Franco tells Jason he did pretty good work; Jason disagrees, because Franco survived.  Ava comes to visit Kiki and is surprised to find the deadbolt locked.  Ava tells Kiki circumstances have changed and she can come home; Kiki tells her now she doesn’t want to.  Rick calls Sony to tell him there has been a development in Carlos’ case.  Carly comes to Sonny’s office… Alexis tells Julian the minute she picked up the knife she had the feeling they were about to lose everything.  Jordan is questioning the boy claiming to have knowledge about the murder of Duke Lavery; he changes his mind and tries to leave – saying he can’t involve anyone in this.  He tells her he saw Duke get shot.  

Alexis puts the knife away and tells Julian about Molly’s concerns.  Dillon and Nina run into each other (quite literally), her arms full of shopping bags and boxes.  He invites her to stay for a drink.  He encourages her to talk to Franco.  Franco dares Jason to finish what he started; Jason lets go of him.  But Franco continues to needle Jason… Jason grabs him by the throat, leaving red marks on his throat – for real.  Olbrecht asks Franco why he would provoke that man; he answers, “because no game is any fun without a worthy opponent.”  They talk about being despised by others, about being rejected, wanting redemption; Franco says he tried to reform himself… but why (his life is not sunshine and rainbows).  He says, no more - it’s time to be the Franco that he was born to be.  

Ava is a little hurt by Kiki’s rejection, but tells her she loves her, hugs her and leaves.  Kiki locks the deadbolt behind her.  Rick arrives at Sonny’s office.  He tells Sonny about the new witness.  Alexis gets a call from the court; the judge has made a decision.  Jordan asks the boy what he was doing the night he claims to have seen Duke’s murder; he said he was using (drugs), breaking into cars at the metro court.  Heard two guys arguing… something about Julian Jerome – one guy in a tux, the other in street clothes.  He describes a fight for the gun and “Tuxedo” dropping to the ground; he identifies Carlos’ picture as “street clothes” without hesitation.  The boy apologizes for not coming forward sooner and begs Jordan to believe him; she tells Alexis that Carlos isn’t going anywhere.  Ava stops by to see Julian, still nervous about the organization – he tells her he is back in charge, running the organization again.  She tells him he should use his resources then and get rid of Carlos.  He tells her he thinks there’s a better way.  Jason tells Sam about the ‘argument’ with Franco; he says he was dangerous before and he thinks he still is.  He doesn’t want him anywhere near his son again.  

Franco tells Olbrecht he thinks he and Nina are done… she tells him he has to keep trying (she believes the two of them are meant to be).  Dillon stops by and asks Kiki if she knows how to change a flat tire – she suspects he has another reason for being on that side of town.  He admits he wanted to check on her.  Nina comes home as they walk out to change Dillon’s tire.  She asks where Franco is; Kiki says he hasn’t been home.  As Sam and Jason leave the bar, someone is following them.  Julian orders a hit… on the boy witness.

Monday 04-25-2016

Franco is late for Jake’s art therapy session; Monica stops Franco in the hospital hallway, and asks what’s in the box he’s carrying.  He refuses to tell her, pretty much putting her in her place.  Alexis tells Carlos the case against him is “dubious” – unless Sabrina reappears in Port Charles… she asks if that’s a possibility.  Michael demands to know who the baby toy belongs to.  Nina finds Julian in her office (he scoffs at her just now getting in and she goes on a verbal rampage), telling him she is not doing it anymore (putting her needs aside for someone else).  He’s asking for financial paperwork; she falls apart and starts crying.  Sabrina’s aunt claims the rattle belongs to her friend’s baby who was visiting this morning; Michael dares her to call and tell her right now.  

Carlos tells Alexis that Sabrina will not come back; Alexis explains that if that’s true, the prosecution’s case will fall apart – Carlos chuckles at the thought that everyone knows he did it, but no one can prove it.  Rick tells Sonny Carlos could get off and be set free; Sonny is ‘considering his options’.  Franco gives the puppy to Jake while Jason goes to call Sam.  The friend comes to pick up her baby’s toy from Sabrina’s aunt; she apologizes for upsetting Michael… Michael asks her if she would them find Sabrina.  Jason tells Jake he cannot keep the puppy; Jake tells Jason he hates him.  Monica inserts herself into the conversation and starts chewing out Franco for giving another man’s child a puppy, saying that is against all rules – not to mention that Jake is a patient.  Monica offers to give it to the groundskeeper so Jake can come visit it.  Jason doesn’t let Franco walk away.  

Molly comes to ask why Alexis is defending Carlos; Alexis tells her she hopes they can have an adult conversation about this – Molly points out that Alexis seems to have decided to “drop-kick” her ethics and says everyone has a right to a good defense (even Jack-the-ripper).  Molly asks if Dukes life meant nothing to her…and asks how Alexis lives with herself.  Alexis tells Molly that the world is not always black or white… in this case, Carlos isn’t the only one to consider.  Molly says the man is pure evil.  Alexis gets out the knife Helena left her in the will – and explains how Helena used it to cut her mother’s throat, saying that is pure evil.  

Julian has a nice, heart-to-heart conversation with Nina about Franco, telling her that Franco clearly cares about her.  She’s concerned that they don’t really know each other at all.  As she goes on to say that maybe no one really knows the real any one, Julian stands up and says he has to go.  Franco explains that dogs are good therapy, that it might be good for Jake because he is lonely… and that Jake realizes Jason’s concern is more for Sam and her kid than for him; he says he understands him because he was like that too.  Jason says “my son is nothing like you.”  Felix and Michael start thinking of a new way to find Sabrina.  They are going back to Port Charles.  

Franco taunts Jason a bit, telling him that he is a killer – not a respectable person; he goes on to say that Jason doesn’t want anyone to love him… Jason loses it and grabs Franco, shoving him up against the wall, saying he should have killed him when he shot him in the garage.  Franco is surprised he remembers.  Jason smiles.  Nina questions Julian if his rush has anything to do with Carols Rivera and secrets of his own (offering to listen, as he did for her); he tells her he can handle his own problems.  Molly and Alexis continue their conversation.  Alexis asks Molly to leave Julian out of this; Molly can’t, she says it wouldn’t be honest… Julian must have pressured her into defending Carlos and she knows it.  Alexis is afraid Molly hates her; Molly says she doesn’t, but thinks Alexis might hate herself.  Her words ring in Alexis’ ear.  Julian comes home.  Wow, the aunt walks into a back bedroom and hands another rattle to a baby in a crib.  Some boy walks in to the police station, saying he has new evidence about Carlos Rivera.

Friday 04-22-2016

Michael and Felix are in San Juan, Puerto Rico, now.  They meet with Sabrina’s dad.  He tells them he hasn’t talked to Sabrina in years, but she might contact her aunt.  Nina wakes up mid-afternoon, with a hangover; Franco tells her he’s glad she’s there.  He brought her a present.  A puppy.  She is not happy about it.  Nathan and Maxie walk into the bar; it’s a surprise engagement party for Maxie.  Andre tells Anna he cannot evaluate Anna because of a prior relationship and recuses himself.  

Anna tells Paul that he will not break her; he is going to lose.  Lulu tells Maxie that she and Dante are back together.  Andre asks Jordan if she knew his evaluation was Anna… she didn’t.  But she gets upset and asks him if he wants to be in a relationship with her or with Anna; he kisses her.  Griffin happens into the bar; Maxie greets him… invites him to stay.  Franco tells Nina that he was trying to do something nice.  She totally overreacts and leaves the apartment.  She says the dog better be gone when she gets back.  

