Jack, Carly, And Valentin Had A Showdown

After Jack stormed into Carly’s room and saw the men’s clothes on her floor, he angrily asked who she was cheating on him with.

“Turn around,” she teased, and his heart dropped when he saw Valentin with a gun.

Brennan thought Valentin had turned Carly against him for revenge, but Cassadine calmly said Carly had come to him, admitting she pretended to be his lawyer to visit him at Steinmauer.

An upset Jack asked why Carly had betrayed him; as Valentin aimed his gun at Brennan, a cold Carly challenged Jack to admit what made her turn to Valentin and want to destroy him.

Carly then revealed she knew Jack had involved Joss in the WSB.

Carly Continued Raging At Jack While Jack Tried To Make Excuses

Carly continued, telling Jack he  exploited her grief over Dex Heller (Evan Hofer) to trick her into killing Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) so he could turn her into a “lying, murdering spy- like you.”

Carly said that since she found out, she was determined to get her daughter away from him, crying Joss would never be the same, snapping “There’s no redemption for you in my eyes.”

Jack claimed he regretted involving Josslyn and irritated Carly by saying Josslyn enjoys being an agent.

He insisted he had protected Joss, and Carly retorted that he only cared about her daughter if something went wrong.

Jack realized Carly had tricked him into arranging Valentin’s transfer from Steinmauer because they had been working together.

The Three Continued Their Showdown

Valentin bragged about how easily Carly got Jack to do what she wanted; Jack threatened prison for hiding a fugitive and that Valentin wouldn’t help, he’d just take Charlotte Cassadine (Bluesy Burke) and vanish.

“And I won’t lift a finger to save you,” Jack said angrily, suggesting maybe the WSB would throw her in a pit with Jason.

He turned to leave, but Valentin halted him, warning that if Jack didn’t help them, he’d hand him over to Director Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes), a double agent ready to use Jack as a scapegoat.

Defeated, Jack told Carly he was sorry for lying, but he had never lied about loving her and wanted to spend his life with her.

He added sadly that he thought Carly was too clever to fall for Valentin-as he left, he wondered how long it would take for Valentin to betray her.

Cassius Kidnapped Joss

After firmly seizing Josslyn’s arm, the man she thought was “Nathan” revealed that he was aware of her identity as a WSB agent.

Still under the impression that he was indeed Nathan, Josslyn proposed that he must have suffered significant trauma during the years he was believed to be dead.

She then offered to assist him in getting the help he needed, but “Nathan” insisted that his condition was beyond repair and adamantly refused to release her.

In a moment of desperation, Josslyn snatched a candlestick and struck him in the head, but the struggle that followed culminated in Cassius choking Josslyn until she succumbed to unconsciousness.

Jenz And Ava Walked In On Pascal Threatening Lucas

Pascal threatened Lucas with a fire poker for snooping and told him to leave Wyndemere; their fight was interrupted by Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) and Ava Jerome (Maura West).

Sidwell told Lucas to reach out if there was an issue with Pascal, but Lucas dismissed it, saying Pascal was just taking his grief over Marco Rios (Adrian Anchondo) out on him.

Lucas updated Jenz and Ava about Kristina Corinthos-Davis’s (Kate Mansi) plan to honor Marco by building tennis courts at the Corinthos-Davis LGBTQ+ center.

Initially, Jenz wasn’t happy about a Corinthos honoring his son, but he changed his mind after Lucas and Ava praised Marco’s bravery in saving Kristina.

Jenz even offered to fund the courts, and Ava suggested he keep his donation anonymous so Kristina wouldn’t feel overlooked in her efforts.

Cassius Called Pascal For Help, Brook Lynn Was Nervous

Pascal received a call from Cassius, who required assistance in cleaning up the situation at Josslyn’s apartment; he discreetly signaled Sidwell about the emergency with a nod.

To clear Wyndemere, Jenz proposed that he, Ava, and Lucas go to The Savoy.

Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) felt a wave of panic when Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) and Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) talked about the paint from the other vehicle that had been discovered on the guardrail.

Michael James Scott arrived and reunited with Gio Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza) and Emma Scorpio-Drake (Braedyn Bruner).

Gio then introduced him to Curtis and Trina and brought him over to meet Brook Lynn and Chase.

Brook Lynn Was Moved When Gio Introduced Her As His Mother

Brook Lynn was moved when he referred to her as his mother.

She excitedly told Chase how wonderful it was to hear Gio call him his mom, and he smiled, saying that both Gio and Phoebe (uncredited) were fortunate to have Brook Lynn in their lives.

However, Brook Lynn hid her anxiety about the possibility of losing the baby if her involvement in Jordan Ashford’s (Tanisha Harper) accident were to be revealed.

Before heading backstage to prepare for his performance, Michael James Scott invited Gio to return to play in Aladdin once more.

Emma enthusiastically told Gio about the fantastic opportunity, but he mentioned that performing in that way wasn’t something he had thought about before.

Kai And Trina Talked, Molly And Cody Discussed Her Book Tour, Ava And Lucas Discussed Pascal’s Threat

At the club, Kai Taylor (Jens Austin Astrup) shared with Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) how enjoyable his visit to the little boy in the hospital was.

Meanwhile, Molly Lansing-Davis (Kristen Vaganos) and Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) wondered if traveling together on her book tour would affect their relationship, but he reassured her that he was eager to spend time with her.

Ava, Lucas, and Jenz arrived just in time for Curtis to introduce Michael, who sang a jazz rendition of “Friend Like Me” from Aladdin.

After the show, Trina and Kai slipped away for some private time. Lucas told Ava that Pascal was projecting his grief over Marco onto him, and the butler’s actions were becoming more inappropriate; concerned, Ava thought about discussing this with Jenz.

Gio Told Emma He’d Know When He Was Ready To Play Music Again, Kai And Trina Got Romantic, Joss Woke Up In The Room Under Wyndemere

Gio confided in Emma that he would know he was ready to play music again when he felt the same joy as Michael did, while Sidwell secretly called Pascal to ensure the issue was resolved.

Trina and Kai returned to her apartment, which showed no signs of the earlier conflict between Josslyn and Cassius.  

That was, except for the candlestick now on the coffee table instead of by the door, and she went to her bedroom to be intimate.

Meanwhile, Josslyn woke up to find herself trapped in the same hidden room under Wyndemere where Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) had been held.

As she yelled at “Nathan” to free her, Cassius observed from the other side of the window, clutching his injured ribs.
