GH Recap October 5: Justine Dumped Sonny, Willow Made Her Move, Serena Fell Out the Window

On the Monday, October 5, 2026, episode of General Hospital, Sonny learned that it's hard to get people to trust former criminals; Willow took Britt's advice, and some Quartermaine falcons caused trouble.

Chaos at the Qs

Jason opened the Q front door to find Serena standing there. She asked if he was Jason and then delivered a message by stomping on his feet. "Scott Baldwin says hello," she said. She introduced herself as Jason asked her to remove her foot. Serena explained that Scott had to leave town in the middle of the night because Jason was going to kill him. So, we finally know why Scott dropped his snacks and hasn't been heard from again.

"I didn't tell Scott to leave and I don't take responsibility for his actions," Jason said.

In the kitchen, Tracy asked Yuri what he overheard during Brook Lynn and Chase's argument at the boathouse, but Yuri refused to tell her. "It was a private moment between a man and his wife," Yuri said. "I won't tell you what I hear between Miss Willow and Mr. Chase, but I won't disrespect Miss Brook Lynn's privacy." Tracy accepted that as an answer. She was pleased when Yuri would at least tell her Brook Lynn and Chase left the boathouse looking upset.

Suddenly, Tracy and Yuri began discussing falcons that had a nest on the roof. These falcons had been killing squirrels in Lila's rose garden. Tracy sent Yuri to get rid of them. (We wouldn't falcons to find a dead body near the nature reserve, now would we?)

Before Yuri did anything, Yuri and Jason discussed how the falcons were protected and they weren't supposed to disturb them. In the living room, Tracy met with Serena and told her that Brook Lynn was running late. When Serena mentioned the falcons, Tracy said she was getting rid of them. Serena advised that Tracy just have the falcon nest moved and not destroyed.

Serena then pretended to leave by slamming the front door, but then snuck upstairs. When Jason was on the phone in the kitchen, he heard a scream. He walked outside to see Serena hanging out the window upside down.

Brook Lynn's Decision

Hudson punched the bag at Sonny's boxing gym, which we hadn't seen in a hot minute. Lo and behold, Brook Lynn walked in for her second workout of the day. She was even still in her tennis gear, which Hudson noted. Brook Lynn seemed to be in a bad mood, which Hudson also noted, so she apologized for her attitude. "I just wanted to punch something and I didn't want it to be my husband," Brook Lynn said.

Brook Lynn began to open up to Hudson about the problems in her marriage, but kept things vague. Hudson admitted that he had a friend who split with his wife when their child was young. He saw how difficult it could be. Brook Lynn said Phoebe helped mask the problems they had. When Brook Lynn returned home, she told Tracy she would do whatever it took to keep her baby.

The Ladies Who Lunch...and Chase

At the Metro Court Gardens, Chase met with Monet and told her that Brook Lynn had wanted them to get their own place and he said no. Monet thought that was a good idea and was glad that Chase was being cautious. Chase said he was holding out hope that they'd work things out, but Brook Lynn showed him they couldn't by trying to be reasonable. He wanted to draw up a legal separation now.

Monet was going to ask for 50/50 custody, but advised Chase to remain in the Q home until he found his own place and hired childcare. There would be no hotel living for this single dad.

At another table, Britt asked Willow about her progress in getting in to see Nina. Apparently, Willow hadn't made any. Willow was surprised that she and Britt were getting along, as Britt even offered to share an order of fries. This meant that Willow and Britt were not best friends, which could be interesting.

When Willow turned around and spotted Chase with Monet, Britt noted that she looked a little red in the face. Willow said she was just thinking about her mother in Steinmauer. Britt knew she was thinking about Chase and wanted Willow to spill. "It must be torture living 100 yards away from a guy you're still in love with," Britt said.

Britt then started to tell Willow about her sad love life. She really thought Jason was going to be the one. Willow felt so bad for her new BFF and offered a listening ear. Willow lamented that she had found real love once "and stupidly let it get away." Britt noted that "the one who got away's marriage is circling the drain."

After Monet left and Chase was alone, Britt took off so Willow would feel she had to talk to Chase. Willow turned around and waved with her little sweet smile and Chase was likely thinking, "Brook Lynn, who?" Willow walked over and found an excuse to speak, asking Chase if he knew if Leo was available to play with Wiley.

Willow sat down to chat some more, so they talked about the falcons. It turned out their nest was right by Chase's new room, so he'd been having trouble sleeping at night.

Josslyn's Mission

Josslyn walked into Baines' office to talk to Sonny, but he wanted to talk JJE. Josslyn told him that a much better use of her time had presented itself. After Josslyn explained herself, Baines wasn't sold. Josslyn confidently told Baines that Sonny was still in the mob. "And if he's gone to this length to convince us otherwise, that means he's planning something," Josslyn incorrectly asserted.

Josslyn made a good argument for herself to leave her JJE assignment and take down Sonny, but Baines insisted on keeping her right where she was. Baines also thought that Sonny would not be so sloppy as to have Sidwell attacked, but Josslyn insisted she was right.

Baines finally explained to Josslyn that she was never going to bring down Sonny by working for the WSB, as he was not the type of criminal they dealt with. Sonny was best left to local law enforcement to handle. After Josslyn left Baines' office, she met with Hudson and asked him to draw up an acquisition plan to "demolish Sonny Corinthos."

Trina's Stalker

Gio returned to Trina's place and told her that Sonny denied being behind the attack, but Gio wasn't sure he believed him. The fact that Dante didn't believe Sonny was the thing that gave Gio doubt.

"My dad always tries to give Sonny the benefit of the doubt and that always meant something...I'd never seen them so angry at each other," Gio said. At least Gio believed Sonny when he said he would protect Curtis. Trina was later surprised to hear that Dante had cut Sonny off. Gio realized he would have to move out of Sonny's house.

Trina and Gio discussed their singing careers and their next gig, which was to take place at the Cat's Eye Lounge next Tuesday, October 13. We also saw Trina's stalker noting the date.

Sonny's Sad Life

At the apartment above Charlie's, Sonny was surprised that Justine thought he was the one who ordered the Pentonville attack. "What happened to innocent until proven guilty?" Sonny asked. Justine vowed to find the person responsible and put them away.

"I hope you nail who's responsible, but it seems to me you've already made up your mind who it is," Sonny said. Justine begged Sonny to be honest and tell her that she was wrong. "You're wrong. I didn't give an order to attack Sidwell," Sonny swore, but he could tell Justine didn't believe him.

A choked-up Sonny once again explained that he had asked Vito to have Sully protect Sidwell, not attack him. Justine wanted to talk to Vito, but Sonny had no idea where he was. He insisted that someone was setting him up. "I told you I was out of the business and I am out," Sonny reiterated.

Justine thought the fact that he had talked to Vito meant he was guilty. Sonny insisted he had just wanted Sully to protect Sidwell so blame didn't fall on him. Justine didn't believe him. "I bought your lies, hook, line, and sinker," Justine said. Sonny tried to get Justine to see that they had built a trust, but Justine didn't care.

"I want you to look me in the eye and believe me when I tell you that I didn't do it," Sonny demanded. "Well, I don't," Justine replied. "Whatever this was, it's over," Sonny shouted, saying he was set up. "I'm telling the truth. I'm not lying," he said. "That's exactly what a liar would say," Justine responded.

Are you surprised by all the people who don't believe Sonny? Is GH chem-testing Serena and Jason? Share your thoughts in the comments.
