Monday

General Hospital airs an encore episode. Original Airdate: Tuesday, November 26, 2024

Rick (Rick Hearst) reserved the right to recall Kristina (Kate Mansi). Ava (Maura West) asked Rick what he was doing. Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) entered the courtroom. Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) met with Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) at Bobbie’s. Elizabeth told Lucky she was the focus of GH’s inquiry into Sam’s (Kelly Monaco) death. Cody (Josh Kelly) picked up Lulu (Alexa Havins) in her car. Sasha (Sofia Mattsson) came to Maxie’s (Kirsten Storms) house to talk and told her she may be pregnant. Alexis (Nancy Grahan) told Sonny (Maurice Benard) that Rick would recall Kristina when it worked for him. Sonny wondered what Rick was up to. Sasha told Maxie about her one night stand with someone after drinking at The Brown Dog Bar. She told Maxie she brought a pregnancy text but hadn’t taken it yet. Lulu lied to Cody that she had a fight with her now ex-boyfriend who kicked her out of his car and left her on the side of the road. Lulu said she left her coat in his car. Cody told Lulu he was picking up horse feed in Breecher’s Corner. But home with Port Charles. Lulu said she was from Port Charles. Cody gave Lulu a watermelon lollipop to eat. Dante took the stand and gave an account of questioning Ava after Kristina’s accident. Rick questioned Dante about his opinion of Ava as a mother to paint a picture of bias against his client. After the questioning, the prosecution case rested. Ava asked Rick whether he planned to represent her anytime soon. Rick told Ava the prosecution had their turn but now it was his turn. Lucky reminded Elizabeth how good of an investigator he used to be and vowed to find out the truth of how Sam died. Lucky received a phone call from the administrator of Turning Wood who told him his sister Lulu was missing. Sasha told Maxie she wouldn’t mind being a single mother but worried if she had a baby the same thing that happened to Liam could happen to the baby. James came downstairs. He had a cut on his arm from falling because he tried to reach the door without touching the floor, saying the floor was lava. Maxie put a bandaid on her son’s arm. Afterwards, Sasha took the pregnancy test. Lulu told Cody about her protective brother but added she could protect herself. She asked the month and day and commented how she had a boy and girl and couldn’t wait to see her children. Lulu had Cody drop her off somewhere because she didn’t want to give a stranger her home address. Cody gave Lulu twenty dollars and his information in case she wanted to pay him back or needed him. Kristina testified how Ava killed Connie Falconieri and tampered with her brother Morgan’s bipolar medication, which led to his death. But Rick told the court his client was never tried for the crimes she was accused. Lucky and Elizabeth came to Turning Woods and the hospital administrator told them Cyrus (Jeff Kober) was the last person who saw his sister before she disappeared. Lulu arrived at her house and got the key from under the mat. Sasha got the results of her pregnancy test. “I’m pregnant,” she told Maxie. Rick badgered Kristina on the stand and said she was responsible for the baby’s death.

