Valentin Discovers Anna Has Been Deceptive, and Sasha Freaks Out About Conservatorship

General Hospital recap for Wednesday, August 31, 2022. In today’s GH episode, Carly and Drew discuss their potential, Anna probes Victor about Valentin, and Nikolas gives Liz an alibi.

We also have Tuesday’s GH recap where Jordan launched an investigation into Ava’s stabbing as Victor and Nikolas tried to figure out who to protect and Nikolas refused to answer questions.

In her kitchen, Carly tells Drew that there was a lot to love about what happened between them yesterday. It was smooth and easy. It felt right until it didn’t.

ABC

She’s scared of how it could end. That doesn’t make sense to him. She worries he doesn’t know her and she doesn’t know herself.

Drew thinks she’s full of crap. If anyone knows themselves, it’s her. She explains that outside of her kids, everything that used to define her is gone. She lost her hotel, Jason, and Sonny.

He tells her that Sonny’s experience changed him. The person who got screwed in all that was her. That’s something he can understand because he changed when he came back from Afghanistan.

ABC

Drew knows that she spent a lot of her life in a hard marriage. Now that’s gone and it’s a big loss.

Wiping away tears, Carly says she feels like she’s been screaming that and no one could hear her. It’s nice that someone is giving her credit for it. He jokes he got her a trophy. She thanks him.

She has to figure out who she is now before they can get into a relationship. Jeopardizing her hotel with a knee jerk reaction upset her life. She worries about messing things up with him.

ABC

Carly thinks she’s sexy but she can’t give into him right now. When she comes to him, it has to be for the right reasons. She has to find out who she is without Sonny and Jason.

“I have to try this on my own thing for awhile,” she says. He looks forward to meeting whoever that is, but he doesn’t think that’s what this is about.

He’s sure some of what she said is true, but there’s something that scares her. “You don’t have to be afraid of me,” he says, kissing her. Drew walks out.

ABC

At the hospital, Sasha vents to Brando about what Smoltz did to her. He says that focusing on that is counterproductive. They need to focus on her getting better so they can be together.

ABC

Dr. Ruben invites them into her office. They sit down and the doctor explains that this is Sasha’s best option to insure her freedom. If she agrees, they can ask the court to appoint Brando as her guardian.

Sasha doesn’t want to be treated like a child. Her husband thinks this could keep her out of jail. She accuses him of no longer believing in her.

The doctor gets between them and points out Sasha can either choose conservatorship or prison. Sasha can’t stand someone being in-charge of her. They point out it would be better than prison.

She storms out.

GH opinions


Outside of Ava’s room, Spencer vents to Trina about his father’s selfishness. His eyes have been opened about who he really is.

She strokes his arm and says they can talk about it. He pulls away and says it’s not her problem anymore.

In Ava’s room, Nikolas tells her he hates to see her suffer like this. As he stands to adjust her pillows, Trina walks in and wonders what he’s doing.

He wanders over to her and says he’s glad she’s there. Unfortunately, Ava had a lot of enemies so finding out who did this to her might be hard. It must have been someone who hates her very much.

As he leaves, she says it could also have been someone who used to love her.

Trina sits by Ava’s side and wishes she could change things. She would never change being her friend and begs her to open her eyes. “I don’t know how to do this without you,” she sobs.

ABC

In Finn’s office, Jordan questions Liz and Finn about what happened last night. Liz is reluctant to say much. Finn stutters through a recap of the previous night and all the people who can corroborate his actions.

ABC

The cop turns to questioning Liz. The nurse can’t account for her exact whereabouts. Finn suggests they should call a lawyer. Jordan just wants to try and eliminate them from suspicion.

Nikolas swans in and gives Liz and alibi. He flashes back to finding her after she blacked out. The prince explains that was right around the time Ava was attacked.

Jordan says that seems to tie up nicely but they may need to speak again. After she exits, Finn closes the door and asks what that was all about. He gets no explanation.

After the doctor is called away, Liz asks the Cassadine why he covered for her. He knows she didn’t attack Ava and he cares about her. Besides, the cops shouldn’t be wasting energy looking at her.

He exits as Finn returns. He assumes Nikolas is trying to help himself more than her.

Lucy visits Valentin in his room. They talk about Sasha’s position in Deception. She admits that her partners are reluctant to push her out. Valentin doesn’t see how this is any of his business.

ABC

The topic quickly turns to Martin. He reminds her that she wasn’t worrying about her boyfriend when Victor was fawning over her at the picnic.

Lucy insists that it was an innocent exchange. He finds that hard to believe. She’s adamant that her loyalty to Martin has not wavered.

If that’s true, he assumes that she was trying to get information from Victor. She recalls Anna blackmailing her into doing that and then encourages him to forget about this.

After Lucy leaves, Valentin stalks out.

Sitting by the pool, Anna tells Victor how much has changed with Valentin since his convalescence. He suggests that Valentin has learned that he has family and is not alone.

He urges her not to doubt the loyalty among the Cassadines. She points out he and his son were barely on speaking terms a few months ago. Anna wonders what changed.

She doesn’t get an explanation. They chat about Charlotte and he tells her that she can hardly drag herself away from the equestrian program. Something clicks for her.

ABC

Once Victor is gone, Lucy wanders by and Anna starts quizzing her. Lucy refuses to go along with her demands so Anna repeats her threats about Martin.

Valentin eavesdrops on this before confronting her once Lucy is gone.

Sasha arrives at the pool. When someone notices her as the face of Deception, Sasha asks if she wants a picture.

Victor heads to the hospital and finds Spencer outside Ava’s room. Jordan pops up and says that she’s received a tip about where Spencer was when someone was trying to kill his stepmother.

The cop explains he was seen being sick when the attack happened. Given his state, he wouldn’t be a reliable witness either.

“Apparently that runs in the family,” she snipes as Nikolas wanders over. He loses it on the commissioner.

Victor points out the cops seem to be doing everything other than capturing the culprit.

Jordan claims they may be closer than they think.

Ava’s machines start beeping.
