General Hospital Wednesday, November 12 Recap: Dalton Busts Rocco in the Lab, Danny & Charlotte Panic
General Hospital (GH) recap for Wednesday, November 12, reveals that Professor Henry “Hank” Dalton (Daniel Goddard) busted Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) in the lab as Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzyn) and Charlotte Cassadine’s (Bluesy Burke) panicked.
After Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) showed up with Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) and Jason Morgan (Steve Burton), she wanted to know if Ned Quartermaine (Wally Kurth) was going to be OK.
Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) was blunt about Ned’s widowmaker situation and felt that Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr) was being overly cautious by waiting on his bypass surgery, which needed to happen NOW.
Portia pulled Britt aside to scold her since she was scaring the family and this wasn’t her call to make.
Jason eventually got Britt out of there and took her to Bobbie’s, where she complained about her job.
Britt blamed Jason for making her come back to Port Charles, but Jason gave her a pep talk. Jason was clearly glad Britt returned and assumed Ned was too since she saved his life.
Back at GH, it was determined that Ned’s surgery should move forward ASAP.
Brook Lynn also learned Giovanni “Gio” Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza) played a big role in saving Ned, so she was moved over that news and heard him call Ned “Grandpa.”
During a private conversation with Emma Scorpio-Drake (Braedyn Bruner), Gio regretted all the time he wasted not getting to know Ned.
Although Gio worried their earlier bonding session was all he’d get, Emma thought Ned was a fighter.
Meanwhile, Rocco, Danny and Charlotte all broke in the research lab using Britt’s stolen key fob.
The teens were surprised to see that there were no animals being tested, but they decided to dig around the lab anyway.
Danny had more to lose since he’d been in trouble lately and was already being kept from Scout Quartermaine (Cosette Abinante), but he refused to abandon Rocco and Charlotte as they searched.
Once the teens heard Dalton coming, they turned off the lights and hid.
When it became apparent Dalton was going to find Danny and Charlotte, Rocco took one for the team by making a sound and alerting Dalton to his own presence.
Dalton confronted Rocco before dragging him out of there since he wanted him arrested for breaking and entering.
Rocco sacrificed himself so Danny and Charlotte wouldn’t get caught, so they acknowledged that once they were left alone in the lab.
It wasn’t long until Charlotte and Danny showed up at Bobbie’s with Rocco updates.
Both Jason and Britt were stunned to learn Rocco got busted over the lab break-in the teens just carried out.
In Alexis Davis’ (Nancy Lee Grahn) office, Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) praised her for pulling off Willow Tait’s (Katelyn MacMullen) release.
Drew now wanted to focus on clearing Willow’s name and making sure Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) went down for shooting him.
Alexis argued that they had to present multiple suspects and insisted she only had one shot to get Willow off the hook.
Drew still felt Michael should be blamed and ultimately brought Martin Grey (Michael E. Knight) in as co-counsel to help pull that off.
Alexis spoke with Martin privately and got him to see things her way, so Martin agreed that he’d try to convince Drew, too.
That said, Martin basically warned Alexis to brace for Drew’s wrath if her Willow strategy failed in court.
At the Metro Court Gardens, Wiley Corinthos (Viron Weaver) saw Willow standing in the distance and ran into her arms.
Willow approached Michael and Jacinda Bracken’s (Paige Hershell) table with Wiley, so that brought tension all around.
Willow took some subtle jabs at Jacinda before learning she was Nina Reeves’ (Cynthia Watros) new assistant.
That led to Willow assuming Michael had something to do with that.
Michael eventually suggested it was time to head home and get Wiley in bed, but Wiley wanted Jacinda to come so she could meet his stuffed spider.
After Jacinda and Michael got on board, it gave Willow another reason to fume.
Willow privately called Michael out for letting Wiley be around an escort and ranted about knowing he was the one who planted that gun in her room.
After Michael wrapped up his confrontation with Willow, he had a far more pleasant one with Jacinda in the Quartermaine kitchen.
Michael admitted he wanted the kids to meet Jacinda anyway and got confirmation that no one could dispute their alibi story.
Back with Willow, she complained to Drew about everything that just went down with Michael.
Drew felt confident that Michael would go down for shooting him and then Willow would be in charge of the kids again.
Despite Laura Collins’ (Genie Francis) disapproval over Martin changing Monica Quartermaine’s (Leslie Charleson) will, she appreciated his support ahead of the mayoral debate.
There was some talk about Laura appointing Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) to fill in for Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) as PCPD’s police commissioner.
Laura knew Ezra Boyle (Daniel Cosgrove) would try to use that against her since Dante was Sonny the mobster’s son.
Laura worried about Rocco getting caught in the crossfire since he was both her grandson and Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) grandson.
Laura also traded barbs with Ezra before Dalton eventually dragged Rocco in and called for his arrest over the lab break-in.
General Hospital spoilers say Laura will have some fires to put out, so stay tuned!
