Dante And Lulu Caught Up

While at Bad Jen Café with Rocco and Lulu, Dante asked his son why he had been avoiding Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzyn).

Feeling tense about the subject, in case Rocco accidentally revealed the truth, Lulu interrupted by reminding Rocco that he had to go to G.H. for his community service.

Once she and Dante were by themselves, Lulu expressed her belief that Danny and Rocco needed some distance from each other.

Dante implied that she was being overly protective, and Lulu agreed. She admitted that she had been concerned about Rocco, Danny, and Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) ever since Cullum was shot.

Lulu Worried About Charlotte, And Told Dante Ethan Was Back

Plus, she still had worries about Charlotte Cassadine (Bluesy Burke) since Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) was still on the run.

Furthermore, Lulu mentioned that her brother, Ethan, had returned to town. Later, as Dante reviewed the report on Cullum’s shooting, he sighed to Lulu, expressing his feeling that he was overlooking something regarding the events at Pier 55 that night.

She looked uneasy as Dante noted that the entire situation seemed careless and contrary compared to Jason’s typical methods. Dante kept musing about the incident but kept it to himself until he left the café.

Cody And Molly Discussed Molly’s Health

Back at his home, Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) and Molly Lansing-Davis (Kristen Vaganos) began to get intimate, but he hesitated.

He was concerned that sex might be too painful for her after her endometriosis surgery. The discussion continued for several minutes, with Molly attempting to reassure Cody that she would be fine.

He mentioned that he couldn’t shake off the memory of her fainting from pain and that she had kept her condition a secret from him.

Molly assured him that she was prepared for intimacy and promised to communicate if she felt any discomfort, leading the couple to make love.

Curtis Was Frustrated

At General Hospital, Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) was frustrated that Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr) had scheduled a last-minute checkup for her pregnancy without informing him, and she brought Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson) along.

She clarified that she didn’t want to pull him away from Jordan Ashford’s (Tanisha Harper) side, but she agreed to keep him updated on any future appointment changes.

Meanwhile, Felicia Scorpio (Kristina Wagner) was with Jordan and recommended that Jordan join a trauma support group, but she declined.

Isaiah then visited Jordan’s room and tried to highlight the benefits of her upcoming plastic surgery.

Jordan Shouted At Isaiah to Leave, Curtis Later Confronted Him

Unfortunately, this conversation only served to further distress Jordan, and Curtis entered just as Jordan was yelling at Isaiah to leave.

After expressing to Curtis that she felt overwhelmed and needed some space, Jordan made her way to the cardiac care atrium, where she encountered Portia.

Portia’s well-meaning attempts to assist only aggravated Jordan further.

She accused Portia of resenting her relationship with Curtis and snapped that she didn’t want Portia’s sympathy.

Meanwhile, Curtis found Isaiah at the hub and angrily warned him to keep his distance from Jordan.

General Hospital Spoilers: Ethan Betrays Sonny – Infiltrates Organization For Intel

Sonny Had Ric Interview Ethan For Jason’s Job

Sonny introduced Ethan to Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst), who was doubtful when Luke Spencer’s (Anthony Geary) son sought a position in the organization.

Claiming that Ethan was trying to take Jason’s place, Ric accused him of being in league with Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers).

Sonny trusted Ethan when he asserted that he wasn’t Robert’s informant and had Ric conduct an immediate interview with Ethan.

Impressed by Ethan’s responses to Ric’s inquiries, Sonny was eager to bring him on board. However, Ric maintained that hiring Ethan posed too great a risk; how could they be sure Ethan wasn’t there to infiltrate their ranks and undermine Sonny?

Sonny Hired Ethan

Despite the concerns, Sonny chose to hire Ethan, and once he was alone with Ric, he reassured him that he understood Ethan might be concealing something.

But he was confident that the young man wouldn’t exploit Luke’s memory to betray him.

He contended that the only way to uncover Ethan’s true intentions was to keep him close;  “And I’m doing this for Luke,” Sonny added.

Outside the house, Ethan contacted Lulu to inform her that he had secured a job with Sonny.

Worried, Lulu asked if that was truly the best career move, then gazing intently through the window at Sonny, Ethan declared that he was precisely where he needed to be.

Lucas And Britt Disagreed, But He Finally Got Her On Board With Him

In Lucas Jones’ (Van Hansis) office, Britt expressed her gratitude for his assistance but stated that she would prefer to face Huntington’s disease.

She’d take her chances rather than continue aiding Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) and Cullum in constructing Cesar Faison’s (Anders Hove) cold fusion weapon. She felt compelled to inform Sidwell that Cullum had killed Marco Rios (Adrian Anchondo).

Lucas cautioned her that if she did so, Sidwell would likely escape without facing consequences for his actions.

Pleading with her not to let Marco’s death be meaningless, Lucas encouraged Britt to allow their strategy to dismantle Sidwell and Cullum more time to unfold.

She consented, though she cautioned Lucas that she was uncertain how much more emotional strain she could endure.

Rocco Confessed To Britt That He Shot Cullum

Later, as Britt passed by Cullum’s hospital room, she was horrified to find Rocco inside, conversing with the WSB director.

Britt quickly fabricated an excuse to usher the teenager out of the room and pulled Rocco into the chapel for a private discussion.

Rocco hadn’t realized whose room it was when a nurse requested him to bring a pillow, he explained, and Britt warned him to steer clear of Cullum, labeling him as evil.

As she explained Cullum’s role in Jason’s kidnapping, an emotional Rocco suddenly shouted that Cullum tried to kill her.

Britt’s eyes widened in shock when Rocco disclosed that he, not Jason, was the one who had shot Cullum!

Dante Went To Visit Cullum

Dante, claiming he wanted to ensure the accuracy of the PCPD’s report, visited the hospital to speak with Cullum and inquired about the baton discovered on the pier.

Cullum stated that his intention was to apprehend Jason with as little violence as possible, but he drew his weapon when Morgan put up a fight.

Dante then probed into how Jason came to be in possession of the agent’s firearm. Instead of providing an answer, Cullum coolly responded, “I believe you have all the facts you need to make an accurate report.”

Dante expressed his gratitude for Cullum’s time and left, clearly sensing that Cullum was concealing important details.
