Sonny returns home; Carly is grateful to see him… he tells her Carlos got what he deserved – he is alive and well, in police custody. He tells her how he found him.  Lulu greets Dante with a kiss; he’s there for a playdate with Rocco.  Laura tells Nikolas good morning; he says “try again”, as he pours himself a glass of bourbon.  He tells Laura he sold his shares to Jason Morgan.  Lulu questions how Nikolas could justify selling ELQ; it must have something to do with Hayden, no, wait… Rachael.  Nikolas says he doesn’t feel like talking.  

Jason calls the family together, to Tracy’s hospital room; he tells everyone that he is the new owner of ELQ.  Laura is off to meet someone she met online, to decipher the ‘message’ from Helena; Lulu is concerned it sounds sketchy.  Laura assures her it will be fine and leaves.  Monica asks Dr. Finn if he would like to stay on staff permanently, at Tracey’s request. He says “sure.”  Laura’s cryptographer turns out to be Kevin (former psychologist at General Hospital); it’s a side-hobby of his.  Might this be a newly-blooming romance??  Dr. Finn makes it back to his hotel room, grabs his journal and his pouch, writes something down and prepares to inject himself again.  Lulu continues to question Nikolas; she knows Hayden has something on him… she suggests having her arrested.  She demands he tell her the truth; he tells her if he does, people she loves will go to prison.  Dante comes in the room and asks what’s going on.  

Jason tells everyone he wants the shares divided as there, per his grandfather’s wishes – and asks Michael if he wants his old job back.  They are all extremely grateful for bringing the Quartermaine legacy back to them; he makes sure they know he couldn’t have done it without Sam’s help.  Tracy, however, who never had any shares – so still doesn’t – is not necessarily happy; she was hoping to get it back herself.  But she does thank Jason and tells him that she is sure his grandfather is smiling at this very moment.  Kevin agrees to help Laura and asks about the reading of the will; Laura describes some of the twisted details.  Lulu fills Dante in on Hayden’s real identity (Rachael Berlin).  After the injection, Dr. Finn passes out on the couch.  Michael fills Sonny and Carly in on the latest news about ELQ; Sonny tells Michael he did not find Sabrina.  Carly has a hotel issue to take care of; Finn isn’t responding to his wake-up call.  Olbrecht is mad because Finn has missed his scheduled residents lecture.  Carly goes to check of Finn; no response, so she uses her key and sees him passed out, syringes laying on the floor.

Carlos falls to the ground; Sonny stands over Carlos, pointing the gun at him, ready to shoot again.  Anna rushes in the door of the church and screams for him to stop; she begs Sonny not to kill him… bringing him to justice is the last gift she can give to the man she loved.  Morgan talks to Kiki through a video call; she is worried about her scar.  They each get visits from their mothers; Kiki is about to be discharged.  Paul tells Jordan about Anna shooting Carlos, unarmed, four times; Jordan recalls a conversation with Anna.  He tells her he is not planning on pressing charges… just wants to get her back to town safely as soon as possible.  Jordan calls Anna the second Paul leaves.  Andre meets her at Anna’s door, sensing Anna is in trouble.  Carly asks Morgan how he’s feeling, if they’ve figured out the right level for his medication; Morgan says he guesses so (not feeling as stoned).  Carly tells him Sonny went to South America to go after Carlos Rivera.  

Anna insists Sonny let her give this gift to Duke; he steps aside and she puts Carlos in handcuffs.  Andre tells Jordan that Anna was acting strange earlier – she tells him there’s a warrant out for Anna’s arrest.  Paul runs into Dillon at the hospital; there to get his wrist looked at (hurt by the handcuffs, I guess).  Kiki tells Ava that she wants to go home with her, and live with her and Avery… Ava tells her, although she would love that, she can’t.  Kiki’s smile disappears quickly; Ava explains that she wouldn’t be safe if she stayed with her (there are people in the organization that are not happy with her). Alexis meets Julian at the bar.  Hearing him mention trouble on the phone, she asks him what that was about.  He tells her he needs to confess something.  He tells her that he has been actively sabotaging his own magazine and to avoid any legal problems, he turned the whole thing over to Nina.  Alexis is relieved, admitting that she was fearing he was back in the Jerome organization business (which he is)… he smiles, sheepishly.  

Morgan assures Carly that he is not going to get involved in his dad’s business anymore – just wants to get back to his life, and to Kiki.  While Anna bandages Carlos’ wound to keep him from dying before they get back to Port Charles, she tells him he will not get away with what he did.  Andre tells Jordan he cannot tell her anything that he learned from Anna as his patient; she tells him about Anna’s confession and realizes it is not news to him.  Carly insists that Morgan not rush things, and he starts to get a little upset with her.  Kiki asks if Avery is safe; Ava tells her that she is living with Sonny right now, so yes, she is safe.  Ava tells Kiki she has already spoken to Franco and she can go back to her old room where she will be safe.  Back on the plane, Sonny tells Carlos to sit down and shut up – Anna says she has chloroform if he needs it (That’s funny).  The guard enters the plane and tells Anna that they are not going anywhere, except maybe to jail (for knocking him out); Anna apologizes for that.  Sonny throws out the name ‘Don Felipe’ and the guard lets them go.  

