GH RECAP: Monday December 7, 2015

Anna called the phone number she'd found in Kyle's apartment. She listened to it ring until someone picked up and said, "Paul Hornsby." Shocked, she hung up the phone and backed away from it. The phone rang moments later, and she ran out of the apartment. She bumped into Mac and told him, "We have to go."

When no one answered the phone, Paul called an associate and asked him to see whose phone number it was. "Kyle Sloan?" he clarified, floored. He hung up the phone muttering that he knew it wasn't actually Kyle calling. He left the pier.

A short while later, Anna and Mac arrived at the pier. Mac told her that the last time Kyle's phone or computer was used was when he'd texted Anna on October fourteenth. Any texts sent to him after that, Mac continued, were "picked up but not responded to." When Mac finally convinced Anna to let him help her, she confided that she thought Kyle was dead, and she'd run out of the apartment because she'd thought that Kyle's killer had been on his way.

Anna updated Mac on what had happened while he'd been out in the hallway, and she divulged that Paul had picked up the phone. Surprised, Mac remembered that Paul had supposedly given up on his dangerous work when he'd left Port Charles with Jenny. Anna informed him that she'd spoken the assistant medical examiner, who had estimated that the person who had been pulled from the river had died in late September. "There's no hard evidence that Sloan was alive then," Anna said. She believed that Paul had killed Kyle in order to pass him off as Carlos.

Anna needed to find Carlos, but she insisted that she and Mac needed to be careful so that they didn't tip Paul off. She wanted to find out why Paul was in town. "I think I know where to start," Mac said. Anna didn't want him involved, but Mac promised that they would figure things out together. They left the pier.

Paul arrived at Kyle's apartment and observed the "rusty" lock-picking job. Paul entered the apartment, followed closely by the landlord. Paul told the man that someone had broken into the apartment, and it could be a part of an ongoing investigation. He wondered if the man had seen anyone unfamiliar. The landlord revealed that he'd seen someone, but only from behind. Paul promised that if the landlord kept quiet about Paul investigation of the apartment, he would get the city to pay for the damage to the apartment, and for the back rent owed by the absentee renter. The man agreed and left. Paul looked directly at the phone and put it into an evidence bag. "I will find you, whoever you are," he vowed and left.

Sonny wondered how much progress he'd made and when he would be walking again. Patrick revealed that there had been no neurological changes, but he thought it was good to continue physical therapy. Sonny demanded that he needed to be able to walk "immediately." Frustrated, Patrick suggested that Sonny find another doctor, even though they would tell him the exact same thing. "Things happen that you can't control and you have to live with it," Patrick yelled, storming out the door. "He's all yours," he told Epiphany as he slammed Sonny's chart down on a desk.

"Come with me," Epiphany demanded, pulling Patrick's arm. She handed him a cup of tea. Patrick knew he shouldn't have yelled at Sonny. "He seemed fine. You do not," Epiphany observed. She wondered if it had something to do with Sam. Patrick informed her that Sam was going through with her divorce, but she clearly wasn't over Jason. He acknowledged that he knew what she was going through, and she had a second chance with her husband. Epiphany instructed him to give Sam some time.

Patrick thanked Epiphany for listening and asked her for some advice. Epiphany told him that what he had with Sam was special, and that he should remind Sam of it. "The sooner the better," she added and left. Patrick took out his phone and ordered two dozen roses for a "special occasion." "Make it three," he said.

Sonny got a call and listened. "Are you sure?" he said, listening for the answer. He hung up the phone and called out for Freddy, one of his guards.

Ava was pleasantly surprised to see Julian enter her gallery. She thanked him for letting her stay at his Thanksgiving celebration, because it was nice for her to be around people. He wondered who had called her that night. She repeated that it had been "gallery business," but he called her bluff. She claimed that it had been a man that she was seeing. "Is he out of high school?" he teased.

Julian asked more questions, but Ava wouldn't talk. She explained that the relationship was new, and she didn't want to jinx it. Just then, Freddy wheeled Sonny into the gallery. He revealed that his sources had told him that Ava was doing business with a man named Raj who dealt in military-grade weapons. He informed her that anyone who dealt with Raj ended up dead or in jail.

Sonny accused Ava of risking Avery's life. After denying his accusations, she finally said, "Even if it's true, so what?" Ava informed Sonny that she was no longer afraid of him, because he was no longer the man he used to be. He told her that she was digging herself into a hole of which she wouldn't be able to get out.

When Sonny was gone, Julian wondered if Sonny's accusations were true, but Ava dismissed Sonny as "causing trouble." Julian asked who her boyfriend was. "Not Raj," she responded. She explained that her "fling" wasn't serious, and she didn't want to talk about it unless it got more serious. He promised not to ask any more questions, but he advised her not to underestimate Sonny. "He may be down now, but he's definitely not out," he warned and left.

At Kelly's, Carly bumped into Jason, who told Carly that he'd called Diane. He informed her that Diane was handling his estate, helping him to be declared legally alive, and handling his divorce from Sam. Carly began to tell him how wrong he and Elizabeth were for each other, but Jason didn't want to hear it. He accused her of putting a "headtrip" on Elizabeth, because she'd tried to leave him. He didn't believe there was any reason to give up on his relationship with Elizabeth. "The hell there isn't," Carly shot back.

Carly pleaded with Jason not to give up on getting him memories back, especially since he'd already had some. He dismissed them as nothing more than "fragmented images." Jason only wanted to move forward with Elizabeth, who Carly believed was manipulating Jason. She instructed him to stop running from his instincts and trust himself. He warned her not to interfere in his relationship again. "When do you feel most alive?" she asked, with Elizabeth or Sam.

Carly described Jason's past life and how Elizabeth had never accepted it. "You're describing a criminal," he observed. Carly told him that he'd always told her when she was about to make a huge mistake, but he'd always let her make her own choices. "Now it's my turn," she said and left.

Sonny returned to the hospital, where Epiphany scolded him for missing half of his physical therapy session. Carly arrived and told Sonny how important his appointments were as Epiphany left the two alone. He informed Carly that she'd also been late for the session. She told Sonny about her disagreement with Jason. She just wanted to get through to. "We both want our Jason back," Sonny said, "and there's no one I need more right now."

"It's not a good time," a scowling Elizabeth said when she opened her door to Sam. "Too bad," Sam said, inviting herself into the house. "I know what you did to Jason," Sam accused. She continued that Elizabeth had known long ago that Jake was Jason, and that Laura had confirmed it. She called Elizabeth a "cruel, selfish hypocrite." "You're lying," Elizabeth said nervously. "Am I?" Sam wondered.

Sam relented that she had made it up that Laura had confirmed the story, but she'd seen how scared Elizabeth had looked, which was proof on its own. "You're worse than Helena. At least she owned up to what she did," Sam spat. She remembered running into Elizabeth in the hospital chapel right after Elizabeth had run away from Jake's proposal. She realized that Elizabeth had felt guilty about keeping the secret of Jason's identity.

"You lie every time you tell Patrick you love him," Elizabeth said smugly. She informed Sam that Sam's husband no longer existed, and Sam hated Elizabeth because she had what Sam thought she had lost. "Deal with it, because there's no way I'll let anyone else have him," Elizabeth finished. "We're done here," she said. Sam promised that, although she had no proof, she would "damn well get it." She vowed to make Elizabeth regret keeping Jason away from Sam and Danny. "Get out," Elizabeth said, throwing open the door to see Jason standing there.

Jason wondered what was going on as he walked into the house. "She was just leaving," Elizabeth said of Sam. Frustrated, Sam yelled at Elizabeth to "tell the truth, or I will."
