Dante shows up at his dad’s place because he doesn’t know who else to talk to. Sonny asks if this has to do with Lulu

waking up. Dante says he’s trying to figure out what life looks like with Sam gone and Lulu back. He knows his dad is the

king of blended families, so how does he help keep Rocco, Danny, and Scout stay together when Danny and Scout are

mourning their mom and Rocco has his back?

Dante explains Rocco fears Danny might resent him for having his mom back, and Lulu will likely be at the Quartermaine’s a lot to spend time with Rocco. He says it feels wrong to be happy when Sam is gone. Sonny tells his son that joy and grief can co-exist, and he has to let himself and those kids feel both. Dante thanks his dad, joking he’s not bad at giving advice.

Isiah drops by Jordan’s office, and he has the contract from GH in his hands. He lets Jordan know he accepted the offer and will be sticking around. Jordan can’t let him sign that contract until she reviews the offer. She knows a lot about contracts and has access to a lot of information, including that the hospital will be coming into a lot of money with a new expansion next year, so they can afford to offer a lot to keep a surgeon like him. He asks why she’s helping him. She likes the idea of him sticking around, and she owes him one.

He’s confused as she saved his life, so doesn’t he owe her? Jordan explains the life he saved in the OR, Lulu, is the ex-wife of one of her former detectives. As they review his contract, Isaiah feels it’s wrong to ask for more money to help people when health coverage should be free. Jordan says being a doctor is also a job, one he does well, so he should be compensated. She knows he lived in Africa, but now that he’s back in the States, he’ll need some amenities. They joke about the car he’s likely to pick out, which she deduces will be a suped-up truck. He laughs as she’s correct. That is the kind of car he’d pick out. He thanks her and asks her out to dinner as a friend, as he hears that’s what friends do. She suggests maybe they could try that… as friends.

Kristina stops in to see Natalia at the Deception office. Kristina knows Natalia perjured herself and thanks her for what she did. Natalia says she just testified to what she recalled, and she’s welcomed. Kristina is just worried, as Natalia painted a different scenario about their accident, so what if she does not remember what happened in Ava’s suite? What if Ava is telling the truth? She believes Ava pushed her, but what if she remembers wrong? Natalia says Sonny tells her Ava is a liar, and Kristina agrees. Natalia also knows this all started because of what she said to Ava, and she recorded it. She’ll be sorry for what she said until the day she dies. She can’t take back those words, but she’s not that person anymore. All she can do is grow and be better.

Kristina understands, as she would give anything to go back and stop herself from seeing Ava that day. She was starting to think of that baby as hers, hers and Ali’s. They were starting to envision a life together. Natalia would have loved to have had a granddaughter. They’re interrupted when Kristina gets a call. The jury is back.

Curtis stops by TJ’s place because TJ needed to talk. Curtis asks what is up? TJ invites him in, and it’s clear that Molly’s moved out. Curtis asks if she said anything to him. TJ says only that she’s staying with her mom. Curtis says they are both grieving differently. TJ lashes out that Molly isn’t grieving at all. He says she mourned Irene at the cemetery and moved on, and now she’s packed up her things and moved on from their life together.

Curtis says the way he feels, this anger, it is normal. In time, he’ll remember who Molly is. TJ knows who Molly is, and she’s been his whole world for so long. Curtis tells him to look at him and Jordan and how they’ve been able to become friends. That could be him and Molly one day. Or, perhaps, they’ll get back together. TJ doesn’t see that happening. Curtis says he doesn’t want to see TJ box himself in. TJ understands.

Curtis suggests they move some things around this apartment and change things up, which is what they do. As they are moving furniture, they come across one of Molly’s diaries.

At Alexis’ home, Molly brings her boxes in, and Alexis suggests she take a breather. Molly just wants to get this done. Alexis knows she’s grieving and she needs to take a break, but Molly thinks she’ll fall apart if she stops moving. Alexis says she’s here to support her, and none of this is Molly’s fault. Molly doesn’t know if she believes it. She believes it is her fault for not stopping Kristina from going to see Ava. Also, she was arguing with Kristina before Sam died, and she believes that how she ignored and treated TJ led to their break-up.

