General Hospital: Weekly Recap – Week of 1/20-1/24

At GH, Felix asked Sabrina to stop giving him the silent treatment. He apologized for revealing to Patrick that she was pregnant. As he reiterated that it was Patrick’s baby, Patrick and Robin walked up but didn’t overhear. Patrick thought that Robin would be offered the Chief of Staff position. As they left, Felix curiously demanded answers about why Sabrina hadn't told Patrick that he was her baby's father. Sabrina shot back that it was her decision and asked Felix to go along with her lies. Felix promised that nobody would hear from him that Patrick was really the father of Sabrina’s baby. In the hallway, Britt ran into Silas, and they spoke of the Chief of Staff position. Meanwhile, in the meeting room, Patrick told Robin that he was sorry about the baby drama. Robin replied that she hoped that Felix would stop bugging Patrick now. Silas and Britt arrived and pondered how someone in the room would soon be named Chief of Staff. Then, Monica entered. The 'board member guy', as Silas put it, entered. He said that he would like to have Monica back, but announced that the final choice for the position was... Britt assumed it was her, but then Liesl Obrecht entered and announces that it was her.

Lucas ran into Sam outside Kelly’s. Julian approached and revealed that he needed to speak to his daughter, referring to Sam. Lucas announced that he was Julian’s son. An overwhelmed Julian expressed his desire to get to know Lucas, but Lucas rejected Julian’s offer for a hug and left. Sam then told Julian that she thought he was scum and didn’t want to have anything to do with him for refusing to help Danny.

Silas knocked on the door to Michael’s apartment. He mentioned that he wanted to talk about his wife. Kiki then started to congratulate him on marrying Sam, but he explained that he was already married to someone else. Silas then told Kiki how his wife had been in a coma for over 20 years. Then, he got beeped to go to GH and asked her if they could talk later. She said that they could and thanked him for coming over. After he left, Franco showed up and begged Kiki to hide him. Then, Michael arrived as Franco quickly hid in the next room. After a slight hesitation, Kiki opened the door for Michael. Michael told Kiki about how the knife found on the scene with his mom’s blood has Franco’s prints. Michael then fumed about how his mom convinced herself that she would be safe with Franco, then apologized to Kiki. She then said that there was something that she needed to tell him.

At the Quartermaine’s, Tracy complain to Monica that she was reduced to reading the news online, then she suggested that they go to the boathouse to deal with raccoon. Monica explained that she expected to soon be reinstated as Chief of Staff and had be going. Tracy then wondered aloud what was taking Luke so long at the boathouse and said that she had to go down there.

At the boathouse, Luke found Carly tied up. He rushed to undo her gag and Carly said that it wasn’t Franco who did this to her…it was Heather Webber. Then, Heather returned and pulled a gun on both of them. Luke told Heather that it was a bad habit she had, tying people up in abandoned shacks. When Luke grabbed a club, Heather told him that if she had to shoot him, she would. He wrangled the gun out of her hands with the club, but then two men showed up and knocked Luke out. Carly screamed for Luke to wake up and asked a now triumphant Heather who these men were. Later, Tracy banged on the door to the boathouse, then she entered and found it wrecked and empty.

At the PCPD, Anna told Michael that she was thankful to him for applying the necessary pressure to get the warrant for Franco’s arrest issued, and that it shouldn’t take long. Scott then spoke in frustration about how Anna shouldn’t jump to conclusions but reluctantly told Anna to go arrest his son, Franco. Later, Anna returned to the station without Franco and received a phone call.

At Sonny’s house, Alexis announced that she was happy to do anything for him regarding his legitimate business but wanted nothing to do with other goings-on. Sonny figured out that Julian was asking her to take sides. Alexis then said that out of all three completely unsuitable men that got her pregnant, Sonny wasn’t the worst. She then said that she didn’t want to have this inappropriate conversation again and started to exit when Sonny told her that he was going to take care of Julian and then she left.

At the PCPD, Anna hung up from a distressing phone call. She told Dante that it wasn’t about Franco when he asked, and asks him to keep working on the case because she had a feeling Franco hadn’t left town yet.

