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

This is the second time this week our frustration with Alexis has led us to write about her ridiculous idea that getting Willow acquitted is the only way to ever see Scout again. Does Alexis not remember that she is a lawyer who handles all sorts of cases, and not just criminal cases? Does she remember Tracy coming to her months ago, asking her to fight for custody of Scout? She has legal recourse here as this little girl's grandmother. We are sure that if she fights the restraining order, she would actually win, which is something she should have done months ago. What grounds does Drew even have to keep Scout from a grandmother who never meant or caused her any harm? The girl is desperate to be with her brother and her mom's family, so it seems unlikely a judge would allow this restraining order to stand. Scout is old enough to tell a judge what she wants, and who can deny that sweet little face? Well, Drew can deny that sweet little face because he is a lousy excuse for a man and a lousy excuse for a father. The bottom line is, we are sick of hearing Alexis say that if she doesn't exonerate Willow, she will never see Scout again. Go to court, Alexis. It's where you're most comfortable anyway, right?
