Kevin tells Lucy he wants her to move in with him...she makes things bearable in his life. Lucy is a bit hesitant and tells him she wants to make sure this is what he wants, since she wants his love not his gratitude. Lucy warns Kevin that she has a lot of clothes and suggests that they build more closets if she moves in. He assures her that he wants nothing more than to share his home with her permantently. The two are happy with their decision and Kevin heads to the kitchen to make coffee. Lucy surveys the closet space in the meantime and comes across a few boxes which alarm her...they contain something that shakes her up over Kevin.
Jax and Miranda share a casual dinner of pizza at Mac's while they discuss their divorce. Miranda tells him it should be very cut and dry since she's not asking for anything and they have no possessions to fight over. Jax tells her he is there to dicuss a monetary settlement so she can get on with her life. Miranda is disturbed by the idea and tells him the only thing he owes her is a quick divorce and a firm handshake. Jax tells her she will need money in order to start over and he wants to provide it for her. In leaving, he asks her to please think over the settlement. She agrees to think about it.
Outside of Luke's, Sonny tells Brenda he remembers her being there for him when he thought he was going to die and that he knows she is afraid he will hurt her again. Brenda tells him things are over between them. Sonny says things are not over just because she says so, and that they are only over when the caring stops. He tells her that she can say whatever she wants, but that he can see in her eyes that she still cares. Brenda says she needs Sonny to leave her alone, that she came there to end it, and that she is in love with Jax. Sonny tells her the only way she can be with Jax is if she pretends he (Sonny) doesn't exist. Whether she likes it or not, Sonny tells her that what they have is "real", messy and inconvenient maybe, but real. He says that Jax may make her feel safe and he may not lie all the time, but that that's not raw emotion...like they have together. He bottom lines it for her by saying the one problem they have is...they still love each other. He approaches and kisses her. Brenda stops him shortly after and tells him to stop since it won't fix anything and she is with Jax now. Sonny spills his guts to Brenda telling her that she was the only thing that registered with him when Lily died and as time passed he realized how great they were together....though he was initially happy that she was happy with Jax, when he found out about his past, he admits he went after him to take him down. Brenda is outraged at him for this. She tells Sonny that she is sick of the pain and that they would be only temporarily happy together and that it really is time for him to let her go. Sonny tells her that if the only way she can be with Jax, is to be away from him, then she is lying to herself. He warns her that sooner or later she will look for the truth and when she does, he will be there waiting. Brenda tells him half heart- edly that she is not coming back this time and takes off for home.
At home, Brenda finds Jax not there. She thinks of her kiss with Sonny. Jax finally comes in and she asks him how it went. He tells her he and Miranda have a few more things to settle. He asks her what she did tonight and she replies.."nothing."
Katherine asks Mac if he would have proposed if she wasn't in the hospital. He tells her he probably wouldn't of, but that he loves her very much and that thought of spending his life without her is awful. She tells him they just don't fit together and that he needs to wait until he finds the right someone to spend the rest of his life with instead of settling. Mac ultimately thanks her for turning him down so nicely..but is hurt. He leaves at Katherine's request. Stefan is not lurking far behind, and heads into Katherine's room. She tells him she is very glad to see him and feels he is the only person she can talk to right now. She says she is sick of acting so brave for everyone else and that she can really be herself around him. He is flattered and says he enjoys their visits very much. He asks if she is in pain and she tells him she is just so tired. He asks her to close her eyes and focus on rest and what he is saying. He describes a peaceful place...a forest on a summer's day, the wind through the trees, a stream running over rocks, etc. Before long, she has nodded off to sleep, her hand clutched inside of Stefan's.
Sonny pays Lily's grave a visit with some roses. He talks of their past and what he has learned from loving her. He goes on to say that he thinks of her often and prays for her soul, even though he knows it is already with God. He goes on to tell her that he told Brenda he loved her tonight. He takes off his wedding ring and digs a hole in the snow for it, saying it is too precious to simply put in a drawer. He buries it in the snow and tells Lily that he cannot fight for Brenda wearing her ring. He ends by telling her not to worry about him, and walks away. A strange person follows behind and digs up the ring Sonny has buried.
