Sonny: It means I have a plan.

Michael: Plan? What kind of plan, Dad? And what's the downside if things don't go your way?

Sonny: Michael, I love you more than anything... but you're going to have to let this go. If your mom and I agree on anything, it's that we don't want you getting caught in the middle.

Michael: Well, Dad, there's no way around that one. I am in the middle. I'm your son. I'm Mom's son. But this isn't just about me, Dad, it's about Josslyn, too. Don't you think she misses Avery?

Sonny: [Sighs] Yes.

Michael: And Avery misses Mom? Whatever the fallout is from this, you can't shield us.

Sonny: I'm going to try.

Michael: Dad, Dad, stop. Look, can us kids handle divorce? Yes. But right now Mom has all of the leverage, and she's not afraid to use it. If you're not careful, you can even get sent out of the country. You'll have to leave, spend the next couple of years in the Caribbean. Is that what you really want? You can't leave Avery with Ava. You'd have to take Avery with you. Again, Dad, is that what you really want -- to take Avery away from the rest of her family and to go into exile?

Sonny: What I really want, Michael, is to keep what's mine, and that's exactly what I'm going to do.

Ava: Well, I think it's obvious why I care that you and Sonny are divorcing. I'm an interested third party. Now, you neglected to tell me that you're representing Carly Corinthos.

Martina: Uh, I don't know you. We literally just bumped into each other. I don't go around announcing who my clients are.

Carly: Thank you for your discretion. Ava knows it's none of her business.

[Keys jingle]

Ava: Yes, well, it's true that we did meet accidentally. I came in and knocked over her briefcase -- papers flying everywhere -- and I helped her collect them and we started chatting, and when I found out that she's a well-respected attorney with a specialty in family matters, well... my ears, they perked right up.

Martina: As I told you, I'm based in Los Angeles. I'm only in Port Charles for this one case. I'm not in the market for other business. Once I'm done representing Carly, I'm back to the west coast.

Ava: I've known a lot of lawyers in my life, and when they say that something can't happen, I think that it's them saying that they just want to keep that conversation going. See if I'll sweeten the pot. So, come on... there's got to be something I can do or say to get you to reconsider.

Jason: Hey.

Sam: Jason? Where have you been? I was expecting to hear from you over an hour ago.

Jason: Yeah, I know. There were a few hiccups trying to get from Athens to this little village across from Cassadine Island.

Sam: I should've come with you.

Jason: And what? Leave Scout and Danny alone with your mother? No, I don't think so. Besides, other than just a little jet lag, everything's good.

Sam: What about that information I was able to dig up for you? Did it help?

Jason: I'm following up on that now, and actually, honey, I need to go.

Sam: Be careful.

Jason: I'm always careful.

Sam: You're such a liar.

Elizabeth: Sam.

Sam: Elizabeth.

Elizabeth: Hey, hi. What are you doing here? Is Scout okay?

Sam: Yeah, uh, yeah. She's great. Danny's home with Kristina and Molly. She just came along for the ride. I actually came here to tell you something.

Elizabeth: Okay.

Sam: I was wond--

Franco: Hey.

Elizabeth: Hey.

Franco: Is this a private conversation?

Elizabeth: Sam was just about to tell me something. I'm assuming it's about Jake?

Sam: No. You know what? It can wait. I want to get home to Danny, after all.

Elizabeth: Sam, wait. Wait. This alliance or whatever we're calling our group concern to help Jake... it involves all four of us, including Franco.

Sam: Okay. Well, w-w-what I'm going to say has nothing to do with Jake.

Elizabeth: Oh. I see.

Franco: I don't.

Elizabeth: It's about Jason.

[Jason loads a gun and places it on the table covered with a cloth.]

Carly: Why are you so on fire to get a new attorney, Ava?

Ava: Well, I need an expert in family law, and Martina tells me that's her specialty.

Martina: She told me she needed an attorney about a custody issue.

Carly: Ava is the biological mother of Sonny's youngest daughter, Avery. And Ava's hoping she can use the divorce as an opening to challenge the current custody situation. But you can't.

