‘General Hospital’ Recap February 10: Portia’s Paternity Decision, Carly’s Risky Mission & Jason Guilty

General Hospital recap for Tuesday, February 10 reveal Elizabeth Baldwin (Rebecca Herbst) and Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr) had a heart-to-heart talk.

Plus, Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) gave Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) romantic advice, and Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) felt guilty over Anna Devane’s (Finola Hughes) situation.

Key Points:

• Portia admits it’s time to face the paternity results after mounting pressure.
• Tracy helps Cody see Molly’s novel in a new light—he can change the real-life ending.
• Lucy and Ava’s feud over Jenz erupts at the nail salon.
• Jason confesses guilt over Anna’s situation—wishing he’d seen the signs.
• Carly volunteers to go to Wyndemere, while Valentin warns her to check for the catacomb entrance.

Eilzabeth And Portia Had A Heart-To-Heart Talk

Elizabeth delivered food to Portia, which Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson) had kindly ordered for her after she mentioned that salad was her current pregnancy craving. (Make sure to check out our weekly GH spoilers, here!)

Portia shared with her friend how smooth her relationship with Isaiah has been and how well they complement each other. But she was anxious that this might change once she received the paternity test results.

Since her daughter was already having a hard time with her parents’ separation, it wouldn’t be easy for Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) to accept Isaiah as the father.

And if Curtis turned out to be the dad, custody issues would complicate their divorce process.

Portia Wanted To Be Fair To Curtis, But His Expectations Were Overwhelming

Even though she wanted to be fair to Curtis, given that he missed out on Trina’s upbringing, Portia said his expectations have been overwhelming her since he learned about the pregnancy.

Portia expressed that she needed more time to come to terms with everything, including the fact that Curtis and Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper) were living together with her child.

Having experienced a similar situation with Jake Webber’s (Hudson West) paternity, Elizabeth said she understood why Portia wanted to delay finding out, but her friend also seemed anxious about the uncertainty.

By deciding to go ahead with the paternity test, Liz suggested, Portia could concentrate on preparing for the baby. Portia agreed, saying it was time to take the test and discover the truth so she could move on.

Tracy Found Cody Reading A Book

While reading Pride & Prejudice in the Quartermaine kitchen, Cody remembered his argument with Molly Lansing-Davis (Kristen Vaganos) about her manuscript.

When Tracy walked in, she teased him for reading a Regency romance, and Cody reacted defensively, insisting he wasn’t a fool.

Tracy said that nobody thought of him that way, prompting Cody to express his disappointment that Molly had modeled one of the main characters in her romance novel- the rude, foolish stable hand Casey-after him.

Tracy asked how Jane Austen was involved, and Cody explained that Molly had likened Casey to Mr. Darcy. This had confused him since, from what he had read, Darcy was a wealthy billionaire.

Tracy Gave Cody Romantic Advice

Tracy gave him a quick lesson on the enemies-to-lovers trope, suggesting Cody should feel honored that Molly created her hero based on him.

Because she had been working on her novel for months, meaning she had been thinking about him for that long. Although he grasped Tracy’s point, Cody was concerned that Molly would eventually see him as just a jerk.

Tracy reassured him that his girlfriend recognized there was more to him than what appeared on the surface, and he suggested that the events between Molly’s characters in her book were up to her. But he could influence what happened between them in reality.

Lucy And Ava Argued In The Nail Salon

After breaking up with Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota), Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring) decided to treat herself to a mani/pedi. However, her peace was disrupted when Ava Jerome (Maura West) arrived at the nail salon.

Once Lucy revealed she had ended things with Jenz, the two women started arguing again about the billionaire, trading insults.

Ava accused Jenz of using Lucy to secure a good deal on Wyndemere and quickly found Lucy’s presence to be quite annoying.

Lucy shot back that Jenz’s appreciation for old things only applied to Greek sculptures, not to his art vendors, and upset, Lucy left in the middle of her pedicure.

Molly Confronted Kristina Over Taking Liberties With Her Novel

Molly confronted Kristina Corinthos-Davis (Kate Mansi) in the salon, criticizing her for sending her book to the agent without Kristina’s knowledge, and insisted she never planned to publish it.

When Kristina said Molly was panicking because her agent liked the book, Molly admitted her agent mentioned a multi-book deal.

But she and Cody had a big fight after he read part of her manuscript and didn’t like how she portrayed him as Casey;  this wouldn’t have happened if Kristina hadn’t acted secretly.

Kristina believed Cody would be proud of her after he finished the manuscript and saw the book in stores. When Molly avoided the question about selling the book, Kristina asked whether she planned to publish it, and Molly just shrugged, unsure.

Danny Got Creative Trying To Find Out How He And Charlotte Could Be Related

At the Quartermaine estate, Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzyn) browsed Charlotte Cassadine’s (Bluesy Burke) social media while waiting for Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn).

When his grandmother arrived, he asked her for a Cassadine family overview, pretending it was for a history class project. As Alexis shared the family tree, Danny inquired about Charlotte’s connection.

Alexis explained that Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) thought Mikkos Cassadine (John Colicos) was his father, but he was actually Victor Cassadine’s (Charles Shaughnessy) son.

The only ancestor Danny and Charlotte share is Nikolai Cassadine (uncast), his great-great-grandfather and her great-grandfather.

Jason Felt Guilty Over Anna

Updating Sonny on his talk with Felicia Scorpio (Kristina Wagner), Jason mentioned that Anna believed Cesar Faison (Anders Hove) had held her captive, and he needed to stop the notorious villain.

