‘General Hospital’ Recap January 21: Michael Leaving, Willow’s Regrets, Tracy Jailed, And Sonny’s Health Crisis

It’s a new week that is sure to be loaded with drama in Port Charles, so let’s jump right into today, Tuesday, January 21 episode of General Hospital.

The show kicks off with Kristina Corinthos (Kate Mansi) sitting at the docks with her mom, Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) when Ava Jerome (Maura West) approaches them. 

She is headed over to Spoon Island and stops to spar with Alexis over her divorce settlement. She then tells Kristina how sorry she is to hear about Michael Corinthos’ (Chad Duell) injuries. (Make sure to check out our weekly GH spoilers, here!)

She makes a comment about how the next time someone tries to take Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Bernard) out they need to hit the right target and Kristina seethes.

Alexis tells Ava that her own sister died in an explosion meant for Sonny. Ava again apologizes for Kristina losing the baby while insisting that she didn’t push her. Alexis tells her that she knows it was an accident. Alexis talks to Ava and asks her if she can have compassion for Kristina and she seems to get through because Ava leaves.

Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) shows up next and introduces himself to Alexis. He invites her to Wyndemere to do paperwork and she declines saying that she can do it right there on the dock. She hands him the title to the property and wishes him well.

General Hospital Recap -Tracy Turns the Police Department Into A Ridiculous Theater Production

Anna Devane (Finola Hughes), Drew Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison), and attorney Martin Grey (Michael E. Knight) are deep in conversation at the police station. The men both want Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) charged because she is breaking a court order by refusing to turn over Wylie and Amelia to Willow Corinthos (Katelyn MacMullen.)

Anna confronts Tracy who still isn’t taking any of this seriously. The children aren’t on the Quartermaine estate and she says that they are simply out for the day. When Anna pushes her Tracy says the pain from the handcuffs is so severe that she has forgotten where the kids are.

John Brennan (Charles Mesure) shows up to talk to Anna and tells her that he has information on the device that blew up Sonny’s penthouse. He says that the WSB is familiar with the device and that it was used for Black Ops. Anna asks John point blank if he planted the device in Sonny’s home. He says no but believes arms dealers have easily gotten their hands on it.

Tracy and Drew go in circles playing the blame game and since the kids aren’t at the Quartermaines, no one believes Tracy wants them there for Monica Quartermaine (Leslie Charleson). It is very clearly just a power play. Martin and Tracy continue going in circles over legalities, with Tracy saying that the mayor, Laura Collins (Genie Francis), will be on her side because she understands families.

Anna explains to Jason that Drew wants Tracy arrested and it is now his problem because it is his family. He tries to reason with Tracy, but she still believes that her money and last name will keep her out of a jail cell.

Anna asks Tracy one last time where the children are and she in turn tells the officer next to her to do their job and arrest her.

General Hospital Recap – Tensions Are High Outside Of Michael’s Hospital Room

Willow, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Bernard), and Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) are outside of Michael Corinthos’ (Chad Duell) hospital room. Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) has gone in with him to talk to him about a treatment plan. Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr) informs them that if the pain is too great she will sedate Michael immediately.

Carly is with Michael as he chooses the experimental treatment in Germany. As she goes to leave he tells her to wait and then says Sasha Corbin’s (Sofia Mattsson) name twice. She goes out and tells everyone waiting that Michael chose Germany and has asked to see Sasha. Sonny and Carly start making transport plans. Jason goes to find Sasha, and Willow insists that she must speak to her husband.

Carly flips out because Michael is in pain and Willow is extending it. Sonny on the other hand believes that they still love each other and at the very least, need time to say goodbye.

Willow goes in to see Michael and tells him how much she loves him and that no matter what happens their kids will always know that he loves them. She promises to bring Wylie and Amelia as soon as he is well enough to see them. Buzzers start going off and Portia ends up sedating Michael to take the stress off of him.

Sasha arrives with Jason right after Michael is stabilized. She asks Carly if he said anything about why he wanted to see her and Carly says no. Jason pulls Carly to the side as she freaks out over Willow stressing Michael out. After he refocuses her his phone rings and Anna is demanding he get to the police station.

General Hospital Recap – Sasha Is Happy She Is Pregnant

Sasha leaves General Hospital and heads to Deception to talk to Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms), the only person other than Michael who knows she is pregnant. Sasha tells her that Michael is stable and that she also just had a prenatal appointment. Maxie again confirms that the father isn’t in the picture, and then offers to go to Sasha’s appointments with her.

Sasha and Maxie start dishing about her pregnancy and Sasha finally admits that she loves that she is having a baby.

General Hospital Recap – Go Away Drew

Carly tells Portia that a medical jet is ready to transport him to Germany as Kristina and Willow talk. Kristina thanks Willow for allowing Michael to decide his own treatment. They are civil until Drew shows up and makes everyone uncomfortable. Willow tells him that they are all managing just fine. Drew tries to stir the pot and Willow shuts him down by reminding him that MIchael’s health is what matters.

Before leaving for Germany, Carly thanks Brennan for getting Michael into the facility and arranging his transport.

Willow tells Drew that Carly spoke to Michael and he decided to go to Germany and Drew immediately starts attacking Carly. Sonny jumps in and tells Drew that he doesn’t belong there now. Willow says that she wants Drew to stay but pulls him to the side. She explains that she spoke to Michael, something that clearly doesn’t sit well with her lover.

The two go into the General Hospital chapel where Willow lights a candle. Drew keeps insisting that Carly and Sonny are a problem until Willow shuts him down.

He tells her that Tracy has been arrested and Willow panics that she has made all of the wrong choices. Drew insists that she will get her kids back as Jason watches from the doorway.