Ava: Do you think that I would kick Sonny when he's down, like you did to me at last year's Nurses' Ball, to marginalize my presence in my daughter's life?

Carly: The difference is, I have leverage and you don't. So, if you're done.

Ava: Oh, Carly. As charm-free as ever. It really was a pleasure meeting you.

Carly: [Sighs] Okay, well, I guess it's a good thing you met Ava. Not that Avery's custody will come up in the divorce, but ugh.

Martina: Are you as confident as you sound?

Carly: Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Sonny and I can fight until we drop about business, but not about Avery. We're in full agreement on that. She belongs with Sonny. He has my support, and there's nothing Ava can do to change that.

[Ava surreptitiously takes a picture of Carly with Martina.]

Michael: I did some research on Mom's lawyer. She's got a reputation for going for broke.

Sonny: So does Diane.

Michael: Yes, but Diane's the one who drew up the documents where you signed everything over to Mom. All Mom's lawyer has to do is prove that they're valid.

Sonny: What if this lawyer isn't as good as you think she is? Everybody has weaknesses.

Michael: What...you're talking like you already know something about this woman.

Sonny: Very simple -- she's too confident. She shows her cards, not like Diane, who doesn't give it all away until she has to, and then she just goes for the kill.

Michael: Yes, I know. Diane's the best there is. That's why we have to get her to drag this out as long as possible, okay?

Sonny: Yes.

Michael: The longer this divorce takes, the more time Mom has to realize that the best thing for both of you is to take out of this marriage what you brought into it, right? So, she'll take the hotel, she'll take the house, all of her holdings, and you take yours.

Sonny: I agree.

Michael: And eventually, she will see that. She'll see that. It might take six months or a year, I don't know. But I'll be working on her the entire time. Okay, and then with any luck, this whole mess you made of Jax and Immigration and Customs will get sorted out --

Sonny: Jax made his own mess! Let's not forget that.

Michael: Dad, Dad, you took advantage, and you got him deported, which is why Mom's so pissed off that she wants to take everything from you. D-d-don't you see what's happening here? If you and Mom keep acting on your worst impulses, it's only going to wreck the both of you.

[Cell phone ringing]

[Sonny receives Ava's picture with the text: "We need to talk. On my way."]

Michael: Dad? What is it?

Franco: Sam, I know that it makes you uncomfortable to be around me. I get it. So, why don't you guys just talk?

Elizabeth: No, Franco, wait. Wait. Whatever you tell me, I'm going to turn around and tell him, so...

Sam: Okay. Okay, fine. I was going to tell you that Jason is on his way to Cassadine Island.

Daphne: You.

Jason: Hi, Daphne. It's been a long time. Relax. I'm not going to hurt you. I just want to talk.

Daphne: I'm working. How did you find me?

Jason: Well, do you remember my wife, Sam? We met last summer, Cassadine Island? I can tell you she is very resourceful.

Daphne: I can't lose this job.

Jason: I don't see why you would. You're just waiting on a customer.

Daphne: What do you want from me? I've done nothing wrong.

Jason: That's a matter of opinion. Do you remember the people I was traveling with last summer? Dante, Lulu? Helena did quite a bit to hurt them, and you helped her.

Daphne: I already talked to the Greek authorities.

Jason: Yes, you did. You haven't talked to me yet.

Daphne: Everything I told the police was true. Helena used me just like she used everyone else!

Jason: Lower your voice, please. I believe you. I know she used you.

Daphne: I don't understand. Why are you here? And why are you looking for me?

Jason: I'm here about another one of Helena's victims, a child. Do you recognize this boy? His name is Jake.

Franco: I can't say I'm surprised. When we were all trying to figure out what was going on with that chimera, I kind of thought Jason was going to take off and go to Cassadine Island.

Elizabeth: You did?

Sam: And that's what freaks me out, really, because nothing good ever happens on that godforsaken Island.

Elizabeth: I know. But if Helena did something to Jake, then the clues are on that Island.

