05-09-2017 (Tuesday) Jason, the Scarecrow

Sonny tells Martina she has a problem… and he has a solution; Martina tells him, if he is planning on blackmailing her, it will undermine his case.  He tells her that’s not it; he tells her about Ava making threats to expose their affair.  Martina realizes, if that happens, they both lose; Sonny tells her that’s why he needs her help.  He tells Martina that Carly is going to ask questions, and Lulu is her cousin, so she could get the security footage; he tells her if they can agree on a settlement and finalize the divorce, there would be nothing for Ava to hold over their heads.  She says she feels like there’s a catch; Sonny tells her, that’s because there is.  He says she has to talk Carly into dropping her claim on his assets; she says he’ll have to meet Carly halfway.  Sonny says that is halfway; she has her stuff, he has his.  Kristina comes to see her father; he tells her everything is good.  She tells him she knows better; she says Michael told her that Carly is taking everything.  She tells him she is going to work at Perks, until she saves up enough money to go back to school; he offers to help, saying he and Carly are going to settle soon.

Bobbie seems to defend Sonny, as she talks to her daughter; she tells Carly that she doesn’t need the money and shouldn’t be trying to hang onto all the assets.  Carly says she is going to make sure Sonny doesn’t see one dime of what he signed over to her, for what he did to Jax.  She tells her mother, she is so angry with Sonny and she doesn’t see that changing; but she says, writing in her journal made her remember what it was like to love Sonny, and be loved by him.  Bobbie asks if Morgan hadn’t died, if Carly thinks they would still be together; she simply says she can’t live in the fantasy of who she wants Sonny to be.  When Carly’s lawyer shows up, Bobbie excuses herself, and jokes about wanting to kill Lucy.  Carly tells Martina that her son wants her to give Sonny what is his and keep what’s hers; Martina says he may have a good point.  Carly starts to be suspicious when Martina says, she should present all of her options, and one would be to divide the assets fairly; Carly asks her what is up.  She says she simply takes pride in doing what is best for her client, regardless of how it impacts her fee, personally.  She tells her because of their ability to work together for Avery’s sake, shows that they have the ability to compromise; she tells her, her advice as her attorney is to compromise.

Lulu finds Nina at the Metro Court, and asks her for a favor; she’s wondering if they can take Charlotte on a late afternoon trip, and was wondering if she could spend the night.  Nina says no.  Lulu gets into a bickering contest with Nina, who says the problem is that they give her an inch and she wants to take a mile; Nina says Lulu isn’t considering Charlotte’s feelings.  Lulu tells Nina she won’t even be Charlotte’s step-mother for long; she says Valentin will betray her like he has everyone else.  Laura tells Lulu their table is ready; Lulu sarcastically apologizes to Nina.  Nina asks her brother how he can be friends with that girl; he says she isn’t always like that.  She tells him she loves Valentine, and she knows he loves his daughter; she says she’ll be damned if Lulu will break up their family.  Lulu tells her mom, the more time Charlotte spends with her, the more she will rely on her, and the less she will need Valentine and Nina.  She gets a text from Olivia; Lulu has to go pick up Rocco and Leo.  Olivia has to deal with a problem at the hotel.  Nina tells Nathan that she has decided to give Maxi her job back; she says she misses her at work and she is tired of seeing him pine for her, but Maxi replies to Nina’s email/offer by declining, saying she isn’t sure she is going to return to Port Charles at all.

Anna finds Valentine, on a walk; she tells him that she was actually following him, because they need to talk.  He asks why; she says they need to talk about the Chimera project.  She tells him it was easier not knowing what she did to him, because now that she knows, it’s all she can think about; he scoffs at her.  She tells him she needs to know who else was interested in buying the secrets and who he turned it over to; he tells her he doesn’t want to discuss this.  Anna does her best to talk him into telling her, but he says he “can’t.”  He says he sold it for a spectacular amount of money to the highest bidder; but he says whoever bought it is dead… stone dead.

Jason runs into Franco, in Greece; Franco says his sole motivation is to help Jake.  He says he is there to solve the mystery of the scarecrow; he tells Jason that he has a boat and he is going to have to work together with him.  Franco says if there are any answers, they are on Cassadine Island; Jason agrees to go with him on his boat.  When hey arrive on the island, they find a scarecrow; as Jason goes to check it out, Franco finds something else… it’s a picture of the Chimera, on a tree.  They determine it’s the tree he drew, that he was hiding behind; they look from his vantage point and can’t see the scarecrow.  Jason says all he could see is a wall; Jason and Franco start looking at everything on the wall.  They find chains; Jason has a flashback of being chained to the wall.  He tells Franco, it’s him; Jason says, “I’m the scarecrow.”
