Danger Looms

Heather shows up at Luke's demanding that he help her free Steve. Heather pulls a gun on Luke who talks Heather down from doing anything that could be perceived as crazy. He then tells her that his first priority is his own daughter and then he promises to help Heather with Steve.

Luke tries to reach Dante but does not get through.

Ronnie knows that Dante is on to him but planned ahead by setting up Dante to look like the stripper attacker. Dante is frustrated and feels hopeless knowing that Ronnie has Lulu.

Luke gets Anna's help to find Lulu after he cannot reach Dante either. Luke and Anna arrive at the police station to find Dante in handcuffs. He tells them that Lulu is in danger and begs them to go save her.

Maxie tells Spinelli that if he loves her he will keep her secret. Maxie feels that if Matt did kill Lisa it was her fault.

Matt begins to have flashbacks about that night on the boat. Alexis notices that something is wrong with Matt but has to focus on trying to save Maxie.

Felicia shows up at the courthouse for Maxie's sentencing and Maxie tells her to leave. Felicia stubbornly refuses.

Mac angrily tells Felicia that it is too late for her to act like Maxie's mother.

Olivia pleads with Kate for help with Steve. Kate refuses to help Olivia, telling her she needs her money to leave town. Olivia is shocked by Kate's attitude but then realizes that Kate is acting like the Connie she grew up with and confronts her.

Kate admits to Olivia that Sonny dumped her because he found her in bed with Johnny. After the initial shock wears off, Olivia recognizes that Kate is behaving an awful lot like Connie from the old neighborhood and begins to understand what is going on.

Ewen is found by Elizabeth. Maggie finds a bloody paperweight that she believes was used to knock Ewen out.

Elizabeth tells Maggie that Ewen was preparing to admit a patient and suspects that it was that patient who attacked him.

Heather arrives at the hospital and asks Elizabeth to help Steve. Elizabeth is unaware of Steve's prediciment. Maggie tells Heather that it is just a misunderstanding and she is sure that Steve will be cleared. Heather remembers overhearing Olivia tell Dante that Maggie is one of the people who knows the truth about what Steve did. Heather also remembers Olivia saying that Johnny is the one who is blackmailing Steve. Will Heather go after Johnny?

Just as the judge is ready to sentence Maxie, Spinelli interrupts.

Coming soon:

Somehow Ronnie is holding not just Lulu captive but Sam as well. John McBain and Dante will arrive to rescue both of them but someone is going to get hurt. Is Sam's baby going to die?

What will Spinelli say to try and save Maxie? Will Matt remember his part (if any) in Lisa's murder?

Will Elizabeth figure out that Kate is the patient who attacked Ewen? Will Ewen be able to tell Elizabeth what happened?