Nathan turns down the lights, drops to one knee and proposes again, this time with a ring, in front of everybody at the party.  Nathan tells Maxie she is his sun and his world revolves around her.  They kiss.  Griffin looks almost horrified; he drops his drink.  Scott walks in to the police station and tells Paul he is Anna’s attorney; Mac and Felicia hired him.  Mac tells Nathan he is happy for him and Maxie.  Michael and Felix find Sabrina’s aunt; Sabrina is not there – the aunt asks about the baby.  Claims not to have even known that she left Port Charles.  

Griffin tries to tell Maxie that he needs to go; she introduces him to Felicia and Mac.  Scott tells Anna that he will get her out.  Nina shows up at the party, gulps a drink and leaves – Dillon chases after her because she left her purse.  Nathan tells Dillon he thinks Griffin has a thing for his fiancĂ©.  Andre leaves Jordan’s office – Scott asks to speak to him.  Jordan tells Anna she wants this to go away, but it’s not going to if they don’t find Sabrina.  As Michael is about to leave the aunt’s house, he spots a baby toy on the floor and asks who’s it is.

Thursday 04-21-2016

Carly brings Sonny and birthday cupcake… they talk about Carlos and getting closer to putting Julian away.  Julian meets Alexis for lunch; Olivia rushes in saying they have to talk about Leo.  She tells them ‘he stood up’; she has a video.  Finn tells Tracy that the tests show all residual infections are gone – Finn tells Tracy that he will be leaving as he no longer has privileges at the hospital.  Tracy demands he stay.  Monica agrees.  Jordan gets a visit from Andre at the PD; she tells him she’s working… he tells her he is only there to evaluate a prisoner.  She apologizes.  Paul tells Anna she is not getting out on bail.  When she asks why, he says she may be a danger to others.  

Ned runs into Olivia and tells her he is glad she told Julian (that she couldn’t live with the lie).  But he is surprised to hear that they are co-parenting.  Alexis comes to talk to Jordan about Carlos.   Anna tells Paul that he is perverting the law.  Carly tells Sonny there is much more coming for his birthday; she’s glad he doesn’t mind celebrating it now.  Sonny makes a call to the PD to check on Carlos.  Ned mentions the lie being the reason he left and it not being there anymore… then asks her if they could go see a movie together sometime.  He also says he would like to have coffee soon and see Leo.

Andre tells Anna he needs to talk to Anna alone; she tells Paul to leave.  Andre asks what the hell happened.  Then says she might be where she belongs.  Jordan tells Alexis they will have plenty of evidence by the time Carlos goes to trial… Alexis files a Motion to Dismiss.  Sonny greets Alexis – asks her if she is really trying to set Carlos free.  She tries to justify it, but Sonny won’t have any of it and tells Alexis her ethics have gone out the window.  Andre tells Anna he is afraid that Paul may hurt her.  Ned visits Tracy in her room; she asks him to stay, telling him they have ELQ back.  Ned seems to consider the offer.  Carly also agrees that Finn should stay; Monica says they need to do something about Olbrecht being Chief of Staff.

Wednesday 04-20-2016

Carlos relentlessly taunts Anna in jail, then talks about how he misses his son.  Anna tells him she has no sympathy for him and she hopes he suffers.  Felix calls Michael with concerns about Sabrina.  Griffin overhears and asks Felix about Carlos, introducing himself as Duke’s son.  Michael runs into Dante and asks about Lulu; Laura questions Lulu about Dante and the possibility of them having sex.  Michael asks Dante if he knows anything more about Sabrina’s whereabouts.  Negative.  Dante then asks Michael not to do anything stupid (like going off to look for her).  

Samantha asks Jason to stay with her; they begin to kiss.  Lulu and Dante begin their exercises – rebuilding intimacy – with instructions to just stare into each other’s eyes for four minutes.  Anna tells Carlos that she knows he set her up, then tells him Duke had a son of his own, who he took him away from.  Griffin comes to the jail to see Anna… he can not believe that she shot a man.  She tells him she did, and introduces him to Carlos.  Anna explains how Carlos purposefully provoked her and how he had a bullet-proof vest and blood packs to make her think she had killed him (he wanted her to shoot him).  As Sam and Jason kiss on the bed, he has a memory.  

Michael and Felix decide to take a trip to Puerto Rico.  Griffin turns to Carlos and asks him just one question: if he is sorry that he killed his father… Carlos doesn’t even admit that he did, let alone that he is sorry.  Griffin still says they have to find a way to forgive him.  Jason tells Sam that he will stay with her, forever.  Overnight, Sam has a nightmare (Jason is shot in the back, laying in bed, and Helena is there in the room… Helena tells her that she will never know happiness).  She cries out and wakes up to find Jason gone; he’s just in the other room.  Lulu and Dante “fail” their exercise; they make love.  Laura meets with Kevin, trying to decipher the book.  Kevin has found on clue: “Heartbreak Hotel”.

Tuesday 04-19-2016

Franco rants to himself… says he can’t stand being normal because apparently being normal means all you do is fight.  He wakes up Kiki – she asks what’s wrong.  Franco tells her he called her ‘his kid’, and that was upsetting to Nina.  Olbrecht tells Dr. Finn he isn’t going to be there much longer; Carly comes into the hospital and asks Dr. Finn if he can help her and Joslyn – Joslyn has a rash.  He offers to look at her.  Paul claims his arrest is unwarranted, hoping Carlos will take the deal.  

Alexis tells Carlos she is advising him to turn the deal down.  He refuses her offer to represent him then.  Sonny tells Julian this is his last chance… he asks if he was the one behind the order to shoot him too.  Dillon runs into Nina at the bar, surprised that she and Franco are not going on vacation.  He can tell she is upset.  Anna asks Paul why he acts like they are allies; why he casts himself as her champion.  Dr. Finn says he is ready to make a diagnosis.  Franco tells Kiki he has a late shift at the hospital; she swears she will be ok alone.  Drunk now, Nina tells Dillon they need to go to the office and pull an all-nighter… Dillon helps her out of the bar.  Julian denies any connection to shooting Sonny.  The mayor is not happy with Jordan arresting the District Attorney; Jordan stands her ground, telling her she has plenty of proof for the arrest.  One witness is missing, but she is going to find him.

Anna demands to know why Paul is so stuck on protecting her – he says because he is in love with her… that he admires and is infuriated by her in equal measure.  Anna tells him that she has zero feelings for him, other than loathing.  Dr. Finn tells Joslyn she has Fiss Disease (?), a childhood disease that presents itself as a simple rash on the face; it is spread around school this time of year – it should go away on it’s own in a few days.  Dillon takes Nina home; Nina is so drunk, she puts the moves on him and kisses him forcefully.  She tears Dillon’s shirt off, and then passes out cold.  Alexis talks Carlos into letting her represent him; they shake on it.  Sonny and Julian stand face to face.  Sonny stabs a knife into the desk in front of him – he tells him if anything happens to Carlos, he will take him out.  

The mayor demands Paul’s release and gets him out of jail.  Olbrecht and Finn fight about his privileges at the hospital; she is upset that he treated Carly’s daughter.  Kiki comes out and sees Dillon leaning over Nina on the couch; he swears it’s not what it looks like.  She laughs and tells him she heard everything.  He carries Nina to bed and leaves.  Alexis tells Julian she was successful in convincing Carlos to accept her representation.  Jordan tells Paul she will find the evidence against him and he will be back soon.  Carlos is brought to the cell across from Anna after Paul is released.