Sam: Okay. Do me a favor... if Jake happens to give you a clue or draws something, anything I can pass along to Jason, please...

Elizabeth: You'll be my first call.

Sam: Okay.

Martina: Okay, let's go over this one more time. [Sighs] Carly?

Carly: Yeah, I'm sorry. What were you saying?

Martina: I-I presented you with several strategies, and you chose the extreme "take no prisoners" approach, meaning you want all of Sonny's assets that he's already signed over to you.

Carly: Do you think the judge is going to think I'm greedy or vindictive?

Martina: Not if we play our cards right. Sonny voluntarily signed the properties over to you. And you're not keeping them to spite him -- you're protecting the trust for the children. And speaking of children, I-I really think we need to revisit Michael testifying.

Carly: No, no. He'll refuse, and he already made it clear he doesn't want to take sides.

Martina: Yeah, but if you tell him you need to get him involved...

Carly: But I don't. I don't. That's important to Sonny and me. We don't want this divorce to affect our kids -- his or mine. And you know that's the one thing that's causing me pause in all of this is that, you know, if Sonny has to leave the country, that means he's going to have to take Avery with him. And she won't be able to see her siblings. I mean, I know they can fly down, but I won't be able to see her at all. But that's kind of good, right? I mean, Sonny's going to get to spend a lot of a long time with Avery, and he's such a good father.

Martina: I-I don't get you, Carly. I mean, this is the second time tonight that you've spoken up for Sonny. So, what's the story? Are you divorcing him or defending him?

Sonny: It's, uh -- it's Ava. We -- we did the preschool interview for Avery together. Now she's coming out to discuss it.

Michael: [Sighs] Okay. Man, I cannot believe my baby sister's going to be in preschool. I...I feel like I haven't spent any quality time with her in months.

Sonny: Nanny took her to the park. You want to go to the park? You want to hang with your little sister? Unless you're too busy now being Mr. CEO.

Michael: Okay. Actually, I-I, uh, clocked out for the day, and anyone needs to reach me, they have my e-mail, so a trip to the park with Avery has my name written all over it. I'm going to do that. Oh, and Dad -- remember what I said. Time is your friend, okay? Get Diane to delay this divorce as long as possible. You'll be doing us all a favor.

Sonny: Yeah.

Michael: All right?

Sonny: All right, yep.

Michael: [Sighs]

[Doorbell rings]

Ava: I told Max I texted you...

Sonny: Yeah?

Ava: ...That you knew I was coming.

Sonny: What do you want?

Ava: Well, Sonny, I really appreciate you taking the time to see me. You won't regret it.

Sonny: No. But you might.

Ava: Is Avery upstairs? Does our genius daughter know that she's gonna be attending the premier preschool in town?

Sonny: Avery's in the park with her nanny.

Ava: Ah. One of your housekeepers' many nieces, correct?

Sonny: Pilar is Graciela's granddaughter. Avery loves her. It's just a beautiful thing to see.

Ava: Mm. Still, I think it's too bad that Avery must spend so much time with caretakers, no matter how beloved.

Sonny: It's funny you should say that 'cause Michael's at the park, because he's going to hang with his little sister. [Laughs] Okay.

Ava: That's nice. I think it's wonderful when the family comes together, and I think it's equally sad when a family is torn apart.

Sonny: Ava.

Ava: What?

Sonny: Don't do that.

Ava: No, Sonny, I just -- I just want to tell you that I admire you for fighting for what's rightfully yours by any means necessary. I take it you got the picture I texted you?

Sonny: What about it?

Ava: Well, that woman that I saw you with at the Haunted Star was no random beauty. She's Carly's divorce attorney. [Chuckles] So typical of you to get her into bed. Talk about leverage. I guess you're thinking that you could use her little indiscretion to force her to sabotage Carly's case.

Sonny: No comment.

Ava: But then again, if Carly were to find out that you bedded her lawyer...

Sonny: Ava. I hope... you didn't come here to threaten me.

