Vaughn & Joss Jacks Are Busted
In Dalton’s office, Emma enters to find Vaughn (Bryce Durfee) kissing Joss, and they pretend to be involved. They request her to keep it a secret, and she hesitantly agrees; Vaughn returns to his ‘work,’ and Emma warns that her silence will cost Joss.
Emma expresses her frustration about deserving the position, while Joss accuses her of being petty; Emma refers to it as karma.
She demands that Joss leave her alone in Dalton’s office, or she will inform Dalton about their relationship. Later, Vaughn is swimming in the pool, and when he surfaces, Joss approaches him and kisses him.
He tells him that he initiated it, and now they must pretend to be a couple.
Lulu Spencer Is Surprised
At the Metro Court pool, Lulu expresses her sincere apologies to Gio Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza) for revealing his parents’ secret at the ball; he believes she has nothing to apologize for.
She confesses that she was searching for Charlotte Cassadine (Scarlett Fernandez) and accidentally discovered that Brook Lynn Quartermaine Chase (Amanda Setton) had given up a child of hers and Dante Falconeri’s (Dominic Zamprogna).
She realized he would want to know about his son. Gio senses that she is about to suggest he listen to Dante, but he only cares about Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr).
She is pleasantly surprised he cares about his younger half-brother.
Gio Palmieri Has More Questions
General Hospital recaps for June 17 note that Gio wonders why Lulu didn’t inform Dante immediately; she recognizes that she should have -she understands that BLQ was unaware of him and hadn’t even met him.
This frustrates Gio, but he realizes it’s the usual procedure, so the mother doesn’t form any attachments. He’s still hurt and holds Brook Lynn responsible for not being interested in him.
Lulu stands up for Brook Lynn, but Gio believes she should have been aware of their connection. Lulu argues that it doesn’t always happen that way.
She found out the truth only because of how passionately Lois Cerullo (Rena Sofer) defended him to Dante. Gio wonders if Lulu thinks they truly cared about him.
Lulu acknowledges that they meant well, but they went too far-she reveals more details, and he is shocked to learn that his birthday is May 15th.
Joss Tells Vaughn About Blackmail
In the meantime, back at the pool with Joss and Vaughn, she shares the news of Emma’s blackmail, and Vaughn confesses that Emma has been showing interest in Dalton.
Joss sighs, realizing that Emma is unaware of the trouble she’s stepping into, by being flirtatious with the professor, and Joss devises a plan to keep Emma distanced from Dalton.
She tells Vaughn that he should become a member of Emma’s animal rights organization and then steer her away from Dalton to keep her distracted with the animals.
Vaughn is impressed by how well she’s grasping the situation and learning the spy game.
Brook Lynn Quartermaine-Chase Has A Job For Marco Rios
In the office of Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) and Diane Miller (Carolyn Hennesy), Brook Lynn reveals that Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) had taken an embryo from Dante and Lulu, many years ago.
Then she implanted it, became pregnant, and subsequently gave birth to a baby boy. Marco Rios (Adrian Anchondo) is taken aback; she expresses her desire to locate Rocco’s original birth certificate to check if Britt’s name appears on it.
He notes this down and inquires about her reasons for wanting it; since she is paying him, she will determine how to use the information.

Drew reminds them both that he is in charge, not them and pulls them into Portia’s office and accuses them of hiring Jacinda (Paige Herschell) to drug him. Portia tries to challenge him, but he claims he can prove it.
Drew threatens them, stating he will give them one last chance-if either of them messes up, Portia will lose her job and Nina’s relationship with Willow will be over.
Nina concedes and is instructed to be by his side when her daughter goes home-he tells Portia to ensure Curtis writes an article about the unfairness of the Corinthos custody hearing.

Back at GH, a nurse enters with Daisy, and the women immediately swoon; but when Sasha gazes at her baby’s face, she realizes that the child isn’t hers.
“This isn’t Daisy! Where’s my baby, what did you do with her?” she panics, asking frantically. Michael steps into Sasha’s room only to discover that Daisy is missing and Sasha’s panicking and tries to comfort her.
Moments later, Lucas brings her back; it turns out the nurse had simply handed over the wrong baby at first, having put her in the wrong bassinette.
