Curtis Went To Pentonville Intake

Curtis and Jordan shared one last intimate moment before his surrender to Pentonville. Afterward, Curtis dropped Jordan off at Aurora for a meeting with Michael and then went to Portia Robinson’s (Brook Kerr) house to say goodbye to his kids.

He told Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) to live her life while he was away and not to worry about her brother.

He expressed pride in the person she had become and trusted Portia to raise Desmond Robinson Ashford (Yireh Aviah Lafond)  well.

Curtis then bid farewell to Desmond, and Trina promised to bring her brother for visits. As Trina sang a lullaby to Desmond, Curtis arrived at Pentonville, where he was processed and locked in a cell to start his sentence.

Sonny Visited Sidwell

Meanwhile, at Pentonville, Sonny paid a visit to Sidwell. He disclosed that he had found a way to go legitimate thanks to Sidwell’s assets, which were on the verge of being auctioned.

However, Sidwell was skeptical about Sonny’s ability to truly go straight. Sonny took a jab at Sidwell for being incarcerated, and Sidwell retorted that their conflict was far from finished.

As he surveyed the Pentonville visiting area, Sonny mocked its appearance to Sidwell, then advised his rival not to maintain such a negative attitude, saying, “Because a bad attitude in here is no good.”

Laura And Rocco Talked About Scout’s Situation

Laura Collins (Genie Francis) enlisted Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) to take care of her condo while she traveled to Ireland to visit Kevin Collins (Jon Lindstrom) and Ace Cassadine (Kieran and Karis Barry).

Rocco was pleased to earn some extra money, as he feared that Drew might reduce his pool hours if he discovered that Rocco and Scout Cain (Kayden Brenna Tokarski) were secretly spending time together.

Rocco explained the restrictions that Drew put on Scout, and that it was hurting her badly.

However, Laura warned him that if Drew ever prohibited Scout and Rocco from seeing each other, Rocco should comply, as Drew could be quite vindictive.  

Later, Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening) came by to check in on her mother before Laura’s trip.

Lulu And Laura Talked About Lulu’s Lack Of A Love Life

When Lulu inquired about how her mother was managing her long-distance relationship, Laura admitted it was tough being apart, but she felt fortunate to have rekindled her love with Kevin.

Laura expressed confidence that Lulu would also find love again, but Lulu was reluctant to pursue anyone after her experience with “Nathan West” (Ryan Paevey).

Lulu reflected on whether Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) had been her only opportunity for love, and Laura probed if there were still lingering feelings, but Lulu firmly stated that her relationship with Dante was finished.

Laura urged her daughter not to lose hope in finding love.

Scout Secretly Met Danny At The Quartermaine Boathouse

Scout secretly met Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzn) at the boathouse, keeping it from Drew. Although Danny was skeptical about the meeting, Scout felt assured that her swim practices would serve as a valid reason for her presence at the Quartermaine estate.

A disagreement arose between the siblings when Danny made a disparaging remark about Drew, but he ultimately vowed not to put Scout in a position where she felt torn.

While Scout was in the water, Charlotte Cassadine (Bluesy Burke) showed up, and she and Danny began brainstorming ways to implicate Drew in a scandal.

Rocco Overheard Danny And Charlotte, And Warned Them Against Their Plan

Rocco overheard their conversation and cautioned them that their plan could easily backfire. He urged Danny to exercise patience, suggesting that Drew would likely become more lenient.

Danny was taken aback when Charlotte agreed with Rocco, but he told Rocco he would abandon the blackmail scheme if Rocco kept it a secret from Scout.

Once they were alone, however, Charlotte reassured Danny that she was still committed to their plan-she had deceived Rocco because it was best for Scout and Rocco to remain unaware.

Charlotte and Danny then redirected their efforts towards devising a strategy to gain leverage over Drew.

Drew And Ava Plotted Against Sonny

Drew encountered Ava Jerome (Maura West) at the Metro Court pool, where they reaffirmed their commitment to take down Sonny.

Ava encouraged him to leave before Portia arrived for breakfast, but Drew pleaded with her to allow him to stay so he could apologize.

When Portia showed up, he expressed his regret-unsure of Drew’s sincerity, Portia suggested they keep their distance.

After Drew departed, Ava informed Portia about her alliance with him against Sonny; Portia cautioned her friend not to place her trust in him.

She then asked Ava to support Trina, as she would need extra help while Curtis was away- Ava assured her that she would also be there for Portia.

Jordan Gave Drew A Second Chance

At the Aurora office, Michael consoled Jordan, who was feeling down after saying goodbye to Curtis.

He reassured her of her ability to lead the company in Curtis’s absence and offered a listening ear for her emotional and physical struggles. They were taken aback when Drew came by to apologize to Michael and seek a more active role at Aurora.

Michael quickly rejected him, but Jordan suggested giving Drew another chance-respecting Jordan’s judgment as the new CEO, Michael agreed to reinstate Drew.

Pleased, Drew left, vowing that they wouldn’t regret it; once alone, Jordan told Michael she didn’t trust Drew at all-she was just keeping their enemy close.
