Storylines[]
Introducing themselves
Dillon and Kiki officially met at General Hospital in April 2016. Kiki was about to go home after recovering from a gunshot wound and Dillon was visiting his sick mother in the hospital. They bumped into one another when Kiki was being discharged. Kiki recognized him as the guy from the party at The Haunted Star, who played the video and Dillon recognized her too. After properly introducing themselves to each other, Dillon apologizes to Kiki because she was shot during his father, DA Paul Hornsby's drug sting operation. Kiki doesn't blame him and tells him that he is not responsible for what his father does, just like she's not responsible for what her mother, Ava does.
Their next meeting comes at Franco Baldwin and Nina Reeves' apartment, where Kiki also lives. Dillon helps a drunk Nina get home and she throws herself at him. Dillon is able to avoid Nina's advances but ends up shirtless anyways. Kiki comes into the living room right after Nina passes out and Dillon and Nina are in a compromising position. She teases Dillon, before telling him that she heard everything and knows Nina was throwing herself at him.

A couple days later, Dillon stops by Kiki's apartment to check on her. He let air out of his tire and heads up to her place with the story that he just happened to get a flat tire in the area. Kiki is able to see through his ruse and he admits that he just wanted to stop by and check on her, but still needs help with his tire. Kiki appreciates that Dillon came over to check on her and she goes down to the garage with him to help him with his car. Dillon and Kiki bond as they change the tire. Dillon confides in her about his first love, Georgie Jones and his reasons for leaving LA and staying in Port Charles. In doing so, Dillon help Kiki take steps to conquer her fear of going back out into the world after her shooting. Afterward, Dillon takes Kiki for a ride and they go out together to get ice cream.

Dillon was just glad to help.

He then invites her to come with him on his next work assignment in Rochester, New York to photograph a band, The Glamour Boys at their concert. Kiki gets really excited and shares that she was a huge fan of that band when she was in high school. She thanks him for the invitation, but isn't sure if she can go, so she doesn't give him an answer right away. Just as Dillon is about to head back to work, they run into Lucy Coe, who wants to talk about his performance at the 2016 Nurses' Ball. Mistaking Kiki for Dillon's girlfriend, Lucy suggests that she join his act. After Lucy leaves, Dillon asks Kiki to consider Lucy's suggestion and perform with him at the ball and she agrees.

Morgan tells Kiki that he wants her back and Kiki decides to get back together with Morgan because he needs her.
Perks run in
When she finally breaks the news to Dillon, he is not ready to give up on them without a fight. He tries to convince Kiki not to return to the toxicity of her relationship with Morgan, but she continues to insist that Morgan needs her.
