Monday

“You need to hear this,” Jason said to Drew. “You proud of yourself?” Alexis (Nancy Grahan) asked Rick (Rick Hearst). “Just be honest with me and tell me how I did” Kristina (Kate Mansi) asked Sonny (Maurice Benard). TJ (Taj Bellows) was angry when Molly (Kristen Vaganos) called what happened an accident. Lulu (Alexa Havins) hugged Rocco. Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) told Laura (Genie Francis) that Lulu was out of her coma. TJ couldn’t understand how Molly now believed it was an accident.Rick said it was pathetic Alexis couldn’t see what was right in front of her face. Sonny assured Kristina she did great. Carly (Laura Wright) found Drew and Jason in an argument after Jason told him he was moving into the Quartermaine mansion. Lucky told Laura that Lulu was no longer at Turning Woods. Rocco told Lulu she’s been in a coma for four years. Lulu commented about her son being fifteen…he’s a teenager. She promised they’d never be separated again. Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) and was shocked to see Lulu. TJ cried and told Molly he needed to share his feelings about their daughter’s loss with her. But Molly said she couldn’t, adding their grief took them down two different paths. Lucky showed Laura the video. Laura said Lulu looked determined and was probably on her way home. Dante and Rocco helped Lulu to sit down on the couch. Dante asked Rocco to get his mother something to eat. “I can’t believe I’m sitting here talking with you,” Dante said. Drew warned Jason the minute he moved in, he and Scout were gone. Kristina told Sonny how revenge is sometimes justice. Molly told TJ she didn’t want to have another baby. Carly told Drew and Jason to put aside their differences to honor Sam’s (Kelly Monaco) wishes and for their children’s sake. Laura realized if Lulu left Turning Woods the way she did, she must have believed she was in danger. Lulu told Dante how she woke up a few days ago and heard Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) say he was her uncle and was planning to have her transferred to a facility in South Carolina. So, she hitchhiked to get back to Port Charles. She told him about scaring a little boy who was living in their house. Lulu was surprised to learn that it was James. Dante told Lulu they were now living at the Quartermaines and she asked him why. TJ told Molly he couldn’t imagine a future without them having children. She said she couldn’t imagine a future for them with children. Before leaving the courtroom, Alexis called Rick a horrible father and person. When she came home, Kristina assured Alexis she’d been okay regardless of the verdict. TJ told Molly he’d spend the night somewhere else. After he left, both TJ and Molly cried on the other side of the door. Carly told Drew and Jason they were different men but good fathers so they should be able to do what’s best for their kids. Laura had some business to finish. She asked Lucky to stay at the apartment in case Lulu showed up. Danny listened to the reunion of Dante, Rocco and Lulu. Dante insisted he take Lulu to the hospital to get checked out not wanting to make the same mistake as before when her untreated head injury resulted in her being in a coma for four years. “There’s something I need you to do for me first,” Lulu told Dante.

