THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Elizabeth presented Anna with evidence implicating Cyrus in multiple deaths, prompting Anna to consider obtaining a warrant for his arrest. Meanwhile, Cyrus prepared syringes filled with Digitalis and learned that Elizabeth was at home. At the police station, Sasha kissed Jason to support their fabricated story about him being her baby’s father, a gesture witnessed by Mac, who was visibly upset. Carly and Sonny discussed Jason and Sasha’s situation, with Sonny advising Carly to stay out of it. Later, Elizabeth was confronted by Cyrus at her home, leading to a tense encounter. Elsewhere, Jack visited Carly, assisting her with a plumbing issue and sharing personal anecdotes about his family background. At The Savoy, Spinelli’s attempt to set up Lucas on a blind date was unsuccessful, while Trina and Kai enjoyed their first date, during which Trina revealed her father’s ownership of the venue. Anna implored Jason not to take lethal action against Cyrus, but Jason remained noncommittal. The episode concluded with Cyrus confronting Elizabeth at her residence. ​

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Knock on door ] Sonny: Carly? Yeah, it’s open! Hey. Hey. Sorry to barge in. Uh, you got a second? Yeah. Donna, Avery, and I are getting ready to make some Valentine’s Day cookies. There’s gonna be a few with your name on them. Oh, that’s — Last year, the cookies had sprinkles all over them. They did, they did. The girls definitely come from the “more is better” school of decorating. What’s going on? Is everything okay? Uh, yeah. Ava and I settled the custody fight over Avery. 50/50 split. Whose idea was shared custody? Mine. Really? Look, Ric was gonna come at me on the stand, and, you know, Ava, she knew she couldn’t get a better deal, so she agreed. So that’s it? It’s over? Diane was finishing up the paperwork last night. Okay, great. Are you now gonna tell me what’s really going on? ♪♪ ♪♪ [ Door opening ] Hey. Josslyn: Hi. Did we need all those groceries? Well, we really didn’t need anything. I just thought it would be fun if we cooked some food together. Oh, that’s right, just like we did that one time. When was it? Never. Well, I just thought it’d be fun. Look, if you lost your phone again, we can order online. I didn’t lose my phone, I just — I thought we could, like, make some pasta with a side salad and some garlic bread. Well, did you get anything to make dessert? We are not professional chefs. We’re going to be lucky if we can pull off pasta. Yes, that’s true. It sounds delicious, but I have a question. Why? Well — [ Cellphone chimes ] Hmm. “Hmm” what? It’s Kai. He just asked if I was free tonight. Oh. Hey. Curtis, thank you so much for agreeing to meet with me. Well, I would never turn down a request to see Mayor Collins. And I’m definitely not gonna turn down an opportunity to see my friend Laura Collins. Oh. I appreciate it, I really do. Well, I certainly appreciate being a part of any discussion involving the McConkey Esplanade. I seriously thought the deal was dead after the environmental impact statement said that the piers we wanted to develop were off limits. Yeah. Well, like I said, Drew has some kind of a plan that he wants to run by me, and I agreed to listen. Yeah, well, I have to admit my day would be a whole lot better without Drew Quartermaine in it. Oh. Oh, dear. Uh, well, if you changed your mind, and you want to go, I certainly would understand. I know you would. Um, I’m guessing you invited me to sit in for a reason. I did. A selfish one. [ Laughs ] I know you’re a really good businessman. I would like your opinion. Then I’ll promise not to pull any punches. Okay, great. Because Drew wants to invoke eminent domain to seize piers 55 and 56 for the Esplanade. Wait. If memory serves me correctly, those piers belong to Sonny. Yes, they do, indeed. So Corinthos Coffee would have to relocate. I mean, he would get compensated for that, but still. Sonny’s been operating at that location for years. Yeah. This would be a huge blow to his business. And I can’t help but feel that that’s what Drew really wants. I feel like he’s using this, this Esplanade plan, for a way to retaliate against Jason through Sonny. Willow, thank you for addressing Mrs. Silva’s numerous concerns. She was a little tough at first, but she was fine by the time I left. Oh, no, she was more than fine. She was all smiles, which is rarely the case for Mrs. Silva. I gathered that. Well, she couldn’t stop going on and on about what a fabulous nurse you are. And I have to say, I agreed. Thank you. I’m just happy I could help. And it was a relief having someone who wasn’t second guessing my every move. I am so sorry. I don’t know why I just dumped all that on you. It was beyond inappropriate. No, not to me. I often use work as an escape myself. It feels like the only refuge I have. I can focus on work and nothing else. And now that the kids and I have moved out of the gatehouse and back in with Nina, maybe things will finally settle down a little. ♪♪ Got a minute? For you? Of course. Anna, with all due respect — God. That’s never a good way to start. Look, I’m sorry, but, uh, Jason Morgan is sitting in an interrogation room downstairs. I’d love to know why. Making a death threat is still a Class D Felony. I’m aware. But I looked over the witness statements, and Jason never touched Cyrus. In fact, witnesses state that Cyrus grabbed Jason’s son, Danny Morgan, a minor child. I mean, that appears to be true. Yeah. So your case against Jason is pretty flimsy. The D.A. won’t file this case. He won’t be going to court. I know. So why is he warming a chair in one of the interrogation rooms? Because while Jason is in that chair, he can’t kill Cyrus. ♪♪ [ Desk sergeant speaking indistinctly ] ♪♪ Um… W-What are you do– What are you doing here? I just finished my interview with the police about what happened at Charlie’s, and I thought I’d see how yours went. I-I mean, it went fine. They haven’t charged me with anything yet. Threatening Cyrus like that, I’ve never really seen you be like that before. Yeah, well, my son has never been involved before. Danny’s gonna be okay, right? Yeah. And I’m gonna make sure he stays that way. Well, you’re not gonna believe this, but Lucky and I last night may have found something that’ll help you with that. What are you talking about? ♪♪ I think we found the evidence the police need to put Cyrus away. ♪♪ ♪♪ Avery’s custody case is good news. Kristina doesn’t have to testify against me. And Avery doesn’t have to feel any tension between me and her mother. Okay, great, I guess. So what’s the problem? There’s no problem, Sonny. I just know you, okay? Okay. You don’t change your mind about things like this. And you hate Ava. I haven’t changed my mind about that. Something’s changed. For months, you were dead set on sole