On the Friday, September 11, 2026, episode of General Hospital, Britt begged Jason to stand by her side, Jordan gave Curtis some big news, Tracy decided Chase should cheat, and Carly gave the WSB a lead.

Now Curtis Blames Brook Lynn

Jordan called in a favor and got permission to visit Curtis at Pentonville before he was supposed to be allowed to have visitors. She had some news for him. Before Jordan got a chance to spit it out, Curtis dropped the bomb that Sidwell was his cellmate.

Curtis explained that putting two high-profile prisoners together would protect them, but Jordan thought the exact opposite. Sidwell now had a chance to retaliate against her. Curtis didn't think so. "Sonny has eyes in here and they are all on Sidwell. Trust me, the last thing Sidwell needs in here is more enemies," Curtis assured.

Finally, Jordan came out with it and told Curtis that Brook Lynn was the other driver that fateful night in April. Curtis refused to believe it, so Jordan gave him the details. Curtis was shocked that Brook Lynn would only get a fine. Jordan had to admit that Brook Lynn was not actually a part of the crash. But now Curtis was mad at Brook Lynn and blamed her for his Pentonville predicament.

Trina Blames Brook Lynn

Brook Lynn tried to apologize to Trina, but she slammed the door in her face. Brook Lynn refused to leave and talked to Trina through the door. Trina finally let her in and told her to say what she needed to say. Brook Lynn once again reiterated that she had no idea that there had been a crash or she would have stopped.

Trina wasn't sure she believed her, but it didn't matter. In Trina's mind, Brook Lynn should have come forward as soon as she knew that Curtis was searching for the other driver. Brook Lynn had to admit that she hadn't come forward because she had feared losing Phoebe. What if child services had thought she intentionally left the scene?

"So, you stayed silent to protect your child, but my father won't get to know his child for the next two years because of you," Trina accused. Brook Lynn apologized some more. But Trina was on a roll and completely unforgiving. Finally, Brook Lynn had to stop her and step in because Trina was wrong.

"I am responsible for not coming forward as the other driver on the road that night. I admit that. But I didn't make your father physically attack Isaiah. I can only own my actions, not your father's," Brook Lynn correctly stated. Trina was still as angry as ever, telling Brook Lynn that was a convenient excuse. (For what? She didn't do anything.) She told Brook Lynn that the punch never would have happened if Brook Lynn had told the truth.

Brook Lynn said she wanted to make amends, so Trina accused her of trying to make amends already. "Isn't that what my whole music career is about?" she asked. Brook Lynn denied that accusation. Trina didn't believe her. "You've taken music away from me, too. So now, every time that I try to sing, I'll worry that I don't actually have the talent," she said.

Tracy Does Not Blame Brook Lynn

In the Q living room, Alexis was confused about why Brook Lynn would need a divorce lawyer. Tracy said it was because her marriage was over, even if she hadn't faced it yet. Alexis wanted to hear from Brook Lynn, but Tracy wasn't wasting time. "Tell me exactly what I have to do to protect her interests as Phoebe's mother," Tracy said.

Alexis assured Tracy that Brook Lynn and Chase had the same rights to Phoebe as if she were theirs biologically. They would share custody of Phoebe in a divorce. Tracy thought that Brook Lynn would have the upper hand due to Chase's interest in Willow. Alexis informed Tracy that if Chase and Brook Lynn legally separated, he could do whatever he wanted with Willow.

Tracy deduced that she should make sure that Chase and Brook Lynn did not file for separation until Chase did what we all knew he wanted to do with Willow.

Chase Blames Brook Lynn

At the Metro Court Gardens, Ned tried to talk some sense into Chase. However, Chase didn't want to hear it and told Ned that this was a private matter and asked him to stay out of it. Ned wasn't about to walk away. He wanted to talk about Phoebe.

An angry Chase told Ned that Phoebe was all he was thinking of. "Brook Lynn and I promised to give Phoebe a family and now it's falling apart and she's only six months old," Chase said. Ned advised him not to let his marriage fall apart. "Because I promise you, you will regret it," he said.

Ned told Chase that he regretted not fighting Lois on the divorce and letting her raise Brook Lynn in Brooklyn. "You will be separated from Phoebe and you will lose precious time that you'll never get back," Ned said. Chase had a good question: "How can I stay in that house and my marriage if Brook Lynn and I don't trust each other?"

