Repent, Then Recant





 
       Screencaps from Lisa's GH Screencaps. 

Spencer Up!

    Dante asks Sonny to watch Rocco while he goes up to British Columbia to confront Lulu and Dillon.  Luke tells Lulu that Ethan was also kidnapped.  Laura and Holly receive a disturbing picture from the captors.  Liz panics when Jake turns down Nikolas's job offer.  "Denise" shows up at the Q mansion and demands to see Crypt Baby Avery.  Sabrina and Michael tell "Denise" where she'll have to go to see the baby. 

    SONNY'S HOUSE

      DANTE:  Hi little sis!  Please tell me she hasn't been kidnapped AGAIN! 
      SONNY:  It's all legit, Dante.  Michael returned her to me last night. 
      DANTE:  The things you miss when you find out your wife's been a-cheatin'.  
      SONNY:  Say WHAAAAAAAAAAAT?   Lulu wouldn't cheat on you.  She's nuts about you? 
      DANTE:  She's having an affair with Dillon Quartermaine.   I followed her to the Q mansion where Dillon greeted her wearing only a towel and then they took off. 
      SONNY:  Did you ask Lulu what was up? 
      DANTE:  She claimed she was helping her grandmother in Italy.  I did a little research and she LIED.  She fled the country with him and they're sharing a hotel room in British Columbia.  If that doesn't scream AFFAIR, then I don't know what does.  I was so pissed off at Lulu I revenge-kissed her cousin Valerie.  
      SONNY:  Revenge kissing?  Are you streaming Southwest General from your desk at the PCPD?
      DANTE:  Valerie talked me out of letting it go any further.  But I need a favor.  Watch Rocco while I go confront Lulu and that son of a bitch she's sleeping with.  
      SONNY:  Now you're speaking my language.   Playdates with babies and toddlers are what I'm all about.  

     HOTEL IN BRITISH COLUMBIA

      LUKE:  Now that was some menage a trois!  
      LAURA:  Very funny, Luke.  We're still missing Lucky. 
      HOLLY:  And Ethan.  
      LUKE:  And we're sick of waiting!  
      AUDIENCE:  SO ARE WE!  
      HOLLY:  I have an idea.  Maybe it's all connected to you, Luke.  After all, Ethan and Lucky are both YOUR sons. 
      LUKE:  You're right.  It IS all my fault.  I better make sure Lulu hasn't been kidnapped too. 

     LULU & DILLON'S ROOM

       DILLON:  I revised my script.  My cinematic persona is new and improved, with all new flaws!  
       LULU:  I hate lying to Dante. 
       DILLON:  Want to read what my flaws are?  
       LULU:  I hate lying to Dante.  
       LUKE:  I had to make sure you hadn't been kidnapped like Lucky and Ethan. 
       LULU:  ETHAN is kidnapped too?   OMG!  OMG!  OMG!  
       LUKE:  You can be scared for 5 seconds, starting now.   Then, it's time to Spencer up! 

      SABRINA'S APARTMENT

       MICHAEL:  I miss AJ. 
       SABRINA:  Let's have some more sex.
       MICHAEL:  Sounds like a plan.  

      Q MANSION

        TRACY:  Ever heard of knocking?
        AVA/"DENISE":   The doah was wide open!
        TRACY:  What do you want?
        AVA/"DENISE":  I wanna to see mah niece.  Didn't Michael tell ya?  Wheah is he? 
        TRACY:  Do I look like I strap a GPS to my nephew?  
        AVA/"DENISE":  What's yoah problem, lady?   I just wanna see dat cute li'l baby. 
        TRACY:  I don't think so.  Circus Circus called.  They're missing one of their acts.  You'd better head on back before you get upstaged by an elephant.  
        
         KELLY'S

         NIKOLAS:  Say, Jake, what do you think about staying on at ELQ and working for me?  Take a look at these numbers. 
         JAKE:  Say, Nikolas, how about HELL NO!  I wouldn't work for you if it were the last job on earth.  I'd go back to work with Julian Jerome before I went to work for you. 
         NIKOLAS:  But I paid for your brain surgery! 
         JAKE:  So now you 're my keeper?  Sorry, CassaSLIME!  You'll have to find yourself a new head of security.  What's your grandmother doing these days?  
          NIKOLAS:  Fine, if you don't want to work for me, I won't shed a tear.   Good luck making those kind of numbers anywhere else.  
          JAKE:  You're going down, man.  The Qs are going to get ELQ back and I'm gonna help them do it.   Lets' get out of here, Uhlizabeth.  
          LIZ:  You go.  You need your space.  I need to talk to my good friend Nikolas. 
          JAKE:  Yeah, yeah, I know.  You and that rat bastard go way back.  

