Why is General Hospital not on this week

Nina and Ava sat at a table in the Port Charles Grill and clinked their martini glasses together for a toast. After Ava suggested a toast to being roommates and to gratitude, Nina thought that Ava's freedom was a good one. Ava preferred they toast to love, but Nina confessed to having accused T.J. and Willow of having an affair. She claimed to have done it for the good, but Ava accused her of wanting to "stir the pot." Nina admitted she could have been wrong, and Ava suggested she apologize. Nina jumped up right away, and Ava wished her luck.

On the way out, Nina bumped into Victor, who asked about Sonny. Nina assured him that she didn't need Sonny to protect her from the likes of Victor. He looked inside and saw Ava sitting there, and he quickly made a phone call for any updates on Valentin and Anna.

Victor went inside and sat himself down at Ava's table, over her objections. He announced that he thought they could still be friends. He claimed it was better that she and Nikolas were over. Ava assured him it hadn't been finalized, but Victor thought that things could only end badly or very badly. "Don't be so sure," Ava quickly replied. Victor stated that she should consult the late Esme. Ava guessed that Victor had been frantically searching for Lucy, and he claimed that his heart had been yearning for the missing woman.

Michael and Willow separated after embracing on the sofa in Terry's office at the hospital. Michael assured his wife that she wasn't alone, and he only wanted her to be honest. He said that he didn't need her to tell him everything, but when she did say something, he wanted the truth. Willow asked him to hold her. She told him that she had no relatives, and the search for a bone marrow donor had been started. She only knew that she didn't want to tell anyone the news yet because she was afraid the family would treat her differently. Michael agreed but wondered how they'd keep the secret if they would be looking for a donor match.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. It was Nina, and Michael demanded that she leave. Willow told him it was okay, and Nina revealed that she was there to apologize for what she had done. She and Michael began to have words, and Willow was angry. Nina wanted to make amends, and she asked what she might do to accomplish that. "Drop dead," Willow said.

Josslyn spoke to Cameron on the phone from the Quartermaine grounds, where she was babysitting for Wiley. He offered to stop by after he was finished cleaning up at Kelly's. He walked from the kitchen into the seating area and saw a woman sitting at a table and perusing a menu. It was Heather, who wanted a BLT. Cameron realized who she was and told her the place was closed. He said that he knew that she was Franco's mother and was supposed to be somewhere else.

Heather recognized Cameron and spoke about seeing him when he'd been younger and hanging out with Emma and Spencer. Cameron offered to call someone, but she looked into his eyes and noted that she could see Franco there. Cameron reminded her that he and Franco hadn't been related, but she said that the good were kept alive while the bad got what they deserved.

Cameron made up the sandwich and served it with fries. Heather asked for ketchup, and she lifted the sandwich to take a bite. "I've missed you," she said. She told Cameron that Franco had visited her and talked about Cameron and his brothers. Cameron admitted he missed Franco every day, and Heather said she missed him, too. She asked about Spencer, and Cameron told her that he was in Pentonville. She laughed and noted that they were in the same club, although she said that she considered D'Archam her home. Heather assumed that, with his connections, Spencer had committed a terrible crime if he was in prison.

As Josslyn had been on the phone with Cameron, someone spied on her from outside. After she finished the call, she heard a sound and opened the door. Dex stumbled inside, holding his bleeding side. He refused to answer any questions, and Josslyn could see that he'd been shot. He asked her not to call the cops, and she retrieved some medical supplies. She was thankful that Willow had a stash due to her being a nurse. Dex said he didn't want Josslyn to know anything, and he wanted to stitch himself up. He said that he couldn't go to a hospital.

Josslyn cut Dex's shirt open and gently helped him to undress. She tricked him into letting her pull the shirt off where it had stuck to the wound. She donned a pair of medical gloves, and he stood up in order for her to have a better angle. He was weak and dizzy. Josslyn sewed up the wound, and she kept him talking in order to distract him from the pain. He told her how he'd like to live near water and learn to surf. By the time they finished talking, Josslyn was done.

The wounded area was bandaged, and Josslyn gave Dex a shirt of Michael's to wear. She helped him to dress, and they awkwardly stared into each other's eyes until Dex pulled away and insisted that he could manage himself. "Unbelievable," he muttered. Headlights reflected into the house. Josslyn gathered the bloody clothes and rags.

