00:00General Hospital Recap July 2nd, 2025

00:03Sidwell sets Selina up, and Agent Jocelyn Jacks emerges.

00:09Here is your General Hospital Recap on what happened in Port Charles.

00:13Today, Wednesday, July 2nd, 2025

00:16Selina Wu arrived at Windermere to meet with Sidwell.

00:21She falsely assumed he wanted to further discuss setting up a high-stakes poker game.

00:26Instead, he asked her there to warn her that she was about to go to war with Sonny.

00:31Selina told him he was misinformed because she was not going to war with Sonny,

00:35and in fact, she went to great lengths to stay on his good side.

00:40Clearly setting Selina up to take the fall,

00:42Sidwell said her peaceful understanding changed with Sonny tonight

00:45when she firebombed Charlie's and almost got Christina killed.

00:50Sidwell smugly raised his glass to her, and she angrily acknowledged that he had set her up.

00:56Selina argued her word would carry more weight with Sonny,

00:59and he would believe her over Sidwell.

01:01Citing that she has crossed him a couple of times in the past,

01:04Sidwell told her not to be so sure.

01:07She felt his ploy was desperate because he knew Sonny was already onto him.

01:11Calm and confident, Sidwell said Sonny would see the evidence point to her associates starting the fire,

01:17and who knew what other evidence Sonny would uncover about her involvement.

01:21Sidwell concluded her best option was to leave town immediately.

01:25Selina said she was not going to leave after having worked so hard to build her business.

01:30Sidwell said she could return with his blessing after he had taken care of Sonny himself.

01:35With Sonny gone, Sidwell claimed she would be returning to a much better Port Charles.

01:40In the end, Selina said she guessed she had a plane to catch.

01:43After she left, Sidwell looked smug in his victory.

01:46At the hospital, Alexis was in Mama Bear protection mode, with Christina in her room.

01:52Christina reassured her she was okay, and went on to explain what happened.

01:56She smelled gasoline when she walked into Charlie's, and before she knew it, everything was on fire.

02:03After the fire extinguisher was not enough, she felt she would not have made it if Marco had not saved her.

02:08Alexis was grateful for Marco's actions, and told Christina that if she had died, she would have killed Sonny with her bare hands.

02:17Christina was reluctant to blame her dad.

02:19Molly came in needing help to fill out Christina's admission forms, because Nurse Deanna needed her identification.

02:26Alexis left to take care of the paperwork, leaving Molly and Christina together.

02:30Nurse Deanna caringly helped a distressed Alexis complete the paperwork at the nurse's station.

02:35Molly commended Christina for staying calm, and not jumping to defend Sonny, when Alexis went after him at Charlie's.

02:43Christina felt, regardless of the reasons, that her dad was not at fault, and knew Alexis was just scared for her child.

02:50Molly reaffirmed how much she loved Christina, and she did not want to lose her,

02:54which brought a smile to Alexis' face as she walked up.

02:57Alexis reiterated she could not lose another daughter, which meant they were contractually obligated to outlive her.

03:03They agreed they need each other, and cannot let anything separate them.

03:08In Natalia's room, Marco sat, holding her hand.

03:12Grief stricken, he was in shock that she had died, and that everything would end this way.

03:17He said,

03:18We had our problems, but I love you, I do love you mom.

03:21At the nurse's station, Lucas shared his worry with Elizabeth and Isaiah,

03:25that he was not sure what to do, and if he should check on Marco.

03:28As they were trying to comfort and reassure him,

03:32Anna and Chase said Lucas could help by helping them figure out what led to Natalia's death.

03:37Lucas told them about Natalia's text messages, which were all gibberish.

03:41He was letting them know that Marco said she would sometimes drink and text when Marco came out.

03:47Lucas rushed to his side as Anna, Chase, Elizabeth, and Isaiah quickly followed.

03:52After Anna offered her condolences for his loss, Marco asked for information about what happened.

03:57Anna explained how they found Natalia unresponsive in her hotel room,

04:02and Isaiah explained they were unable to resuscitate her.

04:05At that point, Isaiah said they speculated the cause of death was an overdose.

04:10Suspicious, Marco immediately asked if it was accidental or intentional.

