Thursday, May 23, 2019: On General Hospital today, Jordan takes a turn for the worse, Sam is vulnerable to Shiloh, Sonny calls Margaux, and Brad scrambles.

In the Metro Court lobby, Brad tries to talk Lucas down from believing Willow is Wiley’s mother. In doing so, he reminds him Wiley is theirs legally. Lucas counters that if Willow never told Shiloh about the baby, that might not be true. Curtis and Laura rush into the ballroom as Lucy, Felicia and Mac tend to a passed out Kevin. Curtis updates Chase on what happened in Canada, as Kevin comes to, worried about Ava. Chase sees Willow talking with Michael and asks what’s bothering her. She relays that Shiloh knows about the baby. Michael assures her they’ll protect her son and offers to take her home. She says she’s fine, but Chase wants to make sure she’s safe since he has to work. She relents and Michael escorts her out. As Lucy tries to wrap her head around no one being surprised Ryan is alive, Curtis checks in with Laura before heading out. Margaux passes him on her way in and faces a ticked off Laura, who blames her for the dead woman they found in Canada. Margaux defends her decision to call off the search for Ryan and then learns about Ava and Kevin’s plan to lure Ryan out. Lucy cackles that she knew Kevin would never fall for Ava. Margaux asks Lucy to leave since she’s not involved, which she begrudgingly does. After the group fills Margaux in, she authorizes Chase to use full lethal force if necessary to take down Ryan. As Willow and Michael leave, they run into an irate Lucas. Michael is confused as he connects the dots. Willow explains she didn’t tell him Wiley was her son because of Shiloh. Brad defends Shiloh and DoD until Willow tells him it’s a cult. Michael says they need to work together to protect Wiley.