          LUKE & LAURA'S HOTEL ROOM

         LAURA:  We don't have to hate each other, Holly.  Let's bury the hatchet.  
         HOLLY:  Okay.  For the record, I had no idea Luke was married when I conceived Ethan with him.  
          LAURA:  See!  We can let bygones be bygones and team up to save our sons.  
          VOICE:  Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be hostages!  
          HOLLY:  Come on, just tell us where our sons are!  
          VOICE:  Open the door and you shall see.  
          AUDIENCE:  (Eyeroll) 
           LAURA:  (takes paper out of envelope found outside the room)  OMG!  They're bound and gagged! 
           LULU:  Have no fear, Mom!  I have decided to Spencer up!   

          Q MANSION

         MICHAEL: Denise, what are you doing here?  
         AVA/"DENISE":  I cawled and left a message.  I wanna see my niece NOW! 
         MICHAEL:  She's not here.  I gave her back to Sonny last night.   She's with her father now. 
         AVA/"DENISE":  CRAP!  

          OUTSIDE LULU & DILLON'S ROOM

          DANTE:  (sees clothes strewn all over the bed and no Lulu or Dillon) CRAP!  
          HOTEL EMPLOYEE:  Was anyone hurt?  
          DANTE:  Not physically.   

          SONNY'S HOUSE

          AVA/DENISE:  Surprise!  
          SONNY:  SON OF A BITCH!!!!!

The Waiting Game

     Luke and Laura find out that Lucky just might have company in captivity when Holly tells them Ethan has also been snatched.   While Dillon and Lulu bide their time after being banished to their hotel room by L & L, Dante finds himself getting close with Valerie.  Sonny and Carly have an unexpected visitor give them some very good news.  Nina almost catches Madeline in her suite when Ric convinces her to join him downstairs at the restaurant.   Morgan warns "Denise" to stay away from Franco.

     HOTEL IN BRITISH COLUMBIA

    LAURA:  (to herself) Just great!  Another one of Luke's ex-lovers comes crashing our rescue Lucky mission!  If Luke and I were actually getting back together, I might be a little jealous.  (to Holly) Holly Sutton, what the hell are you doing here, all ready to blow our brains out?   If you'll excuse us, we're trying to rescue our son.
    HOLLY:  What a coincidence!  So am I.
    LUKE:  Ethan's been nabbed too?
    HOLLY:  Well, duh!   I found this matchbook among the ransacked debris in his flat so naturally I came here.  
    LUKE:  We were lured here by Jennifer Smith.   I was tricked into a roll in the sack with her, but I was too drunk to do the deed.  Not like it would have helped.  She doesn't have Lucky and she doesn't know where he is either.
    HOLLY:  So she was just trying to trick you into having sex?  Go figure!  What a cow!
    LUKE:  Actually, she referred to ME as the cow, but that's beside the point.  We need to find our sons before whatever sick bastard has them does them in.  

    DANTE & LULU'S APARTMENT

     DANTE:  Valerie, you are looking mighty kissable right now.  (kisses Valerie)
     VALERIE:  OMG, we can't do this!
      DANTE:  Why the hell not?   My wife is cheating on me with Dillon and this is Port Chuckles.  Whenever someone's husband, wife, girlfriend, boyfriend, whatever, is having an affair, that person has the right to kiss someone else because revenge affairs are what it's all about.
      VALERIE:  Dante, do you want to be just as wrong as Lulu?  You're totally going to regret this if we take things any further.
      DANTE:  But...but...the eye sex was SO GOOD!
      VALERIE:  I should go back to Wyndemere.
      DANTE:  I'm sorry, Valerie.  I don't want things to be weird between us.   Can we pretend this kiss never happened?
      VALERIE:  That sounds like a good idea.   But I really need to get back home before Nikolas turns my room into ELQ office space.
       DANTE:  I'm really sorry for freaking you out.
   
     DILLON & LULU'S HOTEL ROOM IN BRITISH COLUMBIA

     DILLON:  So, how riveting is my Best Original Screenplay?
     LULU:  Um, hello?  I'm still reading it.
     DILLON:  Are you on page 10 yet?  If you've read past page 10, then it's all golden.
     LULU:  These Declan and Marjorie people have some serious issues.   Where does the couples counselor come in?
     DILLON:  Full disclosure:  Declan is me.  Marjorie is my ex, after I lost Georgie.   She really screwed with me, man.
     LULU:  If Declan is you, then you're a narcissist.
     DILLON:  Fine, I'll give him a flaw or two.
     LULU:  How about three?
     DILLON:  Don't get carried away.