Monday 04-18-2016

Nathan asks Maxie if she will marry him; Maxie hesitates to respond.  Cristina comes to see her father – Max tells her not to assume anything about him because he loves her and she knows that.  Cristina asks what Sonny wanted to see her about; he says her future.  He offers her a job at the warehouse.  Carlos tells Julian he is a guest of the PCPD and tells him to get him a good lawyer.  He tells Julian they’ve offered him a deal, to turn against him.  Sam stops by to see Alexis; Alexis tells her Sonny brought Carlos back.  Jordan tells Paul that she is busting him – he tells her she should reconsider.  Jordan asks if that’s a threat; she tells him he will soon be in custody.  She tells Paul that she has clear evidence of conspiracy, starting with the removal of the body from the harbor that was misidentified as Carlos Rivera.  Anna lets Jordan know that the body was that of Kyle Sloan, who had been killed by Paul.  

Nina and Franco have a serious talk; she tells him to try to understand how she was feeling and assures him she is not going to walk away from him.  Maxie introduces Griffin to Nathan.  Sonny tells Cristina that he wants to have an open and honest relationship; she says ok, but then there is something she needs to tell him.  But they get interrupted before she tells him; Griffin comes to visit Sonny.  He tells Sonny that he doesn’t want any more blood spilled in his father’s name.  He thanks him for his time and leaves.  Jordan tells Anna that she needs a connection between Paul and Kyle – she tells her that Paul confessed to her that Sloan had raped Paul’s daughter, and Paul killed him to avenge her; Carlos saw the whole thing.  Julian tells Alexis that he wants her to represent Carlos, so she can convince him not to take the deal against Julian, thereby saving him in the process.  

Nina wants to go on a trip, but Franco tells her they can’t right now because Kiki needs him; Nina gets a little upset.  Maxie tells Nathan his proposal sounds less about her and more about him trying to get over his ex-wife; he assures her it’s not.  She accepts his proposal.  Sam talks to Cristina… she tells him that Sonny is much more understanding that she realizes.  She thinks she should tell him that she might be gay; Cristina says she can’t tell him when she doesn’t even understand herself.  Sam tells her she should experiment and find out more about herself then.  

Nina feels like Franco is always going to put others before her – and she decides to leave after all.  Paul is pissed; he swears he will take Anna down with him.  Cristina notices something is different about Sam; she figures out that she and Jason had sex, and tells her she knew they would get back together.  Jordan tells Paul that he is right; she can’t arrest him without arresting Anna… so she is going to arrest them both.  She reads Anna her rights first.  Alexis walks in and tells Carlos that she is there to represent him, and he can thank Julian.  Sonny and Max grab Julian; Sonny tells him they are going for a ride.

Friday 04-15-2016

Carly tries to wake Dr. Finn up; she looks at the syringe and ponders what he did to himself.  Franco calls Nina; she’s ignoring his calls – she’s hiding out at Maxie and Nathan’s.  They look concerned when she tells them she can never go back to her place.  Julian meets with Ava in the park; he tells her no one will be troubling her again.  Paul asks Jordan if Rivera said anything; she asks about what… his part in this whole sorry mess, or that Anna tried to kill him.  He looks surprised that she knows.  Anna has resigned herself to whatever happens next.  Paul confronts Anna.  Jordan tells him to back off – she needs to ask Anna some questions; she asks if it’s true that Anna tried to kill Carlos.  Kiki rests on the couch and talks with Franco (she asks if he was faking it when he thought he was her dad); he tells her no, but she is the only kid he needs.  

Maxie tells Nina not to give up on Franco; she leaves to take care of things at the office… tells Nina to take a ‘me’ day.  After she leaves, Nina asked what she missed.  Carly calls for help; Finn wakes up.  She demands to know what is going on with him.  He tells her he is diabetic – injected too much insulin.  Carly doesn’t buy it.  Julian tells Ava if Carols turns on him, he may be going to prison… for conspiracy to murder.  Jordan brings Anna in for questioning; Anna admits to shooting Carlos on Pier 54.  She explains how she arrested him, but he continually taunted her with the fact that he wouldn’t be convicted and she knew he was right; it was a perversion of justice she couldn’t stand for, so she shot him (four times).  She goes on to explain that everything was a set up – he was wearing a bullet-proof vest and blood capsules and goaded her into shooting him.  She accepts that she will have to go to prison, but is glad at least Carlos can testify against Paul.  Jordan asks what exactly Carlos knows about Paul.  

Olbrecht shows up at Dr. Finn’s hotel room to tell him she has dismissed the residents; he is too late.  She tells him his behavior today proves he is not qualified to save patients lives at General Hospital.  Kiki tells Franco that he does a pretty good job of parenting her… he acknowledges that, but says he doesn’t want to do it with his own kids.  Nina asks Nathan why he is lying by omission to Maxie; he claims not wanting to burden her with some stupid decision he made when he was younger.  Nina knows there is more to it and says he should come clean with Maxie.  Maxie runs into Griffin, literally, as she steps off the elevator; they sit down to talk – he tells her that he is Duke’s son.  She tells him she is really sorry he never got a chance to meet Duke; she says he was really a great person.  Next morning, Anna comes to talk to Carlos, telling him she is ready to be arrested; tells him to do what he needs to do.  Paul watches with intent.  Carlos says he wants to speak to the District Attorney first; Jordan says she wants to be present, but Paul kicks them both out.  

Franco says he wants to go find Nina; Kiki begs him not to leave her there alone… a car backfires and she screams and ducks again.  Franco comforts her.  Paul tells Carlos he will go easy on him if he rolls over on his former boss, Julian Jerome.  Julian admits to Ava limited involvement in the organization, but he assures her he’s not that deep.  Nina offers Nathan some advice; she says to tell Maxie that he will do anything to make her happy, that he lives to make her happy, that he will give up anything for her.  Carlos tells Finn that no one will hear about his ‘diabetes’ from her; Finn realizes that he has screwed up and wonders what he’s going to do now.  Nina comes home…  Nathan runs into hotel lobby and tells Maxie pretty much what Nina told him to say; asks her to promise that they can spend the rest of their lives together – he drops to his knee and proposes.  Paul comes out and tells Anna that what Carlos is going to say is anyone’s guess; Carlos makes his phone call (to Julian).

Thursday 04-14-2016

Sonny returns home; Carly is grateful to see him… he tells her Carlos got what he deserved – he is alive and well, in police custody. He tells her how he found him.  Lulu greets Dante with a kiss; he’s there for a playdate with Rocco.  Laura tells Nikolas good morning; he says “try again”, as he pours himself a glass of bourbon.  He tells Laura he sold his shares to Jason Morgan.  Lulu questions how Nikolas could justify selling ELQ; it must have something to do with Hayden, no, wait… Rachael.  Nikolas says he doesn’t feel like talking.  

Jason calls the family together, to Tracy’s hospital room; he tells everyone that he is the new owner of ELQ.  Laura is off to meet someone she met online, to decipher the ‘message’ from Helena; Lulu is concerned it sounds sketchy.  Laura assures her it will be fine and leaves.  Monica asks Dr. Finn if he would like to stay on staff permanently, at Tracey’s request. He says “sure.”  Laura’s cryptographer turns out to be Kevin (former psychologist at General Hospital); it’s a side-hobby of his.  Might this be a newly-blooming romance??  Dr. Finn makes it back to his hotel room, grabs his journal and his pouch, writes something down and prepares to inject himself again.  Lulu continues to question Nikolas; she knows Hayden has something on him… she suggests having her arrested.  She demands he tell her the truth; he tells her if he does, people she loves will go to prison.  Dante comes in the room and asks what’s going on.  

