Monday

Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) ran into Drew (Cameron Mathison), who was picking up Monica’s (Leslie Charleson) medication, at GH. After he left, Willow told Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) she was there to see Kristina (Kate Mansi). Carly (Laura Wright) had to deal with an obnoxious guest who complained about the wine. Maxie (Kristen Storms) came to visit Nina (Cynthia Watros). She noticed the setup with two wine glasses. Nina told Maxie that Drew was coming over because she was helping him with his campaign. TJ (Taj Bellows) and Jordan (Tanisha Harper) found a cemetery plot for his daughter’s final resting place. Willow woke up a sleeping Kristina, who told her she’d rather be awake because when she slept, she saw her daughter. And when she woke up, she had to face she was gone all over again. Maxie asked Nina what was going on between her and Drew. Willow told Kristina time helped make the memories more bearable. Willow told Kristina how she used to be able to feel the weight of her baby in her arms. She told Kristina the only people who helped her were the ones who could sit with her in sadness. Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) had to go on a tour in Hong Kong as the opening act for Miguel Morez. But Blaze (Jacqueline Grace Lopez) didn’t want to leave because of Kristina. Brook Lynn told Blaze if she turned down this opportunity, it may not come back again. TJ told Jordan he texted Molly (Kristen Vaganos) but he was there picking up a cemetery plot for their daughter alone. Jack (Charles Mesure) opened his room door and suggested Carly share the wine with him. Carly noticed the two dinner plates. Jack invited Carly to join him. “I’m only staying long enough to taste the wine,” Carly said. “Sit down anyway, an experience like this couldn’t be rushed” Jack told Carly. Brook Lynn told Natalia (Eva LaRue) that Blaze asked her to call Miguel Morez’s manager and decline the tour. Since she was a nurse, Willow helped Kristina get comfortable. Molly apologized for being late and thanked Jordan for being there with TJ so he wouldn’t be alone. After Jordan left, TJ told Molly she was the only one who knew how he was feeling and he needed her. Kristina commented about Willow being a nurse. Nina told Maxie about Drew and Willow’s kiss on the Fourth of July. She explained her plan to keep Drew occupied and away from Willow. Maxie said Nina’s solution to keep Drew away from Willow was to draw him to her. Maxie told Nina she didn’t think her plan was the healthiest way to help Willow. “With all the heat going on between the two of you, so why were Drew and Willow making out?” Maxie asked Nina. Blaze told Kristina she was grateful she was okay. Kristina told Blaze she wasn’t okay because she lost her daughter and her world was falling apart. Blaze offered to go back to Kristina’s place and bring back anything she might want. But Kristina said she was sorry because Blaze just got there but she was tired. Felicia (Kristina Wagner) apologized for being late meeting Anna (Finola Hughes). Anna told her she ordered her a glass of wine but there was something she had to take care of but would be back. Jack told Carly the mistakes that put him in Pentonville were rectified. He added he wasn’t staying in Port Charles because of business but was staying. There was a knock on the door. It was Anna who demanded “What the hell is going on Jack?!” Anna questioned him about his request to head WSB operations in Port Charles. Carly decided not to stay and listen. Maxie told Nina her plan to throw herself at Drew to keep her away from Willow may backfire. Natalia came to see Kristina and told her about the tour. Fighting back tears, Natalia pleaded, “Kristina, let my daughter go.” TJ told Molly even though it was tearing them apart, they had to have a burial plot for their daughter, a service and a reception. “And we have to start by giving our daughter a name.” Maxie warned Nina that Drew wouldn’t like it if realized her plan. Maxie left when Drew arrived. Carly found Felicia in the dining room and told her Anna was in an intense meeting with Jack Brennan. Willow told Elizabeth she wanted to return to nursing. Nina complemented the shirt Drew was wearing. “You look very nice too,” Drew told Nina. TJ told Molly his church rituals were important to him for closure. But Molly said she’d never get closure. “I’m going to make sure that Ava Jerome is punished to the fullest extent of the law…that will be my ritual” Molly told TJ. “What is your agenda here?” Anna asked Jack, questioning why he wanted to install himself as the head of the new WSB in Port Charles. She also questioned him about his quick little dinner with Carly. “It was you, wasn’t it? I knew it” Anna said. Blaze returned to Kristina’s room. Kristina told her about her visit from her mom and for once, they were in agreement. Kristina told Blaze she had to go on tour. Willow told Elizabeth she needed to be at GH. Elizabeth welcomed her back. “I’m right here. I think this is a beautiful place for our daughter” Molly told TJ. Drew and Nina kissed again.

