The Case of The Silenced Silas

     Morgan comforts Kiki when she shows up at Carly's.  Nina has some visitors at Shadybrook in Ric and Nathan.  Franco calls in Dr. Obrecht and tells her he found Nina at the scene of the crime.  Sam confronts Hayden about her memory loss while Jake is much more sympathetic to the recently-comatose woman.  Liz asks Nikolas if he had anything to do with Hayden's shooting.   Dante questions "Denise" about her relationships with Silas and Franco.

         LIZ'S BEDROOM

         LIZ:  Does it make me a terrible person if I don't want you to get your memory back?
         JAKE:  On a scale of 1 to Helena Cassadine, all I can say is it's a little tiny bit closer to 1.
         LIZ:  (to herself) Phew!   Now I'm in SLIGHTLY less trouble when it all hits the fan.  (to Jake) Good to hear.   You're such an understanding guy, Jake.
       
         CARLY'S HOUSE

         MORGAN:  OMG, Kiki!  You have that I-know-my-Dad's-dead look on your face.  I'm so sorry!
         KIKI:  Franco did it!   I ran into him right outside the door and he kept trying to distract me from going in and when I went in, he already knew Dad was dead.   Then he snatched my phone so I wouldn't call the cops, but I snatched it back.  The MURDER WEAPON was in his BAG!  
         MORGAN:  Color me shocked.   But I know you, for some weird reason like him being your fake dad, were close to him so I'm sorry your fake dad killed your real dad.   That's gotta suck big time.
         KIKI:  But why did he do it?   That's what I don't get.  Why did Franco kill my dad? 
         MORGAN:  Hell if I know.

         NATHAN:  You were caught at the crime scene with the murder weapon in your bag and a partial fingerprint on the weapon.  What do you have to say for yourself, Franco? 
         FRANCO:   That I suck at covering my tracks? 
         NATHAN:   I wouldn't be so glib if I were you.  You're in deep trouble, Franco.  
         FRANCO:   Where have I heard that before?  By the way, you owe me a phone call.

         DANTE:  What about your relationship with Franco?   Weren't you two a thing? 
         AVA/"DENISE":  We had a fake fling and swapped ABC gum a few times.  That's awl there was to it.   What's Franco got to do with any of this?

          HOSPITAL

          SAM:  'Fess up, Hayden!   You're faking your amnesia and you are holding out on Jake's true identity.
          HAYDEN:  It's a good thing you're not a doctor because you have the Worst. Bedside. Manner. EVER!
          SAM:  I know a con artist when I see one.   You faked being Jake's wife because Ric Lansing paid you off.
          HAYDEN:  I don't know this Ric you speak of. 
          SAM:  Sure you don't.
          HAYDEN:  I'm so blackballing you from visiting me.

         LIZ:  Nikolas, did you shoot Hayden and put her in a coma?
         NIKOLAS:  Say WHAAAAAAAAAAT? 
         LIZ:  When you said you'd "take care of Hayden" did you mean you'd do it The Cassadine Way?
         NIKOLAS:  Who do you take me for, Liz?  My grandmother?
         LIZ: I'm starting to wonder...
