Monday

Trina (Tabayana Ali) and Josslyn (Eden McCoy) were at Rice Plaza with Dex (Evan Hofer) and Gio (Giovanni Mazza). Trina was excited to get a Christmas tree for their apartment. Lucky (Jonatha Jackson) bumped into Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst), literally. Martin (Michael E. Knight) and Laura (Genie Francis) called Lulu (Alexa Havins) waking up a Christmas miracle. They talked about Cyrus (Jeff Kober) convincing the Turning Woods staff he was calling the shots regarding Lulu’s care. Alexis (Nancy Grahan) tried to assure Molly (Kristen Vaganos) that Kristina (Kate Mansi) didn’t mean what she said when she said Molly wasn’t Irene’s mother. Sonny (Maurice Benard) asked Kristina what she meant when she said it shouldn’t have happened. Lucky offered to be Elizabeth’s wing man for Christmas tree shopping, even offering to carry it into her house. Laura told Martin she got a restraining order against Cyrus “He can’t get anywhere near anyone in my family.” Molly assured Alexis she’d never lose her. But if it looked like she was siding with her, she’d definitely lose Kristina. “One way or another I promise you, Ava’s gonna pay” Sonny told Kristina. After looking at four trees, Trina and Josslyn found the perfect tree. Dex ran into Cyrus. Laura told Martin she’d like Lulu to ease into leaning back into her life. “Can you imagine waking up and finding out years have passed?” Martin asked Laura. “Yes I can…because I lived it” Laura answered. “What about you…do you think Ava passed Kristina?” Molly asked Alexis. Kristina vowed she’s going to be sure her daughter got justice. Lucky and Elizabeth reminisce about their teenage dream of living in New York where he’d make it rich playing guitar in the park while she became a famous artist. Lucky said Elizabeth deserved the best. Laura told Martin how she had to rebuild her relationship with Lulu when she came home after losing so many years. Martin commented it was a gift for Lulu to have a mother who understood what she was going through. Sonny told Kristina “You’re done now. Let me deal with Ava.” He told her she needed to find purpose in her life. Alexis told Molly she believed the jury came up with a fair verdict based on the information they received. Cyrus assured Dex he’d abide by his sister’s wishes and stay away. Lucky suggested they decorate and surprise Aiden (Colin Cassidy) with a Christmas wonderland. “Have you given any more thought to my job offer?” Sonny asked Kristina, who said coffee wasn’t her passion. He told her she had to channel her peace, love and energy. Gio told Dex, Trina and Josslyn about all the Christmas tree decorating traditions back home. Lucky and Elizabeth decorated the Christmas tree. She commented how she wished she someday would be friends with her kids the way Lucky was with Luke (Anthony Geary). Lucky told Elizabeth he’s decided to stay in Port Charles for the foreseeable future. She commented he needed to find a job and revisit an old dream. Lucky said there was only one problem…he needed a guitar. “Please hold” Elizabeth smiled and went upstairs. Josslyn told Dex she left something in the park. Gio and Trina decorated the Christmas tree. Trina said she’d keep it in mind if she needed someone to teach her how to play the guitar. Molly promised she would leave without talking with Alexis first. Sonny told Kristina since Phyllis moved back to Nixon Falls, he needed someone to own Charlie’s. Otherwise, he’ll have to sell it. “So, what do you say?” Sonny asked. Josslyn told Dex she knew he wasn’t happy hearing all the holiday talk and thought he’d needed to get away. Pulling out mistletoe, Josslyn told Dex they were going to make great Christmas memories together. “Starting right now.” Then, they returned to his place and made love. Sonny told Kristina sometimes work could be a lifeline. “I know how far you fought to get justice for Adela. Now it’s time to take care of yourself.” Kristina promised to think about it. Alexis told Molly “I’m really happy I get to take care of my little girl again.” “We can take care of eachother” Molly told Alexis. Martin told Laura that Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) was an artist at compartmentalizing and showing people what he wanted them to see. Elizabeth handed Lucky Cameron’s guitar and told him guitar’s were meant to be played and not collect dust in his room. She told him to play something. While Lucky played and sang, we got a montage of old Lucky and Elizabeth scenes. It was revealed Cyrus was the one who injected digitalis into Sam’s (Kelly Monaco) IV.

