GH Recap November 10: Molly and Joe Hit Pay Dirt, Ava Reveals the Truth About Phoebe

On the Tuesday, November 10, 2026, episode of General Hospital, the PCPD did its job, Brook Lynn met with Ava, Jason made a foolish choice, and Trina and Gio tried to put their foot down.

At the Metro Court

Brook Lynn and Ava sat down at the Metro Court restaurant, where Brook Lynn reminded Ava that she had told her to keep fighting to keep Phoebe. She asked if Ava knew anything about Phoebe's father. Ava had to admit that she did. She told Brook Lynn that Ethan had claimed to be Phoebe's father and signed the adoption papers, but it was all a lie.

"Ethan told me that he was protecting Phoebe from her actual, biological father," Ava said, alarming Brook Lynn. She begged Ava not to breathe a word of this to anyone else. Ava promised to keep her mouth shut.

Emma approached Heather, who was sitting alone at the small table. Emma took Heather to task for her stunt at the Cat's Eye. Heather assured Emma that she didn't want to hurt anyone. "I'm so sorry I scared you and your friends back when you were eight," Heather said.

"You need to stay away because you're not coming after my friend again, you crazy b***h," Emma said. Heather had quite a retort, telling Emma that back in her day, people who spoke like that had their mouths washed out with soap. Heather said she refused to be defined by things she did when she was sick.

"Diane, Ava Jerome, Britt Westbourne? They can say anything they want to me any time they want to. I'll take it. But you have no right," Heather said. Ava suddenly approached, saying, "I believe I heard my name." Emma left the two women to talk.

"Heather, I'm going to make myself real clear. If you ever come near me or my daughter or Trina again, I will slice you like a cheap steak," Ava said, while making sure that Heather saw the steak knife tucked near her purse. "And I wouldn't blame you," Heather said, just before a cop arrived to escort her to the PCPD.

At another table, Lucy and Felicia caught up over breakfast. Felicia offered a Maxie update. She was still coping with the Cassius fiasco, but Maxie, Spinelli, and the kids were settling in nicely. Lucy asked if or when Maxie would be back, so Felicia accused her of wanting to sell Maxie's house.

Felicia also noticed Emma and Heather arguing. When Ava had her turn, Felicia took Emma aside and warned her to stay away from Heather. "You can't allow a person like Heather Webber to position themselves as a victim," Felicia warned. Emma didn't want to listen.

With Felicia gone, Serena sat down with Lucy and told her mom Jason gave them what they wanted. When Ava approached, she asked how Scotty was doing. Lucy made some snide remarks before Ava walked away. However, she did overhear Serena tell Lucy she helped get Carly and Valentin released.

Music Time

At the Cat's Eye Lounge, Gio was ready to tell Simon they would take a break from performing while Trina had a stalker out there. Trina didn't think that would matter. "To Simon, we are a commodity," she said. "He'll just have to understand. He'll cope," Gio said. Trina wasn't so sure.

Trina went over everything that happened with The Hook murders. She knew Heather had cobalt poisoning, "but I can't get past the fact that Heather did all these terrible things and I was the reason for them." She couldn't get it out of her head that Heather had to be her stalker.

When Simon arrived, he told Trina and Gio that they had been booked to open for a big act at the Port Charles Arena. Simon was shocked that they wanted to turn the gig down. He told them they either did it or they were done. Trina agreed to do it.

Police Business

In the PCPD interrogation room, Joe, Molly, and Dante agreed that Tristan's story checked out. "Which means it is entirely possible that he witnessed Ava and Drew moving Jack Brennan's body," Molly said. She also thought the evidence was circumstantial, so they needed a motive.

"I got the distinct impression that Ava would chew off her arm if it meant she could get away from me," Joe said of his interview with Ava. Before he could say more, Portia appeared and asked Dante when he planned to arrest Heather. Dante asked Joe and Molly to leave so he could tell Portia there wasn't much he could do unless Heather committed a crime.

Portia disagreed. "Ever since she's been back, Heather has been stalking my daughter," Portia said. Dante heard Portia out, but said Trina needed to report this herself. Portia told Dante everything Heather had done, including establishing a scholarship in Trina's name. Dante admitted that was odd, but that Heather could be trying to make amends.

Later, Heather was right where Dante wanted her. As soon as Heather saw Portia, she knew what this was about. Heather told Portia she forgave her for tampering with her test results. She understood why Portia had done it. She promised to keep her distance from Trina, but Port Charles was her home and she had no intention of leaving. Dante had no choice but to let Heather go.

Back in the bullpen, Molly and Joe worked out scenarios. They figured out that Drew must have cut the security via a computer virus and Ava had slipped Jack a sleeping pill. Joe had already received Drew's medical records from Lulu. When he went digging, he learned that Drew had received a prescription for sleeping pills right around when Jack had disappeared.

Deceptive Deception

In the Deception office, Serena went to work trying to convince Jason to give creative control of the company to her and Lucy. She tried to hand him a coffee he refused to accept. So, she showed him the contract she wanted him to sign. When he refused, Serena said that she owed him. "I don't owe you anything," Jason said.

Serena claimed they had a deal, but Jason said they did not. He told her not to make the statement, but she went ahead and did it anyway. Serena and Jason argued back and forth, with Jason actually agreeing to creative control — on one condition. She had to stay out of Carly's life. They then shook on a deal.

As Serena tried to tell Jason her new ideas, Brook Lynn appeared and insisted on talking to her cousin. Serena left so Brook Lynn could talk. "If anyone goes digging, my daughter's adoption won't hold up," Brook Lynn said. Jason assured Brook Lynn that "Jude will be stopped. Whatever it takes."
