Joss is working like crazy at Bobbie’s. Jason notes this and thinks her mom would be okay

if she took time off. Joss says what she needs is to find out who killed Dex.

Jason says if this is her way to get closure, he’ll help her in any way he can. He says he’ll look into things and keep her posted. He gets up to head out.

Joss notices Jack sitting at a table, says hello and takes his order. He says he had a nice time with her family. Joss says she had a nice time with him, too. She then brings up Dex and has a huge favor to ask him. She knows the WSB has satellites monitoring everywhere and everything. She wonders if they caught who stabbed Dex and if he can give said footage to the PCPD.

Brennan claims he can’t help as the satellite footage is only available for 48 hours, and then gets deleted. They only use satellites to focus on certain targets, so there is no need to hold unneeded footage. Joss knew it would be a long shot and thanks him.

Ava meets with Trina for lunch at the Metro Court and gives Trina her annual bonus, which isn’t what she deserves. It’s a small painting she’s always admired. Ava knows she deserves a big check, but the Cassadines have ensured that’s not happening. Trina can’t let her not sell the painting, which could fetch a good price. Ava insists she takes the painting, so Trina says she will only do so until Ava needs it back. Just then, Kai walks in and past them, not noticing Trina.

Trina walks over to Kai. He admits he was distracted in thought when he came in, and he’s hiding. Trina asks who he’s hiding from. He says his coach, his teammates, and the fans downstairs. He tells her a big press and fan event is going on, and he hates these social events. Suddenly, a man shows up with his son and asks for a photo with Kai and his son. Kai gives him the photo, and the man suggests he get back down to the event. Trina steps in claiming Kai is needed for an important school assignment they are working on. The man scoffs that nothing is more important than football. Trina whispers to Kai that this is his out, and they can hide at Bobbie’s. They rush off together.

At Anna’s, Emme appears bright and early with smoothies for her and Anna. Anna brings up that she didn’t get home until 4 AM. Emma claims she was just up with jetlag and didn’t mean to wake her, but Anna knows she’s lying. Emma claims she just went for a walk and didn’t want to worry her. Anna suggests they call her mom, but Emma says she just did. Anna is surprised as she just did, too, and they have no idea she is here or that she plans to transfer to PCU. Emma explains she wanted to make sure the transfer went through first, and she knows they’ll be disappointed she left Berkley. Anna notes you can’t transfer from one university to another when you’ve been expelled from the first.

Emma moans about having a spy for a grandmother. Anna has heard the University’s version of what happened, so what is hers? Emma swears it wasn’t her fault. She only threw a small party in her room that got out of hand. Anna notes a sprinkler got set off and caused significant damage to the forms and displaced over 200 students. Anna says her parents have no idea this happened, but they do now and are furious. She asks how she managed to pull that off. Emma admits she gave her number to the school and pretended to be her mom when they called. She says she has registered for PCU, found a small apartment here, and swears her partying days are over.

Anna says they are, as she’ll be staying with her. Anna also says her grades better be damn near perfect. Otherwise, she’ll send her back to California. Emma complains about her being a warden and asks if she can leave and get coffee. Anna says she can. As she is leaving, she finds Jason at the door. She wishes him luck as Anna is in a mood.

Anna asks Jason what he wants. Jason has news and tells her about Charlotte contacting Lulu, and Lulu leaving to find her. She’s headed to Prague, and Dante tracked her and is on a flight right behind her. Anna panics as Lulu has no idea what she’s done. She fears Valentin being tipped off that they are onto him, which could end with Charlotte losing one of her parents for good.

Emma goes to Bobbie’s for coffee and is surprised to find Joss working there. Joss says her family owns the place. Emma orders a fancy coffee and decides that rather than take it to go, she’ll stay and catch up with Joss. Emma tells her about how Berkley and Stanford are close, so she and Cam met up often this past year. She recalls back in the day when they both were vying for Cam’s attention. She also introduced him to Gretchen, who is perfect for him. It’s clear Emma likes rubbing all this in. Jack interrupts and thanks Joss for her service. Joss introduces Anna’s granddaughter to him, and he says it’s nice to meet her.

Jack heads outside, makes a call, and orders the footage from Rice Plaza on the day Dex was stabbed to be pulled.

