Welcome to the General Hospital Daily Y.A.P.P. (Your After-Program Ponderings) for a quick — and by that, I mean you’re already halfway done — recap of the most amazing or what-the-heck-did-we-just-watch moments on today’s episode. Let’s get to it:

What happened on General Hospital

Josslyn and Emma had some fascinating and revealing bonding scenes on Monday after Josslyn found Emma stuck in a dumpster. However, she didn't ask Emma exactly why she was lying there amongst the trash, just scrolling on her phone like it was a totally normal thing. Shouldn't that be the first thing that a WSB agent would ask when they find their frenemy in a dumpster outside a hospital? Are Joss' super spy skills rusty already? Perhaps Joss did find this to be perfectly normal since her first romantic moment with Dex took place right in that very same dumpster, but at least we knew why they were there. The pair was looking for Avery's lost bracelet. But Emma's trip with the trash bags remains a mystery — and we want it solved. We even went back and re-watched their scenes to see if Emma offered an explanation for her predicament, but came up empty. Ultimately, the scenes between the girls were very telling as they recited the reasons they never really liked each other. As elementary school students, they envied the other and thought each one had it better than they did. The scenes were eye-opening for the audience and both characters, but they would have hit much better if we hadn't spent the entirety of them wondering just how Emma ended up in that dumpster, to begin with. Maybe this is a job for Anna Devane, the real PC super spy extraordinaire.
