General Hospital Recap: Carly and Valentin Go Free as Drew and Ava Become Chief Suspects
On General Hospital on Monday, November 9, Carly (Laura Wright) and Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) were released after Tristan (Dean Geyer) provided info that made Dante (Dominic Zamprogna), Molly (Kristen Vaganos), and Joe (Jonathan Bennett) realize they needed to pivot their investigation onto new suspects; Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) and Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) intervened when things got heated between Chase (Josh Swickard) and Jude (Wil Traval); Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Josslyn’s (Eden McCoy) explosive argument upset Avery (recast Ayla Bullington), and Jason (Steve Burton) was stunned by Serena’s (Kelly Kruger) actions. Here’s how it all went down.
Taste of Freedom
In the interrogation room at the PCPD, Valentin recommended that Carly accept the deal Molly was offering. Maintaining that she and Valentin were innocent, Carly refused to lie and suggested the D.A.’s office look into Drew. Meanwhile, Serena provided a false statement to Joe, saying she saw Valentin and Carly making out in a hotel hallway on the night Jack went missing.
Tristan told Dante, Molly, and Joe that he’d seen Drew and Ava loading something unwieldy from a laundry cart into Drew’s SUV in the Metro Court parking lot the night Brennan was last seen. After the doctor left, Joe realized Ava had an opportunity to slip a sleeping pill into Jack’s drink, and the trio decided to turn their investigation to Ava and Drew.
Dante and Molly let Carly and Valentin go based on Tristan’s statement. Molly warned Carly and Valentin that they were being released due to insufficient evidence, but the charges would be refiled if new evidence surfaced.
Carly and Valentin headed to the Metro Court restaurant and she recognized Jude from photos online. Carly wondered what had prompted the PCPD to let them go. Valentin mused that the police were waiting to catch them covering their tracks, so they should avoid further communication with Charlotte and Danny.
Dad Tidings
At the Metro Court restaurant, Willow complained to Britt about her conversation with Elizabeth, but Britt thought it was a sign Willow should drop the libel suit. When Jude approached to ask Britt for a second chance, Willow mentioned that she’d heard he’d caused quite a stir at the Quartermaine house.
Jude explained that he was Phobe’s father and the adoption wasn’t legal. Willow implored him to let the infant stay with Brook Lynn and Chase. As Jude declared he had no intention of abandoning his daughter, Chase arrived and met Jude for the first time, and an argument ensued over who had the legitimate claim to Phoebe.
As things got heated, Willow held Chase back from hitting Jude. After Willow and Britt separated the men, Chase thanked Willow for stopping him before he made a huge mistake, while Jude simultaneously did the same with Britt. Deciding to give him another chance, Britt kissed Jude.
Regretfully Yours
Avery was thrilled when Josslyn showed up at Sonny’s. After Sonny sent Avery to her room, a furious Josslyn confronted him about the listening device, trying to bribe Hudson, orchestrating the attack on Curtis and Sidwell, and his various mob crimes.
From the hallway, Avery eavesdropped on the conversation, getting increasingly upset about the horrible things Josslyn was saying. Avery reentered the room and exploded at Joss, accusing her of lying. An emotional Josslyn said that one day, Avery would realize she was telling the truth. Avery maintained that Joss was trying to wreck their family. She yelled that she hated her and would tell Donna to hate her, too.
Sonny told Joss she was out of line and ordered his former stepdaughter to leave. While comforting an upset Avery, Sonny explained that Josslyn had just lost her temper, but she’d been wrong for saying what she did in the house while Avery and Donna were home. He didn’t want Avery to put her feelings onto Donna and said the best thing they could do was keep the argument to themselves.
Outside Sonny’s house, Josslyn tried to shake off the encounter but was clearly remorseful about what had happened with her younger pseudo sibling.
Done Deal
In the Quartermaine kitchen, Alexis shared her concern with Jason that Danny’s first instinct was to try solving big problems — like finding a dead body — on his own. Jason acknowledged that he’d set a bad example for Danny over the years but was trying to do better.
Alexis and Jason agreed it was too late for Danny and Charlotte to come forward about Brennan now, because they could face criminal charges if they did so, but they needed to impress upon Danny that he should reach out to them for help the next time he landed in trouble.
Before leaving, Alexis said she was proud of Jason for leaving Sonny’s business, and Sam would be, too.
Later, Jason was enjoying a beer when Serena barged into the kitchen. She excitedly announced that she’d managed to get Carly and Valentin set free, so Jason needed to pay up and give her and Lucy creative control of Deception. Jason, however, merely glowered at her.
Will Serena get Jason going to hand over Deception? Was Josslyn out of line with what she said to Avery? Let us know what you thought about the latest episode of GH in the comments below!
