At Jason's penthouse, Carly demands that Hannah hand over Michael and leave. Just as things get heated, Jason interrupts and asks Hannah to take Michael to Sonny's. When she notices the redecorated apartment, Carly is very hurt that Jason has not only let Hannah into Michael's life, but also into his. She accuses him of betrayal, which he flatly refutes. Jason then tells her that this is not her home and that she has no right to barge into his house whenever it pleases her. Carly threatens to take Michael and never return once she is free of AJ When Jason tells her that she is welcome to move into the penthouse whenever she would like because she is Michael's mother, Carly says that she could never live with Jason and his bimbo. She then claims that she and AJ will eventually sue for full custody and win, and then she will never return to Jason and his little slut.
In the penthouse across the hall, Benny urges Sonny to retaliate against Moreno. Sonny says that he'll handle things but to leave Jason out of it. As Benny tells Sonny that Moreno won't quit until Sonny is out of the picture, Hannah enters. The men stop talking and Benny leaves Hannah and Michael with Sonny. Sonny feeds Michael some spaghetti before taking him upstairs to bed. Sonny then thanks Hannah for her efforts with the toddler and it is evident that he expects her to leave. Hannah, however, turns towards him and refuses to be dismissed. As she expresses dismay at their sometimes loving, sometimes estranged relationship, Sonny pulls her into a kiss. He then tells her that things have changed, but Hannah replies that it is up to her whether or not to remain in this precarious relationship.
At his club, Luke promises Felicia that there is something mischievous that necessitates revelation in Edward and Lila's love letters. He believes that love is never flawless and that a deep secret is waiting to be discovered. Felicia argues that she must always know every secret, but on the other hand, she doesn't want to hurt Lila. Luke urges her to trust her instincts and Felicia agrees before leaving to meet Mac.
Elsewhere, Faison and Helena watch as Lucky destroys his room. The Cassadine matriarch tells her partner in crime (and perhaps something a bit more amorous) that he should never underestimate Lucky because he is Luke's son. She then tells Faison that she has great plans in the making.
In the Quartermaine gazebo, Jax introduces himself to Chloe. They discuss the crazy Quartermaines as Jax inspects Chloe's broken heel. After he successfully repairs Miss Morgan's shoe, the two share a dance. Upon the conclusion of the dance, the two shed shoes and run barefoot across the South Lawn.
In the den, Edward warns Lila that Luke and Felicia pose a danger to their secret. Lila pleads with her husband not to worry so much and he promises not to allow anyone to ever hurt her.
Carly having left, Benny goes to Jason with the news of the car bomb, despite Sonny's order to the contrary. Benny then tells Jason that retaliation is necessary and Jason contends that he and Sonny will take care of the situation. After Benny departs, Jason goes across the hall, where he brings Michael downstairs. Hannah leaves, providing Jason with an opportunity to inquire as to Sonny's state of being. Not getting the desired response, Jason takes Michael and returns to his penthouse.
In the Quartermaine foyer, Edward asks Ned if he has seen Chloe, and at the exact same moment, she and Jax enter, soaking wet. Chloe thanks Jax for the rescue and then bids everyone farewell. Edward demands to know what Jax told Chloe, but when Jax won't say a word, he and Ned return to the engagement party. Chloe then sneaks back downstairs to thank Jax one last time before he leaves.
Carly returns to the Quartermaine mansion and is promptly discovered by AJ, who is quite upset that his fiancée did not bother to attend her own engagement party. Carly, who appears more disheveled than a rain-soaked Chloe, tells AJ that the evening was just too overwhelming for her.

Today's recap was provided by LittleLeLe
Luke's
Sonny comes to Luke to confess that he was right about Moreno. His men had
found an explosive devise in one of the cars meant for Sonny and Moreno was
not going to give up until he killed him. The only options left for him were
to run or take back his territory and he wasn't running.
Kelly's
As Jason and Emily have lunch with Michael, Jason explains that although
Emily has every reason to hate Carly, it hurts Michael in the process. Emily
says that she doesn't know what to do. Stop hating Carly - Michael
understands more than people think and he can feel when things are uneasy,
Jason says. "I'm the one asking for the favor, he's the one you'd be doing
it for."
