Did you spend an hour in Port Charles on General Hospital today? If not then you missed a lot, so here is a recap!
Willow Corinthos (Katelyn MacMullen) is pulling the night shift at GH along with Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson) and she mentions that the day has been crazy. Both hope for a calm night in the ER.
Trina Robinson (Tatyana Ali) is alone in her apartment when Kai Taylor (Jens Austin Astrup) knocks on the door. He noticed that she left her own birthday party early and wanted to check on her.
First Trina tells him that she wants to be alone, but she quickly tells Kai that she has changed her mind and lets him in. (Make sure to check out our weekly GH spoilers, here!)
He sits with her as she tells him all about Spencer and their relationship, as well as his death, and how she has spent the last year recovering from the grief.
Kai appreciates the conversation because it helps him to get to know her better. Before leaving he gives Trina a birthday gift, a framed photo of them together.

Tracy wants to know if he saw anyone with bulldozers outside when he came home. He says that he didn’t and then Tracy brings BLQ up to date on Martin Grey’s (Michael E. Knight) representing Drew Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison) in an attempt to move the family crypt.
Tracy leaves for an appointment before actually drinking her tea, and everyone else continues to discuss the situation.
Sasha says that Tracy goes to the crypt at least 3 times a week to talk to her parents and Gio agrees that while her delivery can be really tough, Tracy really is all about family.
Meanwhile, Martin is visiting Laura Collins (Genie Francis) and he wants to focus on the positives. He points out all of the ways that things are going well for the family, and she agrees.
Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) knocks on the door with a Federal marshal and tells Laura that he is there to arrest Martin and have him extradited to California.
As Anna explains that Martin owes alimony to an ex on the other side of the country, Tracy arrives to gloat and watch.
She suspected that Martin didn’t report the money that he made off of a recent property deal, and she was right. Laura says that Edward taught her that every situation is a negotiation, so she wants to know what Tracy wants in order to make things even.
Tracy seems to contemplate working out a deal until Martin runs his mouth. She then leaves as he is placed in handcuffs.
General Hospital Recap: Sonny Catches An Intruder
Sonny Corinthos Maurice Bernard) opens the door to let Jason Morgan (Steve Burton inside and they discuss how he and Anna successfully brought Charlotte Cassadine (Scarlett Fernandez) home. Sonny is glad that Charlotte’s family has her back safe and sound.
Sonny and Jason also run through the short list of people who could have blown up his penthouse, because Sonny wants revenge on the person who hurt Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell).
They contemplate it being Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota), who just so happened to land in Port Charles on that very day, but Jason still doesn’t think that it was him. The previous explosives that he has used in other situations don’t match what was used at the penthouse.
Jason questions whether or not it could be WSB agent Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna), because the explosives are the kind that the agency has used before.

Sonny isn’t so sure about Jack because Michael was hurt in the fire and Michael is Carly Spencer’s (Laura Wright) son. If Jack hurt one of her kids it would destroy his chance with her. They agree that they need to keep an eye on both men just in case.
Later that night someone all in black sneaks into Sonny’s new home and we quickly realize it is Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) looking for passports that he had hidden near the fireplace when he lived in this house. Sonny catches him and holds him at gunpoint.
General Hospital Recap: Carly Drank Plutonium-Laced Champagne
Carly is enjoying champagne as Jack appears from the bathroom. She is pouring glasses as Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) listens from outside their door.
They share another kiss and she takes a sip as Jack picks up the bottle and realizes that he can peel back the label.
He slaps the glass out of her hand and tells her to stop drinking it. Carly immediately gets sick and collapses. Jack calls for help and has a WSB lab team meeting them at GH as well.
When they arrive at the hospital the staff tries to stabilize Carly after realizing that she was poisoned. Willow wants to call Carly’s family and Jack yells at her not to.
He says that no one is allowed anywhere near her but him and her care team. As Willow pushes back Jack gets a call from the WSB lab telling him that she has ingested Plutonium.
General Hospital Recap: Brook Lynn Tells Chase That Dante Fathered Her Child
The Quartermaine living room has cleared out, with the exception of Brook Lynn and Chase. She starts to tell him that she found out that her grandmother has known about the baby that she gave up for adoption.
She is hurt because secrets were kept from her and it has changed how she feels about the people who are so close to her.
She realizes that she is doing the same thing to Chase and finally tells him that Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) fathered her child when she was just 16.
