General Hospital Recap, May 14: Drew's ready to pain Michael as a deadbeat dad

Here is your General Hospital recap for Wednesday, May 14, 2025, when Drew came up with another dirty plan to stick it to Carly and her family.

What happened on General Hospital

Elizabeth hobbled over to her front door on crutches to find Ric outside. He was disturbed to find she was alone when Lucky was supposed to be taking care of her. Liz assured Ric she was fine and was happy that Lucky could take a break and have breakfast with his family.

Liz was amazed to see that Ric was now driving a Porsche. He claimed he was living life to the fullest after his near-death experience. Liz suddenly recalled how fast Ric was driving the night of their accident — and how he said something was wrong with the brakes.

Elizabeth mentioned this to Ric, who said it wasn't a brake problem; it was more that he had trouble steering through black ice. "You and I are both recovering and I think the best thing we can do is put this whole horrible incident behind us," Ric suggested. "Elizabeth, I hope you know if you had been seriously injured, I would have made sure that somebody paid for it," he added.

After Ric left, Lucky returned and asked how Liz fared without him. She told Lucky about Ric's visit and how she remembered telling Ric to slow down right before they crashed. When Liz said that Ric lost control of the car due to black ice, Lucky wondered if Ric had remembered anything else. Liz said that an impound company took Ric's car for insurance purposes, and he was moving on.

Kristina popped by Lulu's new house to see Dante. Kristina was impressed with the place, including Danny and Rocco's landscaping skills. Kristina found a way to segue into complaining about her mother, which led to her dropping the bomb that Alexis was planning to have her committed.

"That doesn't sound like Alexis," a perplexed Dante said. However, he understood that Kristina had a really rough year and wondered if Alexis was onto something. Kristina said it would have been different if one of her siblings suggested a mental health facility, but her mother trying to force the issue rubbed her the wrong way.

"I wish I could move past this, but I can't. I don't know if I'm ever going to be able to trust her again," she said. Dante told Kristina that he didn't always trust Sonny, but they got past it. "If it's possible for us, then it's definitely possible for you and Alexis," Dante declared. Kristina was at least pleased that Molly had her back now.

They started talking about Ric's accident. Krisitna slipped up and mentioned how bad it was. "The entire passenger side of Ric's car was completely demolished," she said. Ever the detective, Dante asked how Kristina saw Ric's car that night.

Spinelli arrived at the Miller & Davis offices at Alexis' behest. Alexis had a job for him, but Spinelli had to be discreet. "I am so honored that you would think of me for a difficult task. Not a day goes by that I don't think about Fair Samantha, so you never need to hesitate to call on me for any endeavor," Spinelli assured Alexis.

Alexis asked Spinelli to help her track down Ric's totaled car. "For some reason, nobody seems to know where it is," Alexis said. Spinelli wanted to know why Alexis needed to find Ric's car, but she wouldn't say. So, Spinelli sat down at Alexis' computer and got to work.

Spinelli found that Ric's car was listed as destroyed. Alexis told Spinelli she thought someone was paid off to fake the record and remove the car from the lot. Spinelli eventually found that a tow truck visited the lot and took a car to a storage facility the same day Ava opened an account there.

Ezra Boyle was disgusted watching Laura dine with her children at the Metro Court. "She's walking around like everything's fine. Meanwhile, she's running this city into the ground," he lamented. Drew was more concerned about how the referendum campaign was going. "Before we get down to business, I've got a question for you. What did you do with Jacinda?" Boyle asked.

Boyle admitted he had known Jacinda for years, but had never seen her just skip town. "If you're hinting at something, don't. Just say it," Drew warned. Boyle assumed that Drew paid her off to get the heck out of Port Charles. Drew once again insisted that nothing had happened between him and Jacinda, and he was drugged.

When Drew asked Boyle if Jacinda was hanging out with anyone knew, Boyle recalled Nina giving Jacinda her card a few weeks back.

At Laura's table, Laura made small talk with her kids. Lucky reported that Elizabeth was getting better every day. "Come on, big brother, we want to know the good stuff. Are you two officially back together or what?" she asked.

Lucky said he has been taking care of Liz, but didn't confirm any reunions. He did admit that Aiden loved having his parents in the same house. "The three of us are enjoying it. Somehow it just feels...right," Lucky admitted.

Laura asked how Lulu's adoption story was going. She was surprised to hear Lulu say she had put the story on hold. After Lucky left, Lulu explained to Laura that she feared she'd hurt people she loved if she wrote the article. Boyle made his way over to the table to antagonize Laura and brought up her friendship with Sonny.

