Josslyn Jacks Said Too Much

Hudson Parker (Troy Lennon Appel) hung around as Josslyn reviewed paperwork for her father Jasper “Jax” Jacks’ (Ingo Rademacher) company, Jasper Jacks Enterprises, at the Quartermaine boathouse.

When Brook Lynn and Harrison Chase (Amanda Setton, Josh Swickard) arrived with Phoebe Chase (Luna and Lucia Creighton), Josslyn congratulated them on finalizing the adoption.

Hudson’s curiosity was piqued; he and Josslyn took their work to the garage apartment, where he inquired about Phoebe’s adoption.

As he learned about Phoebe’s birth and the closed adoption consent from her ‘father,’ Hudson became suspicious.

Josslyn told him to return to Australia until she appointed a CEO, but he firmly insisted on staying until she found a candidate.

The Chases Spend A Day At The Lake

While at the boathouse, Chase asked Brook Lynn about her thoughts on Willow Cain (Katelyn MacMullen) moving back into the gatehouse.

He also shared his realization that he had perhaps defended Willow too vigorously during the attempted murder trial.

Brook Lynn expressed her discomfort with Willow being on the property, but the couple ultimately reached a consensus.

The consensus was that Willow did not pose a threat to their marriage, thanks to Phoebe’s influence in helping them view their relationship more clearly.

Anna Devane Opens Up

General Hospital recaps for Tuesday reveal that Anna visited Sonny to discuss his choice to legitimize his coffee business; during their conversation, she opened up about her mental breakdown, a challenge Sonny could empathize with.

Anna mentioned that her stay at a French clinic had left her feeling claustrophobic and requested Sonny sell her a piece of his mountaintop land for a private retreat.

Although Sonny recommended she pursue therapy, Anna hesitated when he offered to connect her with his psychiatrist.

Before departing, she inquired again about the land, and Sonny directed her to contact Diane Miller (Carolyn Hennesy), insisting that their deal remain confidential.

Once outside, Peter August (Wes Ramsey) approached Anna, assuring her that she didn’t need a therapist because she had him.

Catch Up

At the park for a softball game, Jason, dressed in an ELQ uniform, informed Britt that he was no longer affiliated with Sonny or a partner in Corinthos Coffee.

Britt recognized Jason’s need to separate himself from the perilous lifestyle for the sake of Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzyn) but questioned whether he could truly walk away.

They also discussed Cassius Faison (Ryan Paevey), with Britt sharing that her mother was heartbroken over Cassius’ death, prompting Britt to seek information about her brother’s passing.

Jason expressed regret for not being there to support her with Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes), but Britt appreciated that he had saved Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr).

Double-Lease

General Hospital recaps for August 18 state that before signing the lease at Marina Towers, Joe Fitzpatrick (Jonathan Bennett) sought clarification from Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring).

He wanted to know more regarding her comment about Willow being on Route 91 during Curtis Ashford’s (Donnell Turner) and Jordan Ashford’s (Tanisha Harper) accident.

Although flustered, Lucy claimed that Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) likely contradicted himself in court to gain a favor from Curtis.

Joe electronically signed the lease, but it wouldn’t process on Lucy’s tablet. She assured him she’d handle it at the office and left, while Joe stayed to take measurements.

Lucas Jones’ Big News

Meanwhile, Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) shared with Ava Jerome (Maura West) over lunch at the pool that he was moving into a new apartment, thanks to Elizabeth Baldwin (Rebecca Herbst).

Ava worried her nephew was moving out too soon after losing Marco Rios (Adrian Anchondo), but Lucas insisted he needed to move on.

With keys in hand, he took Ava to see his new place, where she offered to help with decorating. When Ava felt sad about his move, Lucas joked that he’d just be across town, to which she replied she was tired of men ghosting her.

Ava revealed that Ethan Lovett (Christian Howard) had left town to protect someone, hoping his sacrifice would be worthwhile.

A Stalker Watched Trina Robinson

Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) and Gio Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza) met at the Surf Lodge to talk music before their meeting with Simon (Grady Eldridge).

Trina revealed she was distracted by her father’s impending prison sentence, which motivated her to write a song about regret.

She was taken aback when Emma Scorpio-Drake (Braedyn Bruner) showed up with Quinn (Jequan Jackson) after they had volunteered at the animal shelter.

While waiting for his takeout, Quinn asked Trina about her shift from art to music and discovered she and Gio had a gig in a few weeks.

After Quinn left, Trina remarked to her friends that her initial impression of Kai Taylor’s (Jens Austin Astrup) former teammate was mistaken … as a stalker observed her through a window.
