Brook Lynn Quartermaine Feels Guilty

Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) wanted to whisk Brook Lynn away to Manhattan during Curtis Ashford’s (Donnell Turner) trial.

But Brook Lynn hesitated, not wanting to leave Phoebe Chase (Luna and Lucia Creighton) behind. Burdened by guilt, she contemplated confessing her perceived role in the accident.

She hoped it would mend things between Curtis and Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson);Tracy helped Brook Lynn see the potential losses of speaking out.

Fearing Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) might never forgive her for the secret, Brook Lynn decided to remain silent to protect her marriage and family.

Martin Grey’s Plea Deal Bargain

Before Curtis’s trial commenced, Martin Grey (Michael E. Knight) tried to convince Molly Lansing-Davis (Kristen Vaganos) to accept a plea deal without jail time, but she stood her ground.

In the courtroom hallway, Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) stepped in during a tense moment involving Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr), Isaiah, Curtis, and Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper).

Joe Fitzpatrick (Jonathan Bennett) praised Lucas for calming the situation, and upon discovering they were both there to testify, Joe questioned Lucas’s impartiality, considering Portia and Isaiah were his colleagues.

Molly Lansing-Davis’ Warning

In the courtroom, General Hospital recaps for Wednesday state that Molly warned Isaiah that Curtis’ lawyer would attempt to provoke him on the stand, stressing the importance of staying calm for their case.

Jordan urged Portia to testify truthfully for Desmond Robinson Ashford (Yireh Avaiah Lafond), claiming the assault was just a domestic issue, but she refused.  

During her opening statement, Molly informed the jury that the car accident was a distraction, and the punch that injured Isaiah was unlawful.

When Martin spoke to the jury, he argued that Curtis was provoked and that Isaiah was responsible for his own injury in the domestic dispute. Lucas then testified without any problems.

Courtroom Drama

When Joe took the stand, Martin tried to make him concede that he might have acted too quickly in arresting Curtis instead of diffusing the domestic situation.

Later, Lucas met Joe in the hallway, where Lucas expressed he believed the arrest was justified, to which Joe responded that he hoped justice would be served for everyone involved.

When it was Portia’s turn to testify, she stated that Curtis had taunted Isaiah as he attempted to leave before the punch.

She also mentioned that Isaiah could no longer perform a specialized procedure that only a few surgeons could do due to his injury.

During cross-examination, Martin questioned Portia about the duration of her marriage to his client before she began an affair with the alleged victim.

Mother-Daughter Scheming Session

At Bobbie’s, Lucy and her daughter plotted for Serena to charm Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) to reclaim the Deception shares he purchased from Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms).

When Lucy checked if Serena was on board, Serena saw it as a way to balance the scales with the Quartermaines.

Later, Lucy shared her hidden agenda with Felicia Scorpio (Kristina Wagner), who reminded her that Serena made her own decision and urged Lucy to have faith in that.

Lucy excitedly noted that Serena and Michael could be a great couple — and if she ever married Alan Quartermaine’s (Stuart Damon) grandson, she could wear Lucy’s red wedding dress.

Metro Court Pool Run-In

Michael and Jacinda Bracken (Paige Herschell) encountered Willow Corinthos (Katelyn MacMullen) and Wiley Corinthos (Viron Weaver) at the Metro Court pool.

While Wiley and Michael enjoyed swimming, Willow warned Jacinda to keep her distance from the kids, but Jacinda dismissed her.

Later, Jack Brennan (Chris L. McKenna) found Willow at the pool when Michael and Jacinda saw them talking.

Michael feared it would spell trouble for him. Jack cautioned Willow against pressuring the PCPD to reopen the case against Michael regarding Drew’s shooting.

Serena Baldwin’s Slip Up

Frustrated that her mother had shared that information with Jack, Willow declared she was ready to risk Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) discovering the camera footage for more time with her kids.

Dressed in a revealing bikini, Serena arrived at the pool and watched as Michael bid farewell to Wiley.

Before he left, Willow asked Michael to check with Jacinda about their conversation, eager to know what Jacinda had told him.

With her eyes on Michael, Serena strutted across the pool deck to flirt but slipped on a puddle, landing right in Jack’s lap!

Sonny Corinthos Wants Answers

Sonny called Ava to his house, demanding to know if she was involved in Ethan Lovett’s (Christian Howard) disappearance.

Ava claimed she had no clue why Ethan left or where he went, but mentioned he had called her from a burner phone to say he wasn’t returning.

She then asked if Ethan had fled because Sonny wanted him to kill Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison)  to keep him away from Michael.

Sonny denied the claim and questioned if Ava had spoken ill of him in front of Avery Jerome-Corinthos (Ava and Grace Scarola).

He then warned her that there would be consequences for anyone who threatened his family or those close to him. “And that includes you or Drew,” he added.
