Willow Ticked Off Tristan

At General Hospital, Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) was anxiously awaiting the autopsy report for Jack Brennan (Chris L. McKenna).

He was hopeful that it would reveal something to clear Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) of any wrongdoing. Tristan agreed to let him see the report as well.

Just then, Willow entered, announcing that she had secured permission from the WSB and Homeland Security for Tristan to assess her mother, who had been transferred from Steinmauer to a nearby facility.

Frustrated by Willow’s irritating demeanor, Tristan initially declined, but he eventually relented after Willow adjusted her tone.

Baines Notified Nina Of Jack’s Death And Valentin And Carly’s Arrest

Meanwhile, at the WSB black site in Port Charles, Chief William Baines (Alimi Ballard) informed Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) that Jack’s body had been discovered, and both Carly and Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) had been arrested on murder charges.

Nina was devastated to learn of Jack’s death and felt anger towards herself for not recognizing sooner that Carly had set her up, accusing her of killing her daughter Nelle Benson (Chloe Lanier).

Nina expressed her frustration, stating that Valentin was merely the latest victim of one of Carly’s plots.

Tristan arrived to check on Nina’s health. After confirming she was well, he presented her with a tube of lipstick, a thoughtful gift from her daughter. The gesture brought tears to Nina’s eyes.

Ava Told Drew About Jack’s Body Being Found

Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) thanked Kevin Buchanan (Dan Gauthier) from The Banner for covering Curtis Ashford’s (Donnell Turner) story.

Just then, Ava Jerome (Maura West) entered, revealing that Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) told her the PCPD found Jack Brennan’s body.

Drew soon discovered that Carly and Valentin had been arrested for Jack’s murder.

Ava expressed frustration that Nina could have avoided going to Steinmauer if Drew had framed Carly instead, and Drew replied that Nina deserved her situation after pushing him off the dock.

Willow then arrived, telling Ava that Nina had been transferred to Port Charles and mentioning that with the police focusing on Carly and Valentin for Brennan’s murder, her mom might be released soon.

Ava looked at Drew with concern.

Joe Continued To Question Carly, Lucas Pointed Something Out To Him

In the PCPD interrogation room, Joe Fitzpatrick (Jonathan Bennett) continued to question Carly about the “C” bracelet.

She insisted that she might have received it as a gift from Jack, but added that it was a very trendy style, making it impossible for the PCPD to prove it belonged to her.

Carly urged Joe to let the evidence guide him to Jack’s true murderer.

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Lucas finally obtained Jack’s autopsy and toxicology reports.

When Joe visited, Lucas highlighted that the PCPD may have missed a sleeping pill in Brennan’s system.

He remarked that there was no logical reason for a fully dressed man to take a sleeping pill unless it was administered to him unknowingly.

Monet Gave Curtis Some Positive News

Monet Mitchell (Blythe Howard) paid a visit to Curtis at Pentonville and expressed her excitement about how The Banner article was achieving her goal of portraying him as a sympathetic hero.

Monet eagerly inquired about Jordan Ashford’s (Tanisha Harper) reaction, only to feel let down upon discovering that Curtis hadn’t shared her successful strategy with her sister.

The conversation shifted to the timing of filing Curtis’ appeal.

Monet outlined the dangers of filing too soon, but Curtis was eager to proceed.

He wanted to seize any opportunity to return home before Desmond Ashford’s (Yireh Aviah Lafond) first Christmas.

Jordan Developed An Infection

While recuperating from her surgery at the Baden-Baden clinic, Jordan experienced a fever-induced nightmare related to the car accident.

Upon waking, Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) informed her that she had developed an infection.

Although her doctors suggested halting treatment due to the risk to her only kidney, Jordan was determined to proceed.

She attempted to persuade Michael to return home to his children, but he was reluctant to leave her alone.

Michael urged Jordan to rest, assuring her that he would be there when she awoke.

As she began to drift off, Jordan expressed her gratitude to him.

Josslyn Visited Carly At The PCPD

Josslyn paid a visit to Carly at the PCPD.

While she didn’t believe her mother had killed Jack, she concurred with Joe’s view that Carly was concealing something.

Carly confided in Joss that she was protecting someone, but it wasn’t the murderer.

Josslyn informed Carly about her cousin Jude Jacks (Wil Traval), whom Carly had never known about, being in town and claiming to be Phoebe’s father.

Carly cautioned Josslyn not to allow Jude to take advantage of their family connection, similar to how Jerry had with Jax for many years.

Josslyn assured her mother that she would remain vigilant and prevent Jude from gaining access to JJE.

Brook Lynn Dropped Off DNA

Brook Lynn paid a visit to Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) alongside Phoebe Chase (Luna and Lucia Creighton) and expressed her concerns about Jude potentially having a valid claim to the baby.

Both Sonny and Brook Lynn concurred that Jude was probably seeking a financial settlement from the Quartermaines.

Brook Lynn mentioned that although she and Chase were ready to battle for their daughter, she was open to bending the rules in ways that her strict police officer ex-husband would not.

Sonny promised to do everything in his power to ensure that Brook Lynn kept her daughter.

Later, he directed Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) to arrange a meeting with Jude at the earliest opportunity.

Meanwhile, Brook Lynn showed up at GH with samples from Phoebe and Josslyn, asking where she could submit the DNA test.

Annemarie’s Take

That sleeping pill in Brennan’s system could be a huge clue! I’m also worried about Jordan’s infection, especially with only one kidney. And I can’t wait to see what Brook Lynn’s DNA test reveals about Jude!