Quartermaines'
Edward begins fishing with AJ about the arrangements of the wedding -- is
everything in order? Does he have the ring? Has he planned the honeymoon?
Well, all that's left is that Prenup! AJ explains his plan to Edward to wait
until the last moment when Carly will be thinking about other things. He
will then slip the pen in her hand and she will sign or he will threaten to
cancel the wedding. Edward reminds AJ that this is all a good test to see
how he will be able to handle tough situations at ELQ and that he better not
screw this one up.
Carly sits and stares at her picture of Jason and Michael longingly. Bobbie stops in to check up on her. She tells her mother that she was unsure that she was going to make it -- since she was against the wedding. Bobbie says that she wouldn't have missed her daughters wedding -- especially when she is doing something so difficult as marrying one man when she loves another. Carly tells Bobbie that she can leave now that she has made her appearance. Bobbie tells Carly that she's not getting rid of her that easily - I love you and I will be here for you. I can see how much you love Jason. I can see it when your alone together with Michael. I saw it when you got jealous of the waitress at Luke's. So what, I love Jason but he doesn't love me - Carly exclaims! He promises that he will always take care of me and that he will always provide for me, that I will always be welcome in his home, and that he will give me all the money in the world but he can't make her his perfect angel. AJ's different. He thinks I am his angel. Bobbie asks if she has told Jason her feelings to which Carly explains that she has done more than that -- she has shown him. He always says the same things - Carly we're friends.
Luke's
Moreno will know that Sonny will be coming -- all of his defenses will be up.
Luke offers his help but is refused by Sonny. I'm OK, but we are friends --
at least Moreno thinks we're fiends. I will do everything in my power to let
you know of anything coming your way, Sonny says. Luke matter of factly
tells Sonny that it has always come his way and the reason their partnership
worked was because Sonny took care of out there and Luke took care of in
here. He doesn't have any confidence in Sonny anymore.
Quartermaines'
Carly tells Bobbie that AJ wants to one up Jason by becoming Carly's husband
and showing the world he is Michael's father. And more than that he gets to
be CEO of ELQ. Bobbie asks why she is still going through with this if she
knows all of these things? For Michael - marrying AJ opens them up to so
many opportunities and the risk is worth it. Bobbie leaves to go check in
with Monica.
AJ comes to Alan to get help with his cufflinks. Alan gives him the Cufflinks that he wore the night he married Monica. He then apologizes for not bringing AJ up right -- for not loving him liked he deserved -- for not believing in him and trusting him. AJ asks why he did then. Alan explains that Monica had been having an affair with Rick Webber at the time of AJ's conception and he was unsure of the paternity. Once he found out that AJ was indeed his he had just continued to hold a grudge against this innocent baby. Jason was a new beginning -- he focused on Jason and allowed AJ to find his own way without guidance. Once the problems started it became easier to blame AJ. Alan admits that nothing he can ever say will make how he acted OK but every moment they spend together now makes Alan love AJ even more. He is so proud of how he fought for Michael when so many would have given up. He is so proud of how he overcame his addiction. He is so proud of how hard he has worked in ELQ and how he has proven himself. He is proud that he is his son. AJ begins weeping uncontrollably and says that -- that is all he ever wanted to hear.
Jason and Emily bring Michael home. Emily thanks Jason for making things so much easier for her. Leticia comes in to take Michael for his nap. Jason looks around at all of the flowers and looks upstairs to see Carly watching him. Their eyes lock for a moment -- then Carly turns away and walks back to her room (obviously hurt). Carly walks back to the banister as Jason leaves. Bobbie is arranging the dress when Carly comes back into her room. She gives her a gift f a monogrammed handkerchief with CQ - saying you never know when a bride needs a good cry.
Luke's
Hannah interrupts Luke and Sonny to get her paycheck. Luke excuses himself.
Hannah and Sonny make arrangements to have dinner together.
