodbye as Patrick arrives and sees them.
Johnny is on his way out the door to attend the Summit at Sonny’s house. He explains that all of the business representatives from the Zacchara family are going to be there. Lulu does not understand why Johnny wants to be there; he is supposed to be out of the mob. Maxie arrives home just as Johnny is walking out and tells Lulu to be more compassionate. Maxie and Lulu share the Pad Thai as they discuss the situation with Johnny and the mob. Lulu says she does not care if he is in the mob, as long as he owns up to it. When Maxie tells her to be more understanding, Lulu is shocked. She asks how Maxie knows more about Johnny than she does.
Spinelli returns home and looks defeated. He says that he is not sure that he can be saved and it is certain that Maxie will…he stuffs an eggroll in his mouth to prevent leaking the secret. Lulu is suspicious.
Spinelli is disguised as a janitor in an attempt to locate the flash drive that contains the evidence. When he and Winnifred are about to sit down and log into Rayner’s computer, they are interrupted; they both dive under the desk in an attempt to hide when the door suddenly opens. Sam is the person who opened the door after she stole the agent’s ID. She tells Spinelli that she cannot destroy the evidence against him without the help from him and Winnifred.
Representatives from all of the families show up as Jason is talking to Sonny about business dealings. When Ric ventures over to Sonny and Jason, Jason is not pleased with his presence. Ric tells Sonny that Jason needs to make a public show of stepping down so that no issues arise as to whom is really in charge. Claudia makes her entrance and immediately gravitates to Sonny’s arm when she sees Ric. Ric tells Jason to make his statement and Jason bumps into Ric spilling Ric’s drink all over his suit, purposely ruining his wire.
Jason receives a call from Rayner telling him to get to his office now. When accosted by Rayner, Jason tells him that he couldn’t control the direction of the conversation. Rayner says that he is widening the search for Spinelli as a result of Jason’s lack of cooperation.
When Johnny shows up, Claudia is grateful, as long as Johnny is not there to tell Sonny to divorce her. She explains that Ric has something on her but she is very vague. The conversation is interrupted by Sonny’s announcement that the Corintho’s organization is merging with the Zacchara organization. Jason announces his step-down. When Johnny says that he has a statement on behalf of the Zacchara organization, Claudia looks worried. Her worry is for naught as Johnny tells everyone he has full faith in Sonny’s abilities.
Ric corners Sonny after the party and tells him he has information that Sonny will want to hear.
