    Everything that happened on General Hospital on October 20, 2025

    In her kitchen, Carly appears calm as she shares wine with Jack. He wonders where the flowers he sent her are, and she claims they were accidentally destroyed.

    Jack worries she’s still angry about the Joss-Vaughn situation, but Carly says she’s just uncertain if she can be with someone who hides things from her about her loved ones.

    Jack insists she means more to him than anyone ever has. Carly presses him on why he lied about Joss being in danger. Jack denies it, saying there was never a threat.

    Carly makes him promise that if Joss is ever at risk, he’ll tell her. He agrees, and they kiss, but after he leaves, Carly’s expression turns cold and angry.

    At the courthouse, Marco updates Nathan that Molly Lansing-Davis will take over the arraignment. Martin meets with Marco to coordinate strategy before court begins.

    Nina and Willow are brought in and learn they are being charged separately.

    Willow pleads not guilty to conspiracy and attempted murder, but Molly argues for no bail due to her erratic behavior and resources to flee. Despite Martin’s defense, bail is denied.

    During a recess, Martin runs into Lulu, who mentions she’s attending the Quartermaine tea party to meet Monica’s sister, Ronnie.

    Back in court, Nina shocks everyone by pleading guilty to making a false statement. The judge accepts her plea deal—one year of probation and a fine.

    Nina then publicly recants her alibi, stating she was alone the night Drew was shot. Willow breaks down as Drew calls Nina out for betraying her daughter.

    At the Quartermaine mansion, Brook Lynn and Olivia host a tea party for Ronnie. Tracy arrives, determined to prove Ronnie doesn’t belong.

    Liz and Portia arrive, and Portia hides her morning sickness, not ready to tell Curtis she’s pregnant.

    Inside, Ronnie struggles to fit in, and Stella warns Tracy that conflict is inevitable. Ronnie meets Jordan, Portia, and Liz, flirting playfully while Portia subtly asks for decaf tea.

    Lulu and Martin arrive, and Stella introduces them to Ronnie.

    As the women gossip about Willow, Portia’s nausea worsens, and she rushes out, followed by Jordan. Ronnie grows increasingly erratic, kicking off her shoes and mocking Tracy as uptight.

    Outside, Dante questions Michael about framing Willow. Michael denies it but says Dante doesn’t trust him anymore. Lulu and Lucy overhear Michael admit that if he had shot Drew, he’d be dead, and he wishes he had framed Willow to keep her away from his children.

    In the final moments, Carly secretly calls Spinelli for help creating a new identity, while Jordan corners Portia and reveals she knows she’s pregnant.
