On the Monday, May 18, 2026, episode of General Hospital, Curtis ends up at the PCPD, Laura delivers news about Anna, and Josslyn found something ominous.
Jordan knows the truth on General Hospital
At Jordan’s apartment, she and Justine discussed the car crash. Justine pointed out that Curtis may have been upset about the accident, but Jordan was the one with the injuries. Jordan was still fixated on the idea that Isaiah had to be the other driver, but she couldn’t understand why he didn’t just stop.
Justine correctly pointed out that Isaiah, or whoever the other driver was, may not have even know there was an accident. Justine also reiterated that Curtis was just trying to find the responsible party. Jordan said aloud what the entire fandom has been saying: “But I’m responsible. I’m the one who swerved into the other lane.”
At the Metro Court Gardens, Portia and Isaiah tried to leave, but Curtis got in their way. After Isaiah told Curtis he would be a better father to the baby than him, Curtis decked Isaiah and Portia rushed to his side. As Portia chastised Curtis and the police arrived, Isaiah shouted that he wasn’t the one driving the other car.
Both Portia and Isaiah told the cops that Curtis assaulted Isaiah, so a new cop on the block arrested him. He also had an ambulance called for Isaiah, who had hurt his hand.
PCPD business
At the PCPD, Laura stopped by to tell Dante and Mac that Anna was in worse trouble than they had believed. She had asked Kevin to check on Anna, but the news was not good. Mac suggested that Felicia and Emma also hear what Laura had to say.
Laura and Mac left to see Emma and Felicia, but Dante stayed behind to work. He was surprised to see the new cop on the block bring in Curtis. Dante brought Curtis into the interrogation room where Curtis detailed what he thought he knew about Isaiah and the car accident. Curtis went as far as to tell Dante that Isaiah was actively covering his tracks.
Big trouble for Curtis and Isaiah
In the bullpen, the new detective asked a beat cop if Curtis would talk his way out of an arrest because he looked like the type who could get away with anything. Back in the interrogation room, Curtis tried to cut a deal, but Dante told him to lawyer up.
Curtis didn’t call a lawyer. He called Jordan and asked her to track down Michael. Jordan hung up and informed Justine why Curtis had just been arrested. She got to the PCPD on time to hear the new detective explaining what happened to Dante, who led her into the interrogation room.
When she got there, she saw that Curtis had not changed. “Isaiah’s the one who committed a crime. Not me,” Curtis said.
At the hospital, Isaiah learned he had at least 11 broken bones in his hand. The hand specialist thought that Isaiah might need surgery, but they’d know more after the MRI. Portia apologized for not realizing how stuck Curtis was on this car crash theory. But Isaiah said he knew because Curtis was someone who thought he was already right.
About Anna, Emma, and Gio
Sonny interrupted Gio playing guitar in the Quartermaine solarium. He was there to meet little Phoebe. Sonny was pleased to learn that Gio was going to accompany Trina in her showcase. Gio thanked Sonny for encouraging him to return to his music roots. When he was playing with Trina, it all felt right to him.
Sonny assured Gio that he was in good hands with Brook Lynn, as she and Lois were savvy managers who knew everything about the music industry. When Sonny left, he asked Gio if he would be home for dinner. Gio admitted that Emma had planned to make him dinner in exchange for another guitar lesson.
Felicia dropped in to visit Emma, but when Emma went to get her some tea, she broke a mug and broke down crying. It turned out to be a mug Anna had made when she was a child. When they cleaned up the mess, Emma admitted that her life seemed great on the surface, but without Anna, she was a mess deep down.
Emma also wondered if there was something wrong with her for feeling any happiness at all when Anna was in such bad shape. Felicia assured Emma she had a right to be happy just as Laura and Mac arrived. Kevin had been able to learn that Anna had successfully escaped, but was back at the French mental institution now.
Anna was now being transferred to a more intense mental health facility for people who could be a danger to themselves or others. If she hadn’t gone to this new facility, she would have had to face criminal charges. Emma became hysterical just as Gio walked in
Josslyn’s big find
Josslyn and Cassius continued playing cards, but when Josslyn stood up, he warned her that she wasn’t going anywhere. In fact, he felt that he was keeping her safe in her Wyndemere prison. He reminded Josslyn that the only reason that she was safe was that Cullum didn’t know she was there. Cassius warned her that could change.
Cassius finally asked Joss why she joined the WSB. Joss explained that someone she loved had been murdered and she wanted justice. Instead, she got retribution by killing his killer. That led her to the WSB where she thought she was doing something important.
After Cassius left, Josslyn returned to her little cot. When she moved the bed to pick up some playing cards she dropped, Josslyn finally found Anna’s etching, reading, “Anna Devane was held captive here. I was taken on 10.31.25.”
Nina and Ava catch up
Nina and Ava sat down for a meal at Bobbie’s, where Nina told Ava about what happened to Jack. Ava pointed out that this was exactly what had happened to Drew, but she was curious why Nina was so concerned. She also wanted to know why Carly couldn’t sit vigil by her boyfriend, so Nina informed Ava that Carly and Jack were no longer together.
Ava still found Nina’s interest in Jack to be fascinating. Nina thought it was a logical concern. After all, the man collapsed right in front of her. Ava seemed to finally understand, but then went into her own rant about Jenz needing all her emotional support. She also lamented being in the middle of Sonny and Ric’s latest brouhaha.
Ava couldn’t believe that Sonny’s latest bodyguard had threatened her. Nina assured her friend that Sonny would never hurt her, but Ava just called Nina naive when it came to Sonny.
