In Pentonville, Alexis cautions Shawn that if they go forward with this then the judge could cause problems for their loved ones on the outside, so they need to proceed with caution. Shawn suggests they drop the whole thing because he doesn’t want to see retaliation against TJ and he only has a few years left. Alexis wants to help, but Shawn pushes her to back off and wonders if she really wants to help or is this about feeding her savior complex. She thinks she can help him because she’s a lawyer, but he points out that she’s an inmate.

At Kelly’s, Molly and TJ are having lunch when Judge Carson interrupts them and says it looks like she and Molly will be bumping into one another more often now that she’s interning with Robert Scorpio. The judge admires Molly for taking a job with the DA after her mother’s sentencing because she could have easily lost faith in the system. She leaves them to their coffees, but also offers to help Molly out if she ever needs help with the law. Molly is left puzzled by Carson’s offer and wonders if there is a conflict of interest seeing Carson also sentenced her mother.

Outside, Molly again wonders if taking the job with Robert was a mistake. TJ is sure that if anyone can change the system from within that it’s her.

At Sonny’s gym, Carly arrives and interrupts an almost kiss between Jason and Britt. She says they need to discuss the Novak situation. Jason asks if it is important and time-sensitive.

Back at the gym, Jason gets an urgent call. He tells Carly that someone made a move against them at the docks.

Back at the hospital, Britt arrives and the big meeting begins. A board member reveals that a new candidate has been selected by Dr. Lesley Webber and approved by the entire board. She welcomes the new chairperson Dr. Monica Quartermaine, and everyone applauds. Monica thanks them all for the warm welcome, and she is glad to be back working at the hospital, now on the business side of things. She promises to prove to them all that she is worthy of taking General Hospital into the future. Everyone is all smiling except for Britt. Monica plans to reverse some of Cyrus’ questionable decisions, beginning with immediately putting Bobbie and Epiphany back on full time. Monica concludes her remarks and suggests everyone get back to work.

Finn tells Monica that he’s glad she’s back. She pushes him to go tend to his brother. Britt cuts right to the chase and asks Monica if she plans to replace her as Chief of Staff. Monica hasn’t decided yet about that position, so Terry officially asks that she could be considered for the job.
