On the Wednesday, May 13, 2026, episode of General Hospital, Willow took matters into her own hands with Sidwell, while Cullum wanted to take matters into his own hands with Jack.
Willow and Nina whisper their truth on General Hospital
Nina greeted Willow when she arrived at the hospital with a warning. A hardened and angry Willow thought her mother was arousing suspicion by being there. She needed to be careful before she got them both in trouble.
Nina argued that she needed to know what Jack remembered, so she wanted to be there when he woke. Willow informed her mom that they had about 72 hours until Jack could speak and tell anyone what happened. Nina warned Willow that someone was going to figure out that Drew and Jack had the exact same stroke symptoms. Willow insisted she would take care of things and didn’t want Nina involved anymore.
Britt and Lucas conspire
Jack remained unconscious in his hospital bed with Britt standing over him, talking. With Jack down, she felt she was the only one who could bring Sidwell and Cullum to justice. The only thing she cared about was protecting Rocco.
Later, Britt spotted a recovered Cullum by the elevators and watched him approach Nina and introduce himself. Nina was alarmed but played it cool as Cullum asked for info on Jack’s alleged stroke. When Nina saw Lucas, she directed Cullum to him for more answers about Jack’s condition.
Lucas didn’t want to tell Cullum anything due to HIPAA laws, but lo and behold, Cullum was Jack’s healthcare proxy. Cullum suggested they go see Jack, but Britt stepped in and told Lucas she needed him to check on a patient.
Britt took Lucas aside and warned him to keep it together around Cullum before he realized Lucas suspected him of killing Marco. Lucas was ready to tell Sidwell that Cullum murdered his son and let Sidwell take care of their Cullum problem. Lucas admitted he came close to spilling it earlier, but resisted.
Britt knew that something had to give soon, but Lucas wanted to be 100 percent certain that Cullum indeed killed Marco before they made a move. Meanwhile, in Jack’s room, Cullum told Jack the stroke may have saved his life. Now, Cullum didn’t have to kill him.
Sidwell gets some serious news
Earlier at Wyndemere, Sidwell stared at his blackmail photo of Laura and Sonny before pulling out an envelope of Marco’s childhood photos. Lucas walked in to interrupt his thought, so Sidwell showed Lucas the snaps, telling him it was all he had left of his son.
Lucas and Sidwell sifted through the photos, as Sidwell reminisced. Sidwell thanked Lucas for giving him a year with Marco. He was sure that Lucas living in Port Charles was what made him stay. Lucas wished Marco had stayed in Miami, where he wouldn’t have been killed.
As Lucas was walking out, Willow walked in. She lied and said she was there to speak to Sidwell about his new helipad. Lucas finally left, so Sidwell and Willow could talk. After Willow regaled the story of what happened to Jack (leaving the Nina and Valentin part out of it), Sidwell was furious.
Sidwell became more enraged after Willow suggested they stop drugging Drew. Sidwell didn’t see how that would help, so Willow explained. She wanted people to focus on Drew’s recovery, not the idea that two people had a stroke in the same living room three months apart.
As Sidwell argued, Willow proved she wasn’t intimidated and got in his face. Willow told Sidwell that Drew knew he was the drug supplier, so he’d go down too. She demanded that Sidwell, “smart man” that he was, figure out how to solve their little problem. Sidwell didn’t care what Willow had to say and made sure she knew that he gave the orders, not her.
Later, when alone with Cullum, Sidwell told him what really happened to Jack. Sidwell warned that things would get complicated when Jack woke, so Cullum declared that Jack couldn’t wake.
Michael’s best laid plans
Jacinda visited Michael in his Aurora office with Crimson’s wardrobe closet industry list. She only brought it as an excuse to see Michael. Their romantic moment came to an abrupt end when Elaine, the private investigator with an adorable dog, stopped by to give Michael the photos she took of Chase and Willow.
Elaine told Michael that he and her pup, Mavis, found Chase and Willow in the park. Michael was pleased with the pics of the pair in what seemed like a compromising position. Elaine commented that Chase and Willow were well on their way to sleeping together.
After Elaine left, Michael told Jacinda about his plan to expose Willow via an affair with Chase. Michael aimed to create a scandal that would give him full custody of Wiley and Amelia. Later, with the photos still on his desk, Willow burst into the office asking to talk.
Baby time
Alexis sat down with Brook Lynn and Chase at the Metro Court Gardens to discuss adoption. Alexis reminded them there was no guarantee they would even be allowed to adopt Phoebe. She advised them to petition for adoption early to get to the top of the list. Alexis suggested they conduct their own private search for Phoebe’s family first.
Kristina met up with Ethan across the restaurant. He told her that he needed her help as he stared at Brook Lynn and Chase with the baby. Ethan informed Kristina that he had gotten on Ric’s bad side and vice versa. Kristina assured Ethan that Ric couldn’t be trusted. Ethan worried that Ric might retaliate against him after the incident with Ava. When Kristina spotted her mother with her clients, she suggested they say hello and see the baby.
They did just that, but Alexis was alarmed when Brook Lynn asked Kristina if she wanted to hold the baby. Thankfully, it all went well. Alexis was relieved, but when Kristina and Ethan returned to their table, Kristina told him about losing Molly’s baby in 2024.
Isaiah’s fears
When Isaiah returned to the cabin, Portia could tell that something was bothering him. Isaiah told her about being called into Justine’s office. He thought he wanted her medical advice for a case, but that wasn’t the reason. Portia was surprised to hear it was about Jordan’s accident.
Isaiah was glad that Portia didn’t believe he would ever leave the scene of an accident. However, he knew that Curtis had to be behind this. Portia admitted that it made sense to suspect Isaiah, especially when he refused to cooperate. Isaiah agreed, but he wasn’t going to take the fall for something he didn’t do.
Isaiah was a little taken aback when Portia started to defend Curtis. Isaiah was sure Curtis wanted to think the worst of him, but Portia didn’t think so. She wanted to remain optimistic that they could all still get along. Look at all the progress they have made, in Portia’s mind, at least. They were even planning a baby shower with Jordan on the guest list.
Curtis and Jordan on the warpath
Jordan was staring at her bandaged face in the mirror when Curtis walked in. He informed her that Justine had questioned Isaiah, but he was being evasive. The judge wouldn’t even issue a warrant. Jordan thought that was that, but Curtis wasn’t giving up. Isaiah’s refusal to answer questions has set him on even more of a warpath than before.
Even Jordan seemed put off by Curtis’ insistence and tried to reason with him, but it did no good. Finally, Jordan seemed on board with Curtis looking for evidence, but still looked at him skeptically. She also thought Isaiah was hiding something, but wasn’t sure what.
The conversation then turned to Jordan’s bandage. She knew she was a coward for not taking it off, so she finally walked to the mirror and removed it. When she looked at her scarred face, she decided the other driver needed to pay.