Jason tells everyone he wants the shares divided as there, per his grandfather’s wishes – and asks Michael if he wants his old job back.  They are all extremely grateful for bringing the Quartermaine legacy back to them; he makes sure they know he couldn’t have done it without Sam’s help.  Tracy, however, who never had any shares – so still doesn’t – is not necessarily happy; she was hoping to get it back herself.  But she does thank Jason and tells him that she is sure his grandfather is smiling at this very moment.  Kevin agrees to help Laura and asks about the reading of the will; Laura describes some of the twisted details.  Lulu fills Dante in on Hayden’s real identity (Rachael Berlin).  After the injection, Dr. Finn passes out on the couch.  Michael fills Sonny and Carly in on the latest news about ELQ; Sonny tells Michael he did not find Sabrina.  Carly has a hotel issue to take care of; Finn isn’t responding to his wake-up call.  Olbrecht is mad because Finn has missed his scheduled residents lecture.  Carly goes to check of Finn; no response, so she uses her key and sees him passed out, syringes laying on the floor.

Wednesday 04-13-2016

Carlos falls to the ground; Sonny stands over Carlos, pointing the gun at him, ready to shoot again.  Anna rushes in the door of the church and screams for him to stop; she begs Sonny not to kill him… bringing him to justice is the last gift she can give to the man she loved.  Morgan talks to Kiki through a video call; she is worried about her scar.  They each get visits from their mothers; Kiki is about to be discharged.  Paul tells Jordan about Anna shooting Carlos, unarmed, four times; Jordan recalls a conversation with Anna.  He tells her he is not planning on pressing charges… just wants to get her back to town safely as soon as possible.  Jordan calls Anna the second Paul leaves.  Andre meets her at Anna’s door, sensing Anna is in trouble.  Carly asks Morgan how he’s feeling, if they’ve figured out the right level for his medication; Morgan says he guesses so (not feeling as stoned).  Carly tells him Sonny went to South America to go after Carlos Rivera.  

Anna insists Sonny let her give this gift to Duke; he steps aside and she puts Carlos in handcuffs.  Andre tells Jordan that Anna was acting strange earlier – she tells him there’s a warrant out for Anna’s arrest.  Paul runs into Dillon at the hospital; there to get his wrist looked at (hurt by the handcuffs, I guess).  Kiki tells Ava that she wants to go home with her, and live with her and Avery… Ava tells her, although she would love that, she can’t.  Kiki’s smile disappears quickly; Ava explains that she wouldn’t be safe if she stayed with her (there are people in the organization that are not happy with her). Alexis meets Julian at the bar.  Hearing him mention trouble on the phone, she asks him what that was about.  He tells her he needs to confess something.  He tells her that he has been actively sabotaging his own magazine and to avoid any legal problems, he turned the whole thing over to Nina.  Alexis is relieved, admitting that she was fearing he was back in the Jerome organization business (which he is)… he smiles, sheepishly.  

Morgan assures Carly that he is not going to get involved in his dad’s business anymore – just wants to get back to his life, and to Kiki.  While Anna bandages Carlos’ wound to keep him from dying before they get back to Port Charles, she tells him he will not get away with what he did.  Andre tells Jordan he cannot tell her anything that he learned from Anna as his patient; she tells him about Anna’s confession and realizes it is not news to him.  Carly insists that Morgan not rush things, and he starts to get a little upset with her.  Kiki asks if Avery is safe; Ava tells her that she is living with Sonny right now, so yes, she is safe.  Ava tells Kiki she has already spoken to Franco and she can go back to her old room where she will be safe.  Back on the plane, Sonny tells Carlos to sit down and shut up – Anna says she has chloroform if he needs it (That’s funny).  The guard enters the plane and tells Anna that they are not going anywhere, except maybe to jail (for knocking him out); Anna apologizes for that.  Sonny throws out the name ‘Don Felipe’ and the guard lets them go.  

Dillon runs into Kiki as she’s being wheeled out of the hospital; they introduce themselves.  As they talk, somebody drops something and Kiki screams and ducks, covering her ears… yep, PTSD.  Jordan leaves in a huff; Andre immediately tries to call Anna.  Paul tells Julian that Carlos has been found and captured; hints to Carlos likely being willing to make a deal and turn on his former boss – Julian plays stupid.  Paul tells him he might want to get all his ducks in a row, in case he wants to ‘take care of anything’… what’s that mean?  Sonny gives Anna his word that Carlos is finally going to pay.

Tuesday 04-12-2016

Carly bumps into Franco at the hospital; they exchange some not-so-friendly words.  She walks away; Franco catches up with her at the elevators.  He thanks Carly for what she did for Kiki after the shooting; then acknowledges Morgan’s responsibility.  She tells him, he of all people should understand; tells him not to talk about her kids anymore.  Anna calls Paul out on his desire to have Carlos killed by Sonny; he denies it of course.  As Paul is leaving Anna’s house, Jordan comes to the door; she asks him what the hell is going on.  He ends up telling her that Anna tried to shoot Carlos before; says he is trying to protect her by issuing the warrant. 

Sonny is shocked to see Carlos dressed as a priest.  Sonny asks if it was a trap, or if he just got lucky – Carlos is pointing a gun at Sonny… he laughs at the situation.  Makes fun of Sonny’s desperation to find him; Sonny is getting pissed off.  Hayden talks to Curtis at the cafĂ©; thinks she has the ELQ shares in hand.  Curtis asks if she any regrets (she says more than she can count).  But, she says, what’s done is done and there is nothing that can be done to change that.  Jason tells Nikolas that he is there to buy ALL 50 of the the shares of ELQ currently being held by Nikolas (the same ones Hayden is demanding be signed over to her).  Lulu and Dante are in the park, getting ready to do some more homework on their marriage counseling; they run into Valerie.  Valerie excuses herself, and Lulu asks her to wait… Lulu proposes that they put things behind them; she congratulates Valerie on her graduation from the academy – she and Dante then get started on the therapy exercises.  Franco continues the conversation, just trying to look out for Kiki; he takes a few jabs at Sonny and their relationship at home perhaps not being so great – she tells him he doesn’t know anything, especially what Sonny is doing right now. 

Hayden tells Curtis she won’t need his protection services anymore.  She tells him she is not spending another night anywhere Nikolas ever again (thinking ‘her’ ELQ shares will enable her to pay for a new life).  Anna gets all dramatic, and tricks the guard, knocking him to the ground, getting off the plane… Sonny asks Carlos if he was the one who shot him and put him in a wheelchair; Carlos laughs.  Of course, it was him – he orders Sonny to kneel down in front of the Virgin Mary and say a prayer (so he can time it to put a bullet in his head just as he says Amen).  Lulu and Dante practice a ‘perception vs. reality’ exercise, saying something to each other and having the other person repeat what they said.  They are realizing that they don’t really listen very well to each other.  Hayden gets up to leave; Curtis asks her if they could be friends, really…just friends.  She appreciates that and hugs him.  Says she could actually use a friend. 

