General Hospital Recap (GH): Showdown At Pier 55!

The General Hospital recap (GH) features the reveal of Henrik Faison in a chaotic hour on the pier where we were sure someone would die and fall in the river never to be seen for five years, but alas, nobody did.

The Truth Is Out There (THANK YOU!)
Just as Anna (Finola Hughes) was about to tell Peter (Wes Ramsey) the truth, her worst case scenario dreams came true. Jason showed up, held a gun to Peter’s head, and refused to put it down. Anna finally had to tell Peter she was his mother so Jason wouldn’t shoot.

Jason (Steve Burton) still wanted to shoot because he was ticked about those five years in Russia, plus he was convinced Peter would still shoot Anna. Since Peter didn’t want to believe Anna at first, Jason had a good point.

Finally, Peter believed the truth, but called Anna some choice words for giving birth to him and abandoning him. By then, Finn (Michael Easton) showed up, quietly texted Robert, and put a kibosh on the whole mess. Yeah, the man Anna was trying to protect. Good job, Dr. Finn.

Say What? Peter Is Henrik?
At the PCPD, Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) finally admitted what name Henrik Faison had been using. At the same time, Nina (Michelle Stafford) dropped off Charlotte with Lulu (Emme Rylan) and told her that Valentin knew who Henrik was all along.

Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) then arrived home and told Lulu the truth. When Lulu informed Nina, she looked like she might kill someone.

Um, Maxie…
At the hospital, nobody wanted to tell Maxie (Kirsten Storms) that the man who delivered her son was actually her late husband’s possibly-evil brother as she gushed about how wonderful Peter was while she gave birth on the side of the road.

Well, Mom Slept With Morgan…
And, by some miracle, Peter wasn’t the only story. Back at the Metro Court, Griffin (Matt Cohen) took Ava (Maura West) to task for singing a “racy” song rather than a sweet one. He assumed it must have been about Sonny, but nope, she told him it was about him–and that she had seen him with Kiki.

Meanwhile, Kiki (Hayley Erin) told Michael (Chad Duell) all about Dr. Bensch (James DePaiva) and he insisted she report him. After Michael left, Kiki grabbed a bottle of booze and Griffin joined her. Well, that’s one way to get back at your mother for sleeping with Morgan…
