This week on General Hospital, Port Charles was thrown into immediate chaos when Nathan informed Dante that Valentin had escaped during a plane transfer by parachuting midair, prompting a joint PCPD and WSB manhunt. Chase was pulled away from the Quartermaine house to assist in the search, while Dante warned Lulu that Valentin would likely attempt to reach Charlotte. This led Lulu to confine the kids despite Charlotte’s refusal to promise she wouldn’t leave if her father appeared. Nathan was assigned to guard Lulu’s home as Jack coordinated surveillance and pushed for cooperation between agencies, while Alexis was questioned about any contact with Valentin and had guards placed outside her house. Carly soon discovered Valentin hiding at her place, where he asked for supplies, a burner phone, and a way to contact Anna; she refused to shelter him inside but ultimately allowed him to hide in the shed and later the attic to keep him out of sight when Joss unexpectedly returned home. Valentin asked Carly to deliver a key tied with a blue ribbon to Charlotte to signal that he was alive and to urge her to stay put, which Carly discreetly left outside Lulu’s house. Charlotte found it and silently returned the gesture, unaware Valentin was watching from afar. Meanwhile, at Wyndemere, Lucas reunited with Marco, who tried to reassure him amid police searches of the estate tied to Valentin’s escape, while Pascal quietly confirmed that Sidwell had ensured nothing incriminating would be found. Marco privately admitted he could never let Lucas learn the truth about his father’s business. Elsewhere, Britt woke up hungover to find Jason watching over her after their chaotic night, thanked him for helping with her medication, and quickly shut down any attempt to discuss it, while privately flashing back to daring him to kiss her. At the courthouse, Alexis continued prepping Willow for trial, running a mock examination that quickly fell apart when Suzanne declared that Willow came off as guilty due to defensiveness and overexplaining, even as Drew insisted Willow’s performance was convincing. At the PCPD, ADA Turner, Dante, and Nathan reviewed new footage from The Savoy that showed Selina Wu present the night Drew was shot, raising suspicions about Curtis. He was later confronted by Nina at Aurora after she admitted she had named Portia as a possible suspect while trying to protect Willow. Curtis was arrested for making a false statement and obstruction of justice, devastating Portia, who arrived too late to stop it and immediately called for legal help. At the hospital, Britt was urgently summoned by Portia during a medical emergency, despite no longer holding a license, and stepped in without hesitation, later asking Isaiah to fetch Lucas so proper tests could be ordered. Isaiah learned that Portia was pregnant and that he could be the father. Britt braced herself for discipline from Lucas, only to be stunned when he instead offered to write her another letter of recommendation, acknowledging her skill and insisting she belonged in medicine. As Curtis sat in custody, Trina struggled to process learning her father had lied to the police and might be connected to Selina. Jordan quietly worked behind the scenes to help him, and Drew later visited Curtis in jail, forcing them into an uneasy alliance if the shooting was revealed to be a professional hit. Meanwhile, Sidwell made his move on Deception, proposing a lifeline that would give him control over all imports and exports through his shipping company after revealing he had acquired Sonny’s piers. This split Lucy from Brook Lynn and Felicia, who reluctantly agreed to proceed for Maxie’s sake while privately distrusting Sidwell’s motives. Anna’s storyline took a darker turn when it was revealed she was being held captive at Wyndemere, drugged, transported by ferry, and monitored through a two-way mirror. Pascal later entered her cell, offering macarons. Back in Port Charles, Michael struggled to explain Willow’s marriage to Drew to Wiley, and reassured him he would never be forced to leave home. Michael later grew closer to Jacinda as they admitted their connection was no longer about alibis, while Nina walked in on them mid-intimacy. Nathan and Dante reviewed mislabeled traffic cam footage tied to the shooting, both realizing they had finally found something critical. Meanwhile, Portia suffered fears for her pregnancy, Britt absorbed the weight of Lucas’ unexpected faith in her, and Valentin remained hidden, watching his daughter from the shadows as multiple investigations quietly converged. Britt returned to her apartment and was startled to find Jason there, quietly examining her medication. He pressed her about what she was taking and what really happened at the Five Poppies, but Britt shut him down. She reminded him that the drugs were experimental and not something he could trace. At General Hospital, Portia assured Isaiah she was stable and would be released. He offered to let her stay with him at his cabin so she could rest, and she agreed. Curtis and Trina later visited Portia in the hospital and urged her to come home and rest there. Silently, in the background, Isaiah nodded, backing the decision from the doorway. Jason refused to back off, insisting they needed to work together to figure out who was supplying medication that couldn’t be sourced anywhere else. Elsewhere, Alexis warned Kristina that Willow might be exonerated now that another suspect was in custody, but that outcome could still put the Davis girls in danger. At Crimson, Michael asked Nina to give him and Jacinda privacy, infuriating Nina, who stormed out and later threatened to use their office hookup against him at the custody hearing. Michael countered by saying he had already told HR he was dating Jacinda. After he left, Nina privately warned Jacinda that Michael would discard her once he got what he wanted, then struck a deal to look the other way if all the dresses were dry-cleaned. At the Quartermaine mansion, Chase secretly allowed Willow inside, where she asked him to help her see her children, believing her case was nearly over. Brook Lynn shut that down fast, telling Willow she had no right to jeopardize Chase’s job by pushing him to let her violate a court order. Michael overheard part of the conversation, later demanding that Chase and Brook Lynn sign statements confirming Willow had been there. Chase refused, leading to a near physical confrontation before Brook Lynn stepped between them. At the PCPD, Dante reviewed the previously mislabeled traffic cam footage and realized it contradicted Willow’s statement, prompting him to request her full interview. ADA Turner reviewed the evidence and initially moved forward with dropping the charges on Willow. But after seeing footage placing Willow near Drew’s house at the time of the shooting and watching her leave shortly after, she dropped the charges against Curtis. Turner then told Alexis that new contradictions in Willow’s testimony came to light, and could expose Willow to obstruction and perjury charges. Nathan personally informed Nina that Curtis was cleared and Willow was now the focus again. Curtis warned Drew that if he went down, Drew would go with him. Willow returned to Alexis’ house, insisting she hadn’t gone inside or shot Drew, but Alexis made it clear that her lies were making it nearly impossible to do the one thing she was hired to do: prove Willow’s innocence. Jason suggested to Britt that he take her medication to a former intelligence contact who could reverse-engineer it and free her from whoever was controlling her access. Britt deflected, but Jason stayed steady, rattling off her strengths and reminding her he had never turned his back on her. She kissed him, then immediately pulled away and made it clear she wasn’t ready to accept his help.

General Hospital can be seen weekdays on ABC and Hulu.
