    Sidwell is expected to appear in the future.

    The article suggests he will be seen in jail talking to another inmate.

    Wednesday episode ended with a cliffhanger. The jury has come to a verdict
    to be announced Thursday, today, Aug 13, 2026.

    Bet Curtis will be found guilty and will hatch some plots involving Sidwell
    and Jordan.

    I suspected we hadn't seen the last of Sidwell. He was such a big part
    of things for quite a long time, it just seemed unlikely they would have written him out overnight.

    Curtis probably *will* be Sidwell's cell mate, never mind that someone
    with Sidwell's sordid criminal history belongs in a supermax, not in a
    state prison like Pentonville. Since that's where they insist on
    stashing Sidwell, he shouldn't be paired up in a cell with someone whose
    only crime was punching someone in the face. But I suppose if Sidwell
    had been put in a supermax, there wouldn't be a chance for Curtis to spy
    on him or act against Sidwell in some way to earn himself an early
    release. And of course once released, he can take up where he left off tormenting Isaiah and Portia. I'm holding out hope that he'll be knocked
    off his high horse when it's discovered that little Desmond's paternity
    test had been botched and Isaiah is the father.

    All that aside, this stuff about Sidwell's assets being auctioned off
    because he was sentenced to prison is nonsense. Assets acquired by
    criminal means could be seized, but according to what Jordan told Val,
    Sidwell had several legitimate business ventures. There would need to be investigations into his finances to determine what was and what was not acquired through illegal means. That could take months or even years.
    Yet the vultures began to circle before the prison gate had slammed
    shut. There was also no mention of assets being seized to pay
    restitution to injured parties. Everything was just ordered auctioned
    off with the stroke of a pen.

    I get that they need to take shortcuts for the sake of storytelling, but
    it wouldn't require more than a line or two from Molly (when she was
    whining about having canceled her book tour and party for nothing)
    mentioning that assets had been seized and would be auctioned to pay restitution to this victim or that for this crime or that. Sloppy.

    Here is some more speculation. Isaiah has been portrayed as good guy all throughout. His only apparent shortcomings: first, he has a bit of a
    temper, visible in the trial testimony, and second he made an error in a surgery, which had him dealing with contrition in Africa, in, seemingly, a Doctors without Borders charity situation.

    But, when there, he was involved in something unsavory with Lucky, the
    details of which were never made clear.

    Sidwell probably has some dirt on Isaiah, which he may use in some sort of
    deal with Curtis .

    Snip rest

    He was provoked, and later regretted letting Martin get up his nose, so
    he gets a pass from me. What I won't give him a pass on is his
    questionable taste in women. Portia? Really? Could he not have found a
    less obnoxious and needy girlfriend?

    and second he made an error in a
    surgery, which had him dealing with contrition in Africa, in, seemingly, a Doctors without Borders charity situation.

    I don't think Isaiah botched a surgery, but he did lose a critically ill patient during a highly tricky surgery and felt so bad about it that he
    left his transplant practice and went to do humanitarian work in Africa.
    That's not to say they won't retcon the story to turn the lost patient
    into a surgery botched due to Isaiah's poor judgment.

    But, when there, he was involved in something unsavory with Lucky, the details of which were never made clear.

    Lucky and Isaiah knew each other from their humanitarian work in Africa,
    and when Sidwell kidnapped Isaiah to use him to patch up injured mine
    workers, Lucky posed as one of the workers in order to rescue Isaiah. I
    don't think Lucky and Isaiah had been doing anything criminal. But maybe
    the story will be rewritten to show that they had.

    Sidwell probably has some dirt on Isaiah, which he may use in some sort of deal with Curtis .

    Well...they can always rewrite Isaiah's story to create some dirt!