Carly: I'm not defending Sonny, at least not as a husband. But he's a good father, and the kids are not an issue in this divorce. I mean, our marriage just got to a place of irreconcilable differences.

Martina: I always tell my clients to separate yourself from your emotions. Think of this as a break-up of a corporation. There's no place for sentiment. It's just cold, hard facts.

Carly: Okay.

Martina: You have to protect your own assets, make sure he has no claim to your hotel.

Carly: Oh, he doesn't.

Martina: Good, good. Open solo bank accounts in your name, if you haven't already. Same goes for credit cards. And start a journal.

Carly: A journal?

Martina: Yeah.

Carly: I mean, isn't that what a therapist will tell you to do -- write down your feelings? [Laughs]

Martina: What did I just tell you? It's not about your emotions -- it's about fact. So, take stock of everything in your marriage, everything you've put into your marriage time-wise, mentally, financially.

Carly: I'm not following.

Martina: Uh...okay, for example, you seemed to have acted as a mother figure to Sonny's child with Ava.

Carly: Oh, but that was easy. I love Avery.

Martina: Yes, but it's still your time and effort. All right, how about... did Sonny ever have any illnesses or surgeries you helped him recuperate from?

Carly: He was shot, and he was in a wheelchair for about six months.

Martina: And you stood right by him. That's exactly what I'm talking about. [Sighs] In the meantime, you need to make a list of all the ways that Sonny tried to undermine your best efforts to make the marriage work.

Carly: I thought this was a "no fault" state.

Martina: Yeah, well, judges are human beings, not emotionless calculators. So, when it comes to a valuation of what's yours and what's his, everything matters.

Carly: Wow.

Martina: Which brings me to your wedding rings. I notice you're not wearing them.

Carly: No, I took them off this morning.

Martina: You need to put them back on.

Michael: Hey, Avery. Do you want to see a surprise?

Avery: Yes.

Michael: Yes? [Laughs] It's a mouse. Yeah, our dad taught me that one. Want to see the mouse dance?

Avery: Mm-hmm.

Nelle: Yes, please.

Charlotte: Do we have to go already? Can't we just wait a little longer?

Nelle: No, I'm sorry. The launch is about to come. But we can come back tomorrow.

Michael: You can stay for a little bit. I'm sure the launch pilot wouldn't mind.

Daphne: Cute little boy. Who is he?

Jason: He's my son. Have you ever seen him before?

Daphne: No, never. I swear I'm not lying. I heard rumors Helena had a little boy living with her. She claimed she rescued him when a boat sank one stormy night and his parents were lost at sea.

Jason: But you never saw her with the boy?

Daphne: For all I knew, it was just another one of Helena's lies. I don't have to tell you how evil that woman was. She belonged on that horrible Island, and I couldn't wait to leave it.

Jason: Speaking of horrible Island... ...does any of this look familiar?

Franco: Look, if Jason's a little freaked out, that's a good thing, right? Means he'll be cautious.

Sam: Of course, he's going to be cautious. This is about his love for his son, and that makes him... vulnerable. Ugh, that's a word I never thought I'd use to describe Jason.

[Phone rings]

Elizabeth: It's not Jake, is it?

Franco: No. Hey, would you excuse us for a second, please?

Sam: Yeah, sure.

Franco: Thanks. So, I have an appointment, and I thought I could put it off, but...

Elizabeth: Is this about the art commission you're hoping to get?

Franco: Yeah, well, something like that.

Elizabeth: Okay, don't tell me. Just surprise me, okay?

Franco: Okay. Have I told you today that I love you?

Elizabeth: Yes, but it's always nice to hear it again.

Franco: I love you.

[Elevator bell dings]

[Scout fussing]

Elizabeth: Is she waking up?

Sam: She's a little flushed. I think she has a fever.

Elizabeth: She feels a little warm, but I don't think it's anything serious.

Sam: Oh, come on, you know how difficult her birth was. I didn't have her in a hospital. Her immune system could be compromised.

Elizabeth: I really think some fluids and a good nap, she'll be just fine.

Sam: Please, we're at the hospital. Can you just call a doctor? Please?

