'General Hospital' weekly recap – 5/12-5/17

At The Nurses’ Ball, Lucy chased Milo and his wands off the stage as Epiphany yelled for their underwear. Off in a corner, Sonny begged Olivia for a chance to make things right, but she didn't want to talk to him and ran back to the Ball. Elizabeth was startled to see Nikolas stroll in with Spencer. Cameron then mocked Spencerꞌs sparkly suit. Ric then ushered them along before the kids could fight. Lucy got back on stage to announce Blackie Parrish, but then announced that unforeseen circumstances had arisen and he wouldn’t be appearing.. As she ran off to fill the gap on stage, Lulu asksedMaxie to join in on her number since someone dropped out. Maxie happily agreed. She headed backstage to look for her costume and ran into Nathan in his underwear.

Meanwhile, Brad lurked around, spying on Lucas and Felix. Moments later, Lucy announced that Brad was up next. Lucas and Felix stared as he awkwardly performed, but then he got into it and wandered over to their table to serenade them. Lucas moved away, uncomfortable with the gesture and crossed his arms. When Brad was finished, he tried talking to Lucas, but Lucas wasn't interested in talking to him.

Back on stage, Lucy tried to stop Mac and Mr. Marbles from going on, but Mr. Marbles insisted. In the middle of the act, Epiphany started yelling, went on stage and stomped on Mr. Marbles until he was in pieces. Mac was heartbroken. "My childhood friend was murdered before my eyes," he told Felicia. Meanwhile, Milo shook Epiphanyꞌs hand and told her she had “cojones.”

Then, Spencer ran across the room and hugged Britt. He told her that he’d been missing her and wasn’t going to let her leave. He then got drinks for her and Nikolas, as they had some awkward chit chat. Nikolas told her that he wished that he could move on from her but it that it wasn’t that easy.

Lucy then got back to the stage to welcome “The Haunted Starlets” including Lulu and Maxie. Once they were finished performing, Lucy called up singer Eddie Gomez. As he performed, Lucy looked over at Scott and Sonny bobbed his head as Olivia stared at the floor. Once the song ended, Felix asked Lucas how he really felt about Brad.

Meanwhile, Cameron and Emma headed up on stage to perform their tango, but Spencer interrupted it and called the band, Player, to come up on the stage to perform "Baby Come Back" for Emma. Olivia couldnꞌt handle all of this and ran out of the Ball. Sonny followed and called after her but she wouldnꞌt stop. Backstage, Spencer chatted with Ronn Moss about his new CD. Moss told Spencer that he would do anything for Spencer’s grandmother Lesley and wished him luck winning Emma’s heart back before leaving. When Spencer spotted Emma, he threw himself on his knees and declared that he couldnꞌt live without her.
Meanwhile, down the hall, Scott burst into Lucyꞌs dressing room and told her that she should have picked him, not Kevin.

Meanwhile, Ric begged Elizabeth for another chance while Britt told Nikolas how much she still loved him.

Julian found “Luke” sitting by the bar and congratulated him on tying the knot. “Luke” sent him off as Tracy arrived. They toasted their nuptials and she told him that she was ecstatic to be his wife. Ned then appeared and announced that “Luke” wouldnꞌt be working at ELQ or getting any money out of it because Tracy was no longer CEO. He explained that had been voted out and Michael was the new CEO!. Michael and Kiki then appeared on cue. Ned apologized to Tracy for going to such lengths, but said that it had to be this way to protect the family legacy. After Ned, Michael and Kiki left, Tracy told “Luke” "We still have each other." He didn't look happy.

At The Ball, Lucas pushed Brad when he grabbed and kissed him and told him that he was with Felix now. Brad asked Felix if it was true, but Felix didn’t say anything.

Meanwhile, when Britt told Nikolas how much she loved him, he tried walking away but she followed him. Nikolas told her that he couldn’t get past what she had done and all of her lies.

Backstage, as Spencer kneeled at Emma's feet, she forgave him, but insisted that she was still with Cameron.

