General Hospital - DAILY UPDATES

Coop is at the hospital telling Maxi that he's not hiding anything from her. Maxi says that he's a bad liar. Since Coop can see that she won't leave it alone, he admits that the guy she saw him with was Mr. Craig. Maxi goes into full scheming mode - she wants to go to Sonny and Jason for protection. So, Coop has to admit that Sonny already knows that he's connected to the Metro Court situation, that's why he suddenly decided to be a cop - to be Sonny's inside made "or else." Maxi tells him to set up a meeting with Craig and then call her with the time and the place - but don't show up.

Jerry tells Jax that he is exactly the kind of man who would terrorize a lobby full of innocent people. Still, he asks Jax not to tell Lady Jane who he has become and offers somewhat of an explanation. He says that he did it for the money and that it was ironic that it took place in Port Charles. He didn't intend for it to be more than a mere "middle man" job. Jax doesn't see how he could be so cruel. He reminds Jerry that he had dinner with Robin many times when he lived in Port Charles years ago. And Carly! She's the daughter of the woman he almost married (Bobby Jones). Craig says that it's a good thing all of these people were spared of him years ago because is a monster now. He explains that he shot Robin because he knew everyone would rally around her and leave him alone to think. Jerry reminds Jax that their dad's advice to them was that life can turn deadly in a flash. And for him, it did. Craig says that he has learned exactly how far he would go to stay alive. He says that he is capable of anything now and warns Jax never to forget it. Just then, Coop calls and tells Jerry that he's ready to meet him. Before Jerry can leave, Jax says that he could just go right over to the police station and turn him in. Unless you shoot me, Jax says. Jax challenges him by saying if he's as cold as he says he is -- he should shoot him. Craig says that he couldn't shoot him any more than Jax could turn him in. Jax says that Carly knows he's back and soon so will Sonny. "Do yourself a favor and leave town before we have to plan your funeral," Jax says and then leaves.

Meanwhile, Carly has gone to Lorenzo demanding information on Craig. "I don't owe you a thing, you thankless bitch," Lorenzo says. He goes on to say that she watched Sonny put a bullet in his head and then married him so he wouldn't have to pay for it. "So much for brain damage," Carly says. She wants to know everything about Craig or she'll tell Sonny and Jason that he's not sick at all. Lorenzo tells her that she's the worse mistake he ever made and she says, "Right back atcha" and leaves. Logan is on Lorenzo's terrace and has heard the whole conversation.

Sonny finds Skye and Jason talking in his office. He asks Skye to explain exactly what she heard. She says that Mr. Craig will kill Lorenzo if he doesn't kill them first. But she begs them not to respond until she gets her baby back. Sonny assures her that Alcazar is safe for now, and she gratefully leaves. "But Mr. Craig won't make it through tonight," Sonny says to Jason. Jason says that Craig will finally pay for killing Alan.

Sam is peeking into Liz's room and watching Liz and Lucky coo over their baby. Finally, she gets the guts to go inside and meet little Jake. Lucky welcomes her and asks if she wants to hold the baby. Elizabeth tells him that she might not want to, but Sam says that she wouldn't mind. Once he's snuggled in her arms, Sam's face lights up. After a while, she hands him back to Elizabeth and tears roll down her face. She tries to explain it away by saying that's how she gets around babies. Lucky says that in that case, it's a good thing they didn't agree to let Jake go on "Everyday Heroes". Sam is surprised to learn that Amelia approached them and promises that won't happen again. After she leaves, Lucky presents his son with a little stuffed dog that looks like his childhood dog, Foster. Liz tells Lucky that she loves him.

Logan is still hanging around on Lorenzo's terrace when his hit man comes for a cash down payment for killing Sonny and Jason. Skye comes bursting into the room to show Lorenzo a new dress for Lila and then sees that he has company. The hit man recognizes Skye, but she says that they've not met. Lorenzo introduces Vincenzo and says that he's in sales. Skye says that she's quite the shopper, so that must be where they met. Lorenzo tells him that he should be going, and then he looks at all of the dresses that Skye bought while she was out.

Jason calls Spinelli and asks him for a list of every call that Lorenzo has received in the last two days. One of them, Jason says, is from James Craig. "The unhinged one is back?" Spinelli asks. Then he sits down and gets busy, but Maxi arrives with a "life or death" matter for Jason to deal with. Spinelli warns Jason not to listen to her, but Jason agrees to give her five minutes and sends Spinelli to sit in the coffee shop. Maxi says that Mr. Craig is back! She tells Jason that Craig and Coop are meeting in the Rush Street alley in 15 minutes. "The rest is up to you," Maxi says. Jason takes off in a huff and Maxi is worried that Coop will get caught in the crossfire.

Sonny goes over to Carly's and says that she and the boys have to stay with him because Mr. Craig has returned and they aren't safe until he's eliminated. Carly assures her ex-husband that Mr. Craig won't hurt her. Then she deflects his questions by asking how he knows Craig is back? Sonny says that he got word, that's all. He's after payback for botching his assignment and will come after them. Jax comes home and asks what Sonny is doing there. Carly says that Sonny wants to protect them from James Craig - who is back in town. Carly says that the boys can stay at Sonny's for a while, but she is staying with Jax. As Sonny is leaving he tells Jax to die trying to defend his wife if it comes to that.

Sam goes to the set and confronts Amelia for pressuring Elizabeth. "What where you thinking?" Sam demands. Amelia says that Elizabeth was the only pregnant hostage at the Metro Court; she's just offering her audience a follow-up story, that's all. Amelia says that Sam's secret is safe with her, but if she wants to keep little boy Spencer's paternity quiet, maybe she should lay off the booze. They take a little breather from each other, and then Amelia tells her to throw herself into her work and that might help. Sam says that she wishes Jason would trust her enough to tell her the truth, and then goes for a rehearsal. Amelia tells her assistant that Sam has no idea that she's about to tape a domestic abuse segment that mirrors the night she killed her father.

Maxi finds Coop packing to leave town because that's the only way he can keep her safe.

As Skye is packing the little dresses up to be sent to Lila Rae, Lorenzo says it's a shame that she is caught in another lie. Skye plays dumb but Lorenzo picks up a yellow dress and says that they hate that color on their baby, so she must've just grabbed it off a shelf to cover where she really went today. He says that Vincenzo recognized her and he works behind Sonny's coffee counter.

Logan forces his way into Sonny's office and warns him that Vinnie (the guy behind the counter who has been working there for months) is Lorenzo's hit man. Sonny's first instinct is to throw him out, but just then Vinnie brings in an espresso for Sonny. Sonny says that the beans smell scorched and asks for another one. Vinnie says that the beans are fine, and Sonny tells him to drink it then. "Or, admit that Alcazar paid you to poison me," he says.

Jason and Jerry are facing off on the docks. Jason yells that he has unfinished business. Jerry asks Jason how "Howling Alan" is. Jason screams, "He's dead and you're gonna pay!"
