GH RECAP: Wednesday December 16, 2015

At the hospital, Dr. Kelly Lee was surprised when Sabrina showed up early for the appointment to have a private word with Kelly before Michael arrived. Kelly invited Sabrina into the office, but Michael walked up before Sabrina had a chance to talk to Kelly. Kelly greeted Michael then offered both him and Sabrina a seat. Michael admitted that he had been concerned about the baby's large size and had researched the possible complications online. Kelly smiled politely as she showed him the sonogram image of the baby on her laptop and assured him that the baby looked healthy and its development was on track.

Kelly promised that she was happy to answer Michael's questions, but she warned him that the Internet was not the best place to get a diagnosis. Kelly assured Michael that the baby was in the normal weight and size range for Sabrina's stage of pregnancy and promised that everything was progressing on schedule. Michael thanked Kelly and stood to leave, but Sabrina told him that she would catch up with him later because she had to get a refill of prenatal vitamins and meet Felix.

After Michael left, Sabrina thanked Kelly for not clarifying how far along Sabrina was, but Kelly was concerned about the stress that Sabrina was under trying to keep Michael from learning the truth. Kelly urged Sabrina to be honest with Michael because Michael would figure things out when Sabrina gave birth to an eight pound baby a month early.

At Greystone Manor, Sonny was working out with weights when Carly entered the living room looking for Morgan. Sonny hadn't seen their son and assumed that Morgan was still asleep. Carly worried that it was a bad sign, but Sonny urged her to relax. Moments later, Morgan arrived home. Concerned, Sonny asked where Morgan had been. Morgan became defensive as he told his parents that he had been hanging out with friends he had met on Halloween and had crashed on a couch.

Carly worried that Morgan was making "unhealthy choices," but Morgan's temper flared because he knew she was concerned about him taking his medications. He pulled his bottles of pills out of his pocket and slammed them down on the table as he assured his mother that he had taken his medications as directed. Morgan warned her to stop pushing him and stormed off to take a shower. Sonny admitted that he was concerned about their son too, but he also knew what it felt like to have people hovering over him and watching his every move. Carly promised that she didn't want to smother Morgan, but at the same time Morgan needed to follow all of Dr. Maddox's recommendations.

Carly decided to count Morgan's pills, but Sonny advised her against it. Carly insisted that she needed to know that Morgan hadn't skipped doses and began to count the pills as Morgan returned to the living room. Morgan was outraged that his mother refused to trust him and offered to count out the pills himself. When he confirmed that there were twenty five tablets, he grabbed his medications and left. Carly realized that she had made a mistake, but Sonny refused to let her beat herself up because they were both learning to deal with a child struggling with bipolar disorder.

Carly was frustrated that she didn't know how to help her baby. Sonny suggested that they make a plan so they would know what to do if Morgan had another episode, but Carly feared that she might end up losing Morgan's love.

After Carly left, Michael stopped by to check on his father. They talked about Sonny's physical therapy before Sonny shifted gears to ask about Sabrina's pregnancy. Michael assured his father that everything was fine, but Sonny sensed that something was troubling Michael. Michael revealed that he was afraid that Sabrina was hiding something, but Sonny suspected that Michael might be reading into things because women acted different when they were pregnant. Michael suspected that Sonny was thinking of Avery when Sonny talked about being a father.

Sonny didn't want to dwell on his custody troubles. He admitted that he was eager to hold his grandchild and hoped to be standing by the time the baby was born. Michael wondered if it bothered Sonny that Sabrina had once been involved with the man who had shot Sonny, but Sonny shook his head because Sabrina was not to blame for what Carlos had done.

At Metro Court, Ava supervised the unpacking of one of the pieces of art that she had donated for the Nutcracker gala's silent auction. She smiled when she saw Kiki on the phone leaving a voicemail message for Morgan. Ava approached her daughter and admitted that she had hoped to run into Kiki because Christmas was around the corner and Ava had wanted to invite Kiki to join Ava and Avery for Christmas, but Kiki declined. Ava begged Kiki to reconsider and pulled a Christmas ornament from a bag that had a slot for a picture.

Ava wanted to put a family picture in the ornament to give Avery something to look back on. Ava talked about the traditions Ava and Kiki had shared during Kiki's childhood like going to Rockefeller Center and making gingerbread houses. Kiki smiled as she fondly recalled getting sick on eating gum drops, but her smile quickly faded as she reiterated that she refused to spend the holiday with her mother. Kiki pointed out that Avery wouldn't know, but Ava pleaded with Kiki to at least think it over for Avery's sake. Kiki reluctantly agreed and left.

