Franco and Elizabeth go to the police station; Franco tells Jordan he is about to give her everything she needs to close the investigation into the attacks at General Hospital.  Franco explains that his mother, while out on an unauthorized field trip from the crazy hospital, was the one who attacked Bobbi and Lucas.  They play the recording, but Jordan says it’s not enough; Franco hands her two checks and a rental receipt for a car, rented by the guard who accepted payment from Heather and helped his mother slip out.  

Julian thanks Nina for ‘putting some money into his pocket’ and for being one of the only people in town who isn’t judging him… she asks who says she’s not.  She tells him he’s slime, he has brought nothing but pain into everyone’s life.  He tells her he took the fruit basket to Sonny’s; she says she’s surprised he’s still alive.  She tells him she doesn’t like him, but she doesn’t wish him dead.  He mentions wanting to get Alexis back; Nina tells him she thinks it will happen ‘never.’  He says she’s wrong.  

Alexis runs into Sonny on the Floating Rib; he tells her he doesn’t want to be rude, but doesn’t feel like company – she tells him she is sorry about Morgan – he really doesn’t want to hear it and excuses himself to go inside.  Alexis talks to Diane on the phone; she lies to her, telling her she’s with the girls right now (she’s really standing on the boat, enjoying a drink.)  Jason talks to Max, who tells him that Sonny is alone and in bad shape; Jason asks if he’s drinking and he says “non-stop.”  Jason asks if he’s taking his meds… he says he doesn’t know; he tells Jason that he has to take care of him or something else bad is going to happen.  Jason tells Max to let him know if Sonny starts spiraling out of control; Max insists he needs to do something now.  Sam comes home, with Danny (dressed as a pirate); Max hugs Sam and leaves.  She asks why Max was there; Jason says he’s worried about Sonny, and so is he.  He fills her in on what Max said; she agrees Jason needs to try and says moving can wait… Carly, Sonny and the kids need them right now.  

Ava meets with Scotty and tells him that she is still worried for her safety, because she “killed Morgan.”  Scotty tells her that’s not true; but she argues and explains that she was the one who set everything in motion.  She says Sonny will kill her if he ever finds out; Sonny overhears and asks what he doesn’t know.  She looks terrified, but tells him she knows something about Morgan’s death; Scotty interrupts, telling her this is a bad idea.  Ava tells Sonny that she saw Morgan at the Floating Rib that night, claiming she tried to talk to him and reason with him, tried to stop him from leaving, but he wouldn’t listen to her – she says she feels guilty because she was the last one to talk to him and she knew he was in bad shape; she says she should have gone after him.  Sonny walks out onto the deck and talks to Alexis now; he recalls the last time he and Morgan talked, wishing he would have said something else to him.  He said he told him he was disappointed in him, and accused him of lying; his regret is that being the last thing Morgan thought of in the last few hours of his life.  Alexis puts her arm around him.  

Ava tells Scotty that he shouldn’t have stopped her from going after Morgan and runs out, blaming him for Morgan's death; Scott follows her, sits down with her and she then starts to cry, realizing she was also the one who made Morgan think Kiki was cheating on him, which set him off.  Scotty tells her she has to learn to live with what she’s done; he tells her he is still her lawyer, and hopefully, still her friend.  Alexis tells Sonny that this all started because she blew her testimony and set Julian free; if he had been sent to prison, none of this would have happened.  Sonny tells her he doesn’t blame her; she tells him no one person is really to blame, not even him… it was the result of a whole lot of horrible circumstances.  Julian sees Sonny outside the door; Nina tells him to leave Sonny alone for once.  Sonny sees Scotty and says he is the reason Morgan is dead; if Scott had done his job, he says, Julian would have been in prison.  They get into a physical struggle; Ava texts Jason.  

Hayden and Finn are making out on the couch; Tracy shows up at the door.  They try not to answer, but she insists; he lets her in and she asks if he ended up jousting with Hayden’s date for her hand last night.  They both look guilty.  Apparently Finn had called Tracy to tell her that she should give Hayden another chance at ELQ; Hayden gets pissed that he did that without talking to her, and Tracy fells like it’s a set up.  Somehow, Hayden misunderstands Finn’s attempt and says he went to a lot of trouble to try to manipulate her out of his life.  She tells Tracy she doesn’t want to work with her and Tracy says that’s good because she wouldn’t hire her to clean her floors.  After she leaves, Finn tells Hayden that seeing her sleeping on his couch this morning made him feel happier than he has any day since his wife died; he admits that it did scare him a little, and he called Tracy just to give her something better to focus on besides him.  But he tells her when he kissed her, he wasn’t thinking about anything else in the world but her; but Hayden insists his wife is still there, keeping him from giving himself to anyone, including her.  She leaves.
