Head Count
Reach Up for the Sunrise
People may
have written AJ off – and maybe they can’t be faulted for it, as he’s been
lurching and leaning all over Port Charles for the last few weeks, bottle
tucked securely in his pocket as he meanders around the cemetery. But lucidity and recall are tentatively
making overtures, poking holes in the whiskey-laden curtain on his brain. Unbalanced and shaky he may be, but there are
certain things about that night Connie was killed which are coming back to him
with shocking clarity, and this return to sentient life is not good news for
Ava.
However, she’s in a bit of a
pickle, because she can’t take direct action to solve her problem – so she
meets up with an old friend and cajoles him into helping her. So, being the pal is, he agrees, and goes off
to beat the living daylights out of AJ.
This may end up being a grave miscalculation though. An addict AJ may
be, but he’s no fool – and he almost immediately begins to wonder who’s behind
the attack – and why they’re so rattled as to want him removed from the earthly
plane.
All I Want
Some
heretofore dangling ends have begun
to come together for Sonny Corinthos, who
is also not stupid or lacking in cognitive ability. Shawn’s dogged research has
yielded some extremely interesting results, as he was able to trace the funding
for Julian’s rival operations, and the results are illuminating. Julian switches over from grandpappy mode to
throw his arm around an unnerved TJ, buttonholing the kid for an overdue chat
about the warehouse shooting. Rattled, TJ beelines right for Sonny and Shawn
and informs them of the encounter, whereas in turn Shawn beelines for Alexis
and lets her know about it. This is of course unsettling for Alexis; she’s
begun to trust Julian despite herself.
Quite understandably, she begins to question that decision.
Iris
Over in the
Big Apple, Silas and Sam have concocted a new plan to clear his name, albeit a
tentative one with more than one sticky widget.
Unexpected circumstances arise, and Delia frantically attempts to warn
Sam. However, since Sam and Silas are…otherwise engaged, and Sam doesn’t get the message.
Later, the Three
Amigos sit down to strategize and review their plan for the erstwhile
pharmacist, Mr. Nakamura, but before they can put it into play, they receive
some stunning news. Silas finally realizes he needs to deal with some things he’s
had on the shelf for far too long, and makes a crucial decision about his life
and his future. 
Don’t Forget Me When I’m Gone
Back in Port
Charles, Patrick and Robin have some devastating choices of their own to make –
choices with far-reaching consequences, and which may be irrevocable. A distraught Patrick, worried sick for his
daughter and bereft at what is about to happen, confides to Sabrina about what’s
happening with Robin, while Robin herself braces to tell friends and family the
news. Predictably, her announcement is
received with a mix of shock, sadness, and anger – and not a little suspicion
on Anna’s part. Mum knows her daughter better
than anyone, and knows when something is being held back.
