The police quickly called off the search for her and no body has been found-but after she has not turned up over the course of several weeks, the time has apparently come for her family members to be prepared to say their goodbyes-something her daughter Kiki (Hayley Erin) is getting ready to do by preparing a memorial service.

However, she will need to convince her uncle, Julian (Michal DeVry) that it is the right thing for them to do first.

"My mom's gone and she's never coming back," she says to him in a preview clip for the Friday, Feb. 27 episode.

However, as they potentially team up to give Ava the memorial service she deserves, Silas (Michael Easton) is keeping a huge secret from everyone about the missing mom and mobstress. She is actually very much alive-and only he knows where she is now.

It is unclear how he was able to find her and sweep her off and away to some secret hideaway-and it's unclear what his intentions and motives concerning his former mistress are. But after encouraging Kiki to go ahead with the memorial service, he made up a reason for himself to skip town-and went to her mother.

"I'm here now," he says to Ava in the clip.

General Hospital airs Monday-Friday at 3 p.m. on ABC.