Tuesday

Jack (Charles Mesure) told Anna (Finola Hughes) he’d been staying at The Metro Court indefinitely. Anna accused Jack of making the FBI audio file disappear and asked what he wanted from her. When Ava (Maura West), John (Adam Harrington) and Scott (Kin Shriner) entered The Metro Court dining room, Carly demanded to know what Ava (Maura West) was doing there. Ava answered they were celebrating her freedom. Tracy (Jane Eliott) used her mother’s tea set for Violet’s (Jophelle Love) tea party. Kristina (Kate Mansi) urged Blaze (Jacqueline Grace Lopez) to go on the tour, calling it a once in a lifetime opportunity. Jason (Steve Burton) told Sonny if Ava didn’t give him the placebos, he had another enemy out there. Ava told Carly she was granted bail. “Kristina almost died. Her baby did die” Carly said, adding Ava had no remorse or guilt. Ava said it was an accident so she didn’t have anything to be guilty about. Carly told Ava she couldn’t collect her things from her suite because it was a crime scene. So if she wanted them, Ava had to contact the PCPD. Jack assured Anna he wanted nothing from Carly. Kristina told Blaze if she loved her she had to leave. Sonny asked Jason to explore whether the pharmacy could have switched his medication for placebos. He received a call Ava made bail and told Jason her being out of jail made it easier to even the score. Carly told Ava that Agent Cates was using her “Just like he used me and Jason. Because in the end the only thing Agent Cates cares about is sending Sonny to prison.” Anna commented to Jack how the WSB made it possible for Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) to disappear with Charlotte (Scarlett Fernandez). Jack asked Anna whose side she was on as he knew she tipped Valentin off Agent Cates had a warrant for his arrest. Anna had to leave when she received a call. Tracy told Violet how her mother was a proper British lady that loved tea parties. Kristina told Blaze all the hope and love she had died with her daughter. She told Blaze she had to live her best life and that wasn’t with her. Sonny told Jason how Alexis (Nancy Grahan) believed if Ava died Kristina couldn’t live with herself. But he worried what it would do to Kristina to go through a long trial and Ava walked. “Kristina deserves peace,” Sonny said. “What are you going to do?” Jason asked. Carly told John it was only a matter of time before the FBI discovered what he was doing. Scott left because the celebration hit a low point. Once they were alone, Ava told John about Sonny sending Jason to intimidate her when she was in lockup. She was afraid her life was in danger. Sonny told Jason if anything happened to Ava, the police would come down on him so he had to wait. Anna arrived and warned Sonny if Ava got so much as a skinned knee, she’d come down on him. Sonny said he wouldn’t touch a hair on Ava’s head. Tracy told Violet about elegance urging her to always strive for it and avoid animal friends. “But I love animal friends,” Violet said. Kristina told Blaze she couldn’t put a timeline on grief. She agreed they could check in on eachother. Before she left, Kristina told Blaze she was going to be so proud of her watching her do the thing she loved. Anna told Sonny she had a job to do. “To serve and protect…even Ava?” Sonny asked. “Even Ava,” Sonny answered. John was annoyed when Jack walked into The Metro Court dining room. He told Ava he was “Someone who was supposed to be in prison.” Violet wanted a dog obstacle course. Molly came to visit Kristina and told her about going to the cemetery and seeing Ava to warn her she wasn’t going to get away with it “I can promise you that Ava is going to pay for what she did” Kristina assured Molly. Kristina told Molly she had the pictures of when she fell out of Ava’s hotel room window. Jack asked Carly to have a drink with him at the bar. John assured Ava that Sonny wouldn’t get his hands on Clemmens. But when the time was right, he’d lead Sonny right to him. Sonny told Jason he’d get full custody of Avery (Ava and Grace Scarola) and Ava was going to prison, adding “Bad things happen in prison.” Blaze told Natalia as her business manager she worked for her, not the other way around. Before getting out of the car she said she was done. Kristina told Molly about the altercation with Ava that led to the fall. Molly looked at the photos. Jack told Carly he chose Port Charles because she was there. Jack told Ava he’s going to use Sonny’s relentless need for revenge against him. Sonny told Jason the last words Ava will hear will be for Kristina and her baby.

