General Hospital recap for Friday, June 2, 2023. In today’s GH episode, Dex turns down Joss’ request but says he loves her, Sonny confronts Ned, and Mason returns to taunt Ava and Austin.
We also have Thursday’s GH recap where Valentin offered to go to Chechnya with Laura, Joss asked Dex for the evidence against Sonny, and Anna was forced to resign after being exposed.
Dante and Sam relax by the Metro Court pool. She asks for a spritzer.
At the bar, Dante bumps into his father, who is looking for Nina. Sonny announces they are engaged and the cop congratulates him.
Sonny’s eyes narrow when he spots Ned and immediately heads over. He lays into her over Carly and starts threatening him.
Ned insists he didn’t go anything. Dante and Olivia get between them. They suggest they have this conversation somewhere in private.
Ned can understand the mob boss is angry, but it wasn’t him who tipped off the SEC.
He may have threatened Drew when he was angry, but it ended at that and he would never hurt Carly. Sonny isn’t won over. Olivia insists her husband isn’t guilty.
The mob boss backs down for Olivia’s sake. His son takes him aside and asks what that was. He shouldn’t do things like this in public because he might have to arrest him.
Sam joins them and Sonny says anyone could be using Carly to get to him.
Meanwhile, Olivia apologizes to Ned for doubting him. They kiss.
Jordan arrives at Curtis’ door. As she thinks of knocking, she recalls their kiss. He opens the door as she’s about to knock.
Once she enters, she wonders when he was going to tell her he moved home. She’s hurt, angry, and confused that he reconciled with his wife behind her back.
He says they haven’t reconciled and he’s staying in the guest room. She feels like he was using her to sort out his feelings towards his life.
Curtis says that’s not the case. What happened between them was organic. She suspects she misread the kiss.
He admits he has feelings for her and Portia. He’s trying to learn from his mistakes and has to sort out his feelings.
Curtis needs to put in the hard work and have difficult conversations with Portia. She wonders where that leaves her and what he’s told Portia about them.
Jordan congratulates him on learning he’s Trina’s father. She wonders if she’s complicating his already complicated life.
He assures her she’s much more than that and asks for more time to work things out.
She chose not to move on from him but he doesn’t want to keep her waiting. Jordan hopes he finds what he’s searching for but she’s finished with waiting and walks out.
At the bank, the clerk hands Spencer the safety deposit box that Victor left him. Spencer tells Trina no good will come from this box but she reminds him it could have something to protect his family.
When they open it, he wonders what fresh hell this is. It’s a tablet but it needs to be charged. She hands him a charger.
There’s also an envelope that contains a receipt for a prescription filled by Esme. It’s the same drug that killed Oz and framed Trina.
He admits that he knew about her drugging and is sorry he didn’t tell her sooner. It all got buried. She says it’s okay.
He wanted to save her but had no proof. “Until now,” she says.
The envelope also contains a letter from Esme to Maggie that contains a confession. She thinks this is all the proof they need against her.
They check the tablet. It contains a video of Esme buying a burner phone.
They thought Esme could cover up so well but Victor outpaced her. Leaping up and pacing, Trina wonders if they ever would have got this evidence. They need to take it to the PCPD so he can get custody of his brother.
Ava races into General Hospital to see Austin. They go into his office and she tells him that Laura is going to Chechnya to look for Nikolas.
He doesn’t see the problem. It’s not like she’ll find him there. The doctor tells her she can’t stop her from going because it will only raise suspicions.
Ava doesn’t want any more blood on her hands. He offers to help her stop Laura but doesn’t see the point in rushing it.
Chuckling, the doctor was worried that she showed up because of Mason. He shows up.
He starts taunting them about how much Ava doesn’t seem to miss her husband. Austin wonders if he’s just there to torment them.
Mason wants them to do something that will require some charisma. “We” need her to work her family connections.
