05-04-2017 (Thursday) The Goodbye

Sonny and Carly sit down with their attorneys; Carly’s attorney hits hard, accusing Sonny of having offshore accounts and threatening him with prison time for federal violations, if he doesn’t reveal all of his assets.  Carly tells her she doesn’t want to bring up the legality of his offshore holdings; Martina tells Sonny he should thank his wife for her generosity.  She suggests he release his claim on all of the other property, in return; he says he is willing to let her have most of it, but there are some things he just won’t let go.  Carly says she will see him in court then, and gets up, saying they are done there; Diane says she will request a court date.  She leaves the room; Sonny and Martina now look at each other.  She says this is quite a surprise; he accuses her of setting the whole thing up.  She swears it was all a coincidence; he says they still have a problem.  He says they need to come clean and admit what happened; she says there is no way they are doing that.  Carly comes back in the room and asks what they are talking about; Martina says she was telling Sonny she looks forward to seeing him in Court.

Nathan is upset that Maxie isn’t coming home; he tears up the Welcome Home card that was left for her, by the cleaners he hired, along with a dozen red roses.  After Tracy announces she is leaving Port Charles, everyone says their goodbyes; Finn tries to talk her out of going… everyone else knows not to bother.  Lulu tells her she has always been her hero; Maxi calls Lulu.  Michael tells her that he will do his best to take over the reigns at the company; she tells him she has no doubt he will shine.  She turns to Ned and tells him that he doesn’t have to change his name because he was always truly a Quartermaine, no matter what name he carried.  He says he will carry it with pride; she tells him he is her rock; he always has been, and always will be.  They hug and she exits the room.  Olivia tells Ned that she has decided she will take the Quartermaine name as well; together, they will look after Port Charles, she says.

Monica calls for the private jet to take her wherever she wants to go; she tells her a car will be there for her shortly.  Monica tells her that she loves her, although she isn’t quite sure when it happened.  Tracy smiles.  She leaves; she runs back in for one last hug before leaving.  Nurse Amy comes to see Maxie; Nathan explains that she isn’t in town.  Amy is made because she flaked out on the Nurses Ball; Nathan reveals his sadness about her absence.  Amy ‘counsels’ him not to give up; she says, if it’s meant to be, they will make it work one way or another.  He thanks her for her encouragement and leaves the room for a minute; she tears the picture of him and Maxie (that was attached to the card he tore up) in half and takes it, and smiles.  Tracy has made arrangements for the sale ahead of time; she completes the sale, and a montage of clips from her time on the show plays, both old and new.  She turns to walk out and there is Luke, in a wheelchair, looking very sickly.
