General Hospital<\/em>\u00a0is setting the stage for Portia to take a dip in hot water as the newly minted\u00a0prime suspect in Drew\u2019s shooting. But as much as she hates Congressman Cutthroat, we don\u2019t buy that she would\u2019ve done it \u2014 not even to get out from under his blackmail threat. (If she was willing to go\u00a0<\/p>\n But if Portia didn\u2019t pull the trigger, who did? Heaven knows there\u2019s no shortage of Port Charles denizens who had motive. The question is, which of them would actually be so blinded by rage that they\u2019d take aim and fire?<\/p>\n Our hunch: Even though Willow is now out of prison on bail, she\u2019s actually the guilty party. Remember, when Drew was gunned down, she was mentally a hot mess. She\u2019d even stalked baby Daisy to give ex-husband Michael a scare. To put it mildly, Willow was not well.<\/p>\n So we suspect that Drew\u2019s sometime fianc\u00e9e actually stole into his house and shot him as payback for keeping from her his affair with her mother, for mucking up her chances of getting her kids back, for generally being a dark cloud over her life. And then? Then she blocked out the fact that she did it. So when she protests that she\u2019s innocent, she means it \u2014 insofar as she can remember.<\/p>\n As the investigation goes on, maybe\u00a0General Hospital<\/em>\u00a0can pull Jon Lindstrom away from\u00a0Beyond the Gates<\/em>, where\u00a0he\u2019s killing it as bad guy Joey, so that Kevin can hypnotize Willow and bring to light what really happened that fateful night. Who do you think took aim at Drew? Answer in the poll below.<\/p>\n Is it just us, or is\u00a0<\/p>\n 9-1-1\u00a0<\/em>starting to feel like a\u00a0Final Destination<\/em>\u00a0movie?<\/p>\n That’s not a bad thing, but the season 9 midseason finale has two sequences that play out like scenes from the horror franchise \u2014 one involving an ill-fated game of tug-of-war (wear gloves!) and a CT scanner (evoking the MRI machine seen in\u00a0<\/p>\n Final Destination: Bloodlines<\/em>).<\/p>\n The episode, titled “Family History,” also includes a longtime supporting character’s first step into the firehouse and the reveal of a new captain for Station 118.<\/p>\n Below, we break down the\u00a09-1-1<\/em>\u00a0midseason finale \u2014 and how it sets up the back of the season 9.<\/p>\n Disney\/Christopher Willard<\/p>\n He does, but not without a bit of soul-searching (and a lot of pushups).<\/p>\n Harry (Elijah M. Cooper) shows up on the doorstep of Buck (Oliver Stark), revealing that he dropped out of high school and applied to the Los Angeles Fire Department. He wants to keep this decision between them, as he’s (understandably) worried about his mom’s reaction after Bobby’s death in the line of duty.<\/p>\n From there, Buck puts Harry through a grueling training regimen: cardio, weights, and boxing, along with work using sledgehammers, ladders, and hoses. (He even has him kneading dough to build grip strength.) By the end, Buck believes Harry is ready.<\/p>\n And he is. Harry aces the physical test. The only roadblock? His criminal record. In season 7, Harry was arrested after getting into a fight with a bodega owner. Now, it’s coming back to haunt him. He says the powers that be want to speak with his mother, which he’s firmly against.<\/p>\n “I needed to go to her with a win,” Harry says, “not another problem she needs to fix.” He drops out.<\/p>\n But Buck isn’t having it. \u201cGiving it up is not gonna hurt any less than having them take it away,\u201d he tells Harry. He takes him to a fancy restaurant where Fire Chief Simpson (Richard Brooks) is having dinner. When Simpson leaves, Buck and Harry intercept him.<\/p>\n Harry admits to Simpson that he was wrong for dropping out \u2014 and that he would never dishonor the uniform if given the chance to wear it. The chief is swayed and tells Harry to show up at the training center on Monday morning.<\/p>\n For all his worrying, Athena (Angela Bassett) accepts Harry’s decision. As they stare at Bobby’s memorial plaque in the fire station, she tells her son she’s proud of him.