custody, and now you’re okay with a 50/50 arrangement? Come on. Carly, after the fire, Diane said to me, “You need to be clear you’re not gonna get sole custody. Ric is going to do this whole big show about how dangerous your life is.” This is the best thing for everybody. I see your point. And the biggest thing — Avery misses her mother. I get it. That’s still not why you did it. Drew’s proposal to relocate the piers will not only put the Esplanade further away from the city center, it’s gonna increase the need for public transportation, and that will increase the city’s expenditures. Ah. Right. Right. And Sonny will undoubtedly sue. So that will make the city’s legal fees go way up. And you can count on Diane Miller filing a lawsuit. Yeah. You know, Laura, I think you’re right. I think Drew’s main motivation for relocating is to cause his brother problems. You know, ever since he floated the idea past me, my instinct was to say no. Drew and I have been friends for a long time, so it’s hard to miss how much he’s changed lately. Just remember, whatever Drew says, he’s only focused on himself. Yeah. I’m also really concerned about who he wants to bring in as an investor. It really makes me question his judgment. Who does he want to bring in? Jenz Sidwell. That’s the man who almost killed my son. So we’re stalling. We’re giving him time to cool off. Okay. Um, if, uh, Jason did kill Cyrus, we’d all be better off. I’m gonna pretend you didn’t say that. Well, I never thought I’d say anything like that. And I don’t really mean it. But if Cyrus were gone, he couldn’t hurt anybody anymore. Jason certainly wouldn’t leave any evidence. But we couldn’t look the other way while our resident hitman took Cyrus out. We couldn’t. We wouldn’t. No, I would rather bring Cyrus to justice than know that Jason killed him. I agree, but we still don’t have anything that directly connects Cyrus to the digitalis murders. I know. But we’re getting closer. I feel it. I’m gonna take everything that we have learned about Cyrus’ connections to the digitalis murders, and I’m gonna lay it all out in front of Anna. That sounds great. And then Anna is going to arrest Cyrus, and all you’re going to have to focus on is Danny. He’s still struggling with his mom’s death. Yeah, I know. I’m gonna help him through it. I mean, did you and Lucky figure out how Cyrus chose his victims? I mean, why — why, Sam? No, we don’t know what his motives are yet. But I do know that he’s not going to stop killing until somebody stops him. I think you’re right about that. I’m just not sure the PCPD is up to the job. [ Sighs ] “There are many devices in a man’s heart; nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand.” Thy will be done. So Kai wants to hang out with you tonight? Yeah, but I’m gonna tell him I can’t because we already made plans. No! We made those plans five minutes ago. What is going on? And don’t give me your “cooking together” story. We’re terrible cooks, and you know it. We could get better. We won’t. Okay. What’s the real story? It’s Valentine’s Day. And it’s your first one without Dex. I miss Spencer all the time, especially on days like this. I know you must be missing Dex. Missing Dex is constant. I know. It’s like breathing. That’s why I’m saying that maybe we should, like, hang out and — and watch a movie or cook something. I love you, and I appreciate you thinking about me. But you have plans with Mr. QB1, who, if I’m not mistaken, has been added to your list of favorite people. Okay, it’s not like that. Really? Does he know it’s not like that? Because he definitely wants it to be like that. I — And you like him. No — No — I know, but it’s just — No! It’s time! Time for what? Time for you to get back out there. I just told you why I made a deal with Ava, and you act like I’m not telling you the truth, like, you know, you know me better than I know myself. [ Chuckling ] I didn’t say that. Well — And I do know you. I just think there’s a reason behind your reason. I think you’re worried about something. But if I’m wrong, I’m wrong. Carly, someone planted a bomb in my penthouse, and I need everyone to find out who did it. And I can’t — I can’t, you know, protect the family if I don’t know where the threat’s coming from. I understand. I also want to help Michael, right, when he comes home. Michael’s gonna have a tough recovery. Yeah. I mean, I know I got a lot on my mind and everything. But I was right about Avery. You’re right. You’re right. I’m sorry. I just never thought I’d see you compromise with Ava. Well, Ava is Avery’s mother. And maybe it doesn’t matter to me, but it’s gonna matter to Avery when she gets older. Who you are, where you come from, that matters. Since we’re on the subject, sort of, um, have you talked to Jason lately? I talk to him all the time. Has he mentioned Sasha? Why would Jason mention, uh, Brando’s wife? Sasha. Hey. How’s my newest niece? So far, so good. Fantastic. I was hoping to hear that. Listen, I want to apologize about Cody’s reaction to your pregnancy. He shouldn’t have made your private business public. Maybe spending all that time with the Quartermaines is rubbing off on him. But to be fair, Drew is the one who announced it to everyone at the Metro Court. Well, listen, if there’s anything you ever need or want, we’re family. We look out for each other. You got it? Got it. Believe it or not, Felicia has made that very clear. [ Chuckles ] Good. Good. So, what brings you by the station? I mean, we don’t get a lot of casual walk-ins. I’m here to see Jason. Willow, Willow, Willow, shh — Can we please talk about this some other time? This is my workplace. I’m actually working. Okay, okay. Look, I’m sorry. I wish I didn’t have to do this, but we really need to go over a couple things. What’s happening? Well, my — our P.I., Elaine Stevens, is — Well, she’s been taken out of commission. She was working on an important lead, and there was an incident with her dog, and won’t be able to tail anybody for a week. No pun intended. Is she okay? Yeah, she’s fine. Everything’s fine, except our case for sole custody. Are you saying I’m going to lose? I’m not saying anything to the sort. Look, Elaine is not out of the game. She is working on an in with the Quartermaine staff. Because the simple, cold, hard fact is, I still need dirt on Michael just in case we need to use it. I told you it wouldn’t be easy to find. Well, don’t gloat, alright? You did tell me, but, you know, I didn’t want to think that you would be right. I don’t want to have to use dirt against him. Michael and I don’t hate each other. We didn’t work out because we never shared our underlying problems. We were so busy protecting each other that we never actually dealt with each other. And the infidelity didn’t help. Once I took a step back, I could see how certain factors in my relationship with Michael opened the door for me to