On today’s General Hospital, Felicia runs into Carly at the hotel, who tells her she’s got plans — right as Jack shows up, grinning. He greets them, to Felicia’s annoyance, so he and Carly sit down while “Miss Scorpio” glares. Carly assures Brennan she won’t be swayed from him.
Then gets a message with Joss’ stellar WSB test results, while Carly chuckles that she’s going to check on what her daughter’s doing on Easter Island. Brennan casually asks how she’s doing, and Carly says she’s having a blast. “I’m really glad everything’s working out.”

He offers to take Carly to Paris for dinner over the weekend — on the WSB’s dime. But then a woman walks in, teasing Jack that he doesn’t call or write. He introduces Vivian to Carly, who’s happy to meet the owner of the hotel, then chides Jack to use her number and call her. After she leaves, Carly storms off.

Jason Gets a Lead On Charlotte

Jason and Anna are fighting over Sidwell, with the commissioner telling him she’ll handle the crime boss. Then she says she needs Jason’s help to find Charlotte — the time to find her and Valentin is now, leads or not. She fills him in on the Carly/Brennan/Valentin confrontation; Anna’s worried about Charlotte being collateral damage in the WSB war with her dad. Jason assures Anna that if anything comes up, he’ll be ready to go.

Danny comes down to the kitchen to find Rocco distracted on his phone — Charlotte just texted from Buenos Aires. Last time he told his mom, Lulu almost got shot for nothing because Charlotte didn’t want to leave Valentin. He doesn’t know what to do. He’s worried about losing his mom, but also worried about Charlotte. That’s when Jason walks in and Danny thrusts the phone in his face saying they know where Charlotte is.

Jason tells the boys he’ll go handle it and bring Charlotte back. Just keep Lulu out of it. As soon as he’s gone, Rocco blows up at a smug Danny. “How could you do that?! You had no right to tell your dad!” Outside, Jason calls Anna to tell her he’s heading over to her — he got a lead.

Portia Asks Ava For Help

Portia rushes to Ava saying she made a terrible mistake and needs help. Brad’s had her over a barrel holding the truth of Heather’s results over her, and now word got to Drew. She lays out the new blackmail scheme, but says that’s not the real problem. Curtis doesn’t know Brad’s been blackmailing her and she’s afraid to tell him she’s been keeping a secret.

Ava points out there’s no real choice, but Portia frets she’s already given a second chance by Curtis. Ava suggests she might feel better if she just tells Curtis the truth — no matter what. She then suggests Portia talk to Ric about this. In the meantime, just let Drew think he’s won. Keep the secret and minimize manipulating Curtis.

Anna Tells Felicia to Butt Out

Anna rushes over to Felicia asking what’s going on and when her friend points to Brennan and Carly, she’s a bit put out. Felicia points out that Bobbie wouldn’t want Carly anywhere near Jack and pumps info for Anna on the WSB agent. Anna lays out his ruthlessness, brilliance and charm, then says there’s nothing to do about it. Carly’s a grown woman who never listens to anyone, anyway.

They both agree they need drinks and Anna opens up about worrying over Charlotte’s safety. Felicia tells her to do something then. There’s no one better than her to get it done.

Cody and Dante Freak Lois Out

In the tack house, Cody’s prodding Dante about coming clean to Lulu about his summer with Brook Lynn. “It’s not like anything came of it.” Before Cody can say anything more, Emma and Gio pop in to see the horses. As the guys are reminiscing about camp, Lois walks in, looking like a deer in the headlights when Dante mentions those days. “Oh yeah.” She rushes out before they can ask too many questions about camp, saying she just wanted to warm up.

Emma does a good job of changing the topic herself, asking Cody how working at Deception was. It was great, but he never got comfortable in front of the camera. Unlike Gio! Dante mentions that he just loves making music — just like Brook Lynn. “Must be a family trait,” Cody mentions for no particular reason.

They talk about her singing days, a bit, then Emma heads out and Gio walks her to her car. “What do you think of those two?” Cody grins, then says he’ll look out for Gio. Dante bemoans the day Rocco falls in love, and when Cody says he’ll guide him, Dante drops: “No son of mine will ever get love advice from you!”

Maxie Distracts Martin — By Hiring Him!

Outside his hotel room, Maxie tries getting Martin to reconnect with Lucy, because Deception’s been suffering since they broke up. He demands to know what’s going on and Maxie tries to drag him off to her office. He’s got a headache and starts to go in, only for Maxie to jump in front of the door saying she wants to hire him for nuisance lawsuits.

He’s not onboard until she mentions “billable hours” and Martin happily goes with Maxie. Instead of her office, they head down to the bar, where he wants to know why this was so urgent. Maxie checks her phone, telling Lulu to hurry the hell up and, ultimately, talks Martin into joining Deception. As he’s leaving, she spills wine, asking him for club soda, stat!

Lulu Learns the Truth

Inside Martin’s room, Lulu’s going through his papers and finds Dante’s the father of Brook Lynn’s child, nearly hyperventilating at the news. She’s snapping photos when Lois shows up at the door looking for Martin. She sighs after a few moments and storms off, so Lulu stuffs the papers back in Martin’s case and slips out of the room.

More: Jason and Brennan’s past connection!

Lulu then heads over to the tack house, where Cody’s alone once again and sends Maxie an “All clear” text as she mulls over Martin’s papers. Maxie gets the text and shoos a surprised Martin away, who runs smack into Lois as he’s heading out. She drags him up to her room as Felicia sits down to ask Maxie what that was all about.

Lulu Tricks Cody

In the show’s final moments, Rocco and Danny are fighting when Dante rushes in, wanting to know what’s going on. Rocco makes up a story about Danny telling a girl he liked how he felt and the two talk in code about what happened. Dante encourages them to make peace and listen to each other next time, so the boys shake.

Up in his room, a panicked Lois tells Martin that she just walked in on Dante and Cody talking about camp. She wants the notes back because it’s too risky. He pulls them out, noticing something’s off, but pretends all is fine and hands the papers over. Lois asks for matches or a lighter.
Lulu, meanwhile, pumps Cody for information on how Dante was back in high school, then tricks Cody into thinking Brook Lynn told her about “that summer.” Cody buys it, filling in the gaps for Lulu. He promised her he’d never tell anyone and he never did.

Jason and Anna Leave to Get Charlotte

Portia’s sick at the thought of being tied to Drew. There’s no easy solution. “Unless Drew’s dead.” Ava encourages her to talk to Ric and tells Portia it comes down to whether losing Curtis or doing Drew’s bidding is more awful.

Jason gets to Anna and the two rush off to Buenos Aires. “We’ll get her back,” Jason says as the elevator doors close.

Out at the docks, Carly is bashing herself for being stupid, but Brennan follows her and Carly reluctantly says they’re feeling two different things and asks him to leave. He should be with someone fun without strings like Vivian. She was silly to think something else was going on between them. There is, he tells her. He doesn’t want to let her go. But then he gets a text and Carly just sighs at him to take it. It’s from a private number saying Charlotte is in Buenos Aires.
