General Hospital Recap: Brook Lynn is Rocked as Jude Demands to See His Daughter
On General Hospital on Wednesday, October 28, Jude (Wil Traval) arrived at the Quartermaine estate and demanded to see his daughter, Nina (Cynthia Watros) learned Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) was now a suspect in Brennan’s (Chris McKenna) disappearance, Ava (Maura West) hired Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) to protect herself from a double-cross by Drew (Cameron Mathison), Tracy (Jane Elliot) made a power move with Deception, Carly (Laura Wright) developed a theory about Jack’s fate and more. Here’s everything that happened.
Lie of Omission
At Miller & Davis, Alexis reluctantly agreed to represent Ava, who was frantic to turn on Drew before he turned on her. Once covered by attorney-client privilege, Ava revealed that she’d been questioned by the PCPD and the WSB about Jack’s disappearance, and that she’d conspired with Drew to slip the WSB agent a sleeping pill. Ava explained that she never wanted to align herself with Drew, but had been desperate to protect Avery and needed an ally against Sonny.
Alexis mused that they should be prepared in case Jack had an accident while “impaired” and his body washed up. Ava neglected to tell her that he was already dead and buried.
Alexis said she’d research a precedent for leniency if Ava turned evidence against her co-conspirator, but Ava wanted full immunity for testifying against Drew.
Dire Straits
Despite being freshly divorced, Brook Lynn was determined to focus on the Deception meeting Tracy called. When Serena arrived at the mansion, she raved to Jason that the falcons (which had been tagged by a wildlife organization) had arrived in Florida, but her babbling prevented him from giving her a heads-up about something.
Before heading to the meeting, Lucy stopped by the gatehouse and tried to fish for information on the Quartermaines under the guise of having found the perfect house for Willow and the kids. But an uninterested Willow pushed Lucy off and made her leave.
Once Lucy arrived at the main house, Serena greeted her mom at the door to privately ask if she got what she’d wanted from Willow. Lucy replied that she’d planted the seeds. Neither of them knew why Tracy had called the meeting, but Serena assured Lucy it was fine since Jason had promised he wouldn’t say anything about their ploy with the Deception proxy.
Vote of Confidence
As the meeting got underway, Serena and Lucy were blindsided when Tracy and Brook Lynn announced they wanted to take a vote to make Deception a subsidiary of ELQ to save it from financial collapse.
Brook Lynn and Tracy revealed that they knew Serena had tried to trick Jason into signing over Michael’s shares, and Serena was shocked that Jason tattled. He pointed out that he’d only promised he wouldn’t say anything unless he’d been asked… and Tracy gleefully added that she’d asked because she knew Lucy well enough to know she’d try something sneaky while Michael was away.
Desperate not to lose her company to ELQ, Lucy pleaded with Jason not to vote against her for Alan’s sake, and Serena begged him to prove he was a man of integrity. But in the end, Jason voted with Brook Lynn and Tracy.
Devastated, Lucy accused Brook Lynn of seeking revenge, but Brook Lynn retorted that they were even after Lucy manipulated her into giving over shares. Turning her indignation to Jason, Lucy declared he no longer had any honor and was just a Quartermaine after all. Tracy beamed, “He certainly is.”
Blind Faith
As Britt walked into Aurora Wellness, she reminisced about her steamy night with the hot stranger, then hid behind the wall when she overheard Dante offering his condolences to Chase about the latter’s divorce. Immediately, Britt took off to tell Willow.
Chase explained to Dante how the ugly meeting with his and Brook Lynn’s divorce lawyers led to them hopping on a plane to get a quickie divorce. He admitted that he’d hesitated to sign the divorce papers but ultimately couldn’t forgive the Qs for getting Lulu to print lies about Willow in The Invader article. Dante defended Lulu and the recording she had of Sidwell, but Chase argued that Sidwell had every reason to lie in the interview.
Dante tried to get Chase to see that Sidwell’s story could possibly check out, but Chase kept ranting that Lulu’s accusations were wild since Willow would never drug someone. Frustrated, Dante huffed that Chase had to believe Willow was innocent — because otherwise he’d blown up his marriage for a woman who manipulated him. Chase fumed that he and Brook Lynn lost each other because of themselves, not Willow, and stormed out.
Told You So
Upon learning of Chase’s divorce, Willow immediately wanted to reach out and make sure he was okay. However, Britt advised her to keep her distance — especially since Willow had filed a libel suit against Lulu for an article that was true. Willow admitted she should have taken Britt’s advice to ignore the story in the first place, but Chase’s belief that she was innocent was part of why she hadn’t.
When Britt chuckled that it would probably all work out anyway, Willow grew skeptical of her cousin’s newfound optimism. Britt confided that she’d been feeling more positive since she had a one-night stand with a hot stranger.
Willow wondered why Britt didn’t want to explore more with him, but Britt knew she’d find something bad about the otherwise-perfect guy if she tracked him down.
Search Party
Carly and Valentin were in agreement that the best way to help Lulu with her libel suit was to figure out what happened to Jack Brennan before the WSB did. Valentin confided that he now believed Jack might be dead. Since Ava was the last person seen with Jack, they speculated that she could have killed him with the help of an accomplice — most likely Nina.
Recalling that a laundry cart was found in the garage the morning after, Carly suspected that was how Ava and Nina moved Jack into a car and didn’t think they traveled far with a body in the trunk. When Valentin commented that they couldn’t prove anything without a body, Carly proclaimed that they would keep looking until they could.
Good News, Bad News
Baines met with Nina (who’d been transferred from Steinmauer to a WSB holding site in Port Charles) and informed her that new information had cast doubt on her involvement in Brennan’s disappearance. Maintaining her innocence, Nina figured that Jack was either met with foul play, or she was being used as a scapegoat so the WSB could cover up what they did to him.
Baines insisted that, to his knowledge, the WSB didn’t know what happened to Jack, and Nina was relieved when he admitted that he believed her. But that quickly turned to shock when Baines added that they were reopening the investigation to look at other suspects — including her daughter!
Stranger Danger
Back at the mansion, Brook Lynn found a stranger at the front door. It was Britt’s mystery man, Jude. “I’m here to see my daughter,” he announced.
Is Jude Phoebe’s biological father? Will Nina strike a deal with the WSB to protect Willow? Should Ava have told the whole truth to Alexis? Share your thoughts about the latest episode of GH in the comments below!
