'General Hospital' spoilers, recap: Nina is shocked to find Madeline and Ric together

Thursday on "General Hospital," Julian joined Alexis at Metro Court and showed her the latest article about Sonny in the newspaper. Alexis was impressed that he had stayed out of the mob, and he told her that he's done with that life. 

Michael visited his mom and Sonny, and they told him that they're engaged. Michael said that this would be marriage number five for them. They told him that they'd make this work out and they asked him to be a part of the wedding. Michael said that he wishes them nothing but the best, but he can't be at the wedding. Although he wants peace, he's not ready to put the past behind him. Later, he asked if Denise could have contact with Avery, and Sonny told him that he's not comfortable with Denise being anywhere near his children. 

In their room, Nina panicked about the baby blanket, and Ric told her that he wouldn't let anyone take her back to Shadybrooke. He played a recording of a baby crying, and when Nina asked him if he was hearing that, Ric said he didn't know what she was talking about. He kissed her and headed out of the room. 

Madeline arrived and Ric told her that the plan was going better than he thought it would. He told her about the baby blanket and said that he was sure that that would be all it takes to push Nina off the edge. 

Kiki arrived at Silas' office and told him that she talked to Michael for Denise. Silas was worried that Denise might hurt her, but Kiki said she doubted it and hoped that he could learn to get along with Morgan. After she left, Nina arrived and told Silas that she might be going crazy — she keeps on hearing a crying baby and she thinks she really might have kidnapped the baby. Silas said that it's not true — she would never do such a thing.

Here's what to expect on "General Hospital" on Friday, July 17: Nina is shocked to find Madeline and Ric together; Alexis and Julian spice up their relationship; Sonny's organization is hit.

"General Hospital" airs Mondays to Fridays at 1 p.m. on ABC.
