Monday

“Would you like to go to dinner with me tonight?” Finn (Michael Easton) asked Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst). Ava (Maura West) spoke with Austin (Roger Howarth) on the phone and told him she was about to meet the nanny Mason was forcing her to hire to spy on Sonny (Maurice Benard). Dex (Evan Hofer) watched from the sidelines as Austin left for his office to meet with Mason. Michael (Chad Duell) was annoyed Nina (Cynthia Watros) hadn’t shown up for her visit with Willow (Katelyn MacMuellen) and Wiley At GH, Nina told Sonny she hoped Willow wouldn’t hold it against her that she was later for her visit Carly (Laura Wright) arrived at Kelly’s and turned around the Closed sign. At the Pentonville library, Drew (Cameron Mathison) confronted Cyrus (Jeff Kober) and demanded to know “Are you responsible for Curtis getting shot?” Elizabeth told Finn her asking him out on a date was awkward because she’d planned on asking him out tonight too and already made reservations at The Port Charles Grill. Since Finn made reservations there too, Elizabeth agreed to cancel hers since she didn’t think Finn’s reputation could take the hit. Uri came to see Terry (CassandraJames) at GH and said there was something important he needed to talk with her about . Cyrus assured he had nothing to do with Curtis getting shot. Drew told him Sonny was also there too. “And we both know you’d like nothing more than taking him out.” Josslyn (Eden McCoy) arrived at Kelly’s and questioned her mother about Carly selling the house. Sonny told Nina she needed to go to Willow and tell her about Sasha (Sofia Mattsson). Austin was surprised to see Gordon with Mason in his office. The butler showed Ms. Betty Rutherford into the room for her interview with Ava. After he left, Betty told Ava to cut the interview act. “We both know that this job is mine.” Since it was their one year anniversary, Uri gave Terry a key to his apartment. Terry told Uri there was something she needed to take care of and asked Finn for his answer to his offer in becoming her co-chief. Cyrus told Drew he was indebted to Curtis for risking his life to bring his nephew home after he fell into Victor’s (Charles Shaughnessy) clutches. Cyrus looked scared when the prisoner Book and his associate entered. Carly told Josslyn she decided to have an open house to see what kind of offers she gets, adding she had a back up plan. “And what would that be?” Josslyn asked. “You’re looking at it,” Carly answered. Nina arrived at the Quartermaine gateway and told Willow and Michael she was late because of Sasha. Dex updated Sonny on his surveillance assignment of Dr Gatlin-Holt. The nanny warned Ava there’d be consequences if she didn’t sell her for the job to her daughter’s father. “How long has it been since you called your mother?” she asked. Betty suggested Ava call her mother Delia. Elizabeth caught Dex outside Austin’s office Gordon demanded a hundred grand hush or he’d tell Cornithos what they’ve been doing behind his back. AFter Michael left them alone, Nina and Willow had a civil conversation. Willow told Nina she appreciated that she’d been trying harder especially when it came to Carly. Carly told Josslyn that while Bobbie (Jackie Zeman) was in Amsterdam, she left her Kelly’s. “I’ve been entrusted with our family institution. Book knocked the books off the shelf. As Cyrus looked on, Drew grabbed him and told him they had a problem. Drew warned the prisoner he was an ex-Navy Seal so he wouldn’t want to push him. Finn told Terry he wasn’t sure if he wanted a position with all that administrative stuff. Terry assured Finn he could do more good as her co-chief. “You’d play a role in every single life saved under this roof. Finn promised to think about it. Michael called Sonny and learned Sasha was taken to Ferncliff. Mason told Gordon his associate would meet him at the front entrance and he’d get everything he was owed. Elizabeth told Dex she was Cameron Webber’s (William Lipton) mother and knew what went on between him, her son and Josslyn, adding she also knew he worked for Sonny. “So whatever you’re up to, there’s no place for it on my watch” Elizabeth warned. Betty warned Ava her mother would pay for her hot temper when it looked like Ava was planning to push her off the parapet Dew called Sonny and told him although he couldn’t get into the doctor’s office, there was another player in the mix and he was following him now. Willow told Nina there could be a chance for them. Carly explained how Bobbie sold her Kelly’s for a dollar. Carly planned to pay Bobbie the full price She also planned to renovate the rooms upstairs and make Kelly’s the happening place it was before. Carly told Josslyn having raised her she knew small things had a way of turning into something big. Drew told Cyrus he stepped in because he didn’t like bullies. He urged Renault to go to the warden. But Cyrus said the warden would be the last person who would help him. Finn and Elizabeth arrived at The Port Charle Grill for their dinner date. Terry gave Uri the spare key to her place she kept in her desk. Uri told Terry he got a bad feeling after receiving a call from Valentin (James Patrick Stuart). Cyrus warned Drew to keep his head down and not ask questions about Book and his associates. Cyrus told Drew if he didn’t join his flock he suggested he join another. Carly assured Josslyn that “This was just the first step of an amazing journey.” Nina smiled when she left the gatehouse. Betty slapped Ava as Sonny walked in. Austin hoped they’d be lucky if Gordon just took the money and ran. Mason told Austin he made his own luck. Dex found Gordon in the alley.

