11-11-2016 (Friday) FINAL GOODBYES

Elizabeth stresses over her attacker being released on parole; Franco vows that he will stop the man before he can hurt her.  She says she doesn’t want him going after the guy.  Griffin, Anna, Dante and Lulu gather before the service; Griffin shares the news that Valentin Cassadine is Charlotte’s father, not him.  They are all stunned.  They understand why Claudette when to such great lengths to protect that little girl from him.

Hayden stops breathing…Laura calls the hospital for a helicopter; they bring Hayden in to the hospital.  They hook her up to an I.V. and the machines start beeping; she is in sepsis.  She goes into convulsions, they roll her on her side, Finn injects something that calms her; she stabilizes.  Tracy comes in to check when she hears about Hayden; Finn comes out and tells Tracy and Laura that she’s okay for now.  Tracy informs him that Monica has quarantined his lab, but she has an idea.  She is going to transfer Hayden to her home and have Finn treat her there as a private patient… they ask Elizabeth to help get Hayden ready, with a week’s supply of the medication they just gave her.  Laura smiles as they make it into the elevator, and commends Tracy on really sticking her neck out for the people she cares about, meaning Finn and Hayden.

Andre and Jordan have lunch and discuss the fact that they both feel the need to be at Morgan’s memorial service; Julian comes by and gloats, egging Jordan to arrest Sonny.  Curtis comes in to meet with Julian; he has ‘intel’ into the attempt on his life.  He says someone called Pete, causing him to walk away from it, long enough for someone to slip the bomb into the car… no more than three minutes.  He got a name of the man making that call – Oscar Jessup?  Either way, Julian claims it doesn’t ring a bell.

At the church, Sonny tells Jax the gun is just for protection, because “you never know” you know?  Jax asks Sonny to give him the gun, saying he needs to think of his children; Sonny says he is thinking of his kids and, after today, he won’t be a problem for them anymore.  Jason gets a call from Max; the ‘broker’ is at Sonny’s house – Jason asks him how the bomb ended up in Julian Jerome’s car.  He asks why the message, calling it off, didn’t get delivered.  The guy says he doesn’t know; he says he called the deal off as soon as she got off the phone with Sonny.  He swears his guy was not responsible for the bomb in Julian’s car.  Jason tells him that he wants a call from his guy, verifying that he did not follow through.  He leaves to go to the service.  Molly prays by the candles (she got a haircut; cute).  Joslyn comes in and kneels beside her and lights another candle.  They put their arms around each other.  

Kristina is a little upset with her mother for the way she is treating her dad; Carly apologizes.  Michael takes Kristina away; Bobbi comforts Carly as Nelle enters the chapel.  Alexis shows up and hugs Sonny; says hi to Jax and tells him to leave Sonny alone today of all days.  Kiki shows up, but hesitates to go in; Dillon arrives and talks her into it, saying Morgan would want her here.  The service begins; Kristina speaks…then Dante, next Joslyn sings Amazing Grace, Michael speaks after about Morgan’s capacity to forgive (Kiki gets up and walks out at this point), Michael then looks at his mother and father, Carly gets up next (and speaks about the empty coffin, filled with pictures and all of Morgan’s favorite things – symbols of her son’s life and potential), Jason comforts her when he comes in, people then start clearing out; Sonny gets up and says there’s something he has to say…he says there’s only one way he knows to make things right so his son can be at peace.  He pulls the gun out of his pants; everyone gasps.