Valerie shows up to see the hug, and questions Curtis what it was about.  Nikols is offended by Jason’s offer, saying it’s pennies on the dollar – Jason tells him either he accepts the deal, or he’s going to the police with the information he has on Nikolas (the same information Hayden/Rachael is blackmailing him with).  Nikolas relents, with a condition.  Nikolas tries to warn Sam that Jason is not good for her; they leave.  Franco tells Carly he knows her well enough to know when she is lying, and angry, and hurt… admits that he doesn’t give a shit about Sonny though.  Sonny begins to pray (hopefully, he will make it a long, drawn-out prayer) – Carlos starts to laugh at him; he makes a comment about Duke that pisses Sonny off.  Sonny hits him and knocks the gun out of his hands; now Sonny is hold the gun on Carlos… and Carlos is begging for his life.  Sonny tells him it wasn’t the plan to shoot him, but sometimes plans change.  When Hayden comes home asking if Nikolas has the papers sign, he tells her no – the stocks are no longer his to give.  Anna arrives at the church just in time to see Carlos lunging to grab the gun from Sonny; the gun goes off.

Nathan and Maxie wake up together, Maxie looks slightly concerned when Nathan comments on how perfect their life is; Maxie tells him she feels bad for what he went through with Claudette… says she wants to help him heal (asks him to talk to her about Claudette).  Nathan becomes defensive; Maxie tells him she just wants to fill in the blanks.  They both apologize, and kiss.  They agree that they are in a good place and don’t need to create problems were they don’t exist.  But when Nathan gets up to shower, Maxie grabs the computer and googles Claudette West.  Ned comes to see Tracy; she tells him she is ready to get back to work.  Tracey asks Ned to text Hayden, “R, I am a awake in ICU eagerly awaiting your visit”… Ned is confused, but does as she asks. 

Hayden tells Nikolas she can’t stand the tension anymore – she reminds him she has the proof that he tried to have her killed and demands that he sign the papers turning everything over to her now… or the next time Spencer sees him, it will be behind bars.  When Nikolas asks why she changed her mind, she said that one night in bed, waiting for him to stab her was enough.  Jason and Sam also wake up together; they look so extremely happy… they get up, ready to make this thing with Nikolas go away.  Sonny and Anna discuss their plans while on their way to get Carlos.  There’s Paul – I hadn’t noticed before that he handcuffed to the banister; he wakes up wondering what Anna did.  Anna confesses her attempt at murdering Carlos on the docks to Sonny. 

Laura walks in and interrupts Nikolas and Hayden; Hayden gets the text message from Ned.  She shows up to visit Tracy, and brings her a gift – a symbol of upcoming luck and great fortune.  Laura is worried for Nikolas.  Paul manages to pick the lock on the handcuffs with a paperclip. When they arrive at their destination, Anna is told that she can’t get off the plane (there is a warrant for her arrest).  Sonny goes alone.  Not sure why the gift of fortune, because Hayden tells Tracy that once Nikolas signs the papers, she is keeping ELQ for herself… Tracy says she can still tell the world about who she is – she says it doesn’t matter because her identity is already out.  Tracy tells her she won’t get away with this – she says, she already has. 

Sonny talks to an associate once on the ground, tells him to call if he hears anything about Rivera.  Jason and Sam show up to talk to Nikolas again; Jason is there to make him an offer he can’t refuse.  Anna calls Paul (tells him she obviously didn’t play dirty enough).  She realizes Paul is hoping that Sonny will end up killing Carlos; Sonny finds Carlos, in a church, masquerading as a priest.

Friday 04-08-2016

Music plays as this episode begins, and candles are being lit… Nina sits on the couch in a negligee, waiting for Franco – he walks in; they kiss.  Dillon and Monica wait for Tracy to come out of surgery; Dr. Monroe was able to remove the larval cyst and residual infection.  Tracy is now in a room with Dr. Finn; he is trying to wake her up.  Carly tells Jason Sonny is going after Carlos Rivera; Sonny tells Michael he’s leaving.  Michael knows he’s going after Carlos; he tells Sonny he is going with him.  Anna drags Paul across her floor, telling him he is not going to stop her from finding Carlos; Andre shows up at her door - she steps outside.  Tracy wakes up; utters a sarcastic remark so Dr. Finn knows she’s okay.  He says, "you made it"; she thanks him, touching his cheek.  He tells the family she has a ways to go, but she will make it. 

Carly begs Jason to stop Sonny from going after Carlos… Sam walks in and asks what’s going on.  Franco pops up over the back of the couch, breathing heavily – can't believe what great sex they just had – asks Nina where that fire came from and she tells him she's hopeful; they may have just made themselves a little bundle of joy.  Anna tells Andre she's "in the middle of something"; he wants to talk about Carlos, and how she feels about the investigation, reminding her if he is found, he may accuse her of attempted murder.  He asks to come in; she quickly she says no… Paul is propped against the wall, still passed out, with duct tape over his mouth, just inside the door.  Sonny tells Michael he can't go – he needs to be there to watch over the family; asks him to go visit his brother.  Michael concedes.   He asks Sonny to take care of Sabrina and the baby and to be careful. 

Carly tells Sam she needs Jason to talk Sonny down; Sam tells Carly that Jason almost killed Nikolas last night… and it took everything she had to talk him down.  Franco reiterates once again that he does not want to have children.  The phone rings - it’s Dr. Lee with Nina’s exam test results.  Dillon and Monica visit Tracy… Tracy tells Monica she loves her (which is huge).  Michael shows up to talk to his aunt.  Meanwhile, Dr. Finn is having a sort of breakdown in the locker room; as he reaches in his locker for his ‘pouch’, Griffin walks in.  Finn tells him he needs some time alone.  Jason shows up to talk to Sonny, to no avail, of course.  Paul wakes up and Andre hears him groaning inside.  Anna makes up a dumb excuse – "Emma is sick" – Andre offers to come in and take a look at her.  Anna says no.  Andre wishes her well and lets her know she could trust him; and then he leaves. Anna runs back inside and holds the chloroform over Paul’s mouth again, apologizing to him.

Nina is upset; the results were not good.  Franco tries to console her, but she's certain he is relieved… tells him not to act like he gives a damn... he got what he wanted, "no kids".  She is inconsolable. 

Dr. Finn now sits in the locker room shower, injecting himself with whatever it is he is dependent upon.  (Something tells me it’s more than recreational drug use.)  Tracy has found a new perspective.  Jason gets home and tells Sam about his conversation with Sonny; he has realized maybe he wasn’t ever as bad a person as he thought he was – Sam assures him, he wasn’t.  The world is a scarier place when you have people to love and lose, she tells him (it sure is)… they kiss.  Sonny calls Carly from the plane; he gives her his word that he will come back to her – Anna makes it to the plane.  Griffin shows up to leave a gift for Emma, while Paul is still duct taped and passed out inside.

Thursday 04-07-2016

Ava wakes up coughing – and chokes up a feather with blood on it, then looks down and sees blood all over her lap; oh, wait... it’s just a dream.  Cristina greets Alexis when she walks in the door, asking how her business trip was and what type of case she was working on (then tells her she knows exactly where she was).  Anna is on the phone telling someone she has to get going; she doesn’t want Carlos to relocate again… Sonny rings her doorbell.  Paul tries to talk to Carly about Carlos, but she is trying not to get involved – he tells her his office is doing everything they can to catch him and she tells him they are not doing a very good job.  Ava condemns Scott for allowing someone into her bedroom; he says he didn’t see anything.  Julian shows up to look at the scene. 