Elizabeth: Yes, yeah. I will get the on-call pediatrician to take a look at her. But really, I think she's going to be all right.

Jason: You see the scarecrow is repeated. It's here, it's in this book. Now, does that or any of these other illustrations strike a chord with you?

Daphne: Where did you get this?

Jason: Helena. She left it to Jake's mom in her will.

Daphne: Maybe it's just a harmless fairy tale.

Jason: There is no harmless when it comes to Helena. And I'm willing to bet that these aren't some random drawings in a kid's storybook, that they exist in some form on Cassadine Island, or at least they used to.

Daphne: Yes, it's possible.

Jason: There you go. That's wasn't so hard. I'm not such a bad guy, am I?

Daphne: Please, no more questions and no more talk about Cassadine Island.

Jason: I agree with you about no more talk, because you are going to take me there right now.

Nelle: Michael, do you mind if Charlotte takes Avery over there to look at the flowers? They're just really pretty right now.

Michael: Yeah, yeah. Charlotte, make sure you hold Avery's hand, okay?

Charlotte: Come on.

Michael: Well, it looks like your new job's going well.

Nelle: Uh, yeah, well, Charlotte's a pretty adorable kid, so it makes my job really easy. Speaking of work, what are you doing here with Avery? I mean, are things that crazy at ELQ that you need a break?

Michael: No, no, no, it's not ELQ. It's my parents. Yeah, I'm kind of tired of being stuck in the middle of their tug-of-war. When it comes to Mom and Dad, there's no such thing as "amicable divorce."

Nelle: I guess you can blame me for that one.

Michael: No, no, it's not that.

Nelle: No? You don't?

Michael: No, at this point, it's on them. What I'd really like is for them to give each other some space and time. I tried to convince my mom to take Josslyn to Australia, but of course she refused. She thought she had to stay here to protect me from you, which is ridiculous. I'll see you if I want to see you. It doesn't matter anyway, since you're just an excuse --

Nelle: Wait, wait, wait. Back up, back up. Did you just say you told you Mom you would see me if you want to see me?

Carly: I have them right here. Yeah, I noticed that Sonny took his off. So I took mine off.

Martina: Well, that's exactly why you should put your rings back on -- because Sonny took his off. I-I know it may seem small, but it makes a statement about your marriage. Sonny is more than ready to move on, while you -- the aggrieved party of the first part -- is still invested in your marriage and has every right to the assets you've claimed.

Carly: Well, Alexis was right. You think of everything.

Martina: Not always.

Carly: Yeah.

André: Carly, I'm sorry for interrupting, but do you have a minute?

Carly: Yes, I do. Of course, I do. Um, Dr. André Maddox, this is my attorney, Martina Morales.

Martina: Pleasure to meet you.

André: You, too.

Martina: Okay, so, I'm going to go read up on the holdings of the party of the second part, and I'll probably be back with some more questions.

Carly: Great, yeah, I'll be here.

André: Lawyer?

Carly: Sonny and I are getting divorced.

André: I'm so sorry to hear that. I was hoping that once you guys got the results back for Morgan's pills, that might finally let old wounds heal.

Carly: You haven't seen or talked to Sonny?

André: About?

Carly: We got the lab analysis back. Whatever caused Morgan to spiral out of control, it wasn't the pills.

Sonny: You go ahead and tell Carly what you think you know about her attorney and me. See where that gets you, Ava.

Ava: I saw what I saw, Sonny. You, hitting on a beautiful woman, who happens to be Carly's divorce attorney.

Sonny: Yeah?

Ava: And then I saw you following Martina down the hall into her stateroom. Now, would you really need to take off your wedding band to just play cards?

Sonny: Well, that's your spin. You -- you saw what you wanted to see. What if she was hitting on me? I mean, she's the stranger in town. I'm Carly's husband. I don't know her from Adam, but she sure as hell knew who I was.

Ava: Are you telling me that Martina seduced you?

