Jason brings the drunk Britt back to her room above Bobbie’s, where she stumbles around. Britt’s phone keeps ringing, so she asks him to go out in the hall and give her some privacy, which he does.

Joss helps Britt GH

When Britt ends up tumbling and falling, trying to give herself an injection, Jason bursts in to check on her.  She cries to him, and he helps her up and to her bed. He brings her her meds, but her hands aren’t steady enough to give herself an injection, so Jason has to give her the shot.

Friends Catch Up

Joss sneaks into her apartment, unfortunately waking Trina. The clearly poorly trained WSB spy says she was going to sneak out to spend the night elsewhere because she saw Kai was here, but Trina demands that Joss tell her what is really going on.

They sit down, and Joss admits that after running into Vaughn at The Brown Dog, they slept together, and now he’s ghosting her. She did this to herself. Joss then gets a text from Brennan to meet, and she tells her friend that she has to go.

Kai and Trina snuggle GH

After Joss leaves, Kai comes out and talks to Trina. She admits, despite everything going on with her parent, she’s happy because of him. Kai’s happy too and won’t throw away the second chance she gave him.

A Small Thanksgiving

Carly and Brennan spent Thanksgiving at her house, along with the now-departed Joss. Brennan feels like it wasn’t much of a holiday compared to last year and fears that it has to do with him. She insists it has nothing to do with him; everyone else had plans elsewhere. Brennan still thinks there is someone else she wishes were here, and Carly admits she missed Lucas. However, she’s the reason he didn’t show up.

Carly and Jack's holiday GH

Brennan wishes he could stay for a quiet night with her, but work beckons. He leaves, and Carly lets her guard down and takes a deep breath. She thinks about her last meeting with Valentin and their working together to take down Jack.

Is Vaughn Really Gone?

In Jack’s office, he meets with Joss and realizes she gave Emma and Gio the address to Dalton’s second lab. Joss says the WSB found nothing at that lab, except suffering animals, so she saw nothing wrong with helping to save them. Brennan says it was against protocol, and he should have had her transferred for continuing to see Vaughn when ordered not to.

Joss and Jack argue GH

Joss asks where Vaughn is. Jack says he’s far away and has orders not to contact her. He says the only reason she hasn’t been transferred… Joss blurts out, “Because you are sleeping with my mom!”

Jack warns her she’s crossing a line, but she says he’s doing the same, using her and her family for his cause. Jack says Sidwell is about to acquire very dangerous tech, and Joss blurts out that she knows, and they need to destroy it. Jack reveals the WSB wants it, prompting Joss to ask, “For what?”

Can Carly and Lucas Repair Their Relationship?

Felicia stops by the hospital to see Lucas and thanks him for arranging a great care facility for Maxie, whom the family has just seen.

Carly soon arrives with a wrapped plate and finds Felicia with Lucas. Carly tells Felicia that Maxie has been in her thoughts lately. Felicia thanks her and leaves the siblings to talk.

Carly brought Lucas a leftover piece of pecan pie made by Joss, but he says he’s full. She tells her brother that she misses him and wanted to invite him tonight, but Lucas says he wouldn’t have come as he knew she wouldn’t have invited Marco. They rehash their issues, and Carly’s distrust of Marco.

Lucas and Carly fight GH

Lucas says he will always love her, but she needs to accept that Marco is in his life. Until then, he needs space from her. She understands, and she loves him too. She gives him the pie, tells him to call her if he ever needs something, and takes off.

Sidwell Blackmails Everyone!

Sidwell shows up at Sonny’s house, stating it is urgent and that he wants to clarify some things before Sonny makes the mistake of killing him. He hands over the photo of Sonny and Laura with the very dead Dalton. Sidwell tells Sonny not to deny it, as he was seen there by a local cop. Sidwell says he has more than enough to put him and the mayor away. He tells Sonny he wants his piers and his full cooperation.

Sidwell blackmails Sonny GH

Sonny asks what else he wants. Sidwell says nothing for now, but if anything happens to him or Marco, the photos and gun go to the PCPD, and the gun is covered in Laura’s DNA. Sidwell gloats that he has both Laura and Sonny in his pocket, and he knows the two of them are loyal to one another and won’t let the other go down.

Laura’s Haunted

Laura is home when there is a knock at the door, and it’s her dear brother Cyrus, who dropped by for Thanksgiving. Yes, this is a dream sequence, or a nightmare! Cyrus knew she needed him and brought her a gift. He opens a box, and inside is the gun that killed Dalton. He says she can take it to the police, confess, and take responsibility. She cries that she didn’t kill Dalton!

Cyrus and Laura haunting GH

That’s when Esme walks down the stairs and says, “Take responsibility, that’s what you always told me!” Esme cries, “I lost my child, my mind, my life because of you!” Esme says that she’s come to take Ace, as Laura is a liar and an unfit parent. Cyrus says he always told Laura they were more alike. That’s when Laura wakes up from her nightmare. (Man, I was really expecting Victor Cassadine to show up as well!)

Esme haunts Laura GH

Kevin returns home, and Laura cries to her husband that she’s in trouble. She tells him about Jenz’s visit and blackmail, along with her nightmare of Esme and Cyrus telling her to confess. Kevin says she must think about the ramifications of coming forward, and she has to think about Ace. Laura cries. If it were just her, she’d take the chance that everyone would believe her about Sidwell, and she’d turn herself in. However, she can’t without implicating Sonny.

Kevin gives Laura advice GH

Laura says all Sidwell can get out of her are minor concessions, and if she stays ahead of him, she can mitigate the damage. Plus, whatever Sidwell wants from her will pale in comparison to what he wants from Sonny.

In the Show’s Final Moments

Jason tucks Britt, who ends up passing out, into her bed. Jason sits in a chair to keep an eye on her.

At the hospital, Felicia checks in on Lucas, who is staring at the slice of pie. She tells him that Bobbie was her best friend, she had a temper, and could hold a grudge. However, she also had a capacity for forgiveness, and Bobbie wouldn’t want him to give up on his sister.

Sonny talks to Laura GH

Sidwell tells Sonny to protect Laura, that he must protect him and Marco. He thanks Sonny for this meeting and walks out. Sonny then gets a call from Laura and assures her they’ll figure this out.

In his office, Jack tells Joss the WSB’s reasons for wanting this tech are classified, and he’s done everything he can to keep her safe. Jack then gets a call and exclaims, “Oh my god!”

Carly returns home, and it’s dark. She hears what sounds like someone outside at the patio door, so she grabs a fireplace poker. She approaches the patio, but a hand grabs her shoulder from behind. When she turns around, it’s a beaten Valentin, who says, “I told you we’d meet again!”

Valentin is back!

On the next General Hospital, Dante and Lulu are on high alert over the news of Valentin’s escape, knowing he will likely try to see Charlotte. Get more preview for the week ahead here.
