Though neither father nor daughter would own up to what they were talking about, Johnny sprang to Claudia’s defense. After Claudia left, Anthony warned Johnny that Claudia would eventually turn on him.

Jason talked Carly off of a ledge when he found her hounding Spinelli to dig up information on Kate that she could use to run her out of town. The reason? She found out Jax and Kate kissed. He told her she had to drop this whole thing she had against Kate, especially since Jax and Kate had only kissed, while Carly and Sonny actually had sex – a far more serious marital infraction. He also warned that if she pushed Sonny too far, he would likely tell Jax that they had sex.

Jax and Kate discussed their relationships on a flight/limo ride to a NYC event. They agreed to disagree and Kate advised Jax on how to handle the press in regard to her engagement.

Robin stopped by to visit and talk about Sonny’s engagement. She too expressed some concerns, but ultimately wished him well. After she left, a distraught Claudia showed up on Sonny’s doorstep looking for love.
