- Monica arrives home at the Quartermaine mansion, and sits in front of the computer...waiting for any sign for Kevin to sign on. She waits patiently, while also looking around to see if anyone is about to come into the study. Kevin finally signs on and IMs Monica, asking how her day was. They begin talking about the packages she’s been receiving. Kevin tells her not to worry about it. They can easily prove the photos were photo shopped.

- At Club Evolution, Carly excuses herself to go talk to Jason. Nikolas tries to grab Carly before she does something stupid.

Carly: Wow, Jason…..I’m glad to see you’re out and about. How are you feeling?

Jason: I’m doing good Carly. I see you’re here with Nikolas. I hope you’re having a good time.

Carly: We’re having a great time. Anyways, see you around.

Liz grabs Carly by the shoulder and is angry that she didn’t acknowledge her.

“So you’re just going to act like I’m not here?” she snaps. “Don’t you dismiss me Carly.”

Nikolas grabs Carly but she snatches her arm away. “Now you listen here bitch. I didn’t acknowledge you because I had no intention of speaking to you. I’d much rather ignore you than fight with you. But….since you feel that you must speak to me….” Carly stops talking and gears up her sarcastic tone.

“How are you doing Liz? Are you feeling good? I hope you are. How’s Lucky? Oh yeah, that’s right…you wouldn’t know.”

“Carly that’s enough,” interrupts Jason. “Just let it go.”

“I don’t understand you Elizabeth. You claim that you want Lucky back, yet you’re out here with Jason. Those actions don’t seem like those of a woman who wants her husband back,” says Nikolas. “Maybe you should start acting like Lucky is who you want.”

“Maybe Nikolas, you should mind your own business. Jason and I are friends. I can hang out with my friends anytime I want to. You don’t see me questioning your taste in friends do you.”

Nikolas smiles at his sister-in-law, making sure he doesn’t say anything to hurt her feelings. “Carly is more than just a friend to me. I happen to like her very much. But unlike you Liz, I’m not married. I’m not working on trying to get the love of my life back.” He turns to Jason and apologizes. “I’m sorry we interrupted your evening.”

Carly wave’s bye to Jason as Nikolas takes her to the VIP area of the club.

In another area of the club…..

- Dillon is sits at the bar, twirling his straw in his drink. He begins to flashback to his fantasy that he had with Lucas. He snaps out of it and is startled when someone puts their hand and on his shoulder. He looks up and notices Lucas and Brandon standing together. Lucas wonders what is wrong with Dillon and apologizes for startling him. Dillon says that it is ok, and he had a lot on his mind. He then tells Lucas he is glad to see him.

Lucas then reveals to Brandon, that he and Bobbie finally had a revelation about their relationship, and they are both on their way to reconciling their differences. Dillon couldn't be happier for Lucas (not letting Brandon know that he found out from Lucas the day before), and gives him a hug. Dillon melts in Lucas’ arms. After feeling too comfortable, Dillon suddenly backs away, and makes his apologies as he storms out of the building. Dillon starts to breathe heavily.

Dillon: (sighs) Oh, man....what the hell is going on with me?

Maxie: (walks up behind him): I think I can answer that.

- At the lakehouse, Alexis is sitting on her couch looking at a picture of Sam. She begins thinking to herself how she never had the chance to get to know Sam, and wish that things were different where everyone is concerned. Ric walks in and sees Alexis staring at the photo, and walks up to her and hugs/kisses her.

Ric: You have got to relax.

Alexis: How can I do that, Ric? I have not been able to get my mind off of things lately. I lost so much time in the last few months...let alone YEARS...to get to know Sam. Now she's gone. Makes you wonder.

Ric: Wonder what?

Alexis: What life has in store? You never know when it will be your last, so you should...

Ric: (finishes Alexis' sentence)...live it to the fullest. It's a good thing you thought that, because what would you say if I told you I was able to set your mind at ease?

Alexis: Just how exactly are you going to do that? Reversing time is certainly not an option.

Ric: (laughs) No, but a vacation is definitely in order.

Alexis: (sternly) No, Ric. I have so much work to do at the office. I mean, there are many cases that I have to follow up on, and the time...the deadlines...they are all...

Ric: Alexis... (Grabs her so she can stop feeling incredibly rampant)...You have got to stop this. Listen to me. I know what has happened is going to remain with you, but that doesn't mean you have to spend every waking minute drowning your sorrows in work. You need to get away, which is why I have plane tickets to Greece in my briefcase. We are all set to leave tonight.

Alexis: (uneasy) I don't know....I mean, I cannot get up and leave Kristina....

Ric: Kristina will be with us. I’m sure Sonny wouldn’t mind her spending some time in the place that is a part of her heritage. And don't try to weasel out of this either. This is coming to you. And just maybe you will finally be able to lose that stress that you have been feeling. So...what do you say?

Alexis starts to smile and tells him yes, that she will go to Greece with him. The two embrace in a kiss, and Alexis hugs him, hoping that this may be the vacation that she has been longing for to help ease her mourning.

- Back at the Quartermaine’s, Monica tells Kevin that he was the only thing on her mind the entire time of her shift. And keeping this secret from Alan is tearing her up inside, however it is such a relief to finally find someone who appreciates her for who she is and shows her love and support.

Kevin replies that he is always there for her whenever she needs it, and Monica wants to set up another date after work. Kevin suggests they meet up on Christmas Eve to spend some time together. Monica agrees and mentions that would make her Christmas Eve a lot happier. that he will get back to her on a day, but to look for it in the coming week ahead. Monica smiles, and sends him an icon of a smiley face, just as Alan enters the room. He starts to ask her what she is doing, but Monica answers him with how it is none of his business what she does and to butt out. She then shuts off the computer and storms out the study to her room.

- Back at the Club, Lucky walks in after a long day at work with some buddies of his. He spends less than 5 minutes there, before he leaves suddenly. He peeks back in through the window and sees Liz & Jason slow dancing to the song “Anytime” being sung by Brian McKnight on stage. Lucky shakes his head in disgust and leaves the premises.

Also lurking around is Sam!!! She sneaks her way around the back of the club and also witnesses Jason & Liz dancing slowly. She can’t help but stare at the two of them. While doing so, she flashes back to the man choosing that woman over her. For some reason Sam can’t put two and two together, but is angry inside at what she sees.

Elsewhere, Nikolas & Carly stare deeply into each others eyes. Carly thanks Nikolas for such a wonderful time and wishes the night doesn’t have to end. Nikolas invites her to come back to Wyndemere with him to enjoy each other’s company. Carly takes him up on it. They grab their belongings and leave the club.

On the next GH: Secrets & Lies-

- Maxie is happy that she’s getting under Dillon’s skin