When Sonny asked if Faison was still alive, Jason said Felicia thought Anna had PTSD and he regretted not noticing the signs when he spoke to Anna about Faison before her disappearance.

Then, he left her when she returned to France, while he stayed in Port Charles to help Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud).

Sonny tried to reassure Jason that he might not have been able to help Anna, but Jason felt Anna sent Felicia to him for a reason.

Sonny And Jason Were Interrupted By Alexis

Their talk was cut short when Alexis texted about Danny, so Jason invited her to Sonny’s house; once there, she asked Jason how close Danny and Charlotte were. Jason thought they were just friends, so Alexis shared how Danny had asked her to figure out the Cassadine family tree, but he seemed more curious about his connection to Charlotte.

Implying that Danny might have things he wanted to discuss but didn’t want to with his grandmother, Alexis suggested Jason talk to his teenage son.

With that, Jason returned to the mansion and found Danny, offering to help if he wanted to discuss anything, whether it was the school project or not.

With a sigh, Danny realized his father knew there was no school project and admitted he was interested in both his Cassadine roots and Charlotte’s too.

Jason Left, Alexis And Sonny Talked Over Michael Corinthos’ Custody, And Lucy Barged In

After Jason left, Alexis and Sonny reviewed Michael Corinthos'(Rory Gibson) custody papers with Willow Cain (Katelyn MacMullen).

Sonny was relieved that Wiley and Amelia Corinthos (Viron Weaver, Serenity and Sequoia Mork-Macko) wouldn’t be bargaining chips like Scout Cain (Cosette Abinante)  had been.

He asked Alexis how her granddaughter was doing- Alexis reported that Scout was worried about her dad but starting to relax.

The next step was to get Willow to let Danny and Scout see each other again; Sonny suggested waiting because Scout needed stability, and Danny was focused on Charlotte.

He joked that Charlotte was a good fit for Danny’s thrill-seeking; Alexis sighed, worried about trouble they might cause, then Lucy arrived, and once alone, Lucy wanted Sonny to ‘clean Sidwell’s clock.’

Valentin Was Determined To Go To Wyndemere, Carly Stopped Him And Said She Would

After hearing about Anna, Valentin was set on returning to Wyndemere, but Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) insisted she visit Spoon Island this time.

Since Sidwell had extended an open invitation, hoping she would reconcile with Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) for Marco Rios’ (Adrian Anchondo) benefit, she wouldn’t have trouble getting in.

Still, she despised that Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) was manipulating Lucas for her own purposes, and now she would be doing the same.

Valentin advised her to remain at home, as her uncertainty would only lead to her being hurt. Yet, the thought of removing Josslyn from the WSB and getting her brother off Spoon Island only intensified Carly’s urge to explore Wyndemere.

Valentin Asked Carly To Find Out If The Other Entrance To The Catacombs Was Still Accessible

Before she departed, Valentin recommended she plan a visit to the wine cellar to check if the entrance to the catacombs was still accessible.

He also cautioned her to be careful and avoid raising suspicion since she needed an invitation to return, and Carly understood that she had to earn her brother’s trust for that to occur.

While she was away, Valentin felt a sense of sadness as he viewed photos on Charlotte’s social media from her snowy outing with Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) and Danny. As for Carly, she headed out for Spoon Island and Wyndemere.

Lucas Encountered Pascal

Returning to Wyndemere, Lucas called for Marco and was shocked to find Pascal (Marc Forget) back from Europe.

Pascal told him that Marco was not available and implied he knew more about Marco’s business than Lucas. Lucas confronted the butler about his attitude and accused him of being jealous because he wanted Marco for himself.

Pascal shot back that Lucas was so wrapped up in his “trivial romance” that he was oblivious to the real situation, but Marco interrupted before he could elaborate.

When Pascal mentioned he was trying to say that Marco was busy, and Lucas reacted poorly, Marco declared they needed privacy and took his boyfriend from the foyer into the living room.

Marco And Lucas Talked While Jenz Took Pascal Aside

As Lucas raged that Pascal was a liar and unpredictable, Marco silenced him with a kiss- and offered to talk to his father about moving Pascal to another property. 

He wanted Lucas to feel at ease in Wyndemere; assuring Marco that he was happy and not going anywhere, Lucas kissed him back.

Back in the foyer, Sidwell caught his butler listening at the double door to the living room and joked that Pascal should have remained in France.

Having heard the argument with Lucas, Sidwell cautioned that Pascal would need to leave if he couldn’t stop raising suspicion.

Stating that not only did Lucas have it out for him, but was also close to uncovering something he shouldn’t, Pascal felt it was unwise to have Lucas wandering around Wyndemere.

Pascal Brought Sidwell Up To Speed On Anna, Then Carly Arrived

Frustrated about repeating a previous discussion, Sidwell made it clear that if Lucas was important to Marco, he was important to him too.

Then, Sidwell asked about France, and the butler revealed that Anna “escaped” from his car, had a run-in with the police, and got arrested, later going to a mental health facility.

Sidwell wondered if they still had access to Devane, but when Pascal was unsure, Jenz decided to let Anna “cook” until needed, as everything went as he and Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) had planned.

When there was a knock at the door, Sidwell said he would answer it himself and sent his butler away for the night.

He was pleasantly surprised to see Carly at the door and brought her into the living room, where she told a shocked Lucas she was there to apologize.
