Jordan Opens Up to Isaiah
Isaiah and Jordan return to her place after a five-mile hike. They kiss, and then Jordan fills him in her conversation with Ezra Boyle about Laura and Sonny’s relationship. She hates it, but she agrees with him. If Laura had moved the esplanade, it would have revitalized that area and been a blow to Sonny’s organization. She is starting to realize that Laura will never see Sonny as the danger he is.
Jordan knows Sonny has done a lot of good with his money, but it doesn’t mean he’s not dangerous. Then there are guys like Drew and Ezra, who do good things, but she trusts Sonny far more than them. She has to side with Sonny and Laura over them, but if she was mayor, she’d be the kind to shut down Sonny’s business.
Nina arrives at Ava’s place to see her. She says she thinks she and Portia are going to find a way to deal with their Drew problem. Ava is glad, but has to rush out and take Avery to Sonny’s. Nina finds it odd she’s in a hurry to see a man who hates her.

Molly and Kristina Make Peace
At Sonny’s, Kristina calls Isaiah and leaves a message about what could happen if her father has another incident and doesn’t have his meds on him. Molly arrives, and Kristina asks if something is wrong. Molly explains their mom told her Kristina was here, and she wants her sister back. She says she’s lost so many people this past year, and she wants them to be like they were before everything changed. She hates she’ll never see Sam again, and she doesn’t want things to be strained between them and that they only see one another in times of crisis.
Kristina asks what she has in mind. Molly suggests small steps at first, like movie nights. She says their mom needs this as much as they do. They start laughing, and Kristina admits she missed her. Molly has missed her too, and they hug. They’re interrupted by a knock at the door, and it’s Ava arriving with Avery.
Kristina asks Molly to take Avery to the playroom where Pilar is. Once alone, Ava brings up the scene the other day when Sonny had that attack. She asks if he’s seeing a doctor. Kristina says that’s none of her business. Ava says it is, as if Sonny isn’t well, then Avery should be with her full-time. She thinks a judge would agree. Ava departs.
Molly heads to see her mom’s office and finds her dad there. He suggests they do dinner this weekend and heads out. Diane found that entire exchange thrilling and leaves the Davis women to talk. Alexis explains she invited her father here to call a truce, but Ric did it before she had a chance. She says Cody spoke to him and got through to him. Alexis notes today, Ric was the bigger person, and she accepted the olive branch. Molly says her mom deserves some of the credit as well. Alexis asks if there is a reason for this visit, not that she’s not glad to see her. Molly tells her mom that she and Kristina talked about getting things back on track and even discussed having an old-fashion Davis girls’ night. Alexis is thrilled.
Brick Is Back With Intel
At Sonny’s office, Jason is furious to learn about the incident with Ava, and pushes him to get the surgery now. Sonny can’t while his family is in danger. Brick arrives, and he has a lead on the man who almost killed Michael.
Brink says the man is named Stilinski and he is ex-intelligence and a contract killer. Sonny says that explains Valentin’s connection, and Brick says the only way to hire this guy is through the dark web. Brick’s tracked him down to Toronto, and Jason offers to get there on Sonny’s plane immediately. Brick tells Jason to be careful to the point of paranoia. Even if he gets the drop on this guy, he is very dangerous. Sonny thanks Brick for the intel, and they’ll take care of this guy.
Brick leaves, and Sonny insists to Jason that he’s going with him to Toronto. Jason refuses, as there are too many things that could go wrong with his health. Jason reminds him Stilinski is a middleman, and they still need to know who hired him. Sonny says his mind won’t be changed, grabs his gun, and won’t let anyone come after his family again. They take off. The camera pans to a photo of Michael and Morgan on Sonny’s desk…
What’s Isaiah Hiding?
Back at Jordan’s, she tells Isaiah she would never try to steal Laura’s job, but if it were her, she’d stay as far away from Sonny as possible. There is a knock at the door, and it turns out to be Brick with flowers. He wanted to see if she was free for dinner. That’s when he spots Isaiah, and Jordan says she has plans tonight. Brick says it appears they are a couple, so he’ll leave them alone. Jordan asks Brick not to let anyone know she is seeing Isaiah. Brick agrees to keep her secret, and he also hopes Isaiah is not a part of his family’s questionable activities, which he heard about.
Brick leaves them, and Jordan asks what that was about. Isaiah says Brick has clearly looked into him. He asks if she asked him to. She didn’t, and she trusts him to tell her whatever she needs to know about him.
Kristina Interrupts
Ava returns home and finds Ric sitting in her living room with a drink in hand. He happened to park in her spot, because all the visitors’ spots were taken. She’s annoyed as she had to park on the street because of him. He says he’s in too good a mood to fight and kisses her. He says he and Alexis have called a truce for their daughter. Suddenly Kristina bangs on the door and demands Ava open up, as they are going to finish this once and for all.
Brook Lynn Worries About Chase
Chase comes home to find Brook Lynn working in the kitchen, and he thought she’d be at Deception. Brook Lynn says she’d rather be doing work at home than the office. Chase asks if Lulu is harassing her. Brook Lynn says she quit, and it’s because of him. Chase swears he was going to tell her about their chat, but of course, Lulu had to tell her first. Brook Lynn loves him for looking out for her, but threatening to arrest Lulu isn’t who he is. He says he’ll do whatever it takes to keep her and her secret safe.
Brook Lynn thinks what Lulu’s really upset about is that Dante never told her about her past with Dante. Chase calls Lulu selfish, only thinking about herself, and this is for him too. Brook Lynn knows that, and wishes she could make this better for him. He knows this is not her fault, and he has to learn to live with the fact that she had a baby with his best friend. She asks him not to compromise himself or who he is because of Lulu. They hug one another.
On the next General Hospital, Kristina vows to stop Ava, and Ezra arrives at the Quartermaine estate to tear down the crypt, and tells Gio and Emma nobody can do anything to stop this.