Quartermaines'
Carly looks beautiful in her gown. Bobbie tells her that when she gave her
up so many years ago she never thought she would have the privilege of being
part of her wedding day. She tells Carly that she hopes this is the start of
something beautiful. Carly daydreams about her times with Jason, in bed together, their last kiss. She is interrupted by Lila who
came to bring her a gift of diamond and sapphire necklace and earrings. She
tells Carly that she was part of the Quartermaine family when she had Michael
and now they were making it official. Carly confides to Lila that she is a
mess and asks if she was as nervous on her wedding day? Lila tells Carly
that she was excited because she knew she was marrying the only man for her.
Downstairs - Ned arrives at the soon to be wedding and tells Edward that this
si a show of lunacy. Edward threatens Ned about ELQ and says that AJ has
full intention on taking over and he better watch out for his job. Jax,
Alexis, and V arrive and Chloe comes downstairs. She innocently flirts with
Jax who introduces her to Jerry who arrives soon after. Katherine arrives to
have Ned berate her and say that Carly could give her some pointers on how to
con a man into marriage.
Carly finishes prepping with her new diamonds in toe as AJ comes in with the prenuptial agreement. If this is an ultimatum, Carly says, she'll get out of this dress right now. AJ tries to explain that it's for Edward - it will show him that AJ can get what he wants at all costs. Being CEO of a company like ELQ brings the power and prestige few will ever encounter. He is not asking her to do this for him -- but for their family.
Jake's
Jason is shooting pool when Hannah shows up and challenges him to a game.
Quartermaines'
At the mansion, Felicia and Mac show up just in time. Monica and Bobbie talk
about how all of these years they are going to be family. AJ comes
downstairs totally calm and collected. Monica tells AJ that although she
hasn't supported them she will back him 100%. Emily compliments AJ on how he
nice he looks. She tells him that she loves him very much -- she just
doesn't always agree with him. As AJ waits at the front of the room for
Carly, Edward tries to get his attention to find out about the prenuptial
agreement. Lila stops him and says that AJ has important things to be
thinking about. Carly comes downstairs - Bobbie hugs her and tells her that
she loves her and wants the best in life for her. The bridal music begins -
Carly stands still in the archway of the door.
Despite Stefan's concerns, Laura decided to return to work at the hospital. While there, a vicious Helena taunted Laura about Lucky's death. After finding Nikolas waiting for her at the hospital, Liz warned Nikolas that he couldn't take Lucky's place in her life. Liz, however, later apologized for her outburst and Nikolas asked her to design the t-shirt for the Nurses Ball. Jason explained to Hannah the reasons for his loyalty to Carly. Meanwhile, Carly and AJ exchanged wedding vows and promised to love each other. Jason predicted that Carly's marriage would end in disaster. Felicia and Luke were almost caught when they attempted to steal Lila's love letters. Edward was enraged when he learned that Carly hadn't signed the pre-nuptial agreement before marrying AJ. Hannah was surprised when she returned to her room and found a man waiting there for her.

Hannah is alone in her apartment with the mystery man. She informs him that she asked him not to come back. The man reminds Hannah that she also told him that she would stay in touch. The man agrees to leave after Hannah reluctantly promises to keep in touch every other day.
Carly acts happy when Katherine presents her with a gift certificate for a day at the spa as a wedding gift. She "suggests" that Carly use it right away. Not that Carly isn't attractive, she needs a little style. Katherine also helpfully suggests to Carly that she make something of herself if she ever wants to be more than an ex-Quartermaine wife. Carly says that she has been a Quartermaine wife for exactly 90 minutes and has no intention of being an ex anything. As Katherine walks away, AJ walks up. Carly says that she is ready to go as soon as the guests leave. AJ says that guests are waiting for them to leave. When Carly asks where they are going, AJ explains that he booked the honeymoon suite at the PC hotel. Carly gives AJ a weak smile, but looks less than thrilled.
Felicia arrives in Luke's office and is horrified when she realizes that Luke is marking up Edward's letters to correct the grammatical errors. Luke is laughing hysterically as he continues to make fun of the letters and make notes in the margins.