Ava sent Paul a text message inviting him over to her place to celebrate her small victory. Ava's good humor faded when Carly approached to ask Ava if Avery could spend time with Sonny on Christmas morning. Carly explained that she wasn't simply asking for Sonny, but also Avery because Avery's family was eager to see her. Ava flatly refused to allow Sonny unsupervised visits with her daughter and walked away.

In the park, Tracy smiled at Paul as she admitted that she hadn't expected him to lead the chorus of carolers. Paul joked that he couldn't wait to show her what he had planned for the Toys for Tots benefit. Tracy was stunned by Paul's transformation because she used to see him as an "empty suit" without any integrity. She felt as if she was getting to know him for the first time, but Paul warned her to be careful because people might think he was a great guy. Tracy admitted that he was.

Tracy assured Paul that she wasn't canonizing him, but he had turned his life around. Their conversation drifted to Dillon and their son's new job at Crimson. Tracy was thrilled Dillon had decided not to move to Los Angeles. Tracy wanted to believe that Tracy and Paul getting along had played a role in their son's decision because they were finally a family -- albeit an unorthodox one. Paul suddenly noticed that Tracy was cold and grabbed her hands to warm them up. As he pressed her hands against his cheeks, Tracy leaned forward and kissed him.

Tracy quickly pulled back and warned Paul not to read too much into the kiss, but conceded that it was nice having him around. Paul agreed, but Tracy dashed off to attend to last-minute charity business before he could say anything else. Moments later, Carlos rounded the corner, grateful that Tracy had left because Carlos had been freezing. Paul handed Carlos an envelope then instructed Carlos to get out of town and stay away until Paul called. Paul hoped that Sabrina wouldn't turn Carlos in, but Carlos doubted that Sabrina would report the father of her child to the police.

Stunned, Paul reminded Carlos that Sabrina was pregnant with Michael's baby, but Carlos explained that Carlos, not Michael, was the father. Paul reminded Carlos that Carlos was a wanted criminal, which meant that the baby was better off growing up as a Quartermaine with Michael as its father. Carlos refused to abandon his child like Paul had, but Paul clarified that Carlos would have to because Paul called the shots. Paul insisted that Carlos leave the country and stay gone until Paul had another use for Carlos. Carlos asked what the hurry was since Paul had made everyone believe that Carlos had died.

Paul reminded Carlos that there was dead and then there was dead. Carlos heard the veiled threat and assured Paul that it wasn't necessary. Carlos promised to leave, but vowed to find a way to be with Sabrina and their baby one day.

At Metro Court, Tracy bumped into Ava. Tracy was disgusted when a frilly piece of lingerie fell out of Ava's bag, but walked away to ask that the wine be properly labeled as gifts from Tracy and Paul. Tracy wanted the district attorney to get credit for his generosity. Ava scowled as Tracy talked about Paul.

In Metro Court Restaurant, Kiki approached Morgan's table to greet him, but he was in a foul mood. Kiki wondered if he had received her voicemail messages, but Morgan grumbled about Carly driving him crazy. Kiki told him about Ava's attempt to use Avery to manipulate Kiki, but Kiki was curious what Carly had done to upset Morgan. Morgan explained that Carly refused to trust that he had been taking his pills as directed, but Kiki knew he hadn't. She explained that the busboy had found Morgan's pills when the busboy had cleared away Morgan's pills the previous day.

Morgan claimed that he had noticed the missed dose and had gone to Dr. Maddox to get extra pills. Kiki was skeptical, but Morgan resented her questioning him. Kiki was surprised when he mentioned that he had been out all night with Darby, but Morgan reminded Kiki that Kiki had told him that he and Kiki were just friends. Kiki explained that was why she wanted to make sure that he took care of himself, but Morgan sullenly asked for water to take a dose of medication before the "pill police" tried to bust him again.

Kiki returned with a glass of water and asked if Morgan wanted breakfast. Morgan told her that he wasn't hungry, but he was sorry for how he had treated her. Kiki assured him that they were cool as long as he promised to take his medication exactly as prescribed. Morgan agreed as Carly walked up. Kiki dashed off to prepare Carly a cup of coffee the way Carly liked it, while Carly apologized to Morgan. Carly promised that she would try to respect his boundaries, but she loved him and wanted what was best for him. Satisfied, Morgan accepted the apology.

Carly approached the bar to fetch her coffee and thank Kiki for being a friend to Morgan. Kiki assured Carly that Morgan meant a lot to Kiki and Kiki wanted him to get better. Carly explained that Morgan would be fine as long as he followed the doctor's orders. Carly added that they would have to watch Morgan closely because Morgan could get worse if the bipolar disorder was left untreated. After Carly left, Kiki looked thoughtful as she watched Morgan.

