On Tuesday, September 16, 2025, General Hospital features a day filled with emotional confrontations, family challenges, and surprising turns.

At The Brown Dog, Gio and Emma take a break from putting up missing dog fliers for Outback. Gio suggests offering a reward, but refuses to ask Tracy or the Quartermaines, planning instead to approach Sonny.

Emma gets a call and rushes with Gio, only to learn someone has found Outback’s collar.

Emma becomes distraught, fearing Outback could be in a kill shelter because he is not chipped. Gio comforts her as she blames herself.

At the same bar, Liz meets Molly for drinks. Molly asks about Ric, and Liz reveals she received an email about his digital detox.

Molly believes Ric is reconsidering his priorities, particularly regarding Ava, and recounts Kristina and Cody’s plan to break Ric and Ava up.

Liz insists she and Ric are only friends, though Molly calls her a good influence.

Meanwhile, Ava and Kristina talk at Ava’s place about their fabricated story to Liz. Ava points out Ric mistakenly copied Willow on a bill he sent to Nina.

This convinces Willow that Ric represents her pro bono.

Kristina questions Ava’s loyalty to Nina, but Ava says sacrifices must be made. Lucas arrives, and Kristina leaves.

Lucas tells Ava that Britt is alive and recalls how Brad leaned on him after her supposed death. He now wonders if Brad knew the truth.

At Nina’s, Willow visits to discuss Ric’s email. Nina admits she hired Ric to help her daughter regain custody. Their discussion turns heated as Nina confesses she urged Ric to advise Willow to avoid Drew.

Willow accuses Nina of trying to control her life, while Nina counters that Drew is the one with all the power.

The argument escalates, with Nina accusing Willow of blind loyalty to Drew and Willow firing back that Nina’s lies have cost her everything.

Willow storms out after angrily insisting she is nothing like her mother.

At Maxie’s, Brook Lynn and Lulu continue caring for Maxie’s children. Lulu confides her fears about Britt’s return and Rocco’s growing curiosity.

Brook Lynn assures Lulu that Rocco will be fine because he can rely on his parents.

On the pier, Britt runs into Jason, who offers her help despite her resistance. She becomes emotional when discussing Rocco and eventually accepts Jason’s assistance in finding a place to stay.

At the Quartermaine estate, Felicia brings James to Cody after a nightmare. James worries he caused his mother’s illness.

Cody and Felicia reassure him, and Cody lifts his spirits with a promise of adventure. Later, Kristina checks in on Cody, who says Molly has shut him out.

In the final moments, Gio and Emma share a close moment before resuming their search, Cody discovers Outback at the stables, Lucas reaffirms he is moving on with Marco, and Nina and Willow’s feud reaches a breaking point.
