SoapsSpoilers’ General Hospital recap for the Wednesday, January 26, 2022 episode. Today, We also have Tuesday’s GH recap where Sonny had a confrontation at the Savoy, trying to rent the place and Nina gave him an ultimatum.
At the hospital, Peter tells Britt she lost her edge. She counters that following in their father’s footsteps has worked well for him. “You’re king of the world,” she snaps. He’s getting released to Pentonville tomorrow.
Peter insists he needs treatment. “You mean for your fabricated back pain?” He asks about Maxie. Britt says she wants nothing to do with him. He chants his usual bit about how he and Maxie are bonded by their baby forever and she takes off.
By the hub, Victor brings Maxie’s ultrasound to a nurse and asks her to check on who it belongs to. The nurse brings up the information and is called away by a patient. She leaves the files open so Victor takes it upon himself to go behind the desk.
Joss, Cam, Trina, Esme and Spencer arrive at the cabin in the mountains. They check out their surroundings inside and out and invites Cam and Joss to take the master bedroom since it’s so big. Joss rolls her eyes. Everyone wants to go skiing, which bothers Esme.
He admits Trina’s enthusiasm was contagious and Esme snipes, “Like the plague.” Trina asks what she said and Esme covers. “That’s just great.”
Later, Cam and Joss kiss and talk about being together intimately tonight. She wants her first time to be with him. They grin happily and agree tonight’s the night. After a while, everyone dresses for the slopes. They return later and talk about their night to come as Cam prepares to make a fire. When they’re alone, Spence offers cam condoms, which he refuses. He’s set up.
Esme brings hot toddies to everyone while Spencer and Trina have a passionate conversation. Esme looks from the Tramadol she bought to Trina.
Nina gets her coat on and heads to the door at Carly’s to look for Sonny. He opens the door and says he was outside, shovelling a path outside. He wants to run an electric cord to the kids’ play house so they can play in the winter. Nina notices his hands are red and bruised. He brushes her off.
He feels great. She asks when he ate last but he’s not hungry. He wants to get a contractor to build a tiny house for the kids. Nina implores him to eat. He tells her he put up with her last night because she stayed out of his way.
He thinks she should go and tosses his tablet down and goes. Nina calls Britt and shares that she thinks Sonny’s off his meds. She asks for help. Britt says not to engage but get him to acknowledge he’s having an episode. She urges Nina to call his family and Carly. Nina says he refuses to let her. If she feels threatened, she should call one of his minions and get out of there.
They disconnect and Nina goes to Sonny again. He explains he’s going to buy everything he needs to make the tree house warm. Nina asks for more information about Bipolar. He’s frustrated but agrees to tell her what it’s like. He tells her it’s like thoughts zipping around in your head, like a nightmare you can’t wake up from. “You’re exhausted and you can’t go to sleep.” He insists that isn’t what’s happening now.
She grabs him and he tells her not to. He snatches her wrist and gets a vice grip around it. Nina whispers, “Sonny. You’re hurting me.” She’s almost in tears. He lets go, with an apology. He didn’t mean to hurt her. She admits she’s afraid for him. He says he’s feeling tired. He sits down. She offers to get his meds and when he says he doesn’t have them, she suggests he call his doctor. He holds his head in his hands and she pulls him into an embrace.
