Thursday, September 13, 2018 (S56E113): Brother and Sister Meet

Peter tells Lulu he wants her to write the Ryan Chamberlain anniversary story; she is hesitant to take the job.  She says she wants to talk to some people first; she says he should probably find another reporter. He tells her she is the only reporter he wants on this job; he tells her she can write it her way, and says he doesn’t want to exploit anyone’s pain.  Ryan practices his imitation of Kevin, as he sits as Kevin’s desk, staring at a picture of Felicia.  Laura calls; Ryan is thrown off at first, but manages to convince her he is Kevin and is fine, just busy.  He says he’ll be back to his “usual self” by tomorrow.  Lulu comes to visit; she tells him (thinking he is Kevin) about the new edition of the Invader, marking the 25^th anniversary of the Ryan Chamberlain crime spree, calling Ryan a “Port Charles legend.”  She says she knows no one will be happy about them dragging up that time; she says the article is going to run no matter what, and she feels it is better in her hands than a stranger’s.  She is surprised about how okay Kevin is with his brother’s case being re-hashed in the media; he says, “…my brother is a fascinating case study; medical science will never truly understand the inner workings of a mind like Ryan’s until they are no longer afraid to bring him out of the darkness and into the light.

”Maxie and Robyn talk about siblings, as they play with baby James; Maxie asks how she feels about Peter.  She says she wasn’t sure how to feel at first, and felt a mixture of emotions; she is here now to figure out if she wants Peter in her life.  Her mother listens.  When Anna comes out with tea, Robyn says she has to go, and leaves Anna and Maxie to talk; Maxie tells Anna that Peter saved her after Nathan died.  Anna tells Maxie that they are family after all of this; she says, however, that she would understand if Maxie never wanted to see her after it all.  Maxie says she understands everything Anna did and does not feel that she dishonored her grief.  She tells her she could never imagine being separated from her son; Anna says she felt she had to give him up, but later felt it was wrong.  Maxie reminds Anna she is her godmother; she says she will always be part of her life, but she isn’t sure how she feels about Peter.  Robyn comes home and tells her mom she still isn’t sure about Peter either; she says they each have to accept that their relationships with Peter are out of each other’s control.

As Maxie leaves, she grabs food at the Metro Court and quickly jumps in an elevator; she looks up to see that Peter is in there.Margaux says she needs to get to know the original owner, Charlie DeLaney, better.  She starts to study the file.  She gets word that the medical examiner has determined the cause of death; multiple gunshot wounds.  She asks if they found a gun and is told they are “still looking.”  Jason tells Sonny he is worried; he says maybe Sonny should leave.  He tells Jason nothing will make him leave his family; he says he will “stay and face it.”Julian warns Sonny that the police have taken everything they found in his basement into evidence; he says he wasn’t going to stand in the way of justice.  He then tells him he is going forward with his renovations, getting a different coffee distributor, and gloats about having hired Kristina.  Sam asks Kristina why she wants to work for Julian; she swears it was just a job, no ulterior motive.  Sam tells her it’s the best way to start a fight with her parents.  She asks Kristina, again, about her true motives for taking this job.  Julian tests Kristina’s drinks and makes her hiring official; Sam says she supports her sister, but won’t be the one to tell Carly and Sonny it’s a good thing she is working there.  She that is up to Kristina; Kristina smiles.  Sam tells her father she is going to keep an eye on Kristina, and adds that “this better remain a family friendly place.”
