Lucy is at the nail spa trying to relax when Ava arrives. Kristina nods at Ava, as she’s there as well, and when Lucy notices Ava, she rolls her eyes.

Ava sits near Lucy and is shocked to see her, as she thought Lucy and Jenz were having a picnic. Lucy explains she left the basket at Wyndemere along with her relationship with Jenz, as she deserves so much more.
They trade insults as to who is more Jenz’ type. Ava tells her to get real, as Jenz used her to get a deal on Wyndemere, and she wore out her welcome by being too much “Lucy” for him. Lucy gets into a huff, reschedules her appointment, and rushes out.

Kristina and Molly Have Book Chat
Molly arrives to meet Kristina and confronts her about submitting her book to her agent. Kristina assumes her agent loved the book, and Molly confirms this. Kristina thinks she should thank her, but instead Molly tells her sister, “Thank you for tanking my relationship with Cody.”

Molly explains Cody found her manuscript and realized he was the inspiration for Casey. Kristina is confused as Casey is great character, and Cody should be flattered. Molly says he didn’t read far enough and is furious with how he depicted him. Molly explains that had she intended to publish the book, she would have revised the character so Cody couldn’t connect the dots.

Tracy Gives Cody Some Cliffnotes
In the Quartermaine kitchen, Tracy finds Cody reading a book, which shocks her. Cody thinks she’s surprised to see him reading because he’s dumb. She asks what has gotten into him and then laughs when she finds he’s reading Jane Austin and wonders if he’s reading it under duress.

Cody explains the drama over Molly’s novel and the character she based on him. Tracy asks how Jane Austin fits into this, so he tells her that Molly told him that his character is like Mr. Darcy. Tracy learns that he has read only two chapters of Molly’s book and very little of Pride and Prejudice.
Tracy gives Cody the Cliffnotes version of the book, calling it a Beauty and the Beast-type story, with the heroine detesting the hero at first until she gets to know him. Cody still says with him, what you see is what you get, and Molly may figure out he’s just a heel.
It’s All Relative
In the sunroom, Danny is scrolling through Charlotte’s social media on his phone when Alexis shows up. Danny thanks her for coming and asks her to tell him all about the Cassadine family, claiming it is for a school genealogy project.

Lucas Makes an Accusation
Lucas arrives home to Wyndemere to find that Pascal is back. Pascal tells him that Marco is currently unavailable as he’s attending to important business. Lucas, sick of Pascal’s treatment of him, accuses the butler of being jealous and wanting Marco for himself. Pascal tells him he’s so consumed with his romance that he’s blind to what’s really going on.

That’s when Marco appears and asks if there is an issue. Pascal says he was trying to explain to Lucas that he was busy. Marco thanks Pascal and drags Lucas into the living room, closing the door behind them. He pulls Lucas into a passionate kiss, as Pascal listens at the door. Sidwell catches him and thinks perhaps Pascal should have stayed in France.
Jenz overheard his and Lucas’ altercation, and orders him to find a way to coexist with Lucas. Sidwell then asks how it went in France, and Pascal says Anna believes she’s made her great escape. Sidwell suggests they let Anna cook in the mental institution for a while until they need her.

Back in the living room, Marco asks Lucas what was going on with him and Pascal. Lucas says he confronted him and accused him of having feelings for Marco. Marco says he’ll speak to his father about Pascal and wants Lucas to feel comfortable and happy here. He doesn’t want to live on his own again. Lucas promises he’s not going anywhere.
Back in the foyer, there is a knock at the door, and Sidwell finds it is Carly.

Liz Advises Portia
At the hospital, Liz brings Portia a salad Isaiah ordered for her. Portia gushes about how great Isaiah is, but knows everything could change depending on who the father of her baby is. It’s Trina she’s most concerned about, and how she’ll handle things if the baby is Isaiah’s. If it’s Curtis’ child, that will make it easier for Trina, but not her.

Liz understands and has been in a similar situation with Jake. However, she points out that not knowing is stressing her, which isn’t good for the baby.
Sonny Gets Visitors
Jason visits Sonny to inform him of the developments regarding Anna and her belief that Faison is alive. He regrets not stepping in to help Anna earlier when he had the chance.
Sonny tells Jason that he can’t save everyone, and Anna is getting the help she needs. Jason then gets a text from Alexis, and she lets him know something is up with Danny.

Alexis arrives soon and asks Jason how close Charlotte and Danny are. Jason knows they’re friends, along with Rocco. Alexis explains that Danny had questions about the family tree for an alleged school project, but the only thing he was interested in was whether he was related to Charlotte. She thought Jason might want to talk to his son.
Jason leaves, and Alexis and Sonny discuss Michael and the kids, including Scout. She just hopes Willow will allow Scout and Danny spend time together soon.

In the Show’s Final Moments
In the Quartermaine kitchen, Tracy tells Cody a true heel wouldn’t go to the trouble of reading Jane Austin instead of watching an adaptation. Cody admittedly didn’t know there were several movies made of it. She tells him that Molly knows there is more to him than meets the eye, and what happens in real life is up to him.
In the sunroom, Jason drops by to speak with Danny about his project. Danny realizes his dad and Grandmother have figured out there isn’t a project. Jason asks his son if there is something he needs to tell him.
At the salon, Molly tells Kristina her agent loves Casey and doesn’t want her to change a thing. Kristina suggests she give Cody a chance to finish the book, and when he sees it on the shelves, he’ll be so proud of her. Kristina sees the expression on her sister’s face and asks if she’s going to sell the book.
At the hospital, Portia realizes Liz is right: taking the test will give her the information she needs and reduce some of her stress.
At his place, Sonny tells Alexis that Charlotte will be a match for Danny in the thrill-seeking department. Alexis hopes Jason can reach out to Danny and prevent any trouble before it begins.

At Wyndemere, Carly reminds Sidwell that he invited her to stop by, which he recalls. He invites her in, and they head into the living room. Lucas is surprised to see Carly. Carly claims she came to apologize.
Finally, Lucy turns up at Sonny’s and needs to talk to him in private. Alexis must leave for an appointment and rushes out. Lucy then asks Sonny to clean Sidwell’s clock for her.
On the next General Hospital, Marco warns his dad that “she” may be trouble for them. Sonny answers Lucy’s question. Isiah learns that Portia’s taking the test. Find out more soap spoilers for Wednesday, February 11, for all soaps!
