Today on General Hospital – Cody And Molly Were  Interrupted

After a night together, Cody made Molly a big stack of pancakes for breakfast. He asked if she thought he was a bad influence, and she said she was following her sister’s advice to live her life.

Cody invited her to spend the day with him, but as he picked her up to go to his bedroom, Felicia Scorpio (Kristina Wagner) and James West (Gary James Fuller)  arrived. They came  for a riding lesson that Cody had forgotten. 

Realizing the interruption, Felicia offered to bring James back later, but Molly insisted he try the new saddle he got for Christmas. They said goodbye, but it got awkward when James asked if Molly was Cody’s girlfriend-he said yes, but she said no. (Make sure to check out our weekly GH spoilers, here!)

Laura Called Charlotte To Babysit Ace

Laura Collins (Genie Francis) reached out to Charlotte Cassadine (Bluesy Burke) to look after Ace Cassadine (Kieran and Karis Barry) because the little boy’s nanny was unwell.

Charlotte’s taking care of Ace would allow Laura to concentrate on a crucial meeting. Charlotte suggested taking her cousin to the park, assuring that they would be completely safe with her security team, as she doubted her father would confront her in broad daylight.

After discussing Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) and how his reputation made everyone overly cautious about Charlotte’s safety, Laura finally consented to let her grandkids go to the park. Charlotte exited the condo with Ace holding her hand.

Ezra Arrived With New Marching Orders From Sidwell

Later, Ezra Boyle (Daniel Cosgrove) showed up and told Laura that Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) wanted her to back the installation of helipads on Spoon Island and the piers. Laura countered that it was unjust to the residents of Port Charles for Sidwell to land his private helicopter on public property simply because he preferred not to take the launch to the mainland. Unfazed, Ezra snacked on nuts as he responded that it was her responsibility to convince the citizens.

He suggested that Laura should just give their boss what he desired. He continued, saying  as she wouldn’t want to witness Sidwell’s behavior when he didn’t get his way.

Marco And Jenz Chatted About Willow’s Trial, Drew’s Potential Downfall And Laura’s Compliance

At Bobbie’s, Marco Rios (Adrian Anchondo) and Sidwell talked about Willow Cain’s (Katelyn MacMullen) trial. Sidwell mentioned that if Willow were found guilty of shooting Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison), the congressman would be ineffective on Capitol Hill since they wouldn’t be able to get him reelected.

It would be even more detrimental if Drew faced impeachment and was convicted of blackmail, so they needed a new connection in Washington to keep their import businesses secure.

While he currently had the local politicians under control, Sidwell noted that Laura didn’t appreciate being bossed around. So they had to ensure the mayor stayed compliant by reminding her of what she could potentially lose.

Jordan And Curtis Talked About Their Reconciliation

Meanwhile, Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper) and Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) woke up together in bed and promised not to repeat the mistakes that had previously separated them.

He was set on prioritizing not just their relationship, but also the one he had with Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali). They went to Bobbie’s, where she exchanged quick pleasantries with her boss and his son before they found a table across the restaurant.

When Curtis inquired about working for Sidwell, Jordan said it was the best job she’d ever had. But she  hinted that she had her own motives due to her suspicions about his illegal activities.

Curtis Told Jordan He’s There If She Needs Him Regarding SIdwell

Curtis told her she didn’t need to share anything with him, but he was willing to support her if she needed it. She replied that she planned to enjoy her work… until the moment she took Sidwell down.

Later, their discussion shifted back to their renewed relationship and the secrets they had kept from each other during their first marriage.

Jordan questioned whether their situation was any different now since they both had things they couldn’t share. The couple promised to always engage in tough conversations, even if they preferred to avoid them.

Sidwell Implied A Threat To Ace While Talking To Charlotte

Outside, Sidwell was wrapping up a phone call when Charlotte and Ace came over-she was taken aback that he recognized her and her cousin, and Sidwell mentioned that he knew her grandmother. ‘

When Marco stepped outside, Sidwell introduced him and noted that Charlotte had once lived at Wyndemere with her father. Ace started to get fidgety, so Charlotte opted to take him home for his nap instead of giving him a cookie as she had intended.

However, before they departed, Sidwell cautioned her to keep a close watch on her cousin since kids that age tend to wander off. Concerned, Charlotte forced a smile and thanked Sidwell for the advice, then took Ace’s hand and led him away.

Sidwell Explained To Marco, Charlotte Warned Laura

After Charlotte and Ace left, Sidwell told Marco that Charlotte was Valentin’s daughter, and they could use a man like Valentin for their project.

