Sonny arrived at Michael and Willow’s house hoping that Willow would help Sonny in making amends with Michael. But, everything went sideways when Michael showed up and caught Sonny speaking to Willow. Michael said if Sonny had anything to say it should be to him directly.  Sonny told Michael that he never wanted the divorce, but Carly insisted and forced it through. Michael defended Carly and made it clear that she had made the right decision after catching Sonny in bed with Nina. 

Sonny said that he had forgiven Carly for infidelity once when he found Carly in bed with Jax, but Michael felt that his father was trying to justify cheating on Carly. Michael told Sonny that he was done with him and that he had contemplated changing his name back to Quartermaine.  But, he said that he would rather keep the name Corinthos and make the name stand for something that is not at all associated with Sonny’s business, crimes and violence.  Michael said that he and Wiley would make the name something to be proud of and Sonny’s legacy would just fade away. Sonny told Michael that he loved him, but he also said he would never forget the things that Michael had said.  He left Michael’s house, but once he was outside, he said, “Goodbye, son.”

Jordan  informed Liz that someone had jammed the cameras that Chase installed. Jordan also added that it was now clear that this was a deliberate action, possibly by someone who had once again bypassed the security system.  When Jordan left, Aiden argued that Franco’s ghost was behind all of these occurrences. But Finn told Aiden that Franco would never want Liz or her boys to feel unsafe in their home or frightened. So, they should consider living possibilities, and all of this left Liz extremely worried and concerned. Finn suggested the boys should live elsewhere and that Elizabeth should move into the Metro Court until they could find out exactly what is going on at Elizabeth’s house.  Elizabeth objected, saying she didn’t want to leave her home, but she did send Aiden back to Laura’s house.

Chase brought flowers to Brook Lynn and explained why he was late for Leo’s big day. Brook Lynn told Chase that she was concerned about him. Chase reassured her, and when he tried kissing her, they were interrupted by Michael and then later by Leo. Speaking of Leo, he got an explanation for why Chase missed his adoption party. Chase also gave Leo some advice about stage fright.  Leo told Brook Lynn that when Chase was living in the Quartermaine mansion, he would sometimes sing Brook Lynn’s songs.  Brook Lynn was surprised and Chase was a little embarrassed.  He admitted he really liked her demos.

Curtis met Marshall on the pier and confronted him over the sealed arrest record. Marshall said that Curtis had broken the law to get his records and got furious at him for invading his privacy. But, Curtis was more upset over Marshall pretending that he left his family for some life-changing thing. In reality, Marshall was arrested over a protest and sent to a mental hospital for evaluation. Marshall claimed that it was a mistake to reconnect with Curtis, but Curtis wanted to know the truth. Curtis wanted his father to stay in Port Charles. Curtis wanted a fresh start, so he asked about Marshall’s condition. This time Curtis told his father that he wanted answers from him. Marshall told Curtis to read the file he had stolen, because if the answers weren’t in there he certainly wouldn’t be getting any from him.

Alexis met Diane in her office and told her about Harmony’s recent behavior, which included how Harmony wanted to kill the Smoltz story. But, Diane convinced Alexis to run the story. And the duo also made a plan to put Harmony up at the Metro Court, while Diane would meet with Lucy and try to find Harmony permanent living arrangements.

Harmony told Carly that she was just burning personal documents and tax stuff when Carly arrived unexpectedly at Alexis’ house. Carly began grilling Harmony about her connection to Nina. Harmony denied that Nina was blackmailing her and denied that she had ever worked with Phyllis. Carly wanted to know why Harmony had said that she wished that Willow was part of her family. When Miller left the room for a while, Carly looked at the notes she left behind and found some pieces in the fireplace. Carly realized that Harmony was burning Dr. Neil Byrne’s psychiatric file notes from his sessions with Harmony and realized that Willow isn’t her biological daughter. Suddenly, Harmony confronted Carly while holding a syringe, she then attacked Carly. But, the syringe fell on the floor, and the two fought for it. Harmony is later shown sitting in Carly’s car with Carly unconscious in the trunk.  Harmony has a crazed look in her eyes.

At the Quartermaine mansion, Ned and Olivia welcomed their family and friends to celebrate the official adoption of Leo as Ned’s son, thus making Leo an official Quartermaine. Everyone toasted to Leo, Ned, and Olivia’s happiness.

Leo asked Brook Lynn why Chase hadn’t attended the celebration. Brook Lynn (unaware of what had happened to Chase) wondered the same thing and called Chase to leave a voice message. Olivia then mentioned that she’d encouraged Leo to enroll in theater therapy. Drew asked Olivia what theater therapy was, and Olivia explained that it was an afterschool program for kids on the spectrum to use theater to learn about speech, taking turns, and other cognitive behavior. Olivia asked Leo to recite the poem he was scheduled to read at the school production, at first Leo seemed receptive to the idea, but when it was time for him to do the reading, he screamed “No”, and ran out of the room. Leo told Olivia that he didn’t want to read the poem, either at the mansion or at the school production. Olivia was worried about Leo’s outburst, but Brook Lynn tried to assure Olivia that it was only a case of stage fright.

Also at the Quartermaine mansion, Carly recalled to Sam about Harmony being heavily drunk the previous night. Carly thought the situation with Nina had taken a rough toll on Harmony. Carly then confided to Sam that she felt Harmony knew more about “the Nina situation” than Harmony had let on.

Sam apologized to Dante again for going behind his back and retrieving a file from his phone. Sam told Dante that it had been a long time since she’d been with someone who “played by the rules.” Dante said that he had come down too hard on Sam. Dante told Sam he loved her; Sam told Dante that she loved him, too, and they kissed.

Elsewhere at the mansion, Ned overheard Drew and Michael discussing Aurora and ELQ and wanted to know what they were speaking about. Drew told Ned that the executive coach he’d met with the previous night had suggested a merger between ELQ and Aurora. Michael explained to Ned that merging the two companies would dilute Valentin’s shares and make it practically impossible for Valentin to continue serving with a majority of shares. Ned remarked that if the two companies merged, it would give a clear majority of shares to Drew. Ned wondered where that would leave him. Drew explained that they had not even thought about things that far ahead, the idea was just in its infancy stage.  But, Michael agreed it was a valid way to take power out of Valentin’s hands and put it somewhere else.

