General Hospital spoilers reveal that Scout Kane’s world is about to be upended in ways she never imagined. Drew Kane has made a firm decision — one that will take Scout away from Port Charles and transplant her life to Washington, D.C. He frames the move as a fresh start, a father’s responsibility to provide the best for his child. But beneath the polished explanation lies a more tangled truth… one that sends shockwaves through the people who care about her most.

Among those most alarmed is Alexis Davis, who refuses to watch her niece be whisked away without a fight. From the moment Alexis hears the news, a knot of urgency takes root. She knows Drew’s stubbornness — once his mind is set, there’s little hope of changing it. But she also knows the darker side of his temperament. Behind the calm reasoning, there’s a capacity for cold, decisive actions, and Alexis can’t ignore the fear that isolation in a new city might put Scout in a vulnerable position.

Her first instinct is to seek help from Monica Quartermaine, hoping the matriarch might have the influence to slow Drew down. But that plan hits a wall — Monica is unwell and refusing visitors. With her list of allies shrinking, Alexis turns to a name she hesitates over: Jason Morgan.

Jason isn’t the type to wade into custody disputes without solid evidence. Yet his history with Drew, Sam, and Scout is too intertwined to ignore. When Alexis approaches him, her tone is calm but her eyes betray the weight of her fears. She lays out her concerns — the move, Drew’s determination, and her suspicion that Scout may not even be Drew’s biological daughter.

That last revelation shifts everything. Alexis doesn’t pose it as a question. She frames it as a fact waiting to be proven — and if they could establish Jason as Scout’s true father, Drew’s custody claim could crumble. But the direct path isn’t the only one she’s considering. She suggests something far riskier — altering Sam’s will to name Jason as the father. It’s a dangerous, high-stakes move that could destroy them if exposed.

Jason pushes back immediately, pointing out the legal and personal risks. Forgery could ruin lives. But Alexis insists there’s no time for safer plans — each day Scout remains in Drew’s grasp brings them closer to losing her forever. Her resolve is unshakable: “She’s my niece. I’m not letting her disappear without a fight.”

Faced with her determination, Jason reluctantly agrees to help, not because he’s comfortable with the plan, but because he knows Alexis will proceed with or without him. If she’s going to jump into the fire, he’d rather be there to keep it from burning her completely. From that moment, an uneasy alliance forms.

Alexis moves quickly, mapping out every detail. She needs discreet access to Sam’s will, the skill to alter it without leaving a trace, and a believable narrative to back it up. Meanwhile, Jason begins preparing to play the role of Scout’s father — in court, in conversation, and in public perception. Even if the theory is fabricated, he can’t deny that the question Alexis planted — what if Scout really is mine? — gnaws at him.

Accessing the will requires precision, and Alexis finds her opening through a routine legal request. Her hands are steady as she makes the change, inserting Jason’s name into the document. When she presents the altered will to Jason, there’s no celebration — only the shared knowledge that they’ve crossed a line they can never uncross.

But Drew isn’t blind. Whispers of Alexis making inquiries about Sam’s will reach him, and his questions to Scout become sharper. Alexis warns Jason they have to accelerate their timeline. They even stage a public confrontation at the Metro Court, hoping to bait Drew into showing his temper in front of witnesses. He doesn’t explode, but the tension is obvious enough for onlookers to notice.

Privately, Drew’s suspicion hardens. He starts taking Scout on small trips out of Port Charles, acclimating her to being away from home. Alexis sees it for what it is — preparation for the move. Then comes the blow: Drew files a formal custody petition in Washington, D.C., painting Alexis as an overreaching relative and minimizing Jason’s role in Scout’s life.

Alexis counters locally, demanding that paternity be resolved before custody can change. It’s a dangerous gamble, putting their fabricated claim under the legal microscope, but it stalls Drew’s petition and buys them precious time.

In the weeks that follow, both sides dig in. Drew gathers allies and builds his case. Jason embeds himself deeper into Scout’s daily life, attending events and reinforcing their connection. The first major face-off comes in mediation. Drew talks about opportunity and growth in D.C., Alexis stresses stability and family ties. Then Alexis drops the paternity hint, pointing to the original will and conversations Sam supposedly had before her death. The mediator doesn’t rule, but Drew leaves seething — the seed of doubt planted.

Behind the scenes, Alexis strengthens their story with witness statements and personal accounts from people who knew Sam during her pregnancy. She even has Jason take a private paternity test — the results show no biological connection, but those papers will never see a courtroom.

The night before the hearing, Jason approaches Drew directly, offering a compromise — keep Scout in Port Charles, share decision-making, and avoid a fight that will hurt her. Drew’s only reply: “You’ll regret this.”

The courtroom battle is brutal. Drew’s attorneys attack Alexis’s credibility and question her interference. Alexis leans heavily on emotional bonds and disputed paternity. Jason testifies briefly, claiming he believes Scout is his daughter and wants only the best for her.

In the end, the judge sidesteps a final ruling. Scout will remain in Port Charles under Drew’s custody, but Alexis and Jason get significantly expanded visitation. It’s not a clean win, but it’s far from a loss. For Alexis, every day Scout stays is another day the bond between them strengthens — and another day to prepare for the next round.

Outside the courthouse, Alexis and Jason watch Drew walk Scout to the car. The war isn’t over, but neither are they. In Port Charles, battles like this aren’t settled forever — they’re just paused until the next storm. And with secrets this deep and motives this tangled, the storm is already on the horizon.
