Tuesday

Alexis (Nancy Grahan) and Kristina sat on Pier 54 when Ava (Maura West) appeared. At the PCPD, Drew (Cameron Mathison) and Martin (Michael E. Knight) filled Anna (Finola Hughes) in on why Tracy (Jane Eliott) was arrested. Anna questioned Tracy on the whereabouts of Wiley and Amelia Cornithos. At Deception, Maxie (Kirsten Storms) and Natalia (Eva LaRue) talked about Michael (Chad Duell). A conscious but in pain Michael told Carly (Laura Wright) he wanted to go to Germany then asked for Sasha (Sofia Mattsson). Anna told Tracy she refused to let her use the PCPD to settle a family disagreement. Tracy gloated to Drew that it didn’t work the way the congressman planned. Anna noticed Jack (Charles Mesure) enter the PCPD. He told her he had information on the incendiary device that destroyed Sonny’s apartment. Ava offered her sympathies for what happened to Michael and commented the next time someone went after Sonny, maybe they wouldn’t miss. “What did you say?” Kristina asked, angry and shocked. Maxie told Natalia anyone in Sonny’s orbit was in danger. Carly came back out into the hall and told Portia (Brooke Kerr), Sonny and Willow (Katelyn McMuellen) that Michael chose treatment in Germany and asked for Sasha. Jason (Steve Burton) said he’d get in touch with Sasha. Willow asked to see Michael. Anna asked Jack whether he was the one who planted the device in Sonny’s apartment. Willow told Michael no matter what happened between them, she still cared about him and wanted him to get better. She promised Wiley and Amelia would know how much he loved them. Michael fought pain while he listened. But then his machines started peeping. Ava told Kristina she will testify of the danger Sonny puts his children in when she testifies at the custody hearing. When Kristina walked away, Alexis ordered Ava to stay away from her daughter and said she’d have her to answer to if she didn’t. Jack told Anna the way Sonny’s apartment was set ablaze wasn’t his style and he doubted any of the three initial agencies had anything to do with it. Jason and Sasha walked in on another Carly/Willow confrontation. Portia came out of the burn unit and announced she had to sedate Michael again. Jason told Carly it was good she was going to Germany to be with Michael. Anna called Jason and told him he needed to get down to the PCPD. Sasha came to Deception and told Maxie and Natalia that Michael was being transferred to a clinic in Germany for treatment of his burns. After Natalia left the room, Sasha told Maxie she had her first natal appointment and it made her think of Liam. Alexis asked Ava how she’d feel if someone treated Avery (Ava and Grace Scarola) the way she’d treated Kristina. Ava decided she couldn’t wait for the launch all day. Drew arrived at GH and Willow updated him about Michael’s treatment in Germany. She told him she spoke with Michael to apologize for everything that happened between them and let him know she still cared about him. Jenz (Carlos Rota) met with Alexis on Pier 55 to talk about his purchase of Wyndemere. Sasha told Maxie although she wasn’t ready to go public with her pregnancy, she was glad she had her and Felicia (Kristina Wagner) to talk to. Drew and Willow went to the chapel where Willow lit a candle. He told her about Tracy’s arrest and Willow wondered whether she made the wrong decision and if she’d get her children back. Martin told Anna he was on the side of a mother and her children. Tracy told Jason that Willow was welcome to visit her children on the Quartermaine property as long as Drew wasn’t anywhere around. Jason warned her power and money wouldn’t keep her out of prison. Tracy said the children were Quartermaines and would remain with the family where they belonged. Ava came to see Sonny and asked him to do the right thing and think of Avery. Martin was angry Tracy hadn’t been charged yet, reminding her job was to uphold the law no matter how petty she thought it was. “ I love that this is happening and I love my baby already” Sasha told Maxie. Alexis gave Jenz the title to Wyndemere. Tracy refused to tell Anna where the children were. “Officer do your job” Tracy said as she was taken to booking. Carly thanked Jack for his help. Jason came to the chapel. Ava told Sonny whoever set off that bomb wouldn’t care whether it was Michael or Avery he was hurt. “I will get my daughter back permanently” Ava vowed then left. Sonny experienced chest pain and fell to the floor under the table.

