In the Kelly's parking lot, Jason picks up Sam's keys and hands them to her. They both get back on their feet and just stare at each other for a moment. Sam decides to break the silence.
"Thank you, um I have to go."
"You're welcome. See you later, I guess."
"Yeah."
Sam gets into her car. Jason watches as she drives off taking a deep breath upset with himself because he could have killed Sam. Just as Jason was about to leave, Claudia walks into the parking lot.
"Jason, hey! What did you lose track of your bike?"
"Oh no, I'm just walking by. Bye" Jason turns around and walks away.
Claudia jogs a bit to catch up with him. "Wait, wait. Are you in a rush or something? I was wondering maybe we can play some pool later.
"Uh, no. I'm good." Jason says without stopping or even turning around. He continues to walk away.
"Just one question Jason, do you know Sam McCall?" Jason stops. "Of course you do. She's your ex-fiancée right? Why did that not work out?"
Jason turns around. "That's none of your business."
"Ah, I got your attention. So is this when you warn me to stay away from Sam or you'll kill me?"
"No, if you want to mess with Sam that's your prerogative, but just know you'll only be starting up trouble."
"Trouble from you?"
"No from her. Sam can hold her own; she doesn't need me to protect her."
"Sounds like we can be girlfriends."
"You can only be so lucky to have someone like Sam in your corner." Jason turns around and begins to walk away again.
"So you still do care?" Claudia shouts, but Jason doesn't answer. She watches as he disappears into the night. She walks up to her car and puts her food inside as she says to herself, "How can I use this Sam McCall to my advantage?"
At Carly's, Carly fights back the tears as she stand before her dead friend Courtney.
"I'm so glad to see you. Even though you called me mean." Carly jokes.
"Well you are being mean to me, Jax, and Jason. You don't spend time with Spencer, you let Jax walk out of here, and Jason, well, and you just can't let him be happy."
"Well I doubt Nikolas wants me anywhere near Spencer, Jax wanted to spend time with Brenda and Kate and not me, and Jason, well, Elizabeth is dangerous to him. So I need to break them up."
"You never know until you ask. As for Jax, well, he wants to be with you, but you keep pushing him away."
"Really? I didn't get that vibe from Jax."
"Well now you know, so when he comes back tell him how you feel."
"I guess I can do that and talk to Nikolas about spending time with Spencer."
"Great. I just want all my loved ones to be happy."
"What about Jason? Is Elizabeth the one that's going to make him happy?"
"I can't tell you that."
"Why not? If she is, then I'd back off right now. But if she's not, I will not stop until she's out of his life for good."
"That's just it Carly, you can't determine who's good for Jason and who's not. You're just going to end up making him unhappy in the end. Do you want to be the cause of Jason not finding true happiness?"
"No."
"So let it go. Jason needs to figure out on his own whether or not Elizabeth is right for him."
"I'll try my best, but I'm not making any promises." Carly and Courtney laughed and hugged.
Sam makes her way through the door. Lucky's standing near the TV about to put in a movie. He puts the movie down to help Sam bring in the food.
"Food, finally. Did you get side tracked by a sale again?"
Sam laughs as she puts the food on the table. "Not this time and my bumpers are still in place. I helped Mike out a little bit and guess what I got in return."
"No, not chocolate chip…."
"Cookies, yes!" Sam holds up the bag of cookies.
Lucky pulls Sam close to him. "I love you so much. Now give me the bag of cookies."
Sam laughs, "No, you have to wait. I don't want you to spoil your dinner now."
"Oh really, like you didn't eat one on the way home."
"That's not the point."
"You did, didn't you?"
Lucky chases Sam around the room trying to get the bag of cookies from her. It doesn't take him too long to catch up with her and he tackles her to the ground. He gets the bag and stands up in triumph. Sam lies on the floor not being able to stop laughing. Lucky opens the bag to get a cookie and takes a huge bit out of it with a dopey grin on his face. Sam gets up on her feet still laughing, but not as hard.
"You have chocolate on your face. Let me take care of that for you."
Sam and Lucky begin to kiss, but then stop.
"The food." Lucky says.
"Yes the food then the desert."
"I don't know, the cookie is really good now."
"Not that desert." Sam laughs.
Sam pulls Lucky over to the couch and the sit down to eat their food not knowing that Claudia was watching them through the window.
