It’s another wild ride in Port Charles, and let’s just say, some people need to start buying lottery tickets because their luck is that bad. Buckle up, because this General Hospital full episode recap is about to take you on a drama-filled rollercoaster, and honey, there are no seat belts!
A Wreck, a Confession, and a Hot Mess
 |
Ric is taken to General Hospital after a car crash | GH, ABC |
Ric’s car crash is the talk of the town, and let’s be honest, nobody saw this plot twist coming. Paramedics are on the scene, jaws of life in full action, because Ric is out cold and Liz? She’s not looking too hot either. Meanwhile, Kristina, cruising down the road, spots the flashing lights and immediately thinks, "Please don’t let this be about Ava!" But, oh girl, it’s so much worse than she imagined.
Upon arrival, Kristina goes full panic mode because guess what? That was supposed to be Ava’s car she sabotaged. Whoops. She spills the truth to Lucky—yes, the same Lucky who actually still believes in her redemption arc. He does what any semi-intelligent person would do and tells her to hightail it back to Charlie’s and pretend she was up to something completely innocent. Kristina listens (for once) and takes off before the sirens get any closer. Meanwhile, Liz gets stretchered out, and Lucky realizes just how messy this situation really is. Too bad the cops aren’t in the mood for his dramatics.

Charlie’s Bar: Where Everybody Knows Your Business
Over at Charlie’s, Cody and Molly are making small talk, which is ironic considering the last time Cody was here, he was making a scene and throwing punches. Mac set up this little playdate to see if Cody could actually act like a human in public—spoiler alert: jury’s still out. But hey, he did do Molly a solid by smoothing things over with her parents, so she’s feeling generous. She even hands him a little "get-out-of-jail-free" card for the next time he inevitably screws up. Touching, really.
Mac arrives, gives Cody the once-over, and declares himself proud that his protégé isn’t currently throwing fists at anyone. Things seem almost peaceful, until Kristina finally waltzes in, looking all kinds of distracted. The guilt is written all over her face, but Molly’s too busy worrying about Ric and Liz to notice. Then, boom! GH calls with the news—Ric’s in the hospital, and Molly doesn’t waste a second before heading out. Cody, playing the knight in slightly dented armor, offers to drive, while Kristina tags along, still mentally spiraling about the mess she made.
Ric’s Hanging On—For Now
Over at GH, it’s not looking good. Lucas is working his magic, but Ric is going to need emergency surgery and a massive blood transfusion. Yikes. Molly, Kristina, and Cody show up just in time for Lucky to hit them with the bombshell: Elizabeth and Ric are both in bad shape, and things could go south fast.
Meanwhile, Drew is at his office making moves—well, trying to. He’s in the middle of handling business with Kai when Alexis walks in and immediately gets suspicious. Turns out, Drew’s big news isn’t about work at all—it’s about moving in Willow, Wiley, and Amelia. Alexis? Not thrilled. In fact, she calls it exactly what it is—a giant mistake. She argues that Scout needs stability, not another round of major changes. Drew, being the stubborn man-child he is, insists that it’s happening whether Alexis likes it or not. Before she can chew him out any further, Kristina calls with the accident news, and Alexis rushes off.
At GH, Alexis finds Molly spiraling and Ava lurking around looking for Ric updates. Bad move, Ava. Alexis isn’t having it and promptly drags her away, because the last thing this situation needs is Ava’s extra drama.
The doctors aren’t handing out good news today. Liz has a broken leg that needs surgery, but first, they need her to wake up. Meanwhile, Ric? His head trauma is severe, and they’re doing everything they can. Lucky pulls up a bedside vigil, willing Liz to open her eyes, and miracle of miracles—she actually does. One tiny flutter, but hey, he’ll take what he can get.
Tracy vs. The System: A Showdown for the Ages
Over at the Quartermaine crypt, things are just as dramatic, if not more so. Anna is out here arresting Emma, which, let’s be real, has to be one of her more awkward family moments. Meanwhile, Tracy is standing her ground like the queen she is, absolutely refusing to let these government goons bulldoze her family’s final resting place. But Ezra and his team? Completely unbothered. Trina, ever the media-savvy activist, is filming everything, and Tracy makes sure the world knows the Quartermaines have done more for General Hospital than anyone else in Port Charles.
Ezra doesn’t flinch. He’s convinced no one is coming to save Tracy from her inevitable eviction. But then, enter Diane, legal powerhouse and savior of the day, armed with a cease-and-desist order straight from Dr. Monica Quartermaine herself. Boom. The crypt stays. Ezra is shook, and Tracy gets the last word, as she always does. Meanwhile, Gio and Emma’s not-so-secret plan actually worked, though Emma’s celebration is cut short when she finds herself still under arrest. Turns out, she’s got a few priors. Whoops again.
Drew Takes Another L
Just when you think Drew’s day couldn’t get worse, Ezra drops by with some soul-crushing news: not only is the crypt still standing, but Drew is now legally forced to go back to using the Cain name. Ouch. Turns out, Tracy didn’t pull off this power move alone—Monica was behind it. If Drew thought he was the mastermind of this town, he just got a reality check.
Anna vs. Emma: A Generational Standoff
Anna is still trying to wrap her head around Emma’s sudden need to be Port Charles’ resident rebel. Emma, however, is standing firm—this fight was personal. She was honoring Edward and Alan Quartermaine, both of whom were there for her mother in her darkest moments. Anna respects the sentiment but reminds her that breaking the law still has consequences. And, surprise surprise, Mac shows up with a file that suggests Emma might actually be in real trouble this time.
Tracy, ever the boss, arrives just in time to offer to pay Emma’s legal fees, but it’s not enough to keep her out of jail tonight. Looks like Emma’s spending the night behind bars. Maybe next time, she’ll think twice before getting arrested in the name of activism. (Then again, probably not.)
Sonny and Jason Are on the Case—Kind Of
Meanwhile, in Toronto, Jason and Sonny are trying to get some answers out of a hitman, but let’s just say their interrogation skills could use some work. The guy almost spills the truth before making a last-minute escape attempt, which ends with him dead on the floor. Classic. Sonny and Jason scoop up every electronic device they can find, hoping Brick can work some magic and find out who put the hit on them. Until then, Sonny is on high alert—this war isn’t over.
And with that, another day in Port Charles comes to a dramatic close. SoapOperaReviews.com provides daily spoilers and full episode recaps. Check back often, we live for the drama!
