Friday’s GH recap: Cody clobbered Montague and escaped with Sasha, and sparks flew between Ned and Olivia as he recorded his song.
As Curtis wheels around The Savoy, he thinks of how things have changed. Nika is thrilled to see him back.
TJ arrives and watches as Curtis tells his staff how much he has missed them and thanks Nika for stepping up as manager. They file off to prepare for happy hour.
TJ tells his uncle the staff clearly missed him.
When happy hour starts, Curtis welcomes the customers. Jordan and Molly arrive and TJ declares they have a major announcement to make tonight.
When they get a table, TJ and Molly announce their surrogate will likely be pregnant soon. They toast to it.
When left alone, Jordan tells Curtis that she will always consider whim family. Molly and TJ return with more cocktails and they joke about
Jordan becoming a grandmother until Curtis decides it’s time to get back to circulating.
Nika finds Curtis sitting outside. He’s thinking about whether he fits in there.
At the penthouse, Esme is starving and thrilled to see Spencer unpacking some food. She assumes it’s for them and sits beside him.
He’s awkward as she goes on about things they should do with Ace. Trina shows up, eager to eat.
Esme leaps up and offers to take Ace out so they can be alone. Spencer says they can join them but she turns him down. Trina doesn’t look happy.
When Spencer gets the food ready, Trina loses her appetite. She’s furious that Esme assumed she was eating with him. It feels like the boundaries between he and Esme are getting blurry.
“Not for me they aren’t,” he insists. Taking her hand, he says he will do anything to protect his baby brother. He didn’t think that living with Esme would go this well to begin with.
He assures her his feelings for his ex are gone. Besides, that was just “puppy love,” unlike what he with Trina. To prove that, he gives her the turtledoves that Victor and Cyrus gave him.
He’s not sure this is appropriate given who they are from. She insists on keeping one so he can take the other. That means they are a matched pair that belong together. They kiss.
Maxie and her kids move into Lulu’s. James panics that he’s lost his shirt but his sister finds it.
Mac and Felicia arrive and congratulate them on their new home. The kids lead him off to see their new rooms and Felicia admires all the new furniture.
Her daughter admits she bought all this before she found out her company is in trouble. She fills her mom in about Tracy being behind the case and Jackson being her lawyer.
Mac and the kids leave to get food and Felicia tells her daughter about breaking into Jackson’s office and him catching her. Only Anna managed to keep her from getting thrown in jail.
Felicia promises her daughter that she and Mac will help. Maxie knows. She was proud to be standing on her own two feet and is determined to make that happen.
She reminds her mom that she could be in prison right and hopes she will exhaust her other options before resorting to doing something illegal again.
Felicia just wants to do something meaningful and she’s sure that working at GH could be that. She can’t help thinking about what it was like when Maxie got the transplant and how much she needed guidance.
Mac and Georgie go to Kelly’s to get food. They sit outside and she tells him that her mom seems worried. He assures her that if she is, they will take care of it.
James joins them and tells him he had to explain to a friend that his father is dead and was a hero. His friend didn’t understand so he had to point to Mac so he could see what a hero looks like.
Mac and the kids return to the new place with food for the BBQ. James things this is the best house. Maxie and her mom smile.
