Gio Shares Big News with the Qs
Today’s episode of General Hospital kicks off at the Quartermaine mansion with Jason and Michael sharing a hug. Everyone—Olivia, Tracy, and Ned—is happy Jason is back and okay. Ned mentions that the speedboat didn’t fare as well, at least according to Yuri. Just then, Danny walks in. “Oh, and here comes the prime suspect now,” Tracy quips.
Danny wonders why he is the first person people point fingers at. He explains he was just out having fun. Jason notes that Danny will pay for all the damages. He assures him that he will get his job back at the Metro Court Pool.
Just then, Gio arrives and is happy to see Jason. He assumed everyone already knew, then reveals that Drew is back. Gio found him in the water and saved him. He says it is crazy, and that Drew is as good as new—already walking and talking.
Keeping Drew Away
Olivia notes that Michael took off quickly after hearing the news. Gio wonders if they are upset that he saved Drew. Olivia finds it ironic, given that Drew left Gio’s grandfather for dead months ago. Jason wonders how Drew ended up in the water. Gio does not know. He found him, saved him, and that is that.
Gio is still mad about what Drew did to Ned, but he thinks the Quartermaines should consider giving Drew a second chance. Maybe all this time being locked in has changed him. Tracy strongly disagrees, insisting there is no force on earth that can change him. Jason points out that Drew used to be a good man, but after everything he did to Michael and the rest of the family, he should be kept away.
Gio mentions Scout. Tracy already told Scout she could train on the property, but now that Drew is back, Tracy does not want him there. She notices how quiet Danny is and asks for his opinion. Though reluctant, Danny tells her he does not think she should ban Drew.
Tracy is reluctant, but Jason agrees with Danny. Tracy gives in, suggesting Drew is only allowed on the property when he is with Scout, provided she keeps him on a literal leash. They all agree, and Danny hugs Tracy.
Ava and Ethan: Heat Between the Sheets
Meanwhile, Ava wakes up in bed to a snoring Ethan. Ava jolts Ethan awake. “Good morning,” he says. She questions if it really is. She suggests he get checked for sleep apnea. Suddenly, the two start going at it again in bed.
Later, Ethan gets on the phone and orders room service. He asks if Ava wants something. She throws the phone, leaving him wondering why. She explains she does not have time for breakfast. He suggests they enjoy each other’s company a bit longer.
Ava tries to understand what she is getting out of Ethan. On one hand, he protected her and baby Phoebe, but she knows he is always looking for an angle. Ethan points out that she is notorious, just like him. Ava claims she is trying to figure out what he hopes to gain by sleeping with her.
Ava wonders if he is just trying to get her to keep her mouth shut about Phoebe. Ethan makes his case, promising this is not about that… nor about Sonny. He explains that he has ulterior motives: first, she is beautiful, and second, he likes her. She notes that she has been nothing but mean to him, but he thinks she was just flirting. Suddenly, she feels a little peckish and decides what she wants for breakfast.
Trina and Kai Plot Their Next Move
Over at the Metro Court pool, Kai steps out of the water and dries off. Trina arrives and drops her bag. Kai helps her gather her things. He senses something is off, even though she tries to play it cool. Trina admits that Drew is back on his feet, and she’s worried. She reveals that Gio was the one who updated her about Drew and what happened.
Trina worries because Drew is awake, speaking, and able to reveal anything. However, they believe they are in the clear since Alexis is the only person who knows that Willow shot Drew, and legal privilege keeps her silent.
Trina thinks Kai should just resign from working for Willow. However, he does not think he should do that right away. As they weigh their options, Trina proposes a bold move: they tell Michael that they know for a fact Willow was the one who shot Drew.
Blame Games and Bold Moves: Nina and Brennan Lock Lips
Elsewhere, Nina pays Brennan a visit at the WSB. Brennan asks if she thinks he made a mistake by helping her out. She still cannot process what she did to Drew. However, Brennan notes it is clear there is nothing she would not do for her daughter.
Looking back, Nina recalls snapping because she had to act. She needed to protect her daughter, so she pushed him off the dock. She is upset with herself for letting Drew get under her skin. Suddenly, Brennan starts blaming himself.
Nina takes the blame. Even though Drew deserved it, she is grateful she did not end up killing him. She is also grateful for Brennan, who cleaned up her mess with no questions asked the moment she ran to him. He explains that is what the Bureau allows, but she wonders if his help is limited to work. She also suspects he is helping her because of Willow.
Nina is stunned that Brennan is doing all of this for Willow. Brennan notes that Congresswoman Cain has been a good friend to the WSB. He admits he might have other motives, like the fact that Willow saved his life and he is a man who repays his debts.