Tuesday

“Nikolas is dead, you killed him?” Sonny (Maurice Benard) asked. “Yeah I killed him” Ava (Maura West) answered. Sam (Kelly Monaco) told Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) she’s glad Kristina (Kate Mansi) and Molly (Brooke Anne Smith) made up. Josslyn (Eden McCoy) came to Dex’s (Evan Hofer) apartment and found it set up for a romantic evening. Willow (Katelyn MacMuellen) told Michael (Chad Duell) how happy she was. Curtis (Donnell Turner) told Portia (Brooke Kerr) he didn’t want to see her again. Ava told Sonny that Mason had Nikolas’ (Adam Huss) body and threatened to expose her if she didn’t do what he wanted. “That’s not going to happen,” Sonny promised. Ava told Sonny the whole story of what led to Nikolas’ death. She said she’d do anything to protect Avery (Ava and Grace Scarola) because she’s her life. Sam and Dante talked about Cody (Josh Kelly) and Gladys (Bonnie Burroughs). Dex told Josslyn he had the candles lit because the super was coming to fix his AC. Josslyn asked Dex what happened when Sonny called him. “I found a dead body tonight.” Willow and Michael thought folding their kids’ laundry was perfect especially after worrying for so long before the transplant. Curtis wanted an annulment because they never consummated their marriage. He said he didn’t need her pity. Sam told Dante she didn’t like Gladys and thinks Sonny doesn’t even and only tolerates her because of Mike (Max Gail) and Brando (Johnny Wactor). Curtis told Portia to stop telling him how he’s supposed to feel. Dex told Josslyn about his surveillance of Austin (RogerHowarth) and how he found the man Austin was meeting with dead. “Joss, aren’t you going to ask me if I killed him?” Dex asked. Ava told Sonny about hitting Nikolas with the statute. “You gotta tell me how this Mason guy fits in,” Sonny said. Curtis told Portia he wouldn’t be a burden to Trina (Tabyana Ali). “I think it’s best if I don’t see her again.” “If you can’t be the father that you want to be then you’re not going to be a father at all?” Portia asked Curtis. Ava told Sonny how Austin found her trying to hide Nikolas’ body. But instead of blackmailing her, he helped her. Josslyn assured she knew Dex didn’t kill the guy and knew he’d do anything to protect her. “Nothing and nobody is ever going to come between us,” Josslyn told Dex. Willow told Michael she knew if she didn’t make it, Wiley and Amelia would be fine because they had him. Dante told Sam about Dex finding a dead body behind the alley at GH. They were ready for a distraction when there was a knock at the door. It was Cody, who was still in a weakened state from being stabbed by Sasha (Sofia Mattsson). Willow assured Wiley her immune system is getting stronger and promised to come to his game before the end of the season. Curtis told Portia he wasn’t the man she fell in love with. “If you really want to help you’d walk out that door and won’t look back.” Ava continued the story by telling Sonny about she and Austin planning to bury Nikolas’ in the Pine Barrens until all hell broke loose when Ryan (Jon Lindstrom) and Heather (Alley Mills) showed up. And Mason has been blackmailing her ever since he discovered what she’d done. Sam wanted to call GH when Cody said he’d check himself out of the hospital. Portia told Curtis he had a family and they loved him because of the man he is. Curtis told Portia her lies cost him time with his daughter. Michael brought Amelia downstairs when she woke up. Wiley told Willow he was scared when she went to the hospital. She assured she’d never leave him. Dante told Cody if he died that would make things worse for Sasha. Codu was certain Gladys had something to do with everything that’s happening to Sasha. Dex and Josslyn fed each other cool fruit and kissed. Sonny promised Ava he would take care of everything. Curtis told Portia she took twenty years of spending time with his daughter because of her lies. “I don’t know you, I don’t want you and I don’t trust you” Curtis said then shouted for Portia to get out. Michael watched Wiley and Willow sleeping and told Amelia he was the luckiest guy in the world. While Cody slept on the couch downstairs, Dante took Sam upstairs to pick up where they started. When she was alone, Ava thought about Sonny saying he’d take care of everything. “Hope you mean that Sonny,” she said. “I need you to find somebody for me. Dead…sure. Alive would be better” Sonny told someone on the phone.

