In the latest emotionally charged episodes of General Hospital, the lines between justice and vengeance blur, as a father-daughter duo sets a plan in motion that could change lives forever. The corridors of Port Charles hide more than secrets—they now echo with the consequences of betrayal, seduction, and heartbreak.

It all begins when Cody Bell, desperate and drowning in mounting personal debts, accepts a proposition from Christina Corinthos Davis—one that promises to solve his financial crisis but threatens to destroy everything else in its path. Christina, embittered and out for revenge, targets Ava Jerome, a woman she believes deserves to be brought down. Her weapon? Cody himself.

Christina’s plan is deceptively simple: get Cody to infiltrate Ava’s world, gain her trust, and seduce her emotionally and physically. In return, Cody will receive the money he desperately needs. But as he steps into this web of lies, Cody quickly realizes the task is more morally complex than he anticipated. He’s torn between the lure of redemption and the reality of manipulating someone who has shown him nothing but kindness.

Ava Jerome is no stranger to betrayal. A woman with a tragic past and hardened exterior, Ava has managed to maintain her poise and strength through some of Port Charles’ darkest storms. When Cody re-enters her orbit at the glittering reopening of the Metro Court, she’s caught off guard by his unexpected charm and sincerity. Draped in elegance and flanked by powerful figures, Ava is used to eyes watching her—but Cody’s attention feels different. Genuine. Disarming.

Throughout the gala, Cody smoothly navigates Ava’s guarded personality, disarming her with subtle flattery, shared vulnerability, and poignant observations about loneliness and redemption. As they talk of second chances and letting go of ghosts, Ava begins to let her guard down. Every move Cody makes—every empathetic glance and tender word—is carefully orchestrated according to Christina’s plan. But something unexpected begins to shift within Cody: he finds himself truly drawn to Ava, and his deception starts to weigh heavily on his conscience.

As the music softens and the party carries on behind them, Cody leads Ava onto a quiet terrace overlooking the river. The stars glimmer above the city, and Cody leans into their shared silence. Ava, moved by his attentiveness, follows him willingly into the more intimate setting of a private suite. Here, the walls of Ava’s defenses crumble. Cody speaks of fate, of feeling understood, and of not wanting to run anymore. Ava, touched by his words and desperate for connection, gives in. What follows is a night of passionate vulnerability, a shared escape from the chaos of their public lives.

But the night doesn’t stay secret for long.

Across the gala room, Rick Lancing, Ava’s on-again, off-again lover and business associate, watches with growing suspicion. At his side is Molly Lancing Davis, Rick’s daughter and a woman who had recently begun building an emotional connection with Cody. Their relationship had sparked whispers—friendly flirtations mistaken for something deeper. But neither Molly nor Rick was prepared for the brutal truth they would uncover.

When Rick steps away from Molly to investigate Ava’s sudden disappearance, he ends up outside the VIP suite. There, through frosted glass, he witnesses a kiss between Cody and Ava—unmistakable, passionate, and devastating. As his world begins to spin, Molly appears behind him, carrying a drink and confusion in her eyes. Following her father’s gaze, she sees the betrayal too. In one instant, both their hearts shatter.

Molly, who had imagined a future with Cody, feels a cold shock of humiliation. Rick, already struggling to trust again, is blindsided by the cruel reality that Ava and Cody have crossed a line he thought sacred. The emotional fallout spreads quickly.

By morning, the whispers have become headlines: “Scandal at Metro Court!” “Love Triangle Erupts in Public Showdown!” Paparazzi snapshots of Molly’s tear-streaked face and Rick’s stormy expression are plastered across every screen. But while the press devours the drama, the real devastation plays out behind closed doors.

Rick, wounded and furious, retreats to his office where he stares at documents Ava once begged him to keep hidden—evidence of misdeeds and manipulations. With this ammunition, he now holds the power to destroy her. He could expose everything. But should he?

Molly, meanwhile, confronts Cody, her voice cracking with emotion as she demands the truth. Cody hesitates, the weight of guilt pressing against his chest. He finally confesses—sort of. He reveals that Christina was the architect of this entire plot and that he was merely executing her plan. He tries to justify his actions, citing desperation and debt. But his explanation only deepens Molly’s pain. The man she trusted turned out to be just another liar.

Heartbroken but determined, Molly begins her own investigation. Late-night visits to Cody’s apartment. Quiet messages to Christina’s inner circle. A mission to piece together how she became collateral damage in someone else’s war. Her world is fractured, but she refuses to become a pawn again.

As Molly digs deeper, she uncovers more than she expected. Christina’s hatred for Ava runs deeper than a petty grudge—it’s rooted in old betrayals, hidden truths, and a buried scandal involving their families. Christina’s vengeance is personal. So personal, in fact, that when she and her father overheard something they shouldn’t have—something implicating Ava—they decided they could no longer sit by and watch Ava flourish unchecked.

Now, father and daughter are united in their mission to bring Ava down. But the further they go, the more dangerous the game becomes. Secrets are weapons in Port Charles, and every revelation has a price.

Cody, meanwhile, wakes up in Ava’s bed the morning after, plagued by guilt. Her peaceful sleeping form beside him serves as a haunting reminder of what he’s done. He thought the money would solve his problems, but now, all he feels is shame.

Ava, for her part, begins to sense that something isn’t right. She may have been vulnerable for one night, but she hasn’t survived this long without developing sharp instincts. As she pieces together the strange coincidences and half-truths around Cody, doubt begins to creep in.

Back at Lancing & Associates, Rick stares at the folder of Ava’s secrets. He could end her career, reputation, and everything she’s built. But as he watches Molly spiral, he begins to question his next move. Is it revenge he wants—or justice? And can he protect his daughter without becoming just as ruthless as those who wronged them?

The fallout has only just begun.

Coming up on General Hospital:

• Rick Lancing faces a moral crossroads: expose Ava and ruin her or walk away before he loses himself in revenge.

• Molly searches for the truth behind Cody’s betrayal—and stumbles upon a secret that could unravel everything Christina is hiding.

• Ava must decide whether to confront Cody with her suspicions or protect her heart from further pain.

• And Cody must live with the consequences of his choices, knowing that every lie he told now carries the weight of real heartbreak.

In a town where trust is fragile and vengeance is always waiting in the wings, the collision of love, secrets, and revenge leaves no one untouched. The father and daughter who once only wanted justice may now risk everything to get it—even if it means dragging the entire city down with them.
