Michael Goes to Sonny's

Kristina proves to be a horrible driver, but she manages to get Michael over to Sonny's house. When she gets home, Jason gets her to admit Michael's location. She's furious with Jason because she hadn't meant to tell him.

Sonny is affected by Claudia talking to the baby. He doesn't seem as uncaring as previously about her leaving. She informs him that she's had it. She can't take him being nice one minute and suspicious the next.

Sonny now wants her to stay. Claudia needs some rules set: no more suspicions about whether or not the baby is his; no more visits from Ric, Olivia, or Carly and - she's not able to finish her list of demands. Michael enters and asks if he can stay there.

Carly bristles when Jason advises her to let Michael go, stating that the last time Jason told her that, Michael was shot. She apologizes immediately; Jason comments that he just wants her to give Michael a little leeway. Sonny calls and tells her that Michael is at his place, and she's out of her house in a second. She begs Sonny to make Michael return to her place. Sonny isn't so sure - he didn't last there very long.

Meanwhile, Claudia and Michael have gone for a walk on the grounds. Michael tells Claudia that she's the only one who "gets him." Where have we heard that before. He confesses that he's nervous about how he blows up, and it frightens him. He also mentions that his mother annoys him. Claudia suggests that he act as if he's obeying his parents.

When they return to the house, it's been decided that Michael will leave with Carly. Michael looks to Claudia for guidance. Given her current situation, she has no choice but to take Sonny's side. There goes that friendship.

Johnny Plays the Piano

Johnny shows up at Jake's and is surprised to see that Coleman is trying to class up the place with a new piano. Johnny starts playing, and Alexis enters and has a drink. Coleman doesn't particularly like the music - it's classical - but it's definitely moved Jake's up a level.

Alexis is there to meet Diane and ask her to drop the malpractice suit against Matt. Diane has no intention of doing that, reminding Alexis that if she discredits Mayor Floyd, Alexis has a good chance of being elected. Alexis knows that the Mayor has some hot info on her and remarks that it's not a good idea to sue. But Diane is firm - she's taking the case.

Spinelli and Maxie enter the offices of McCall/Jackal, with Spinelli walking as if he's John Wayne after riding for 12 hours straight on a horse. He's in agony from his body buff. Maxie is very excited that they've learned that Giselle is blackmailing Kate. She talks Spinelli into taking a break. There's a shadow standing at the door, but they don't notice it.

When Spinelli and Maxie arrive at Jake's, they're shocked - there's Johnny tickling the ivories! Spinelli is instantly jealous. A despondent Matt enters next and reminds Maxie that she owes him a date for attending a Crimson event with her. She brushes him off, and Spinelli moves in to push him away from her, and ends up on the floor. Johnny helps Spinelli up, which infuriates Spinelli. Maxie throws water in Matt's face. Matt pushes Spinelli, and he veers right into Johnny at the piano. Johnny's had it - he goes after Matt. Meanwhile, Diane is taking all of this in.

At GH, Patrick feels terrible because he didn't do Brianna's surgery. Robin points out that she pushed him into going to the park with her and Emma - she should feel just as terrible. Patrick receives an emergency call from Coleman - Matt is in a bar fight, and he's being beaten to a pulp.