Elsewhere in the restaurant, Anna told Mac that she intended to continue her investigation into Paul, but she didn't want Mac involved. Mac refused to let Anna work alone and insisted on helping. Anna appreciated Mac's support and thanked him. Mac revealed that he had tracked down Paul's ex-wife Jenny Eckert, but Jenny had refused to talk about Paul. Anna wasn't surprised. Mac added that Paul's daughter Susan had been estranged from her father for a long time and hadn't been any help either.

Anna revealed that Paul had purchased property in Florida from a developer with links to organized crime, but an investigation hadn't yielded anything they could use against Paul. Mac thought it gave Anna's theory about Paul's nefarious dealings credence. Anna reminded Mac that there were two other people they could question, but Mac doubted that Dillon knew Paul well enough to provide any help and Tracy was the type of person to circle the wagons around her son's father just on principal -- plus it might tip off Paul.

Anna acknowledged that she didn't have proof that Paul had killed Kyle then passed off the body as Carlos, but the assistant medical examiner had voiced concerns to her about how quickly Carlos' body had been cremated. Mac pointed out that a district attorney didn't have authority over the medical examiner's office, which screamed cover-up to Mac. Anna agreed because she had looked at the autopsy report, which stated that Carlos had been shot twice in the chest when Anna recalled shooting Carlos four times.

Anna hoped to prove that Carlos was alive and persuade him to testify against Julian. Mac reminded Anna that Julian wasn't the only killer they were after. Anna agreed because Paul might also be a killer. Moments later, Anna's phone rang. She spoke to the person for a few minutes, ended the call, and told Mac that they might have what they needed to prove that Carlos' body hadn't been recovered from the harbor. She explained that the assistant medical examiner had called to tell her that a sample of the body's DNA had been taken, which meant that Anna could compare it to the sample retrieved from Carlos' necklace.

Anna was disappointed because she didn't have a sample of Kyle's DNA to confirm the cremated body was Kyle, but Mac revealed that he had taken Kyle's toothbrush from the apartment when Mac and Anna had broken in. Anna was thrilled that Mac had had the foresight to take it.

In a Paris hotel room, Emma asked if Patrick had reached Robin. Patrick assured his daughter that he had left a voicemail message, but he decided to take Emma to see the Eiffel Tower until Robin called back. Emma suggested they surprise Robin since they had Robin's address. Patrick was reluctant, but Emma begged her father to agree because she was desperate to see Robin.

A short time later, Patrick and Emma returned to the hotel room. They couldn't understand why the address had been to an antique store rather than Robin's residence where Emma had been sending letters and packages to. Patrick assured Emma that they would get to the bottom of things when Robin called. Emma feared that it would take forever, but Patrick suggested they enjoy the sights of Paris. Emma reluctantly fetched her mittens as someone knocked on the door.

It was the owner of the antique shop that Patrick and Emma had visited earlier. Emma walked out as the woman explained that Patrick had likely gotten the address mixed up with a similar address across town. Patrick and Emma thanked the woman for taking the time to stop by. Emma noticed the woman's necklace and complimented it. The woman appeared nervous as she clutched the necklace and left. Emma told Patrick that Spencer had a tie pin identical to the necklace, which Spencer wore on picture day at school.

In Metro Court Restaurant, Anna smiled when she saw Patrick's incoming call and quickly answered the phone because she wanted to spend time with Emma. Patrick revealed that he was in Paris then quietly explained that he didn't want Emma to overhear, but he was afraid that Robin was not in Paris and the Cassadines were somehow involved. Anna promised to meet Patrick in Paris right away and ended the call. She told Mac that he would have to continue to investigate Paul because Robin was missing.

In a laboratory at an undisclosed location, a guard delivered a tray of food to help keep Robin's strength up. Robin appreciated the act of kindness because she had seen little of it since her arrival. Seconds later, Jerry entered the room and dismissed the guard. Jerry demanded to know if Robin had made any progress with her work because her 48 hours had expired. Robin insisted that she needed more time, but she promised that she was close to a breakthrough. Jerry was furious because he needed results in order to sell it to the highest bidder.

Robin promised that she could make someone "immortal" and explained the process of preserving brain tissue and digitally storing a person's memories, emotions, personality, and behaviors until someone created an artificial functioning body to download the information into. Jerry thought it was science fiction, but Robin insisted that it was possible for the brain to exist in digital format. Jerry conceded that he might be able to sell it, but he was curious how long it would take Robin to perfect the process. She admitted that it was years away, which was not good enough for Jerry. Jerry decided that Robin had outlived her usefulness and left.

In the hallway, Jerry ordered the guard to kill Robin.
