General Hospital (GH) spoilers recap for Thursday, September 26, reveals that Stella Henry (Vernee Watson) met up with Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) at Gregory Chase’s (Gregory Harrison) bench, where she was still cranky over the whole brunch situation with Sasha Gilmore Corbin (Sofia Mattsson) and Cody Bell (Josh Kelly).
When Stella found out it was Cody and Sasha’s day off, she sided with them and realized what was really going on.
Stella pushed Tracy to admit she was scared of Cody slipping away as a friend since she’d already faced too many tough losses.
Tracy ultimately realized she should apologize to Sasha and Cody, so she was grateful to Stella for being a good friend and offering her guidance.
After Cody had a chat with James West (Gary James Fuller) at the stables, he talked to Sasha about her being his family, too.
Cody and Sasha fell back on the table as passion erupted, but Tracy walked in and derailed their encounter.
At the Quartermaine mansion, Drew Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison) bickered with Ned Quartermaine (Wally Kurth) about the future of ELQ.
With Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) gone, Drew thought Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) should step up.
Ned wanted to run ELQ instead, so Michael got caught up in the confrontation and delayed his date with Willow Corinthos (Katelyn MacMullen) to debate it.
Willow headed off to the boathouse so wait for Michael and seemed eager to avoid Drew.
Once Drew grew concerned about Willow, he suddenly acted like Ned was right and left him to finish talking things over with Michael.
After Drew excused himself, Ned warned Michael about Drew being a true Quartermaine – one who couldn’t be trusted.
At the boathouse, Drew tried to check on Willow, but she reminded him that she’d repeatedly warned him to stay away.
Willow had feelings for Drew that jeopardized her marriage, so she warned him to leave her alone.
While Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) was dealing with Deception business, she asked Ned to watch James.
That led to James asking Ned questions about kissing and why it would make someone sad instead of happy.
James also wondered if sad and guilty were the same thing, but Ned struggled to understand what he was getting at.
As James explained, he said he heard Willow tell Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) that she felt guilty about kissing Drew.
Ned looked floored over James’ news on Thursday’s GH episode.
At Jenz Sidwell’s (Carlo Rota) camp, Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) and Holly Sutton (Emma Samms) were thrown into a jail cell together.
Anna failed to pick the lock and tried to give Holly a final message for Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers) to give Robin Scorpio (Kimberly McCullough).
Holly couldn’t tell Robert that she left Anna there to face a grim fate, but Anna acted like that’s how it had to be.
Based on Sidwell’s rules, Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) would have to lose the card game so Lucky could survive and help Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins).
Meanwhile, Sidwell stepped out of the room with the card table briefly, so Jason had just enough time to give Lucky updates on Lulu’s failing liver.
Jason said Lucky was Lulu’s best chance at a match, so Lucky needed to get back to Port Charles ASAP.
Sidwell returned and stuck to his rules – meaning Lucky was playing for his own life along with Holly’s and Jason was playing for his life as well as Anna’s.
If Sidwell won, he reiterated that none of them would survive.
Lucky emerged victorious once the cards were dealt, but Sidwell made it clear that this didn’t change their earlier deal.
However, Lucky thought he should get his freedom instead of his survival if he won the next hand.
After Holly was bought back in, Sidwell upped the stakes and suggested Lucky would keep playing to save Holly’s life along with his own.
Holly eventually grabbed Sidwell’s gun and held it on him while Lucky freed himself from his restraints.
Unfortunately, Sidwell knocked the gun away from Holly and scrambled to get his hands on it while Lucky did the same.
Meanwhile, Jason was brought to Anna’s cell, where he admitted he lost the game. Anna said she knew that he would and tried to pick the lock of his handcuffs.
As Anna became panicky, Jason worked to calm her down. Anna assumed they would really lose their lives tonight, so she hugged Jason and almost locked lips with him.
Jason and Anna were interrupted by the sound of the door clanging nearby, but then Jason dove in for a passionate kiss that Anna reciprocated.
General Hospital spoilers say Anna and Jason will make another escape attempt soon, but our predictions hint that an unexpected hero will be the one to save the day!
