Cody Supports Molly
On today’s episode of General Hospital, Cody meets Molly at the courtroom. He is thrilled and wants to celebrate Sidwell going to prison. However, Molly notes that this morning the DA’s office presented Sidwell with a plea bargain, and things didn’t go as planned.
She also reveals that during discovery, they learned Sidwell was responsible for Maxie’s collapse and subsequent coma. Cody is in shock, wishing they could get back at him and nail him for what he did to Maxie. Molly admits she really thought Sidwell would be too arrogant to take a deal like this, but the plea is for 26 to 31 years, making it a done deal. She is frustrated that she postponed her book tour for these cases, only for it to feel like it was all for nothing.
Emma Wants to Go Camping, But Gio Already Has Plans
Emma tells Gio that she has finalized plans for them to go camping next week so they can sneak away together before his recording schedule gets crazy. However, he tells her that they can’t.
Of course, he would love nothing more than to go camping with her, but he and Trina have a session coming up. He offers to see if he can reschedule, but Emma wants to cancel the trip instead. She tells him not to reschedule—they can go camping anytime. Emma is okay with it—she knows this is the life of a celebrity.
Later, as he finishes his shift, Emma suggests they go for a bike ride. He hates to keep saying no, but he has to—he and Trina have plans. He suggests they watch a movie later instead. “Sounds good,” Emma tells him.
Cody still counts it as a win and wants to take her somewhere to celebrate.
Lucy catches up with Serena at the Metro Court pool. She notes that she saw her with Michael and wonders if things are going according to plan.
Serena points out that she and Michael did hit it off, explaining that he only got involved in Deception to help Maxie. Lucy, however, hopes her daughter didn’t buy what Michael is selling. Serena tells her mom that maybe they don’t need his shares after all.
Lucy starts wondering if Michael charmed her daughter instead of the other way around. She chalks it up to his six-pack, but Serena insists that is not what happened.
Serena Meets Cody
Lucy reminds her of the importance of getting those shares. Serena agrees and says she will do her best. Cody walks in with Molly, and Lucy tells Serena that her brother is over there, asking if she would like to meet him. Lucy takes Serena over to meet Cody, noting that Dominique would be so happy.
Lucy even suggests the two of them get together at some point. Serena agrees, proposing they exchange numbers and set something up.
Valentin Needs Something from Jordan
Valentin meets with Jordan. He acknowledges his timing is bad since she and Curtis are waiting on a verdict, but she admits she needed the distraction. Val mentions he needs a favor.
He mentions saving her life. She is in shock. Jordan notes this is the first she is hearing about it and asks how he did that. Val explains that he was there the night of the accident and helped Curtis pull her to safety before the car exploded. Val also explains that because he was a fugitive at the time, Curtis couldn’t say anything.
He reveals that his favor involves her former employee, Sidwell. Val announces that he plans to profit off Sidwell’s downfall. Since Sidwell signed a plea deal, his assets are up for grabs, and Val thinks Jordan can provide the valuable intel he needs to acquire them. Jordan reminds him that he may have to battle Sonny for some of those assets.
Jordan even adds that she only gave him the intel because he saved her life. She thinks they need to talk money. “How much?” Val asks. She suggests that he can make her an offer.
Joss Wants Her Next Assignment
Joss and Brennan arrive. Spotting Valentin, she tells Brennan they could have handled this in their office. They sit down, and she tells him that she is ready to get back into the field. “When do I get my next assignment?” she asks.
Brennan tells her that she will get her next assignment when he thinks she is ready for it. After all, she almost died, and he doesn’t think she is mentally ready. Joss disagrees.
He tells her that she is too valuable of an agent for him to risk her getting killed. Joss tells Brennan about her father wanting her to run JJE. Brennan gets a call and has to take it, telling Joss she is dismissed. He answers, and it’s Nina, who says she needs his help and begs him to come by her place.
Willow Learns She Was Drugged
At home, Willow wakes up disoriented and wonders why she is on the couch. She questions Nina about what happened.
Nina informs her daughter that when she came home last night, Willow was out cold and Michael was there. Willow is stunned. She can’t believe it and swears she would never take anything—she didn’t drink or get high. “Then what happened?” Nina asks. “Oh my God, somebody drugged me,” Willow insists.
Willow doesn’t know, but it is the only way to explain how she felt last night and her behavior. She and Nina try to assess who could have done this. Nina doesn’t think it was Michael. They wonder if it was Drew, but they don’t think he could have done it. After all, he didn’t have an opportunity. The only person who was there other than them was Jacinda.
Willow figures it out and says Jacinda must have wanted to get back at her for the restraining order. Willow thinks Michael and Jacinda are going to pay for this. She promises to turn the tables on him and take the kids away from him for good.
Willow and Nina can’t find the cup. Willow wants to go to the hospital to get her blood drawn, but Nina doesn’t think that is enough. She even thinks Michael and Willow can finally call a truce. However, Willow is not having it.
Jacinda Checks in with Michael
Jacinda arrives at the Q estate wanting to explain to Michael why she drugged Willow. Michael understands, but notes she should have thought it through. He reveals that Willow was with Wiley and Amelia, pointing out that Willow almost took his kids out for a drive while high on the drugs Jacinda gave her.
Jacinda notes that she feels sick. She emphasizes that she never meant to put his kids in danger and would have never forgiven herself if anything had happened. Michael tells her that it is only a matter of time before Willow figures out that she was drugged, traces it back to Jacinda, and assumes he was the one who put her up to it.
Michael reveals that he got rid of the cup so her fingerprints wouldn’t be a matter. However, he worries about what will happen if Willow goes public with this.
Jacinda Says Goodbye
Jacinda wishes there was a way to fix this. “There is,” Michael tells her, but notes that she is not going to like it.
As much as it kills him, Michael notes that they do have to end things. He knows it is a lot to ask, but he thinks it would be better for everyone, including her, if she left town. Jacinda gets emotional. She knows she messed up, but she didn’t think she would be banished from Port Charles. She is heartbroken, but she understands. After all, she doesn’t want to be the reason he loses his kids. To that end, she tells him, “I’ll go, but on one condition.”
Jacinda begs him to be honest with her about something, worrying that things were never going to last between them. He asks her not to say that and reminds her how much she means to him. He notes that she deserves happiness and a peaceful life, revealing he set up a bank account for her. However, Jacinda refuses. She doesn’t want to feel like what they had was a job. He insists he just wants her to have the life she deserves. “The only life I want is the life I’m leaving,” she tells him.
He gives her the account information. Michael begs her that whatever she does, she finds happiness, and the two share a kiss. He asks if she knows where she is going to go. She isn’t sure yet, but she knows she will figure it out—after all, she always does.
Later, Walks in and threatens Michael. She tells him that she is taking full custody of their children right now as Gio looks on in shock!
