General Hospital (GH) spoilers recap for Wednesday, December 4, reveals that Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst)

made a confession to Ava Jerome (Maura West) as they sat at the bar in the Port Charles Grill.

Although Ric acted optimistic before the trial, that was mainly so Ava would look confident in the

courtroom.

In reality, Ric wasn’t as certain of the outcome and feared the jury could go after him for berating a grieving mother on the stand.

However, Ric did think Alexis Davis’ (Nancy Lee Grahn) courtroom outburst had given them grounds for an appeal or mistrial if Ava got convicted.

At Alexis’ place, Molly Lansing-Davis (Kristen Vaganos) made a prediction to her mom about Ric’s strong defense getting Ava off the hook.

There was no way that jury was convicting Ava according to Molly, who admitted Ric even convinced her this was a tragic accident.

Molly also offered updates on things falling apart with TJ Ashford (Tajh Bellow) and suggested it was best to let him go.

As for the topic of having kids, Molly explained that she was no longer planning to be a mom.

In Curtis Ashford’s (Donnell Turner) office, he filled Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper) in on all the latest developments about Drew Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison) and Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell).

Jordan suggested Curtis needed to play this messy Quartermaine game from both sides.

When TJ showed up looking for a place to stay tonight, he admitted he was taking a break in his relationship with Molly.

However, TJ ultimately felt it was the beginning of a separation and shared all the reasons he wasn’t on the same page with Molly anymore.

Both Curtis and Jordan gave TJ some support as they assured him that he wasn’t alone.

At the Quartermaine stables, Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) brought some beers and gave Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) the news that Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening) was awake.

Cody heard about Lulu hitchhiking and realized she was the woman he picked up earlier, so he told Dante.

Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) eventually barged in with complaints since Cody wasn’t answering Tracy Quartermaine’s (Jane Elliot) calls.

That meant Tracy was pestering Brook Lynn about her horse emergency when BLQ was supposed to be enjoying private time with Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard).

Brook Lynn threatened to rat Cody out for sitting around having beers with Dante, so there was some talk about when she ratted them out for stealing camp canoes once upon a time.

Once Brook Lynn found out Lulu was awake, she was pleased yet seemed a little uneasy over the revelation.

Cody thought Brook Lynn would be happier, so he brought that up to Dante once they were alone.

Dante explained how Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) paid Brook Lynn to interfere in his relationship with Lulu years ago.

That led to a mention of Dante and Brook Lynn having a fling during their younger camp days.

At Anna Devane’s (Finola Hughes), she was frantic over this whole situation with Charlotte Cassadine (Scarlett Fernandez) now that Lulu had awakened.

Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) came over and did his best to alleviate Anna’s guilt before admitting he had an idea.

After Jason said he was going to give Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) an incentive to bring Charlotte back, he headed out the door.

Meanwhile, Laura Collins (Genie Francis) embraced Lulu and held her on the sofa at home.

After they discussed Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) and Luke Spencer (Anthony Geary), Lulu mentioned her reunion with Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) and how much he’d grown.

Lulu wanted Laura to call Valentin so she could talk to Charlotte, so Laura suddenly got uncomfortable.

Kevin Collins (Jon Lindstrom) interrupted, so he had a happy reunion with Lulu before mentioned Ace Cassadine (Jay and Joey Clay) was with the nanny.

Lulu had questions about who Ace was, so Laura explained that he was Nikolas’ son and that they’d taken him in since Nik was in prison.

After Lulu asked about Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Alexander Chavez), Laura filled her in on his presumed demise.

The conversation shifted back to Charlotte, so Laura finally came clean about her being on the run with Valentin since he’d gotten in some trouble.

Lulu wanted to go out searching for Charlotte, but Laura offered reassurance about finding her and pushed Lulu to just get checked out at GH for now.

General Hospital spoilers say Lulu will continue to face all the shockers of what she’s missed, to stay tuned.
