Delia popped up at the PCPD. Sonny wasn't happy to see her. Kiki called her there. Delia sized up Denise. "How would this floozy know anything about me?" Denise asked. "Because I'm your mother," Delia said. Morgan got between them before the slapping could begin. Delia insisted that the woman was her daughter... but she wasn’t Ava. Denise was Ava's twin. That sent a shudder through the room. Dante pointed out twins have identical DNA. Delia claimed they weren’t identical, just fraternal. Sonny didn't buy this, but it all made sense to Alexis. Dante then agreed to let Denise go free. She decided to stay in town and get to know her family and asked Julian to let her stay with him.
At Anna's, Sloane told her about Nikolas' involvement in fixing the election. She accused him of making this up. He couldn't see the point of that. Felicia was incorruptible, but Lomax was more than willing to be corrupted, but Anna refused to accept that. They then had some drinks and he explained what happened in detail. As he did, she kept drinking and moaning about what a cesspool Port Charles was. Anna then laughed when Sloane dropped his towel for her and then he kissed her. She kissed him back and then they began pulling off their clothes.
Rosalie called Nikolas from the Quartermaines. "It's about ELQ," she said. Then, Tracy interrupted. Nikolas could hear her and wasn’t impressed so he then got off the phone. Tracy then demanded to know who Rosalie was conspiring with. Rosalie covered by claiming that she was talking to Nina and tipped her off about Ned giving up his shares. She then strolled out. Then, Lulu bursts in to tell Tracy that Luke had disappeared. A doctor had given him a clean bill of health and then let him go. Tracy then worried that Luke’s bad self was back, but then Luke strolled in with his release papers. "I'm better," he announced before showing them his tattoo of a dragon. It was the same tattoo his father had. He then explained that he kept hallucinating about it as he battled with his dark half, so he decided to take it for himself. He then added that one day, it would be a symbol of his strength, not his weakness. Luke then promised to try to make amends for what he had done.
When Rosalie got to Wyndemere, Nikolas lectured her for not being careful enough. She then filled him in about Michael sending her off to buy back Ned's shares from Nina. Nikolas then ordered her to do as Michael had asked. Then, once she got the shares, she needed to bring them to him (Nikolas.) He then told Rosalie that she would be paying Nina with his money. Rosalie worried that Nina would tell Michael what happened, but Nikolas doubted that Michael would believe Nina over her.
At The Metro Court, Nina gloated to Franco about doing the “mystery sandwich” and having so much sex with Ric. He replied by saying that he was concerned about her, but she claimed that Ric was really interested in her and told Franco to move on. When she walked off, she ran into Nathan. He started questioning her about her surprise wedding and told her that h was sure that Ric had alternative motives. Franco eavesdropped and then interrupted. Nathan had made an appointment for her with Diane to have the marriage annulled. This made Nina distraught so she ran off. Then, Rosalie called her to say she how much she missed her and wanted to get together.
Ric visited Madeline in prison. "How go the efforts to get our hands on my daughter's fortune?" she asked. They then shared some small talk about prison and then she turned the topic back to Nina. Madeline then guaranteed him a substantial payoff once she got out of Pentonville. He then filled her in about marrying Nina. She doubted her daughter would marry the likes of him, but he waved his wedding ring and explained that while getting a hold on Nina's money would be easy, giving it to Madeline wouldn’t. Ric then promised to come and visit her once in a while. She threatened to blow him out of the water and use Nathan to do it so Ric caved. Madeline then ordered him to get her out of prison.
Denise scolded Julian for working out to noisy music in his own penthouse as it was interrupting her beauty sleep. She explained that she was up late learning all about the Jeromes from the Internet. She then went down the list of his relatives and asked about Kiki’s sister, Avery. Julian explained that Michael Quartermaine had custody of the baby. Denise wondered how he could have let that happen, but Julian said that he didn’t have many options to stop it. Denise thought she did, but Julian warned her to think twice about crossing that family. He then suggested that she just spend time with Kiki if she really wanted to get to know her niece.
Silas returned home and was welcomed by Kiki. As she told him all about Denise, Silas remembered taking care of Ava in New York and injecting her with a drug. Silas then asked Kiki where Denise was now and then told Kiki that he needed to head to GH. Later, Kiki gave Denise a call and suggested they get together for dinner.
