In the August 14 episode of General Hospital, Scout was one hot topic as Alexis faced off with Drew over her, and Charlotte helped Danny come up with a plan to see her. Drew keeping Scout isolated from her family has forced her brother and grandmother to play dirty, and it’s about time they did just that.
Key Takeaways
- Alexis got a lifeline from Jack.
- Charlotte channeled her inner Cassadine for Danny.
- Scout desperately misses her family.
Jack Offers Alexis Intel on Drew
Despicable Drew (Cameron Mathison) made it clear he wouldn’t allow Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) access to Scout (Kayden Brenna Tokarski). However, that didn’t stop Alexis from trying to talk to him again.
Alexis failed to get anywhere with him. Drew blasted Alexis for allowing Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) when he was incapacitated and recalled what it was like to see her hurt at the hospital becasue of Danny.
They got nowhere, and Jack (Chris McKenna) overheard the conversation. Jack spoke in code to Drew and reminded him of the evidence he had on him.
When Drew left, Alexis wanted the dirt Jack had on Drew. Jack agreed, but only in exchange for information on Jasper Jacks Enterprises and Jax (Ingo Rademacher).
Danny and Charlotte Plot
At the Quartermaine boathouse, Danny vented to Charlotte (Bluesy Burke) about not being allowed to see his sister. Danny raged that Rocco (Finn Carr) had to cover his shift at the pool and got to spend time with Scout.
Charlotte encouraged Danny to fight dirty when it came to dealing with Drew because Scout was being hurt by being isolated from her family. Danny agreed. They realized there had to be dirt on Drew and wondered how they could find it.
The comment kicked in Charlotte’s Cassadine side. Charlotte declared that if they couldn’t find something, then they should make something up. Danny worried that going that far would hurt Scout, but he wasn’t opposed to the idea.
Scout’s Needs Her Family
There’s no question that Alexis and Danny are desperate to get time with Scout. Danny and Alexis are clearly ready to do anything to change Drew’s mind, even blackmail.
While it’s a good thing they aren’t backing down, they had better hurry up with their plans. Scout already told Rocco that life was easier for her when Drew was in a wheelchair. Every single time Scout is on-screen, she is beyond sad and struggling.
Scout also admitted to Rocco that she missed being part of her mom, Sam’s (Kelly Monaco), side of the family. The teen is being put in an awful position because Drew has put his hatred ahead of her feelings.
Rocco convinced Scout to let Drew think she was following the rules, but then she do what she wanted. It’s not great advice and will likely only lead to trouble for Scout.
The fact is, the more Drew keeps her isolated,d the more Scout will be hurt. Unfortunately, Drew won’t see her hurt until something drastic happens to Scout, and then it could be too late.
