Now that A.J. (Sean Kanan) is awake, secrets surrounding his shooting could all come to the surface on General Hospital.

Who Shot A.J.?

Though Ava (Maura West) is the one who shot him, her brother, Julian (Michael DeVry) has been serving time behind bars in the meantime. However, he could soon be freed and allowed to prove his innocence thanks to his new lawyer, Ric (Rick Hearst).

"Release my client, or you lose your job," Ric said to police chief Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) in a preview clip for the Tuesday, March 11 episode.

Ric Lansing Returns to Town

While Ric threatened Anna, Julian sent a knowing glance Ric's way, potentially revealing that they do indeed have a secret business connection. The mysterious person who has been bankrolling Julian's efforts to destroy Sonny (Maurice Bernard) has yet to be revealed, and could still very well be his half-brother, Ric.

Meanwhile, Ric's return to town has provided nothing but problems for his ex-wife, Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn). The latest issue she is facing involves the couple's daughter, Molly (Haley Poulos), who doesn't want to live by her mother's rules any longer.

"You will move in with Ric over my dead body," Alexis screamed at Molly in the clip.

While the drama surrounding the mob war and A.J.'s shooting consumes the characters affected by it, the love lives of other Port Charles residents are in upheaval.

Despite finally appearing to be in a place that allowed them to move on together, Brad (Parry Shen) and Felix (Marc Samuel) are once again on the outs, thanks to Lucas (Ryan Carnes). As he nurses his broken heart, Felix confides in Carly (Laura Wright), unaware that he is bad-mouthing her brother in the process.

"Lucas Jones...sounds like a low-rent porn star," he said to her.

However, after Carly confides that Lucas is her brother, she will also apologize to Felix for the role Lucas has played in keeping he and Brad apart. Her words could be encouraging enough to make Felix decide to interrupt a date Brad and Lucas are currently on, which is going well.

"WHat's stopping us from seeing where this is going?" Lucas asked Brad in the clip.

General Hospital airs Monday-Friday at 2 p.m. on ABC.
