Chase Learns Willow is Back at the Q Estate
In today’s episode of General Hospital, Chase checks in with Willow. He notes that he was jogging and saw the door open, so he wonders what she is doing there.
Willow explains that Michael broke up with Jacinda. She notes that she and Michael want to make sure the kids are okay, which led to her moving back in. Willow claims she just wants her kids to be happy. Chase loves that, and in fact, he calls her selfless.
Later, Yuri brings in Willow’s stuff. After he leaves, Chase questions if Willow is sure about this. He reminds her of the last time she lived there. Willow remembers, but she has to do what she has to do for her kids. She thinks this is the best solution, despite the fact that it won’t be easy and she’ll have to bite her tongue a lot. Willow reminds him that no one basically knows what it’s like being an outsider. She promises to have his back if he promises to have hers.
Chase offers to help her unpack since he doesn’t have anything to do for a while, and Willow is happy for the help. Chase mentions he cannot understand how she was managing when she was apart from her kids. After adopting Phoebe, he cannot imagine being away from her for even a day. He now understands the lengths Willow went to in order to get her kids back in a way he couldn’t before.
Brook Lynn Gets Shocking News
Brook Lynn arrives and assumes she knows why her granny wanted to see her. She thinks it’s because of Curtis’s trial. However, that is not the case, as Tracy announces there have been recent developments. “What developments?” Brook Lynn asks. Tracy then reveals that Willow has moved back into the gatehouse.
Brook Lynn thinks that doesn’t make any sense. Tracy reveals that she allowed it at Michael’s behest. Brook Lynn couldn’t care less about what Michael wants, and she cannot believe her granny allowed this to happen. She is convinced that Willow is trying to get her hooks back into Chase, and now this presents the perfect opportunity. Brook Lynn wants her granny to change her mind.
Tracy tells her granddaughter that Michael forced her hand and there is nothing she can do. She also tells her that she didn’t do it solely for Amelia—she did it for Brook Lynn, too.
Tracy thought Brook Lynn had faith in her marriage. She does. However, Willow moving back in changes everything.
It’s going to kill her watching her husband and his ex interact, especially if she slips up. She says it doesn’t help that she framed Willow, and Chase can never know that she was the one behind Curtis and Jordan’s accident. Tracy reminds her that they are the only two who know, and she doesn’t plan on saying anything.
Brook Lynn Brings Flowers
Later, Willow is struggling to find Amelia’s stuffed bear. She is frantic because it’s important to her daughter. Chase finds it, which makes Willow happy. However, as they interact, Brook Lynn comes along and spots the two of them.
Meanwhile, Yuri updates Tracy about the move. She then asks him to keep a close eye on the new tenant, especially where it concerns Chase. If she and Mr. Chase are ever alone together, Tracy wants to know. Yuri informs her that they already have been.
Brook Lynn brings Willow flowers. She heard that she moved back in. However, she gets a notification on her phone and says she and Chase have to go.
Joe and Lucas Bond
Joe arrives at the hospital and encounters Lucas. They talk about the game, and Joe is happy his side won. Lucas claims there was some cheating, but Joe notes there was none. He thinks they won fair and square.
Lucas changes the topic to the trial. Joe heard about the verdict, and they are both hopeful that everyone can just move forward. Lucas notes he has a consult and has to go. Before he leaves, Joe asks about his apartment search. Lucas reveals that it’s going well. As for Joe, Lucy Coe is helping him. Lucas thinks that’s good because Lucy will help him get it done no matter who or what gets in her way.
Lucy and Serena Come to An Agreement
Lucy arrives at the Metro Court Pool to talk with Serena because she has the juiciest news. Serena assumes that means she doesn’t need her help anymore with the shares. But that’s not it. Lucy reveals that things just got easier because Michael is single.
Lucy thinks this is the perfect opportunity for Serena to swoop in. However, Serena stops her mom and warns that she and Michael are not going to have a romance.
She knows how important Deception is to her mom and wants to help, but she would rather not do it by lying. Serena is hoping there is another way. Lucy agrees to quit pushing for her daughter to be with Michael so much if she does one thing for her. She begs Serena to promise to keep an open mind and not close the door to romance.
Later, Lucy’s phone rings. It’s Joe. He got some free time and wants to come see the apartment. She thinks he is going to love it.
Joss Seeks Michael’s Help
Josslyn arrives at the Quartermaine boathouse and chats with Michael. She wants him to help her out of the trap that her dad and their mom have set for her. Michael learns that Joss got an offer to be the CEO of JJE. She came to him for backup, but Michael is sorry to admit he can’t give that to her.
Joss tells her brother that she loves what she does at the WSB and is not going to leave that. “I’m not going to give that up so I can go shuffle papers in my father’s office,” she says. Michael understands. Joss then asks for his help, as she has someone making a list of suitable candidates to take the position and wants Michael’s help to vet it. He is on board, but he needs something from her in return.
Joss is shocked to learn about Willow’s new living arrangements. Michael begs her to keep the peace with his ex-wife, but Joss is not having it.
Since she needs his help, if it means standing down where Willow is concerned, even if she hates it, she will do it.
Carly Forms a New Alliance
Hudson is at Carly’s, and she gets him some coffee. He wants to know why he is there. Carly reveals she wants to know everything he is doing to get Joss to take the job as CEO of JJE. He points out that he tried his best, but as far as he is concerned, it is a dead end. “Wrong answer,” Carly warns.
Hudson reveals he has a long list of suitable replacements, but Carly wants him to burn it. Hudson tells her that he doesn’t take orders from her. Besides, her daughter is incredibly stubborn. Carly notes that Joss is not as stubborn as she is, and she doesn’t stop until she gets what she wants.
She explains that Jax and her disagree on a lot, but on this, they see eye to eye: Joss should be the one to take over the company. Hudson tells her that Joss doesn’t see it that way. He notes that her daughter doesn’t want JJE, and he needs someone who does. After all, his future is riding on this.
Carly tells him about her daughter being in dangerous situations because of the WSB. She thinks Jax brought him in to protect his daughter. Lucas walks in just in time to hear what his sister is up to.
Lucas Has News for Carly
After Hudson leaves, Lucas questions his sister. He wants to know who the hottie is. Carly fills him in and then tells him that she wants Joss to take the job as CEO of JJE.
Carly insists that she is doing this for her daughter’s good. Lucas takes the opportunity to remind his sister that it is not good to meddle in people’s lives. Carly thinks this is different, as her daughter’s life is at risk. Nevertheless, Lucas tells his sister that Joss’s choice can be chalked up to the fact that she raised a strong girl. He thinks it is best she just back off and let Joss live her life.
Changing the subject, Lucas informs his sister that he has a new place to live. Apartment 5E, to be exact. At the same time, Lucy takes Joe to see the new apartment. And guess what? It’s the same one as Lucas’.
Joss Gets the List
Hudson arrives and tells Joss that her mother informed him where he could find her. Joss introduces him to her brother, then suggests that he can give Michael the list of candidates. Hudson is reluctant, but Joss reminds him who is in charge. Hudson gives Michael the file with the list as Michael heads off. Joss questions if Hudson added his name to the list. He says no, and she wonders if he didn’t have enough faith in himself.