do something like that. Good, because most people would just blame the other person and leave it at that. I am not blaming Michael, and I don’t want to hurt him, and I don’t think he wants to hurt me. Okay, fine. But I still need some kind of leverage when I go into those custody negotiations. The issue is our kids, and I do not want Michael cut out of their lives. We should be able to come to an agreement on that. Um, with all due respect, that’s just not the way that divorce works. Drew’s okay working with someone who almost killed Lucky? It seems that way. But it could also be that Sidwell just comes off as a very legitimate businessman on paper. Have you talked to Jordan about it? Not yet, no, but she’s coming to this meeting, though. Well, the reason I ask is because I saw Sidwell with Jordan at Cafe Cherie the other day. It seemed like she was buying whatever he was pitching. Really? Hi. Am I late? Uh, no, no, not at all. I was just bringing Curtis up to speed on Drew’s plan. But he tells me that you have already met with Drew’s potential investor. Uh, yeah. Jenz Sidwell approached me with his, “Port Charles is my new home base, and I only want to help the city” spiel. How convincing was that? Oh, just practiced. Now, it’s unlikely but possible that Sidwell’s business in Port Charles is completely legitimate. Unlike his business in Somalia. Exactly. Now, we do need more info on Sidwell before you make any decisions about the Esplanade. Agreed. And I’m pretty sure I can get some more information out of Sidwell without him knowing I’m investigating him. Jordan, you’re not a cop anymore. I’m not sure this is your best idea. Excuse me. [ Telephone beeping ] Yeah. Send him in. Drew’s here. ♪♪ I can tell by looking this is gonna be a tough room. ♪♪ Anna: Please come on in. Thank you. What is it that I can do for you? Well, I know the PCPD is investigating Cyrus Renault for the digitalis murders at G.H. And, well, Lucky and I have been talking, and we believe that Cyrus has killed at least five people. At G.H.? Three at G.H. and two at Turning Woods. So last night, Lucky and I just happened to be in his neighborhood — Lucky is aware that he’s no longer a police officer, yeah? Yeah, he — he is. Okay. And that’s why I’m coming to you with our suspicions. Along with enough evidence to put Cyrus away. I got into it with Drew at the Metro Court, and he accused Jason of being the father of Sasha’s baby. Is that why you’re asking about Jason mentioning Sasha? Because you think — What, you believe Drew? I don’t know. I mean, I didn’t believe him at first because Drew was really mad at me, and I know he would say anything to get at me, but the more I think about it — You think it’s true? I don’t know. Jason and Sasha both live at the Quartermaines. Right. And Jason is the one who rescued Sasha when she was kidnapped by Sidwell. So it’s not inconceivable that they would get closer. What did Jason say? Well, I haven’t been able to talk to Jason privately. And the only thing Sasha will say is that it’s no one’s business. She’s right. I know she’s right. I-I just — If Jason is helping Sasha the way he helped me when I was pregnant with Michael… I need to call him. Or you can wait for Jason to call us. But maybe we can make peace. I mean, I worked with Carly and Sonny to get Michael to Germany. I moved out of the gatehouse so that Tracy didn’t have to see me and Drew all the time. [ Cellphone rings ] [ Sighs ] Hi, Mindy. No, no, no, it’s okay. They what? Uh, no. No, thank you for calling. What is it? My car was impounded. So, moving the Esplanade project to piers 55 and 56 is not ideal, but it would be a huge moneymaker for Port Charles and for Aurora. Well, you’ve given me an awful lot to think about. Well, let me give you a little bit more, then. There’s matching federal funding available that would cut the total cost of this project in half. Well, that’s certainly something for the plus column. Yeah. Thought you might say that. I should also say that I have championed this project from the very beginning, so I could see how letting it die might be a great way to stick it to me. Personal relationships should have nothing to do with this. Well, good. I mean, it really comes down to priorities then, right? If the priority is what’s best for the city, then, yeah, you move the Esplanade project to Sonny’s piers. But if the priority is keeping Sonny Corinthos happy, then you just let everything stay the way it is, and the project will die in committee. And you’d let that happen? Well, if you think that letting Sonny use those piers for criminal activity is more beneficial than the revenue that the Esplanade and the businesses would bring in, yes, I would. So it’s up to you. What’s better for Port Charles? About the same time that G.H. became aware of the three deaths caused by digitalis, Lucky’s sister woke up at Turning Woods. Okay. So Lucky and I spoke to the staff there the night she disappeared. And it turns out that not only was Cyrus a frequent visitor of Lulu’s, he misrepresented himself as her medical proxy. Are you certain of that? Yes. Apparently, he’s been volunteering at G.H. and Turning Woods ever since he got out of prison. He says he’s doing it on behalf of Port Charles Redemption Mission. But I don’t know. Lucky and I think it’s the perfect cover. It’s an easy way in for him. Yeah, it’s definitely convenient. Yeah. And we also found out that he had been visiting two other patients at Turning Woods. One of them was diagnosed with late-stage dementia, and the other one was comatose. Both patients died of an unexpected heart attack. Now, we can’t prove that digitalis was involved. But you have the authority to exhume the exhume the bodies and see if it was. Do you have any evidence that places Cyrus in close proximity to these victims at the time of their death? No. But we did find something else. ♪♪ You have a visitor. Treat her with respect, or you’ll answer to me. Thank you, Mac. I’ll be fine. You better be. Hey. What are you doing here? Is it Danny? No, no. Danny’s fine. He took the news of your arrest in stride. Okay, good. Well, Diane’s working on getting me out of here. They can hold me up to 48 hours without charging me, but I’m guessing they’re gonna charge me. What happens if they charge you? Well, Diane gets me out. Anna knows her case isn’t strong enough to hold me. She’s just trying to keep me away from Cyrus. So you don’t kill him? Great. Well, um, I’m sorry to be the bearer of more bad news, but I think Willow suspects Michael is the father of my baby. I’m not saying you should elope with Kai. I’m saying that you should respond to the text, see what he has planned for you tonight. Fine. Oh, my gosh. Ah! “No. What’s up?” Happy? Deliriously. [ Cellphone chimes ] “I just got reservations at the hottest club in town. Feel like a night out?” [ Gasps ] Now you respond, and you