Marco pointed out that Valentin was a fugitive, but Sidwell believed they could convince Charlotte to get her father on board. Marco understood why his dad was so nice to Charlotte- until he made an implied threat against a child-he explained he just wanted to send a message to Mayor Collins.

Back at Laura’s, Charlotte shared with her grandmother that she met Mr. Sidwell while out with Ace, and he sent his regards.

When Laura wanted details, Charlotte felt scared when she heard that Sidwell suggested she watch Ace closely because kids could be unpredictable and might vanish if you looked away for even a second.

Kristina Blasted Alexis

Deciding to change  her legal strategy, Alexis shared her updated witness list with Suzanne (Jen Ray) and explained her new plan to target Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) as the main suspect.

Suzanne questioned if Alexis was influenced by the anonymous letter she received, but Alexis quickly dismissed it, stating the letter lacked proof. Still, she intended to prove the letter’s claims true.

Later, Kristina entered the empty living room and started reading a file on the coffee table. When Alexis came back, Kristina confronted her for accusing her brother of a crime he didn’t commit.

Alexis Explained Her Strategy

Alexis replied that after reviewing the evidence, she believed if the police had done their job, Michael would be on trial.

As they argued, Alexis mentioned she had reason to think Michael was at Drew’s house the night of the shooting. Kristina, having seen the note in the folder, countered that Drew might have sent the letter and was using Alexis to ensure Michael faced consequences for Willow’s actions.

Alexis argued it was her responsibility to build a strong case to create reasonable doubt for Willow, not just for her client but also for Scout Cain (Cosette Abinante) and Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco).

With Scout’s well-being at risk, Alexis warned Kristina not to inform Michael about the case’s new direction, adding that Michael was an adult and could handle himself.

Dante Conferred With Turner

At Acting District Attorney Justine Turner’s (Nazneen Contractor) office, she and Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) discussed the tampered traffic camera footage.

When she asked if anyone in the department could have altered it, he frowned, saying a few days ago he would have said no, but now he wasn’t sure.

Justine recognized that losing the footage was a setback, and Alexis would exploit that to cast doubt on Willow and blame someone else.

Justine pointed out that even though Michael was cleared, he remained a suspect. And she wanted to know what Curtis discussed with Selina Wu that night.

Suzanne Arrived With Alexis’ Updated Witness List

Suzanne then came in with Alexis’s updated witness list, which included Dante, Ezra Boyle, Jacinda Bracken (Paige Herschell), Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot), Michael, and Elizabeth Baldwin (Rebecca Herbst).

After Alexis’s assistant left, Justine complained that, with the new list, Alexis would argue that the PCPD was wrong to focus on Willow as the shooter.

Dante agreed, suspecting Alexis would claim he wasn’t pursuing Michael as a suspect because they were brothers. Justine reminded Dante to be honest during his testimony, and she’d object if needed. She added that Alexis had made a mistake by trying to blame Portia to save Willow, which ended up benefiting them.

Dante And Justine Discussed The Case Some More

Dante inquired whether she was pursuing the case due to it being Anna Devane’s (Finola Hughes) investigation, or if she thought Willow was guilty.

Justine responded that the beauty of the law lay in the fact that their beliefs were irrelevant. They adhered to the letter of the law to present the facts as effectively as possible, while Alexis was tasked with defending her client to the best of her capabilities.

Ultimately, after both sides had presented their arguments, it would be the jury’s responsibility to determine the verdict. Of course, assuming that the jurors were all impartial.

Sonny Warned Michael

Sonny invited Michael over and told him about running into Justine at Café Cherie; saying she was interested in him and asked if Michael had received a subpoena for the trial.

Michael answered that he was already on Alexis’s witness list, which led Sonny to conclude that both lawyers were planning to make Michael say something he would regret.

Michael believed that Alexis would argue he might be the shooter, and Sonny anticipated that during cross-examination, Justine would use Michael to highlight Willow’s poor judgment.

Sonny warned that she would trap him into saying negative things about his ex-wife. He continued,  if Michael lashed out against Willow on the stand, it would have lasting effects on Wiley and Amelia Corinthos (Viron Weaver, Serenity and Sequoia Mork Macko).

Frustrated, Michael Clapped Back At His Father

Frustrated, Michael responded that he wanted his kids to know the truth about their mother, how she always prioritized her needs over theirs, and that he would do anything to protect them.

“Anything?” Sonny asked pointedly; angrily, Michael shouted that he understood what his father was implying. In this situation where he had framed Willow, the final blow would be taking the witness stand and ensuring everyone knew what his ex was capable of.

That meant that she would be locked away for good, as that was the only way his children would be safe. “So, what are you telling me?”

Sonny pressed; in reply, Michael calmly said, “That when I finally get on that stand, everything I say will be for the sake of my children.”