Sonny: Do you blame her? Can you prove she didn't? Okay, you know what, you go ahead and tell Carly what you think you saw, and she's just going to fire Martina and get another cutthroat lawyer. And guess what -- to show you my appreciation, you will not get anywhere near Avery. And I'm not talking not even a mile.

Ava: Oh, really? Well, how is that going to happen, actually? Because the only leverage you have against me is leverage that Carly provided.

Sonny: See, here's the thing you don't know about us, me and Carly -- no matter how pissed off we are at each other, when it comes to the kids, we always come together. And she loves Avery, and she doesn't want Avery in your hands full-time. So, if that's where you think you're going, think again.

Ava: Sonny, I don't want to make trouble for you.

Sonny: Okay.

Ava: It's quite the opposite, really. So if I say silent about what I know, surely there must be something you can offer me?

Sam: Thanks for not pointing out how badly I overreacted.

Elizabeth: Well, is it possible you're on edge, because your husband is halfway around the world investigating Cassadine Island, a place that haunts both of us?

Sam: Okay, well, that's the nicest "I told you so" I've ever heard.

Elizabeth: Like you said, Scout had a rough entry into the world. What mother wouldn't be overly cautious and protective of her? I would have done the same exact thing.

Michael: You got to love the irony, right? My family's a dysfunctional mess, yet my mom is trying to give me advice on my personal life.

Nelle: Let me guess. She warned you away from a woman, my size, my face, just without one kidney?

Michael: [Scoffs] Yeah, she was certain that I'd be snowed by you not testifying against Jax. That I would forget everything that happened.

Charlotte: We picked some daisies for you.

Michael: Oh, wow, they're beautiful. These for me?

Charlotte: No, silly, they're for you to give to Nelle.

Nelle: [Laughs]

Carly: I think Sonny and I were both hoping that the lab would say that the wrong pills were in the bottle or they were somehow tainted or something, but... they were lithium, as you prescribed. And there was the exact right amount in the bottle that goes with Morgan's journal entry that he was taking his pills as scheduled, so.

André: As a doctor, you're always relieved to hear that there wasn't a mistake made by the pharmacy, but...as a person... I was so hoping the lab would've found that it was a bad batch. I am so sorry, Carly. I wish I could've been more help, given you some answers.

Carly: God, it's hard for me to say this, but... or to admit to this, but sometimes there just aren't any. I'm never going to know why the pills worked so well before and then they just stopped. Nothing "caused" Morgan's last manic spiral. It just happened.

Sonny: You really want something from me?

Ava: I'm not asking for the moon. This weekend is supposed to be beautiful, and I would very much like to spend it with our daughter. And I know that you're going to be focusing your energy on prepping for court, which is as it should be, so...win-win for everybody, isn't it?

Sonny: You're working overtime to spin this.

Ava: I'm not spinning anything. I just want for us to do what we were able to do in the office at the preschool -- work together as a team for Avery. For the sole purpose of making Avery's life better. That's all I want.

Sonny: Who do you think you're talking to, Ava? You don't think I know you? There's nothing selfless or noble about you. You think you can try to take advantage of my breakup with Carly? No, you can't.

Ava: Think what you want about me. But I know you know that I'm not stupid. I'm not going to threaten you, especially when I know that it's much better to work with you. So, come on, what do you say? Will you go for the weekend, then? Excellent. I will take that as a "Yes," and I'll be here on Friday to pick Avery up. And thank you very much.

Sonny: Hey. You know that thing I planned for? I'm ready to pull the trigger. Do it now.

Sam: Thanks for being so patient with me.

Elizabeth: I'm just returning the favor.

Sam: For what?

Elizabeth: You dealing with Franco while we all try to help Jake. I know it's not easy for you.

Sam: No, it's not. But, at the end of the day, this is about Jake.

Elizabeth: I appreciate that. Take your little girl home. You guys can both get some rest.

Sam: Thank you.

Elizabeth: See you later.

Sam: Bye.

[Cell phone chimes]

Elizabeth: [Sighs] What are you up to, Franco?

Jason: What time is your shift over?