Down the hall, Scott told Lucy that he wanted her back and knew she wanted him too. She tried running away from him, but he chased her on stage as she continued changing. She then finally admitted that she still wanted him. They began kissing as the curtain went up and everyone saw including Kevin, who wasn’t happy. Lucy stammered and made excuses, claiming that it was a joke, but Kevin still walked out. She ran after him. "I guess the joke is on me," he said when she caught up to him. He then demanded to know how long she had been sleeping with Scott. Lucy tried to deflect the blame saying that it was Kevin’s fault for not being around enough and said she broke it off with Scott a month ago. Kevin then replied that he was sick of her self-involvement, told her what a failure she had been as a wife and walked away. She then moped back to her dressing room. Later, Scott arrived and told her that he thought they should be together now that it was all out in the open, but Lucy just begged him to go. Later, Felicia shows up to comfort Lucy while Mac walked out with Kevin.

Meanwhile, Felix ran up on stage and tried to lighten the mood, which failed. Thankfully, Molly and TJ were then called up on stage to perform with their synthesizers.

After that, Britt joined Nathan at the bar and teased him for staring at Maxie. Obrecht then came over, said how happy she was that her children were bonding as siblings and wouldn't go away.

Meanwhile, Felix called Emma on stage, talked about AMFAR and the role Sabrina played in The Ball. Then, Emma sang a song. Then, Obrecht returned to the stage and dedicated a song about how sorry she was to her children. Britt and Nathan stared at the floor uncomfortably. Felix then thanked everyone for coming as Epiphany went on stage to sing the closing song.

At GH, Patrick and Sabrina were in the incubator room with their baby. He told her in about The Ball and they discussed baby names. Then, the baby's machine started beeping. Doctors ran in and stabilized the baby and explained that he had an infection, which meant they needed to leave. As they stared in through the glass, Emma, Duke, Anna and the others joined them.

Carly and Franco anxiously waited for their flight to take off to avoid handing over AJ’s phone to Anna. Carly was determined to stop Ava and thought it was funny that AJ was the key to outing Ava’s misdeeds. All she could think about was the recording and Franco suggested they join the mile high club to take her mind off of it. She was appalled and denied being a member already. She then asked if he was a member and he admitted that he was, but was game to go for a joint membership. She then started to warm up to the idea, but he told her to wait a bit and join him. Unfortunately, the flight attendant stopped Carly and made her return to her seat. Franco eventually returned and Carly was ready to give up on the idea, but he insisted she go first and then he would follow. Carly then got up to go to the bathroom, but then another man got ahead of Franco. Franco couldn’t stop him and heard Carly scream. When she returned he wanted her to try going in there together. They finally made it to the bathroom just before there was an announcement about turbulence. Afterward, they came out of the bathroom totally disheveled but satisfied.

In the hallway outside her room, Anna told Duke that Sabrina, Patrick and Emma’s car accident had put things in perspective for her and that she wanted to focus on just the good things. He then asked her to use the info he had on Julian to help take him down, but she didn’t want to align herself with Sonny. Then, Scott ran into them and they gave him a hard time for what he did to Kevin and how it looked for someone in his position. He thought that was rich since Anna was sleeping with a mobster. Then, Scott left and after a nightcap, Duke lead Anna in a tango before she lead him to the bedroom.

Kevin drank to get drunk at The Floating Rib. He and Mac discussed Lucy’s affair and Kevin was horrified about how long she’s been sleeping with Scott and couldn’t believe she’d been lying to everyone. Kevin then accused Felicia of knowing about it and wondered how she kept it from Mac. Then, Scott came in and told Kevin that he and Lucy loved each other. Kevin decked him. Scott assured Kevin that he wouldn’t press charges against him or Mac for his sucker punch a few months ago. Then, Scott left and Kevin realized that Mac knew about the affair. He couldn’t believe Mac let him look like a fool and then he punched Mac in the face. Mac punched him back and they start brawling around The Floating Rib. Afterward, with both of them beaten, they share a bottle of beer each and a laugh.

At The Metro Court, Felicia comforted Lucy after The Ball. They were then accosted by the paparazzi as they exited, and Bobbie joined in, upset for Scott. Felicia lead the media off with an exclusive while Bobbie accused Lucy of getting jealous that Scott was with her (Bobbie) on the red carpet. Lucy then brought up what she heard about Bobbie getting dumped for a virgin. Then, their fighting escalated, and Bobbie slapped Lucy. Lucy smacked her back. They slung insults back and forth while swatting at each other as the paparazzi filmed the whole thing. Lucy begged them to not run the footage of her fighting over Scott, and Felicia asked them to use her exclusive about a Scorpio running for mayor instead, but they weren’t interested, so she offered up her Aztec necklace as a payoff. Lucy forbade Felicia from giving up her heirloom necklace, but Felicia insisted. The paparazzi took the necklace and later, Felicia deletes the photos and footage and commented that she was going to have to run for mayor after all. Later, Scott saw Lucy and Felicia hugging and snuck out, unseen.