A public argument ensued until Boyle hit a very low blow. "You're so insufferable that it's easy to see why your own grandson would hit the old bottle in order to cope," he quipped. Laura couldn't take much more and tossed a drink in Boyle's face.

Willow opened the door to Drew's Dawn of Day house to find Nina there. "Is it all right that I'm here?" Nina asked. "That depends on whether you can accept Drew and me," Willow replied.

Willow informed Nina that she was standing by Drew and that was that. "It's easier to avoid you or anyone else who thinks he's guilty. It's nothing personal. I'm just trying to protect our family," Willow said.

Nina attempted to smooth things over. "Seeing you standing by the man you love at Drew's press conference was really inspiring for me, so I trust your judgment on this. If you believe Drew, then so do I, " she said.

Soon, there was another knock on the door. This time, Willow found a process server outside who handed her divorce and custody papers. She was devastated when she saw she had to be in court in just a little over two weeks. Nina was confused. "Why would Michael push for full custody when he isn't even here to fight for it?" Nina asked.

Drew suddenly appeared and took a look at the papers. Willow asked him why Michael would do this now. "Because he's as vindictive as the rest of the family, that's why," Drew stated.

Drew called Ric over to be Willow's new lawyer since Marty was still detained in California. Ric was happy to take the case, if only to go against Diane in court. "Plus, I'm not particularly fond of my nephew, and if all of this happens to bother my brother Sonny, all the better," Ric happily said before assuring Willow he thought they could win.

However, Ric wanted to ask for a postponement to give him time to dig up dirt on Michael. Drew said that wouldn't be necessary. "I have the perfect strategy to make sure that Willow gets full custody of her kids," he pronounced as Nina rolled her eyes.

Drew was ready to paint a man in a burn unit as a deadbeat dad, claiming Michael had the option of receiving treatment in Maryland. "And he has not reached out to those kids once through their mother," Drew pointed out. "We frame him like that, there's no way he's going to get custody of his kids," he added with a sinister look in his eyes.

Carly and Jason dared to be different by chatting in her living room rather than her kitchen. Jason thanked Carly for talking to Danny the night Rocco ended up in the hospital. Just then, Diane showed up with news. "We have a disaster on our hands. A disaster of your making," Diane announced.

Diane explained that she had petitioned the court for a custody hearing date at Carly's request and was granted one, but she hadn't spoken to Michael about it yet. Carly was stunned to hear the court date was June 2. She began freaking out as Jason chastised her for requesting a date without Michael.

"Michael's children are stuck living with Drew and Willow. They act like he doesn't matter. Heck, they act like he doesn't even exist. I need to get those kids out of that house as soon as possible and Michael would want the same thing. How do we fix this?" Carly asked Diane.

Diane thought their only option was to request a postponement on medical grounds, but warned that it would give Willow a good legal case to argue that Michael wasn't up to taking care of his kids. Carly nixed the idea of postponing, but also nixed the idea of Diane calling Michael.

"We cannot rush his recovery. He has to stay and heal," Carly insisted. Jason argued that Michael needed to be in court. So, Carly decided she would be Michael's voice in court. Diane thought that Carly had grounds to sue for emergency custody, considering Drew's most recent body shot scandal. Diane warned there was a possibility Wiley and Amelia could be placed with Nina.

Jason gave Carly the side eye when she said, "Anything to get those kids away from Drew and Willow."

At the Nurses' Ball rehearsal hall, Trina was excited when Josslyn told her she landed a job as a summer research assistant. Then, it hit her. "Wait, isn't that the job that Emma wanted?" Joss said that it was, but she had only applied on a whim, thinking Emma would get the position.

Trina figured Emma would come around and find another job. She encouraged Joss not to feel so guilty. "It's not like you even stole the job. Professor Dalton gave it to you fair and square," Trina said.

Trina changed the subject to their Nurses' Ball performance. Trina was excited to perform with Joss, but as soon as they were off stage, she planned to leave to be with Kai.

At the hospital, Stella was impressed with Kai's progress in physical therapy. Kai told Stella he needed a huge favor. Kai wanted Stella to help him with an early release, but she said she couldn't do it. "I need to be there for Trina's Nurses' Ball performance. I want to show up and support her just like she supported me," Kai explained.

Stella did her best to get Kai's doctors to approve the release that day, but she didn't have any luck. However, he might still be discharged in time for the big ball.
