Pascal Goes on the Run, But Not for Long! — Plus, Tracy Gets an Eyefull of Chase and Willow!

 

At Turning Woods, Jack tells Valentin that they need each other’s help. There is a price, Valentin notes, as Carly wants to know where he sent her daughter. Jack says he doesn’t know where she is, and Carly believes him.

What Is Valentin’s Assignment?

Jack believes there is more to Joss’ disappearance, and only Vaughn knew she was WSB. Not even Cullum knew, as he never trusted him. Jack and Carly both agree that someone has taken Joss. Jack suggests they start at Wyndemere, where all roads always lead.

Jack instructs Valentin to see Zee, use his access number, and tell him everything. Valentin thinks Zee will just throw him back in Steinmauer, but Jack says it’s the only way to save Joss. He can’t contact Zee himself; otherwise Cullum may learn he’s not locked in.

Valentin thinks Jack has nothing, and they should go. Carly tells Valentin to go first so people don’t suspect anything, so he takes off. Alone, Jack tells Carly to make him listen; she knows it’s the only way, and he’s not lying.

Chase Comes to Willow’s Rescue, Again.

At the boathouse, Willow freaks out when she sees a spider, which she hates, and Chase takes care of it. She thanks her hero for saving her and then gets a text about work. As she’s busy making deals on Capitol Hill, Chase is impressed. She then reflects on the unfairness of his being demoted while she had this amazing life-changing job fall in her lap.

Kristina’s Getting an Education!

Kristina meets Michael at Bobbie’s and tells him that she’s going to medical school. Michael was not expecting that, and says it will take a lot of work, but she tells him she’s already been accepted to UCLA.

Michael says she never talked about med school before, and she admits this is something new. Since the accident with the baby and Sam, she’s wanted to focus on something meaningful and do some good in the world. Michael says he’s happy for and proud of her.

She admits she’s worried she’ll flake like always, but he says she’s not the first person to realize she wasn’t in love with what she was doing and to go looking for something else. He asks if there is any way that he could change her mind about going to medical school, and she says there isn’t. He believes that she won’t fail then.

Will Sonny’s Plan Work?

Laura meets with Sonny at his coffee warehouse to talk about their plans. She makes it clear she appreciates his help, but won’t stand for harm coming to Pascal. Sonny says he’s not going to need to do anything to Pascal, as once Sidwell thinks the butler killed Marco, they’ll be the ones to step in and save him.

Lucas soon arrives and fills them in on the trouble Joe gave him until Dante stepped in. The doctor admits this may not work, as Pascal has been loyal to Sidwell.  Sonny believes Sidwell’s grief and need for a suspect will override the rational side of his brain, and Pascal will know that.

See Pascal Run! Run, Pascal, Run!

At Wyndemere, we see a replay of Sidwell and Joe confronting Pascal in front of all the Deception ladies. Pascal says he had nothing to do with the murder, and Joe should speak to Lucas Jones. Sidwell glares at the butler as Joe asks where he was at the time of the murder. Pascal keeps insisting she had nothing to do with Marco’s death and tells Sidwell he would never hurt Marco.

In her cell, Joss fiddles with an old light fixture, causing a short circuit throughout Wyndemere by crossing some electrical wires. Sidwell should look into upgrading his electrical grid!

Back upstairs, the ladies panic, but Sidwell says the generator will kick in. The power returns, and Pascal is gone!

Joe calls in an APB for Pascal as Sidwell shows the Deception crew out, since his attention is needed elsewhere. The cop and Sidwell then search Pascal’s room, and Sidwell is irked they found a photo of Marco in Pascal’s drawer. Joe says it’s not conclusive evidence, and the fact he ran also isn’t an admission of guilt; cases can be complicated and tricky. He advises Sidwell not to jump to conclusions, let the police handle this, and call him if Pascal turns up. Joe takes off.

Down in the basement, Joss works to free herself and bust the electronic lock to the door. She makes it out!

Willow Has an Offer For Chase

Back on the mainland, Chase admits to Willow he didn’t think this is where he’d be in his career at this stage, but he wouldn’t do anything differently. Willow suggests a change of position for Chase, and that he should work with her in Congress. Because that makes total sense!

