As Sonny took Kate on a walk down memory lane, revisiting the Italian restaurant where they spent their first date, we got a glimpse of how their love blossomed back then, and how it's still strong all these years later. It was pretty predictable he would pull that little black velvet box from his pocket, no doubt an engagement ring, and also expected he would be too nervous to pop the question right away.
Will the interference of the big stereotypical restaurant owner put a damper on the evening and yet again remind Kate how their current worlds collide? I'd like to see Kate realize she's happier with Sonny, danger and all, than she is in her cold isolated publishing world. I'd also like to see Sonny realize no sacrifice is too big for Kate and his children and give up the mob business to do, oh I don't know, how about really import coffee. Yeah, I know, fat chance.Still seemingly oblivious to the fact the ER is being held by a mad guy with a bomb strapped to him, Patrick, Robin, and Nadine worked to find answers to Nikolas' rage, while Nikolas sought comfort in his images of Emily. Robin scoffed at Patrick's idea to push Nikolas into one of his rages so he could get a blood panel during one for comparison, but he persisted anyway.

Dr. Lee was having a bit more trouble with Joe's wife as it became more and more obvious their baby was in real trouble.
Jason had nearly talked Joe into standing down, with Dr. Ford's assurance that he could stay with his wife until everything was okay, until Nikolas stumbled into the ER, still in one of his rages. How he got into a locked down ER is beyond me, but of course he stirred things up with his raging anger and his desire to join his Emily in death. At episode's end he attacked Joe, whose finger was still on the detonator. We'll have to tune in today to see if Jason will be able to play hero yet again.A Look AheadEven with Nikolas' interference, the mighty Jason will save the day.Who's Leaving?