At GH, Helena continues to taunt Laura about Lucky's death. Laura tells Helena to get out of her way. Helena tells Laura that she is in her own way. She always has been. All the agony she could have saved herself. The years she dreamed of the revenge she would take on Laura for the death of her son and husband. Laura angrily asks Helena why she is still here. Why hasn't someone killed her? Helena laughs and says that she should have trusted fate She should have trusted that the universe would right it's own wrong. She should have trusted that Laura's own selfishness and vanity would leave her more alone, take a more bitter toll than she ever could have. Laura's husband wants nothing to do with her treachery. Her son died because she drove him away with her lies and deception. Drove him in the streets to live. Laura calls Helena a sick, evil bitch and tells her to stop. As Stefan walks up, Laura loses her self control. She grabs Helena by the neck and starts shaking her. (I know I was shouting "You Go Girl" at the TV. It's about time someone strangled that old hag!) Stefan pulls Laura off of Helena and calmly tells her to stop.
Laura tries to lunge at Helena again, but Stefan physically restrains her. She finally collapses against Stefan's chest in tears. As Stefan tries to comfort her Laura tells Helena that the biggest regret of her life is that she didn't kill Helena in her sleep when she had the chance.
Felicia can't believe that Luke has defiled the letters. Luke says that defiled is a little strong. Felicia is delighted when Luke tells her that he made copies and replaced the originals in Lila's study so that they wouldn't be missed.
AJ tells Carly that they can leave any time they want. As they continue to talk, Emily walks up and interrupts. She politely tells Carly that the wedding was nice and that Carly looks beautiful. Carly gives Emily a look and says that Emily must mean that she looks beautiful for a money grubbing slut. Emily smiles as Carly walks away to join Bobbie. After Carly is gone, AJ tells Emily that he appreciates that she is trying to be nice. He just hopes that she understands that Carly can hold a grudge. Emily says that she can be stubborn so it should be interesting.
The remaining wedding guests suddenly head for the door en masse. AJ wonders what is going on and Emily sarcastically comments that the cake must be gone. Before everyone can get out the door, Bobbie stops them saying that Carly has to throw her bouquet. All the single women reluctantly gather in the hall while Carly makes an unimpassioned speech about wishing whoever catches the bouquet a bright future.
Hannah has prettied herself up and gone to meet Sonny for dinner. Sonny tells her twice that she looks beautiful. Hannah laughs and says that she knows she has his attention when he says everything twice. Like he is trying to make sure that he has her attention. Hannah comments that they are in an interesting restaurant. She didn't even know it was there. Sonny says that he likes it there because noone bothers him. Hannah teasingly asks if she can bother him since she was invited.
At the Q's, Alan tells Edward, Lila and Monica that he has never had a prouder moment as a parent. Edward asks Alan if he is back on drugs. Monica chastises Edward for harassing Alan, but changes her tune when she finds out that Carly never signed a prenuptial agreement. Alan defends AJ even in this saying that maybe it is just AJ's way of letting Edward know that he isn't under Edward's thumb after all. V interrupts the conversation to introduce the new Mr. and Mrs. AJ Quartermaine. AJ and Carly walk down the stair and out the door while the guests shower them with rice. Once they are gone, Monica, Alan and Edward sit on the stairs together looking somewhat dazed, but relieved.
At GH, Stefan holds Laura while she continues to sob hysterically saying that Helena was right. She is a bad mother. She didn't protect Lucky. She should have found a way to make him come home. She collapses in Stefan's arms crying even harder. A nurse cautiously approaches Stefan and asks if she should get a doctor. Stefan says that she should.
Sonny tells Hannah that it is a long time since he has had dinner with a woman. Hannah says that she is officially an honest woman. She explains that she has been trying to save up enough money to pay back Jake for the money she stole. She tells Sonny that she went to Jakes to make the first payment and ended up beating Jason at pool. Sonny is surprised that Hannah was able to beat Jason since he never has. Hannah laughs and tells Sonny that maybe he isn't as good as he thought he was.
In Luke's office, Felicia continues to read through Edward's letters. Luke listens as Felicia reads and makes sarcastic comments about the sappiness of the letters. Felicia thinks the letters are sweet, but Luke says that the letters don't seem like Edward. He doesn't think that Edward had to work that hard to win Lila's affections. His theory is that Edward was the same control freak than that he is now and that the letters were Edward's first grab for power. As Felicia considers Luke's theory she imagines Edward and Lila dancing in their younger days (a black and white scene with Luke and Felicia as Edward and Lila). The dance is very romantic, but the imagined Edward is giving a thumbs up sign to someone standing in the doorway as he dances. Coming out of her daydream, Felicia suddenly shouts no, startling Luke. He asks if she always has these delayed reactions.
