Michael Corinthos Outwits

When Willow got to the Quartermaine house to pick up Wiley and Amelia Corinthos (Viron Weaver, Sienna Goerisch), Michael confronted her with evidence that she attempted to kill Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison).

He presented signed affidavits from Kai Taylor (Jens Austin Astrup) and Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) confirming they were at the house that night.

Willow tried to deny the accusation, but when Michael pointed out that double jeopardy didn’t apply in family court and threatened to reveal her crime, she angrily grabbed the rolling pin from the kids’ cookie-baking session.

After stopping her from hitting him, Michael proposed that Willow could stay involved in the kids’ lives and maintain their current custody arrangement if she moved into the gatehouse.

Realizing she had no other options, Willow reluctantly agreed.

Curtis Ashford Found Guilty

Martin Grey (Michael E. Knight), Molly Lansing-Davis (Kristen Vaganos), Curtis, Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper), Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson), Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr), Trina, and Kai gathered in the courtroom.

They were to learn that the jury had found Curtis guilty of assaulting Isaiah. Curtis and Jordan were devastated when the judge sentenced him to ten years in Pentonville, with the possibility of parole after two years.

Martin managed to secure Curtis 48 hours before he was due to report to prison and intended to file an appeal for his client. Curtis shared an emotional farewell with Trina, while Jordan vowed to wait for him.

Bad News …

General Hospital recaps for Thursday show reveal that Portia returned home and informed Stella Henry (Verneé Watson) and Marshall Ashford (Robert Gossett), who had been watching Des Ashford (Yireh Aviah Lafond), about the verdict.

Curtis arrived shortly after, and as he said a heartfelt goodbye to the baby, Portia assured Marshall that she would help Curtis reconnect with his son when the time came.

After the sentencing, Isaiah and Jordan found themselves at the Metro Court Gardens, the location of the assault.

Jordan asserted that Isaiah had received everything he desired, but a hurt Isaiah countered that he only sought justice, not to ruin Curtis’s life.

Jordan shot back that he had to understand he couldn’t achieve one without the other.

Rocco Falconeri Caught Up With Britt Westbourne 

At the pool, Britt met up with Rocco, who expressed his frustrations about how his parents have been excessively protective and suffocating since his return home.

Rocco felt a surge of joy when Britt revealed that she was going to live, as her Huntington’s diagnosis had been fabricated by Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes).

Britt kindly reminded Rocco that he had inadvertently hurt his parents when he ran away with her. She encouraged him to allow his parents some time, assuring him they would eventually relax their grip.

Emma Scorpio-Drake Vents

Emma Scorpio-Drake (Braedyn Bruner) confided in Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) about the scarce time she and Gio Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza) have spent together recently and her anxiety about them growing apart.

While occasionally glancing at the towel stand where Britt was chatting with Rocco, Anna provided her granddaughter with suggestions on how the couple could navigate their busy lives.

Suddenly, Peter August (Wes Ramsey) appeared to caution Anna against letting Britt jeopardize her close bond with Emma, prompting Anna to propose a weekend getaway for Emma and Gio to get them out of town.

Later, Anna went to Britt and said she would investigate Cassius Faison (Ryan Paevey); she mentioned that her inquiry needed to be secret and insisted on meeting in person if she found anything.

Peter praised Anna for her plan and told her to lure Britt to a hidden spot to get rid of her for good.

Josslyn Jacks’ Clash

General Hospital recaps for August 13 state that Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) had a tense moment with Hudson Parker (Troy Lennon Appel), who pressed her for a decision on who would lead JJE.

Josslyn told Hudson to back off, not wanting to rush. He pointed out that the company was struggling without a leader, so they agreed that Hudson would narrow down the CEO candidates for her.

Meanwhile, with her father going to prison, Trina started to doubt her choice to cut off contact with her parents, feeling she had wasted time.

Kai reassured her that her decision was right for her then; as Trina poured her feelings into song writing, Kai left her alone at Bobbie’s to concentrate. However, someone noticed Kai leaving and watched Trina through the diner’s window.
