General Hospital Recap

At Michael’s, Wiley and Jacinda chatted about video games and getting to play them together. After Wiley went to bed, Michael suggested they go out so he could avoid the family cocktail hour.

Alexis was stunned when Kai and Trina told her they knew who shot Drew because they were there. Alexis questioned them, and they told her that they heard Willow shoot Drew and flee the scene.

Trina and Kai told Alexis about the ringtone. Alexis asked if they really thought Willow was a cold-blooded killer. They admitted there was no other evidence, other than the bat.

Kai asked what Alexis was going to do with everything they just told her. “Absolutely nothing,” she said. Alexis said she had a duty to her client, and if they went to the police, they’d only be admitting to their own crime.

At the Port Charles Grill, Kristina asked Molly how her date with Cody went. Molly said their relationship was already over and told her about the moment James asked if she was his girlfriend.

Molly lamented that she didn’t mean it, her mouth just got ahead of her brain, and now she and Cody were over before they even got started. Kristina told her she could clean things up.

Meanwhile, at the barn, Cody was having the same conversation with Felicia. She could tell that Cody really cared for Molly. He said that she was different, and he really got to know her before acting on his feelings.

Molly went to see Cody and told him that she messed up and that she wanted to be his girlfriend. Cody happily held her to it.

Michael and Jacinda joined Kristina at her table, and Jacinda apologized for taking Kristina’s money and messing things up for Michael at court. Michael didn’t want to talk about court anymore, so they had drinks and dinner.

Drew and Willow came home as he ranted about what happened. Willow offered to take his shirt, but rolled her eyes as she walked away with it. 

Nina showed up, and Drew gleefully told her they were celebrating the fact that his testimony allowed Willow to give an amazing performance on the stand.

Martin showed up with a court order from Tracy to return her items, or he’d face a bunch of issues, like an audit. Drew wanted to show Tracy what she’d be up against and left with Martin.

When Drew walked out, Nina muttered how she was gone and said, “I thought he’d never leave.” She apologized for expressing that to Willow, but was shocked when she told her she felt the same way.

Nina said it must be hard to return her husband’s love after attacking Michael instead of defending her on the stand. Nina added that it was obvious that Michael shot Drew and framed her innocent daughter.

Willow said her heart felt like it was going to jump out of her chest when she was being cross-examined. “I just told the truth: I love my children. Everything I’ve done, I’ve done for them,” Willow told Nina.

Nina said that once she was exonerated, Willow could divorce Drew and get partial custody. And once Michael was taken away for attempted murder, she wouldn’t need Drew at all.

Willow just wanted to get through the trial. Nina told her again that whatever she decided, she would support her emotionally and finanically. Willow thanked Nina but said cutting ties with Drew wouldn’t be simple and that they were far from finished.

In the Q mansion living room, Tracy, Olivia, Ned, Brook Lynn, and Chase discussed Drew taking the heirlooms.

Ned had a flashback to confronting Drew when he had his heart attack, and how he accused him of faking it. Meanwhile, Olivia tried suggesting to Tracy that they focus on their good fortune and forget material things.

Ned interupted to say they were not letting Drew keep the items, “Not after her –” he started to say. “He what? What did Drew do?” Tracy asked.

Ned told them about his argument with Drew and how he’d walked away when he collapsed. The family was aghast that Drew left him to die. 

As they chaotically tried to process the information, Drew and Martin arrived. Yuri apologized to Tracy, saying that he tried to stop them without doing too much damage. “That’s okay, Yuri, damage away!” Tracy enthused. Yuri was delighted and yanked Drew’s cane out of his hand, but before he could hit him with it, the Qs settled things down.

Drew said he came to tell Tracy that they weren’t threatened by her. As they argued, Tracy realized that it was Martin who ratted her out and not Chase. Drew jumped on that, but Brook Lynn interrupted to blast Drew for leaving Ned to die. 

“That’s a tad over dramatic,” Drew said as they heard a shotgun click. They all turned around to see Olivia coming down the stairs, pointing a gun at Drew. “Is it?” she asked.

Olivia told Drew the only reason she hadn’t pulled the trigger was that Ned was still alive, but told them to leave. Drew didn’t think she’d shoot him with a cop in the room. Chase pointed out he was suspended and Drew was trespassing. Martin said he was out of there and left.

Eventually, Drew left, and Olivia laughed to the family that the gun wasn’t loaded, but didn’t think he’d be back to bother Tracy any time soon. Tracy was delighted and gave her the gun to keep.

Alexis checked Willow’s phone records, which she had on file, and called the number listed that called her when Drew was shot. Wiley answered and said he couldn’t talk to strangers, then hung up.