Tuesday

Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) confronted Lois (Rena Sofer) and asked “Is what Gio said true? Do not even think of lying to me. Is Gio my son?” Emma (Braedyn Bruner) found Gio (Giovanni Mazza) at the Quartermaine mansion he was determined to leave and told her not to talk him out of it. She said she wouldn’t but was coming with him. Michael (Rory Gibson) carried Wiley out of the ballroom and told him they were having a sleepover at Grandma Carly’s. Drew (Cameron Mathison) and Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) rushed out of the ballroom. Wiley waved goodbye to his mommy. Jason (Steve Burton) appeared and told Willow “Don’t even think of following them. “ Lulu (Amanda Setton) found Cody (Josh Kelly) waiting for her. Lulu told Cody she wouldn’t hide her involvement. Although she was sorry with the way it came out, at least Dante knew the truth. But Cody was sure they made the right call. Lois assured Brook Lynn they were only trying to look out for her child. Brook Lynn couldn’t breathe. Tracy (Jane Eliott) entered the Quartermaine mansion, interrupting Gio and Brook Lynn, and vented about her arrest and how Jason left her at the police station because he said he had something to do. “What are you doing here? You’re supposed to be at the Nurses Ball” Tracy said. Gio thought about when he found out Brook Lynn and Dante were his parents. Gio commented how Tracy liked to remind him repeatedly that he wasn’t a Quartermaine. Gio said the joke was on her because it turns out he’s family afterall. Willow received a call from the sitter and asked “Where’s Amelia now?” Nina (Cynthia Watros), Carly (Laura Wright) and Sonny (Maurice Benard) came out of the ballroom. Jason told Carly how Michael called him from the plane and asked him to get the kids. Willow cried Jason had no right to take her baby. She and Drew left. Kai (Jens Austin Astrup) praised Trina (Tabayna Ali) and her singing. Lois told Brook Lynn how her grandmother knew how much her cousin Carmella wanted a baby so it was a dream come true for all of them. And she could look her in the eye and tell her with absolute certainty that her baby went to a good home. But then Carmell got sick and passed and it didn’t feel right to tell Gio the truth then. Lois said she was just trying to do the right thing. “For whom?” Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) asked when he entered “For who?” Sonny told Nina that Jason was acting on Michael’s wishes. Nina asked Sonny to talk to Michael to make him see that compromise is what’s best. Sonny asked Nina whether she could make Willow see that Drew’s not a good person. Michael returned to his mother’s house. Sasha (Sofia Mattsson) smiled when he picked up Amelia. Trina told Kai she felt guilty she had an amazing night when Gio was going through the night from hell. Trina told Kai how her mom helped her realize why she felt so scared about him having surgery because she didn’t want to lose someone else she cared about. Tracy told Gio to start at the beginning when he told her that Brook Lynn was his mother and Dante was his father. “It was you all along. You’re my great grandson. Don’t take another step” Tracy said. Brook Lynn tearfully told Dante how she got pregnant that summer at camp and she didn’t tell him because she was scared out of her mind and felt so lost. “I swear that before tonight I didn’t know the child was Gio,” Brook Lynn told Dante. “You don’t get to say you’re my great grandson and walk out the door” Tracy told Gio, showing him a photo of Lila and Edward and telling him everything in this house belonged to him “Don’t push us away.” Cody told Lulu he hoped Brook Lynn and Dante found that kid and he wasn’t all out there alone. Brook Lynn explained she didn’t tell him because she didn’t want to burden him with something that couldn’t be changed. Dante told Brook Lynn they had to put all that aside because they had a son who needed them. Brook Lynn received a text from Tracy telling her Gio was at the house and saying she needed to come quickly. Brook Lynn wouldn’t let Lois come with them (she and Dante). Michael assured Wiley he was home and wasn’t going anywhere. Trina told Kai she was attracted to him from the beginning but felt guilty because of Spencer (Nicholas Chavez). She told him that Josslyn (Eden McCoy) was staying at her mom’s house tonight so they had the place all to themselves. Trina told Kai she wanted to be with him. She led him to the bedroom and they made love. Lulu felt confident it would be good for Gio because Dante was a good father and for all her faults, Brook Lynn was a loving person and she knows she’ll be a good mom. Brook Lynn angrily told Lois she lied to everyone, including her daughter for twenty-two years. She told Brook Lynn to stay away from her and to stay away from her son. Lois broke down in tears after Brook Lynn left with Dante. Trina told Kai he was one of the best things to happen to her. Michael thanked Sasha for going with Jason to pick up Amelia and thanked her for all the sonograms. Michael told Sasha he didn’t want her to start worrying now that he was back in town, assuring he wouldn’t be a part of the baby’s life unless she changed her mind. Drew and Willow came to the PCPD. Willow told Mac (John J. York) her baby’s been kidnapped. But he didn’t need to put out an Amber Alert because they already knew where she was. “Because Jason is the one who kidnapped her,” Drew told Mac. Lulu told Cody that everyone would help Gio come to terms with his new reality. But Cody said Lulu might want to lay low for a while. He decided to walk home. “The night air will do me some good,” Cody said. Ned (Wally Kurth) entered the room and glared at Lois. Gio told Tracy he had a mother he loved more than anything but found out it was a lie. He added the Qs were all a bunch of liars so she had to forgive him if he didn’t jump on the Q bandwagon. Gio was ready to leave with Emma when Dante and Brook Lynn entered.