04:15Isaiah said they did not know, but the preliminary, which is not official,

04:19autopsy results indicated a lethal combination of tranquilizers and alcohol.

04:24Marco described seeing the fire at Charlie's,

04:26and, when he saw a car in the parking lot,

04:29stopping to ensure no one was trapped inside the building.

04:33Anna told him he was a hero, to which Marco responded,

04:36I was able to save Christina, but I was not able to save my mother.

04:40They sat as Anna and Chase asked about the text messages.

04:43Marco could not show them his phone because it was still in his car at Charlie's.

04:47He confirmed that Natalia had sent drunk texts before,

04:50and thought that one of her texts earlier was trying to say,

04:53I'm sorry, but he was not sure.

04:56He confirmed he was going to her room because he thought she might need help.

05:00Lucas tried to comfort him, reminding him nothing was his fault,

05:03and he stopped at Charlie's because he knew someone might need his help.

05:07Marco questioned how Anna ended up at Natalia's hotel.

05:11She explained, with concerns about the impending plea deal,

05:14Assistant District Attorney Turner asked them to pick Natalia up,

05:18after Chase alerted Turner of Natalia's troubled episode at the christening.

05:22Marco said he felt his mother was murdered by Sonny Corinthos.

05:26He said he did not have evidence, but it was obvious, given the circumstances,

05:30that Natalia had evidence against Sonny.

05:32When he said Sonny found a way to stop her,

05:35Lucas intervened and said he should take a minute.

05:38He acknowledged his head was spinning,

05:40so Anna and Chase decided to leave him for now.

05:43After they walked off, Marco thanked Lucas for stopping him,

05:47before he admitted he knew about his mother's deal with Sonny to leave the country.

05:51Marco wanted to call his dad, but did not have his phone,

05:54and could not remember the number.

05:56Lucas said he could help with that,

05:58but needed Marco to get checked out by the doctor first.

06:01Elizabeth helped Lucas locate Sidwell's number,

06:04so he could call and inform him about Marco and Natalia.

06:07To the side, Anna and Chase discussed the possibility of Marco's accusation being right,

06:12when Anna got a text from Metro Court Security.

06:14Sidwell arrived just after Marco received the all-clear from Dr. Gannon.

06:20He expressed his sorrow for Marco losing his mother.

06:23Marco worried about how to break the news to Allison.

06:26He lamented it all being his fault,

06:28because he did not realize how much trouble his mother was in,

06:31and maybe he could have gotten to her if he had not stopped at the fire to save Christina.

06:37Sidwell looked shaken when he realized Marco could have died because of the fire he had started.

06:41Marco said,

06:43Thanks to me, Sonny's daughter is alive,

06:45and thanks to Sonny, my mother's dead,

06:48which left Sidwell confused as to how Sonny was involved in her death.

06:52Lucas and Elizabeth wondered if Sonny would really have Natalia killed.

06:56Lucas did not know what to believe,

06:57but knew it looked like a mob war was starting with Marco's family on one side,

07:01and his family on the other.

07:03At the quarter main mansion,

07:06Tracy asked Brooke Lynn if the christening palooza was over.

07:09Brooke Lynn let her know Sonny and company had checked out.

07:13Tracy was happy to hear it.

07:17Sonny talked about his special connection with Christina and how alike they were.

07:22Understanding her volatility has compelled him to protect her even more.

07:26When Jason assured him Christina's hospital room was being guarded,

07:30Sonny said his whole family would be in danger

07:32until they definitively found out who was attacking them.

07:36Sonny said he could not take losing another child

07:38and wanted to go after whomever did this so hard

07:41that they would make an example out of them

07:43and no one would ever think about coming after his family again.

07:47He felt going,

07:48quote,

07:49eye for an eye,

07:50end quote,

07:51would be effective and fair.

07:53Jason cautioned that if it were Sidwell they were going after,

07:56it would mean targeting Marco,

07:58Sidwell's only known child,

08:00who had just saved Christina.

08:02Sonny understood he owed Marco,

08:04but protecting his family would be more important than some debt of gratitude,

08:07saying,

08:08quote,

08:08if Marco ends up as collateral damage,

08:11so be it,

08:12end quote.

08:13Jason felt there were other ways to get back at Sidwell besides killing his son.

