On Today’s General Hospital Episode – Kristina Was Called To The Stand At Willow’s Trial

Kristina Corinthos-Davis (Kate Mansi) testified in Willow Tait’s (Katelyn MacMullen) trial. Acting District Attorney Justine Turner (Nazneen Contractor) asked about their time in Dawn of Day.

Kristina confirmed this and shared that some women were trained in weapons to protect their leader, David Henry “Shiloh” Archer (Coby Ryan McLaughlin). Justine got her to admit that Willow was in that inner circle and had firearm training. (Make sure to check out our weekly GH spoilers, here!)

Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) left the room before the cross-examination, where Alexis got Kristina to say that Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) asked Willow to talk to her to keep her away from the cult. Also, she added that she had never seen Willow with a weapon.

Justine Questioned Brook Lynn About Edward’s Gun

Justine then questioned Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) about Edward Quartermaine’s (John Ingle) gun and its location.

When she asked about Willow and Drew’s relationship while Willow was still married, Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) tried to object but was overruled.

Brook Lynn acknowledged they were close, but when Justine pressed on how close, Alexis objected again.

Brook Lynn explained that everyone saw them intimate when the sex tape aired, but when Justine asked about Drew’s strong influence over Willow, Alexis objected once more, and the acting DA concluded. Alexis had no questions, so Brook Lynn left the stand.

Elizabeth Was Called To The Stand

Next was Elizabeth Baldwin (Rebecca Herbst), who told the court about the gun found in Willow’s room. She explained that she took Willow in after the defendant left Drew at the altar for having an affair with her mother. Justine sarcastically remarked that was quite a motive, but retracted her comment after Alexis objected.

The acting DA questioned Liz about Willow and Drew’s relationship, getting her to admit they weren’t speaking at the time of the shooting. Justine suggested that since Willow couldn’t see her kids while with Drew, she might have wanted to remove that barrier.

Drew Threatened Alexis About Scout

Once more, Alexis raised an objection, prompting the judge to caution Justine to be careful. During the cross-examination, Liz stated that she had never witnessed Willow displaying hostility towards Drew, emphasizing that she was both a good nurse and a caring mother.

The judge then called for a recess, during which Drew attempted to comfort a concerned Willow, assuring her that the jury would see through Turner’s manipulations.

He subsequently scolded Alexis for her mistakes. “If you continue like this,” he fumed, “I promise you, you will never see Scout Quartermaine (Cosette Abinante) again.”

Chase Asked Dante About The Traffic Cam Footage

In the hallway, Chase asked about the traffic cam footage, and Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) suspected it had been tampered with.

Chase hoped he wasn’t being accused, insisting he would never alter evidence. Alexis told Drew that making the traffic photos inadmissible was a big win, but he insisted that when he testified, he would say he remembered Michael shooting him.

Alexis warned that their case couldn’t handle another lie, and when he said he was willing to take that chance, she confronted him. She  stated she wouldn’t support perjury and wouldn’t risk her license again.

Drew Testified He Didn’t Remember Who Shot Him

When court resumed, Drew took the stand, and Justine asked him about the night he was shot-he said he had a drink, opened the safe, and was shot in the back.

She then inquired if he knew who shot him, and everyone waited as he finally confessed he didn’t. The prosecution rested, and when Alexis had no questions for Drew, the judge ended the day, and as the courtroom emptied, Alexis told him he made the right choice.

Drew snapped back, “For your sake, you’d better hope I did. If you don’t fix this, I swear I will do what I said. Just because I don’t remember Michael shooting me doesn’t mean I won’t.” Alexis frowned, and behind her, Willow looked worried.

Isaiah Entertained Portia At His Cabin

In Isaiah Gannon’s (Sawandi Wilson) cabin, he tried to entertain Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr) while she relaxed; he suggested playing chess with checkers to replace missing pieces.

He got emotional remembering his father teaching him and thought about being a dad, and  promised to be the best father if the baby was his. Portia believed him and promised to get the paternity test soon.

Later, Portia won the game, but their celebration was interrupted by a call from Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) checking on her after her early hospital discharge. He offered to bring her anything she needed, but she assured him her girlfriend was taking care of her.

Brad And Britt Couldn’t Pay For Their Meal

Brad Cooper (Parry Shen)  and Britt  Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud)had a hard time gathering enough money for their pricey lunch at Café Cherie. He suggested calling someone for help, but she insisted they solve it themselves.

When the waiter came to take the check, Britt delayed by ordering more dessert. Once he went to the kitchen, she quickly left the restaurant with a shocked Brad following her.

They went back to her room above Bobbie’s and laughed, happy to be together again-Brad confessed that when he learned she was alive, he did everything to get back to Port Charles.

