Victor Plots to Kill Someone Else After Discovering Who Anna is Working With & Cody Agrees to a DNA Test

General Hospital recap for Monday, October 17, 2022. In today’s GH episode, Anna is annoyed when Lucy refuses to back down, Victor offers Valentin a reward for his loyalty, and Payton apologizes to Carly.

We also have Friday’s GH recap where Victor planted a bug on Lucy and she accidentally exposed Anna, and Carly’s plan to stop the road failed.

In Jacksonville, Payton tells Carly that she failed, and the road won’t be re-routed. She tells Carly they aren’t finished by a longshot. Carly says that she can see her as a small-minded snob.

Payton stops her by saying she came to apologize. After seeing how much she loved her mother at the Guild meeting, she realized she treated her unfairly. She didn’t know that Virginia was buried in that cemetery.

She’s held onto her anger for a long while, but never should have blamed her. She’s ashamed of her actions and is desperately sorry.

Hearing her speak reminded her of when she was her daughter’s bestfriend. She’ll always regret many of her mistakes and wishes she’d done better by her daughter and by her.

Carly says they can’t change the pass but they can make peace with it and move forward. Payton explains she tried to talk the Guild out of voting the way they did, but it would have cost too much.

Before Payton can leave, Carly tells her she deserved better just as she and Reese did.

After Payton exits, Carly’s jaw drops. She gets some wine and sits down.

Bobbie stops by Drew’s room. She tells him her daughter is putting up a brave front but they both know her better than that. Bobbie thinks this is all hitting Carly harder than she’s letting on.

They recap the whole situation. She thinks he knows her daughter as well as she does. She also thinks they have become way more than just friends.

He admits she means a lot to him. When he returned to Port Charles, she was his constant while everything else in his life was changing.

She urges him to treasure such a rare friendship. She’s glad he’s in her daughter’s life. So is he.

Once she leaves, he gets a call informing him of the Guild vote.

Drew goes down to the dining room and finds Carly sobbing into her glass. She tells him Payton apologized. That mattered more than she wants to admit.

As a kid, she always craved her approval. She admits that she was a rotten daughter to Virginia. She never appreciated her or gave her anything she deserved.

He suggests they gran some beers and figure this out at the beach. Carly has another idea.

He says it’s about his father and is startled when it’s clear she knows about this already. Britt can understand why this is messing with his head and, given the circumstances, is will to let him ghosting her go.

Cody finds it hard to talk about his messy feelings with someone as intimidating as her. He doesn’t know where to start.

When they step outside, she asks why he won’t get a DNA test. He explains that everyone goes on about how great Mac is. It makes him uncomfortable because he has a sketchy background.

Cody admits he’s afraid of being rejected. If there was something that could blow his whole life up, wouldn’t he be better off not knowing?

She knows how he feels. She’s lived in her father’s shadow her whole life. But she either had to live in the dark or face her fears.

No one is saying he has to have a relationship with Mac, but at least he’ll be able to make a choice.

Mac and Felicia meet with Scott at the Metro Court to discuss Dominique and her son. They tell the lawyer they suspect Cody is Mac’s son. The timing fits.

Scott sighs as they explain how they think this could have played out. He says that Dominique never even hinted that something like this could be possible.

The lawyer tells them that Cody is bad news and they shouldn’t want anything to do with him. He reminds them that the stable hand sucker punched him.

Felicia is sure he needs time to adjust. Scott still thinks he’s a grifter but Mac refuses to rush to judgement.

Cody calls Mac and agrees to the DNA test. Felicia is thrilled but Scott thinks this will come back to bite them.

Back outside Kelly’s, Cody tells Britt she was right. He needs to know the truth.

She says most people do the opposite of her advice. She should take her own. There’s something she needs to deal with.
