Sasha is still on the stand, being grilled about her relationship with Michael and the baby they conceived. Ric asks Sasha how much Michael paid her to keep quiet about the baby, never noticing that the witness is clearly in pain. As Ric’s questions become more invasive, Sasha’s pain clearly increases. Suddenly, she clutches her stomach and goes into full-blown labor!
Sasha freaks out, insisting she can’t lose the baby like she did Liam. Willow approaches and suggests that she help. Paramedics aren’t going to get there in time, and even when they do arrive, it turns out they can’t get into the building because a protest is taking place outside. With Willow’s help, Sasha is able to deliver a healthy baby girl. Cradling both Sasha and the baby, Michael locks eyes with Willow and mouths a sincere “thank you.”
Carly Exposes Nina
As Willow is in labor, Nina confronts Ric. She rants that she gave him all the info he needed to expose Michael’s affair, but he didn’t need to involve the baby. At that moment Carly, having overheard, storms over and puts Nina on blast. “It was you!” she shouts. “You’re the reason Ric found out about the baby!”
Things quickly escalate, with the women and Drew hurtling accusations at one another. Drew says he and Willow are going to be together and happy, adding that Carly needs to accept it. Fed up, Carly says she’s not the only one who doesn’t want to see them together. “I know for a fact,” spits Carly, “that Nina is the one who hired Jacinda and had you drugged!’
Elizabeth Rejects Lucky’s Proposal
Lucky gets off his knee, closes the ring box and asks Liz if she’s rejecting his proposal for now or for good. He admits the proposal may have been premature, but says he will prove he’s in it for the long haul. “Will that really make you happy?” she asks, admitting she’s loved him from the start but knows what will and won’t satisfy him. “If there’s one thing I know about you Lucky Spencer, it’s that here is too small of a place for you… and the last thing I want is for you to live an unfulfilled life just so you can prove yourself to me.”
Lucky acknowledges that Port Charles isn’t his home anymore, and that being there full-time won’t fulfill him. He wishes he could be the kind of person who’d be content to stay, but he’s not. His face lighting up, Lucky suggests she come with him and they can see the world together. But she reminds him she has family, friends and a career in Port Charles. This is where her life is. Leaving would make her as unhappy as Lucky would be if he stayed. Ultimately, they agree that they will always love one another, but that he needs to move on. He wonders how he’ll tell Aidan that he’s leaving again, but Liz says she has an idea about that.
Anna Turns to Jason
Joss reports what she knows to Brennan, who wants her to stick close to Dalton. He gives her a device to clone Dalton’s calls and warns that she can’t attract Anna’s attention, or that will blow her cover. Meanwhile, Anna takes a meeting with Jason to ask for his help. Knowing where his loyalties lie, she points out that he would be helping not only her but Carly, too. Upon hearing that Joss is working for Dalton, Jason immediately agrees to investigate the guy.
Anna catches Jason up on Emma’s involvement with Dalton, including the young woman’s arrest at Berkley. She also mentions that Brennan is trying to throw her off Dalton’s scent. But if his work warrants the attention of the WSB, it has to be dangerous… which means Joss is in jeopardy. Anna says she can’t directly investigate because the WSB is watching. “So I need you to look into Dalton for me,” she says, asking that he not confront the guy directly.
Marshall Returns
Things are tense between Portia and Curtis, who are sleeping in separate bedrooms, but they put on smiles when Kai and Trina arrive for a party to celebrate a visiting Marshall. Hat Daddy has been on tour with Wynton Marsalis and is in town for a single night. Trina and Kai admit they can’t wait for the documentary to be over. When Drew’s name comes up, Curtis and Portia tense up. Alone with Curtis, Marshall worries about Kai’s tie to Drew. (Even he knows the guy is scum, clearly!)
Alone with Trina, Marshall gives his seal of approval to her new relationship. But at that moment, Kai accidentally overhears Curtis and Portia’s fight… along with Curtis’ plan to track down Jacinda and pay her to say that Drew hired her for sex and took the ketamine on purpose.
Natalia Is Arrested!
Sonny meets with Maxie at the Metro Court pool, hoping to convince her that Deception should dump Sidwell. But she reminds him that Deception is doing so well because of the Zincite that they’re getting from Sidwell. Excusing herself, she catches up with Lucas, and they watch as Natalia — who is drinking like a fish — fights with Marco. He wanted her to be nice to Lucas, whom she blew off, while she wants him to talk Blaze into forgiving her. Marco suggests Natalia leave him and his sister alone. He suggests she “go get drunk somewhere else.”
Natalie sits with Sonny, who tries to offer her comfort and says one day Marco will come around and realize he needs his mom. “Why are you being so nice?” she asks. He offers her more advice, after which she calls Sidwell, saying he owes her… and she’s coming to collect! Instead, however, she winds up being arrested for DUI!
On the next General Hospital, Carly’s got big feelings and she’s going to unleash them on Jason. Plus, Nina’s ready to make a confession! Plus, was that really Lucky’s last episode? Sadly, yes.
