This week on General Hospital, Cody admitted to Molly that Kristina hired him to seduce Ava. At Alexis’s, Kristina told Ric that she knew about his and Ava’s blackmail scheme. Alexis was horrified when Drew had her served with restraining orders preventing her from seeing Scout. He informed her that her kids, as well as Danny and Rocco, would also be served with them, so Alexis threatened his life. Maxie was transferred to the coma ward at Mass General in Boston. Maxie’s family gathered to say goodbye to her. Jason tried convincing Britt to leave with him, but she refused. He gave her a burner phone to call him if she needed him. Ric told Ava he locked all of their bank accounts, including the secret one she set up in an attempt to cut him out of the blackmail scheme. Ric turned to leave, so Ava clocked him with a globe-shaped paperweight, knocking him out. Pascal told a captured Joss that he knew she and Vaughn were secret agents. Anna told Jack she was worried that the WSB would ruin Joss’ life like it did hers. Colette tried getting into Jack’s safe to gather some papers and ended up calling Pascal, telling him to get the safe code from Joss and Vaughn. Molly revealed to Michael what Kristina and Cody’s scheme was all about, and he advised her to keep an open mind and hear both of them out. Cody told Dante what happened and feared he had ruined his chances with Molly. Alexis entered her home and found Ava and Kristina standing over Ric. The three women realized they each would end up going to jail, so they agreed not to alert the authorities. After torturing Vaughn and threatening to do worse, Joss gave Pascal the code. The bad guy left, and Vaughn was mad at her for doing it, but it seemed like they were talking in code. Colette arrived at Wyndemere, where she and Sidwell talked in vague words about his taking care of a problem, and acknowledged they had a mutual boss. Ric woke up taped to a cot in Alexis’ basement with a ball gag in his mouth. Molly explained to Sonny that ADA Turner was a very fair person. Alexis visited Ric and revealed she was in on his kidnapping, and that she, Kristina, and Ava were going to wait until the bonds he created matured so the money could go back to the Cassadine estate. Sonny told Alexis that Drew would soon get what’s coming to him. Curtis warned Portia that after Aunt Stella, Drew would be coming for her next. Curtis blamed Portia for all of Drew’s misdeeds. Willow agreed to get back together with Drew if he successfully got her custody of her kids. While honoring the late Camilla’s birthday, Gio and Brook Lynn ended up having something of a heart-to-heart. The fraud agents arrested Aunt Stella. Nina vowed to see Drew dead if he hurt Willow. Sonny reassured Alexis that Drew was going to get his comeuppance. Marco revealed to Sidwell that he told Drew about their plan to frame Sonny for bribing the judge who presided over Michael and Willow’s custody case. Sidwell flipped his wig when he heard that and screamed at his son. Martin informed Tracy that Aunt Stella was in trouble. Tracy agreed to help her, but refused to work with Martin to that end. Portia and Curtis had a major fight. Portia flipped out in her office, feeling that her marriage to Curtis was over. Drew threatened Michael with news that Sonny would be blamed for bribing the judge unless Michael gave Willow full custody of their kids. Gio and Dante had something of a heart-to-heart conversation, like with Brook Lynn. Sonny and Michael agreed to go and talk to Judge Heran, and Sidwell and Marco had the same thought. Portia and Isiah started making out in her office and were pulling their clothes off. Curtis barged into Drew’s office and threatened to end the congressman if he stopped attacking his family. Kai overheard Drew gloating to Curtis that his machinations were hurting Curtis’ family. Elizabeth wasn’t happy when Willow told her she was going back to Drew. Portia and Isaiah had sex in her office. Curtis threatened to kill Drew, and Kai heard every word. Chase tried putting in a good word for Willow with Judge Heran. After he left, the judge called someone and told him that a detective was asking questions about the Corinthos case and wanted to know if the person on the other end of the phone had her covered. Portia told Trina why Drew was blackmailing her. Willow told Liz that the reason she was allying herself with Drew was that he gets what he wants. Drew told Carly that if she didn’t talk Michael into giving custody to Willow, he would reveal the fact that Sonny had bribed the judge. Britt discovered where Joss and Vaughn were being held prisoner. Joss asked for help, but Britt ran away. Danny and Rocco saw a body floating in the harbor. It looks like it was Judge Heran. Kai told Trina that Drew was behind Aunt Stella‘s arrest, and realized that he was a monster. Carly told Drew that if he messed with her family, she would kill him herself, and of course, Liz walked in at that moment.
