On the Tuesday, May 12, 2026, of General Hospital, Rocco proved that he is about to fall apart when all the adults around him want to do is help. Too bad his brother and sister have no idea what is really going on.
Isaiah in the hot seat on General Hospital
Trina stopped by Isaiah’s cabin with sweet treats to tell Portia it was time to plan her baby shower. Mother and daughter sat down to talk everything baby. Portia’s due date was only a few weeks away, but Portia felt ready, thanks to the support from her loved ones.
Finally, Portia asked what Trina had been hiding. So, Trina happily told her mom about her new music career prospects. Portia was thrilled for Trina. All she ever wanted was for Trina to have the choice to pursue her passions. The subject then turned to the baby shower guest list. Surprisingly, Portia was okay with inviting Jordan.
Isaiah dropped into Justine’s office at her behest, but wasn’t sure why he was actually there. Justine asked Dr. Gannon where he was on April 8th, so he told her, but wondered why she wanted to know. As Justine asked questions about Isaiah’s car, he realized what was going on and refused to say anymore without his lawyer.
He tried to leave, but Justine said they could clear this all up if he allowed her team to take a paint sample from his car. Isaiah wasn’t having it and told her he wasn’t going to allow himself to be railroaded.
After Isaiah left, Curtis showed up, so Justine gave him an update. Curtis was surprised and disappointed that the judge refused to sign off on a warrant to check Isaiah’s car. That didn’t sit well with Curtis, as he was sure that Isaiah was being evasive because he had something to hide. Curtis promised to get probable cause (for what?) and evidence to nail Isaiah. (For doing what?)
Jordan and Molly bond
Jordan was happy to be home and ready to take care of herself as Curtis got ready to leave for work. He brought up the fact that he planned to question Justine about Isaiah, but Jordan hoped that Curtis’ gut was wrong and that Isaiah was not involved with their accident.
Curtis said he wanted the same. After all, he worried about what being right would do to his co-parenting relationship with Portia. But he still wondered if Isaiah was also worried about Portia, so he was keeping mum about the accident.
Later, when Jordan was alone, Molly stopped by with an orchid plant. Molly cut right to the chase and told Jordan that she had wanted to visit earlier, but thought it was awkward after what had happened with TJ. Molly hated the distance between them, but offered to help Jordan with whatever she needed. After talking things out, Jordan and Molly started their relationship anew.
Danny has a plan
Charlotte met up with Danny by the Q boathouse and commented on how weird Rocco has been acting. Danny noted that Rocco also seemed to be off ever since Jason was taken away. Charlotte knew this had to be about what Lulu and Dante had been arguing about the night before.
When Rocco appeared, Danny told him that he knew that Sidwell was responsible for what happened to his dad. He had heard Sonny talking about Sidwell, so he told Charlotte immediately. Rocco was offended that he had not been told, but Danny and Charlotte admitted that he was hard to talk to lately.
Danny just wanted Rocco to help him get to Spoon Island so they could get information to save Jason. Charlotte chimed in and said she knew Spoon Island like the back of her hand. And Danny had Jason’s speedboat, so they were all set.
Well, all set except for Rocco. He suddenly snapped and told Danny and Charlotte that they were insane. He was sure they’d be killed as soon as they set foot in Wyndemere. Danny and Charlotte were taken aback by Rocco’s outburst, but he kept going. He needed his brother and sister to stay away from Sidwell. He even threatened to turn them in if they tried to break into Wyndemere without him.
That’s when it was Danny’s turn to lose it on Rocco. He was going to save his father with or without Rocco’s help. An angry Rocco left Danny and Charlotte alone to talk and plot.
Everyone’s losing it, including Rocco
Lulu opened the door to Britt, whom she had summoned to her home to set things straight about Rocco. Lulu pointed out that the only reason Rocco was in this position was because of her, but she still wanted all of the adults in Rocco’s life to get on the same page.
After Lulu made some snide remarks, Britt tried to leave, but Lulu stopped her. She needed a promise that Britt would do all she could to protect Rocco. That’s when Britt lost it and asked Lulu what she thought Britt had been doing this whole time. She told Rocco to stay away from her and Cullum, but he refused to listen.
As Britt said that they couldn’t expect Rocco to be able to handle this pressure, Lulu wondered if she and “Nathan” had conspired to send Rocco away. Britt swore she hadn’t thought of it, but didn’t think it would be a bad idea. Lulu put the kibosh on that prospect before Britt could blink. She and Dante would take care of Rocco from here on out.
Britt realized that meant Dante now knew and hoped that Dante would know what was best for Rocco, even if Lulu didn’t. That prompted Lulu to kick Britt out before telling her that if anything bad happened to Rocco, it would be on Britt.
Once Lulu was alone again, Isaiah dropped by to tell Lulu that Justine was questioning him about the night he helped Rocco. He swore he hit his car in the parking garage, but if he couldn’t provide an alibi, Justine would go after him.
When Britt got home, she found a hysterical Rocco outside her door. He begged her not to send him away, so Britt let him in and heard him out. Rocco told her about his fight with Danny and Charlotte, but Britt could see that he was about to fall apart. Eventually, Rocco broke down in Britt’s arms.
Rocco remained a hot mess as he told Britt how helpless he felt. She assured him he was anything but helpless. Look at how brave he was that night at the pier.
Dante chews out “Nathan”
Dante welcomed “Nathan” (really Cassius) to his office and promptly asked why his friend never mentioned that his son was the one who shot Cullum and not Jason. Dante was not happy and snapped at Cassius as he began to protest. Cassius was sure that Lulu had told Dante the truth, but Dante said he had figured it out himself.
Cassius tried to defend himself and asked Dante to put himself in his position. He got there, saw a man down, and saw Rocco holding a gun. His first instinct was to protect Rocco, which is what Jason wanted him to do. Dante didn’t think that was any excuse for not telling him. Cassius said he didn’t want to put Dante in a compromising position.
Dante was surprised when Cassius got feisty and noted that Dante should thank him for protecting Rocco. Dante just wanted Cassius to stay away from his son. Cassius said that wouldn’t be an issue cause he and Lulu were done. But Cassius wasn’t done. He caught Dante off guard when he declared that Rocco needed to be shipped out of town.
Cassius revealed more of himself as he grew forceful, but Dante wasn’t having it. He was going to be the one who helped Rocco. Dante also couldn’t imagine how “Nathan” could make the decision to keep something this important from his friend. It was as if he didn’t know “Nathan” at all.
