General Hospital recap for Tuesday, October 29, 2024: Michael learned the truth about Drew and Willow

At the Quartermaine stables, Holly told Sasha she was the only mother she had. Holly acknowledged that Sasha needed her but didn't want Holly around. Sasha angrily pointed out that Holly wasn't there when her baby and Brando died. Holly claimed she learned about Brando and Liam after the fact.

Holly explained she was trying to respect Sasha's wishes to stay away from her. An outraged Sasha lashed out. "Since when have you ever cared what I wanted? Just admit that you stayed away 'cause you couldn't be bothered."

Sasha also pointed out that Gladys had her locked in an asylum. She could have used some motherly love then. "This is too little too late," Sasha screamed. She explained how Cody got himself committed so he could save her. Holly said she was grateful that Sasha had Cody and wished they could stay together, but it was impossible.

Holly apologized for not being a better mother. Sasha claimed that after her grandmother died, she tried to make a life for herself, but it kept falling apart. Now, her life was in shambles because Holly never told her who her father was until after she had fallen for Cody.

After Sasha asked why Holly couldn't have been a normal mother with a normal job, Holly thought it was a good time to tell Sasha she'd just pulled off the "biggest job of my career."

Sasha wasn't impressed, but Holly told her she was now "in a position to set up my daughter for life." Sasha told her mother that she didn't want any of her money.

After a drunken Cody decked Drew and announced Drew had been "making out with your nephew's wife while banging her mom," Drew punched Cody back. Nina was horrified that her secret was now out while Elaine stood in a corner and recorded the whole thing.

The cops soon rushed in. Dex took Cody to the police station, but Drew said he didn't want to press charges. Drew did some damage control and bought a round of drinks for the house. Once in the interrogation room, Cody told Dex that Drew deserved what he got. Mac soon arrived to talk to his son about Sasha.

Cody admitted he'd always known finding someone like Sasha was too good to be true, and he was afraid he'd do something to screw things up. "I was a better guy with Sasha," Cody admitted.

When Cody told Mac he planned to leave town, Mac said he was sorry to see him go. Cody didn't really want to leave Port Charles, but he said it was too hard to be around Sasha without being able to be "with her." Mac told his son that it wouldn't be easier even if there were distance.

"Sasha didn't make you a better man. She may have been the reason, but you did the work, Cody. It would be a real shame for you to give up now," Mac said. Mac finally convinced Cody to stick around Port Charles.

As for Sasha, she ended up at the Brown Dog, where she ordered a vodka on the rocks.

At the gatehouse, Michael kept his hands over his eyes as Wiley prepared to show him his Halloween costume. Michael was impressed to see Wiley dressed as Sherlock Holmes. Michael surprised Wiley with a Watson costume.

Nina soon arrived, so Michael took Wiley to the main house, so Willow and Nina could talk privately. Once alone, Nina warned Willow to tell Michael the truth about Drew immediately. Willow reasoned that she had just had a harmless crush on Drew and that barely anything had happened.

Nina pointed out that something had happened, and it was only a matter of time before Michael found out. "I hate to tell you, but your circle of trust isn't as tight as you think it is," Nina said. Willow was shocked when Nina told her what happened with Cody and Drew at the Brown Dog.

In the Quartermaine living room, Tracy hung up on another reporter asking questions about Drew's campaign. Ned assured Tracy it would all be over soon. Just then, Elaine's video arrived. Ned and Tracy gleefully watched it together. Ned explained he'd heard from an "unusual but credible" source that Drew was up to no good with Willow, so he had a detective follow Drew.

Ned felt uncomfortable bringing negative attention to the family. He just wanted to use the video to get Drew to sign over his ELQ shares. Tracy suggested that Ned tell Michael everything so they could get rid of Drew once and for all. Ned also thought of using the video as leverage if Drew won. "I could have a congressman under my thumb," Ned said.

Drew finally arrived home to find Tracy standing in front of him with a smirk on her face. Drew explained that he had just broken up a fight at the Brown Dog and wanted to go to bed, but Ned wanted to talk. "You, from now on, are going to do exactly as we say," Ned announced before showing Drew the video.

Ned and Tracy demanded that Drew make Ned CEO tomorrow. "You get elected, Willow continues to be Michael's dutiful wife, and Michael is none the wiser," Tracy said with glee.

Drew was horrified and tried to make Cody out to be a liar. Tracy said she'd take Cody's word over his any day. "What about James West? He heard Willow talking about kissing you. How do you plan to handle that little kid? Will you tarnish his reputation or just punch him out like you did Cody?" Ned asked.

When Michael showed up, Drew tried to tell him the truth, but Willow and Nina walked in first. Willow tried to stop Drew from talking, but Drew couldn't help himself. "Last Fourth of July, I kissed your wife. We didn't mean for it to happen. It just did," Drew said.

Willow quickly jumped in and told Michael it didn't mean anything, but a devastated Michael quietly walked away as Nina embraced Willow.

Lucky arrived at the hospital to check on Lulu while Aiden, Laura, and Elizabeth waited for news. Lucky quickly asked if there was any news about Sam and Lulu, so Laura updated him. Aiden and Elizabeth decided to head home since Lucky would wait with Laura.

Lucky informed Laura he had spent the entire day jumping through bureaucratic hoops to obtain an emergency passport. Laura asked if Lucky planned to use it, but he didn't answer. Laura mused that there was so much she didn't even know about Lucky's life.

Lucky explained how he met Isaiah and how close they became when helping people in Africa. When Laura called Lucky brave, he admitted that Isaiah was, but that he was always running.

Laura blamed herself for Lucky being a wandering soul. After all, she and Luke raised Lucky while on the run for the first 11 years of his life. "That instinct is in you because of the way your father and I raised you," Laura said.

As Lucky continued pointing out his faults, Laura tossed them aside and reminded Lucky how happy everyone was that he was there. "No matter where I go in the world, home is where you are," Lucky told Laura.

When Elizabeth returned dressed in her street clothes rather than her scrubs, Isaiah appeared with an update on Lulu. The surgery went well, and Isaiah was optimistic about Lulu's prognosis.

Sam awoke from her surgery to find Dante sitting by her bedside. The first thing she asked was how Lulu was. Dante told her that Lulu was still in surgery and they were waiting on an update. Dante also informed Sam that she would be able to go home next week.

As Sam went on about Scout's school bake sale, Dante told her he had a question. Sam was shocked when Dante pulled a stunning engagement ring out of his pocket and asked her to marry him. Sam didn't answer right away. Instead, she told Dante it was okay if he still loved Lulu.

"You don't have to propose to me to thank me for being Lulu's donor or to prove to me that you love me too," Sam said. Dante told Sam he wanted to marry her because he wanted them to grow old together. Sam finally told Dante yes as he slipped the ring on her finger.