At their apartment, Michael told Kiki about the bloody knife with Franco’s prints on it. He wanted to change, but Kiki stopped him when he moved to go to the bedroom. She urged him to go take a hot shower instead while she got his shirt. They kissed and he hit the bathroom. Then, Franco emerged and told Kiki that someone was setting him up, but she threw him out anyway, but before he could leave Dante knocked on the door and Kiki pushed Franco back in the bedroom. Then, Michael came out of the shower and asked Dante if there were any leads. Dante then asked Kiki if Franco had reached out to her.

At Kelly’s, Emma told Mac and Robert that both Cameron and Spencer want to be her boyfriend. Robert demanded that she stay away from both until she was 30. Mac agreed she was a little young, but wondered who she would choose if she had to. Robert didn’t think she had to decide right now. Later, Mac got a call from Nikolas about bringing Emma over for a playdate. Then, Anna arrived and pulled Robert aside while Mac and Emma left for Wyndemere. Once they were alone, Anna told Robert that the WSB had secured Obrecht’s release. Robert thought she must have had valuable info they wanted and Anna wondered if it was possible that Obrecht knew what they did to Faison. Robert then told Anna that her that Emma was in a love triangle.

Lulu went to Nikolas at Wyndemere and told him she left Dante after Britt told them they couldn’t have a baby. He reminded her this wasn’t Dante’s fault. Then, Cameron and Spencer rushed in begging for Emma to come over. Nikolas handed Lulu the baby so he could see if Emma was available. Later, Mac brought Emma by and she ran off with Spencer. Lulu asked Mac about Carly and he told her with Dante on the case they’d find her. He added that he hoped that when Maxie finished her spiritual journey she and Lulu would find their way back to each other.

Meanwhile, Spencer and Emma joined Cameron, who had made another origami animal for her. Spencer mocked his efforts, but Cameron didn’t think Emma would be impressed by his fancy things. Then, all three of them bundled up to go outside – Spencer said he had the perfect place for them to settle who would be Emma’s boyfriend. Meanwhile, Heather moved Carly to the stables on the Wyndemere property. Carly began screaming and Heather joined in to prove no one could hear her. "Don’t make me get the crop," Heather threatened. Carly replied that she was sure Luke would come find her, but Heather told her he that he was in no condition to help. Heather then tried to gag Carly to shut her up and Carly bit her before they started brawling. Then, Spencer, Cameron and Emma arrived outside, Carly heard them and started screaming for help.

At GH, Elizabeth overheard Sabrina beg Felix to keep her secret about the baby. They tried to play like they were gossiping about the announcement but Elizabeth called them on it. Elizabeth then said that she couldn’t imagine why Sabrina would do this. Sabrina begged Elizabeth not to tell, but Elizabeth couldn’t make that promise and couldn’t believe Sabrina would even ask.

Meanwhile, in the board room it was revealed that Dr. Obrecht was the new Chief of Staff. Robin couldn’t believe they chose a criminal and attacked Obrecht, insistent that Dr. Steve Hardy would be rolling in his grave. "Spinning is more like it," Monica chimed in. Obrecht then handed over her WSB release papers and the head of the board confirmed that all the charges against her had been dropped. Then, Patrick threatened to quit, but Obrecht had already checked things out and they were all under contract. Robin said that she wasn’t and walked out. Obrecht did admit that she wasn’t squeaky clean, but who among them was? Obrecht then pulled Britt aside and promised not to tell anyone about Ben, she asked only that Britt give her a chance to be her mother. Britt coldly walked away. Obrecht then asked Monica to come back as head of cardiology and she replied that she’d think about it. Obrecht then told the head of the board she was sure the staff would come around. “After all, they would have no more choice to go along with my plans for General Hospital.” Meanwhile, Patrick caught up with Robin and promised that they would deal with this as a family.

Britt returned to Wyndemere and told Lulu and Nikolas that she wasn’t the new Chief Of Staff at GH.

