General Hospital recap for Wednesday, February 19, 2025: Cyrus explains his murder spree, then stabs Lucky

Cyrus politely asked Elizabeth if he could come in because he had an urgent matter to discuss. Liz told him that it wasn't a good time and tried to close the door, but Cyrus wouldn't let her. "You don't understand. I'm afraid this can't wait," he said before walking straight into a terrified Elizabeth's living room.

Cyrus feigned surprise at Elizabeth's noticeable fear. "I thought you would be excited to see me because there's so much you want to know about me. You have been asking around, yes? I thought I'd just give you an opportunity to ask me whatever you'd want right to my face," he said.

Elizabeth didn't deny asking questions at Turning Woods. A visibly agitated Cyrus asked what she'd learned during her inquiries. Liz still did her best to get rid of Cyrus but finally gave up and started asking. "Fine, I'll start at the beginning," she said. "Let there be light?" Cyrus quipped before Liz asked a shocking query — "Why did you try to kill Lulu?"

Cyrus had no trouble giving Lulu a direct answer. "My niece had been in a coma for four years with no sign that she would ever improve," Cyrus confessed. Liz pointed out that Laura and Rocco had never given up hope. "What was poor Lulu enduring while they were hoping?" Cyrus angrily asked.

Cyrus reasoned that as a nurse, Liz was focused on the physical and what could be observed. "As a man of God, I focus on what can't be observed, the spiritual. Are you spiritual, Nurse Baldwin?" Cyrus asked. Liz said that she was so Cyrus had hope that she would understand his motives.

Cyrus explained his reasoning behind his killing spree. "You've seen people trapped in a bed hooked up to machines, but just because people can be kept alive doesn't mean they should, yes?" he asked. Liz believed it should be the patient's choice, but Cyrus wondered what to do if the patient was incapable of making the choice.

Elizabeth said she had watched families make that agonizing decision for their loved ones, but then realized that Lulu was Cyrus' family and he was making a choice for her. Liz wondered why he killed the others, so Cyrus reasoned that they were all God's children. "When I was volunteering, I had seen so many people trapped in their own hell, and I saw God had given me this mission to free these imprisoned souls," Cyrus rationalized in tears.

Cyrus looked up at the heavens and felt God had wanted him to return these people to "the glorious light that leads to him." Cyrus broke down in hysterics and admitted he had to put Lulu out of her misery. "Wasn't Lulu entitled to that beauty?" he asked.

"So, that's why you turned off her ventilator," she said. "No, that was much later," Cyrus admitted. He first tried giving her a medication she didn't really need, which led to her liver failure. "If only the Lord had taken my sweet niece then," he sighed.

"I understand why you did what you did for Lulu and the other patients, but why Sam? Why did you kill Sam McCall?" Liz asked. Cyrus explained that Sam had gotten in the way of Cyrus' mission by trying to save Lulu. "It was a consequence of her obstructing the Lord's will," he explained. When he killed Sam, it was the first time he realized he could use Digitalis to free all these other people.

"If it wasn't for Sam, I wouldn't have discovered Digitalis," Cyrus said. Liz understood. "It's fast, effective, and relatively painless," Liz nodded. She next asked why Dex had to die so Cyrus explained it was because Dex was getting too close to discovering what happened to Sam.

"So, you eliminated a witness? Forgive me for saying this, but that sounds less like the will of God and more like something the old Cyrus would do," Liz stated. Cyrus reasoned that Dex nearly killed him last year on Sonny's orders. Cyrus still claimed he didn't feel any malice toward Dex.

Cyrus was overcome with emotion when Liz understood that he had to kill Dex so he could continue his mission and free other souls. Finally, Elizabeth brought up Cyrus' dear beloved mother, who was also suffering in a long-term care facility. "Yes, my mother's suffering is what has awakened me to my purpose," Cyrus confessed. "If I could, I would set her free, just like any good son," he added.

