Carly And Jack Talked After Their Intimate Night Together

After their close and intimate night together, Carly escorted Jack Brennan (Chris L. McKenna) to the door.

He expressed his gratitude for her giving him another chance, and she appreciated his update on Jason Morgan (Steve Burton).

Jack then joked that he needed to show how essential he was to the WSB by locating Valentin.

Carly questioned why it was still crucial to find him, given that Valentin had escaped months earlier.

Jack clarified that the agency was interested in the information the fugitive had regarding Sidwell’s dealings with Cesar Faison (Anders Hove).

Valentin Showed His Jealousy To Carly

Once Carly shut the door behind Jack, she turned to find Valentin there; he accused her of becoming soft for Jack and claimed she was planning to betray him.

Carly responded that she felt guilty for Jack’s feelings for her while she was using him.

She mentioned that she could sense Jack’s guilt about bringing Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) into the situation, and Valentin noted that Jack still hadn’t told her.

He then inquired what would occur when Jack finally admitted the truth; would Carly feel compassion for Jack and forgive him?

Carly stated she would never forgive Jack for making her daughter a killer, and every moment with him felt fake.

Valentin And Carly Broke Up

Valentin kept complaining that she didn’t need to pretend to enjoy it, finally confessing he was jealous because he had developed feelings for her over the last few months.

Holding back tears, Carly replied that if Valentin believed she would betray him, he didn’t truly know her.

With a new sense of resolve, Valentin announced that their night together was a mistake and they needed to focus on their objective.

Carly agreed that they shouldn’t let “some Stockholm Syndrome sex thing” ruin everything.

After they both yelled at each other about keeping things strictly professional, Valentin stormed up to the attic-once he left, Carly remembered the passionate night they had shared.

Ric And Sonny Talked About Danny Wanting To Join Sonny’s Mob

Ric and Sonny talked about Danny Morgan’s (Asher Antonyzyn) request to become part of the Corinthos organization, and both agreed that Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) should be informed.

Ric felt displeased when Sonny assigned him the task of updating their mutual ex about her grandson, joking that the job warranted hazard pay.

Moving on to the next topic, Ric advised his brother to be ready in case Sidwell sought revenge against him.

Sonny was confident that once Sidwell’s initial wave of grief subsided, he would come to understand that Sonny had no ties to Marco’s murder and would look for answers elsewhere.

Ric And Sonny Discussed Sidwell’s Threat

The two brothers continued discussing Sidwell, and the threat that he posed to Port Charles, and Sonny personally.

Ric reflected that hopefully Sonny’s statement to Jenz at the church, suggesting that Sidwell’s obsession with him was distracting from the true killer, would be enough to redirect Sidwell’s focus to his other adversaries.

As Sonny escorted Ric out, he remarked that if Sidwell were to kill him, it would result in Laura withdrawing her cooperation.

This would leave  her free to direct the authorities towards Sidwell, since Sonny was accused of killing Henry Dalton (Daniel Goddard) and putting the corpse in her trunk.

To ensure safety, Sonny mentioned that he had his team on standby to protect his family, including Ric.

Cody Took Care Of Molly After Her Surgery

Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) took his caregiver role seriously after Molly Lansing-Davis’s (Kristen Vaganos) surgery, pampering her and even carrying her around the house.

Molly told Cody she would no longer ignore her health for work, and he was a big part of that change.

Then, Molly’s publisher sent her a galley of Laredo Sunrise for revisions, and she offered to change anything that made Cody uncomfortable because he mattered more than the book.

She admitted she was tough on Cody because she was scared to show how much she liked him-Molly revealed that despite saying “Casey” wasn’t him, Cody inspired her book.

And, she gave her characters the happy ending she dreamed of but thought they’d never get; saying he still fantasized about her, Cody climbed on top of Molly to kiss her.

Willow Gushed To Drew About Her Congressional Caucus Reception

At the Cain residence, Willow Cain (Katelyn MacMullen) excitedly told Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) that everyone in the Congressional caucus appeared relieved.

They liked  that she was focused on improving things for her constituents rather than holding personal grudges like he did while in office.

She expressed how wonderful it felt to be involved in meaningful actions, such as helping Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) and Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) become foster parents.