Dillon runs into Kiki as she’s being wheeled out of the hospital; they introduce themselves.  As they talk, somebody drops something and Kiki screams and ducks, covering her ears… yep, PTSD.  Jordan leaves in a huff; Andre immediately tries to call Anna.  Paul tells Julian that Carlos has been found and captured; hints to Carlos likely being willing to make a deal and turn on his former boss – Julian plays stupid.  Paul tells him he might want to get all his ducks in a row, in case he wants to ‘take care of anything’… what’s that mean?  Sonny gives Anna his word that Carlos is finally going to pay.

Tuesday 04-12-2016

Carly bumps into Franco at the hospital; they exchange some not-so-friendly words.  She walks away; Franco catches up with her at the elevators.  He thanks Carly for what she did for Kiki after the shooting; then acknowledges Morgan’s responsibility.  She tells him, he of all people should understand; tells him not to talk about her kids anymore.  Anna calls Paul out on his desire to have Carlos killed by Sonny; he denies it of course.  As Paul is leaving Anna’s house, Jordan comes to the door; she asks him what the hell is going on.  He ends up telling her that Anna tried to shoot Carlos before; says he is trying to protect her by issuing the warrant. 

Sonny is shocked to see Carlos dressed as a priest.  Sonny asks if it was a trap, or if he just got lucky – Carlos is pointing a gun at Sonny… he laughs at the situation.  Makes fun of Sonny’s desperation to find him; Sonny is getting pissed off.  Hayden talks to Curtis at the cafĂ©; thinks she has the ELQ shares in hand.  Curtis asks if she any regrets (she says more than she can count).  But, she says, what’s done is done and there is nothing that can be done to change that.  Jason tells Nikolas that he is there to buy ALL 50 of the the shares of ELQ currently being held by Nikolas (the same ones Hayden is demanding be signed over to her).  Lulu and Dante are in the park, getting ready to do some more homework on their marriage counseling; they run into Valerie.  Valerie excuses herself, and Lulu asks her to wait… Lulu proposes that they put things behind them; she congratulates Valerie on her graduation from the academy – she and Dante then get started on the therapy exercises.  Franco continues the conversation, just trying to look out for Kiki; he takes a few jabs at Sonny and their relationship at home perhaps not being so great – she tells him he doesn’t know anything, especially what Sonny is doing right now. 

Hayden tells Curtis she won’t need his protection services anymore.  She tells him she is not spending another night anywhere Nikolas ever again (thinking ‘her’ ELQ shares will enable her to pay for a new life).  Anna gets all dramatic, and tricks the guard, knocking him to the ground, getting off the plane… Sonny asks Carlos if he was the one who shot him and put him in a wheelchair; Carlos laughs.  Of course, it was him – he orders Sonny to kneel down in front of the Virgin Mary and say a prayer (so he can time it to put a bullet in his head just as he says Amen).  Lulu and Dante practice a ‘perception vs. reality’ exercise, saying something to each other and having the other person repeat what they said.  They are realizing that they don’t really listen very well to each other.  Hayden gets up to leave; Curtis asks her if they could be friends, really…just friends.  She appreciates that and hugs him.  Says she could actually use a friend. 

Valerie shows up to see the hug, and questions Curtis what it was about.  Nikols is offended by Jason’s offer, saying it’s pennies on the dollar – Jason tells him either he accepts the deal, or he’s going to the police with the information he has on Nikolas (the same information Hayden/Rachael is blackmailing him with).  Nikolas relents, with a condition.  Nikolas tries to warn Sam that Jason is not good for her; they leave.  Franco tells Carly he knows her well enough to know when she is lying, and angry, and hurt… admits that he doesn’t give a shit about Sonny though.  Sonny begins to pray (hopefully, he will make it a long, drawn-out prayer) – Carlos starts to laugh at him; he makes a comment about Duke that pisses Sonny off.  Sonny hits him and knocks the gun out of his hands; now Sonny is hold the gun on Carlos… and Carlos is begging for his life.  Sonny tells him it wasn’t the plan to shoot him, but sometimes plans change.  When Hayden comes home asking if Nikolas has the papers sign, he tells her no – the stocks are no longer his to give.  Anna arrives at the church just in time to see Carlos lunging to grab the gun from Sonny; the gun goes off.

Monday 04-11-2016

Nathan and Maxie wake up together, Maxie looks slightly concerned when Nathan comments on how perfect their life is; Maxie tells him she feels bad for what he went through with Claudette… says she wants to help him heal (asks him to talk to her about Claudette).  Nathan becomes defensive; Maxie tells him she just wants to fill in the blanks.  They both apologize, and kiss.  They agree that they are in a good place and don’t need to create problems were they don’t exist.  But when Nathan gets up to shower, Maxie grabs the computer and googles Claudette West.  Ned comes to see Tracy; she tells him she is ready to get back to work.  Tracey asks Ned to text Hayden, “R, I am a awake in ICU eagerly awaiting your visit”… Ned is confused, but does as she asks. 

