Carly Updates Valentin
In today’s November 12 episode recap of General Hospital, “Hey, got your message, what’s wrong?” Valentin asks as he meets with Carly. She tells him that things with Joss and Sonny have gotten worse. Her daughter confronted Sonny, and Avery had a front-row seat to the whole thing. Carly admits she hasn’t talked to Joss yet—she doesn’t even know what to say to her.
Carly gets emotional as she admits that she has been making excuses for Sonny for years, and she thinks it’s time to stop. Valentin feels she’s being too hard on herself. He insists she’s doing the right thing for her kids, noting they deserve to be safe and protected for as long as possible, especially Donna.
She notes that Joss broke the illusion for Sonny’s children—and that is one thing he won’t forgive.
Carly is worried about Sonny’s wrath. “I already lost one kid because of another man. I won’t lose another,” she states.
Lucas Reassures Joss
Over on the pier, Lucas meets with Joss. Joss explains that she thought she knew what she was doing. However, she’s not so sure anymore. When Lucas wonders what she means, Joss notes she bought these piers to take them away from Sonny.
She just wanted him gone before anyone else got hurt. Joss even tells Lucas that Sonny had a bug planted in Hudson’s briefcase. She adds that she went to Sonny’s and confronted him. “And it couldn’t have gone any worse,” she admits.
Considering how things turned out, Lucas tells Joss that he thinks she did the right thing.
He thinks one day Avery is going to appreciate that Joss stayed true to herself and was completely honest.
Justine Comes Clean to Anna
Meanwhile, Anna and Justine meet up. Anna opens up about her treatment. There is still a way to go, but she is getting there. Justine wonders if she will return to the PCPD soon.
Anna notes that she doesn’t know when, and besides, she is glad to be away. Some of the cases are a conflict of interest for her, with Sonny Corinthos at the top of that list.
Justine adds that she cannot trust her own judgment when it comes to him. Anna understands, having been in that exact same place before.
Just then, Justine makes a confession. “Sonny and I had an affair,” she reveals. Justine says she made such a mess of things. While she walked in with her eyes wide open, Sonny manipulated her. “I’m not so sure about that,” Anna says, noting she doesn’t think it was a scam on Sonny’s part.
Anna notes that she thinks there is room that Sonny was framed. She at least thinks it’s possible and advises Justine to do the same.
However, Justine says she trusted Sonny once and cannot do that again. Anna then adds that she thinks Sonny’s feelings for Justine are real. Still, Justine notes that makes it much worse.
Sonny and Ric Plan
Sonny tells Ric about what happened with Joss. Sonny notes that Joss can come after him or his business, but nobody comes after his family.
After hearing what went down, Ric is sorry all of this happened. Sonny thought Joss would have smoothed things out once Avery was in the room, yet she doubled down instead—and that he cannot stand.
Sonny points out that Joss has disrespected him for the last time. He feels he has given her too much leeway. She apparently thinks she can do and say whatever she wants, and that he will do nothing to correct her. “It’s time to correct that mistake,” Sonny says.
Right then, Ric asks what his brother is planning to do.
Sonny notes that since Joss says she isn’t family anymore, he plans to treat her accordingly. He reveals that he is going to take away her support system. He plans to approach Hudson again, but this time, not playing nice.
Avery Opens up to Ava
Elsewhere, Ava and Avery have lunch. Avery tells her mother she changed her mind about the girls’ trip and doesn’t want to go. She points out that she cannot leave her dad right now. Joss wants her to hate her dad, but instead, Avery hates Joss.
That’s when Avery tells her mom what happened between Joss and Sonny. Ava wishes Avery hadn’t eavesdropped.
Drew Hires Monet
In Drew’s office, he is listening to the recording of Ava on his phone when Monet shows up. She tells him that his friend Kevin came through for them.
Drew notes how impressed he’s been with how she handled all aspects of Curtis’ case—so much so that he would like to hire her himself.
After agreeing to represent him, Monet asks what kind of case she is looking at. Drew tells her it’s about the death of a WSB agent. He informs her that Brennan had some evidence against him, so he used Ava to keep Brennan busy while he searched his room.
Monet senses he is holding back and warns she will need the whole truth, or else she can’t do her job. Drew admits that Ava slipped a sleeping pill in Brennan’s drink—and he was the one who gave it to her.
Drew tells her how they buried Brennan at the nature preserve after finding his body in the Metro Court pool. He even goes as far as to play the recording he has on Ava for Monet.
After, Drew asks for advice. Monet tells him that the best thing he can do is turn himself in before Ava finds out. That way, they could probably cut a deal. However, she warns that prison time is unavoidable.
Drew refuses to turn himself in. He can’t see himself going back to prison. Monet notes that she may have another plan.
Alexis Makes a Bold Move
At the PCPD, Molly updates Dante that she found a witness who can help with the case. Dante wonders if they are credible. Molly notes that they are, though she needs him to conduct the interview.
Meanwhile, Alexis arrives and tells Joe she is there to give a statement regarding Agent Brennan’s murder. Later, Dante meets with Alexis in the interrogation room and sets up his recorder as she begins her statement. She recalls witnessing a hostile confrontation between Brennan and Drew—one where Brennan threatened Drew with leverage, causing Drew to immediately back off.
Dante stops the recording and asks Alexis if, off the record, she thinks Drew killed Brennan. She does. Dante then wonders if that’s just because she hates Drew.
While she does hate him, this isn’t necessarily about that. Dante warns her that this isn’t official yet, so she can still reconsider—because going on the record could really blow things up.
At the same time, Molly and Joe talk about the case. She hopes they can turn up some of Brennan’s DNA in Drew’s car—otherwise, they won’t have a very strong case.
