'General Hospital' Weekly Recap – Week of July 13-17

Lucky knocked on Elizabeth’s door while little Jake and Luke waited in the distance. She hugged Lucky and brought him inside. He was eager to explain where he had been, but she wanted to bring Aiden down to see him first. The kid then came running down the stairs. He mentioned Jake/Jason and then back to bed. They then talked about how it had been five years since their Jake saved Josslyn. He then said that it wasn't their son who saved her. "He's alive," he explained. This didn’t make sense to her. Lucky then told her that Helena had smuggled their son away. He then had the child brought in. Luke asked him to watch over Elizabeth. Reluctantly, little Jake let Elizabeth hug him. She was overwhelmed and stepped outside with Lucky. They embraced. Once she regained her composure, they went back in and Lucky took little Jake into the kitchen. Elizabeth then thanked Luke for bringing her son home to her. He replied that he admired her resilience and suggested that she never question happiness. Then, Lucky returned and walked Luke out. Luke then asked him what he was afraid of. Lucky then admitted that he was afraid of the darkness inside him and that he would pass that on to his kids. Luke assured him that he wouldn’t wind up like him or his grandfather, Tim Spencer. Luke then added that if Lucky knew there were demons stalking him, then he was already fighting them. Luke then promises to come to his aid if he ever needed it. Lucky then went back inside. "It feels like everything is finally right," he told Elizabeth. She was still overwhelmed and could hardly explain how she felt.

When Dante went home, Lulu told him that she knew all about what happened with him and Valerie. He told her that he was so sorry, but he thought she was sleeping with Dillon. He then asked for her forgiveness. "It depends if it was just one kiss," she replied. She then blamed herself for pushing him to this, but she still hated Valerie. He then took the blame, claiming that Valerie stopped things and left. They both wanted the past few weeks to be a distant memory. She then pushed him away when he tried to embrace her.

At the PCPD, Jordan told Valerie that she was very uncomfortable with her inappropriate relationship with Dante. Valerie then explained that Dante called it all off to protect his marriage. Jordan wondered if she would leave it at that. She then asked her to act like an adult and deal with her drama on her own time. When Valerie walked into the hall, Dante called to explain what happened with Lulu. She promised that their secret was safe.

Jake/Jason dropped by the Quartermaines and ran into Monica. She told him that Michael was out on a date so she asked him to wait. As he looked around, he found a photo of Jason and AJ. Monica then brought him some snacks and told him about her sons. He told her that he would love to hear about Jason Quartermaine since he had heard all about Jason Morgan. She then told him Jason’s history, how he became the heart of the Quartermaine family and how that all changed after his car accident. He then realized that Michael wasn't coming back, thanked Monica for entertaining him and left. Then, Luke rushed in, looking for Tracy.

Jake/Jason arrived at Elizabeth’s and found her and little Jake playing with a toy motorcycle.

Sam dropped by GH to pick up Patrick. He told her that Hayden's vitals had spiked briefly, which meant that she might wake up. They wondered what she could tell them about Nikolas and Jake/Jason.

Laura paid Nikolas a visit at Wyndemere. She filled him in on what happened with Luke and Lucky. Moments later, Lucky arrived.

In their bedroom, Carly and Sonny discussed what was going on with Lulu and Dante and later they talked about Josslyn’s checkup. Sonny wished she had told him about it and that he didn’t want her to hide her feelings from him, the good or the bad. He then told Carly how much he loved her and that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her.

At Lulu and Dante’s apartment, the couple continued to argue about what happened with Valerie. Lulu hated that he was going to see Valerie at work all the time. He told her that Valerie was her cousin and would be a part of their lives. She didn’t know why she had to accept that, so Dante pointed out because he had to accept that Dillon was a part of hers. Lulu then explained that they were only friends and possibly even step siblings if their parents worked things out. Later, as they got ready for bed, Lulu told Dante that she loved him and wasn’t giving up on them. Then, they kissed.

