Joss Gets a Big Offer

On today’s episode of General Hospital, Joss meets with Hudson, who has some surprising news. He asks, “When is the last time you spoke to your dad?“

She tells him that’s none of his business. Then he drops the bomb: she’s the new CEO of Jasper Jacks Enterprises. Joss says she can’t accept and needs to call her father first. As she hesitates, Hudson tells her she can’t. Her dad is traveling the world, and nobody has been able to reach him.

Joss reveals that she’s in the WSB. Hudson is shocked—after all, the WSB isn’t something he would expect for a girl like her.

Hudson isn’t thrilled that Joss won’t accept the offer. He complains that he came all the way from Australia and completely wasted his time. In fact, he demands that she take over the damn company and just fire him in the process.

Later, she begs him for a list of names of people who could fill the CEO position. He is thrilled to learn that he is not getting fired. Meanwhile, he also keeps a very close eye on Ava.

Ava Forms an Alliance with Drew

Ava meets up with Drew, who’s surprised she invited him. She admits she doesn’t like him, but thinks they might have something in common. They discuss Curtis’ trial. Drew insists he testified because people can actually change, including himself. Ava brings up Sonny and his constant threats regarding her and Avery. Drew isn’t surprised. He says the hardest part of his illness was being away from his daughter. He would go after anyone who tried to keep him away, and he thinks Ava should do the same.

Drew mentions that while he was incapacitated, Scout spent most of her time with Alexis, and he isn’t happy about it. Ava can sympathize. One of her biggest fears is that Avery will be brainwashed into hating her. She doesn’t want that, noting she’s been walking a tightrope since the day Avery was born. Drew is sorry to hear that and says no child should be forced into Sonny’s orbit.

Later, Ava tells him that she is looking to form an alliance against Sonny. Drew is on board.

Willow Drinks the Drugged Latte

Willow excitedly tells Wiley and Amelia that she has the whole day and night off with them. She asks what they want to do, then hops on her computer. Wiley says he’s thirsty and wants a drink from Bobbie’s. Willow thinks that’s a great idea, so Wiley picks up the latte.

Willow takes the drink and tells Wiley it’s hers. She points out that it has caffeine. He still wants to go to Bobbie’s, and Willow agrees. As they head off, Willow takes a sip from the latte.

The kids are excited as Willow grabs her keys, and they all head out the door.

Michael Questions Jacinda

Meanwhile, Michael meets with Jacinda, who can’t stop thinking about drugging Willow’s latte. She shows him the restraining order Willow filed against her and claims Willow thinks she’s on top of the world. Jacinda brings up Willow’s past, noting it’s far from spotless. Michael points out that, for now, Willow holds all the cards. Jacinda disagrees. She thinks things are about to change for the congresswoman, and not for the better.

Michael wants to know more about this. However, Jacinda insists it is better he doesn’t. He chimes in and tells her that Willow is the mother of his kids; it would be best for him to be in the loop.

Anna Meets Joe

Anna meets Joe at the Metro Court pool and asks about the trial. He figures she must be skeptical since she didn’t hire him. They talk about his work with Cassius, and Joe says he’s happy to join her team at the PCPD. Anna admits she trusts Dante. If Dante hired him, it must be a good call. She shakes his hand and welcomes him to the department.

Things After the Courtroom

At the courthouse, Portia and Isaiah question Molly about the case. She warns them it could go either way because Curtis and his lawyer played dirty. Outside, they run into Curtis, Portia, and Marshall. Curtis makes it clear that he wants to spend time with his son, but he doesn’t want Isaiah anywhere around. Portia is fine with that, and Marshall thanks them. Isaiah says he needs to head to the hospital anyway. As they leave, Jordan tells Curtis she won’t be joining them.

Molly and Jordan run into each other at the Metro Court pool, surprised they had the same idea. Jordan turns to leave, but Molly chases her down to ask if she did something wrong. Molly mentions she didn’t hold back against Curtis in court. Jordan agrees, but says she was the one holding back with Molly.

Jordan highlights that Molly got her off the stand without putting her in a position to hurt Curtis, and she appreciates it. Molly notes that doing otherwise probably would have backfired. She admits it was important to look Jordan in the eye and know she tried her case honorably, doing everything possible to avoid causing her harm. Jordan can’t help but respect that. “But love you as I do, I pray to God you lose this case,” she notes.

Later, Jordan runs into Anna. They’re excited to see each other and take a moment to catch up.

Anna is over the moon to hear that Curtis and Jordan are back together, but Jordan wishes she could actually enjoy it. She explains how complicated things have been and hopes they’ll soon be able to put this crisis behind them.

At the hospital, Lucas and Liz discuss the trial. Isaiah arrives and thanks Lucas for testifying on his behalf. Liz asks how Portia is doing. Isaiah says Curtis can hate him all he wants, but what his lawyer did to Portia on the stand was unforgivable. As Isaiah vents, he can’t help but express that he wishes for a guilty verdict for Curtis.

Curtis Goes to See His Son

Back home, Stella is looking after Desmond when Portia arrives to talk about the trial. Portia hates that her personal life keeps getting aired in public. Stella hopes they can put this behind them and cooperate. Portia says she’s trying, but it would be easier if the effort came from both sides. Right on cue, someone knocks at the door. It’s Curtis and Marshall.

“How’s my boy?” Curtis asks with a smile.

Curtis holds his son and talks to him, saying he wants to be there for his every step and every word. He thought there would be a moment when he’d give in to his anger, but he didn’t. He kept it together for his little man.

Curtis apologizes to Portia, but reminds her that he will always fight for his son. They both agree that whatever happens in court, they’ll keep it separate from the time they spend with their baby.