Wednesday

Thursday

Carly (Laura Wright) spoke with Bobbie (Jackie Zeman) on the phone and assured everything was okay. Nina (Cynthia Watros) entered Kelly’s and was surprised to see Carly behind the counter. Finn (Michael Easton) found Portia (Brooke Kerr) crying in the doctor’s break room. He offered what comfort he could before sending a text. Curtis (Donnell Turner) told Elizabeth he didn’t want any visitors in his room. “Especially Trina and Portia.” Elizabeth received Finn’s text reading SOS DOCTOR’s BREAK ROOM STAT. Maxie (Kristen Storms) was on the phone trying to get visiting hours at Ferncliff when Georgie and James ran out of their bedroom arguing over a computer tablet. She ordered her kids to sit on opposite ends of the couch. “And don’t even think of looking at each other.” Sam (Kelly Monaco), Cody (Josh Kelly) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) had breakfast. Cody was worried about Sasha (Sofia Mattsson). “She doesn’t realize how much danger she’s in.” Sasha found herself in restraints and shouted for help. Cody insisted Sasha didn’t mean to stab him and didn’t belong in Ferncliff. A nurse practitioner named Mandy entered Sasha’s room and explained where she was. Sasha asked Mandy to call her mother-in-law Gladys (Bonnie Burroughs). Maxie told James and Georgie that grandpa Mac (John J. York) was on his way to take them to the pool but they couldn’t go unless they cleaned their room. Mac arrived and Maxie left. Carly told Nina she owned Kelly’s. Nina told Carly she visited Willow (Katelyn MacMuellen) yesterday. Elizabeth entered the doctor’s break room. Portia cried that she wasn’t allowed to be in her husband’s room. Finn left. “You heard what Curtis said…he doesn’t want to have anything to do with me” Portia told Elizabeth. Sam came to take care of Molly (Brooke Anne Smith) after her accident. Cody told Dante that Sasha’s downslide seems suspicious. Portia told Elizabeth how Curtis seemed so determined to push him away. Finn came to see him and told Curtis he was there as his friend. Finn said as a fellow addict in recovery he knew what he was going through. Nina told Carly how Willow was including her in her bubble of friends and family and she had Carly to thank. James threatened to delete all Georgie’s Harry Stiles songs off the tablet. Molly told Sam how she fell down the courthouse stairs because she was distracted about how she and TJ (Taj Bellows) can’t have a baby. Cody told Dante how he got to know Sasha. “Whatever the problem is here it’s not Sasha, it’s the people around her” Cody told Dante. Gladys and Dr. Montague arrived at Sasha’s room at Ferncliff. Gladys told her how she tried to kill Cody Bell. Nina told Carly she assumed she dropped her vendetta against her. “Who said I did that?” Carly asked. Portia told Elizabeth about Curtis kissing Jordan (Tanisha Harper). She told Elizabeth she wanted to have a life with Curtis whether he was in or out of a wheelchair. Curtis assured Finn the doctors knew his history of drug abuse and were monitoring his dosage. Curtis told Finn this wasn’t about addiction but his pride as a man. He refused to be a helpless man that had to be taken care of. Finn urged Curtis that he needed to let the people who care about in and he shouldn’t push them away not when he needed them the most. Carly assured Nina she’d get back everything she lost. Cody told Dante how Gladys wanted him out of Sasha’s life so he couldn’t tell Sasha she couldn’t be trusted. Dr. Montague asked Gladys to wait outside. Maxie arrived and found Gladys outside a room and asked whether it was Sasha’s room saying she needed to see her. Portia told Elizabeth she loved Curtis most of her life and wanted their relationship back. “Now that you’ve made that revelation, what are you going to do about it?” Elizabeth asked. Felicia (Kristina Wagner) entered to find James and Georgie fighting over the tablet. Sam asked Molly how she’d feel if she never had a child. Dante questioned Cody about why he, Gladys and Selina Wu (Lydia Look) were all at The Savoy together. Gladys