At Alexis’ house, Harmony stumbled down the stairs and was shocked at how much she’d had to drink the previous night. Harmony was appalled when she learned from Alexis that she had ordered Alexis a drink and insisted that one wouldn’t kill her. Alexis wanted to know what had upset Harmony so bad for her to get so drunk. Harmony was beyond furious when Alexis told her of Smoltz’s plan to do a five-part series on Nina’s background. Harmony not only refused to cooperate but demanded that Alexis not publish the piece at all. Harmony said that this was just opening up a can of worms that could not be closed. The more people looked into her past the more likely it would become that someone would uncover the fact that Willow was not Harmony’s biological child. Alexis encouraged Harmony to tell Willow the truth and reasoned that if anyone could understand how a person could be a mother to a child she hadn’t given birth to, it was Willow. But, Alexis assured Harmony that it was Harmony’s secret to keep. Harmony continued to push the idea of killing Smoltz’s series outright. “After everything I’ve done for you, it’s the least you can do for me!” Harmony said to a stunned Alexis. Harmony recalled that she had supported Alexis when she first arrived at Spring Ridge. Harmony added that she had stood by Alexis even after Alexis had made it clear that Harmony wasn’t worthy to be anyone’s friend. Alexis left for work and told Harmony that they needed to have a serious discussion to re-evaluate their living arrangement when she returned home. After Alexis left, a distraught Harmony smashed a vase on the floor.  Harmony takes her psychiatric file, which she stole from Brendan’s hotel room at the Metro Court and puts it in the fireplace.  She believes if she burns it, she will be set free from her racing thoughts.  She leaves the room to find matches and comes back to start the fire.  At that moment, Carly (who had been knocking while Harmony was out of ear shot), walks in the front door and sees Harmony preparing to burn the files.

At General Hospital, Chase was waiting for Portia to discharge him from his stay for observation.  Chase was found unconscious on the floor with a concussion at Elizabeth’s house the previous evening by Finn and Cameron.  

Finn and Elizabeth escorted Jordan (at her request) to Elizabeth’s house so that she could check the security feed from the security cameras Chase had installed.  When they arrived at Elizabeth’s house, Elizabeth downloaded the security app just as Chase had told her to do, but when the three of them went to review the footage it cut out right before whatever happened to Chase occurred.  Elizabeth inquired as to how that was possible.  Jordan said that the file had been corrupted.  Elizabeth looked extremely uneasy as yet another mysterious occurrence had not happened at her home.

At Pier 54, Trina found Marshall alone with his bag packed. Marshall confirmed that he was leaving town and said it would be easier on everyone involved. Trina didn’t understand Marshall’s sudden decision to leave. Trina reminded Marshall that he’d told her the truth was always worth fighting for, and she pointed out that Marshall seemed to be ignoring his own advice. Trina said that nothing could be worse than Marshall never seeing his family again. Trina added that she hoped to see Marshall again. Marshall replied that it had been a privilege getting to know Trina.

After Trina left, Marshall sat alone and waited for his ferry.

Selina dropped by the Savoy to provide Curtis with the documents he had requested. Selina placed the file on the bar and warned Curtis that while she hadn’t read the file herself, there would always be skeletons in a person’s closet if someone looked close enough. “Once you cross that line and open that file, there is no going back,” Selina cautioned.

Selina left as Curtis picked up the sealed file and started to go through its findings. Trina arrived and told Curtis that she’d just seen Marshall and that Marshall was leaving town.

Curtis headed to the Pier immediately and caught up to Marshall just as he was about to board his ferry.

“Running away again, huh?” Curtis asked Marshall.

Update written by Dustin

At Wyndemere, Nikolas told Esme that his vow renewal had been postponed indefinitely.  Nikolas also pointed out that Ava and Sonny weren’t the only ones who believed Esme was guilty. Esme worried Nikolas was changing his mind about her, but he clarified that Jordan came there with questions and was turned away. That left Esme frustrated as she argued that Jordan would love to make her a scapegoat in Trina Robinson’s case. Esme couldn’t bear the thought of Jordan turning Nikolas and Spencer against her. Nikolas insisted that wouldn’t happen, so Esme took his hand and placed it on her own cheek. After Esme talked about Spencer still being a child in many ways, she acted like she could deal with Spencer’s emotions swinging like a pendulum. It was Nikolas’ opinion that concerned Esme, so he admitted he wasn’t naïve and could tell a lonely heart from a wicked one. Esme was curious which one she had. Nikolas didn’t want to hear any more talk about Esme leaving while she was on Sonny’s radar. Nikolas gently gripped Esme’s shoulders as she smiled and touched him on his arm.

At the Metro Court, Harmony argued that one drink wouldn’t kill Alexis, but Alexis cut Harmony off and told the bartender to put all of the drinks on her tab. Alexis tried to get Harmony to open up to her about what had happened to put her in this condition, but Harmony wouldn’t speak of it. Carly appeared and found out Harmony had been overserved, so she took Harmony’s keys and offered to call Willow. Harmony begged Carly not to tell Willow and became protective of her bag with the incriminating file. Harmony also told Carly she guessed she wasn’t getting that job at the Metro Court now.

Sam witnessed the drunken display and complained to Carly after Alexis took Harmony home. Although Carly was sorry for encouraging Sam to snoop and causing problems with Dante, she wondered if Sam found anything.

Sam admitted she didn’t have time to look through the forensics report, but she knew there was more evidence against Trina.

That left Carly fuming at the thought of the wrong person going to prison.

Carly vented to Sam about Sonny and Nina as well before they took Harmony’s car over to Alexis’ place.

In the meantime, Harmony entered the living room with Alexis and admitted she was terrified of herself.

Alexis could not understand what had gotten Harmony so worked up, she said multiple times that she had never seen her like this before.  Alexis told Harmony about finding Brendan floating in the pier while she waited for the launch to Spoon Island.  She told Harmony that the cops believe his death to be a suicide.

Carly and Sam eventually showed up, so Carly put Harmony’s keys down for her. Harmony stumbled into Carly, who thought maybe she should get some fresh air.

Harmony asked why Carly was being so nice to her and Carly said that Willow was family and she (Harmony was therefore an extension of that family).

“I wish she was mine,” Harmony said leaving Carly reeling.

At Kelly’s, Spencer pretended he was going to tell the truth after Cameron backed him into a corner. Instead, Spencer acted like maybe Trina filmed the video and was part of Josslyn’s plan to set Esme up. Cameron called Spencer a “son of a bitch” and punched him hard. Officer Cabrera witnessed it and arrested Cameron, but Spencer suggested Rory should just let them settle their differences outside.  Spencer accidentally hit Rory in the face as he was gesturing. It was clearly an accident, but the young cop immediately took him into custody as well.  He also refused to listen to Trina’s plea to cut them both some slack.

At the Port Charles Grill, Ava talked to Nina about her petition for custody rights.There was also talk about Nina’s interest in both “Mike” the bartender and “Sonny” the mobster.

Ava suggested that she and Nina weren’t so different after all since neither of them could resist a bad boy!

After Sonny talked to Laura about all the Jennifer and Victor drama, she brought up Esme moving into Wyndemere because of the “chat” that he had with her, which Esme then used as the perfect excuse to get sympathy from Nikolas and Victor. Sonny assured Laura that he wouldn’t hurt Esme, even if she turned out to be guilty.

Once Phyllis called Nina about the gunmen from the robbery being out on the streets again, Nina spoke to Sonny about it.

Sonny was obviously handling it in his own way, but he didn’t want Nina to know the details. Nina assured Sonny that he didn’t have to hide anything from her, but he still took off without sharing what he was up to. Sonny then approached a parked car that had one of the gunmen tied up in the trunk. Sonny said the thug would be joining his friend real soon and laughed before the trunk was shut. Once Sonny rejoined Nina, she worried about the gunmen causing more trouble. Sonny told Nina that the guys got the message and seemed satisfied. Ava let Laura know the vow renewal ceremony was no longer happening.

