General Hospital Recap: Who Shot Dante?

Cyrus arrives at Laura’s place per her invitation. Laura invites him in, and he wonders what precipitated this step forward in their relationship. Laura says Kevin is with a patient at the hospital, and Ace is sick, so she couldn’t leave him alone.

They sit down, and Laura knows he helped Anna try and get information from the gun dealer and she appreciates that. He admits he didn’t get too much out of the guy other than he’s afraid of a guy named Stone, who has convinced everyone he’s dead. She knows his microphone was damaged when Heather attacked, so they couldn’t get everything recorded.

Cyrus asks if she’s accusing him of leaving something out of his statement. He swears on his mother’s life that he relayed everything the gun dealer said. He asks why she won’t let herself believe him. Suddenly, Ace cries, so she has to go check on him.

At the hospital, Portia and Liz go into a room to deal with Heather, who has been brought in. Heather was injured in Pentonvile when the guards had to drag her away from Cyrus. She complains it flared up an old hip injury and her hip replacement, and she also has a rash on her back from the awful sheets there. She complains the cuffs they have on her are hurting her wrist and asks if they can be taken off. Portia says they have to keep her in the cuffs because it’s standard procedure with an inmate. Portia finds she does have a fever, and Heather cries she’s in pain. Portia says they will get her in for MRIs as soon as possible.

Portia and Liz leave, and Portia orders an MRI on Heather ASAP. Portia tells Liz the sooner they get her to Pentonville, the better for everyone.

Heather is wheeled out to go for her MRI, sees Cyrus with Laura and Ace, and yells at him to get away from her grandson. She wants to know what is wrong with Ace, and Laura says he’s sick. She thinks Laura didn’t help keep Esme safe because wanted Ace all to herself and now Esme is dead. Laura assures Heather she did everything she could to help Esme and reminds her that she lost her grandson too. Heather says, “Well at least there is some justice.”

Outraged, Laura speeds off with Ace, and Heather is taken for her MRI. Cyrus stays behind and asks Portia how her husband Curtis is doing. Portia has had a long day and she’s tired, so she doesn’t want to talk to him, especially about her husband. She reminds him that she told him to stay away from her. Cyrus was hoping her feelings may have changed over the past five months, but Portia insists she will never forgive him for terrorizing her and her daughter. She for once agrees with Heather, and he is to stay away from her child. He is sorry he’s caused her this much grief and anger and hopes she can find some way to forgive him one day and see he is no longer the wretch who terrorized her family. His life today is about helping others. Portia says if he wants to help then stay away from her family. She walks off.