Daphne: Any minute.

Jason: Perfect. Get your stuff. We're going to need a boat to get over to Cassadine Island.

Daphne: No one wants to go to that terrible place.

Jason: Someone needs to make a little extra money. I'm positive of that.

Daphne: Please, don't make me go back there!

Jason: Relax. Helena's dead. She can't hurt you anymore.

Daphne: You're underestimating what that woman's evil spirit can do. That storybook made its way to you after she died, didn't it?

Jason: Yes, it did, because she wrote that into her will. There is not a mystery in it.

Daphne: Please. I'll only get in your way. I'll draw you a map.

Jason: Fine. Draw the map.

Daphne: All you have to do is follow these directions. It'll take you to the place you're looking for.

Jason: You better hope so. And if you're lying to me, I promise you, I'll come back for you.

Michael: Uh, Nelle? These are for you.

Nelle: Thank you. They're beautiful, Michael.

[Footsteps approach]

Ava: Is this a private party? Or is there room for one more?

Michael: Can you excuse me for one second?

Nelle: Yes. Hey, let's go arrange the daisies. Come on, come on.

Michael: [Exhales]

Ava: Hey.

Michael: Hi.

Ava: I'd like to see my daughter, please.

Michael: Yeah, well, this isn't your day, and my dad didn't say anything about an extra visit, so...

Ava: I just came from his house. He's fine with it.

Michael: Well, I just texted him. We'll see if that's the case.

Ava: Okay. This is ridiculous, you know. You act like I'm going to run off with her tucked under my arm. She's my daughter!

Michael: Yeah, so is Kiki, and look at all the horrible things you did to her.

[Cell phone rings]

Ava: Well?

Michael: You can see Avery...

Ava: Like I said.

Michael: ...For 15 minutes, then I'm taking her home.

Ava: Something that's remarkable -- you're not even Sonny's biological child, but somehow you're exactly like him. There she is! There's my girl! Come, come, come! Oh, I'm so happy to see you! And I can't wait to tell you about the nice lady that I spoke to today.

Avery: Who?

Ava: The lady that runs the school you're going to be going to. Avery, you're going to have so much fun there.

Charlotte: Now you tell Nelle she's prettier than the flowers.

Michael: Much prettier. And so are you, Charlotte.

Nelle: Hey, why don't we share these. Hmm?

Charlotte: Okay.

Ava: I have the very best news.

Avery: What?

Ava: You and Mommy are going to be spending a lot more time together.

Avery: Are you going to -- are you going to put me in your car?

Ava: Yes.

Avery: Why?

Ava: Let's go together.

André: Why he stopped responding to treatment... it still bothers me.

Carly: I think that's the one thing that Sonny and I still agree on.

André: Divorce is difficult under the best of circumstances. After the death of a child, it can be devastating. Listen...if you ever need to talk to someone, professionally or personally, my door is always open.

Carly: Thank you. That's really kind of you. And I may take you up on that. One day, just...right now, I need to follow my attorney's advice and go over all the paperwork and get ready for court.

André: Well, before I let you go, is it possible for me to get a copy of the lab results of Morgan's medications? I want to include them in his file.

Carly: Sure. Oh, actually, Sonny gave it to me.

[Papers rustling]

Carly: Yes, I have it. Right here. There you go. You can keep it. I...I don't need it.

André: Thank you, and you take care. That can't be right. I know I prescribed 600 milligrams... Jackie, pull the Morgan Corinthos file.

[Door opens, closes]

Sonny: [Sighs] Thanks for meeting me.

Martina: Like I had a choice. What do you want, Sonny?

On the next "General Hospital" --

Valentin (to Anna): So why don't you just tell me why you're here.

Nina (to Nathan): I'm not going to back down from a fight.

Lulu (to Laura): If that means I have to play nice with the Cassadines for a little while, then so be it.

Jason (to Franco): What the hell are you doing here?

Carly (to Bobbie): Sonny started this, and I'm gonna finish it.

Martina: Why do I feel like there's a catch?

Sonny: Because there is.