convinced Maxie it was better if she didn’t see Sasha. Dr. Montague tried to convince Sasha many of the things she thinks she remembers are figments of her imagination. Sasha realized everything was going great until she started seeing Dr. Montague and began taking the prescription he gave her. Portia brought Curtis some literature to read and told him they were in this together and he wasn’t going to push her away. Elizabeth told Finn she hoped Portia and Curtis could work things out. Maxie got James and Georgie to clean up and told Mac she was able to do it because she’s magic. Sam told Molly she and TJ needed to go through all their options together. Cody told Dante about Selina Wu’s high stakes poker game and how he plays for Selina. “Selina has threatened to kill me if I tell anyone so now my life is in our hands” Cody told Dante. Gladys urged Maxie to let the professionals help Sasha, assuring she was in good hands. Gladys suggested they go get a cup of coffee. Dr. Montague shot something into Sasha’s IV to calm her down. Carly demanded Nina leave her kitchen and take a seat and the waitress would be right with her. “I lost my appetite” Nina said and left Kelly’s.

Friday

CHECHNYA, RUSSIA. Laura (Genie Francis) and Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) arrived at a Cassadine property and were greeted by a man pointing a gun at them. Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) took Charlotte to visit LuLu (Emme Rylan). Charlotte was worried about Laura’s safety being in Russia. Dante assured Laura would be okay because Charlotte’s dad and Kevin (Jon Lindstrom) were with her. Esme (Avery Kristen Pohl) was worried about Laura. Spencer (Nicholas Chavez) told Esme to leave it alone because there was nothing he could do about it. Kristina (Kate Mansi) came to visit Molly (Brooke Anne Smith). Carly (Laura Wright) came to see Michael (Chad Duell) at his office at Aurora Media and said she needed to talk with him about his father. Nina (Cynthia Watros) called Sonny (Maurice Benard) and said Michael was a problem. Ava (Maura West) barged into Sonny’s office, upset he allowed Avery (Ava and Grace Scarola) to go with Betty. At The Metro Court Pool, Dex (Evan Hofer) was on assignment watching Betty and Avery. Trina (Tabyana Ali) thought he was looking for Josslyn. “I’m not here for Joss. I’m working” Dex told Trina. Avery wanted Josslyn to meet her new nanny Betty. Ava was worried Betty was violent and could hurt Avery. Sonny told Ava by hiring Betty she could lead them to who she was working for. Josslyn was surprised Avery had a new nanny. Betty explained she interviewed with Avery’s mother Ava Jerome and Mr. Cornithos told her to start again. “And who are you again?” Betty asked Josslyn, who explained she was Avery’s sister. Betty said she was confused because Ms. Jerome told her Avery had a younger half sister. “Either you’re big for your age or you’re not really her sister.” Michael told his mother how Dex found a dead body and Sonny told him to call the police. Molly was happy when Kristina gave her Valiant, her old stuffed horse. “This is exactly what I needed,” Molly said. Spencer apologized for snapping at Esme, saying he was worried about Trina since her father was shot. Esme suggested her call Trina. Laura told the gun wielding man she was looking for Nikolas Cassadine. He warned her to stay away from the Cassadines because they were dangerous. Laura explained Nikolas Cassadine was her son who disappeared from his home in the United States five months ago. Charlotte told Lulu how she won a medal in dressage and urged her to wake soon because she was missing so much. Dante left the room to give Charlotte some alone time with her mother. Charlotte told Lulu even though Dante missed her, she missed her more. Sonny assured Ava their daughter wasn’t in any danger. Josslyn told Avery to tell Betty who she was. Avery told Betty that Josslyn was her big sister. Josslyn said the branches of their family tree were very complicated and offered to draw Betty a diagram, adding she’d probably be