Spoilers for what happens on General Hospital today on August 4, 2025

Obrecht and Anna reflect on regret and motherhood

Down at the docks, Obrecht bumps into Anna and says, “We meet again, Scarecrow.” She explains she came to retrace Britt’s final steps and pay tribute to her daughter’s heroism. Their emotional conversation quickly turns introspective, with Obrecht blaming herself for focusing too much on Cesar Faison and not enough on Britt.

Anna admits she shares the same regret with Robin, having lost herself in the WSB’s shadow. When Anna asks what Obrecht would tell her younger self, she dryly replies, “Not to fall in love with a megalomaniacal Danish terrorist.” As Obrecht walks off, Anna breaks down in tears.

Britt demands her freedom

At The Five Poppies, Britt argues with Pascal after he follows her into her room and berates her for interrupting a business call. She demands better treatment and insists on speaking to the boss immediately. Later, she receives a mysterious call from the big boss and warns him of a serious problem, though in a surprisingly tender tone. After the call, Britt pulls a syringe and vial from her nightstand.

Joss prepares for the new mission

Later, just as Emma and Gio argue over who should break into Dalton’s lab, Joss appears. She explains that she is heading to Australia and that Dalton may contact Emma about the job. She strongly advises Emma to turn it down.