At the gym, Michael is sparring with Drew when T.J. walks in.  Michael tells Drew that Nina is taking Michael and Willow to court over visitation rights to Wiley. Michael says that he began a battle that could get very nasty.  Drew tells him that he is a good father and that he would do exactly what he is doing if he were in his place.

T.J. and Marshall discuss what T.J. is considering to be his specialty since he is getting close to that point in medical school when students decide.  T.J. tells Marshall that he feels a real camaraderie when he is working on a surgical team. 

Marshall approaches Drew, while Michael is still with him and says that he is ready to talk about the job that Drew offered him.  Drew says that he is sorry but they have already moved on with another candidate.  Marshall sees right through the whole scheme.  He realizes that Curtis asked Drew to pretend to hire him simply so that Drew could pull a background check on Marshall.  

Britt pulls Spencer out of Kelly’s when he and Josslyn get into a heated argument over his apparent blind loyalty to Esme.  Cameron tries to talk Joss down and tells her that Spencer has asked to come back to work there.  Joss can’t believe that Cameron is even considering allowing Spencer to hang out there let alone coming back to work.  Trina says that she needs a minute and when she comes back to the table Cameron and Josslyn are still arguing about Spencer.  Josslyn says that she can’t believe that Cameron isn’t backing her on this.  Cameron says that the decision to rehire Spencer will be his to make and won’t be influenced by drama that seems to surround them now. Josslyn says, “this is so typical, guys always forgive guys.”  Cameron is offended and says that Joss wouldn’t be mad at Cameron if she knew what he was really up to.

Britt gives Spencer a shoulder to lean on. He tells her about the sex tape and the terrible place he is in, being stuck between friends who think he is disloyal and a girlfriend he is pretending to love while he gathers evidence.  Spencer tells Britt that talking to her has always made things better.  Britt says that Spencer will always do the right thing in the end.  Spencer thanks her for dinner and then leaves.

Portia and Jordan are at odds over Trina’s case.  Curtis asks them to take a deep breath. They move their conversation to a private office but Portia tells Jordan outright that she can’t be impartial about the case because of the elephant in the room, that being Curtis.

Alexis is horrified when she finds Brendan’s body in the water at the pier.  She is even more horrified when the police identify the victim as Brendan.  She tells Jordan that she knew him that he was the brother of her ex-boyfriend but she hasn’t seen him since the funeral.  Except for a few days prior when he stopped by her office looking for a job.  Jordan continues to come up with questions for Alexis and finally when Alexis says she is going home that she no longer feels like visiting Nikolas, Jordan asks if that is because she is not in the mood or is upset over the grisly discovery.  Alexis tells Jordan if she has anything further to say she will need to contact her attorney, Diane Miller.

Valentin shows up at Anna’s place bearing wine as a gift.  He tells Anna he has heard that she has been doing some traveling. Anna says that the travel has been strictly business.  Anna tells Valentin about the night she allowed Peter to die without medical attention.  Valentin says that Peter couldn’t be redeemed and that Anna made the right call.  He goes a step further by saying that he would have enjoyed watching Peter take it.  Anna says that she has missed him and she can’t believe that he never bothered to call.  Anna is clearly not pleased with the situation with Valentin.  She asks him if he has seen his father lately.  Valentin says that he has not seen him in awhile.  Valentin then decides he will not be able to stay for the wine.  Anna says that it’s his decision but tells him not to expect her to keep it for him.  They go to the door and say goodbye, the tension is palpable.  Then immediately after closing the door, Valentin knocks again.  Anna asks if he’s forgotten something and they share a passionate kiss.

At General Hospital, Liz informs Portia that there are notes missing from one of her exams and she needs the paperwork. Portia snaps at her and tells her she hasn’t finished them yet. She tells Liz to work with what she has until she has time to complete the notes.  Liz says that she can’t complete her work without the notes and she has to finish the notes before she looks in on her own patients. LIz tells Portia it is not the nurse’s responsibility to get the doctor to finish their notes. After Portia snaps at her again, Liz

calms things down by taking Portia aside and Portia admits that she’s been so preoccupied about Trina’s case it has made her forgetful. She apologies to LIz. They discuss their mutual problems and how overwhelmed they are.

Liz admits that she has more problems than Cam and the video. She fills Portia in on the break-ins and the strange dream. Portia apologizes for not checking in on her before and then gets called away to see a patient.

Alexis speaks with Finn at addicts anonymous about Harmony and what a good friend she’s been. After inviting her to move in, however, she discovered that she’d been there before. Now she feels like she doesn’t know her at all.

They talk about his relationship with Liz. He fills Alexis in on the stalker and the fact that he basically comes and goes as he pleases in Liz’s home. Finn also tells her about Liz’s dream and the fact that they can’t seem to make heads or tails of it. Alexis suggests Liz make an appointment with Kevin. Maybe through hypnosis Kevin can help her to clarify what is going on.

Liz later bumps into Finn by the elevators. He urges her to speak to Kevin. Maybe he can help her remember something that could be useful. Liz is all for therapy but never thought of using it to try to clear up the dream. When she answers a phone, someone says, “Don’t forget me.” She’s terrified, but it’s just a patient requesting care. When Alexis gets to her office, she finds Valentin spinning around in her chair. They hug and catch up. He says he’s back and better than ever. She senses he wants something. Valentin thinks a media company in the family could be useful and his father agrees with him.Alexis warns that if Victor wants to get close to him, he’s not being paternal, it’s something else. She won’t let her paper be used by the family. Valentin reminds her that you can’t pick your family. “On the contrary, you have to,” she says.

Laura joins Robert, Felicia, and Anna at her place. They inform her that a suspect in Luke’s death has been arrested: Jennifer Smith. So far, there is no evidence that she was working with Victor. Laura doesn’t believe for a minute that Jennifer is smart or capable enough to pull something like the cable car accident along with the theft of the Ice Princess alone.  She says the Cassadine family are definitely involved. All of this activity, plus his attempts to manipulate Drew means that Victor is up to something. Robert can think of a surefire way to find out and suggests that Anna use her relationship with Valentin.

Felicia tries to grill her about this “relationship,” so Anna changes the topic and reminds them of the man who was with Jennifer before she was arrested. Valentin shows up on Anna’s doorstep as Robert walks out. “Speak of the devil,” says Scorpio. Anna and Valentin are happy to see each other.

Brad and Britt have lunch outside.  They discuss his job interview which Britt is initially hesitant to discuss.  Brad senses that she is avoiding the topic and asks Britt what is going on.  He wants to know if Terry is having second thoughts about hiring him. Britt says that it is not that.  But, flashing back in her mind to Selina threatening to send Britt to prison if she did not do her bidding.  Britt asks Brad why he would want to work as orderly?  She suggests he work somewhere else other than General Hospital.  Brad says that he is open to other things and says that the one thing he wants is for both he and Britt to be living their best lives. Immediately bringing down the mood of the moment, Selina appears and insists she has a job for Brad and that he come with her immediately.

