What happened on General Hospital

Michael thanked Kristina for dropping by and asked for her help explaining to Wiley why his mother married Drew. He knew Wiley wouldn't react positively to the news. Kristina being there when he delivered the bombshell would help soften the blow. She asked Michael how he was doing, and he hadn't been doing well lately. Michael had several reasons not to tell Wiley yet, and the top one was that he couldn't convey it without letting his own emotions come through. She urged him not to pass judgment on Willow in front of his son.
Michael broke the news to Wiley, who was confused about why they weren't allowed to attend. He was terrified that the judge would force him and Amelia to live with Drew. Michael assured him that the Q mansion was his home, and he wouldn't be forced to go anywhere.
Portia summoned Gannon to her office and revealed she would have to come clean to Curtis about their relationship. She thought she'd be compelled to reveal the truth in a court of law. She explained that she had a motive to shoot Drew, and there was a chance that the police would start looking in her direction. If police begin asking questions, the only way to save herself would be to expose that she and Gannon slept together.
He didn't understand how Curtis played into it, but she refused to put him in harm's way. Gannon saw things differently. The idea of people learning that he slept with the co-Chief of Staff could derail his entire career. Despite the risks, he encouraged her to tell the truth if it meant avoiding prison for something she didn't do.
Willow demanded that the jurors hear in her own voice that she didn't shoot the man she claimed to love. She promised she was stronger than she had been in the past. Willow was adamant that the jury would believe her, but Alexis was vehemently against the idea. They've done trial runs, and based on Willow's previous stand appearances, it wasn't worth it. Suzanne offered to be an impartial jury for Willow to practice her testimony in front of.
Drew opposed Suzanne offering her services, but Suzanne defended herself. Alexis supported her, and she believed she'd have the best insight into how Willow's testimony might play out in front of the real jury. Alexis agreed to go in on her in the same way that Turner would, so they set up the mock testimony. Things were going well until Drew interjected and derailed the process. However, they ultimately agreed to continue.
Suzanne thought that the jury would find Willow guilty if she continued down that path, with that testimony. She ran through her reasons, and she felt like Willow spent too much time justifying her actions. The one thing she did understand was Willow's love for her children. Being such a passionate mother worked against her, making it more believable that she'd pull the trigger on Drew.
At the PCPD, they're concerned that they gave Willow a get-out-of-jail-free card because of new evidence against Curtis. The reviewed surveillance footage showed that someone joined him on the night of the shooting, which he never informed them about. Dante declared that it wasn't good for the club owner.
It showed Selina Wu entering the Savoy, but the part thar didn;rt make sense was how they got their hands on Edward's gun. Nathan floated the idea that Portia got the weapon during a visit to Monica. They needed to either find credible evidence against Curtis or exonerate him before Willow's trial began.
Nina walked into Curtis' office and demanded that it couldn't wait because she had something to tell him about Portia and the baby. Nina explained that Alexis needed proof that the police rushed to place the shooting on Willow. However, Nina gave someone Portia's name as a potential person with a motive, and they told Alexis. Curtis was furious that Nina could betray her friend so easily, even if it was to protect her daughter from prosecution.
He tried to get her to understand that by throwing Portia under the bus to protect her child, she may have guaranteed that he would be porn in prison. Nathan arrived and asked Curtis to step out into the hall, and after she left, he told Curtis that he was under arrest. Portia walked in as it was happening, and he pleaded with her to phone his lawyer.
Sidwell, Brook Lynn, and Felicia awaited Sidwell's presence at Wyndemere, and he was concerned about Felicia being there. She was there to ensure Maxie's best interests were taken into consideration. Everyone wanted Maxie's wishes put into effect. Sidwell claimed to have an idea to help Deception thrive again. He revealed that he could help import what they needed, and he shocked them even more by explaining that he now owned Sonny's piers.
Felicia found Sidwell's story entirely far-fetched. Brook Lynn was equally suspicious. They didn't understand what he stood to gain from his new offer to help them. Lucy was ready to blindly agree with anything that Sidwell said. However, Sidwell revealed a new non-negotiable for the team: he wanted to put their company's name on all items that came in through his piers. Brook Lynn declined the offer, knowing Tracy would oppose it as well.
Sidwell asked Lucy to convince her team that Maxie would get behind the changes. She told them they didn't need to believe in Sidwell, but they did need to have faith in her. Lucy played up the Maxie card, and it looked as if Felicia and Brook Lynn were still uneasy about the plan. As they were leaving, they both believed that something was not right about Sidwell's latest development. Once they were gone, Lucy and Sidwell kissed.
Anna screamed at the two-way mirror, and despite trying to escape, she met a dead end. She was certain that it connected someone to Cesar Faison. Anna recalled telling Dante that Jack needed essential information from Valentin. She didn't believe it was a coincidence that Faison's kids rose from the dead around the same time. Despite seeing his brain in a jar, she had no choice but to question if her long-time enemy was somehow still alive.
She recalled being drugged and handcuffed at one point, and sometime after that she was taken out again and transported across a body of water. A man spoke in French over the intercom. The man was revealed to be Pascal, which means Anna is being held somewhere at Wyndemere.
