• Brennan strikes a secret deal with Willow and Nina, offering damaging information on Drew in exchange for keeping his condition hidden.
• Lucas reveals he wore a bulletproof vest, confirming the shooting was part of a risky plan to catch Sidwell in the act.
• Stella tears into Curtis at the baby shower, blaming him for making an already difficult family situation even worse.

• Trina reaches her breaking point and decides to step away from her parents’ constant drama, choosing to focus on her own future instead.

Sidwell Was Arrested

Right after Sidwell shot Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) three times in the chest, Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) and Joe Fitzpatrick (Jonathan Bennett) came out from behind the building.

They  arrested Jenz for attempted murder and Lucas disclosed that he had been wearing a bulletproof vest.

Laura Collins (Genie Francis) and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) showed up, leading Sidwell to realize they had teamed up with the PCPD to catch him in a crime.

A handcuffed Sidwell insisted that Dante arrest Sonny and Laura for the murder of Professor Henry Dalton (Daniel Goddard.

But when Dante requested evidence, Sidwell hesitantly confessed that he no longer had the proof because it had been taken by his guest, Lucas.

Sidwell Escaped

“Nathan West” (Ryan Paevey) arrived at the scene, and Sidwell stated that they had set something unstoppable in motion by framing him; a vague comment that Cassius Faison (Ryan Paevey) seemed to grasp.

Dante then told “Nathan” to take Sidwell to the PCPD for processing, but  Cassius stopped while heading to the PCPD and informed Sidwell that he couldn’t shield him from a murder attempt accusation.

He urged Jenz to withdraw from the project and flee the country, but Sidwell pointed out that he had multiple backup plans ready to safeguard himself.

This would make it difficult for Cassius to extricate himself and his family from their deal with Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes); the two then planned Sidwell’s getaway.

Joe Took Lucas To The Hospital, And Dante Got Bad News

At Laura’s urging, Lucas agreed to let Joe take him to G.H. for an examination; at the hospital, Joe wondered if risking his life was worth it, and Lucas said it was for Marco Rios (Adrian Anchondo).

Once Lucas entered the exam room, Joe looked confused.

Back at the ‘crime scene,’ Dante told Sonny and Laura that he was pleased their plan succeeded after Lucas put his life on the line to provoke Sidwell.

However, when the commissioner inquired about Henry Dalton, Sonny and Laura pretended not to know.

Dante then received a call from ‘Nathan,’ who said he had been attacked by Sidwell’s men, and while he was unconscious, Sidwell managed to escape.

Carly Took Action

Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) and Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) theorized that Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) was being held hostage at Wyndemere by Cullum and Sidwell.

Carly was resolute in her decision to search Spoon Island for her daughter, yet Valentin advised her to approach the situation with caution and avoid a reckless assault on the castle.

Even though Valentin offered to conduct the search at Wyndemere himself, Carly remained firm in her belief that she should seize the opportunity presented by Sidwell’s open-door policy and take the lead in rescuing her daughter.

It was plain that Carly was not going to be talked out of it.

Jack Stopped Willow From Dosing Him And Made A Deal

Just as Willow Cain (Katelyn MacMullen) was on the verge of injecting Jack with the paralytic, he suddenly reached up, grasped her hand, and pleaded with her not to proceed.

He disclosed that Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) had not been drugging him, just as Nina herself walked into the room.

As Willow urgently whispered to her mother about ceasing the drugging of Jack, he revealed that he possessed leverage that Willow could use against Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison).

He explained that Drew had misused federal funds by diverting money from the McConkey Esplanade to support his campaign, and as long as Willow backed him, he would provide the evidence once he was completely recovered.

Jack Wanted To Pretend To Stay Locked In As A Cover

In the meantime, he wanted to maintain the illusion of being fully paralyzed.

This would give him the necessary cover.

While relieved to have information that could neutralize Drew, Willow was concerned that someone might uncover her drugging of her husband if it continued much longer.

Jack believed she would only need to administer one or two more doses to Drew, and Nina urged her daughter to follow Jack’s plan.

A Disgusted Trina Left The Baby Shower Without Saying Goodbye

After the shower ended, Curtis and Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr) argued about her support for Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson).

Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali), fed up with her parents’ drama, left without saying goodbye.

Upset by the fighting, Stella criticized Curtis and Portia for not overcoming their differences for the baby and Trina.

Curtis stated that his issue was not with Portia, but with Isaiah, who had abandoned him and Jordan to die; Jordan also accused Isaiah, recalling how Curtis had to rescue her from the wreckage before the car blew up.

Isaiah, claiming he was innocent, said he had tried to maintain peace with Curtis, but now his career might be ruined because of Curtis’s actions.

Auntie Stella Reamed Curtis Out

Supporting Isaiah, Portia told Curtis not to reach out to her, and she would keep him updated on appointments through her doctors.

Later, Aunt Stella expressed her disappointment in Curtis’s behavior over the past few months and criticized him for making a tough situation worse during the shower.

She hinted that she wouldn’t be surprised if they called their lawyer to take action against him in court.

After Stella left, Jordan told Curtis that it was unfair for Portia to claim she was right to keep him out of Trina’s life and that the baby would be better off without him as a father.

Declaring that he would be a great dad, Jordan promised to support him completely.

Trina Decided To Stay Out Of Her Parents’ Drama

As Trina joined her friends Kai Taylor (Jens Austin Astrup), Emma Scorpio-Drake (Braedyn Bruner), and Gio Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza), at the boathouse, she couldn’t help but express her frustrations.

She shared how she had put in so much effort to create a memorable baby shower for her parents, only to have it spoiled by their argument.

Trina confided in her friends that she was done with the ongoing drama of her parents and was determined to prioritize her own well-being.

With the unwavering support of her friends, Trina made a bold declaration: she was going to channel her energy into the upcoming music showcase.

Tracy Checked In On Lulu

Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) paid a visit to Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening) and suggested utilizing one of her numerous private investigators to locate Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) and Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud).

Lulu turned down the offer, explaining that she couldn’t disclose any details but feared that if others found her son, it would put him in greater danger from those who wished him harm.

Lulu lamented that she had failed her son since Rocco had sought out Britt, but Tracy reflected that he was merely emulating the example Lulu had set by assisting someone in need.

Lulu expressed her gratitude to Tracy for being “the best stepmonster” she could have wished for and for always being there for her.