Brennan asks Nina out to dinner. She hesitates, and he wonders if that means no. Nina explains she did not say that. He jokes that he could have blackmailed her into it, but she says she has been blackmailed enough for a lifetime and would rather be on equal footing this time. Suddenly, Brennan pulls her into a kiss.
Willow Pays Alexis a Visit
At home, Alexis and Molly are discussing the Sidwell case when the doorbell rings—it’s Willow. Willow explains that she needs a lawyer because she and Drew are getting a divorce. Molly wonders why Willow did not mention this when they saw each other yesterday. Willow notes that she did not realize her personal life was up for discussion at the time. She reveals that as of last night, Drew is no longer locked in.
Molly is surprised, and so is Alexis. They thought he was supposed to be permanently locked in. Willow points out that she just wants to get this divorce over with as soon as possible. Alexis explains that she cannot represent Willow.
Now that Drew is speaking, she does not want to alienate him, since he decides what happens with Scout. Willow says she is sorry it could not work out and leaves. “What the hell was that about?” Molly asks after Willow exits. She cannot understand how Willow took care of Drew for months, only to call it quits as soon as he is back to normal.
Meanwhile, Alexis notes that Willow was probably planning this all along, adding that if she had to choose, she would pick Willow any day.
Drew Goes to the Hospital
At the hospital, Liz checks in with Felicia, who shares that it’s official: Maxie and the family are off to Australia. Felicia is trying to put on a brave face, though she completely understands why they’re going. Liz offers to help, and Felicia asks about the progress on the communication devices for Drew. Right on cue, Drew walks in with Martin. “Morning, ladies,” he says with a smile.
Drew explains that last night he suddenly realized he could talk. He figured if he could talk, maybe he could stand. Liz points out that this is miraculous. Drew hopes the neurologist can give him some insight. Felicia offers to take him while Liz stays back to question Martin. Martin explains that he was stunned too, but Drew needed a chauffeur.
Liz wonders what happened with Willow if she is not up to speed, but Martin explains that she is. According to Drew, they had quite the reunion.
Drew takes the time to thank Felicia. He says she and everyone at the hospital went above and beyond. Felicia notes that it is nothing compared to what happened at home, calling Willow the real hero. Drew agrees and says he needs to find a way to thank her. Drew tells Martin they have another stop to make and promises to explain on the way. As they leave, Liz turns to Felicia and says things seem really off.
Maxie Update
Liz checks in with Willow over the phone and is stunned to learn that Willow already knows about Drew and that they are getting a divorce. Liz and Felicia try to figure it out, feeling something is wrong, but Felicia suggests they just let it go.
Felicia updates Liz that Maxie, Spinelli, and the kids have landed safely in Australia. She is really going to miss them, and Liz agrees. Felicia thinks this is the right move after everything that happened with Nathan’s brother. Liz understands what it is like when a child travels abroad, and Felicia asks about Jake. Liz notes that he is doing fine and offers some advice, which Felicia promises to take to heart before leaving to handle something.
Michael and Willow
Later, Willow is at her office when Michael shows up. He announces that he is revisiting their custody agreement because he does not want Drew anywhere near the kids. Willow tells him that it is not necessary. When he asks why, she reveals that she and Drew are getting a divorce. She hopes that with Drew out of her life, Michael will have no problem adjusting the custody terms.
Michael refuses to budge, suggesting Willow can take her chances in court. Willow is willing to do just that, feeling she has a fighting chance now. Michael points out that he is in good standing, but Willow disagrees and feels confident about her odds.
He is willing to take his chances, but Willow tells him that 50/50 custody is the best he can get. Michael tells her they will see about that and leaves. Alone, Willow looks at a picture of the kids. “You see that? Mommy won, and there is not a thing your father can do about it,” she says with a smile.
Drew Makes a Big Announcement
Back at Alexis’s place, the doorbell rings again. It’s Drew and Martin. “Drew, I see the rumors are true,” Molly says as she lets him in. He asks for Scout. Alexis notes that Scout is at practice, but Drew says he will wait.
Alexis mentions hearing about his recovery, and he wonders who told her. Molly explains that Willow stopped by. Drew wastes no time announcing that Martin is his attorney and that he is there to take Scout home… today.
Martin explains that when Willow allowed Scout to stay at Alexis’s, she did so against Drew’s wishes. Furthermore, Danny was there, which violated the restraining order. Drew reveals that because of this, he will never let Alexis near Scout again. Alexis points out that she had an agreement with Willow, but Drew does not care. “What about what I’ve done for your daughter?” she counters.
Alexis thinks any other man would be grateful someone took care of his daughter when he could not. She tells Drew he has not learned anything, warning that he will keep pushing until someone takes another shot at him. He asks if that is a threat, and she predicts someone will try again and again until they finish the job. Just then, Scout walks in. “Dad!” she says in shock, running to hug him. Drew promises they will never be apart again.