Tuesday

You are not going to be what just happened,” Trina (Tabayana Ali) said to Josslyn (Eden McCoy). Felicia (Kristina Wagner), Georgie and James were shopping for a Christmas tree. Dex (Evan Hofer) introduced Felicia to his new partner Officer Lauren Jackson. Jack (Charles Mesure) waited for Carly (Laura Wright) in her office. Putting the bug on her desk, Jack said he was there to tell her how disappointed he was. Maxie (Kirsten Storms) arrived at the Quartermaine mansion while Sasha (Sofia Mattsson) was putting icing on a gingerbread house. Curtis (Donnell Turner) told Drew (Cameron Mathison) he was the man he wanted to see. Maxie was eager to see Lulu (Alexa Havins). Lulu came to Crimson and demanded Nina (Cynthia Watros) tell her where her daughter was. Curtis wanted Drew to make the announcement of the CEO change before he went to Washington. Drew told Curtis he owed him an explanation because there’s been a change of plans. Trina told Josslyn that not only did Kai (Jens Austin Astrup) do his half of the project and email it to her in the middle of the night, his work was better than hers. Felicia gave James money for a treat so he and Georgie could move away from the brewing fight between drunk Llanview and Port Charles college guys arguing over the upcoming game. Sasha told Maxie that Lulu was staying with her mother. Nina told Lulu she didn’t know where Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) was, adding it must come to a shock that the world didn’t wait for her to wake up. Carly didn’t deny planting the bug and said she was glad she did because Jack lied to her about not knowing where Valentin was. Sasha told Maxie she was keeping the baby. “You said the dad was a one night stand, do you have any way of tracking him down?” Maxie asked Sasha as Willow (Katelyn MacMuellen) entered. Lulu said if Nina cared about Charlotte (Scarlett Fernandez) the way she claimed, she’d tell her where her daughter was. Jack told Carly he had a number for Valentin but it was for an untraceable cell phone. Dex stopped the fight and told the drunk guys to leave. He took two bottles of alcohol from one of the guys. When he went to put out the alcohol, someone came up from behind and stabbed him. Officer Jackson asked Felicia whether Dex came back. Then, she found Dex on the ground. Felicia came and tried to wake Dex up. Nina’s assistant Madison called security but Lulu refused to leave. “If you have a problem with that, you can call your boss my cousin Carly Spencer.” Carly said she may have been wrong about Jack. She received a call and told him she had something to take care of and asked Jack to wait for her in her office. “I don’t take orders from you,” Jack said. Michael entered the CEO office at Aurora with papers for Drew to sign. Drew told Curtis he’ll have his assistant schedule a meeting for them for December 22 then left. Curtis told Michael that was the day Drew planned to blindside him but it would be the day he found out he couldn’t get away with it. At GH, Dex told Chase (Josh Swickward) about the stabbing. Trina admitted to Josslyn she may have misjudged Kai. Maxie questioned Sasha about the obvious chill between her and Willow. Lucas told Dex he was lucky the stabbing didn’t do any permanent damage. Chase questioned Cyrus. Maxie told Georgie and James to stay with Officer Jackson. She came over and told Chase she was there when it happened and could tell him everything. Maxie told Sasha she wouldn’t be alone raising the baby because she was a part of the Scorpio family. Carly happily welcomes Lulu back. She told her that she believed Nina didn’t know where Valentin was but she knew someone who could help her. Felicia gave Chase a timeline accurate account of events. Trina told Josslyn she had to make a decision whether she would present Kai’s portion of their project as her own. Curtis told Michael he’d take Dre down but would do it his way. Willow met with Drew in the park and told him she decided to tell Michael they slept together but would wait until after Christmas so Wiley would have one last Christmas to remember them together as a family. Carly brought Lulu back to her office and introduced her to Jack. She told Lulu that Jack had a number for Valentin, Lulu told him to get dialing.