    SONNY'S HOUSE

      MICHAEL:  Sonny, I've been doing some thinking.  Well, Sabrina did most of the thinking, actually. But I have something, I mean, someONE,who belongs with you.  
      SONNY:  Come to Papa, Avery!
      CARLY:  OMG, Michael, you are really bringing Avery, I mean AJ, back to her father?
      MICHAEL:  Yes, Mom, I am giving Avery back to Sonny.
      CARLY:  Not to look a gift baby in the mouth, but what brought this on?  Does it have something to do with how cruelly Nikolas RIPPED ELQ away from you?
      MICHAEL:  Sort of.  Lucy Coe sided with Nikolas because she didn't like what I did to you, Sonny.  She didn't like that I took your daughter away from you.   So, Sabrina and I got to talking and, well, I'm gonna miss that adorable little baby sister of mine.
      CARLY:  Michael, I am SO proud of you.  You are the BESTEST son ever!
      MICHAEL:  I'm gonna miss you...Avery.  Now you be a good little Crypt Baby for your dad, and Sonny, you better protect her.
      SONNY:  I'll be her human shield, Michael.  I promise!

    NINA'S SUITE

      NINA:  OMG, Franco has a girlfriend.
      RIC:  You can do one better than that.  You have a HUSBAND.
      NINA:  Did you bust my hateful, coma-inducing mother out of jail?
      RIC:  Me?  Spring that evil bitch out of the slammer?  Are you kidding me?
      MADELINE:  (to herself, as she lurks around the corner)  Ouch!  
      NINA:  I didn't think so. 
      MADELINE:  (to herself) Still crazy.
      NINA: I'm going to call it a night.   Let's go to bed, husband.
      RIC:  (to himself) Can't let her see her mother in the same fuzzy MetroCourt robe as me. (to Nina) No, Nina!   It's too early!  Let's go back down to the restaurant.   I've worked up an appetite.
      NINA:  I don't think so.  Not with Franco and his new Ava Jerome lookalike girlfriend sharing lipstick and gum and God knows what else.
       RIC:  Come on, Nina!  There's no reason to be insecure when you got a hot lawyer hubby like me!

     METROCOURT

       MORGAN:  Denise, you need to stay away from Franco.  He's bad news.  Very bad news.  Did you hear what he did to my mom?
       AVA/"DENISE":  How am I supposed ta stop makin' out with you if I can't make out with him?
       MORGAN:  There are other fish in the sea, Denise.
       AVA/"DENISE":  Relax, cutie-pants!  I'm just havin' a little fun with dis fella with da kooky ex-girlfriend.   Besides, he's a fun guy.
        MORGAN:  That's funGUS, Denise.  Franco is a fungus.

        KIKI:  Franco, be good to my aunt Denise, okay?   Don't use her just to get over nutty Nina.
        FRANCO:  What?  Me?  Hurt someone?
        KIKI:  Yeah, you're right.  Have fun with my auntie.  She's WAY better for you than Nina.
    
        FRANCO:  Nina at eight o' clock!  Let's suck face!  (Makes out with Ava/"Denise")
        NINA:  Would you LOOK at those two?  (Grabs Ric and kisses him)
        MORGAN:  And here everyone thinks Kiki and I are immature!

        RIC:  I have a little document here that can protect your money from your vulture of a mother.  Just sign on the dotted line.
        MADELINE: (to herself, lurking at the entrance to the restaurant):  Good boy!  Go easy on the name calling, though.  I'm beginning to feel disrespected.  
        NINA:  Here you go (signs the paper)
       MADELINE:  (to herself) Good girl!  You'll be in a better place for this, Nina.

        SABRINA'S APARTMENT

        MICHAEL:  I miss AJ already.
        SABRINA:  Me too.
        MICHAEL:  I can't stop thinking about her.
        SABRINA:  Let's have sex.
        MICHAEL:  That'll help.

        SONNY'S HOUSE

        SONNY:  If I didn't know any better, Carly, I'd think this little cutie is related to you.  She's talking a blue streak!
        CARLY:  Ha ha!  I would be a WAY better mother than Ava ever could be.  She has your eyes, Sonny.
        SONNY:  And before long, she'll have my wicked barware-throwing arm!
        AVERY:  Oh good grief!  Am I the most confused eight-month-old in the history of this town or what?  Wait 'til whoever my daddy is has to pay my therapy bill!  