When Chase lamented about raising Phoebe on a foundation of lies, Ned suggested putting in the work to fix his marriage, rather than walking away. Chase just didn't think he could handle any more lies.

Carly Blames Nina

In Carly's office, Valentin asked Carly how she felt with all signs pointing to Jack being gone for good. She didn't get a chance to answer, because Acting WSB Station Chief William Baines arrived to ask her about Jack. It turned out he and Valentin went way back, but did not like one another.

Carly relayed the whole story of the night Jack had vanished, right down to the security system breach. Baines picked up on Carly's hostility and wondered if she was more involved with Jack's disappearance than she was letting on.

Valentin didn't take kindly to Baines being accusatory with Carly. "We both know what happened to Jack. He cashed out and he ran," Valentin said, wrong again. Baines didn't buy it and wondered if Valentin had done something to Jack. Carly finally spoke up and suggested that Baines look into Nina Reeves.

Carly told Baines that Nina and Jack were arguing about Nina's daughter in a public restaurant. "Nina said something about Jack getting something for Willow that she needed and she threatened to destroy Jack if she didn't get it," Carly said, matter of factly.

When Baines left, Valentin glared at Carly for throwing Nina under the bus. He told Carly he felt bad because he was the reason that she had gotten involved with Jack in the first place. Carly tried to convince Valentin that none of this was his fault. Valentin worried that Nina would be the main suspect if something really did happen to Jack.

Back in the Metro Court Gardens, Ava and Nina met up for a meal. Ava was sad that she couldn't drink because she was taking antibiotics for her tick bite. Nina couldn't stop talking about the tick, asking Ava where she could have come in contact with it. Nina changed the subject to Jack and mentioned that she hadn't heard from him for a few days.

Nina told Ava about the fight she had with Jack about Willow a few weeks ago. "I wish we both had handled it differently because I really like Jack," Nina admitted, making Ava feel guilty. Ava reminded Nina that Jack was an international spy, so he couldn't check in all the time. Nina realized Ava was right and decided to relax...not knowing that Agent Baines was watching her.

Drew and Willow Blame Each Other

When Willow entered her office, she was surprised to see Drew sitting in the chair. Willow reminded Drew this was her congressional seat now. Drew taunted Willow, telling her that she thought she had evidence against her that she didn't really have. "Jack Brennan does. Speaking of Chief Brennan, have you seen him lately?" Drew asked.

Drew went on to make several remarks, insinuating that Jack had disappeared. That meant that Willow didn't have anything to use against him. "And I have so much to use against you and Nina. You two have committed so many crimes. You shot me in the back twice," he sneered. "Prove it," Willow countered.

Willow pointed out that Drew had no proof of anything she and Nina had done to him. Drew didn't seem to care. He planned to tell everyone she shot him. "I mean, half the town already believes it and the other half will when I tell them that sweet, innocent, doe-eyed Willow came into the house that we shared and shot me twice in the back," Drew said.

He reminded Willow that Michael would never let her anywhere near her kids again. Willow dared him to go public. "You are a pathetic man who obsessed over your nephew's wife," Willow said. She even reminded him of what he said about her on the stand, making her sound like the picture of innocence and virtue.

"Go for it. Tell the town you're an insane dupe. Half the town already believes it. The other half will when you open your mouth," Willow spat.

Britt Blames Anna, Jason Blames Britt

Outside the Q boathouse, Britt surprised Jason when she asked him to be her witness when she pressed charges against Anna for attempted murder. Jason tried to reason with Britt, telling her that Anna was not in her right mind, but Britt didn't want to hear it. She wasn't waiting around to see if Anna would try again. "Jason, you're a witness; you have to help me stop her," Britt said.

Jason understood that Britt was scared, but he had known Anna for years and was sure that Anna would not come after her again. Britt didn't care what Jason assessed. She saw the look in Anna's eyes and feared her going after Maxie's kids. Jason insisted Anna was going to get help. "We just need to let her," he said.

Britt refused to believe that. "Suddenly, she's going to be rational again? That her unloading a clip into an imaginary person was a one-time thing?" she asked. Britt wanted him to support her and come with her when she reported what had happened to the police.

Britt said that Anna needed to be locked up, but Jason argued that was the worst thing for Anna since her PTSD stems from being locked up. "How can you even say that you want her locked up or prosecuted for what she did when you knew she was being held prisoner and you did nothing to save her?" Jason asked.
