GH RECAP THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17th
On the steps of the Quartermaine mansion, Sasha asks what her mother, Holly, is doing here. Sasha assumes she trying to rope her into one of her scams as usual. Holly says there is no scam this time, and she is trying to save her from disaster. Sasha says sheās already on thin ice here at work, so she doesnāt need her to cause more problems for her.
Holly barges in and is stunned that her daughter works as a cook for the Quartermaines. She assumes sheās running a con, but Sasha says she is gainfully employed here. Sasha says her mom has caused her enough trouble over the years, like when she left her with that creepy Vickers guy in Llanview. Holly reminds her that Ethan was in trouble and she had to help him. Sasha screams, āEthanās always in trouble!ā Sasha was just glad Nona took her in. Holly knows she isnāt the mother that Sasha deserved, and she canāt make up for her past mistakes, but she can stop her from making a terrible mistake now. Sasha asks what mistake she is about to make. Holly tells her, āGetting more involved with Cody Bell.ā
Sasha tells her mother that sheās fallen in love with Cody, and he is a good man. Holly tells her nothing good can come from this relationship and reveals, āCody is your cousin!ā Sasha thinks this is low even for her. Holly says she never told her who her father was, even though she always asked her about him. Holly explains she thought her father was dead when she got pregnant with her. When he resurfaced, people were after him. She had to protect her, as Scorpioās have enemies. Holly says Mac did, and so did her father, Robert.
Sasha calls her a liar, but Holly swears it is the truth. Sasha says if it is true, how couldnāt she tell her? Robert has another daughter, and they have a relationship. Holly says Anna did a much better job at raising Robin than she did her. Holly says she was twelve and didnāt want Robert to hate her for showing up on his doorstep with a daughter he never knew about. She says Robert is the love of her life, and she betrayed him. Sasha thinks this is another con and either she or Robert is the target. Holly swears itās not a con, and she doesnāt want to ruin things for her, but she and Cody are cousins. Sasha tells her sheās done with her, stay out of her life, and stay away from Cody!
In the stables, Tracy confronts Cody about Sasha hitting Michael up for money for him. She also notes Sasha said he considered asking her himself. She asks if heās in trouble. Cody promises he is not in trouble. She says, āThen you donāt need the money?ā Cody says that need and want are two different things. He explains Serenity is on the market, and heās always fantasized about buying the place and turning it into something. She asks what the asking price is. He says six million. She asks what stopped him from asking her for money. He gets the impression that many people draw from the bank of Tracy, and he doesnāt want to be one of them.
Tracy guesses the staff has been gossiping, so spill it. Cody has heard about Mitch, and Nedās father, and he didnāt want to be another man to use her. Tracy admits many men have used her, and she fell for the biggest offender of all, Luke. However, what started as a scam turned into friendship and, eventually, love.
Cody admits his entry into Port Charles wasnāt that great, but heās done work to better himself. Tracy tells him that Leo and James think he hung the moon and that heās great with the horses. Cody asks Tracy how she feels about him. She likes him, so is something he wants to ask her. He asks, āDo you want to take Hades out tomorrow?ā She says she does, early. Cody tells her that if he gets Serenity, he wants to do it on his own, and not because he borrowed money from a very good friend.
Tracy returns to the mansion as Sasha storms out the front door. Tracy sees Holly and says, āLook what the cat dragged in.ā Tracy asks why sheās here and what she did to upset their cook. Holly explains that she returned with Lucky Spencer to try to help Lulu. Holly says sheās heard Tracy employs Macās son. Tracy informs her that Cody is none of her concern. Holly had no idea she was so fond of Cody. Tracy says heās a nice man. She wonders why Ethan hasnāt come home to be with his sister. Holly explains he didnāt take not being a match for Lulu well, and she hasnāt seen him in a while. Tracy finds it odd that sheās here and not with her upset son.
Sasha goes to the stables, and Cody says Tracy was just here. He knows she asked Tracy for cash, which is nice, but she didnāt need to. Sasha rushes into his arms and passionately kisses him. She quickly pulls away, claims she left a souffle in the oven, and rushes out. Sheās visibly shaken.
Alexis drops by Jordanās office to talk about Molly and TJ. She reveals Molly visited her in Pentonville, and she knows Molly and TJ are struggling. She fears Avaās trial and Ric taking the case could push them over the edge. She admits Ricās a good attorney, and Molly and TJ may not survive as a couple if Ric gets Ava off. Alexis wonders if they should step in and help. Jordan says if they are to survive, they must do it on their own and without their help. Jordan says their kids have to decide on their own if they live their lives together, or apart.
