5-25-2017 (Thursday) The End?

Carly doesn’t understand; Sonny explains.  Morgan was taking his medication, or so he thought; he just wasn’t getting any Lithium.  Sonny tells Carly that Lucy was at the Floating Rib, with Ava, the night of the robbery; they corner Lucy.  She nervously tells them that Ava ended up with Morgan’s pills, claiming Ava was sleeping with Morgan again just before he died.  As the Nurses’ Ball continues, Jason talks to Griffin; Griffin tells Jason the necklace belonged to Anna.  Jason wonders what it means.

Kiki texts Dillon; she is working.  She says she wishes she could be there; he says he does too.  Olivia is nervous about performing; Ned tells her she is going to be great.  Curtis tells Jordan he got a room reservation for them toninght; Jordan is pissed off about it.  She thinks he’s moving too fast; he says they’ve been playing this game for a year.  He gives her the key card and tells her, no pressure.  Just as he is about to give up on her, Curtis opens the door and sees Jordan, ready to knock.  Kiki shows up, unexpectedly, for a performance with Dillon, “Get Me to the Church On Time.”  Or maybe it’s called “Modern Love?”  The routine ends with a kiss.  She tells Dillon she got someone to cover for her, for an hour, so they could perform together.  He offers to go back to the hospital with her.

Valentin tells Anna why he sold the Chimera to Helena; he said it gave him some kind of perverse satisfaction to know Helena would be paying for his transformation.  Jason questions Anna about the Chimera necklace he found; she tells him it is hers and explains how she got it.  The girls start to open the Chimera container; Jake runs in yelling, “stop.”  He asks them what they are doing;   As Jake packs up his magic kit, Helena appears; he tells her his mom says he doesn’t have to do his trick.  Helena tells him he does; she says he has to make all of Port Charles “disappear.”Scotty warns Ava that Sonny and Carly know about the pills; he tells her she should get out of town, fast.  Sonny and Carly look for Ava.  Lucy announces her, to present her donation, but Ava doesn’t come out on stage.  Sonny runs backstage and finds Scott; he grabs him and asks where Ava is.  Kiki and Dillon catch Ava leaving and ask where she’s going; she says she has business at the gallery.  Ava tells Kiki she is proud of her and relieved she is happy; Kiki says she is talking like she’s never going to see her again.  They hug; Ava hangs on a while, then goes to pack a bag.  Scott finds Dante and tells him his father attacked him; they go to talk.

Lucy comes out to announce the end of the Nurses’ Ball; she thanks their sponsor, Burt’s Bees.  She welcomes all the nurses back to the stage, with a “special guest.”  Apiphany sings, “Hallelujah” and turns to the screen to see a message from Robyn.  She is talking about being pregnant with her second child, having at one time thought she would not even be alive today.  She says she is living proof HIV/AIDS is a fight that we can win.  The song finishes after Robyn’s message.  As Nancy sings her portion of the song, Ava finishes packing her bag; she turns to leave, as Carly and Sonny enter the room.  Jake comes out into the ballroom and tells his mom he is ready to do his magic trick; he has his case in his hands.  The music ends.

5-24-2017 (Wednsday) Surprise!

Ava tries to leave, but Sonny stops her; he tells her the party hass just begun.  Sam wishes Kristina luck with her performance; Lucy ushers her out.  Charlotte asks about the Chimera container; Jake says it’s powerful magic… it comes at the very end, he says.  Emma does a cute rendition of “I just Want to See You be Brave” with Amy, Kristina and Valerie.Nelle starts to wake up; she calls out for Michael.  Sonny tells Michael that he is pissed Ava is trying to make herself look good, using Morgan’s name.  Jason shows Sam the necklace he found on the floor; they think Jake may have brought it.  

Anna calls Robert and asks what the Chimera actually does; she asks what the hell the Bureau was thinking making it in the first place.  Andre sees Anna and is obviously pissed at her; Anna tries to explain to him that her sister, Alex has been posing as her for the last two months.   Anna apologizes if her sister offended him.  As Lucy changes for another act, Valentin comes in and tells her he wants to “up” his donation to seven figures; Lucy asks, “in exchange for what?”  An announcement comes over the speakers that Leisel Olbrecht can not perform, but someone is taking her place; Valentin steps out on stage and plays the piano, and sings a song to Nina.  Valentin tells Anna that he sold the Chimera to Helena Cassidine.