       HOTEL IN BRITISH COLUMBIA

     VOICE ON PHONE:  All will be revealed tomorrow.
      LUKE, LAURA, & HOLLY:  CRAP!  More waiting!

POTUS Interruptus

    The last 20 minutes of GH were interrupted by the POTUS for the memorial of the victims of the Charleston shooting and I'm not even pissed off about the interruption.   The fact that Obama broke into song didn't hurt :)   As soon as I can see the full eppy, I'll blog about it, but in the meantime, may the victims of such a senseless act of violence rest in peace.

RECANT!

   Nikolas confronts Rosalie on her betrayal of him but offers her a way to, at least somewhat, redeem herself.  Ava/Denise tracks Silas down at the hospital and threatens to ditch the Denise act if she can't see Avery.  Ric and Madeline scheme to get their hands on Nina's money.  Nina runs into Franco at the MetroCourt.  Sonny rips Morgan for cozying up to Denise again.   Sabrina comforts Michael after he loses ELQ. 

       ELQ OFFICE

        NIKOLAS:  RECANT your statement to the police, Rosalie!  RECANT! 
        ROSALIE:  I CAN'T reCANT! 
        NIKOLAS:  You CAN RECANT and you WILL RECANT or I'll throw you in my special dungeon on Cassadine Island with Mad Granny and a chupacabra or two.  
        ROSALIE:  I gave my statement to stay out of trouble with the cops. 
        NIKOLAS:  And you will RECANT that statement to stay out of trouble with ME!   If you don't RECANT, your secret will be on the front page of the Port Charles Press for all to see.  So do what's best and RECANT right now.  
        ROSALIE:  Fine,  dammit.  I'll RECANT.   (to herself) Another year, another tyrannical boss. 

       SABRINA'S APARTMENT

        MICHAEL:  Woe is me.  I let ELQ slip away from me and my great grandfather is pounding his head against his coffin as we speak. 
        SABRINA:  How did Nikolas end up taking over with only 50%?  
        MICHAEL:  Beware the wrath of Lucy Coe.  She voted with Nikolas because I pissed off Duke and took AJ away from Sonny.   She called me "immature".  
        SABRINA:  See if she gets ME to perform at next year's Nurses' Ball!  
        MICHAEL:  I sorta kinda want to un-disown Sonny and Carly.  
        SABRINA:  Here's an idea:  Give your father his daughter back.  
        MICHAEL:  Say WHAAAAAAAAAAAT? 

        METROCOURT

         KIKI:  Franco!  I never thought I'd see you outside of a loony bin!  
         FRANCO:  Is that you, Kiki?  Is there some leftover LSD in my brain or are you taller and blonder than I remember?  
          KIKI:  You look a little more sane than I remember, so we're even. 

        NINA'S SUITE

          MADELINE:   Where's my MONEY?  
          RIC:  Impatient much?  
          MADELINE:  Funds are tight, Mr. Lansing, and the maintenance of my rich bitch persona is by definition not cheap.  
          RIC:  I'm working on it.  I thought I'd get Nina drunk and have her sign her money over to me. 
          MADELINE:  Just how do I get my hands on my share?  
          RIC:  Um, I don't know, kill Nina?  
          MADELINE:  LIKE HELL!   (Slaps Ric something fierce)
          RIC:  Or we can always commit her again.  
          MADELINE:  That works.  She's still as bonkers as ever.   But you'd better show me MY money before you go throwing my daughter in the nuthouse. 
          RIC:  You're not going to let this money thing go are you? 
          MADELINE:  There is a way to make me a wee bit more patient.  (Kisses Ric) 

         SONNY'S HOUSE

          CARLY:  Poor Michael!   Nikolas is putting him through HELL!  
          MORGAN:  It's not place he hasn't already been, at least according to you, Mom. 
          CARLY:  Morgan, don't you DARE disparage my FAVORITEST SON! 

          HOSPITAL

           AVA/"DENISE":  Guess who, Silas?
           SILAS:  (to himself) CRAP!  (to Ava/"Denise") If you're not bleeding or if you don't have any broken bones, get lost!  I'm doing my JOB here.  
            AVA/"DENISE":   This fella looks healthy and I have sumpin' URGENT to tawk to you about!   
           SILAS:  (to patient):  Sorry about that and take care!  (to Ava/"Denise")  What fresh hell?
           AVA/"DENISE":  This Denise act isn't working.  Michael is making me MAKE AN APPOINTMENT to see Avery!   It's time Ava Jerome came back in town to set that pompous kid straight.
          SILAS:  And get us both thrown in the pokey?  
          AVA/"DENISE":  But I wanna see my baaaaaaaaaaby, Silas!   And I got a little hot to trot again with Morgan, thank you very much! 
          SILAS:  You know what, Ava?  This is me throwing my hands up in the air, then washing them of you.  You're on your own. 