At home, Alexis joined Julian in her bedroom, hopeful Molly didn’t see him sneak in. He told her that he was ready to bring their relationship out in the open but she said she wasn’t yet. She wanted to know about his first time and he told her it was a girl named Janice back in New York. He then laid out a plot from “The Sopranos” and she called him on it. He finally admitted it was a cheerleader, but he didn’t remember her name and that he never saw her again because she didn’t mean anything to him, but Alexis did Then, he kissed her and they make love on the bed. Afterward, she asked him to stay the night and he happily agreed.

Jordan joined Shawn at the closed Kelly’s and they discussed how great TJ and Molly were on stage. Jordan was glad to have met Alexis and asked if there was tension there. He admitted that they had dated, but was reluctant to tell her why they broke up. Jordan then talked about when TJ’s father was alive and how they all hung out. She added that she lost their friendship when Tommy died. Shawn replied that he missed those days too. They then leaned in close, but he pulled away. He then told her they had crossed a line with their jobs they couldn’t come back from.

In their apartment, Lulu played with Rocco while Dante comforted Olivia on the phone. Later, Dante accused Sonny of being selfish and promised to never be like him. He then pulled Lulu close and told her how precious she was to him. She replied that she would rather he show her. Later, Anna arrived with the DNA results of the embryo. It was theirs! She congratulated them and Dante apologized that it came at the cost of letting Obrecht go. Anna replied that she was sure she’d get another crack at her. After Anna left, Dante told Lulu that they could wait a while on the embryo, but Lulu was ready to move now, without a surrogate. She thought there was another option... her.

Julian woke up at Alexis’ house and left a message for “Luke” to meet to discuss business. Alexis overheard and asked questions. He replied that he’d rather talk about their sleepover and they had another round. Afterward, Julian told Alexis that he was happier than he’d ever been, that he’d gone from having nothing to having it all. Then, she told him that if he really wanted a relationship with his family he’d have to leave the mob. She suggested he turn his publishing company from a cover to a legit business. Julian then admitted that he had someone else to report to. She promised to help him, but only if he told her who he was working for. He replied that the info was “radioactive” and would put everyone she loved in danger.

At the Quartermaine mansion, “Luke” fumes about the ELQ shakeup as Tracy slept. She grabbed his phone and asked who "JJ" was , who called Luke and he told her it was Jax trying to collect on a loan. She promised to return “Luke’s” phone after he made love to his new bride, but he put her off saying that he couldn’t get past Ned’s treachery. Tracy said she was angry at Ned too, but she’d rather go on a honeymoon first. She then thought that Edward was probably proud of Ned, standing up for her one minute, then ousting her the next. She then reminded “Luke” that he only came on board to spend time with her and now they have nothing but time. She then invited him to bed, so he pretended Tracy was Kiki and dove in. Later, she suggested brunch but he said he was off to see Lulu and the baby. She wanted to come with but he made it sound unappealing so she wouldn’t.

Duke found Sonny by the pier and told him that Tracy was out at ELQ and Michael was the new CEO. Sonny replied that he knew what the company means to Michael and AJ. Duke wanted to focus on the Jeromes and told Sonny that Julian had a new drug shipment coming that night. He suggested getting Anna involved and combining their sources with Anna’s sway. Sonny agreed, hoping to flush Julian’s partner out of hiding. Then, Duke left to go see Anna and “Luke” arrived, surprising Sonny. He told Sonny that times were dangerous and it might be good to keep Michael away from ELQ. Sonny told “Luke” that Michael made his own decisions. “Luke” then told Sonny that the word on the street was that the Jeromes had him on the ropes. Sonny smiled and “Luke” asked if he was planning something on Julian? Sonny left the question unanswered.

