It’s the day after Christmas. The episode will be told in flashbacks as it deals with the fallout from important happenings in the previous episode. Those featured in the episode include The Quartermaines, Monica/Lucy/Kevin and Brandon & Lucas.

- GH begins in the old house of Kevin Collins. He walks around the empty place remembering his life with Lucy. Damn….why’d she have to come back? Why couldn’t she just leave well enough alone? He flashes back to the night before when she walked in on he and Monica:

Kevin sighs, then remembers the old saying of how to loosen things up. “Hey Monica, remember the expression for stuff like this. It’s ‘Righty tighty, lefty loosey.”

“Oh ok, let me see if I’ve got it now.”

The door to their hotel room opens, but they are too caught up in their own mess to notice.

“Come on Monica. Righty tighty, lefty….Lucy?”

Monica gives out a high pitched ‘yay’ as the handcuffs finally come off. She looks up at Kevin and notices the shocked look on his face. Monica slowly turns around and sees Lucy Coe standing in their room!!”

Kevin then walks upstairs to where he and Lucy’s bed used to be. Kevin flashes back to a time when he and Lucy made love all over the room, then flashes back to him making love to Monica, then flashes back to what happened after Lucy walked in:

“Well doc…..nice to see you too,” snipes Lucy putting her pocketbook down. “I come back to visit you and..and…try to rekindle what we lost and I walk in and find you and Monica Quartermaine?”

“Lucy…..I…” Kevin’s voice trails off. He looks away embarrassed.

Monica begins putting on her top. “It’s not what you think Lucy. Kevin and I were just—”

“Just what,” interrupts Lucy. “Having sex?”

- At the Quartermaines, Monica & Alan sits in the living room with Edward, Skye and the newly revealed not to be dead, AJ. They all sit around staring at each other. Alan grabs AJ’s hand and flashes back to the night before:

After the shock of seeing AJ (played by Dan Gauthier) begins to wear off, Alan grabs him by the shoulders, stares into his eyes and gives him a big hug. Edward is speechless and doesn’t walk near him. Tracy rolls her eyes, and then takes off upstairs. Ned just shakes his head and can’t wait to hear AJ’s excuse for faking his death (yet again) and his excuse for coming back. Skye gives him a big hug, and then slaps him across the face.

“Ok, maybe I deserved that,” AJ says while grabbing his face. “It’s good to see you too sis.”

“I could kill you right now,” she remarks.

“Well that would kind of defeat the purpose of me coming back now wouldn’t it?”

“Don’t you make any jokes Alan Quartermaine Jr.,” replies Edward. “You owe us a damn explanation and it had better be good.”

“Father, I think we should just wait and let him explain.” Alan walks Edward over to the den.

“Let him explain what Alan?” Monica walks in from outside and sees AJ. “Oh my god.”

“Hello Mom.”

“AJ? Oh my god. Oh my god! How are you, why are you…..”

“I’ll explain everything mom. I promise.”

Elsewhere…..

- Brandon wakes up with Lucas in his arms. He gently strokes Lucas’ chest. He kisses him on the forehead. Brandon slowly eases himself out of bed, being careful not to wake Lucas up from his sleep. After putting on his boxers, Brandon walks downstairs and flashes back to him and Lucas’ first time making love last night. He picks up Lucas’ boxers and clenches them tightly. As he starts picking up the other clothes on the floor, he feels a breeze. He turns to his left and notices that the door is slightly open. After walking over to close it, he notices a box of gifts on the floor from Dillon with tags for him and Lucas. Dillon couldn’t have possibly seen them last night….could he?

- Dillon on the other hand wakes up in Georgie’s bedroom. After seeing Lucas and Brandon make love, and the effect it had on him, Dillon needed to remember that he wasn’t gay. He loved Georgie. Correction, loves Georgie and she’s the person he wants to be with. So he had to prove it to himself that he was still into her by making love to her. Hell, they even tried a new way of making love last night and it was amazing. He looks at her while she’s sleeping and just wants to hold him in his arms. Correction, hold her in his arms. He paces back and forth angry that he is allowing Lucas to stay in his head. Dillon flashes back to making love to Georgie, but imagines that it’s Lucas he’s sleeping with. Dillon then puts on his clothes, kisses Georgie and takes off.

- At Bobbie’s, she is shown downstairs at her kitchen table, staring at a bottle of Puerto Rican Rum by Bacardi. She is tempted to pick up that bottle and drink everything that’s inside, but is afraid of what she’d do. She’s trying to not be so dependant on the bottle and she was doing good, but seeing her….her son making love to another man was just…..too much. Noah walks downstairs and sees Bobbie at the table. He was going to say something to her, but instead he watches to see what she does. Bobbie flashes back to watching Brandon on top of her son…..she grabs the bottle and puts it near her face. She begins having more rapid flashbacks and throws the bottle against the wall before breaking down and crying.

- Back at Kevin’s old place, he remembers more of his conversation with Lucy. After Monica took off, there was no way for him to avoid Lucy. She doesn’t yell, she doesn’t flip out. Instead she just says she’s disappointed in Kevin. The universe told her that she’d find something surprising when she returned to town and damn did she. Lucy grabs her things and leaves Kevin behind.

- We now return to the Quartermaines, who wait for AJ to tell them what happened back in 2005. AJ reveals that he was torn into pieces after realizing how wrong it was for him to kidnap Michael and make others believe he was dead. Monica’s still in disbelief that he could do that to them, but AJ says he was desperate and stupid. He says that after he was hospitalized after his fight with Jason, he could do nothing but think while in his hospital bed. He thought about all the horrible things he’s done over the past few years and how it never worked out for him in the end.

He asked Dr. Thomas to help him fake his death once again, so he could spare the family and Michael anymore pain. He didn’t however know how he would do it and didn’t know that he would brainwash Michael into accusing Carly and then making him believe that he did it. It wasn’t until a few months ago that he actually found out what Dr. Thomas did. Maybe it was the fact that he was lonely or maybe he wanted to make amends, but something told him to come back and fix his life. He grabs Monica and Alan’s hands and tells them that he’s sorry for all the pain he’s caused and wants to work really hard to fix everything.

Monica tells him that since his “death”, Carly has allowed Michael to spend time with she and Alan and fears their progress will be undone because of his return. Alan asks Monica to stand by AJ’s side and give him a chance to make things right. Edward says that Jason needs to know that AJ is alive and he is the one who plans on telling him. Skye says maybe Sonny, Carly and Jason need to learn together and if anyone is going to do it, it should be the Quartermaines as a united front. AJ thanks Skye for her support and says the sooner they can get this done the better.
