In the May 14 episode of General Hospital, Carly and Nina went at it at the hospital, where Nina had been holding court, waiting for Jack to wake up. Carly used the valuable information she had to gain insight into the Jack situation, but walked away with so much more.
Key Takeaways
- Carly goaded Nina, and it worked.
- Nina’s behavior helped Carly connect the dots about Drew and Willow.
- They struck a deal that will never be kept.
Carly Got a Clue
Ever since she stabbed Jack (Chris McKenna), Nina (Cynthia Watros) has been losing her mind. Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) tried to knock some sense into her, but based on Nina’s chat with Carly, it didn’t work.
Carly showed up at the hospital looking for answers and information, both of which she got. Nina squirmed as Carly questioned her about what went down at Drew’s (Cameron Mathison) house with Jack.
Watching Nina carefully, Carly alluded that since both Jack and Drew had a stroke at Drew’s house, something could be wrong in the house. Carly pushed to have the two men’s blood tested, and when Nina became twitchy and changed the subject, a lightbulb went off.
Nina Gave Up Information Carly Already Had
Despite not knowing the exact connection between Drew and Jack’s strokes, Carly still used her gut to push a shaky Nina further. To distract Carly from the Jack and Drew situation, Nina revealed that Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) was at Drew’s house.
Little did Nina know that Carly already knew all about Valentin. Nina, though, didn’t stop talking and admitted the two men fought, which might have led to Jack’s stroke.
Carly then suggested that Willow might be working with Valentin, as she insisted there was a connection between Jack, Drew, and Willow. While alarm bells went off for Carly that something was up between them, she kept her cool, even when Nina suddenly remembered Jack and Valentin were fighting about Josslyn’s (Eden McCoy) whereabouts.
Nina and Carly Make a Deal That Won’t Stick
After she brought Josslyn into the mix, Nina hinted she would tell Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) that piece of information. She added that he had already questioned her once about the events at Drew’s house. Carly pretended to back off and find common ground with Nina for their daughters. They agreed to steer clear of the WSB director.
There’s no question that Carly knew exactly what she was doing as she approached Nina. Carly had the full story, unlike Nina, who doesn’t have a clue that Valentin and Carly are working together.
Why it matters is that what Nina did was give Carly enough ammo on the connection between Willow, Drew, and Jack for her to begin digging into the situation, or at the very least, loop Valentin in on it.
Nina may think she has the upper hand, but really, she not only played into Carly’s hand but also gave her new intel. Plus, she promised not to talk to Cullum, which keeps Josslyn being a WSB agent a secret for at least a little longer.
They made a deal, but let’s be honest: when push comes to shove, both Nina and Carly will break it to save their daughters, as they should. That means at any moment, secrets and lies will be exposed, and we can’t wait!
