On the Friday, June 19 episode of General Hospital, Nathan made a shocking decision after learning where Britt and Rocco were hiding, putting their future in jeopardy. Elsewhere, Trina struggled with the fallout from Curtis and Portia's latest clash, while Carly and Jack raced against time to save Josslyn.

Britt's Condition Worsens

Charlotte put Rocco on speakerphone, and he frantically told Danny and Charlotte that he needed help to save Britt. Rocco explained that Britt's symptoms had worsened and he needed her medication as soon as possible. He hoped that Nathan would be able to provide it for her, but Charlotte asked how he'd be able to get it to them.

Charlotte wanted to know where her brother was, but he already wasn't supposed to be in contact with anyone in Port Charles. He was risking everyone's safety by making this phone call, so he needed to think fast and speak just as quickly.

Rocco gave Charlotte the address, but he swore her to secrecy. He couldn't risk Lulu or Dante getting their hands on it. He requested that only Nathan receive his location, which could prove deadly. He had no idea that Nathan was really Cassius and that he was actively working alongside the very man who wanted him apprehended.

Britt gave Rocco a list of things to procure that would help ease her symptoms, and she promised not to leave while he was gone. Rocco returned soon after with everything she needed. However, her troubles were far from over.

Curtis and Portia Clash

Curtis showed up at Portia's house, and he noticed all of the changes she'd made since he used to live there. She wondered why he requested to meet there to begin with, and he confessed that he wanted to speak about Trina. They needed to find a way to coexist because their drama was taking a toll on their daughter.

Trina wasn't speaking to either of them after the baby shower, and rightfully so. Trina went out of her way to craft an incredible day for her unborn sibling, and they trashed it. There was no way for Curtis and Portia to get along at this stage, which was only going to make things worse. Curtis was determined to continue his crusade against Isaiah, so tensions were never going to ease if he didn't let it go.

At that very moment, Portia couldn't take back any of the things she said at the baby shower. Curtis created the mess they were currently in. Despite attempts to always make Portia look like the bad guy, Curtis and Jordan were the villains in this story.

Trina Draws a Line

Ava and Trina talked about the baby shower a bit, and clearly Ava didn't realize what went down after she took off. Ava was gobsmacked to learn about everything that happened after she left, including Curtis threatening to lay hands on Isaiah again. Thankfully, he stood down, but there's no chance that it looked good for him.

Trina wasn't sure how things played out at the shower because she left early. She refused to be used as a pawn in their war against each other. Even Ava knew that dragging Trina into the mix wasn't the way to handle things. Ultimately, Trina came to realize that Kai was right about how unhealthy her involvement in her mother and father's drama had become.

Carly Races the Clock

Carly woke Jack up and told him that Valentin left to meet with the head of the WSB. Once Cullum chose Liesl to finish Faison's final project, they couldn't sit around and wait any longer. It made sense that Liesl would be their next choice to see the project through, but the clock was ticking. They couldn't allow this to come to fruition.

There was a chance that Valentin wouldn't get in to speak with Z, which was unfortunate because it was his only choice. This had to work. It was the only way to save Josslyn, especially since he found proof that Cullum had her captured at Wyndemere.

Carly wanted to find a way back into Wyndemere to locate her daughter, but it was far too dangerous. Cullum knew about her association with Valentin, so she likely wouldn't make it out alive. This was a no-win situation.

Jack called out Valentin's obsession with Anna, and he didn't think Carly would ever have the same sort of impact on him. Carly's immediate jealousy of Anna was entertaining, but her feelings for Valentin were even more evident. This had become something far more real for her.

Jack urged Carly to skip town before Cullum and the WSB snatched her. She was in grave danger because of him making the connection between her and Valentin. Her only choice was to find a way out of town before they found her.

Felicia Shares Her Concerns

Felicia arrived at Nina's apartment to speak with Nathan, and he incorrectly assumed it was about James. Instead, she was there to express her concern for him. She was worried about Nathan spending a noticeable lack of time with James. She understood that his job took up a sizable chunk of his time, but she feared that her reaction had created a wedge.

Felicia's reaction to Nathan and Lulu dating was harsh, and she felt like her actions somehow made him uncomfortable around James and Maxie. However, Nathan already felt like he was inserting himself where he didn't belong. Naturally, he wasn't James' real father, but since Felicia didn't know that, he had to tell a version of the truth. James' true home was with Maxie and Spinelli.

Nathan didn't want to insert himself into a dynamic that was already healthier for James. He had so many people who loved him, and he felt like he didn't belong. James was established and surrounded by real family, but Felicia insisted that Nathan remain a part of his son's life.

Charlotte and Danny showed up looking for Nathan, and they explained that their brother had called them and that Britt was in immediate need of help. They ensured that nobody ever found out about their visit and stressed that they were there specifically for Nina. Nobody could ever know.

Dante Gets a Lead

Ethan asked Lulu what she was working on, and she filled him in about an article on Sidwell's arrest. However, she couldn't go into detail because Dante stormed in wanting to speak with her. Dante wanted to talk with Lulu alone, but she insisted that Ethan stay. Dante was vehemently against that because he blamed Ethan for getting the passports that allowed Rocco to leave the country in the first place.

Ethan defended Lulu for wanting to get her son to safety, even if that wasn't what Dante wanted to hear. Ethan took off after the tense exchange, and Dante informed Lulu that Brick and Sonny had a lead on Rocco. They were going after him, but sadly for Britt, they planned to hold her accountable for taking Rocco.

Nathan showed up at Dante and Lulu's house, and he said he could provide them with information about Britt and Rocco. He knew exactly where they were, and he was ready to do the right thing. Despite the request to keep it to himself, he had no choice but to fill in Rocco's parents.

Did Nathan make the right decision by telling Dante and Lulu where Rocco and Britt are, or should he have honored Rocco's request for secrecy? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