On the docks, Curtis runs into Jordan, they have a brief conversation and catch up but Jordan doesn’t tarry long, she has a lot to do. When Jordan leaves, Selina appears and says she “thought she would never leave.” Her people accessed police files and discovered that Marshall was never in witness protection. He won’t get the records she has found until he holds up his side of their bargain.

Jordan drops by the hospital to check on Portia. The women immediately begin arguing about the Trina situation. Jordan tells Portia she is doing everything she can do for Trina. But, Portia quickly reminds her that Jordan has always been willing to go outside the law for her family. Jordan reminds Portia how much trouble that has caused her in the past. Portia accuses her of making the case personal. Curtis arrives and spots them together.

Harmony flashes back to Brendan blackmailing her as she tries to break into his room at the Metro Court. A maid finds her and asks if she’s a guest. Harmony says that she is and is just having trouble locating her key. She locates the key and goes into Brendan’s room.  She quickly locates her psychiatrist assessment and other files related to her.  She then goes down to the bar, she orders a double, and the bartender asks her if it’s been a hard day.  She says, “ you have no idea.”  Harmony flashes back to her confrontation with Brendan and him going over the cliff. Willow pops up and finds her looking flushed. Sitting down, Willow admits she’s a bit under the weather.  Harmony promises to be there for her as long as she can be. “Are you going somewhere?” asks Willow. She really appreciates how hard she has been working to rebuild their relationship. Tearing up, Harmony tells her how much that means. Taking her hand, Willow assures her that their past doesn’t have to keep hanging over them. Harmony says that no matter how hard she keeps trying, the past keeps coming after her.  Willow asks if this has something to do with Brendan. Harmony is shocked that Willow recalls his name and tells her that whatever she has done she has done for Willow. 

Alexis is horrified when she is walking on the pier and finds Brendan floating in the water.

For some reason, Spencer was surprised to see Trina at Ava’s gallery, but that didn’t stop him from talking to her and trying to explain himself. The problem was Trina did not want to hear it. As she asked him how he can believe she would have recorded Josslyn and Cameron, she also reminded him that she was with him at his mother’s grave when the video was released. He is her alibi, except she lied to Jordan about who she was with. However, she informed Spencer that she would tell Scott everything if it meant she would go free.

As Trina ranted to Spencer about how angry she is at him, he suddenly told her to stop and confessed that he was only living with Esme at Wyndemere so he could find evidence that she framed Trina. When Trina asked why, he said he was falling in love with her. They almost kissed, but then Spencer came out of his dream state, and the audience realized he was only fantasizing about saying all this to Trina. Yes, it all seemed too good to be true.

Speaking of true, it turned out that Esme’s story about having a nanny named Maggie wasn’t something she made up. After she grew closer to Nikolas by repeating her sob story, she looked through her box of letters and found one from Maggie warning her to stay away from her father while she is in New York.

Little did Esme know that downstairs, Ava had returned after begging Scott and Dante to save Trina. Although Nikolas told her that he was keeping Esme close to see if she’d slip up, Ava informed her husband that she was canceling their vow renewal ceremony.

Liesl was happy to have a family dinner at the Metro Court with Scott joining them. Nina made herself scarce quickly while Britt had to watch Scott and Liesl’s public displays of affection. She also had to endure her mother asking her how online dating is going.

At the bar, Dante discussed Trina’s case with Sam  and she tried to get information out of him about what was in that forensic report about Trina. When he wasn’t forthcoming and walked away for a moment, Sam swiped Dante’s phone and guessed the password was ROCCO. Too bad Dante came back while she was forwarding the email to her own phone.  Dante caught her red handed.

At Charlie’s, Brando Corbin and Sasha discussed finding a place to live together and Sasha then worried Brando only married her because she insisted they do it. Brando assured her that wasn’t the case, but Sasha was still in bad shape because Phyllis offered her condolences about Liam, which caused Sasha to relapse into one of her depressed states.

Phyllis also got quite an offer from Sonny when he wanted to sell her Charlie’s for $100. Nina convinced her to do it and then Sonny sent his bodyguard to watch her while she made a bank deposit. Nina and Sonny were finally alone when two gunmen walked in and demanded all the money and their jewelry.

Carly invited Sam into her office at Metro Court. They spoke about the video and the fact that there was no way Trina hadn’t committed the offense. Carly wanted proof that Esme had been responsible. She was hoping that Sam would be able to find out about the police department’s evidence, since she was currently in a relationship with a cop. Carly apologized for being blunt. Sam clarified that they were in a relationship and that Dante wasn’t the lead detective on the case, and he didn’t discuss it with her. She did know that the evidence had pointed to Trina. Carly replied that the evidence was wrong. She had known Trina for a long time, and Trina was loving, smart, and kind. She considered Esme to be smart but overconfident. Sam agreed that Esme was a manipulator, and Carly wondered who Esme would go after next. She knew that Esme had made the video and planted the phone. Sam maintained that she couldn’t ask Dante about privileged information, and Carly understood. Carly said she thought that Esme was dangerous. Sam said she suspected that Victor had been thinking that Esme could prove to be useful. Carly told Sam she appreciated Sam allowing her to vent. Sam reassured Carly that Josslyn and Cameron would be okay, and that Esme would get what she had coming.

Out in the restaurant area, Nina argued with Michael and Willow. She informed them that she would be exercising her rights as a grandparent. She would prove that she loved Wiley. Willow thought that Nina had something to prove, and Nina continued to plead with Willow to compromise. Nina said that Wiley would win, and that was all that mattered. She said she preferred to settle matters without lawyers and court. 

Alexis finds Harmony sitting on a bench alone in the dark at Pier 5. Harmony claimed that she enjoyed sitting and looking at the boats in order to reflect. Alexis brought up the fact that Harmony had gone to Carly for a job, and Harmony replied that she had to get out of Alexis’ house, since it contained bad memories. She continues to have flashbacks of her late-night injection of drugs into Neil. Alexis made it clear that she and Harmony had to put their pasts behind them. Harmony said that in her experience the past had a way of catching up. Alexis could tell that something was wrong and offered to help. Harmony stressed that no one could do anything. She urged Alexis to visit Nikolas as they heard the launch arriving.

At the P.C.P.D., Dante urged Rory, to “light a fire” under forensics in order to receive the report the case against Trina hinges on. The assistant district attorney, Arden, approached them and asked if there was any new evidence in Trina’s case. She needed more, since her case was only based on circumstantial evidence. She wanted to prosecute to the “fullest extent of the law.” After telling her there was nothing new, Jordan and Dante headed to the interrogation room to talk.  Jordan and Dante agree that they both believe in Trina’s innocence. They agree that they need to find something in order to exonerate Trina.

