| Story | Who | Where it stood Tuesday |
|---|---|---|

| Jude Jacks | Ric, Sonny, Brook Lynn, Josslyn | Ric's bug says Jude is in town; Brook Lynn goes after a DNA sample |

| Heather's return | Heather, Anna, Trina, Portia | Trina tells Portia; Anna meets Heather at Bobbie's |
Bottom line: Carly spent Tuesday at the police station answering for a bracelet. Joe put a photo of it in front of her, and by the end of the hour he said he had a picture of her wearing it. Away from the station, Brook Lynn tried to get Josslyn's water bottle for a DNA test, and Trina told Portia that Heather Webber is back.
Monday ended with Carly and Valentin under arrest, and that recap has the preserve scene. The explainer on Jack Brennan helps if you lost track of him.
What did the police show Carly about the bracelet?
Joe Fitzpatrick showed Carly a photo of the bracelet found on Brennan. She said she didn't recognize it and that it wasn't hers. Per Soap Opera News, she did remember giving Charlotte an identical one.
Per Celeb Dirty Laundry, it had been a gift from Jack that she passed along to Charlotte. Both recaps agree on the next step: Joe, Dante and Molly came back and told her they had photo evidence of her wearing the same bracelet.
Does Jason think Carly killed Brennan?
No. Jason told Dante that Carly didn't do it. When Dante asked for proof, Jason admitted he doesn't have it yet.
Per Celeb Dirty Laundry, Jason and Carly also agreed to keep Charlotte and Danny out of it. Per Soap Opera News, Jason told Carly he knows everything, and she said she fears being charged because the circumstantial evidence keeps piling up.
Neither recap we read, checked at 8 p.m. ET Nov. 3, describes a formal charge on Tuesday.
How did Brennan die, according to the preliminary autopsy?
Both recaps say the preliminary autopsy found he drowned. Per Celeb Dirty Laundry, there were no defensive wounds.
Per Soap Opera News, the security cameras were off that night, which led Joe to wonder if Carly turned them off herself. Joe, Dante and Molly leaned that way. That is their theory, not something the episode showed.
Why does Brook Lynn want Josslyn's water bottle?
Brook Lynn wants to test whether Jude is Phoebe's father without telling him. Josslyn saw through it. Per Celeb Dirty Laundry, she handed the bottle over anyway; Soap Opera News's headline says Brook Lynn got a sample, but its recap text stops at Josslyn guessing why she was offered the bottle.
Brook Lynn had asked Josslyn what she knew about Jude. Josslyn said little, only that her father had told her to be careful.
What does Sonny learn about Jude?
Donna overheard that Carly had been arrested and suggested calling Justine. Sonny said no. Ric arrived and said he would help.
Ric then told Sonny what his bug in Hudson's briefcase had picked up: Jude is in Port Charles. Per Soap Opera News, Jude says he's Phoebe's father and wants her back.
What did Alexis ask Ava?
Alexis wanted help reaching Ethan, who would need to submit a new paternity test to answer Jude. Ava said she hasn't heard from him and hinted the result might not be what Alexis expects. Alexis also told Ava the PCPD had found Brennan.
Is Heather Webber back on General Hospital?
Yes. Trina told Portia and Isaiah that Heather is back and seems to be stalking her. Portia was angry and wanted her gone.
At Bobbie's, Anna ran into Heather, who said she now owns Spoon Island and wants to make amends. Per Celeb Dirty Laundry, Anna told her Ace is in Ireland.
FAQ
Was Carly charged on General Hospital on Tuesday, Nov. 3?
Neither recap we read describes a charge. They end with police telling her they have a photo of her in the bracelet.
Did Brook Lynn get Josslyn's DNA on Nov. 3?
It depends on the recap. Celeb Dirty Laundry says Josslyn handed over the bottle, and Soap Opera News's headline says she did, but its recap text only describes the setup.