Tuesday

Jason (Steve Burton) told Carly (Laura Wright) he wasn’t going to tell her anything about what was going on between him and Drew (Cameron Mathison). Molly (Kristen Vaganos) sat on the couch reading her journals from 2012 about meeting TJ (Taj Bellows). When someone knocked on the door and she opened it and saw her father, Molly told Rick (Rick Hearst) she couldn’t deal with him. Sonny (Maurice Benard) came to Deception and told Natalia (Eva LaRue) he wasn’t there for business “It’s personal.” James insisted to Maxie (Kirsten Storms) the woman he saw in their house was Aunt Lulu (Alexa Havins). Because she didn’t want to go to the hospital, Dante brought Lulu to see her mother. She knocked on the door,and Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) opened it. “Where you been Lesley Lu?” Lucky asked and then they hugged. Anna (Finola Hughes) came to the mayor’s office. Dex (Evan Heller) brought a handcuffed Cyrus (Jeff Kober) in. Laura (Genie Francis) told Cyrus she was having him arrested for stalking her daughter. “Thanks to your help, TJ is staying somewhere else” Molly told Rick. Natalia told Sonny her testimony was the least she could do for Kristina (Kate Mansi). Maxis spoke with Mac (John J. York) on the phone and he confirmed Lulu was awake. She left a message for Dante. Danny came to the boat house and told Jason and Carly that “Rocco got his mom back.” Lucky told Lulu how Nikolas (Adam Huss) couldn’t be her liver donor and was in prison and how he came back to help her. Lulu asked whether their dad was back. Laura told Cyrus how Lulu was missing and on the run because of him. Dante came to Maxie’s house. She asked how Lulu was doing. Sonny assured Natalia that as far as he was concerned, things were okay between them because of what she said about her daughter and about Kristina. Sonny told Natalia that Rick calling Kristina to the stand was to get back at him. Molly told Rick he did his job right and she now believed Kristina losing Irene was a tragic accident. But TJ couldn’t accept how she was grieving. Lulu was upset when Lucky told her their dad had been dead since 2021, killed in a cable car accident because of Victor Cassadine. Laura vowed she’d hold Cyrus responsible if anything happened to Lulu. Danny told Jason and Carly how he saw Rocco with his mom and although he was happy for him, “You miss your mom” Carly said. Sonny told Natalia if the law wasn’t on their side, he’d be there for his daughter. Carly assured Danny it was only natural how he felt. Molly told Rick how TJ said she was emotionless because of the way she’s been processing Irene’s death. She told her father she needed to be alone and asked him to leave. Laura thanked Anna when she arranged for Cyrus to be kept in a holding cell until a representative of Turning Woods could come to Port Charles and decide whether to press charges. Lucky told Lulu that Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco) was the person who donated her liver. Maxie thought about when Lulu told her she was still in love with Dante. But she didn’t tell Dante. Danny received a text from Rocco who asked where he was because he wanted to see him. Lucky told Lulu that Sam and Dante had been in a relationship for a few years and were raising their kids together. Lulu realized the look she saw in Dante’s eyes was grief over losing the woman he loved. Anna called Jason and told him they needed to find Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) now.

Wednesday

Rick (Rick Hearst) told Ava (Maura West) she may want him to pay for his own drink. Molly (Kristen Vaganos) came to her mother’s house and they talked about Ava’s trial and how Kristina (Kate Mansi) felt confident Ava would be found guilty. “There’s no way that jury’s convicting Ava” Molly told Alexis. Curtis (Donnell Turner) told Jordan (Tanisha Harper) that Michael (Chad Duell) was right that Drew (Cameron Mathison) was planning on double crossing him. Anna (Finola Hughes) told Jason (Steve Burton) they had to find Valentin (James Patrick Stuart). Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) came to the Quartermaine stables and told Cody (Josh Bell) that Lulu (Alexa Havins) was awake. Laura greeted her beautiful girl Lulu with a hug, happy her daughter was finally awake. While Dante told him Lulu hitchhiked, Cody realized she was the girl he picked up and told Dante about it. Laura told Lulu she’s going to have so much to absorb and assured her that although Cyrus (Jeff Kober) was her (Laura) half brother, she was getting a restraining order and Cyrus would never get anywhere near her. Lulu commented how things have changed…people have moved away and died. “Like dad.” Laura comforted her daughter and said her dad loved her so much. Molly told Alexis how Rick crafted a masterful defense. But Rick told Ava the case could go her way. “Or the jury could go after the defense attorney who made a grieving mother cry.” Curtis told Jordan how something was going on between Drew and Michael’s wife so Drew offered him Aurora to make it up to him. Jordan urged Curtis to tread carefully with Michael. “If you wanna win, you need to play them both.” TJ entered and told Curtis and Jordan he needed a place to stay tonight “Molly and I are taking a break.” Molly told Alexis ADA Turner did the best with the case she had and the only reason the case went before a judge was because a child died. Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) interrupted Cody and Dante. She told Cody to pick up his phone when her grandmother called or there’d be hell to pay. Lulu asked Laura to call Valentin because she wanted to talk with Charlotte (Scarlett Fernandez) tonight. Anna told Jason how she would have moved heaven and earth if Robin (Kimberly McCullough) was missing when she was a child. And now she’s done the same to Lulu. “You didn’t do it alone.I’m as much to blame as you are” Jason told Anna. Kevin (Jon Lindstrom) returned home and greeted Lulu. He told Laura that Ace is spending the night with the nanny to give Laura time with Lulu. When Kevin left the room, Laura told Lulu that Ace is Nikolas’ (Adam Huss) son and they took him in. Lulu asked where Ace’s mother was. Laura told Lulu she died. “How’s Spencer’s coping with having a new baby brother?” Lulu asked. Ava commented how it looked like he got what he wanted and Molly has forgiven him. Alexis told Molly that whatever the verdict was she hoped everyone would be able to turn the page. Molly told Alexis how TJ couldn’t accept her belief Irene’s death was a tragic accident. TJ told Curtis and Jordan he and Molly have grown so far apart he couldn’t see how they’d come back together. Lulu couldn’t believe Spencer (Nicholas Chavez) was lost. Laura told Lulu how Valentin got into some trouble and left in July and told Charlotte with him. Dante told Brook Lynn that Lulu was awake. Laura told Lulu that the FBI and WSB are looking for Valentin and she’s also reached out to Anna. Jason told Anna she needed to forgive herself. Rick told Ava she could be looking at 10 or 20 years if convicted, but added a fail safe just fell into his lap. He suggested they raise a glass to Ava’s real savior “Alexis Davis.” TJ and Molly told Alexis, Curtis and Jordan the road on how they grew apart. Rick told Ava how Alexis’ outburst in court could be grounds for an appeal. Molly told Alexis that Irene was her last chance to have a child. TJ told Jordan he realized how much he wanted a family and Molly didn’t so they didn’t have a future together…they will just have to start over. Dante told Cody how Carly (Laura Wright) once paid Brook Lynn to break him and Lulu up. Cody handed Dante a lollipop and told him “When you see Lulu, give her this and tell her she owes me twenty bucks.” “I believe you,” Rick told Ava. Jordan told TJ he wasn’t alone. Molly cried because she missed Sam so much and needed her. Lulu was determined to find her daughter. When she grimaced in pain, Laura told her she was taking her to General Hospital. “I’m taking care of you tonight,” Laura said. Jason told Anna he was going to give Valentin a reason to come home.