         METROCOURT

         NINA:  What did you SAY about my MOTHER, Franco?  
         KIKI:  Hello?  Since when is my conversation with Franco any of YOUR business, NINA? 
         NINA:  Give it a rest, KIKI! 
         FRANCO:  We were just discussing how your mom's been busted out of lockup.  
         NINA:  Liar! 
         FRANCO:  It's true.  I saw her looking all non-prisony the other day at the hospital. 
         NINA:  How the hell did she get out? 
         FRANCO:  She had one helluva lawyer.  Goes by the name of Ric Lansing.  You know him?  Oh, that's right, YOU'RE MARRIED TO HIM!  
         NINA:  Give it a rest, FRANCO! 
         FRANCO:  I've moved on from you, Nina.  In fact, I have a hot date tonight.  
         NINA:  So you and Auntie Liesl are making it official.  How cute.  

         SONNY'S HOUSE

         MORGAN:  I kinda almost had sex with Denise in Michael's office. 
         SONNY:   Son, you've got a problem.  
         MORGAN:  And to top that off, Rosalie walked in on us in a state of partial undress. 
         SONNY:  You never learn do you?   Stay AWAY from Denise.  She's got Ava Jerome 2.0 written all over her.  I'm not completely sure she's not Ava 1.0. 
         MORGAN:  She's Ava's twin.  It's almost like they're the same person.  
         SONNY:  And if Rosalie has her way, Julian Jerome will put your stupidity on the front page of the paper tomorrow. 
         MORGAN:  Rosalie and I have been tight ever since she threw her cell phone and it hit me on the head. 
         SONNY:  That explains a lot. 
        
         METROCOURT

         KIKI:  Denise! 
        AVA/"DENISE":  Sweet Kiki!  Who's ya friend? 
         KIKI:  Carly, this is my aunt Denise.  Denise, this is Carly.  She owns this place. She's Morgan and Michael's mom.
        AVA/"DENISE":  Moahgan's a chahmer, but dat Michael, he's a piece a work!  He won't let me see my own li'l niece without an appointment. 
         CARLY:  What can I say?  He's cautious.   You really do look like Ava.  
         AVA/"DENISE":  You knew huh? 
         CARLY:  Couldn't stand the bitch. 
         AVA/"DENISE":  Watch it!  That's mah sistah youah tawkin' about! 

         NINA:  So, who's the mystery lady? 
         FRANCO:  What's it to YOU?  
         NINA:  I get it.  You have a George Glass of your own. 
         FRANCO:  I don't swing that way, Nina.  If I have a George Glass, her name would be Georgette.   Or Georgia, or Georgie, or Georgina.  Look, there she is!  
         NINA:  Who? 
         FRANCO:  (points to Ava/"Denise") The brunette over there.  That's her.

Back To Square One



   Luke and Laura are stunned when Jennifer reveals she doesn't know where Lucky is.  Jordan vents to Valerie about Sonny coming to TJ's rescue.  Dante catches Lulu in a secret rendezvous with Dillon.  Lulu and Dillon decide to leave The Chuckles to try to find Lucky themselves.  Sonny offers to let TJ stay with him and he reluctantly accepts, much to Jordan’s chagrin.   Lucy explains to the Qs why she vote in favor of Nikolas. 

    HOTEL IN BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA
  LAURA:  Let me in there, you stupid goons!   Fine, I’ll let myself in.  Having time on your hands to take mixed martial arts classes has its benefits.  
  JENNIFER:  Bad news, Laura, dear.  Luke didn’t hold up his end of the bargain, so no Lucky for you! 
  LAURA:   Luke, what happened? 
  LUKE:  I passed out drunk, that’s what happened!    
  JENNIFER:  Too bad you can’t hold your alcohol.  
  LUKE:   You were as drunk as I was, which means you didn’t want to do this either.   By the way, I only agreed to marry you because your dad made me. 
  JENNIFER:  Say WHAAAAAAAAAT?  
  LUKE:  Sorry about that, by the way.  Now where’s my SON?  
  JENNIFER:  About that, I was totally trolling you.   I don’t have the foggiest idea where Lucky is.  
  LUKE & LAURA:  Say WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?  

