11-03-2016 (Thursday) Out of Order...sorry.

Nelle brings files into Carly and asks what else she can do; Carly tells her to hold her calls.  Sonny walks in.  She asks Nelle to wait and asks Sonny what he wants; he gives her a folder, saying he has set up a foundation for kids with mental illness.  She agrees to help try to get people to donate; she asks Nelle to give them a minute.  Then she lays into Sonny again for his part in Morgan’s death, saying he can start all the foundations he wants, but it won’t take away his responsibility in this.  He says he knows; he asks if he can speak at Morgan’s memorial; Carly says, of course.

Jason demands that Curtis tell him what he is hiding; he shows him some form on his phone that, he says, is all he needs to connect Sonny to the bombing.  Jason laughs at the evidence and says that doesn’t connect sonny to the bombing in any way; Curtis says we’ll see.  He leaves; Carly shows up.  She shows him the folder Sonny gave her; he looks at the amount of the donation and senses something is wrong.  Nelle comes in and hears Sonny talking to himself; she tells him it sounds like he is planning on leaving town – he asks her to forget what she heard.  He says he needs to do this his way; she agrees, except to say that if he does leave, then she will have to tell Carly what she heard.  That’s fine he says; none of this will matter then.  He writes a note and puts it in an envelope.  

Dante calls Lulu into the station to show her that they have Daphne in the interrogation room.  When they inquire as to how she ended up on Cassadine Island, she tells them that Helena had hired her to come there… to bare her grandchild.  Daphne tells her that she was paid to carry an embryo that Starvros had sired; Lulu gets excited, but then Daphne tells her it never actually happened.  Helena called off the deal at the last minute; she said she seemed defeated that day – she had been told the embryo was no longer viable and had been disposed of.  (We’ve heard that one before.)  She tells Lulu she is sorry for their loss; the guards come in to take her for arraignment.  Dante comforts Lulu; she tells him that she realizes how blessed they are to have Rocco and that’s enough for her.  

Maxie meets with Nina; Nina asks when they were going to tell her that she is “no longer an Aunt.”  Maxie explains that she and Nathan have been a little busy, with her being kidnapped and him barely rescuing her in time.  Then she mentions crossing Valentin; Nina says, “wait, what?”  Maxie remembers that she and Valentin had been intimate; she apologizes.  Nina tells her its okay, reminding her that she helped turn him in before.  Maxie panics, saying she needs protection in case Valentin wants revenge; Nina tells her revenge is the last thing on his mind.  Griffin calls to check on Charlotte; Nathan comes to talk to him.  He says someone has been asking questions about Charlotte.  He tells him he needs to establish his paternity ASAP because, as it is (since he is not on the birth certificate), Charlotte is technically a ward of the state, with her mother having abandoned her.  Griffin worries that filing paperwork to get custody of Charlotte will alert Valentin to the fact that she is still here in town.  Griffin asks a nurse how long the lab holds on to past DNA evidence; she says 90 days.  He asks for Brad Cooper to run a DNA comparison; he gives his sample.  

Anna goes to Valentin’s hotel room; she knocks on the door… he comes up behind her in the hall.  He opens his door and invites her in, extending his hand and introducing himself; Anna tells him they have met before.  He insists they haven’t; she doesn’t push the issue.  She simply asks him what he is doing there in Port Charles.  He asks her to tell him why she thinks he is there; after all, he says, he is an innocent man.  She says not necessarily; he was only found ‘not guilty.’  She tells him that she is thinking he is not even who he says he is, adding that up until five years ago, there was no record that a Valentin Cassadine even existed.  He says he is willing to take a DNA test; he admits that no records exist because no one wanted to admit that he did.  Anna asks him how he is connected; she says she will find out.  She then suggests that he just leave town before she uncovers his secret; she tells him he is an insignificant, little man, who is lashing out at the world because his daddy didn’t love him.  Valentin loses his temper and tells her to shut up; Anna laughs at him.  He asks her to leave; she does, after telling him that if any one gets hurt because of him, she will lock him up faster than he can say the word ‘extradition.’  She suggests he get out of town.  Anna goes to tell Griffin that she talked with Valentin; she says he never once mentioned Claudette or Charlotte… Griffin says maybe he doesn’t know his daughter is still in town.  Anna says, still, she got the distinct feeling that he was hiding something dangerous.
