Outside of Bobbie’s, Lucky sees Elizabeth inside ordering coffee. He heads in, and she is surprised to see him. They exchange smiles and flash back to their first meeting. Lucky tells her that she hasn’t changed, and they embrace. She assumes he’s exhausted. He is, but he’s also hungry and hopes the menu hasn’t changed with the place’s name, which he likes. Liz says it hasn’t and orders him a cheeseburger and onion rings. He thought he’d see her at General Hospital. She says she’s heading in now. He notes it’s a little late. She tells him that making your own hours is a perk of being head nurse. He congratulates her, and knows Aunt Bobbie would be proud. He was hoping they could sit and talk, and she agrees.

Lucky and Liz talk GH

Lucky digs into his burger, and Liz asks about what he’s been through. He briefly recounts the tale of his friend Isaiah, the crooked Sidwell, and Anna and Jason coming to his rescue. He says it wasn’t a big deal. Liz suggests he make it a big deal so their son thinks he was away for a good reason. She also knows he’s here for Lulu, not Aiden, so be mindful of what he says to him. He says he won’t make Aiden any promises he can’t keep. Liz has to head to the hospital, and he asks to accompany her.

Out front of Bobbie’s, Lucky compliments her sign. She asks if Carly told him she painted it, but he says he’d know her brushstroke anywhere. He asks about Aiden, but Liz feels it’s best he learns about Aiden from Aiden.

At Pentonville, Molly visits with her mother. She tells her mother she needs to do everything to defend herself, which does not include getting herself sent to prison so Sonny won’t be. Alexis sees Martin has a big mouth, and she thinks her best chance is to find the weapon she tossed. Molly says neither Sam nor the PCPD have found it so far. She is furious that her mother is putting her life on the line to protect Kristina. She asks who will pull Kristina back up from the brink when she screws up next time if their mother is behind bars. Alexis was hoping she and Sam would. Molly insists she won’t, and Kristina needs to admit to her mistakes before they can have a relationship. Alexis says Kristina is suffering from severe postpartum depression and can’t make right-minded decisions right now. Molly asks what about the lifetime of bad choices she’s made. Alexis says she’s a mother, and she has to protect her child. Molly takes that to mean only a mother can understand what she’s going through and storms off. Alexis tries to stop her from saying that’s not what she meant and mutters, “I’d do it for you too.”

Ric visits with Heather. She appreciates he hasn’t given up on her, as she hasn’t given up on herself. She tells Ric about her new cellmate and thinks if Alexis can win her case, then she can too. Ric says they are vastly different cases, and she killed multiple people. Heather insists she wasn’t born a serial killer, and something made her one. She says one day, her grandson will know why she went to prison, and she won’t let him think she was a killer at heart. She tells Ric she needs his help and that there must be some new tactic he can try.

Heather is glad she asked and wants someone who believes in her, like Molly believes in Alexis. Alexis asks Heather what Ric said about her case, having spotted them chatting in the visitors center. Heather reveals that the test results came in and it isn’t looking good for her. Alexis suggests she has more tests run and see if it paints a different picture. Heather likes the idea and finally has a bit of hope.

He wishes he had better news for all his clients. Ava assumes that he is speaking of Heather and calls her the town pariah. Ric points out Ava used to have that honor, and they both know what it feels like to have all of Port Charles hate you. He says Heather wants the right to live her life like anyone else.

Ric delivers news to Ava GH

Ric says Heather sounds repentant and remorseful, which doesn’t sound like a murder to him. He gets a text, and it’s the new lab results that don’t match General Hospital’s. Ava asks if this confirms his theory, and Ric says it does. He tells her it appears the cobalt poisoning was responsible for Heather’s mental break, but how does he argue against the numbers from General Hospital? He says maybe someone made a mistake entering the numbers. Ava suggests it might not have been a mistake. He asks if she is saying someone altered the tests deliberately. Ava notes it wouldn’t be the first time it happened. He asks who would do that. Ava replies, “Someone who wants Heather kept behind bars.”

Marshall wants to do this so that he can make up for being a terrible father. Curtis says he’d be a terrible son if he let him give up on his dream. He wants his dad to go and live his life to the fullest and show TJ, Trina, and Aunt Stella that you can achieve your dreams. Marshall says he’ll take the tour gig on two conditions. One, the family comes see him play, and two, that Curtis calls him if running The Savoy and Aurora at the same time becomes too much. Curtis says it won’t, congratulates his dad, and they hug.