At the Q's, Edward says that he wants this wretched day to be over and for everyone to disappear. Alan says that he tried to disappear, but they all wanted him back. Alan leaves saying that he is going to bed before Monica can lock them out. Monica says no way, she is going to bed first and they leave the room arguing good naturedly.
At the hotel, AJ starts to carry Carly over the threshold, but she tells him that he really doesn't have to. Carly is surprised when she walks into the honeymoon suite and finds chilled champagne and a bag that one of the maids packed for her. Carly looks a little nervous (probably at the thought of actually going through with the wedding night) and says that she is worried about Michael. AJ dismisses her concerns over Michael saying that he is fine with Leticia and probably doesn't even miss them. AJ proposes a toast to their future and the family they are going to make.
After the toast, Carly tells AJ that she was a little more tired than she thought. AJ tells her to take it easy on the champagne. He tells Carly that she was a beautiful bride. He says that he is going to take a shower and than he will draw her a warm bath and give her a backrub. He kisses her and goes into the bathroom. Once he is gone, Carly dumps the champagne into the flower pot and lays down on the bed as if she has passed out. She sits up thinking what if AJ wants to undress dress her. She looks in her suitcase and finds only lingerie. She decides to leave him a note and sneaks out of the hotel room.
At Luke's, Felicia tells Luke that he is right. She isn't thinking about the Edward they know today. She is thinking that life changes people and it probably changed Edward. Those letters are a part of Edward that got lost along the way. She refuses to believe that the letters were written by a man with emotional larceny in his heart. Luke says that he is going to go out into the club for a minute to check on his employees, but promises to be right back. While he is gone, Felicia has another black and white fantasy about Edward and Lila (played by her and Luke). She imagines them dancing and Edward telling Lila that he didn't know what he was born for until he met her. They come dangerously close to kissing, and continue to dance. As Felicia's dream ends, Luke walks back into his office wearing hip waders. He thought he might need them. Felicia laughs at Luke's shenanigans and says that she really must go. She takes half the letters and leaves the other half for Luke. They agree to compare notes tomorrow. After she leaves, Luke puts his feet up on the desk and laughs at his outfit. He says to himself that it's a look.
At the Q's, all of the guests have gone home and Chloe has wandered downstairs barefoot in search of her shoes. As she looks under tables and behind chairs, Jax sneaks up behind her and asks her if she is looking for the shoes that he is dangling from his finger.
Chloe is delighted when she sees Jax and teases him about being the shoe fairy. Jax asks when she is leaving and Chloe explains that she had plans to leave tomorrow, but she has received several urgent messages from a Lucy Coe. Jax smiles and explains that it must be about the nurses ball which Lucy had made her personal crusade. He assures Chole that if Lucy has anything to say about it, she won't be going anywhere. Chloe laughs and says that if her shoes could talk, they would all breathe a sigh of relief. Jax smiles and says goodbye. As Chloe watches him leave, she smiles to herself and then looks up at the ceiling and tells her Aunt Eleanor that she is only thinking that the man is interesting.
At GH, Laura has been installed in a hospital room and given a sedative. She is worried about Lesley Lu, but Stefan assures her that Lulu is fine. She wants to go home, but Stefan tells her that she needs her rest. Laura sleepily asks Stefan to stay with her.
Luke is putting something in his safe when he hears a knock on his office door. Thinking it's Felicia he tells her to go away and that he hasn't burned the letters yet. The door opens and Faison/Herr Krieg enters the room. Faison asks Luke if he is surprised to see him. Luke says that he doesn't surprise that easily. Faison tells Luke that he knows why he is there.
At the PC Hotel, AJ is not happy when he comes out of the bathroom and discovers Carly's note. Meanwhile, Carly arrives at the penthouse in search of Jason. When she realizes that he isn't home, she says to herself that she is in big trouble. She doesn't think that she can do this. She lies down on the couch to wait for Jason.
