General Hospital Recap: Drew Asks Michael For a Job, Sonny Taunts Sidwell, Curtis Goes to Prison
On the Friday, August 21, episode of General Hospital, Sonny (Maurice Benard) visited Sidwell (Carlo Rota) at Pentonville, Curtis (Donnell Turner) shared emotional goodbyes with Jordan (Tanisha Harper) and Trina (Tabyana Ali) before reporting to prison, Lulu (Alexa Havins) opened up to Laura (Genie Francis) about her relationship issues, Charlotte (Bluesy Burke) and Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) furthered their scheme, Portia (Brook Kerr) requested a favor from Ava (Maura West), and Drew’s (Cameron Mathison) apology tour had him asking Michael (Rory Gibson) for a position at Aurora. Here’s how it all went down.
Until Next Time
Curtis and Jordan made love one last time before he was due to surrender himself to Pentonville. After, Curtis dropped Jordan off at Aurora for a meeting with Michael, then headed to Portia’s house to say goodbye to his kids. There, he told Trina he wanted her to live her life while he was away and not take responsibility for her brother. He added that he was proud of the person Trina had become, and was confident in Portia’s ability to raise Des just as well.
Curtis then said goodbye to Desmond, and Trina promised to bring her brother to visit often before Curtis gave each of his kids one final kiss. Later, while Trina sang a lullaby to her baby brother, Curtis arrived at Pentonville, where he was processed and locked up in a cell to begin his sentence.
Straight And Narrow
Also at Pentonville, Sonny visited Sidwell. He revealed that he’d discovered a way to go legit thanks to Sidwell’s holdings, which were about to be auctioned off, but Sidwell doubted Sonny would actually be able to go straight.
Sonny taunted Sidwell about being locked up, and Sidwell volleyed back that their war was far from over. Glancing around the Pentonville visiting room, Sonny mocked that it looked over to him — then heckled his rival not to have such a bad attitude, “Because a bad attitude in here is no good.”
Open Heart, Open Mind
Laura hired Rocco to look after her condo while she was in Ireland visiting Kevin and Ace. Rocco was glad to get some extra cash, since he was worried Drew might have his pool hours cut if he found out Rocco and Scout were secretly hanging out. Laura cautioned that if Drew ever forbade Scout and Rocco from being together, Rocco should not defy him because Drew was very vindictive.
Later, Lulu stopped by to see her mom before Laura’s trip. When Lulu asked how her mom was handling her long-distance relationship, Laura revealed it was difficult to be apart, but she was grateful to have found love again with Kevin. Laura was sure Lulu would find someone again, too, but Lulu was hesitant to get involved with anyone after the disaster with “Nathan.”
Lulu said she wondered if Dante had been her one chance, and Laura questioned if there were still feelings there, but Lulu insisted that her romantic relationship with Dante was over. Laura encouraged her daughter not to give up on love.
In The Dark
Scout met up with Danny at the boathouse behind Drew’s back. Danny thought it was a bad idea, but Scout was confident that she could use her swim practices as an excuse for being at the Quartermaine estate. The siblings got into a spat when Danny insulted Drew, but Danny ultimately promised not to do anything that made Scout feel like she was stuck in the middle.
While Scout was swimming, Charlotte arrived, and she and Danny and tossed around ideas to frame Drew for a scandal. Rocco overheard and warned them that such a scheme could backfire. Rocco encouraged Danny to be patient, and Drew would probably ease up. Danny was stunned when Charlotte sided with Rocco, but told Rocco he’d drop the blackmail idea if Rocco didn’t say anything to Scout.
Once they were alone, though, Charlotte assured Danny that she was still on board with their plan — she’d lied to Rocco because it was better if Scout and Rocco were in the dark. Charlotte and Danny refocused on coming up with something to use as leverage against Drew.
You Can Count On Me
Drew ran into Ava at the Metro Court pool, and they reaffirmed their pact to take down Sonny. Ava urged him to move along before Portia arrived for breakfast, but Drew begged her to let him stick around so he could make amends with her. Once Portia arrived, he laid out his apology. Unsure whether Drew was sincere, Portia proposed they just stay out of each other’s way.
After Drew left, Ava told Portia that she’d made an alliance with him against Sonny. Portia warned her friend not to trust him. Portia then asked Ava to be there for Trina, because she’d need extra support while Curtis was gone. Ava replied that she’d be there for Portia, too.
Enemy Lines
At the Aurora office, Michael comforted Jordan, who was upset after saying farewell to Curtis. Michael assured her that he believed she was capable of running the company in Curtis’s absence and offered to listen if she ever needed to vent about her physical and emotional scars.
The pair was stunned when Drew dropped by to apologize to Michael and request a more active role in Aurora. Michael immediately shot Drew down, but Jordan thought they should give him a second chance.
Michael decided to defer to Jordan’s judgment as the new CEO and agreed to bring Drew back on board. Satisfied, Drew left, promising Michael and Jordan that they wouldn’t regret it. Once they were alone, Jordan assured Michael that she didn’t trust Drew one bit — she was just keeping their enemy close.
Will Curtis cross paths with Sidwell in Pentonville? Are Jordan and Michael making a mistake by allowing Drew back in at Aurora? Should Dante and Lulu get back together? Let us know what you thought about the latest episode of GH in the comments below!
