At the cemetery, Molly tells Kristina that her sweet, innocent baby is buried right here because of her. Molly yells that Kristina wants to blame Ava, but she went to Ava’s room to pick a fight. TJ tries to intervene and tells Molly not today, but Molly calls Kristina selfish and self-absorbed. Alexis begs Molly to stop it, prompting Molly to lash out at her mother for being right on time defending Kristina. She fumes that Kristina never has to take accountability or responsibility for anything she does. Molly asks her mother if that is why she was so eager to get her law license back, so she could help Kristina steal her baby? Alexis breaks down in tears.

Sam tells Molly they know she’s devastated, but this isn’t helping. Molly pulls out the affidavit she found written for Kristina that was in her mother’s briefcase. She asks if her mother was going to file it before her baby was born or rip her child from her arms afterward and give her to Kristina. Molly knew Kristina was not going to give her her baby. Kristina admits, “No, I wasn’t.”

Kristina cries that the baby was part of her, and she nurtured her. Molly cries that she killed her! Kristina says she was her mother for eight months and Molly can’t take that away. Molly says mothers protect their children, and she is selfish and caused her baby’s death. Kristina cries that she loved her more than anything in the world. Molly fumes that she doesn’t know the meaning of love. She says her daughter died because of Kristina, and yells at her to admit she killed her baby. Kristina collapses to the ground in tears.

Kristina sobs that Molly is wrong, and that she loved her baby. TJ checks on Kristina and asks if she’s in any pain. Molly meanwhile reflects on her and Kristina’s discussion about her being the surrogate, along with Alexis warning them that no legal agreement would make the baby Molly’s. She flashes back to more arguments and disagreements between her and her sister over the baby.

Ric tells Molly they should get her home, but she won’t leave without TJ. TJ walks over to Molly, takes her hand, and they leave. Kristina continues to sob, and Sam casts a nasty look at Ric as Alexis cradles Kristina.

At the PCPD, Chase calls Brook Lynn to see how her mom’s segment is going. At Home & Heart, she tells him she has to go, as the caller, Myrna, is still attacking Lois’ accent on air.

Dante shows up to the set and informs Maxie that Lulu’s been moved to General Hospital. Dante explains she has had a setback, and has been moved there to handle her needs better. He wishes he had more information, but felt she’d want to know. Maxie thanks him.

Back on camera, Haven tells the caller, Myrna, that she was raised to know it’s bad manners to critique the way someone speaks. Haven tells their audience that they at Home & Heart encourage everyone to use their voice, and leave it to Deception help them with their skin.

Haven and Lois continue the broadcast. Haven introduces one of their new hosts, Pearl. Pearl reveals a new line of vegan handbags that will be available in the next segment.

Later, Haven tells Lois she was fantastic and is a natural. Brook Lynn says the numbers are great, and she sold the most products this quarter. Even Tracy tells Lois she did a great job.

Privately, Lois asks her daughter to be honest with her, is her accent unbearable? Brook Lynn tells her the numbers don’t lie, and she was a hit.

Tracy and Haven join them. Haven agrees that Lois was a hit, and so does social media. Haven wants to book her next appearance and make this a regular thing. Tracy suggests they not inflate Lois’ ego anymore, and they should head home. Tracy says they’ll set up a call to book their next appearance.

At the hospital, Liz takes care of Lulu when Laura arrives. She asks how her daughter is.

They step out, and Liz explains that Lulu is stable, but her liver is still failing. They don’t know why this is happening, and tests are being run. Liz says she’s doing everything she can to keep her comfortable. The nurse assures her that Lulu is in good hands here and that they will get her through this.

Laura knows what people must think about the situation: It’s hopeless, and she should let her daughter go. However, she knows Lulu is a fighter, and they need to give her every opportunity to come back to them.

Maxie arrives at the hospital and speaks to Liz about Lulu. Liz tells her what she can about Lulu, and encourages her to sit with and talk to her friend. She says many people who come out of comas recall what people said to them when they visited.

Dante returns to the station, and Chase asks about the funeral. Dante says it was a mess, and nothing can be said or done to help anyone. Chase asks why he’s not with his family today. Dante explains he got some unexpected news and needs to bury himself in work. Chase offers to listen. Dante says it’s Lulu, she’s been taken to General Hospital and has taken a turn for the worse.