Wednesday

Mac (John J. York) and Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) were tossing a frisbee in the park. James was sad and disinterested. “What did I do?” Mac asked Maxie (Kristen Storms) and Felicia (Kristina Wagner). Tracy (Jane Eliott) came to the Quartermaine stables and told Cody (Josh Kelly) to buckle up because she was taking him on a ride. Sasha (Sofia Mattesson) told Willow (Katelyn MacMuellen) that Drew (Cameron Mathison) was MIA. Drew and Nina (Cynthia Watros) woke up in bed. Gio (Giovanni Mazza) told Lois (Rena Sofer) he probably won’t get much exposure playing at a gallery owned by a murderer. Natalia (Eva LaRus) came to see Sonny (Maurice Benard) to say goodbye telling him she was going back home to Puerto Rico. “Can you play backgammon?” Tracy asked Cody. Gio told Lois that there were only a few people whose opinion matters “Like Sonny.” Natalia told Sonny about Blaze leaving on tour. Willow told Sasha she and Drew would no longer be seeing each other at the institute. “What does that mean?” Michael asked when he entered the room. James told Spinelli he didn’t want to play frisbee. “I want to ride horses with Cody,” James said. Before she walked away, Maxie reminded Mac it wasn’t his call to see James couldn’t take riding lessons with Cody. Felicia told Mac that he messed up and hoped he’d have a way to fix it. Maxie hugged Nina who thanked her for texting her that she was going to be at the park. Maxie commented that Nina was glowing and asked whether she slept with Drew again. Drew entered the kitchen in time for Willow to announce she was returning to nursing and resigning from the institute. After Gio left, Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) asked Lois why she wasn’t being Sonny’s biggest cheerleader. Tracy told Cody how she made a friend playing backgammon after contracting a brain parasite disease. Natalia told Sonny she was returning home because her circumstances had changed. Sonny said she was good with numbers. He called Brook Lynn and asked her to come over, saying he had a proposition for her. Willow explained she missed nursing which fulfilled her. Drew told Willow he wanted her to do what made her happy. Mac called Cody a liar and a snake and didn’t want someone in his life like that. Felicia said that was his choice but she refused to let him drag James into this. Tracy told Cody how she clicked with her doctor (Finn) like she’s never clicked with most people and missed him. James hid among the trees and watched his mom, Nina, Spinelli, Mac and Felicia. Lois came over to Sonny’s with Brook Lynn. Sonny told them he wanted to invest in Deception. Drew told Willow he didn’t want her to make a mistake. Michael told Sasha she could stay safe and be alone or risk getting hurt for another chance at love. Cody won the backgammon game. Tracy was suspicious when he said it was beginner’s luck. Sonny told Brook Lynn his condition for investing in Deception was hiring Natalia. Mac agreed James could take riding lessons with Cody. Maxie called out for her son but James Malcolm West didn’t answer. Sonny explained he wanted Natalia to act in his financial interests. Brook Lynn said she needed to discuss it with her partners, starting with her grandmother. She suggested Natalia come along and be her own advocate. Maxie worried James ran off again. Michael called Nina and said he needed to talk with her about Willow. Drew told Willow he wanted to make sure her resignation had nothing to do with him. Tracy accused Cody of hustling at their backgammon game and said she’d win the next time. Sasha entered the Quartermaine stables. Tracy left when she got a call from Brook Lynn. Sasha told Cody she found his cowboy hat and her senses. “I think we should do this,” Sasha said. “Do what?” Cody asked. Sasha then kissed him. Felicia commented she didn’t want to say I told you so. Maxie came to the Quartermaine stables and asked whether Cody and Sasha had seen James. Michael told Nina that Willow resigned from the institute. Willow told Drew she needed to put as much distance between them because she did something she regretted because she couldn’t stop thinking about him. Sonny tells Lois about the problem with his medication. He also assured her that the money he was using to invest in Deception was legit. Tracy met with Brook Lynn and Natalia at the Deception office. Brook Lynn explained about the investment and Natalia joining the company. Natalia said her title would be CFO. When Tracy questioned the bank that approached them about the investment, Brook Lynn said it was a smaller financial institution before admitting it was “The Bank of Sonny.” “Over my dead body,” Tracy said.

Thursday

James came to the Quartermaine boat house looking for Cody (Josh Kelly). He threw a frisbee in the lake. James hid when he heard Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) on the phone. Mac (John J. York) called the PCPD about James’ disappearance. Maxie called Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) to report Jame wasn’t at the Quartermaine stables. After hanging up, Maxie said the only person in more trouble than James was his grandfather. Tracy (Jane Eliott) told Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Natalia (Eva LaRue) she wouldn’t take money from Sonny (Maurice Benard). But when Lucy (Lynn Herring) entered she was intrigued by the idea. “I love Sonny…tell me more” Lucy said. Jason (SteveBurton) arrived at the penthouse. Sonny (Maurice Benard) asked Lois (Rena Sofer) if she couldn’t trust her oldest friend whether she could trust Jason. John (Adam Harrington) told Ava (Maura West) he had Sonny right where he wanted. When her attorney entered the Jerome Gallery, Ava encouraged John to tell Scott (Kin Shriner) his plan. Mac, Felicia (Kristina Wagner) and Spinelli arrived at the Quartermaine stables. While Maxie and Spinelli went to look for James, Felicia told Mac this nonsense with Cody ends today. James sat in the boathouse and listened as Willow explained to Nina her attraction to Drew (Cameron Mathison). Lucy told Tracy she respected that she didn’t want to work with Sonny. But she needed to find an investor with as deep pockets as Sonny. Jason told Lois money from Corinthos Coffee is legitimate and has passed auditing by the feds. After Lois left, Jason and Sonny talked about the pharmacist. Scott and John agreed Sonny needed to pay to get justice for Karen. After Nina and Willow left, James attempted to reach for the frisbee and fell into the water. Jason received a call from Brick (Stephen A. Smith), who told him GH security footage showed the pharmacist was escorted out of GH by John Cates. Felicia asked Mac why he was willing to give his own son a chance. When he heard him yelling for help, Cody jumped into the water to save James. John suggested hiding the pharmacist at Wyndemere. But Ava was worried it could be traced back to her and reminded he was her only leverage. Mac arrived at the boathouse just in time to hear James thanking Cody for saving him. Tracy said if they weren’t careful and trusted Sonny, it would be the end of Deception and they could all find themself escorted out of the building in handcuffs. Sonny told Jason that John may force him to cross the line.

