Alexis Catches up with Valentin
Alexis meets with Valentin at Bobbie’s. Given his track record, she openly wonders how long his freedom will actually last. She is just relieved he didn’t show up at her front door looking for a hideout.
Valentin assures her that now that he’s back, he won’t let his past stop him from claiming what is rightfully his. When Alexis questions how he plans to do that, he reveals his target: the WSB.
Over at GH, Liz questions Lucas about Britt. Britt is late for her shift with zero calls or texts, and Liz admits she needs someone to stop her from losing her temper when Britt finally shows up.
The conversation shifts to Lucas’s living arrangements. Liz mentions that Willow keeps delaying things regarding Drew’s care, so she decides to check on her in person. She tells Lucas that when she returns, they can look at real estate listings—unless he wants to move in with her instead.
Britt’s WSB Troubles
At the Bureau, Agent Jacks reports for work. Brennan asks her to sit in on an interview, just as Britt walks in. Britt begs them to make the questioning quick. When Brennan reminds her of her past actions, Britt asks if they are going to hold these charges over her head forever. Brennan advises her to make herself very useful to the WSB. He grills her about a missing black box and asks if she saw it at Wyndemere. Britt denies seeing it.
She gets a text from Lucas reminding her that she is already two hours late for her shift. She reiterates to Brennan that she knows nothing about the box, begging him to let her go if he isn’t going to arrest her.
Once Britt leaves, Brennan asks Joss if she thinks Britt was telling the truth. Joss believes she was being honest, though she admits she might not be the best judge of Britt’s character. She reminds him that while they traded intel after the pier shooting, Britt kept major secrets regarding her brother. That deception is the exact reason Joss ended up in a dangerous situation on Spoon Island in the first place.
Valentin Comes to Strike a Deal
Joss then turns the tables on Brennan, asking if he is searching for the black box to uncover Cullum’s secrets or to protect his own. Brennan insists the contents of the box are classified, and Joss accepts that answer. On her way out, she bumps into Valentin.
“Agent Jacks. Look at you. Back to work already,” Valentin quips. He then approaches Brennan with a massive bargaining chip. Valentin reveals he has the black box, and to prove he has turned over a new leaf, he is willing to hand it over—for a price.
Britt finally arrives at the hospital and tries to explain her lateness to Lucas, claiming she had an emergency stop at the WSB. She even claims to have a note and insists it wasn’t her fault. Lucas warns her that she always plays the victim, which quickly sets Britt off. However, she softens and apologizes, acknowledging that Lucas is the only person who still shows her any grace.
Lucas refuses to give her a free pass for bad behavior. He tells her point-blank that if she wants to work at the hospital, she owes it to herself and everyone else to actually show up. Otherwise, what’s the point?
Dante and Chase Agree on Something
Meanwhile, Dante approaches Chase at the station to discuss Willow. He warns him that Sidewell mentioned Willow’s name, and Turner wants her brought in for questioning immediately. Chase explains that Willow will come quietly if he handles the transport himself, and Dante leaves the decision in his hands.
They also discuss Anna, who wants Chase reinstated as Detective with Dante as his partner—a plan Chase fully supports.
Quartermaine Boathouse Happenings
Down at the Quartermaine boathouse, Scout chats with Drew while Willow and Nina watch. Rocco brings Scout a juice, and Danny arrives shortly after, giving his sister a big hug despite her being wet from the water. Scout is thrilled to see Danny, especially now that he brought Jason back with him.
The look on Rocco’s face says it all. Everyone present is stunned, including Drew. Jason pulls Willow aside to discuss a living arrangement for Danny and Scout. Willow explains that they need to schedule a time to talk, but she cannot do it today or tomorrow. She leaves the area while Nina assures everyone she has the situation under control.
Nina offers to take Drew home, but Scout stops her. Scout talks to her father, begging him to let the family get along. Surprisingly, Jason agrees.
“It’s time for a new chapter,” Jason tells Drew.
Jason and Rocco Finally Get to Talk
As Rocco prepares to leave, Jason stops him and asks to take a walk to clear the air. Scout asks Danny what their dad needs to talk to Rocco about. Danny admits it’s complicated.
“Too complicated for your little sister to understand?” she counters. Danny simply tells her that a lot is happening right now.
Away from the group, Jason reveals that Danny told him everything. He apologizes for his son’s behavior during his absence. A nervous Rocco asks if he will ever be arrested. Jason reassures him that he has nothing to worry about because Cullum is dead. Furthermore, if it ever comes to light, Jason promises to take full responsibility for Cullum’s shooting.
Rocco asks why Jason would take the fall for him, noting that he should have never let Jason cover for him in the first place. Jason reminds him that he was in shock and did nothing wrong.
Rocco asks a deeper question: if Jason had known what the WSB was going to do to him, would he still have claimed to be the shooter? Jason explains that the WSB was tough on him because of who he is, not because of that specific night.
Rocco feels a deep need to repay him, but Jason insists he owes him nothing. He reminds Rocco that he saved his life—and Britt’s life too. As Rocco grows emotional, Jason advises him to find a way to let the guilt go, admitting that he is trying to do the same.
Liz Challenges Willow
Back at her office, Willow wraps up a phone call just as Liz arrives. Liz apologizes for being overly cautious and causing chaos earlier, which Willow appreciates. However, Liz brings up the communication device for Drew. She tries to understand why Willow is stalling, asking if she is afraid of what Drew might say once he has a voice.
Willow takes offense, asking what she is being accused of. Liz clarifies that she isn’t accusing her of anything, but encourages her to let Drew speak, regardless of the state of her marriage—unless, of course, that isn’t what Willow wants. Despite the tension, Liz and Willow reach an agreement to order the device for Drew.
Desperate Measures: Nina Takes Shocking Action Against Drew!
After Liz leaves, Willow receives a call from Brennan. He informs her that he failed to secure the black box. Panic sets in for Willow, but Brennan reveals his contingency plan: he is placing her and her children on a plane tonight.
Nina receives a call from Willow and asks Scout to keep an eye on Drew while she steps away to answer it.
“This can’t be happening,” Nina gasps as Willow drops the bombshell. Willow explains that she has no choice but to run. New identities are being created for her, the kids, and even Nina if she wants to join them. Willow tells her mother to decide quickly, adding that she understands if Nina chooses to stay behind.
Drew Goes Over Today on GH
After hanging up, Nina heads back out. Scout informs her that she and Danny are going to meet up with their grandmother. As the kids leave, Nina stares at Drew with tears welling up in her eyes. The kids later meet Alexis outside Bobbie’s to update her on how things went with Drew.
As Willow prepares to flee, she runs straight into Chase. He informs her that she needs to come with him to the police station.
Desperate, Nina calls Jack and begs him to call her back. She then approaches Drew with a dark resolve.
“What’s wrong, Nina? Get some bad news?” Drew asks.
In tears, an emotional Nina responds, “Bad for me… worse for you.”
She unlocks his wheelchair and pushes him straight into the lake.
Back at the hospital, Britt finds Liz and apologizes, explaining that she was called into the WSB at the last minute. Liz coldly informs her that she doesn’t owe her an explanation—she owes one to Stella and HR, because the absence has already been reported. Liz turns and walks away to attend to a patient.
Moments later, as Britt walks through the hallway, she freezes as Jason walks through the hospital doors.
On the NEXT General Hospital:
- Nina screams at the top of her lungs!
- A tearful Willow begs Chase to tell the police he never found her.
- Britt slaps Jason across the face.
Did Nina go too far by pushing Drew into the lake, or did he have it coming? And what do you think Britt’s slap means for her reunion with Jason?