Rory returned with the report for Dante, who immediately handed it to Jordan to open. The new evidence indicated that the phone in question had been used to make an online purchase with Trina’s credit card. It was used to purchase images by the artist Richard Molyneaux.

Dante indicated that credit card information could easily be stolen, and Trina had been framed. Jordan believed that Arden would have enough evidence to convict Trina. 

Sam arrived and asked Rory to tell Dante that she was there, however Dante and Jordan emerged from the interrogation room. Dante asked Rory to email the latest evidence to Arden. Sam eyed the envelope as everyone said goodbye.

As Ava finished up a phone call at the art gallery, she was excited and surprised to see Trina. She explained that she had been spending time with family, and had been getting advice from Marshall. Trina offered to take over, and she suggested that Ava go home. Ava replied that she wanted to stay because Nikolas wasn’t alone.

Trina was appalled to learn that Spencer and Esme had moved back to Wyndemere, and she acknowledged that she had expected them to get back together. Ava informed her that Esme was not pregnant, and it didn’t appear that Esme and Spencer were back together, due to separate bedrooms. Ava admitted that she was responsible for their presence, although it hadn’t been her idea. She disclosed that she had gone to Sonny, and asked him to take care of Esme. It had backfired, and Nikolas and Victor had rescued her. Ava admitted that with Spencer and Esme living at Wyndemere, she was able to keep an eye on Esme.

Trina was upset over the fact that Ava and Nikolas had broken up because of her, although Ava assured her that it was just an “difference of opinion.” Trina thought that Ava should show Esme that she wouldn’t win, and Ava’s marriage was stronger than ever. Ava thought there was an issue of trust with Nikolas, as he hadn’t bothered to even mention that he had given Esme and Spencer permission to move back into their home. Ava mentioned that if Trina was uncomfortable with Spencer working at the gallery, she would speak to the judge about having Spencer’s restitution done elsewhere. 

At Wyndemere, Spencer answered the door when Alexis arrived, and he told her that things were tense. In the library, Nikolas and Esme wondered who was at the door. Spencer and Alexis entered the room, and Esme noted that Alexis had made the Invader a “must-read” with the latest story.

Suddenly, Spencer announced that he needed air. Esme chased after Spencer. Spencer said he planned on taking the launch to the gallery to see Ava because he needed to get out. In the library, Alexis wanted to know why Esme was there. Nikolas explained that Esme had been terrified after Sonny had threatened her and had been staying at Wyndemere as a guest, but Alexis was amused. Nikolas thought that Esme deserved a second chance, but Ava disagreed.

Back at the Metro Court, Brendan interrupted Nina, Willow, and Michael. Nina informed him they were in the middle of a conversation. Harmony walked off the elevator and spotted them. Brendan wanted to do business, but Michael exclaimed that he didn’t do business with strangers.

Just then, Brendan received a text message from Harmony, which read, “You win.” 

Carly and Willow approached Nina and Michael. Nina announced that she had hired a lawyer because of a lack of compromise. She wanted to see Wiley as much as Carly did. “So much for Wiley’s best interests, huh?” Carly asked. Nina snapped that Wiley having his grandmother was in his best interest, but Carly noted that Wiley didn’t miss Nina. She thought that Nina’s move was all about her own selfish interests, and Michael and Willow would defend their rights. Nina was sure that a judge would have sympathy for her after she’d been excluded from her daughter’s life. Michael shouted that a judge would get to know the real Nina.

Harmony met Brendan at the pier. She begged him to stay away from her daughter. Brendan replied that Willow wasn’t her daughter, and he ordered her to “pay up.” “You’ll get what’s coming to you,” Harmony replied.

Spencer arrived at the gallery and called out for Ava. Instead, he came face to face with Trina.

Valentin and his French came in handy in French Polynesia. He used it on Jennifer Smith and she pretty much fell for it. They went back to her room and he watched her put something in the safe. Then, while she showered he did everything he could to crack the code and open that safe as Jennifer described her entire shower to him in intimate detail. Of course, the minute he got the safe open, Jennifer caught him.  Valentin told her he dropped his cell phone and had to retrieve it.  She seemed to buy it.

After getting off the elevator in the Metro Court restaurant, Michael and Willow are immediately served with papers to appear in court. Nina has decided to play hardball. Michael and Willow discuss the lawsuit, when Harmony arrives. Willow and Harmony agree to allow Smoltz and Michael time to discuss a mutually beneficial agreement which will allow all parties to avoid court. 

Michael thought of the perfect way to get Smoltz to drop the charges against him. He told him he would give him a first-person story about Sonny’s romance with Nina as well as an account of all Nina did to his family, including kidnapping Avery right out of Ava’s womb. Might Nina’s best friend Ava have something to say about that? 

Over at Sonny’s office, Sonny and Nina spent time together as Sonny tried to explain that maybe Michael thinks she is just like Nelle and that is why he doesn’t want her near Wiley. Sonny said that he can see all of Nina and knows she is not like Nelle and the pair kissed, but Sonny got a business call that had to be handled.

Back at the Metro Court, Harmony asked Carly for a job and told her all about going to bat for Nina, full disclosure and all. Carly was struck by Harmony saying she felt she owed Nina, information that Carly quickly relayed to Alexis.

When Harmony and Willow had a chat, Harmony ignored her phone as she did when with Carly, but finally got a text from Brendan telling her he will call her daughter next.

Although Stella Henry fainted, she was fine and it turned out to be a panic attack. Stella then called Marshall and warned him to stick to his story about his past because the truth can never be revealed or Curtis might not forgive either of them. Curtis later called Selina Wu to take her up on her offer.  Curtis agreed to provide the Savoy for Selina’s high stakes card game, provided she incurs the expenses for the security and ensures that there are no drugs coming into his club.

Scott goes to Sonny’s office to inform him that he is going to call Sonny as a character witness.  Sonny tells Scott that he underestimated him.  Sonny then tells Scott he is going to get exactly what he has coming.

Drew dropped by Curtis and Portia’s new home for a small housewarming party. After Drew said hello to everyone, Drew and Curtis broke away from the group to chat. Drew saw Trina come into the living room, and asked how things had been going. Curtis explained that Trina had a lot of support, but she couldn’t seem to get past the impasse in her relationship with Spencer..

Drew and Curtis’ conversation shifted to Marshall. Curtis admitted that he had reached out to both Jordan and Sonny for assistance to try to get Marshall’s sealed records, but both had turned him down. Drew thought it had been for the best, especially with Sonny, because Curtis didn’t want to owe the mob any favors. T.J. checked in on Trina and she opened up about the frustration she felt over being falsely accused of betraying her friends. T.J. empathized because he had a similar experience when he was Trina’s age. Trina spoke of the unfairness of having your life spiral out of control when you haven’t even done anything wrong.  Stella seemed to admit that she thought Curtis and Portia had moved in far too soon.  Portia made it known that she had learned her lesson about taking things slow and had recently decided to grab onto her happiness and never let go.  There is a moment where Stella seems a bit off.  Portia notices it, but Stella explains it away as just being lost in thought.  Moments later, Marshall arrives. Curtis was surprised to see his father, but T.J. stepped forward and explained that he had invited Marshall to the gathering, since it was mostly family. After Marshall exchanged greetings with everyone, decided to talk to Drew about the job offer that Drew had made him by explaining he has been doing multiple gigs and didn’t want to take a job away at Aurora Media from someone who had a greater need for it.

