09-29-2017 (Friday) Two Jasons?

Alexis comes to pick up Sam for her next “toxo test.”  Jason is just sitting back down from practicing walking; he is frustrated that he could only stay up for 36 seconds.  Monica reminds him he just woke up from a coma.  Sam gets annoyed with Dr. Bensch isn’t there to see her yet; Alexis says they are waiting.  Dr. Bensch is having lunch with Kiki; Dillon gets a little annoyed when he sees them.  Bensch gets up and tells Kiki he has to get going; he invites Dillon to sit down and finish his lunch if he’d like.  Dillon sits down and says he hates tuna; Kiki says that must be why David ordered it.  She asks Dillon if her having lunch with Dr. Bensch makes him jealous.  He jokes, first, saying yes, but then tells her he supports her decision and trusts her completely; he offers to walk her back to GH.  Alexis asks Sam if she is going to tell her dad what’s been going on; she says she thinks someone should.  Sam supposes that she means, she wants to go see Julian; she questions her mom about this.  Alexis insists that she just thinks he has right to know, being her father.  Dr. Bensch shows up for Sam’s appointment; he tells her he has already reviewed her blood work results and she can be on her way home as soon as he examines her.  She thanks him and makes an impromptu-invite to a welcome home party for Jason; she says he can bring his girlfriend, or boyfriend along.  He announces that he is single, and straight.  Sam says, “hmmm, an unattached doctor… how about that.”  She looks at her mother.  Sam goes to the exam room; Alexis apologizes for her daughter trying to set them up.  He says he doesn’t mind at all, and compliments her, calling her a “beautiful, intelligent woman.”  Ava has a dream that Griffin walks into her room and tells her that she is beautiful; he peels a bandage off of her face, to reveal perfectly healed skin.  Holding up a mirror, he goes on to say, “on the outside anyway.”  He tells her, “if only you worked as hard to heal your soul as you have your face.”  She wakes up; the doctor comes in and says he will get her something to help her rest again.  She says she doesn’t need anything; he tells her she needs to be fully rested for the second procedure, adding that the first one went very well.  The doctor makes that phone call to Sonny; what he doesn’t notice is that when he sits his file down on Patient 6’s bed, Patient 6 grabs a paperclip.  With the patient still pretending to be out cold, the doctor is none the wiser; he leaves the room.  Patient 6 begins picking the lock on his handcuffs, but drops the paper clip.  He throws his head back on his pillow in frustration; someone picks up the paper clip… it is Ava.Franco runs into Griffin while he is still at the hospital; Griffin tells him that he is worried about Ava and Franco gives him a hard time about his feelings for her.  After all, however, he encourages Griffin to go after Ava if he really cares about her; Griffin seems surprised at his reaction.  Ava watches in amazement as Patient 6 picks the locks and gets out of his handcuffs; he tells her she needs to go back to her room, but they hear someone coming.  Ava hides; Patient 6 attacks the man when he walks into the room and renders him unconscious.  Ava, in astonishment, asks, “who are you?”  He tells her she needs to go and thanks her for her help; he says, “I owe you.”  She leaves; he takes off his mask.  (As we could all tell, this is the actor who formerly played the part of Jason.)  The doctor comes to the room to find the other man laying in Patient 6’s bed; Patient 6 is running down the hall.  Griffin tells Kiki that he is going to try to find her mom; he confirms a flight reservation.  Kiki asks what she can do to help; he says to “hold down the fort” and adds that prayers can’t hurt either.  She wishes him luck; he tells her he will find Ava.Parker looks pleasantly surprised when Kristina walks into her classroom again; Kristina tells her that her uncle is awake.  Parker says she’s happy for her; she tells her she wanted to go out of her way to let her know, because she cares about her.  She also shows her a record of her transcript; her grades are barely passing.  She tells Parker she has decided that she might just withdraw from classes, and manage Perks for her father; Parker says it sounds like that’s already a done deal.  Kristina admits it is; she tells Parker, this way, they don’t have anything standing in their way, since she is no longer a student there.  Parker tells her she shouldn’t have done that, but Kristina says it’s already done; she asks Parker if she doesn’t want to be with her.  Parker asks if she is free for dinner tonight.
