General Hospital on 8/3/2015 – Franco believes Nina, Morgan confesses to Sonny, Hayden is awake & more!
Franco sees Nina kneeling over Silas’ dead body with a knife… “help me” she says. She panics and doesn’t know what to do, while Franco gently takes her hand that is holding the knife and tells her Silas is dead. Nina gets agitated and asks him to stop the bleeding, but there is no pulse.. she tells Silas she was angry and is sorry, but Franco stops her – she can trust him, and wants to know what happened? She was angry at Silas and wanted to confront him, pounded on the door, but he wouldn’t open it.. she turned the knob and found him lying there.. a knife in his back. She tried to pull the knife out, and asks if he believe her? He says he believes her completely because he loves her. He hugs her close.. then says no one else will believe her, so they need to get out of there. He wants her to sneak back in to Shadybrook – a perfect alibi – and she can’t tell anyone she knows Ava is alive, or Silas kidnapped Avery. They would be motives for murder. She agrees, but first wants to say goodbye to Silas. She lies down on the floor next to him and remembers when they first met.. and all their shared moments.. this isn’t fair and she will never forget him. Franco says they need to clean up and cover her tracks.. she tells him she loves him and they kiss over Silas’ body. After she leaves, Franco wipes the knife clean, and talk to Silas about Kiki – poor kid has enough to deal with.. a lying mother, cheating bastard boyfriend.
Nathan accuses Ric

Ric hands it over to him and says it’s a waste of time, the blanket is useless as it doesn’t belong to Avery, it’s his. He explains it was meant as an olive branch for Michael, but he can’t give it to Sonny now as it has the wrong initials. Nathan wonders why he didn’t say that in the first place? Ric claims he didn’t give him a chance, and Nina has now voluntarily committed herself to Shadybrook.. Nathan is shocked and accuses him of working with Madeline, when Ric angrily tells him to leave. Nathan says he is dangerous.
Laura’s decision

She agrees to keep the secret to herself, and Nik says that’s the best decision. Laura says she needs time to get used to things, but can’t do that in Port Charles – she has decided to visit Lucky, and will come back when she has figured out a way to live with the secret. She walks out the door, leaving Nik and Liz behind.

She claims she doesn’t know Ric Lansing, and asks Jake what’s going on.. he tells her he isn’t her husband, and doesn’t know who he is.
