General Hospital recap for Wednesday, May 31, 2023. In today’s GH episode, Joss and Michael bicker about Sonny, Gregory helps Alexis at The Invader, and Sonny and Nina plan their wedding.
We also have Tuesday’s GH recap where Victor’s will was read and a mysterious finger was left to his enemies, and Trina got the results of the DNA test.
Startled Alexis walks into her office and finds Esme hyperventilating with Gregory.
He explains he came to put out some fires. Esme inadvertently sent an email from a source to everyone in the address book.
He assures Alexis that he’s handled it and everything is fine. Alexis hopes that Esme can learn from her mistakes and orders her to clock out.
Esme runs. Gregory explains how they covered everything and she appreciates him coming in to handle this.
She’s surprised to see him since he’s been ghosting her. He’s sorry about that.
When he was diagnosed with ALS, he just didn’t want to be a burden on anyone. She was afraid of disregarding his boundaries.
He says her texts have made him realize how much he needs a friend. She’s glad they can be friends.
She thanks him again for his help. He’s missed it…and her. She asks if he refused her job offer because of his illness.
She promises to keep it quiet and says he’s proven that he can handle it. The job is still open. He smiles.
At Laura’s penthouse, Spencer stares at the box that Victor left him. Ava wonders if it’s a bomb and Laura tells him he doesn’t have to open it.
Anna arrives. The executor asks her to take a seat and restarts the Victor video. He announces his gift to Nikolas, reminding everyone of how they worked together.
The gift is given to Spencer to take care of. It is in an envelope.
To his old enemy Anna, he leaves the truth. And to Laura, he tells her that she’s won their game and he leaves her to live her life in peace with his respect.
The executor ends the reading and leaves. They prompt Spencer to open the envelope.
The contents are in Russian so they ask Anna to read it. It’s a deed.
Anna is disoriented. They ask her what the “truth” is and she claims it’s just a mind game and probably shouldn’t be taken at face value.
Flustered, Anna exits.
Spencer looks up the deed. It’s a property in Chechnya.
Esme arrives, annoyed to see that Ace has been put to sleep without his blanket.
After she runs off, they wonder what the property is for. Maybe it’s where Nikolas is hiding?
Esme returns and they announce they might know where Nikolas is. Laura thinks they can find him and bring him home.
Ava warns mayor not to go on a wild goose chase. She may be disappointed. Laura can’t sit around wondering.
Spencer goes to his room and opens the box. It contains the doves he was going to give Trina. Under them is a key.
At home, Curtis and Portia tell Stella that Trina’s DNA results are in. Marshall tells the married couple to get over to the hospital.
Curtis can hardly believe that he’ll soon know whether or not he’s a father. Stella says they will all be there for him.
Curtis insists that Portia come with him, although she doesn’t think her daughter will want her there.
Once the couple are gone, Marshall tells Stella to eat his gumbo and leave everyone else room to deal with what’s happening. She worries her nephew still wants nothing to do with her.
He reminds her that she raised Curtis to be forgiving. He’s forgiven him and Portia so Curtis can definitely forgive her.
Marshall thanks her for being there for his sons when he couldn’t be. They sit down to eat and he gets her to say grace.
