General Hospital Recap: Friday, September 15 – Nik’s Europe Trip Stops Spencer’s Inheritance

General Hospital (GH) spoilers recap for Friday, September 15, reveals that Blair Cramer (Kassie DePaiva) met with Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) since they were in cahoots on the Deception lawsuit. Blair talked about Martin Grey (Michael E. Knight) bleeding her dry in alimony payments and was eager for him to marry Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring) so the payments would stop.

Tracy was confident about that happening and listened as Blair ranted about The Deceptor being her idea.

Though Blair never got around to finishing it, she insisted you couldn’t just steal ideas and cheat people out of their piece of the pie.

Talk eventually turned to Tracy’s desire to get back Lucy’s ELQ voting rights and take advantage of the opportunity she’d made for herself with Blair.

Meanwhile, Martin walked in the Metro Court with Lucy and panicked at the sight of Blair sitting at a table with Tracy.

Lucy assumed Martin was reacting to Tracy’s presence and refused to let her enemy intimidate her.

After Lucy and Martin sat down across the room, she mentioned how she never would’ve come up with The Deceptor without Martin’s suggestion.

Martin didn’t want Lucy mentioning that, but she eventually decided she didn’t want to be around Tracy and said she’d freshen up before meeting him in the lobby.

Once Martin was alone, Blair strutted over to kiss his cheek and greeted him. As Blair called Martin “sweetheart,” he looked incredibly uncomfortable.

At The Invader, Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) sought Alexis Davis’ (Nancy Lee Grahn) help looking over a complicated legal document, which gave Spencer full control of the Cassadine estate since Nikolas Cassadine (Adam Huss) had been gone for so long.

Alexis vowed to go through it and get back to Spencer by tomorrow night, so he appreciated her help.

After Spencer vented about Nikolas abandoning his little brother, he asked Alexis to keep an eye on Esme Prince (Avery Pohl) and Ace Cassadine (Jay and Joey Clay) while he was in New York City with Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali).

Esme listened around the corner as Spencer brought up her awful past and the fact that she’d tried to run away before.

When Esme accidentally dropped the papers she was holding, she was forced to reveal herself and came through for Alexis on a payroll issue.

After Esme dashed off to accounting, Alexis suggested maybe Spencer should give Esme some trust and let their mutual love for Ace unite them.

At Carly Spencer’s (Laura Wright) place, Ava Jerome (Maura West) dropped off Avery Corinthos (Ava and Grace Scarola), so Carly pushed for answers about what Ava had done this time.

Carly mentioned that she went with Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) to Pentonville, where he asked for Drew Cain’s (Cameron Mathison) help finding out who Austin Gatlin-Holt (Roger Howarth) visited there.

Carly also explained how Austin took planted evidence to his boss and assumed that boss had ties to the FBI.

That led to Carly’s assumption that Austin and Mason Gatlin (Nathanyael Grey) had dirt on Ava that could land her in FBI trouble.

Ava asked if Avery could stay with Carly for a week or so since the situation was fraught, so Carly agreed she could stay as long as she needed to.

Carly warned that for Avery’s sake, Ava couldn’t trust Austin because he was keeping things from her.

Next on Friday’s GH episode, Austin came home and found Nikolas Cassadine (Adam Huss) ready to say goodbye.

Nikolas insisted he couldn’t go back to Port Charles until he tied up a few loose ends in Europe, so he planned to fly there in a few hours.

After Nikolas explained that he had multiple accounts and aliases to rely on, he revealed that this trip was about his mother.

Nikolas had no intention of seeing Laura Collins (Genie Francis), but he needed her to know that he was alive.

However, there was more to Nikolas’ agenda since control of his estate would go to Spencer after six months.

The only way to prevent his son from controlling all resources was to have confirmation that Nikolas was still in the land of the living.

Nikolas knew that Spencer wasn’t likely to give up his money and estate if he got control of it, so this was his plan to avoid a long, ugly court battle.

Since Nikolas wasn’t changing his mind, he told Austin that it was time for a family reunion and headed outside to the car that had arrived for his departure.

On the Metro Court terrace, Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) confronted Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) with evidence from Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) that proved Valentin took a flight to Manhattan the night he claimed to be at ELQ.

Valentin confessed there was a Pikeman meeting, so Anna wondered what else he was keeping from her.

Despite Anna’s anger, Valentin argued that he was just trying to keep his relationship with her separate from all the Pikeman drama.

After Valentin said it was a mistake to have Anna deliver that message to Sonny at the Metro Court pool, she questioned how many other mistakes had been made.

Valentin got caught up with Pikeman out of greed once upon a time, but now it was just easier to be an ally than make an enemy out of them.

Once Valentin insisted this was his problem, he wanted Anna kept as far away from it as possible.

Anna wasn’t feeling well after her drink, so she seemed lightheaded and out of it when she suggested going back upstairs for room service.

Anna was feeling a bit faint as she entered her suite, but she drew her weapon when she realized the place had been trashed.

There was a dress shirt with red ink all over it on the table, so Valentin was baffled.

Anna barged in the bathroom and was stunned to see a warning written in red on the mirror, which indicated that she hadn’t gotten away with it and wasn’t safe.

At Josslyn Jacks’ (Eden McCoy) dorm room, Trina wondered if Joss was nervous when she slept with Dex Heller (Evan Hofer) for the first time.

That led to Trina admitting she was going on a two-day trip to Manhattan with Spencer, but she insisted she was ready for the next step.

Josslyn made sure Spencer wasn’t pressuring Trina in any way and expressed excitement for her.

After Joss talked about Trina being the best thing that ever happened to Spencer, she pulled her BFF into a hug.

General Hospital spoilers say Trina and Spencer’s getaway could come with some curveballs, so stay tuned for updates on any shocking news that might strike.
