Monday, July 3, 2023, full episode recap of GH: Carly and Sam discuss Drew’s departure, Willow is cleared to leave the hospital, and Sonny and Gladys talk the Sasha situation.
Friday’s GH recap: After sex, Ava chased Austin out, Esme and Spencer shared a laugh, while Curtis warned Zeke to stay out of his life.
Sam shows up at Carly’s and tells her she just took Scout to say goodbye to Drew. She’s spent an hour consoling her since he’s going to prison today.
Carly wants her to be honest with how she feels about this. Sam is pretty angry and wishes Drew made a different choice. So does Carly.
They both know he is sacrificing himself because of her. Sam blamed her at first but realized she was just trying to help Michael and Drew.
It means a lot to Carly to hear her say that. Sam says this all proves how much Drew cares about her.
The blonde is already missing him and gets her some coffee. As she does, Sam accidentally knocks over the paperwork on her fines.
Sam prompts her to talk about her problems. It’s hard for Carly to wrap her head around how much she’s lost in the past two years.
She’s also going to be broke soon. What really annoys her is that they are in this position because of spite.
Sam says there are people who can help her but Carly doesn’t want any hand-outs. They talk about how self-reliant they are and Sam adds it’s okay to ask for help.
Carly says she’s risen from the ashes before and Sam is sure she will think of something. Carly gets inspired.
Drew stops by Sonny’s penthouse after saying goodbye to Scout. He brought by Neddie’s guitar, hoping it will help jog his memory.
The mobster thanks him for taking responsibility since he knows the Feds wanted him to flip on him. Drew says that wasn’t even something he would consider.
Sonny says his guys in Pentonville will keep his eyes on him. That can only go so far so he’ll still have to keep his eyes open.
Dante finds Mac in Jordan’s office. He’s interim commissioner until someone else is appointed. He explains that the case against Cody has fallen apart.
Mac beats himself up about arresting someone he thought was his son. Dante flashes back to his friend telling him about screwing up dealing with the DNA results.
Mac wants to tell Cody the good news himself.
At General Hospital, Sasha gets an email saying the jewelers have dropped the charges against Cody. She assumes Gladys knows why.
Gladys explains a waiter randomly slipped the necklace into Cody’s pocket. Sasha asks her to admit she’s been wrong about him all along.
Her mother-in-law concedes it and asks for forgiveness. Sasha says it was all a big misunderstanding.
Dr. Montague calls Sasha into his office.
She and the doctor talk. He needs her to be honest. She insists work is going well and she’s stable. He senses she’s anxious about something.
Sasha says she’s just worried about being there for her friends, recovering her relationships, the work life balance, etc. That all sounds normal to him.
He suggests she try meditating every day and gets her a mild sedative. She reminds him that she has a history of drug abuse. He says it will be monitored and so shouldn’t be habit forming…unless she doesn’t think she’s in control.
As he walks her out, he tells her about the wellness plan.
Gladys stops by the penthouse to talk to Sonny about Sasha. He thinks that her attitude is realistic.
If Sasha is ready and the doctor and judge agree, they have to stay out of her way.
She remains unconvinced but he says it’s not up to her anymore and shows her the door.
Once she gets in the hall, she calls Dr. Montague and he informs her that her daughter is on a new prescription plan. If she’s having any second thoughts, they need to stop now.
Gladys says this is her last move.
Michael joins Willow in her room. They hope for good news on her latest test results. TJ arrives and announces there is life changing news.
He goes over all her counts and the markers show that the engraftment has happened and the transplant was a success.
Michael and Willow are thrilled. The doctor explains it will be a year before they are really sure she’s in remission. But she can be discharged in a couple of hours.
She’s excited to get back to her own bed but her husband says it’s not a good idea. He thinks the house needs to be prepared. Willow thinks they can stay somewhere else.
Michael worries they need to be careful, especially with kids. The doctor agrees that her immune system is extremely weak.
She realizes she’ll have to remain isolated. TJ says they need to be cautious and limit her contacts. They agree to follow all the instructions.
They thank him for how invaluable he has been throughout this ordeal. Once he’s gone, Willow laughs and says they might get their happily ever after.
Michael calls to have house cleaned and they go over the visitors list and TJ drops off the discharge papers.
Once they are alone, Willow tells her husband she wants Nina in her bubble, but he might not be happy about that.

Once he’s shown to his cell, Cyrus stops by to say it might not be the Metro Court, but it’s a step up from his cell on the Greek island.
Cyrus starts quoting scripture and suggests his group would benefit from his presence. When he heard he was headed for the prison, he knew his place would be with them.
Renault thinks he could help restore hope and hands him a book of prayers. Drew finally realizes that he’s Laura’s brother, Cyrus and starts listing his crimes before handing back his book.