Ric and Ava have dinner at the Port Charles Grill. Ric tells Ava if all goes well, sheāll be a free woman. Ava likes his confidence. Ric admits he has a strategy but doesnāt want to share it yet. Ric also notes one of his other clients, Heather, is having her case ruled on tomorrow. He says she should hope her case goes as smoothly as Heatherās, as Ava has a lot of people lined up against her.
Kristina enters and spots Ava with Ric. Ava tells Ric, āHere comes one of my biggest fans.ā Kristina approaches them, and Ric asks how she is. Kristina says she could be better, she could be home with her daughter. Ric points out it was supposed to be Mollyās daughter, that was the agreement. Kristina doesnāt know how Molly can stand to look at her father when heās representing Ava, the reason Adela died. Ric says Molly knows what she does, Ireneās death wasnāt Avaās fault, but hers.
Kristina says Ava threatened her and screamed at her. Ava tells Kristina to calm down as sheās making a scene. Kristina wants to make a scene and screams that she killed Connie and Morgan and didnāt pay for her crimes, but she wonāt get away with this. Ava says she lost a daughter, too, and knows her pain. Kristina says Ava got to know her daughter and watched her grow up. Kristina cries she never got to hold her daughter. She says Ava will pay for what sheās done! Kristina then slaps the glass out of Ricās hand as he sips it. It shatters on the floor.
Suddenly, Alexis appears and shouts, āKristina!ā Ava notices Ricās lip is bleeding. He says, āNot to worry as I wonāt press charges.ā Alexis tells Kristina they are leaving. Before they go, Ric tells Alexis congrats on the Catesā ruling. He notes itās a miracle that the gun showed up when it did. He guesses she has friends in high places.
Outside, Kristina vents to her mother that Ava is in there having drinks, and her uncle is defending her. Alexis informs Kristina that if she wants Ava to go to prison, then stop helping her defense. She tells her daughter that Ric goaded her into blowing up in there, likely to use it as part of Avaās defense to show how she has repeatedly targeted Ava.
Back inside, Ava knows this canāt be easy on Ric, as that baby was his granddaughter. Ava wonders why heās representing her. Ric believes Kristina is to blame for the accident and that sheās out of control, which everyone in this restaurant can testify to. Ava realizes he set this up. Ric did, and Ava says she understands why Sonny hates him so much. Heās more interested in what she thinks of him and his tactics. Ava says the jury is still out, and Alexis will know what heās up to with this stunt. Ric says he will break Kristina on the stand just like he did tonight.
TJ returns home after picking up the dry cleaning. He got Molly her dress for Marshallās big send-off at The Savoy. Molly forgot about the party and has been caught up in a case. TJ asks what the case is. Molly admits itās Ava Jeromeās case. TJ thinks it is a bad idea to get involved in that, but Molly says she is only looking over it. She says if anyone is going to tank this case, it will be Kristina and her knack for self-destruction. She says the case rests on Kristinaās testimony, and sheās a ticking timebomb that will go off, and her dad will play with her like a fiddle.
Molly hopes her calm testimony will help, and she plans to point the finger at Ava. She asks TJ, āIf you are called to testify, what will you say?ā TJ agrees with her after thinking it over and even hearing Avaās side of the story. They wouldnāt have lost Irene without the Ava component. Heāll never forgive her sister, but she didnāt throw herself out that window, and Ava must pay.
Sam and Dante return home, and Dante tells her that Roccoās mom will live because of her and that sheās a hero. Sam says sheās just a person doing a good thing. He says itās more than a good thing and kisses her.
Sam and Dante call the kids downstairs and reveal theyāve found a donor for Lulu. Dante then tells them the donor is Sam. Rocco embraces her in tears. They ask when the surgery is, and Dante says itās the day after tomorrow.
Scout is worried and asks her mom if sheāll be okay. Sam insists she will be fine, and she and Dante explain the operation to Scout. Scout suggests they have a party after the operation when her mom and Roccoās mom are better. Rocco thanks his dad for coming through with his promise to find a donor for his mom. Dante has them all come in for a group hug.
The show ends with a shot of Luluās bed and the minotors sheās hooked up to beeping.
