At the hospital, Molly met with T.J., Stella, and Curtis about giving the baby a name for the birth certificate, but they still hadn't thought of one. After Curtis and Stella left to give T.J. and Molly some time to talk, Molly shared that she had paid Ava a visit to get some answers.
At Sonny's penthouse, Sonny and Jason discussed what to do with John. Sonny wanted to kill John, but Jason warned Sonny that there would be no returning from eliminating an FBI agent. Sonny wasn't deterred. "If Jagger forces my hand, I won't have a choice," Sonny said.
Brick called to inform Jason that Scott had been tracked to a seedy part of town. Sonny and Jason agreed that Scott knew where Clement was, so Sonny told Jason to follow up on the lead and keep him posted. Sonny said he would be at the hospital to be there for Kristina as she was discharged.
At the Jerome Gallery, John assured Ava that he believed the photos Sonny had taken of Ava and Kristina could help Ava's case. John explained that the pictures could help fit any narrative they wanted. Ava wondered how they could paint her as a victim when she wasn't the one who had gone flying through a window.
John told Ava that she would be a federal witness against Sonny, so that would help her in the eyes of the law. John also said Ava could say she'd been protecting herself when Ava had put her hand on Kristina's arm. John noted the rage on Kristina's face and painted a new scenario in which Kristina had been in Ava's suite as part of a conspiracy with Sonny to kill Ava.
Meanwhile, Jason made his way to where Clement was hiding out. As Jason knocked on the door, Scott rounded the corner as he returned with groceries for the trip to Wyndemere. As soon as Scott spotted Jason, he dropped the bags and fled unnoticed.
As Ava and John continued making plans, Scott called and told them that Jason had gotten to Clement Moore. Ava freaked out as soon as she learned what had happened. John quickly left to try to fix the problem, leaving Ava alone.
Shortly afterwards, T.J. entered the gallery. Ava told him she would only speak to him through her lawyer, but T.J. surprised her. "I am not here as a prosecutor. I am here as a grieving father. I need to know what happened in that hotel suite and not just the story Kristina tells. I need to hear from you why my child died."
Ava told T.J. that Kristina had shown up in a rage after receiving the subpoena. Ava explained that Kristina had threatened her, but Ava had tried not to engage with Kristina because Kristina had been eight months pregnant. Ava said that Kristina had kept coming at her. T.J. quickly reached a conclusion. "So, you're saying Kristina falling was her own fault," T.J. stated.
At the hospital, Alexis helped Kristina get ready for her release. Alexis planned to take Kristina to her house to recuperate and tried to remain optimistic about Kristina's recovery. Kristina remained depressed, realizing her life was about to begin again—but without the baby she'd been carrying.
When Alexis handed Kristina a key to her place for Blaze to use, Kristina told Alexis that she and Blaze had broken up. Kristina explained that Blaze had gotten an offer to tour with Miguel Morez.
Just then, Dr. Navarro walked in to report that Kristina's uterus looked like it was healing well, so she'd likely be able to have more children. Kristina was happy to hear that her body would heal, but she worried about her mental and emotional health. "That might take a little more work, but your heart will get better. I promise," Alexis said.
As Kristina and Alexis continued their talk, Kristina said that Molly had visited her the day before, and Kristina had explained what had happened in Ava's room. Sonny arrived and interrupted Alexis and Kristina's talk. Alexis left father and daughter alone, so Kristina quickly asked for an update on Ava.
Sonny told Kristina that he wasn't going to kill Ava yet, especially with Alexis knowing that Kristina had asked for exactly that. Kristina continued to insist that she still wanted Ava dead, but Sonny told Kristina to trust him, because he didn't want Ava's death on Kristina's conscience.
A short time later, Molly ran into Alexis in the hospital's hallway. Alexis suggested that Molly talk to Kristina before her sister was discharged, but Molly didn't think it was a good idea. Alexis asked Molly to tell her what had happened when Molly had visited Kristina. Molly tried to be diplomatic and said she knew she couldn't get angry at Kristina because her sister always had to be "coddled at all times, no matter what anybody else is going through."
