Cody Finds Rocco in Time
Cody Bell showed up just in time to save Rocco Falconeri’s life. After a beach party got out of control, Rocco passed out from alcohol poisoning. Danny Morgan and Gio Palmieri panicked but tried to handle things quietly. They dragged Rocco to the boathouse and hoped he’d just sleep it off.
But Cody wasn’t fooled. When he saw Rocco’s shallow breathing, he sprang into action. He insisted they take Rocco to the hospital immediately. At General Hospital, the team quickly began treatment. They pumped Rocco’s stomach and worked to stabilize him.
Dante Falconeri got the shocking call while talking with Lois Cerullo. He and Lois rushed to the hospital, desperate for answers. When Lulu heard the news, she didn’t hesitate either. She joined them at GH, shaken by the close call. Cody revealed that doctors believed it was alcohol poisoning. Dante demanded the truth from Gio, who admitted the beach party got out of hand.
General Hospital Recap: Carly Silences Lulu Before the Secret Spills
Earlier that day, Dante pushed Lulu for answers. He wanted to know what Brook Lynn Quartermaine was hiding. Lulu was about to confess everything—until Carly Spencer showed up.
Carly sensed danger right away. Once she got Lulu alone, she laid down the law. She reminded Lulu of a moment from the past—when Robin Scorpio-Drake exposed Michael’s paternity and chaos followed.
Carly warned Lulu that some secrets aren’t hers to tell. She insisted that if Lulu revealed Brook Lynn’s baby truth, it would haunt her forever. Carly’s warning was firm and clear: stay quiet, or risk destroying lives.
Brad Blackmails Portia
Meanwhile, Brad Cooper had a plan of his own—and it spelled trouble for Portia Robinson. At the hospital, Brad cornered Portia in her office. He demanded a promotion and revealed he had damning information. Brad reminded Portia that she asked him to dig into Drew Cain’s records. He also revealed she had him steal ketamine, the exact dose that could take Drew down.
Now that Drew’s scandal is making waves, Brad saw an opportunity to regain control. But Portia wasn’t backing down. She argued no one would trust an ex-convict over a respected doctor. Then, she threatened to turn the blame around and pin the drugging on Brad. Still, Brad walked out with confidence, holding on to his upper hand.
General Hospital Recap: Drew Remembers a Clue
Drew Cain spent most of the episode putting the pieces together. After waking up with hazy memories, he tried to retrace his steps. He used his phone’s GPS and discovered he had been at the hospital. Then, he recalled a blurry conversation with Portia. Though the memory wasn’t clear, Drew knew something was off. He promised Mac Scorpio he would track down whoever drugged him.
Later, Brad approached Drew with a tempting offer. He claimed he knew who was behind the drugging—but he wanted something in return. Drew was intrigued, but cautious.
Nina and Willow Clash Over Trust
Elsewhere, Carly visited Nina Reeves under the guise of checking on Wiley and Amelia. Willow Corinthos wasn’t pleased. She told Carly to go through her next time. Tension rose as Willow defended Drew and Nina questioned his innocence.
Willow insisted that Drew had been set up. She believed someone drugged him and hired an escort to frame him. Nina, however, suggested that Willow just didn’t want to admit she’d turned her world upside down for the wrong man.
