Sonny Stuns Dante With His Latest Decision — and Jacinda Makes a Dangerous Move Against Willow!
Thursday, August 6, 2026: Today on General Hospital, Curtis’ trial wraps up with closing arguments, Jason and Tracy have a heart-to-heart about his decision, and Serena meets with Michael.
In court, Martin asks Portia how long she was sleeping with Isaiah while married to Curtis. Portia objects, which Martin says, “You can’t do that!” She says her personal life has nothing to do with her ex-husband assaulting Dr. Gannon. The judge warns she could be held in contempt and then tells Martin to make his point and move on.
Will Curtis Go to Jail?
Martin forces the point that Portia cheated on Curtis after three years of marriage, but Portia says she and Curtis were estranged when she began seeing Isaiah. Martin then gets Portia to admit that before Curtis punched Isaiah, Isaiah stated he’d be a better father to his child than Curtis would. Martin calls that provoking, and Molly objects due to speculation.
Molly questions Portia and points out that while Portia had moved on with Isaiah, Curtis moved on with Jordan. Molly also asks if Isaiah threatened Curtis, which Portia says he didn’t. When asked who threw the punch, Portia states it was Curtis.
Drew is called to the stand and is good on his word, explaining Willow was not on Rt. 91 that night, and his wife was home with him. He explains it was a misunderstanding between him and Joe when he was locked in and had to blink to communicate.
Isaiah is next on the stand, and he describes the injuries to his hand and his inability to perform surgery currently, including a lifesaving liver transplant for a child. Molly asks if he’ll be able to operate again, and Isaiah says he doesn’t know.
Martin cross-examines, and Isaiah admits he was on Rt. 91 to see a patient, who is protected by HIPAA. Martin brings up the car he drives, and the repairs he had to it around the time of Jordan and Curtis’ accident, which is why Martin notes Curtis might conclude he was in the other car. Molly objects, and Martin asks if he intentionally provoked Curtis the night of the assault. Isaiah says he only made a statement he believed to be true.
Jordan is next on the stand and asked to describe her injuries to the court. She also recounts Isaiah visiting her in the hospital, which she didn’t ask him to, and suspects it was his guilt. Molly cross-examines, and also points out she and Isaiah used to be friends, so he may have visited her out of concern. She also brings up that Jordan used to be the police commissioner, and the lack of basic evidence that exists to charge Isaiah with any wrongdoing.
Finally, Martin calls Curtis to the stand and asks why Curtis believes Isaiah was the other car that night. Curtis lists all the circumstantial evidence he’s been rambling on to anyone who will listen for the past few months. Martin asks why he punched Isaiah that night. Curtis says he believes Isaiah left him and Jordan for dead, and is actively trying to push him out of his own family. Molly cross-examines, and Curtis admits Isaiah made no physical threats towards him the night of the punch.
Is Willow Digging Her Own Grave?
Willow arrives at Nina’s with coffees and lashes out at her for going to Jack about her kids. Nina says she didn’t question her child-rearing methods, but her plan to push Anna to reopen the case into Drew’s shooting, which Jack agrees is a terrible one. Willow says she can’t be tried again, and she won’t back down from Michael.
Nina warns that her success as a congresswoman and her win over Drew have made her overconfident. Willow refuses to believe that, and right now, she’s in the strongest position ever to get her kids back, and she won’t squander it. Nina asks Willow what she has done now…
Michael Meets Serina
At the pool, Serena apologizes for landing in Jack’s lap. They introduce themselves to one another. Jack gets a call; it’s work, and he says he’s sure he’ll see her around.
Serena then grabs Michael’s lounge. When he gets out of the pool, he tells her that she’s in his spot. She says, “I know, I’m here to ambush you.” Michael asks who she is and learns she’s Lucy’s daughter. He wonders what brings her back to Port Charles, and she tells him, “What you did to my mother.”
Serena says her mom needed her after what happened at Deception, so here she is. Michael assures Serena that Maxie trusted him to act in the best interest of the company, not side with Tracy or Lucy exclusively. Serena says that puts her mind at ease, but her mom still sees him as a Quartermaine. Serena hopes he won’t have a problem with her working at Deception with her mother. Michael has no problem with Serena working there, and he only works at Deception on a broader scale. However, she will have another hurdle to deal with.
Laura Has a Kevin Update
At Bobbie’s, Laura, who has trimmed her hair, meets with Lucy. Lucy tells Laura that Serena is back in town, and she knows Kevin and her were close, so she wants to throw a surprise party for him and Serena. Laura says Kevin isn’t coming back and he’s staying in Dublin through the fall semester. She’ll be visiting him soon and may be able to bring Ace home with Sidwell out of the picture. Eventually, Lucy says she must get back to her daughter, and races off.