Sasha and Maxie take time at the nail salon and day spa. Sasha reveals she has decided to leave Port Charles. She’s going back to the Hamptons to start fresh with the baby. Maxie is sorry to see her go but hopes she’ll tell the family about the baby before she leaves. Sasha can’t, as it will make it harder to go.

Maxie is upset, as she’s going to miss her. Sasha will miss her too, but it’s easier this way. Maxie says raising a baby as a single mom is hard enough, and she’s leaving behind her family, who could be her support system. Maxie realizes this is about the father, as she hasn’t told her anything about him. Sasha insists the father is not part of her decision to leave.

Michael meets with Diane at her office and asks her to represent him if Willow divorces him. She is sorry to hear this and asks what is happening. He fills her in on Willow’s affair with Drew. Diane says that, in this case, he should be filing for divorce, not Willow.

Michael doesn’t want a divorce. He wants to work things out. However, he got separation papers from Martin. Diane asks for a timeline, and Michael tells her what he knows and that it started on July Fourth. When Diane learns about the nanny cam footage, she refers to them doing it in the nursery as icky. Diane is further horrified to learn how the affair was exposed and that Willow took the kids to Nina’s, a move she would have counseled him against. He has heard that already from his mom. Diane says this all has her worried as it feels like Willow is gearing up for battle.

They deduce Nina is likely behind hiring Martin. Michael asks what they are looking at. They have the video that proves that Willow cheated, but Diane says his holding onto it and airing it the way it did will likely have Martin argue that he was out for revenge. That won’t look good for him. She asks what he wants. He wants his family back, but if it comes to it, he doesn’t want to take the children from Willow, but he will be a part of their lives.

Michael signs a retainer, and she says she will contact Martin about a visitation schedule. She asks if there is anything else she needs to know, and if she finds something else out that he hasn’t told her, he risks her wrath. He calls Sasha, who is still at the salon and asks to meet up.

In Laura’s office, Alexis and Laura wait to meet with Martin, who is late for the meeting he called. The women discuss Sam, and Alexis admits it doesn’t feel real. She’s sad but at the same time proud of her daughter. Laura says Sam’s legacy lives on in her children and in Lulu.

Martin finally arrives and has been in contact with legal counsel in Greece. Ace has been named the new Cassadine heir, and Alexis is now the trustee of Ace’s fortune.  Laura doesn’t want the cursed money for Ace, and Alexis suggests they liquidate the fortune and give it away to charity. Laura loves the idea. Martin says they can’t do that, the money can’t be spent that way and must be held until Ace has come of age.

Laura says that gives them some time, and they need to make sure the Cassadine curse and what happened to Nikolas and Spencer doesn’t happen to Ace.

As Alexis signs all the papers that need to be signed, she notices Wyndemere on the list of assets. She calls it a mistake and notes it belongs to Ava. Martin says not anymore. The Cassadines got it back. Alexis is pleased with Ava’s misfortune and continues to sign away.

Lulu sits alone at a table in Prague, waiting to meet Charlotte. She looks out the window and sees her standing there. Charlotte enters, and Lulu cries about how grown up she is. They embrace and then sit down.

Charlotte can’t stay long. She says she’s well and happy and so sorry she couldn’t be there when her mom woke up. She says her Papa needed her. Charlotte says they’ve been traveling a lot, and she thinks it is so that whoever is following them doesn’t find them. Charlotte hates her mother had to give up Christmas day to meet, as she know she loves opening gifts. Lulu tells her that she is her present this year. She tells Charlotte she wants her to come home.

Charlotte can’t leave her Papa as he’d be devastated. Lulu says being separated from her is killing her, and waking up and finding out she was gone broke her heart. Charlotte notes her mom has a lot of people at home who care about her, whereas her Papa has no one. Lulu argues he will be fine, plus he’s a fugitive, so what kind of life would that be for her? Charlotte says she is taken well care of and is happy. Lulu says if her daughter is happy, then she is too. She sends Charlotte to order them some food to share and then places a tracker in her purse when Charlotte is placing the order.

Charlotte returns to the table, and as they talk, the young girl is troubled. Lulu turns around, and Valentin is coldly staring at them through the window.

On the next General Hospital, Liz confronts Portia and a lawyer and demands to be told everything that is going on. In Prague, Valentin asks Charlotte if she’s enjoying her visit with her mother. Kristina tells Lucas he’s being disrespectful to Sam’s memory. Sonny warns Alexis this will be an all-out war. Ava turns to Laura for help.
