What happened on General Hospital

Nathan and Lulu got stuck together | Image: ABC

Nathan met up with Lulu at General Hospital, where she was picking up Rocco from his community service duties. She asked Nathan to drive her to the stables because she feared driving her car in the snow.

When Rocco was ready, they headed to the Qs to drop him off before looking for Charlotte. Later, Nathan and Lulu got as far as the former garage turned coffee shop, where they sheltered to wait out the storm.

Carly walked into her attic, surprised that Charlotte wasn't there. Valentin didn't understand why Carly thought his daughter would be there until Carly told him she had taken off from the Metro Court without telling anyone. Carly was sure she would show up there soon, but Valentin was still worried.

Valentin grew more alarmed as they waited for Charlotte. As he tracked the storm on his phone and watched out the window, he noted how dark and snowy it was outside. "There's no visibility. She could get lost. She could freeze to death," Valentin said as he started to head out.

Carly tried to stop him, telling Valentin that he had no clue what route Charlotte took. She also worried about what would happen if Charlotte showed up and he wasn't there. Valentin felt that he had to do something, but Carly told him he just had to wait. She also felt the same way, worrying about Josslyn in the WSB, but keeping her mouth shut about it.

Carly convinced Valentin to stay. They would ride out the storm together, playing checkers. "I have a sneaking suspicion that you cheat," Valentin said.

Danny promised to help Charlotte | Image: ABC

Charlotte ended up with Danny in the Q solarium, where she told him that she needed to see her dad. She wanted to warn him that someone had betrayed him. "This is an emergency. My dad put his trust in a backstabbing traitor," Charlotte said.

Charlotte filled Danny in on what she overheard between Nina and Jack. "I swear, Danny, my whole body went cold when I realized she was working against my dad," Charlotte admitted. Danny thought it made sense that Nina would do this to protect her daughter, but Charlotte made a good point, saying, "But I was her daughter too for a little while. The three of us were a family. My dad needs to know that she sold us out before it's too late."

She asked Danny for some boots and a coat so she could trek through the woods to Carly's house. Danny decided that he was going with her. However, when Danny got an alert on his phone telling people to shelter in place, Danny suggested they wait things out.

Later, when Rocco entered the solarium, he found nobody before spotting Charlotte's coat and scarf.

Josslyn is about to be in big trouble | Image: ABC

After cutting the power to Wyndemere, Josslyn broke into the newly remodeled castle to see what she could find. As she searched for one of the secret tunnels, she heard a noise and turned around with a start. She hid in a corner and was shocked when she spotted Ross Cullum lighting candles.

Josslyn made her presence known by putting on her ditzy girl act (is it an act?) and pretending she had just gotten there and was looking for Uncle Lucas. Collum looked at her like she had three heads. "Who are you and what are you doing here?" Cullum asked.

Josslyn turned around with a smile and introduced herself. She explained that she was on her way to a nearby island, but then the wind picked up, so she stopped at Wyndemere. Cullum lied and told her that he was Matthew, the caretaker.

Cullum found it odd that she took a boat in this kind of weather. Joss laughed it off. She was used to the water, but had underestimated the storm. Joss lied and said that she was headed to a keg party at a college friend's house on that other mystery island, but whoops, now she's stuck at Wyndemere.

Things grew creepy when Cullum offered Josslyn some brandy and snacks from his charcuterie board.

Tracy got snowed in with Marty | Image: ABC

In Anna's apartment, Gio and Emma got ready to help Tracy at Drew's house. Emma chastised Gio for not wearing gloves, warning him he'd be missing some fingers from frostbite whenever he decided to play the violin again. By the time they were set to leave, it was too late. There was no way to drive on the snowy roads. They were happy to be sheltering in place together.

Tracy let herself into Drew's house as she said she would do, but was confused when she saw the fireplace going. Just then, Marty appeared behind her and said he was within his legal rights to shoot her. They immediately began bickering, with Tracy not believing Marty when he told her that Willow knew he was there.

Tracy once again threatened to turn Marty in to the New York Bar Association for forging a will, but Marty reminded her of their truce and the promise she had made to Laura. Marty then accused Tracy of breaking and entering, but she said she had a key. Marty deduced she had gotten the key via Scout. "Tracy Quartermaine, did you take advantage of a little girl?" Marty asked, amused.

When Marty saw Tracy constantly looking out the window, he wondered if she was expecting someone. "My associates will be here any minute," she said. Marty asked if they were coming by dog sled. Tracy told him to just go to his room, but he refused. She needed peace and quiet to take back her belongings. Marty warned her that she had no right to take anything because she didn't have a legal leg to stand on.

Marty grew angry, reminding Tracy that Drew was in a hospital bed, unable to speak or move, "and all you can do is obsess about your stuff." He asked Tracy if she had compassion.

"If I had no compassion, I would have left him to bleed out instead of calling 911 when he was shot, like he did when my son was having a heart attack right in front of his face," Tracy shot back, stopping Marty in his tracks. Marty admitted that was an awful thing for Drew to do, but he still wanted Tracy gone. He said she could only stay if she asked him nicely.

Portia made excuses with Trina | Image: ABC

As Trina hung up on a call with Kai, she heard a knock at the door. Portia was there, hoping she could have a talk with her daughter. Portia figured the snowstorm would keep Trina from telling her to go away. "Trina, enough is enough. I won't let you keep ignoring me any longer," Portia said.

A cold Trina let her mother in and told her, "Say what you gotta say." Trina offered her mother cookies and tea. Portia accepted, but would have preferred the offer come with a little less attitude. Trina didn't want to hear her mom and tried to go to her room. Portia said that she didn't have to talk, but she was willing to listen if Trina wanted to go off on her.

Trina finally let loose. "How could you cheat on dad, get pregnant, and then let him think that the baby's his when you had no idea who the father was?" she demanded to know. Portia explained that her marriage had been problematic from the start. She chose to keep the truth about Drew's blackmail from Curtis just to avoid more conflict and fighting.

Portia also blamed Jordan for their problems and concluded that her marriage was just not going to work, which drove her to have an affair with Isaiah. "Let me make sure I am getting this right. You cheated on Dad and you're somehow making this his fault?" Trina asked. "Face it. It's your M.O. You cheated on Taggert, the man that I called my dad. And now, you've cheated on my real dad. I hope Dr. Gannon knows what he's in for."

Portia tried to make excuses for herself, telling Trina that the infidelity was just a symptom of her marriage falling apart. Trina didn't buy it, since cheating is a choice made by the person who decides to cheat. Trina pointed out she had promised never to lie and cheat again, and then she lied and cheated again. "That's who you are. A liar," Trina hissed.

Portia explained all her choices, telling Trina that she had just wanted to give her a stable home, but she regrets her lies now. She has no intention of lying about this new baby once she takes a paternity test.