Paul has suspicions now that Anna might have tampered with his phone… Sonny asks Anna where she’s going and insists on going with her when he finds out she’s going after Carlos.  DA Hornsby shows up at Anna’s door as Sonny is leaving; he deduces that they are going hunting for Carlos Rivera.  Alexis admits she was wrong thinking she knew Cristina better than Cristina knows herself.  Sam and Jason discuss their afterglow, and their feelings about being back together – they look very happy.  Ava believes it is Sonny who left the dead bird in her bed; Julian isn’t so sure.  He reminds her that she doesn’t have the backing of the family to retaliate even if it was him – he thinks it’s their own associates doing.  Carly is mad when Sonny tells her he’s leaving.  She begs him not to go.

Alexis apologizes over and over and over, asking for Cristina’s forgiveness.  Sam begins to worry about what other people are going to think about them spending the night together; Jason comforts Sam by saying they are starting fresh, but not starting over.  Cristina admits that this is not entirely her mother’s fault; it isn’t the first secret she’s kept – and she’s still confused about who she is.  They agree to be confused together… and then Alexis asks what they are going to do about Cristina’s father.  Sonny and Carly are still having it out over his planned departure; Carly is getting pretty upset.  She suggests Ava might take advantage of Sonny being gone and come take Avery away.  Ava asks why Julian did fix things like he said he would… he told her he tried, there’s just no coming back from her betrayal to the family, as they see it.  Cristina asks her mom not to tell Sonny.  Sonny tells Carly he knows she can handle this; he has to go.  They kiss, but Carly is obviously worried.

Ava tells Julian she will have to accept Paul’s offer of protection; he tells her no she doesn’t… he’s not going anywhere.  He says he is going to take care of this – she reminds him that he said that before.  He tells her he knows what measures are needed to take care of this now.  Paul is asking Anna to leave this alone (he doesn’t want her going after Carlos because he doesn’t want Carlos to be able to testify against him).  Paul asks her to think about their families, if they get locked up… Anna says she would prefer that her family sees that she lives in truth, rather than die a liar.  Carly goes to Jason’s new place to ask him for help; she is surprised to see Sam there.  Julian meets with his associate – tells him that his sister is off limits, says whoever didn’t back off when he told them to is going to be very sorry.  Ava fires Scott when he returns; she tells him to leave, but then asks him to stay (at least to share his cream cheese).   Sonny comes downstairs to find Carly gone.  Carly explains that this is really urgent; she tells Jason that Sonny needs him.  Hahaha… Paul tries to call and turn Anna in so she can’t leave, but when turns his back she pours chloroform on a rag, and when he sits down on the couch she covers his mouth and holds him tight, until he drops to the floor.

Wednesday 04-06-2016

Alexis goes to meet Parker, and asks if she took advantage of her daughter.  Carly asks Sonny to ignore the lead he got on Carlos.  Curtis tells Nikolas that they had proof he tried to kill ‘his wife’ - Hayden tells Nicolas he is not calling the shots anymore.  Sam is wondering what happened to Nicolas, that he would try to kill someone to keep them in the dark – he was always the “good Casadine” – she says it just doesn’t make sense.  How could he have gone this far? 

Julian comes to talk to Cristina because Alexis told him what was going on with her… he tells her Alexis is disappointed in herself.  Parker tells Alexis questioning your sexuality can lead to an entire identity crisis; Alexis explains how dysfunctional all of Cristina’s relationships with men have been.  Parker swears all she has tried to be to Cristina is a friend – Cristina took it in a direction it shouldn’t have gone.  She is terrified of rejection now; afraid of losing her family’s love. Alexis realizes she didn’t handle things well, and she needs to do better.  Lucas tries to tell Cristina to give her mom a break… Sam confronts Nikolas.  It turns into an all-out brawl; Curtis tries to step in, Jason knocks him to the ground and bloodies Nikolas’ face.  Sam stops Jason short of killing Nikolas; they get out of there.  Hayden ponders what she would have done if Jason had killed Nikoas (seems she really still loves him).  I hate the way they never actually clean a wound or wipe blood away in a television show; Hayden dabs a napkin in water and pats Nikolas’ forhead lightly then holds his face, blood streaming down his check, left unwiped. 

Back at home, Sam and Jason proceed to make love.  Parker tells Alexis she hopes Cristina finds someone who’s worthy of her love; Christina calls Parker and Parker tells her Alexis just left.  Sonny and Carly talk about keeping Avery and their chances in court.  Ava gets ready to go to bed and finds a dead bird under her covers.  When Hayden and Nikolas lay down for bed, they each grab a knife for protection.  The episode ends with a scene of Sam and Jason making love.

 

 

 

Tuesday 04-05-2016

Nikolas tells Elizabeth he is going home to Hayden and that’s all she needs to know; he packs his bags.  Griffin plays with Emma (cute).  Anna gets a visit from Sonny; she reminisces about Duke.  Dante asks Michael if he knows what Sonny’s plans are for Carlos Rivera; Michael denies any knowledge.  Tracy wakes up from her most recent seizure; her boys come in, not yet knowing what happened.  Dr. Finn tells Dillon and Ned that the larval cyst has caused fluid swelling in the brain; she may need surgery. Hayden tells Curtis she doesn’t have a death wish and is not giving up what’s hers – Nikolas owes her for trying to take her life.  She explains she grew up a certain way; she had things, and she can’t be left without a cent.  Curtis tells her the need for money is like an addiction (well said).  Elizabeth gets called to the hospital.  Griffin gets called to the hospital too, and Sonny gives Anna a flash drive (probably from the bug in his office).  Sam comes to visit Nikolas and tells him that Hayden was working with Tracy against him.  Hayden denies being addicted to money; she tells Curtis that the money isn’t for her – she wants to pay back her father’s investors.  He doesn’t buy it.  Nikolas thanks Sam for her work and tells her he is going home to his wife ‘to work things out’ – Sam is stunned.  Anna manages to get her hands on Paul’s phone and switch the SD card back… he is none the wiser.  Nikolas walks in the door and says, “honey, I’m home” – he asks what the plan is.  She has a surprise for him… Curtis is going to be staying with them for a while, to make sure they see things eye-to-eye.  Sam and Jason figure out that Hayden was coming to the garage to tell him who he really was, and Nikolas had her shot before she could.  Ta-da-da-da!

Monday 04-04-2016

Maxie isn’t taking the news about Claudette well… and to think, she was ready to leave it in the past.  Boy, Nathan might be sorry he didn’t listen to her and stop talking when she told him she wasn’t going to borrow trouble.  Curtis tells Nina he knows who is behind the sabotage… in walks Julian.  Now Curtis looks uncomfortable.  Nikolas asks Hayden what she means by ‘what she knows about him’ – she says it’s time for him to pay for his bad decisions and even faultier execution.  Maxie is really mad; she doesn’t want Nathan to even touch her right now… he asks her to please hear him out.  Nina introduces Curtis to Julian; after a few minutes, it dawns on Nina that it was Julian.  Dr. Finn has some anxiety issues; Elizabeth seems to be a little taken by him – Albrecht tells her not to get used to him being around… she says he won’t be there long. 

Hayden tells Nikolas that she knows there was another hitman at the garage that day… the one he sent to kill her.  Nina is throwing a fit, literally, throwing everything she can at Julian.  Ok, Maxie says, tell me everything.  He proceeds to tell her how he and Claudette met; and that he asked her to marry him on their second date.  Jason and Sam go to visit Shawn in prison – she asked if he knew who she was; he didn’t.  He tells them they aren’t the first ones to come to him with the theory that she was the intended target… Hayden herself thought the same thing.  She tells Nikolas she found proof.  She wants him to play the part of adoring husband and sign everything over to her; she calls it ironic.  He tells her he thinks she still loves him.  He tells her they could have a chance at something real, but not if she forces him to stay in this farce of a marriage. 