Michael showed up at Sonny’s gym and questioned Morgan about Denise. Morgan told him that the woman was Ava’s twin. The two then ended up in a huge argument after Morgan bragged to Michael that he and Kiki were back together. Morgan felt that Michael had a lot of aggression inside him, so he suggested they take it into the ring. Michael accepted and after fighting a few rounds the two ended up collapsing. They then reminisced about when they were kids and Morgan apologized for what he did to Michael, Kiki and Avery. He then said that he knew he’ had trashed everything between them. Michael then told Morgan that he was glad that Sonny made a deal to keep him out of prison because no matter what he had done, he wouldn’t want to see him there. Morgan then realized that things between them would never be the same. Michael agreed that they probably wouldn’t be, but still suggested a cease-fire. The two then shook hands.
At the Quartermaines, Luke surprised Tracy with a little black box. Tracy asked him what was happening here as they were already married. He then informed her that they actually weren’t since she filed an annulment when she thought she married Faison. He felt it was a good thing because now he could ask her to be his wife while he was in his right mind. He then opened the box and showed her the ring, but she was suspicious of him and terrified that it would all fall apart again. Luke understood her apprehension and said that all she can do was take the leap with him. He then swore that she wouldn’t regret it. Before she could accept, Dillon walked in and told his mother not to accept the ring.
Jordan was called in to the PCPD and learned from Dante that Sloane had been fired. Then, the two discussed who would be the new Commissioner when Lomax walked in and offered the job to Jordan. Jordan felt it should be given back to Anna, but Lomax refused to rehire Anna as long as she was mayor and told Jordan that the job was hers if she wanted it. Jordan then accepted the position.
Anna and Sloane woke up in bed together and then discussed what had happened between them. Anna felt as if she had betrayed Duke by sleeping with Sloane, but he told her that Duke loved her and that he would have understood what happened. Sloane then told Anna that he wasn’t sorry that it happened and then confessed that he had feelings for her. He then added that he had them for a while and that he hoped she would return them. Anna replied by telling him to get out. Sloane wanted to talk, but she said that she didn’t want to even think about what they had done and she asked him again to leave, which he did.
Silas showed up at Julian’s place and came face to face with Denise, who claimed to recognize him from the papers. He then told Ava to cut the crap as he knew who she really was.
Dillon interrupted Luke’s proposal at the Quartermaines and told his mother not to marry Luke. Then, Ned filled Dillon in on what had happened over the past year with Luke and asked Dillon to keep an eye on their mom. Luke then told Dillon that he had gotten past his demons and that he wanted to make things up to Tracy, but Dillon didn’t think another quickie marriage was the way. Luke then promised Dillon that Tracy was the most important person in his life, but that he wouldn’t marry her without his blessing. Luke then apologized to Dillon for what he did to Tracy and Dillon said that he would support Tracy in whatever she decided. He then told her that Luke seems like the guy he remembered, but she said that she needed to figure out if she could trust him. Luke then proposed again, but suggested a thirty-day trial engagement so that she could be sure about him. Tracy agreed. Luke then announced that he wanted to throw a big party for her and to announce their engagement. Luke then told Dillon and Tracy that they wouldn’t regret trusting him.
At The Metro Court, Nikolas talked to Lulu on the phone, but had to say goodbye and take a call from Rosalie. Rosalie was outside of Nina’s hotel room and was nervous about trying to get the shares of ELQ from her, but Nikolas demanded she get those shares and then hung up on her. Rosalie then went in to see Nina, who was surprised to see her. Nina then explained that she would order them food, but an accounting error had her account frozen. She then cut to the chase and wondered what Rosalie wanted from her.
Kiki found Michael and Morgan shaking hands at the gym. Then, Michael left and Kiki asked Morgan what was going on. Morgan explained that they drew a ceasefire, though they wouldn’t be hugging one another at family get-togethers anytime soon. He then told her that Michael came to him about Denise, and from there they talked things out. Morgan then suggested they go to dinner, but Kiki said that she had plans with Denise. She then asked him to join them as it should be interesting.
