General Hospital recap for January 22, 2025: Jason reunites Willow with her kids

Dante walked into the PCPD interrogation room to find Tracy still sitting there. Lulu showed up right behind him, but he told her it was too late to see Tracy. Lulu told Dante that she thought she could get Tracy to cooperate with the police. "I am fluent in Tracy Quartermaine. Let me have a crack at her," Lulu begged.

Dante relented and allowed Lulu to talk to Tracy, who was busy spinning herself in a chair when Lulu entered the interrogation room. Lulu warned Tracy she was facing kidnapping charges, but Tracy laughed it off. Lulu refused to give up. "Wiley and Amelia need Willow, and Willow needs them," Lulu pointed out.

Before Lulu could say much more, Dante brought Jason in, ready to broker a deal. However, Tracy wasn't interested. "What is to prevent Willow from packing up those kids and going right back to Nina's? Or worse — to go to live with Drew? What's going to stop her?" she asked.

Jason and Lulu desperately tried to get Tracy to listen to reason. Jason insisted that the cops would find the kids eventually and Tracy would end up in jail if she didn't agree to this deal. Lulu asked Jason to give her a moment alone with her former stepmother.

Tracy continued to repeat that the children were Quartermaines, so she had to protect them. Lulu advised Tracy to play the long game. "Michael won't be gone forever. He still has parental rights...Be smart, take the win," Lulu said.

Finally, Lulu emerged from the interrogation room to tell Jason and Dante that Tracy had something to say. She begrudgingly told them that she would take the deal.

As soon as Jason tried speaking to Willow in the hospital chapel, Drew spoke for her and told his brother that Willow had nothing to say to him. Willow realized this was about her children and wanted to hear what Jason had to say.

Jason proposed a compromise, suggesting that Willow and the kids stay in the gatehouse so they can be with both her and Monica. Drew wanted to know if Tracy was aware of this idea. Drew did everything he could to convince Willow that this was a bad deal.

Jason assured Willow he would get Tracy to agree, but Drew wouldn't hear of it. "I would not commit to anything," he advised Willow. However, Willow ignored him and told Jason she was on board if Tracy was okay with it. Jason left, leaving Drew to influence Willow. "You don't need Jason to get your kids back. I keep telling you that you have all the power that you need."

Drew asked Willow not to drop the charges against Tracy, but she wasn't so sure since kidnapping was such a serious offense. Willow said she felt bad depriving Monica of the kids so Drew accused Tracy of just using Monica as an excuse to punish him and Willow. Finally, Willow grew a backbone and was firm with Drew.

"My kids are traumatized enough. If Jason has a way to end this and bring them home to their home, then that's what I want," she said. Drew finally agreed to support any decision Willow made. However, he still warned her not to move back to the Q estate because the family could still take the kids away from her.

Drew admitted that he didn't think Jason would intentionally lie to Willow, but he didn't trust other family members. Just then, Jason called Willow with good news. "I'm at the gatehouse with your kids. Come on home," he said.

Once Willow was gone, Drew summoned Marty and told him that Willow needed someone to have her back. "I would do anything to protect Willow," Drew said with a crazed look in his eyes.

Sasha sat with Wiley in the gatehouse, reading him a story. Wiley looked quite sad and told Sasha he missed his mom and dad. When there was a knock on the door, Wiley was sure it was his mother. He was disappointed to see Felicia. Sasha put Wiley to bed so she could talk with Felicia alone.

Sasha told Felicia that Tracy wanted to keep the kids near Monica and had Yuri take Wiley and Amelia on an extended drive to hide them for a few hours. Sasha was surprised to hear Felicia tell her about other Q antics. "The Quartermaines thrive on toxic shenanigans," Felicia said.

Sasha told Felicia that she didn't even recognize who Willow was anymore. "She's changed. Willow walked out on Michael, an incredible father and family man for Drew," she said in amazement. Felicia explained that feelings could be complicated. She had to work through a lot of feelings for Frisco before she realized Mac was the one for her.

That didn't matter for Sasha, who was disgusted with Willow for using Michael as leverage and barring his parents from seeing him. Jason surprised them when he walked through the door and told the women that Tracy and Willow had come to a compromise. Willow would be coming back to stay with her children.

Wiley was thrilled to see her mother walk through the door. Willow tearfully thanked Jason for getting her kids back.

Lucky and Kristina quickly toasted to their fathers and the brand-new Charlie's Pub just ahead of its grand re-opening. Maxie and Spinelli were the first to arrive on the scene, with Maxie raving about how much she loved Charlie's new energy and vibe. Lucky was happy to see Isaiah approach the bar. However, he was even more pleased when Elizabeth walked through the front door.

Liz headed straight to the bar and Isaiah made himself scarce so Lucky and Liz could talk. Liz was surprised to hear that Lucky might have found a lead in the Digitalis mystery. He summoned Marty to the bar and whispered to Elizabeth to take his lead.

Lucky mentioned to Marty that Cyrus had been visiting Lulu at Turning Wood and claimed he was representing the family. Liz mentioned how Cyrus was constantly with the terminal patients at GH. "Why do you suppose that is?" she innocently asked Marty. While Marty wasn't sure, he thought it had something to do with his and Cyrus' mother.

Marty explained how their mother had taken a turn last year, and Cyrus didn't want anyone to take extraordinary methods to save her. Miraculously, their mother recovered on her own. "For all his obvious faults, Cyrus loves our mother very much. He didn't want her to suffer. He wanted to...release her," Marty said.

Outside, Brick spotted Jordan and offered to get the door for her. Brick asked Jordan to join him for the evening, but she was meeting Isaiah. Kristina gave Brick a big hug when she saw him. They were both surprised that Sonny was not there yet.

Brick sat down at a table by himself and watched Isaiah and Jordan. Isaiah noticed Brick staring and asked Jordan who he was. Jordan explained that Brick was their "resident man of mystery" who worked with Sonny Corinthos.

Isaiah asked Jordan her opinion on Sonny. Jordan had mixed reviews. Sonny was a criminal, but the people she respected cared about him. Just then, Natalia called and asked Isaiah to get to Sonny's office quickly. Isaiah told Jordan he had to leave due to a medical emergency, so Brick made his move and took Isaiah's place at Jordan's table.

Brick informed Jordan he had done a full background check on Isaiah and wondered if he should be jealous of Dr. Gannon.

A drunken Cody walked around Charlie's making a menace of himself. He even told Spinelli he owed him money for keeping Society Setups a secret two years ago. "My silence is costly. If you want to stay out of prison, it's time to pony up," Cody told a surprised Spinelli, adding that he wanted $75,000.

Before the night was over, Cody got into a small bar brawl with Lucky and was hauled into the PCPD.

When Natalia entered Sonny's office, she was shocked to see him passed out on the floor. She quickly called 911 and gave him one of the pills she found on the floor. Sonny began to come to and insisted that he wasn't going to the hospital.

Sonny convinced Natalia to hang up the phone and told her about his heart condition. She still wanted to get him to GH, but Sonny was adamant that nobody knew what just happened. He told her to call Isaiah instead.

When Isaiah arrived, he asked Natalia to stay so she and Sonny could give him every detail of the incident. Sonny told Isaiah about feeling chest pains when arguing with Ava, but he didn't want her to see him taking medication. That is why he waited to take his pills till she left, but before he could, he collapsed.

Isaiah insisted that Sonny see a cardiologist, but Sonny kept making excuses for the delay. After all, his son almost died. Isaiah sympathized but warned Sonny that his life was on the line. Isaiah didn't want Sonny to be alone overnight, so Natalia offered to stay with him.
