General Hospital Recap: Alexis Implicates Drew in Jack’s Death as Sonny Declares War on Josslyn
The Thursday, November 12, episode of General Hospital on Thursday, November 12, Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Ric (Rick Hearst) plotted their retaliation against Josslyn (Eden McCoy) while Carly (Laura Wright) feared for her daughter’s safety, Drew (Cameron Mathison) hired Monet (Blythe Howard) to get him out of his legal jam, Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) went on the record with Dante (Dominic Zamprogna), and more. Here’s everything that happened.
Silent Treatment
Drew hired Monet as his attorney, then came clean about how he and Ava had drugged Brennan before finding him in the pool and burying his body. He explained that he didn’t come forward because he didn’t want to be scapegoated by the PCPD or the WSB, but Ava was now anxious that they’d be connected to the crime.
Drew then played the conversation he’d secretly recorded of Ava for Monet. Monet thought the D.A. would try to turn him and Ava against each other and suggested Drew turn himself in, but Drew didn’t want to go back to prison or risk custody of Scout. Monet said they needed to secure Ava’s silence — and teased that she had an idea how they could prevent Ava from testifying against Drew.
Shattered Image
Carly told Valentin about what went down between Sonny, Josslyn and Avery. Valentin comforted her as Carly grappled with her own part in protecting Sonny’s image with his kids over the years. Valentin thought Carly was being too hard on herself, because she was doing her job as a mother by shielding Donna.
Carly was terrified Sonny would retaliate against Josslyn for shattering the perfect illusion he’d crafted for his youngest children and debated whether to intervene and tell Josslyn to back off of Sonny.
She ultimately concluded that Joss was in danger because Sonny no longer considered her untouchable. “I’ve already lost one kid because of that man,” Carly lamented, referring to Morgan. “I won’t lose another.”
Planning Committee
Sonny told Ric what happened between Josslyn and Avery, saying he’d made a mistake by not putting Josslyn in her place when she disrespected him and hurt his daughter. Since Josslyn no longer considered herself part of Sonny’s family, he decided to treat her accordingly. He planned to take away her support system at JJE by approaching Hudson again in a less-friendly way.
After the brothers came up with a strategy, Ric pointed out what they’d discussed directly conflicted with Sonny’s new status as a legit businessman. Sonny declared that Josslyn had changed the game by involving Avery — and while he felt bad about how it would affect Carly, he was ready to finish what Josslyn started.
Search Party
In the PCPD interrogation room, Alexis gave Dante a statement about why she believed Drew had a motive to kill Brennan, citing the hostile interaction she’d witnessed between them back in August in which Brennan had alluded to Drew doing something unsavory during his time as a congressman. While Jack hadn’t elaborated, Alexis stated that “the fact that Drew backed off led me to believe that Brennan wasn’t bluffing.”
Off the record, Dante asked whether Alexis wanted to go through with an official statement, noting that doing so would hurt Scout. Alexis insisted that she had to do it for Sam, who would not want her daughter being raised by a murderer.
Out in the squad room, Molly and Joe discussed the possibility that Drew could have planted Brennan’s wallet in Nina’s car as well as the “C” bracelet on the body. Molly wondered if she’d tampered with the investigation by pointing it toward Drew and securing Alexis’s statement, but Joe reassured her she’d done her job. However, with her mother as a witness, Molly was prepared to recuse herself from the case if Turner asked her to.
While escorting Alexis out of the station, Dante said Sam would be cheering her on. Then he asked Molly to call the judge to let him know they had additional info on Drew Cain and needed a search warrant for his car.
Lying In Wait
At the Metro Court restaurant, Avery, who was still upset about the things Josslyn said to Sonny, told Ava about the fight, looking for reassurance that Josslyn was lying.
Ava told Avery not to believe anything Josslyn said and promised her that Sonny knew how much she loved him. Then, when Avery spat that she used to think Josslyn was so cool but now knew she was nothing more than a liar, Ava tried to suppress a smile.
Twisted Sister
While out on a run, Lucas came across Josslyn at the piers. She briefed him on her fight with Sonny and how terrible she felt about what Avery overheard. Lucas assured his niece that she’d done the right thing. Eventually, he said, Avery would discover the truth and realize that Joss hadn’t been lying to her.
All The Feels
Anna told Justine she didn’t think there was enough evidence in the D.A.’s file on the Pentonville attacks to bring charges against Sonny. Grateful for a second set of eyes on the file, Justine revealed that she couldn’t trust her own judgment with Sonny because they’d had an affair.
Justine groaned that she’d been manipulated by Sonny, but Anna thought his reaction (or lack thereof) when Justine ended their relationship was proof he had real feelings for her. Anna also pointed out that it was plausible Sonny had been framed for the assault on Sidwell and Curtis, but a wary Justine refused to take Sonny at his word and let him get away with attempted murder.
