The kids of Port Charles are following in their iconic parents’ and grandparents’ footsteps this week on General Hospital as they take on the mission to break into Professor Dalton’s lab. But not everyone made it out safely during the November 12, 2025 episode.

Key Takeaways

• Gio and Emma had to scrap their plan to break into Dalton’s lab after Ned’s heart attack.
• Charlotte, Danny, and Rocco took on the mission instead.
• No animals were found in the lab, but Rocco got caught by Dalton.
• Dalton showed up to Laura and Ezra’s debate with Rocco, revealing the teen had broken into his lab.

Kids on a Mission

After Ned’s (Wally Kurth) heart attack put an understandable wrench in Emma (Braedyn Bruner) and Gio’s (Giovanni Mazza) plan to break into Dalton’s (Daniel Goddard) lab during the mayoral debate at PCU, Charlotte (Bluesy Burke), Danny (Asher Antonyzyn), and Rocco (Finn Carr) took it upon themselves to complete the mission (no post-WSB Dante pun intended).

While Gio and Emma sat vigil at GH as Ned underwent bypass surgery, the other three made it to the lab. After the two boys were comically unsuccessful at getting the key fob to work, Charlotte got the lab open in one swipe. However, they were shocked to find not a single animal in the lab.

They continued snooping around until they heard the door opening and Danny and Charlotte managed to hide behind a glass case while Rocco only had time to hide behind a table. But as soon as Dalton headed toward where Danny and Charlotte were hiding, Rocco sacrificed himself by slamming a drawer and drawing Dalton’s attention.

Charlotte stopped Danny from coming to Rocco’s rescue as Rocco revealed his plan to oust Dalton’s animal testing and Dalton grabbed Rocco by the collar and assured him he’d have him arrested.

Rocco’s Fate

Just before the debate between Laura (Genie Francis) and Ezra (Daniel Cosgrove) could begin, Dalton dragged Rocco in and announced that he had broken into his lab. Laura became a combination of shock and anger toward her grandson, while her mayoral competition simply smirked at the turn of events.

General Hospital spoilers for November 13 reveal that Laura makes a sacrifice that may cost her entire mayoral run. Odds are, she’ll have to come to Rocco’s rescue instead of debating Ezra, and time will only tell how his police commissioner dad handles the news.