Wednesday

Maxie (Kirsten Storms) met Nina (Cynthia Watros) at Brown Dog Bar. They talked about Michael (Rory Gibson) taking both Wiley’s kids. Maxie asked Nina whether she plans to tell Willow (Katelyn MacMuellen) she slept with Drew (Cameron Mathison). Learning Michael was back in town and took the kids to his mother’s house, Mac (John J. York) told them since the kids were with their father it wasn’t kidnapping. But Drew said that Jason (Steve Burton) terrorized the babysitter so the police had to get involved. Carly (Laura Wright) and Josslyn (Eden McCoy) welcomed Michael home. Carly commented it was good timing and asked how he knew to come home now. Ned (Wally Kurth) angrily demanded to know why Lois (Rena Sofer) kept him out of it when his daughter needed her father’s support. Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) told Gio (Giovanni Mazza) that Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) didn’t even know about him. “Okay…what’s your excuse?” Gio asked Brook Lynn. Ned asked whether Brook Lynn thought he would be angry with her, disown her or didn’t care. Lois admitted she was afraid the Quartermaines would have swooped in and taken the baby as though it was one of their possessions. Brook Lynn explained to Gio how she was a kid when she got pregnant so she gave him up for adoption because she wasn’t ready to be a mother but assured she never forgot about him. When Gio asked whether she ever came looking for him, Brook Lynn answered she didn’t think it’d be fair to up-end his life. Gio didn’t want to hear what Dante had to say since he’d be lied to as well. He angrily left the Q mansion. Tracy told Brook Lynn to let him go. Nina told Maxie she’d lose Willow if she told her she slept with Drew. “You didn’t get the chance to raise your two girls, I wouldn’t jeopardize that either” Maxie said. Michael told Carly that Diane (Carolyn Henessy) told him about the custody hearing. Mac entered and announced he was there investigating a kidnapping. After Ned was finished reading Lois the riot act, Olivia (Lisa LoCierco) entered and said she had a few things to say to her good friend Lois. Tracy said she’d leave Dante and Brook Lynn alone to talk. But wanting them not to let their pain cloud they met their son and he’s a wonderful boy. Dante assured Brook Lynn he doesn’t hate her but couldn’t understand how she could lie to him for twenty-two years. Gio and Emma went to the bridge. Emma commented she thought Gio couldn’t take a minute to think and catch her breath. Gio said then they’d be awhile. Dante told Brook Lynn he got why scared teenage Brook Lynn didn’t want to tell him. But why hadn’t she said anything in the last ten or so years? Brook Lynn said too much time had passed. Dante asked who else knew. Chase (Josh Swickward) entered and asked Brook Lynn “Is it Gio?” then hugged his wife. Olivia accused Lois of wanting to keep her grandson to herself. “Shame on you!” Olivia said angrily. Lois accused Olivia of living in a glass house that prevented her from seeing things clearly and reminded her she didn’t even tell Sonny (Maurice Benard) about Dante. Nina made a revelation when Maxie mentioned Sasha (Sofia Mattsson) lied about meeting a random guy at a bar the night before Halloween. Before she left, Nina told Maxie she was more help than she knew. Michael thanked Jason for everything. Olivia told Lois she didn’t tell Sonny that Dante was his son because she didn’t want his enemies to weaponize him. Lois said Olivia gave up a lot by keeping Dante. She went from being the life of the party to a tired single mother. Olivia told Lois for the record she didn’t give up anything, adding she didn’t know Lois at all. And if this was the real Lois, she didn’t want to know her. Then, Olivia walked out of the room. When Sonny entered, Lois told him to let her have it. But after they talked, Sonny thanked Lois for allowing him to be a grandfather to Gio when she asked him to pay for his education. Tracy told Dante to direct his anger towards Lois and not Brook Lynn. Michael told Carly she made the right decision by asking Diane to push through with the custody hearing. Mac returned to the PCPD and showed Drew and Willow the emergency court order granting Michael temporary custody until the June 2 hearing. Nina pays the bartender at the Brown Dog Bar $100.00 to identify the man Sasha met the night Congressman Cain got into that brawl. When showed him a picture of Jason on her phone, he told her that wasn’t the guy. Drew told Willow he’ll be outside waiting while she went to talk to Michael. Sonny comforted Lois when she cried that she lost both Gio and Brook Lynn. Gio told Emma he broke his violin because it was the biggest lie. Brook Lynn asked to speak with her dad alone when Ned returned home. The bartender identified Michael as the man Sasha left with when Nina showed him a picture. Willow arrived at Carly’s house and Michael answered the door.

