What happened on General Hospital?

This week on General Hospital, Jack told Carly that her confrontation with Willow and Drew set up a trap for Drew to make a mistake she can use against him. Drew coerced Willow into signing papers that would make him the legal guardian of Wiley and Amelia if something happened to her. Portia lied to Kai and told him the surgery wasn't good. Meanwhile, Ava revealed to Ric that she had his car hidden away and paid the impound lot guy to tell people it got crushed. Alexis decided not to have Kristina committed. Laura warned Sonny that she was putting the esplanade location up for a vote, which could mean his piers are taken away from him through eminent domain. Lucky brought Liz home, and an overbearing nurse, Amy, arrived shortly after, telling Liz what to do. Amy drove everyone crazy until Lucky agreed to be Liz's caretaker in her place. Kai was determined to get the surgery and asked Trina to be by his side during it. Professor Dalton told Emma he wanted her to apply for the research assistant position. Ava told Alexis that her blackmail price increased. Laura held a press conference about the esplanade vote. Jordan pretended to disagree with her and publicly resigned as Deputy Mayor. Sonny told Diane that Marco was Sidwell's son. She later told Sonny that if the voters took his piers away by force, it couldn't be stopped. Jason interrogated Marco and warned him that he was watching him. Rocco revealed he didn't want Sonny to attend his school speech because it could negatively affect Laura if the two are seen together.

Chase suggested to Brook Lynn that they adopt. On horseback, Cody came to Molly's aid when she got a flat tire. Emma started her community service at the hospital. Sidwell gave Jordan a lucrative job offer and told her she would have hardly any time for a personal life. Josslyn saw Professor Dalton at the hospital carrying a metallic briefcase. He went into a lab and later exited without the briefcase. She texted Vaughn about it. Carly asked Sonny not to fight the referendum because it could ruin Laura‘s reelection. Isaiah wasn’t happy to learn Jordan was working for Sidwell, and she shockingly broke up with him. Sonny told Carly about his surgery, and she insisted that she's going with him.
