Jude Pleads with Britt
In today’s November 9 episode recap of General Hospital, Willow fills Britt in on all the drama surrounding Ric and Liz’s date. Apparently, Lulu crashed the night to beg Liz to talk to Willow about dropping the lawsuit, and Britt can’t help but be impressed. Liz is definitely no pushover, so the fact that she even tried speaks volumes about how much she cares about Willow.
Then Britt drops a curveball of her own: “I think you should drop the suit.”
Willow is completely thrown off. She points out that Britt was literally walking on air just the other day, hyping her up to go through with the libel suit in the first place. Britt admits she was feeling way too optimistic back then—all thanks to a certain “Mr. No-Name” she’d just met.
Just as Britt is venting about her disappointment with Jude, he walks in right on cue! “I thought I might give you the opportunity to dismiss me again,” Jude says with a smirk as he greets her. “Any interest?” he asks.
Britt lays it on the line. She explains that finding out he’s Joss’s cousin kind of killed the spark for her. But Jude begs her for just one shot to tell his side of the story. If she still wants nothing to do with him after that, he promises to respectfully vanish into thin air.
Jude Meets Chase
Willow interrupts and asks if he’s the Jude Jacks she’s been hearing about. Right there, he introduces himself as Phoebe’s biological father!
When Britt presses him on how that’s even possible, Jude explains that he wanted a baby and used IVF. The birth mother disappeared, so he tracked her all the way to Port Charles—only to discover Chase and Brook Lynn had adopted his child. He insists the adoption isn’t legal because he never signed away his parental rights, and he has no intention of walking away from his daughter.
With that, Jude decides to take his leave. But right before he can walk out, Chase steps into the room.
“So you’re Jude Jacks,” Chase says as he steps up to introduce himself as Phoebe’s father.
The two men trade heated barbs, and Jude pushes Chase’s buttons until Chase completely loses his cool. Just as Chase is about to physically attack Jude, Willow steps in right in the nick of time and pulls him back.
Just then, Britt suggests that she and Jude could go have drinks.
Tristan Names Drew and Ava
Over at the PCPD, Dante invites Tristan to take a seat and lay out whatever information he’s got. At the exact same time, Serena arrives at the station demanding to speak with the commissioner. The officer tells her to take a beat since Dante is tied up, but when Joe walks in, Serena approaches him instead.
She claims the cops might have arrested the wrong people. Serena swears that on the night Brennan died, she saw Valentin and Carly together in the elevator having a moment around 9:00 PM.
Meanwhile, Tristan spills his story to Dante: on the night of the murder, he saw two people acting extremely suspicious, and those two people were Ava and Drew!
Valentin and Carly Are Being Released
Inside the interrogation room, Valentin steps in, and Molly desperately tries to get him to convince Carly not to take the fall with him. Molly lays out the evidence and warns that Carly is facing serious charges. Valentin suggests Carly take whatever deal Molly is putting on the table, but Carly refuses to budge. She insists neither of them killed Brennan, warning the cops to actually do their jobs.
“Who did?” Molly asks, demanding a name.
Carly finally agrees to give them one: “Drew Cain.”
Before things go any further, Dante interrupts and pulls Molly out into the hall to listen to Tristan’s statement. Left alone, Carly assures Valentin that she’s standing by his side and won’t turn on him. Valentin wonders how she can be so sure he wouldn’t throw her under the bus to save himself.
“For all you know, I’ve already done that,” he cautions.
Outside, Tristan finishes telling the PCPD team what he witnessed: he saw Ava and Drew pushing a heavy laundry cart. It looked like they were hauling something out of the cars and dumping it into an SUV. He couldn’t see exactly what it was, but whatever they were moving was heavy.
Molly wonders why he is only coming forward now, and Tristan explains he simply didn’t put two and two together until just now. After Tristan leaves, Dante makes it clear: they need to immediately pivot their investigation to Ava and Drew—without giving either of them a heads-up that the heat is on.
Later, Dante and crew march back into the interrogation room to tell Carly and Valentin that they are free to go.
Sonny and Joss Clash
Over at Sonny’s place, he’s teaching Avery some Spanish when the doorbell rings. It’s Josslyn. Avery is thrilled to see her, but Joss makes it clear she’s there on official business with Sonny and needs a private word. Avery begs her not to leave without saying goodbye, and Joss promises she won’t.
“Adios,” Joss says gently as Avery steps out.
The moment they’re alone, Joss slams down the listening device she found in Hudson’s briefcase. “You’re spying on me?” she demands. She lets Sonny know she sees right through his dirty tactics, but she isn’t backing down from the fight.
As the argument gets heated, Avery secretly eavesdrops from nearby. Joss tells Sonny she’d rather sell the piers to total strangers before she ever sells them to him.
“You’d be making a big mistake,” Sonny warns.
Joss brings up what happened to Curtis and Sidwell, but Sonny insists he had nothing to do with any of it. He also swears that he would never hurt her. Joss begs him not to do her any favors—and that’s when Avery walks back out into the room. Unable to take it anymore, an emotional Avery snaps.
“Shut up, Josslyn! Just shut up! Why are you lying about my dad?“
Avery is so angry at Joss even though she tries to explain her side of it. Seeing how upset his daughter is, Sonny asks Joss to leave.
Elsewhere in town, Jason and Alexis take a breath to discuss what went down with Danny. Alexis notes that she did everything she could to rein Danny in while Jason was away, and Jason lets her know he completely understands.