Wednesday

Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) and Kristina (Kate Mansi) toasted the reopening of Charlie’s. Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) told Tracy (Jane Eliott) she’s been at the PCPD three hours longer than she should have. He added she wouldn’t be leaving until she got to see their holding cells. Lulu (Alexa Havins) entered and asked to see Tracy. “Nope, too late” Dante told Lulu. Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) asked whether Jason (Steve Burton) was there because of Michael (Chad Duell). “No, it’s about your kids,” Jason answered. Sasha (Sofia Mattsson) read Wiley a story and asked whether he wanted another. Wiley answered no and said he missed mommy and daddy and asked when his mommy was coming home. Natalia (Eva LaRue) found Sonny (Maurice Benard) unconscious in his office. She found his pills on the floor and put one in his mouth. Jason told Drew (Cameron Mathison) and Willow there was a compromise that could work for everyone. He suggested that Willow and the kids move back into the gatehouse where Monica (Leslie Charleson) would have access to them. Drew asked whether Tracy was aware of this compromise. Lulu asked for fifteen minutes with Tracy, assuring she could get her to cooperate. When she was let into the interrogation room, Lulu told Tracy she pushed Dante too far and not only would be put into a cell but had to beat a kidnapping charge. Wiley was disappointed the person at the door was Felicia (Kristina Wagner) and not his mommy. Maxie (Kirsten Storms), Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) and Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) arrive at Charlie’s. When Lucky served him a drink, Isaiah said he found his calling. Lucky said he was glad he decided to stick around town when Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) entered Charlie’s. “If you can get Tracy to agree to the terms you just outlined, I’ll move back into the gatehouse” Willow told Jason. “I’ll let you know when it’s done” Jason said then left the chapel. Felicia warned Sasha not to get dragged into Quartermaine toxic shenanigans. Lucky signaled for Isaiah to scram so he could talk to Elizabeth about their case. Cody (Josh Kelly) was at the reopening. Brick (Stephen A. Smith) wasn’t happy that Jordan (Tanisha Harper) joined Isaiah at his table. Kristina greeted Brick with a hug and thanked him for coming. He assured Sonny would be there. Natalia called 911 but Sonny regained consciousness and told her no hospitals. Lulu tried to get through to Tracy. Jason returned to the PCPD and asked Dante to speak with Tracy, saying he had a deal on the table. Jason told Tracy he could get the charges dropped and assured the kids would remain on the Quartermaine property. “What’s the catch?” Tracy asked. Willow told Drew if Jason had a way to bring her kids home, she was taking it. Tracy didn’t want to agree to the deal, saying what’s to stop Willow from taking the kids and moving back to Nina’s (Cynthia Watros). Or to Washington with Drew. Lulu asked Jason whether she could speak with Tracy alone. She encouraged Tracy to take the win because this way she could watch the kids for Michael. Sonny refused to let Natalia take him to the hospital and asked her to use his phone to call Dr. Gannon. Isaiah asked Jordan how she felt about Sonny Cornithos. He received a call and told Jordan he had to leave because it was a medical emergency. Isaiah told Jordan he hoped they could do it again. After Isaiah left, Brick took the vacant seat. Felicia told Sasha that Willow deserved to be extended some grace. Cody blackmailed Spinelli for his silence about Society Setups. Isaiah urged Sonny to see a cardiologist. Drew warned Willow if the Quartermaines saw a way to take her children away from her, they would. Sasha was grateful the Scorpios were nothing like the Quartermaines. Lulu asked Jason and Dante to come back into the interrogation room. “I’ll do it..I’ll take the deal” Tracy announced. Martin (Michael E. Knight) told Lucky and Elizabeth how Laura (Genie Francis) could have sued Turning Woods for negligence for letting Cyrus (Jeff Kober) have access to Lulu. Jason came to the gatehouse and told Felicia and Sasha that Willow and Tracy reached a deal and Willow was coming home. Drew told Willow he didn’t believe Jason would lie to her. Jason called Willow and told her “I’m at the gatehouse with your kids. Come on home.” Natalia offered to stay all night with Sonny to watch over him since he didn’t want to go to the hospital. Martin told Lucky and Elizabeth how Cyrus wanted their mother’s suffering to end which is why Martin took over the medical directive. After Martin left, Lucky commented to Elizabeth that they were missing because neither Sam (Kelly Monaco) nor Dex (Evan Hofer) were terminal. Cody and Spinelli’s altercation drew attention. When he tried to get Cody to calm down, Lucky got decked by Cody. Martin came to the chapel. Drew told Martin he’d do anything to protect Willow. The desk sergeant took a phone call that the charges against Tracy were being dropped. Kristina hoped Charlie’s wouldn’t be known as the bar of brawls. As Tracy was being released, Cody was brought in and yelled out to Tracy not to believe anything Lucy said. Willow was reunited with Wiley and thanked Jason.

