Friday, January 18, 2019 (S56E197): Lucy’s Book Launch

Valentin continues to pressure Nina to marry him again; Maxie says it’s time to get things started.  Nina and Maxie introduce Lucy and her new book about Port Charles and its residents; Lucy comes out, with security guards standing next to her.  She explains that it is because of the recent murders, which she relates to the Ryan Chamberlain murders of the past and mentions that it is all in her book.  Lulu talks with her mother; she says she is finishing up her story.  They talk about the list Ryan Chamberlain made of all his victims; Laura mentions seeing a similar list on Kevin’s desk… she says he told her he made it to remember the victims, but Felicia was listed as number 10.  “Kevin” told her he saw her as a victim of Ryan’s, even though she wasn’t killed; Laura leaves to go to the book launch.

Peter tells Mac he realizes why Maxie is so important to them, after hearing Lucy read a passage from her book about Maxie’s heart transplant.  Laura is surprised to learn that the book is not only about Port Charles, but also the people that inhabit it.  Lulu talks to Dante and finds out he is going to be gone even longer, and, in addition, will be out of touch for a while.  She recalls her mother’s words about the list on Kevin’s desk.  Lucy asks Felicia if she is mad at her; Felicia can’t believe she doesn’t understand why.  She says she didn’t really want to relive all of these memories tonight, but they make up; Lucy asks Felicia who Kevin is seeing now.  She shouts, “no way” as Ava walks in; she tells Ava there is something she needs to know about “Doc.”

Carly tells Sonny that they need to really face what is happening with his dad; she says this wasn’t just a bad day.  She suggests that they seek professional help.  “Kevin” waits for Sonny and Carly to come meet with him; Ava comes in and says she wants to stay, but he insists she leave.  He tells her he can, and will, do anything for her; she leaves.  Sonny isn’t happy about going to see Kevin, but Carly says they need to deal with this.  When they get there, “Kevin” locks the door behind them; he tells them it’s just habit.  They sit down and Carly starts talking about Sonny’s feeling of obligation to his dad; Sonny defends it.  “Kevin” says he thinks this is about Morgan, the son he couldn’t save; he says Sonny wants to keep his father close in a way he couldn’t with Morgan.  Sonny and Carly think that seems to make sense; he suggests they talk to Morgan more… saying, it will give them a better sense of how to talk to Mike, who isn’t really here anymore either.  They thank him for the talk and leave; he picks up a switchblade from his desk and says (to himself) they shouldn’t need his advice in the future.

Maxie apologizes to Peter, saying she didn’t know Lucy would be dredging up all that stuff about his father.  He gets a call from Lulu; she says she has new information about the connection between Ryan Chamberlain and the recent murders.  He tells her to drop that and just get to the signing; she says okay.  Lulu calls “Kevin” and leaves a message; she says she wants to talk to him about the list on his desk, naming nine victims instead of seven.  “Kevin” goes to see Lulu at the office; he says he was going to the party, but his plans changed.  Maxie apologizes to her mom for not paying more attention to the contents of the book before arranging the party; Felicia says its okay.  She tells Maxie to focus on what she wants; Maxie says she needs to leave.