Thursday

Lulu (Alexa Havins) opened the door to Dante (Dominic Zamprogna). Tracy (Jane Eliott) congratulated Olivia (Lisa LoCierco), her great grandson’s grandmother. Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) apologized to Ned (Wally Kurth) for not telling him she was pregnant. Gio (Giovanni Mazza) told Emma (Braedyn Bruner) his violin made him feel close to his mother who as it turns out, wasn’t his mother. Dante accused Lulu of being the one who told Gio he and Brook Lynn were his parents. Sasha (Sofia Mattsson) told Jason (Steve Burton) it’s good Michael (Rory Gibson) was home with his children. Michael told Willow (Katelyn MacMuellen) she couldn’t say goodnight to the kids because they were already asleep. “Michael this isn’t right, you know the kids belong with me” Willow said. “Not anymore,” Michael said. Lulu told Dante she didn’t tell Gio. But she did confront Lois (Rena Sofer) in one of the dressing rooms and Gio must have overheard. She added she did it for Dante and wanted to help. Dante told her she didn’t help but made things worse. Tracy handed Olivia a drink. Olivia berated herself for not feeling Gio was her grandson. Tracy told Olivia that Ned was with Brook Lynn. Ned told Brook Lynn that Lois knows how he felt about this whole thing. Brook Lynn was worried about Gio. Jason told Sasha people still had to believe he was the father of her baby. Sasha commented it was so sad that nothing seemed to matter to Willow but Drew (Cameron Mathison). And she may lose her kids because of it. Michael told Willow every time he spoke with Wiley, he asked two questions: When was he coming home and when were they going home. This made him realize Willow was putting her own needs ahead of their kids. But that ended now. Michael told Willow at the custody hearing next week, he’d be seeking full custody. But she could still have a relationship with her children. Cody (Josh Kelly) told Sasha he came to check on Dante to see if he was already. Sasha asked why Dante wouldn’t be alright. “You didn’t hear what happened at the Nurses Ball?” Cody asked Sasha. Gio told Emma she didn’t need to stay. Dante told Lulu she should have minded her own business, adding he got the feeling she wanted to prove to everyone Brook Lynn was as bad as she always said she was. Michael told Willow it was time she chose who she loved more: Drew…or her kids. Michael closed the front door, leaving Willow crying outside. Willow got in Drew’s car. “How did it go?” Drew asked. “Take me home…I just need to get out of here” Willow answered. Michael thanked Jason again for all he’s done. He commented it felt wrong sitting on the sidelines and not being in his and Sasha’s child’s life. Cody told Sasha he wished he’d been a better friend to her, Lulu and Dante. Brook Lynn cried, what if her son never gave her a chance to love him? “Who wouldn’t want to be loved by you?” Ned asked, comforting his daughter. Tracy realized she now had blood ties to Sonny Corninthos (Maurice Benard) which made her more committed to run him out of town before he ruined Gio’s life. Jason reminded Michael that Sasha’s been through a lot and valued her independence. Jason asked Michael whether there was room for compromise. Willow told Drew that Michael made it clear she’d never see her kids unless she broke things off with him. “Obviously that’s not going to happen,” Drew said. “I don’t think I have a choice,” Willow said. Gio apologized for snapping at Emma. He admitted he believed Dante was telling the truth when he said he didn’t know he had a son. Gio told Emma he always wanted to know what his father thought of him and now he knew his father hated him. Dante was annoyed Lulu told Carly (Laura Wright) and Cody he had a son. He added he thought Lulu did this to get in his good graces. Lulu realized Dante thought she did this to win him back. Michael told Jason he told Willow there wouldn’t be a compromise unless Willow left Drew, adding she continued to put her own needs ahead of their kids. Drew told Willow that Michael was using Wiley and Amelia as leverage to get his revenge. Willow took off her wedding and engagement ring, commenting she planned to take them off after her divorce for was final. But after tonight, it was obvious. Willow said she would return them tomorrow. “This one stays with us,” Drew said, looking at Lila’s engagement ring. Olivia told Brook Lynn she more than anyone understood what she was going through and was there for her if she needed anything. Brook Lynn said she needed a hug. Olivia hugged Brook Lynn. Tracy admitted to Ned that Brook Lynn told her she had a baby but swore her to secrecy. Tracy added she’d begun the search for her great grandson…but someone beat her to it and she had a pretty good idea who it was. Lulu told Dante she never wanted him back. Cody felt for Gio and told Sasha the kid reminded him so much of himself tonight when he found out about his parents. “It didn’t have to be this way,” Cody said. Michael told Jason he didn’t like the idea of taking Wiley and Amelia away from their mother because they loved her. Jason told Michael he had his full support. Drew told Willow he deserved to have the ring as much as Michael and maybe they could give it to Amelia one day. “So we dig up whatever he’s hiding and we blew him out of the water” Drew told Willow before driving home. Michael told a sleeping Wiley that he promised he’d never leave home or his sister again. Sasha told Cody sometimes parents kept secrets to protect their children and that’s a decision that should be left alone. Ned told Tracy that Brook Lynn got her hoodzpah from her. Olivia assured Brook Lynn once they found Gio, they’d help him understand. Emma asked Gio to come back with her to her grandma’s, adding where he went, she went. Gio told Emma he wanted to go away and the further the better. Lulu and Dante agreed to be co-parents to Rocco (Finn Carter) and no longer be friends. Dante told Lulu he would come back in the morning and be the one to tell Rocco, not her. He added that she could be there if she wanted. Before leaving her house, Dante told Lulu to stay away from him and to stay away from Rocco.