Thursday

Sonny came home to find Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) waiting for him. Dante told him he didn’t know where to go and didn’t have anyone to talk to. “Does this have to do with Lulu waking up?” Sonny asked. Kristina (Kate Mansi) came to Crimson and told Natalia (Eva LaRue) she wasn’t there to see Maxie (Kirsten Storms). “I’m here to see you,” Kristina said. Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) arrived at Jordan’s (Tanisha Harper) office. TJ (Taj Bellows) told Curtis (Donnell Turner) “Molly moved out.” Molly unloaded her boxes from the car into her mother’s house and told Alexis (Nancy Grahan) she’d fall apart if she kept busy. Jason (Steve Burton) came to Jack’s (Charles Mesure) office. Carly (Laura Wright) came to Anna’s (Finola Hughes) apartment and was surprised to see Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) there. Carly told Anna she’d do anything to help her cousin. “Including planting a bug on Jack Brennan.” Isaiah mistook Jordan’s office for the notary. He told her he’d accepted GH’s job offer. But Jordan told him she couldn’t let him do that. Dante needed Sonny’s advice on how to help Rocco, Danny and Scout accept their new normal about their mothers. Jason told Jack to spot lying when he said he didn’t know where Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) was. Carly agreed to plan the bug on Jack in order to prove Anna wrong. Kristina thanked Natalia for committing perjury by helping her. TJ told Curtis that Molly wasn’t grieving Irene. Instead, she calmly packed up her things to move in with her mother. Alexis told Molly that none of this was her fault. “I hear you. But I’m not sure I believe you” Molly said. Jason told Jack to get in touch with Valentin and tell him he’d meet him wherever he wanted. Then, Jason would bring Charlotte (Scarlett Fernandez) home to her mother and wouldn’t touch Valentin or track him. “I’m offering you an out…take it” Jason said. After Jason left, Jack told Collette, his chief second in command, he got something useful from Mr. Morgan but wasn’t sure how to play it. Jordan offered to look over Isaiah’s contract as she had inside information about GH. Sonny told Dante he can’t solve everything at once. Carly came to Jack’s office and met Collette. Jack returned to his office. He told her that her friend Jason was just there and he’ll tell her the same thing he told him. “I don’t know where Valentin is,” Jack said. Jason returned to Anna’s and learned Spinelli was helping to set up surveillance in Brennan’s office and Anna asked Carly to plant a bug. Spinelli reminded Jason they were all on the same side. TJ told Curtis he wasn’t angry with Molly, he was just indifferent. “What I’m saying nephew is don’t let your anger put you in a box” Curtis told TJ. Molly told Alexis about all the things that were her fault. Kristina told Natalia she needed to make sure she was remembering things right. Carly asked Jack for a glass of water. While he got it, Carly put the bug under her desk. “You’re a good man Jack Brennan” Carly said before leaving. “If I was only as good as you think I am,” Jack said. “What happens when Brennan finds the bug and figures out Carly was the one who planted it?” Jason asked Anna. Alexis told Molly when she asked her to make things right with her sister, she wasn’t saying Kristina was right. Curtis offered to help TJ move the couch around. They found one of Molly’s old journals on the floor. Curtis said they could light it up. Or bring it to Alexis’ assistant. Sonny suggested Dante have his own version of their old family dinner by arranging time together. “Welcoming Lulu back into your life doesn’t mean you guys won’t be missing Sam.” Carly returned to Anna’s and saw Jason’s face. Anna said he wasn’t happy about her planting the bug. “The last thing we need is Brennan knowing any of us had anything to do with planting that bug,” Jason said. Although he loved being a doctor and helping people, Jordan reminded him it was still a job and he needed to be paid. Isaiah suggested as friends, they go out to dinner sometime. Alexis told Molly she needed to take time to grieve the end of her relationship and remember the good times. TJ came to Alexis’ house and gave Molly the journal she left. Before leaving, both TJ and Molly said they’d always love the other. Kristina and Natalia talked about giving anything to go back in time. Kristina received a call and told Natalia “The jury’s back.” “Be careful: Using your power for personal reasons is the quickest way to get burned,” Colette warned. After she left his office, Jack made a call. Anna, Carly, Jason and Spinelli heard him talking with someone (probably Valentin) asking what he wanted to do.

