General Hospital's Rocco.

Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) seeks out Rocco (Finn Carr) and tells him, “I wish I could just figure out a way to take it away from her.” Rocco may open up about how badly Scout (Kayden Brenna Tokarski) is hurting because of Drew (Cameron Mathison) and his attempts to keep her away from Danny (Asher Antonyzyn). Britt knows a thing or two about complicated family pain, so Rocco may have found exactly the right person to unload on.

Emma (Braedyn Bruner) explains to Anna (Finola Hughes), “Then before I know it, Gio and I are going to have to drift apart.” She already tried making plans with Gio (Giovanni Mazza), only to run into the reality of his growing music career and its demands on his time. Emma may be getting ahead of herself, but Port Charles teenage relationships have survived worse things than scheduling conflicts. 

General Hospital's Aunt Stella.

Aunt Stella (Vernee Watson) says to Marshall (Robert Gossett), “If they escalate things, she might just cut them out completely.” Stella may fear that if Curtis (Donnell Turner) goes to prison and the family keeps pushing, Portia (Brook Kerr) could decide she has had enough and shut them out of her life with Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) and baby Dez. After everything this family has already put each other through, that would be one more fracture they really do not need.

Michael (Rory Gibson) informs Willow (Katelyn MacMullen), “I finally have proof that you shot Drew.” Trina (Tabyana Ali) and Kai (Jens Austin Astrup) revealed that they were there when Willow shot Drew, giving Michael the ammunition he has been desperate for in their custody fight. If he can prove it, this may be the move that finally tips the scales in his favor. 

General Hospital's Curtis.

And in court, Curtis stands waiting as a juror states, “We find the defendant…” Everyone is holding their breath as the verdict finally comes down after a trial that dragged nearly every family wound into the open. Whatever the jury decides, Curtis is about to learn whether he walks out of that courtroom or starts paying a much steeper price for that punch.
