General Hospital Recap July 10

Liesl came to see Anna, just as she was remembering having nosebleeds while locked up on Spoon Island. Liesl told her she needed her help.

She told her how she was forced to complete the project and now her son was killed, and his name was being tarnished in a WSB coverup. Anna told her that she couldn’t handle getting involved in that.

Liesl told her she’d been held captive in the exact same room. Anna said she’d been listening to doctors for months tell her that she was never there, and if Liesl had proof of what was real, she needed to show her.

Liesl drew a map of the room and told her that Josslyn and Carly were also in the room. Anna was emotional and relieved, but didn’t know what it had to do with exonerating Cullum for Cassius. She recounted how he lied to her and the lengths Cassius went to.

Anna said Cassius seemed more like his father than Liesl seemed to want to acknowledge. The two started arguing about whether or not Cullum or Cassius was the real villain. Anna believed it had to be Cassius who messed with her head, so Liesl suggested they go talk to Josslyn.

Anna told Liesl that all her dealings with Cassius had been lies and that she wouldn’t help clear his name. She said she couldn’t deal with anything but her recovery.

Before walking out, Liesl told her clearly that she would not have her son be painted as a monster and she would clear Cassius’ name with or without Anna’s help.

Brennan Raises More Questions About Drew

At Willow’s, Brennan thanked Elizabeth for her care, but she was curious about his recovery. She told him, Willow, and Nina that she wondered if there was a difference in how quickly he was recuperating at Turning Woods, whereas Drew was still immobile in the house.

Jack explained that his “stroke” was caused by exposure to a top secret chemical, which is why he was moved to Turning Woods. He assured Elizabeth that Drew couldn’t have been affected by the same thing.

After Jack left, Willow thanked Elizabeth for being a good friend. She left too, then Willow told Nina they had to get their hands on Jack’s evidence, or they were done.

Lulu Confronts Carly Over Valentin

Lulu turned up at Carly’s, wanting to know whether Carly had arranged it for Valentin to see Charlotte behind her back. “Before this goes any further, you should know Josslyn joined the WSB,” Carly began. She explained how she needed help and reached out to Valentin.

Lulu could understand her desperation but said Valentin didn’t do anything without getting something in return. She asked Carly what she promised him.

Carly admitted that she arranged with Jack to transfer him to the U.S., but he orchestrated his own escape. Carly also told her that Valentin lived in her attic. Lulu blew up.

Lulu asked what else she did, and if she’d lied to bring Charlotte to see her father on Christmas. Carly told her she did but was unapologetic for doing what she had to to keep her daughter safe.

Lulu was glad Josslyn was safe but knew that there was more to it than that. She told her she saw her kissing Valentin and accused her of endangering Charlotte to keep him in her bed. She went off about how she saw Charlotte almost get shot just being near Valentin. She asked how Carly didn’t want Josslyn shot but was okay with Lulu’s daughter endangered.

Carly tried telling Lulu that Charlotte loved her father and she would push her away, trying to keep her and Valentin apart. She added she didn’t need parenting advice, since Josslyn wasn’t confiding in her.

Lulu warned Carly that she knew Valentin better and knew how treacherous he was. She said he would do the same things to her that he had done to Nina and Anna before storming out.

Valentin Thanks Josslyn

Valentin brought flowers to Josslyn in the hospital, and noted that she didn’t seem surprised to see him there, or walking free. He had figured out her deal with the WSB.

Valentin thanked Josslyn for giving him his life back, but then wanted to know why she did. Josslyn explained that she needed to ensure Valentin wasn’t charged so that her mom wouldn’t be indicted too. Since Cassius and Cullum were both dead, it didn’t matter.

Ava Questions Ethan

At the Metro Court pool, Ava approached Ethan. They bantered but when he flirted, she dumped her drink on him to cool off. Ava asked Ethan what he remembered from the storage room and he admitted not much.

Ava told Ethan that he told her that Phoebe wasn’t his daughter. She accused him of running a con, but he said he had money and didn’t need to extort anyone. Ethan said the truth was he made a promise to Phoebe’s mother, and he was trying to protect her and said it was as serious as saving Ava’s life.

Brook Lynn Admits She Framed Willow

At the Quartermaine mansion, Chase found Brook Lynn with Phoebe. After she went to her bassinet, Chase said he talked to Lucy. He told her about their conversation then asked her if she was the one who framed Willow.

Brook Lynn admitted that she did and explained why. Chase was furious and said that Brook Lynn did it to keep him away from Willow, but all she did was push him and her apart instead. Chase didn’t know how Brook Lynn could have done that to Willow after all she’d done for them. “Willow? That’s what you care about?!” she fumed.

Britt Is Finally Released

Joe came to see Britt and asked her why she was injecting herself with saline. She said because she was a world-class idiot. Britt told Joe that Cullum was lying to her to get her to do stuff for him.

Joe said that he was sorry Cullum messed with her head, and then he gave her release papers and told her she was free to go. Britt was stunned and didn’t even know where she would go. She said she had no money, car, credit cards, or phone. Joe handed her a five-dollar bill and said she could pay him back later.

Josslyn Sends Valentin to Anna

Brennan came to the hospital to see Josslyn, and she told him that Valentin had just been there. Jack didn’t know about her agreement, but she implied she was the one to thank. She commented that Valentin and Carly weren’t going to last.

When Jack wondered how she knew that, Josslyn replied, “Because I just sent him straight to Anna.” She thought it was the perfect way to ensure that Valentin left her mom.

Meanwhile, Anna was at home trying to settle in again when there was another knock at the door. She opened it to see Valentin, and they both stared, then smiled.
