General Hospital Dec. 12 Spoiler Recap: New Evidence Puts [Spoiler] on the Hot Seat

General Hospital dropped a busy, messy, very soapy episode on Dec. 12. Curtis finally got sprung from lockup, Nina went full corporate enforcer on Michael, and new video evidence shoved Willow right into the center of Drew’s shooting case. Meanwhile, Jason and Britt danced around secrets (and then just kissed), Portia got hit with family drama, and Alexis worried her grand plan might blow up in her face.

Jason vs. Britt’s medicine cabinet (and then, yeah, a kiss)

Jason let himself into Britt’s place and started combing through her meds like a man on a mission. Britt walked in on him and demanded to know what he thought he was doing and why he’d been involved with those pills in the first place. Jason, not subtle, floated the idea that Sidwell could be tied up in whatever is going on and offered to help sort it out. Britt shut that down and answered with a make-out session instead. Not a bad deflection strategy.

Portia’s scare leads to big Trina questions

Isaiah tried to play hero by inviting Portia to his cabin so she could recover from her recent medical scare. Before that could go anywhere, Trina showed up and made it clear she knows about the pregnancy. She wanted to know why she was kept in the dark and asked the question everyone tiptoes around: would a new baby fix anything between her parents? Portia didn’t pretend. She gave Trina zero false hope.

Alexis and Kristina game out the Willow problem

Back at Alexis’s place, she and Kristina went over Willow’s legal situation and landed on this: it’s more complication than solution. Alexis is worried that if Willow gets cleared without needing her, Drew could slam the door on Alexis seeing Scout, essentially wiping out all the leverage and effort she’s invested. It’s not the warmest motive, but it’s honest.

Nina goes nuclear at the office

Nina caught Michael and Jacinda getting cozy at work and immediately threatened to report them to HR. Michael shrugged it off — he said management already knows about the relationship. Nina countered that this little preemptive disclosure won’t protect him in a courtroom, and warned that a judge could hand the kids over to Willow. Subtle? Not really. Effective? We’ll see.

PCPD pulls traffic cam video, Curtis walks

At the station, Nathan and Dante brought Turner new traffic cam footage showing Willow near the spot where Drew was shot around the time it happened. Turner considered it strong enough to keep the case pointed at Willow and decided Curtis should be released.

Turner also looped in Alexis and sent her a copy of the video. Translation: the legal chessboard just changed.

Drew, Curtis, and a threat to spill everything

Meanwhile, Drew continued insisting he believes Curtis is the one who shot him — but said he doesn’t actually want Curtis to do time for it. Curtis flat-out denied it and warned that if he goes down, he’ll take Drew’s sins with him, including the whole blackmailing-Portia situation and whatever he’s been doing to Stella. That standoff was cut short when Drew himself walked in with word about the new evidence the cops just found.

Willow asks Chase for help, and Michael wants receipts

Willow went to the Quartermaine mansion and asked Chase to help her see her kids. Brook Lynn arrived before this could get traction and reminded Willow that she’s not about to let her husband risk his job. Willow apologized and left.

Later, while Chase and Brook Lynn were processing the visit, Michael overheard and immediately pushed them to testify that Willow violated the court order by trying to see the kids. Chase wasn’t having it, and things got heated fast.

Alexis wants the truth, Willow sticks to her story

Willow then showed up at Alexis’s home and got hit with the hard questions. Alexis laid it out: she can’t protect Willow if she’s not getting the real story. She showed Willow the traffic cam footage; Drew arrived at the same time to see where things stood. Willow repeated that she did not pull the trigger, and Drew, of all people, believed her.

'I can’t help you if I don’t know the truth.'

Bottom line: Curtis is out, Willow is suddenly in deeper thanks to the traffic cam video, Nina is stirring up HR and custody threats, and Jason and Britt might be trading secrets for smooches. That’s a lot of kindling for one day in Port Charles.
