General Hospital recap for Tuesday, March 14, 2023. In today’s GH episode, Dex is back in the middle of Pikeman, Anna tries to calm Lucy’s worries about the Ball, and Maxie tries securing the Metro Court for the event.
We also have Monday’s GH recap where Mac and Felicia helped Kevin through his struggle with his guilt over grieving, Dex got shot, and Dante learned Cody’s secret.
In the warehouse, Sonny tells Dex he’s determined to find out who the guy who shot at them was.
He shakes the shooter awake and demands to know who he was working for.
The shooter says he was a contractor and the deal was anonymous. Brick brings the mob doctor and Sonny orders him to keep the shooter alive.
The shooter dies. Sonny is miffed and tells the doctor to sort out Dex’s wound.
Once Dex steps away, Brick asks his boss why Dex is always getting shot.
Dex is fine and gets bandaged up. Sonny tells Brick to find out who hired the shooter.
Brick goes through the dead guy’s pockets. There aren’t many clues.
Dex recognizes the matchbook as being from the Highsider.
“Kid might be useful after all,” Brick grudgingly admits. Sonny reminds him he just saved his life.
Once Brick leaves, Sonny tells Tony to help Dex get rid of the body. Dex nearly collapses when he bends over to pick up the corpse. He swoons into Sonny’s arms.
The boss tells him to take it easy and drink some water. They speculate on the shooting.
Sonny thinks it’s amazing that he was going to keep him out of the Pikeman deal and now he’s in the middle of it. He’s taking him back to his place.
Brick returns after checking the data on the shooter’s phone and rifle. They are both from a ghost. He’s sure that whoever hired him is a powerful enemy.
Sonny says that whoever it is will be very sorry.
Finn joins Victor in an exam room at General Hospital.
He’s identified the pathogen in his system.
The doctor explains it’s not that simple. It’s uncommon for a pathogen to cause such a localized and specific response. The pathogen seems to have a mission.
Finn explains that it’s an obligate pathogen and it’s likely that he was given it by an enemy.
Research in this area is limited and the damage done to him is not known to be reversible.
At the Metro Court, Felicia gives Mac champagne to toast to him making up with Kevin. She’s surprised that Cody encouraged him to speak to his friend.
He explains that things were going well with Cody until he suddenly clammed up.
He adds that Cody has been selling plasma and has been seen with Selina Wu.
She suggests that they help him.
Mac says Cody isn’t family but she has a strange feeling about that.
Laura tells Drew that she can’t give up Valentin’s stake in ELQ. He assumes something is up.
She says it’s too soon to make any major decisions about Charlotte’s inheritance. He understands. She says whatever happens with the shares aren’t up to her.
Laura joins Mac and Felicia. He tells her that he and Kevin had a good talk.
They notice Victor arriving at the bar. As he orders a drink, he thinks about how he may have been drugged. He orders a fresh bottle.
Mac storms over and asks why he’s been avoiding the PCPD’s questions about Nikolas’ disappearance.
Victor claims he’s been busy. Mac asks if he’s hiding Nikolas. Victor drinks. The cop threatens to haul him in for obstruction. The Cassadine tells him to contact his attorney if he has questions.
On his way out, Victor flashes back to one of Laura’s threats. “It was you,” he accuses her. He tells her she will pay dearly.
She’s struck the first blow and now they both have everything to lose.
At the safe house, Anna and Valentin think they should plant false codes in the report Victor asked Ashby for. He thinks the way her mind works is sexy and scary.
Before they can make out, Lucy stomps in, panicking that the Ball will be ruined without her. The llama situation will be a disaster.
Screaming, Lucy is frustrated that she’s stuck there for the 60th anniversary.
After she storms off, Anna tells Valentin how beautiful the Ball is and how central Lucy has always been to it.
She wishes Lucy could trust Maxie and Bobbie.
Lucy returns and tells them the Metro Court is booked up for the next five months.
They’re sure Maxie can figure something out.
Anna reminds her that it’s the mission of the Ball that’s important.
She’s sure it will be celebrated, even without Lucy’s brand of pizazz.
They remind her that she can’t risk being seen. The Ball will have to do without her.
Anna orders her to follow orders and zip it.
