Everything that happened on General Hospital on July 25, 2025

The episode begins at Carly’s hotel, where Lucas follows her to her office, upset that she walked away from their argument. Carly explains she did not want to make a scene since she owns the place.

Lucas acknowledges he crossed a line by bringing up Morgan, but insists Carly’s loyalty to Sonny has only brought pain. Carly defends Sonny as the father of her children and reminds Lucas that Sidwell endangered Kristina.

Lucas fires back, blaming Sonny for years of violence, including the blood on his father, Julian’s hands. Carly argues that Julian started that conflict, but Lucas says they only have Sonny’s word.

He is shocked that she is grateful Sonny did not kill Marco and says her loyalty shows she is too deeply entrenched in Sonny’s world. He storms out.

At the hospital, Sonny visits Marco and assures him he will not be harmed if he stays out of his father’s business. Marco says it is difficult since he is Sidwell’s lawyer.

Sonny suggests representing only Sidwell’s legitimate holdings and advises Marco to return to Miami.

Marco refuses, and Sonny warns he is putting himself at risk. When Sonny asks if Marco blames him for Natalia’s death, Marco admits he initially did, but now believes it was a tragic accident.

He says Natalia dealt with stress by drinking and did not intend to overdose. Sonny agrees, saying she was strong and regretted being estranged from Marco.

Lucas then arrives and is furious to find Sonny there. Sonny leaves, warning he wants no trouble. Lucas tells Marco to report Sonny to the police, but Marco admits he withheld details from his statement.

He says protecting Lucas is more important than involving them in a larger fight. Lucas accepts this and leaves, saying he has something to attend to.

Back at Carly’s office, Sonny tells her Lucas is spiraling over Marco. Carly shares that she had a similar argument with her brother and that her support of Sonny is driving Lucas crazy. Sonny offers to stay away, but Carly insists Lucas must understand Sonny is part of her life.

At the Metro Court pool, Kristina spots Molly rubbing sunscreen on Cody. She becomes concerned and asks Michael to distract Cody so she can talk to her sister. Kristina confronts Molly, accusing her of sending mixed signals. Molly defends her actions, saying she was talking about skin cancer.

Kristina warns Cody has a history of chasing rich women and urges Molly to be careful.

At Wyndemere, Lucy invites Sidwell to Drew and Willow’s wedding. He declines, explaining he is stepping back from politics for Marco’s sake. At the church, Drew arrives with Scout. Liz reassures him that the schedule is on track.

Obrecht tells Drew she disapproves of him taking Willow from Michael. Liz drags her away. Ric arrives and flirts with Liz, irritating Ava. Ric later defends himself to Ava, who remains skeptical.

Meanwhile, Nina confesses to Willow that she and Drew had an affair. Willow is furious, calling Nina selfish and blaming her for losing her children. She kicks Nina out. The episode ends with Willow arriving at the church in a daze as the wedding march plays, and Lucas handing Carly his key, saying he is moving out.

At Wyndemere, Marco tells Sidwell he is fully committed to bringing Sonny down.
