The General Hospital Recap for Thursday, October 10: Laura returns, and Sonny makes a deal to confess

Diane told Jason that she wanted his help getting Sonny to confess. Diane said that Alexis didn't commit murder. As Alexis' best friend, Diane felt she had to help. Jason told Diane that Sonny already decided to turn himself in, but Jason wanted Diane to stop him. Jason said Sonny's confession would have big implications for Carly.

Diane and Jason discussed the situation. Jason said he should have killed Cates when he had the chance. Diane said Cates would have let Jason die in Greece the moment that Jason had protested. Jason said what happened to him wasn't as important as keeping Sonny and Carly safe.

Diane reminded him that Jason's sons would disagree. Diane said Jason should remember that the next time he wanted to sacrifice himself for someone else. Diane and Jason were interrupted when Sonny called Diane.

Martin showed Alexis a picture of Jack Brennan. He said Jack was a known player. He then showed a picture of Jack with Carly. Martin explained that he was curious why a known playboy would be having a late-night dinner in his hotel room with Carly if she had reunited with Sonny.

Alexis told Martin she didn't think it was enough to make a difference in her case. Martin said she would still be a suspect, but the picture poked a big hole in Sonny's alibi. Alexis told Martin to give the photo to the police. Alexis added that if Martin felt tempted, he could tell the police that Sonny was covering up for Carly.

Carly told Sonny that Holly was looking for him. Carly wanted to know if Sonny had noticed anyone hanging around outside of his building or if he thought he was being watched. Sonny insisted his guards would know if he was. Carly said she had dinner with Jack Brennan, and someone was watching.

Sonny told Carly he would confess, but Carly reminded him she was his alibi and would go down with him. Carly said she would be charged as an accessory if Sonny confessed. Sonny stressed that they had to help Alexis.

Carly agreed and knew that Kristina would unravel and get them all in trouble for something if it went to trial. Sonny told Carly to get Donna and leave the country, but she refused. Sonny said that Donna was better off without a father than to lose both of her parents.

Carly also informed Sonny that Lucky was not a match for Lulu. Carly said she couldn't leave her family when they needed her. Carly knew it was a long shot but she would try to beat any charges. They agreed that whatever consequences there were, they would deal with them.

In Anna's office, Kristina announced she had information about the night John Cates died. Anna warned that whatever Kristina wanted to say could have ramifications for Kristina and her mom.

Anna recounted the details of Kristina's previous statements, noting the contradictions she had made. Kristina clarified that Alexis did not drive her car to the Quartermaines that night. Just then, Michael burst through the door and ordered Kristina to stop talking.

Michael said Kristina and Anna knew she was not to talk without a lawyer present. He paused at the door to glare at Anna before leaving with Kristina.

Elizabeth checked in on Dante as he sat with Lulu. He was worried that he wouldn't keep his word to his son about finding a donor. Elizabeth said they would find another donor, but Dante knew the odds were against them.

Elizabeth assured Dante that they would use every possible resource to find a donor for Lulu. Olivia came in and comforted Dante. She said they would do more than just hope for a donor. Olivia contacted Nina to get the word out in the media. She also reached out to her own contacts. Olivia said miracles happen, and they had to believe it would work out.

In the hospital chapel, Lucky prayed for guidance. Laura appeared, and they embraced. They quickly caught up on where he had been and how he was doing. Laura said that Lucky reminded her of Luke with his long hair.

Lucky told Laura that he couldn't be a donor for Lulu. He was beating himself up about not being there for her and how he couldn't help save her. Lucky thought he was failing Lulu again. Laura told Lucky that he deserved to live his life.

Laura said Nikolas was just as upset he couldn't be a donor. Lucky wished he had been around for his mom to lean on just once. "I'll be leaning on you plenty before this is over," Laura said. Lucky and Laura cried together. Laura added, "If the worst should come to pass and if we have to let her go, will you please stay with me and hold my hand when I say goodbye?"

Michael told Kristina he found her through a tracking device he had put on her phone. Kristina was sick of everyone telling her what to do. Michael called her impulsive. Kristina said she would stay silent for now, but she would not let her mom go to prison for a murder that Sonny committed.

While Sonny talked to Diane on the phone, Jason asked Carly what was going on, but she wanted Sonny to explain. Sonny hung up and said Diane was making a deal for him. Sonny decided he would turn himself in and give the feds everything they wanted in exchange for one thing. Sonny insisted that no one else paid for Jagger's death but Sonny.

Anna was on the phone telling someone about Kristina when Chase came in and told her they needed to evacuate. Anna could hear the alarm and wondered if it was a fire. Chase told her it was a bomb as they ran out.

Chase and Anna were told that the canine unit discovered a package outside that had been intentionally left in a spot that cameras couldn't detect. Chase and Anna were assured that there was no trace of explosive material on the box.

Chase stopped Martin from going to Anna's office. Martin said that he needed to show her something to help his client. Chase told him to take it to the feds as it was out of the police department's hands.

Anna took the box to her office and opened it. When Chase came in, she showed him what was inside. Anna held up the alleged gun that Alexis had tosssed. "Alexis said if we found the gun, it would exonerate her," Anna said.
