Sami says that she is going to take the twins to the Java Cafe and Lucas says that she can leave them with him. EJ comes in and says he will allow it over his dead body. Lucas already tried that once and it didn't work out so well. Sami says she will take Johnny with her and leave Allie with Lucas. After everyone but Lucas leaves, you can pretty much guess what happens. Everything is going just fine for Lucas and Allie and suddenly Allie decides that she wants to play with a ball. The ball rolls out of the perimeter of Lucas' confinement area and when Allie goes, so does Lucas. The police are there pretty much immediately. If only it were like that in real life.
Lexie runs into Daniel who has made a private breakfast for her in the hospital. Gee, Daniel, make it a little more obvious that you're interested in her.

A little later, Daniel gets together with Chelsea and tells her that he is interested in another woman.
Nicole and Chloe run into one another at the docks. My, they like to have weird conversations. Nicole also seems to like calling people names, like "Sugarcakes". Nicole says that she is Philip's stepmother and so cares about not letting him get destroyed.
John tells Philip that he set him up and so is going to pay. Naturally, Philip immediately denies everything. When Philip says that he made a bad move by starting the turf war, John says that is basically an admission that he planted the cocaine.
Max gets really irritated when he sees Nick and a professor working together. Then he gets snappy at Pete when he won't take his shift. When Stephanie asks him if he is okay he snaps at her and leaves. He goes to do his community service but ends up picking a fight with his manager. Not too much later, John comes to ask about a Kiriakis shipment and Max tells him that he will fight him as well. He seriously says, "Show me what you've got!" quite loudly. I'm embarrassed to have seen that scene.