In Michael’s apartment, Dante asked Kiki if Franco had reached out to her. Her phone beeped before she could answer and she told him that Franco wanted her to meet outside Kelly’s in 10 minutes. Dante texted back as Kiki that she was on her way and pocketed Kiki’s phone. Kiki kissed Michael before he left with Dante and then let Franco out. She was livid with him but he insisted he was being set up. She believed him but she said that she couldn’t keep lying to Michael. He considered Ava as being the one who was framing him, but Kiki thought his mother, Heather Webber, was a more likely suspect. Franco then told Kiki that he was positive that it wasn’t Heather.

At Wyndemere, Carly heard the kids outside the stables and screamed for help. Spencer promised Emma he’d protect her and went in. Emma and Cameron followed and found Spencer with Heather cornered against the wall. Heather told them that she was the one yelling because she saw a Chupacabra, an animal that drained the blood of horses and little kids, so they better run. Spencer didn’t believe her and then she said she was the new stable girl. She and Emma then rejoiced in girl power. The boys made a move to where Carly was hidden so they can find another weapon for their duel over Emma but Heather lept up, asking Emma if she was okay letting the boys decide her fate. Then, Carly made a big noise and Heather told them it was the Chupacabra so they better run. She begged the kids not to tell Nikolas anything and they agreed. After they left, Heather injected Carly with a syringe.

Inside Wyndemere, Britt told Lulu and Nikolas that Obrecht was named the new Chief of Staff with the full backing of the Chairman of the Board. Nikolas was floored and after a few calls learned the chairman had made a unilateral decision. Britt then Lulu if she could have Dante look into it and Lulu told her that they weren’t together after finding out they couldn’t have a baby. Britt said that she felt responsible and Lulu assured Britt that it wasn’t her fault. Britt urged Lulu to go back to Dante. After Lulu left, Nikolas thanked Britt for encouraging Lulu and then they wondered where the kids were.

Obrecht called someone from the hospital to thank them for their help securing her position, said that her first order of business was to whip the lazy staff into shape, that she valued this opportunity almost as much as what she gave in exchange for it, was glad to help and looked forward to the fallout.

Meanwhile, Sabrina begged Elizabeth to keep her secret just as Patrick and Robin walked up. Then, Elizabeth told Patrick there was something he needed to know, but Robin interrupted saying that they already knew and Sabrina stumbled over an explanation. Robin then said she was referring to Obrecht being named the new Chief of Staff. Elizabeth was shocked by the news and Patrick wondered what she was going to tell them, but Anna called and Robin and Patrick rushed off to meet her. Once they were gone, Sabrina asked Elizabeth what it would take to keep her secret. Felix started bashing Obrecht, who walked up behind him. She then lined everyone up and prepared them all to stay late tonight. Elizabeth said that she had to leave to get her son and Obrecht docked her pay.

Outside Kelly’s, Dante and Michael waited but Franco didn’t show. Michael wondered if Franco’s games had started. Dante told Michael not to get all emotional and give Franco what he wanted. Dante considered that Kiki and Franco were working together but Michael refused to believe it.

At the PCPD, Robin told Anna that she knew about Obrecht’s release. Anna thought justice would be served and was devastated. It hurt Robin to hear Anna blame herself, but Anna wished she had taken Obrecht down when she had the chance. Patrick then told Anna that Obrecht was now GH’s Chief of Staff. Anna was worried about Robin and didn’t understand why she was put in charge. Patrick hoped Anna could figure it out. Anna was sure that Obrecht had some important information she exchanged with the WSB for her release.

Elizabeth arrived at Wyndemere to pick up Cameron. She bickered with Britt about Obrecht’s appearance at GH before Nikolas broke it up. He then left to find the kids who came running in from the stables. They kept quiet about Heather and Nikolas warned them they needed to tell him whenever they went to the stables.

Back at Michael’s apartment, Kiki told Franco to leave before Michael returned but it was too late. She snuck Franco out the window before Michael came in. He then asked Kiki if she would tell him if Franco showed up.

