Turner Needs a Favor

In her office, Anna leaves an irate message for Jack to call her back about the Croatia mission.

Turner says this is still a crime and they must take it seriously, noting that with Michael’s record, they could be looking at felony assault. Drew is happy he’s getting his way. Or is he given what Turner knows?

Britt Holds Back

Jason wants answers GH

He wants her to come home with him, but she states she’ll never return to Port Charles, and she can’t go back to Paris now, as she can’t risk being seen. Jason asks if she’s in danger.

Britt is hurt GH

Britt rehashes their past, and his leaving her for Carly. She also recalls he died in the process of saving her and her mother from Victor, and it crushed her much like the rocks that supposedly crushed him. Now here he is, alive. He points out she is, too. He asks how she survived the hook.

Jason fesses up to BRitt GH

Britt tells Jason to explain how he survived first. He gives her the short version of becoming an FBI informant to save Carly. Britt vents that all roads lead back to Carly, and he doesn’t deserve an explanation from her. She grieved him. She stood at his grave and forgave him. She takes it back, calling him a selfish son-of-a-bitch.

Britt faces Jason finally GH

She insists she made her choice to stay dead as she did not want her family to watch her deteriorate, and now her Huntington’s is in remission, and she’s built a new life. He tells her something big is going on here, the WSB has the place flagged, and she’s in danger.

Jason warns BRitt that she's indanger GH

Jason promises he can get her out of here tonight. She tells him she doesn’t need saving, and she can save herself if that were the case. She tells him to go, or she’ll call security. He asks what will happen if she does?

Brook Lynn pulls Lucas aside to talk and asks if he has any idea what brought this on. He doesn’t know and asks about the cream, wondering if it could have been a reaction. Lucy interjects and says they all used it multiple times, so it can’t be the cream. Lucas says as far as he knows, Maxie was in perfect health. Who wants to bet that tub of cream will be nowhere to be found back on set?

Wt angry Nina GH

At the pool, Nina yells that Carly could have broken her neck! Carly again digs in and blames Nina for all that happened and says she and Willow will never get near those kids again.

Drew Anna and Turner discuss his case GH

In Anna’s office, Drew thanks Turner for taking him seriously, but she says they don’t have a case yet. Anna notes Michael will have his own side of the story.

Diane and Turner give the same advice to Michael and Drew. This case will come down to witnesses.

Vaugn sits guard GH

Back in Croatia, Vaughn suggests they sleep in shifts to be safe, and tells her to sleep, and he’ll take the first watch. It’s doubtful either of them will get any sleep after sexing things up.

Finally, Britt shows Jason the door, and he walks out defeated. Alone, Britt makes a call and says, “We have a problem and need to put a stop to it immediately.”