Alexis tells Molly there was no way she could stop Kristina from going to see Ava, so that isn’t her fault. She also knows her last words to Sam weren’t what she wanted them to be, and both Kristina and her will share that regret. She also knows Kristina holds a lot of blame for the rift between them and feels bad about it. When she asks her to make peace with Kristina, it is not her saying Kristina is right. Molly understands. As for TJ, Alexis says she knows she spent a lot of years with TJ, but it takes two to end a relationship. Molly admits she wants TJ to be happy, and she wants to be happy, too, but she doesn’t know what that looks like. Alexis assures her daughter that she will get there.

They are interrupted when there is a knock at the door. It’s TJ, who is returning her diary. He says he didn’t read it, and she knows that’s not who he is. He’s glad she still knows him. They both tell one another they’ll always love the other. TJ tells her to take care, and he departs. Molly breaks down, and Alexis comforts her.

Jason arrives at Brennan’s office, and Brennan hopes he’s here to accept his offer. Jason came because Lulu has woken up, and Charlotte needed to come home. Brennan says he doesn’t know where Valentin is, but Jason knows he’s lying. He says the Spencers will do whatever it takes to bring Charlotte home, and he knows if Anna finds Valentin, it won’t end well for Valentin or him. Jason says if Brennan tells him where to find Valentin, then he’ll bring Charlotte home and let Valentin go.

Brennan’s assistant interrupts and Jason tells Brennan to think about his offer. He leaves, and the assistant, Collette, asks if Jack got anything out of Jason. Brennan says he did, and he just has to figure out how to use it.

At Anna’s place, she’s working with Spinelli to try to find Charlotte and bring her home. Carly arrives, having been called by Anna. Carly wonders why she’s there and why Spinelli is there as well. Anna says they need to bring Charlotte home, so Carly offers to help in any way she can. Anna needs her to plant a bug on Brennan.

Carly calls Anna crazy and asks why she thinks Jack knows where Valentin is. Spinelli explains he’s been searching for Valentin, and it’s as if he disappeared in thin air. Anna believes Jack is hiding Valentin, which benefits him and the WSB in return, given they were all involved with Pikeman. Carly calls Jack a friend who helped them out more than once. Anna says Jack can be helpful, but favors are his currency. Carly offers to do it, and Anna gives her the bug. Carly is only doing this to prove Anna wrong.

Carly arrives at Jack’s office to see him, only to meet Collette, who explains Jack is finishing up a meeting. Jack returns and asks Collette for a moment alone with Miss Spencer. Collette leaves, and Jack asks to what he owes this visit. She wants to talk about her cousin Lulu. He assumes she’s here to ask what Jason did, and his answer is the same, he doesn’t know where Valetin is.

Carly opens up that she and Lulu weren’t close when the explosion happened that put her into the coma. He assumes that she’s trying to make it up to her now. Carly is sorry for asking so much of him, and tells him she appreciates him, and that he’s a good man. She leaves, and Jack mutters, “If only I was as good as you believe.”

Collette returns and reminds Jack that his duty is to the WSB, not the citizens of Port Charles. She warns him using his powers for personal gain is the quickest way to get burned. She leaves hi, and Brennan makes a call

Jason arrives to see Anna at her place and tells him about the deal he offered Jack. Spinelli walks in and tells Anna everything is a go. Jason wonders why Spinelli is there, and Anna reveals he’s helping her, as is Carly, who is planting a bug in Brennan’s office. Jason doesn’t like that Anna’s thrown Carly into this situation, but Anna says nobody throws Carly into anything. Spinelli interrupts and says they are all on the same side, and that is to bring Charlotte home. Jason says Carly thinks she can trust Brennan, and they know that isn’t true. What happens when Brennan finds the bug and realizes Carly planted it?

Carly returns, and she finds Jason there. Jason wants Carly to stay away from Jack, and Anna explains Jason isn’t happy that she had her plant a bug. Carly tells them to relax as she found the perfect place to plant the bug, but Jason says the WSB sweeps their offices routinely and it will be found. Carly asks Anna if this is true, and Anna confirms it. Carly is upset Anna didn’t tell her. Jason warns Carly that Brennan is the type of person who can find anything on anyone, and they don’t need him finding out they planted a bug in his office.

Spinelli interrupts them and tells them that Brennan is making a call. They listen in as Brennan tells Valentin, who we don’t see, “Lulu is awake, and he’s been offered a way to bring Charlotte home, so what does he want to do?”

Next on General Hospital, the jury returns with a verdict in Ava’s case, and Lois has to deal with another angry caller while appearing on Home & Heart.
