General Hospital Recap, May 5: Rocco's life is on the line, Dante demands answers from Gio

Here is your General Hospital recap for Monday, May 5, 2025, when Gio and Danny tried to save Rocco in their own way.

What happened on General Hospital

Lulu was surprised to hear Dante say that he was still in love with her, too. "I don't remember a time when I didn't," Dante admitted. "But I can't even think about that right now cause I am still in love with Sam," he added.

Lulu understood that Dante still loved Sam. "You don't just stop loving someone just because they're not here anymore," Lulu said, but she still didn't like that Maxie had betrayed her confidence and told Dante how she felt. She also didn't understand why Dante would admit his feelings now.

"Because there's still something between us. I can't pretend there isn't. But I feel like you're using that to take your frustrations out on Brook Lynn," Dante said. Lulu denied the accusation, but Dante felt Lulu was taking her issues out on Brook Lynn.

"You wouldn't say if you knew," Lulu blurted out. Dante wanted to know what she was talking about. Lulu tried to cover for herself and told Dante some nonsense about how she was sick of everyone pretending Brook Lynn was a complete innocent. As they continued to argue, Carly walked in.

As soon as Dante left, Carly asked Lulu if she had told Dante about Brook Lynn's baby. Lulu said she hadn't, but that she planned to. "Lulu, don't you dare!" Carly commanded. Lulu argued that Dante had a right to know, but Carly insisted that it wasn't her right to tell. "If you expose this secret, you're going to regret it for the rest of your life," Carly warned.

At the beach, Emma freaked out when she realized the thumb drive with her environmental physics project was missing. Gio and Joss helped Emma search for it, but Joss came up lucky. Emma was grateful to Joss for finding it, having no idea Joss was the one who took it and then corrupted it.

Danny came across Rocco passed out on an isolated section of the beach, but couldn't seem to wake him. Rocco finally woke and admitted he had played a drinking game before passing out again. Danny found Gio and begged him for his help.

Rocco woke again for about 10 seconds and recognized Gio, so Gio declared him to be okay. Emma soon called out for Gio, so he went to distract her before she saw the passed-out teen. Gio returned and both boys did their best to drag him back to the boat house.

When they got there, Danny ran up to the house to get water and aspirin. As Gio searched for Rocco's phone, Cody walked in and wondered what was going on. Gio explained what had happened. When Cody placed a blanket on Rocco, he noticed that the teen's breathing was off and insisted on getting him to the hospital.

At GH, the doctor determined that Rocco had alcohol poisoning and needed to have his stomach pumped. Cody called Dante while he was chatting with Lois. They both rushed to the hospital and called Lulu while on the way. As soon as Dante got there, he demanded that Gio tell him everything that happened on the beach.

Josslyn and Vaughn sat down and discussed the thumb drive. Vaughn was impressed that Josslyn remedied the situation. He then asked a pointed question: "Are you homesick yet?" Joss reminded him she was home, but yes, it was surreal to only pretend to be a college student when she was now a super spy.

In the Q solarium, Lois wasn't quite sure what to say when Tracy asked her where her great-grandson was. Lois sat down and prepared herself for a battle as Tracy gave her the third degree. "Was the decision to give up that child really hers, or were you calling the shots?" Tracy demanded to know.

"The decision to have the baby and give it up for adoption was Brook Lynn's and Brook Lynn's alone," Lois stated simply. Lois wasn't sure if Tracy would even believe her because she never liked her. Tracy admitted that in the past, that was true, but then Brook Lynn came along. However, Tracy's feelings had once again changed.

Tracy was sure that Lois had convinced Brook Lynn to keep a huge secret, but Lois remained firm that Brook Lynn had sworn her to secrecy. "The only thing I did was convince my daughter that she wasn't a terrible person for getting pregnant. There's no handbook for this type of situation. I did the best that I could, but it has weighed on me to this day," she said.

Lois' speech didn't mean much to Tracy, who then hurled an accusation: "Brook Lynn doesn't know where her son is. You do." Lois told Tracy that it was a closed adoption, so she had no idea. Tracy also believed that Lois never told the Qs about the baby because she knew she'd stop Brook Lynn from giving him up.

Tracy pointed out that the Qs had the means to give the baby anything it needed, but Lois argued that not everything is about money. "Brook Lynn said she was not ready to be a mother and I supported her," Lois shouted.

"Then that baby should have been here with his family until she was ready, Lois," Tracy quietly said. Tracy accused Lois of giving the baby up to keep him from the Qs. "No, that was never my motivation, but it sure was one heck of a bonus," Lois spat.

Tracy was not amused. "I cannot wait for the day that I rid this house of you, and I have a feeling that day is fast approaching," Tracy said.

"What are you doing here?" Willow asked as soon as she saw Carly in Nina's living room. Carly claimed she was there to check on Wiley and Amelia "after Drew made a complete spectacle of himself." Willow warned Carly to ask for permission the next time she wanted to see the kids.

Carly asked Willow how Michael was doing and was surprised to hear that Michael refused to see Willow. When Carly brought up Drew, Willow insisted that Drew was drugged and he never slept with "that woman."

"You don't actually believe that?" Carly asked incredulously. When Carly left, Willow asked the million-dollar question: "Mom, do you agree with Carly? Am I an idiot for believing Drew?"

Nina sat her dingbat daughter down for a talk, asking her what had changed over the last few hours. "I was furious, but then, when I got to the hospital and had time to think, none of it made sense. Drew and I don't keep secrets like Michael and I did. I know him. Inside and out," Willow announced, as Nina looked at her with pity.

Nina wondered if it was possible that Willow didn't want to see the truth, considering what Willow had given up for Drew. "If Drew isn't that man you believed he was, it's not just an indictment on Drew's choices. It's an indictment on yours," Nina said.

Willow admitted she had been asking herself the same thing. "But in my heart, in my gut, I really don't think that's it," Willow said. Nina told Willow that she also had a gut feeling. "Drew has been unfaithful. A mother knows. He is not the man you think he is. I wish he were," Nina cried. "He pursued you when you were a married woman. His nephew's wife, no less. A decent man doesn't do that. Willow, I am begging you. Think long and hard before you forgive this man."

Willow was sure that the prostitute had given Drew ketamine because someone had hired her to set Drew up.

In the hospital halls, Drew recalled being with Tracy at the Port Charles Grille, but told Mac that the whole night was a complete blur. When Mac asked mentioned he would get security footage from the Port Charles Grille, Drew told him not to bother. He was sure his memory would return.

While Drew received some IV fluid, Drew once again flashed to Tracy's face before remembering shaking her hand and ordering a drink. He also noticed that his phone's GPS said he was at the hospital first. That's when he remembered talking to Portia.

Brad stormed into Portia's office demanding a promotion. He knew Portia had something to do with what happened to Drew. "I wasn't behind any of that, Brad. You were," Portia said. She made it clear if anyone accused her, she'd make sure people knew that Brad had gotten his hands on ketamine.

"You leave my family alone, or I make sure you go down for drugging the congressman," Portia warned.

Lucas was pleased to see Marco at GH picking up papers from a client. Marco admitted he made the trip hoping to run into Lucas. The two shared a second date with vending machine food and reminisced about Drew's antics during their first date the night before.

Later, Brad spotted Lucas and Marco in a close moment and recalled seeing Marco leave Lucas' room in Miami. Brad made a split-second decision, found Drew, and offered to sell Drew the name of the person who drugged him.
