General Hospital Weekly Recap August 10–14

Willow’s custody battle with Michael escalated after Jacinda admitted that she had drugged Willow with molly. Michael found Willow with Wylie and Amelia and stopped her from driving with the children. Willow later learned what had happened and immediately suspected Michael had arranged it to use against her.

Michael ended his relationship with Jacinda and asked her to leave town, knowing Willow could use the incident against him. Willow then threatened to take Michael to court for full custody. Trina and Kai changed the situation when they told Michael they had witnessed Willow shoot Drew. They were prepared to go public with what they knew, but Michael decided to use their affidavits in family court instead.

Michael confronted Willow with the evidence and offered her a custody arrangement rather than taking the children away completely. Willow begrudgingly agreed to move back into the Quartermaine gatehouse, surrender her passport, stop taking the children to Washington, D.C., and allow Michael to supervise her time with them.

Drew Declares War On Sonny As Jason Walks Away

Drew continued his campaign against Sonny while also fighting Jason over Danny and Scout. Jason told Drew that he had quit working for Sonny, but Drew still blamed him for his past actions and warned him to keep Danny away from Scout.

Drew planned to acquire and use Sidwell’s assets when they get auctioned off to marginalize Sonny and said that with Jason no longer protecting Sonny, he could finally take him down.

Meanwhile, Sonny told Ric that he and Jason were both getting out of the business. He asked Ric to replace Jason as his voice of reason and help him deal with the auction of Sidwell’s assets.

Jason also repaired his relationship with Carly. He told her he had quit working for Sonny, apologized for encouraging her to remain in an unsafe situation in the past, and explained his decision to leave Sonny.

Charlotte, Danny, Scout, And Rocco Push Back

Charlotte moved in with Valentin, leaving Rocco upset about the changes in his family. He later talked to Sonny about relying on his parents, and Sonny encouraged him to trust his own judgment.

Scout also struggled with Drew’s restrictions. She told Rocco that she missed being able to see Danny and admitted that life had felt easier when Drew was unable to control where she went.

Danny and Charlotte decided to look for leverage against Drew. Charlotte suggested framing him because they believed it might be the only way Danny could continue seeing Scout.

Curtis Is Sentenced To Ten Years

Just as Isaiah got good news that his hand could heal enough to perform surgery again one day, Curtis’ trial ended with a guilty verdict. The judge sentenced him to ten years in prison, with the possibility of parole in two. Martin asked for his client to have two days with Dez before he reported to prison.

Portia, Stella, and Marshall struggled with the sentence, while Marshall asked Portia to help reunite Curtis and Dez when Curtis was released. Trina blamed herself for pulling away from her parents during the trial, but Kai reminded her that she had done nothing wrong. Jordan later confronted Isaiah, arguing that getting justice had also destroyed Curtis’ life.

Peter Sets A Trap For Britt

Britt asked Anna for help finding out what happened to Cassius’ body, but Anna initially refused. Peter pushed her to change her mind and make Britt feel indebted to her.

Anna eventually told Britt she would try to find information and suggested that they meet privately. Britt was relieved, unaware that Anna intended to use the meeting to eliminate her.

Josslyn Takes Over JJE

Josslyn learned that Jax had put her in charge of JJE while he was away. She wanted to hand off the responsibility to someone else, and asked Jack when she could get back to work for the WSB. Brennan questioned whether she was ready to return to fieldwork and said she needed a mental fitness assessment.

Josslyn began dealing with her dad’s company while Hudson pressured her to make decisions. She refused to rush into choosing who would run JJE and said she would decide when she was ready.

Serena Meets Cody And Valentin Looks Ahead

Serena met her half-brother Cody after Lucy introduced them. Cody admitted to Molly that he had initially been upset that Serena inherited Dominique’s estate, but said he had eventually learned to appreciate what he had.

Valentin asked Jordan about Sidwell’s assets as he considered which ones might be worth pursuing. Jordan mentioned SRE Touch and they discussed working together, with Jordan being Valentin’s consultant in hopes it could help her build a new career.
