On today’s General Hospital, Jason corners Drew outside the mansion. Drew doesn’t want to talk until Jason says it’s about the kids and tells Drew he’s moving into the mansion to not split the kids up. That’s when Drew says he’s moving to DC sooner, rather than later… with Scout. Carly shows up just then, horrified to hear that, demanding to know why. That’s when Jason says it’s because he’s moving in, and Drew says stay away, and Danny can stay there. The second Jason moves in, he and Scout are gone.
Carly says Jason moving in is the only way to keep the kids together, but Drew doesn’t think Jason is the best for the kids. Carly snaps at them both to put their children first. Jason and Drew trade barbs about who’s the worse father, and Carly yells at them to stop before their vendetta gets passed to their kids. They’re different, but they’re good men. They need to do this for their kids, “and more importantly, do it for Sam!”

Alexis demands to know if Ric is proud of himself. “Was it a turn-on to terrorize a grieving mother?” She calls him morally bankrupt for wanting anything to get revenge on Sonny, but he counters that he’s doing his best to defend his client. When she points out that he went after his daughter’s sister, he lays into her hard about how she’s always favored Kristina over Molly.
Alexis snaps that he hasn’t seen his own daughter in years — she doesn’t need parenting advice from him. And she can’t decide if she hates Ric or Ava more. They fight some more, but Ric says she’s a lawyer, at the end of the day, and if she looked at what happened, she’d see everything he said in court was true.
Hate or not, Ava’s not capable of pushing a pregnant woman out of a window. Alexis then lays into him some more for how vicious and cruel he was to her daughter. They may both be lawyers, but she’d never do what he did. He’s a horrible father and “an unforgivable human being.” She storms out.

Sonny and Kristina get to Alexis’, where Sonny tries avoiding how bad things are at court. Kristina, though, demands the truth. “Tell me how I did today!” He says she did great, but she doesn’t believe him. He hates all she’s going through and if the people on the jury can’t see that she wouldn’t do anything to hurt her baby, that’s their people. Kristina says she just needs Ava to pay for what she did to her daughter.
She says her need to see Ava punished is the only way to get her out of the house in the morning. Sonny says if that’s what’s keeping her above water, he’ll tell her to embrace it. He then asks if she gave more thought in working for him. It could be a good distraction. Whatever happens with Ava is out of her hands, but if the system fails her, he won’t.
Molly and TJ get home, where she thanks him for going to court with her. She then says that after hearing everyone’s testimony, she finally understands it was all just a tragic accident. “You don’t actually believe that, do you?” TJ demands. He refuses to call it an accident. Kristina was there of her own choice and Ava put her hands on her of her own choice.
Molly yells at him that she feels their daughter’s loss constantly, she’s not just moving on, and he says he wouldn’t know this because she never talks to him. She admits she talked to others, but it was too hard with him, which hurts even more. She apologizes and he wonders what hope they have if they couldn’t grieve their daughter together. She says it hurts her too much and TJ cries that it hurts him too much not to share his grief with her.
He promises that they can get through anything together, and he wants a future with her and only her — family and all. “I know you do, but I can’t do that again.” She can’t even think about becoming parents again right now. TJ says they’re avoiding the issue and Molly finally blurts out that she doesn’t want another child, now or ever.
He backs away, horrified and in tears as she promises she loves him. He doesn’t know if he can see a future without kids. She doesn’t know if she can see one with them. He wanted to give her space to grieve, but he let it go too long and there’s too much space between them now.
Lucky arrives at Laura’s to tell her that Lulu’s awake. She’s ecstatic, but when she wants to rush off to the treatment facility, Lucky says Lulu isn’t there anymore. He shows her the video of her leaving Turning Woods, which thrills her, but makes her wonder where Lulu is and why she left. “She’s probably trying to come home”!
Laura calls and puts out a BOLO Alert to search for Lulu. After, Lucky asks if she authorized Cyrus to look after Lulu’s care? “What??” She told Cyrus to stay away from her. Lucky describes the rest of the video and tells a proud Laura that Lulu created a diversion to escape. She wouldn’t have done that if she didn’t believe she was in danger.
“Rocco?” Lulu asks in disbelief. The two then rush into a hug, after which Lulu marvels over how much Rocco’s grown. “You look exactly the same,” he says and they hug again. “How long have I been gone?” He tells her it’s been four years, and Lulu’s stunned. She starts to cry that he’s not her little boy anymore. She apologizes for being gone for so long, but promises she’ll make up for it, and it’ll never happen again.

As they’re basking in each other’s presence, Dante walks through the front door and freezes. “Lulu?” She almost loses her balance, but Dante catches her and he helps her over to the couch. Dante sends Rocco off to get Lulu something to eat, then marvels that he can’t believe he’s talking to her.
When she admits she hitchhiked there, Dante tells her to start at the beginning. She talks about waking up and hearing Cyrus and knowing she had to get away. Dante tells her that Cyrus is her uncle, but she can’t believe it. Dante then says he went to jail and supposedly found God, but he doesn’t buy it — and neither does Lulu.
He asks again how she got there and she tells him about escaping, stealing clothes, going to their old home and scaring poor James. She came to the mansion, knowing Tracy would be honest with her. That’s when she saw Rocco. And she can tell Dante did an amazing job raising him. But she’s wondering why he’s here.

Dante stammers that they’re staying there for now, but Lulu wants him to tell her his story — and how she ended up in a coma. She can’t remember what happened that night. There’s a haze around it. She thinks back, recalling Dustin proposing to her and the explosion — and Dustin’s death.
Dante fills in the rest, saying she hit her head and fell into a coma because they didn’t know what happened. Which is why he wants to get her to the hospital now. Lulu tells him she’s fine, just overwhelmed. Rocco comes back with her favorite, turkey and swiss with mayo. Dante tells her Rocco went to see her all the time. “This feels so good being back with my boys,” Lulu sighs.
In the show’s final moments, Alexis gets home, just telling Sonny and Kristina she “had some business” to take care of at the courthouse. She’s surprised Kristina seems so relaxed after her testimony. Kristina says that after talking to Sonny, no matter the outcome, she can find peace. Alexis hugs her.

Drew agrees to stay with Scout, so long as Jason gives his word, no more violence. Jason promises he won’t be the one to break the peace, and Carly insists this will be good for the kids. “And you two.”
TJ tells Molly he’s going to stay somewhere else tonight. They could use the space. Molly apologizes and says she wishes things were different. “Me too,” TJ tells her sadly and walks out. Molly cries against the door once he’s gone and TJ does the same on the other side of it.
Laura tells Lucky she has to take care of something at the office, but he should stay in case Lulu shows up. They reassure each other that Lulu is back and she can take care of herself. It’s a miracle already.
Danny listens in as Lulu asks Rocco and Dante about her scar and bandage. Rocco tells her she had a liver transplant, but Dante cuts him off before he can say more. She says she can wait on explanations, “but first there’s something I need you to do for me.”
Next on General Hospital, Anna is there for Laura and Danny lets Jason and Carly know exactly where he stands.