Friday

Molly (Kristen Vaganos) thanked TJ (Taj Bellows) for bringing her journal. She told him she’s been reading the entries about all the trips they wanted to take. TJ told Molly he’s sorry they weren’t able to make those dreams come true. Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) told Lucas (Van Hansis) that Lulu (Alexa Havins) was awake and Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) was sticking around to be there in case she was found responsible for Sam’s (Kelly Monaco) death. Brad (Parry Shen) confided in Stella (Vernee Watson). Kai Taylor came over to the Jerome Gallery and told Trina (Tabyana Ali) there’s something he wanted to talk to her about their project. On the Home & Heart set, Lois (Rena Sofer) was praised by the makeup artist for losing her accent. Kai told Trina he’d speak to the RA about getting an extension. Trina said she was disappointed. Maxie (Kirsten Storms) told Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) they needed to hit $75,000 in sales. Maxie told Brook Lynn if they didn’t hit their target, they’d run the risk of losing their segment on Home & Heart. Alexis told her girls regardless of the verdict, they’d lost so much already so she wanted them to promise they wouldn’t lose each other. “Will the defendant please rise?” Judge Chann requested as Ava (Maura West) and Rick (Rick Hearst) stood. Stella told Brad to be genuinely remorseful for his mistakes and do better. “There’s no we here. You need to do what’s right for your future. And I need to do what’s right for mine” Trina told Kai. Ava was found not guilty. While Molly followed TJ out of the courtroom, Kristina sat motionless. Lois got called out by someone from the old neighborhood in Bensonhurst for ditching her accent.Brad overheard Lucas telling Elizabeth he was one of five doctors chosen to speak at a medical symposium in Florida. Kristina snapped out of it. Alexis told Kristina it was over and there wasn’t any more legal recourse. TJ asked Molly how she felt about the verdict. When she gave her thoughts that she believed it was an accident, TJ said “I’m glad you got what you wanted” before walking away. Kristina came out of the courtroom and asked Molly what TJ meant. When she overheard Portia turning down Brad’s request to attend the medical symposium in Florida, Stella said “You just made a big mistake.” Sonny (Maurice Benard) refused Ava’s request to pick up Avery (Ava and Grace Scarola). Kristina accused Molly of believing Ava over her. Brad debated whether to blackmail Portia in order to go to the symposium. Lois went back to her real accent and said she was proud of being from Bensonhurst. Stella told Portia as Co-Chief of Staff, she needed to learn to be impartial. Alexis encouraged Ava to just take the win. Molly told Kristina she just needed to move on. Maxie, Brook Lynn, Lois and Haven were elated this was the best selling Home & Heart segment. Lucas urged TJ not to use work as a distraction, suggesting he instead work out his frustrations on the punching bag at the gym. Trina left a message for Ava that she had to work on her project and couldn’t come to work, apologizing for letting her down. Sonny reluctantly agreed Ava could have a supervised visit with Avery. Kristina told Molly they were done.