Then, a worried Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) came to talk to Willow privately.

Willow mentioned that Drew wouldn’t be able to share anything anyway, but Nina insisted on a private conversation, so Willow took her husband back to the bedroom.

Nina Told Willow About Jack’s Blackmail Regarding The Traffic Camera Footage

Once they were alone, Nina informed Willow that Jack was looking for another way to find Valentin’s location, and if the second source provided information before she did, he would release the traffic camera footage.

Willow started to panic, but Nina reassured her that she couldn’t be tried again due to double jeopardy.

Willow cried out that the footage would ruin her political career, and Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) would seek full custody of the children.

With her future on the line, Willow pleaded with her mother to work harder to get Valentin’s location from Charlotte Cassadine (Bluesy Burke), but Nina said she couldn’t.

Nina then shared her concern that Charlotte might lose her father and blame herself for trusting Nina.

Nina Explained She Was Stalling Jack While Trying To Protect Willow

Nina was stalling Jack while planning to protect Willow; realizing Jack was using her love for her daughter against her, Willow suggested they do the same to him.

The one person Jack loved was Carly, Nina realized. After rejoining Drew, Willow injected him with more medication, saying she couldn’t lose her children after all she’d done to keep them.

She needed to convince her mother to help Jack catch Valentin. Willow felt bad for Nina, having to choose between her and Charlotte, but thought there might be a way to make it easier for her mother.

Nina Called Jack For A Meeting

Nina asked Jack to meet at Haven Bistro, and he thought she had news from Charlotte. Nina told him she wouldn’t betray the teenager’s trust and said it was cruel of him to make her choose between Charlotte and Willow.

When Jack reminded her she’d asked for his help with Willow, Nina flipped it back on him, saying if the traffic cam footage came out, Carly would learn Jack had evidence that could have saved her son.

Jack argued that Michael had never been arrested, but Nina pointed out that Michael’s reputation was hurt because people thought he shot Drew and framed Willow.

Nina emphasized that Carly would never forgive Jack for hurting one of her children, and he’d lose her forever-Jack fidgeted in his chair, unaware that he’d crossed a line with two of Carly’s children.

Laura Supported Curtis At The Hospital

Laura visited the hospital to see Curtis, who informed her that the doctors saved Jordan Ashford’s (Tanisha Harper) only kidney during surgery, but her condition remained critical.

Laura reassured him that Jordan was strong and would recover. Curtis recounted the difficulty of getting Jordan out of the car with the stuck door, fearing she might be paralyzed due to how he moved her.

When Laura praised him for getting her out alone, Curtis stayed silent about Valentin’s help.

As Curtis expressed he was holding it together for his family but felt close to breaking down, Laura noticed Sidwell exiting the elevator.

Laura Confronted Sidwell

Laura confronted her blackmailer about his presence at GH-Sidwell said he was worried about Jordan, mentioning she was not only his COO but also a friend, and had questions about the accident.

Laura insisted it wasn’t a good time to talk to Curtis since he had been up all night and hadn’t seen Jordan yet.

Sidwell then spotted Acting D.A. Turner and said he would find his answers elsewhere; he approached Turner, but she dismissed him, saying she was too busy to talk.

Sidwell observed from the nurses’ station as Justine spoke with Curtis in the waiting area, asking, not as the D.A. but as Jordan’s yoga friend, how she was.  

Justine told him that Jordan said he was her priority, and Curtis thanked her for the update.

Justine Handled Sidwell

Laura took Justine aside to inform her that Sidwell had questions about the accident, but she wanted to keep him away from Curtis; Justine assured Laura that she would deal with Mr. Sidwell.

Back in the waiting area, Curtis expressed his gratitude to Laura for intervening with Jordan’s boss-he confided he knew she and Jordan were collaborating to gather evidence against Sidwell from within.

Laura contemplated whether Jordan could have been targeted due to her association with Sidwell, but Curtis maintained that it was merely a tragic accident.

He further explained it  occurred when she briefly took her eyes off the road to kiss him, resulting in her losing control while swerving to avoid another vehicle.

Curtis was concerned that the delay before the ambulance arrived could ultimately cost Jordan her life.
