Storylines[]
On December 6, 2023; Esme and Ace move out and into their own apartment - thanks to Laura cosigning for them. On Christmas Eve, Esme starts getting her memory back. She breaks into Wyndemere on New Years Eve searching out answers. The rest of her memory does come back - but she is arrested for B&E when Ava presses charges. After a conversation with Spencer while she's in custody, he realizes her memory is back.
The day of her arraignment, Nikolas shows up at his mother's penthouse where Spencer is babysitting his napping brother. Father and son have a heartfelt, real, and honest conversation with each other. They discuss Esme's crimes and agree she has her memory back, making her evil and dangerous as the late Ryan Chamberlain and the late Victor Cassadine combined. Nikolas meets Ace, and they take to each other immediately. Their father wants to take both his sons with him out of town for their protection. Spencer refuses to leave Trina, but agrees to let him take his brother. Esme acts distraught after finding out Nikolas took Ace, but backs down from calling the police once Spencer blackmails her about knowing her memory is back and she can be arrested and tried for her crimes.
Nikolas and Ace come back to town on February 5th, upon hearing of Spencer's death. Laura is welcoming, and Nikolas believes taking his younger son led to his older son's death. Laura reassures him it was all on Esme. At first, he wants to leave Ace with her and Kevin, thinking he'll be safer, but she convinces him to atone for his actions so he can be back with Ace. Dante is called and arrests Nikolas - who says good bye to his mother and kisses Ace, who smiles when his father tells him he loves him. Nikolas was later replaced by his uncles Valentin and Cyrus as well as FBI agent John Cates previously Jagger Cates.
On October 22-23, Ace's maternal grandmother Heather Webber is about to get released from Pentonville Penitentiary as Judge James Orvis vacated her sentence.
On October 28, a recently released Heather Webber shows up at the Collins Penthouse. She is leaving town with his uncle Steve Webber and live with him in Sedona, Arizona. Needing closure, she wants to meet her grandson with permission from Kevin. He agrees, and she talks to the toddler about his late mother, her daughter, and tells him goodbye, but she will be back.