At the Quartermaines, Luke headed up to Tracy’s room to talk to her and was stunned when he walked in on her in bed with Paul. She then asked Paul to excuse them while she dealt with Luke, so he left. Luke then explained everything to Tracy, including that he never got back with Laura, and assured her that she was the only one he wanted. Tracy asked why he didn’t tell her the truth in the first place. He tried to explain, but she felt like he didn’t trust her, that he cut her out and left her behind. Tracy then said that he had never seen her as his equal, how that had always been an issue, and that he blew it. She then asked him to leave. He agreed to go, but hoped she would see things differently in the morning. He then added that he wasn’t a quitting man. She replied that he was just a little too secretive for his own good.

Meanwhile, Dillon was reunited with Paul. Paul confessed to Dillon that he and Tracy had reconnected and that Luke had just walked in on them in bed. Dillon then asked Paul about his wife Jenny. Paul replied that they were over and that he and Tracy turned to one another over their mutual hurt. Dillon then told his dad that Luke didn’t actually screw Tracy over and then he explained the whole story. Paul then told Dillon that no matter what happened with Luke and Tracy, that he came home to make things right with his son and that he wouldn’t let anyone stop him from doing that.

Lucky interrupted Nikolas and Laura at Wyndemere and let them know that he had reunited Elizabeth with her son. Laura then left the two brothers to talk. Nikolas swore to Lucky that he had no idea that little Jake was on Cassadine island and Lucky believed him. Lucky then talked about traveling the world to try and find himself, but that he still felt broken and was in no condition to be near his kids. He then said that the stranger Elizabeth was dating was probably better for his own kids than he was. Nikolas then told Lucky that he was no stranger and then he confessed that the man was Jason. He also told him that only the two of them, Helena and Elizabeth knew. Lucky was shocked that they weren’t telling him the truth, but Nikolas said that Sam was with Patrick now and that the Quartermaines had all recovered from Jason’s death and moved on. He then explained that Elizabeth didn’t want Jason to go back to his old life, which was why she wasn’t telling him the truth. Lucky then asked Nikolas why he told him. Nikolas replied that if he chose to leave this way, he would know that Elizabeth and the kids weren’t with some stranger. He then told Lucky that the choice was his. Later, Laura returned and found that Lucky was gone. She asked Nikolas how their talk went. Nikolas told his mother that he was honest with Lucky and told him whatever he chose to do that it would all be okay.

Jake/Jason came home to Elizabeth’s place and was shocked to see little Jake. Elizabeth explained that Lucky found and brought him home. Jake/Jason then introduced himself to little Jake and when he saw the toy motorcycle the boy had, he had flashbacks to seeing it before. He then told Elizabeth about the odd flash he just had, which ate at her. She almost confessed to him, but was distracted by little Jake who told her that he was tired. She thought he needed to rest since a lot of people would want to see him tomorrow. They then got little Jake ready for bed together. Later, Lucky arrived and almost knocked on the door, but stopped and watched through the window as Elizabeth and Jake/Jason took little Jake to bed. Lucky then walked off.

At the Quartermaines, Kiki apologized to Michael for all that she had done. She then said that would understand if he didn’t want to help Ava/Denise get visiting privileges with Avery. She then added that Ava/Denise was all she had left of her mom so she needed to give this a shot. With a little pressure, he agreed to do what he could. She assured him that she had nothing to do with the kidnapping. He still assumed that Nina must have taken the baby. She worried that Nina might take the baby again.

In Silas' office, Morgan wondered who fed Silas this story about him getting too close to Ava/Denise. Morgan then assured Silas that he and Ava/Denise had no intention of making a fool out of Kiki, but whenever he saw her, his feelings for Ava resurfaced. He begged Silas not to tell Kiki. Against his better judgement, Silas agreed to keep this from Kiki, but threatened to expose Morgan if he came near Ava/Denise again. Once Morgan left, Kiki showed up to tell her father about her conversation with Michael.