Michael apologized to Edward’s portrait at ELQ for ousting Tracy. He promised that as long as he was in charge the company would remain in Quartermaine hands. Then Kiki came in and asked if he was done working for Sonny. He told her that Sonny never needed him at the restaurant anyway. Michael then considered handing the reins to Ned, but Kiki encouraged him to use this opportunity to honor AJ and make his legacy count for something. Tracy caught them kissing and told him that Ned’s vote was only as a gesture to AJ’s memory. Michael then insisted to Tracy that “Luke” was playing her. Michael then added that he used to believe that “Luke” had a code, a line he wouldn’t cross, but not anymore. Kiki then told Tracy about Luke’s assault and Michael reminded her of all the betrayal and underhanded things “Luke” had done in the past, even forcing himself on Laura. How well did Tracy really know him, they asked her?

At Kelly’s, Jordan gifted TJ with an early graduation gift…keys to a brand new car. Shawn seethed as TJ ran out to see it. He then accused Jordan of buying the car with drug money. She told him to keep quiet or she’d tell TJ the truth about what Shawn did to his dad. TJ caught them arguing and asked Jordan to quit making Shawn feel bad about the accident that caused his dad’s death.

Duke met Anna outside and told her there was a drug shipment coming in that night. He then told her that he had a flash drive with info, but she was reluctant to take it in order to help Sonny. He assured her that it wasn’t about Sonny, but rather stopping Julian. Anna wanted something in return… for Duke to leave the mob. He sidestepped her request and reminded her that she could have everything she needed to put Julian behind bars for life so she took the drive.

At Kelly's, Duke told Sonny that the Jeromes’ operation would be going down that night. Shawn joined them and Sonny filled him in. Shawn thought Sonny made the wrong call by going to the cops and accused him of being as bad as Julian. Sonny was sure this was the only way for them to survive. He then headed off. Shawn then blames all of this on Duke and told him that TJ was about to lose his mother. Duke reminded him of all the damage that Julian had done and warned him not to warn Jordan about what was coming.

TJ arrived at the gallery and caught Jordan discussing a drug deal on the phone. He quizzed her and she said that she was just importing some vases from Columbia. TJ bought that and he said that he was sure she wouldn't have anything to do with drugs again. They hugged and TJ left, then Shawn showed up.

At Alexis', Julian tore himself away from her and said he would see her later. She apologized for asking him to leave his boss. They kissed and he headed off. She then called Ric over and asked him to let Julian out of the business. Ric insisted he wasn’t Julian's boss. She didn’t believe him and continued to beg. He repeated himself and explained that Elizabeth was giving him another chance. Alexis then made him swear on Molly's life that he wasn’t a mob boss. He did so she finally believed him.

“Luke” was on the docks. Tracy called him but he rescheduled their lunch. Julian showed up and informed him that he was quitting the mob. That didn’t go over well and made no sense to “Luke”. "Now I've got something to lose," Julian explained about having Alexis, Sam, Lucas and Danny to think about now and said it was time for him to go legit. “Luke” then reminded Julian how all of his legitimate businesses were started with mob money and how “Luke” still needed them to launder his money. Julian was still adamant about leaving. “Luke” told him there would be consequences if he tried to walk away. They exchanged threats until they finally shook hands and wished each other good luck. "You're going to need it," Luke mumbled as Julian walks away.

“Luke” headed to Alexis' with his gun.

At their apartment, Lulu told Dante that she wanted to carry their baby. He reminded her that was not an option. She told him that she had her doubts and explained that there were surgeries she could have. Dante thought I was too risky and a surrogate would be the safest bet, but Lulu wasn’t so sure. He then got a call from Anna and had to head to work. Once he was gone, Lulu called for a consultation appointment.

Nikolas tracks Elizabeth down at GH. She told him that she was moving out of Wyndemere. He suspected there was something going on. Elizabeth then told Nikolas that she was giving Ric another chance. Nikolas thought she was making a huge mistake. He then listed Ric's flaws and crimes, but she claimed that what she had with him was real and could be again. Then, Nikolas kisses her, but she pushed him away. They bickered and she reminded him that he picked Britt. "There's never going to be an us," she shot back, explaining that the timing would never be right for them and that she was choosing Ric. He thought she was just afraid. She repeated herself then walked out, running into Ric in the hall. They left together.
