The newest episode of General Hospital turned up the drama dial, and at the center of it all is Kristina, who’s suddenly putting on her damage-control hat—again.
After that shocking car accident where she meant to take out Ava but accidentally hit Ric instead, Kristina seems to be switching into “apology tour” mode. First stop? Her mom, Alexis. Even though Alexis tried to have her committed, Kristina is now oddly affectionate toward her—like she’s trying to wipe the slate clean. She’s also doing a 180 on the surrogacy drama with her sister Molly, acting like she deeply regrets how that all went down. But is it genuine? Or just part of the act?
It looks like her heart-to-heart with Dante had a real impact—or at least gave her some pointers on how to look remorseful. And while she might be trying to smooth things over with her mom, the idea that she’ll suddenly start playing nice with Ava has fans raising their eyebrows. That relationship? Way too scorched for a quick fix.
Meanwhile, Lucky and Ric are sniffing around Kristina’s sudden good-girl glow-up—and they’re not buying it. Lucky is busy digging through past events, clearly suspicious about Kristina’s motives. Ric, on the other hand, is lying in wait. After barely surviving the car crash, he’s eager to expose Kristina for who she really is and prove to his daughters that this “kinder, gentler Kristina” is just a mask.
Over in a quieter corner of Port Charles, Lucas pays a visit to Elizabeth. Their conversation turns heartfelt as they swap stories about their current love lives and reflect on what’s changed. Lucas also checks in on Liz’s situation at the hospital. Their catch-up session ends on a hopeful note—Lucas has some good news, though what that is exactly, we’ll have to wait to find out.
Elsewhere, Gio is opening up to Sonny, and it’s clear he’s under a lot of pressure. After the recent crisis with Rocco’s alcohol poisoning, Gio feels like he’s falling apart. Dante did apologize for losing his cool, but the damage was done. Now, Gio’s looking to Sonny not just as family, but as a steady voice of guidance. And if anyone knows how to navigate high-stakes emotional storms, it’s Sonny.