Lulu ran into Dante at Kelly’s and they chatted awkwardly about Carly. Dante then asked her if she was ever coming home. They were interrupted by a police officer and promised to catch up later. Lulu was near tears after he was gone.

At the PCPD, Anna asked Nathan for an update on Silas’ investigation and told him that they needed iron-clad proof in order to satisfy the DA. She added that she had limited resources and needed him to work on current cases. Nathan begged for a bit more time and Anna gave him one more week to get fresh evidence against Silas. After that, it was over.

Sam and Silas discussed the case at Kelly's. She wanted to get Nathan off their back and on to Ava. She then told Silas that the pharmacist who filled the prescription agreed to meet with her, Silas wanted to stay but had to leave for work. Then, Bobbie arrived and was shocked to learn from Sam that Lucas met Julian. Then, Lucas showed up and apologized for worrying Bobbie by not coming home the previous night. He added that he wasn’t angry, just confused about why she didn’t tell him about Julian. She replied that she wanted to protect him because Julian was dangerous. Sam then told Lucas that Julian would only disappoint him. Lucas appreciated the warning but getting to know Julian was his choice. He left and Sam gave Bobbie a big hug and told her that it would be okay. Later, the pharmacist arrived and Sam showed him a picture of Ava.

Britt woke up in Nikolas’ bed, wishing she could go back to sleep. She refused to work for her mother and considered breaking her contract, but Nikolas said that he would hate her mother to take her job and she agreed to go in. But first, they made love.

Obrecht angrily greeted Brad at GH and hands over her analysis of the lab, particularly the security holes. He replied that she didn’t mind the security holes “when you took Lulu and Dante’s embryos and implanted them in your daughter.” She threatened him to never bring that up again and take it to his grave, then Felix showed up and demanded that she leave Brad alone. She left and Felix promised to stop casting stones if Brad could accept his apology. Felix then told Brad that he was ready to be something more than friends and asked Brad out on a date. Brad gleefully said yes.

Nathan stopped Silas on the elevator and demanded that he admit he gave Nina the overdose. Silas replied that he may have cheated on Nina, but he loved her and told Nathan to look into Ava as the culprit. Then, the doors opened and Obrecht was livid, demanding an explanation. Nathan told her all about his investigation, and Obrecht seemed to have new admiration for Silas once she heard he was accused of attempted murder. She then told him that they share a passion and hoped they continue to work together.

Later, Brad made a reservation at The Metro Court restaurant for him and Felix, but then Lucas arrived and planted a big kiss on Brad. They had slept together the night before!

In her room, Ava shot Morgan a text to let him know she missed him. Julian snatched her phone away and demanded that she stop. He then added that he was ready to do something about the fact Morgan hadn’t given them anything to use against Sonny. She called him on his bad mood and he admitted that Lucas didn’t want any more to do with him than Sam did. Julian then texted Morgan to have him meet Ava.

By the pier, Morgan texted Ava back that he missed her too. Sonny asked what he was doing and he pretended he was texting Michael. Sonny then told Morgan that tonight was the night they struck back at the Jeromes. He told him that Duke had arranged to use Carlos as bait to draw out Julian before they finished him off. Morgan wanted to help but Sonny wanted him to get his brothers together so they could figure out what to tell Josslyn about Carly’s disappearance. Then, Morgan got Julian’s text to meet and agreed to do what Sonny said. Morgan left and Anna arrived, shocked to see Duke. He told her that he just got back from an interview with Nikolas and ran into Sonny. He offered to walk her back but she said she needed to stay and ask Sonny some questions. Once Duke left, Anna asked Sonny about the warehouse shooting again, but he thought she should be looking for Carly instead. She promised there would more questions later.

Morgan arrived at Ava’s and they kissed. Julian emerged and demanded info about Sonny’s operation. Morgan then told him that Duke was working for Sonny and their plan was to take Julian down that night. Julian then told Morgan that he would be the last person Duke ever saw. Later, Morgan was upset about what he had done.

Nikolas arrived at the PCPD to discuss Obrecht and Anna thanked him for meeting with Duke. He corrected her that he didn’t see Duke that day.

