Welcome to the General Hospital Daily Y.A.P.P. (Your After-Program Ponderings) for a quick — and by that, I mean you’re already halfway done — recap of the most amazing or what-the-heck-did-we-just-watch moments on today’s episode. Let’s get to it:

What happened on General Hospital

While we applaud General Hospital for remembering that Michael was also a victim of a fire earlier this year, the fire at Charlie's made no sense logistically. In fact, it was so confusing that Kristina doesn't even know what happened. When she explained it all to Sonny, Jason, and Dante, what she described was not quite what actually happened. Kristina said that she saw someone throw something through the window that burst into flames, so she stepped behind the bar to get the fire extinguisher. However, she was already behind the bar when the fire began. In fact, it was so small at first that she didn't even need to get the fire extinguisher. What she needed to do was run fast. She came in through the back door, and there were literally no flames there when Kristina started using the extinguisher. It was an easy out that Kristina could have taken, but instead, she stared at the fire for a few minutes, and apparently didn't remember the sequence of events. She also wondered if it could have been caused by a gas leak, but she saw the flames fly through the broken window. She also felt the gasoline on the floor beforehand, which would not have been there due to a gas leak. We know Kristina is a little off-kilter, but either GH forgot what happened from one episode to the next or Kristina is more far gone than we thought.
