05-18-2017 (Thursday) Chocolate Chip Pancakes

Valentine tries to call Nina again; he assures her that Anna Devane won’t be coming between them again.  She still refuses to come back home.  An apparent flashback to Anna’s last meeting with Valentin; he ties her up to the staircase handrail.  He tells her now is where she’s tries to escape and leaves. She gets untied; her phone rings.  She answers it; it’s the doctor, caring for her in London.  She tells him Valentin is on to them; he says they have a bigger problem, “Anna escaped” he tells her.  Ah… so this is Alex, not Anna!  He tells Alex Anna has figured out she switched places with her and is on her way back to Port Charles now; he tells her she has to get out of there now.  Robyn gets off a plane and sees ‘her mother’ standing there at the airport; Alex does her best to be motherly, but Robyn senses that something is wrong.  She tells Robyn that she just has to go take care of something and she’ll be back in time for the Ball; she holds out her arms to get a hug from Emma, but Emma shakes her head, and says, “that’s not grandma.”  Robyn realizes Emma is right, and suddenly, Anna appears behind Alex.

Laura runs into Dilllon; she tells him his mom left her some pretty big shoes to fill.  Brad overhears her talking and asks if he might talk to her.  He tells her about Dr. Finn’s addiction; she tells him she has no interest in starting a witch hunt, reminding him that Finn is doing everything he is required to do, taking classes and taking tests.  He keeps insisting she do something, and she puts him in his place; she tells him at this time, there is nothing further to discuss.  Finn and Hayden talk, out loud, about him needing to take another test, since the most recent one still came back positive.  He appears to fall for it.  They sit down and talk about the baby; Hayden tells Finn that she thinks she would like to have the baby.  He tells her he would understand if she didn’t want him around; she tells him the past is the past and they are moving forward… they are doing this, together.  The nurse comes by to take Finn’s blood for the repeat test; Brad stands nearby, looking at records.  They catch him when he goes in to retrieve the urine sample.

Rocco tells Charlotte that his dad makes the best pancakes in the world; Rocco is happy when he sees there are chocolate chips in them.  Chocolate chips are for special occasions; Lulu says this qualifies since it’s the first morning they are spending together as a family.  Valentin shows up to get Charlotte; Lulu tells him Dante can take her when he drops off Rocco.  They have an appointment, she tells him, with the case worker; Valentin does his best to make it seem as if there was no problem and the case worker is impressed that they managed to work things out for themselves last night.  After she leaves, he asks Lulu what kind of game she’s playing.  She tells him she wants him to drop the custody suit.  He refuses and leaves; Lulu tells Dante that everything is falling into place and Charlotte will be with them soon.

Michael talks to Kiki at the hospital; he asks her if she could check on her for him.  She tells him Nelle is lucky to have him as a friend; he tells her a lot of people don’t think he should be her friend.  She reminds him that he is a good person, and if he cares about Nelle, she says, there must be a good reason.  Nina shows up at the hospital; she thanks him for letting her know that Nelle was attacked.  She says she feels responsible for having Nelle get involved in her marital problems; she goes in to talk to Nelle.  She offers to let Michael come in with her, but he says he is going to respect Nelle’s wishes not to see him.  Nina tells Nelle she still has her job if she wants it, but lets her know she will be answering directly to Valentin; she tells Nelle that she is there fore her and always will be, and she tells her that there’s someone else who feels the same way, referring to Michael, of course.  She leaves.  Nelle tries to get out of bed; she keeps grabbing her side.  Laura sees Michael in the hall and asks if they can talk for a moment, he say sure and heads off with her; Nelle makes it out the door and looks around.

Kiki and Dillon are at the cafĂ©; she’s waiting for her test results on the certification to become a nurse’s aid.  She’s nervous.  He asks her if she will go to the Nurses’ Ball with him; she says no, at least until she finds out if she passed or not.  Her phone bleeps; she almost looks at it.  She can’t; she hands it to him.  He tells her he is sorry; he says she won’t be spending the night in sweats after all.  She passed.
