What happened on General Hospital

Portia was excited for her cabin getaway with Isaiah, and he was equally excited for some alone time with her. He kissed her, but she had a lot of work to do, so the physical contact had to come to an end, for now. She said she'd drive herself and directed him to get the cabin ready for her. There was a knock at Portia's door, and it was Trina, who asked if she was interrupting.

Portia asked Trina if she was okay after learning about her and Curtis's divorce. She admitted she was fine, but she was upset to see the end of their family unit. Trina understood that Curtis and Portia put in the work, but she hoped they'd remain amicable exes. Portia was sure she and Curtis would remain on civil terms, and she felt like the strain on their relationship was over. She was hopeful Curtis would eventually see her in the same light he did previously, and vice versa.

Jordan heard a knock at her door, and it was Curtis, with an official document for her. She thanked him, but he didn't need to bring it by in person. Jordan's food arrived, and she asked Curtin to stay and join her. He told her to just ask next time to lure him to her apartment, but she promised she didn't set things up. Curtis discussed his divorce, and he wanted to be clear that Jordan wasn't responsible for the end of his marriage.

Curtis defended his and Portia's attempt at marriage, but they wanted different things for the future. The divorce wasn't public yet, but Jordan struggled with the news. She felt responsible for the downfall of their family, but Curtis didn't see it that way. It wasn't fair for Trina if they remained in an unhappy marriage. A life with Portia wasn't possible, and he couldn't deny the connection he still had with Jordan. Their chemistry still lingered, which led Jordan to keep her distance from him.

He saw things clearly, and he expressed regret at how he ended their marriage. Jordan was conflicted by Curtis' declaration, and when he asked if they could try again, she said, "I really want that too, but I can't."

Emma was thrilled to see Gio and asked how it went with Lois, but he was ultimately glad he went. She asked him if there was a chance that he and Brook Lynn could get closer after everything he's learned. He made it clear that there was nobody who could replace Camilla, but Emma didn't think anyone was trying to do that. Gio sensed Brook Lynn and Dante's desire to be his parents, but he felt like that ship had sailed. Emma explained that he can still need parents as an adult, which echoed Lois' previous comments.

Gio had no passion for the violin after he smashed it at the Nurse's Ball. Emma was hopeful he'd find his way to the instrument again, and she equated it to her feelings toward animals. She discussed needing to stop Dalton's illegal testing on animals.

Lulu was floored to hear Rocco had dinner with Liesl and Britt, but Nathan didn't understand why it was a big deal. She explained the agreement she had with Liesl about spending time with Rocco, but he took advantage of her absence. Nathan felt like Lulu's dislike was fair, but he assured her that her son was safe. Lulu's biggest gripe was Rocco's newfound desire to lie to her and Dante.

Lulu didn’t understand why Rocco was testing her lately, and Nathan tried to offer some advice, but he wasn’t an experienced parent. Both expressed a desire for Maxie to wake up and help them through their situations. He also knew a side of Britt that others didn't see, but Lulu said how much his sister hated her. However, Nathan promised to keep an eye on Rocco during any interactions between Britt and Rocco moving forward.

The mere sight of Laura appeared to rattle Drew, and she asked him when he became petty enough to target teenagers. He tried to play it off as if they didn't hear the entire conversation, but Ronnie filled Laura in. She explained that the boys told her that Drew was preventing them from seeing their sister. She knew of the restraining order and found it completely unnecessary. Rocco told Laura that Danny was the only person still on the restraining order, but Drew warned Laura to stay out of it.

Laura asked for a word alone with Drew, and she asked the boys to leave the Quartermaine living room. Ronnie confirmed their exit, and Laura demanded that Drew stop pretending like Danny was a bad influence on his sister. He felt like Dante and Lulu should also protect Scout from Danny. Drew said, "Danny is a bad seed like his dad." This didn't sit well with Ronnie, who chimed in and noted that Drew was the only person intent on causing trouble for everyone.

Laura defended Danny as a teenage boy, and Ronnie wanted to know how Danny put Scout in danger. She couldn't fathom how Drew turned Scout, not wearing a helmet, into being under a restraining order. She thought Drew was fishing for reasons to keep Danny from his sister, and she slammed Drew for dishonoring Monica's memory. Laura referred to Drew as "heartless" and said that he had no sympathy for Scout and Danny. Ronnie recalled being separated from her sister. Doing so broke their bond because of hurtful adults.

Drew didn't think the situations were the same, but Ronnie disagreed. Drew droned on about his gripes with Danny and pulled random excuses out of thin air. However, Laura had had enough and promised Drew she wouldn't let him use Rocco against his brother. Drew claimed Laura was only against him because they were political opponents. She felt like Laura abused her power and discussed her friendship with Sonny as a red flag against her.

Ronnie refused to sell the house to Drew, but he made a final pitch to her. He said, "I hired Alexis, and when Willow is exonerated, I am gonna bring her and Scout home to the Quartermaine mansion. All you have to do is name a price." She declined again and told Drew she didn't like him. He maintained that despite her comments, his offer was still on the table. Laura clapped when Drew left and welcomed Ronnie as a new resident of Port Charles.

Ronnie admitted she took pleasure in removing Tracy from her home, and Laura exchanged stories about her mother and Monica's former feud. Ronnie was grateful to Laura for giving her an unfiltered version of her sister. Everyone else made Monica feel like a saint, but Laura was different. Laura considered the idea that Monica had left Ronnie's house, so she could immerse herself in her family.

Sonny told Marco not to let Sidwell derail his career status at Diane and Alexis' law firm. After Sonny left, Marco asked Sidwell if Sonny would ever pay for his mother's death, but Sidwell assured his son that he would. They met with Marty and discussed a message that needed to be passed along to Drew. Marco didn't understand their involvement in the election when there was an easier way to take down Sonny.

Kristina met Sonny at the Metro Court and informed him that Alexis had taken on Willow as a client. He was concerned she would pin Drew's shooting on Michael. Kristina was furious with her mother for pointing the direction of guilt at Michael, but she didn’t think Michael would go to prison. Kristina was adamant that Michael was innocent, so she was confident he'd escape trouble. However, Sonny understood Michael's POV if he decided to shoot him.

Marco informed his father about the threat to warn him against working with him. Sidewell went over to Sonny and Kristina and brought up the fire at Charlie's that could've killed Kristina. Sonny didn't think there was any misunderstanding, and he knew exactly what Sidwell's intentions were. Sidewell wanted both men to do business in Port Charles, but Sonny asserted that Kristina's pub burning down wouldn't go unanswered.

Danny and Rocco met up with Charlotte at Bobbie's, and they discussed her visit to Valentin in prison. Charlotte asked Rocco to tell Danny what her father warned her about before she left. He said Valentine told her not to trust Britt, and Danny wanted to know why. She didn't understand his motives, but Danny questioned if Valen had his own agenda. Charlotte defended her father's warning, which got Rocco to at least consider being more careful around Britt. Danny realized Rocco wouldn't cease his visits with Britt, and Rocco confirmed. He wasn't going to stop.

Emma spotted Danny, Rocco, and Charlotte across the diner, and she pitched them an idea to take down Dalton. They were all in to take down Dalton once and for all.

Drew met back up with Marty, and he explained how the Quartermaines turned Ronnie against him. Drew explained his viewpoint about the family and stated, "I'm going to take it from her, and from all of them, and I'm not going to be satisfied until all of them have to drive past the gate, and know that I'm inside, and they're not." He thought he was close to getting Ronnie to view him in the same way as Monica. However, Marty urged him to let him give it the college try because he had a way of getting Ronnie to agree.
