Nina Reeves’ Coverup Request

After Nina pushed Drew into the lake, regret hit her hard, and she called out for him; when he didn’t answer, panic set in, and she ran away.

Meanwhile, at the WSB office, Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) told Jack and Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) he would give them the black box he found if they unfroze his accounts.

Just as Jack confirmed that Drew’s file was in the case, a frantic Nina burst in. Jack told her he had the evidence to take Drew down, but Nina cried it was too late: in a moment of despair, she thought she had killed him.

Desperate, she begged Jack to help her cover it up, and they rushed back to the Quartermaine boathouse.

Gio Palmieri To The Rescue! 

While spending time with Gio Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza) and Phoebe (Luna and Lucia Creighton) in the solarium, Brook Lynn Quartermaine Chase (Amanda Setton) had some questions.

She aimed to confirm that he hadn’t felt any pressure to sign the record deal. Gio reassured Brook Lynn that he wasn’t going to change his decision and expressed gratitude for her concern, resulting in a touching moment between mother and son.

Afterward, Gio made his way to the lake for a swim, where he noticed something unusual in the water! He saw bubbles, and immediately dove in to investigate.

Willow Cain’s PCPD Questioning

As Willow was about to leave town, Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) arrived at her office to take her to the PCPD.

Tearfully, she pleaded with him to pretend he couldn’t find her, as she was in crisis; Chase refused to lie, leading Willow to reluctantly agree to go in for questioning.

Elsewhere, Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) and Molly Lansing-Davis (Kristen Vaganos) discussed the Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) case while waiting for Willow.

Molly hoped linking the congresswoman to the criminal would bolster the prosecution’s case and finally land Willow in jail.

In the interrogation room, Dante and Molly questioned Willow about her meetings with Sidwell.

She insisted their dealings were legitimate, tied to Sidwell’s corporation in Port Charles, and warned them their questioning bordered on harassment before storming out; both Dante and Molly sensed she was hiding something.

Drew Cain’s Recovery

Jack and Nina hurried back to the boathouse to save Drew, only to learn from Gio that he had already pulled Drew from the water.

Nina was initially troubled, thinking Drew had drowned, but Gio reassured her that he was still alive.

Willow was at home, preparing to escape the country with Wiley and Amelia Corinthos (Viron Weaver, Sienna Goerisch).

As she bent down to examine a muddy footprint on the floor, the front door slammed shut. When she turned around, Willow was shocked to see a soaked and menacing Drew standing in the doorway, with revenge and murder in his eyes!

Valentin Cassadine Makes Nice

As Josslyn and Valentin sat together, anxiously awaiting news about his assets, a lively debate ensued regarding his connection with Carly Spencer (Laura Wright).

Valentin couldn’t help but probe into whether Josslyn had negotiated for his freedom out of a sense of gratitude for having saved her life.

In response, Josslyn acknowledged her appreciation but firmly expressed her disapproval of Valentin’s relationship with her mother.

Just as the conversation reached a tense moment, Josslyn received a notification that Valentin’s funds had been reinstated. Valentin thanked her, and then left the WSB office.

Harrison Chase’s Good News

Chase arrived back home and shared with Brook Lynn the exciting news that Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) was offering him another opportunity to become a detective.

He also mentioned that he and Dante were working on mending their professional relationship in preparation for their partnership.

Staying true to his commitment to be open about his dealings with Willow, Chase let his wife know that he had taken Willow to the station for questioning and had declined her invitation to join her at a conference.

Brook Lynn felt a sense of joy knowing that her husband had placed their marriage and family as his top priority.

Romantic Reunion

Over at the hospital, Britt and Jason had a heartfelt reunion at General Hospital, where he revealed the surprising and mysterious circumstances surrounding his release from the prison in Jakarta.

In response, Britt opened up about her own struggles, explaining that she had never actually had Huntington’s disease and expressed her deep remorse for the terrible actions she had taken to obtain Cullum’s so-called “miracle medicine.”

She explained how she’d been gaslighted by Cullum all along, including his being behind the false diagnosis when she and Jason were on the run in Canada.

Grateful for Jason’s selflessness, she thanked him for putting his own life on the line to protect Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr). The couple exchanged heartfelt “I love yous” before Britt had to leave to attend to a patient.

Ethan Lovett Casting Shocker

While enjoying drinks at the Metro Court pool, Ethan Lovett, now played by Christian Howard, probed Ava Jerome (Maura West) about her recent meeting with Brook Lynn.

When Ava confessed her discomfort in keeping Ethan’s secret regarding Phoebe, he emphasized that the baby’s biological father was a dangerous individual, suggesting that it was best for fewer people to be aware of him.

Ultimately, Ava concluded that Phoebe should be with Chase and Brook Lynn, agreeing to remain silent about Ethan’s pretense of fatherhood. Ava stated that they no longer needed to meet, yet Ethan encouraged her to stay for another drink.
