General Hospital Recap, November 24: Carly plays Jack as Laura panics over Dalton’s body and Rocco faces new danger

On the Monday, November 24th episode of General Hospital, Carly kept up her revenge plot against Jack, Rocco was assaulted, Dalton's disappearence became public, and Jason pushed Britt to open up to him.

What happened on General Hospital

Carly woke up in bed next to Jack after their night together, and she appeared highly disgusted to continue the charade of caring about him. He woke up not long after and asked if she regretted what they did the night before, but she didn't. She told him. "I made my choice, and I'm sticking to it." Jack apologized for hurting Carly because it was the last thing he ever wanted to do. He wanted to make an effort to keep his work life separate from their personal life.

Carly pretended to understand, and she summoned the courage to get herself together. However, once she left the room, Jack called Josslyn to ask for an update on her assignment. She explained that Carly was vehemently opposed to Lucas moving into Marco's house, and that she created tension with her mother by taking Lucas' side over her own. Jack was pleased that Josslyn had created an in with Lucas so she could infiltrate Wyndemere. He urged her to make things right with her mother, both for security reasons and for the sake of his relationship.

Jack noticed there was friction between him and Carly, and he asked her to explain what was going on. She said the issue bothering her was related to Josslyn's surprising decision to back Lucas and Marco's cohabitation. Carly believed she was the only one concerned about it, and she felt like Josslyn was a hypocrite for giving her grief about her past with Sonny but having no reservations about Lucas living near Sidwell. She asked Jack for his insight, and he encouraged her to make peace with her daughter and brother.

She was taken aback that he wanted her to go that route, but he positioned it as a strategic move on her part. He believed Marco would reveal his true colors eventually, so it was more of a waiting game. The biggest mind-boggling part of it all for Carly was Josslyn's sudden need to defend Lucas and Marco's relationship.

Josslyn felt horrible for Lucas because of his horrific experience in relationships. The marriage to Brad was a disaster, and now he's tangled in the dangerous web of Marco and Sidwell. Vaughn encouraged her to keep the greater good in mind and to shut down Faison's final project. Licas didn't sign up for danger the way she did, which is why she regretted lying to him. However, Vaughn offered to help break Lucas out of the situation if he deemed it necessary.

Carly ran into Josslyn outside the hospital and apologized for her behavior toward Josslyn. She didn't want the disagreement with Lucas to come between them. Josslyn said she understood where her mother was coming from, but she wanted to sit on the sidelines as a supporter of Lucas' life choices.

Elizabeth pumped Lucas for information about his first night at Wyndemere, but he didn't get much sleep. She asked him what went down, and he explained that everything was going well until it wasn't. Lucas knew that Marco harbored deep resentment toward Sonny for Natalia's tragic death. However, he didn't think her death could be blamed on Sonny. He understood how Marco came to that conclusion, but his disappearance, seemingly at Sonny's hand, was something that he maintained an issue with.

Elizabeth supported Lucas's relationship, but she asked him to step back and not insert himself into the situation against Sonny. He had too many loved ones in common with Sonny for that to end well. She tried to get Lucas to recognize the depth of the animosity between Sonny and Sidwell. Elizabeth didn't want him to isolate his loved ones for Marco's sake. He could be a supportive boyfriend without burning bridges with his friends and family.

Dante visited Rocco at the juvenile detention center and asked how he was coping. He admitted he was hanging in there, and it could be a lot worse. Dante pulled his son in for a hug. Dante was worried that people would accost him inside the center because of his family. Rocco just wanted to be taken out of there, and he promised he never did anything to the lab. Dante revealed that Danny and Charlotte had come forward, and although Rocco opposed it, Dante didn't see another way.

Dante didn't think Dalton's case against him was as solid as he believed it to be. Dabnbny and Charlotte admitting their involvement and testifying that Roccoo never entered the lab was the best legal strategy. He talked Rocco through the ramifications of his actions, and he hesitated when Rocco inquired if he had made it home for the holidays.