After Drew walked away, Curtis asked his father if he had ever visited Buenos Aires by pretending that Curtis and Portia were thinking about a trip to the city. Curtis was curious if Marshall had ever been there. Marshall acknowledged that he had been, but it had been quite a while. Uncomfortable with the topic, Marshall excused himself to check out the view outside. Stella joins Marshall on the terrace.  Stella saw a prescription bottle in Marshall’s hand and angrily confronted him about popping pills, but he assured her it was heart medication. Stella warned Marshall that he had been taking a big chance and that the truth might get out, but he assured her that he would not let that happen. Stella conceded that she was in way too deep to go back on her word to Marshall, but she wanted Marshall to promise that he would not let things blow up in her face. Stella did not want to jeopardize her relationship with her family. 

Portia checked on Trina. Trina admitted that the look on Spencer’s face when he’d confronted her in the interrogation room had hurt deeply. Portia told Trina she knew it hurt, but it also taught her who her true friends were. Trina explained that she didn’t even think Spencer believed she was guilty, but it was the only way Spencer was able to accept his nightmare of a relationship with Esme. Trina admitted she truly believed Spencer wanted to do what was right, but he always seem to take the easy way out.

Portia suggested that everyone gather for a family photo. Stella’s expression was filled with concern again. Portia called Stella over, but seconds later, she collapsed.

At the gym, Spencer was working out when Sonny emerged from the locker room. Spencer asked if his uncle intended to continue his lecture, but Sonny promised he’d said everything he had to say. After Spencer left, Sonny smiled to himself.

A short time later, Selina entered the gym. Sonny made it clear that the gym was his private space and not a place to conduct business. He advised Selina to make an appointment, but she admitted that Jordan had been breathing down her neck. Selina worried about how it would look if she were spotted at Sonny’s office. She said she thought the gym was a better idea, since it was a public place. Selina explained that she wanted to expand in Port Charles by getting into the gambling business. She reminded him that it wouldn’t conflict with any of his businesses in any way. Sonny was not pleased because Selina had never mentioned gambling when she had asked Sonny for access to the docks.  Selina assured Sonny that he would get a cut of the profits. Sonny reminded Selina that he expected her to stick to his original terms because he did not want drugs moved through his territory. Selina and Sonny shook hands on it.  Afterwards, Selina mentioned that she had heard about Sonny’s divorce, but Sonny refused to discuss it. However, he did tell Selina that Brick had been selected as Jason’s successor. Selina was pleased, and she admitted that the timing was good because she believed there to be a new crime family in Port Charles.

At Wyndemere, Laura broached the subject of the sex tape and hoped that Esme had nothing to do with the video of Cameron and Josslyn. Esme denied any involvement and was frustrated that no one believes her. Nikolas suggested they let the investigation run its course. Laura warned Esme not to betray the trust that Nikolas had extended when he had opened his home to Esme. “We already know the answer to that,” Ava said from the doorway. Nikolas was surprised by his wife’s unexpected return. Ava explained that she’d had a change of heart, “This is my damn house, too,” she said. Esme was clearly filled with rage, Laura suggested that both she and Esme step out to give Nikolas and Ava some privacy. Ava agreed because she didn’t want to get the “mother-to-be” all worked up in her delicate condition. Esme informed her that the pregnancy had been a false alarm. After Laura and Esme left, Nikolas insisted that — despite what Esme had done — Esme did not deserve to be on the receiving end of Sonny’s wrath. Ava accused Esme of being a liar, a criminal and a master manipulator who had framed Trina. Ava insisted that Trina was practically her daughter, and Ava would never be okay with Esme living at Wyndemere. However, Ava refused to let Esme, who she referred to as a “sociopath” drive her from her own home. Nikolas was disappointed that Ava hadn’t had a change of heart about Esme. Ava informed Nikolas that she intended to move back in, but she would not be sharing a bed with Nikolas until Esme was out. Ava intended to keep her eye on things until Nikolas could see the truth about Esme.

At the Metro Court restaurant, Victor read a text message that said, “Get it done. There’s too much at stake.” He put his phone away when Johan joined him. Victor explained that he would be leaving town for a couple of weeks and that he needed Johan to keep an eye on everything. Victor insisted it was a business trip, and he doubted that anyone would notice he was gone. 

Victor saw Laura arrive at the bar and asked to buy her a drink.  She declined the offer. Victor realizes during their conversation that while their methods were different their goals were similar for their families.  He asked Laura to imagine a world where they were no longer enemies and instead worked together for a common goal.

Anna knocks on the door of Sam’s penthouse.  Sam and Dante had been waiting for Anna because they had news for her. Dante and Sam believed they had uncovered proof that Luke had been murdered. Sam revealed that Spinelli had been monitoring the dark web ever since Drew’s run-in with Victor on the docks. Dante didn’t think it was a coincidence that Luke had been murdered, Victor had returned, and the Ice Princess diamond had been stolen. Anna agreed that the events had to be connected.

Sam pulled an auction up on her laptop, and Anna read about “the world’s largest uncut diamond.” Anna was certain it was the Ice Princess, and she agreed with Dante and Sam that the seller was likely Luke’s killer — who would lead them straight to Victor. Sam explained that to gain entry to the auction, they would need to show that they could participate in the bidding. Anna realized that Sam was right. Anna confided that Duke Lavery had left Anna a sizable inheritance, but she had never touched the money because of the ambiguous ways that Duke had accumulated his wealth. Anna decided to use the cryptocurrency to secure a place in the auction. Sam went to work setting everything up. In the hallway, Anna called Valentin, but the call went to voicemail. Anna explained that she had to leave town, but she was concerned because she hadn’t been able to reach him.

In French Polynesia, Jennifer Smith sat at a table on the beach, sipping a tropical drink as she spoke to a mystery person on the phone.  Jennifer ended the call and ordered another drink. Suddenly, Valentin approaches her table. He was dressed in a white naval uniform and sporting a mustache. He addressed her in French then switched to heavily accented English as he offered to buy her a drink and asked if he could join her.

Spencer and Nikolas discuss the fact that Spencer’s room has been perfectly recreated, just like it used to be.  Nikolas tells Spencer that the reason it looks like it used to is that he never had his belongings put into storage.  He always held out hope that Nikolas would come home.  Nikolas explains to Spencer that a father never gives up on his child.

Ava comes home and when she enters Wyndemere she calls out for Nikolas.  She is shocked when Esme answers from the living room.  Ava tells Esme to get out before she throws her out. Esme flashes her a smug grin and tells her she might want to run that by her husband because Nikolas invited her and Spencer to stay. Ava refuses to believe it. Esme informs her that she might be a step-grandmother soon. Ava screams for Nikolas. He and Spencer arrive downstairs. Nikolas asks to speak to Ava in private. Once the doors are closed, the fighting begins.

