On the Monday, December 30, episode of General Hospital, Sonny doubled over in pain while boxing, Lulu and Valentin had it out, Ava begged for money, and Lucas confided in Kristina.
A Heart Attack for Sonny?
After ignoring his chest pains from Christmas Eve, Sonny (Maurice Benard) joined Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) in her office because she had a request. Alexis wanted Sonny to take Charlie’s from Kristina (Kate Mansi)because she thought it would be a legal liability. Sonny promised Alexis that he would make sure everything remained clean and that the FBI wouldn’t start sniffing around. Alexis had to be satisfied with that answer.
Later, Sonny decided he needed a good workout so he went to the boxing gym. While in the ring shadowboxing, Sonny was suddenly overcome with chest pains. He fell to the floor, but nobody was there to see what happened and try to save him.
Trouble in Prague
Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) entered the Prague cafe so Charlotte (Scarlett Fernandez) could reveal that she had told her father where she was going. Valentin hated to cut the visit short but asked Charlotte to sit at another table so that he could talk to Lulu (Alexa Havins). Valentin and Lulu then proceeded to argue back and forth for the next hour about where Charlotte would be better off.
Lulu reminded Valentin more than once that whoever is after him will one day find him and Charlotte would be hurt. Valentin then dropped a bomb and told Lulu that Anna (Finola Hughes) shot Charlotte last year after Victor (James Patrick Stuart) brainwashed the girl into believing Anna was a danger to Valentin.
Lulu was shocked but didn’t veer from her argument. Being on the run was no life for a teenage girl. She almost had Valentin sold until Dantem (Dominic Zamprogna) walked in and approached Charlotte’s table. Valentin was furious when he saw him and accused Dante and Lulu of setting him up. Lulu swore that she had no idea that Dante was coming. Valentin was sure that Dante led his enemies right to him and he was right. A gunman had set up shop on a roof across from the cafe.
All About Ava and Kristina
A desperate Ava (Maura West) stopped by Laura’s (Genie Francis) office to discuss her divorce settlement from Nikolas (Adam Huss). All the money had been taken away and Ava wanted to know how to get it back. Laura told Ava it was out of her hands. The money belonged to Ace now and Alexis was in charge. So, Ava headed to Alexis’ office where the door was promptly slammed in her face.
Lucas (Van Hansis) visited Kristina at Charlie’s so she could give him a picture of Lucas and Wiley that Kristina found in a drawer. They assumed the photo must have belonged to poor dead Julian (William deVry). Lucas told Kristina about confronting Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) and how Drew used Sam’s (Kelly Monaco) death as his excuse for his affair with Willow. He said that Ava helped talk him down from a ledge.
Kristina was surprised to hear that Lucas and Ava were growing closer but pleased to hear that Ava was now somehow broke. Kristina even showed a moment of maturity when she said she accepted the jury’s decision and was ready to move on with her life.
Elizabeth’s Legal Troubles
Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) wanted to be there for Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) when she had a meeting with Terry (Cassandra James) and Portia (Brook Kerr) to go over Dex’s medical records. However, Liz sent him away and went into the meeting on her own. She was shocked to see the hospital lawyer was there. They told her that Dex’s autopsy report showed he died from an overdose of Digitalis. They wanted to question her further but Ric showed up as her attorney and told Liz not to say another word.
As for Lucky, he spent some time talking to Isaiah and got some advice. Isaiah told Lucky that if he really wanted to be there for Elizabeth then he needed to put down roots. To that end, Lucky headed to Charlie’s to see about becoming a bartender.
