Jason and Sam were startled when a police officer, with his gun drawn, ordered them to stay where they were. Sam tried to explain that they hadn't broken into the restaurant. The police officer asked them for identification. Sam handed over hers, but Jason hesitated. Jason explained that he had a permit to carry a gun. As soon as the police officer heard that Jason had a gun on him, he ordered Jason and Sam to raise their hands. The police officer was thrilled when he realized that he had Jason Morgan and his "girlfriend," Sam McCall, in custody. The young cop considered Jason and Sam a modern day "Bonnie and Clyde." His joy turned to disappointment when he discovered that neither had outstanding warrants. However, he kept them in custody while he checked the restaurant.
During the police officer's search, he discovered a necklace. Sam denied any knowledge of it, but as soon as the cop's back was turned, Sam whispered to Jason that the jewelry had belonged to Kristina. Jason and Sam were eager to resume their search when they realized that they were hot on the trail of the teens. After they were released, Sam and Jason found Michael's abandoned car. They realized that it was near a town with a bus depot. Sam and Jason agreed that it would be more difficult to track Michael and Kristina if they had used public transportation.
In the garage of the Port Charles police station, Alexis confessed to causing Claudia's accident. Jax refused to believe that Alexis was responsible. Alexis stood by her confession, so Mac placed her under arrest. In the squad room, Jax asked Lucky if the confession would hold up in court. Lucky admitted that Alexis had been their primary suspect before Michael had turned himself in. Jax wondered if Mac thought Alexis would have left the scene of an accident or have let a teenager take responsibility for a crime that she had committed. Mac explained that it didn't matter what he thought; Alexis had confessed and the evidence supported her statement.
Jax went to the interrogation room to reason with Alexis. It was clear that Alexis had been crying. Jax demanded to know whom she was covering for. Alexis begged Jax to let the matter drop. She made it clear that she had no intention of retracting her statement.
When Diane arrived at the police station, Mac told Diane about Alexis' confession and arrest. Diane immediately marched into the interrogation room to talk to her friend. After Jax left, Diane insisted on the truth. Alexis tearfully confided that Kristina had caused Claudia's accident.
Diane pointed out that Alexis would lose all credibility, and give Andrea's claims credence, if she insisted on taking responsibility for the accident. Alexis refused to ruin Kristina's life because her daughter had made some poor choices. Diane worried that Alexis would be arrested for Brianna Hughes's murder. The possibility didn't alter Alexis' decision.
Jax arrived home a short time after Olivia had left. Carly was eager to hear every detail about Alexis' confession. To Carly's disappointment, Jax suspected that Alexis had lied. Jax explained that the police had found paint on the car that Alexis had bought for Viola. Carly found it odd that Alexis would drive the nanny's car rather than her own. Jax suggested that perhaps Alexis hadn't been the one to drive the car.
Carly wondered why Alexis would confess to driving if someone else had been behind the wheel. Jax responded by asking what would make Carly confess to a crime she didn't commit. Carly answered that she would do it to protect one of her children. At that moment Carly realized what Alexis had done; she'd lied to protect Kristina. Carly was horrified when she realized that Kristina had caused Claudia's accident.
Claudia demanded that Jerry Jacks locate Michael. Jerry reluctantly agreed. Satisfied, Claudia suggested that Jerry begin his search in Mexico. Meanwhile, Johnny lurked outside of Claudia's hospital room, listening to the conversation. When he heard his sister mention Michael's name, he made his presence known. Johnny was curious why Claudia was searching for Michael.
Jerry managed to use his skills at an embassy in Europe to track down the whereabouts of Michael's car.
On the next General Hospital...
- Michael and Kristina are headed south of the border
- Olivia fights her feelings for Sonny
- Jerry plans on using Michael as a pawn to get to Jason