Hayden tells Nikolas she can’t stand the tension anymore – she reminds him she has the proof that he tried to have her killed and demands that he sign the papers turning everything over to her now… or the next time Spencer sees him, it will be behind bars.  When Nikolas asks why she changed her mind, she said that one night in bed, waiting for him to stab her was enough.  Jason and Sam also wake up together; they look so extremely happy… they get up, ready to make this thing with Nikolas go away.  Sonny and Anna discuss their plans while on their way to get Carlos.  There’s Paul – I hadn’t noticed before that he handcuffed to the banister; he wakes up wondering what Anna did.  Anna confesses her attempt at murdering Carlos on the docks to Sonny. 

Laura walks in and interrupts Nikolas and Hayden; Hayden gets the text message from Ned.  She shows up to visit Tracy, and brings her a gift – a symbol of upcoming luck and great fortune.  Laura is worried for Nikolas.  Paul manages to pick the lock on the handcuffs with a paperclip. When they arrive at their destination, Anna is told that she can’t get off the plane (there is a warrant for her arrest).  Sonny goes alone.  Not sure why the gift of fortune, because Hayden tells Tracy that once Nikolas signs the papers, she is keeping ELQ for herself… Tracy says she can still tell the world about who she is – she says it doesn’t matter because her identity is already out.  Tracy tells her she won’t get away with this – she says, she already has. 

Sonny talks to an associate once on the ground, tells him to call if he hears anything about Rivera.  Jason and Sam show up to talk to Nikolas again; Jason is there to make him an offer he can’t refuse.  Anna calls Paul (tells him she obviously didn’t play dirty enough).  She realizes Paul is hoping that Sonny will end up killing Carlos; Sonny finds Carlos, in a church, masquerading as a priest.

Friday 04-08-2016

Music plays as this episode begins, and candles are being lit… Nina sits on the couch in a negligee, waiting for Franco – he walks in; they kiss.  Dillon and Monica wait for Tracy to come out of surgery; Dr. Monroe was able to remove the larval cyst and residual infection.  Tracy is now in a room with Dr. Finn; he is trying to wake her up.  Carly tells Jason Sonny is going after Carlos Rivera; Sonny tells Michael he’s leaving.  Michael knows he’s going after Carlos; he tells Sonny he is going with him.  Anna drags Paul across her floor, telling him he is not going to stop her from finding Carlos; Andre shows up at her door - she steps outside.  Tracy wakes up; utters a sarcastic remark so Dr. Finn knows she’s okay.  He says, "you made it"; she thanks him, touching his cheek.  He tells the family she has a ways to go, but she will make it. 

Carly begs Jason to stop Sonny from going after Carlos… Sam walks in and asks what’s going on.  Franco pops up over the back of the couch, breathing heavily – can't believe what great sex they just had – asks Nina where that fire came from and she tells him she's hopeful; they may have just made themselves a little bundle of joy.  Anna tells Andre she's "in the middle of something"; he wants to talk about Carlos, and how she feels about the investigation, reminding her if he is found, he may accuse her of attempted murder.  He asks to come in; she quickly she says no… Paul is propped against the wall, still passed out, with duct tape over his mouth, just inside the door.  Sonny tells Michael he can't go – he needs to be there to watch over the family; asks him to go visit his brother.  Michael concedes.   He asks Sonny to take care of Sabrina and the baby and to be careful. 

Carly tells Sam she needs Jason to talk Sonny down; Sam tells Carly that Jason almost killed Nikolas last night… and it took everything she had to talk him down.  Franco reiterates once again that he does not want to have children.  The phone rings - it’s Dr. Lee with Nina’s exam test results.  Dillon and Monica visit Tracy… Tracy tells Monica she loves her (which is huge).  Michael shows up to talk to his aunt.  Meanwhile, Dr. Finn is having a sort of breakdown in the locker room; as he reaches in his locker for his ‘pouch’, Griffin walks in.  Finn tells him he needs some time alone.  Jason shows up to talk to Sonny, to no avail, of course.  Paul wakes up and Andre hears him groaning inside.  Anna makes up a dumb excuse – "Emma is sick" – Andre offers to come in and take a look at her.  Anna says no.  Andre wishes her well and lets her know she could trust him; and then he leaves. Anna runs back inside and holds the chloroform over Paul’s mouth again, apologizing to him.

Nina is upset; the results were not good.  Franco tries to console her, but she's certain he is relieved… tells him not to act like he gives a damn... he got what he wanted, "no kids".  She is inconsolable. 

Dr. Finn now sits in the locker room shower, injecting himself with whatever it is he is dependent upon.  (Something tells me it’s more than recreational drug use.)  Tracy has found a new perspective.  Jason gets home and tells Sam about his conversation with Sonny; he has realized maybe he wasn’t ever as bad a person as he thought he was – Sam assures him, he wasn’t.  The world is a scarier place when you have people to love and lose, she tells him (it sure is)… they kiss.  Sonny calls Carly from the plane; he gives her his word that he will come back to her – Anna makes it to the plane.  Griffin shows up to leave a gift for Emma, while Paul is still duct taped and passed out inside.