Friday

“James, are you alright?” Mac (John J. York). “Cody saved me,” James answered. “Yes, I can see that,” Mac said. Anna (Finola Hughes) came to the mayor’s office. Laura (Genie Francis) told her she had a meeting with the new WSB head in Port Charles, Jack Brennan (Charles Mesure). Alexis (Nancy Grahan) helped Kristina (Kate Mansi) get dressed to leave the hospital. Kristina told Alexis she realized once she left the hospital her life began again…but this time without her baby. At GH, Curtis (Donnell Turner) asked Stella (Vernee Watson) about the funeral arrangements for the baby. Stella said all they needed was the birth certificate. TJ (Taj Bellows) entered and said they shouldn’t wait for a late Molly (Kristen Vaganos). Scott (Kin Shriner) told Clemmons that he was there to save his life from Sonny Cornithos (Maurice Benard). Sonny told Jason (Steve Burton) “If Jagger forces my hand, I won’t have a choice.” Maxie (Kristen Storms), Felicia (Kristina Wagner), Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) and Sasha (Sofia Mattsson) arrive. Maxie grounded James and said he couldn’t have ice cream or play video games for two weeks. James said he didn’t care what she took away from him if he couldn’t have riding lessons with Cody. Maxie told James he could have riding lessons with Cody, adding it was a mistake to say he couldn’t. Mac told James the mistake was his. Kristina told Alexis she broke up with Blaze (Jacqueline Grace Lopez) who left on tour. Dr. Navarro entered to discuss Kristina’s post release examination. Stella told TJ they could put Lansing Ashford on the birth certificate and update it once he and Molly decided on a name. TJ was annoyed when Molly entered late because of a meeting with the DA, reminding TJ she couldn’t leave a meeting with her boss. Jack entered Laura’s office for their meeting. Scott told Clemmons he had to see a man about a boat. John spinned a story: Kristina came to her to shut her up because she was a witness in a federal investigation against her father. Sonny and Jason discussed the ramifications of him getting rid of Cates. Dr. Navarro told Kristina she’d be able to conceive and carry a child in the future but her condition would need to be monitored. Jason received a call that Scott Baldwin was seen in a part of time he had no reason to be in. Sonny told Jason to bring Clemmons to him when he found him. Mac told James that Cody was his son. Laura told Jack he wanted him to find Valentin Cassadine. James was excited Cody was his uncle and asked why that made his grandfather mad. Mac was mad with Cody because of all the time they lost. Mac said you always love and forgive family. John left the Jerome Gallery when Scott called to tell him Jason found Clemmons. Molly told TJ she’s been throwing herself into work to get over her pain. As Scott came back with groceries, he hid when he saw Jason knocking on the door of the room Clemmons was being hidden. He left the groceries on the ground. Sonny came to see Kristina and asked how she was feeling. Jason told Clemmons he worked for Sonny Cornithos and wasn’t there to kill him…all he wanted was the truth. Stella commented to Curtis even though TJ and Molly were growing apart, hopefully they’ll remember why they fell in love and stayed together all these years. Sonny told Kristina that Ava was alive and would stay that way. Mac and Cody hugged. TJ came to the Jerome Gallery and told Ava he wanted to hear from her what happened. Molly told Alexis she couldn’t help thinking her baby would be alive if Kristina hadn’t gone over to Ava’s hotel room and engaged her. Cody expressed to Sasha his feelings towards having a father. Clemmons told Jason how Ava found out Sonny was only receiving a quarter of his prescription and then came back and asked him to give Sonny placebos. He told Jason that Valentin Cassadine paid him to reduce Sonny’s prescription. Laura received a call about Lulu. Alexis told Molly she and her sister were going through a loss and needed each other. Sonny wheeled Kristina off the elevator. Just then, John entered with a group of FBI agents and placed Kristina under an arrest.
