General Hospital (GH) spoilers recap for Wednesday, March 18, reveal that Jordan Ashford (Briana Nicole Henry) brushed off Lorraine “Harmony” Miller (Inga Cadranel), who just arrived at her office door, and left. Jordan headed off to an alleyway where she found TJ Ashford’s (Tajh Bellow) phone. Harmony appeared, saying that they moved TJ hours ago.
Harmony proceeded to tell Jordan that TJ was safe for now, but that she had news about what they wanted in exchange for his life. Jordan pointed her weapon at Harmony, saying that she could take her to TJ, or that they could team up to fight Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober), but Harmony said that she loved Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) too much to take that risk.
Harmony then told Jordan that there was a shipment arriving tonight and that she needed to divert the authorities from the area so the shipment could go through. Harmony said to do what Cyrus asks for both of their sakes, and that it was the only way Jordan would see TJ again.
Meanwhile, at the bar at the Metro Court, Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) sat enjoying an iced tea while she was supposed to be working at ELQ. Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) and Lulu Spencer (Emme Rylan) came along and noticed her shopping bags. Lulu and Brook Lynn bickered, then Ned Quartermaine (Wally Kurth) called to yell at Brook Lynn about not being at work.
Maxie and Lulu settled into a table, and Maxie wanted advice about whether she should talk with Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) about her problems at work. Lulu encouraged her to go have that talk with Nina right now. Maxie left, and Lulu decided to go check Facebook to see what Brook Lynn was up to, since she clearly wasn’t working.
Brook Lynn showed up at ELQ and got an earful from Ned about leaving her desk unmanned. Ned gave her some confidential merger documents to scan, seal, and deliver to a specific address. He stressed that the documents were for Brook Lynn’s eyes only. Brook Lynn promised to handle it, then proceeded to do a video for her fans, including a personal tour of her desk. Brook Lynn panned the camera right over the documents.
Later, Ned yelled at Brook Lynn from his office, demanding to know whether she got those documents sent off. She lied and said she handled it, then frantically put the documents in an envelope and prepared to send them off.
Next, at Crimson, Nina looked at her half-heart necklace while Jasper “Jax” Jacks (Ingo Rademacher) entered. They chatted about Liesl Obrecht’s (Kathleen Gati) arrest, then about Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy). Jax took off and Maxie arrived. Nina promptly ordered Maxie to fetch her an article, and Maxie refused, saying that it’s not her job.
Maxie proceeded to tell Nina that she was doing way more for Crimson than she should, and Nina got it. She said that she wouldn’t take Maxie for granted anymore, and that they would reexamine things and give her a new role, title and salary that’s commensurate with what se contributes. Maxie was thrilled.
At the Corinthos estate, Cameron Webber (William Lipton) and Trina Robinson (Sydney Mikayla) broke up their kiss in a hurry when Josslyn came outside to the porch. Josslyn didn’t spy the kiss, but she sensed that something had happened. Later, Cameron and Trina had trouble concentrating on their studies, and Trina finally left, saying she needed to be alone.
Jax arrived, and Cameron left soon thereafter. Josslyn and Jax talked about the possibility of moving to Australia, but Josslyn told her dad that her home was here, and she didn’t want to leave for a lot of reasons.
Back at the Metro Court, Portia Robinson (Brooke Kerr) told Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) that Trina was not his daughter. Curtis was relieved but said that Trina was a wonderful young woman. They talked about their history a bit, and as it turns out, they had a relationship, but Curtis ended it when he found out that Portia was married.
Portia said that she was thinking of transferring her practice from Mercy to GH, when Trina walked in and blasted her mom for talking with “the guy who didn’t save dad.” Curtis took off, and Portia calmed Trina down, telling her that she’s alive because of Curtis. She urged her daughter to reconsider the way she was treating Curtis.
Next, at the Quartermaine mansion, Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson) told Willow that she needed to marry Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell). Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) exploded and nearly melted down. Sasha explained all the good reasons why Michael and Willow should marry, but both Chase and Michael disagreed. Michael said that he didn’t want to fight Nelle Benson Archer (Chloe Lanier) with a big lie.
Willow and Michael went to see Wiley Quartermaine Corinthos (Erik and Theo Olson) upstairs, while Chase blasted Sasha for her big idea. Chase lamented that Willow loved him, not Michael, but Sasha pointed out that Willow loved Wiley, too.
Back at Crimson, Jax returned and got updates from Nina about her conversation with Maxie earlier. She said that Maxie has done the heavy lifting around here with zero credit, and that she wanted to give Maxie a raise, promotion, and a new title. Jax looked at Nina’s proposal and promptly said no.
Meanwhile, back at the Metro Court, Maxie rejoined Lulu and said that she was going to finally get the recognition at Crimson that she deserved. Lulu then got an update on her phone, then looked and said, “Oh my God, you are never going to believe what Brook Lynn just posted to Facebook.”
Finally, at Jordan’s office, Curtis arrived and noticed that Jordan seemed pretty amped up about something. He reassured her about the mob war, then said that he wanted to tell her about his past with Portia. He explained that they were involved 17 years ago, and that he ended things when he found out that Portia was married. Jordan was relieved to find out the Trina isn’t Curtis’ daughter.
Later, once alone, Jordan called Mac Scorpio (John J. York) and told him to pull teams from a certain area and move them farther west. She then sat down and looked sadly at the photo of TJ being held hostage.