Franco tells Elizabeth he is proud of her for standing on her own two feet; she thanks him.  Tracy tells Dr. Finn she wants to go home; he tells her no, in fact, he says he will stay with her to make sure she stays.  Elizabeth walks in on the end of Nikolas’ conversation with Hayden; she tells him dinner with be at 7, for two – and tells Elizabeth wherever she and her brats stayed last night, they can stay there again; she is no longer welcome at Wyndemere.  Looks like Nikolas is contemplating killing Hayden once again.  Hayden is asking Curtis to hide all the evidence he found on Nikolas, in case something happens to hers.  He is surprised that she wants to stay with the guy… he advises her not to go back to Wyndemere at all.  He walks Hayden home, even though he thinks it’s a bad idea for her to be there, unless she has a death wish.  Elizabeth asks Nikolas if he is thinking about trying to have her killed again.

Nathan explains that he married Claudette because her greencard was expiring; it was a marriage of convenience, at first – he fell in love, but supposedly she didn’t.  She left.  He swears to her that she is the only one he thinks of now… it was the drugs talking, because of the glove Maxie found in his tux – it was Claudette’s.  Dr. Finn walks with Tracy to the vending machine, until she gets a nose bleed and has another seizure. 

Friday 04-01-2016

Nathan and Dante come into the gym to work out; Curtis is there.  Nina calls him to see if he’s found anything out about who is sabotaging the magazine.  Hayden shows up at Nikolas’ hotel room door; she tries to convince him no to throw their marriage away, saying the love was real.  Maxie is hard at work preparing the office for a special guest interview.  Curtis insults Dante when Dante says that he should treat Valerie with respect.  Sam comes to see Jason’s new apartment; he tells her the pictures he found make it feel like home, even though he doesn’t remember them.  I like the way they are working in a serious conversation, between Cristina and Lucas, about a modern-day issue (the way many parents react to a child telling them they are “maybe-possibly” gay); hopefully, this will help somebody that might happen to have that conversation with their kid to handle it with grace and love.  Sam fills Jason in on Raymond Berlin and his ponzi scheme; she tells him that they need to keep investigating Hayden, she’s the best lead they have. 

No matter how much Hayden tries to persuade Nikolas, he can’t seem to get over the fact that she was lying to him the whole time.  Alexis talks to Julian about Cristina’s confession and how she handled it; she says, though, that she has a legitimate reason to be concerned.  Maxie tells their special guest how much she admires him; he tells her she’s wearing a great pair of shoes.  Maxie mentions that her boyfriend got them for her and a conversation ensues; he advises her not to “borrow trouble”, to leave the past in the past.  Sam and Jason try to figure out if the bullet that hit Hayden might have actually been meant for her.  They think there might have been a second shooter.  As Nikolas holds Hayden’s head in his hands, he looks as if he wants to choke her; he tells her their farce of a marriage is over.  He tells her he is having it annulled; she closes his hotel room door and says, “I don’t think so.”  Lucas tells Cristina to trust her own feelings and not worry about putting a label on herself or her sexuality.  Maxie introduces Nathan to their special guest, Joe Z… he gets a call and has to fly back to L.A.  He’ll facetime the feature; he’s thinking footwear.  Nathan asks Maxie to go for a walk… he tells her that Claudette was his wife.  Hayden tells Nikolas they are not getting a divorce – because of what she knows about him.

Thursday 03-31-2016

Emma is visiting Anna; Griffin brings her the dna test results.  Kiki is confused; Morgan says he’s glad to see her and then asks her not to come back again.  He tells her he’s no good for her – she tells him that’s insane.  She tells him to quit trying to make this his fault.  She also tells him that it’s not even her mom’s fault; she was coerced into the whole thing.  Carly tries to convince Ava that Avery would be better off staying with them; Ava tells Carly they don’t need to discuss it right now, she is only there because she brought Kiki to see Morgan.  She thanks Carly for what she did for Kiki, keeping her alive until the paramedics got there.  They agree they need to find a way to co-exist.

Kiki tells Morgan to get better so he can get out, for him, and for her.  Julian accuses Sonny of sending Ava the black rose… he looks genuinely confused; says he has better things to do, like looking for Carlos.  Anna introduces Griffin Monroe to Emma, as Uncle Duke’s son.  Emma and Griffin have a nice talk.  Paul Hornsby confronts Dr. Finn; he is asking about Tracy… Finn refuses to tell him anything.  Julian still thinks Carlos is dead – Sonny tells him otherwise.  Julian leaves; Sonny makes a phone call… he plans on meeting the DA at Kelly’s. 

Kiki tells Morgan that he needs to accept the fact that he matters to her; he tells her he is feeling so flat, he doesn’t know if his emotions will ever return.  She asks him if he was really going to jump when he was on that rooftop – he says yes, he was.  She touches his face and tells him she never wants him to feel that way again.  Then somebody drops a tray and Kiki has a panic attack… she must have PTSD.  Morgan manages to calm her down.  Dr. Finn writes in his journal and then prepares to inject himself again; Carly walks in on him, bringing clean towels.  She apologizes; the staff refuses to come into his room because of Roxy.  Dr. Finn tells Carly how he found Roxy in the bush in Australia – or she found him – malnourished and alone and how she crawled back into his pack when he tried to set her free, so he kept her.  Sweet story.  Carly is touched.  She leaves and Finn quickly finishes his injection. 

Anna provides a distraction for Sonny so that his man can bug Paul’s phone; she introduces him to Griffin.  Carlos calls Paul; Paul denies telling the press that he is alive.  Ava wants to know what Julian had to promise the organization to keep her in the clear; he tells her it’s not their problem.

Wednesday 03-30-2016

Scott is woken up by Ava with a glass of cold water being poured on his face… Kiki wakes up to find Franco at her bedside; he got her a new pair of shoes.  She asks him if he knows if Morgan has been to see her; she’s been kind of out of it.  He tells her Morgan has been admitted to the mental hospital.  He tries to convince her that she needs to stay away from him anyway.  Scott asks Ava why she did that; she said she has been trying to wake him up for ten minutes – someone could have come in and killed her.  He suggests maybe he should stay in her bed. 

Michael goes to visit Morgan; Morgan tells him that he feels broken inside and he doesn’t think he can be fixed.  Julian comes to visit Ava… he is surprised to see Scott there; she tries to explain.  He tells her that he has set up a meeting with an associate, and everything will be taken care of by the end of the day.  She senses that something is wrong, but she heads off to the hospital to visit Kiki.  Carly and the kids are getting ready to go see Morgan… she questions Sonny about how he is planning to catch Carlos.  Joslyn comes in and says that Avery is in her carseat and ready to go; Carly wants to keep talking, Sonny does not.  Julian’s associate is not happy; Julian says Ava working with law enforcement was just a cover to keep her out of prison – ok, he accepts that, says he will inform the organization.  Then he tells Julian that the need him to come back and head up the family. 

