Lucky is Bored
At the hospital, Lucky asks Isaiah if it’s possible to die of boredom and begs his friend to get him out of there. Isaiah can’t, as he’s not his doctor, but tells Lucky as often as he’s been at death’s door that this time, he was halfway through.
Lucky says he was kept from going through as his heart is now grounded in Port Charles, and he had this strange, overwhelming feeling he wasn’t done here yet. There is too much here for him: his son, his mom, his sister… and Elizabeth. Isaiah says she’s a remarkable woman.

Sidwell, in the elevator, is on his way to meet Jordan at The Metro Court. Natalia boards the elevator with him, and they exchange looks. Another woman is onboard and gets off, and Sidwell asks Natalia how things at Deceptions are. She notes that’s none of his business. He promises her secret, that they were married, is safe with him. The doors open, and Maxie is standing there. She boards the elevator, and they finally make it to the restaurant.
Natalia and Maxie rush off and wonder what this meeting Lucy has called is about.
Sidwell meets Jordan at the bar and discusses Cyrus’s disappearance and how he was a thorn in her side during her tenure as police commissioner. Whatever she feels about him, Jordan does not agree with someone taking the law into their own hands and doing away with Cyrus.
Jordan assumes that discussing the criminal justice system wasn’t why he asked to meet her. Sidwell wanted to talk about the esplanade. Jordan lets him know that Mayor Collins wants it kept in the original location. He asks if this has to do with the mayor’s personal relationship with Sonny?
Natalia and Maxie meet with Lucy, who says their zincite supplier sold out to Enchantment. Natalia notes they need a new supplier now before Enchantment drops their product first. Lucy spots Sidwell and says she may know someone, and Natalia catches on to what Lucy is thinking.
Lucy interrupts Jordan and Sidwell at the bar and says she’s so sorry, but the Deception team has a rare business opportunity for Sidwell. Jordan lets Sidwell know he could go, and they can pick this up at another time. Plus, she has another meeting.
Maxie asks Natalia if she’s okay, as she seemed off in the elevator. Natalia says she’s looked into this Sidwell guy, and he is dangerous. Lucy and Sidwell appear, and Lucy says she’s solved their problems. Jenz hears Deception wants to do business with him after all.
Jenz explains that he has a deal with Enchantment, and in order to break that deal, he’ll need five percent of Deception. Maxie thinks they need to consider what Lulu had to say about Sidwell, but Lucy says Lulu is not a shareholder and has no say.

If someone winds up dead because of Sidwell, and she could have done something, she’s not okay with that. She’d rather take the risk to get him out of the way first. He wonders if this is about her not feeling satisfied behind a desk. She says she’s doing this for herself. Isaiah says it sounds like she’ll be busy, so will she have time for fun? She asks what kind of fun. He suggests they work on that together.