Andre tells Sonny the crushed material in the bottom of the pill bottle was an “inert substance.”  When Sonny asks what that means, Andre tells him it could have been a placebo.  Sonny knows someone set him up by tampering with his medication; he says he is going to find out who it is.  He walks into the ballroom and stares right at Ava, who is sitting with Scotty.  Scotty tells her there is no way Sonny is ever going to find out.  Joslyn calls Michael and tells him she is nervous about her performance; he tells her to keep her phone on.  Her voice crackles a little bit, but she sings a beautiful son, “It’s Not Over Yet.”  Nelle hears her signing and wakes up to see Michael sitting next to her; he says, “surprise.”  

Sonny tells Carly he finally has answers about Morgan.Jake tells his mom he isn’t feeling good and they decide to cancel his magic show; Jake realizes he left his magic box backstage.  The girls get upset that he isn’t going to do the show and decide to do it themselves; they open the box to practice the tricks.  They pick up the Chimera container; Charlotte finds a button and pushes it… blue lights come on around the bottom of the container.  

05-23-2017 (Tuesday) The Ball Begins!

Carly tells Bobbie that she caught Sonny and her ex-lawyer in bed together; Bobbie is stunned that is the prior association.  Bobbie tells Carly there is still life to be lived and adventures to be had, and people to be loved; they hug.  Joslyn comes in and says she wants in on the hug; they head to the ballroom.  As the Nurses’ Ball begins, Valentin begs Nina for another chance; he asks her what he can do to make it right.  After assuring her that Anna will never come between them again, he turns to see Anna enter the ballroom.  Nina is the spokeswoman for Crimson, doing the red carpet introductions with  Lopez.  Lucy is a mess, as usual, trying to get ready for her presentation at the Ball.  Lulu and Dante come in shortly after Charlotte walks in with her father.  (Lulu is getting huge and is wearing a poof-y gown to try to cover it up.)

Michael talks to his father; he is upset that Sonny has decided not to go to the Ball.  He asks if he and his mother really can’t even be in the same ballroom together; Sonny says it wouldn’t be good for anyone.  Sonny decides to spend his time looking through Morgan’s medical records; he notices something and makes a phone call.  Andre shows up; he tells Michael that the pharmacy swears they dispensed 600 ml pills to Morgan, so they don’t understand where the 300 ml’s came from… but, he says, even that low dose wouldn’t have caused Morgan to spiral out of control like he did.  Andre says he had to have been taking no Lithium at all.  Sonny notices something crushed on the bottom of the bottle; Andre takes the sample and goes to have it tested.  Sonny sits down and turns the Ball on television; he sees Ava enter, bragging about her donation in Morgan’s honor.

Franco and Elizabeth, Jake, Sam and Jason, all show up together; Sam asks Jason what is wrong because she notices he is deep in thought.  He says he just can’t shake the feeling that something is wrong; Jake is prepared for his magic act.  He says he has been dreaming about Helena; he wonders, if everything is okay, why she is there.  Felix shows up with Aphiphany, and right behind them is Nurse Amy.  Mario asks her if she is there alone; Nathan runs up and takes her arm, telling Mario she is there with him.  Mario asks where his beautiful wife is and he says she is working, but there in spirit.Michael greets his mother at the Nurses’ Ball; he asks Bobbie if she saw Nelle today.  She says she did; Joslyn is surprised to hear that Nelle is in the hospital and asks what happened.   Bobbie tells her about the mugging.  They go into the ballroom and are greeted by Mario and Nina; Carly slyly avoids them, giving one short comment.  They get their picture taken.

Curtis and Jordan arrive; he tells the camera that there is going to be a surprise.  “George” asks what kind of surprise; Curtis says they will have to wait and see.  Lucy tells Ava that she hopes Sonny “skewers” her, but she’s happy it won’t be tonight.Lucy announces the start of the Ball; she says it was 24 years ago that they had the first Nurses’ Ball.  The nurses of GH put on a previously recorded song and dance routine, taped in the hospital.  Nurse Amy has a beautiful voice, singing, “You’re Not Alone Anymore.”  All of the sudden, all of the nurses, dressed in their scrubs, burst through the doors of the ballroom and end up dancing on stage.  Nina asks her brother how she can ever forgive Valentin; Valentin turns around to see Nina standing behind them.  Jason goes to the bar to get a drink for he and Sam; Jake shows his magic kit – and the “surprise” to Charlotte and Emma.  Anna catches Valentin and asks him once again to be honest with her about who he sold the Chimera project to; he is angry that her sister had tricked him.  Jason finds Anna’s Chimera necklace on the floor and picks it up.  Carly admits that she misses Sonny; Sonny steps in the door.

