GH RECAP, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10, 2024
Diane shows up at the warehouse to speak to Jason. She is out of options to save Alexis and needs him to convince Sonny to confess. Jason says he doesnāt have to, as Sonny has decided to turn himself in, and heās telling Carly right now. Jason thinks there must be a way to free Alexis without Sonny going down. Diane says the gun Alexis disposed of hasnāt been found, so there is nothing left to help her. Jason says this canāt be the end of Sonny, and he should have killed Cates when he had the chance.
Diana reminds him that Cates was a federal agent and even he wouldnāt have gotten away with killing him. Jason feels what happens to him isnāt as important as what happens to Sonny and Carly. Diane argues his sons would disagree. He says Danny and Jake are used to living without him. Diane understands why he took Cates āoriginal deal and it was noble of him, but his life is worth just as much as everyone elseās, so think about how his boys would react the next time he wants to sacrifice himself for someone else.
Sonny stops by Carlyās place, and she lets him know that Holly Sutton is looking for him. Also, sheās being trailed by someone. She explains she was followed to a dinner with Brennan, and she suspects Martin put a tail on her to prove Sonny is guilty. Sonny calls it a smart move, and says this has gotten out of control, so heās going to confess to killing Cates. Carly says as his alibi, sheāll go down with him. Sonny says there is no other way, and Carly realizes heās right.
Sonny tells Carly she wonāt go to prison and that he will have a plane ready for her and Donna to get to a country without an extradition agreement. Carly wonāt do that as heād never see Donna again. She also says Lucky isnāt a viable donor for Lulu, so she canāt leave her family now. She may be able to beat the charges against her, but he wonāt beat a murder charge. She knew what she was doing by helping him, and Cates was a danger to their family and kids, and now their kids are safe. He notes, āAll it cost them was her parents.ā
Sonny calls Diane, who is still with Jason. Sonny says heās with Carly, and they need to talk. Jason soon arrives. Sonny is still talking with Diane on the phone and tells her that she knows what to do. Sonny gets off the phone and lets Jason know that heās turning himself in and Diane is making a deal for him. Heās going to confess to killing Cates and everything else the feds want from him. Sonny will give them everything in exchange for ensuring only he goes down for Jaggerās death.
Martin visits Alexis late at night in Pentonville. He believes Jack Brennan may be the key to her salvation and explains heās a known playboy and was hosting a late-night date with Carly in his suite. However, Brennan seemed to catch on to his PI, which doesnāt shock Alexis, given heās a WSB agent. He has a picture of Brennan and Carly together, but Alexis thinks it isnāt enough to bust Carlyās alibi. He notes itās the only card they have to play to take attention off her and Kristina.
Martin reminds Alexis that she canāt help her children from a prison cell, and Carly will be out there free to entertain eligible bachelors while she sits behind bars. Alexis gives him permission to turn the photo over to the police.
In Annaās office, Kristina tells her that she has information on the night John Cates was killed. Anna warns her she should have a lawyer. Kristina appreciates her concern but knows what sheās doing. Anna asks where she was the night Cates was murdered. Kristina explains she was at her motherās house, but also went to her daughterās grave, however she went somewhere else. Anna knows she seemed confused when talking to Chase about whose car she drove that, and they know Alexis drove her car to the Quartermaines. Kristina says that is not true. Suddenly, Michael bursts in and tells Kristina not to say another word. Michael tells her she knows not to talk to the police without a lawyer and drags her out.
Later, Anna is on the phone discussing the case against Alexis with someone. Suddenly an alarm sounds, and Chase bursts in and says they need to evacuate because of a bomb threat.
Outside the station, Chase tells Anna that a package with a possible bomb, as detected by their dogs, was delivered and left in a blind spot so it wouldnāt be on their cameras. Whoever did this knew exactly what they were doing. Later, they learn the package was a false alarm and there is nothing explosive in it. Chase and Anna are given the package, a small rectangular box wrapped in brown paper. Chase suggests they open it.
Later, Martin shows up at the PCPD and tells Chase he has evidence he needs to give Anna that could help Alexis. Chase tells him to give it to the federal prosecutor.
Chase goes into Annaās office, and she opens the package. Inside is a nine millimeter gun, just like the one Alexis disposed of that could exonerate her.
Michael and Kristina go to the coffee house, and Michael admits he had Spinelli put tracking software on her phone to keep tabs on her. She canāt believe he is spying on her. She says she must help her mother, and they both know sheās going down for a crime their father committed. He warns her not to do anything impulsive. Kristina agrees to listen to him and keep quiet for now, but she will speak out if things change for her mom.
At the hospital, Liz checks on Dante, who is sitting with Lulu. Dante wants to make sure someone is with her as much as possible. He tells her that he promised Rocco theyād find Lulu a donor, but almost all her blood relatives arenāt a match, which means finding a stranger and convincing them to donate part of their liver. Liz promises the hospital will use every resource available to them to find Lulu a donor.
Olivia arrives as Liz is leaving Luluās room. The nurse lets Olivia know Dante needs her. Olivia learns Lucky isnāt viable, and they have to hope to find someone in time to save Lulu. Olivia says they will do more than hope. Olivia contacts Nina to get the word out about Lulu through Crimson, and she calls all her contacts in the old neighborhood. She says they are going to convince so many people to get tested to help save Lulu.
In the hospital chapel, Lucky prays for guidance when Laura appears. They embrace, and sheās so grateful heās home to help his sister. She asks if heās seen Aiden, and Lucky says he has and heās a good kid. He credits everything Aiden has become to Liz. Laura asks about his reunion with Liz, who was the one who told her that he was in here. He realizes Liz didnāt tell her, and heās sorry, but he canāt be Luluās donor.
Lucky explains his liver isnāt healthy enough, and itās due to a parasite he picked up somewhere in Africa. Lucky cries that he canāt make up for failing Lulu when she was a baby and being unable to save her then. Laura says heās not failing her, and he can give her his love and strength and convince her to pull through. Lucky says if that doesnāt work, then this is on him. If he hadnāt stayed away, if he hadnāt been in combat zones, then he wouldnāt have this parasite, and he could save his sister.
Laura says he is not to blame, as he had the right to live his own life. He knows he had responsibilities here and he still stayed away. She canāt argue with that, but he affected many lives around the world by helping save doctors and clinics. Lucky laments he canāt save the life that means the most. Laura says Lulu would not blame him. Laura always knew heād leave Port Charles, as he is so much like his father and was on the run with her and Luke for so many years, and itās in his blood. She flashes back to the Triple L, and how it exploded, and they were separated from him for weeks. However, she and Luke knew he could take care of himself, and though she knew he would eventually leave Port Charles to thrive, she also knew heād come back when he was needed the most.
Lucky wishes he could do something for Lulu. Laura says Nikolas was just as crushed that he couldnāt be a donor. She feels Nikolas felt helping Lulu could make up for his bad choices. Lucky understands wanting to make amends. Lucky wishes he had been here earlier for his mom to lean on, given all she went through. She embraces Lucky and thinks sheāll be leaning on him plenty in the next few weeks.
Laura tells Lucky that Luluās body is shutting down and time is not on her side. If they have to let her go, she wants him to hold her hand while she says goodbye. He promises he will, and she cries, āThank you!ā as they embrace again.

Anna asks Carly if she wanted to revise her statement.