say, “Yes. When? Where?” Okay, would you like to do the texting? Yes. Ugh, never mind. Okay. I said yes. [ Gasps ] [ Cellphone chimes ] “Meet me at The Savoy in an hour. Dress to impress.” [ Chuckles ] The Savoy. Nice work, QB1. Okay, but I don’t — I don’t feel comfortable leaving you alone. Don’t feel bad for me. I could use some time alone. Start filling this out. After that, you go to the impound lot, pay the fine, you’ll get your car back. Oh, of course I have to pay for it. Not Tracy, me. I cannot believe this. Where is the impound lot? Uh, something wrong? Tracy Quartermaine had my car towed. It’s my personal property. She had it towed. I got this. Take a deep breath. Let me see if I can help you. I drive a minivan because of the kids. I kept my car, the one I bought before I married Michael, in the Quartermaine garage. I’m with you so far. Mindy, she works for the Quartermaines, called to tell me that my car had been moved from the garage to the street, and then I got towed. I just know that Tracy’s the one responsible. It’s a good guess. So now you’re stuck without transportation? I still have the minivan. I know I sound ridiculous. I don’t even need the car, but it’s a hybrid, and it means something to me. Well, just putting the car on the street is a violation of your trust. And the Quartermaines think I violated Michael’s trust and their trust, and it just keeps going and going. I am starting to see just how much I lost when I became a part of Michael’s family. There’s always a compromise. Well, I’m done making them. I am not gonna let the Quartermaines take what is mine. Elaine could have been hurt after I let Mavis off her leash. I feel terrible. She wasn’t hurt. And she’s a P.I. who you managed to slow down, and that’s a good thing. Before I knew that, she asked when I was due, and I just spit out the answer without thinking. I’m sure Willow’s lawyers can do the math and figure out that my baby was conceived right around the time Michael found out about Willow and Drew. Yeah, I mean, if Willow does find out that Michael was unfaithful with you and that’s his baby, it’ll cost him his kids. [ Sighs ] This is why I did not want people to know who the father is. The Quartermaines won’t hesitate to use a child as leverage to get whatever they want. I’m sorry. I know they’re your family, too. Doesn’t mean I don’t know who they are and what they’re capable of. I don’t want my child raised in that kind of environment. I don’t blame you. So what do you need? You’ve already done so much for me. Just go ahead. Tell me. The P.I. has been neutralized, as of now, anyway. And there’s nothing I can do about the fact that my baby was conceived when Michael’s marriage blew up. Still doesn’t prove anything if it was. I know, but, uh, our strategy of letting people draw their own conclusions about the father’s identity, it’s not gonna be enough. So… you want me to come right out and say that your baby is mine? Your proposal sounds reasonable. But I know from experience that what you propose and what you really want are often two different things. And dislocating Corinthos Coffee, which is a legitimate business, could cost jobs. And Sonny’s legal challenges could leave this project tangled up for years. And why would the city or Aurora or the mayor get caught up in your vendetta against Jason? If I weren’t involved and those piers didn’t belong to Sonny Corinthos, would we even be having this conversation? Or would you agree that the potential benefits are worth the risk? If the answer’s yes, well, then you know what you have to do. ♪♪ Thank you for your time, Madam Mayor. ♪♪ Anna: How did you and Lucky come to be in possession of these items? Well, we knew we couldn’t search Cyrus’ place. Well, that’s something, I suppose. So we did the next best thing. We went through his trash. Where? In his Dumpster. Oh, God. Dumpster diving I was waist deep in Cyrus’ trash. That’s definitely commitment. But we did find something. Yeah. Appears you did. Somebody ordered a box of syringes. A “Paul Damascus.” It’s a biblical reference. Paul was struck down on his way to Damascus. I-It makes complete sense that Cyrus would use that as his alias. Okay. What do you think was in the second box? I’m guessing it was digitalis. Sam’s death was the only one where digitalis was actually missing from the drug cabinet at work. Since then, we’ve enacted some pretty heavy duty security protocols, which means Cyrus would have to bring his own digitalis for when he killed Dex and tried to kill Michael. Yes, but guesses and suppositions don’t actually build a case. Right, and it’s too bad that we couldn’t find an invoice for that second box, but… couldn’t you use that one to figure out exactly what was ordered and by whom? ♪♪ [ Sighs ] ♪♪ ♪♪ Are you sure? Trina, a great guy wants to take you to the hottest club in town. You should be out the door by now. And I have to study. I’ve been putting it off. Okay, but, I mean, we could still make dinner. It’s just that you don’t want to make dinner. No, I don’t want to make dinner. I want to order in, and that’s what I’m going to do. Does Kai know that your dad owns The Savoy? [ Chuckles ] Apparently not. Well, are you gonna tell him? [ Laughs ] We’ll see. Why do you need to know if Jason’s having a baby with Sasha? Because I’m curious, that’s why. If it’s true, I want to be able to support Jason. But if it’s not true, and Jason feels like he can’t deny it, then I need to know what’s going on so I can back him up. Well, maybe — maybe Sasha doesn’t want you to know that she’s having a baby with Jason. As far as I know, they — they’re not dating. Oh, you think they had a one-night stand? That happens. I know that. And also, maybe she’s — she doesn’t want Jason’s enemies to know that he has a baby that matters to him. Oh. She lost Brando and Liam. Okay. Yeah. Right. So we know that, you know, whatever she needs, Jason will — will honor that. So the best thing for us to do… is stay out of it. I have to say that you’re very good as an amateur detective. Well, Lucky he knew what he was doing. Yeah, he did. But there’s no, um, chain of evidence, you know? We can’t really link Cyrus’ name to anything. Can’t you just dust the invoice for prints o-or something? Or — Or make the syringe company tell you how Paul Damascus paid for the order and then trace Paul to Cyrus? Yeah. I’ll make some calls, yeah. No, Anna, you have to do more than that. Cyrus will kill somebody else, and you have to stop him. ♪♪ ♪♪ I’ll be right back. What are you gonna do? I’m gonna see if there is a way that I can arrest Cyrus, put an end to all of this. Would you mind waiting, “Detective” Baldwin? Not at all. You know, it would be easier to make this decision if I didn’t have to consider Sonny’s influence on this city. Good and bad. Do you think the Esplanade is really good for Port Charles, or is it just bad for Sonny? I’d say both. So what are you gonna do? You and I both know that if we need to know something, Jason’s gonna tell us. Eventually, yeah. Okay, so let’s back off this baby thing. He’s Danny’s only parent, and he’s got a lot of responsibility right now. I know that. And I know how private Jason is. Fine. I will wait for Jason to tell me about Sasha and the baby, okay? Are you happy? I’m not unhappy. And I’ll do the — I’m gonna wait. You better. That’s only fair. [ Laughs ] Alright. Uh, I gotta go. Okay, wait, wait. The girls made you Valentine’s Day cards. Oh, I thought you were — they were baking cookies. They are, but they’re also making cards. They’re very industrious. Look at the heart. I know. [ Laughs ] They worked on that. Alright. Happy Valentine’s Day. Happy Valentine’s Day. ♪♪ Okay, Joss, I’m leaving. Josslyn: Have so much fun! Thank you! ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ [ Line ringing, telephone rings ] 10th floor, nurses’ station. May I help you? Uh, yes, hello. I was looking for Nurse Baldwin. She took special care of my mother when she was at G.H. I-I just wanted to thank her. Oh, that’s so great to hear. There’s a reason Nurse Baldwin is Head Nurse. But she’s gone for the day. Can I leave her a message? That won’t be necessary. I’m — I’m sure I’ll run into her later. Thank you so much. ♪♪ ♪♪ Felicia: Oh, those are gorgeous. Are those for Willow? They are, yeah. Of course, she deserves a lot more than just this. Do you mind pointing me in her direction? I wish I could, but unfortunately, Willow’s not here. Call the impound lot and make sure that Willow Corinthos’ car is ready to go when she gets there. Yes, sir. Thank you for being so kind. Sure. Hi. Hey. Sorry to interrupt, Willow. Can I just please have a quick word with you? Sure. Uh, excuse me. No problem. Thank you again. Sure. If it helps protect Michael, go ahead and drop your crumbs. Thank you. ♪♪ ♪♪ Go with me on this. We may have a new lead connecting Cyrus to the G.H. murders. Then let’s move on it. Alright. No, no, no, no, no.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Knocking ] Sonny: Ava. Open up. We need to talk. Now. Of all people… what is he doing? I don’t know, but — but pull it together, okay? He can’t know about us. No, no, not if I want to keep you as my lawyer and have any chance at winning my custody case. No, I know. Ava. ‘Cause I’m not gonna leave until you open up. Sasha: I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry about this, I truly am. I needed to look in Elaine’s bag. I didn’t want anyone to get hurt, I promise. [ Exhales sharply ] I’m so sorry about all of this. [ Barks ] No. There are no ego issues. Yes, he is very hot. And kind and sweet. Sure. I will see if he’s available. [ Sighs ] I’m gonna have to call you back. Bye. [ Sighs ] Sorry. Um, are you ready for the meeting? I am. Natalia’s finishing up a phone call outside, Lucy’s on her way up, but guess who isn’t ready. I don’t want to. Maxie. Lulu isn’t ready. No, she isn’t. She’s late again. ♪♪ Oh, uh, we’re closed. Hi, Kristina. Oh. Uh, hi, Lulu. Lucky mentioned you were working today. I hope it’s okay I dropped by. This place looks amazing. Thank you. Thanks. Yeah. Um, you — you look great, too, by the way. Uh, a-and it’s so good to see you. You, too. I — I would have come by sooner. I’ve just been… working up the nerve. Sure. I’ve been trying to figure out the kindest, best possible way to thank you and… ♪♪ …to say I’m sorry. Your sister saved my life at the cost of her own. Cody: Let me get this straight. You’re telling me… that w-we’re trapped on a roof freezing our butts off, Tracy’s probably getting ready to fire me… because of some documents? Some papers with words on them that you’re not supposed to have? [ Exhales sharply ] Oh, boy. You know, they’re probably gonna bring back the electric chair just for you. Okay, it’s not just paperwork. Okay? It’s a murder victim’s autopsy. My sister’s, okay? You happy now? ♪♪ What are you doing here? I’d like a moment alone with my client. Without the handcuffs, please. ♪♪ Okay, okay. Sit. [ Sighs ] Where’s Diane? I lied. I’m not here as your lawyer. I’m here as Sam’s mother. ♪♪ What do you want, Sonny? Ric and I are in a meeting. Can I come in? Sonny, whatever you have to say can wait for the courtroom. [ Chuckles ] I’ve, uh — I’ve come here to, uh… ♪♪ …make you an offer concerning Avery. ♪♪ You deal with it now… or you lose in court. It’s up to you. ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ Oh, my God. Are you okay? One can only hope. It’s just… the pain… Oh, that… that car just came speeding out of nowhere. I mean, I could have been roadkill. Well, thank God you’re not. Yeah. And other than missing you, Mavis is fine. Well, you don’t know her. I mean, she’s hiding it really well, but I can tell she’s traumatized. Maybe all Lulu needs is a little adjustment period. It’s not easy to get on top of the Deception schedule. Quick question, Maxie. Are you going to defend Lulu forever, or do you need a little adjustment period, too? If you have a problem with Lulu, take it up with Lulu. [ Exhales sharply ] Afternoon, ladies. Did you get my report on the trip to LA? Yes. So many West Coasters are about to fall in love with Deception. And our new overnight rejuvenating cream. If we ever get it out. Production and marketing cost money. So does this super rare mineral that’s in it. Zincite. It is rare, and we need a lot of it to mass produce our cream. [ Chuckles ] Never fear. That pesky problem has been solved thanks to none other than yours truly. ♪♪ And when did you find the tick? 5 hours and, uh, 23 minutes ago. That’s…very precise. [ Chuckles ] As was the job you did removing it. You got the whole thing out clean. Yeah, well, when you travel to the remote areas I do, your survival hinges on diligence and expertise in many areas. Well, those qualities served you well here. Agreed. And I haven’t experienced any body, muscle, or joint aches. Good. Uh, how about chills? Headaches? Mnh-mnh. Fever? Fatigue? No. And I’ve taken my temperature every 10 minutes since I discovered the tick. Very…vigilant. [ Both chuckle ] I presume you’ll test for Lyme disease. Oh, absolutely. But I think it’s highly unlikely that you contracted the bacteria that causes Lyme disease in such short a window. But I’ll prescribe an antibiotic just to be on the safe side. Oh, good. Good. Any other preventative measures? Um…don’t walk through tall grasses? [ Chuckles ] Even though it’s winter, the ticks are still out there. Sadly, my property is full of tall grasses. I’d have it sprayed, but Spoon Island is larger than it looks. You live at Wyndemere? I am just getting settled. Are you familiar with the property? I lived there as a child. It’s been in and out of the family for years. Ah! This little now-or-never, take-it-or-leave-it offer is just one of Sonny’s intimidation