'General Hospital' spoilers, recap: Dante and Lulu receive a surprise visitor

Thursday on "General Hospital," Dillon arrived at the Haunted Star to see Lulu. They talked about his latest script and she told him that it made her cry. She said that it helped her see how fragile relationships are and added that what he wrote helped her heal her relationship with her husband. He told her that he had a second date with Valerie, and Lulu joked that she's glad that they could spend time together like a couple of girlfriends. Dillon informed her that he got the money from his father to shoot his movie and jokingly asked her to be his leading lady. He asked if he could shoot the film at the star, and she said it's a great idea. 

At the PCPD, Scott took Franco to the interrogation room. Scott said that his former secretary, Ms. Shipley, gave Ric a motive and that she overheard Franco arguing with Silas on the day he was murdered. Scott asked what the argument was all about, but Franco stayed silent. Scott accused him of covering for Nina, but Franco said that he was way off there. Scott advised him to plead not guilty and warned him that there's nothing worse than going to jail for a crime that he didn't commit. 

Maxie arrived at the PCPD to visit Nathan, but he wasn't there. She saw Valerie, and Maxie apologized for insulting her at the Metro Court. Valerie said that she just wants everyone to move on. Dante arrived covered in blood and Valerie rushed to his side. Maxie gave her a disbelieving look while Valerie led Dante away to clean up the blood. Later, Nathan arrived and Maxie told him how Valerie acted when she saw Dante covered in blood. 

Ava returned to the penthouse and saw Nina there. Nina told her that she's not buying her act anymore and told Ava that she knows that she killed Silas. Ava showed her the picture on her phone of Nina with Silas' corpse. She said Nina killed him. They began to grapple over the phone, and Nina got it and deleted the picture. Ava said that it's not the only copy and revealed that she stored more in a cloud. Nina said that she'd tell everyone who she really is if she shows anyone the picture.