Alexis reasoned that Kristina had nearly died, so Molly countered that her baby had died because Kristina had chosen to confront Ava. "Kristina was weeks away from giving birth. Was it really necessary for her to confront Ava like that?" Molly asked. Alexis said she understood the need for people to want to place blame somewhere when a tragedy occured.
Just then, Sonny wheeled Kristina toward the elevator while John walked in with FBI agents to arrest Kristina.
At the same time, inside the building where Jason had knocked on the door, Clement assumed Scott had returned, so he opened the door. Jason entered and informed Clement that he worked for Sonny. Frightened, Clement agreed to do whatever Sonny wanted and begged for mercy because he had a family.
Jason assured Clement that he didn't want to kill Clement. "I just want the truth. Who paid you to tamper with Sonny's meds?" Jason asked. Clement denied that he'd been working for John. When Jason mentioned Ava, Clement confessed that Ava had paid him a visit when she had realized that Sonny hadn't been taking the full dosage of a mood stabilizer. Clement explained that Sonny had been getting a quarter of the dosage prescribed. However, Ava had later returned and demanded that Sonny be given placebos.
Jason demanded to know who had initially hired Clement to lower Sonny's dosage. Clement admitted it had been Valentin Cassadine.
Anna arrived at Laura's office and was told that she and Laura would be meeting with the new WSB station chief. Anna knew that Laura meant Jack Brennan. "Didn't you just arrest a Jack Brennan?" Laura asked.
Anna admitted that she had and explained that Brennan was a WSB agent, and his arrest had been a cover for a classified WSB operation. Brennan walked in and introduced himself to Laura. Anna, Laura, and Brennan sat down to discuss his new position, with Laura realizing Anna and Brennan had worked together in the past. Laura said she hoped Anna and Brennan could use their previous working relationship to team up and find Valentin.
Anna immediately told Laura the FBI was already on the case, and she tried to talk Laura out of pursuing Valentin. Laura was not deterred, as it was personal for her. "Valentin has my granddaughter," Laura said. Anna assured Larua that Valentin would never let any harm come to Charlotte.
Laura was called away, leaving Anna and Brennan alone in the office. Anna accused Brennan of knowing where Valentin was and hiding him. When Laura returned, she realized that she had walked in on an argument and asked what she had missed. Anna and Brennan assured Laura that everything was fine. When Brennan left, Laura offered Anna an assessment of Brennan. "He's quite charming, and that concerns me," Laura said.
Before Anna and Laura could discuss Brennan further, Laura received an alarming call about Lulu.
At the Quartermaine boathouse, Mac approached James and Cody as James thanked Cody for rescuing him. James quickly told Mac that Cody had saved him. Before Mac had a chance to say much, Maxie, Sasha, and Felicia arrived at the boathouse dock. Maxie was relieved to see her son was okay and warned James to never run off again.
James reasoned that he didn't make a habit of falling into the lake, so it was all good. James also argued that he wouldn't have had to keep running away if he was allowed to see Cody. James was excited when Maxie told him he could take riding lessons with Cody again, but he lost his ice cream and video game privileges for two weeks.
Mac took the blame for prohibiting James from taking riding lessons from Cody. James asked Mac if he was mad at Cody. Mac said that he had been—but not anymore. James was curious why Mac had been mad at Cody, so Mac was honest. "Because Cody's my son," Mac said.
James was immediately excited by the news that Cody was his uncle. James still wanted to know why Mac had been mad, so Mac admitted that he'd been mad because of all the time he and Cody had missed out on. However, Mac's anger was gone. "Not only does family forgive each other, but they're the ones we love—no matter what—even when they run away."
James was happy with Mac's explanation as he threw himself into Cody's arms and welcomed him to the family. After Maxie took James home, Mac told Cody how grateful he was to Cody for rescuing James. The two men then embraced.
When Mac and Felicia left, Cody and Sasha returned to the stables. Cody was overwhelmed with emotion after what had happened, and he took Sasha into his arms for a passionate kiss.