Wednesday

Anna (Finola Hughes) came to see Dex (Evan Hofer) at GH and said he set a new record for being injured in the line of duty when he’s only had his badge for six months. Curtis (Donnell Turner) asked Jordan (Tanisha Harper) to hold off on the city project until after he’s the official CEO. Martin (Michael E. Knight) left a voicemail for Cyrus (Jeff Kober) and demanded he call him because he’s been hearing some disturbing things about him. Someone put their hand on his shoulder. Nina (Cynthia Watros) told Maxie she hoped Lulu (Alexa Havins) knew she wasn’t her enemy. Lulu ordered Jack (Charles Mesure) to call Valentin (James Patrick Stuart). Dex gave his account of the events that occurred before he was stabbed. “Do you think I was targeted because I’m a cop? Dex asked Anna as Josslyn (Eden McCoy) rushed in. “I got everything I need,” Anna said and left. Drew (Cameron Mathison) interrupted Nina and Maxie and Maxie left. Drew gave Nina the latest on Aurora. “Curtis is out. Michael is in” Drew told Nina. Martin reminded Jason (Steve Burton) he kidnapped him. Jason told Martin he was asking the question. Carly (Laura Wright) told Lulu she trusts Valentin. Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) came in to check in on Dex and told Josslyn her boyfriend was lucky. Portia (Brooke Kerr) interrupted Curtis and Jordan. Carly told Lulu that her mom passed away. When she found Martin with Jason, Anna asked “Why isn’t he restrained?” Josslyn asked Dex whether he thought Sonny could be involved with his stabbing. After Jordan left, Curtis thanked Portia for coming over and said “I’m about to take Aurora away from Drew and I want you to know why.” Carly reminded Lulu that Spencers didn’t give up on eachother so they’d find Charlotte (Scarlett Fernandez). Maxie entered and she and Lulu hugged. Jack told Collette they were going to let Carly Spencer and her power friends find Valentin. Anna told Jason to get information out of Martin one way or another. Portia asked Curtis whether Jordan was helping him with his plan to take over Aurora. Isaiah told Jordan he would be sticking around Port Charles. Dex told Josslyn that Sonny gave him his word he’d not come after him and Sonny’s word means a lot to him. Maxie and Lulu got caught up. Jack asked Collette how long she thought a teenage girl could go without her phone. Anna told Jason to jog Martin’s memory. Drew told Nina he needed her to soften the blow with Curtis, who told Portia from now on, he wouldn’t keep any secrets from her because he needed people he could trust. Maxie told Lulu she and Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) were together. Lulu commented she owed Sam (Kelly Monaco) her life and couldn’t thank her. Anna told Martin he’d better hope something on his phone helps to locate Valentin. Jack gave Collette instructions on how to use Scarlett’s posts to find her. Carly came to Corinthos Coffee and refused to leave when Jason told her. “What’s more important? Your friendship with Curtis or Willow’s happiness?” Drew asked Nina. Dex told Josslyn he had a week off and suggested they go to a beach somewhere. Jordan decided to wait to talk with Dex. Anna told Martin she’d do anything it took to find Charlotte. Spinelli got a hit on a Swiss bank account that was accessed by Valentin.

Thursday

Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Natalia (Eva LaRue) were having dinner at Cafe Cherie. Natalia showed Sonny the latest sale numbers from Lois’ (Rena Sofer) Home & Heart appearance. Ava (Maura West) and Rick (Rick Hearst) entered. Kristina (Kate Mansi) told Alexis (Nancy Grahan) how Sonny decided Charlie’s should be under new management…hers. And she thought it was the perfect time to reinvent herself. Dex (Evan Hofer) told Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) he was feeling better. Sasha (Sofia Mattsson) lied to Carly (Laura Wright) that she was looking for multivitamins, but the prenatal vitamin page came up by mistake. Nina (Cynthia Watros) thanked Willow (Katelyn MacMuellen) for inviting her to the Quartermaine Christmas party. Tracy (Jane Eliott) commented to Ned (Wally Kurth) what could go wrong with the Christmas party with Drew (Cameron Mathison) sleeping with Michael’s (Chad Duell) wife. Rick asked Natalia whether the dinner was payback for her lying on the stand. Alexis told Kristina that TJ (Tj Bellows) and Molly (Kristen Vaganos) broke up. Felicia (Kristina Wagner) asked Elizabeth whether Dex Heller was up for visitors. “Let me guess…you think it’s my fault.” Willow told Nina she was dreading the party. “There’s our new congressman,” Carly said when Drew entered. Ava suggested she and Rick go somewhere else. “Please tell me you understand what Molly is going through,” Alexis said. Josslyn (Eden McCoy) was watching the PCU vs. Llanview football game on her cell phone and told Trina (Tabayana Ali) was having an off game. Drew was telling Michael his plan to make Christmas extra special for Scout this year when Willow entered. Drew left to get a drink. Tracy refused to let anyone turn on the football game. Carly asked Olivia (Lisa LoCierco) what was going on between Michael and Willow. Ava and Rick drank to the next chapter of her life. Natalia told Sonny she was close to her parents and siblings but not her children. Kristina told Alexis she sympathized with what TJ and Molly were going through and added if Molly felt like a real mother she’d want Ava to pay. Felicia came to visit Dex, who commented the day after his stabbing could have been worse. “Drew is the one who drove Willow and I apart and that’s gonna cost him dearly” Michael told Sasha. Rick told Ava getting one over on Sonny was an added bonus. Natalia told Sonny about her son. Natalia told Sonny she admired his relationship with his kids. Alexis told Kristina she refused to see that both she and Molly were in agony. “I promise you, you need your sister more than you realize” Alexis told Kristina, who agreed she needed her sister. “But Molly isn’t the sister I need…I need Sam.” Dex told Felicia getting injured doing something he loved made it worthwhile. Drew told Willow he couldn’t give Scout the one thing she needed. Josslyn was happy PCU scored a touchdown. But surprised Gio was at the party and didn’t stay at the stadium to watch the game live after playing his violin there. Drew told Carly he decided to make Port Charles his home base and commute to DC in order for Scout not to have any more upheaval in her life. “You’re using your grieving daughter as an excuse to be around Willow” Nina accused Drew. Sonny told Natalia how when Rick didn’t get his acceptance, he tried to bring him down. “You gotta watch your back Rick but he’s not above stabbing you in it” Sonny told Natalia. Ava told Rick she only cared about what Avery (Ava and Grace Scarola), Trina, Lucas (Van Hansis) and Nina thought of her. “Everyone else can kick rocks.” Alexis told Kristina punishing her sister is hurting her most of all. Tracy told Ned they needed to evict Drew today. “I don’t want Molly to be in pain. I don’t want anyone to be in pain. But I can’t do what you’re asking me to do” Kristina said. Alexis assured Kristina she’d never lose her because she’s her mother and would love her always. Sonny told Natalia he’s not going to make the custody case quick or easy, adding he and Ava were going to keep arguing until they are bankrupt. Ava paid for dinner. But the waiter informed her that her card was declined for insufficient funds. Rick received a notification that the check Ava used to pay him bounced. Michael was able to get the cable to work and put the game on the tv. But when Tracy attempted to turn it off, she instead picked up Michael’s phone and put the nanny cam video of Drew and Willow kissing and about to make love.

