Friday, September 14, 2018 (S56E114): Happy Birthday

It’s Drew and Jason’s birthday; Drew tells Curtis that he went downstairs for a midnight snack and saw a three-layer cake.  He says he just isn’t really in the mood to celebrate; Curtis pays for the drinks and leaves him.  Curtis goes to meet with Valentin; he questions his motives for finding Nina’s daughter.  Nina meets with a jeweler to try to find out more about her half-heart necklace; he tells her it appears to have been one solid piece, which was divided for whatever reason.  As Curtis and Valentin talk, Nina walks in; she asks what she should be told.  They fumble for words, and she says, “never mind, it doesn’t matter.”  She tells Curtis that she thinks she is being followed; she shows him a man sitting at a table.  Curtis decides to talk to the man; he grabs him and slams him up against the bar.  He pulls out his wallet and tells Nina the guy is a bodyguard; Valentin steps up and tells her that he hired him.  Nina gets pissed and tells him, if she wants a guard she will hire one; Curtis comes back in and Nina says, “here he is.”Carly tells Sonny that they have to seriously consider how things are adding up; even though Mike is ready to move, Sonny isn’t really ready to let him go.  She tells him he needs to honor his dad’s wishes; Mike, listening at the doorway, steps in and tells Sonny, “it’s time.”  He tells Sonny he needs his support; he says, “it’s gonna happen one way or another.”  Sonny cries; he tells his dad he doesn’t want him to go.

Margaux discusses the case with Jordan (now played by a different actress); they have discovered how old the skeleton is, and they realize the body pre-dates Sonny’s arrival in Port Charles by at least a decade.  Margaux says she may know who they need to talk to.  They go to talk to Sonny’s father; Mike looks worried.Sam shows up for Drew’s party; she tells Kim that Drew told her about Oscar’s prognosis.  She says she is so sorry; Kim seems upset that Drew told her… she says, “this isn’t any of your business.”  Drew shows up; Kim tells Drew she is upset.  She says, “the more people that know, the greater the chance that Oscar will find out from someone else.”  Drew says they can solve that, by telling him.  Sam comes in and tells Kim that it looks like Oscar got into a fight.  Drew tells Oscar he taught him to defend himself, not to throw a punch when someone pisses him off.  Kim chews him out, reminding him that he just got out of the hospital.  Monica is shocked to hear that he was in the hospital; they say it was just because he forgot to eat and fainted.Maxie and Peter get stuck on an elevator together; Peter starts to freak out.  Maxie asks if his being tied to a bed and held captive might have anything to do with it.  She tells him they are working on it; it should be less than an hour.  He gets hot and pulls his shirt off; Peter is thankful when the doors open.  Nina gets the wrong idea, since Maxie is laughing when they step out; she excuses herself, and Maxie runs after her.
