Anna Devane, ever the determined investigator, finds herself juggling multiple crises. Despite the heavy workload on her plate, she refuses to ignore the mystery surrounding Nathan and Britt’s shocking return from the dead.

In her gut, Anna knows these so-called “resurrections” are not miracles — they’re the handiwork of someone, or something, connected to the late, infamous FA. Though FA is gone,

his twisted legacy lives on through his experimental projects. Determined to uncover the truth, Anna seeks out Brandon, hoping he might have intel about FA’s shadowy organization.

But Brandon is as elusive as ever. His lips are sealed, and even Anna’s sharp intuition can’t break through his guarded silence. Whatever he knows, he’s not ready to share — not with Anna, not with anyone. This secrecy leaves Anna more determined than ever to expose what FA left behind. She can sense the storm gathering, and she knows Port Charles is on the brink of another dark revelation.

Meanwhile, Britt Westbourne is trying to turn over a new leaf — or at least, that’s what she wants everyone to believe. Her interactions with young Rocco are sweet yet strained, an awkward dance between genuine affection and hidden motives. Britt hopes that with time, she and Rocco will grow closer, perhaps even form a bond strong enough to mend old wounds. But fate, as usual in Port Charles, has other plans.

Unbeknownst to Britt, her fragile hopes are being quietly undermined. Valentin Cassadine, ever the puppet master, whispers dangerous truths to Charlotte, encouraging her to tell Rocco that Britt cannot be trusted. With that one act, Valentin plants seeds of doubt that could destroy Britt’s newfound stability. And unfortunately for Britt, there’s truth behind the whispers. Her secrets — including Nathan’s resurrection and the murky truth of his identity — could shatter everything if exposed. Valentin sees through her innocent façade and knows exactly what game she’s playing.

Elsewhere, Nathan’s return continues to ripple through the lives of those closest to him. As he settles back into Port Charles, he turns to Dante for guidance. Nathan expresses his wish to reconnect with Maxie and, more importantly, to seek custody of their son, James. But Dante, pragmatic as ever, cautions him. He reminds Nathan that James has endured enough upheaval — first losing his father, now adjusting to his unexpected return. Dante urges patience, warning that rushing into a custody battle could do more harm than good. Nathan listens, but the longing in his eyes reveals a man desperate to reclaim the family he lost.

At the Quartermaine mansion, chaos brews in true GH fashion. Tracy Quartermaine and Ronnie are at each other’s throats once again, their feud escalating to new heights. Tracy, never one to back down, abandons her other plans just to attend a tea gathering at the mansion — but this isn’t about small talk. Tracy has one goal: to watch Ronnie closely and prove that she’s an impostor. The tension is palpable as every polite sip of tea conceals sharp glares and veiled accusations.

Brook Lynn, ever the peacemaker, is growing increasingly anxious. She fears that if Tracy keeps pushing Ronnie’s buttons, things could spiral out of control. And worse, the mansion itself might be at risk. If the constant bickering drives the real owner to the edge, they might consider selling it — leaving the entire Quartermaine clan without a home. For a family built on legacy and tradition, that loss would be catastrophic.

Meanwhile, Carly Corinthos is piecing together a different kind of puzzle. After learning shocking details from Jason, she starts seeing through the carefully crafted performances of her daughter Josslyn and her close ally, Brando. Carly realizes that both have been acting — hiding something big — and she’s not about to let it slide. Her next move? A direct confrontation with Brando himself. And when Carly sets her sights on the truth, there’s no escaping her fiery wrath.

Elsewhere in town, another storm brews as the Port Charles Police Department receives an unexpected tip from Justinda. The information she brings could completely change the game — especially for Michael Corinthos. Rumors swirl that Justinda plans to expose Michael’s latest deception, possibly revealing that their relationship has been nothing more than an act. If she talks, Michael’s reputation — and his future — could crumble in an instant.

But amidst all the lies and investigations, one woman stands on the edge of emotional collapse: Willow. She’s been carrying a secret of her own, one that’s become too heavy to bear. Friday’s episode hints that Willow’s wall of denial is cracking fast. Whether it’s about her health, her marriage, or the emotional toll of recent events, Willow finds herself cornered by truth. No matter how hard she tries, she can’t hide behind calm smiles and quiet reassurances any longer. The truth is catching up to her — and once it does, there will be no going back.

As night falls over Port Charles, alliances begin to shift in subtle but dangerous ways. Anna continues her quiet investigation into FA’s twisted medical empire. Britt’s carefully built lies threaten to unravel. Nathan’s longing for family risks turning into a legal and emotional war. Tracy’s relentless suspicions could tear the Quartermaine household apart. Carly’s quest for truth is set to ignite another firestorm — and Justinda’s tip may send shockwaves through the Corinthos family.

And somewhere, in the quiet moments between secrets and confrontations, Willow faces herself in the mirror. For once, there’s no one left to deceive — not even herself. The woman who spent so long pretending everything was fine finally reaches her breaking point. On this haunting Friday episode of General Hospital, Willow’s truth — whatever it may be — comes roaring to the surface.

The dominoes are lined up across Port Charles, and one small revelation could send them all tumbling. By the end of the day, hearts will be broken, loyalties tested, and the fragile peace that’s kept this city standing will once again hang by a thread.

This is General Hospital at its best — raw, emotional, and bursting with the kind of drama that leaves viewers breathless. Willow can’t deny it anymore… and neither can anyone else. The truth is here, and it’s about to change everything.