   DANTE & LULU’S APARTMENT
   DANTE:  Say, Lulu, keeping any good SECRETS lately?  
   LULU:  I was just talking to Maxie.  Best friends always have secrets. 
   DANTE:  Okay, then.   (fingers crossed behind back) I’m off to work then.  
   LULU:  Have a super awesome day and stay at least three feet away from Valerie at all times. 

    Q MANSION
   NIKOLAS:  You know, Dillon, I could still finance that movie of yours if you hate me just a little less for taking over ELQ. 
   DILLON:  Screw you, Nikolas!   I’d rather be a starving director the rest of my life than take money from a smarmy ass like you.  
   NIKOLAS:  It’s your career. 
   DILLON:  Find someone else to buy with guilt money and get out of my face.  

     PCPD
    JORDAN:  Why did it have to be Sonny Corinthos who got my son off the hook?  
    VALERIE:  But aren’t you, I don’t know, RELIEVED that TJ isn’t going to jail?  
    JORDAN:  Of course I am, but what consolation is it if TJ and I are in debt to the Godfather of Port Chuckles?  I had to lock my son up in a JAIL CELL overnight and I couldn’t even sit near him at his trial.  Sonny comes sweeping in and saves the day, pushing my son out of my arms and into the mob.  
    VALERIE:  What if TJ is not into the mobbing thing?   Sonny can’t pull him in if he says “Thanks, but no thanks”. 
    JORDAN:  Girl, you’ve got a lot to learn about The Lure of Sonny Corinthos.  

   ELQ OFFICE
  TRACY:  Alright, Lucy.  Give it to us straight.  Why did you vote against us yesterday? 
  LUCY:  Two words:  Duke Lavery. 
  TRACY:  What does Duke have to do with any of this? 
  LUCY:  Duke was very close to Sonny and when Michael wrenched his baby sister away from his father, it broke Duke’s heart just as much as it did Sonny’s.   Therefore, I have an axe to grind with Michael and I hereby support Nikolas. 
 TRACY:  Now I’ve heard it all.   Lucy, are you seriously saying that you would rather see MY DADDY’S COMPANY in CASSADINE hands all because Michael hurt Duke Lavery’s feelings?  
 LUCY:   I am very serious.   Nikolas is mature and how to do all that business stuff. 
 NIKOLAS:  I’m inclined to agree, Lucy.   Now, Michael, I have some bad news for you.  Your days as CEO are numbered.   The number, I’m afraid, is zero.  I call a vote to remove Michael Quartermaine as CEO and install yours truly.  All in favor, say aye.  
 TRACY:  Michael helped rebuild this company.  NAY! 
 MICHAEL:  NAY! 
 NIKOLAS:  It all comes down to you again, Lucy.  
 LUCY:  AYE! 
 NIKOLAS:  Thanks for playing, Michael, but you lost.  
 TRACY:  All you Cassadines and Cassadine sympathizers can GO TO HELL! 

 METROCOURT
   TJ:  Did you know Duke wanted my mom dead?  
  SONNY:  I was kinda busy trying to keep my daughter at the time, TJ, so I left it all up to Duke.  
   TJ:  So you had no idea?  
   SONNY:  None whatsoever. 
   TJ:  By the way, I tore up Duke’s guilt money check.  
  SONNY:  So how are you putting a roof over your head. 
  TJ:  I’m shacking up with Molly while Alexis is busy shacking up with Julian. 
  SONNY:  You’re moving in with me, kid. 
  TJ:  I couldn’t do that, Mr. C. 
  SONNY:  Shawn told me to look out for you, so you are too moving in with me.   You’re also taking my money to cover your legal bills and your tuition. 
  TJ:  Thanks, Mr. C. 
  SONNY:  That’s Sonny, TJ.  Since we’ll be roomies and all, you can call me Sonny. 
  JORDAN:  Over my dead body. 
  TJ:  Mom, what are you doing here?  Don’t you get that I’m still pissed at you? 
  JORDAN:  I know you’re upset, Thomas.                      
  TJ:   By the way, I ripped up Duke’s check and I’m going to be living with Mr—I mean Sonny. 
 JORDAN:  I don’t think so, Thomas.  You’re going to live with me. 
  TJ:  Last I checked, I’m over 18, which means I can decide where I live.  