Friday

The waiter told Ava (Maura West) all three of her credit cards have been declined. Rick’s (Rick Hearst) credit cards were declined as well. He told them they’ve run up a six hundred dollar bill with gratuities and it looked like they had no way to pay. Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) and some officers entered Wyndemere with guns drawn. “Officer, don’t shoot” Lulu (Alexa Havins) said, hands raised. Everyone was shocked when the video of Drew (Cameron Mathison) and Willow (Katelyn MacMuellen) making love was shown. Gio (Giovanni Mazza) commented to Trina (Tabyana Ali) and Josslyn (Eden McCoy) that Drew was a dead man when his Uncle Sonny (Maurice Benard) found out. Lucas (Van Hansis) rushed into Cafe Cherie and was told about Ava’s card being declined. He handed over his credit card to pay the bill. Dante told the officers he knew the woman and she wasn’t a danger to anyone but herself. They left for the launch. Lulu told Dante she was there to find any information Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) may have left behind. Carly (Laura Wright) comforted Michael (Chad Duell) while Ned (Wally Kurth) berated Drew. “You took that video, didn’t you?” Willow asked Michael through her tears. Michael admitted to recording the video and told Willow how he brought the nanny cam and received a notification about activity in Amelia’s room. Willow cried that she and Drew haven’t been together since the night Sam (Kelly Monaco) died so he’s had the video for weeks…”Why didn’t you say anything?” “Because I wanted us to have one last Christmas together as a family,” Michael answered. Ava suggested Lucas stay since he paid for dinner. Lucas asked for a menu and also ordered a bottle of champagne. Lulu told Dante he must hate her because Sam died saving her life. Dante told Lulu he didn’t blame her and was trying to balance Sam dying with Lulu being back. Josslyn was really angry with Drew and Willow and left. Trina asked Gio whether he still had that All Access pass from when he played the national anthem at the game. Carly read Willow the riot act for throwing away her marriage after all Michael has done and given her. Willow walked out of the room. Chase (Josh Swickward) told Sasha (Sofia Mattsson) and Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) that maybe they shouldn’t have pushed Willow and Michael together all those years ago. Carly confronted Drew and said Jason (Steve Burton) must have known which is why they fought. Tracy (Jane Eliott) urged Drew to move out and to Washington before Monica (Leslie Charleson) found out. Sasha told Chase nothing they did years ago was to blame for what’s happening with Willow and Michael now. Trina came to the stadium and congratulated him on PCU’s win. Josslyn arrived at GH and found Dex (Evan Hofer) in code blue with the doctors working frantically to save his life. Anna (Finola Hughes) comforted Josslyn, who was confused since she’d just spoken with Dex. Lulu picked the lock of a box she found of Charlotte’s things. Nina urged Willow to get the kids and stay with her, reminding Michael had powerful allies and would take her children away from her. Ava told Rick the reason why her credit card was declined had nothing to do with someone trying to steal her identity: The Cassadines took back her divorce settlement from Nikolas (Adam Huss). Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) gave Anna and Josslyn the sad news that although they did everything they could, Dex didn’t make it. Elizabeth turned off the monitors in Dex’s hospital room and wondered what was going on at GH. Michael accused Drew of not wanting the video to be leaked to protect himself and not Willow. As Nina and Willow were about to leave the gatehouse with Amelia and Wiley, Carly asked where they were going adding that they weren’t try to take away Michael’s kids were they.
