General Hospital Episode Recap May 31, 2023: The Results Are In!

Alexis comes into her office to find Esme in tears and Gregory trying to calm her down. She demands to know what is going on. Gregory tells Alexis that he was calming Esme down because she accidentally forwarded an email that outed a source. Esme tries to explain how it happened but is too upset so Alexis sends her home with a stern warning. After she is gone Gregory assures Alexis that he took care of it and everything is fine. 

Alexis asks Gregory why he has been avoiding her since he told her about his diagnosis and he admits that he felt bad for dumping all of his problems on her. He thought he had scared her off because he had not heard from her until the recent text she had sent him. Alexis tells him that she was trying to respect his boundaries but still wanted to reach out. Gregory admits to her that he really needs a friend.

Alexis promises to be his friend without pushing and Gregory agrees to let her do that. She thanks him for helping with the Esme issue and he admits that he misses the job and her. Gregory asks if her previous job offer is still open and she tells him that it is.  

At the Ashford house, Stella is surprised to hear that Trina wanted a paternity test. Curtis wants Portia to go with him to the hospital but she isn’t sure she should. She finally gives in and they leave while Stella reluctantly stays behind with Marshall. Marshall tries to distract her with dinner but Stella is too upset about not being there to support Curtis and Portia. Marshall tells her that the best thing they can do is give them space and be there when they are needed. 

Stella is afraid that she’s lost Curtis forever for not being there for him when he needed her. Marshall reminds her that she raised Curtis to be forgiving and if he can forgive him and Portia then he can forgive Stella too. They thank each other for being there the times the other couldn’t and then they sit down to eat and pray for their family together. 

At Laura’s apartment, Spencer wonders what is in the box that Victor left him but Laura encourages him to leave it unopened Anna arrives and the lawyer continues with the will reading. Victor leaves an envelope for Spencer to keep for Nikolas and then tells Anna that they both know things never stay secret so he is leaving her the truth. Finally, he tells Laura that after a life spent fighting the Cassadines she has won and he leaves her his congratulations and peace. 

The lawyer leaves and Laura asks Spencer to open the envelope Victor left for Nikolas. She hopes it may give them a clue as to where he is. Inside is a deed in Russian. Anna seems distracted but gives them a basic translation and then leaves quickly. The deed is to a house in Chechnya and Laura thinks that may be where Nikolas is hiding out. 

Ava tries to play innocent while expressing her doubts but Laura is convinced that it’s a clue. Esme comes home from work and Spencer goes to his room. Laura tells her that they may know where Nikolas is. Esme panics thinking he is in Port Charles but calms down when Laura explains. In his room, Spencer opens the box from Victor and sees the doves he had been planning to give Trina and a key underneath. Ava tries to discourage Laura from going to look for Nikolas but she is undeterred and determined to find him.

Sonny is on the phone with Nina in a hallway at the hospital. He is telling her that he thinks she should be allowed to be there with her daughter and Nina tells him that she is going to do whatever she has to do to be with the people she loves. In the lobby, Joss and Michael are encouraging Carly to make a deal with the feds to turn on Sonny and get herself out of trouble but she is unwilling to do that. 

Taggert approaches Trina at the hospital and she thanks him for coming. He promises her that nothing will change for him no matter what the results are, she will always be his daughter. Trina admits that she is worried they will drift apart if Curtis is her Dad and she starts to get closer to him and his family. Taggert assures her that will never happen. 

Carly agrees that Sonny has hurt all of them but wants them all to move on and despite the pain he has caused she doesn’t want someone else paying for her mistakes. Sonny comes over to them and tells them that he has to go but to tell Willow he will see her tomorrow. Michael asks if he is going to see Nina and Sonny says that he is before leaving. Joss points out that he is still putting Nina above his family and tells Carly that if she goes to jail that Sonny will have Donna full-time, with Nina. 

Joss asks why Carly is willing to sacrifice herself for Sonny after everything he has done and Michael tells her to back off because it’s Carly choice. Joss shoots back that he knows all about making choices that hurt innocent people. Carly demands to know what is going on with them but gets interrupted by a phone call from Pilar. She tells them they have to work it out before she gets back or tell her everything. 

After Carly walks away Michael tells Joss not to bring Carly into it. Joss admits that it may be a good thing he hadn’t already turned Sonny in. She suggests that he give Carly the tape to bargain for her and Drew’s freedom. Taggert and Trina are talking about their relationship when Curtis and Portia get there.  Carly comes back over to Michael and Joss with TJ and he has an update on Willow. 

TJ tells them the transplant is over and Willow is doing well. TJ explains that she has to stay in isolation for a few more weeks until her immune system is back up and explains the possible complications that could happen but tells them that he is hopeful about a good outcome for Willow. Trina gets the results and opens the envelope. She looks up sadly and tells them all that Curtis is her biological father. 

Trina makes it clear to Curtis that Taggert is her Dad and their relationship will be different. Curtis promises to follow her lead. Taggert comforts her as she cries about the results. He tells her that it changes nothing between them and then tells her that he has to go. In the elevator Taggert breaks down, crying and punching the wall before sinking to the floor. Michael thanks TJ and they all celebrate Willow being ok. 

After TJ leaves Carly asks Michael and Joss to end their feud because nothing is more important than being there for the family. Joss promises her they will do what’s right for the family and asks her brother if he agrees before he goes to check on Willow. Carly gives Joss a look.

Sonny goes to the MetroCourt to see Nina and she tells him that she wants to start planning their wedding. They get interrupted when Sonny sees Anna walk in and goes over to talk to her. Nina goes over to them and hugs Anna, thanking her for saving Liesl so she could save Willow. Anna asks how Willow is and Sonny updates her. WSB agents step into the restaurant and Anna gets nervous.  

Agent Hursley approaches and tells her that she is under arrest. Anna wants to know what the charges are but he tells her that she will find out when they reach a secure facility. He makes it clear that she can come willingly or will be taken by force. Sonny asks if she wants him to call Diane but Anna declines and agrees to leave with the agents. She is handcuffed and leaves on the elevator with them as Sonny looks on in concern.
