The February 19, 2025, episode of General Hospital brought an intense
and chilling confrontation between Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) and Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst),
as Cyrus revealed his shocking motives and prepared to strike again.
Meanwhile, Lucky Spencer (temporarily played by Guy Wilson) made a heroic entrance, but his bravery may have come at a devastating cost.
Cyrus Corners Elizabeth With a Terrifying Confession
The tension escalated as Cyrus arrived at Elizabeth’s home, claiming he had an urgent matter to discuss.
Sensing danger, Elizabeth tried to shut the door on him, but Cyrus forced his way in, insisting that she needed to hear him out. As he stepped into her living room, Elizabeth’s fear was evident, but Cyrus feigned surprise at her reaction, pretending he expected her to be excited to see him.
“You’ve been asking about me, haven’t you?” Cyrus said with a knowing smile. “I thought I’d save you the trouble and let you ask me anything you want—face to face.”
Realizing she had no other option, Elizabeth admitted to looking into him, particularly at Turning Woods. Cyrus’s demeanor quickly darkened as he questioned what she had learned. She initially tried to get him to leave, but when that failed, she boldly confronted him with a direct question:
“Why did you try to kill Lulu?”
Rather than deflect, Cyrus openly admitted to his actions. He reasoned that his niece, Lulu Falconeri (Alexa Havins), had been in a coma for years with no sign of recovery, and he believed he was relieving her from suffering. When Elizabeth pointed out that Lulu’s mother, Laura Collins (Genie Francis), and son, Rocco, had never given up hope, Cyrus scoffed at the idea.
“What was poor Lulu enduring while they were hoping?” he snapped.
Cyrus’s Twisted Justification for His Crimes
Cyrus then took the conversation to a disturbing level, presenting his belief that his actions were not murder, but mercy. He explained that as a nurse, Elizabeth focused on the physical aspects of suffering, while he, as a man of faith, saw the spiritual side.
“You’ve seen people trapped in beds, hooked up to machines,” he reasoned. “But just because someone can be kept alive doesn’t mean they should be.”
Elizabeth countered that such decisions should be left to the patient or their family, but Cyrus argued that some people were incapable of making that choice for themselves. He claimed that while volunteering at Turning Woods, he saw people imprisoned in their own personal hells, and he believed God had chosen him to set them free.
Tears streamed down his face as he described his so-called “mission,” insisting that he was only helping people return to the light of God. He even admitted that he first attempted to end Lulu’s suffering by giving her unnecessary medication, leading to her liver failure.
“If only the Lord had taken my sweet niece then,” he sighed.
When Elizabeth pressed him about Sam McCall (ex-Kelly Monaco), Cyrus coldly explained that Sam had gotten in the way by trying to save Lulu. In his mind, eliminating Sam was simply a consequence of “obstructing the Lord’s will.” Furthermore, he admitted that killing Sam led him to discover digitalis as an effective, painless method of freeing trapped souls.
Elizabeth was horrified as she pieced together his pattern—each murder justified as part of his divine mission. When she asked about Dex Heller (Evan Hofer), Cyrus admitted that Dex had simply been too close to discovering the truth.
“So, you eliminated a witness,” Elizabeth noted. “That doesn’t sound like the will of God. That sounds like something the old Cyrus would do.”
A Deadly Move—Lucky Takes the Fall
Cyrus’s emotions overwhelmed him as he realized Elizabeth understood his reasoning. But her calm approach backfired when Cyrus took it as confirmation that nothing could jeopardize his mission. Without hesitation, he pulled out a syringe of digitalis and grabbed Elizabeth’s arm, preparing to inject her.
Before he could follow through, Lucky Spencer burst into the room, demanding that Cyrus back off. The sudden interruption gave Elizabeth the chance to escape, and she ran to call 911.
Meanwhile, a struggle broke out between Cyrus and Lucky. In the chaos, the syringe ended up in Lucky’s thigh. As Elizabeth turned back, her face went pale with horror—Lucky had been injected with digitalis.
Elsewhere in Port Charles…
Carly and Brennan’s Romantic Evening Takes a Turn
Across town, Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) and Brennan (Charles Mesure) were enjoying a romantic evening, sipping on vintage champagne. Carly recognized it as the same champagne they had shared in Germany, which led to a passionate kiss.
However, their moment was interrupted when Carly’s daughter, Donna, woke up from a bad dream. Brennan took the opportunity to explain dreams to Donna, impressing her with his knowledge of psychology. But the night took another unexpected turn when Brennan received a mysterious text that visibly upset him. He quickly excused himself, leaving Carly wondering what had happened.
Joss Disappoints Emma—Then Heads Straight for Cyrus
At Bobbie’s, Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) was trying to get someone to cover her shift when Emma Scorpio-Drake (Brooklyn Rae Silzer) approached her about an upcoming animal rights benefit. Joss declined, claiming she was too busy, which visibly disappointed Emma. However, as soon as she found a replacement for her shift, Josslyn took off—heading straight for Cyrus’s hideout.
Dante and Chase Open Up About Brook Lynn
Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) and Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) met up at Bobbie’s after an emergency at Deception forced their partners, Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) and Lulu, to work. During their chat, Chase made a surprising confession—he and Brook Lynn had been struggling with fertility issues.
“I can’t give Brook Lynn the family we want to have,” Chase admitted.
Tensions Flare at The Savoy
At The Savoy, Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) and Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr) were stunned when Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) and Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) arrived together. Curtis was especially enraged, given his ongoing feud with Drew over the Port Charles Esplanade project.
“This is a show of disrespect,” Curtis fumed, eventually asking Drew to leave. Willow, however, was allowed to stay.
As the night went on, Brad Cooper (Parry Shen) and Lucas Jones (Ryan Carnes) couldn’t help but gossip about Willow and Drew’s date, with Brad calling it “wrong on so many levels.” Meanwhile, Willow received a shock of her own when Drew took her to a new house—one that he had just bought. His next request stunned her even more.
“Move in with me,” Drew said.
What Happens Next?
With Lucky’s life hanging in the balance and Cyrus becoming more dangerous, General Hospital is on the brink of even more explosive developments. Will Lucky survive? And will Cyrus finally be stopped before he can claim another victim?