Julian pulled a gun on Duke at the pier.

Mac joined Felicia at The Floating Rib and suggested a double date with Kevin and Lucy now that they were back on track. She thought Kevin and Lucy might need a little more work. He then badgered her about what she knew and she told him that Lucy slept with Scott. She begged him to keep out of it and promised that Lucy said she was done with Scott.

Lucy visited Scott in his hotel room, demanding to know why he sacrificed Franco to boost his own career. She then said that maybe he wasn’t the man she thought he was. He replied that Anna forced his hand and that he believed there were other suspects, like Ava. He then said that he wished there was more to do for Franco, but he was on his own and so was he. Lucy got close and told Scott he wasn’t alone. She then admitted that she couldn’t stop thinking about him. He urged her not to fight it and they had sex. Later, she couldn’t believe she did it again. She was upset that she was reverting back to the old Lucy, but she loved Kevin and didn’t know what she was going to do. Then, Mac started pounding on the door and demanded to talk to Scott. Lucy hid and Scott opened the door. Mac then punched Scott in the face and warned him to stay away from Lucy.

Lucas found Brad at GH and laid a big kiss on him. Brad was a bit aloof, and Lucas apologized for coming on too strong. He said that he really felt a connection with Brad and they flashed back to the night before at The Floating Rib. Brad then told him his biological dad was an Asian gangster and Lucas said that he knew exactly what he was going through. Lucas was amazed at how much they had in common.

Meanwhile, Felix wouldn’t let anything stop his bad mood in anticipation of his date with Brad. Silas asked him to dial it down a notch. Felix then suggested that Silas’ bad mood had something to do with the board choosing a criminal over him. Later, Felix walked in on Brad and Lucas talking to confirm their date. He left quickly and Lucas realized he was the guy Brad had been pining over. Lucas was hoping for a repeat tonight but could see Brad has other plans. Brad told Lucas that he didn’t mean for this to happen, but Lucas said that he was still confident he still had a shot.

Sam met with the pharmacist at Kelly’s and showed him a picture of Ava. When Nathan arrived she lead him over to the table and introduced him to the pharmacist as well. He told Nathan and Sam that he filled many prescriptions for Silas, that he recognized Ava from the hospital, but he that he never filled a prescription for her…just for Silas. Then, Silas arrived. He learned that the pharmacist recognized him as the one who filled the liquid prescription and remembered him very clearly, especially after he heard what had happened to Nina. Silas thought this was some kind of set up and demanded to know what Nathan got out of this. Sam then asked the pharmacist why he never called the cops and he stammered then said that he didn’t want to get involved. Silas called him a liar as Nathan arrested him.

Julian pulled a gun on Duke at the pier and told him that he knew all about their plans. Then, Shawn pulled a gun on Julian from behind and took his gun. Sonny then emerged and told Julian that this might be his last mistake. Sonny said that he wouldn’t shoot him because of Danny, but that he wanted a little payback. Sonny then offered first dibs to Duke, and Duke started punching Julian while Shawn held him.

At home, Ava offered Morgan something to take the edge off. He was feeling guilty that he gave Julian the info to kill Duke. She told him that he protected Julian, who was protecting her and Morgan too, as well as Carlos. She added that this business could be good if Morgan could learn how to eliminate problems. She then reminded him that he knew what he was getting into when he volunteered to work for Julian. He took her hands and told her he has something to say, but they were interrupted by a beat-up Julian. He told them that it was a setup and that Sonny was expecting Julian. They realized Sonny was onto Morgan. Julian then accused Morgan of doing a bad job of convincing his father. Either Sonny discovered Morgan was a traitor or Julian did. He then asked Morgan if he was in on it. Ava told Julian that Sonny had just outmaneuvered him. Julian then said that he thought the person who should be worried about Sonny now was Morgan.

Back at the pier Sonny was livid Morgan was still working for Julian. He wasn’t sure before, but now he was. He went on to say that it broke his heart that Morgan didn’t have an ounce of love left for him. Duke then asked Sonny what he was going to do about it.