Lucy’s Big Mouth Is at it Again!

The Deception women return to the main house, and Lucy says she never trusted that butler. A disappointed Tracy goes for a walk, and Lucy feels so badly she is the one who got Sidwell involved with the company. Brook Lynn says they’ve all made mistakes, including her, and now she’s choosing to focus on looking ahead and to the future.

Lucy says it’s happened, her priorities have shifted, and she really is Phoebe’s mom. Brook admits it’s been wonderful having Phoebe, and she and Chase are great together as parents. Lucy agrees that Chase is great, and she still can’t believe she forgave him for throwing his entire career away over Willow.

Brook Lynn says there is nothing to forgive, as Chase believes in getting justice no matter what, and everyone, even her Granny Tracy, understands that. They have resolved this matter, and Chase was just doing his job.

Will Chase Accept Willow’s Offer?

Back at the boathouse, Willow tells Chase he could be her Chief of Staff, and thinks he’d be great as he has so many contacts and ties, he has to the community, and he loves Port Charles. Plus, the press will love her having a decorated police officer on staff. Chase has doubts he’d be useful, but she says Congress is still a boys club, so he could open doors she can’t. Plus, she needs someone she trusts.

Willow asks Chase to take some time to think about it, and it could open new opportunities for him. Plus, he won’t have to put his life on the line at work every day, so consider it for Phoebe. Chase realizes she makes a good point, but why is it so important to her?

Tracy appears, and quickly hides when she spots Willow put her hand on Chase’s big, strong arm… She tells him, “For so many reasons…” Tracy’s jaw hits the ground!

Who Will Find Pascal First?

At Sonny’s warehouse, Laura learns that Pascal took the bait and ran, that an APB has been issued, and that Sidwell is livid and calling for Pascal’s arrest. Lucas says if Sidwell thinks Pascal killed Marco, he’ll shoot and ask questions later. Sonny says that’s why they’ll lend Pascal a helping hand.

Sonny tells them he’ll be in touch when he locates Pascal, and he tells Lucas he did well. Sonny heads out, and Laura says she and Sonny are grateful to Lucas for what he’s done. Lucas thanks her, and just wants to see Sidwell pay. However, Lucas realizes he may have accidentally given the cops two suspects in Marco’s death: Pascal and himself.

In The Show’s Final Moments

Lucy tells Brook Lynn she’s going to head home for a nice warm bath and a glass of wine. She’s happy that Brook Lynn has a good man and is building a beautiful family, and not to let anyone take it from her. That prompts BLQ to recall her tense encounter with Willow.

At the boathouse, Willow looks at Chase lovingly and says he is one of the few people she considers a true friend, his happiness means a lot to her, and she hopes he considers her offer. He says he will, and she decides to get going. Willow takes off, and Tracy emerges and tells Chase, “You have cheated on my granddaughter for the very last time.”

At Bobbie’s, Michael knows his sister will put in the hard work and succeed, but the hardest part will be her being so far away. They hug and say they’ll miss the other.

At Turning Woods, Jack tells Carly that Zee will shut down Cullum and Sidwell; that’s the mission. Carly puts the pieces together: that’s the mission Joss was on, and she blames him for putting her in danger, and she’ll never forgive him. She storms out, and Jack looks like he’s about to cry.

Joss makes her way up to the foyer in Wyndemere. As she’s about to leave, Sidwell is waiting outside the front door with a gun. He tells her, “Clever girl, nice try!”

At the warehouse, Lucas tells Laura the romantic partner is always a suspect, and the cops may think he pointed the finger at Pascal to throw them off the trail. Laura tells him not to second-guess himself; Pascal did what he needed to do; he’s the one the PCPD is focused on.

Finally, Pascal makes his way to a car on the mainland, only to find out it won’t start. Sonny appears in his window with wires and asks, “Need a lift?”

On the next episode of General Hospital, Ethan tells Alexis he wants it sealed so no one will know. Brook Lynn knows Willow is going after her husband. Willow tells Nina, “There is a chance we’ll be spending more time together.” Tracy tells Chase, “Pack your bags, and our lawyers will be in touch.” Sonny, Lucas and Laura interrogate Pascal. Sonny is giving him a chance to save his own lie.
