Mon Feb 12, 2024: Today on General Hospital, Lucy chases after Martin, Gregory tells Tracy that he’s moving in with Finn, and Ava helps Trina grieve.
Friday’s GH recap: Jagger issued Sonny a warning, Brick told Sonny he suspected Dex, and Spinelli won an evening with Maxie.
At the penthouse, Laura and Kevin fuss over Ace and worry about getting him some stability.
She answers the door. It’s Martin with paperwork about Ace. It’s to adopt him.
She says they were only going to look after him for a while. Martin reminds them that Heather and Cyrus both have ties to Ace and he’s already spoken to Nikolas, who may be in jail for some time.
The best way to retain custody is to become the parent on record. Nikolas gave the lawyer permission to put this in motion.
He leaves them the paperwork and leaves to catch a flight.
Kevin asks his wife what she thinks. She says what her brother said makes sense.
He’s on board with her adopting Ace. “WE would adopt him,” she says.
Carly and Drew talk about how great everything is going for her first issue of Crimson.
When they step off the elevator, they find the office has been flooded.
Nina pops up and says the construction team needs to tear the place apart to repair it and the internet on the floor is down. It will be unusable for three days or so.
Carly’s deadline is tomorrow and she accuses her of trying to sabotage her new issue.
They bicker about this and Nina claims she’s just looking out for her hotel.
Carly says she will be hearing from her lawyer and declares she has to go and put her magazine out.
After she stomps out, Drew warns Nina she will get burned if she keeps playing with fire. She smirks.
They start bickering and she says she’s through with the injustice of being the pariah when she did nothing wrong.
He doesn’t think she knows the meaning of injustice, but promises she will.
Once he’s gone, she pays the maintenance crew to take as long as they can.
Tracy runs into Gregory at the Metro Court. He informs her that he’s moving in with Finn.
She’s sure he won’t be bored since he’s a decent backgammon player.
She jumps when Lucy throws an old dinner roll at her.
Coe accuses Tracy of destroying her life.
Tracy explains that she cleared things up with Martin but Lucy whines it’s too late.
This sends the Quartermaine cackling when she realizes that Lucy and Scott really slept together.
Tracy mocks her for having an affair with him on the installment plan.
After they bicker some more, Gregory urges Tracy to be gracious in victory. They tip Lucy off that Martin has gone to see his sister and she jogs off.
Tracy explains to Gregory about the plot Lucy and Scott hatched to get her Deception shares.
She admits, with some prodding, that she and Scott were once together but claims she’s learned her lesson.
When she asks him about his move, she senses he has reservations.
He admits that he hates the idea of giving up his own agency. He knows he won’t have much choice eventually.
Being forced to face this feels like the first part of his final chapter.
She tells him how infuriating it is to always return to Monica’s…but it feels like home.
Robert and Diane have been watching this and chuckling. She asks him to the ballet but that’s not his scene.
They talk about the friction around Finn’s case.
Carly bustles in to see Diane. Drew joins them and Robert takes off.
Carly wants to get the office open but Drew wants revenge. He tells her to think about the magazine and takes off.
Diane gets the impression that Carly is also frustrated by Drew.
Carly is still grieving her mom and doesn’t want to be dragged into a war against someone she doesn’t care about.
Drew makes a call to start targeting everyone who does business with Nina.
Lucy shows up at Laura’s and pays her condolences about Spencer before asking is Martin is there. He’s been avoiding her calls.
Laura explains he’s left to see his mother.
Lucy curses Tracy and then blames herself, rambling about how she did all this to herself.
Laura suggests she can catch Martin before he gets on the plane and Coe jogs off.
They go back to discussing the adoption. She knows how big a deal this is since he’s never been a parent before.
He says that he’s never felt more a part of a family since he married her. She’s opened his heart in ways he couldn’t have imagined.
Adopting a child at this stage in their lives seems a little crazy, but it feels like them and he’s all in.