  Q MANSION
  LULU:  OMG, Dillon, I have to talk to you
  DANTE:  (to himself) CRAP! 
  DILLON:  What’s up, Lulu?  Did you hear something about Lucky? 
  LULU: I talked to Mom and she sounded really weird.  I think she might be going crazy and I think Dad might be going crazy too.  I need to go help them find Lucky! 
  DILLON:  Wow, you’re really freaked out.  I’m coming with you. 
  LULU:  Don’t you have a family legacy to save?  
  DILLON:  Lulu, this is someone’s life on the line and from what you’re saying it might not be just Lucky’s. 
   LULU:  What do I tell Dante? 

    PCPD
 DANTE:  So I followed Lulu and guess where she went?   Right into Dillon’s arms and he wasn’t wearing a shirt.  You were right about them keeping a secret. 
 VALERIE:  For what it’s worth, I didn’t want to be.  
 DANTE:  Dillon and Lulu have a history.  He got her pregnant when they were teenagers. 
 VALERIE:  Really?  And here I thought they were just friends. 
 DANTE:  (answering phone) Lulu, what’s going on?  
 LULU:  (over phone) It’s poor Grandma Lesley.  She’s in Europe and she broke her ankle and has no one to help her.   I’m her namesake, so I have to be the one to drop everything and make sure she doesn’t mix up her Percocet and her Prilosec.  
 DANTE:  Wouldn’t want that to happen to Grandma.  When are you coming back? 
 LULU:  Whenever Grandma’s back on her feet again.   Bye Dante.  Love you.

Emergency Board Meeting

   The Qs gather to try to oust Nikolas from his voting rights at ELQ and meet with a surprising obstacle.  Valerie tells Dante that Lulu and Dillon are keeping a secret from him.  Maxie senses something's off with her bestie and she wants to know what it is.   Liz feels squirmy when she, Jake, Patrick, and Sam have dinner together.  Her secrets and lies are hitting awfully close to home.   Jennifer brings up a sensitive moment from Luke and Laura's past to negotiate her get-lucky-for-Lucky scheme with Luke. 

    PCPD

           VALERIE:  Dante, I have something important, yet super-awkward to tell you.  
           DANTE:  What is it?  
           VALERIE:  Never mind. 
           DANTE:  Come on, Valerie, you gotta tell me now that you set it up and all.  You met with Lulu didn't you. 
           VALERIE:  Yeah, that went fine.  
            DANTE:  And?  
            VALERIE:  And nothing. 
             DANTE:  Wrong answer.  Come on, Valerie.  Out with it. 
            VALERIE:  I saw Lulu and Dillon being all huggy and hush-hush about some secret.   A secret they are keeping for YOU!  OMG, now Lulu is going to hate me for telling you. 
             DANTE:  My wife is keeping a secret from me?  
            VALERIE:  I'm sure it's nothing.  You said she and Dillon were just friends, right?   They're probably just confessing to being closet Red Sox fans.  

       Q MANSION

          LUCY:  OMG, Dillon, is your mother getting back together with Luke?   I knew something hinky was going on at that engagement party because the moon was in the seventh house and Jupiter was aligned with Mars.   Dang that Laura anyway.   Check out my diamonds.   Diamonds are a girl's best friend.  Or so said Marilyn Monroe.  So sad what happened to her, isn't it?  
         DILLON:  Lucy, I didn't call you about my mom and Luke getting back together.  I called you because you are our only hope of saving ELQ from a certain royally pompous interloper. 
         LUCY:  YOU?  Interested in ELQ?   Mercury must be in retrograde!  
         DILLON:  It's my FAMILY, Lucy.   I came back to town to look out for my mom because she's been having a helluva year thanks to her ex-fiance driving her to hell and back. 

       DANTE & LULU'S APARTMENT

         MAXIE:  I come bearing CUPCAKES!  
         LULU:  (to herself) Cupcakes?  Why must you make me think about Daddy and his affectionate name for me at a time where they are risking their lives to save my brother but I can't tell anybody about it, not even Dante!  (to Maxie) How about What's Up-cakes?   You want something.  
         MAXIE:  I want to make it up to you for being all vigilante bestie with Valerie, though I can't say she didn't deserve it, staying within 3 feet of Dante at all times.  
         LULU:  She came by and told me that she and Dante are just friends.  Just like me and Dillon.  
         MAXIE:  Hold the phone!  You've been hanging out with DILLON?  
         LULU:  As friends. 
         MAXIE:  What's wrong, Lulu?  You have a something's wrong look on your face.  
         LULU:  I plead the fifth.  
         MAXIE:  Come ON, Lulu!  I'm your BFF!   If you can't tell ME then who CAN you tell?   I swear, it will only stay between us...and Nathan.  I tell Nathan everything.  
         LULU:  The best thing you can do is not know.  