Chase asks if Rocco knows, and Dante says he does. Chase asks Dante how he’s doing, knowing Lulu could be slipping away. Dante doesn’t know what he feels, or if he has a right to feel anything. He loves Sam, and he loves the life and family they created. Chase knows how great he and Sam are, but Lulu was his wife, and they have a child, so he can have complicated feelings for her too. Dante says they were divorced when the accident happened, and she was moving on with her life. He doesn’t think she’s lying in that bed dreaming about him.

Back at the hospital, Maxie sits with Lulu and paints her nails. She knows Lulu will pull through this as so many people need her. Maxie says that includes Dante. She thinks Dante still cares about Lulu, and he was the one who came and told her about her being moved here. She admits she never told Dante that Lulu was going to tell him that she still loved him and wanted him back. She didn’t think it would be fair to Dante, and he needed to move on. She tells Lulu it’s time for her to come back to them all now, and that includes Dante. Dante walks in just as Maxie says this.

Meanwhile, Liz talks to Laura. She says years ago, Lucky told her about Lulu’s aplastic anemia when she was a toddler and how strong she was for her then. She says Lulu needs that strength again now. Laura misses Lucky and wishes she knew where he was so she could bring him home.

A man is thrown in a cell somewhere. His hands and legs are shackled, he has a bag over his head, and he’s sat down on a stool. Later, a man pins him against the wall and removes his hood, and we see that it’s Lucky.

Curtis, Portia, Jordan, Stella and Marshall return to Curtis and Portia’s house. Stella and Marshall excuse themselves to gather food, and Portia brings up the tension between Molly’s father and her family. Jordan explains that Ric isn’t well-liked in this town and operates in a grey area. She explains he’s estranged from Sonny, and he and Alexis don’t get along, so he prefers to stay far from Port Charles. Curtis says Ric is still Molly’s father, and she clearly loves him.

On the porch, Molly tells TJ she’s sorry about what happened today. This should have been about healing and putting Irene to rest, and she turned it into something ugly. TJ says she doesn’t have to apologize, and sometimes, their emotions are too big to handle. He understands how she feels, and they will always be Irene’s parents. He promises they’ll figure out this grief together, and they embrace.

Back inside, Marshall and Stella discuss TJ, who Marshall says will need them more than ever now.

TJ confides in Jordan that Kristina was never going to give them their baby. She had an affidavit to keep the baby, and Alexis was helping her.

Portia has to go to the hospital, and hates leaving, but Curtis says they understand. Ric turns up at their door and meets Portia before she heads out. Portia tells him to make himself at home.

Curtis checks in on TJ and asks if he’s hanging in there. TJ says he doesn’t have a choice and keeps telling himself that time heals all wounds. Jordan says they are all here to lift him and Molly up. TJ says he’s grateful for them. TJ decides to check on Stella and Marshall.

Alone, Jordan tells Curtis that Kristina and Alexis were planning to steal TJ’s child. She says Kristina and Alexis had an affidavit all drawn up and ready to file. Curtis is stunned. Jordan says Kristina would never have thought about having a baby if it weren’t for Molly and TJ, and that Kristina would keep that baby would have been unforgivable. She also says that the child was TJ’s child, and she would have given Kristina and Alexis the fight of their life if that baby survived.

On the patio, Molly thanks her dad for coming, even though she knows he hates being in Port Charles. He says he’ll always be here when she needs him. Molly is drained, and she feels like she has fought a war. He thinks she won, but she says there are no victors here. Her relationship with Kristina is in pieces, and Mom is taking Kristina’s side as usual. Ric tells her that he’s proud of her for standing up for herself and her child. Molly knows that Sam and Alexis will gang up on her to try to forgive Kristina, but she never will forgive her. It’s Kristina’s fault that her baby is dead.

Alexis takes Kristina home and makes her daughter comfortable on the couch. She tries to make Kristina see that Molly is grieving too. Kristina says that doesn’t give Molly the right to blame her for her baby’s death. Alexis reminds her that she’s named after her sister Kristina, who she was often at odds with, but she misses her dearly. She tells Kristina that she and Molly have to find a way to work through this. Kristina insists she will never forgive Molly for blaming her for the baby’s death.

Next on General Hospital, Carly questions what Brennan wants from Jason, and Laura asks how the doctors missed this? Also, Lucky tells his captures that he’ll do whatever they need him to.
