Key Takeaways

• Jason returns to Port Charles.
• Valentin offers Brennan a dangerous deal.
• Willow’s escape plan falls apart.
• Britt is stunned by Jason’s return.

Scout Begged For Family Peace

Willow Cain (Katelyn MacMullen), Nina, Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr), Scout, and Drew were at the boathouse when Danny and Jason Morgan (Asher Antonyzyn, Steve Burton) returned from their road trip.

Jason wanted to discuss Danny and Scout’s living situation with Willow, but she said she was too busy. Jason became curious when Willow asked Nina to bring Drew home so she could call the WSB.

After Scout expressed her wish for the family to get along, Jason stated that he and Drew needed to set aside their differences for their kids.

He then took Rocco to the solarium and assured him he would take full responsibility for shooting Cullum if the WSB pursued him due to Danny’s claim.

Jason Tried To Alleviate Rocco’s Guilt

Jason tried to alleviate Rocco’s guilt about him taking the blame by reminding him that he had saved both Rocco and Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) that night.

He encouraged Rocco to move on with his life, sharing that he was trying to do the same. Meanwhile, at the dock, Scout told her dad how much she and Danny enjoyed living together and hoped Drew would let them spend more time together.

Scout got upset when Danny made a comment about Drew not being able to talk-Nina intervened, stating that Drew loved Scout and wanted her happiness.

Danny then apologized to Drew for his comment and past behavior, assuring him that Scout could always rely on him.

Elizabeth Confronted Willow About A Communication Device For Drew

Elizabeth Baldwin (Rebecca Herbst) visited Willow’s office to ask why Drew’s communication device wasn’t arranged yet.

Willow explained she was delaying it due to unresolved issues with Drew, not wanting to discuss them while he used the device. She promised to have it installed the following week.

As Liz left, Willow received a call from Jack, who shared the bad news that he couldn’t find the black box, leaving them without leverage against Drew.

Jack, feeling he owed Nina, offered to fly Willow, Wiley Corinthos (Viron Weaver), and Amelia Corinthos (Sienna Goerisch) out of town that night with new identities.

Dante Tried To Mend Fences With Chase

Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) knew Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) wanted Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) back as a detective and to work together again, so he tried to mend their professional relationship.

He suggested Chase consider questioning Willow about the Sidwell case since Ezra Boyle (Daniel Cosgrove) mentioned a connection.

Ultimately, it was Chase’s decision-deciding to bring her to the PCPD was the right move, Chase arrived at Willow’s office just as she was about to leave town.

This was shortly after Willow called her mom to share the news and invited Nina to join their escape.

Valentin Reconnected With Alexis

At Bobbie’s, Valentin expressed his regrets to Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) for any attention she had faced as his family member during his time on the run.

When Alexis encouraged him to make the most of his second chance, Valentin assured her that he intended to do just that. But he was also focused on reclaiming his assets and planned to enlist the help of the WSB to achieve this.

Meanwhile, Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) returned to her job and participated in Jack’s interview with Britt.

Brennan inquired if Britt had come across a secured black box at Wyndemere, possibly left by Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes), but Britt was unaware of it.

Valentin Showed Up With The Black Box And Proposed A Deal With Jack

After Britt’s departure, Joss expressed her belief that Britt was being honest. Jack inquired whether Josslyn had encountered the black box during her stay at Wyndemere, but she had not.

Josslyn then probed if the box contained any of Jack’s personal secrets. When she inquired about its contents, Jack responded that it was classified information.

Aware that her position had its limits, Josslyn acknowledged that there was a valid reason for her not being privy to the details.

Later, Valentin showed up at the WSB office to propose a deal: he would return the black box in exchange for something that held value for him.

Lucas Apologized To Britt

Elizabeth and Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) were annoyed when Britt arrived late for work- when she arrived,  she told Lucas that the WSB had called her, but he said her victim act was getting old.

Lucas apologized for saying he preferred Britt when she thought she was dying, but noted that she still acted entitled, then why she came back to G.H. if she wouldn’t change her attitude.

Taking his words to heart, Britt explained to Liz why she was late and apologized for not notifying anyone.

However, she was upset that Liz had already reported it to Stella and HR, as required by hospital policy.

Later, Britt felt jealous seeing Elizabeth and Lucas looking at apartment listings, but her mood lifted when she saw Jason walk into the hospital!

A Raging Nina Pushed Drew In The Lake Strapped To His Wheelchair!

Scout and Danny set off to rendezvous with Alexis, leaving Nina behind at the boathouse, where she found herself alone with Drew.

His wheelchair was strategically positioned at the edge of the dock, overlooking the water. After frantically leaving a message for Jack, inquiring whether Willow was correct in saying they had lost their leverage over Drew, Nina made a quick decision regarding him.

Just as she was unlocking the wheels of his chair, she was taken aback when Drew suddenly spoke up-What’s wrong, Nina?” he mocked, “Did you receive some bad news?”

Regaining her composure, Nina shot back, “Bad for me. Worse for you;” she then forcefully pushed Drew’s wheelchair straight into the lake!