Shortly after, Michael and Willow walked in, and Michael called out repeatedly for Josslyn, who appeared to be gone. Moments later, she walked through the front door and claimed to have been checking on the dog, Annabelle. Michael asked about the chair in the middle of the living room, and Josslyn quickly replied that she had found his furniture too comfortable for studying. She spotted a small bloody cloth on the floor and dropped her book bag over it. She recapped her evening with Wiley, picked up the cloth and tossed it into her book bag, and left.

As Michael and Willow snuggled on the sofa, Josslyn walked outside and saw a leaf with blood on it. She was concerned that Dex was still bleeding.

At Pier 55, Elizabeth was unable to get a launch to Spoon Island, and she told someone on the phone that she would call Nikolas. She heard a creaking sound and looked up. It was Esme, who told her that Nikolas had lied about everything. She stated that she hadn't fled the country. Elizabeth began to toss accusations at Esme, and she announced that she was calling the police. She told them that she was with the fugitive, and Esme tried to grab the phone. The women struggled, and Elizabeth fell and hit her head. Esme stooped down over her, and Elizabeth's vision was blurry.

Before too long, Nikolas showed up, and Esme insisted that Elizabeth had fallen. He leaned down over Elizabeth and whispered, "Trust me." Nikolas' accomplice grabbed Esme as she shouted that Nikolas would be toast when Elizabeth remembered.

Jordan and Dante were still at the accident scene, hoping for word on the missing Anna and Heather. They learned that the real van driver had been found tied up with his ID missing. Jordan realized that it had all been a set-up in order to free Anna, and while they suspected Valentin's involvement, Jordan suggested that Sonny could be involved. Jordan received a call that Esme had been spotted, and she rushed off to investigate.

Back at Kelly's, Cameron asked Heather how she had gotten there. Heather replied that it had been a field trip, and she asked for a soda. Cameron went to the kitchen to retrieve the requested can and some ice, and he quickly made a phone call to Dante.

As Cameron chatted with Heather, she picked up a knife. She guessed that Cameron had called the cops. She laughed that she was kidding as Dante peered through the window. He burst through the door with his gun drawn and ordered Heather to drop the knife and put her hands up. "What took you so long?" Heather asked. Dante stated that there were people worried about Heather, who told him that she had been on the side of the road and had ended up at Kelly's.

Dante asked about the accident, and Heather claimed to have no knowledge of it. She offered him a bite of her sandwich, and he told Cameron to wrap it up to go. Heather wanted her fries, too. She flirted with Dante, and Cameron handed her a brown bag. When she lamented that she had no money, he told her it was on the house. Heather linked her arm through Dante's and told Cameron not to be a stranger.

Elizabeth ended up in the hospital. As Deanna tended to her, Jordan arrived. Deanna tried to prevent Jordan from questioning Elizabeth and told Jordan that the patient had a mild concussion. Elizabeth assured Deanna that it was okay, and Jordan asked who had done it. Elizabeth told Jordan what she could remember from the pier, including seeing Esme. She added that there had been another person, but she couldn't remember who. She wasn't sure if Esme had attacked her, but she hadn't seen any hooks. She concluded that she had passed out.

Jordan left, and Elizabeth told Deanna that she just had a bump with no symptoms. Deanna declared that Elizabeth would have to stay. Jordan returned and announced that there was a lookout for Esme, who wouldn't get far. She thought that there had been a guardian angel looking out for Elizabeth. Elizabeth recalled seeing Nikolas.

At Wyndemere, Nikolas informed Esme that Elizabeth would never give him up. Esme felt that once Elizabeth's head cleared, she would have the cops head straight to Wyndemere to look for Esme, and Nikolas' days were numbered. Nikolas replied that would hold true for Esme, also.

Esme guessed that Nikolas was trying to figure out how to get rid of her, but she asked about the baby. Nikolas agreed that he couldn't keep her there, especially since she would try to kill him again. Esme declared her innocence in trying to kill him as well as in all the other attacks. Nikolas made a phone call and learned that Elizabeth was okay. He announced that after Esme gave birth, he would be done with her. "We'll see about that," Esme said.

Nina returned to the grill, and Victor stood to leave. He spotted his man outside, and Nina sat down. She told Ava that Willow had been offended and offensive, and Ava felt responsible.

Outside, Victor spoke to his associate, who shared that there was no trace of Anna and no news of Valentin. "There's a family matter of particular importance to you," the man said.

Victor returned to the restaurant and stood at Ava and Nina's table. He exclaimed that the police were on the lookout for Esme, who had been spotted in town. Ava nearly choked on her olive, and Victor departed.