Chase Made Two Arrests

As he looked around her room, he wondered how she was affording it and how she convinced Carly Spencer (Laura Wright)  to let her stay. Britt said it “took a village” and mentioned that even though no one liked her, she had formed a bond with Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr). Brad was surprised, and Britt complained that Lulu didn’t want her near Ben.

This was even though she was much better than the parent of her other child, Charlotte Cassadine (Bluesy Burke)- the escaped convict Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart). Their fun ended when Chase knocked on her door and arrested them both!

Josslyn And Jason Had A Conversation About Britt

Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) told Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) she trusted him more than Jack. She confirmed that Henry Dalton (Daniel Goddard), Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota), and the Five Poppies were linked to Cesar Faison’s (Anders Hove) last project.

But she also said Britt isn’t a victim, she’s a willing participant. Joss admitted she didn’t know the project details, just that it involved cold fusion- Jason remembered Britt talking about cold fusion on the flight back to Port Charles.

Joss explained Dalton was sending Britt data to analyze, and after the Five Poppies was destroyed, she kept working with him in Port Charles and was likely involved in the professor’s disappearance.

Jason Asked Josslyn How She Was Gathering Evidence On Sidwell

When Jason asked how she was gathering evidence on Sidwell, Joss revealed she was told to use Lucas Jones (Van Hansis), who didn’t know he was a WSB asset.

Noticing Jason’s reaction to Spoon Island, she pressed him, and he admitted that when Britt returned, he found her on the docks; she might have been going there.

Josslyn pointed out the evidence was clear, but Jason argued they could be forcing Britt to do their work for her Huntington’s meds.

Josslyn offered to find more information, but he didn’t want her to take risks. She insisted, and he noted she was as stubborn as her mom, but asked her to be careful-Joss promised she would and smiled, saying it was nice to work together.

Lulu And Nathan Stood Up Against Jack

Lulu and Nathan criticized Jack for suggesting the detective was like Faison. Jack thought Nathan’s memory loss was convenient, and Nathan replied that as a police detective, he was different from the WSB. Lulu agreed and yelled at Jack for trying to manipulate her.

She told him to leave her house, and Jack warned that Valentin’s freedom would harm everyone, including Charlotte. As he left, he bumped into Nina- Brennan hoped she was there to keep their deal, she prepared herself and knocked on the door, surprised to find her brother inside.

Lulu Thought Nina Came To See Charlotte

Lulu thought Nina was there for Charlotte, and Nina said she wanted to take her to lunch. Charlotte came down and pleaded with her mom to let her leave, and when Lulu hesitated, Nathan offered to get a  guard for them.

Lulu agreed, and Nina took Charlotte out; Nathan reassured Lulu that Charlotte was safe, but she worried her daughter heard Jack’s threat to Valentin.

Nathan complimented Lulu for standing up to Jack, and she expressed her frustration with how he treated Nathan. She shared her feelings about resuming life after it had moved on, and hated that Maxie  Jones (Kirsten Storms) would face the same; Nathan promised they would support Maxie together.

Nina And Charlotte Talked At Café Cherie

At Cafe Cherie, Nina inquired about Charlotte’s well-being and encouraged her to speak freely. The teenager confessed that she felt torn between her parents, and Nina reassured her that she was the center of Valentin’s universe.

She mentioned  it must be heartbreaking for him not to communicate with her. Charlotte revealed that he had actually been in touch, and Nina quickly urged her to keep that information to herself.

“Powerful people are looking for your father, on both sides of the law- I care for you a lot… more than you realize, but you can’t trust anyone with this;  not even me.”

Carly Couldn’t Believe Jack Was As Bad As Valentin Thought

Carly couldn’t accept that Jack was keeping a damaging recording of her for future use, but Valentin pointed out her ties to Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Jason.

He suggested she might not even be Brennan’s main target. She remembered how Jack had aided Jason, Anna Devane (Finola Hughes), and Lucky Spencer (Jonathan Jackson), brought Charlotte back, and supported her during Michael’s recovery from burns.

Valentin questioned if Jack’s good actions outweighed his past harm to her daughter; Carly was puzzled why Jack would save Michael yet endanger Josslyn by involving her with the WSB. Valentin recalled how Jack pretended to be his friend until he needed someone to blame.

Valentin Threatened To Pull Out Of His And Carly’s Partnership

He thought Jack might genuinely care for her, but the existence of that recording indicated their relationship was based on deception, with her merely being a pawn. Valentin then stated their deal was finished because he sensed uncertainty and needed her full commitment.

“I’m just trying to understand when Jack began to manipulate me,” Carly said bitterly. “I’m realizing that every good thing he did was to make me feel secure so he could exploit me and my daughter. That makes me despise him even more; let me be clear: I have never been more determined to take Jack Brennan down than I am right now.”
