On Friday's General Hospital:

The storm raged on like Nikolas' temper and two fell victim to Anthony's madness as Jason rode toward Wyndemere to save the day.

After overhearing Patrick screaming at Robin, Nikolas continued with his attacks of rage, this time unleashing his anger and fists on Patrick. Who'd have thought the surgeon would fight like a girl? Was he pushing and shoving while Nikolas was punching in order to protect his hands or (more likely) was the scene very poorly choreographed? This was another instance of Nikolas (while ill) saying exactly what I'd love to have the chance to say to Patrick. Maybe I have the same affliction he does or maybe the condition gives Nik crystal clear perception, even if he can't control the emotions associated with what he sees.

Johnny told Lulu the story of how his mother died at his father's hands to make her understand the danger she was in. After Ric was found pinned to the wall with a sword, Trevor blamed Johnny, saying if he had stayed home and not become involved with Lulu, none of this would have happened. Johnny shoved it back on Trevor, telling the attorney he should have institutionalized him years ago.

All the while Carly had Cooper at gunpoint in the study, believing him to be the one who has been texting her about Leticia's killer. First Maxie stumbled upon them and defended Cooper, later it was Jax who came upon them. He accosted Carly for putting her life in danger and threatening what was most likely an innocent man since Ric had been attacked while she was holding Cooper at gun point.

I can't come up with a legitimate motive for Cooper to have killed Leticia, unless he was working under Ric's order and it was an attempt to initiate a mob war between Sonny and Anthony. I believe her killing was totally separate from Ric's stabbing, and time will show at least two parties at work.

None the wiser to all the turmoil, Sonny and Kate remained held up in one of the bedrooms drinking champagne and reconnecting. Sonny explained to Kate what happened, including how his car had exploded and how he believed it to be Trevor's attempts to protect his secret – his control of Zacchara's business.