Turner asked Nathan if he'd seen Dalton, since he'd no-showed at an important meeting with the DA's office. She left several voicemails for Dalton, but he hadn't returned any of them. Nathan felt that a material witness in a high-profile case not showing up was odd, and Turner was at the end of her rope. She believed she'd been duped by Dalton, so he could frame Rocco for crimes he didn't commit.

The forensics report didn't match Dalton's version of events. Dante showed up not long after that, and Turner quickly left. Dante asked Nathan for an update on the case, and, to Dante's surprise, he said he believed she planned to find a way to get Rococo out of the charges. Dante kept his distance from the report because of his close involvement in the case. However, Dante asked for a car to visit Dalton's house so they could bring him in for questioning. He had a lot of explaining to do.

Nathan could've found any trace of Dalton, and he worried that Dalton had found a way to disappear out of town.

Laura returned to her office and found Sonny there, waiting for her. She was surprised to see him there, and she worried that it was a bad idea to be seen together. He explained that since they had Rocco in common, it made sense for him to be there. Before she could get to that, Sonny had information for her about Dalton's murder. Sonny thought there would be a bit of wiggle room before people started asking questions about Dalton's disappearance.

Laura refused to look in the trunk before coming into work. Sonny assured her that there was nothing to worry about. Nothing relating to Dalton remained in her vehicle, so there was no viable evidence tying her to his murder. She spent the entire night scouring her apartment for traces of a planted murder weapon. Laura was paranoid that more things to incriminate her for his murder would be found. She assumed that since they put the body in the car, they'd cover the rest of their bases.

Laura was worried that she should've called the police and placed the body back in the trunk. Since Laura lied to the police when Nathan stopped her, walking that back would only spark suspicion and expose her and Sonny to serious charges. Sonny declared that "Rocco is better off with Dalton dead." He vowed he'd never lie to her, and she understood. Sonny told her to act like it was business as usual and feign shock once she hears through another channel that Dalton was missing.

A knock at the door nearly dropped Laura to the floor. Luckily for Laura, Marty was the one who stopped by, even if he was disgusted that she was there with Sonny. However, Sonny planned the grandchild card, and Laura offered to answer any questions about her ties to Sonny. After Sonny left her office, Marty was adamant that she stop spending so much time with the notorious mobster. Dante interrupted their argument to inform Laura of Dalton's disappearance.

Jason returned to Britt's apartment and promised he would have departed if it hadn't been necessary. She wondered why he had come back, but he said he just wanted to make things right with her. Jason wanted Britt to trust him enough to reveal her connection to Dalton. Britt accepted his apology, but she didn't want to give him anything more than that. She believed her problems were her own, and she asked him to do what he does best: leave her.

Jason vowed not to tell Britt how to live her life, but he found a difference between them. He reminded her of her illness and how she'd eventually need someone. Jason noticed how vague Britt got whenever the topic of her Huntington's Disease came up. He connected her remission to her work at the Five Poppies. Jason offered to help her, no matter what her terms were. She discussed his actions from the night before, and he realized that he had let her down.

Jason knew that sometimes doing his best wasn't enough, but he was always capable of being trusted. He said, "I'm gonna prove to you that you can trust me." Nathan showed up at Britt's doorstep, and he asked if she had seen or heard from Dalton.

Sonny dropped by the juvenile detention center to visit Rocco, and he was stunned to see Rocco with a cut-open face. He realized why the guards stalled, and he ordered them to reveal the truth about what happened to his grandson. Sonny demanded that the guard shut his mouth, and he pulled Roccoo aside to uncover what had taken place. He didn't know why he was attacked, but he had a feeling it was related to Dante being his father.

Sonny encouraged Rocco to use his name to intimidate his fellow inmate. Rococ didn't want to go down that route, but Sonny needed his grandson to stay safe and be removed from there.

Jack and Vaughn met by the pier to discuss his involvement with Josslyn, and despite denying it, Jack decided to take matters into his own hands. Suddenly, two men apprehended Vaugnn and hauled him away. Jack warned him not to pursue a relationship with Josslyn, and now he'd be forced to face the consequences.
