General Hospital on 5/11/2015 – Sloane’s plan, Liv’s baby, Anna slaps Julian, Duke is …
Anna calls for an ambulance, and tells Duke to stay with her while he struggles to breathe and says he is sorry.. and passes out before he can tell her who shot him. He opens his eyes and says Jordan is in danger! He tried to call it off, he swears.. he has so much blood on his hands, but she says it doesn’t matter, they will fix everything and go away as planned. She leans over him and talks about buying a little cottage in Scotland together, imagining their life together. It will be glorious, he just needs to hold on a little longer. She cradles his head and talks abut their future, while the ambulance gets closer, she would go anywhere for him, she will love him forever. Duke says their life would have been beautiful.. and he passes out!
Shawn arrives..
At Jordan’s apartment, she guesses that Anna is planning to run away with Duke – Sloane insists he will pay for ordering a hit on a federal agent, when Shawn arrives. He finds out that someone tried to kill her, but she pretends it was a low-level nobody from the Jerome organization. Sloane takes a call from Nathan and finds out that Duke has been shot – and Anna called it in. He says they have Jake Doe in custody as a suspect. Shawn tells Sloane he can leave now, and Sloane warns him not to continue the mob war.
Shawn wants to retaliate, but Jordan talks him down, she just wants to help her forget it ever happened.
Carlos needs help
Carlos arrives at Sabrina’s front door, he needs help – she wants to know what’s going on, but reluctantly lets him in. He flashes back to shooting Duke and tells her he is in REAL trouble and need her to hide him, there is no one else he can trust. She wants to know what he has done, and he grudgingly admits he shot someone. She tells him to get out and starts to scream at him – he says he’s there to talk about Ava, his trial starts tomorrow and he’s skipping town before it goes against him! She doesn’t understand why he wants to run now, what changed? He says his case isn’t looking good anymore – there was a deposition from a witness who saw him on the bridge that night, some kid with a telescope who saw him shoot Ava. He can’t go back on Pentonville, and will run tomorrow. He hates to put her in this position, but asks if she will hide him for the night?
Jake in custody
At the PCPD, Nathan questions Jake about what happened at the parking garage, but Jake insists he has nothing to hide, the gun wasn’t his. The CSI brings in a report on the gun, it has been fired. He returns with the news that Duke Lavery has been shot on the pier, and figures there is something Jake isn’t telling him. Jake decides he wants a lawyer. Sloane returns to the PCPD and asks Nathan about his suspect? He pretends he put the APB out on Anna was a mistake and goes in to talk to Jake, who has a good idea who shot Duke!

Tracy notices the two are getting closer, and asks if it’s wise from a business-standpoint, as she is an employee.