08:18Anna came to see Sonny to inform him that Natalia Ramirez was dead.

08:22She asked him to explain why one of his bodyguards

08:24was seen talking to her earlier that day

08:26and another was seen outside of her room.

08:29She informed him he was considered a person of interest

08:32and she needed to take him in for questioning.

08:35Vaughn arrived at Charlie's pub to find Jocelyn,

08:37who asked him to meet her there.

08:39Visibly disturbed,

08:40Joss told Vaughn she had not planned to come,

08:43but when she heard about the fire at Charlie's,

08:45she went to check it out for herself

08:46and could not seem to get herself to leave.

08:50Joss told Vaughn about Christina almost dying inside,

08:52and even though they were not very close anymore,

08:55she was still upset that Christina could have been killed

08:58just because she was the daughter of Sonny Corinthos.

09:01Having read Jocelyn's history,

09:03Vaughn shared he knew about Sonny being married to her mom

09:06and being the father of Donna and Morgan,

09:08who he also knew died in a car bombing.

09:11Joss acknowledged there was plenty of blame to go around for Morgan's death,

09:15but the bottom line was that Morgan died because he was Sonny's son,

09:18which was the same reason both Michael and Christina almost died.

09:22Increasingly upset,

09:23Jocelyn said her family keeps getting hurt,

09:26end quote,

09:27Sonny Corinthos brings death and destruction wherever he goes,

09:30end quote.

09:32Joss said she has tried to let go of her anger for Sonny

09:34time and time again,

09:36but too many people she loves keep getting hurt,

09:38and she no longer has any sympathy for him.

09:41She finally admitted to Vaughn and herself

09:43that a large part of her motivation for joining the World Security Bureau

09:47was more personal and less altruistic

09:50than just an idealistic version of justice.

09:53She wanted to get high enough in the World Security Bureau

09:55to take Sonny down.

09:57Now, Joss figured Vaughn could turn her in

10:00and get her kicked out of the World Security Bureau

10:02for having an unhealthy personal vendetta,

10:05making her unfit for the job.

10:07Vaughn felt being too idealistic would quickly get her jaded anyway,

10:11but having a concrete goal,

10:12like taking Sonny down,

10:14would sustain her even through the toughest of times.

10:17She asked what his goal was.

10:19He said maybe he would tell her once they knew each other better

10:21and pulled toward her to give her a kiss,

10:24a real one this time.

10:26Gio met Emma and Outback at the cafe,

10:28and they shared some more cute, flirty banter,

10:30but then Emma seriously pointed out

10:32that Gio was actually still upset

10:34from finding out about Brooklyn and Dante.

10:37She reiterated she was there for him

10:39anytime he wanted to talk.

10:40Gio told Emma that he had not figured out

10:43how to put his life back together again,

10:45but he decided to drop out of Port Charles University.

10:49Emma was confused as to why he would choose to leave.

10:52Gio said he was on a music scholarship

10:53and supposed to be a first chair violinist in the orchestra,

10:57which was a huge responsibility and honor.

10:59Because he had no intention of ever playing the violin again,

11:03he felt he was no longer deserving of the scholarship,

11:06would lose it,

11:07and then not be able to afford college on his lifeguard salary.

11:11She encouraged him to borrow money from his family or Sonny,

11:14but he did not want to.

11:16She then suggested he wait until the fall

11:18to decide whether or not to drop his scholarship,

11:21because he might feel different about playing music by then.

11:24Gio saw Emma's point,

11:25but stated he needed a clean break from his old life,

11:28which he felt was full of nothing but lies.

11:31He said his passion was stolen from him,

11:33and his music would be hollow without it.

11:36Gio promised he would not make any decisions

11:38about dropping out for now.

11:40Emma suggested that in the meantime,

11:42he find other things he was also passionate about.

11:45She reminded him that he could help her

11:47take down Professor Dalton.

11:49Emma said they might have to do something drastic,

11:51and possibly illegal,

11:53and wondered if Sonny would give them any pointers

11:55on breaking the law and getting away with it.

11:58Gio looked at her like she was crazy,

12:00and responded with an emphatic no,

12:02quote, definitely not,

12:04not even for a good cause, end quote.
