Friday, August 25 GH recap: Gregory tells Liz he has ALS, Kristina vents to Willow about the surrogacy situation, and Alexis questions Molly’s surrogate.
Thursday’s GH recap: Cody asked Sam to get him into Ferncliff, Gladys flipped out after Deception’s assets were frozen, and Portia moped about Curtis.
On the phone, BLQ is furious when she learns what’s happened with Deception.
Finn and Tracy sit down to play backgammon. She reminds him of how far ahead she is. They chat about his father and she admits she had dinner with him. The food is better now that Carly isn’t running things. She also noticed his father isn’t well.
He asks her not to ask because he doesn’t want to lie to her.
They talk about Ned and then about Chase.
When he mentions his brother thinks she’s stopping BLQ from doing music, she asks him not to ask about that.
They mull over things to discuss. He brings up Luke.
That is hard for her to talk about.
She forgets he’s gone. It’s impossible to wrap her head around him not being there to drive her crazy.
She’s at loose ends and focusing on business.
He guesses she doesn’t want to discuss that.
BLQ shows up and throws their backgammon board on the floor.
The doctor runs away and BLQ demands to know why Tracy went after her friends.
Tracy explains that Lucy stole The Deceptor plans from a company she’s working with.
Her granddaughter wonders why she has this vendetta against Lucy.
BLQ lectures her. Tracy is unimpressed. She’s determined to weaken Deception so that it will be ripe for a hostile takeover. Appalled, BLQ stomps off.
Liz is surprised when perky Willow shows up at General Hospital, declaring she’s ready to get back to work.
Liz can’t wait to have her back but they have to wait until her doctors agree.
That’s why she’s there.
After Willow skips off, Gregory shows up. He wants a word with her.
When she goes on break, they sit down. He apologizes because he has been keeping something from her. Gregory explains that he fell while he was looking after Violet.
He announces that he has ALS and hasn’t found the strength to tell Chase yet.
He’s worried that Finn will act like his doctor and son and will forget how to feel.
He’ll need Liz to keep him in touch with his feelings. Knowing Finn has her makes him dread what will happen a little less.
She admires his strength for facing this alone for months.
He’s still afraid to tell Chase.
It keeps hitting him that he is really going to die.
The nurse tells him there are good days ahead and she will help him enjoy them.
As they hug, Finn watches them.
In the stables, Sam tells Cody this is a terrible plan.
She won’t commit him. He suggests she become his medical executor.
She still thinks this is a bad idea. Plus, it will make Sasha worse.
She reminds him that Sasha had a psychotic break.
He repeats that he’s sure Gladys is behind this.
Sam points out that if he gets in, Sasha might attack him again. Is he willing to risk traumatizing her more?
He’s sure nothing could be more traumatic for her than being stuck in Ferncliff.
The cowboy recounts her history of mental illness and the strange timing of her latest breakdown.
He’s sure that Gladys is a gambling addict and a liar.
Is she going to leave Sasha to rot in Ferncliff or is she going to help him? With some prodding, Sam finally gives in and agrees to have him committed.
