Wednesday, January 9, 2019 (S56E190): The Signature of a Killer

Sonny asks Lulu if she knows when Dante is coming home.  Lulu says she spoke with him on New Year’s Eve, but knows nothing.  She admits that she avoided even telling him about “the whole serial killer thing.”  Sonny offers protection, but she says she doesn’t want to be tripping over security guards.  She admits that she hasn’t told him about the killer; she doesn’t want to worry him for no reason.  He tells her next time she talks to him, she needs to tell him it’s time to come home.  He hugs her and leaves.

Carly tells Sam she can’t stop thinking about Oscar; Sam says she can’t stop thinking about Drew…and how Scout is not going to get to know her other brother.  They talk for some time; Carly suggests they have another drink.  She tells Laura that she is excited for her to take over as Mayor; when Laura tells her that “Kevin” promised to look after Ferncliff.  Carly tells Laura she doesn’t trust him; she tells him she believes he is lying about her old neighbor there, as his name may or may not be Wilson Britter.  Carly tells Laura, when she wins, she should fire the current D.A.  Margaux goes to visit Lulu; she asks about her access to police records and what information she shared.  She says this killer may have been acting on information from those police files.  She asks if she knows of a signature this killer had; she says no, but asks what it is.  Margaux tells her to forget they ever had this conversation.  Lulu goes straight to her computer.

Jordan fills Margaux in on the connection they have made; Jordan calls the former commissioner, John Donnelly.  They find out that John doesn’t remember what happened yesterday, let alone twenty-five years ago.  They talk to Mac; he is concerned for Felicia’s safety.  He says he may be able to help them, but he needs to make a phone call.  He says his contact didn’t have the information he had hoped; he says Ryan didn’t talk to any of the other inmates at Ferncliff.  Ned and Olivia watch their interview with Lulu on television; Olivia thanks both Ned and Laura for restoring integrity and civil discourse to politics in Port Charles.  Ned suggests they binge watch a show instead of watching the election results; she confesses that she isn’t really sure she wants him to win.  She is concerned for his safety she says; then admits may she just wants to quit while they are ahead.

At Cameron’s court hearing, Alexis opens by saying that his decision to buy the marijuana was an error in judgment; Cameron reads a letter of apology he wrote to the court and the community, without mentioning why he did what he did.  Elizabeth stands up and asks the judge if she can speak; she says the judge needs to know Cameron’s reason for making the decision he made.  The judge has agreed to the adjournment in contemplation of dismissal, for a period of twelve months.  Liz says he will need to get a job to help pay Alexis’ legal fees; Drew offers to help with that.