tactics, Ava. Don’t fall for it. Ric… I’m talking to Ava. Sonny took the timet to come all the way over here. I would like to hear what he has to say. Listening to him is a mistake, Ava. Alright, Ava. You know I don’t trust you, and I never will. The feeling is very mutual. But as far as, uh, Avery, we put our differences aside. I know how much you love her. She’s everything. And you would do anything that you can to make sure she doesn’t get hurt, right? [ Scoffs ] Of course. I would die for her. And, yeah, so would I. ♪♪ So, um… I know that she misses you. She needs her parents, so I’m willing to make an offer of I’m gonna abide to the original agreement of shared custody. But this — this fighting has to end today. If you think that this little visit of yours is supposed to make us think that you’re some nice, reasonable guy all of a sudden, it doesn’t. You know what it does make me think, though? It makes us think that you know that Ava’s case is a lot better than you’d like it to be. You know we’ve got a real legit shot at full custody. Not even close. No, no, we can do much better. Ava, send him packing. Take Sonny to court. You do that… Sonny will walk away with nothing. ♪♪ I think of Sam and your family when I wake up every morning. The fact that I can even do that is because of your sister. And I’ll never be able… I don’t know how you’re all getting through it. I can’t even think about your poor mom. I’m losing my mind without Charlotte. It’s hard. I pray for Sam and Charlotte every day. You do? I picture Sam as this… badass guardian angel looking down, keeping an eye on the people she loved. I would have never expected her or — That’s the thing about Sam. You know, you — you never had to. She never hesitated if she had — had the chance to help someone. She just did. And taking that chance cost her. You know, the way I see it, what happened to my sister and what she did for you, they’re completely separate. One doesn’t have anything to do with the other. That just — It’s so hard for me to reconcile that. Every day, I’m reminded about how much so many people lost when Sam died. I see it in Scout and Danny and Rocco, and — and I see it in Dante, too. I heard there was an incident at Charlie’s last night between Danny and Cyrus. Yeah, I ended the the conversation, and I got Danny home. Danny confronted Cyrus because he believed Cyrus killed his mother. Do you believe that? I do. And what makes you so sure? Anna. She’s focused on Cyrus, and I trust her instincts. And I never really believed Cyrus’s redemption act. Is Anna close to an arrest? That I don’t know. But I do know that Cyrus wouldn’t think twice about hurting Danny if he knew he could get away with it. So until Anna arrests Cyrus, I needed him to know that I wouldn’t think twice about hurting him. Why would Cyrus want to kill Sam? They barely had any interaction. I don’t know. But it’s like I told Danny. Knowing why doesn’t — It’s not going to bring Sam back. It doesn’t matter. Knowing or not knowing doesn’t really matter, does it? I mean, you want Cyrus dead, right? ♪♪ So do I. Sasha, would you mind staying with with Mavis and keeping her company while I get my prescription? I just don’t want her to be alone at a time like this. Of course. Thank you. You — You be a good girl. You be a good girl. Yes. Okay. Thank you. Of course I’m not happy. I’d say I’m sorry, but we both know how much you love my apologies. You think I want to look at this? It’s my own sister. No. No, I don’t. I mean, the only reason I even took it is because I just — I need to figure out what happened to her and find the person who did this. Please don’t hate me more than you already do. But, um, what exactly do you do you think you can do that the cops and everyone else can’t? Nothing. Sam was the P.I., not me. All I’ve managed to do by taking that file is risk my job and get us stuck on a roof where we are going to freeze to death. Whee. I don’t know what made me think this was a good idea. What is wrong with me? Absolutely nothing. Hey, when you’ve lost someone that you love, there’s no seeing it clearly. Thinking it through. I don’t care what anyone says. Yeah, this is obviously the universe’s way of telling me to stay in my lane. Or it’s the universe’s way of telling G.H.’s maintenance department that they need a new lock on that door. Or, I don’t know, maybe the universe was too busy today and took a pass on this one and there is no message. You know, it’s getting stuck up here was just an accident. But there’s no doubt that you’re being way too hard on yourself. When I wake up in the morning and I remember that my baby is dead, I am filled with so much rage that I feel like I can’t go on. And then finding out that she was murdered in the hospital, it’s just too much. It’s — It’s so wrong, it’s hard to reconcile. I mean, our girl, our beautiful generous girl was murdered after saving someone’s life. I mean, that’s just not fair. It’s not. It’s not fair. So when I lost my law license, I worked like hell to get it back because I love the law. I believe in it, and I believe that the system works. Most of the time. What about the other times? I’m not willing to take the chance that my daughter’s case will be one of those times. So I want him dead. And I want to be the one to kill him. I want my face to be the last face that he sees before he leaves this earth. Alexis. You can’t. You can’t kill Cyrus. It’s not who you are. No. But it’s who you are. I mean, everyone’s really struggling with Sam’s death right now, especially Dante. They — They really loved each other. Honestly, I’m — I’m glad Sam made him happy. That’s all I’ve ever wanted for Dante. And from what I’ve heard, not in these exact words, their love was pretty epic. Ohh. It was. Yeah, it was my favorite love story. And I’m happy to share that with you if — if you’d ever want to hear any of that. But I don’t want to cause unnecessary hurt, so… I appreciate that. But I feel like I can’t honor her properly without knowing how much everyone lost when she died. But the last thing I want to do is impose on Dante, because he can barely even say her name around me. Okay. Um, sure. Yeah. Let’s see. Where to begin. Um… Well, uh, Sam had her kids, and Dante had Rocco, but when they first met, they were essentially alone. And — And they were really hurting, which I think because they knew what the other was going through, it, I don’t know, made it hurt a little less. And they — They spent more time together and they confided in each other and they really built each other up. In the beginning they had this — this sweet, quiet love. And then eventually they figured it out. Oh, my God, I am — I’m late for a meeting. I’m — I am so sorry, I gotta run. Okay. Thanks, Kristina. Yeah. ♪♪ You are all set. The pharmacy is on the seventh floor. Well, thank you, Dr. Jones, but, um, may I ask you a personal