When Ava comes in, Kiki demands that she tell her everything she knows about Morgan… then she tells her she needs a favor; she wants to go see Morgan.  Sonny is setting up the bugs for DA Hornsby.  Cristina comes clean with her mom about her questionable sexual identity – Alexis is not quite sure how to react.  Franco overhears Scott forwarding his mail to Ava’s address; he asks him to at least tell him he’s not sleeping with her.  Scott asks him how he and Nina are doing – he tells him she wants a kid, but he doesn’t; he asks if that could be a deal-breaker… Scott says, absolutely.  Morgan cuts his visit with the family short; he doesn’t want his sisters in that place… Carly stays and has Michael drive the girls home.  Sonny tells Michael he needs him to be there for his mother, because he’s not going to be able to be.  Morgan is surprised to see Kiki when she strolls into his room with her walker; but he tells her he needs her to go and not ever come back again.  When Michael questions why Sonny isn’t going to be there, Sonny just says that the lines between his business and family are starting to blur and he has to go take care of something.  When he opens his door to leave, Julian is standing there.

Friday 03-25-2016

Anna begins to question Griffin about who he really is; he insists he is Duke’s son.  He asks her to run a dna test.  Parker stops kissing Cristina and tells her this can’t happen again – Cristina asks why not.  Cristina asks her if she’s just playing with her; if it’s fun for Parker to watch her embarrass herself, or does she really care for her? Hayden asks Elizabeth who she thinks she is… Elizabeth turns the question on her, calling her by the name ‘Rachael Berlin’.  Hayden pretends not to know what she’s talking about – apparently she is someone who was involved in a scandal on Wall Street?  Laura slowly lifts the lid to the trunk.  All that is in there is a textbook that apparently used to belong to Scotty Baldwin; he was a law student when they were first married. 

Hayden begs Elizabeth not to tell Nicolas; she says she wants to tell him herself… Nicolas walks in the door and asks what they are talking about.  Elizabeth tells him – her father is Raymond Berlin, Investment Advisor who bilked his clients out of billions of dollars.  He is in prison; her mother is still alive… Nicolas is furious that she lied to him about her parents being dead (she tells him they might as well be).  He knows for a fact she has been using him now.  Lulu asks Laura if she can let it go now; treasure hunt is over.  Parker apologizes to Cristina; says she should have called – Cristina insists she must have wanted something from her and that’s why she came.  Parker asks Cristina what she wants; she says her… the only woman that has ever made her feel this way. 

Parker apologizes again; tells Cristina that she needs to explore this side of her without fear and without shame… and without her.  Cristina says she doesn’t know how to do that; Parker hugs her gently and tells her goodbye and leaves.  Paul Hornsby tries to make Carlos a deal he can’t refuse; Carlos threatens to tell on Paul if he doesn’t keep sending him money.  Anna comes to see Paul; she wants to know if he is any closer to bringing in Carlos.  She says she is going to find Carlos herself and bring him in.  Lulu drops the book and an old, pressed wrist corsage falls out of the pages; it brings back memories (from before Helena was a part of her life).  Hayden tries to explain herself; she tells Nicolas what they have is real… he’s not buying it now.  She begs him to believe her; she said she was humiliated about who she was – but the one big truth is that she loves him – he just may consider forgiving her.  Sonny talks to Griffin about Duke; Griffin asks Sonny to forgive the man who killed his father.  Paul calls somebody and gives them a ‘tip’ – the PVPD made a mistake in identifying body… Carlos is still alive

Thursday, 03-24-2016

Hayden arrives at the hotel room where her mysterious contact told her to come pick up the papers; it’s Diane… Nicolas sits in a chair inside the room.  He looks pissed.  Laura and Lulu walk into Wyndemere and Elizabeth tells them she found something; but then she says she may be being paranoid.  Maxie tries to talk to Griffin about being in the upcoming ‘real men’ issue of Crimson, but he wants nothing to do with it; when Maxie asks him why he’s being so cold, he tells her it’s because of her boyfriend.  Diane tells Hayden she doesn’t like being misled like this; Nicolas asks to speak to Hayden alone.  Parker tells Cristina that she caught wind of this guy snooping around the campus asking about her professors from last semester; she’s concerned.  Cristina assures her that the investigation is over.  Parker touches her semi-intimately when she grabs for her purse; she apparently still cares for Cristina. 

Elizabeth and Lulu both tell Laura that she should throw the key away and forget about Helena… but she is insistent that she must know what it is for and what it means.  Michael comes to talk to Anna, asking her for information on where Carlos is so he can try to find Sabrina.  She doesn’t have any information for him; Griffin is at her door when Michael goes to leave.  Hayden has an explanation; she claims she was just preparing, in case it looks like he is going to lose ELQ – she had Diane draw up papers transferring ownership to her.  Nicolas appears to buy her story; he tells her he is there to change his will for her.  Parker tells Cristina that she does still care about her; she needs to know that she’s going to be alright – Christina tells her she doesn’t know if she ever will again.  Maxie talks to Nathan about Griffin acting weird; he acts oblivious.  They decide they need to go home, because he ‘should be in bed’ – it’s his last day of medical restriction. 

Anna shows Griffin pictures of Duke and talks to him about their love for each other; she cries as she tells him about their last day together.  Laura asks Elizabeth why she’s being so quiet… she tells her she’s just contemplating – says she understands her desire to know – sometimes, it’s just better to know the truth.  When they leave, she gets back on Hayden’s computer; the search results show a Naomi Dreyfus-Berlin (Elizabeth thinks that name sounds familiar).  Hayden kisses Nicolas and tells him she’s glad they had this ‘misunderstanding’; he doesn’t look thrilled as she walks out the door.  He questions Diane about Hayden’s intentions… she suggests he not sign the documents if he has any doubts about his wife.  Nicolas decides to table any changes to his will for now. 

When Hayden gets home she tells Elizabeth she is going to have her and her boys kicked out; Elizabeth tells her she is the one who will be leaving – and she won’t be coming back.  When Parker goes to leave, she kisses Cristina goodbye.  Lulu and Laura find a relatively new trunk up in the attic; the key turns the lock.

Wednesday 03-23-2016

Cristina writes in her diary; Sonny shows up at her door.  Tracy is tired of Albrecht’s attitude – she wants to have a board meeting and vote her out of her chief position.  As Carly conducts business on the phone, one of her staff comes running out of Dr. Finn’s room (probably because of his lizard).  Laura finds Nicolas staring at his phone at the diner; she tells him that she is going to look for answers to the key Helena left her… and she thinks Nicolas should look for answers too.  Cut to Hayden on the phone with somebody, asking when the papers are going to be ready so she can pick them up.  Who is Naomi Dreyfus, and why is Hayden Googling her?  Elizabeth is wondering too.  Hayden proceeds to insult Elizabeth, calling her a freeloader and basically trailer-trash… Elizabeth is not shaken.  She asks Hayden, again, who this woman is and what it is she is hiding.  Nicolas tells Laura he has no desire to know anything about the painting or why Helena left him nothing else in the will… he wins by ignoring it, as he sees it.  But Laura says she cannot ignore that key. 

Tracy continues her insistence that Dr. Finn be accredited and allowed to start practicing at the hospital immediately; apparently, his lizard is loose in the hotel room (Roxy – his service animal).  All the sudden, Carly notices how much this guy looks like Silas (funny how they try to play that off as so common in soap operas).  Sonny tells Cristina that he loves her no matter what she has done; he says he is disappointed in himself for reacting the way he did and asks her if they can put this behind them – except for one more thing; he wants the professor to take some responsibility.  She gets him to back down.  Albrecht finally agrees to give Dr Finn temporary privileges to begin treatment for Tracy.  Cristina is writing in her diary again; the doorbell rings – it’s Parker. 

Monica calls Dr. Finn to let him know that he has approval to work at the hospital and the medicine he ordered for Tracy has arrived.  Elizabeth gets on Hayden’s computer after Hayden leaves; she is stunned by what she finds.
