Welcome to the General Hospital Daily Y.A.P.P. (Your After-Program Ponderings) for a quick — and by that, I mean you’re already halfway done — recap of the most amazing or what-the-heck-did-we-just-watch moments on today’s episode. Let’s get to it:

What happened on General Hospital

Natasha Cassadine broke the claws out today — literally. It was a brief moment, and she pulled back, but we were loudly cheering her on in our living room. Drew had the absolute gall to tell Alexis that she'd be lucky if she were still alive when Scout turned 18 because that was the next time Alexis would see her own grandchild. The inner Natasha came out to play in that moment as she lifted her hands, turned her fingers into claws, but put her hands back down quickly so as not to make things any worse for herself. Instead, she used her words, hitting the nail on the head when she called Drew an abusive parent, which he is. He has neglected his daughter, ripped her from her brothers, and is now using her as some sort of revenge against Alexis for who even knows what, because Alexis has never been anything but good to him until recently. Drew has no idea whatsoever what he has done. Natasha doesn't play around, and why should she this time? This awful father has taken out restraining orders against everyone Scout loves, including her aunts and brothers. We have never seen a soap take a hero, turn him into a vile villain, and make us hate him more every day. But this vile villain has never seen Natasha Cassadine at work. Again, claw him, Natasha.
