**General Hospital (GH) Recap: Wednesday, November 12**
On Wednesday’s episode of *General Hospital*, Professor Henry “Hank” Dalton (Daniel Goddard) caught Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) trespassing in the lab. Meanwhile, Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzyn) and Charlotte Cassadine (Bluesy Burke) were panicking over the situation.
Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) arrived with Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) and Jason Morgan (Steve Burton), anxious to know if Ned Quartermaine (Wally Kurth) was going to be okay. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) was frank about Ned’s critical “widowmaker” heart condition and felt Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr) was being overly cautious by delaying his bypass surgery, which Britt insisted needed to happen immediately.
Portia pulled Britt aside to admonish her for alarming the family and reminded her that the decision wasn’t hers to make. Jason eventually escorted Britt away and took her to Bobbie’s, where she vented about her job frustrations. Britt blamed Jason for making her return to Port Charles, but he offered her a pep talk. Jason was clearly glad Britt was back and assumed Ned felt the same, as she had saved his life.
Back at General Hospital, it was decided that Ned’s surgery should proceed as soon as possible. Brook Lynn also learned that Giovanni “Gio” Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza) had played a significant role in saving Ned. Hearing Gio affectionately call Ned “Grandpa” moved Brook Lynn deeply. In a quiet moment with Emma Scorpio-Drake (Braedyn Bruner), Gio expressed regret over the time he had wasted not getting to know Ned better. Although Gio worried their earlier bonding might be all he’d get, Emma remained hopeful, stating that Ned was a true fighter.
Meanwhile, Rocco, Danny, and Charlotte broke into the research lab using Britt’s stolen key fob. The teens were surprised to find no animals being tested but continued to search the lab anyway. Danny had more at stake, already being in trouble and barred from seeing Scout Quartermaine (Cosette Abinante), but he refused to abandon Rocco and Charlotte during the search.
When they heard Dalton approaching, the teens quickly turned off the lights and hid. As it became clear Dalton was going to find Danny and Charlotte, Rocco sacrificed himself by making noise, drawing Dalton’s attention. Dalton confronted Rocco and took him out of the lab, threatening arrest for breaking and entering. Rocco’s selfless act ensured that Danny and Charlotte were not caught, which they acknowledged once alone in the lab.
Soon after, Danny and Charlotte arrived at Bobbie’s with updates on Rocco. Both Jason and Britt were stunned to learn that Rocco had been busted for the lab break-in the teens had conducted.
In Alexis Davis’ (Nancy Lee Grahn) office, Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) praised her for securing Willow Tait’s (Katelyn MacMullen) release. Drew expressed his desire to focus on clearing Willow’s name and ensuring Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) is held accountable for shooting him. Alexis argued that they needed to present multiple suspects and insisted she only had one chance to get Willow off the hook.
Still, Drew believed Michael was to blame and brought Martin Grey (Michael E. Knight) in as co-counsel to help make that case. Alexis later spoke privately with Martin and persuaded him to her way of thinking. Martin agreed to try convincing Drew as well but warned Alexis to brace herself for Drew’s wrath if the Willow defense strategy failed in court.
At Metro Court Gardens, Wiley Corinthos (Viron Weaver) spotted Willow from afar and ran into her arms. Willow then approached a table where Michael and Jacinda Bracken (Paige Hershell) were sitting with Wiley, creating tension. Willow took subtle jabs at Jacinda before learning she was Nina Reeves’ (Cynthia Watros) new assistant. This led Willow to suspect Michael had something to do with Jacinda’s arrival.
Michael suggested it was time to head home and get Wiley to bed, but Wiley insisted Jacinda should come along so she could meet his stuffed spider. Once Michael and Jacinda agreed, Willow’s frustration grew.
Willow then privately confronted Michael, accusing him of letting Wiley be around an escort and ranting that she knew he planted the gun in her room. After the tense exchange with Willow, Michael shared a more pleasant moment with Jacinda in the Quartermaine kitchen, admitting he wanted the kids to meet Jacinda and confirming their alibi was airtight.
Willow later complained to Drew about the encounter with Michael. Drew remained confident Michael would be held responsible for shooting him, which would mean Willow could regain custody of the kids.
Despite Laura Collins’ (Genie Francis) disapproval over Martin changing Monica Quartermaine’s (Leslie Charleson) will, she appreciated his support ahead of the upcoming mayoral debate. There was also talk about Laura possibly appointing Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) as PCPD’s interim police commissioner in place of Anna Devane (Finola Hughes).
Laura was concerned that Ezra Boyle (Daniel Cosgrove) would use Dante’s mobster family connections against her and worried about Rocco getting caught in the crossfire, given he was both her grandson and Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) grandson.
Laura exchanged barbs with Ezra before Dalton arrived and dragged Rocco in, calling for his arrest over the lab break-in.
**General Hospital spoilers** promise that Laura will have some fires to put out following these events, so stay tuned!