Carly says a few words to Sonny and her recently resigned attorney when she finds them in bed together.  Carly tells Sonny if he did this all to piss her off, it worked.  Martina and Carly spend some time yelling at each other; Sonny blames Carly for sleeping with Jax.  She says she only did that because he told her they were over; she reminds him that he hurt Joslyn; she tells her former lawyer that she will be filing a complaint against her and she leaves.  Sonny tells Martina that Carly is just pissed at him and he doesn’t think she’ll file a complaint with the bar; Martina laughs at him and says he doesn’t even see it… Carly is still in love with him, and he is still in love with her, Martina says.  She kisses him on the cheek and she leaves.

Anna talks to her sister, who is now in the interrogation room at the police station; she pleads with her to come forward about what she knows regarding the Chimera.  Alex says she is trying to save the world; Anna says she is only trying to save her own skin.  Alex gives Anna the necklace; she says she has to get rid of it.  Anna isn’t sure of its significance, but tells Nathan she has to finish this.   Nina has to go to the mansion to pick up some paperwork, but she refuses to talk to Valentin while she is there.  He tries to play on her feelings for Charlotte; she stays firm and leaves when Anna shows up unannounced.  Valentin is terribly angry to see Anna; she tries to explain that she isn’t the same person who betrayed him.  She tells him it was Alex Merrick.  She explains; her story sounds pretty far-fetched.  Nina complains to Nathan about Anna showing up at Wyndemere; he tells her there is something she needs to know about Anna.  He fills her in on the existence of Anna’s twin.  Nina isn’t sure how to take this news; Nathan asks her if it changes anything.  She doesn’t answer.

Jason gives Sam a new leather jacket like she used to have; she loves it.  He tells her Jake is going to perform a magic show at the Nurses’ Ball.  She comes out modeling her new jacket, only wearing underwear with it; Jason grabs her, picks her up and carries her to the bedroom.  Jason apparently has a dream… Helena is sitting in his living room; he is looking for Sam.  Helena tells him Sam is gone and asks where his children are.  He demands to know where Sam and the kids are; she laughs and says something inaudible and Jason wakes up with a start.

05-19-2017 (Friday) Well, Hello...

*Apologies for the long break again; back in school, and currently working on a drywall/texture job.  ~Dennel

Carly shows up at the playground and finds Ava with Avery; she asks why she has her.  Ava says it isn’t her business anymore; she’s dealing with Sonny.  Ava tells Carly to take one nice long look at her pretty daughter; she says it’s her last.  She accuses Carly of using Avery to compensate for her own loss; she says Carly is using Avery as a substitute for Morgan.

Brad is surprised to see that the sample bottle is empty and starts getting snotty, saying Finn will be in trouble for not providing the sample he was supposed to provide.  Griffin tells Brad he knows what he was about to do, and what he has been doing to Finn’s test results.  He says they are wrong; he swears he has not been tampering with the tests.  Hayden wonders if something else is going on here, and they are missing it.  Olbrecht sits, with an eye dropper, adding something to Finn’s test results; she says after this failed test, he will be off the staff at General Hospital for good.

Elizabeth comes to help set up for the Nurses’ Ball; she brings Jake with her.  As she talks with Lucy, Jakes goes backstage and opens his case.  He gets ready to perform for Lucy; he messes up but Liz assures Lucy he will be ready in time for the Ball.  Olbrecht shows up; Lucy tells her no, in more than one language, and Olbrecht just smiles.  Anna asks Alex what she thinks she is doing; Alex tells her sister to leave her alone.  They start to wrestle with each other; Nathan breaks it up, and then, looking at the two of them, asks what is going on.  He looks at Anna; she assures him  it is her, but then Alex claims she is Anna.  Emma recognizes her grandmother and tells Nathan which one she is; Alex is put in handcuffs.

Before Martina leaves, Sonny talks to her about Morgan.  He says his heart still breaks for him.  He tells her all about Morgan and how much he still misses him; the pain that never ends.  She tells him “we all hurt.”  She says connecting with someone, even for a short time, can help to take the pain away.  He asks her if she can stay a little longer.  Carly comes to talk to Sonny about Avery being with Ava; she sees two glasses of wine on the coffee table and figures out Sonny is sleeping with Martina.  She walks into the bedroom and finds them in bed together.
