General Hospital recap for Monday, March 21, 2022. In today’s GH episode, Alexis tells Carly why she should run the story, Michael fights with Sonny, Shawn says goodbye, and Willow collapses.
We also have Friday’s GH recap where Michael was arrested for assault and Esme exploded at Spencer over Trina.
On the footbridge, Carly answers a call from Willow but she’s not there. Diane calls and informs her that Michael has been arrested for punching a reporter right in front of the police commissioner.
At the PCPD, Diane tells Michael that what he did didn’t help his sister. Because it is late, he will likely be arraigned tomorrow. He wonders how many times she’s been through this with Jason. The lawyer says it was in the triple digits. She may have been able to get him off, but he never punched a reporter in front of a cop.
Carly arrives and Michael fills her in on what happened. They talk about how the reporter could make things worse for Joss. She hopes Alexis can shut him down.
In her office, Alexis reads a note from Shawn until Smoltz wanders in and tells her he has a perfect story for The Invader. He tells her all about revenge porn, how they can play it politically, and that it involves the member of an influential mob family: Joss.
She begins lecturing him about his ability to handle this story. He tells her how easily the Corinthos name sells. Carly pops up and advises them to think twice about this. Smoltz asks how her son is doing in lock-up. Carly threatens to sue them and Alexis ushers the reporter out.
Carly tells Alexis that if she feels for Joss, she won’t run the story. The editor thinks that would be a mistake. She explains that what Joss and Cam are going through is terrible. It’s a big story and someone else will pick it up.
If The Invader picks it up first, they can frame the narrative and shape the way it is dealt with. If someone else does it, it will be trashy in comparison and she can give them the opportunity to discuss their experience.
Carly doesn’t want this to get worse. Alexis assures her she is on Joss’ side and she will not cover it if they prefer. But maybe Joss could find talking about this empowering. Carly offers to talk to her daughter and let her know.
TJ notices that Willow has collapsed on the floor of General Hospital. He shakes her until she wakes up and flashes a light in her eyes. He’s determined to admit her and calls her mom to tell her she fainted.
When he takes her to the nurses’ station, she checks her phone and sees Michael is at the PCPD. Epiphany tells her to do what she would tell a patient to do and obey the doctors by staying put.
Willow admits to Epiphany that she feels embarrassed. Laughing, Epiphany tells her how much once got sick by drinking too much coffee when she was in training. Willow is amazed such a great nurse could do that. They talk about how much they love nursing. Epiphany didn’t always want to do this but she loves caring for patients.