In their suite, Nina told Ric that her mom took her whole future. She wondered how she had the audacity to be in Port Charles again. He assured her that he was taking care of her inheritance and keeping it safe from Madeline. She thanked him. He then took out a baby blanket, saying that he found it in her drawer. Panicking, Nina insisted that she was being framed. Ric offered to take care of this and advised her to keep the blanket a secret.

In his bedroom, Sonny promised Carly that he would keep the baby and everyone in the family safe. He then offered her some danish. When she lifted one up, she found a ring underneath. He then proposed. He then told her how lucky he felt to have her back and how last night pushed him over the edge. "I want to love you for the rest of my life. I want you to be my wife," he said. She then pointed out that their marriages never work... but that she would still love to be Mrs. Corinthos again. Then, they kissed. He then slipped the ring on her. This made her Avery's mother. As they fawned over the baby, Michael called to tell them that he needed to come by.

In Julian's penthouse, Ava/Denise told Franco that no case against her would ever stand up unless the recording surfaced. Once her lawyers tore apart any charges, she could take her place as Ava again. She was sure the evidence was floating around the PCPD station. Scott must have access to it and Franco had access to his father. She then offered to help him rescue Nina from Ric if he helped her. "You always make evil sound so easy," he replied. Then, Julian strolled in, rolled his eyes and then left. Once Franco also left, Morgan showed up. "Why did you tell Kiki's dad about us?" he demanded.

In the D.A.'s office, Jordan explained to Scott that she wanted to get her son away from Sonny. Scott warned that it wouldn't be easy. He then took out the recording AJ made of Sonny before he died. They then shook hands on working together to take down Sonny. After she left, he vowed to put Sonny away. Then, Franco showed up with ice cream. Scott assumed he was there for money.

Julian joined Alexis at The Metro Court restaurant. He showed off the latest article about Sonny in his paper. It also said that the activities of the Jerome family seem to have dried up. Alexis was impressed that he was really legit. He assured her that he would remain out of the mob. As they ate, he vented about Ava/Denise being a “ruffian.” They then gossiped about Julian's houseguest and Franco.

Michael dropped by Sonny’s house to see his mom and Sonny. They shared their engagement news with him. He pointed out that this would be marriage number 5. They claimed they would do better this time and asked him to be part of the wedding. He worried about his mom getting hurt. She replied that she would rather be hurt than be apart from Sonny. Michael wished them well, but couldn't attend the wedding. He added that he wanted peace, but he wasn’t ready to put what happened between them behind him. They understood. Changing gears, he asked if Ava/Denise could have contact with Avery. Sonny wasn’t comfortable with Ava/Denise and didnt want her near his kids.

In their suite, Nina paniced about the baby blanket to Ric. He reassured her that he wouldn't let anyone take her back to Shadybrooke. When she turned her back, he played a recording of a baby's cry. "Did you just hear that?" she asked. He played dumb. She assumed it must have been the kids next door. He then kissed her and she headed out, frazzled. Moments later, Madeline arrived. Ric told her that the gas-lighting plan was going as they had hoped. She wished she could do this without hurting her daughter. "What happened to her in the first place?" he demanded. Madeline wouldn't explain and distracted him with sex. Once he had his pants on again, he told her all about the blanket. He was sure that would be enough to push Nina over the edge. Madeline didn’t think it was foolproof and worried that her daughter might open up to someone who actually believed in her sanity. Ric promised to keep her isolated.

Franco dropped by Scott’s office with iced coffee. Scott assumed he wanted money. Franco then admitted that he needed a favor. He then talked about his woman troubles. Scott choked on his frozen treat when Franco mentioned that he was mixed up with Ava/Denise. He then went on to talk about the recording AJ made. Scott pointed to it in his desk, but says it was no good to anyone now. The secretary then told Scott that Jordan wanted to see him. After Scott headed down the hall, Franco tried to open the desk. He had no luck and Scott returned, sending him out so he could get back to work.