        TRIPLE L DINER

       LAURA:  It's all about the sex for you, isn't it, Jennifer?   You're holding my son hostage so you can have a one-night stand with Luke.  Talk about pathetic! 
       JENNIFER:  I can hardly expect YOU to understand, LAURA.  Luke and I go way back. 
       LUKE:  All the way to the Carter administration.  Which, not so coincidentally, is how far I go back with Laura.  
        JENNIFER:  I've had a lot of guys in my day, many of whom found themselves on the wrong side of the law.  When your daddy's a crime lord, things like that tend to happen.  Anyway, Luke, you were my first love and I can't go on with my life until we do the deed.   So are you in?  
         LUKE:  What?  Right here?  Right now?  
        JENNIFER:  Are you kidding me?  We'll get a room.   You help me get lucky, I'll help you get Lucky.  
         LUKE:  Fine, I'll do it.  
         LAURA:  Say WHAAAAAAAAAAAT? 

          METROCOURT

         JAKE:  Wanna know my secret weapon?   This here recording device!  Cameron did me a solid and uploaded the latest from T-Swizzle, but as far as Rosalie knew, it was a recording of her little transaction with Nina.  
         SAM:  T-Swizzle?   Excuse me while I die laughing.  
         JAKE:  Come on, Sam!  T-Swizzle is in the Hizzle, or do you not speak Snoop Dogg? 
         SAM:  I'll have to brush up.   So do you have any other little-known Jake Doe tidbits you'd like to fill me in on? 
          JAKE:  I've got some pretty sweet dance moves (demonstrates some moves for Sam)
          PATRICK:  Are we tardy to the party?  
          SAM:  We were just hanging out and having drinks. 
          LIZ:  (to herself) Well THIS is awkward.  (to Jake) I thought you and Sam were on the outs, with her spying on ELQ and all.  
          SAM:  It turns out we were on the same side all along.  We were both trying to figure out who was REALLY trying to help my greedy cousin Nikolas take the company over.  
          LIZ:  (to herself) CRAP! 
          PATRICK:  Elizabeth and I have had a long day in the O.R. but the patient is still in the land of the living, so we thought we'd unwind with some drinks too.   As a matter of fact, how's about dinner?  
          JAKE:  Let's do it.  
          LIZ:  (to herself) I'd rather stick a fork in my eye. (to Patrick)  You don't have to go to the trouble.  
          PATRICK:  What trouble?  We're already here.   Let's grab some grub. 

          ELQ OFFICE

           NIKOLAS:  It's a touch pedestrian, but it will do. 
           TRACY:  Screw you, Nikolas!   Screw you and your underhanded attempt to take over my daddy's company.  
            NIKOLAS:  This chair is comfortable, but I could always upgrade.  
            MICHAEL:  Get your royal ass out of my chair.  
            NIKOLAS:  Did anyone ever tell you Quartermaines how to lose gracefully?
            TRACY:  You are betraying your dear, beloved Emily.
            NIKOLAS:  Since when do you care about Emily?   Certainly not while she was alive. 
            TRACY:  She was still my family, Nikolas, and she would be spinning in her grave if she knew what you've been up to.  There is no such thing as a "Good Cassadine".  

            METROCOURT

            SAM:  I really thought I knew Nikolas, but it turns out he's a Cassadine through and through.   Don't you hate when that happens?  
            JAKE:  Yeah, that sucks.   Nothing worse than being lied to.  
            PATRICK:  How about a toast!  To having trustworthy friends. 
            LIZ:  (to herself) Any more of this awkwardness and my head is going to EXPLODE!

          ELQ OFFICE

           NIKOLAS:  Tracy, what are you doing at this emergency ELQ meeting?  Remember what you did with YOUR voting stock?
           TRACY:  I'm Monica's proxy, so put that in your smug little pipe and smoke it.  
           MICHAEL:  All in favor of voting the creepy, kooky Cassadine out of ELQ say "Aye" 
           TRACY:  Aye
           MICHAEL:  Aye
           DILLON:  Aye
           NIKOLAS:  Nay
           LUCY:  Nay. 
           TRACY, MICHAEL, DILLON:  Say WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT?  
           NIKOLAS:  Thank you, Lucy.  You want the universe in perfect alignment, you've got it.  Never underestimate the powers of a Cassadine.  After all, my grandfather froze an entire planet.
