Johnny holds a gun to Lulu's head, and they make it all the way outside, with the help of Jason's not-so-subtle knock into Harper. Johnny even manages to steal Mayor Floyd's car and find an abandoned apartment, where he coaxes Lulu inside with sweet words: "You changed my life, Lulu."
Back at the PCPD, Jason's in hot water. Mac -- livid -- calls Maxie, Spinelli, and Claudia in for questioning. Maxie's really having a bad day. She got all emotional on Spinelli earlier, and then pulled back because she didn't want to use him for comfort sex again. Spinelli, however, is all like, "Please use me! I love you!" Anyway, at the PCPD, she stonewalls dear ol' dad, who also tells Claudia that her brother had better turn himself in or he'll get himself killed. Maxie later turns to Spinelli for his help in finding Johnny.
Maxie, Spinelli, and Claudia continue to deny their involvement in Johnny's escape as Nikolas points out to Lucky that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree: How many times did Laura help Luke stage a getaway?
Jason admits to Diane that he did knock into Harper because he didn't want Lulu hurt in the crossfire. Diane's afraid he's gonna have to spend at least one night in jail. Later, Jason gets more bad news: Karpov is in town. Something tells us Jason's not going to send over the mobster welcome wagon.
At Sonny's place, Claudia warns Sonny how dangerous Karpov is; she knows him from her time in Europe. Does she know him as well as she knows Sonny? Claudia challenges Sonny: He's returning to the mob because he misses being in control. Sonny deflects and later makes an appointment with Karpov, offering to be his mob consultant on one condition: They are not to make any moves on Jason.
Jax and Carly are arguing and then make up when Clarice calls, frantic: Jax is late to a meeting! As directed by Kate, Clarice explains she told Carly twice about the meeting -- Carly must've forgotten. Jax races over to Crimson, just in time to make a stellar business deal. Carly follows and insists she did not talk to Clarice, who says she did.
Jax pulls a real jerk move and believes Kate/Clarice over Carly. Carly's blindsided when Jax moves out. But Carly isn't giving him up without a fight.
Over dinner, Nadine tries to play coy, asking Matt if he's a risk taker.
