General Hospital recap for Friday, May 5, 2023. In today’s GH episode, Willow forces Nina to call off her vendetta against Carly, Anna risks her life to be with Valentin, and Obrecht is saved.
We also have Thursday’s GH recap where Laura dropped the pathogen, and Victor shot her before Anna and Holly saved the day.
In the rocks of Greenland, Victor waves the pathogen in the air, threatening to release it if Holly shoots at him.
She brags about freeing Ethan and taunts him for failing. He reminds her the pathogen will kill him.
She tells Victor that he has nothing to live for. She’s the one who castrated him.
Before he can shoot her, Drew runs up and clobbers him.
The gun goes off. Liesl hits her head. Holly finds a pulse and they wake her.
She’s the first to notice Victor has escaped with the pathogen. She reminds them that Valentin is dying.
In the bunker, Valentin thinks he’s hallucinating when Anna starts banging on the window, begging him to hang on.
He wishes she was real so he could tell her how much he loves her. She loves him too. That’s why she’s there.
She wants to find a Hazmat suit for him but he says it’s already too late.
He asks her to tell Charlotte how important she is to him. He wishes he could have seen through Alex and not let her poison them.
If he hadn’t let anger and spite control him, he could have been the man he is with her.
It’s okay if he dies like this because she’s redeemed him.
After repeating that he loves her, he loses consciousness.
She enters the room and wakes him. He reminds her that she’s just been infected.
Keeping him awake, she tells him he’s not going to die like this because he has a destiny to be a great father and her partner. They know each other’s darkness and that elevates them, allowing them to love without restraint.
She’s willing to risk the odds of dying just to be with him.
In the lab, Laura tells Curtis that she recognizes the code on the computer from forty years ago. She thinks there might be another weather machine.
Laura tells him about the attempt to create a blizzard in 1981. They managed to stop it.
They wonder if the computers are connected to a weather machine right now. As they think about what they should do, they see the computer has calibrated a target: Port Charles.
They try typing orders into the machine but they need the formula for carbonic snow.
She remembers that she memorized it back then and Robert worried she had it in her head. They only have one shot at this.
She types it in and it works. They’re relieved.
They head down the hall and bump into Holly, who tells them Victor got away.
Holly runs down the hall and brings the antidote to Valentin and Anna.
On the Haunted Star, Trina calls Jordan, who tells her there are drones on the way to bomb the island. She tells them to take the baby and run.
Spencer doesn’t want to leave Laura and the others behind. The commissioner orders them to go.
Trina asks Jordan to tell her parents she loves them. Spencer tells Trina they can do this.
They head out to the rocks after bundling up Ace. Victor runs by with the pathogen.
Spencer decides he needs to go after his uncle. Shoving the kid in her arms, he promises he will be back.
When Victor gets to the ship, he orders his goons to get it moving. Taking a drink, he curses Holly and the notices he doesn’t have the antidote.
Spencer shows up. His uncle isn’t about to forgive him. “It’s over,” says Spencer.
He demands the pathogen and knocks him out.