At Julian’s penthouse, Silas told Denise to drop the act since he knew she was really Ava. Denise claimed she wasn’t Ava, but instead was her long lost twin. Silas replied that he knew who she was and began recounting Ava’s story. He then flashed back to two months ago in New York where he was caring for Ava in the hospital. When she woke up and asked why she wasn’t dead, Silas explained that he knocked her out in order to give her a bone marrow transplant. Ava was confused, so he explained a donor was found at the last minute. She asked why he didn’t tell her instead of letting her think she was going to die. He then told her that the donor was Avery.
Michael arrived at The Metro Court and overheard Nikolas on the phone talking about him, but Nikolas managed to cover by saying that he heard about his ELQ troubles and was discussing them with Lulu. The two then talked about the issues with ELQ and Michael confided in him that right now his associate was trying to buy back the shares that Franco stole from Ned. Michael then said that these outsiders trying to steal ELQ would kill his grandfather, if he were still alive.
Back in Nina’s room, Rosalie offered Nina cash to buy back the ELQ shares. Rosalie then suggested the money could help with the accounting troubles she was having with the hotel. Nina admitted that she could use the cash, but she still refused to give up the ELQ stocks because they were technically Franco’s. Rosalie then told her that Franco treated her like a pathetic crazy person, so why hold on to them as a memento of him. Nina replied that they were all she had left of Franco. Later, Rosalie went down to the bar and told Michael that Nina wouldn’t sell because of some sentimental attachment to the shares. She then gave him his money back. Michael then headed off, but tikd her to stay and have lunch on him.
Back in Nina’s room, Olivia showed up and demanded that Nina pay up or get out. Nina planned to pay and showed her the cash she had recently come into. Meanwhile, down in the bar, Rosalie handed over the shares of ELQ to Nikolas.
In her suite, Anna called Jordan to congratulate her on becoming commissioner. Jordan was feeling guilty for taking the job. Anna wished her luck. They then discussed Duke and Jordan assured her that he loved her very much. When Anna got off the phone, Luke arrived at her door. He promised her that he wasn’t a threat to anyone anymore, not even to Scott. Luke then paid his condolences. She then burst into tears. He then told her that he felt a bit responsible since he had worked with Julian. "I want to do something to help," he offered. She insisted there was nothing to be done. Luke then invited her to his engagement party. She was touched, but said that she was leaving Port Charles and going to Scotland to scatter Duke's ashes in the spot where they used to stargaze. They then recalled their past and how important their friendship had been. After he left, she packed Duke's photo and ashes.
Meanwhile, Nina settled her bill with Olivia. When Olivia walked into the hall, she bumped into Dante and Nathan. She took Dante aside and Nathan headed in to see his sister. He told her that he was there to make an arrest. Down the hall, Olivia informed Dante that they needed to say goodbye. Dante then pointed out that Julian was leaving the mob so maybe she didn't need to leave at all. She replied that she couldn't trust Julian’s word. Dante then told her that he would miss her. She told him what an angel he was and then they tearfully embraced.
Valerie arrived in Jordan's office for her interview. Jordan looked through her CV and was impressed. Then, Dante interrupted as Jordan announced that she was hiring Valerie for the job. They then welcomed her aboard and Dante gave her a hug and showed her around. She thanked him for his recommendation. Valerie then offered to take him and Lulu out for dinner.
Meanwhile, Nathan escorted Nina into the PCPD interrogation room. Franco was there because he had told the cops that she had confessed to kidnapping AJ. She demanded that he retract his statement, but he replied that he would only do that if she agreed to get an annulment. Diane had already drawn up the papers. "If you want to stay out of prison, you'll sign them." he said.
At the Quartermaines, Dillon worried to Tracy about her choice to marry Luke again. Then, Sabrina dropped off the baby and Dillon was introduced to AJ. Tracy then handed the baby to him and ran off, yelling for Alice. Then, Lulu strolled in and was startled to see him. They hugged and both of them thought things were moving a little fast with their parents. The topic then turned to her marriage and baby. She then tipped him off about Valerie and pasted on a smile. Then, Tracy returned in a panic about what to wear. Then, Luke strolled in and Tracy confirmed that she would be at the party. He promised there would be no drama.
