General Hospital recap for Tuesday, February 18, 2025: Elizabeth's Valentine's Day romance turns to horror

Lucky arrived at Elizabeth's house with a temporary new face. Liz couldn't wait to tell him about her meeting with Anna. They were also pleased to see a Valentine's Day cake on the table that Aiden had made. Aiden soon entered the room with Tobias and introduced his boyfriend to his dad.

Aiden and Tobias were headed to the school's Valentine's Day skate event, but Aiden wanted to talk to Liz privately before they left. Aiden wasn't sure if Liz wanted to be alone with Lucky and offered to stay home rather than go skating. Liz told her son to go have fun, adding, "I kinda like spending time with your dad."

Once Aiden and Tobias left, Liz informed Lucky that Aiden had offered to be their chaperone. Liz explained that Aiden was just looking after her, as all her boys have done through the years. Lucky understood why Aiden was concerned. "It's not like I've been around and been someone you and Aiden could count on. It makes sense that he's scared you'd get hurt on my watch," Lucky said. Liz planned to tell Aiden that he didn't have to protect her from Lucky cause she didn't need it.

Later, Lucky approached Liz in the kitchen and told her she was as beautiful as she was the day they met. Liz told Lucky to look closer so he did, leading to a kiss. After Lucky left, Elizabeth heard a knock on the door. She thought it was Lucky because he had forgotten his slice of cake. When Liz opened it, Cyrus was standing there.

Anna entered the PCPD interrogation room to tell Jason that she had to legally release him. "But, for the time I have left, I am going to do everything in my power to convince you not to kill Cyrus the minute you walk out that door," she said. Anna had an emergency warrant for Cyrus' arrest and was waiting for the judge to sign off on it.

"I have enough evidence to connect Cyrus to multiple murders," Anna said. Jason's ears finally perked up. "Including Sam's?" he asked. Anna nodded. "We can get justice for her," she told Jason.

Anna begged Jason not to murder Cyrus and make his body disappear, "not for your sake, but for mine." Anna considered her and Jason to be friends. Other people had also seen how close Anna and Jason had become. If Jason killed Cyrus and Anna looked the other way, she thought it would perpetuate the idea that people are above the law based on their friendships with her.

Anna asked Jason to let go of his anger, but he couldn't. "I understand what you're saying, but none of that matters when you're talking about the sick bastard who murdered Sam," Jason shouted. Anna insisted she could get justice for Sam via legal means. "Have a little faith in me. I'm telling you that you won't regret it," a tearful Anna pleaded.

Jason still wasn't convinced. He promised Anna that she would have nothing to do with Cyrus' disappearance, but Anna knew that nobody would believe that. Anna begged Jason to trust her some more, but then a call came telling her that the judge refused to sign off on the warrant until the morning.

When Anna hung up, she told Jason that she understood why he wanted to kill Cyrus. "I know you do. I don't think there's anyone in my life that understands that more than you do," Jason said. "Don't let Carly hear you say that," Anna quipped. She also asked Jason one last time to trust her to do her job. "Please don't kill Cyrus," Anna simply asked.

Felicia had to take care of her traumatized husband as he lay in her lap with a migraine brought on by a surprising sight — another niece kissing Jason. Felicia pointed out he hadn't had a migraine that bad in a while. "Not since Robin was dating Jason," Mac lamented.

Mac didn't believe the rumor that Jason was the father of Sasha's baby, but "then she plants one on him right in front of my interrogation room." Mac was sure that Jason had taken advantage of Sasha's heartbreak over Cody. Felicia didn't buy that idea at all. She finally got Mac's mind off the topic with some Valentine's Day chocolates.

Lulu brought Eckert's cupcakes to the Q kitchen as a Valentine's Day gift for Rocco. Dante was impressed that she snagged them, but he had to disappoint Lulu when he told her that Rocco was already out skating with friends and wouldn't see them until morning.

Lulu immediately felt dumb for bringing the cupcakes, and Dante had to be honest. Rocco didn't eat those cupcakes when Dante bought them a few years ago because they reminded him of Lulu. Hearing all of this made Lulu feel like a terrible mom because she barely knew her own son. Dante assured Lulu she was a good mom, even when she flew off to Prague to find her other child.

Lulu wanted to give Rocco what he really needed, but Dante insisted the only thing Rocco really needed was his mom. "Rocco has a light in his eye that I haven't seen since he was a kid, and that's because of you," Dante said.

At The Savoy, Portia tried to get Curtis to tell her who the special live performer would be that night, but his lips were sealed. The couple was happy to see Trina walk in with Kai. She gave her mom a small, excited smile and sat down at her table. Curtis had to convince Portia not to interrupt them.

At their table, Kai asked Trina what she thought of the club. His friends had recommended it as the hottest place in town, and he had to pull some strings to get in. Trina then had a confession to make. Her dad owned the place. When Trina waved at Curtis, it gave permission for Portia and Curtis to walk over and see how Trina's date was going.

Spinelli assured Maxie he was at The Savoy, ready to play Cupid for Lucas. He also assured Lucas that Maxie had found him the perfect guy. Just then, Brad walked in. Spinelli promised Lucas that Brad was not the man Maxie had in mind.

Spinelli introduced Lucas to a man named Gunther, who Maxie felt was the right match for Lucas. He was a model who bragged about his runway work in Milan. Poor Brad sat at the bar and watched Lucas enjoy his date while drowning his sorrows in booze.

At his table, Lucas admitted to Gunther that he hadn't been on a date in ages. Gunther took that to mean Lucas wasn't ready to date. He suggested that Lucas get his number from Maxie when he became ready. After Gunther left, Lucas approached Brad and asked him if he wanted some company.

Brook Lynn and Chase soon arrived and were disappointed to learn that Maxie was home with a cold. Spinelli was a hot mess knowing that Gunther left and he'd let down Maxie. He was further disturbed to see Lucas and Brad enjoying a drink together at the bar.

Soon, Curtis introduced the special musical guest. As expected, Chase walked on stage with a special surprise for Brook Lynn. He performed a song Brook Lynn had written, causing her to nearly swoon.

Carly cleaned her kitchen after baking with Avery and Donna — until Jack showed up with a bouquet of flowers and a bottle of champagne to distract her. When Carly went to put the flowers in water, the sink suddenly sprung a leak, spraying water all over the kitchen.

Jack got the sink situation under control, but not before they were both soaking wet. He then impressed Carly by fixing her plumbing. Carly was impressed with Jack's skills when her faucet worked without issues. Jack confessed that his father was a plumber, so he never doubted he could get the job done.

Carly was surprised that Jack didn't descend from a long line of superspies, but she was also pleased to realize that she was the only person who knew Jack was a plumber's son. "I like knowing something about you that nobody else does," she smiled.