Lucy goes to Kevin's closet to further investigate a box of letters she found there yesterday. When Kevin comes into the room, she asks him what's going on. He asks what needs an explanation. Lucy mumbles something about not having enough space for all her wardrobe essentials in his closet. She then asks him if it would bother him if she brought some pictures of her family with her when she moved in. Kevin tells her it is as much her place as it is his and wonders why she would think it wouldn't be ok. She points out that she understands why there are no pictures of his family, but mentions his father. Kevin quickly changes the subject to breakfast. Kevin leaves for his session with Gail and Lucy also heads for the hospital. Kevin tells Gail that he and Lucy are moving in together and that it was a mistake for him to ask to cut back on his sessions. He tells her he is worried about not being good at whatever it is he chooses to do...and ultimately not living up to his expectations. Gail suggests it may have to do with his father's expectations. Kevin suggests that she is incorrect and tells her that if anything has to do with his father, he will let he know. He leaves and heads for home where he ends up in the closet looking at the box of letters having to do with his father. Lucy pays a visit to Gail and tells her she is concerned that Kevin may be keeping something to himself that may hurt him...she suspects that his father is still alive.
Katherine wakes up refreshed and with a new attitude. She remembers Stefan being there the night before and sending her off to sleep with some lovely images. Bobbie comes in to check on her. Katherine tells her she has a lot of positive energy and that a wonderful man who works the night shift has taken good care of her. Bobbie asks what his name is and Katherine tells her she really doesn't know. Bobbie suggests therapy to her and she says she will think about it. Mac comes in with flowers for her. Katherine tells him she is surprised to see him after last nights' turned down proposal, and the fact that he is there says a lot about who he is. He tells her that no matter what, he will not stop loving her. Katherine tells him she cares too much about him to see him marry the wrong woman, even if that woman is her. She asks if he will get her some butterscotch pudding and he heads to the cafeteria. Tony visits her and tells her how lucky she is to have someone like Mac to rely on and she tells him that she is aware of this and eternally grateful to him.
Felicia meets Bobbie in the cafeteria with a gift for such a great dinner party. It is a leather passport holder for all the trips she will be going on with her new husband. Bobbie tells her it was so nice to get together again. Felicia tells her that Stefan seems like a wonderful man who loves her very much. She asks Bobbie if it is difficult being married again so soon after a divorce. Bobbie admits that it is since Stefan is so different than Tony and that there are always surprises and many sides of Stefan she learns more about each day...but this is very exciting. Felicia then catches up with Mac in the cafeteria and they remember being there together during hard times with Maxi. She asks Mac if he regrets bringing Frisco back to Port Charles when Maxi was ill since it ultimately led to the demise of their engagement. Mac tells her absolutely not, and that he would do it all again. He tells Felicia that the proposed to Katherine last night and that she said no. Felicia asks if she is insane...Mac tells her that they talked a lot and now not marrying her seems more right than marrying her. Felicia agrees with him and tells him she suspected they would have never worked as husband and wife. She tells Mac that he thrives on saving women in distress and that he was trying to save Katherine. He tells her that he and Katherine are friends now, just like them. Felicia tells him that no friendship is just like theirs, that he is more than a friend, a lover, or family, he is the best man she has ever given her love to. Mac thanks her for the praise.
Tony runs into Audrey at the nurses desk, who tells him she hasn't seen sign of Carly, who seems to be falling into her old bad habits of being late for work.

Tony tells her she needs to get past these feelings and she tells him she will do her best. They head for GH together.
At GH, Carly runs into Bobbie immediately at one of the nurse's station and Bobbie immediately cuts into her about being late. Carly reminds her that she has no right to comment since she no longer works in her department. Bobbie tells her it is just professional to be on time and if she plans on going anywhere at GH, she should be more conscious of such things. Carly snaps back and Bobbie suggests that they try not to cause an ugly scene everytime they run into each other. Carly tells her she is just jealous since she and Tony are in love. Bobbie tells her she has everything she wants. Carly suggests that she is speaking of her knew rich husband, Stefan and tells Bobbie there are some things she just won't do for money.

In the meantime, Lucy pays Gail a visit to chat about the letters she found from his father.