"Avery is the one that saved your life!" Silas blurted out to Denise at the penthouse. He was sure that she was Ava. Silas then recollected his argument with Ava concerning taking AJ's marrow to save her life. Ava was outraged to learn that he had kidnapped her. "Not only are you a ginormous liar, you're a kidnapper to boot," Denise assessed. He then recalled how Ava laughed when she heard that the cops looked at Nina for the kidnapping. Silas then made her promise to stay away, but she realized that she couldn't stay away from her daughters forever. He continued to badger Denise until she finally admitted that she was Ava. "I broke our deal and there's nothing you can do about it!" she bellowed. She then threatened to expose him as a kidnapper if he outed her. Ava then claimed that since AJ's bone marrow had replaced hers, so the Ava he knew no longer existed. He then pointed out that the only reason the cops didn't get a match on her DNA was because of the kind of test they ran. If they had used her saliva, she would still come up as Ava. She then pointed out that Delia was backing up her story and that she was sure that hiding in plain sight was the only way to go. She then flashed her tattoo to him and explained how she removed her fingerprints by burning them off. Silas didn't want to lie for her, but she wanted her family back. "I want you in my life," she then told him. Silas didn't have much say in the matter anymore.
At the PCPD, Valerie asked Dante to dinner with Lulu to celebrate her new job. He said that she didn't need to thank him, but she was insistent. She pushed him to go with her and let Lulu join them later.
In the interrogation room, Franco and Nathan prodded Nina to sign annulment papers. Otherwise, she would be arrested for kidnapping. She refused insisting that Ric loved her. Franco then repeated their ultimatum. She was disappointed in her brother for going along with this. He replied that he was only trying to protect her. Nina continued claiming that Ric loved her and that she didn't need saving. She then told Franco that she would never go back to him because he didn't trust her. When she challenged Nathan to arrest her, he took Franco outside instead. "This was a huge mistake," Nathan said. Franco pushed him to arrest her and prayed that she would come to her senses. They returned to her and Nathan refused to arrest his sister. Once she was gone, Nathan told Franco that he would find another way to break up the marriage. Franco was sure he just made it all worse.
At The Floating Rib, Carly, Bobbie, Scott and Sonny toasted to Brad and Lucas. Bobbie hoped that Brad's parents would be involved in planning the wedding. Scott then started accusing Sonny of getting Hayden shot. As they lectured each other and started yelling about Karen, Dante and Valerie arrived. Sonny and Scott then began pushing each other. Dante broke it up and then introduced Valerie around. Later, Nina showed up as Silas played pool. She then filled him in about what just happened.
At the Quartermaines, Alice helped Tracy pick out jewelry. Alice admitted that she had a hard time accepting that Luke really did so many horrible things. Then, Luke walked in to claim responsibility. He apologized for how he treated her and hoped they could move past it. She then threw her arms around him. Then, Michael arrived. Tracy announced the engagement and invited him to the party. He replied that he was having a rough day and turned them down. Tracy, Alice and Luke then left. Then, Dillon strolled in and caught up with Michael. Once Michael was left alone, Ava arrived at the door.
Lulu was on The Haunted Star doling out orders to the staff. Then, Lucy jogged in, ready to officiate. Lulu explained that it was only a party, not a wedding. They then talked about how interesting it would be to have both Sonny and Scott there. Although they made plenty of calls, they didn't have much luck finding people to invite. Lulu then mentioned that Dillon was back and Lucy started quizzing her until Tracy and Luke arrived. They wondered where the guests were. Lulu called Dante, complaining that she couldn't track down any of the guests. Dante then explained that they were all with him. Moments later, they all arrived on The Star. Luke thanked his daughter for all of her hard work. After he strolled away, Dante and Valerie informed her about her new job. Lulu called Dillon over to introduce him to around.
Across the room, Sonny and Luke chatted until Spencer called everyone to attention. He thanked them for attending and took the blame for all that he had done. They were the people who have defined them. Their love was why he was standing there. Then, Tracy's love finally dragged him into the light. Luke told the story of their love affair. He then said that he didn't deserve the chances she was giving him, but he would take it. He then toasted to the woman he loved. Then, Laura walked in.