question? It was my understanding that Wyndemere belonged to the Cassadines. How did you come to live there? My mother was married to a Cassadine. They’re longtime residents of Spoon Island. Huh. Small world. Are you liking it there? When I was a kid, the place creeped me out. Well, I’m hoping to change that. Make Wyndemere more, um, welcoming. I’m working with a local gallerist to give Wyndemere a refresh. The Jerome Gallery. And the world gets smaller yet. Ava Jerome is my aunt. She’s got a great eye. She does. And you, Dr. Jones, have an excellent bedside manner. Thank you so much for seeing me. Sonny. I’m glad you realize how much I love our daughter. And I appreciate your offer that we continue to share custody. But you have already trampled all over the custody agreement we have in place now, right? By keeping Avery away from me. So what’s to stop you from doing that again? Ric: Exactly. That’s why I’ve been telling you to fight for full custody. You know, Avery’s not even staying with Sonny. She’s staying with Carly because his penthouse got firebombed. You know it’s not any safer for Avery to be with him any more than it was his own son. Which the judge is going to know. And so do you, for that matter. I don’t know anything about that, Ric. Neither do you. But you know Ric likes to yap a lot, right? Yeah, I can do a lot more than that. Yeah, but you know what this is all about? I’ll tell you what this is all about. You want to get me on a stand so you can come at me. But the thing is, Ava, Diane’s going to come at you. Oh, no, no, no, don’t try and intimidate my client. I’m not intimidating anybody. I’m just telling the truth. Somebody has to. But this isn’t about you, me, Diane. It’s about Avery. It’s only ever been about her. And if you love her the way you say you do… …you will act in Avery’s best interest. Hello, everyone. Lucy. I hope you don’t mind me letting myself in. Schedule’s a bit tight this afternoon. Oh, no, not at all. Welcome, welcome. Um, everybody, this is Jenz Sidwell. Jenz Sidwell? I’m sorry. Have we met? No, but I’m pretty sure you know my brother — Lucky Spencer. We have to be honest with ourselves. Our little girl is not little anymore. She’s intuitive, and she can — she can feel the animosity between us. The other day, she came to me and she said, “How come you and Mom can’t be in the same room?” What did you say? Well, I didn’t know what to say because I felt bad. But, you know, I got to tell you, if this custody battle continues, it’s going to get ugly. Some court-appointed therapist is going to just keep asking our daughter questions, and she’s going to have to answer. It’s not fair, you know? Are you sure this is about Avery? It’s not about maybe protecting Kristina from testifying? Ric, please. I don’t want any of my children to be forced to testify. I will agree to 60/40. Yeah, yeah. No, no, no, no. Not 60/40. Ava, what are you doing? 50/50. Ava! ♪♪ Okay. I’ll have Diane write up the paperwork. ♪♪ ♪♪ I appreciate you not calling me a hypocrite. Especially after all the times that I’ve judged you for how you chose to live your life and the violent way that you did it. We’re different, different people. Maybe we’re not as different as I want to believe because I want retribution. Really? Really. I want it for the life that Sam would have had. I want it for her children who won’t have their mother anymore. I want it for Dante. And I want it for me. Now you understand how I feel. I do. I do. I — I want vengeance so badly that I can taste it. And if I didn’t have to think of the consequences, I would hand you the gun. Now you know how I feel. But see, I’m not going to hand you a gun. Because it doesn’t matter how I feel or what I want. It doesn’t matter what you want. The only thing that matters is what Sam wants. Yeah. She’s supposed to be here to tell us herself. Well, she’s not. So it’s up to you and me to do the right thing and to do what she would want. And what she would want is for Danny to heal over the loss of her someday. And he will never be able to do that if you kill Cyrus. I appreciate you trying to make me feel better. Nope, nope, nope, nope. I’m just telling you the truth. It is too cold to think of anything to make you feel better. Well, thanks anyway. You know, it’s human to want to find answers, to want to find the evil person that killed Sam. So when all’s said and done, what you did was human. So don’t beat yourself up about it. I would have done the same thing if I were you. Get some rest. Thank you. I would be happy to give you and Mavis a ride home. Oh, it’s just that Mavis has to go out at least three or four times a day, and I’m so stiff and achy. I don’t know how I’m going to possibly do that now. Why don’t you let me take care of Mavis while you recuperate? Really? Oh, that would be such a relief. And, I mean, you’ve already bonded. We really have. Sasha, wait. I think this has really gone on long enough. I think it’s time you and I were honest with each other. Why on earth you would believe anything that comes out of Sonny’s mouth — We had him, Ava. I wanted my child. You just wanted to tear your brother apart in court. Oh, no, no, no, no. Okay? That’s not fair. No matter what my personal feelings are for my brother, I would have never done anything to jeopardize getting your daughter back. And I know I would have been able to get better than a 50/50 deal. No, you don’t. And better for whom? Not for Avery. She needs her father. And Sonny just admitted to me for the first time that she needs me, too. Well, I guess you didn’t need me at all then. That’s not true. [ Scoffs ] You know, before you came along, I was solely focused on getting my daughter back and on hurting Sonny as much as I could. However, I could, even if it meant using John Cates, even Kristina, to do it. I’m ashamed of that. You never told me that. Not something I’m proud to admit, but I’ve moved past it. Especially because you were able to prove in court that what happened to Kristina and her baby was an accident. Yeah, it was. Oh, I know. You were the first person who believed me. And whatever Kristina believes, I really don’t want her to have to get on the stand and — and relive all that. You’re actually much more generous than people give you credit for, you know? Hi, Dad. What? This place looks amazing. You up for a visit? Of course I am. From you, anytime. Alright. Hi. What’s up? I got some news. Oh. Is it about Michael? Is everything okay? Yeah, well, Michael’s good, as good as can be. It’s about your sister. You don’t have to testify at the hearing with Ava. Dad, you don’t have to worry about me. Really, I can take the stand. I’m not afraid of Ava. There’s not going to be a trial. Ava and I settled our custody arrangement for Avery. So you get a dog, and I — Hey, show a little respect. Her name’s Mavis. Oh. Oh. Apologies, Mavis. And I get a guy who gets a