How Did Ric Know About Sasha’s Secret?

General Hospital’s June 4 episode left fans wondering how Ric even knew about Sasha’s secret. During the intense custody battle between Willow and Michael, Ric dragged Sasha to the witness stand and forced her to admit something she had kept hidden for years: that Michael is the father of her child.

How did Ric know about Sasha and Michael’s secret on General Hospital?

Ric, knowing about Sasha’s secret in General Hospital, points directly to Nina Reeves. In the May 28 episode of General Hospital, Nina began connecting the dots after a casual chat with Maxie Jones. Maxie mentioned the night before Halloween, and something about that time didn’t sit right with Nina, so she started digging.

Nina visited the Brown Dog and spoke with the bartender who had worked that night. She first showed him a photo of Jason Morgan, as he had claimed to be the mystery man Sasha left with. However, the bartender didn’t recognize Jason. But when Nina showed him a picture of Michael Corinthos, the bartender immediately confirmed that Michael was the one who left the bar with Sasha. That moment confirmed her suspicions.

Earlier, Nina believed Jason might be the father. He had always protected Sasha, and that seemed like something he would do for someone he loved. But Maxie planted doubt by pointing out that Jason had no real reason to lie for Sasha. Nina realized Jason wasn’t protecting Sasha, he was protecting Michael.

From there, everything clicked. The timeline made sense, and Nina understood the full truth. She didn’t waste time. With Willow battling Michael for custody of their kids, Nina handed the information to Ric. It was a calculated move to give her daughter an edge in court.

Ric wasted no time using Sasha’s secret. On June 4, he called Sasha to the stand and grilled her. He brought up her past with Michael, the night at the bar, and slowly cornered her with hard questions. Sasha tried to avoid answering, but Ric pushed harder. He warned her that lying under oath could land her in prison for seven months, which is long enough to have her baby behind bars.

Faced with no way out, Sasha admitted it. She and Michael slept together that night, and yes, Michael is the father of the baby. Sasha lashed out, calling Ric a disgusting creep, but the damage was done.