What Is Jacinda Planning?
Outside of Bobbie’s, Jacinda meets with Ezra, who brought what she asked for. He notes she left them at his place long ago, so why does she need them now? She says it’s been a bad day, and he produces a bag of pills. He asks what happened, and she admits Willow has filed a restraining order against her regarding Michael’s children. Ezra tells her it’s not safe for her to be alone and take these, but Jacinda says he needs to steer clear of her for his reputation’s sake, and she’ll be fine. He makes her promise to call if she needs him.
Laura Takes More Meetings
After Lucy departs, Laura spots Jacinda outside with Ezra. Jacinda soon takes off, and Ezra heads in and joins Laura. Laura asks about what she just saw regarding him and Jacinda. She warns him that Jacinda is seeing Michael, who is at odds with Willow, and he doesn’t want to get involved in that mess. Ezra knows what is going on and refuses to turn his back on Jacinda, saying “those people” may destroy her and throw her away without a second thought.
Later, it’s Jack’s turn to talk with Laura. He was hoping to find common ground between her office and the WSB, but Laura tells him, “Nope!” She orders him to sit, and then says there will be no common ground until he explains why Jenz Sidwell has not been taken out of Port Charles.
Willow Did What?
Back at Nina’s, she is stunned to learn Willow filed a restraining order against Jacinda and says this will just anger Michael even further. Willow doesn’t care! That’s when Jacinda arrives with Nina’s laundry. Jacinda snarks that she got Willow’s restraining order, and clearly she must feel threatened by her. Willow heads to the other room, and Nina excuses herself to grab something for her assistant to take to the office. Jacinda spots the coffees Willow brought earlier, one with Nina’s name and one with Willow’s, and pulls out her bag of pills.
Sonny Shares Big News
Dante arrives at Sonny’s place to talk, and as they chit-chat about softball, Dante learns Jason won’t be playing on his dad’s team this year. Sonny tells his son Jason is done for good after what happened in Jakarta. He’s not the same man he was when he left that night on the pier; something in him broke.
Dante never thought he’d see them part, but he’s happy for Jason and Danny. However, where does this leave his dad? Without Jason in front of him to take a bullet, what is his dad going to do now? He and his kids need him here, and how can he sleep again knowing his dad is unprotected? Sonny tells Dante, “You don’t need to worry, because I’m walking away too.”
Tracy Is Proud of Jason
In the Quartermaine kitchen, Tracy was summoned to see Jason, who tells her that he quit working for Sonny. Tracy notes this has happened before, so why is this time different? Jason says there was no fallout or fight; he’s just done.
Tracy asks why now? Jason explains it’s Danny; he’s all he has with Sam gone. Jason thought moving Danny in here would be enough, but he deserves a better father. Jason says he has to set a better example and has to be here to steer him away from the wrong paths in life. Tracy is moved, as what Jason wants for Danny is what Alan and Monica wanted for him.
Jason admits he’s been thinking about Alan and Monica a lot lately. Tracy says they longed for this day, and Jason wishes he could tell them he’s sorry for the worry he put them through. Tracy notes he had to get here in his own time, and to know if they were here, they’d be so happy and grateful.
In the Show’s Final Moments
In court, Molly and Martin make their closing arguments in Curtis’ trial.
At Bobbie’s, Jack tells Laura the WSB didn’t want to make any more waves in town and with the DA than it already has, so they’re letting the local jurisdiction deal with Sidwell. However, he’ll have her back if she feels Sidwell is still a threat. Laura says she’ll hold him to that.
At home, Jason admits to Tracy he’s worried making this change could be too late. Tracy says take it from her, it’s never too late to change. If she can, so can he.
At Sonny’s, Dante asks what brought this on? Sonny says Sidwell’s fall has opened opportunities he’s taking advantage of. Dante never thought he’d see this day. Sonny never thought he’d see the day where he no longer had to worry about his work compromising Dante’s badge, and they embrace.
At the pool, Lucy spies on Michael and Serena and says, “That’s my girl!” Serena tells Michael she knows Tracy is a formidable opponent and she’s up to the challenge.
Finally, at Nina’s, Jacinda drugs Willow’s coffee with the pills.
On the next General Hospital, Molly tells Portia, “These are things that won’t work in our favor.” Jordan tells Curtis she’s going to sit this one out. Ava tells someone they have a common interest to explore. Jacinda tells Michael, “I think things are about to change for the congresswoman.” Joss meets with Hudson and says, “You need to figure out how we fix this.” Anna tells someone, “He betrayed all of us.”
