Monday

Carly (Laura Wright) and Sonny (Maurice Benard) were shocked when Lulu (Emme Rylan) told them Dante was gone. She explained how Dante told her something was broken in him after his undercover assignment and he needed to get it fixed. When Rocco appeared and asked his mom about his dad leaving, Sonny took his grandson aside and told Rocco he had to be the man of the house and take care of his mom. Lulu expressed her fear to Carly that Dante wouldn’t be back. Kevin (Jon Lindstrom) was lead into court for his arraignment. When he saw Franco (Roger Howarth) and Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) outside the courtroom, Kevin apologized for what Ryan did to Baldwin. But Franco reminded Kevin he should start by what he (Kevin) did to him. Franco reminded he trusted Dr. Collins but Kevin used him to help his psycho brother. Franco added he was through with him and with therapy. Lucy (Lynn Herring) overheard Franco’s remarks and assured Kevin although his intentions (to help Ryan) were good, his actions weren’t. Kevin told Lucy that he had to hire an attorney from out of town as no one in Port Charles would touch is case. Enter Llanview lawyer Nora Buchanan (Hillary Bailey Smith). Kevin told Nora he wanted to plead guilty. Nora discouraged against it. Heeding his attorney’s advise, Kevin pleaded not guilty. D.A. Margaux Dawson (Elizabeth Hendrickson) wanted bail denied. Lucy spoke as a character witness and Kevin was granted bail in the amount of $100,000 and had to surrender his passport. Maxie (Kristen Storms) told Nina (Michelle Stafford), Sasha (Sofia Mattsson) and Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) she (Maxie) ran a DNA test on Sasha; results proved she was Nina’s daughter. Peter (Wes Ramsey) admitted his suspicions were aroused Liesl (Kathleen Gati) had something on Valentin. Valentin lied to Nina that Liesl knew about Nina stabbing Cassandra Pierce with the syringe. Valentin encouraged Nina not to confront her aunt about the blackmail. When his bail was paid, Kevin thought Lucy posted it but she said she hadn’t. Viewers saw it was Laura who paid Kevin’s bail. Alexis requested Liz and Laura at GH as part of Gail’s final will request.

Tuesday

Residents of Port Charles have gathered at General Hospital at Alexis’ (Nancy Grahan) invite per Gail Baldwin’s (The late Susan Brown) will. Alexis handed each in attendance an envelope containing a piece of the original blueprint of the hospital from fifty-six years. They were to go to the location from the blueprint where they’d find another envelope. Laura (Genie Francis) greeted her mother Dr. Leslie Webber (Denise Alexander), who later traded barbs with Monica (Leslie Charleson) as they looked for their envelopes. Bobbie (Jackie Zeman) and Felicia (Kristina Wagner) ended up at a the photo memorial and found their envelopes by Dr. Tony Jones’ photo. Felicia expressed her gratitude for the gift Tony and Bobbie gave Maxie (Kristen Storms): BJ’s heart. Scott (Kin Shriner) talked with Franco (Roger Howarth) about fathers and sons taking time to spend together. Lucy (Lynn Herring) came across her old wardrobe from The Nurse’s Ball. She decided to donate the items and money raised for the sale to the ball itself. She found an old handkerchief belonging to Alan and remembered the time Alan opened the ball with a song from Cinderella that made all the ladies there feel like princesses. She added that Monica was Alan’s queen and apologized for being young, greedy and stupid by taking Alan from Monica. In the hospital chapel, Laura and Sonny (Maurice Benard) reminiscence about the first time they met “I think you are a good guy in a bad guy’s clothes,” Laura said. Sonny smiled as he walked by the plague for The Stone Cates Memorial Wing. Bobbie helped Elizabeth find her envelope. Nurse Spencer said she was proud of the kind of nurse Elizabeth became as she knew Audrey was. Next, Bobbie ran into Carly, whose envelope was in the pediatric wing where the donation was made on Michael’s (Chad Duell) behalf. Carly told Bobbie she (Carly) was pregnant. Kevin (Jon Lindstrom) told Lucy there wasn’t a chance for them to get back together because he still loved Laura. Elizabeth thanked both Bobbie and Epiphany (Sonya Eddy) for helping to make her a good nurse. Once everyone have found their envelopes, they all gathered at the nurse’s station where Alexis instructed them to open their envelopes. Surprisingly, they contained confetti which Franco tossed in the air. Alexis read a letter from Gail, who apologized for having them participate in a scavenger hunt for confetti. The letter explained how Gail wanted everyone to come together to remember how important General Hospital was to them. Scott walked to Gail’s photo in the portrait gallery and removed the black cover. Then viewers got a retrospective of scenes from General Hospital’s past 56 years featuring some of the characters who appeared on the anniversary episode like Monica, Leslie, Laura, Scott, Mac, Felicia, Lucy, Kevin, Sonny and Carly. Happy Anniversary General Hospital…here’s to the next 56 years!

He told her in order for her soul to be ready for enlightenment in Dawn of Day Kristina would have to pay a ten thousand dollar fee. But as she’d done so well in outreach, she could pay in installments with a twenty-five hundred down payment. Since she couldn’t get her hands on her trust fund money until she turned thirty, Kristina wondered how she’d get the cash she needed. Jason (Steve Burton) and Sam (Kelly Monaco) met in the bridge. Jason told Sam how angry he was she left Danny (T.J. Weaver) with Shiloh at Kelly’s and warned that should never happen again even if it meant blowing her cover to infiltrate Dawn of Day. Jason wanted to pull Kristina out now, but Sam urged to wait. She received a call from Shiloh who asked her to come to the house. Michael (Chad Duell) told Sonny (Maurice Benard) he felt that he could get through Kristina by showing her he wasn’t judging her. Kristina told Julian about needing money to invest in her future.

Oscar and Josslyn came to the bridge and talked about how that he gone to the courthouse to get a marriage license even though they were underage and would have needed parental Oscar gave Josslyn a gift to remember him by: The lock to his locker.

Even though Carly was familiar what she needed to do, Epiphany (Sonya Eddy) reminded its been fifteen years since Mrs. Corinthos was pregnant with Josslyn (Eden McCoy); Nurse Johnson told Carly the baby was important to Epiphany too. Jordan (Briana Henry) told Lulu (Emme Rylan) that Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) was getting treatment at a secure location.

Kevin (Jon Lindstrom) arrived at Laura’s (Genie Francis) and asked her why she paid his bail. Laura explained she felt he wasn’t a danger to society. Plus as he’d been locked at Ferncliff for months she didn’t feel it was fair for him to be in lockup. When Lulu arrived, she immediately though Kevin was Ryan. After Kevin left, Lulu told her mother about Dante going away for treatment because of what he went through in Turkey. Lulu said it was difficult going into the office thinking about Ryan’s attack.

After talking with both Maxie and her son, Anna realized each thought the other wasn’t interested in a relationship. Maxie told Peter that Chad asked her out but she turned him down because she was interested in someone else (Peter).