Thursday

Alexis (Nancy Grahan) arrived at Charlie’s and asked Kristina (Kate Mansi) where Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) was. In the PCPD interrogation room, Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) gave first aid to Lucky’s face. “This is Cody’s second drug bar fight. What the hell is going on with him?” Mac (John J. York) asked Felicia (Kristina Wagner). Molly (Kristen Vaganos) came down to speak with Cody (Josh Kelly) at the holding cell. She told him he had to pay for damages caused to Charlie’s. Cody felt Lucky should have to pay too. Ava (Maura West) came to the mayor’s office and thanked Laura (Genie Francis) for testifying for her at the custody hearing. Natalia (Eva LaRue) let Brick (Stephen A. Smith) into Sonny’s (Maurice Benard) room at The Metro Court. Josslyn (Eden McCoy) told Lucas (Van Hansis) that Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) stabbed Dex (Evan Hofer). Mac told Felicia he was worried about his son. Molly told Cody her sister who is the owner of the bar agreed not to press charges if he just paid for damages. Cody said he didn’t have any money so he guessed he was stuck there. “Who said you were?” Mac asked when he appeared. Kristina told her mother and Jordan (Tanisha Harper) about the fight. Lucy (Lynn Herring) entered Charlie’s with Jenz (Carlos Rota). Laura told Ava she couldn’t testify for her because circumstances with Sonny have changed and it would be a conflict of interest. Laura told Ava she hoped she and Sonny were about to work things out. Sonny told Brick about his heart condition. Natalia offered to go to Charlie’s and tell Kristina the reason he wasn’t there was because he got tied up with business. “Tell her I’m talking to Brick” Sonny asked Natalia as that’s the truth. Before leaving, Natalia asked Brick to make sure Sonny avoided stress. Brick called Natalia a tough task master. “That’s one of the things I like about her,” Sonny said with a smile. Josslyn told Lucas how she let Cyrus know she was onto him. Lucy introduced Jenz to Kristina. Sidwell ordered an expensive bottle of champagne. He was interested when Lucy pointed out Deputy Mayor Jordan Ashford. After Molly left, Mac asked Cody whether his drunken bar fights hid a bigger issue they needed to address. Elizabeth suggested Lucky challenge card player Cody to a poker game. Rick (Rick Hearst) brought Ava to an apartment in her price range because she needed to establish a permanent residence if he wanted custody of Avery (Ava and Grace Scarola). Brick told Sonny their number one priority was to make sure a close call like the one tonight never happened again. Jordan came to see Laura and told her about Jenz Sidwell being at Charlie’s and using his real name as he obviously didn’t think they had anything on him. “We’ll see about that,” Laura said. Cody apologized to Mac for letting him down. “You let yourself down” Mac said, concerned his son was spiraling out of control. Felicia told Molly that Mac could get through to Cody. Lucky saw Felicia and wanted to talk to her. Rick told Ava a hotel wasn’t the best place to raise a child. And she said Avery was the most important thing to her so he was sure she’d make it work. Felicia told Lucky and Elizabeth about Cyrus ringing his donation bell and how it stopped when Dex was stabbed. Mac told Cody he wasn’t going to let him push his family away. Natalia came to Charlie’s and congratulated Kristina and told him how she and Sonny were working on Deception business and then associate Brick came by. Brick told Sonny he made arrangements for Sonny to see a top cardiologist in California. Rick told Ava she wasn’t set up for a long custody battle in her current circumstances. Kristina told Alexis how she set up a payment plan with her dad as he felt it was better if she was the owner. She told her mother she got a notice there was a new date for Avery’s custody hearing and intended to do anything she could to protect her sister. Laura told Jordan the CIA, FBI nor the WSB had any outstanding warrants for Sidwell. Laura received an invite from Lucy who arranged a meeting with Jenz. Laura smiled and told Jordan maybe it was time to give Sidwell what he wanted. Ava apologized for snapping at Rick and told him how Laura backed out of being her character witness. She sadly said she felt like she was battling the entire world just to be a mother to her daughter. Natalia returned to Sonny’s hotel room and said she intended to keep her promise to look out for him. Josslyn vowed to find the connection between Cyrus and the murders. Natalia told Sonny they’d come up with a reason why he needed to be in California. Mac told Cody since he was determined to stay there, he’d let him as it would give him time to think. After kissing, Ava told Rick he convinced her to take the place. Laura called Jenz and arranged a meeting with him for tomorrow. Molly told Felicia that Cody would continue with destructive behavior as long as someone continued to bail him out. Or unless he helped himself. She added she learned this from watching her mother and Kristina. Lucy apologized to Kristina for telling her about the apartment she rented to Ava. Kristina commented everyone needed a place to live, including Ava. Lucky suggested he and Elizabeth go to Turning Woods but agreed to keep quiet and let her ask the questions. Lucas told Josslyn to stay away from the Cyrus investigation. “What could I do?” Josslyn said.