Ava tells Nikolas she hopes he’s not falling for Esme’s act. He tells her Sonny has already grabbed her off the street. Ava admits that she urged Sonny to take care of Esme. Nikolas keeps going back to the subject of Esme’s potential pregnancy.  Ava doesn’t care, she tells Nikolas that Esme must go. Nikolas tells Ava that he has made his decision. Ava thinks that if Esme isn’t pregnant, they should let Sonny deal with her.  Ava gives Nikolas an ultimatum, either Esme goes or she does.  She is shocked when Nikolas still sides with Esme.  Ava storms out.

Laura visits with Elizabeth and the two of them speak about her parents going behind her back to speak with Jake.  She asks Laura if she is just overreacting. Laura tells her that is for her to decide.  The two also discuss the incidents that have recently happened to Elizabeth and she tells Laura that she has ruled out another suspect.  Laura asks who and Elizabeth says Jake.  Laura is shocked that Elizabeth would even consider Jake.  But, Elizabeth explains how Franco’s death has greatly affected Jake because the two were so close.  Laura leaves Elizabeth and Elizabeth turns out the lights and starts upstairs when she hears a strange noise and a man comes around the corner and says, “Don’t Forget Me.”  Elizabeth awakes suddenly, it was all a nightmare.  But when she looks at her drafting table, she finds a painting with “Don’t Forget Me” written across it.

At the Metro Court, Amy is thrilled by Brook Lynn’s song and grateful she is using local talent. Chase arrives with Violet and stares over at them. Brook Lynn tries to leave but Violet corners her and asks about Bailey. Maxie calls Violet over to look at pictures of Bailey on the phone.

Amy suggests that Chase sing the song with her. Brook Lynn insists he doesn’t want to be involved. Chase and Brook Lynn cross the room. They go over why he already refused to sing. He’s still worried about what it would do to his image. Gregory arrives and his son introduces him to Brook Lynn. Gregory already knows who she is. They rehash her role in Chase being suspended until Violet runs over to him. He leaves to get their table. Chase apologizes for her father’s rude behavior and tells her that his suspension was not her fault.

Finn arrives and Chase joins the family at a table.

When Gregory and Chase are left alone, Chase grills him about being rude to Brook Lynn. He stands up for her, what she did, and the sacrifices she made. Gregory asks if Chase has feelings for her.

Gregory crosses the room and apologizes to Brook Lynn for being rude. She’s sure he was just looking out for his son. He’s looking forward to getting to know her better. She and Chase exchange a glance from across the room.

In Terry’s office at General Hospital, Britt asks her to go into Brad’s interview with an open mind.  During his interview, Terry tells Brad she wouldn’t be comfortable allowing him to work in any other role but orderly, but allows him the chance to make his case. Brad does a better job selling his qualifications to Terry than she had anticipated and she tells him that she will have to talk to Lucas first and will then let Brad know her final decision. Once Brad leaves, Amy spots him and starts yelling for security. She is convinced that Brad was trying to steal files from Terry’s office. Terry arrives and calms Amy and tells her that the hiring of hospital personnel is her job, and Amy’s feelings about a particular candidate will be irrelevant when she makes her decision.

Selina’s associate Li arrives and instructs Britt that she needs to come with him.  Britt tells Brad that this is the night she is scheduled to meet with Selina. She assures Brad she will be fine.

Britt meets Selina at The Grill. She’s bought out the entire restaurant so they can speak privately. Britt thinks this is a bit much for a friendly dinner. “We are not friends,” Selina reminds her. Britt tells her that Brad really wants to start a new life at the hospital. Selina doesn’t think much of him doing menial labor rather than working for her. She knows Brad listens to Britt so she blackmails her, telling her she knows that Britt and Faison were working on in 2016. She’s sure it’s something the WSB would be happy to hear about. Britt accuses her of bluffing but Selina says she has proof. In exchange for her silence, Selina says Britt must get Brad to submit to her will.

Esme gloats to Spencer about getting between his father and Ava. He’s more concerned about her taking the pregnancy test. She tries delaying and worries Sonny could come after her again if she’s not pregnant. If it’s negative, she will be all alone. Spencer promises that she can stay at Wyndemere no matter what the test says. After she goes in and out of the bathroom, he insists they wait for the results together. Once the clock runs down, they check the results.

At the PCPD, Chase looks at his old desk with longing.  Dante says, “Well look who it is.”  Dante asks Chase if he is glad to be back (even though his suspension is not over just yet) and Chase says he really misses the place.  Dante asks him if he is going to cry and Chase says no.  Chase says he is just there because he is helping to organize this year’s softball team.  Dante says if it were up to him, he would have reinstated Chase simply for what he did for Maxie’s baby. Chase says he just had a small role and that Brook Lynn is the real hero.  Dante has nothing nice to say about Brook Lynn and Chase calls him out on it, saying that Brook Lynn has changed.  Dante asks Chase where this is all coming from.  Chase replies that he has spent a lot of time with Brook Lynn lately and he knows that she is loving and kind.  Dante says that it is clear that Chase has developed feelings for Brook Lynn.  Chase just chalks it up to the fact that he and Brook Lynn were trapped in an extremely emotional situation with Bailey for so long.

In the interrogation room at the PCPD, Spencer grills Trina on why she made the video of Josslyn and Cameron. Trina can’t believe what she is hearing. Trina tells Spencer she is not capable of doing anything like posting that video. Spencer says he thought so at first, but now there is evidence and it points to Trina. Spencer acts as though he is convinced that Trina is guilty.  He then tells Trina that Esme may be pregnant.  Trina flashes a look of absolute disgust.  She tells Spencer she understands now why he has to look past all of the flaws in Esme’s personality and can now concentrate on every single flaw she has. Trina tells Spencer that if he can’t look her in the eye and tell her that he doesn’t believe she is capable of making the video that their friendship is over. When he can’t do so, Trina screams at him to get out and the guard in the interrogation room escorts Spencer out.  Spencer loiters around in the lobby of the PCPD and when Portia gets there she sees him.  She says that he has some nerve showing his face.  Portia tells Spencer that she will deal with him later, that she is there for her daughter.

At Deception, Lucy, Maxie and Brook Lynn hand off the final documents that will allow Deception to go public.  Lucy asked Brook Lynn why she did not get Chase to commit to sing for their IPO party.  Brook Lynn at first says she doesn’t want Chase to sing for the party, but when Chase shows up at Deception, Brook Lynn asks Chase if he would sing for the party.  She even reminds him it was one of her songs he really liked.  He says his suspension is very close to being rescinded and that he doesn’t want anything to come in the way of that and he isn’t sure that singing for a cosmetics company party would be good optics for him at this moment in time.  Brook Lynn says fine and that it is no big deal.  She is obviously hurt and she tells Chase she has to get back to work and to please shut the door on his way out.  Chase says fine and that he will see her later.