Olivia Needs Carly’s Help
Olivia checks in on Carly in her office at The Metro Court. She needs Carly’s help to rescue Sasha from the Quartermaines. She asks if she’s gotten Jason to confirm he’s the father of her baby, but Carly explains that Sonny convinced her not to push it. Olivia says that’s a new approach for her, but she fears Sasha is going to be chased away by the Qs.
Olivia was thinking of offering Sasha a job in The Metro Court kitchen and even giving her a room here. Carly says she’s in. Olivia then gets a text that she has to fill in and chaperone Leo’s field trip because another parent dropped out. Carly says she can talk to Sasha and enjoy the field trip.
Sasha’s Fed Up
In the Quartermaine mansion kitchen, Jason finds Sasha, who is exhausted. She tells Jason his mother is driving her crazy, and she isn’t sure how much more she can take. She says she’s seen how the family is trying to get Willow’s kids back here, and now Monica is pressuring her with gifts. She won’t let the Quartermaines dictate what school her child attends or what they wear, showing him that Monica has already bought baby clothes. She wants to live her life her way and raise the baby as a single mother. Jason says he’s agreed to help her and won’t tell her what to do, but he can help her out, including with money.
Sasha refuses to take his money. Jason realizes she sees this as charity and thinks she wants to be in charge. Sasha believes he’s the same way, and used to getting his own way. She lets him know, “Not this time, not with me.”
Later, Cody arrives and finds Sasha putting away groceries. He explains the coffee machine in the stables is busted, but he can leave if she needs him to. She assures him that it’s fine and vents about the Quartermaines breathing down her neck about this baby. He again apologizes and says that is his fault. She tells him that while he was the one who blabbed initially about her pregnancy, it wasn’t realistic to think she could hide it forever. Sasha tells him they are good, and she has to get to The Metro Court to meet with Olivia. Cody tells Sasha that the Quartermaines may be overbearing, but they do care. Sasha knows they care, but she won’t let them control her.
Sasha leaves, and later Molly shows up to pick up Danny for a movie. Cody tells her that he just saw Danny take off on his bike. Molly says he texted her, and he’s going to grab a textbook from a friend’s house but will be right back. Cody asks how she is, as he hasn’t seen her since their trip to the roof. Molly says she’d rather spend a week there compared to where she just was. Cody wants the details. She feels terrible about whining about it, but her parents can’t stand each other – nothing new.
Cody asks if she ever tells them that their actions bother her. Molly hasn’t. Cody gets it, as he waited so long to tell Mac that he was his father, as he didn’t want to disappoint him, and he felt he needed to manage his father’s feelings. Molly admits she’s the queen of managing others’ feelings. Cody reveals that when he finally told Mac, it turned out to be amazing. He says it taught him that being aware of everyone’s feelings also means they have to be in tune with yours. Molly says her parents have always hated one another, and one day, maybe she’ll get the courage to tell them both how she feels. Alexis then checks in by phone.
Sonny Needs a Home
Jason drops by Sonny’s room at The Metro Court. He fills Sonny in on someone framing him, and Drew refusing to be his alibi and how he lied to the PCPD. Sonny calls Drew a son of a bitch. Sonny switches the topic to Drew and Sidwell, who are coming after the pier and warehouses. Jason reveals Anna told him that the device that blew up the warehouse wasn’t the same as the one used at his penthouse, but the timing is suspect as Sidwell arrived in town when his penthouse went up in flames. Sonny says he doesn’t like coincidences, and something doesn’t add up.
Jason says securing his penthouse was difficult enough, but now they have to secure this suite. Sonny notes he talked with Kristina earlier, and she made him realize that while security is important, Donna and Avery need a home. Sonny says Donna and Avery can’t stay here, and he has to make a call he doesn’t want to have to make.
Sasha arrives at The Metro Court to meet with Carly and spots Sidwell with the Deception crowd. She rushes over and asks why they are with his man. Lucy explains he has a mineral they need. Sasha informs them that this man kidnapped her and held her at gunpoint in a building with a bomb in it. She lets them know that Sidwell is someone they don’t want to do business with, and making a deal with this man is one they do at their own risk.
Sasha storms off, and Sidwell points out that despite all the allegations lobbied against him, no charges have been filed. Lucy asks how much zincite he has, and Maxie interjects that she can’t believe Lucy is okay with this. Lucy asks Natalia what she thinks, and Natalia admits they need that zincite. Sidwell says he’ll leave them to think his offer over, but it won’t be on the table long.
Carly Makes Sasha an Offer
Sasha and Carly go to Carly’s office, and Sasha asks why Olivia wanted to meet. Carly says it’s about the baby. Sasha won’t discuss her child with her or anyone. Carly says it’s not that. They have been talking about the trouble she’s been having at the Quartermaine estate, so they thought perhaps she could work here.
On the next General Hospital, Sasha brandishes a meat tenderizer in the Quartermaine kitchen and yells, “Get out of here or I’ll scream!”
