On the Wednesday, June 17, 2026, episode of General Hospital, Cullum thought he finally found his figitive, chaos reigned at the Quartermaines’, and Scout and Drew both ended up at the hospital.
A Curious Time With Cullum
At Wyndemere, Cullum noted to his goon that he should have suspected Carly of hiding something from the start. Between Carly’s visit last week and Charlotte’s visit a few weeks ago, things were starting to make sense for Cullum. Soon, Lulu arrived at Cullum’s behest.
Ethan was right behind Lulu, as he came along for the ride to keep his sister safe. Cullum didn’t like seeing Ethan there, but finally cut to the chase. He wanted to talk about Rocco. Cullum poured on the creepy charm and said he enjoyed meeting him during his time in the hospital.
Cullum was hoping to thank Rocco for his kindness and wondered where he had been. Lulu just claimed that Rocco was out of town. Cullum shook her hand as she got ready to leave, which unnerved Lulu. She immediately went to see Dante and told him about the encounter.
Goodbye to Valentin
In Carly’s bedroom, she and Valentin lay in bed after making love. Valentin said he was just taking it all in before leaving for Geneva to turn himself in. Valentin didn’t want this to be their last night together and told Carly that the last few months had been the most surprising of his life. “Surprisingly good, surprisingly incredible, and surprisingly special,” Valentin said before kissing Carly again.
Valentin tried to remain optimistic that he would be able to get to the head of the WSB and give them enough info that they wouldn’t shoot and jail him. Carly knew he was doing this all for her daughter, so she was going to make sure he could say goodbye to his own daughter.
Carly’s next task was to pick up Charlotte and bring her to see Valentin. When Charlotte walked into the kitchen and saw her dad in a suit with a packed bag, she assumed they were leaving together. But Valentin said he was leaving on his own and didn’t know when they would see one another again. Charlotte was horrified to learn that Valentin planned to turn himself in.
Carly stepped outside so father and daughter could have a moment alone. Charlotte was sure that Valentin was putting on an act for Carly, but he said he was telling the truth. He also balked at Charlotte’s frantic idea to go to the WSB herself. Valentin took Charlotte in his arms and told her that running was no longer the answer.
Valentin and Charlotte said a tender goodbye with Carly watching. But the next thing we knew, Charlotte and Carly were baking when Cullum and his agents burst in looking for Valentin. Carly told them to search the property because they wouldn’t find anything. And they didn’t. When Cullum and his WSB agents left, Carly worried that this wasn’t the end of it.
Dante Chastises Chase
Dante approached Chase as he emerged from the lake outside the Q boathouse and started questioning him about what he was thinking, by arresting Tracy. “Have you learned from past mistakes with Willow and the law?” Dante asked.
Chase didn’t see what he did wrong. Willow was injured in his mind. Dante reminded Chase that Willow had a scraped knee. Dante accused Chase of arresting Tracy because Willow wanted him to. Dante pointed out that a good cop de-escalates and doesn’t throw their authority around.
Dante reminded Chase that when he first met him back in 2018, Chase had this drive to do right by people. Dante asked Chase if he felt he had done right by people today, “your wife in particular.” An offended Chase insisted that Brook Lynn was always his number one priority. Dante tried to convince Chase that he really did hurt his wife and needed to apologize.
Tracy and Brook Lynn Have it Out
When Tracy returned to the kitchen, she implied that Brook Lynn only took Willow’s side for Chase’s benefit, but Brook Lynn denied it. She accused Tracy of luring Willow to the boathouse. Tracy defended herself, claiming her text was just information and not an invitation.
Tracy thought there was something strange going on with Brook Lynn. It wasn’t like her to accept Willow’s explanation so easily. Brook Lynn admitted that it bothered her that Chase could never see the bad in Willow, but she felt it was exhausting to keep trying to change his mind.
Tracy wasn’t satisfied with that answer. Brook Lynn wasn’t one to back down, but she was trying to fit into the mold of a perfect wife for Chase. “Our bloodline has never produced a woman who made herself small to keep a man. Don’t you dare become the first,” Tracy demanded.
Tracy and Brook Lynn went a few more rounds, with Tracy asking Brook Lynn if she believed her or Willow. Brook Lynn said she believed in herself, which caused Tracy to back down. Tracy begged Brook Lynn to be true to herself before walking off. Brook Lynn quietly vowed that she will.
Close Call at GH
Elizabeth greeted Willow when she brought Drew into the hospital for an evening neurology checkup. Drew stared as he spotted Danny sitting on a bench, icing Scout’s ankle. Molly arrived to take care of Scout and asked her what had happened.
Scout explained that she snuck out the window onto a tree and fell. Molly accused Danny of teaching Scout bad habits. Elizabeth assured them all that it was just a twist or a sprain and Scout would be fine. Scout spotted her dad so they rode the elevators tomorrow as Liz took Scout to X-ray.
When everyone else was gone, Molly and Danny worried about what Drew might be thinking, seeing him with Scout and seeing that Scout had been injured. As Molly later explained to Elizabeth, the restraining order against Danny was never officially lifted. Willow just didn’t enforce it.
While Drew was in with the doctor, Willow and Felicia sat down to talk about Drew. Willow told Felicia she was sure Drew felt awful not being able to comfort Scout earlier. But Felicia had good news. She’d made arrangements to get Drew a device so he could communicate. Willow was relieved to hear there was a wait list.
Before leaving the hospital, Scout told Willow that she worried she wouldn’t be allowed to see Danny anymore, but Willow assured her that she wouldn’t take away that privilege.
Later, Elizabeth was happy to see Ethan at the nurses’ hub. He apparently had an appointment for a DNA cheek swab. When Liz left Ethan in the room for a moment, he grabbed the sample, put it in his pocket, and replaced it with another one.
Will Drew allow Danny to see Scout when he is locked out? Will Valentin end up back in prison or back with Anna? (Or Carly?) Let us know what you think in the comments below.