At the Metro Court, Sasha and Brando arrive for lunch.  They speak about their time away and how much they enjoyed it and then they share an intimate kiss. They run into Gladys and she wants to know all about the honeymoon. Lucy and Maxie soon join them and announce that they are planning a wedding party for the newlyweds.  Sasha looks overwhelmed and excuses herself.  Sasha is later overheard in the ladies room on the phone with her dealer trying to score more drugs. 

Portia worries that the fact that the attorney is late might be an indicator that he is not the right fit for Trina.  Curtis calms her nerves, telling her that Laura hooked them up and he is sure that they can trust her instincts.  Scott Baldwin shows up and announces that he is Trina’s attorney. Scott said that he has reviewed the case and that it is a strong one.  However, he says there are plenty of opportunities for the defense to poke holes in the prosecution’s case to cast doubt on key parts.  He reminds Portia and Curtis that in this case the burden of proof lies solely on the prosecution.  After discussing the case in detail, Scott departs for the courtroom and Portia and Curtis head to meet Trina at the PCPD jail.

At Charlie’s, Victor enters looking for Nikolas and immediately locates him.  He tells Nikolas they need to talk and Nikolas abruptly cuts him off and asks if he saw Esme.  Victor said yes he had seen her outside in the backseat of a departing car.  Nikolas quizzes Victor on who was driving, which way did the car go, what kind of car was it?  Victor didn’t notice any of this information and asks Nikolas why it is so important.  Nikolas says he had the feeling that Esme was about to share something with him, something she had previously been holding back. Victor tells him that Esme could be carrying the next Cassadine heir.  Nikolas and Victor quickly figure out that Sonny has Esme and they leave Charlie’s. Nikolas attempts to call Esme’s phone but finds it on the ground outside. 

At Sonny’s office, Sonny really turns up the heat on Esme. He tells Esme that she knows what she did and she is going to make it right.  Esme tells Sonny that the police have already arrested someone for that.  Sonny tells Esme he has very good connections at the PCPD and that he knows about Trina’s arrest. But, Sonny says that Esme is a known liar and that he hasn’t forgotten about it.  Sonny tells Esme to save everyone a lot of time and just admit that she made the video. Esme continues to fake innocence.  Which just makes Sonny more irritated. Sonny tells Esme that if she comes clean right now and makes amends to the people she has harmed, eventually people will forgive her and forget the entire situation.  

Nikolas and Victor arrive at Sonny’s office and they are stopped by Sonny’s guard but when Esme hears them talking in the restaurant she screams for Nikolas.  At that point, Esme runs out of Sonny’s office and into Nikolas’ arms. She pretends that the entire situation of being questioned by Sonny was excruciating.  Victor tells Sonny that he is putting him on notice, Sonny is not to harm any member of his family.  Victor tells Sonny that the Cassadine’s always come out on top.  Sonny tells Victor that he has gone up against dozens of men far more intimidating than him so if Victor wants to go to war, he should take the first shot. Sonny stares at Victor with deep seated hatred.

At Laura’s home, Spencer comes downstairs looking disheveled from a long night and joins Laura at the table.  She asks how he slept.  He says that he didn’t.  Spencer looks very concerned about something and Laura tells him he can tell her anything.  Spencer tells her that this is his first morning of freedom and that it is perfect.  The conversation turns serious and Spencer asks Laura if she has ever done anything wrong but didn’t realize it until it was too late. Victor ruins the moment by knocking on the door and then barging in without being invited.  Victor tells Laura and Spencer that there is something he needs to discuss with the three of them.  Laura receives a phone call from Jordan asking her to come to the PCPD as soon as possible. She plans on briefing her on the Trina situation.  Victor uses Laura’s absence to quiz Spencer on what is wrong.  Spencer tells him that Esme might be pregnant.  Victor offers to have Esme dealt with so that Spencer will not be tied down to her for the rest of her life.  Victor says that he was worried that Spencer would be obsessing over Trina’s situation. Spencer asks what he means and Victor tells him that Trina has been arrested for posting the video of Cameron and Josslyn.  Cameron says that he needs privacy and Victor leaves. Cameron goes over in his mind all the times that Esme refused to answer Spencer on whether or not she made the tape of Cameron and Josslyn.  

At the PCPD,  Jordan tells Trina that she is going to walk her through how this process will proceed.  Jordan tells Trina that in a few minutes she will be escorted to the courthouse for her arraignment.  Trina tells Jordan that she will definitely be pleading not guilty because she did not make the video or leak it online.

At Alexis’ home, Harmony is making breakfast when Sam knocks at the door and asks what she is doing there. Alexis explains that Harmony is staying with her for a little bit. Alexis tells Sam that Harmony is not taking up residence there. She is just staying there until Harmony can get her own place. As Sam leaves she tells Harmony that she hopes that everything works out for her.  She gives Harmony a most unwelcoming look making it clear that Sam does not approve of her presence there.  Alexis also makes a facial gesture that makes it look as if she is reconsidering the living arrangement.  Alexis tells Harmony that she just can’t get over how well she seems to know the layout of her home.  She says it is almost as if she has been there before without Alexis’ knowledge.  Harmony admits she has been there before.  Harmony flashes back to a memory of entering Alexis’ bedroom while everyone is asleep with a syringe.

At the Metro Court, Carly and Ava go over Avery’s schedule for extracurricular activities at school.  Ava tells Carly how much Avery loves her time with Carly.  Sonny walks up and tells them that Trina has just been arrested for making the video of Cameron and Josslyn. Ava and Carly are not having it, Carly says they all know who made that video and then she and Ava say “Esme” in unison.  Carly says that Trina would never do that to Cameron and Josslyn. Ava says that she works very closely with Trina and she wouldn’t trust her anymore if she were her own daughter. Ava starts to leave and Carly asks where she is going. Ava says that she is going to make sure someone pays for this.  

Sonny tells Carly that Josslyn has been his stepdaughter for many years and he says that if he hadn’t heard about Trina’s arrest from Dante he would have probably learned about it from the Invader article.  Carly says that if Josslyn didn’t tell Sonny about the situation that is not her business. Sonny tells Carly that he will take care of Esme.  Ava comes by Sonny’s office and she tells him that Esme framed Trina and that she is sure Sonny has already figured that out.  Sonny has of course, and he has already asked for Spinelli’s help in clearing up the matter.

At the Metro Court, Carly and Sam speak about Monica’s legal moves to have Jason declared legally dead. Carly says that she feels they are moving on to quickly.  Sam tells Carly that they have to try to move on.

Esme sits at a table at Charlie’s, gloating over the article that says Trina has been arrested.  Nikolas arrives and tells her that her new digs must suit her.  She says that the accommodations are fine.  Nikolas and Esme talk about Spencer and she becomes more exasperated as the conversation continues.  She finally tells Nikolas that she needs some fresh air. Esme is again reading the article about Trina outside Charlie’s on the bench when she is startled by an unseen person.  Esme is later seen being pushed into a chair in Sonny’s office by one of his men.

Sonny looks at Esme and says, “Esme, nice of you to join me.”
