Carly Worried About Joss

Carly wanted to inform Josslyn about her fight with Jack Brennan (Chris L. McKenna) but couldn’t reach her. While Carly and Valentin tried to figure out how Jack found out about Carly’s cheating, Valentin speculated that Josslyn might have told him.

Carly left to find Josslyn, and when she didn’t see her at home, she went to the Jerome Gallery to talk to Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali).

Carly was worried that Trina hadn’t seen Joss since the previous night, but Trina thought she was likely up all night studying for finals.

 Carly worried to Valentin that Jack might have sent Joss away, and he had a plan, but told her she won’t like it.

Willow Told Drew She’d Stop Drugging Him Once He Couldn’t Retaliate

Willow Cain (Cameron Mathison) told Drew she’d stop drugging him once she was sure he couldn’t retaliate; Nina came by, and Willow asked her to stay with Drew while she went to a meeting.

She also wanted Nina to move Drew to the bedroom before Kai Taylor (Jens Austin Astrup) arrived, which made Nina wonder if it was better to let Kai go since he knew Willow shot Drew.

As Drew looked shocked at this news, Willow dismissed Nina’s suggestion. Kai dropped off his report on the appropriations committee, and Willow realized she needed to sway more votes for WSB funding.

Nina Failed To Give Drew His Shot

Before leaving, Kai wanted to say hi to Drew, but Willow made an excuse to stop that. Later, Willow told Nina about her deal with Brennan for more WSB funding in exchange for leverage over Drew, but Nina thought it was a bad idea.

Willow then asked Nina to give Drew a shot.

Nina brought Drew back to the living room and apologized for keeping him drugged. But before she could give the injection, she got distracted by a call from Valentin, who had a job for her; she left the syringe on a nearby table.

Sonny Talked To Alexis About His Doubts About Ric

Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) made a visit to Miller & Davis, where he had a conversation with Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn).

During their discussion, Sonny expressed his concerns about Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) after catching him in a deceitful act.
He voiced his fears that his brother might betray him once more. Alexis, however, pointed out that Ric had been making a significant effort to earn back Sonny’s trust, and they both concurred that Ric appeared to be sincere in his intentions to mend their relationship.

Given they’d gotten closer than ever, Sonny resolved to extend his brother the benefit of the doubt, but if Ric were to betray him again, there would be no turning back from that point.

Ric Met Molly And Cody And Was Interrupted By Ava

Ric met Molly Lansing-Davis (Kristen Vaganos) and Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) at the Metro Court Gardens-Ava Jerome (Maura West) came over to talk to Ric privately, which upset Molly.

After Ric scolded his ex for interrupting his time with his daughter, Ava hinted that she had passed on his message and that “he” was ready to finalize the deal that night.

Ava sarcastically warned Ric to keep his promise since she was taking a risk for him, and he assured her he would.

Meanwhile, Molly noticed Ric and Ava getting close across the restaurant and worried they might be getting back together.

Cody reassured Molly that her dad would never reunite with Ava, knowing Ava had previously held Ric captive.

Ric And Cody Talked Alone, Then Molly Came Back To The Table

Cody was alone at the table when Ric came back; he asked Ric about Ava, and Ric replied that he wouldn’t deal with her unless it was serious.

Cody mentioned he hadn’t told Molly about Ric’s time in Alexis’s basement and hoped Ric wouldn’t make him regret keeping that secret.

Seeing how happy Cody made Molly, Ric promised he wouldn’t do anything to ruin that-when Molly returned, Ric assured her that Ava was not a concern.

Molly informed Ric that Cody would join her on her book tour, and Cody complimented Ric, noting how happy Molly was to have him back in town. “Please don’t mess this up,” Molly jokingly warned her dad.

Britt Treated Cassius

At the hospital, Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) asked how Cassius got hurt-he claimed he was in a fight but didn’t say it was with Josslyn.

Cassius emphasized that Britt needed to finish the prototype for Cesar Faison’s (Anders Hove) cold fusion project. He warned that until she did, her son Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) and his son James West (Gary James Fuller) were in danger.

Britt dismissed the idea that James was his son and said that he could never know Cassius’s real identity and sighed, saying he’d tell James and Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening) the truth when the time was right.

He warned Britt that Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) and Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) were threats and would use the boys against them if they misbehaved.

“Nathan” Revealed He Was Cassius To Joss

Later, Cassius went to see Josslyn in her locked room at Wyndemere, where she had been unsuccessfully trying to escape.

Still thinking Cassius was Nathan and had a mental break, Joss begged “Nathan” to let her help him. Cassius then disclosed his real identity, saying his father had hidden him, and Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) thought he died at birth. Josslyn asked how Cassius managed to bring Nathan back to life.

He explained that he had taken Nathan’s body from the grave and hacked the PCPD database to swap Nathan’s fingerprints with his own.

Joss Was Furious, Cassius Told Her She Didn’t Have To Die-He And Britt Want Out

Joss was furious to find out that Britt had revealed her as a WSB agent to Cassius. She realized that Cassius, like Britt, was collaborating with Sidwell and Cullum.

Cassius claimed he and Britt just wanted to escape and didn’t want to kill Josslyn-she pleaded with him to let her go before anyone started searching for her.

Smirking, he said no one would suspect Nathan in her disappearance and warned that he was her best chance of surviving-if she cooperated. As he left the room, Cassius leaned against the door to regain his composure.

Trina And Gio Made A Deal

At the gallery, Trina approached Gio Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza) and requested that he join her on guitar for the showcase organized by Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) which was set to feature music executives.

Gio readily agreed, and they made a mutual agreement that they would stop performing if it ever ceased to be enjoyable for them.

Just then, Kai arrived to pick up Trina for her baseball practice. Shortly after, Ava walked in and generously granted Trina the rest of the day off so she could attend to a private sale.

Emma Was Shocked To Find Britt Subbing For Dr. Navarro

Meanwhile, Emma Scorpio-Drake (Braedyn Bruener) hesitated when Britt stepped in for Dr. Frida Navarro (Christina Ferrare)  during her routine gynecological appointment.

Despite her initial reluctance, Emma decided to go through with the visit. The appointment began on a somewhat shaky note, but things took a turn when Emma brought up that her birth control was causing her headaches.

Britt, in response, offered her some alternative options; ultimately, Emma felt thankful for Britt’s assistance in securing a new prescription.

She surprised her by expressing that she would prefer to see Britt for a follow-up appointment instead of Dr. Navarro.

Cullum Demoted Jack

Cullum, who had just been discharged from the hospital, told Jack that he would be remaining in Port Charles to manage the Sidwell operation.

When he asked Jack to take him to the office to review the evidence related to his shooting, Jack pointed out that anything from the scene was the property of the PCPD.

Frustrated, Cullum labeled Jack as incompetent for failing to secure the evidence and announced that he was now in charge of the Port Charles field office-effectively making him Brennan’s new superior.

Cullum insisted that Jack turn over all his files, including a roster of agents who had been working under him.