Kiki visited Silas at his office to tell him that she talked to Michael for Ava/Denise. She felt like she had known her her whole life. Silas worried that Ava/Denise might hurt her. Kiki doubted it and hoped that he could learn to get along with Morgan. He encouraged her to think twice about this. Then, Nina popped up so Kiki left. Nina bluntly told Silas that she was afraid that she was losing her mind, that she had been hearing a baby cry and worried that she really did kidnap the baby. He poked some holes in that theory. She then mentioned the blanket. "I believe in you," he assured her.

Morgan showed up at Julian’s penthouse and confronted Ava/Denise for telling Silas about them. She apologized, but he was furious and couldn't understand why she was sharing secrets with Silas. When he threatened to get in the way of her seeing the baby, she claimed that Silas was hitting on her and that she told him that she was seeing Morgan to get him to back off. Morgan wondered why she didn't use the Franco excuse. Ava/Denise then claimed that she couldn't get Morgan out her head. She then asked how he snuffed out his feelings for her. Morgan admitted that he couldn't get her out of his head either. They then started making out. Meanwhile, Kiki called Morgan to say that she was on her way over to see Ava/Denise.

At Sonny’s house, Carly admired her engagement ring. Sonny wondered if she was having doubts. She said that she wasn’t. They both then said how thankful they were for everything, but he worried about turning down Michael's requests. They then went back to talking about why they always wound up together. She then listed his faults and his charms. They then drank and danced. Suddenly, Max rushed in with Vito, who had been shot. "Boss! We've been hit!" he shouted. As Carly dressed the wound, Max told Sonny that their shipment had been hijacked by some pros, but he couldn't tell what family they were from. Sonny then called Ric to fill him in. When Carly joined him, he said that there would be hell to pay if the Jeromes were involved.

Morgan and Ava/Denise made out on Julian’s couch while Kiki approached the door. Before she could knock, Michael called to tell her that Sonny wouldn't budge regarding Ava/Denise seeing the baby. She then started knocking. Then, Franco popped up, explaining that he was there to see "Av-er... Denise". She then filled him in about the bad news. He offered to break it to Ava/Denise. Back inside, Ava/Denise and Morgan had been romping in bed. After sex, he noticed her tattoo and then talked about how right things feel between them. Then, Franco banged on the door until she answered it. He barged in. Morgan remained in the bedroom. Ava/Denise told Franco that Julian and Alexis were in the bedroom. He was disgusted. After he gave her Kiki's message, he explained that he tried and failed to get the recording. She told him to try harder if he wanted Nina back and chased him out. Then, Morgan appeared. She told him that Sonny refused Michael's request. She then beat herself up for sleeping with Kiki's boyfriend. He then got a text from Kiki and left.

Michael found Sabrina sunning herself on the patio at the Quartermaines. He told her about the upcoming wedding and his mixed feelings about it. They then toasted to the fifth time being a charm. She then explained that she was going to continue to work on the clinic, that the GH board had approved funding for it and they still wanted him to run it. He was thrilled.

At The Metro Court, Julian suggested to Alexis that they get a room for afternoon sex. They got a room and the role-playing began. She was Ms. Robertson and he was Tristan the bellboy. She said that he got her order wrong and that he needed to make it up to her. Alexis then ordered him to take off his top and asked him to help her blow off some steam. After sex, they put on the TV and saw a report about the attack on Sonny's warehouse. He assured her that he was finished with the mob. She believed him. As they left, they made out in the hall. Franco spotted them and wondered why Ava/Denise lied to him.

Ric tried to convince Madeline to leave his suite before Nina got back. As they headed to the door, Nina arrived. She wasn’t happy to see her mom and assumed that Franco must have been right. Ric claimed that he wasn’t her mother's lawyer. Madeline then accused Ric of being after Nina's money. That put Nina on the defensive. When Madeline then mentioned that Ric was in control of her finances, Nina wondered how she knew that. As she probed, Ric then played the recording of the baby's cries again. Nina started freaking out. Madeline made a show of concern and then left. Nina worried that her conscience was telling her that she kidnapped the baby. Ric comforted her. When she headed to her room for a nap, Ric slipped outside and assured Madeline that there would only be a few more months of this and then they would be very wealthy people.