<\/p>\n Disney\/Christopher Willard<\/p>\n As for Athena, she has her hands full with a case involving Alicia, an 18-year-old who attempts suicide via overdose after receiving more than 4,000 bullying texts from an unknown number. Alicia’s mother believes the “mean girls” she used to be friends with are responsible, as the messages contain enough personal details that the perpetrator must be someone she knows.<\/p>\n When Athena speaks with the girls, however, they claim it was Alicia who turned away from their friend group. Something isn’t adding up.<\/p>\n The case has a personal resonance for Athena, as her own daughter, May (Corinne Massiah), attempted suicide in a similar manner back in season 1. This leads her to meet up with May. Athena apologizes, saying, “I\u2019m so sorry I let that happen to you, babe.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n But May says what gave her hope was seeing Athena’s face when she woke up. “The one person I needed most in this world was with me,” she says.<\/p>\n This triggers something in Athena, who begins to suspect that Alicia’s mother is behind the texts. When she goes to her house and asks if they can run tests on her phone, the mother locks herself in the bathroom and takes a handful of pills herself.<\/p>\n “You’re not getting off that easy,” Athena insists.<\/p>\n Later, she brings Alicia to visit her mother in the hospital, warning her that “whatever she tells you is likely a lie.” Alicia’s mom explains that she sent the texts to show her daughter “how scary the world can be,” but Alicia says that the only thing she’s scared of is her mother. Alicia tells her she’s starting her life over and reunites with her friends.<\/p>\n (If this whole plot reminds you of Netflix’s\u00a0Unknown Number: The High School Catfish<\/em>, you’re not alone.)<\/p>\n Disney\/Christopher Willard<\/p>\n “Family History” begins with Chim (Kenneth Choi) looking at a list of candidates to take over as the 118’s captain. He’s impressed by their credentials, but all he can see are “three strangers that don\u2019t compare to Bobby.” He’s been serving as interim captain this season, and his wife Maddie (Jennifer Love Hewitt) thinks he should officially take it on. He turned it down when Simpson offered him the job, but now he’s reconsidering.<\/p>\n Still, he’s hesitant. Speaking of the team, Chim says, “What if they resent me for taking Bobby’s place?” Maddie tells him he’s earned his own place \u2014 and that the 118 feels the same.<\/p>\n Later, after Buck and Harry chat with Simpson, we realize that Simpson had been dining with Chim. He took the job.<\/p>\n As the episode comes to a close, we see Chim being sworn in at a ceremony. Afterwards, the team gifts him a watch.<\/p>\n “The 118, it’s not just a number, it’s us,” reads an inscription on its back. Tears in his eyes, Chim promises not to let them down.<\/p>\n Disney\/Christopher Willard<\/p>\n The midseason finale ends on an ominous note, with Hen (Aisha Hinds) climbing into a CT scanner after several health scares.<\/p>\n The worst incident occurred earlier in the episode, when she became dizzy and passed out alone. She lies unconscious for hours, only to be awoken by a phone call from Karen (Tracie Thoms). But Hen doesn’t tell her the truth, keeping her symptoms to herself.<\/p>\n Later, Hen speaks with Maddie, who used to be a nurse, about this “medical mystery,” pretending she saw the symptoms in someone she encountered on the job. All evidence points to Lyme disease, but she doesn’t know for sure.<\/p>\n This leads Hen back to Luna, a health spa where the team was called when a woman died following an allergic reaction inside a CT scanner. She clashed with the spa’s doctor, who was too distracted by a sales call to notice his patient’s distress.<\/p>\n “You\u2019re not a doctor, you\u2019re a salesman,” she says. “You scan people and credit cards.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n But it’s the very same doctor she returns to, and the episode ends as the scan begins. What’s afflicting her? We’ll find out when\u00a0<\/p>\n 9-1-1\u00a0<\/em>season 9 returns in 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Credit: ABC (2), ABC screenshot (2) General Hospital\u00a0is setting the stage for Portia to take a dip in hot water as the newly minted\u00a0prime suspect in Drew\u2019s shooting.