Friday

BADEN-BADEN, Germany. Carly (Laura Wright) entered her hotel room and wanted to break something. She sat down and cried instead. Willow (Katelyn MacMuellen) left a voicemail for Drew (Cameron Mathison). Nina (Cynthia Watros) arrived with breakfast. Willow told Nina she thinks she made a mistake. Curtis (Donnell Turner) told Drew he wasn’t interested in anything he had to say. Trina (Tabayana Ali) asked Josslyn (Eden McCoy) what she was doing at GH. “Trying to stop a murderer,” Josslyn answered. Kai (Jens Austin Astrup) told Stella (Vernee Watson) he’d be released from GH soon. When she found Lulu (Alexa Havins) in Maxie’s (Kirsten Storms) office, Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) asked whether Maxie told Lulu they weren’t hiring. Jenz (Carlos Rota) entered Laura’s (Genie Francis) office. He was surprised to see Anna (Finola Hughes), who reminded him how he tried to have her, Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) and Laura’s son Lucky (Jonathan Jackson). Someone knocked on the door. Carly opened it and was surprised to see Jack (Charles Mesure). Laura told Jenz she didn’t want him in Port Charles. Curtis told Drew whatever he had in mind, he was sure it didn’t work for him. Tracy (Jane Eliott) entered the gatehouse and told Willow with the kids in school, she thought they should talk about the new ground rules. Kai was eager to begin PT so he could get back to playing. Jack told Carly he had business in London and wanted to check on her. Carly suggested they order room service. Willow warned Tracy she would have the charges reinstated. Drew suggested an emergency stock sale so he could regain control of the company he founded. But Curtis said he’d resign then take his deal. Trina told Josslyn she picked up some water and electrolytes for Kai because it was important he stay hydrated while in the hospital. Dr. Park entered Kai’s room and asked whether he was ready to discuss his condition. Maxie tells Lulu hiring her as Brook Lynn’s assistant wouldn’t be a good decision. Although she wasn’t allowed to see him due to the sensitivity of his burn treatment, Carly told Jack that Michael’s needs came first. Tracy told Willow there was a little bit of Nelle (Chloe Lanier) in her. “Michael was burned because he was with Sonny and it was my decision to bring Sonny into Michael’s life” Carly told Jack. Trina told Stella she made a snap judgment about Kai, but he proved her wrong. Lulu was surprised that Brook Lynn was tested to see whether she was a compatible liver donor. Brook Lynn said Lulu had no idea how much Deception meant to Maxie. Before leaving her office, Jenz told Laura and Anna he looked forward to proving to them he was a law abiding citizen. Drew reminded Curtis not all marriages last forever. Tracy told Willow that Drew wasn’t allowed on the property so if she felt compelled to visit him she had to do it somewhere else. Carly told Jack about Michael’s father. Jack told Carly about the agent and good friend who was killed early in his career. “You can’t live your life preoccupied with what if” Jack said, reminding you can’t change the past. Curtis told Drew if he succeeded in selling Willow from Michael “You would have gotten what you wanted.” Willow wondered whether she should take the kids and move back in with Nina. Lulu and Brook Lynn expressed regrets for past mistakes. Tracy entered Maxie’s office and asked “Lulu, what are you doing here?” Anna told Laura that Sidwell’s arrival in Port Charles coincided with the bombing of Sonny’s apartment. “So are you saying you think Sidwell was behind the bombing in Sonny’s apartment?” Laura asked. Anna told Laura it was too soon to know but if security footage in the area showed a match for Sidwell, they might be able to pin it on him. Before Curtis showed him out of his office, Drew warned if he didn’t have an interest in Aurora he didn’t care whether it succeeded. Tracy told Lulu as the majority shareholder hired Lulu and gave her double the salary of the previous assistant. Kai sadly told Trina his orthopedist told him his days of playing football were over. Carly vowed she’d get in to see her son whether they liked it or not. Josslyn came to Turning Woods and said she had some free time in her class schedule and wanted to use it to volunteer. She was told there was an available slot that was hers if she wanted.