Friday

Laura (Genie Francis) was surprised to see Rick (Rick Hearst) when she came over to see Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst). Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) and Kristina (Kate Mansi) met with Alexis (Nancy Grahan) at Miller & Davis. After telling them the meeting was covered by attorney client privilege, Alexis asked Kristina to tell her what happened the night she tried to kill Ava (Maura West). Carly (Laura Wright) came to Aurora to see Curtis (Donnell Turner). “Michael could really use your help” Carly told Curtis. Sasha (Sofia Mattsson) let Michael feel the baby kick. Nina (Cynthia Wator) told Ava (Maura West) she just got information that could assure her daughter getting custody of her children but didn’t want to use it. Gio (Giovanni Mazza) told Emma (Braedyn Bruner) she was the only person he trusted. “How could Gio possibly be okay?!” Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) angrily asked Lois (Rena Sofer). Laura told Elizabeth that Rick probably waits until Lucky leaves to stop by. Kristina told Alexis why she went to see Ava the day of Rick and Kristina’s accident. Carly asked Curtis to use Aurora Media to sway public opinion against Drew (Cameron Mathison). Nina told Ava how Sasha and Michael slept together but didn’t want to use the information to betray Sasha like that. Sasha told Michael that Rick subpoenaed her to testify. Gio told Emma he didn’t want to talk with people who were supposedly his family. “I have no interest in taking care of you and your feelings after you completely betrayed my trust” Brook Lynn told Lois. Lois told Brook Lynn she did what she asked and found her baby a good home. Brook Lynn said Lois offered her a lifeline built on secrets. “Carly, I wanna help Michael but I can’t,” Curtis said. Sasha told Michael during her disposition yesterday Rick’s questions were straight forward. Sasha couldn’t help but wonder if she had told Michael when she saw Drew and Willow kiss they might have been able to work it out and would still be married. “If Willow gets full custody of her children, she is never ever going to leave Drew” Nina told Ava. Michael told Sasha that as much as he loved Willow (Katelyn MacMuellen) he didn’t think he saw her as clearly. Sasha told Michael that Willow deserved a sleaze like Drew. Michael commented that Willow could have Drew, but she wouldn’t take his kids. Kristina told Alexis she did tell Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) she saw Rick’s crashed car. Gio believed Sonny (Maurice Benard) knew the truth. Emma reminded Gio that Carmella was his mother in the way it mattered and loved him. “We gave Gio a good home. We gave you your freedom…and that was the right thing to do” Lois told Brook Lynn. Alexis told Lucky and Kristina they both needed to stay as far away from this. After Lucky left, Kristina asked Alexis whether there was any way out of this. Elizabeth asked Laura whether she might be naive thinking she and Lucky could make it work. Portia (Brooke Kerr) came to Aurora to see her husband. She told Curtis how she failed to stop Drew. Nina told Ava it may be better off in the long run if Willow didn’t get full custody. Laura told Elizabeth it’s up to her and Lucky to find out what’s right for them. Ava told Nina she had to choose the best consequences she could live with. Michael told Wiley that he and Amelia could go swimming but Mommy couldn’t come today. Alexis told Kristina maybe she could get Ava and Rick to turn on each other. Portia told Curtis about her and Nina hiring a sex worker to drug Drew but couldn’t figure out how Tracy (Jane Eliott) got arrested for it. Curtis told Portia that Drew set Tracy up. Gio told Emma that Carmella was definitely his mom…Brook Lynn was the woman who gave him away. Brook Lynn told Lois she took away everything Gio believed about family. Portia told Curtis that the ketamine traces back to Brad (Parry Shen) and who would believe an ex-con over her? Curtis told Portia that needed to do something Drew couldn’t. “We need to find Jucinda” Curtis said. Gio told Emma she needed to go back to Port Charles. Gloria (Ellen Travolta) entered and told Brook Lynn if she needed to have it out with someone, have it out with her. Laura came to see Alexis and told her she was looking over Ace’s trust and discovered a large amount of money was missing. Lucky told Elizabeth he was speaking with a lawyer because there was something about the accident he wasn’t telling her. Rick came to Crimson and interrupted Ava and Nina. After Ava left, Rick asked Nina whether there was anything else to add to her upcoming testimony.