gone before she had to memorize it. Betty left with Avery and Dex followed. Trina told Josslyn how Dex was watching Avery and her new nanny. “That’s gotta mean something.” Carly commented how she thinks a part of Michael wanted Dex to protect his father. Michael admitted a part of him still cared about Sonny. Molly remembered how special Valiant was to her and how Kristina defended her when kids came over and made fun of the name. “I think I made things harder for you,” Kristina said. But Molly said she was proud of her big sister. The man said he’d help Laura if he could but he had no idea where this Nikolas Cassadine was. Spencer told Esme how Dr. Robinson (Brooke Kerr) hated both sides of his family as she blamed Cassadines for hurting Trina and his Uncle Sonny was her husband being shot. Trina told Josslyn how she’s been trying to keep her distance from Spencer because she didn’t want to upset her mom. “If you need Spencer you should let him know, you won’t regret it” Josslyn urged. Kristina commented how Molly always took care of her. Molly remembered how she couldn’t take care of Kristina when her abusive boyfriend was beating her up. Sonny paid Betty and told her they didn’t need her for the rest of the day but she could pick her up at his home tomorrow. “Are you going to fill me in on the rest of the plan?” Ava asked Sonny after Betty left. Sonny said he had a call to make. The man told Laura he couldn’t help her and asked her and Valentin to show themselves out. “You have to wake up,” Charlotte cried. Right after Esme and Spencer decided to take Ace to The Metro Court Pool. But Trina’s arrival changed their plans. Trina told Spencer she missed him. Carly arrived to pick Avery up for a sleepover with Donna. She told Ava how Sonny just called her a few minutes ago to arrange it. Molly and Kristina talked about Krissy’s former abusive boyfriend Kiefer. Kristina commented how her life derailed when she was with Kiefer and she’s never been able to get back on track. Nina came to see Michael at his office and asked “Can we make peace for Willow’s sake?” Carly knew something was up with Ava and Sonny but couldn’t figure out what it was. Nina told Michael how Willow was up to a relationship and asked whether he was too. Kristina wasn’t certain whether she could help the kids at the youth center she was starting. Molly urged Kristina to take the time to educate herself. She assured Kristina could do this. “I believe in you. You just have to believe in yourself.” Trina told Spencer she didn’t know what she could do to make her mother feel better. “I do. Stay away from me” Spencer said. Laura worried Nikolas could be held against his will. Charlotte told Dante she didn’t like seeing their house empty. Trina told Spence he was giving her strength right now and she needed him. She suggested they keep their relationship low key for now. Spencer told Trina he’d stay away from her mom but would be there if Trina needed him. “We only got each other unless we take drastic steps to change that situation” Esme told Ace. Michael told Nina he’d support whatever decision his wife made. Nina told Michael that it was just a matter of time before Wiley and soon Amelia would see his attitude towards her. Kristina’s arrival causes Nina to leave. “Whether you like it or not, we’re family and I’m not giving up.” Nina told Michael before she left his office. “Bro…why you gotta be such a bastard to Nina?” Kristina asked Michael. Dex came up to Josslyn as she relaxed on a lounge chair. Josslyn asked about the surveillance Dex was doing on Avery and her nanny. Dex told Josslyn he’d tell her if he could. But Sonny hadn’t shared the details with him. Ava asked Sonny to promise he wouldn’t bring Carly into this or tell her what she did to Nikolas. Sonny assured Ava he’s not going to tell Carly unless he had to. “The good thing is Betty bought my act. She thinks she’s spying on me but it’s the other way around. She’s going to lead us right to whoever is behind this. And when I find them, they’re not gonna know what hit them” Sonny told Ava.