Liz felt she had Cyrus calm enough to listen to her, so she tried to feign understanding. "Now I know your purpose is not unlike mine, to help and to heal," she said. Cyrus believed she understood that nothing could jeopardize the mission, so he removed the syringe of Digitalis from his pocket. He grabbed Liz's arm and got ready to inject before Lucky stormed in.

Liz was able to get away and ran for her phone to call 911 while Cyrus and Lucky struggled. Liz's face went white when she saw the syringe in Lucky's thigh.

Jack and Carly enjoyed vintage champagne in her kitchen. Carly recognized it as the same one they'd had in Germany. Their kissing session was cut short when Donna called out for her mom.

Carly brought Donna down to the kitchen. Donna told Jack he looked tired and that he should go to bed. Donna had a bad dream, so Jack explained why people had bad dreams. Donna asked about espionage next, but when Jack tried to explain, Carly put a stop to it and brought Donna back to her room. When Carly and Donna left the kitchen, Jack received a text and quickly had to leave.

Emma and Gio sat down at the counter at Bobbie's while Joss tried to get someone to cover for her. Emma asked Joss to be a part of the animal rights benefit she was organizing. Joss disappointed Emma by claiming she didn't have time to help. As soon as someone arrived to cover her shift, Josslyn took off for Cyrus' hideout.

Chase and Dante met up at Bobbie's after an emergency at Deception forced Brook Lynn and Lulu to work. Dante wanted to know all about the concert at The Savoy. Chase was proud of his big surprise. "I had to do something spectacular to make it up to Brook Lynn," Chase confessed.

Dante was confused since Chase was such a good husband. Chase finally told Dante the truth. "It turns out that I'm not able to give my wife the one thing that she really wants," he admitted. "I can't give Brook Lynn the family that we want to have," Chase added.

A panicked Lulu was happy when Brook Lynn arrived to smooth things over with a client in Helsinki. She then chastised Lulu for how rude she was on the phone. "But you're ok with him yelling at me?" a baffled Lulu asked. The two women continued to argue, with Lulu telling Brook Lynn she gets whatever she wants. She had the perfect job, and the perfect husband, and soon she would have perfect children.

Dante walked in to interrupt their fight. Brook Lynn left so Dante could hear Lulu vent about how wonderful Brook Lynn's life was. Dante ended up telling Lulu that Brook Lynn and Chase were having fertility problems.

Brad and Lucas continued chatting at The Savoy bar. Brad was sure that Lucas didn't expect his Valentine's Day to turn out like this, but Lucas wasn't complaining.

Portia and Curtis were dismayed when they saw Drew and Willow walk into The Savoy as if their relationship was perfectly normal. "Wow! Taking his nephew's wife out for Valentine's Day. That's a choice," Portia remarked.

Curtis could barely believe Drew would show his face at The Savoy after what happened between the two of them, calling it a "show of disrespect." Drew went as far as telling Nneka to deny Drew service the next time he wanted to book a table.

While Portia and Curtis gossiped about Drew and Willow, Willow couldn't help but gossip about Brad and Lucas being together. Willow announced that she would never forgive Brad for what he did. Just then, Curtis approached the table and told Drew that he didn't want him there.

Curtis took Drew aside and told him that Michael's wife was more than welcome to stay, but Drew needed to leave. "I don't want you here. It's my club, and I reserve the right to refuse service to anyone," Curis frankly said. Drew then told Willow he had a surprise for her, and they left.

At the bar, Brad and Lucas gossiped about Drew and Willow, with Brad noting that Willow was giving them the stink eye. Brad found that to be ironic. "I may not be one to judge, but she is clearly on a date with her husband's uncle while said husband is in a German burn unit. That's just wrong on so many levels," Brad noted.

"It must be hard being the one everyone's looking at and judging," Lucas commented. Brad admitted that he knew what it felt like. Lucas remarked that Willow didn't seem very happy for someone who was supposed to be in love.

However, Willow was happy when Drew showed her the house he had just bought. She was stunned when Drew asked her to move in with him.