tick bite on Spoon Island. Wait, wait, wait, did you just say Spoon Island? Yeah. There’s a big mansion out there, Wyndemere? Yeah. A friend of mine told me about Wyndemere and its most recent occupant. Was your patient Jenz Sidwell, by any chance? Bald, accent? Yeah. Yeah. It was. How did you know? You might want to ask Lucky about his experience with the man. Well, it sounds like you have your own experiences with Mr. Sidwell. Yeah. The bastard kidnapped me in Africa, held me and Lucky hostage, and tried to have me killed here at G.H. when I escaped. He is not a good man. Just when I was starting to think you were being halfway decent. What? I-I was being supportive and agreed with what you did. Yeah. The guy who drinks too much and punches his way through his problems thinks I did the right thing. What does that say about me? Alright, alright, Little Miss Not So Perfect. Look, it happened twice. People make mistakes. I didn’t judge you when you just admitted to making one. Yeah, well, because you have no moral code, and I am still trying to hang on to mine. Oh, incredible. Yeah. You try to be nice. I’ll tell you what, this is not worth dying over. Whoa, whoa, what are you doing? Just calm down. I work — I work outside, I’m wearing long johns. Okay, why are you taking off your pants? Because it’s cold and a shirt’s too light and it’s windy. Okay, good, there are people down there. Still doesn’t explain what you’re doing. Denim’s heavier. It’s got enough weight to make it down. This is like my version of a flare. Don’t worry. If it doesn’t work, I’ll throw myself off. I’m sorry, man, I didn’t mean to bring up anything, but — Oh, watch out! Is that a pair of jeans? I think it’s a cry for help. Hey! Hey! Hey! Up here! Yeah! Up here! Come upstairs! [ Shouting indistinctly ] If you kill Cyrus, you will make Danny complicit. I would never compromise Danny in any way. I am not talking about legally complicit. I’m talking about morally complicit. You will make him feel responsible. You’re an adult. You know that. He is not. He’s a teenage boy. Do not make him carry the burden of Cyrus’s death around with him for the rest of his life. I would have bet money that Ava would have battled to the death before she gave up custody of Avery. Congratulations. To you and to my little sister. She didn’t just give up. We settled on a 50/50 split. You what? Wait. Why would you — Why would you do that? Because Avery misses her mother, and she needs both of us. Dad, she just tried to kidnap Avery. We both know what that woman is capable of. I know — I know how you feel. You think that it’s not fair that Ava is getting access to Avery, right? Especially after you just lost Adela. I’m — But listen to me. You both have been through way too much. It’s settled. Okay, then. It’s just — It’s funny. I-I never thought I would see my father take the easy way out. I’m a private eye, Sasha. We didn’t meet by chance. I set you up. You are party to an investigation I’m working. Why me? I mean, who would do this? I can’t break my client’s confidentiality, but, I mean, you have been so kind to me and Mavis today that I just feel like I need to warn you. Watch your back, Sasha. Because somebody is looking into you. Thank you for telling me. You’re welcome. In my line of work, we don’t make that many new friends. Right? [ Barks ] That’s right. Oh! Do not let the door close. Oh, God. I thought we were gonna freeze. I’m guessing that these belong to you. Thank you. I cannot believe I’m going to utter these words. Thank you for taking off your pants. You might have saved our lives. I think you just admitted I was right. You must be Lulu Spencer. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting your mother. The mayor. If you’ve met my mother, then you know that my brother Lucky is the one you held hostage. Listen, um, my apologies. Really, she must obviously be mistaken. Because Jenz Sidwell is such a common name. I have indeed met your brother Lucky, who I found aptly named. However, I shouldn’t have to remind you that there are always two sides to every story. No, you shouldn’t. Lucy, the last thing I’d ever want to do is create discord amongst your staff. No, no, Lulu is inconsequential. She does not count. Who counts is my beautiful partner. That is Maxie Jones. Hi. A pleasure. However, I feel like I should take my leave. If after discussing things internally you find my involvement not too disruptive, then please call me. Call me. Of course. Hey, keep that phone right by your side. Look what you just did. That man is the one person who could throw a lifeline to Deception. And you just chased him off. Couldn’t have waited until after the meeting to bring up your reservations? So sorry I wasn’t more polite to the guy that was going to kill my brother. Well, so sorry you don’t have a say here. Okay, but I do. And I want to know everything about that guy before we take him on. I have seen his finan– Never mind. I’m going to go after him. I’m just going to go tell him, you know, that these things happen, that we really want to talk some more, and that this, whatever this is, was an aberration. And I guarantee you this aberration is not going to happen again. It’s your job to make sure that Danny gets the future that Sam wanted him to have, the one he deserves, and one without the burden of guilt. Which means, as much as you hate it, you have to leave Cyrus to the police. I understand. I know you do. Excuse me. You wouldn’t happen to have a cigarette, would you? Sorry. No. Okay. Thought you gave up that filthy habit years ago. I gave up a lot of things that were bad for me back then. Including me. Seeing how you slipped out of that meeting, I take it you haven’t told your coworkers we were married once upon a time. I’m going to go to the office and grab the paperwork. And once I approve the language, you will be free to sign. I don’t believe it. Nor do I. I, uh — I better get going. Your elevator takes forever. Hey, you don’t have to rush to your office right this second, do you? Well, I suppose it’s going to take Diane some time to put the paperwork together. I’m sure of it. However shall we pass the time? ♪♪ So you, uh — obviously you were — you were just trying to do the right thing here. And Ava must have forced you into this or something. You think I’d let her force me? Well — Okay, look, you and I have a difference of opinion. Okay? That’s fine. But I’m doing this for Avery. She needs her mother and her father, just like you do, just like Donna does. Ava is not Mom. Ava is not Carly. Ava’s never going to be a good role model for Avery. Oh, you know what? Okay, maybe. Maybe not. But you know how many years her and I have been fighting over living arrangements for Avery? And who pays the price there? Avery. Listen, I know that you don’t understand my decision. But I hope that one day… …you’ll figure out why I did it.
