At the gallery, Ava calls Scott and leaves a message asking what is going on and where the pharmacist is. She tells him to call her back and throws her phone across the room. Nina enters and says, “I think you dropped something.” Ava asks what she wants. Nina says she’s carved out half a page in Crimson for that artist she wants to promote. Ava thanks her, but frankly, she has more important things to deal with.

Ava vents about being arrested for attempted murder, that her lawyer is MIA, and the FBI agent she trusted has his own agenda. She tells Nina to just say it, she has nobody to blame but herself. Nina admits she wanted to see her suffer, but not like this. Nina asks why she thought Cates would want to help her with a custody case as that’s not exactly FBI territory. Ava relays how Cates protected her during a confrontation with Sonny, and she threw in with Cates when he offered to help her. She says all that matters to her is Avery, but now she’s terrified that she made a terrible mistake.

Ava made a big mistake GH

Ava says she now sees how obsessed Cates is with taking Sonny down. Nina is confused, as that should help her case if Sonny goes to jail. Ava says she is still facing charges for Kristina’s fall and may be behind bars herself. Nina asks what really happened that day. Ava swears it was an accident. Ava cries that Nina knows her, they were real friends before she blew it. Ava says no matter how bad and selfish she is, Nina knows she’d never hurt a child.

Nina feels for Ava GH

Nina says she can see this is a confusing situation, and things happen quickly. Nina knows life isn’t fun when your credibility is shot. She knows a thing or two about that. She knows what happens when you mess with people’s lives, resulting in nobody wanting to believe in you. She tells Ava she’s a good mom, and if she sees Scott, she’ll tell him that she needs him. Ava thanks her and says she’s sorry. Nina replies, “Me too.”

Molly checks in with TJ at the hospital. They discuss what’s going on with Kristina, and how Jordan reprimanded her for using her ADA privileges to see Ava in jail. She could have been suspended or fired, but his mom and Robert kept it off the books. She doesn’t regret confronting Ava, but she’s sorry about many things and hopes he can forgive her.

Molly and TJ make up GH

Molly sincerely apologizes for avoiding him and not dealing with the loss of their baby. She relays what happened between Cates and Kristina at the hospital, and Cates claims Kristina tried to kill Ava. TJ says that doesn’t sound right. Molly agrees, and both she and her mother jumped to defend Kristina. However, now she wonders if she shouldn’t have leaped so quickly to defend her sister. She admits, given how she went and confronted Ava angrily, that she could see Kristina doing the same to Ava. TJ isn’t sure and brings up the photos. Molly says those pictures could tell another story, maybe Ava was fending Kristina off. She hates to admit it, but maybe Kristina’s actions were responsible for the death of their baby.

Molly worries GH

TJ admits he, too, went to Ava for answers. He says her theory about Molly aligns with what Ava told him, so Kristina might not be completely blameless. Molly feels that if Kristina hadn’t gone to see Ava, their child may still be alive.

In the interrogation room, Sonny comforts Kristina and promises to take care of everything. Kristina swears she never tried to kill Ava, and the only threat she made was to tell the truth about Ava on the stand.

Elsewhere, the federal prosecutor meets with Cates. He doesn’t feel comfortable facing a judge with a case that’s not clear-cut. Cates orders him to make it clear-cut. He says Kristina is charged with the attempted murder of an FBI witness, and he wants her to stay in jail until trial.

Cates orders the prosecutor to jail Kristina GH

The hearing begins, and the judge is annoyed by the late hour.  Alexis pleads her case that her client was just released from the hospital after undergoing a C-section, and holding her in a cell is a danger to her health. She also says no evidence was presented to justify this arrest, and nothing has been filed. The judge asks the federal prosecutor if this is true and if there is no evidence. The prosecutor claims the evidence is testimony from a credible witness, but the FBI hasn’t had time to file it due to the late hour. The judge calls this a colossal waste of time and releases Kristina.

Alexis makes her Case GH

Suddenly, Cates stands up and blurts out, “No! You are making a mistake!” He looks over at Sonny. Cates says the minute Kristina leaves this courtroom, her father will have her on a jet out of the country. The judge tells Cates that he hasn’t been held in contempt yet because of his badge. She tells Cates that he has 48 hours to file the evidence and get his RICO charges in order, or he’ll be the one in jail.

Jagger is furious GH

Annoyed, Cates asks the prosecutor what that was. The prosecutor tells Cates he brought him a lousy case, and he needs to get his house in order, or he’ll prosecute him and take his badge while he’s sitting in jail.

Sonny looks at Alexis and asks, “How did I do?” She smiles.

Molly arrives and, outside of the courtroom, learns from Sam what happened. Sam says their mom held her own, and Cates had a complete meltdown. Sam says Cates produced no evidence and may be brought up on charges. She thinks the charges against Kristina will be dropped as there is no case, and Cates is just trying to get to Sonny. Sam calls the whole thing absurd, as Kristina just lost her baby, and instead of…

Molly and Sam catch up GHSam immediately realizes what she said and apologizes. She asks Molly why she wasn’t here.

Jagger goes to Ava for help GH

Ava asks if he’s talked to Scott. He hasn’t, and Ava is worried as she hasn’t heard from him. She thinks she’ll need her lawyer now more than ever. Cates says she doesn’t need Scott, he’s the only hope she has left. He tells Ava that she has to give a statement, the one he wants, and she will give it how he wants her to. She says it’s late and she’s tired, so they can deal with this tomorrow. Cates refuses, as he has 48 hours to get this case in order or else. He states they are going to start now and perfect her statement.

Outside somewhere, Nina calls someone. She says she’s desperate, so desperate that she’s contacting them. She notes they owe her a favor, and she’s ready to collect.
