NED HAS A NEW PLAAAAAAN!

Ned and Alexis as they reveal to the Q's their plans to wed.

Ned and Alexis decided not to go through with their island nuptials since the press completely ruined the mood for them. Then Ned came up with a new idea to kill the Eddie's Angel mess. If they have a big wedding and cooperate with the press, they'll grow tired of him and Alexis and move on to somebody new to harrass. Alexis was dubious about the plan, but she went along with it, anyway.

When they returned to Port Charles, they broke the news to the Q's. Edward was immediately against Ned and Alexis marrying because he didn't want the Quartermaine family to be hooked to the Cassadine family by marriage. Then the press arrived and chaos ensued. After the press were shooed out, Edward and Alexis got into it, with Alexis telling Edward to put a sock in it.

When Ned and Alexis had a chance to be alone, their fears returned. BoozeBoy Quartermaine arrived and twisted the knife in Ned that his marriage to Alexis would fail, while Alexis fainted on Sonny as she began to hyperventilate over what life as a Quartermaine would be like.

Luke slips into Helena's bedroom and puts a chokehold on her throat.

Lucky went to Laura and reconciled with her. He confided to her about his brainwashing but said he didn't want his father, Luke, to know.

Lucky explained the reason he didn't want to tell his father was because he'd use it as an excuse to go after the Cassadines, and that's exactly what Mr. Spencer did. Not giving a thought to what his son was going through, he used the situation to give him an excuse to slip into Helena Cassadine's bedroom, planning to kill her.
