Curtis Ashford’s Curiosity 

Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) knows his ex, Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper), well enough to know that her resignation as deputy mayor makes no sense.

He visits her and suggests that the only time that he has ever seen her act so out of character was when she was undercover.

Jordan tells Curtis that she doesn’t want to lie to him, so she doesn’t deny his suggestions. Instead, she asks Curtis to just leave things alone and not ask any more questions.

Cody Bell – Knight & Shining Armour

Across town, General Hospital recaps for Thursday note that Molly Lansing-Davis’ (Kristen Vaganos) car got a flat tire on a road near the Quartermaine stables.

As she is on the phone with roadside assistance, Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) gallops up on a horse named Hades. He was out exercising one of Tracy Quartermaine’s (Jane Elliott) favorite horses and isn’t about to leave Molly there alone.

When her spare tire is ripped and useless, Cody convinces Molly to get on Hades with him so that he can take her back to the Quartermaines.

Marco Rios’s Explanation

Over at Alexis Davis’s (Nancy Lee Grahn) offices, she returns to find Marco Rios (Adrian Anchondo) already there with Lucas Jones (Van Hansis).

She tells him that she is surprised to see him there after recent developments. Lucas is confused, so Marco tells him that Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) is his father.

Lucas leaves quickly as the conversation heats up.

Marco tells Alexis that he did his own research on this law firm, and he knows that she is part of the Cassadine family, but has fought to be judged based on her own merit.

He wishes to do the same. Alexis isn’t sure whether or not there is still an offer on the table for him and needs to talk to Diane Miller (Carolyn Hennesy).

Felicia Scorpio (Kristina Wagner) stopped in to see Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) for a quick chat about Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Bernard), and the referendum over his piers.

Felicia thinks that the best thing might be for Sonny not to fight it if he is voted out. She thinks it may be the best, safest thing for his entire family, and she hopes that Carly will give it some thought. 

As Felicia leaves, Lucas pops in to tell Carly that Sidwell is Marco’s father. He thinks it’s the end of their potential romance, but Carly suggests that he think about that and not rush to judgment just yet.

Dante Falconeri’s Birthday Brings Plenty Of Drama

General Hospital recaps reveal that Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) tells Brook Lynn Quartermaine that he is having a hard time getting ready for Dante Falconeri’s (Dominic Zamprogna) birthday party.

He is really struggling with not being able to father a child with his wife. As he and BLQ talk, the topic turns to raising a child together, and they decide that it’s time to look into adoption.

Everyone has gathered at Sonny’s to celebrate Dante, and Olivia Quartermaine (Lisa Lociero) is thrilled to spend the day honoring her son.

Dante steps outside for a minute with his son, Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr), who has to give a speech soon.

Rocco is concerned because of all of the internet trolls bullying his grandmother, Laura Collins (Genie Francis), because of her friendship with Sonny.

Rocco fears that if both grandparents come to his speech, it will trigger more backlash for Laura. Sonny overhears and decides to skip the speech as long as Dante agrees to film it all.

Rocco thinks it’s the right choice, but feels really bad about suggesting it.
